last thing I want to talk about before we break lewis et be we are today
is election 2013 and is not a big midterm election it is not a
presidential election
but there are any number %uh interesting races around the country including the
Virginia gubernatorial election
here in new york city we've got the mayoral election which by the way
and got a lot of emails I did not vote I am registered to vote in Massachusetts I
voted their
up for some of my friends for city councilor Lewis said that that that this
far
as I was able to get in the 2013 election
tomorrow we're going to have results but I i stepped back as I was looking at the
different races that are
being voted on today and I said hold on a second David
I said to myself what has been the
republic in platform for the last
I don't know one to three years and I thought and I said okay
it's been telling lies about the Affordable Care Act in order to try to
get people to oppose it
not sign up et cetera shutting down the government
in part because I've the uncontroversial raising the debt ceiling which
absolute merit to discussing whether that a good or bad thing
but the idea that it is unique to President Obama when so many other
presidents have raise the debt ceiling many more times
and by much far greater margins and President Obama
Ben Ghazi right Ben Ghazi since that since
September 11 2012 has been and insane catalyst for
every every type a Breitling lunacy that we can imagine
and the background the constant background
extremism on social issues who can support this Lewis who is behind
what the republican platform has been for the last two years
its it's shocking when you put it all together and realize
there has been nothing else done
other than opposing Obamacare would lies shutting down the government
obsessing over Ben Ghazi and and just opposing gay marriage and abortion
if only people knew that David that's that's the problem people just don't
realize it
they have no idea that this is all that's been happening could this be a
sustainable strategy for republicans we see demographic shifts we see
shift on the issues where separate from Republican and Democrat
boaters increase to being increasingly favor
the progressive point of view now we need to kind of separate that from
from from parties and from boating for specific party simply out of habit
could this be a sustainable tactic for republicans I really don't think it
worked over the last two years
it relies on misinformation and taking advantage of those who are
who also favor all these a extreme
social policies but hard to say I mean I think we are headed in a direction that
that that clearly shows that this is not a
long-term up plan that will work email me about this leave me voicemails 2192
David P
AM I wrong about what the platform has been for two years and
is it sustainable could it work for the republican party on today's bonus show
