There is something unethical, even immoral going on with the so-called conservative media regarding Romney. Rush and Mark Levin have taken to serving as Romney's on-air consultancy; which is translated, they are trying to telegraph talking points, position statements, and ideas that Romney needs to articulate to appeal to the base. Including the speech noted in the article, which Mark Levin gave with the hope Mitt Romney's people were listening.

It is one thing to fall into line with the GOP, that may be a matter of fear, or protecting oneself from retribution. But to try and pimp Romney out as a conservative, and to give him the camouflage and apply the make-up for him to deceive the base, and become acceptable to them is far short of what I would have expected from either of these so-called conservative media leaders. I believe Sean Hannity is in on the extreme Romney makeover, also.

NEWT! The Last Conservative Standing. He doesn't need coaching or consultants to talk conservatism FROM THE HEART...

BEWARE.

Romney has no more understanding of Conservatism than does Obama. They are both very much alike ~ and even belong to very similar religious bodies.

Mark Levin pleads to the severe RINO to be otherwise.

He would have a better likelihood of
pleading to a rotting piece of meat to be 'fresh'.

All for Newt, but the fact is barring an unusual occurrence, this is over. Mark has been trying to coax the Romney campaign to be more effective for the past couple weeks since it became apparent he was going to win it.

Politics is a mix of idealism and realism....we have to be real, and Levin is dealing with the reality that Mitt is all but certain to be the standard-bearer.

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.”

“Well the Republican establishment got its way,” Levin said. “The Republican establishment has won yet again. Some of you are very upset about it. Some of you are self-delusional — not many. Some of you are thinking, ‘Well, what you mean? This is conservatism.’ No it’s not. Just because you’re not Obama doesn’t mean you’re a conservative or a constitutionalist.”

But instead of dwelling on the pros and cons of Romney, Levin encouraged his listeners to focus on defeating President Barack Obama in the upcoming election.

“But in this election, ladies and gentlemen, we have to be realists,” he continued. “And the reality is this country will not survive as free — our private property rights will be incredibly diminished; our Constitution will be abused daily; you will be more frustrated than ever before with fewer liberties and fewer rights than ever before — if we do not defeat Barack Obama. It’s that simple. There’s nothing complex about this.”

We need to send a message to Romney and Levin: Actions speak louder than words.

Levin is the perfect example of good men who allow FEAR to affect their judgement. What Levin has written, no longer applies as his actions have now spoken volumes. This is just pitiful. What a betrayal to conservatism.

Anybody want to buy a couple of books?

I will NEVER vote for a liberal posing as a Republican for as long as I live. I don't care if Armageddon is on the line (which may be the case here) I WON'T DO IT!

The last time I voted for a liberal posing as a Republican was when I voted for this idiot for Mayor in 2001 here in New York city because at the time he seemed the best choice and was endorsed by Rudy Guliani who I once respected....

Now here I am over 10 years later living under Despotism with this psychopath the Despot issuing edicts almost everyday.

The Constitution - Gone! (only out of state OWS protestors and Muslims who want to bring grief to the 911 families have constitutional rights it seems) Individual freedoms -Gone! Property rights - Gone! Privacy - Gone! My money - Gone! - every week to support welfare breeding cows. How the private sector wants to conduct legal business - Gone! How people want to spend their night out - Gone! How people want to eat - Gone! How people want to drink - Gone! How people want to do anything - GONE GONE GONE!

We are only allowed to do what the Depot allows us to do!

Today he issued another decree that all apartment building owners must send a list to the city of all the apartments in the building that "has smoking"...In other words "tell us who is smoking"...AKA the Nazi decree "tell us how many Jews are in your tenement".

And this is just the tip of the iceberg with this absolute freakin psychopath. A few months ago he wanted to ban booze! That's right, PROHIBITION! Oh yes, then he confiscated food donated to the homeless because he did not deem it "nutritious". Oh yes and if you miss paying a couple parking tickets from his traffic scams, say goodbye to your car which has happened to me TWICE already. That's right, your property is stolen by the city of New Yor because you were foolish to leave it parked in the street LEGALLY or what use to be legally.

Oh yes, and TERM LIMITS?? Forget about that! The Despot is able to do away with that and make himself RULER FOR LIFE!

THIS IS WHAT YOU GET WHEN YOU VOTE FOR A LIBERAL POSING AS A REUBLICAN. ALWAYS CHECK OUT A CANDIDATES HISTORY! This a-hole was from Assachussets and I would have NEVER have voted for him if I knew that because like my Grandma use to tell me "Never trust a politician from Assachussets(which is how she use to pronounce it)"...My God, she was so right.

I heard that on Levin’s show. The trouble is, nobody with half a brain would believe Romney means it.

Conservative Republicans like Levin are the Frog, Romney is the Scorpion.


A scorpion wanted to cross a river, so he asked the frog to carry him. The frog refused because the scorpion would sting him.

“That would not be logical,” explained the scorpion, “because if I sting you we will both drown.”

So the frog agreed to carry the scorpion.

Half way across, the frog felt a terrible pain - the scorpion had stung him.

“There is no logic in this,” exclaimed the frog, as he began to sink beneath the waves.

“I know,” replied the scorpion, “but I cannot help it - it is my character.”

"NEWT! The Last Conservative Standing."

If one is to be so pure about 'conservatives' that it causes a label to be placed on Levin and Rush as "so-called conservatives", then one can dig up sufficient "quotes" and "positions" (on one called "Newt Gingrich") to make it laughable to state: "NEWT! The Last Conservative Standing."

Re Levin and Rush . . . do you think it could have anything to do with Bain owning Clear Channel? As I understand it, Clear Channel is privately held by Bain and Thomas H. Lee LP.

I would hate to think there was a connection . . . :(

Get real. Santorum was the last true conservative standing with 11 state wins and over 3 million votes cast. He unfortunately withdrew for family reasons and lack of cash. Newt is not even in the game. He’s polling in single digits. At this point what Gingrich says or does is of no consequence. We need to make the best of a bad situation and concentrate on the VP choice. Gingrich himself says he plans to influence the party platform and has conceded that Romney is the likely nominee. This game is over. We need to stop eating our own like Levin, Rush, and Hannity. This is now a salvage operation. Every conservative knows this. The delegate and pollng numbers tell the story. It’s anybody but Obama. Period.
