" Patients. Meanwhile Saturday's vote on the health care bill demonstrated that the issue is actually sparked an internal war in the Democratic Party. Now party bosses are struggling to get more moderate Democrats you know the guys that wanna stay in office after the 30 elections. On board with their radical agenda. So does this present an opportunity for Republicans to capitalize. Come mid term election should be with the answers as the president. Of the word doctors and the -- doctors group the author of what Americans really want really really really really. Frank."
" Us Korea for the pleasure thank your problem. This it will be the defining issue that in. Unemployment the economy putting -- no doubt and spending and then let me tell us until I -- with this terror attack. But everyone's forgetting this is a trillion dollar piece of legislation. It's 1990. Pages tall it's about this high off the ground. It is loaded with bombs just waiting to go off at the end as much as this is an opportunity for Republicans. Got a look at it as an American. And you look at it and say this is not with the American people want to do want some sort of coverage you wanna make sure that people are left without it and they do want. To ensure that they don't get stuck with preexisting conditions and the fact we tested -- on this and higher that the lines climb the more favorable the response watch the right side of the screen this is the single best ad in favor. How the health care reform troll. The Democrats in congress created a trillion dollar healthcare bureaucracy last year it's now a year later and so tell me what are your premiums any less today than they were a year ago is your health care quality any better than it was a year ago. Do your taxes go down your benefits go up in the past year. To the Democrats even let you read the legislation. Sure the Democrats gave America the single biggest government bureaucracy in the history of this country but what exactly did they give you. Remember that on tax day and send them a message on Election Day I'm Frank Luntz and I approve this message. And about a little was the one we're talking up but that's an -- that you did that you think is going to be run come election time correctly is just the cost. He disaffected know what's gonna feeling changed next year he run for office -- never can Peterson government ever vote for me I just wanna know all the did deep dark secret to your past but anyway go ahead. This tragedy is actually have not what that you need bold bets are disappointed. What the public sees -- and they are looking for a common sense approach do if we have the democratic -- I do wanna play it we don't have them. It talks about women and preexisting conditions and that is something that has upset. Even female Republicans. But in the and support for health -- right now is down to 40% --"
" Let the let's let's go to this internal battle within the Democratic Party I mean you've got in how she got this battle over abortion that was unfolding before the nation. And he got now forty Democrats around forty saying that if the abortion provision is included an untenable for and vice Versa. In the Senate you've got to a battle going on about just even having the government option and yet some Democrats say in government options in on the out it was not enough now."
" And also he has even seen the legislation. Well into the polling that we've done the American people more than anything else the second highest priorities to have members of congress actually read. The legislation to voting on it seems to make sense but they don't. The number one priority is to give Americans themselves the chance to read the legislation how you read 2000 pages and place you can't."
" Well that that this is a point Nancy Pelosi we've shown the tape is on tape saying that they would have that kind of transparency the president said the exact same thing to. Here's the question what are what is the impact going to be. A year from now. Will people the American people and angry people showing up at town halls and tea parties the people that have had their character assassinated by the democratic establishment. Are they going to be is fully engaged come November a year from now."
" Hell hath no fury like a voter scorned."
" And the anger and the hot the heat is actually the senator neither on the right."
" It's independents independence independent conservatives who reject both political parties. Who voted Democrat for house for the house fire about fifty to 48. And in this last election -- voted Republican over Democrat for governor are almost to visit any chance to the Republicans get what does that the 41 seats that it would need to take back the house is there a chance. I was surrounded 1994. I was involved in 1994 is there a chance. Very very small I disagree with you. I think this could then I'll tell you why I think what will we what we saw was a political earthquake we can go to that. I think there's a chance that this thing is gonna -- big if they win this down the American people's throat if unemployment remains anywhere -- 10%. There's no way with congress and a 21% approval rating -- the problem they're gonna have the public is gonna have to say. I blame the Democrats for this and blame the Democrats in the house Democrats say they believe they have the control of everything if you independent candidates running. And they take where some of the vote from the right wing didn't work and address Democrats didn't work in New Jersey. We -- happen in new York and nominated stupid candidates out of the question for the Republican Party is OGU nominate someone with a grassroots support. And the question for the people who really angry senator are you get."
" A vote for a protest. We are you are you gonna vote to make a difference. We can't predict that I think it the American people -- most concerned about the debt the deficit. And the government take control every aspect of the life and I think more Americans are waking up. What I have said from the beginning that Obama is a radical ideologue. But no pragmatic side. But in the end have to be a vote against congress stay once fixed -- segment of fifty senators and congressmen refused to hold town hall meetings. -- I get defeated for the Schieffer thanks of it was appreciate good pretty good run brought it. And coming up one Democrat has a warning."
