-- focusing on a key election issue they believe makes present Obama quite vulnerable that's on the economy here's Mitt Romney from two nights ago.
You make it more -- You have a better chance to get a better job.
Are you paying less at the pump.
You know.
If the answer were yes to those questions -- President Obama will be running for reelection based on his record and rightly so.
But because he has failed.
He'll run a campaign of diversions.
And distractions.
And distortions.
That kind of campaign may have worked at another place.
And in a different time.
But not here.
And that now.
It's still about the economy.
And we are not stupid.
Yes I use its more than that than that the report.
-- can party may be going about this the wrong way author of the book still the best told why the world needs American values a triumph.
Radio talk show host Dennis Prager here Dennis good -- you walk in America's Newsroom.
Friend today would you want your all the talk here -- your line here if Republicans focus on the economy is the primary issue that it will lose.
I didn't know the temptation to ask the questions Mitt Romney asked and he did it beautifully by the way.
However and this is key.
I think that the Republican nominee has to state.
This is not an election this is a plug a site about left -- and that is -- this November is about.
Does the American people do the American people want an expansion of the state like in Western Europe.
Or do we want to continue the American value system of the primacy of the individual.
It's a plebiscite.
It is not just an election GRC.
Are you arguing that you're getting that from Mitt Romney or you expect that from Mitt Romney -- you have not heard that.
On the republic don't know the truth is the press did not do him a service he went on after that to say we are seeing an erosion of liberty in America.
I would just ask that the press in fact report that he is saying that and that he stressed that just as much as the economy you also -- economy.
Right what what let me get the economy can only say -- -- a clarity of difference.
-- as it between I assume Barack Obama Mitt Romney about what their vision is for for America.
I wanna clarity of difference between left and right between a blue and -- -- read that I believe that with clarity.
The of the conservative idea will always win in America.
But we don't make the division clear we are not telling Americans the bigger the government the smaller the citizen.
And that is what is happening we are addicting more and more Americans to handouts we are.
Hurting the American character these are the great themes of what this election ought to be about.
All right back to the economy eight point 2% unemployment national number at the moment.
Fourteen and a half percent of America's potential workforce unemployed or underemployed.
Number of jobless out of work for six months or more has doubled since January 2009.
Do you not see the current administration is -- Vulnerable.
On the economy it is vulnerable on the economy people -- if one of the economy improves by November we can't run on -- the hope.
That things are bad for our fellow American.
It's not good for us it's not good for America the economy is absolutely an issue but why is the economy and issue because of our debt.
Because we have -- the CRA demanding that banks give loans to people who couldn't afford it in order to have more diversification.
Of homeownership.
Show that the large theme is an expansion of government.
Beyond one America and American values stand for that's why I wrote the book thank you Dennis.
Still the best you know what the world needs American values the trial appreciate your time and -- Washington today and you.
