course includes the hard-working middle class, and we're going to shout that message and let people know who wayne powell is and at the same time we're going to hit eric cantor right in the month. [ laughter ] >> mudcat talks tough. that's what i like about him. wayne powell was a colonel in the military right? >> he is a retired military intelligence officer in the army. the great thing about him, i think is his blue collar upbringing. he understands what we face right now. he understands that everybody in america knows we have a coin-operated government and he wants to do something about it. he is a patriot from the word go. he was raised in a shadow on churchill and richmond which then was a very very blue

collar neighborhood in the shadow of st. john's church. and he's a true patriot. on the other hand, you know, cantor's people have been on us because we questioned their patriotism. of course we are going to question that. here is a guy who bet against the united states of america by shorting u.s. treasury bills. i mean, give me a bake. he has a d rating from the iraq and afghanistan veteran's administration. he voted against the new gi bill who lets these heroes at least have a shot at the american dream. and then the bank bailout. he was the first one to step up and say we have got to bail out his big banks, and then he gutted the most important portion of it, was they had to

lend the money back to individuals and small businesses, and he gutted that part. and now the big banks are even too bigger to fail. >> and he just been sort of the face of this obstructionism and arrogance. and they are going to do this again on the bush tax cuts aren't they? >> they send out an e-blast last week, and all they talked about is how he is the most anti-barack obama person in america. yes, we're in a red district it's plus-12 republicans in that direct, but it's virginia red. and what that means is that -- virginia red was proven when mark warner got 60% of the vote in this district in 2008 running as a democrat.

and that proves that virginia red will vote read white and blue before it votes red. >> yeah. >> this is about the country. we're starting a battle out here they hope will resinate all over america. we're getting great help from you, and the media is talking about it. ed schultz going after it last night against sheldon adelson. and the battle is here in virginia. >> as a woman, i think you have gotten some help from bob mcdonald there. he really has overreached with the -- when your nickname is transvaginal bob around the country, you know the war on women is real. >> of course it is real and i call him sodomy bob over something he said years ago. he had this bill in when he was in the legislature that said that before you get -- become a

it. but he is never here. the district believes -- he has a 37% approval rating in the district. to you have a 41% recollect and 43% replace. but at the same token, he has got all of the money in the world, and he will be rolling some big rocks down the hill on us. and we can't throw pebbles back up. and everybody needs to go to cancantor.com. and if you are tired of the government, hell, let's fight the guy. democrats -- it's wonderful to hear from so many democrats all over, you know, the country and especially californians -- i mean the people from california responded and a lot -- a great deal of that is because of you that don't want this coin-operated government that we have got. >> you and i both loved the
