mean then again you can look at the tea party and what it's become now and we're going to a story on this later on tonight shows that the fifteen members of congress that were elected on this wave of where the tea party were going fight against pressure interests they're just doing the same damn thing they're taking the same money from defense contractors and the bankers associations and so this is exactly what you don't want to happen or at least what occupy wall street doesn't want to have and i want to go on to ask you in terms of public perception and how you think that it's shaped i just mentioned this poll those that support the message are still pretty much the parting the message other people are starting from ups and thoughts and do you think that media coverage of the way city officials want to portray it has something to do with it you can't deny there is some clear bias when there blueberry yesterday comes out doesn't have a single word about the violence that police are using against protesters about the fact that journalists are getting roughed up and arrested and then goes and visits one police officer who unfortunately ended up in

this is the new tea party republican congress, where after the 2010 elections, one out of every threepublican members in the house is new. elected in 2010 in the great tea party election. and the tea party breed of republican, if you listen to the spin, they are supposedly not interested in your old traditional republican ideas. they're not interested, for example, in social issues and the whole gun, god and gay. they're populists, libertarian populists at that if you listen to the spin. they're a new breed of republican focused on economic issues. the house under republican control voted on a resolution to affirm that in god we trust is still our national motto. that was the house's business today. 2 1/2 weeks ago, they took care of not letting the epa regulate coal ash anymore. today they took care of the fact that in god we trust is our national motto. in god we trust was our national motto before today. it has been since the '50s. it is still our national motto. and by a vote of the house today, an official vote by the official business of the u.s. house of representatives today,

with the tea party supreme had a chance to see what the tea party looks like, what a tea party legislator is going to do once he or she gets to congress. what kind of policies they're going to propose, what what it would mean for voters back home. that's what they're reacting to. >> woodruff: i want to ask both of you what you think this could mean for the elections of next year, president, and congressional? andy, what do you see? >> well, if the republican party continues to have a less favorable image, it's seen as a party associated with extreme positions and off very conservative candidate it might hurt the very conservative candidate. the other thing it could conceivably do if there's a republican victor and the republican party and tea party don't recover, down the ticket republicans might do less well with regard to congress than they might have if the republican party and the tea party had stronger images. there's one thing i'd like that add... well, go ahead. >> woodruff: i wanted kate's input on that question if we could. kate, looking at next year, what do you think this could portend? >> i think it depends. if the nominee

>> yes, except that i think you cannot ignore the fact that we have in this tea party republican congress people who have taken an oath to be obstructionist. they're willing to block the creation of millions of american jobs in order to put the president out of his job. >> well, they didn't take an oath to put the president out of a job. they took an oath, did they not, to not raise taxes? >> i was referring more to mitch mcconnell's very direct statement that he has one priority. it is not the nation's priority of job creation. it is his political priority of putting the president out of a job. and i think that's becoming apparent to people, candy. over time, as people look at this, democrats, republicans, independents alike -- are all saying we're in a serious problem here in this country, we need a balanced approach, we need to make investments and we need everybody to pay their fair share. >> one more political question. bill clinton's coming out with a book soon. "the washington post" got a hold of it and printed some excerpts. in it they quoted the former president as saying about w

so these tea party guys must be totally bewildered that approval of congress is 8% or something and they're saying "all we are doing is what we told you we were going to do. you voted for us and now we're doing what we told you to do." they don't understand what people really voted for was kind of an amorphous sense that things were weren't getting better and maybe there was too much government. maybe they'd balance out. so i tried to be very specific in this book about things we could do. >> jon: but that's been a very successful tack is to say "get government out of our lives." have the democrats made the case that government should actually be in our lives and then made the case that it is effective and accountable in the 21st censurely. because it hasn't shown itself to be agile or effective in combating these crises. >> well, actually, i think... people judge it pretty... in a pretty straightforward way. trust in government was at an all time high when i left office because the economy was working and the government was working. trust in government goes down when the economy is in the

now these sentiments according to that poll are now more popular than the tea party movement they're more popular than congress they're more popular than the president and they're definitely more popular than herman cain but once again that didn't get an ounce of attention from the mainstream media they'd rather bring on the cream of the pundit crop to discuss herman cain's press conference and miss what sixty percent of americans are now very strongly concerned about. the long awaited i.e. a report has finally been released to media outlets the results are pretty much what's been expected and leaked over the last few days he went atomic agency said it has serious concerns about iran's nuclear activities and credible information that iran may have worked on developing nuclear weapons including testing of components components and building computer models of a nuclear warhead the report also says that iran appears to have carried out a nuclear weapons related activities as part of a structured program prior to two thousand and three and that iran might still be engaged and relevant research now prior to the rep

congress. this is a new entity. this is a new concept. we have never had this. it came about because the tea partybers of congress refused to do the regular business of the united states congress. raise the debt ceiling that had been raised under presidents since president eisenhower. including, many times come under president bush, both bush one and two. both fellow texans. a bipartisan responsibility to ensure that america pays its debts. we could not force the tea party to recognize their allegiance is to the american people. i have a great respect for my colleagues on the super committee and i wish them well. it is not regular order. frankly, we need to get back to work as members of congress. 435 in the house, 100 in the senate, we need to do the job. the speaker of the house working with the majority leader needs to work together to get people back to work. we need to ask people in the private sector to have a amounting amount of credit and cash on their books and join us in being a patriot to invest in the american people. host: manchester. good morning. caller: i hear you say that it is th

but when the tea party was accused of racist behavior, curing at members of congress, linked to the birther everybody says that's not the heart of the tea party. it's small government, lower taxes. if people think occupy wall street is going to be defined by these clashes with police, they're way off the mark. in fact, right now occupy wall street is more popular than the tea party according to the polls. if you -- let me finish. if you ask people in america, 76% say the economic structure favors the wealthy. 55% say -- >> chris: i want to let bill -- we're running out of time. go ahead, bill. you have 30 seconds. >> because there is a -- there are popular aspects of the -- if i were a liberal i would be terrified occupy wall street would discredit them. >> we have to leave it there. not settled but there's time to talk about it. check out panel -- we'll pick up with this discussion at foxnewssunday.com and post the video. next, our power player of the week.

whether it was george bush, the congress, republicans, atms, the tea party, he's always looking fourthsomeone to blame. >> the tsunami, earthquakes, but now he's blaming the american people. he are saying american people are lazy, american people have gotten soft. you think of it, the list is wrong. when all else fails you blame bush. but now he's taken a tact i've never seen a politician take, he's blaming the american people. they have gotten lazy, they have gotten soft, he's done it on multiple times and you have taken issue with it. >> i think it's a mistake. blaming other people works in a very narrow setting but it certainly doesn't work when you are the president of the united states. it is not stopping the harry truman the buck stops here model. people will not forget president obama had two years with a democrat house and senate. a super majority in each chamber. and he had his way with a whole series of legislative initiatives, and those initiatives have failed. he borrowed, what, $787 billion for his first stimulus. how did that work out? not so well. he promised that he wou
