Beck gave an entertaining speech the other night at CPAC. Some very emotional parts that touched the hearts of many Americans.
If your a regular listener to him on radio you understand how he attacks both parties as the same.
This is why as much as you love him, hang on every word he may be the greatest asset to the Obama's agenda.(Ironic)
If we use a utopian view (unrealistic) of party to fracture ourselves we are doomed.
There is no perfect party the American people have spoke out and over the past year the Republicans are listening and the ones who haven't or have such fractured past in support of big government policies like a McCain they must be defeated.
But on the flip side how come Beck didnt speak in support of the ones who have always been resolute and are the future leaders of the conservative movement?(Rubio, Demint, Bachmann,Pence)
I am sorry Glenn while I am a free market capitalist and think every American should have the right to make as much as someone is willing to pay you seem to be supporting a strategy that will lead to a loss of freedom and opportunity for me and my family which I cannot afford.
I dont have millions saved up to weather a storm that will come about if Obama's policies survive based on splitting the Republican vote.
I will follow the principles of our founding and free market principles to the end what I will not do is follow a talk show host off the cliff whatever his motives; good or bad.
If you are for a third party just come out and say it instead of trying to steer your audience.
Isn't that your motto" speak without fear speak the truth". Are you a third party supporter or not?
I am sorry folks I know many of you on this site are very sensitive to any criticism of Beck but its not about him its about the future existence of our way of life and the strategy for defeating Obama's policies.
When you begin worshipping the messenger and not the message we become vulnerable for a fall and in this case that involve losing our way of life.
Beck chose to use his hour speech to attack Republicans collectively many are the same ones who are listening to the American people.
If we dont win this battle in November and refuse to unify all republicans based on conservative values we will never again have the opportunity for the long fight of reversing this progressive assault on our Constitution he emphasizes on a daily basis.
This country is not about one man or personality as is currently the case of the left it is based on the principles of our founding period.
We cant afford to split apart in order to massage someone's ego we need to unite to fight the enemies of liberty; the current power base of the democrat party this November.
We cant afford to lose this political battle keep your eye on your principles and goals ; less on the messanger especially ones who are drawn to the letter "I".
Who but him is actually nailing the Communists on the right points. All I hear is psychobabble from Republicans and hidden meanings. He just comes out and says it. I am tired of the lilly livered babble.
He responded to these allegations today and said he is not advocating a third party. Before I get flamed, I’m not saying he hasn’t said something before advocating a third party. I only listen occasionally.
This is why as much as you love him, hang on every word he may be the greatest asset to the Obama's agenda.(Ironic)
I don't trust Beck anymore and this is the prime reason. He's just plain lying when he says there's no difference between the dems and the GOP. It's demonstrably false and this year should provide the proof to anyone who's fair minded enough to look at the whole picture. Sure the GOP screwed up in 2006 and deserved to get knocked down an peg but this is 2010 and it's a whole different world.
It's like the electorate is rushing to the GOP and beck is trying to throw them off course. He doesn't like Republicans...just look at the churlish and childish attitutde he displayed when Scott Brown won. You couldn't have been blamed if you thought he was rooting for the democrats. Who knows...maybe he secretly was/is?
Beck is now, and always has been, over rated. He’s a spotlight lover - so long as it’s always shining on him.
Is today ‘Bash Glenn’ day? Sorry, I didn’t get the memo :).
The Republican Party needs to be taken out back and get their butts beat...but good!
Where exactly have the GOP capitulated to obama in any vote since his inauguration?
Beck has many fans here, most of whom are also fair-minded critics when he is wrong, which he is on several subjects.
I don't recall Beck advocating Third Party, but at the same time he's not for following someone because they have an (R) after their name.
Rubio is way up in the polls against Crist and JD has a chance of defeating McCain.
I
nstead of bitching about it have you done anything to help these campaigns?
If not I dont respect people who complain yet expect everyone else to do the work.
OK. Great. Who's the conservative alternative and what are you doing to support him?
I agree with Beck on many topics and his attacks on Mccain Graham and others but I am concerned by people talking this third party garbage and utopian view of our party which will lead us all into the gutter.
Maybe the gutter is where this country needs to go before people wake up and take it back.
Apparently it’s bash beck “days” it’s been going on since Saturday’s CPAC speech...........
I like Glenn and he has done a great service in exposing the Obama agenda. He gets most of the credit for that.
He does need to be very cautious about equating the actions of the left with all republicans as being no different, because they are for the most part.
The RINOs get the blame on our side for sure, but this notion that every single pubbie needs to be tossed out is a bad idea. Those people that tout how they will walk across the aisle need to be walked right out of office. All of them.
If we have any chance to win in upcoming elections, we need to purge RINOs out in primaries and replace them in 2010. We will still be stuck with garbage like Linseed. But lets neuter him (ugh, awful thought/mind picture) LOL
We also need to unite and pick our battles wisely.
I don’t see good prospects until the GOP changes the primary process. We cannot let the democrats choose our candidate for us. I think the time has come to give some other states who really never get a primary selection a chance to participate.
The people are awake where have you been? Mass Virginia NJ polls dems dropping out?
I'm with you.
When you begin worshipping the messenger and not the message we become vulnerable for a fall and in this case that involve losing our way of life.

As oppossed to worshipping the GOP huh? The GOP is very brave when what they do doesn’t matter much and even now they are entirely too silent. Where were they when it mattered? Too often voting alongside the Democrats, thats where.
Now of course we are to believe they have seen the error of their ways, or at least the poll results of what people think of them.
Talk, and more talk but never any action.
Glen Beck called them out on it in a rather mild way and they don’t like it so, he has been made the target of the DC insiders in order to keep the sheeple in line.
The Democrats winning the presidential election and double filibuster-proof majority saved the Republican party... for now.
