government needs to start killing gays and also this week the iowa republican party released its new platform calling for a complete prohibition on pornography and the teaching of evolution and a repeal of hate crimes laws and a complete ban on abortion presidents like to accuse president obama of being a secret muslim but my question is has the taliban secretly taken control of the republican party mark no they have not you know these things are extreme because this has the television itself on you know behind of the republican party no are these people saying various injuries are there that are offensive that yes you can have i mean i'm saying are you asking me whether the taliban itself is infiltrated in or these people extremists in their own way yes they are and those are things to say this is just awful throwing acid on people's faces. it's a little terroristic in nature that's and you know you've got people here talking running their mouths at the same time you've got far left activists swotting conservative bloggers and for those not familiar with the term where you call nine

republican presidential nominating race in 2012? ron paul won iowa, and ron paul also won iowa going forward beyond this year. in addition to the convention delegates, the new executive director of the iowa republican partya ron paul guy. deep ties to ron paul. also, the party's new organizational director, the person in charge of iowa republicans' presence in the countries in this election year, also a ron paul guy, a backer of ron paul, and what's going on up there in alaska? in april, ron paul backers elected one of their own as the new party chairman in alaska. in may, following month, faced with a full-on ron paul revolution in the making up in alaska, the outgoing chair of the party who had been ousted by the ron paul guy, he urged alaska republicans to boycott the state republican party convention so they could deny ron paul coaches a corm, so they couldn't replace the chairman right now before november so the new ron paul alaska party couldn't send ron paul delegates to the national convention instead. in an effort to avoid that, the outgoing chairman in alaska urged the state's republicans to not show up at their own convention, to go fishing instead. literally, he told them to go fishing instea

republican side. we got a statement from the iowa g.o.p. state party chairman a. j.piker saying, quote, president obama clearly lied to the american team. he's referring to when he repeatedly promised during the battle for healthcare that this was not a tax increase, basically the party chairman in iowa, other republicans, senator lea few moments ago when you were speaking to him, saying the highest court in the land is now saying, this is a tax increase and that will be a big political weapon for republicans moving forward, jon. jon: a fascinating argument to watch as it evolves over the next few months. thank you. jenna: we are witnessing history in the making right now. today's healthcare ruling is definitely one that we'll be talking about for years to come. we wanted to get a little context here for some previous big decisions from the high court. rick folbaum is at the breaking news desk with more. >> reporter: we wanted to look at landmark decisions some of them controversial in their day and the impact they had. if the court had ruled differently today they w

republican party itself as an organization. a ron paul loyalist is a chairman of the party in iowa, so is the organizer who watching over the presenceiowa's counties. that matters in iowa. they have taken over the party in alaska. electing a ron paul supporter as a new chairman. they took over the county party in nevada where three-quarters of the state resides. they replaceded two members of the republican national committee. they voted down the supporters and picked round paul supporters as well. in maine they elected a new republican national committee woman and staying over dozens of seats on the state committee. does the party matter? does the republican party matter in the states, because now that the ron paul revolution has overthrown the republican party in at least four states and taken over at least portions of the party in half a dozen states and counts, you know what they do with their new power? they're changing what those state republican parties do. so if is it does matter what republican parties do, you should know. they're about to start doing something different. exhibit a, virginia, where ron paul supporters have

but with everything between ron paul and the rest of the republican party it is a little awkward. this weekend, ron paul won iowa. it's official. there will be 25 delegates and super delegates sent to the national republican convention from the great state of iowa this year and even though you heard mitt romney won on election night and that actually no rick snowstorm won in iowa really ron paul won. of the 25 delegates, 21 of them are ron paul delegates. leaving the ron paul campaign to put out this press release. ron paul wins iowa and it's true. he did. bottom t line. also hosting a ron paul revolution rally in tampa at the site of the republican convention this summer the day before it opens. which is a rather in your face move for a guy who is not getting the nomination. >> we should not be disruptive, but we should also not be pushed around. >> ron paul's message to supporters this weekend, announcing their plans for the counter convention in tampa this weekend. this weekend, frankly, with him winning a majority of delegates and winning maine, minnesota, iowa and nevada, you have to ask what is ron paul go

iowa and all the other places. the ron paul takeover in massachusetts ruling republican party plans.iting to have one of their own as the presidential nominee, but the republican leaders wanted to send a big group of big shots, candidates, former elected officials, cheering on the former massachusetts governor, mitt romney. those plants went away when it came time to choose the massachusetts delegates. it was the wrong paul disciples that did the work and got the votes. what is the massachusetts republican going to do? how can they replace these revolution with real republicans? two words, loyalty oaths. for the first time ever, they demanded that they swear under penalty of perjury that they would support mitt romney's presidential nomination. take that ron pohl supporters. sure enough, the tactic worked. some were so horrified of what they were asking them to do that they said no, and that was how they cut some of the ron paul phillips, by using a pledge of louis legions. according to "the boston globe," they never mention the rules and have never been required of delegates in the

republican party that tends to get inflamed when this topic comes up. steve king recently compared immigrants to dogs. >> ifill: congressman from iowa. >> and that's the kinding that doesn't play well with hispanic voters. several voters i talked to or participated in our poll told me they saw the republican party as intolerant. so romney and his campaign are honing by focusing on the economy they can keep their party focused and keep these other extraneous and often poorly received comments out of the dialogue. >> ifill: let's look at the flip side because until this happened the president was beginning to run in into head winds with latino supporters and activists because of the white house's view on deportation. does this mute that unhappiness? >> well, there's never a question over whether the president would win latino voters. it was always clear and republicans when they were speaking candidly would say listen,vcw we know we're not gg to win latino voters. their goal is to cut... the republicans' goal is to cut into the president's edge with that group. and, of course, the obama campaign wants to pump up turnout among latinos as much as possible. wh

iowa and ohio. pennsylvania is not part of the perception. in fact, the state republican party chairman told mitt romney he doubted he could win the keystone state. so early on, let's not forget, you know, a republican presidential candidate hasn't won pennsylvania since 1988. george h.w. bush. it is a left-leaping state. and the fact is there are more appetizing options for the romney campaign right snow. >> amy, we'll bring you back in here quickly because we have to look at mitt romney's net worth, how does someone with up to $250 million reach the average voter? this seems to be a question that comes up a lot. >> well, you know, this is definitely a issue we have seen talked about on the campaign for many months. a couple points, one, the network we saw in the disclosure report is not news to most americans. people know governor romney is wealthy. they like his family. they like him. they are uncertain about the economy. again, going back to the point i made earlier, i think that this election is going to be decided on how americans and voters feel about president obama's s

iowa and all the other places they have done that this year. the ron paul takeover in massachusetts kind of ruined republican party plans. i mean, they were really excited to have one of their own as the party's presidential nominee. the state's republican leaders in massachusetts wanted to send, asheir delegation, this big group of big shots and candidates and former elected officials, on to tampa, cheering on the former massachusetts governor, mitt romney. but those plans went all pear shaped when it came time to actually choose the massachusetts delegates. because it was the ron paul disciples that actually showed up and did the work and got the votes and won the slots. so what's the massachusetts' republican party to do? how can they replace these ron paul revolution no-good-nicks with real republicans? two words -- loyalty oaths. for the first time ever, they distributed affidavits demands that they swear under penalty of perjury that they would support mitt romney's presidential nomination. take that, ron paul supporters! sure enough, the tactic worked. some of these delegates were so horrified at what the state pa

influence in creating what the republican party becomes, what the platform is, and, also, what it becomes from here on out, exciting things are that the chairman of the iowa party was a ron paul supporter, the chairman of the nevada party was a ron paul supporter, and maine won the vast majority of delegates and interestingly the national committee woman from maine is a 21-year-old girl who supported ron paul. so, the republican party ought to be excited with the new people they are bringing in if they can figure out how to bring in and embrace those people it makes the party bigger and stronger. >>neil: rand paul, thank you very much. senator rand paul. charles understands washington not getting it. he cannot believe wall street not getting it with this run up, charles is charged. charles you understand wall street better than fin i me and say wall street is always out for wall street. >>guest: wall street is selfish. >>neil: you love that. because she's shallow people are your friends. why is that? why would they embrace in this case more spending and goose the economy when it has had questionable track record? do they think they can benefit? >>guest: t
