you have rand paul talking it up and now you have mike huckabee.ould be the democratic response to this if any at all? can they let this just -- or should democrats out on the trail start talking about this? >> i think between now and the midterm, democrats ought to say bring it on. it's raising the money and it's turning out the base and it's firing them up and getting them ready to go. i think dems are right to keep the language alive and to pass huckabee the mike, pass michele bachmann the mike, one more, two more, three more times as long as they'll repeat it and democrats are right to do this. it's a weakness that republicans don't realize that they have. after midterms, however, it gets even more dangerous because w r we're in a position where they may move ahead on this and they might float articles of impeachment and the problem is they would destroy themselves in 2016. >> i want both of you to respond to the mississippi congressman and i am so furious at the guy, i don't even want to say his name. talk about the democrats are waging a war
