sharron angle, just too extreme.prove this message. >> mike: when i see spots on this, having been on the receiving end of this stuff in 20 years, my first reaction is not get angry and chuckle. you have dig around and come up with strange contortions to come to these conclusions. but if i were just watching this for the first time, you know, maybe i'd be scared to death of sharron angle. rerespond to this ad and tell me is that reflective of who sharron angle is? >> you hit the point here. this man is desperate and telling half-truths. of course, when you tell a half-truth, that's no truth at all. i am pro-life. i am very pro-second amendment. i like to cut costs when i can, especially in programs that the government seems to have a resolving door on, like prison. so all of those things he's told the audience a half-truth and then said that's extreme. to me, the person who cannot tell the whole truth is the one who is extreme and very desperate. >> mike: so, you're not really worried -- i mean you have answers to ea

i find that interesting, sharron.se are the views that you took that helped you win the nomination. >> well, certainly, this tea party movement is a mainstream movement of mainstream america, the silent majority that won'ten silent any longer and they know that the common denominator in all of those policies you've just named is that push or that promoter, that's let's make a deal, harry reid. >> you know, one of the spots he's trying to attack you, we're going to play it, i want you to listen to it. i know you've heard it before, but i'd like to give you an opportunity to respond to it. here is harry reid telling everyone in nevada why you should not be the next u.s. senator. let's watch. >> what do you call a candidate, the way things are going the time may be coming for second amendment remedies, an armed response to our government? who says a teenager rape victim should be forced to have the baby. who proposes scientology programs for prisoners and who says that social security and medicare violate the ten command

plus, sharron angle's habit of denying what she said on tape. we'll listen to the denials and then go to the videotape. love this job. >>> also, i just went spent the entire day here on the irish isle with bill clinton and got a chance to talk to him about america's positive role in the world these days and what a former president can get done. our new nbc news/"the wall street journal" poll ranks him bill clinton, as the most popular political figure in america. clinton faced the democrats' collapse this year. and also why are republicans covering up for bp? duh. and who is denying subpoena power to the president's commission investigating the gulf oil disaster? same response. what's wrong with putting the oil folks under oath? >>> and let me finish tonight with the important lessons the current president can perhaps learn from a former one. all that is ahead. but first, let's check on the latest polls, the "hardball" scoreboard. let's start with the senate race in colorado, where a new poll by the democratic senatorial campaign committee has s

does sharron angle want to wipe out social security?k that she wants to wipe out social security, and i also think that's an effective ad. i think it's a very good ad. i think that you could do a whole psychobabble segment just on her ay reid's gaffes. calling president obama a light-skinned african-american with no negro dialect. i think that you could do your own psychobabble on what her ay reid has said and what he's supported. i think that's an effective ad -- >> she's not going to get rid of social security, is that right? >> sharron angle does not have the ability to single-handedly wipe out social security. >> why did she vote on it? what's her vote? she's stated that she wants to get rid of it. >> do you think a bill that will come before this senate to wipe out social security? of course not. >> i think so, privatizing it front in the market. >> you know that's not going to happen because it will not go over well. >> hold on, but on the record, she's said, and she's repeated the fact that she wanted to phase out medicare and so

she is not sharron angle.not carl pal lad deadino. >> i think she beats out carly fee orreno in the like ability department. >> talking to voters outside a polling place in newark, yesterday in delaware, i was struck by the fact that all the republicans are really in a message-sending mood. the democrats were kind of slinking in and out of the polling place to do their duty but the republicans were coming in and out with a sense of purpose. >> make it sound like they are walking their dogs. >> sort of what the scene was like. but the -- they were angry and they all wanted to vote, almost all of them wanted to vote for christine o'donnell. not all of them did because of some of the negative advertising that mike castle put out there, but all of them knew that she, not he, was the way to send a message to washington. >> more fun to vote for her, more juice? >> yes. >> now the question i'm getting from a lot of people -- >> a lot of women by the way. >> a lot of he pr-- the produce want this maybe it is whistling

my opinion, no, sharron angle's admission.a house party this month, the nevada republican senatorial candidate was asked about her fund-raising efforts, miss angle explains she needs a friendly press outlet where she can make a plea for donations. and while she lauded rush limbaugh's show for this purpose, her heart belongs to foxy. the audio was provided to the "las vegas sun." >> but here's the deal. when i get a friendly press outlet, not so much the guy that's interviewing me, it's their audience that i'm trying to reach. they say, bill o'reilly, you better watch out for that guy, he's not necessarily a friendly. doesn't matter. his audience is friendly and if i can get an opportunity to say that at least once on his show, when i said it on sean hannity's television show, we made $40,000 before we even got out of the studio in new york. it was just great. >> is that from the staff? the other benefit of the go-to guy, softball sean, is getting that national audience while bypassing the national, you know, news. as catalog b

this is true for sharron angle too. both with angle and o'donnell, when i hear them talking about conservative hot button issues, i don't hear it as amateurish. they have both sound very media trained and savvy. they get their subject/verb agreement right more often than i do. i hear them on culture war issues that republicans don't want to run on. if you're talking about telling people that having sex by themselves is a form of adultery and condoms spread hiv, you're a cultural warrior and this isn't supposed to be a cultural war election. >> somewhere donna shalala is smiling about the amount of coverage about masturbation. i think what sharron angle shows and christine o'donnell, there was a moment when the mainstream press fell for it that this tea party was this totally new thing and this never happened before in american politics. these are the same cultural warriors. the same -- in some ways the exact same people. the same that came to washington under ronald reagan and that pursued impeachment against bill clint

sharron angle, 42%. harry reid, 41%. if you're the democrat, roland martin, you've got a problem. >> you've got a huge problem because also what is the consistent message? you can paint sharron angle, you can paint any of these candidates as being extreme, but you have to still address the fact that democrats have controlled congress for four years. the president has been in the white house for two years. what is the argument you're making to the public that what we did made a difference to get the economy back on track? you could talk about putting it r, putting it d, but you have to clearly explain it. and i still believe democrats are failing on this. as long as they keep trying to run away from what they've done you can't win. >> this is about personality. you cannot make harry reid into a likable candidate in nevada. you may be able to do that nationally. they know him. he's polarized. if this race is about him, and don't think you can't knock out majority leader, ask tom daschle. the bottom line is nevadans have th

like the self-proclaimed witch, christine o'donnell, or sharron angle, who says -- sharron angle whoays that a woman who's raped really shouldn't have the right to have an abortion by law. so the gop's out of control of their party. i know you disagree with me on this a little bit, ed. and day to day i change my mind about it, but i've got it tell you this, i look at this today, the gop has lost control of the party. you had that nut jim demint stand up and bragged about the fact, ed, bragged about the fact that they have cleansed their party of moderates. and what is left at the bottom of the barrel is sarah palin. and she is a real contender in the gop mind, she's a perfect fit. the best i think in progressives could hope for is sarah palin but i've got tell you something, just like you say, every time, every hour that you're on the air, it's up to us to lose this and as progressives we will lose this no matter how crazy sarah palin and the rest of the leadership is. we can lose this thing. >> mike papantanio, always great to have your take in the program. >>> tonight in our text s

sharron angle. there seems to be a schism here.there seems to be a divide. >> yeah, look i'm not certain of this. there were conservatives on both sides of this race in delaware. one thing that o'donnell is now going to have to answer in the general election that she didn't in the primary is her own checkered background. you made my case. you made out a list of the things that mike castle had done wrong. you didn't make out a list of the things that o'donnell had done right. i've met her. i wasn't frankly impressed as her abilities as a candidate. again, the serious questions how does she make her living? why did she mislead voters about her college education? how come it took nearly two decades to pay her college bills so she could get her college degree? how did she make a living? >> sean: this is probably one of the few times they are going to i found her quite impressive. more importantly, she is a solid conservative. i think what people are saying in this primary, in this case and -- in race and across the country in the other

and it's not, go star sharron or go harry. it's kill sharron and kill harry. the animosity out there on this state toward these candidates is just astonishing. >> vaughn, every cycle, we say, it's never going to get stranger than this, than that. this cycle of course, every election cycle takes on its own personality. this is one where it feels like all of the venom you read about on the left and the right is now starting to be channelled at rallies. >> i think you've seen that throughout the campaign, frankly. you've seen commercials that talk about get your arms together and let's go against this federal government. you've heard -- >> some absurd rhetoric like what newt gingrich has used. some crazy rhetoric. >> that's right. and you know, as a result of the campaigns using that rhetoric, what do we expect to start happening other than opening brawls at campaign events? >> you know, at one point, you do wonder if this is going to actually start to turn people off. you know, the irony of what colbert's doing, he and jon stewart are trying to have this rally o

>> you heard sharron angle wants to wipe out social security, now she says it's like welfare., in your article, you summed this up, you said that harry reid's ads have accused angle of doing everything from siding with domestic abusers to inciting an armed revolt. has she actually down that? -- done that? >> i think the domestic abuse spot is a little overdone. she did vote that way, but she and about eight other, i believe, conservative republicans had some problems with how that was going to be executed, the a.g. and others supported it, but that is typical of sharron angle's antigovernment feel to her record. the other ones i think are legitimate issues. she did talk about second amendment remedies, she wacked off a little on what she was saying but clearly, that was careless rhetoric, and listen, her social security position is really -- has really, really hurt her because what she said in the primary, which is we need to phase it out, has generally changed and morphed into and i want to save it during the general election. we've seen candidates frequently in election cycl

type sr1 for nevada's sharron angle. sr2 for ken buck of colorado. sr3 for delaware's christine o'donnell. or sr4 for kentucky's rand paul. we will bring you the results at the end of the program. still ahead, stacking the audience for the president's next town hall. >> chris: senate majority leader harry reid says he will tack amnesty amendment to so-called policy bill. the "dream act" will be for those who meet certain requirements to become legal residents. immigration reform push this close to mid-terms is a political move. calculations about the mid-term elections definitely are playing in the current debate over whether to extend the bush tax cuts. as correspondent molly henneberg shows us in politics timing is everything. >> president obama speaking in the rose garden today called on congress to get going and extend the bush tax cuts for families making less than $250,000 a year. >> doesn't it make sense for to us move forward with the tax cuts that we all agree on? >> reporter: however, senate democrats led by majority leader harry reid have

i don't think the lead over sharron angle is good it is as small as it is.there is sanger amongst independents and low enthusiasm among democrats he could be in trouble. >> in 1968 you saw the challenge by gene mccarthy against then president johnson. even though he didn't beat him in new hampshire he sent a signal. johnson was out of the race and bobby kennedy was in the race. i see evidence of people wanting to buck the establishment pretty much all over the country. >> i see 1994 all over again. the big difference is in 1994 the republican party began the year and spent the entire year on the same team. there was no real difference within the republican party between the establishment and the party base. the assumption of the party base is if we elect a republican, any republican, it will be good. the party base got wise to the establishment's trick. you are seeing the same level of anger toward the democratic party, the same resentment toward a democratic president. it is directed at the republican establishment for always putting up these candidates who

they want the moderates to lose so they could face rand paul and sharron angle, marco rubio, now christine o'donnell do they now stand naked before an enemy they once thought weak? and what does the tea party takeover mean for 2012? does the national party get on board and nominate a right-winger? are we looking at 1964 all over again? let me finish with a thought, a lock at the voter rage we are seeing this year and why no one in office should feel immune to t and we have one important election result right now it is made official late this afternoon, in the republican primary for the united states senate up in new hampshire, former state attorney general kelly ayotte, sarah palin's choice, beat back a strong challenge from conservative, la mon taine. ayotte won by less than 2,000 votes. we start tonight with the smell of battle lingers from last night, grand old tea party.

the same thing happened to sharron angle. both were not supposed to win.id because they were tea party candidates. the national media rained down, these people don't though what they are doing, they are not qualified. sharron angle went down. she has had several months to build back up. why? she went out there, answered the questions, don't the interviews and convinced people, i looked at this, they don't even ask that question now. now she is ahead. at lost in the competitive race. the question is whether christine o'donnell in a compressed window, angle had months, o'donnell has weeks. can she do the same? that's why sean's interview was vitally important for her. she has to go out in debates and other interviews and convince people she is qualified. >> greta: back to the qualified. what does it mean to be qualified? what is the qualification? not the requirement. what does it mean to be qualified? >> the qualifications in the constitution you have to be 30 years of age and citizen of the country. the point is, you are qualified based on whether the peop

we have rand paul in kentucky and sharron angle and christine o'donnell.mean, we have some candidates, folks. this is no longer voting for the least worst on the ballot. >> get out there and vote for the worst on the ballot. in case you're interested there's more values action to be had this weekend. the director of the american families association brian fisher speaks tomorrow. we told you about him when he proposed a ban on new mosques. according to him each islamic mosque is dedicated to the overthrow of the american government. he speaks tomorrow. there he is on the value voters summit between the duggars who have all the children in the world and newt gingrich. nate weigel attended today's summit. now he's backed down from the mountaintop. good evening. big picture first. the tone there was what? was this their mission accomplished day? was anybody wearing a flight suit? >> now, but it was jooub lant. it had a theme and exemplified by christine o'donnell and we're all going to see at least six more weeks. she was the embodiment of everything these act

and it's not go, sharron or harry. it's kill sharron and kill harry. the animous out there on these state toward these candidates is just astonishing. >> vaughn, every cycle, we say, it's never going to get stranger than this, than that. this cycle of course, every election cycle takes on its own personality. this is one where it feels like all of the venom you read about on the left and the right is now starting to be channelled throughout the rallies. >> i think you've seen that throughout the campaign, frankly. you've seen commercials that talk about get your arms together and let's go against this federal government. you've heard -- >> some absurd rhetoric like what newt gingrich has used. some crazy rhetoric. >> that's right. and you know, as a result of the campaigns using that rhetoric, what do we expect to start happening other than opening brawls at campaign events? >> you know, rat one point, you do wonder if this is going to actually start turning people off. you know, the irony of what colbert's doing, he and jon stewart are trying to have

i thought sharron angle was as good as it got, baby. not true. >> yesterday news, sharron angle. >> thank you, keith. appreciate it. >>> thanks to you for staying with us at home for the next hour. after a day or so of marching out of step and hath each other for it, republicans today got in line. right behind their senate candidate in delaware, christine o'donnell. which means they are plating their political trough with christine o'donnell just as the country is learning lots, lots, lots, lots, lots more about christine o'donnell. >> there's also the issue of murder with vincent foster. >> we'll also tonight have more of my exclusive interview with the vice president of the united states, joseph biden. and there is a political mailer out there that smells like garbage. it has been sent to republican voters. i have a theory it may be art. that's coming up all this hour. >>> we begin with the senate candidate who appears to be following the same trajectory that sarah palin went through in 2008. that trajectory from more or less profound

and maybe not in nevada where sharron angle is really out there and maybe not in delaware, same with christine o'donnell. so you have to look at it a little more closely the younger viewers as we suggested might not remember the republican party that we described. but it really was, as just that brief videotape clip of william f. buckley suggested, really a different beast than what we have today. correct? >> no, it definitely was. if you can go back in time a little bit, if you permit me, teddy roosevelt was the proto typical progressive. and even richard nixon was in favor of national health care and established the environmental protection agency. ronald reagan made a deal with tip o'neill essentially to save social security for a generation. george h.w. bush raised taxes to help try to balance the budget. even george w. as you pointed out was for immigration reform. so these were all republicans who wanted to contribute to the discussion and who wanted, they thought, to make government run better, not to run away from government. >> and that raises i guess let's get to that overa

sharron angle is a hypocrite.doesn't want the government involved in health caper but it turns out, she gets coverage through her husband's federal employee health program. and democrat charlie melan son is pulling out his constitution card. with us tonight laura flan ehost of grit tv and free speech tv and the author of the upcoming book "at the tea party." and also with us republican strategist john fiery. john, what did you make of the president's statement to the question about his faith? how does that that play in your opinion, as a conservative? >> hey, listen, i'm very happy that president obama is a christian. i thought that his comments about why he became a christian are fitting for what he believes and i thought that was all well and good. i don't disagree with president obama on those types of issues. what i disagree with him on is his role as president. i don't think that he's a very good president and i don't think that he's showing the right leadership or not the right focus on jobs which i think is

if you look at sharron angle, she is emblematic of this. don't think there is any way that any of us who follow politics intensely in room would say that harry reid is going to win his re-election in nevada given his negatives. it took angle to keep him afloat. if you look at the money he has on hand, there will be onslaught on advertising. i would watch nevada to see what is happening. in fact, today, when you look at what harry reid doing for the dream act for immigrants he is trying now to energize the hispanic base that angle has no chance with the base. >> bret: early in this when she won the primary, everyone wrote her off and said she's toast, much like christine o'donnell. in early polls that reid was up big against angle and now she is up by one. >> but my retort is this. if you consider the enemy of the political season, come from the tea party folks and those who say throw the bums out. i can't think of bigger bum in republican eyes than harry reid, unless you say nancy pelosi. but the idea he's tied, is different from what we pr

how do you know sharron angle will be bad for nevada workers? her tell you yourself, as your u.s. senator, she was quoted as saying i'm not in the business of creating jobs. she said that back on may 14th of this year. >> right. >> what's your take on all of this, and will it be effective? >> well, i think the most important thing, ed is that we tell the story about who these candidates are and what they believe and then when we talk about the republican economic policies, it's not just the past, it's the president -- it's the present. it's what we fight every day on the senate floor and it's the future. it's where they want to go. you know, we spent eight years digging this huge hole. we've had 18 months to begin to climb out of it. but these guys are now saying, for instance, oh, we should continue tax cuts for the wealthy. where are the jobs? we had ten years of tax cuts for the wealthy. where are the jobs? and now we hear from people like sharron angle saying that it's not her job to -- to focus on jobs. well, i can tell you, what senator ha
