Most Republicans call the show 'The Left Wing.'

Tonight was a great opportunity to take on the political status quo that has given us trillion dollar deficits and put millions out of work. Our objective was to inject some common sense into the conversation among Republicans at a time when business-as-usual simply won't work.

The excitement right now is coming from the Liberty movement. And the Republicans want a piece of it.

Race to race, the Republicans are putting up candidates that are quite far out of the mainstream in terms of should we have passed the Civil Rights Act or does Social Security need to exist.

Republicans many times can't get the words 'equality of opportunity' out of their mouths. Their lips do not form that way.

The Republicans are looking after the financial interests of the wealthiest individuals in this country.

Finally, I want to make the point that we are Republicans. We are the majority. It is going to be a little more difficult because we have to govern and come up with ideas.

The only difference between the Democrats and the Republicans is that the Democrats allow the poor to be corrupt, too.

If they understand, which I believe they really are sensing, that the alternative the Republicans have been offering is to repeal what we've done, to go back to Bush policies - and if you asked the public what would you prefer, Bush economic policies or Obama economic policies, they take and prefer Obama economic policies.

After the Republican Party did everything that Colin Powell says it needs to do to grow, and nominated the very kind of candidate he wanted in 2008, what did Powell do? He endorsed Obama! So according to the Drive-Bys and David Gergen, Republicans should let somebody who campaigned and voted for Obama, tell us how to build our party.

Republicans are for both the man and the dollar, but in case of conflict the man before the dollar.

The fundamental problem for Republicans when it comes to the environment is that whatever you say is viewed through the prism of suspicion.

When I started in this business, everybody said the Democrats were the better communicators because they sounded like social workers, and Republicans were awful because they sounded like morticians. In some cases. they actually dressed like morticians.
