But I can go back to my favorite Gallup poll from the summer -- 30 percent of the people said they're Republican, 30 percent Democrat, and 40 percent said they are independent because both parties are too extreme for them.

So, you know, you can talk about the Republicans being extreme.

(CROSSTALK)

BECKEL: It wasn't a poll of media people, it was a poll of the general public.

BOLLING: That was, too. The Gallup poll that I just mentioned.

BECKEL: I know. But I'm saying, this poll that we're talking about right now, it has nothing to do with the media. It has everything to do with the people being polled. And they think you are extreme --

PERINO: Where did the media get their information? Where did the media get their information?

BECKEL: I don't know.

GUTFELD: That was my point, Eric. Your chest hair has been called extreme.

BOLLING: No. I got rid of it. Every once in a while --

PERINO: He takes extreme measures.

BOLLING: Bob, you like this poll, CNN poll, too extreme.

But here's what's really going on. In America, the left is moving left. And we know it, Barack Obama completely revamped the way we do business in America. We do a lot of things. The left has moved further left.

The right is trying to figure out where the center is now, all the squishy Republicans trying to move to the center. But the center -- yes, the squishy ones -- and the center is moving left. So, if you stay with what used to be the regular right wing, you are suddenly becoming extreme.

PERINO: But I have a point.

(CROSSTALK)

BECKEL: Palin or Bachmann could be elected president.

GUTFELD: And a community organizer with no past.

PERINO: I have point, though. Actually, Republicans just don't know how to talk about this. They have won a huge fight on principle. And that is about tax relief -- because President Obama, after for years saying the Bush tax cut only help the wealthy, all of a sudden, the Bush tax cuts were the things that were saving the middle class and the lower classes from extreme tax increases.

So, actually, the Republicans have won on the issue that will serve them well in history.

BOLLING: But if you stand on your principle -- guns, social issues, you're extreme now, on the right. Only on the right.

GUTFELD: Only on the right. On the left --

BECKEL: Try to elect somebody like Sarah Palin on the platform, see what happens.

GUTFELD: Well, she was elected.

BECKEL: To what?

GUTFELD: Governor once. Maybe I'm wrong.

But here's the thing -- you're right, leftist principles are seen as romantic. Right principles are seen as extreme.

GUILFOYLE: Dangerous.

PERINO: When they're actually right.

(CROSSTALK)

GUTFELD: But you agree with me, though.

BECKEL: I said the right is crazy. I agree.

GUILFOYLE: They're dangerous and scary, that's --

BOLLING: Small government, lower tax takes, gun ownership, Second Amendment, social issues, right to life, and you're extremist. Meanwhile, that's been the Republican platform for the better part of 200 years.

BECKEL: That is not the consensus of the American people. That's where you are missing the point.

GUTFELD: What's extreme about limited government?

BECKEL: I should repeat to you again -- you lost. There was an election.

PERINO: Do you think I'm extreme?

BOLLING: Absolutely, no doubt. You're right. The right lost.

PERINO: Do you think I'm extreme?
