I took what Glenn Beck said as McCain would have been worse because he would have been middle of the road. Our country needs to get back to what the founders intended for us. McCain would not do that. Because obama is in office, he is causing such an uproar that millions of people are petitioning, gathering, writing, emailing, etc. obama is causing another revolution (either at the polls in 2010 and 2012 or in the streets) and those demonstrating and speaking out are want to uphold the Constitution. If McCain had won the election, none of this would be taking place. The same old lefty-loonies would be out there, but the conservative movement would do nothing but gripe. Maybe my interpretation is off.
McCain would have been a Judas Goat
The Lord moves in mysterious ways. Maybe having Zero in office will wake people up. McCain is the slow boiling of the frog while BamBam is just dumping it in scalding water.
I just hope and pray that people wake up in time to reverse the damage this administration is doing to the country.
Bingo. Had McLame won, he would have reached agreement with the libs and Republicans would have lined up behind their guy. We would long ago have had some type of socialized medicine bill and we would be well on our way to legalizing some 10 million illegals and importing another 20 million of their relatives relatives - cementing democrat power for eternity.
not hardly...my vision is for about 100 million individuals to stand up and demand a return to American exceptionalism...
and when they [ALL the scum pols in All the capitol buildings coast to coast] thumb their noses at us, that we simply march down and rip them ALL apart, limb from limb, and remind those who wish to SERVE the country what their place actually is...
I think that your interpretation is correct, goodwithagun.
But this whole thing is ridicules: this type of infighting in out camp helps no one. There were many threads on FR on Levin/Beck with both of them thrown under the bus by Freepers. Hello? Levin is a RINO? Give me a break!
Reagan was correct on his 11th commandment
To the point of Obama’s presidency being a blessing in disguise: it remains to be seen, and we won’t know for another 3 years.
IF Obama and his chumps succeed in their agenda, we are going to have FUNDAMENTAL changes to American SYSTEM. As we know from history of such changes, like FDR’s - they are practically irreversible. For all McCain’s propensity of playing with by-partisan appeasement, he would still stink, but within parameters of the system. And our system is very robust and can withstand quite a bit of abuse. he would not done any structural changes.
IF Obama’s agenda is stopped because the Left got greedy and overreached and woke up a sleeping giant, than OK, it may be called a beneficial shake up.
I remain optimistic that the second is the case, but to say that McCain would be more dangerous - no way.
Right. How many times did you cringe when McCain’s face came on TV to support liberal Democrat legislation? For me, every time McCain spoke I felt heart sick. He sounds strong on national defense but on every other issue, he is like a puppy waiting for a democrat or media type to rub his belly and he’ll do anything to get the reward.
I don’t think your interpretation is off. I think it’s right on the money.
The trouble is, Glenn didn't say that during the interview. When Couric asked him why he thought McCain would have been worse, he said something about McCain being this kind of weird progressive guy along the lines of Theodore Roosevelt. It was foolish (and I love Glenn -- and Mark). I think he wanted a shocking soundbite, and he sure got one.
I see the good things that are coming from Obama's election -- such as lazy conservatives finally getting off their collective butt, conservatives learning and applying the Alinsky rules, etc. -- but four years of Obama and his socialist buddies in control is very bad for this country. For starters, Obama will probably have two Supreme Court picks, and we'll live with the consequences of that for decades to come.
This is NOT better than McCain, and clever talk won't make it so. When you want to travel from RINO Republicanism to true conservatism, you don't want to start your journey by getting tossed from RINOland back to socialism/progressivism. You just have that much further to go and that much more work to do. It's strained logic to suggest that falling even further behind and having even more damage done is good for the country.
If you’re “off”, then so am I, because that’s the same understanding I got out of what he has explained.
Seems right on to me.

Had the same read on his comments.
Beck is the only one who points out where things are going, and does actual followup on his comments.
Regarding McCain analysis, he’s ahead of the curve on that one also.
Things would not be so clear if John M was president, and there would be a lot more bi-partisanship for the wrong reasons.
McCain has not been, is not now, and never will be middle of the road.
John is a leftist. He doesn’t get Conservatism and never will.
John is about twenty seven or so years overdue to be put out to pasture.
Good post. I completely agree. Was McCain for Cap and trade...yes! Was he against the tax cuts? Yes.
Was he anti-gun? Yes! If I heard gun-show loop hole out of his pie hole one more time I think I would have spewed!
Glen was spot-on on this one.
