giuliani and illinois senator dick durbin went at it. >> that was an absolutely blatant appeal to racism. >> there isn't a racist bone in joe biden's body. and to suggest that is, i think, over the edge. >> reporter: now campaign sources tell me they are going to keep hitting medicare and today they've got an ad out talking about another social program, welfare. the romney campaign in this ad is saying that the president loosened work requirements in that landmark welfare law. we need to put the work requirements back. that's that argument. so here is the campaign that's supposed to be all about the economy. we're talking about medicare. we're talking about welfare but, of course, the romney campaign says all of these things are important to people's bottom line, and they think they're all related and that's why you're gointo hear them continue to talk about them. >> jan crawford, thanks. >>> the romney/ryan campaign is criticizing a fellow republican in missouri this morning after a bombshell comment about abortion, rape, and pregnancy shook up a very important race there. nancy cordes

we had dick durbin on the program last week, who talked about why we should be talking online retailersy regular retailers -- -- regular retailers have to collect sales tax from you in the state they're in, jurisdictions they're in. online retailers have not had to do this. there's been a big movement that even companies like amazon and ebay have signed off on saying, okay, perhaps we should be paying some sort of sales tax as well, or collecting sales tax. the states already can tax you for this and they go after you in your taxes you pay in every year. make you sign up. new jersey's doing this. several other states are doing the same thing. his argument is that there's no taxation without representation. that was something that this nation was founded on. apparently, he's never lived and worked in the new york/new jersey area. if you live in new jersey and work in new york, have you to pay new york taxes for the new york state and new york city. it's been an argument i've thought for a long time. you shouldn't be taxed without voting in that jurisdiction. so if demint -- >> if you liv

>> well, the fact that tom coburn voted for it and dick durbin voted for it, even though the packageontained tons of things both had objectionable was a moment in time and symbol. it was not going to pass. one reason the president didn't support it. the country wasn't ready for it. there had not been a big debate about the tradeoffs involved. but you can make the argument it was a moment in time and that for paul ryan and the president they missed an opportunity. i don't agree with that argument but you can make it. >> the reason you create it is to take something outside the political process and broker a deal. like the social security commission or something. a recognition that washington wasn't working create something special outside and get it done there and reintroduce it back into the political process. it would have been a partial fix, not a solution to anything, and i think the ryan argument is the 800 pound gorilla, which was medicare wasn't it in. to have a fix without the 800 pound gorilla was a step in the wrong direction rather than the right direction. >> and the tax i

also senator ron widen, dick durbin.esident themselves have said positive things, but the one that really sticks out in my mind is when bill clinton -- i don't know -- remember that open mike where they caught him saying hey i hope this win in new york is important, but i hope they don't use that to do nothing. clearly there is a growing consensus has to be done. thank goodness paul ryan is out here saying, we have to tackle it. it's been the third rail for so long. it's about time someone stepped up and said we have to do this. >> gretchen: they did that with the debt commission and then it was completely ignored. so maybe the attention should go back to what those recommendations were for the debt commission because paul ryan's budget has a lot of the same things in it. let's talk about vice president joe biden because that is who paul ryan is going to go up against on october 11 during the presidential debate. maybe joe biden needs to go through a few more practice sessions because he has three gaffes yesterday alone.
