the republicans, of getting rid of the effectively blocked voting of the electoral college, the unit ruleat everybody fights for pennsylvania. democrats usually get it. not always, reagan got it. why are they trying to break up the electoral college? so it's not going to be by congressional district rather than by state? >> because obama might win pennsylvania. and if he gets the most votes in pennsylvania, he gets all the electoral college votes. that's the way it has worked in most -- >> 23, i think it is. >> -- in most of the states forever. >> but you have to give republicans credit for this much. they're all about power, they're all about getting elected. and any advantage they can get to turn an election in their favor, they're willing to go for. so destroying the electoral college system, that's fine with them if it gives -- >> -- tom delay having a new redistricting halfway through the decade. >> exactly. >> what about this breaking up the electoral college vote? first of all, it destroys the power of the small states that tend to be republican, so this could be counterproductive,

now today so i do think a lot of enthusiasm from the members of the ruling united russia party seriously applauding about maybe a different version of medvedev that he supports prime minister putin for the presidency of next year what needs to be done to continue with the modernization of russia are internally and externally do you think. first of all we heard a lot of talk about modernization incumbent president actually. in the prime minister putin who said he supports the policy of modernization but he also if you read it what is important is that both men have a different idea i think different attach a different name to modernization from it to talking about an essential means. county any type to become is to state what the rest have treated for and what they for. any cause in modernization which incompetence fear surprise no chance economy but the political freedoms the civic and liberal right and. private sectors have to be part of the modernisation who can stand for more than a station i simply does not want the rest of it was waiting for he was hoping for and probably also monke

politicians that's why this report doesn't even matter until we can do something to change the citizens united ruling and change the way that corporations donate money to these politicians so it's really discouraging but that's why when i come on the show i talk about the fact that we need you know our own arab spring something that al gore said we really need to fight against this corporations are going to do he think about it they're taking advantage of the system politicians aren't going to do anything about it they're getting rich from the corporations the american people need to do something about it so it's important for the american people to really look at this report and get angry about it and really protest what we're seeing here in this country by the way in the beginning you mentioned how ford is taking advantage of these corporate tax loopholes one of very underreported story is the fact that ford motor company is going to spend nine hundred million dollars in india to create a new factory and that factory will employ five thousand indians not american workers so our corporate tax loopho
