hannity republicans shouldn t settle for the candidate the establishment wants. let s listen to this rhino hunting that s already going on thanks to that person from alaska who loves this kind of talk. this is not a coronation. this process hasn t begun yet, and there are establishment people telling tea party conservatives he s the only guy that can win. what s your reaction? those establishment people have been quite wrong, it seems especially in recent days. haven t they? we certainly, though, don t have to settle for any candidate, any politician that would go along to get along with an agenda that stifles our economy and would strip any of our freedoms. that are constitutionally protected. what is she talking about? anyway, scott hopster from connecticut took issue with christie calling him conservative. quoting with we re so frustrated with all this christie talk we can t see straight. he s no more conservative than harry reid. what do you think that means?
you know what i think it means? if you re not a wild tea partier who hates the government and wants to default on the debt and doesn t care about anything gets passed, votes against everything. if you re not one of them, then you re a liberal. you re a rhino. and if you don t dispute the legitimacy of barack obama and you re seening high fiving him and hugging him, that s things they can t forgive him for. michael s right. he is conservative. i think on economics he is. i said this last night. i m going to keep saying it. the way the media and people say who s a moderate, bob casey of pennsylvania, the great governor, was a liberal on every issue except he didn t think abortion should be legal. that was his portion. but they would call him a conservative democrat, the media. which was absurd. he wasn t a conservative. your thoughts about your party and the labeling, michael.
path to the legislature. also you have to realize republicans understand there s a consequence they ll pay with their base if this happens. for the marginal amount of improvement they make with hispanics, there are some of their home base it s going to stay home that are not going to support this. politically, isn t immigration reform, broadly speaking, a winner for the republican party? the republican i think it could be, especially if you listen to kathleen parker, who says, rhino hunting, a political sport, has become a suicide mission. there are so many rhinos wandering the barren plains that banded together they might even form a critical mass. maybe this is the thing that gets the rhino in a herd. that does sound like kenya a little bit. you have seen this transition a bit. one of the popular names after the election is obama changed the electorate. you ve seen a lot of republican analysts saying the electorate
made a real strategic blunder. the question is i m curious to know your thoughts on this. can they even excize that diseased limb? daily beast writes the rhino hunting in the national party has been disastrous in the northeast. the near total absence of elected republican federal representatives in new england is pretty is a pretty unmistakable sign of a brob. democrats now hold a massive majority of nonsouthern states. the gop has sort of isolated itself into these regions of the country where those kind of politics sell, which is to say tea party politics. there is a kind of soft de facto is hes eggs going on. i look back to positive years ago where after losing most of the last six presidential elections, the democratic party, some members, centrist members of the democratic party, joined
forest. what is interesting with mccain s statement, he s going after in a perbl way, and he s using it as a character witness against her. that s what you re starting to see, candidates trying to say after they have been rhino hunting and dyno hunting through the election year so far, theirver saying guess what, this candidate is too extreme, they re too partisan. it s opportunisopportunistic, bt work. john king, he has to worry about that because he is like the guy next door who you hit the ball in his backyard, he won t give it to you. a tea party with another candidate is causing some controversy. we ll be right back. where d you learn to do that so well.
