And I commit to one match one time -- -- I'm sure you don't remember but I -- are there where there. And and I but my understanding now is they they yes it around with your district what happened. You know what actually occurred was the district that we wanted torching their congressional district which -- was of this orchestra made people must won districts. Which is it 1% registered advantage of Democrats over Republicans who want but their percentage points and the outlook legislature took -- -- people want. So people obviously but a new district opened up -- which territory top -- this new district was what. I was currently representing investment all of them are obvious county. But a -- people are all the way up to the account rely. So we'll be running your commercial district eighteen which they are plus one districts we will lose. All these island itself. -- you're no longer my congressman. Yeah out -- -- -- probably Charlie won't be after January. Yeah that's what Rush Limbaugh I was a little upset about it it a lucrative as well. That's too bad I I like I really you know my congressman -- -- Barney Frank and -- -- he's probably gonna be succeeded by Joseph Joseph Joseph Kennedy I mean so obviously obviously I would prefer to have dual -- have to make a phone call somebody.

So -- you what's Leo well what's the status hero by of the campaign I mean we just saw that -- come out yesterday up from the New York Times and quinnipiac and a and -- was that after the Democrats in Florida but they had the they have Obama had a while Romney in Florida and I don't I don't see it myself -- -- Naw I I think right now -- -- continuing -- realize at least fold up their talk about so registered voters and not. Likely voters and that's going to mean a big difference. You know the president had a great opportunity. Back in 248. No one do we -- no one that would expand Fort Stewart for a lot of hope -- change. Yet people like Robert Wexler take it around a lot of Jewish synagogue stop border is let's be very honest President Obama is not the most eligible for the so I expected now and you look at the fact that unemployment -- -- ice found itself orders -- factors. Nine point 2%. You know about all these -- eight point now percent. Barton county eleven point eight cents latency count. And that you -- relations with the State of Israel. The president has put on the -- have to work very ordered south border even forget. The -- -- did last summer and and I want -- about what percentage points. I don't see that happen this. That's good I am I'm glad to hear that now now -- I -- I read something recently that some some moon bat tight bug. Pack with seven conference. And they said that you were enemy number one and that they had to knock Q -- you know kill as as Shakespeare would say killed a serpent and its egg. You know because you were gonna become what you gonna become more more powerful as time went on and they were really scared of you know the they -- that I like they called -- racist among other things. Well you know I think you know this shows -- really really evolved in the United States of America where a 51 year old blacked out on the in the city of Atlanta and swords was ultimately it's. You don't appear on the left there's absolutely in boulder and indeed because you know we've got George Soros is -- a little odd million dollar and so simple act against me. Right is that admit five million just against you alone. Yeah and out of it 5%. Edge for a republic in a basically Republican district. There or they don't want you don't want me around there and I'm it'll be number one. For the Democrats -- Obama has come obviously Pelosi. Even the Democrat opponent who was third with 29 year old so. There's there is up but half a million dollar to two simple packet well so this is -- understand military terminology. They're just gonna bring themselves are you sure -- gamblers when I'm living elsewhere in jail. That's. That's that is amazing that the they the -- the legislature could give you when he more cover them that's mean or are you dissatisfied with the local with the way the legislature treated yeah I mean and what's it's a Republican quality.

Like the old career real I don't really speaks in his life right up to him to prove it to any doubt. How about this I have a list of names and these are the names of the people -- who say Mitt Romney doesn't pay his taxes and I'm not gonna release the names it's it. They -- it if it does a Republican did that congressman that caught McCarthyism when MacWorld. Well absolutely right but the big news when you cannot run on a record. You cannot talk about the economy look -- we we have one point opt percent GDP growth in the United States of America when you look comparatively. What -- war with the way -- administration they were seven point 1% GDP growth actually with senator Harry Reid should be doing. Is passing appropriations bill to pass the budget over the Internet do not the senate if he's running. But unfortunately investors they have their nature of the beast -- -- -- -- is that we have what we want to DC as well got to vote them out. They're just gonna try to get that situation rabbit down a hole and not these focus on the real sure issues I don't think anyone the United States of America sit around the dinner table. It concern about Mitt Romney's actual terms what their concern about this and they stand there all their concern about lot B able two you know it's either have a job. While military continue to be -- be superior know toward. Military and not you know this sequestration the audience they're concerned about you know stabilized and are actually. They have an economic future they're concerned about an 85% increase. And gas prices they're concerned about now where at least forty secure I over the Americans in poverty. That's what they're concerned about they're not concerned about the -- silliness. A little bright -- toward the Leo -- so you'd want. That's a good way to put it. Congressman has -- -- honor I'd say they'll do all -- two other reiterate our position that we get drafted you to be our Carter and because we don't have any real representation with mr. Markey.

Amid RI you go out there on TV and say that this woman is an Indian win. You know there's absolutely no evidence whatsoever. -- you know the truth is an obstacle. To political it really is light light itself vampire. And and so they don't live in the -- the truth I mean when you sit here you listen to some of the papers -- more debate.

Does stand up for the you know that was sort is so true conservative principles and values which. Is the fundamentals of this country and what I out of all dispelled the sensible. Congressman how you go along with Debbie Wasserman Schultz. Uh oh I don't know why there's. You know you're not supposed to do it and I four straight bird that's just gonna be there. Either way they like it is I'm not going anywhere any time soon. The world war where two more calls for congressman. Allen west that will let him go John your next with how we car and congressman Alan west go ahead. I do think it's the opportunity to speak to this great American. Our congressman I I donated to -- campaign the last time Pakistan to get elected him and -- sold and and I think we have to make the bull academy to succeed he can't match yet what I wanted to talk like that 1 o'clock while the the congress being congress can be India vice president to actually Mitt Romney that for the I know I know I don't look at. But it should be happening okay because it's I'm concerned that that is what we do it well it would shake up its country. It would it would wake up the country I know Alia -- in the the other day when he mentioned when you gonna be on it. I don't know I don't know the word out you know. Sometimes you get into it the confrontations. Well. What I -- -- congressman was the fact that you you would Hewitt said that there were -- -- seventy Communists in the -- in the house Democratic Caucus and I said. We all know what you meant but I mean it was just kind of -- at throwing gasoline on the fire. Well. Write its value we've got to whip up the American people wanna look if the pace of this congressional progressive caucus transport. At first law understand what the -- term progressive onslaught in the political. Statue of ideologies and it came from Communists. Back at the turn of the century in Western European Union honestly suburban want to read brands that market themselves. And that's why have they open discussion and debate about the different government philosophy that we have here a lot SA which would understand this country is a constitutional republic. As opposed to people that wanna make the socialists developed very well and then expect. I don't bemoaned them what they believe -- just beyond what the American people. That that is what you believe in at least some with the president and grandstand at the city is about socialists and therefore it was you know that the French people vote -- what they voted for and they know they can expect India. But don't masters which you have you know the station where the on the cheap it's about people. When your job and people toward the economically dependent upon government -- truly unleashed the improbable onto the Eagles that it does such. Well issue as you go -- file as you know already I mean my we have I think probably as many people in the progressive caucuses. As any other state for our side certainly -- -- Tierney is with think Tierney senate. Barbara marquis -- and it -- the others. Admiral Mike Campbell -- but he might as well beyond you know and I'm sure over I'm sure over -- I know he's -- but you you know what's Leah.
