Oh please, Glenn went on O’Reilly and said it was basically over and everyone should get behind Romney. He was parroting what the Romney camp was saying. Glenn also supported Ron Paul and Michael Bachmann but never Newt who he viciously attacked after he won South Carolina. Glenn has been playing games.

That is Kilmeade’s role, to call out guests on that show.

(I think they keep hoping he’ll provoke an actual fist fight during sweeps week)

Santorum is going to be a whiner type isn’t he?

If Newt had said this you'd be screaming how brilliant he was, how he stood up to the press when no one else would. Bit of hypocrisy here.

Where is the proof? Sure, idiots like Karl Rove want another liberal like George Bush in office, but Karl Rove doesn’t talk FOR Fox News.

Another crybaby — like Newt. Waaaaah

Ever notice how little time Mitt wastes on Fox?

There’s Little Ricky on night after night.

Sadly, I think whining is starting to sell. It’s a time filler for having nothing to say.

Kind of like text filler when someone doesn't have a legitimate argument to make, so they drag out the unending "whiner" charge.

No Skin in the Game:

In 2008, with the money gone, they made sure to scurry back to D.C., pay each other off with, “no skin in the game.” Throwing private business and lifetime savers to the sewer of inflation. Keeping their own salaries and incomes above the effects. “No skin in the game.”

When the plan failed they went into frantic mode, making certain to pass Arbeitsziehungslager-Care, again making sure their “skin is not in the game” by exempting themselves. (And therefore ignoring hundreds of thousands marching on D.C.) “No skin in the game.”

Now, facing the sewer themselves, installation of the MassachusettsMandate Implementationer, exempt themselves, again with “no skin in the game.”

These Exempt Ones, living high on everyone elses expense, need a taste of “skin in the game” living, saving, working, performing. Not taking.

The installation of Massachusetts Mandate Mitt, fits right into their “no skin in the game” plans, never having to face the real meaning of the Constitution. They need a taste of the sewer too.

2014 U.S. Territory, Forced Labor Camp: age 26.

I can see his point. They may have the candidates on equally, but every republican strategist they invite IS pushing Romney.

Well, that's because most of the strategists are pushing for Romney. It's hard to invite strategists pushing for Santorum if there aren't that many of them.

Romney clearly has some advantages, but the bottom line is that voters have the right to choose who they wish. The fact that Romney isn't getting over 50% suggests that voters are able to think for themselves despite Romeny's money. And the fact that neither Santorum nor Newt has managed to overcome him says something about their popularity as well. If Santorum or Newt (who I voted for) were able to catch fire like Reagan did in overcoming the establishment George Bush in 1980, Romney's advantages wouldn't matter.

The bottom line is that this is just whining that doesn't help Santorum. And it is particularly dumb to waste time whining when you're on a national platform like Fox & Friends, because all you're going to do is leave voters with the impression that you're a whiner.

The rules aren't going to change, the money isn't going to change, so you've got to win with what you've got.

Although I am a Santorum supporter, I agree with you that he sounded like a whiner. Unfortunately he keeps making foolish comments that divert from real issues. Yes, he is not the perfect candidate but I see him as the best. Actually, I have seen him and Newt more often on Fox than Romney.

He should be concerned with all the TV shows shilling for Obama. Have you seen Letterman lately? It is no longer entertainment but an "Attack the GOP" show. I have watched it recently just to see for myself. Every night, in every way, it has been attacking the GOP, but not the Democrats. The same holds for Leno - I don't know for other late shows.

Newt is the fiscally conservative I trust. His record in congress proves that. Santorum voted again and again to raise spending. Rick says he did it for the team. Is that the type of leader to trust?

I thought GB was for Santorum, I heard something he said on O’Riley’s show the other night that led me to believe he was now supporting Romney, but I had just walked into the room and I didn’t have control of the volume. It wouldn’t surprise me. I really thought when he was hyping Santorum while in a viscous vendetta agains Newt but also had unkind words for those who support Newt and would then come out against Santorum if he threatned Santorum. If true, it may explain why I haven’t heard from my GB fan and Rick Santorum friend lately. And as a disclaimer I’m not a GB fan and won’t watch him anymore. What I’ve heard from him lately is from my friend campaigning for Santorum.

Thank you for noticing the whine factor.

I remain astonished that there are those who believe Santorum offers conservatives anything except for his speaking principle on contraception, which mostly missed hitting the target. The target was to keep this fight out of the weeds of contraception debates and on the loss of Freedom of Religion and Freedom of Speech, by which it will be won or lost.

He finally dropped it, but like Rush with the name calling diversion, the fall out from taking us into the weeds of Church teachings and preaching it to a protestant electorate obscured for DAYS the solid constitutional arguements by which these Rights rise or fall.

Other than his laudible holy walk, his record leans union and moderate, and his service was not outstanding but ordinary Republican GOP Establishment.

Beck has a mental illness.

When he first became syndicated on the radio {I think out of Philly} he was really funny. politically incorrect, but had an amazing ability to put satire with facts and make things simple to understand and very entertaining.

When he moved to NY his brain started to fog over.

By the time he switched from CNN to FOX he was becoming so involved with himself, his self education, his view of the impending doom, that his mental self destruction was becoming obvious.

He is now certifiable, and if a head test were given to Beck, he'd be dragged out in a strait-jacket.

He's become an obnoxious, arrogant, self centered lunatic.

When Beck now comes on, I turn it off. I refuse to let a crazy man aggravate me.

That's what I am wondering, whining now is not a stradegy.

Yes, we all know Fox is in the tank for Romney, but that's just the way it is, and no need to complain about it to them, they don't care, and they will only make you look more petty.

“if he threatned Santorum.”

Should read, “if he threatned Romney.”

“The target was to keep this fight out of the weeds of contraception debates and on the loss of Freedom of Religion and Freedom of Speech, by which it will be won or lost.”

Largely on target, but I favor a more united approach. To me the issue is government defining health insurance. The loss of everyone’s freedom. I think the left wants to splinter us into groups.

When he moved to NY his brain started to fog over.

Probably when he started to become a Mormon. Much of Beck's material, i.e. self education and dooms day prep is right out of Mormon culture. I'm sure the LDS was pleased with his attempt to lump Mormonism as just another Christian religion when he had his t.v. show on Fox and had a panel of Christian pastors on their kissing his butt.

When I started listening to Beck, I could never understand why Mark Levin could not stand him. Now I know and it goes beyond Beck taking credit for other people's work.
