Digging a Grand Old Ditch?

" And his running for congress. He is close to civil unions actually. He is against big government bailouts -- not daughter she's. Well Doug Hoffman lives in the 23 congressional. This guy doesn't even live here -- week."

" his running himself. -- the National Republican Congressional Committee and I actually it's committee."

" That's what Republicans are attacking conservatives on in this case the conservative candidate polling very well against the establish Republican anointed one and an upstate New York congressional election. My next guest fears of the grand old party could be digging itself a grand old -- retired as a spokesman for Newt Gingrich who is supporting. The Republican candidate not the conservative talent and -- on the record this is. Prompting you know like Hatfield and McCoy kind of civil war here he got. You know lose the governor polonium Minnesota. In -- our talents. Supporting the conservative candidate. Your boss and and some of the other established types supporting them. And Vick it's the new Republican nominee armed. It's divisive as."

" What is devices and also destructive because. The Republican Party can't win Biden in division to speak he wins by addition not subtraction."

" You know I think back to a knew this was speaker and we had people like Chris Shays and Nancy Johnson and Charlie bass. Jim lead to violet Jennifer Dunn of Washington. We had GMR Kansas and -- Tom Campbell California -- all moderates they all voted for the contract with America. They all voted for Newt as speaker there all by the way supported and endorsed by Dick Armey who supported. Doug Hoffman in this race and they all voted for -- for speaker and when -- was speaker we got welfare reform balanced budget we got NAFTA."

" We got and who I think one of the most important interest in things we stopped Hillary care."

" And -- and now we are not going to be in charge in the congress if we keep going this direction."

" Jazeera has just had read support or your. And adherence to the point. This Republican. Party -- against this conservative --"

" We'll look at winning when he NR CC runs ads. You know tactically if you look at it as a tactician. -- on the other on the other hand but the thing that concerns me is that in the long run. That means that the Republican National Committee in the Republican establishment DR and C. Has really has to learn how to how do you capture the energy of the tea party movement which is very significant."

" You certainly don't go out your way today -- a lot of conservatives would you agree or disagree and they take great offense and and they say well. I haven't left the Republican Party the Republican party's left me how would you disavow them -- that knows."

" I would -- this way what -- what many of the tea party. The folks have done they've done a terrific job and it's just inspiring and his people and taxpayers with Johnson actually -- the protests until I was never -- that hasn't happened in my lifetime. And so they show up but what they. May need to understand is there's a political process which currently there who -- completely on the outside -- and it exposes their weakness which is. When the Republican Party went actually nominate a candidate they had eleven county chairman that they have four regional meetings this is all in the law and ended. They had no players on the field in other words. The tea party movement wasn't. Engaged in the political process that would lead to the nomination of the candidate they wanted so that. I hopefully for the tea party would learn a lesson from this and say look we've got to control county chairman we -- but not right."

" They're not so I'm just looking at just wondering if this rides. And and then the Republican Party whether locally or nationally react this way to an upstart firebrand conservative. Are you worried."

" Well two things will happen with both which I'm worried about. One -- the tea party if they go in this direction you know engage politically we'll go all the way of a thousand independent movements and started to subvert the republic. Where we we've been a two party system."

" For over a hundred years and the loss of third parties have come and gone but they haven't engaged in the political process --"

" Getting no regrets giving -- regrets this endorsement."

" No I don't think so at all I think. -- was supported by moderates is I outlined."

" And through growing in the party look at all the conservatives voted tomorrow we would still lose so the decision we have to make do we want to be Democrats who noticed. What Rahm Emanuel did the last election he got beat up by his left for. About was electing conservative Democrats they are now aren't their majority and they're passing health care cap and trade and all the rest of it aren't recognizing very much we have -- moment."
