Most conservatives are Republicans, at least I always thought that was the case. And then Beck sanctimoniously calls us progressives, that the country is over and it’s all our fault. He infers there is no difference between Democrats and Republicans, reminding me of all the idiots on here that say the same thing.
He does that just when we have some serious momentum building towards the elections this fall. I am so damn sick of people tossing the RINO tag at anyone who disagrees with them. Beck was the last straw. With his speech, he could have built up the movement to win back the congresses this fall but instead he plays to all the kooks who can’t lose fast enough just to prove that the Republicans suck.
I am just as patriotic and love my country as much as you do but I will not sit there and be insulted by that asshole Beck. The old Republican party let us down but that is the past. Beck seems to be in the past as well. He needs to learn to recognize the real enemy of America. It isn’t us.
Have you ever seen him go after McLame? I haven’t. I have only heard him say what he said at CPAC. The Repulicans are just as bad as the Democrats. In truth, the conservative Republicans are not as bad as the Democrats. The Rinos are but he smears the whole party - like he is a libertarian.
If you don't see this as a serious issue for Conservatives to consider during a CONSERVATIVE meeting... Then maybe you just need to head back to the Country Club with the rest of the Beltway insiders.

Didn't exactly work as planned... *snicker*
ARE you a “Progressive”? IF not, then Glenn wasn’t talking about you and you can go back to watching WWF.
Ten minutes....that long?
I tried to listen to him and then tried to watch him.....drama queen, pretty much sums it up....
I still prefer Rush
Here are the statistics on the Presidents and their growth of government adjusted for inflation. Glenn Beck was correct. The Republicans ARE addicted to spending.
Johnson: 4.1 percent
Nixon/Ford: 5 percent
Carter: 1.6 percent
Reagan: 1.4 percent
Bush I: 3.8 percent
Clinton: 2.1 percent
Bush II: 4.8 percent

I added the numbers (of the growth of government adjusted for inflation by President) and then averaged them. This is what I got:
Democrats:
4.1 Johnson
1.6 Carter
2.1 Clinton
7.8 Total
2.6 Average Democrats
Republicans:
5.0 Nixon/Ford
1.4 Reagan
3.8 Bush
4.8 Bush
15.0 Total
3.75 Average Republicans
The Republican Administrations HAVE been spending addicts!
Hey Alan? Think Michelle Malkin is bad for us too?

Buy a clue. They are cheap.
Boortz was fine, but same there. Kept hearing the same thing over and over.
Beck is trying to shake things up and I think he's doing a damn fine job.
I think that sums it up nicely, Eagles6.
Yep, agreed. A great speech for 2006.
It’s like trying to convice a liberal that government run healthcare is no good. They just have an inability to understand it.
Now that’s funny. I posted the same picture from a different source on another Beck bashing thread. You were first, so I guess you get the patent.
Sorry if I have given you the impression that Bush’s spending and expansion of government pleased me. It did not.
“Exactly right. His speech at cpac pissed me off to no end.”
Good. I hope it pissed off a LOT of folks. We needed a wake up call....even NOW we’re STILL electing PROGRESSIVE Republicans, i.e., Scott Brown.... and it MUST change. We can’t keep going to the HARDWARE STORE and expecting to find BREAD.
Thank you.
Gladly. I’m sick of these punch drunk “Beckers.”
I think Beck informs lots of folks with info they don’t get anywhere else.
I do get irritated by his melodrama and self promotion. He, like “commander zero” is not a savior.
He is making a lot of money but good for him, it still is America, for now
We are in the process of doing just that. We didn’t need Beck preaching to us. We know what to do, does he?
Thank you so much for being a wonderfully uplifting and positive person.
