Ron, Matt, and Dani discuss the infighting among conservatives over social issues like gay marriage.

Democrats may want to consider voting to repeal health reform if they want to keep the youth vote.

Young people tend to lean left until they start paying taxes. Starting in 2014, Democrats face a harsher version of this tendency: Young people vote Democratic until they have to pay taxes and purchase health insurance.

This week We the People discusses the tragic shooting in Arizona and the mainstream media’s attempt to blame Sarah Palin and Tea Party rhetoric. We refute this attack and show that the shooter, Jared Lee Loughner, is anarcho-communist and clinically insane. We are also joined by Katie Pavlich of Townhall.com to discuss this matter.

In hour 2 of the show, MO state representative Paul Curtman joins us to discuss the Tea Party movement, the agenda of newly elected legislatures, and the news of the day. Be sure to check out this podcast.
