stimulus money. so if the stimulus was so terrible why is he giving is speech like that in a place like this. they re all hypocrites on the republican side regarding the stimulus. joe biden confronted ryan with the fact he d written letters had questioning stimulus money. very few of the governors turned any stimulus money down. if it wasn t haftion any effect, if it was useless and terrible as they all say on the campaign, why did they take the money, right? but it s only one of many hypocrisies we ve seen this year and i m not really all that surprised. a big flagrant when they go down hypocrisy road and think it will just be those of us on msnbc who will care. lilana, do you think latino voters will be persuaded by this kind of hypocrisy and double-headedness? because if you look at the swing state polls, they show huge
close for a long time, and i think what this reflects is the bitterness that mccain feels from 2008 when, to his great dismay and surprise, colin powell endorsed barack obama. indeed. lilana, we ve talked about the latino vote in of two crucial states but mitt romney has an ace up heiss sleeve when it comes to winning votes across the widest demographic spectrum. take a listen. america god shed his grace on me and crown thy good meatloaf who appears to be between a psychiatric breakdown and a spiritual epiphany, will that swing voters, that kind of performance? i have no comment. there are taste and things out there for everybody.
we should not be surprised by this. we swrus need to see the republican party sometimes for what it is. i think one of the problems here and lilana kind of hit on this. historically in the past few years, the republicans have been successful about couching their positions in terms of life in culture of life and now, we re getting this very graphic imagery of rape and it s a different terrain to try to fight on. i wanted to add on that, which is tricky for republicans who want to stick to conservative values, and i think what gets difficult when it comes to abortion or women s issue has to do with a pro-life, pro-choice type of argument. i don t think either side will ever be able to convince the other otherwise because there s such moral, deep, religious type issues that the party feels pride about that i think we need to move the conversation to how can we prevent unwanted pregnancies and encourage better education and access to women to better economical futures, so
