Levin: Staying home on Election Day? Don't pretend you're doing the 'moral' thing
CR ^ | October 10, 2016 | Phil Shiver

Posted on 10/15/2016 10:00:09 AM PDT by conservative98

“I’m starting to think about this morality stuff,” Conservative Review Editor-in-Chief Mark Levin said as he began his radio show Monday night. “Everything we do should involve morality … but let me ask you a question: If you were alive during George Washington’s times, would you have voted for George Washington?”

Levin then went on to list the moral failings of past politicians from the slave-owning founders, to the adulterous John F. Kennedy, to Bill Clinton himself, and so on.

“I’m not defending Donald Trump,” Levin exclaimed. “I’m trying to understand hypocrisy.” Referring to the Republican lawmakers that have since dropped their support for Donald Trump following the release of a 2005 video where Trump makes lewd remarks about women.

Levin never gave approval to what Trump said in the 2005 audio tape, in fact, he called it “disgusting” and “pathetic.” But he made clear he did not intend to join the “RINOs” who are using it as an excuse for pulling their support.

At the close of the clip, Levin declared, “It is NOT the moral and principled thing to do to stand down in this election ... It is NOT the conservative thing to do to stand down in this election.”

LEVIN is all mouth and no action. Who knows who’s team he is playing on.

I respect your view on his comment, and I don’t have any argument with how you have assessed it.

I do not have any beef with you at all, but I have a big old beef with Levin.

In fact, I am furious and disgusted with him. He and I no longer see eye to eye.

Okay. BUT, I would like to know why you are picking a fight with good folks on this thread. First about a truthful statement, and then about a conjunction.

American spine exists in about half the country.

American common sense in about a third.

Most are led by their noses and/or their impulses.

Well, because I am one of those guys who will be voting for Trump with misgivings, and agree with Levin. So the incessant whining, while maybe not even on your radar, is apparent to me. (And I share Levin’s skepticism about that Sundance bozo).

“Being Mormon, one can understand GLENN BECK & MITT ROMNEY’S (direct ancestor to John Smith) frenzy to disenfranchise DONALD TRUMP to fulfill the prophesy themselves, but MARK LEVIN?????”

Yeah, Mark Levin is just another Secular Progressive Jew with a schtick to make a living of of conservative gentiles. BTW, It’s Joseph Smith not John!

The cult of personality is the only thing that has kept Levin on the air.
Those with sense tuned him out some time ago.

I’ve been listing to Mark for quite some time, still do for about an hour a day.. he has finally come around to urging people to vote for Trump, SOLELY as a vehicle to stop Hillary.. he still bashes him at every change he gets... he still disgusts me, but not as much as Johah Goldberg, John Podhoretz, Bill Kristol, Erick Erickson, Beck, and the other NeverTrump vermin.


Podhortz blocked me on twitter for civilly asking if Sen. Sessions was still a “prostitute” (as National Review called him) for supporting Trump. He and the rest are elitist scum. I’ll never, ever vote for any candidate they support.

Mark is starting to remind me of what happened in Jerusalem just before Rome sacked it in 70AD.
Both the Christians and Jews were fighting each other claiming moral superiority.

Eventually it was so bad that they were destroying the oppositions food supply.
The result was everyone who stayed in Jerusalem died when Rome invaded.
The few who got out documented the horror inside the city.

he’ll never be elected outside of TX ever again.
**************************

He is ineligible to be President or Vice President and he’ll be lucky to keep his Senate seat after what he did at the convention.

Fake? I’m quite certain I remember, oh wait 100% remember the boards blowing up because said Jr. Senator was THE ONLY Senator fighting Obama care and most willing to shut down the Government when the media, his colleagues and democrats were relentlessly bashing him in public. Yet...he didn’t waver an inch...how convienent to lambast him and state he hasn’t accomplished anything more worthy.

That’s easy to say when no one in Congress is willing to do what the voters demanded! How do you propose Ted do anything? Hmm? What is your yard stick for “anything?” See I believe you’ve gotten caught up in the hysteria of a populist movement that erases history for the benefit of a cantidate. You truly believe our present cantidate should hebwin will do absolutely anything with a fully unwilling Congress?

Wel’ll revisit this 9 months from now when he wins and we’ll see if you are singing the same tune about accomplishing anything. It’s very convienent and easy to cast stained and forget someone’s entire book of work for the sake of pushing someone in that yes other than business truly hasn’t accomplished anything politically other than donate and speak to liberal causes. But hey let’s all just mosey in and forget any of that messy stuff eh?

I can be rude at times, even though my moniker indicates that I’m a fan of ska music. But I would never be rude enough to discuss you behind your back [hint].

Had to look up ska music.
Still don’t get where the name comes from that.
I forgot my FR manners and should have added you to the reply.

Have a look at Cruz’s twitter. He’s tweeting about Ike & Thatcher but nothing about defeating Hillary Criminal. The man is delusional.
