Governor Mitt Romney, moderate from Massachusetts, father of Romney Care, wealthy, Mormon, and blue blood took a pretty good stomping in South Carolina. Why?
Well, one reason appears to be he would not reveal his tax returns. By his own admission Mr. Wealth admitted that he was paying about 15% as his federal income tax rates! What's that mean? It means he is so wealthy he lives off his long term investments. Now this is the politician who creates a state health care program in Massachusetts, and wants the tax payers of the state to pay for it. Romney's plan was the prototype for Obama Care! Socialism, whether at the federal level, or at the state level is still socialism and anti-American!
For years, the RINO's in the Republican Party have been telling the conservatives within the party that we had to take the lesser of two evils. That led to George Bush I & II, Bob Dole, and John McCain. It also led to 17 trillion in debt, two major wars in Iraq and Afghanistan while not guarding the US - Mexican border, failure to develop US energy resources, huge unemployment and a general dependence on the government. That's what the lesser of two evils strategy has gotten us.
Glen Beck is spending three hours a day using his sarcasm to attack Newt Gingrich. No objectivity, no discussion, just typical Beck propaganda! But Glen I got some news for you.
This time conservatives, Just Say No! We either want Sarah Palin, or we want someone who will actually reverse course. We want someone who will reduce federal spending, eliminate centralization of power through the elimination of the federal Department of Education, and EPA, and federal money for the arts, and earmarks for Congressman.
TEA PARTY, where are you? Don't lay quiet and think that like a bunch of cheer leaders you are gonna run onto to the field after the choices are made. Either you stand for something or you don't. If you stand for something, than pick your candidate based on what you stand for...and announce.
America is at a Cross Roads. This is not a time to go soft. This is not a time to wait, to join the bandwagon after the decisions have been made. Americans, time for you to speak your mind.
Glen Beck every day proves he is not what he said he was. Every day Beck turns from his Christianity to promote a non-Christian!
South Carolina you did your job! South Carolina, as you have so many times in the past, you have stood up and were counted. South Carolina you made a difference. You have given the people a choice!
Florida, the game is in your court. Many in Florida are northeasterners! For years I have called Florida the sixth county of New York City! I believe those "Floridians" will vote for Romney, their northeastern kin! I believe the Yankees will stick together! Florida, your entire economic base is built on tourism! Therefore you should be very concerned with big picture economics! The better the US economy, the better your state will do. But, socialism, Obama Care, huge mountains of debt, and globalism, and false issues like Global Warming are hobbling the US economy, and thus your hotels are empty! All your tourist end points, like Disneyland, Ft. Lauderdale, etc. are suffering because Americans don't have the disposable income to go on vacations to Florida!
Florida, you best wake up. Who is better for your economy? Is it Romney and his RINOism which would pretty much carry on the economic policies of Obama, or is it a more conservative economic policy focused on rebuilding the US economy, In part this is about developing US energy resources! In part, this about is about retaking the US marketplace for American made goods, and in part this about cutting back on the "entitlement" state!
Florida you are a core economic nod gel within the American economy. It's up to you. South Carolina has sent a message. They have reset this primary, and demonstrated that the people are tired of the status quo. Florida, we need to reclaim our heritage, not at a parade, or 4th of July ceremony. We need to reclaim our heritage in policy and practice! We need to reclaim our Judeo-Christian faiths, and our capitalist economic models.
He has consistently supported Bachmann, Santorum, and Perry, in that order. As each of them have fallen he has maintained that support, and now backs Santorum.
Folks on FR these days seem to hear support for Romney when someone doesn't praise their favorite candidate. Heck, I've even seen FReepers call Rush an "extreme leftist, Romney hack" in the last few weeks!
To be more specific its capital gains that are taxed at 15%.
Interest and Dividends are taxed at a higher rate unless the are invested is TAX free securities issued by gov’t entities.
We're witnessing cult brainwashing in action. What obviously doesn't make sense to use makes perfect sense to him BECAUSE HIS MIND HAS BEEN WARPED BY A CULT ! He's John Birch society one second and defending Romney the next.
Thank God for Freerepublic and Christian Tea Partiers....Our only chance to keep the Salt Lake cult from taking over a second third of our national government.
If I hear another "conservative" (whatever that means anymore) make this case against Mittens, my head is going to explode.
Seriously, are we so out of arguments that we need to go with this idiotic Marxist class-envy route? Are we this lost?
Beck is a sssssnaake who worships at the altar of that baby killing, homosexual loving, gun grabbing, commie care pushing Willard.
Get lost! go and defend that vicks under the eyes, sssssslithering little sssssssssssnake elsewhere.
He put Vicks under his eye during a photo-shoot in which he was mocking himself. Unsubscribe to those Media Matters email updates and you’ll be better informed.
I completely agree. I think many are trying to fool themselves with Newt. Nine months ago 90% of the people on this site couldn’t stand the man. He’s a big government solutions guy and is going to be a big disappointment.
And Beck does not support Romney. If these people ever listened to his show they would know that Beck said if Romney becomes president the nation is finished.
The Mormon cult that he renounced Christ for.
This thread should help explain Beck supporting Romney, and we all know that Santorum is just a beard, Santorum is no threat to Romney, but the man that Beck is freaking out against, Newt Gingrich, can beat Romney, and Beck knows that.

Beck-”I have to tell you that Mitt Romney could be the only guy that could win, and I dont know if he could because I think that Americans are going to be I mean, this country is going to be in deep trouble by 2012, and the next term, if its not decided this term, the next term will decide our fate. Then I hope that Americans are ready for an adult and are ready for hard news.”
Well it is posted by the same person who would put every negative ‘article’, rumour, leftist rant, vile accusation, against Governor Palin for 3 years. Must be moving on to Glenn Beck now I guess.
Did we run when the Germans attacked Pearl Harbor?
Don't stop him, he's on a roll.
Here's one I couldn't resist; Otter and Mrs. Werner at the toga party.
They are oldies, but goodies.
Beck is a sssssnaake who worships at the altar of that baby killing, homosexual loving, gun grabbing, commie care pushing Willard.
Get lost! go and defend that vicks under the eyes, sssssslithering little sssssssssssnake elsewhere.
I rest my case.
Spot on!
For decades, conservatives have openly yearned for a conservative network. Now there is one: GBTV.
Beck is adding shows at the moment. Shows are being tweaked, changed and some are still in conceptual phases. Beck is really only on GBTV 4 days a week, so it isn’t like he is hogging his own air.
I don’t listen to his radio show, although I find the 4th Hour quite weird and can only take a few minutes of it. I only manage about an hour all together of the Glenn Beck Show on GBTV, just because it comes at a time when I am in the middle of work, making dinner and just generally not able to sit and watch. Sometimes, I catch it on replay.
I find Glenn very interesting. He is into several projects at any one time and for the record, his books have consistently made #1. I have only bought and read one of his books, myself, The Overton Window. But the others seem to have a loyal audience.
Whatever Glenn makes from subscriptions is must be going straight back into the network. He is spending a fortune every day just keeping 2 sound stages and the necessary crew in production. He keeps adding sponsors and I see no conspiracy with Cheaper Than Dirt, for example and I am surprised is any Freeper does. Know any other network that can air gun and ammo ads?
IF he is actually making any profit, well, isn’t that what capitalism is all about? After all, he is the one taking the risk. I know times are hard and I can be guilty of envy, as well as anyone, but I really try to not give into it. I think Glenn Beck deserves whatever he is able to keep from his own labor and creativity. It is even more amazing just because he is such a controversial character.
I personally think the guy deserves more respect. Just sayin’.
I put Glenn on my ignore list several months ago.
I went from finding him refreshing and interesting in the beginning to now I just find him self-absorbed and generally annoying.
ask Debra Medina (back during the Tx. Governor primaries)
