9:00 pm
the spin stops right here because we are looking out for you. >> this election isn't just about all that we've accomplished these past couple of years. this election is about all that we have left to do. >> there are a lot of disappointed people here who voted for president obama. >> president obama promised change. >> many of us came in to this expecting to see the change happen all at once. >> washington doesn't feel like it has changed. >> the strategic framework is set. >> i hear folks on the other side say they want to take our country back. you know what, we don't need to go backwards. >> the president: we are moving in the right direction. >> this is a very different
9:01 pm
election. >> there are outside groups on the republican side that are largely supplanting the role of the national party. >> for the first time my conservative message is resonating like you can't imagine. >> if republicans have a good day november 2nd, it is gonna be because the american people want to go back to limited government, fiscal responsibility. >> sean: with less than three weeks before the midterm elects all eyes are on california. that's thanks to a cell phone conversation in which an aide to jerry brown can be heard referring to republican candidate meg whitman as a whore. sparks flew at the recent debate when brokaw asked brown about the incident. >> we've heard no outrage from you about the use of that kind of language, which to many women is the same as calling an an african-american the n-word. have you been in charge of the investigation in the campaign to find out who was
9:02 pm
responsible with that phrase? >> i don't agree that comparison, number one. number two, this was a private conversation picked up on a cell phone with a garbled transmission, hard to detect who it is. the campaign apologized promptly. >> not just me the people of california deserve better than slurs and personal attacks. that's not what california is about. it is not our better service. >> sean: brown's so-called apology did not go far enough with one group who previously backed him. n.o.w.. terry o'neil says this is hate speech that carries negative connotations associated with women it has no place in contemporary society. calls to fire any member of his staff who uses the word or any hate speech against women. not everyone got the memo including n.o.w.'s president. when asked in an interview today if meg whitman could be
9:03 pm
described as a political whore? replayed yes, that's an accurate statement. we have sandra smith and andrea canteros wow. one of the worst answers in the history of politics. >> jerry brown is a walking shovel-ready project. >> the national organization of women were endorsing him. all he had to do is step up and start with an affirmation of the apology. he started out by defending we couldn't understand the word. the worst most least convincing argument i've heard. >> sean: you have to wonder how women in california and around the country are going to react to the idea, i apologize we just used salty language. can you imagine if there was any republican conservative that made that statement, any talk show host, fox news host,
9:04 pm
radio host what would the reaction be? >> the national organization of women called for a boycott of glenn beck's show when he allegedly called senator landrieu a prostitute for accepting that louisiana sweetheart deal. they endorsed democrats who have this kind of language. alan grayson called an aide to bernanke, called her a prostitute. they went and endorsed him too. they have a history of being hypocritical. i think the voters see through this. if brown is not going to accept responsibility now, wait until god forbid he's elected. >> sean: first, this idea that he can figure out or discern who this was, i don't buy it. he knew who was with him at the time that he made that phone call. and was angry. >> where is the instruction on this? who wasn't there to help him and say, take it in the chin. start with the apology. it looks bad.
9:05 pm
the reality of the situation these democrats continue to alienate their base, one by one. then it is the women. today, it is constantly with the economy. >> sean: we are going to get into this. >> we a report from the business council. he's alienating the ceos now. remember when he first got into office, ceos were standing up behind him on the stage, behind him at the white house. now the ceos say our biggest risk right now to business in this country is increased government intervention. increased government regulation. they don't like what they are seeing. now they -- their forecast for the economy is souring by the day. >> sean: let's go back to ter -- to terry o'neil. now calls on brown to fire anyone who uses this word. then she said what i should have made clear, anyone who
9:06 pm
uses the "w" word. the word is whore we are talking about from here on in should be fired. why now back off? because he's pro abortion? he supports their agenda. as long as you support their political agenda you can call women around the country and gubernatorial candidates a word like that? >> if that is true the now president should step down for using the word whore. if this would have happened to one of boxer's staff, there would be pandemonium in california. >> sean: pickney prominent liberal or elected candidate. >> look what happened to chelsea clinton,000 went bananas -- clinton n.o.w. went nan ma when they said they were pimping out chelsea clinton. -- >> sean: do you think is similar to use the -- to using
9:07 pm
the n-word, is that a fair analogy? >> there are people analyzing whether it was or wasn't. the reaction to jerry brown saying first of all i disagree with that. be sensitive that for women that might feel that way. he doesn't care. >> he doesn't care. >> sean: do you think it is the same? >> i think he's part of the big boy's club that sits in a smokey room that has made a lot of negative comments. if a staffer felt comfortable to say it is probably an atmosphere that goes on more. >> sean: wait a minute. we've discussed this double standard as it relates to republican women. obviously, sarah palin, michelle bachmann, christine o'donnell, now meg whitman. they brought up the issue of this woman that worked for her. they dug up, not caring about the political or the legal consequences that woman is gonna face for admitting obviously she is admitting she is in the country illegally.
9:08 pm
she is admitting she had to forge documents to get a social security card and a driver's license. >> had that been a democratic woman we would have heard much more outrage in this country. it is a complete double standard. >> if they are going to victimize an immigrant and tag team with gloria allred who makes a living off of victimizing women they are not going to stop at anything. >> sean: do you think this impacts women voting in california? >> it should. women in california are smart. they should be able to see through this and say i don't want a guy in office, besides the fact he's a career politician, he's a jerk. >> it would be nice if there was something that could distract them, but there's nothing else to distract them from the comment. i think it is going to influence women voting. >> i think the economy is a huge distraction. they have a choice. they've done it the jerry brown way. they've done it the democratic
9:09 pm
way. >> they are not distracted by anything positive. >> sean: this is one of the worst debate appearances we've seen. >> yep. >> sean: nice to see you. haley barbour will join us. john kasich is here. and president obama's stunning admission as to why the stimulus bill failed to create the shovel-ready jobs. plus tom daschle. a showdown over obamacare. that and much more coming up. [ commentator ] lindsey vonn! she stays tough!

9:11 pm
>> sean: if it is true all politics local man overstar is in trouble. he's had just one donor from inside his district. the contribution was $500. supporters outside the district dumped more than $230,000 into his campaign. unfortunately, none of those donors will be able to vote for him. john kasich, tom daschle, haley barbour and much more, straight ahead.
9:12 pm
>> sean: so the truth is getting out. 800 billion dollars later, president obama is admitting the cornerstone of his stimulus sales pitch was a farce. remember when the anointed one promised the recovery act would instantly inject money into the u.s. economy? remember when he said it would immediately put americans back to work thanks to shovel-ready projects across the country? that's no longer the case in an interview with the
9:13 pm
"new york times" he now acknowledges there's no such thing as shovel-ready projects. no such thing? what exactly did he mean when he said this? >> the president: i think we can get a lot of work done fast. when i met with the governors, all of them have projects that are shovel-ready. >> we've got shovel-ready projects across the country. >> the president: shovel-ready projects, rebuilding our roads, our bridges. we are seeing shovels hit the ground. shoves are breaking ground. there are almost 100 shovel-ready transportation projects approved in colorado which are beginning to create jobs. >> sean: i guess this is more proof he's willing to say anything to advance his radical agenda. with his reaction is former congressman john kasich is back. congressman, good to have you back. thanks for being with us. >> thank you sean. >> sean: polls have you up. i've been reading and seeing that there is more money going
9:14 pm
against you. how many times has the president and vice president been in ohio to campaign against you? >> barack obama will be here 11 times on sunday night sean. 11 times. joe biden has been here four times in the last three weeks. there's been more money spent against me than any candidate in america. the reason is obama is running for reelection he knows if he loses ohio he's in trouble. all i'm doing is run for governor. he's going to appear with his twin here ted strickland. it gives people an opportunity to vote against more taxes, more stimulus, to be in a position to vote against obamacare. try to get this economy straightened out. it is a very central race. 11 times sean, they are coming after johnny kasich for 11 times he's gonna be here, amazing. people can come on our website, kasichforohio.com.
9:15 pm
sunday night at 6:30. we are going to talk about the damage the obama agenda has done to us. if you have extra nickels or dimes please send it our way. >> sean: explain to people why we cannot afford to lose that race? >> well no republican has ever been elected president without winning ohio. ohio is ground zero. the eyes of the country is on this race. we've had people come from europe to take a look at this race. the bbc reporting, economist has been here this is it. this is his fire wall to be reelected in 1212. he's here -- in 2012. he's here trying to rev up his base. the liberal organizations have been involved in here. all the big labor pacs, seiu to the teacher's union. they are afraid of change. of getting back to conservative approach. they are afraid that obama will lose this election if he
9:16 pm
doesn't win ohio. that's why he's running now. this is his chance to try to get reelected for 12 and test out a message and elect his twin ted strickland. >> sean: i agree with your analysis. we all know how key ohio is. for any republican to be elected president, you are right. it is interesting this is about him thinking about 2012. he gave this interview to the "new york times" now he's saying, you know there's no such thing as a shovel-ready project. that's not how he sold the stimulus as we showed everybody, to the american people. it was a farce. seems like he's willing to say anything. we face catastrophe. unemployment won't go above 8%. is this the final nail in the coffin in terms of the belief of barack obama for the american people? >> i think this race is a big deal many i can promise you in your network and television networks on election night, this race will be front and center.
9:17 pm
look, with the stimulus package the reason he's saying what he's saying he's trying to dismiss a little anger. trying to let some of the pressure out of the pressure cooker. because people are really fed up. the reason why he's coming here is to try to gin up the base and get his people out. 11 visits, raise money get the people going and defend his program. i believe his interview with "the new york times" is because he knows if he doesn't start saying some things to reduce the anger he's going to get swamped in a couple of weeks. >> sean: i think you are right. why is it in the race for the senate it seems like they left bob portman alone in that race. i would think they want to get the senate back. they seem very fixated and focused on you. i was wondering, when were you running the budget and insisted on a balanced budget and congressional budget office numbers and no gimmicks in terms of accounting, you
9:18 pm
along with minchey forced clinton into -- alongbit with minchey forced clinton into the signing of that. are they threatened with your background? >> i o' >> i think they are. somebody as a reformer who wants to return to government as a last resort not as a first resort there. is something more central. the senate matters, the house matters, they are 0 focused on governors' races governors control the tempo inside a state. governors decide to a large degree what happens in terms of redistricting. they are very, very concerned about this. in fact my opponent said if you don't reelect me you really hurt barack obama's chances for reelection. you see it is the governors that are the people that really manage a state. my business is, i want to get elected. i want to improve ohio. i want to create jobs. at the end of the day if that works out the way i know it
9:19 pm
will, it won't bode well for somebody who thinks 180 different than i do. >> sean: we will be watching this race closely. thanks for being with us. >> we need your help. if you like conservatism and john kasich, we need your help. >> sean: john kasich, thanks for being with us. we will be joined by mississippi governor haley barbour. he's rumored to be on the shore list to replace rahm emanuel. tom daschle will join me for a lively discussion on health care, right after the break. that and more, straight ahead. l8
9:20 pm
9:21 pm
9:22 pm
>> sean: after nearly seven months of passage obamacare is still at center of the political debate. 20 states are suing the government arguing it is a violation of state sovereignty
9:23 pm
and congress has overstepped its bounds. today a federal judge ruled parts of the lawsuit may go forward the initial hearing set for december the suits will likely end up before the supreme court. many americans remain concerned and confused about what the legislation means for them. a new poll shows 54% of voters favor repealing all or parts of the legislation. with midterms around the corner, health care is sure to be a hot button issue. for south dakota senator and senate majority leader tom daschle the fight was well worth it not just for political reasons. for him it was personal. from day one to done, daschle was in the middle of it all. his new book chronicles the gritty details. here he is, senator tom daschle. i know we never agree. but we appreciate you having a little bit of courage, more than people in the white house to come on the program. thanks for being here. >> thanks for having me sean, i appreciate it. >> sean: let me start with a
9:24 pm
general observation and question. here you have this landmark legislation, which as you chronicle, democrats wanted passed for a long time. you get the bill passed. americans now rejecting it. i can't name, maybe you can, i can't name three democrats that are running on this bill they passed. why are they not out there touting what you say is the greatest bill since sliced bread? >> there are some members of congress. >> sean: who. >> earl pomeroy and russ feingold are two, there may be others. there's been a lot of misinformation. this is huge, transformational, obviously it is going to generate, dissention, debate, misinterpretation this is not unusual. this happened in social security. barkley ran to repeal social security after it was passed. medicare the same thing. we've had a lot of examples through the last century major historic pieces of legislation
9:25 pm
that have been extremely controversial when they passed only to be appreciated as time goes on. i guarantee you that is going to happen with this as well. >> sean: you say it is misinformation. that sounds to me like the american people are too dumb to see the wisdom in great bill we passed. i would argue it is the opposite. i think the fact they had to pass this bill with what i consider to be the moral equivalency of a bribe. cornhusker kickback, louisiana purchase, why couldn't this bill if it was so good pass on the merits? if it is so good, why isn't every democrat running on it, except maybe three that could you name? maybe three democrats are running as far away from this bill as they can get. >> i know you know as well as i do, every major piece of legislation involves give-and-take and the extraordinary negotiation that goes on. that has happened with this bill. it has happened with every
9:26 pm
single piece of legislation virtually that has ever passed. i was involved with a view over the years. i think, unfortunately, it is sort of the normal legislative process. people say, this is like sausage-making. sometimes it isn't as pretty as would you like it to be. but this is not unusual this is what happens in washington. >> sean: you talk about sausage-making, if you have to bribe or use the moral equivalency of bribery to get a bill passed because it can't stand on the merits, isn't this the very thing that american people are rejecting? you shouldn't have to send money back to louisiana, to nebraska. you shouldn't have to exempt certain states because you need a senator's vote. shouldn't this bill had been strong enough, on its own that it could have passed on its own? >> this is a strong bill. and it is a bill that -- >> sean: that's not my question. >> well, the fact is that every one of these negotiated
9:27 pm
agreements, had to do with dealing with constituencys. had to deal with dealing with problems in -- in particular states problems that other parts of the country do not have. >> sean: done you have a problem with the process when the person people aren't given the opportunity to read the bill? only after the bill passed the infamous comment now nancy pelosi, we gotta pass the bill to find out what's in the bill. something is so dramatic -- and i am a student of history and there were people after the civil rights act and the voting rights act, they ran on their votes. they didn't run for cover during the next election cycle on those votes. >> those votes were even more controversial in many respects than this one was. those votes divided the country. you talk about negotiations, lyndon johnson was the master. if you read master of the senate you can appreciate the magnitude of the mastery of negotiation.
9:28 pm
that's how we were able to pass the civil rights legislation. now we look back almost myopic how great it was and what achievement it was, we have 40 years of hindsight as we look at that legislation that's what i say about this legislation as west when we look back we are going to say it may not have been perfect. were there ways which we could have improved it? absolutely that's the truth about every piece of legislation we've passed. >> sean: according to medicare's actuary, in spite of barack obama's props and the democrats' promises it will increase cost, according to our own government's -- government's estimates, 500 billion dollars cutting in medicare. as you look specifically at the medicare advantage program and everything in between it is going to force as many as 60% or 70% of the american people they are not going to be able to keep their coverage as president obama promised early on. we are learning this now, in spite of the way this was sold. we know right from this point
9:29 pm
that what we were promised is not true. isn't that part of the problem? >> no, that's not part of problem sean. as a matter of fact we only see 1/10 of a 1% increase. according to every analysis including the cbo, omb and independent sources, we are going to see a reduction over the next 10 years. if we do nothing over the next 10 years you are going to see a doubling of our costs, doubling of those who are uninsured, businesses dropping their employees. >> sean: senator portability, let people compete cross state lines. medical savings accounts, that would have been an answer. government bankrupted social security, medicare, government is already taxing us 10 years for six years of services in this bill. seems to me like we are headed for bankruptcy in this bill. that's my prediction 40 years down the line. >> we'll wager a bet. >> sean: i hope i'm right just
9:30 pm
for the sake of principle. thanks for being with us. >> thanks for having me >> sean: strange request one man got when he applied to attend the president's event at mtv. we have all the details on how the vice president is pitching that failed bill, coming up, next. s made changes. s made changes. adding lower sodium sea salt to more soups. plus five dollars in coupons to get you started. campbell's condensed soup. pass it on. campbell's.® it's amazing what soup can do.™

[ indistinct suting ] what's in your wallet? >> sean: if the president's
9:32 pm
mtv event seemed canned we know why. they asked those who applied for sample questions. according to one applicant. i gave a sample question. the next question was, what lighter question would i ask the president. something related to pop culture, perhaps. i hear the anointed one may be a big fan of bee on say what a joke. we are back -- of beyonce. what a joke, we are back in 90 seconds. but if you have arthritis, staying active can be difficult. prescription celebrex can help relieve arthritis pain so your body can stay in motion. because just one 200mg celebrex a day can provide 24 hour relief for many with arthritis pain and inflammation. plus, in clinical studies, celebrex is proven to improve daily physical function so moving is easier. and celebrex is not a narcotic. when it comes to relieving your arthritis pain, you and your doctor need to balance the benefits with the risks. all prescription nsaids, including celebrex,
9:33 pm
may increase the chance of heart attack or stroke, which can lead to death. this chance increases if you have heart disease r risk factors such as high blood pressure or when nsaids are taken for long periods. nsaids, including celebrex, increase the chance of serious skin or allergic reactions or stomach and intestine problems, such as bleeding and ulcers, which can occur without warning and may cause death. patients also taking aspirin and the elderly are at increased risk for stomach bleeding and ulcers. do not take celebrex if you've had an asthma attack, hives, or other allergies to aspirin, nsaids or sulfonamides. get help right away if you have swelling of the face or throat, or trouble breathing. tell your doctor about your medical history and find an arthritis treatment that works for you. ask your doctor about celebrex. and, go to celebrex.com to learn more about how you can move toward relief. celebrex. for a body in motion. >> sean: vice president biden is taking us into the 2010
9:34 pm
campaign strategy. asked why democrats are not running on the administration's so call accomplishments, he blames you the voter and says it is too hard to explain. it is really hard to convince people that when, they weren't up until the first of the year when there weren't new jobs it is awful hard to say it's rourking. mr. vice president unlike you and president obama the american people get it. they are not going to stand behind you and let you sell them a bag of goods. they know in february 2009 when the stimulus was signed unemployment stood at 8.2%. despite the 800 billion dollar recovery act unemployment has risen to 9.6%. the american people are smart enough to know our economy has lost jobs since the stimulus was signed. the vice president is trying to convince everyone that the recovery act has saved or created three million jobs. here's the truth from february 2009 to today, over two million americans lost their jobs bringing the grand total of unemployed in the u.s. to
9:35 pm
14.8 million people. so much for the recovery act kick starting the construction industry. 831,000 construction workers have lost their jobs since the stimulus was signed into law. clearly not the voters are confused it is vice president biden. here with analysis, governor of the great state of mississippi, our good friend haley barbour. good to see you. >> thanks for having me. >> sean: in this interview with the "new york times" the president is reflecting on his presidency, admitting that he let himself look too much like the same old tax and spend democrat. and he realized too late there is no such thing as a shovel-ready job. >> vice president biden, i thought said a mouthful. the american -- >> sean: he really did. >> american people understand that we've got big government and a small economy. and the american people want a big economy and a smaller government. that's what this election is about. he talked about what this
9:36 pm
election is about. no jobs. 800 billion dollars in just one bill -- we're talking about trillions of dollars that have been spent and the american people look and say what's the result? there is no result. economic growth and unemployment are killing the democrats. because the president's policies are not working. >> sean: this is what frustrates me. they blame, blame. their policies were implemented. it is their debt, their deficit, their lack of job creation. their job losses but they want to blame bush, fox news, talk radio and you and anybody and everybody that gets in their way. isn't time for them to man-up and take responsibility? >> that's not going to happen. the only democrat house candidates in the united states that are running tv ads about the health care reform bill are the ones saying i voted against it, i didn't do it. only senator feingold in
9:37 pm
wisconsin is running ads in favor. this election more than any, i've been around a long time sean, this election more than any is about public policy and the people looking and saying, we don't like those policies. we don't like obamacare. we don't like spending. we don't want the government to get big the economy to get shawler and fewer americans to be working. the vice president, the president, nobody can go on tv everyday andy night the obvious and convince the american people -- and deny the obvious and convince the american people they don't know what is going on. >> sean: i want to go back to this comment, there's no such thing as a shovel-ready project? isn't that how they sold the stimulus to the american people? >> it. let's go to one other point. i think most democrats in the united states and lots of republicans thought there would be a lot more
9:38 pm
infrastructure in the bill to try to create construction jobs. as it turned out, most states got a fraction of what they were thinking because this turned out to be such a bill full of social programs. this was more about social programs than it was about creating jobs. we could have spent half the money and created twice the jobs. >> sean: i agree. and we could have put more money back in people's pockets. jobs, as you know as a -- governor and i know as somebody who studied president reagan and john f. kennedy, they are created in the private sector. you have been around washington a long time, you've been around politics as a long time. i don't mean that as a pejorative, -- >> i take it as a come minute. >> sean: when i read in politico that nancy pelosi this is a referendum about her, why do my initial suspicions go to 1600 pennsylvania avenue they are trying to inoculate
9:39 pm
the president from the impact. is this a referendum on obama or pelosi? do you think and suspect as i do somebody in the white house is trying to help the president and blame her? >> i can't tell you what their plan was. we can look at this. the policies of obama and pelosi are the same policies. >> sean: good point. >> this election is about public policy. it is about all this spending. the american people know they can't spend themselves rich so the government can't either. we have run up trillions of dollars in new debt on our grandchildren. what have we got in return? more unemployed, not a better economy. they are terrified of the uncertainty that comes with financial services regulation, with obama care, are we gonna have a gigantic tax increase in january? every single thing that the obama, pelosi, reed, administration and congress have done they've all been consistent, all driven down the country's throat just with democrat votes and they are all failing to work.
9:40 pm
>> sean: isn't that the bottom line? people want government that works for them. what do you think of the ticks and the strategies that the white house -- think of the tactics and the strategies that the white house is employing. this week the d this c runs an ad against karl rove, ed gillespie, friends of yours, they are stealing democracy, chamber of commerce attacking them, what is your reaction to that strategy? >> i had the privilege of running the political office with ronald reagan many. ronald reagan understood there can be genuine differences of opinion among good people. this administration's view is that anybody that isn't for what they are for is corrupt, is on the take, is lying, you could just stretch out a name, greedy, it is always the opposition to obama's policies or bad people. the fact of the matter is, the
9:41 pm
american people have long ago decided obama's policies are bad policies. and that's what this election is going to be about on november 2nd. >> sean: one question on there this nothing more. i don't suspect you are going to answer it. are you giving any consideration, there's been a lot of speculation that you are, about a potential run in 2012 against barack obama? >> not right now. let me just be real straight. we can't wait until 2012 to start taking our country back. the election that matters is the election november 2nd, 2010. i've told everybody i know, don't be a distraction. don't be out talking about running for president and running around running for president because you are taking people's eye often ball. we need every republican, every conservative focused on november 2nd. if i'm going to give that advice i'm going to follow my own advice. after november 2nd, we'll sit down and see if it is something to think about. >> sean: governor, thank you.

decorated military vet running for congress in michigan. thanks for being with us. you are defending what brown's campaign and the way they've handled this issue involving referring to meg whitman as a whore? >> i'm not defending anybody calling anyone a whor, e. he did not say it. it was a recorded conversation. >> sean: so what it is out there in the public domain. the person responsible why doesn't he fire that person. would don imus be fired? >> absolutely. it wasn't sexual. if it was a republican they would be demanding the guy got fired for the national organization for women not to demand that. democrats have a history of throwing women under the bus, hillary clinton for example. >> republicans have a history of throwing women under the bus. [ talking over each other ] >> you cannot say that. [ talking over each other ] >> that is very hypocritical. >> how is it him krall about
9:47 pm
what? [ talking over each other ] >> the democratic party is the party that always makes little comments about all other candidates and blames other people. >> like what? >> like this. >> it wasn't said in the public dough -- domain it was a recorded conversation. >> sean: do you believe him when he says he can't figure out who said it. he knows who said it. look, if the person made a remark, he wants to apologize, you know what, we might accept the apology. the fact they are ducking and dodging and hiding and doing everything to avoid the issue and saying -- how about saying call a woman a whore is not the right thing to do? >> i agree he should say publicly it is not the right thing to do. >> sean: he's lying about not knowing who it is, right? >> i guess. if it was recorded, shouldn't it be -- >> sean: he was right there.
9:48 pm
>> the democrats have shattered the political glass ceiling, hillary shattered it but they reconstructed it what they did to sarah palin, christine o'donnell -- >> wait what did they do to christine o'donnell, she dug her own hole. >> they threw hillary clinton done a flight of stairs a couple of years ago. >> she an idiot she can't even say what they6z supreme court case -- she is for witchcraft, she's not. >> we keep talking about the politics of self-destruction democrats started this in the 90s. what the democrats are having a problem with is talking about the issues. because they can't defend their records. they attack candidates. >> sean: good point. >> -- [ talking over each other ] >> this is absolutely not the case. to be bipartisan means to have republican and democrat votes. in obamacare which my opponent
9:49 pm
michigan voted for. there were no republican votes that voted yes. but 1 out of every 8 democrats voted against it. >> sean: if obamacare is such a key success point for them, why aren't they running and say we passed obama care, stimulus, cap and tax. why don't you have manchin in west virginia firing into the heart of the cap and tax bill? >> last time i checked your vice president is the one who used a rifle. >> sean: why aren't they running on health care? >> i don't know why. >> sean: because the american people think it is a bad bill. >> that is absolutely not true. >> it absolutely is the case. >> every time i try to give a statistic you say my sources are bad. >> sean: your sources are awful. >> blagojevich gave me in source.
9:50 pm
>> sean: there's a trusted source. >> back to christine o'donnell, nobody cares if she can't answer the supreme court question or doesn't want you to touch yourself, the fact she is going to be on a team that will take a baseball bat to stop these irresponsible idiots from spending money like teenaged girls with their dad's credit card. >> sean: a pack of teenaged girls with daddy's credit card at the mall. >> that's what they are acting like. we need governor chris christies down there. that's all people care about now. they don't care what she did or didn't do or can't answer. she is not going to manage anything. she going to vote the right way. she going to swing that bat. >> she is going to lose. she's done. >> sean: nancy pelosi is done. harry reid is done. how about those leaders? >> last i checked nancy pelosi is just fine. >> sean: last i checked she
9:51 pm
not going to be called madame speaker any longer. >> be careful what you wish for. harry reid if he's done you got chuck schumer coming up as senate majority leader. that is scary. >> sean: we have to take a break.
9:52 pm
9:53 pm
9:54 pm
>> sean: as we continue with our great american panel. speaking of christine o'donnell and chris coons they had a debate last night. the issue of the bearded marxist came up. >> i am not now, nor have i ever been, anything but, a clean shaven capitalist. >> i would stand to disagree, because first of all, if you're saying what i said on a comedy show is relevant to this election then absolutely, you writing an article forget
9:55 pm
the bearded marxist comment, you writing an article saying you learned your beliefs from an articulate, intelligent marxist professor and that's what made you become a democrat. that should send chills up the spine of every delaware voter. >> sean: that was in the article. he was telling people read the article. >> if you read it, he did say that. by the way he's a creepy-looking dude. he looks like he's got bodies in his basement. do we need another marxist in d.c.? no. she is going to bring the baseball bat with the team and cleanup that cesspool! >> sean: notice in the minds of liberals like tamara. every conservative is an idiot. conservatives wouldn't ring up record debt, deficits. they wouldn't embody the notion government can run health care when they bankrupt social security and medicare. you sit blindly and support what these democrats are doing. what is the great success of
9:56 pm
obama? what has he done that is so inspiring to you? >> he's passed a lot of legislation that is working. >> sean: what? the stimulus is working? >> yes. >> three million jobs. >> it is a slow process. >> in my congressional district, they've spent over 600 million dollars for 200 and some odd jobs. spending two million dollars per job. per job created. that's working? that's wasteful spending. >> sean: if unemployment is 9.6% and he promised it wouldn't go above 8%, now he acknowledges there's no such thing as a shovel-ready job, how is that successful? >> i believe the stimulus money has been expedited quickly. 70% of it -- >> sean: excuse me it has been squandered. >> the cbo said there is not fraud, there is not waste. >> sean: where are the jobs?
9:57 pm
where are they? >> they are being created. >> sean: when, where the money is gone! . [ talking over each other ] >> we lost three million jobs since the stimulus bill was passed. again i was supposed to lower unemployment rate to 8%, it is 9.6%, disaster is what it is. >> why are you looking at me. this is the great, great, great republican panel. >> sean: your a democrat, a big lib. >> i am a big lib. >> sean: you obviously light candles to a picture of the anointed one. what else has he done? >> he passed i a health care bill. >> he and nancy pelosi, the guy -- >> americans want health care. we have so many people who don't have health care. >> sean: no, most americans want health care repeal. do you ever read a poll?
9:58 pm
>> it -- they do not want health care repealed. they want the federal government to work. people are not just upset with obama they are upset with the government as a whole. which consists of democrats and republicans. it is not just obama. >> let me just help you out here. sean, i don't know what the problem is with your opposition to health care plan. done you want what every other american is gonna get? it's free man! >> it's not free. >> wait a minute, who is gonna pay for it? >> we are. >> we all are going to pay because we all need health care at some point in our lifetime. have you ever been to the hospital, taken a medication? >> taxes will go up and grandma is going down. >> sean: that's true. >> that's the obamacare for you. >> sean: you want to disagree? >> i do disagree. i think every american is entitled to health care in this country. >> sean: "washington post"
9:59 pm
reports there are not as many racist signs at tea party events as people think. they analyzed the signs in d.c. and they reveal a majority of activists express concerns about the government's economic spending policies could it be the president and vice president and congress and the white house that have tried to -- demonize the tea party movement are wrong? >> no. the pundits here are telling people to not bring your signs. certain people are saying, go to these tea party rallies, don't bring your signs, don't wear your hood and cloak, but you can still be a racist. >> sean: you think the tea party movement the people in their hearts are racist? >> not a lot of them, maybe 25% or so >> sean: 25% of tea party members are racist? >> possibly. >> the last -- it would be like saying a few
