republican ideas being no good. he s also got to nationalize the midterms in 1994. that s the advice today. and the president has to ask for two more years to get the job done. can this president pull off a popularity comeback in the way bill clinton did? that s our top story. plus, house republicans unveil their pledge to america today and it could be the biggest cover-up since watergate. it showcases all the predictable soft sell proposals but goes radio silent on the more radical ideas of their parent. the wild stuff about changing the constitution. and make no mistake, the fringe on the right will have a strong voice if republicans win control of the congress. but there are a lot of races getting awfully tight out there. and the tight places that you wouldn t think would be close. have some simply reached their sell by date? also, what does it say when someone sitting in the office of a republican u.s. senator from georgia sends out a menacing, antigay dmoent the blog of
frontier? that s missile defense against icbns, the kinds the soviets have. not cruise missiles, other kinds of tact kl or medium range. because the missile defense system isn t aimed at russia. who else has icbms that would kill the united states. i am not just going to sit and cross my fingers and hope that iran does not get the technology to create a nuclear warhead and a missile system where they can deliver it. i think it s totally reasonable and rational that we would prepare for something like that, but there s no question that missile defense is not going to be at the core of what republican candidates are talking about. steve, you take over. they re talking about missile defense for the whole united states. all the home land. they re talking about the whole country, they re going to have missile defense for.
so, you may not like it and you may want to ascribe things that other people have said to what our party s going to run on, but that doesn t make it so. so now you ve got the argument, steve, which is supervision will be at hand. all the crazy stuff we ve heard for months now isn t going to happen. because according to todd what s your argument? going to keep all of these people in the playpen. no trouble from them. what s argument the democrats are going to be? it s funny because the democrats have been saying for a while the choice in this election is a choice for the future and the past. i think what the republicans have done now is they ve actually proven that case. they objected to it before, saying no, no, no, we re not going back to that. but now they are proving. they want to cut tax for rich, build the dang fence, build the antiballistic missile system. why that is needed is anyone s guess. and the tea party candidates are even more insidious and extreme. many of them wa
that s an odd one. you re not laughing, steve. here s what is hidden under the table. changing the 14th amendment to guarantee citizenship. it s not on the paper here. people come here to have babies. they come here to drop a child. it s called drop and leave. republicans are talking about actions that would shut down government if they take control of government. stage one. of the end of obamaism will be a new republican congress in january that simply refuses to fund any of the radical efforts. shut down. some talk about repealing the 17th amendment. they re also talking about privatizing social security, which is addressed in a number of places, but particularly in paul ryan s so-called road map to america s future. it seems to me that a lot of the nice stuff is on paper here, but
the stuff we re hearing at meetings, the more radical voices have been muffled here. one of the nice things about being in control of your party campaign apparatus is that you get to decide what you re going to run on and what you re not going to run on. you know, no democrat gets to decide that. no one in the media gets to decide what the republican message is going to be and clearly, what the leaders of our party have said is that this campaign is going to be about cutting spending, reducing the size of government, repealing and replacing obama care. so, you may not like it and you may want to ascribe things that others have said to what our party s going to run on, but that doesn t make it so. now you ve got the argument, steve, that supervision will be at hand. all the crazy stuff we ve heard isn t going to happen because according to todd what s your argument?
