sc
five dollars and strickland is on the line with us the former governor of the
great state of ohio where
uh... it seems elections go to be decided together welcome both welcome to
the program were great to be with you
so nate silver has uh... bet joe scarborough at thousand box
that president obama is going to win and i'm guessing that he thinks the part of
that path is going to go through ohio on the other hand
there is this machine out there i mean with uh... with uh... the the running
campaign passing out
booklets to their to their poll watchers telling them that told give dishonest
information to people who want voted to challenge voters and and been trying not
people off the rolls one out of what what's going on in your state sir
or well it's really interesting uh... you know governor uh... governor
romney's also involved in
uh... uh... a real controversy over our position that he's taken regarding the
auto industry uh... having claimed publicly that
kreitzer was going to move jobs out of all biotech china
and uh... that resulted in the uh... you know the c_e_o_ of chrysler putting
forth of public statement uh... contradicting uh...
what the governor romney appeared and then
uh... at the governor double down on his claims and included g_m_ ahead implied
in his bed
that g_m_ of moving jobs out of all i had to china and uh... that c_e_o_ of
g_m_
uh... to his spokesman
uh... without a strong statement
yeah um... that particular issue has been dominating of the political
discourse i think in ohio over the last two days and i think it's been been very
harmful
to governor romney's uh... chapters here in ohio
the uh...
uh... you know i referenced the voter suppression at first
and i know that there have been some some attempts to do that in ohio as well
but it's happening all over the country
it'd be a american legislative exchange council alec champion these laws these
folder
photo i_d_ you know multiple i_d_ laws whatever
and and has been pushing this that co-founder of the american legislative
exchange council zagat empal where it cool who helped run they've reagan
campaign a both bush campaigns
and if i may play for you
twenty seconds of paul weyrich he also was the co-founder of the heritage
foundation
his thoughts on how republicans can win campaigns in the future if you speaking
to a group of republicans in the church areas
crowd worker
have what i call the call
whose syndrome
corrupt government
they want everybody cobol
i don't want everybody to vote
election's are not won by a majority of people they never happened from the
beginning of our country and they are not now
as a matter of fact our leverage in the election quite candidly calls up
appalling populist both are concerned she would we do
well i'd better you know if i was a republican i would be in paris
uh... to belong to a party that would
uh... but uh... agree with such a philosophy uh...
it could lead to it you needed them uh... uh... and it's wrong and uh... i
think that's why the republican party is in trouble these days yeah um... because
i think the average citizen has figured out that these guys are not on our side
or uh... now that in fact they after they have to basically make stuff up
to try and even have talking points with this case in point chris or you're just
mention governor
well i think uh... i mean i i i p
u_b_s_ auto situation and what governor romney's is saying and doing here in
ohio
goes well beyond the auto issue i think it gets to an issue of character my
honesty
uh... trustworthiness
uh... and and uh... i think i think of iran he had to have a problem with the
truth
and uh... i think a republican party has appear the voter and that's what we're
seeing these
multiple efforts to suppress vote
uh... to make it more difficult for people to vote i'm mean uh...
these people ought to be ashamed of themselves
cabinet america everybody
uh... counts everybody should have an opportunity to participate
and uh... i think they're going to lose this election
and if they don't change their ways
uh... they're going to have a difficult time ever winning another national
elections yet you can turn your back on on on you know on uh... these uh...
children who were brought here by their parents
uh...
uh... papers yeah um... and and and the dream act violations on now you are here
just here to do that you're basically paraphrasing dwight eisenhower's letter
to his brother edgar in nineteen fifty four where he said you know any party
that suggests we should do away with social security will never be heard from
again
and he said i know that there's a small number of uh... texas oil man i think
it's possible that the numbers small they're stupid effectiveness with bright
