Can you guess which one said the following to Rachel last night when speaking about his own party?


"No more special interest money. No more corruption."

"This campaign is not about ideas. It's about money. It's about money. It's about money. And they get it from insurance companies, pharmaceutical companies. How the hell are you going to have healthcare? They get it from those oil companies and ethanol companies who have a stake in energy. How are you going to be energy-independent and be environmentally clean? I challenge my party: Stand with plain people, not privileged people on Wall Street, and let's turn this country around.

"Say no to the PACs. Eliminate the super-PACs. Disclose all money you collect when you run. Do it every 48 hours, not every 120 days. Have criminal penalties for those who violate. Don't let the lobbyists bring a check. They can bring an idea, but no fund raising.

"The money runs deep, in ways that go beyond campaign contributions. They run big media, big corporations. They control who we get to vote on for President."



This man is a former Congressman and a former Governor. Rhetorically, he asks one more question, regarding the Republican debates: "I've been shut out of every darned one, and I wonder why?"




Runs just over eight minutes.

1. Even a republican can say something correct once in a blue moon ;)

OBAMA-BIDEN 2012 !!!

p.s. Hey everyone, be sure all your family members, friends, and neighbors are registered to vote - it's never too early

2. Gary Johnson?

Edited for speling.

I watched it.

5. So what does it say about the Republican Party that they won't let him on the stage?

6. They keep moving the goal line on him

which makes you wonder why that is. I'd like to see him in the debates. It seems as though there's something he could actually add to the discussion but they won't because he doesn't fit the MSM narrative. I like that Rachel keeps having him on her show (I think she likes that she's actually gotten a Republican on her show and that's why she keeps having him back).

7. He seems to be that rarest of birds, an honest Republican....

... and giving him more viz helps move their party towards sanity.

[RiffRandell]

8. The fact that he makes sense on one issue disqualifies him. n/t

9. Dude needs to switch parties and run as a progressive.

He's clearly not "one of them" and will never be accepted.
