compassionless conservative delivered by one mitch mcconnell. thanks so much for watching. "hardball" picks things up right now. >>> when is a tax not a tax? let's play "hardball." >>> good evening. i'm michael smerconish. what we have here is a failure to communicate. from the moment the supreme court upheld the individual mandate kauing it a tax, republicans saying aha, see, president obama raised taxes. but today, r mitt romney's chief spokesman told chuck todd no the mandate is not a tax after all. why would he say that? if it is, it means romney raised taxes with his plan in massachusetts. this is why santorum said romney would be the worst to carry the antireform message into the fall. also, we're hearing that chief justice roberts planned to strike down the mandate, but switched his vote. plus, count on seeing the obama campaign keep up their attacks on bain capital. both campaigns admitted the attacks on mitt romney's business experience, they're working and

if you recall the sound bites you just showed, but mitch mcconnell wouldn't cop to that. and i think that's very revealing and i think the basic republican philosophy here is in not so many words, but the ideological thrust is going to be we don't agree with the fundamental idea of president obama's legislation, which is essentially to create the idea inand to afirm the idea that everybody in the country is entitled to health care they can afford that won't bankrupt their family that will allow them to live a decent live. that's the essence of the argument. the republicans will talk philosophy, and the democratics will talk specifics. >> polls show they're split whether they like the health care law, but the court ruling did change opinions on the debate. a new poll shows 56% of americans think opponents of the law should move on. 51% of independents also agree. are republicans aware of this perception? is this a real political gamble for them to bad mouth the health care law for the next four months? init is, and they're not quite aware of it. they were caught by surpris

. >> mitch mcconnell says 13 million people in this country without health insurance is not the issue. but i thought that this was precisely the issue. because unless these people are brought into the system, they're not only miss out on all kind of preventive care, they'll also continue to use a system they do not contribute towards, so it's exactly that and yet mitch mcconnell says it's not the issue. >> again, misinformation. demonizing legislation and i think many have in the even read. if they did, they would also understand that 98% of americans would not be paying a penalty, but more importantly, 30, 40 million, the number keeps going up and down, it's the exact issue of individuals who lay on sick beds an hospitals without opportunity for insurance coverage and when i say they lay on sick beds, they're in emergency rooms because they can't get into hospitals because they have to go right out the door or maybe some of them fall sick right at the door of the emergency room because they're checkinging cards and coverage and i understand hospitals. they've got to survive and those

mitch mcconnell asked. we agree with the old mitch congressional. we believe that voters have a right to know. we believe in full disclosure and all senator mcconnell and the house republicans need to do to ensure that full disclosure is vote in favor of the disclose act when they bring it up in the senate and sign discharge petition that we filed today to bring up the disclosed act in the house of representatives. we hope that they will do that. thank you. >> thank you very much, congressman van hollen. when the decision came down under chris van hollen's leadership, we did pass a disclose act in the house. it won't over to the senate which of course had only 59 democrats and we couldn't only democrats and we couldn't get one republican despite public statements of mcconnell and others they abandoned that because they knew they didn't want accountability and transparency and contributions that are made under something that is so bizarre that the court would say any and all money secret or otherwise from who knows where, should be allowed into our s

first of all i disagree with the economics behind what mitch mcconnell is saying. on the politics we could go through list after list of things the democrats have tried to do to get the economy working again that the republicans have blocked. there is clearly a difference of opinion about what it's going to take to create growth. the democrats are correct and the republicans are wrong. >> juan: okay, it doesn't matter what mitch mcconnell said the fact is republicans are obstructing jobs bill proposal. job creation coming from this democratic president. and they seem content to go home before the election because, guess what? they will say the economy is still struggling and then they will will will blame it on obama. >> they have a list of proposals that's been made in great detail. they will stimulate the economy in their view. part of the problem we have here is that we don't really know what will stimulate the economy. we do know we need a stronger defense. we face extremely big defense problems in various areas of the world. we dehave a great many very intelli

can you think -- mitch mcconnell. welcome back. guest good morning. >> chris: are you persuaded. >> guest: he's doing the best he can with a toh situation. the president said it was not a tax and the supreme court said it is it a tax. the tax is going to be levied and 77 percent of it on americans making $127,000 a year. it is a middle class tax increase. beyond that, kris in the core of the bill it is worth reminding people half trillion in cut to medicare, hospitals and nursing home and home health care and the like. 500 billion tax ipcrease. the congressional budget office said it is a job killer and cost the economy between 800,000 to a million jobs. this is the single worst piece of legislation that is passed in modern times and it will be an issue. a big issue in the fall election. i think the chief justice said it is up to the american people to decide. we have one last chance to defeat obama care and we can do that in the november election. >> chris: since the supreme court chief justice roberts declared it is

even mitch mcconnell back in 1997 said... i couldn't agree more with that. okay so we've got agreement. republicans agree democrats agree. look at that. all of a sudden now that the republicans are getting all of the money and from all of the secret donations, all of a sudden they don't agree anymore. here's mitch mcconnell recently speaking at the american enterprise institute this year saying this instead. >> what this bill calls for is government compelled disclosure of contributions to all grassroots groups which is far more dangerous than its proponents are willing to admit. because disclosure is forced upon some but not all. it is not an act of good government. it is a political weapon. >> cenk: now all of a sudden the exclusions they were in favor of is a political weapon. god forbid we wouldn't want to intimidate the millionaires and billionaires buying politicians like mitch mcconnell. he went further and said my beloved koch brothers, we must protect them. >> charles and david koch have become household names, not for the tens of thousands of peopl

what was mitch mcconnell -- and then he came -- peter we have that clip. here is mitch mcconnell immediately after the vote saying basically it doesn't matter. >> this is a uniquely bad idea for the economy. the good news i can say to the american people it ain't going to happen. >> that's because john boehner will never go along with it. >> the entire thing was a political exercise. it was a really interesting thing to watch, because people felt very, very serious about it. i think the democrats are a bit thrown, but in a statement of how big of a show vote it actually was, joe biden was there, and proceeding over the chamber. the only way he can cast a vote is if there is a tie. problem with that there are 99 senator right now, because one is recovering in chicago, so unless joe biden would divide himself in half there was no point. senator hagan was in north carolina for a funeral, and he basically called her and said you have to come back for this. i think the democrats are trying to draw a line in the sand on this and make this is an issue. >> yeah, b

now, you just heard mitt romney or maybe mitch mcconnell say this is our last chance. the supreme court option is exhausted. for those in the republican that are dedicated to getting rid of obama care only one way to do it and that is to go to the polls is in november and vote out all of the democrats. this one regard this is advantage republicans politically. >> chris: i can see that both ways, shannon. if the court had thrown out obama care and said the whole thing is constitutional then you have the constitutional law lecturer who spent a year on the country time on something that turned out to not be legal. on the other hand is this as charles is suggesting the conservative and tea party activists who have never been keen on that. >> if the thousands outside the court are any indication, many of continued to rally throughout the day clanging the bells and saying this is it, we are awake, you have awakened a sleeping giant. the tea party didn't go away but we are coming back stronger than ever. interesting to try step away from the tight inside the beltway politics
