we have been reporting on rush limbaugh s comments about the georgetown law student. is it all catching up? are we seeing a backlash on the stance on women s issues? absolutely. i m not saying they can t get it back, but i think the rush limbaugh debacle last week was incredibly damaging to the party. president obama kept it on the front page by calling the young woman. so they have some issues here. as we all know, elections are actually really decided by 12% of the population. and those 12% are swing voters and independents. they tend to be more moderate on social issues. they do not want to be mired in this debate on contraception. john, what does the party need to do to attract voters as opposed to repel them? they should stop talking about contraception. i agree with lois on that. one thing that s clear is rush limbaugh doesn t speak for the republican party. he certainly doesn t speak for
works. there is how the birth control pill works. it s iud work, morning after pill work, the ring thing your girlfriend told you about you didn t understand, this is how that works. this is how birth control that is used by the vast majority of american women works. this is how birth control works that mitt romney told mike huckabee he would like to make illegal. when he said he supports a life begins at conception constitutional amendment. that what is we tried to explain with the man cave diagram, right? way back in the day. mitt romney doesn t understand what contraception is and he s running for president. rush limbaugh doesn t understand what it is and he is reveling about the nation being outraged. president obama, he made national news by calling the woman rush limbaugh has been calling a slut and prostitution, calling that woman before she went on andrea mitchell thereby weighing in the dispute. does president obama understand
happen. if it wasn t for the wisconsin 14, those senators who drew attention to the injustice of walker s legislation last winter, we might not be here tonight. i spoke with three of the wisconsin state democrats today. three senators have been on the forefront of this fight to recall walker, chris larson, kathleen winehout and fred, they have seen a lot of things happen. chris, what does it mean to have this number of signatures. if you look at what happened in california, far beyond what they did with gray davis you re at 24, 25% of the electorate, what does it mean? it s huge. they had twice as long in california. this is history in the making. you have a million people from all different parts of the state, stepping up to say they want to see a governor, a new governor who will bring the state together. this guy is dividing us. that is what this says. this is history. kathleen, this goes beyond the wisconsin borders, doesn t it?
kathleen, this goes beyond the wisconsin borders, doesn t it? what is the message here in. people around the state and country have been worried about citizens unite and what happens when you put money in politics. what we re seeing here in wisconsin is something proving to be far more powerful than money and that is the power of the people. this is a real grassroots effort, ed. all across the state we have seen the rural people, urban people, the suburban people pull together and say we re going to take our government back. they are after workers in the middle class they should balance the budget on the backs of these people, is this a stop gap situation? people are looking at what is happening all across the country and they are saying this is not just about workers rights. this is about what we want our country to be. what we want it to look like. senator, you four generations of of your family represented wisconsinites. this is a big moment.
you were going to do, what you said you were going to do is working, and that s the last thin the left can tolerate. they can t tolerate this kind of success. it disproves every belief of their s. i went back and checked, the story was from december 14th, the signatures of mickey mouse and adolf hitler will be counted on recall petitions targeting you as long as they are properly dated and include a wisconsin address. once again, rush limbaugh doesn t know his ass from third base, he has not been in wisconsin covering the story. all he is doing is reciprocal pick up of the story, hasn t talked to one person from wisconsin about this. it s kind of funny. limbaugh has tried to smear the recall effort, but over a million signatures are going to prove him wrong. now, i met with julie wells today. this is a great story. this lady is a forklift operator, hard-working wage
