that is what nick rahall said.e went on the radio last year, after we had 9000 people in west virginia having their insurance policies canceled, and what did he say? you know what, maybe having their insurance canceled was in their best interest. it's outstanding to me that you can be that out of touch. to think that you know what is best for the people. $892 billion in new taxes in obamacare. each and every person in here is paying for it. and our seniors are hit up particularly hard in the cuts to medicare and medicare advantage programs. it's an outrage. >> congressman rahall. >> we have to look back at what the situation was when the affordable care act was passed. insurance companies were raising premiums through the ceiling and cancelling policies at will. they had that right. and they were exercising it to the cruelest degree on so many people. health care costs were going through the ceiling and certainly something needed to be done. the status quo was unacceptable. the new law was designed in part to preve

nick rahall is not for us any more. >> and rahall sitting next to nancy pelosi, that is poison.ark udall is again focusing on the single issue he has highlighted the most, women's rights. in his latest add he attacks cory gardner for supporting anti-abortion legislation and then denying it. >> gardner's denials failed the independent fact check. >> in a less charitable interpretation is that you're not telling us the truth. >> whether it's your rights, freedom in his own words colorado cannot trust the real cory gardner. >> and greg orman is trying to hang on to what appears to be a slight lead against pat roberts. roberts is getting help from a pac run by kentucky libertarian center rand paul. >> pat roberts was one of the few true conservative senators who stood with rand paul and said stop sending money to radical organizations who kill our am basis ders and burn our flags. >> actually the u.s. does not intentionally send money to radical organizations. more outside groups are pooing resources in this campaign, the latest from the national education association. >> joni ernst

[laughter] >> congressman rahall?> first, if evan had been at disaster, he would have known cell phones didn't work in that area. that isay, in addition, the contribution he gave me was $500. i don't know about this money shenanigans that he's talking about. you know, since he brought up the issue of money, all we have follow the money. follow the money, my friends. look who the big backers of his are.ign don blankenship. brothers, each one and their wives have personally maxed out to him. follow the money. you whose side he's on and who is expect -- who he is expected to respond to after the election. so let's look at the facts of who race and let's decide is in the best interests of west virginia. ouris there fighting for west virginia values for the working men and women, to make sure? fighting for our coal miners? uwaa'm proud to have the endorsement? do you think they would endorse against black lung benefits? don't think so. did not denyd he selling his corporate ownership. you notice that? deception there. pret

only 32% are from individuals for nick rahall. in state versus out of state, 61% of my contributions are from in state. only 28% of his are from in state. we want to talk about who's owned, look at the facts. and read the law. >> first of all, never passed a law of two pages. i don't know what you are reading from. some type of summary printed up after the fact. i read that budget. i have it on my desk. no where is carbon mentioned it. it is a tax on billionaires and protects the social safety net for our working families in this country. that's what that budget was all about. let's get back to campaign finance. i believe all this dark money that is flooded our state should be disclosed. we have to do it in our personal campaigns. the p.a.c. funding that i have, 'm proud from the umwa, from business leaders. dentists, cyclists. it ties fully disclosed. that's what my support is all about. and i don't back away. i have a pledge that i put out there and signed, but unfortunately, my opponent doesn't want his dark money disclosed fro

congressman rahall? >> isis is a threat to america's national security. it must be taken seriously and no joking around here with this heinous group. it's vital that we cut the head of the snake off. president obama is conducting air raids as we speak to hit at the head of the snake. the command and control centers in iraq and in syria. i support those strikes. i voted for a limited authorization, not for these strikes, but a limited authorization to arm the moderate syrian rebels until december 15. should we have identified these moderate rebels years ago? sure. you bet we should have. to make sure the arms are not used against us in the future. it's a risky strategy upon by the president has embarked. i'm opposed to any boots on the ground. i opposed the iraq war. and i don't want to see us go through that again. any further actions that the president takes, in my opinion, deserves an open debate in the halls of congress, so that the peoples' representatives can speak so we can have a free flow of info

nick rahall is not for us any more. >> and rahall standing next to nancy pelosi, that's harsh. >>> mark udall is focusing on the single issue he has highlighted the most, women's rights. in his latest add the attacks cory gardner for supporting anti-abortion legislation and then denying it. >> his denials failed the independent fact check. >> you're not telling us the truth. >> colorado just can't trust the cory gardner. >> greg orman is hanging on to a tight lead. >> pat roberts was one of the true conservative who is stand with rand paul and said stop sending taxpayer's money where radicals storm our embassies, burn our flags and kill our diplomats. in fact, where paul suggests that bruce braley remain in a dead heat. more outside groups are pouring money into the campaign. here is the latest from the national education ocean. >> joni ernst is working to take money from public schools and give them to private schools instead. that's not right. >> ernst said she would not cut the money. she would give it directly. this is still a hot button at the end. >>> question number one on the st

nick rahal voted with obama for all of it. now obama says. >> i'm not on the ballad this fall. but make no mistake those policies are on the ballad. >> a vote for nick rahal is a vote for the obama agenda. >> that's a west virginia congressman. do you think that's an effective ad? >> yes. very effective. because obama has always been more popular than his policies. >> personally. >> yes. but that's been falling of late. now they're not too far apart. for him to talk about his policies this way i think it has democratic strategists cringing. >> well his approval nationally is at 40%. usually when it gets down there, a party gets nervous. in a lot of the states he's below 35% in places like arkansas. i think the democrats are extremely nervous. their base is depressed. they're back on their heels. unless they can produce turnout they have no chance. >> this reminds me of what happened to republicans in 2006 with george w. bush. they couldn't win and had no choice but to run away. when they did, it didn't help. plenty of candidates are bracing the clintons as the election nears. s

nick rahal has been there since has in therel since 1976. the margins have been getting smaller because president is woefully unpopular in this district. he is running against a democrat turned republican state senator who is a much stronger opponent than the last two that rahall has faced. are the onlyahall chess pieces in a much larger war between the parties. this race has seen more outside spending than any house race in the country. ads justion worth of through the end of september in southern west virginia, something like $60 for every person in the district. situation where democrats could really lose a seat that they felt for many decades. host: let's go to bill in pennsylvania. caller: thanks for taking my call. i was wondering if there is any pushback at all in the first session of congress, when the republicans voted against the time and a half a for comp time. some people really rely on that premium. it helps us stay in the middle class. republicans just overwhelmingly voted to end the time and half pay for comp time. i was wonde

that's just sort of where it all comes together and i think he's got a good campaign but if rahal cansurvive this thing it would be kind of pretty surprising because he's got sort of all -- it's like all the risk factors for a heart attack. i shouldn't use that metaphor but anyway, that's one is a lot tougher. >> in the response to the question about men there vendor is able to focus on the gender gap. the flipside of that is of course democrats have a huge problem with men voters, too and the gender gap goes both ways and you see that in all of the states right now where republicans are doing much better but not as well among the women and you're seeing it in the approval ratings across the board. we've seen that the gender gap since the ronald reagan election of 1980 and it stands into contracts but it's still a significant gap and we need -- the democrats also have significant challenges among males. >> not to disagree that there is one partial mitigating factor and i think this is one of the great and equities on the planet of women live longer than men so there are 53 percentage
