yorker, the great bet or grand bet that in the spring and summer they could run negative personal advertising against romney and disqualify him he d never recover from they turned out to be right. romney s campaign did not answer, i think is clearly a mistake. but i m not being critical of romney. he did a lot more right than wrong, but the fact of the matter is at the end of the day, he didn t run on his record, he didn t even try to run on his record. he ran on mitt romney s a bad person. jeff greenfeld negative campaigning which has been around forever or this weird fear you must play to a base that is backed up by extreme forces in the media, that ultimately can t win? i think, when governor barbour says romney didn t run on his record, the irony is he couldn t have won the nomination running on his record because his record governor of massachusetts was centrist
latest proposal from john boehner. the president and the democrats are focused on revenue and they are determined to make sure that the top tax rates go up. unfortunately, the speak er proposal right now is still out of balance. he talks, for example, about $800 billion worth of revenues, but he says he s going to do that by lowering rates. when you look at the math, it doesn t work. harry reid wasted no time explaining why the boehner proposal is not serious. math. you can t get from here to there unless you raise the rates. that s why romney couldn t explain it during the presidential election. no one can explain it because you can t do it. jay carney says the speaker s plans raises more questions than answers. we don t know who pays. we don t know what we re talking about in terms of actual legislation to increase
weak candidate. bill: why do you say that? he couldn t connect with voters. i voted for mitt rom nee. i think a lot of women are also generally on welfare programs as well and president obama has had this huge a lot of welfare spending and it s a lot of hard to get off the candy. it s obama giving you candy you don t want to vote for the person is not. i m i think don t it s fair to say single women are mostly on welfare but they overwhelmingly voted for ob yaum yachl i m not sure why they did. is there a war on women? do you buy that war on women thing? i don t like that phrase war on women. it implies women are victim buzz that is an overly sim pliftic analysis of why obama got the women to vote. bill: give me reason they did. go. because obama supports issues that matter to single women. period.
and say america has changed. you can t demonize the new folks in america and make them out to be america s problems and say just because these folks didn t vote for romney. in fact, people said romney shares their values. this is across the board. but they said obama cares about people like me. bill: what i would say to you is i don t think 71% of hispanics are secular progressives, would you agree with that. no. that s what i was coming to you say next when you look at catholics, hispanics strongly catholics. these are patriots. they love america. they believe in hard work. bill: romney couldn t put it in vivid terms so they would respond to that. what he put in vivid terms. i don t like you. you guys get out of here. bill: the self-deport thing is what did it. mary katharine, you say? i think you are on target on a bunch of those. we have reached a turning point of sorts. that doesn t mean that folks who believe what romney believes or believes in general to the right of
zealots up there, and depen densey, big government programs, you couldn t say this is the pro-family party. of course you do. you can say that. if you want to parade kids, romney has 42 of them. and i m saying the message put forth by planned parenthood now was an antifamily message. it s not true. this is true. abortion on demand? nobody said that no. bill: yes, they did. they said you shouldn t get into things like requiring invasive procedures before a woman is allow to have had an abortion. in this election, more than half of americans said abortion should be legal. then coming to something like marijuana a minute ago saying, listen. what do you say about alcohol?
