Not sure WFB is technically “in this country” anymore.

[Parley Baer]

I just voted for Rush.

[ExcursionGuy84]

I'm with SARAH PALIN as well.

She appeals to so many American citizens with her common sense, anti-corruption, what's-best-for-the-country attitude.

[dfwgator]

Ronald Reagan.

[dfwgator]

And the man who inspired Reagan, Barry Goldwater.

[rlbedfor]

Rush for sure.

[fish hawk]

Let me ask you a question. Did you know Scott Brown a year ago? Two years ago? I thought not. A flash in the pan compared to Rush. AND, Brown is conservative on some, or even most issues. Rush is the Grandfather of ALL conservative issues.

[Neoliberalnot]

Rush has been the leader for many years now. You can gage Rush’s success by how much the libs and progs seek to undermine him, hate him, and lie about him.

[GonzoGOP]

Sara Palin over the last year. Love her or hate her you cannot ignore her. Rush (Who I would rank a close second)has three hours a day and wasn't able to move the Obamacare debate as much as Gov Palin did with one "Death Panels" post to facebook. Beck has also had a few big victories against ACORN and Jones. But I'm not sure he would say he was a conservative.

To use the metaphor of the old action movies. Rush is the wise old sage, who has been around forever, who knows the enemy and holds the secrets of how to defeat them. Gov. Palin and Beck are the impulsive young students taking the fight to the enemy.

Over the long run, it has been Limbaugh. Right now, or in the near future, it might be Palin.

[3niner]

;)

[ANGGAPO]

I will second your vote. Though it would be constructive if Beck would attempt to teach Americans what and how we arrived at a Constitution to guide our country. I get the impression that most Americans knowledge of our history, as a country, only extends back to about 1930. And this is a damned shame.

[greeneyes]

The memory of Ronald Regan speaks to me. When I get discouraged, I listen to clips of his speeches.

No one person has yet emerged from the pack for me. We need someone to emerge who can plan the strategy to take back Congress-like Newt did with the contract for America.

Then, a freedom loving candidate for president who can articulate the benefits of smaller government.

[mikelets456]

Key words “right now”... meaning “in the next few days” will have a profound change on this country.

[MNJohnnie]

If you consider Glen Beck a Conservative, he is by far the most influential. However, I not sure if you classify him as Libertarian or Conservative.

[hflynn]

If the question were who has the most influence on conservative thought in this country the answer is BARRACK INSANE OBAMA.
