" Okay joining us now is the former governor of the commonwealth of Massachusetts. Mitt Romney and Mitt thanks for being -- now we cars show."

" Expects a figure that the next job that line. Will you call -- bet. Well actually am I'm calling from the yet you know a good friend dean Barnett is that the way right a couple of days ago from there weekly standard a great guy great friend. -- out of the New Hampshire today campaign for Johnson and or some other awful good folks so -- you you know that the people there were problems but separately for for congress. He's a great guy Jennifer art as well so work world for the grand estate that the right thing."

" Mitt what won't be year rough while I read -- I heard. Eric foreign troops said that the said this week that your eurobond with presidential politics is that is that true."

" You know I think at this stage I'm -- open John McCain gets that the victory had no -- a lot of books I think that's not likely but I still politically can happen I sure hope it does. And you know world politics says in the world of timing and you know the window was open this here for mayor -- and a lot Spirit square. I don't think it's -- likely that would open again but you know Bible Belt."

" 18774694322. If you like to talk to a Mitt Romney the former governor of Massachusetts 187746943. 22 video we got a call last now Oreo woman and she was issues very. He had not blaming the Republicans almost exclusively for this economic meltdown. How how -- in spite of the fact that -- you know wouldn't have to go over again but the fingerprints of Chris Dodd. And Barney Frank just for starters are all over the sub sub prime mortgage job mess that started the whole the whole thing. How how would. How is it to wait for John McCain to make that case are or why couldn't the Republicans make that case."

" Yeah you know I think it is too late for job McCain nickel back in. And and try described you know that in the history of this -- but I the shake my and I do not understand. How was that the White House was not able to communicate clearly what the origin of the problem was that we are. You know we we heard secretary all about they're talked about a out of Wall Street bailout which no one has -- dissident bailing out or lost and and there was no discussion about how this became a mass. -- this had to be pointed directly at those that's you know what. My bank land deport people and that. Policy has what this country -- precipice and and I felt Barney -- get Chris Dodd are partly to blame there's some Republicans the blanket a lot of regulators that worked on their job right. But. Somehow everybody met George Bush and it's going to hurt Republicans generally and edit it spirited but civil like Johnson later. He wrote legislation three different times. -- for legislation. Two to regulate anime at Freddie Mac. And yet the exact it was stopped about it Democrats. And again he's always under the got their New Hampshire."

" And -- and issue he's running -- with money raised by Chuck Schumer saying that he voted for the bill that brought on the problem when Chuck Schumer voted for bill himself along with Ted Kennedy and it was signed by bill -- that."

" It's it's absolutely unbelievable that they have you active in politics you gotta be able to spin things well debates on this went around other 88 degrees. So that Mecca the republic respectable papers often that the Democrats in this case. Should take greater responsibility for the they have."

" Admit there's been some speculation that that part of the these -- the decline in the stock market over the last few weeks. Has been the market. Pricing in the the economic decline that the country's libel to go into Barack Obama becomes president and his. It is allowed to raise taxes and begin these grandiose. It's welfare programs do you think do you think that is something to do what the the drop in the team in the markets."

" Well it's -- it did it describe and understand exactly what markets do what they do but. But surely if Barack Obama select the raises taxes on employers. At a small businesses. Added that the same time he raises capital gains taxes on investors. That's going to have a negative effect on the market so surely the market factors that. -- I'm most concerned about is Barack Obama's plan to take away the rights of employees in the business took vote. In its secret ballots as to what they want to you can not. -- union that small business -- all over the country and I know that scares the market and it's stickers be a lot."

" How about how about the fact -- that I again we come back the Republicans letting them get away with a saying this. He says he's not going to raise taxes on anybody -- 250000. He's going to sunset the bush tax increases and tax cuts which is a tax increase. He's gonna is gonna let he's not going to have a cap on Social Security withholding taxes he's going to increase the capital gains tax in and yet the mainstream media lets him get away it was saying he's not going to raise the debt that all of that is going to affect the middle --"

" It's about about that it does affect the middle class -- in effect anybody who's say it's anybody he will make it more expensive. For middle class taxpayers who want to save some money -- it's collender for the on retirement. Because they're going to have capital gains and dividends and interest any rate in those tax rates. So you are right he's raising taxes on Americans. Andy do -- delegates so he could be distributed to people. Most of them don't pay taxes at all that mr. McNamee -- is it's 40% of Americans today on target adults 40% pay no taxes. And under Barack Obama that those two approximately 47%. What do you do what people and no taxes and they get to vote there to double the treasury just kinda what what they'll."

" It's it's it's scary and yet you're right I mean when it when the people not paying taxes get to be a majority what's going to happen to those of us. Who do work for a living and you -- always gets remember when they say the working at the Democrats like about the working families. And I know what they mean when they say the working families is the non working for -- likes."

" I'm afraid you're right because as you know today with 40% of adults. 40% of the country -- no income tax and that that really does mean a huge block people organist and I'm all for Brock -- practice -- that means. War -- economy at at for these people we talked about given in the tax cut they're not getting a tax cut for those people bank note axes there actually get a get a check in the mail. More money from government."

" Another check in the mail this particular."

" Here bribery and it's a form of of -- out here at at what people have to recognize and I think they are going to recognize it. Is that he's trading not given them a check in the mail one. Four four losing jobs because there's no question it plans will cost America millions of jobs."

" 18774694322. Let's let's take some calls for Mitt Romney the former governor of Massachusetts -- campaigning for Republican candidates across the country he -- a ton of money -- why haven't you you gave a lot of money to was to the room Michigan Republican Party didn't you after the McCain people pulled out."

" Yeah out we've that we've been able to raise money -- free and struck America packet and senate to remember key states and that I'm actually proud of the fact that miles fundraising team has raised. About twenty million dollars for the McCain Pailin came so we've been we've been working hard that the two it -- people like that we believe them."

" Jim you're next with how we card former governor Mitt Romney go ahead Jim."

" Governor Romney -- talk. I -- By the question for you don't hear this mentioned very much but. -- when Barack Obama plans on raising taxes on companies that make over 250000. Dollars a year. How do you feel it's going to affect the economy in the sense that don't you think a lot of that increased costs of these businesses -- going to be passed down the consumer in effect we'll feel the tax cut across the board."

" Well there's there's no question about that went what you when you raise taxes on employers. There -- things they can do one they can raise their prices so they can stay in business. But if they find they raised their prices because foreign competitors are. There was lower prices. And it frankly escalate people. And -- so here's -- local people recognize when you raise taxes on employers you kill jobs. And that's why countries like Ireland lowered taxes on employers. And from the -- came streaming into their country they added implement an enormous way. It's always been the secure this country lower taxes and raise our our economic well being and and raise the number jobs here."

" Mitt how about the fact that if you know if you make 249000. Dollars you your consider part of the middle class under by Barack Obama if you make 251000. Euro Europe's -- craft. I mean she think that that that they don't they realize that people are going to know for Nagle at so that they don't they don't raise themselves stood to the level of -- at -- taxation."

" Well there's always the worry of that kind of you know that coal mine where if you go over it you're gonna. A -- to pay more attacks than actually increase in income that. That would be a problem but. I'm worried about the fact that you right now got 5% of Americans that takes 60% of the taxes and and I don't know what what Barack Obama thinks is fair -- talks about you know economic justice -- mention that -- 5% pay all the taxes does that work. We wanted to go for private economic course. -- lead people to decide not to do business in this country if you will atlas shrugs."

" Thanks for the call Jim Jim your next with Howie Carr and Mitt Romney go ahead Jim."

" They captivate -- it's supported in the primary thanks for your good round. Just throw -- you guide to discuss but I really that's open around the -- and listened and and -- different things that there's already a sense of buyer's remorse setting in a -- a lot of -- my -- who have been bamboozled and you know the guy in the elected yet but there's already a sense that oh my god what did we just bill."

" Well you know I think you're right I think everybody wants change -- I mean everybody wants change or -- of the value our course our market. You know collapse and a lot of people lost a lot of retirement and and savings for college in their their Matt may and -- they want to do something about it. But if they stop and think about it even -- Barack Obama adopted the term change before that it is opponent bit. Barack Obama's change would without question make things worse in this country he would deepen the recession and make it longer. And I hope that -- is waning days that people understand. The Barack Obama means we lose millions of jobs and John McCain means we had jobs."

" Thanks Jim Donald your next with how we current governor Mitt Romney go ahead Donald."

" Taking a good morning governor governor I think government being lost elections. A lot debate when Obama said he got a look at the trade deals then put American companies are. You know look at the number one employer -- seven include General Motors. Good good it's good retirement good medical benefits. Ballots Wal-Mart. You know we can't keep going down distract the -- and manufacturing jobs governor and there are prepared people have decent benefits and decent medical insurance and and that's where you are actually election incident has got to put down look at."

" Okay well enough with your run democratic talking points -- respond go ahead I've met."

" Well there's there's no question that you want to make sure that you're going to trade with other nations it's fair basis. At and so it's somebody is playing unfairly that you you mentioned that you put in place rules keep that from happening -- analyze and verplank and apparently. But at this time if you do what you're which is to say you know what we can't compete. You and finding yourself becoming the second tier nation. And becoming -- quarter. You beauty industry does not competing well it's they'll learn how to compete well and the case they auto industry. You know I think we've really been harmed by the fact that. We kept their prices here it in gasoline very diplomatic Europe and -- get this huge ball in the European market in the US gas prices it's really killing our industry here. But I can't play yeah I I don't we kept in dissect the lead for good -- that the country and keep those those guys -- taken jobs but don't forget. One of the six jobs in this country makes it good or service that's called to a foreign country. And they -- those -- but we -- there's and I'm afraid we have not been a loser."

" And -- you know you know you know a lot about the auto industry for obvious reasons your father around with a big companies. Didn't didn't government regulation make GM Chrysler Ford less competitive over the last thirty years."

" What others don't question that this precipitous change that you're getting get voted in the cafe fuel requirements really hurt the domestic manufacturers and play right into the hands of the foreign -- And and so we don't wait one more time. You know we had it we -- that I could do Gooding yet. Legislators that Washington. That they were going to improve improve the environment that -- about what it would do to the workers. Of America and that was a futuristic initiative they should put a place a program that helped that that industry at the topic but bottom placed those that they require."

" Thanks for the call Donald Geoff you're next with Howie -- governor Mitt Romney go ahead Jeff."

" Though one should consider running orders. And looking -- The voting record and and people abuse congressional congress they haven't been able to rally that are Democrat has some of these extreme. Proposals. And it I would moderate Democrat in not congress right now I think I'd be scared to death having. Barack Obama and there. It wouldn't -- yeah for first volatile."

" Percent at the Utah. Particularly acute. And secondly. Met people -- is had a hard time getting through some are most liberal proposals. For one rate -- and that is because there there are enough Republicans to filibuster or most extreme ideas. But -- heaven forbid. We will lose jobs and and and a few other senators and the there's no longer an ability to filibuster. Proposals. You can expect to stay in the Senate and then reading briefing our briefing to oust. You'd expect this city are checked which is taking -- that the right workers to a secret ballot. And a number of other measures -- big hike in their tax rates you -- dispute this sailed through congress."

" It it's just it's this it's a scary thought I just can't I can't believe Sununu could lose this race to two -- submitted to Jean Shaheen. Just just an empty pantsuit."

" It coming your image up it is one of the best senators in the country I mean as regards as a very serious studious. Brilliant analytical guy. He he's a very Independent guy he voted against bush in the Patriot Act he voted against Bush's energy -- salmon again."

" Demanded guns else's wrestler were resignation."

" that this -- as an Independent voice that is an Independent you're going to find. And the idea that people battle that reelect this so this kind of a brilliant -- of the that it's an outburst date would be a strange turn of events."

" Thanks for the call Jeff Jessica you're next with how we card Mitt Romney go ahead Jessica."

" I it's what it's Kelly US so right about Johnson -- he'd actually coming to work on Friday and I cannot wait to meet him."

" I beg you -- today at cactus Jack."

" Max doesn't sound like a place Mitt Romney would go but it sounds like they serve to kill. I."

" I think I think I think to happen how is jail. That get the sixers players like to actually. I was happy to be that but but you know you are right period is yet to about. These he's a good guy he'd he'd. He is kind of person you want you watched that he he's a throwback to the days were released march. Citizens -- go out -- Germany it is it is going to defy."

" I guess by my life would be comedy or mister speaker. They are probably -- either. Story like -- about it the people's you know what it got to have a two party system. Where were parties check out each other work where abuses there are are are -- and an -- As outrageous you wonder -- what how many hundreds of thousands ultimately got taken illegally in this.

Patches Meltdown

The son of the late Ted Kennedy -- known as the lion of the Senate -- might have been aiming for his father's legendary roar, but his emotional speech veered into Howard Dean scream territory. Video of the Rhode Island Democrat calling the news media "despicable" immediately went viral on the Internet and bloggers started buzzing. He was speaking in favor of a resolution sponsored by Rep. Dennis Kucinich, D-Ohio, to withdraw U.S. troops from Afghanistan within 30 days. Kennedy accused the media of ignoring the war and obsessing over the scandal that forced Rep. Eric Massa, D-N.Y., to quit. What do you think is causing Patches' meltdown?
