>> absolutely. >> caller: i think that this is -- it is crazy that this keeps happening to the republican party. can you imagine if this had happened two times in a row to the democratic party convention? they would be the evangelical nuts would be screaming the wrath of god on the democratic party. >> stephanie: karl, ironically, i think we posted this. in "the charlotte observer," i believe, there is a great piece by a conservative liberal coming to the same conclusion. a lot of us have. this is just not -- they don't recognize this version of the republican party. there aren't two sides to what's been happening in washington. by the way jim romney defended the birther line by saying the crowd loved it. you know who else gave speeches to really big crowds? >> stop it.

something -- i'll watch some kind of porn. it will be the same thing. >> hostile two is on. >> hostile three which is torture on many levels. >> exactly. >> stephanie: you have to chime in on mitt romney -- mitt romney blowing the birther dog whistle this weekend or paul ryan saying the form of conception, he called rape another form of conception. where would you like to start? >> let's go with the birther thing. >> all right. >> because you know what i love most about that line is it was scripted. it wasn't an off-the-cuff kind of moment. it was actually scripted in his teleprompter so yeah, apparently if you're a democrat, you must be crazy or -- or, or, or, you must be some kind of minority. there is a bad word i would like to use as to what they're trying to turn democrats into but i'll

do that on the blog later today. >> stephanie: okay, good. what it is though, i think it is not -- we were talking about there are seven birthers literally speaking at the convention. so there is some difference anymore between the lunatic fringe and the republican party. >> once you invite the crazies in, you have to let them have their say. that's the thing about crazies you're not going to shut them up. you may as well let them talk until they're tired although i don't think that's possible for trump, is it? >> stephanie: this is the problem. what paul ryan -- again, was it a slip? the problem is with their akin problem is it is enshrined in their party platform. it is what they believe. >> right. and if we've got paul ryan out there saying -- even -- to even put into words of calling rape a type of conception or to say -- i guess what he said was it doesn't matter how the child -- how the fetus was conceived. and so that means that any way possible could be conception. that goes for any age too.

that's the thing that people don't take this to its fullest extent, you know. that means that children who are raped and get pregnant is -- there's no exception for them. it just keeps creepier and creepier the more you dig down. >> stephanie: i said this last week. it looks like already the polls are bearing it out at least in missouri. it looks like claire mccaskill is up nine. i was going to say not stunningly. his support of course has plummeted with women. that's what i was saying last week. this is resonating among women as far as i can tell like nothing ever has. i think that's going to carry over into the general don't you? >> right. because once again, this is one of those things that they have been putting in their platforms for the last few elections. but it is just sort of flown under the radar for most people. i mean certainly there are activists and people engaged in the issue that knew it and tried to sound the alarm but the akin thing was just so awful. it finally brought it out into

the open and the sad part is the only thing that romney is left saying is well, of course what he said was awful rape is rape. but that's not exactly what we're most mad about. >> stephanie: yeah. this new poll, chris, out of missouri maccass kill new found lead with a gender gap. massive lead among women voters. a month ago, she had a one-point edge. yesterday was just more of it. to me, what ryan said was even worse. it matters to the woman that was raped what the form of conception was right? >> oh, yeah, yeah. you know what's interesting this is going to sound weird. i actually know someone who is a child from a rape. and you know how they like to talk about how people on the right like to talk about how abortion drives women into depression and you know, it really affects their mental

health? this woman's mother has been in mental institutions ever since -- is horrible. it is horrible. the guilt she carries around is awful. that's not to say she's not a great, good person but it damages everybody. >> stephanie: yeah. i mean, rude, i had a friend back when i lived in new york and she was i believe in her 60s and was raped as a 17-year-old girl and i mean when she would talk about it, it was like it happened yesterday. it is that -- so, i hear you. >> the thing is that help cans talk about these things in theory. your caller before who said what are you going to do once the children are born? that the right and evangelicals tend to abandon the children once they're not -- once they can't be taken care of by an um umbilical cord. but this is reality. there's real bodies involved

here. this isn't just some theory that extends out from your dogma. >> stephanie: talk to us about your posting no mitt romney and paul ryan won't tell you a [ bleep ] thing. that appears to be the case, doesn't it? >> because every time somebody pushes them on specifics for a plan, they clam up. they are like huh details. we'll work out those later. >> don't you worry your pretty little head about it. >> exactly. it happened yesterday when romney was being interviewed by chris matthews. not chris matthews. oh, how i wish! >> fox news. >> yeah, the other chris. >> wallace. >> mike wallace's vestigial tail. >> oh, gosh, that's awesome. >> stephanie: nicely done, sir. [ applause ] go ahead. >> wallace was pushing him on okay, give us some specifics about how -- what would you

would do with medicare. romney says you're trying to make me talk about my entire plan. and it is as if -- as you said, they're saying it is too much for you. you can't take it all in. >> stephanie: like their taxes. you people have seen all you need to see. >> right. >> stephanie: and then -- you were talking about cnn. one cnn commentator lost his mind over akin? what's that about? >> that was eric erickson. >> stephanie: yes. >> yes. who, when he's on cnn just is sort of this, you know, blob of evil that is sitting there. >> stephanie: i think the chiron says that. >> that's his profession. blob of evil. on his blog though, red state he actually just goes crazy sometimes. says things that -- well bloggers will say. >> right. >> so he went on this tear about how the akin thing actually is

not that bad and we really need to back akin -- this is before the whole crap storm started going. and so he said we need to back him because he's somebody who believes what we believe about rape and abortion. then you threw in there people who back obama back somebody who supported infant side bringing up this thing from a bill in the illinois legislature that -- something that has been disproven over and over and over again. >> stephanie: yep. i know. >> they don't let it go. >> stephanie: isn't it amazing. it's like burping up something really bad. like you're going oh, that again? really, that's all they've got. stuff that was debunked in the last obama campaign. >> to go even further with that, erickson then brings up chappaquiddick. as if the corporate kennedy matters right now. and again, it is one of those

things. is that really all you got in history here? >> stephanie: right. you know, i don't know if it was l.a. or "new york times," did you see the piece about what's wrong with cnn. that's what's wrong with cnn. in an effort to be fair and balanced, they have crazies on the right. >> right. >> they do not have legitimate points and i think -- we posted the thing didn't we? >> we did. on the facebook page. >> stephanie: this version of the republican party there's not two sides. it is like this birther -- not birther. the obama 2016 -- i can't say his name. >> stephanie: it is doing really good business. there is a lot of obama derangement syndrome. >> number six out of all movies. >> stephanie: based on barely any facts but there are people who just want to hate obama. they want to believe anything bad, right? >> right. and they're going to. no matter what. that's exactly who romney is going for now. you know. it is now -- let me remind you

that you actually viscerally hate this man. so don't worry about all of the stuff i'm actually going to do. just worry about voting for your hatred. >> line producer with skeeter. >> stephanie: skeeter pack. >> i have to admit a moment of -- i guess it is thinly veiled racism. because when you were saying who produced that movie. i was thinking -- >> stephanie: obviously you live in new york. great piece on the empire state shooting. today the unending mass shooting, the long hot summer of murder going out with a bang right near the empire state building. how disgusting we must look to other countries cowering behind guns like inarticulate bitches. what's a shocking anomaly is par for the course. the prize for imprisoning freedom of gun ownership.

that really -- that's the -- i think the real shame of all of this, rude. it becomes like another news day. >> it is. and we forget about things. we've already forgotten about the right wing nuts in louisiana that gunned down some sheriff's deputies down there in louisiana. >> they felt threatened by them. >> they had actually gone to their house to check things out you know. oh no. when the conservative right-wingers get stopped and frisked, this is what happens. >> stephanie: scott in ithaca wrote, i thought -- you guys made really good points about the impair state shooting. friday's shooting at the empire state building proved flat out wrong the gun lovers who say if anyone had guns, these events wouldn't be as bad. in an a. p. shooting, all nine were hit by police bullets. police are trained to keep shooting multiple times since one in five shots will hit the gunmen. these officers fired 16 shots six or seven feet at a way on a

clear target and missed him nine times injuring nine bystanders. police did what they had to do but since professionally trained marksmen can miss their mark more than 50% of the time, why should everyone be carrying if 15 people opened fire on the colorado shooter whoever they thought was wearing the armor would take him down without causing damage. >> we have no control over how well those people would have been trained. >> i'm sure every one of them would say i can do better than that. i'm shooting at tin cans and targets of black people, i do just fine. >> that's why i have a 1,000 round clip. >> stephanie: oh, rude. >> as i told somebody, somebody after hearing about this well, it's good to know the nypd will use too much force against angry white guy. >> stephanie: i suppose that's progress. rudeness, great stuff as always. talk to you next week, honey. >> all right bye. >> stephanie: there he goes, the rude pundit.

campaign, while they didn't talk about it with reporters on a logistics call yesterday is definitely considering within the camp itself. but if convention plans do move forward as expected, as they have been rescheduled the obama campaign is well prepared with counter messaging that calls out mitt romney for trying to reinvent himself at this late stage in the game. >> on august 30th, mitt romney stars in the do-over. critics have called this previous work wildly misleading. four pinocchios. fants on -- pants on fire. rated n for not gonna work. >> i like that one. a new "washington post" abc news poll out today shows the two candidates statistically tied. it does have the president up by double digits on three key points. social issues, women's issues and likability. he's got a 34-point lead over mitt romney in likability at this point. we're back with more steph after

it has had time to sink in if that isn't why is there a discrepancy. i get the theory that was intentional to keep akin in the race. i wonder if it wasn't -- i think they came out with a statement saying it wasn't rigged in any way. who knows. but i do think that maybe it is now that the news has circulated. >> stephanie: right. akin -- dropping to and an eemic 17%. he had a meteor collapse while 56% unfavorable. the pressure will only increase for him to get out. >> but then what happens? they have to go through all of these procedures. there is a penalty he has to pay. it is not as easy as it was had he dropped out immediately. i don't know what they do at this point. mccaskill has a real advantage and they think they're going to feel like the weight of the senate -- in his hands at this point, the loss of the senate is in his hands. it is going to be really difficult for them. >> stephanie: but now not only does paul ryan, cosponsored now

he just made it worse where this comment this weekend. it is just -- it is like you can't script this stuff right? >> well, yeah. the democratic congressional campaign committee is tying again to house republicans and a handful of races across the country and i think that's very easy to do. this is not -- this is not one guy making one rogue comment. this is a man who fundamentally believes a in science this crazy nonscientific theory that we have little warriors that live inside our private parts -- >> stephanie: you don't?

[ ♪ "world news tonight" ♪ ] have you seen the think progress study. seniors will pay $60,000 more for medicare under the romney ryan plan. premium support. which again sounds like kotex with wings. they just did a study. it can increase costs by $60,000 in 2023 according to a new report. they would have to pay more for physician services should they repeal affordable care. facing an increase in spending of between $7,8900 a year and $18,600 over the course of their retirement. this is what you've been saying. somebody has crunched the numbers now. >> because there's nothing that seniors have more than just disposable income. they can throw away on medical expenses. especially in this economy. they're just rolling in dough they want to spend on drugs and preventive care. that's the part if you roll back the savings and all of the preventive wellness exams that seniors are getting now without co-pays and deductibles they've lowered the cost of prescription

drugs, closing the doughnut hole. you roll that back. you're automatically taking money out of the pocket of seniors. just immediately. and then on top of that, we all know at this point the voucher is not worth the money -- the paper it is going to be printed on. so that right there ends up elevating costs for seniors and all we're doing is saving money for the insurance companies. >> stephanie: think progress made a couple of points, you've made on the show before, you can't say it enough. it will -- just what's wrong. >> yes, you can. >> stephanie: but they point out private insurers would cherry pick the healthiest beneficiaries, the existing private plans ensures medicare advantage have long attracted the healthiest enrollees without robust regulations private insurers will have attempted to ramp up benefits for healthier seniors, preventive services while playing down the care that sicker beneficiaries rely on stuff like that. if healthier applicants leave for traditional medicare will increase. >> it is the same thing that's

happened in the insurance market for everybody else for as long as we can remember. that's -- we protected our seniors because as you get older, healthcare gets more expensive. it is just obvious and logical. when people get older they have more healthcare concerns. we created medicare so seniors wouldn't go into bankruptcy as they get older. it is a logical way of taking care of each other. if you throw senior citizens back into the regular insurance pool which is essentially what this would do, you end up having people with healthcare costs that they can't afford. we already know we bankrupt families one every 30 seconds of people who go into medical debt because of healthcare costs they can't afford. it will be something that's devastating to our nation's seniors. last thing we need as we try to rebuild our economy. >> stephanie: it is so important to explain is that they're trying to do what they've always wanted to do. privatize it. if they could, they would

privatize social security and medicare. that's what would eventually happen. >> they call it entitlement because it makes it sound bad. like entitlement sounds like you're getting something you haven't paid into or something that you voo earned. -- haven't earned. it sounds like you're a fancy person who's getting something. >> it sounds like you're mitt romney. >> stephanie: but think progress, last point is medicare will yield fewer savings as some enter into private coverage. medicare's market share will fall. neither medicare or private insurer would have sufficient market share to negotiate provider prices low. that's their point. it doesn't work. we need to privatize the whole thing. >> they've always been against medicare. there is a party that's always been against medicare. now all of a sudden the party that's against medicare wants to save it. it is not practical or logical. i don't understand -- i guess i do -- why so many people are buying it because all of a sudden they have this incredible

had demanded unified resistance. the way it was characterized was for the next three years, we can't let you succeed in anything. that's our ticket to coming back. the vice president said he hasn't told obama who his sources were but specter had confirmed they had conversations with biden along those lines. anyway, read the thing we posted, "the charlotte observer." it was a piece by a conservative and a liberal. just talking about how truly unprecedented this republican party is. >> you have to scroll down past the shirtless pictures. you'll get to it. >> stephanie: sure, uh-huh. >> facebook page. >> stephanie: billy bob in kentucky. you're on "the stephanie miller show." hi bill. >> caller: hi. >> stephanie: go ahead. >> caller: yeah, my question for you is why is obama still got this war on coal? >> stephanie: oh, boy. >> caller: it is just crazy. >> stephanie: he doesn't have a war on coal. he has said many times he's for all of the above in terms of energy. >> caller: no, he is not. he's trying to kill the coal

for sure. i don't think that's going to have an impact in this election though. >> this is going to be a close election. but long-term conservative principles, if they're to be successful and implemented there has to be a concerted effort to reach out to much broader audience than we do today. >> like women for example? >> sure. >> hispanics. >> stephanie: yes. >> people making less than a gazillion dollars a year. >> stephanie: you're on "the stephanie miller show." welcome. >> caller: yes, i would like to make a couple of points. one, i would rather have a beer with obama due to the fact that romney is not allowed to imbiden and another one is that ex-communication is a punishment for women divorced in the mormon faith. they denounce women and families who feel like spousal abuse has gone too far. there are plenty of problems that people don't get along but the religion condemns them for parting and another thing is all of the variety of women issues, i swear it is drumming up for a

million women march. >> stephanie: i can't believe you just said. i just threw that idea out to a bunch of -- some powerful chicks i know, let's just say. i really do think we're at a perfect storm, a tipping point whatever you want to call it with this war on women don't you? >> caller: i absolutely do believe. as a single mom, i feel that as my -- i have a daughter and i just feel like all of these points are pushing toward one thing. we know what's best for you. you need to sit down, be barefoot and in the kitchen and what every -- what your husband thinks is right, you don't need to think anything else. that's not against men but there is a population of men who think that's right and i think that there's population of women that could get out there and say you know, we are a powerful unit of human beings who deserve the rights and civility of everybody on this planet. >> stephanie: i can't tell you how many women i've heard from that echo the same thing. i feel like i woke up in saudi arabia and in 1952. i'm down with the million women

she didn't have to worry about paying for it. some of us, for instance, myself, i have lupus and i have a blood disorder called itp discovered when i was 4 months pregnant with my little girl and because of that, she was born premature. and she's 18 now and she's just like a 2-month-old baby. i'm still sick with itp and lupus. i'm taking care of her. i have nobody. i can't hire a maid to come in. she might have been sick with ms but she didn't have to clean her house or cook. her kids were probably grown and gone but you know, i just don't feel sorry for her. she wanted sympathy. it acted like they wanted sympathy. they got none from me. to top things off in 2002, the meat packing plant my husband was working in closed down so we lost our health insurance. so you want to cry ann i got something for you to cry about. >> stephanie: all right. gladys, thank you for that. >> not diminishing her ms. >> stephanie: of course not.

>> she has more means to cope with it than the average person like gladys. >> stephanie: she said yesterday she said i love tithing. when mitt and i give that check i actually cry. mitt says so do i but for a different reason. mitt cries when he has to write a check. >> i have to write a check? my beautiful billions. they're trickling away. >> stephanie: they actually asked him do you cry? do you cry governor? he said i'm emotional. i don't show it quite as clearly as john boehner. he got a little shot in on the boehner. >> not too many people like the boehner. >> stephanie: i'm not quite as blubbery as the boehner. right back on "the stephanie miller show."

businesswoman. >> right. >> and you paid into those entitlements. >> yes i paid dearly. i was a single mom. raised by myself, into college. and the problem was that because i put in so little into the system because my attitude was let me get the kids through college because i had made them a deal you do the work, you keep the grades up, i promise you will get -- i will keep you in there. and they did. they were dean's list every time. >> stephanie: yes. >> caller: fortunately. so anyway, the thing is that because i put so little into the system thinking that once they're out of school, that i could really hammer and put everything that should be in the system for my old age. >> stephanie: right. >> caller: never, ever thinking at the age of 42, 45, i was going to be disabled for the rest of my life. >> stephanie: well that's the thing. that's exactly why we have medicare and medicaid because
