. >> ring of fire radio host mike papantonio is here with us. great to have you with us tonight, folks. thanks for watching. i don't think anybody got any smarter watching this crowd. moments ago eight republican hopefuls just wrapped up a debate at dartmouth college. it was boring. but i have to say it was the most detailed republican debate so far. the economy, jobs, and bailouts were the highlights. tonight mitt romney who clearly leads the field in recent polling made several statements this evening that just don't coordinate with past comments. >> would you or would you not be open to another wall street bailout? >> well, no one likes the idea of a wall street bailout. i certainly don't. >> you said that in 2008 that it prevented the collapse of the financial. >> there's no question that the risks they took was designed not to just keep the collapse of the individual banking solutions but to keep the country worth something. was it perfect? no. was it well implemented? not particularly. were there some institutions that should not have been

what's the message here, mike papantonio? what do you make of this?didates' handlers figured out how to get the fringe vote in the primaries. they're not thinking about the general election here, ed. what they've figured out, the handlers figured out the traditional republican party disappeared and you're left with a frankenstein monster called the tea party/republican party. you know, it's a political farce. there's no more, you know, there's no more goldwater or reagan conservative left. look, pat robertson, even pat robertson, the tv evangelist from the 700 club said, look, he's creeped out by how bad all these candidates look. he's saying the same thing i'm saying. they're all running the primaries. they've forgotten there's a general election ahead. this kind of character does have appeal. this character you saw puffing on the -- he has appeal to those fringe nuts but not the general population. >> yeah. cain's chief of staff went on fox today and here's what he had to say about the ad. >> i tell you, you walk into a veterans bar in iowa and they

i'm joined tonight by mike papantonio, host of "the ring of fire" radio show.hank williams jr. responded with this statement, mike. some of us have strong opinions and are often misunderstood. my analogy was extreme but it was to make a point. every time the media brings up the tea party, it's painted as a racist and extremist. there's never a backlash. no outrage to those comparisons. working class people are hurting and it doesn't seem like anybody cares. when both sides are high fiving it on the ninth hole, when everybody else is without a job. it makes a whole lot of us angry. something has to change, he says. the politics have to change. well, it would seem to me based on that statement right there, mike, this guy ought to be supporting president obama's jobs plan. what do you think? >> ed, it used to be when a washed up has been celebrity stops selling music or making movies, or when they became completely irrelevant, they had a place to go. they could show up for hollywood squares or maybe they could show up for pat robertson's "700 club." nowadays they
