i think the guy needs to respect the will of the voters. the election wasn t even that close. i think he needs to take personal responsibility for his campaign. take personal responsibility for the words he said. and move forward. a good start would be to go back to some of those towns that bain capital shipped jobs, plant, freeport, illinois. start a business, hire some people. create a product. build something in america. do something other than vulture capitalism. do something for america other than make another million dollars for himself. i would have a lot of respect for him if he went forward in that way, and i hope would he. but time will tell what he does with his life. next, scott prouty will tell you about the specific moment he decided to expose the real mitt romney to the world. stay with us. [ mom ] with my little girl, every food is finger food.
what scott did was charlie, in advocating for workers and telling the story for workers, he calls you a hero. charlie has done this for about 20 years and hasn t gotten the attention. we put glory and attention on a lot of people for a lot of silly things. and there s not a lot of money to made for what charlie does. he stands up for people over there that can t stand up for themselves. they don t have a voice. they are not allowed by their communist governments that don t have a voice. he is standing up for them and that s important. to hear them say those things about me, it s you know, i don t think, coming from him, it is an honor. he s been doing this work and hasn t gotten the credit that he deserves. and like i said before, i m
the whole conversation of the campaign was now unfolding in front of your eyes. everything you thought of romney was now on tape. did you know it was the game-changer? absolutely. yeah. i personally felt frightened for anonymous. i didn t know his name or her name. but i was quite scared that they are going to come after this guy. and who is they ? well, many of the people who were out at this meeting. and you know, the right wing, extreme right wing. i still think there is great risk here. but when it first came out, my first thought was, god, what s going to happen to this guy. you know, if there is any way we can help, we have to help. we have to take care of each other. watch each other s backs. did you tell him what his world was going to be like? i think scott s incredibly
0 a rare moment when the armies of reaction are bunkered in one place. things that stand in the way of the world being the way we want them to be are all there. the obstacles it progress, all in one defined geographic area, one convention center. but thing is, the obstacles for progress really have two different component. there are the ideal og of people showing up at cpac and people organized at cpac then the interests, who unlike donald trump for example don t want you to know who they are. aren t looking to find free booze while stocking around adams morgan at 11:00 p.m. on friday night. they just want to keep running things the way they ve been running them. and while cpac was going on today a few miles away, we saw a window into what it looks like when those interests, ones outside of the spotlight, ones not in front of the cameras, when they get to do what they want to do. this is iena drew, former chief investment officers for j.p. morgan chase, testifying before the united sta
0 republican party was perfectly summed up by a musical choice used at cpac today after a lunchtime panel discussion, specifically the song some nights by fun. please ignore the shaky camera. what do i stand for? once again, the lyrics to that song, oh, lord, i m still not sure what i stand for, what do i stand for? what do i stand for? most nights i don t know any more. today a long list of conservatives tried to answer that question for the party. the problem is they all had different answers. senate minority leader mitch mcconnell made a strong argument for the status quo. as conservatives, we should never be on defense about our principles or our priorities. don t let anybody tell you that democrats have the upper hand on the issues. i don t care what the polls say. senator mcconnell also took a shot at the democrats chances of keeping the white house in 2016. don t tell me democrats are the party of the future when their presidential ticket for 2016 is shaping up to l
