Could Glen Beck Be The Key To Pairing Losses For The Left? (Third Party Disaster)

Excellent blog Baby & Three!

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)

Personally I do not know what GB is saying anymore...disheartened where I watch his show less, visit the thread less. When any group gets to the mania point, I question that & as 3 said the fans don't like one word of criticism towards GB, they concur he shouldn't say certain things, but I am a free thinker & never fall in line if someone or something rubs me the wrong way. I felt this way about Rush, Hannity, etc. Many things. I was flamed due to the fact I was passionate about the perils of illegal immigration, took an FR hiatus after that. In fighting don't sit well with me, when I have to defend & fight what is suppose to be an open community of conservatives.

I like Glenn and he has done a great service in exposing the Obama agenda. He gets most of the credit for that.

Beck got lucky there IMO. Andrew Breitbart and the young investigative reporters who went after ACORN did alot for Beck by giving him the exclusive TV rights to their work. Before Obama and acorn and van Jones Beck was on the radio every day talking about "the Perfect Storm" that was coming from Iran and how they were going to destroy us any day now. He went with that spiel for over a year! Beck's an emotional cripple and a drama queen. He can be entertaining but he's not any conservative's saviour.

I just do whatever Beck tells me to do because I’m too lazy to think for myself.

Besides, that blackboard is sooo hypnotic — I can’t resist.

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

Same here, and uh..same here ;-)

There is no perfect party

Or perfect candidate. Politics is dirty. It always has been, and always will be.

There's a lot of frustration, fear and anger building up. Beck is capitalizing on it and it's uncertain what his goal is.

The Democrats will work behind the scenes to divide the vote on the right, pushing third party candidates and trying to widen chasms among conservatives and independents. No one should underestimate the lengths to which they'll go to achieve that end.

If the anger and fear aren't channeled constructively to stop the bleeding by taking control of the house and gaining seats in the Senate within the structure of the two-party system, the future will be twice as bleak.

We may never have another opportunity, if we fail and the party of mass destruction continues to have its way.

Good post.

Who is worshiping the GOP?

I like many other patriotic Americans are working on campaigns to get the right people in office. I will be working to help Rubio win in Florida.
What are you doing to change the party?

[oldteen]

I just think it is sad that folks are trying to make such divisions with all of this :(

[JustPiper]

SB is a moderate conservative, Glenn more Libertarian, is that not similiar?

[JustPiper]

You see this?

ACORN ‘dissolved as a national structure’

[Sharrukin]

And how is attacking Glen Beck helping in that?

He is making a lot of people who wouldn’t otherwise get it, see that spending is the problem. The GOP has its share of blame in creating the situation and covering that up only makes people see conservatives as dishonest.

If the GOP doesn’t stick to conservative principles then they should be called on it!

I am trying to split the vote by saying a third party is bad for victory in November which would SPLIT THE VOTE?

That makes as much sense as one of Obama’s speeches.

And for so many reasons we are brain same & best buds lol

[JustPiper]

Rubio will go far in DC!

[Cheap_Hessian]

It would be nice if all of these so called Conservatives would vote for Conservatives in the primaries. I am getting tired of being forced to hold my nose when I vote in the general elections. A third party would not gain traction if the Republican voters would get their act together.

I watch his show less

And I've gone from not missing it, to not watching at all. I wonder how his ratings are doing.

He is not helping when the American people are fighting back with big victories in NJ MASS VA with Rubio leading in the polls and republican party shifting right then turning around after millions of people have been engaged and working their tales off for this move to say both parties are the same?
As if nothing is going on or its not good enough?
I say to those who blindly follow any talk show host follow your principles and goals we need to hit base-hits before home runs this will take generations to reverse but if we never get the chance all will be lost.

[JustPiper]

Folks don't have to make divisions my friend

Some folks don't get that OT, if your opinion does not fall in line. they attack you. Don't know why they do but they do.
Guess there is a fine line between difference of opinion & follow me or you are wrong

Great point!!
I think our focus should be on Michael Steele to change the election rules where necessary so that the ACORNS of the world or whatever they call them cant select our candidates and take the air out of our sails.
