buddy roemer before this poll.st week, ppp sent out this tweet.s;?w?íñók it said, quote, buddy roemer just called and personally asked to be included in our polls and was very nice about it. so we'll do that for the duration. buddy roemer asked nicely and wa-la, now ppp is polling on buddy roemer along with the other candidates. officially now he's in last place. 2%.ç moving on up. contrast that with another bottom of the barrel candidate making news tonight. the former republican governor of new mexico, gary johnson. gary johnson actually gave up on the republican nominating process altogether today. mr. johnson in santa fe this afternoon announcing that he is leaving the republican race. and he's had it better than buddy roemer. gary johnson at least got into a couple republican debates so far this year. he said today his deep disappointment with the process thus far is leading him to dump the republican party and instead run for the libertarian party's presidential nomination instead. in terms of dissatisfactio

and this one, former louisiana governor and presidential candidate, buddy roemer. and governor, did you ever think you'd have so much in common with a progressive from vermont being a conservative from louisiana? >> i'm frightened, man. somebody's wrong. >> did you listen to senator sanders' interview at all? >> i did. it was fascinating. he nailed it. if a corporation is a person, i can't wait until they get drafted in the next war. i mean, it's ridiculous. i mean, where have we come in america? a corporation is a person. but this issue, as you know, dylan, goes much deeper than that. if you have a big check, you stand first in line. and i don't call that a representative democracy. >> i want to talk about a "washington post" profile of you today and read folks a quote from that. it was a great piece. and if you haven't checked it out, you should. and bear in mind, governor romer is the voice in this year's presidential election for this agenda. and it reads as follows -- "far more defeating were the external expectations of a modern presidential campaign, by whic

if you're a business owner, we have financial strategies to help. >> we're back with buddy roemer andhnson. governor roemer, i asked this question with governor jindal, would he be comfortable supporting rick perry, would he be comfortable if it was newt gingrich or mitt romney. can you support romney or gingrich if that's who it is against president obama. >> we'll see if they stand up with courage. so far they haven't. newt gingrich is on the payroll of every federal agency you can think of. he makes his living in washington really off the government. i don't think newt gingrich -- he's about as far from me as a candidate can get. superpacs, pacs, special interest money. what change will he bring? mitt romney has yet to address the question of his three superpacs or is it two, his four $1 million checks and who gives him his money. look, there is one issue in this campaign. it's jobs. the key thing about jobs is any action in washington like the fair tax that gary talks about, i would rather a flat tax at a low rate, but whatever you choose, it will not get done because the special

watch buddy roemer say he agrees with a progressive from vermont on that singular issue. i am inspired, i hope you are too, as much as the mess is out there. that very mess is what drives the momentum for the change that we are all pursuing. i am dylan ratigan and chris matthews starts right now. >>> hooting newt. let's play "hardball." >>> good evening. i'm chris matthews, back in washington. leading off tonight, nailing newt. newt gingrich is finding out what it means to be the front-runner. newt's under siege from rivals like mitt romney and rick perry. perry's hitting him for his three marriages, believe it or not, and perry's hitting him for changing positions and religions. and now a conservative pastor out in iowa who's backing santorum is running a video calling newt the kim kardashian of the gop, and also attacking his serial marriages and his conversion to catholicism. with two debates in the next seven days, the attacks against gingrich are going ballistic. but republican voters are falling for newt, because they see him as a gladiator. he can counterpunch, and

ask buddy roemer whose campaign currently looks more like a one-man show.unt of his recent attendance at an occupy rally up in new hampshire. "the rally was scheduled to start at 6:00, so roemer arrived at the park 15 minutes early with two of his aides. the temperature was below freezing. finally, at 6:15, roemer's director of scheduling looked at his watch and realized his boss' parking meter was about to run out. roemer had already received four $20 tickets in the past month. fearful of more tickets, his staff had taken to pausing its work every two hours to refill the meter. governor, we better deal with your car now, the scheduling director said. okay, said the governor, let's call it a night. there's no audience here anyway." well, not quite the image you usually associate with a presidential campaign, is it? i think calling it a night might apply to the roemer campaign itself. >>> up next, from the sideshow to the clown show, now with no ringmaster, donald trump has been unable to attract more than a pair of contestants to his december 27th debate. h

ask buddy roemer whose campaign currently looks a bit like a one-man show.iece in today's "washington post" gives an inside look at the lack of enthusiasm surrounding roamer with his recent lack of attendance in a rally. "the rally was scheduled to start at 6:00, so roemer arrived at the park 15 minutes early with two of his aides. the temperature was below freezing. finally, at 6:15, roemer's director of scheduling looked at his watch and realized his boss' parking meter was about to run out. roemer had already received four $20 tickets in the past month. fearful of more tickets, his staff had taken to pausing its work every two hours to refill the meter. governor, we better deal with your car now, the scheduling director said. okay, said the governor, let's call it a night. there's no audience here anyway." well, not quite the image you usually associate with a presidential campaign, is it? i think calling it a night might apply to the roemer campaign itself. >>> that's "hardball" for now. thanks for being with us, up next, "your business" with j.j. ramber

contributed to mitt romney's presidential campaign now the words felt were fellow republican candidate buddy roemer is dead when he said that mitt represents the one percent for romney trails newt gingrich in double digits by double digits in the polls really doesn't matter right now what does matter is that it appears that the message of the ninety nine percent movement has finally moved president iraq obama. politicians are not leaders they follow the they follow movements movement politics drives look at the president's speech today president obama's speech today he's following the ninety nine percent now first he elevated their cause and acknowledge that this is in essence a revolutionary moment. he then should he he went in the in the context of that he went into a lengthy rant in his speech today about how we are at a turning point a revolutionary point he then went into a conversation about teddy roosevelt theodore roosevelt the republican roosevelt not the democratic roosevelt franklin roosevelt abroad was the the new deal out of the great depression but teddy roosevelt who brought us the s

is going to be enough though if only individual candidates of people like yourself people like buddy roemer who's also been on the program say i'll take one hundred dollars in person because ultimately you still need the party machine to work you need to prop it up you need to get the name out there and all of that takes money so you know how do you actually fight the corruption was becoming a part of it it's so different now with social media we have a democratize means of communicating in this world not just in the country but around the world we've seen revolutions then governments because of communications that were facilitated by this new media we can do this in this country we can create the kind of grassroots movement that helped begin this country in the first place and it's not going to be. based on a billion dollar campaign with all these expensive meaningless fifteen thirty sixty second spots on television people stick with social media if they click on something a video they want to watch it's because they want to watch it it's not some break between programming on television an

idea to do some variation of turning social security over to wall street people like republican buddy roemer a corporate friendly democrat evan by. the website and the whole watching process looks to me more like an astroturf meet up like the tea party where average americans think they're bucking both parties and voting for a moderate when in reality they're just dancing with millionaires in another corporation it's not about political parties a truth that even americans elect acknowledges and for progressives who want to put an end to corporatism the answer will not be found in a corporation running a candidate the real grassroots movement is already in the streets the ninety nine percent movement is putting incredible pressure on democrats and eventually can lead the whole party to follow in the footsteps of past progressives like teddy and franklin roosevelt one republican the other democrat who both fought against too much corporate influence in our government so let's get to work on bracing and strengthening the real grassroots movement in the streets in front of our very eyes it's a f

conversation on stage because his numbers are so good that they actually have to gary johnson buddy roemer now rocky anderson well they may not as well excuse me they may as well not exist for the mainstream media when they're allowed on t.v. their ideas are treated by the m.s.m. like novelties like fun little by this guy abusers will never actually happen because the mainstream media simply can't get their head above this guy to see outside of the beltway so i hope that people like rocky and buddy and gary continue to make noise and share their ideas with the country and i promise that they will always have a platform here on this show to do that and in fact we love to get them all together for a debate that we could host here r.t. and finally i want to respond to a viewer tone capone who tweeted to us at the lone show i feel like a fool just now discovering r.t. and yourself thank you for the voice most american media keeps muffled so hey there no need to feel like a fool i am very happy that you found us no matter how long it took but thank you keep watching and spread the word as of my

is coming up in just about a half hour tonight tom we'll be speaking to presidential candidate buddy roemer about getting money out of politics but that's going to do it for the news i'll see you right back here tomorrow have a great night. you know sometimes you see a story and it seems so. you think you understand it and then you glimpse something else you hear or see some other part of it and realize that everything you thought you knew you don't know i'm sorry is a big.

gary johnson and buddy roemer are not ruling it out. donald trump, also, himself not ruling it out. and ron paul still saying it is not necessarily in the cards sounding a lot like rodney dangerfield saying his campaign is still not getting the respect it and he deserves as he climbs. and larry says a third party revolt is possible but at this rate we could have a lot of people running at the same time like my mother country. >>guest: that is my mother country, too, neil, and i will tell you, i would not be surprised to see several independent or third party candidates on will bat local. you lock at american history it is years like 2012 that end up having third party and independent candidates because hard times tend to breed dissatisfaction, dissatisfaction often includes two major parties and it results in third party and independent candidacies. >>neil: formally they do not score, of course, roosevelt broke from the taft and that is the benchmark but the question is would they take votes from? any of these gentleman running, on paper, i would assume, take votes away from republi

and other than rick santorum in iowa and buddy roemer in new hampshire, they're not heading there forays. for states that are used to seeing their presidential candidates up close and repeatedly, seeing candidates opt for fund-raisers and televised debates instead of chicken dinners and town halls is a big change. joining me now is msnbc analyst steve schmidt. steve is the former senior adviser to the mccain/palin '08 presidential campaign and senior strategist in the bush/cheney '04 presidential campaign and managed governor arnold schwarzenegger's 2006 re-election campaign. steve, with herman cain out of the race, how long do you think it will take for polls to stabilize in the migration of voters from cain's support to wherever they're going? they seem to be heading possibly to gingrich more so than romney. >> i suspect what you're going to see, lawrence, is a consolidation of support to newt gingrich. he will continue to rise in the polls, but he'll level off at a point. one of the things in some of the surveys out of iowa, today, is that there's no awareness, for example, that he

monday you may recall we have presidential candidate here on the show, former louisiana governor buddy roemera republican. if you didn't know, he's in the race. you're not alone. by his own estimation, he's never risen above 2% in the polls or participate to qualify in the debates. he says because he doesn't have the money behind him other candidates had. he announced on this show this week, not making tracks in his bid to seek the republican nomination for president, he is setting his sights on becoming the candidate for a new kind of party formed this year called americans elect. >> i'm looking at americans elect. a unity group outside the republican party who would go right to independents and republicans and liberals and conservatives who put their country first. i plan on announcing as a candidate for that ticket. >> americans elect describes themselves as a second way of nominating a president rather than a third party. that's because they plan to do away with any primary voting in order to hold a political convention online that would treat registered voters like fans of "american idol

vote for either major party candidate except for someone like ron paul, possibly gary johnson or buddy roemerthe people that are not getting press. ron paul is going to win in iowa. it is an embarrassment that they are downplaying the entire caucus and say it does not matter. there has been no problem reporting on ron paul when he was you're crazy uncle. when he has a chance to make some changes that we all agree need to be made, and now he is a laughingstock. i am a lifelong democrat. i'm going to vote for your republican candidate if it is ron paul. police believe the man is delectable -- please believe the electable.ctab that is true. he likes -- the caller likes ron paul because he is a pragmatist. ron paul has not changed. he is articulating the same vision of politics. it is a different world. now he's the pragmatist in the race. there's a lot of truth to that. they would take us from spending about $3.7 trillion to $4.7 trillion, democrats versus republicans. the establishment or the ones who are living in class coo-coo land. the one saying we need to cut money from the budget is the p

buddy roemer and governor johnson have said they will possibly compete for that nomination.here is an appetite for a third party in the country. ron paul is somebody a lot of people think would be similar to ross perot where he could get 18% of the vote. that would hurt republicans. i spoke to an advisor close to ron paul who said this is not happening. he has ruled it out. you never know what can happen with the appetite being what it is. host: welcome. >> i was brought up an islet in the 1950's. i lived there and socialized with most of the people there. [unintelligible] until i got in the navy. then i met a few there. i am told my grandfather was a mormon but i do not know anything about it. could you ever consider having that for the morning call-in? i would like to see what kind of response you get. that is what i want to say. host: may be a better thing would be to have someone come on and talk about the church of jesus christ of latter-day saints and mormons. i appreciate the point. the issue of mitt romney and his faith is coming up in a new campaign ad. >> we do not

i am for buddy roemer or ron paul. best chance to be a obama would be wrought -- mitt romney. they keep putting this abortion issue on. oregon's had a chance to outlaw abortion and they did not -- the republicans had the chance to outlaw abortion and they did not do it. it was just a political ploy. romney is about the best chance they have to beat obama. the rest of them will not do it. thank you. host: this headline from "the washington post." "cain has simple strategy for handling criticism -- blanket denial." caller: we will have to see what the republican does. host: are you talking about newt gingrich and mitt romney? caller: yes, that's correct. the president does two things. he is politicking and our dime -- on our dime. we're paying millions of dollars every time he goes out, that it's costing the taxpayers. second, he talks about all that he is giving away and never talks about how he is borrowing that money from china. if somebody says, i'm going to give you something for free, you should ask if for free is from china. they are going to have to pay back all the mone

buddy romer. he looks like a one-man show. a piece from "the washington post" gives a lack of enthusiasm for him. the rally was scheduled to start at 6:00. roemer arrived 15 minutes early with two of his aids. they looked at the watch and realized the parking meter he received four $20 tickets in the last month. fearful of more tickets they tauzed to r every two urs. governor, we better deal with your car now. okay, said the governor, let's call it a night. there's no audience here, anyway. not quite the image associated with a presidential campaign, is it? i think calling it a night might apply to the roemer campaign. >>> next, "your business" with j.j. ramberg. what is that? it's you! it's me? alright emma, i know it's not your favorite but it's time for your medicine, okay? you ready? one, two, three.
