one of the things you're saying you'll get blowback for is rino. why?n republicans are fighting each other it's not over a serious policy issue, it's over a tactic. do we vote to have government shutdown or not to. everybody was against obama care. it really wasn't a policy issue, it was a tactical issue. the point is i don't think either side is a moral issue. it's a matter of tactical preference. >> you believe this is damaging to the republican party? >> very. >> in 2014 you wrote they should have a clean sweep but shouldn't have in fighting because it hurts their own party. >> we should have a banner year in 2014. the only thing that will keep us from it is in-fighting and back biting. when you call somebody a rino, who gets to decide what the purity of a republican is. has god died and left someone in charge of the republican party and forgot to tell the rest of us? i don't think so. i look at it this way. every republican i know who is elected to any office is closer to me than harry reid and nancy pelosi. i'd much rather have republicans who may

and you are a rino. >> yes. a rino the other part of it though is the media's role in this. if you say that you are a conservative, essentially you are saying that you eat babies. you are. >> for the media. >> creates a disconnect about what people say and what people really feel. so you may say you are a liberal, but you may not be. >> a aapostasy by the way. >> 53% of american adults who have children 18 or younger eat with the family six or seven nights a week. that's a lot. that's a lot. there is a chart. okay. so 81% either four, five, six, seven nights a week they're eating with ther chins. >> that's a lot of numbers. >> that's surprisingly, pleasantly surprised. it's refreshing is what it is. >> you have you ever eaten with an urchin. have you ever seen what happens? >> i don't think we are going back to the 50s, the leave it to beaver era. what are they talking about at the table? >> they are not talking about anything. they are texting. i put chech up on an urchin's machine the other day. >> that's true

anyone not here is a rino. if there is going to be an organization can set that standard, it is you. you are the body of policymaking for the party on the national level. maybe you should do that. maybe you shouldn't. i would certainly ask this. that we would accept the reality that if you are with me, 90%-70% of the time, you are still 70% closer to me than i am to nancy pelosi and harry reid and barack obama. i will take you any day, any time.

warning iran is not yet ready for business they reality already have he is quite different as he's a rino going to explain. this could very well be the world's newest gold rush bots in the not so wild east a population of some seventy five million people a youth literacy rate of ninety percent. and some of the world's largest oil and gas reserves in a country that's been isolated from the world for decades if this doesn't sound like a recipe for business but very little else will. right now iran is ready to host invest in segments like building royal ways both construction oil production another industries linked with oil tehran appears to have fulfilled the first two requirements of the recent geneva agreement by halting production of high grade uranium and stopping its most powerful centrifuges now it's waiting for the other side in the talks to deliver on their promises and ease some of the sanctions iran's new president seems to be in with enthusiasm and determination to show his countries are ready for a new era of business that figure out their own growth iran's economy has the pote

looking for somebody who is eighteen thirteen forty am and you know how to look like their father a rino like that that it's just a seditious the executes problem to be on the server on over here so that i was completely around like a fair bet they picked the wrong now as the media today. it won t be smiling today. some swedish marine who apparently hasn't been too much time on his hands the group re enacted the entire race like the routine for the increase is the text. though. i mean three season. it's not a soul in its video accept that it is a page that is her last incline so my concern is huge especially appealing to make fun of courts table outside coming up next here on three of an easement of forty five the feedback it smart ports to pick it up by. the i know the in it. is you. the spx i got that we ought to be the chef of the list of trees as part of the white dots that are just a blank. have we won stared at me want equality and human rights people did not start there this easy to take the opportunity that presented that she had beaten him. the skill of our borrowed this a gorge

is sticking to its positional blaming the local authorities there and as a rino going to reports it appears this scene is being set for the final act. as rocks went flying and police buses went up in flames the opposition leaders very quickly found the man responsible for the mayhem ukraine's president if they're going to forage for it is that if we demand that you stop the escalation of the situation get the police off the streets dissolve the parliament and calling for early parliamentary and presidential elections are going to not repeat the fate of child cesco and get aberrated the fact that the riots were started by several hundred protesters hailing from the ultra nationalist camp on the independence square seems to have been swept under the carpet the police had to withstand a shower of rocks and molotov cocktails the government and abolition of criticism for using water cannons and rubber bullets to contain the raging crowd. think recent tension in ukraine is a direct consequence of the government failing to acknowledge their legitimate grievances of its people the us will continue

get rid of owl of the rino, including you, speaking of me.f someone is more pure republican than someone else. that one individual has been given or taken the role of keeper of the kingdom. i fought in the trenches of republican politics for two decades. i am not pretending i am lord of who the republicans are versus the rinnos. >> they all need to be fighting for the same fight, we the people and get rid of those who don't or won't. and jane expressed common sense. she posted this. stand together. a party divided can't win. >> and raymond davis sent this message to us. quit beating on each other in the debates. we need to be the world leader respected by other leaders and secure our borders and stop rewarding those here illegally. and tell the truth and get our house in order. our thanks to all who sent in comments. someone who grease with me 90 percent of the time, is not my enemy. fakszs on the republican party are spending time and money to attack republicans. i wonder if they want to win elections and save the country or proudly boast to

that is why i have asked republicans to stop using the .erm rino let's stop calling each other somehow less republican than someone else. be for the person you are for. sometimes inking our attempt to fight for some level of artificial purity, i want as, did they vote on a particular standard what it means to be a republican? have you done that this week question mark i haven't seen in the papers. i am waiting. let us know if that happens this week. representatives. each of our states reelect you. you come and represent us as a party. i don't member the rnc has said here is what one must believe to the nth to be a real republican. .nyone not here is a rino if there is going to be an organization can set that standard, it is you. you are the body of policymaking for the party on the national level. maybe you should do that. maybe you shouldn't. i would certainly ask this. realitywould accept the that if you are with me, 90%-70% of the time, you are still 70% closer to me than i am to nancy pelosi and harry reid and barack obama. i will take you any day, any time.

author of romney care in massachusetts and was a moderate and had been referred to a four years as a rino, 93 plus percent of tea party supporters turned out to vote for him. there is your answer. >> one thing. i agree they do not want to start another party at all. they made a big deal that they were against the republicans and democrats both as far as party establishment. we don't like george w. bush at all. that's what they were saying. i think they know their strength is that they are willing to lose, to see the republicans lose. i think this is true. there will to put a tea party candidate in a moderate district even if it is harder to win for that candidate. that is where their unlike the democratic left. it is much more concerned with winning the general election. >> thank you. there's a gentleman with a bowtie. we will start with him for our questions. >> for rapoport, i am curious if you have any data about the tea party and turnout. we just had data drop on us but overall we know that turnout was down in 2012. was or any evidence that the tea party supporters stayed home and i c

. >> christie will learn a lesson here that the rinos have not come to his defense. >> why he argues self-inflicted wound does not always kill. just ask. bill clinton. or richard nixon. or ronald reagan? each side, all sides, beginning with the, how did chris christie handle this opening day nearly two hour long press conference? who better to ask than our own bret. he handled all the questions. how did he do? >> almost running out of questions. it was 108 minutes for this press conference, and from a lot of accounts, left and right, they give him good marks for being conciliatory, apologetic, using the right tone, and the right tenor; there are still a lot of questions, and there are probably going to be other elements to this story. it is one of those stories that is probably going to have a lot of legs. you have talk about all of the coverage it's received so far. one of his aides pled the fifth, took the fifth today. in testimony up there in new jersey. you have a number of different investigations that are still going on. and whilewhile the governor insists he didn't know about

having an impact, even as the media -- the tea party operative they are saying that at least we beat a rinoin a primary. this will be one of many headlines looking back in 2012. on the summary piece, what we argue is that it strategically places things in the republican party and has the possibility to cause headaches forward. we can argue far longer. if we go back to the 1960's, the idea of explicit racism within the republican party was rebuffed and told this won't work going forward. even for the tea party today if there is an argument made or a question asked, they have a response of some kind. it may not always be the strongest response, but they know what lines of attack are coming and what they stand for and believe in. that is the intellectual history. the simple idea that the tea party is not dead. if you look at the reports from this week, we can see where there are arguments to be made that the tea party is suffering. you look at the alabama house race where the chamber of commerce through an $240,000 over the last two weeks. it prevented a tea party house member from entering th

wouldn't pretend that i'm lord over determining who the real republicans are versus the so-called rinos. i think wendy harris has it right. here's what she posted. they all need to be on the same page, fighting for the same fight, we the people, and get rid of those who don't or won't. and then jane gladden also expressed some real common sense. she posted this. stand together. a party divided cannot win. and raymond davis sent this message to us. quit beating on each other through all the ridiculous debates. we need to be the world leader respected by other leaders. and really secure our borders, and stop rewarding those here illegally. the most important thing, tell the truth. and get our own house in order. also, our thanks to all who sent in comments, but one thing ought to be certain. someone who agrees with me 90% of the time is not my enemy. if factions within the republican party insist on spending time and money to attack other republicans, i wonder if they want to win elections and save the country or just proudly boast to their party pedigree. i'd rather have a loyal dog who
