Take your Newt crap and stuff it. Levin is not pimping out Romney.
I listened to him the night Santorum dropped out. Levin basically said, to the Romney people, look, you fools, you have destroyed the Reagan coalition with your relentlessly negative ads. Unless you find a way to restore that coalition, you will lose the election in the fall.
1. You better find a truly conservative running mate. (Translated, don’t even think of choosing Christie).
2. You broke the coalition. It’s your job to put it together again. And it won’t be easy. So you better start listening to conservatives now.
Or else you will lose in November.
That’s not pimping out Romney. That’s warning Romney that he may have won the nomination but he will lose in the fall if he doesn’t take certain steps.
Levin has made it abundantly clear that he has little use for Romney. He doesn’t think we can survive four more years of Obama. So he is taking deliberate, intelligent steps to try to avoid that.
Levin is taking the small space left to us and doing what he can with it. He is not falling in line with the GOP establishment. He has done everything except that. And for you to accuse him of it is despicable.
It may be more fun to whistle past the graveyard. Patriots try to make lemonade out of lemons.
The pimping accusation is calumny against Levin. He has been consistent in his anyone but Romney stance as long as there was “anyone.”
There was, and his name is Newt Gingrich.

I stated my thoughts clearly and without name calling, and you don't need to call me names.
All you say about Levin despising Romney is true in so far as what I have heard say as much, but the undeniable fact is, when you supposedly despise someone as much as you say Levin does romney, then how do you get on the air, and tell your listeners, we have to work together to pull out a victory for Romney.
He had said he would support Romney when he was the nominee. The primaries are still ongoing, and because Levin and many others have declared romney the winner, doesn't make it so.
Don't demean people who support Newt. I plan on supporting Romney IF he is the nominee, I consider that my duty to my country. But there is still a chance... you might not agree, but don't dismiss those who do...
One of my posts a few days ago follows. It basically says that Patriots do other things rather than making lemonade from lemons. They cannon back the lemons to those advocating for them... There are many definitions of Patriots, friend. Trying to present Romney as a conservative, is not one of them. Sorry.

While everyone is in the weeds counting delegates and wondering who Santorum will endorse (it will be Romney), few people are talking about the degree to which the GOP will be emboldened if Romney gets the nomination. It will be a sign to them they can get the evangelical, social and fiscal conservatives to fall in line, all they have to do is wait them out.
A few days ago, Mark Levin said he was disgusted with the Republican establishment, right after he said, 'we conservatives have to work together to pull out a victory for Mitt Romney’, just one of the presumed conservatives who have fallen in line with the GOP this past week. Establishment Republicans now know without a doubt that the base, its leaders and luminaries, can get to the point of total disgust with the GOP, and they will still fall in line.
Last cycle, Huckabee helped split the conservative vote, and make a path for the squishy one. This time it's Romney in the it’s my turn circle… Next year it will be Santorum. And Santorum will be sufficiently and properly neutered if he gets his turn next, count on it.
And where is last cycle’s Santorum, Mike Huckabee, who played the evangelicals big time in 2008, right now? Hosting a radio show competing with Rush.
We are at the breach, and there is still time, though barely. If people like Levin, DeMint, Sarah, etc., would jump in now – and they won’t – grab this moment, secure it and swing it back full bore at the GOP, the King Georgers would get a message loud and clear, they can't take the base for granted. And maybe the next time they think about trying their Karl Rove Gambit, they won't.
We can't look for help or expect anyone with power to give us a hand. We can either stand up and get in the battle, or hand the GOP another reward, a compliant conservative base, whom the GOP already despises and take for granted.

Well, you can take your Romney propoganda and stick it where the sun don’t shine.
We still have a primary going on where almost half the country has not had their say, nor have the delegates at the convention had a chance to discuss this and vote on this Romney nomination idiocy, and you come bloviating and calling people names because they object to abandoning the conservative that stayed in this race?
I listen to Levin too, and he he raised the white flag about four months early, and a lot of conservatives know it. I don’t need you interpreting for me what Levin did and is doing, and it is a big mistake.
So, the ex-Speaker of the House who led the conservative takeover of the House in 1994 and the House itself and pretty much the conservative movement, until the Bonior/ Boehner group ousted him, is not “anyone”?
Stuff it, yourself.
“Take your Newt crap and stuff it.”
You and people like you can take your Romney crap and stuff it.
You seem to be missing the point. The role of a talk show host is not to give advice or otherwise mold a candidate into something they are not.
To try to give advice to Romney on how to “act” Conservative is to attempt to teach my pet pig to sing.
What many of us are disappointed about is that Levin was standing up for conservative constitutional principles in ripping Mittens and rightfully so..
No matter if Mark claims that he will now continue to “hold Romney’s feet to the fire”..an about face and a cop out and he knows it. That’s why he sounds defeatest lately.
Why he bailed is between him and his conscience.
We are now rudderless in the land of gullible conservative talk show hosts. And as they are human, we can’t expect them to rescue us and we are smarter and more informed than most of them anyway..
We the People will have to find our own way to fight the good fight for the future of our Republic.
AMEN!
Voting for Romney isn't falling in line with the Republican establishment?
The establishment doesn't give a rat's behind how much conservatives complain so long as the Mark Levins of the world end up voting for whoever they put up.
There is no reason for the establishment to change for them to move to the right so long as conservatives will always buckle and support the Republican nominee.
If Mark Levin was a Freeper, he would been zotted by now. But he is trying to get rid of Obama, just like the rest of us out here who love our country.
