TONIGHT ON "NEWSWATCH" THE
DEMOCRATS NO. 1 ENEMY IN
CONGRESS.
WHY SO MANY ON THE LEFT HAVE IT
OUT FOR CONGRESSMAN ALLEN WEST.
PLUS SHOT BY THE TALIBAN, THE
LATEST ON THE TEENAGE ACTIVIST
TARGETED BY TERRORIST IN
PAKISTAN A WEEK AGO.
DEMOCRATS FOR LIFE.
PRO-LIFE VOTERS IN A TYPICALLY
PRO-CHOICE PARTY.
ALL OF THIS AND MORE TONIGHT
ON "NEWSWATCH." MOST AMERICANS
ARE PAYING CLOSE ATTENTION TO
THE PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION.
THAT ISN'T THE ONLY BATTLE FOR
WASHINGTON POWER.
GOOD EVENING I AM LEE WEB.
AND I AM WENDY GRIFFITH.
CONTROL OF CONGRESS IS SECOND.
CONGRESSMAN
DEMOCRATS VIEW HIM AS PUBLIC
ENEMY NO. 1, ALLEN WEST RUBS HIM
THE WRONG WAY. DEMOCRATS ARE
FIGHTING WEST INSULTS BY
FUNNELING MILLIONS OF DOLLARS
THROUGH CHALLENGER PATRICK
MURPHY.
WEST TELLS CBN NEWS, THERE IS A
REASON WHY DEMOCRATS ARE OUT TO
GET HIM, HE IS BLACKED AND
CONSERVATIVE.
IF THIS TYPE OF STORY GETS
OUT, WHAT HAPPENS TO THAT
CONSISTENT VOTING ELECTORATE
THEY HAVE IN THE BLACK
COMMUNITY. WEST AND MURPHY
COMPETING ALONG FLORIDA'S COAST
FROM WEST PALM BEACH TO FORT
PIERCE.
PATRICK MURPHY THROWN OUT OF
A CLUB FOR FIGHTING.
MURPHY RAN AN AD WITH
CHILDREN RECITING WORDS ALLEN
HAS USED.
YOU ARE NOT A LADY.
YOU ARE THE MOST VIABLE
DESPICABLE MEMBER OF THE
COMMUNIST PARTY.
PATRICK MURPHY, IS HE IN
OVER HIS HEAD?
JUST AN EMPTY SEAT SO HIS DAD
CAN HAVE POLITICAL INFLUENCE IN
WASHINGTON, D.C. MURPHY'S DAD
IS RUNNING CONTROVERSIAL ADS
LIKE THIS AGAINST WEST.
POLITICAL ACTION COMMITTEES ARE
SUPPOSED TO HAVE NO COORDINATION
WITH POLITICAL CAMPAIGNS.
WHEN YOUR DAD IS STARTING A
PAC JUST FOR YOU AND THE MAJOR
CONTRIBUTOR, YOU CAN'T SAY THERE
IS NO COLLABORATION BETWEEN DAD
AND SON.
WEST CAMPAIGN HAS BEEN
FIGHTING BACK WITH WEST'S WIFE
TAKING TO THE CAMPAIGNS.
RECENT ATTACKS ON MY HUSBAND
GO TOO FAR.
VERY CONSERVATIVE, VERY GOOD
TARGET.
HE IS SO OVER THE TOP SO OFTEN.
IT GIVES DEMOCRATS SOMETHING TO
PUSH ON WHILE THAT PLAYS WELL TO
THE HARD CORE CONSERVATIVES, TEA
PARTIERS.
IT IS THE MODERATE TO
CONSERVATIVE REPUBLICANS, WILL
THEY GO FOR HIM?
THE WAY WEST SEES IT, HE IS
GOING TO SPEAK THE TRUTH THE
ONLY WAY HE KNOWS HOW.
IT COMES BACK TO WHY THE
OTHER SIDE DOESN'T LIKE ME.
NOT JUST STANDING UP FOR IT BUT
THAT WHICH IS RIGHT.
WHEN I GO TO ISAIAH 54:17, THAT
HELPS ME UNDERSTAND, NO WEAPON
FORMED AGAINST YOU SHALL PROSER.
EVERY TONGUE THAT RISES UP
AGAINST YOU YOU SHOULD WATCH
FOR.
THE ADMINISTRATION DIDN'T
PROVIDE MORE SECURITY WHEN U.S.
OFFICIALS REQUESTED IT.
LAST WEEK'S DEBATE, VICE
PRESIDENT JOE BIDEN SAID QUOTE
WE DIDN'T KNOW ABOUT THE
REQUEST.
THAT RESPONSE ANGERED
REPUBLICANS.
DAVID AXELROD EXPLAINS WHAT
BIDEN MEANT.
THERE IS NO DOUBT SOME OF
THESE MATTERS WENT INTO THE
STATE DEPARTMENT.
IT DIDN'T COME TO THE WHITE
HOUSE.
THAT IS WHAT THE VICE PRESIDENT
WAS RESPONDING TO.
ADMINISTRATION OFFICIALS
BLAME THE CONFUSION ON SHIFTING
INTELLIGENCE INFORMATION.
REPUBLICANS AREN'T BUYING IT.
NO RIOT AT ALL.
YOU ARE VERY INCOMPETENT.
THE INTELLIGENCE GROUND TOLD
OURSELVES WITHIN 24 HOURS THEY
COMMUNICATED UP TO WASHINGTON
THIS IS A TERRORIST ATTACK.
THE PRESIDENT IN LIBYA ON THE
SAME DAY SAID IT WAS A TERRORIST
ATTACK.
SENATOR ROB PORTMAN TELLS ABC
NEWS IT IS NOT A CAMPAIGN ISSUE,
IT IS AN ISSUE ONLY.
PRESIDENT OBAMA AND MITT
ROMNEY MEET FOR ROUND 2 AT
HOFSTRA IN NEW YORK.
MARK MARTIN HAS THE STORY.
REPORTER: ACCORDING TO A NEW
ABC NEWS WASHINGT"WASHINGTON POST" POLL,
59 PERCENT OF ROMNEY'S
SUPPORTERS ARE STRONGLY
ENTHUSIASTIC ABOUT HIM.
I THINK HE NEEDS TO TAKE A
MORE CONCRETE STANCE.
IT IS GOING GREAT. DEBATE
NO. 2 IS AT TOWN HALL WITH THE
QUESTIONS COMING FROM THE
AUDIENCE.
I AM DI APPOINTED.
HE MADE A LOT OF PROMISES THAT
HAVEN'T BEEN KEPT. YOU ARE
NOT SOLD ON GOVERNOR ROMNEY?
NO.
NOT YET.
DEMOCRATS SAY PRESIDENT OBAMA
PERFORMANCE WAS DAMAGING.
HIS CAMPAIGN SAYS DO NOT EXPECT
A REPEAT.
ROB PORTMAN HAS BEEN ROMNEY'S
DEBATE CAMPAIGN COMPANION.
HE IS READY.
BOTH CANDIDATES HAVE TO TREAD
LIGHTLY.
TOWN HALL FORMAT COULD BE
CHALLENGING FOR BOTH CANDIDATES,
NEITHER HAS HELD MANY EVENTS
LIKE THIS RECENTLY.
MARK MARTIN, CBN NEWS.
FIVE GUANTANAMO PRISONERS ARE
IN COURT, KHALID SHEIKH MOHAMMAD
AND FOUR CO-CONSPIRATORS
APPEARED CALM AND RESPECTFUL.
A FAR CONTRAST FROM MAY.
FAMILIES OF 9/11 VICTIMS WERE
INVITED TO WATCH FROM NEW
JERSEY, MASSACHUSETTS, AND
MARYLAND, THE TERROR SUSPECTS
COULD FACE THE DEATH PENALTY.
A 14-YEAR-OLD PAKISTANI GIRL
HAS ARRIVED IN THE UK FOR
TREATMENT.
SHE SPOKE OUT FOR EDUCATION.
THE ATTACK HAS SPARKED OUTRAGE
IN PAKISTAN AND AROUND THE
WORLD.
MEDICAL OFFICIALS
TRANSPORTED HER FOR THE LONG
FLIGHT TO BRITAIN.
HER SKULL AND NECK WOUNDS ALONG
WITH THE SHOCK OF THE ATTACK ARE
SERIOUS ENOUGH, AUTHORITIES
DECIDED ON A PROLONGED STAY OUT
OF THE COUNTRY.
TALIBAN HAS THREATENED TO FINISH
THE JOB AND KILL HER.
SOME 10,000 DEMONSTRATORS
GATHERED TO PROTEST AGAINST IT
IS SHOOTING AND THE TALIBAN.
RALLY SPIRITED BUT NOT AS LARGE
AS THE CROWDS RECENTLY ASSEMBLED
TO PROTEST AGAINST THE FILM OF
MOHAMMED.
THIS PROTESTER SAYS WE SEE OUR
GIRLS ARE NOT SAFE WHEN THEY GO
TO SCHOOLS AND SEMINARIESEMINARIES.
THE TALIBAN GAGS THEIR MOUTH.
SHE FILED BLOG POSTS PROMOTED
EDUCATION FOR GIRLS.
IT WAS A COWARDLY ATTACK ON
HER AND HER SCHOOL FRIENDS
TRYING TO RETALIATE FOR HER OWN
CAMPAIGN FOR GOOD ACCESS TO
EDUCATION FOR GIRLS IN PAKISTAN.
JOHN WAAGE, CBN NEWS.
THE MORO ISLAMIC LIBERATION
FRONT HAS FOUGHT FOR AN ISLAMIC
STATE FOR DECADES.
MORE THAN 40 YEARS OF VIOLENCE

ISSING -- ANY WAR BETWEEN
CIVILIZED MAN AND SAVAGE,
SUPPORT THE CIVILIZED MAN.
SUPPORT ISRAEL.
DEFEAT JIHAD.
METRO POSTPONED THE ADS.
NOW 200 RELIGIOUS GROUPS ASKING
THE METRO TO DONATE THE MONEY IT
IS MAKING OFF THE ADVERTISING.
THE WORD SAVAGE HAS A PAINFUL
HISTORY AMERICANS KNOW ALL TOO
WELL.
IT IS ONCE USED TO JUSTIFY
MASSACRES AND SLAVERY.
IT SEEMS TO DEHUMANIZE, DISTANCE
PEOPLE FROM THE HUMAN RACE,
HUMAN DIGNITY AND ANY CLAIM TO
HUMAN RIGHTS.
THE GROUP BOUGHT ADS AT
SEVERAL MAJOR SUBWAY SYSTEMS
ACROSS THE COUNTRY.
UP NEXT, BIGGER THEY ARE,
HARDER THEY ARE TO BURY.
WHY MORE FUNERAL DIRECTORS ARE
TELLING CUSTOMERS, YOU ARE GOING
TO NEED A BIGGER BOX.
A NATIONWIDE SALMONELLA OUT
BREAK IS RECALLING OVER 400
PEANUT PRODUCTS.
PRODUCTS CONTAIN PEANUTS AND
PEANUT BUTTER.
IT HAS BEEN TRACEED TO A NEW
MEXICO PEANUT MANUFACTURER
CALLED SUNLAND INCORPORATE,
WAL-MART, TARGET, TRADER JOES
ARE SOME OF THE STORES THAT
CARRY THAT BRAND.
CENTERS FOR DISEASE CONTROL
IS STRUGGLING TO KEEP UP WITH
THE DEADLY MENINGITIS OUTBREAK.
OVER THE WEEKEND THE NUMBER OF
CASES JUMPS TO 205, 15 HAVE
DIED.
NEW ENGLAND COMPOUNDING CENTER
IS THE COMPANY RESPONSIBLE.
THEY ARE FACING SEVERAL LAWSUITS
AND CONGRESSIONAL INVESTIGATION.
CONGRESS MUST NOW WAKE UP,
PASS A LAW SO THAT THE FDA CAN
PROTECT THE AMERICAN HEALTH AND
SAFETY.
AS MANY AS 14,000 PEOPLE MAY
HAVE RECEIVED THE TAINTED
INJECTIONS ACCORDING TO THE CDC.
ONLY ONE-THIRD OF AMERICANS
MAINTAIN A HEALTHY WEIGHT,
ANOTHER THIRD CONSIDERED OVER
OVERWEIGHT AND ANOTHER THIRD
OBESE.
LORIE JOHNSON HAS THE STORY.
FOR THE LAST 130 YEARS, THE
NORTHWEST CASKET COMPANY HAS
BEEN MAKING PRODUCTS 24 INCHES
WIDE.
BUT NOW CUSTOMERS NEED THEM
BIGGER.
BASICALLY THE OVERSIZE HAS
TAKEN OVER A LOT.
THESE DAYS ONLY HALF ARE THE
STANDARD SIZE.
33 INCHES AND 55 INCHES FOR
REALLY LARGE PEOPLE.
THAT WOULD HOLD SOMEONE UP TO
1,000 POUNDS.
DID HE SAY 1,000 POUNDS?
AS THE POPULATION GETS
LARGER, OUR CASKETS GET LARGER.
BIGGER CASKETS SOMETIMES
REQUIRE TWO BURIAL PLOTS.
THEY REQUIRE SPECIAL VAULTS.
JUST LIKE IN LIFE, DEATH IS
OFTEN MORE COSTLY FOR THE
OVERWEIGHT AND OBESE.
A LOOK AT VOTERS GOING
AGAINST PARTY'S "NORMAL."
LONG TIME U.S. SENATOR ARLEN
SPECTER DIED SUNDAY MORNING
AFTER A LENGTHY BATTLE WITH NON
HODGKIN'S LYMPHOMA.
HE STARTED AND ENDED HIS CAREER
AS A DEMOCRAT.
HE SPENT MOST OF HIS YEAR AS A
REPUBLICAN.
HE VOTED FOR PRESIDENT OBAMA'S
STIMULUS PACKAGE.
HE HELPED BLOCK CONSERVATIVE
ROBERT BORK BUT ALSO HELPED
CLARENCE THOMAS MAKE IT TO THE
HIGH COURT.
THE LONGEST SERVING SENATOR IN
PENNSYLVANIA HISTORY.
ARLEN SPECTER IS AN ICON IN
PENNSYLVANIA.
HE STARTED OUT AS A YOUNG LAWYER
WORKING FOR THE WARREN
COMMISSION AFTER PRESIDENT
KENNEDY ASSASSINATED AND BECAME
A SENATOR AT A YOUNG AGE.
HE WOULD BE DOWN AT THE STANDS
AT STEELER'S GAMES INTRODUCING
HIMSELF GETTING TO KNOW THE
WHOLE STADIUM.
PUBLIC FUNERAL WILL BE HELD
TUESDAY IN PENNSYLVANIA.
IT IS RARE TO SEE A DEMOCRATS
FOR LIFE BANNER OR BUMPER
STICKER.
BEING PRO-LIFE IS OFTEN
ASSOCIATED WITH BEING A
REPUBLICAN.
REPORTER: PRO-LIFE DEMOCRATS.
NO, THAT IS NOT A MISTAKE.
IT IS A GROUP 21 MILLION STRONG.
ALTHOUGH THEY ARE THE FIRST TO
ADMIT, THEY ARE NOT EXACTLY THE
LIFE OF THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY.
IT IS REALLY TOUGH TO BE A
SOCIAL JUSTICE PRO-LIFE AMERICAN
CITIZ
CITIZEN. PRO-LIFE DEMOCRATS
WITNESS HOW TOUGH IT IS.
LAST MONTH'S NATIONAL
CONVENTION.
WE ACKNOWLEDGE ALL THE BIG
DIVERSITY, WHEN IT COMES TO
PRO-LIFE, IT IS SILENT.
THEY FIRST ADDED ABORTION IN
1976.
DEMOCRATIC PARTY STRONGLY
SUPPORTS ROW V WADE AND A
WOMAN'S RIGHTS INCLUDING A SAFE
AND LEGAL ABORTION REGARDLESS OF
AN ABILITY TO PAY.
WE OPPOSE ALL EFFORTS TO
UNDERMINE THAT RIGHT.
PRO-LIFERS WANT TO ADD LANGUAGE
ACKNOWLEDGING THERE ARE
DIFFERENCES OF OPINION ON
ABORTION.
PARTY LEADERS DENIED THE
REQUEST.
THEY SAY THAT DOESN'T MEAN THEY
ARE NOT HEARD.
WE KNOW THAT THEY ARE AT HOME
UNDER OUR BIG TENT.
I WOULD SAY TO ANYBODY, NOT ONLY
DO WE UNDERSTAND THAT
PERSPECTIVE EXISTS BUT WE
WELCOME IT AS PART OF A LARGER
DISCUSSION. IT COULD WEAKEN
THE DEMOCRAT BRAND.
THERE TENDS TO BE 176 PRO-CHOICE
DEMOCRATS SERVING IN THE HOUSE
OF REPRESENTATIVES.
DEMOCRATS NEED 218 SEATS.
PRO-LIFE REPUBLICANS CAN'T GET
THERE WITHOUT CANDIDATES LIKE
THEM.
THEY NEED US, WE NEED THEM.
LIMITING ABORTION IS
SOMETHING A MAJORITY OF
DEMOCRATS AGREE ON.
A 2011 GALLOP POLE
NEARLY 50 PERCENT SUPPORT
REQUIRING AN ULTRASOUND.
A QUARTER OF AMERICANS WHO VOTED
FOR PRESIDENT OBAMA IN 2008
IDENTIFIED THEMSELVES AS
PRO-LIFE.
WHY NOT SWITCH TO THE PRO-LIFE
FRIENDLY REPUBLICAN PARTY?
ANSWER BECAUSE THEY ARE
DEMOCRATS.
IF WE WERE LOOKING AT A
REPUBLICAN PARTY COMPASSIONATE
CONSERVATIVES IN FAVOR OF
BUILDING A THICK SOCIAL NET TO
PROVIDE THOSE THINGS, IT WOULD
BE A MUCH MORE COMPLICATED
QUESTION.
PART OF THE LIFE ISSUE IS THE
PROMISE OF ECONOMIC SUPPORT FOR
PREGNANT WOMEN.
WOMEN WHO BELIEVE THEY'LL HAVE
GOVERNMENT SUPPORT AFTER THE
BIRTH OF THEIR CHILD ARE LESS
LIKELY TO SUPPORT THEIR
PREGNANCY.
AS A PERSON ON FOOD STAMPS,
I KNOW HOW IMPORTANT THAT IS.
KATHY DOLLKEMPER WAS 21 WHEN
SHE GOT PREGNANT.
I FINISHED MY DEGREE.
WENT ON AND NEVER USED
GOVERNMENT ASSISTANCE AGAIN.
A PRO-LIFE STANCE COULD
ATTRACT PEOPLE OF FAITH TURNED
OFF BY THE PARTY STANCE.
THEY ARE MARGINALIZED,
OSTRACIZED AND EVEN CENSURED IN
THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY.
THAT IS WHY DEMOCRATS NO LONGER
HAVE PEOPLE LIKE ME.
THEY COULD IN THEY WOULD GIVE
THIS POWERFUL CONVICTION VOICE
IN THEIR NATIONAL -- ON THEIR
NATIONAL PLATFORMS.
DOLLKEMPER BELIEVES IT COMES
DOWN TO MONEY.
THEY CAN RAISE A LOT OF MONEY
WHEN IT IS A PROMINENT ISSUE.
BEING A MINORITY GIVES YOU
AROUND TO PRO-LIFE DEMOCRATS TO
GET YOU BACK INTO THE MAJORITY.
HOPEFULLY ADDING TO THEIR
RANKS, JENNIFER WISHON, CBN
NEWS.
FINALLY TONIGHT, DAREDEVIL
SKYDIVER FELIX BAUMGARTNER
PLUNGED MORE THAN 24 MILES

MILES PER HOUR IN THE FREE FALL.
BAUMGARTNER'S DECENT LASTED JUST
OVER FOUR MINUTES AND LANDED ON
HIS FEET IN THE NEW MEXICO

ON.

I DON'T KNOW IF I WOULD DO IT
