Political Pundits

I think you have to keep the protest going because no matter what people say even the people who are inconvenienced by the protests say they understand.

Representative King -- he said they're un-American. They are saying we don't have jobs. They're saying we used to believe that if we worked hard, we could get some place.

These young people are heroes. Now any kind of street violence or police violence, everybody denounces it. The protesters denounce it.

He should be ashamed of himself. He never went down to the park. I was there myself personally. He said over and over and over again these smears, these lies that they're living in feces, whatever, that's completely made up.

They feel -- listen, if you want to buy a yacht, they're not mad. But these people, they're mad when people try to buy a congressperson.

I do think that a section of them will turn towards politics.

Now we've got to change the conditions. That's a long walk. But they started off, I think, in the right direction.

I think that -- I think you can only -- you've got to keep the protest going, because no matter what people say, even the people who are -- who are inconvenienced say they -- by the protests say they understand.

These young people went down to the scene of the crime, against their future, Wall Street, with tents and blankets, and changed the conversation.

I think some of the questions about the flip-flopping occur because Mitt Romney is trying to hold on to some more nuanced positions in the face of a party that is clamoring for red meat.

Well, Eric Cantor took this position on disaster relief some weeks ago, before this latest request for money arrived.

Well, what I'm hoping for in the next round is that, as we get into 2012, there is actually going to be a Republican presidential candidate. There's going to be a real leader of the Republican Party who is going to have some authority to…

I think the Democratic strategy has been there are strained intentions within the Republican leadership.

Well, I really worry that the president and the Democrats' new strategy is to change the title of a famous old book, 'Getting to No.'

This speech was very effective. And we can already see it beginning to have its effect. Eric Cantor and John Boehner were saying to reporters for 'Politico' that they will pass some of the elements that the president is proposing.

Your hair will go even grayer, Anderson, if you keep trying to figure out why someone has to go or why someone is allowed to stay.

As many people have brought up, why did David Vitter -- why does David Vitter continue to serve? He was calling prostitutes from his cell phone in the Senate.

Because people won't let it go. Because you're asking me about it. Because, until he resigns -- this is how it works in America. When you do something unspeakable, you know, like be horny, you have to go away.

In this country, you know, nobody can ever just make a mistake and then we move on. We have to beat them down.

Your hair will go even greyer, Anderson, if you keep trying to figure out why someone has to go or why someone is allowed to stay.

You can never really figure out the rhyme or reason why somebody has to go and somebody can stay.

For the good of the party, which means, in my view, the good of the country, he needs to go away right now, let it calm down.

He compared Obama to the Nazis at one point. He said his administration was more dangerous and more of a threat to us than the Nazis or the Soviet Union.

Newt Gingrich, I said a long time ago, has this reputation as somehow he's the professor in the Republican Party. He's the idea man. No, he's a nut.
