we were finding people that were, in fact, citizens that were being purged. now they re using actual data. on another level, are you dealing with the civil liberties violation of those that might be in the data. so we have not taken a real position on this yet. some people look at this and think, okay, it s logical this is happening right now because we re in a presidential campaign. other people look at this and say, hold up, this is a presidential campaign, this is the sole reason it s happening. there s no question in my mind it s based on the election. first of all, we didn t see any of this even during the primaries for the republican party. i mean, they have voter i.d. laws they re trying in many states. they re doing things like voter purge, yet they for some strange reason didn t need government photo i.d. to vote in iowa where we ended up with the wrong winner for several days or any of the republican primaries. it seems strange that these republican legislators need all o
obviously it s not something mitt romney is practicing right now, but dealing with political innuendo, isn t that really difficult to do in a case like this if you re not going to go after mitt romney and you re saying that they have an obligation to own up to what his business dealings were really. if he did commit some type of s.e.c. fraud filings, who is going to go after him for that? why not deal with what are the facts of this, whether or not someone is going to go and search out whether or not he did perpetrate some type of fraud? well, that s part of the reason why we need to see his tax returns because we don t know, and it s why george romney, his father, set a resident, a rightful precedent, for subsequent candidates for president of the united states that and he even said at the time that releasing one year of tax returns, which is all that mitt romney has released in this campaign, is not enough because it could be an anomaly. it won t show, you know, the rest of the s
president has said in the past. both during his campaign for president in 2008, and in answer to a question at the end of 2010. i don t have an update for you. bret: so if it was planned, charles, no one told jay carney. what it is was, what was is, i wasn t sure how it worked. biden owes carney a big dinner several times over. this is something that the administration didn t need. it was obama had done this with every other, anything that requires modicum of courage, making decision oncostein, missile defenses with the ritions as we know from that unfortunate statement he made on mic he becomes flexible after election. all this sufficient is supposed to happen after the election day. anything that could pose a risk to losing six vote in any one state. he won t touch until election day. by accident prone as he is, he goes ahead and makes it almost
during the time she was serving as a domestic worker. do we have that image? we don t. but part of rosa parks story is a story of being violated by the white man in the household for whom she worked. i think part of what was so distressing about the movie is that aspect was so left out. exactly. all of the frameworks of exploitation, segregation are actually held external to the xpeenss of the women in this film. sot civil rights movement happens almost as a setpiece out of the narrative, out of the stage and what you get is this tight domestic focus as if that domestic space isn t a space of politics or isn t a space of change. or thinking about rosa parks history as part of a movement, the montgomery busboy cot wouldn t have worked if it hadn t work for the hundreds of thousands of domestic work hes who participated and yuch held that boycott who refused to ride the buses and who walked the streets to show that they were refusing to ride. and didn t need and there were white
financial rules can play more one-on-one. they don t have to give to the larger structures they have in the past. they can pick and choose their candidates. they re waiting to see. the interesting part of that is that those candidates really don t need that cash right now. because of the way the system is designed with the kind of media attention they re getting, they re staying in the front of the field in terms of the voters image of them and people seeing them in a way that allows them to compete. pawlenty getting out was the craziest thing in the world. he should ve stayed in the race. if he stayed in, he probably would have been the settled on candidate. because he felt he had no money, which he didn t really need. didn t need. john heilemann, why is it? money still is the mother s milk of american politics, why is everybody dried out? well, i think there s been the donor class wants to be with the winner. they want to be with the strong candidate. and they ve had the same at
