he's made about monetary policy which by the way he's described in an interview with the milwaukee journal sentinel journal as his first love so he's kind of betraying his first love it seems when you look through the wiki leaks disclosures that's interesting because paul ryan has seemed at least in the public public realm to be a vocal critic of the federal reserve but documents out of wiki leaks say otherwise well. he has definitely been of a surface critic of the federal reserve expansionary monetary policy he's basically said it's you know dangerous it causes long term inflation in may two thousand and eight he introduced legislation that would have stripped the federal reserve of its mandate to sort of minimize unemployment. but you see in these documents throughout these meetings he kind of gives this praise sort of recognizes that what bernanke is doing with respect to you know expansionary monetary policy with respect to ensuring that there's liquidity in the economy he sort of seems to indicate that that's the way forward. you know which is very much at odds with other things he said and s

i can tell you we had the publisher of the "milwaukee journal sentinel" along with the commissioner of health be commissioned by united way to do a study on teen pregnancy here in our town. milwaukee had been in the top ten for teen pregnancy for decades. six years ago, the study found that 71% of underage pregnancies were as a result of adult men impregnating underage girls. the problem with his words and his apology is it perpetuates the, oh, she wanted it frame of mind. that somehow the victim is responsible for her own rape. >> congresswoman. >> i can tell you -- >> quickly as we talk about this and you point out the great distinction. action matters too. the republicans have drawn connections with todd akin and paul ryan now especially since the war on women and the words have erupted the co-sponsoring of the h.r. 212, the sanctity of human rights and the h.r. 3805. the ultrasound informed consent act. ensuring women seeking an abortion would receive an ultrasound. yesterday, senator mccaskell called the comments a peek behind the curtain. as we get the full look at what's happeni

this is quoting from the milwaukee journal sentinel in 1998. ryan, a 28-year-old first time candidate said he has consistently opposed legal abortion and makes only one exception, cases in which a doctor deems an abortion necessary to save the mother's life. he favors overturning the supreme court's landmark roe v. wade decision that made most abortions legal. and he said he would let the states decide what criminal penalties would be attached to abortions. this is a nice detail. ryan said he has never specifically advocated jailing women who have abortions or doctors who perform them, but he added, if it's illegal, it's illegal. so presumably the states would make it illegal and would prescribe jail terms for women and that would be okay with him. paul ryan even in his first run for congress was running on criminalizing abortion with no exceptions for rape victims and incest victims. and he was running on sending women and doctors to jail, right? if it's illegal it's illegal. paul ryan has said to have called todd akin yesterday to talk to him

when ryan was running for congress, the "milwaukee journal sentinel" reported this. "ryan has consistently opposed legal abortion and makes only one exception -- cases in which a doctor deems an abortion necessary to save the mother's life. he favors overturning the supreme court's landmark roe v. wade decision that made most abortions legal." now, but a year later, ryan was on the house floor, railing against the exception for the health of the mother. >> the health exception is a loophole wide enough to drive a mac truck through it. the health exception would render this ban virtually meaningless. >> republicans are holding paul ryan up as a man of very strong convictions, but he refuses to give direct and consistent answers about his anti-choice record. >> should abortions be available to women who are raped? >> well, look, i've -- i'm proud of my pro-life record. and i stand by my pro-life record in congress. it's something i'm proud of. but mitt romney is the top of the ticket, and mitt romney will be president, and he will set the policy of the romney administr

but in an e-mail to the milwaukee journal sentinel, she said if could i say something to ease the painvictims and their families, i would gladly do so. unfortunately, words do not begin to heal the pain they are going through. a possible connection between hate groups and the temple shooting is part of the fbi's investigation, but there's nothing at this point connecting anything or anybody except page to the shooting. >> misty has been very cooperative and we do not believe she had anything to do with this. we're not ruling out anything, we're being thorough, but we don't believe she had anything to do with it. >> ted is with me from oak creek. ted, how were they able to figure out what happened in those last minutes when they're now saying wade michael page killed himself? >> yes, we were led to believe that he was killed by that second officer who arrived on scene and shot him. well, now they say they've looked at some dash cam video from the patrol car of that second officer and they say it clearly shows that the officer shoots the victim, in this case the shooter, in the abdomen,

the senator also linked to an article from the milwaukee journal sentinel showing his close ties with karl rove, another republican that wants todd akin gone. it looks like michael steele was right on the money right here on "the ed show." >> the timing in my estimation could not be worse for the romney campaign and for the rnc going into this convention. >> so the last thing republicans want is a repeat of the 1992 gop convention. remember, infamous pat buchanan's culture war speech alienated moderates from the bush/quayle ticket and helped pave the way for bill clinton's first term? the romney campaign says it's too late. a senior official told talking points memo i think hurricane todd has already borne down on tampa and the damage has been done. that coming from the obama campaign. the romney campaign is trying to limit the damage and radio silence is the name of the game right now. >> you were one of only four local reporters to get to talk to him. >> yeah. >> and what did you ask him? >> i had about five minutes and we got through a fair amount of material, the one stipulation t
