she has all the vulnerabilities of barry goldwater with the nomination back in 1964, with social security and the rest. chris: but he won. >> he did, because at that time the moderates were weak. and they're weak now. that's her best shot, because it's a shrunken party from wait -- what it used to be. but because of recent events, a lot of the republican moderates, the david brooks types, are going to be the ones to stand up and call a halt or come after south carolina. chris: i wonder whether cerebral writers, bright people, are not really in tune with that base out there. >> that's right. and this could be a flash in the pan. and remember mike huckabee won the iowa primary in 2008. buchanan won the new mexico primary in -- the new hampshire primary in 1996. so we'll just have to see. but i would go the conventional wisdom route on this. i think this all helps romney. there's lots of debate. there's lots of high throwing. -- pie-throwing. she probably won't go in the history books. but, again, you never know. chris: there's some spark there, i hear. she seems to have perfect pitch for so

a corporation's -- i wrote the introduction just recently did a republication of barry goldwater's bookhe conscious conservative, which is the bible of the conservative movement in this country. it now looks like a liberal's creed. [laughing] >> they would be calling goldwater a socialist, yeah, wouldn't they? >> so, in one of the things ú&ldwater says is he says you can't let corporate ú&ney into the political system, and you know, we have now this citizen's united case which is -- you know, which is the most momentous historically supreme court case in the last ten years. >> open the flood gates to corporate money >> it opens the flood gates and it, it has hardly been covered. we know a lot about charlie sheen, but we know very -- we are the best entertained and the least informed people on the facecken said that a journalist is somebody who can't distinguish between a bicycle accident and the end of civilization. and. [laughing] the citizens united case is the end of civilization. >> i am not going to take that personally. >> no [ lauggter ] >> if you're talking about them , i unders

>> we've had plenty of movements come to washington before, think of barry goldwater or george mcgovern. but once in washington the system encouraged compromise and governance. but over the last few decades, what has changed are the rules organizing american politics. and they now encourage small interest groups, including ideologically charged once, to cap toour major political parties as well as congress itself. call it political narrow casting. here are some examples. redistricting has created safe seats so that for most house members, their only concern is a challenge from the right for republicans and the left for democrats. the incentive is to pander to the base, not the center. party primaries have been taken over by small groups of activists who push even popular senators to extreme positions. in utah, for example, 3,500 conservative activists managed to take the well-regarded senator robert bennett off the ballot. gop senators like match and mccain have moved farther to the right hoping to stave off similar assaults. changes in congressional rules have made it far more difficul

seeing the culmination of an anti-government attitude, anti-government rhetoric that began with barry goldwaterand now has reached a point where it seems as if the republican party at least a certain wing of it, the tea part wing season simply isn't interested in governing anymore. that that has helped congress grind to a halt on this thing. one other thing is what's so remarkable about this is not that we haven't seen fierce con it's about big issues before, this seems so voluntary. this really is about a procedural vote. a procedural question that's gone fine 100 times in the past and the question is why it's become such a huge contest. >> there are other moments in history where we've seen a big divide in terms of partisan politics. watergate you had wilson pushing for the league of nations. there have been other moments when we've seen a great divide. >> absolutely -- >> do you think if we had a third party, an independent third party that you would still see these impasses? >> i don't think third parties have ever done much in the united states and i don't think that there's a real solutio

and not just conservatives like barry goldwater, richard nixon, that really to everybody.so, castro was interrogated on the subject of communism everywhere he went on his visit. i vice president nixon, congressional subcommittee, scores of journalists. everyone asked him the same question. doctor castro, are you a communist? and he answered the same every time. no, he was not economies, never had been, never would be. when castro left new york on april 25, the police were relieved to see him go. but most new yorkers were happy it come to visit. an editorial in the new york times summed up the attitude as he left, quote, he made it quite clear that neither he nor anyone of

on taxes let me remind my republican friends what barry goldwater once said. where it is the politician has not promised his constituents to fight to the death to lower taxes and has not proceeded then to vote for the very same spending programs that make tax cuts possible? there's some the shoe fits but not many. we need to cut spending inside as well as spending outside. this plan offers the american people 9 trillion reasons to stop making excuses and start solving the problems in washington. we have no doubt both parties will criticize portions of this plan, and i welcome that debate. but it's neither a legitimate criticism and tell you have a plan of your own, a plan that solves the problems of the future, that secures prosperity for our kids and our grandkids. it's time to show the american people it's not only what is possible but also what is necessary. what is not acceptable, however, is not having a plan and delaying until some perfect political moment that will never arrive. the fact is doing nothing is a tax increase. i benefit cuts for seniors and

barry goldwater tried to point out the problems we're having today. they just crucified him.the matter is, the democrats are so -- let's say, lustful for power and control over the lives of old people, they won't give up to them the right to choose. the fact of the matter is, today, you're forced to be in medicare being a burden to this system and to the taxpayers, whether you want it and need it or not. i make the point, most of our activists, be see the obvious point, this nation is not going broke taking care of the people who truly need public assistance. going broke taking care of people who don't need it. >> i'll leave you on that point. that's why some people say the rich should pay more taxes in this country. chairman of freedom works, the author of "give us liberty a tea party manifesto." >> good to talk to you. >> 38 minutes after the hour. here's what's new this morning. casey anthony is reportedly planning to live in a secret location under a new name once released from jail. according to a source close to her legal team she turned down plans to get plastic surger

saying america is on the verge of becoming a fascist state because of the working class whites and barry goldwaternd and a new hat i remember, every headline in "newsweek" in the 1970s and 1980s was the evil angry white male. and so in my opinion, the white working class became the scapegoat for the white liberal elites and libertarian elites. and they are saying oh this country would work vertically well if it weren't for these reactionary working-class whites. i just don't see this in the white working-class. you know the story is half a century old. the ku klux klan, white supremacy and all that stuff is weaker than ever. as i pointed out if you look at white latino asian intermarriage african and white intermarriage has grown significantly from a low level. it is just increasing with generation after generation on social issues. the white working class is more liberal than its parents in its grandparents so i am just skeptical about this. you know it is a matter of time. if we are back in 1914, you might have a bunch of anglo-saxon protestants sitting up here, wondering if the country is broke

on taxes, let me remind my republican friends what barry goldwater once said, "where is the politician who is not promised his constituents in the fight to the debt for lower taxes and who was not preceded them to vote for their very spending programs that makes tax cuts and a possibility -- an impossibility?" we need to cut spending inside the code as well as outside the code. this plan operas the american people $9 -- this plan offers the american people 9 trillion reasons to stop making excuses and start solving problems and washington. no doubt, both parties will criticize bportions of this plan and it is a legitimate debate, but it is not a legitimate criticism until you have a plan of your own, a plan that solve the problems of the future and secures prosperity for kids and grandkids. it is time to show the american people not only what is possible, but also what is necessary. what is not acceptable, however, is not having a plan and delaying reform until some perfect political moment that will never arrive. the fact is, doing nothing is a tax increase, benefit cuts for seniors a
