. >>> in the court of public decision, it seems an opinion has already been made, a "rasmussen poll" shows a growing number of americans support repeal, 60 percent of voters, at least somewhat favor a repeal, the highest level since said september, 34 percent are against that idea. we'll have a lot more throughout the morning on "america's newsroom". martha: the tax cut bill, clearing a key test vote in the senate and may be passed as early as today, we expect, but the measure may have a tougher time in the house, that is where many democrats have voiced objections to extending tax cuts to the wealthy. house lawmakers will debate this morning on this, with a vote expected this evening, under a deal between the white house and republicans. this is a deal that was so controversial amongst house democrats. all income earners would receive two-year extension if this bill was passed and we're seeing an indication of that on wall street. bill: we are, getting reaction already to tax cut votes, stock futures surging ahead of the opening bell today, investors also awaiting information on a k

i wrote it with scott rasmussen. it was not and isn't a defense of the ted purdy movement.and was designed to the an explanation of why 40% of american people identify with the tea party and 36% identify with the two major parties. it tells you something. two years ago at this time there wasn't it the party. what is it about american politics that allows a movement to grow that arguably elected 50 or 60 members of the house or two or two members of the senate and has effectively assumed power over one of the major political parties. i think you chose the wrong bill buckley analogy with all due respect. when i came of age politically, most typically was described to bill buckley's that he would rather be governed by the first hundred names and the massachusetts phone book than the harvard faculty. the reason dilute to that is it is one of the things driving the tea party. there is a sense that politicians of both parties, john is absolutely right, both parties are missing the boat. it is not only extremism and extreme rhetoric but failure to solve problems. if you look at th

scott rasmussen collects and distributes polling data. mr. schoen is a poster comic who had conch to make bloomberg. mr. schoen foc contributor to fox news. their book is "mad as hell," how do t. party is bundle and silly remaking the two-party system. we have a double out there, so we're going to be a little bit shorter. could you each get a two sentence description of what the tea party movement is? >> guest: tea party movement is a grassroots movement that has been disrespected by people in a political class because fundamentally the rejection of the political class. >> guest: i would say the group of voters, about eight quarter of the electorate that is basically saying we're fed up with washington, we are fed up with spending, we are fed up with taxing policies that don't reflect our values that we want to return to core principles. >> host: house speaker nancy pelosi says the tea party is a grassroots about an astroturf movement founded by a few rich people. what do you think of that? >> guest: the whole notion of the tea party movement

secretary general of nato rasmussen has said -- and i quote -- "the new start treaty would also pave the way for arms control and disarmament initiatives in other areas that are vital to the euro atlantic security. most important would be transparency and reductions of short-range tactical nuclear weapons in europe, which allies have called, have called for in our new strategic concept." this is a key concern for allies, not only those close toast russia's borders in light of the great disparity between levels of russian tactical nuclear weapons and those of nato. but we cannot address this disparity until the new start treaty is ratified, which is another reason why ratification would set the stage for further improvements in european security. unquote. franklin miller, the senior director for defense policy and arms control under president george w. bush, said -- and i quote -- "if we don't ratify new start, we're back to the drawing boards on some sort of approach to strategic arms and the tactical are still going to get left behind. i do not see a treaty in the future that will l

take a look at this "rasmussen poll".t 23 percent think the feds should have a direct role in setting nutritional standards for public schools, 17 percent say states should do it and on down the list it goes. >>> more than 20 demonstrators, arrested at a protest outside of a bank, blocking entry to a chase branch in california, complaining about unfair foreclosures, and it's not the first time. protestors are unhappy about banks' practices, saying greedy bankers should be cutting homeowners a break. >> it's fascism, as far as i'm concerned. >> wall street is out of control. they caused a major crash -- catastrophe for the average working person. megyn: do they have a point in neil booritz is my guest. they are upset because the banks are foreclosing on them and they think the banks should be working harder to come up with hole loan modifications and they called them greedy bankers and that woman, what they said was, quote, i think when 2 percent of the elite in this country own the bulk of the wealth, it's fascism, as far

the most recent rasmussen poll showed that american support repeal of obamacare by 21%. 58% are for repeal and 37% are not. independent voters support repeal by 24 percentage points, 59% to 35%. so i continue to come to the floor to bring out to our colleagues the concerns that i have about the health care law and the concerns that i hear at home from -- from patients and from providers and from taxpayers. and what i wanted to mention to you today, mr. president, is that recently the secretary of health and human services, kathleen sebelius, sent a letter to the members of the medical school class of 2014. these would be the incoming medical students, the first-year medical students in your state and from mine, and in the letter that goes to about 15,000 or 16,000 first-year medical students, she talks about this -- the health care law and talks about how she believes it will be good for them as medical students and good for their patients. but one of the -- one of the things that she -- that she talks about in the letter, interestingly enough, is that she said many of you and your sibling

so look at this latest rasmussen poll, this was the question.do you prefer merry christmas or happy holidays on store signs? 69% said merry christmas, 24% happy holidays. that was conducted just last week. what does that say to you? >> well, i don't think anyone who really has a sense of american culture is surprised by that. what i think is really surprising is that so many stores although i think they're moving away from this. so many stores because of the idea of not offending anyone, political correctness, wanted to go to the lowest common denominator and say happy holidays instead of merry christmas. it is the christmas season. >> uh-huh. even my kids are confused now living in this politically correct world. they're little. but they say to me happy christmas. so they're combining happy holidays and merry christmas because they don't know what the heck is going on. a bit of good news, though, i want to bring to you, dean, is that apparently this christmas village in philadelphia. they changed the name the other day to the holiday village an

now, how many students signing up at rasmussen college or morrison university or the institute for business and technology or beckfield college or chance letter university or ashworth college, florida coastal school of law -- how many students signing up for this know that they're owned by private equity investors or hedge funds that operate these schools? they sound like they're just legitimate kind ever colleges. an estimated 1..3 million out of 1.8 million students teandersing schools in 200 l were attending schools owned by wall street investor. out of 1 pie 8 million students going to for-profit compledges in 2008, 1.3 million students were attending colleges primarily owned by wall street investors. again, this landscape wasn't around 20 years ago. in fact, most of it wasn't around 10 years ago. here's how the hedge fund owners of westwood college -- westwood college down here someplace -- westwood college here. the hedge fund owners of westwood college state on their web site, "they always keep their eye on the ball of what is best for the business over the long term." not students,
