let me bring in rhonda taylor. rhonda, good to have you with us tonight. the no-vo movement is now into the thousands. you tells that you this would be the worst thing to do? what s your reaction as a 99er about not being involved and not engaging in this political season? i think it would be very hypocriical to ask our government to work on our behalf, but not vote. vote is the number one thing that we have in america and that s one thing they can t take away from me. and that s what i will keep. i will vote. but i will be a very educated voter and i will pay attention. to who s doing right by us. has your situation changed your political thinking at all? this is what the no-voers are saying. they feel disenfranchised, left behind, they want somebody to pay for it, what do you say? i do feel left behind, however the republicans side has offered me nothing but insults and the word, no.
dollars over the next ten years? yeah, and look, there is so much preventive health care, there s so many preventive health care measures in this bill, in this new law, so many things that will help people stay healthy, cutting costs. it keeps people home instead of in an expensive hospital. it means you get a mother with a child with an ear infection can go to a family doctor instead of waiting until the ear infection gets works going to an emergency room costing everybody more money. yeah. and perhaps costing the child her hearing. i mean, all of those kinds of things are the the whole thrust of this bill was in that direction. all right, senator, here s the uphill battle, the most recent polling that is out there shows that most americans, number one, don t understand this bill, they don t know what s in it, but they also think that they re will you be taxed more as a result of the health care reform? and 52% are of the american people according to aassociated press poll
that it was there in 1994 and i think that it was very helpful when republicans put out a game plan of what they were going to do. it s good for two reasons. a, it tells the vote, that you have a positive plan. and, b, it gives you a game plan once you take over and it gives you a chance to organize yourselves and have goals to pass when you re there. and i think that the unique thing about this pledge is that the republicans actually spent some time listening to what the american people wanted with their american speak out website. and they ve got the input. so i think that they feel very comfortable with where they re going with their agenda and their agenda makes sense. people do want spending to be cut. they want they don t want their taxes to go up. sure. and they want us to take a serious look at this health care laul. what do you think, bill. i want to remind john newt s famous contract with america. ten planks in it, not one the ten were adopted. buyer beware. buyer b
with us tonight. it s all any china and the competition, no doubt. final pages in the playbook tonight, paladino who sent out something stinks in albany garbage mailers is dangerously close to catching andrew cuomo. a new poll shows paladino just six points behind, independent mayor, of course mayor bloomberg getting a little bit nervous here? he endorsed mr. cuomo earlier today. rahm might be packing his bags earlier than expected, speculation of emanuel s run for the mayor of campaign manager is heating up and sources tell nbc news that he may step down as soon as october, when asked about it today press secretary robert gibbs says he s not going to rule anything in or anything out. i think that sounds very encouraging that rahm would be leaving. and finally michael vick will get the starting call this weekend at quarterback for the philadelphia eagles.
nothing in there about job creation, nothing in there about saving social security, nothing in there about public education. those are the four main points in the pledge to america. senator, you get the first shot at it. well, and then the next level down is the effort by a lot of the tea party groups, the club for growth and others to begin more privatization, senator the senate candidate running against the candidate in colorado last name is buck wants to privatize the va. candidates like 2 million pennsylvania, portman, ohio, kirk in illinois, telling their candidates to come out for prioritization of social security. and these guys clearly are out of touch. they really want to complete the bush agenda and you know what will happen, if they have a chance in enacting more of the bush agenda. we go right back to high unemployment, they want to deregulate wall street, again. i mean they were against the wall street consumer issues. all of the wall street reforms. they don t like
