This bombshell from Glenn Beck is about three minutes into the segment on Thursday. Beck said leaving the governor’s mansion in Alaska was a smart move.
Beck: “Smart move. And I think she’s also positioning herself for a third party. By the time this election runs around for the president, I’m sorry, but unless the Republicans and the Democrats wake up, a third party will win.”
We shall see how that works out. Many people are angry at Republicans right now. The message sent to Dede Scozzafava is being noticed in Washington. Believe me. But 3 years is a long time in politics. We shall see.
It is time to begin thinking more about the person being considered for public office than for the party.
Also of note:
Why are leftist women jealous of Palin
Enjoy sleeping with the RINOs.
And cleaning up their messes.
GOP-firsters are part of the problem and not part of the solution.
1854 was the year the party started, see post 44.
Not pushing anything, just being realistic. The GOP is becoming just like the Dems. Trying to be everybody’s friend and afraid of making choices that they will be judged by.
He has a Naral rating of 0%.
He's from a very conservative Republican state and is constantly begged to switch parties at his townhalls.
Stay stupid if you want.
Still maintain; as much as I dislike McCain; he at least held our Military in the 'right place' and he would not be 'changing' entire Country to reflect our enemies face. We could have survived till next Election. Not so sure we can with current power structure and it's endeavors.
(This is not unlike how Churches unfold into new names; and pretty soon; a different one on every corner. That IS fine, of course; but fracturing political Parties do not serve a majority.
The 1850s Whig Party flew apart because of its own internal contradictions. The modern Republican Party is currently under similar stress with its own internal contradictions, albeit with entirely different issues, but with potentially the same results if it does not get its act together fast.
I'm just saying...

At the time, I along with most of my friends were solid Democrats or political nonparticipants until Perot. But reform was and still is appealing.
The Republicans bashed him all over the place only to co-opt all his ideas 2 years later to take congress with their rip off ‘Contract with America’. The Republicans couldn't beat him but they still had to join him.
Perot is back. This time in a skirt. Palin gets my support not because she sounds like Reagan, but rather because she sounds like Perot. She brings in reform minded voters along with conservatives. That is the winning combination.
Right, it split over whether it was pro or anti slavery, it was a short lived 22 year party that existed in a different world and a different electorate, the Republicans have been around for a 155 years and operates in a nation where 54% of the electorate are females.
We do know that Perot was pro-abortion, with his wife working for Planned Parenthood, his wife and daughter were recently given awards from PP for their dedicated proabortion efforts over the years.
The anti gun rights Ross Perot also wanted to go door to door in Dallas to confiscate citizens guns.
Thinking there is a third party happening is like
waiting for the Easter bunny.
The only reason Hoffman is in the majority is: He is a life long Republican, the NY Conservative Party are Republicans, the 23rd Dist. has 44,000 more Republicans than Democrats.
I love Beck, but I think he isn’t understanding Palin, he needs to go back and look at her reputation, she took on a sitting GOP governor and beat him and the democrat, she didn’t run third party as a spoiler, she went head-to-head.. I expect, if she decides to run, she will do the same in 2012.. take on the Romney and Huck toe-to-toe...
Uncivil War: Conservatives to challenge a dozen GOP candidates
If people don’t work within the Republican party to
support Conservative or in some areas at least moderate Conservatives, you will always have Liberal Democrats.
Because Hoffman is a Republican in a Republican Dist.
Things worked for him.
The third parties especially in State and National elections
always give the election win to the Democrats.
Perot gave the election to Clinton.
Teddy Roosevelt as a Bull Moose Party gave the election to Woodrow Wilson.
Having followed elections for at least 50 years, I have seen it all and this is no different than many other elections. In some cases there have been worse decades back.
The major difference, 24/7 TV and the internet which
dramatizes eveything.
I’m sorry, RINO inspired bubble? Where is that coming from? If you bought Perot’s baloney, sorry about that — I had his number long before he claimed Bush was out to sabotage his daughter’s wedding.
Republicans had more reason to jump party-line votes, when provided the opportunity, many took it. But had Perot not played his ego-maniacal move, I still say that people would have bought Clinton’s goods the same as they bought into 0bama last year, he would have won more than 50% of the vote in 1992.
He doesn’t seem to understand how the system works. He says, “I’ll vote for a Democrat if he’s conservative!” I won’t. It’s all about the numbers. If I vote in a conservative Democrat, that strengthens the party’s majority and *hurts* conservative causes. I agree with him that the GOP is in a sorry state, but we don’t get anywhere by saying, “There’s not a dime’s worth of difference!” Let’s highlight the differences and work to get rid of party members who would rather blur the lines. In other words, there are two teams on the field. One is unified in moving the ball towards their goal, while the other has a few players who are trying to throw the game. Since it’s impossible to field a new team between now and 2012, let’s bench the cheaters.
I worked in the Reagan Campaign when he first ran for Gov.
A counter demonstrator against the Code Pinkos and against the Pro Hamas. I will not aid the Democrats in any way.
Beck oversimplifies, one trait of addictive people.
He also takes credit in areas that others have been on long before him.
He lifts comments and information from a book pub. months ago without attribute.
Beck doesn’t feel akin to Republicans, having come from a Democrat family.
Yesterday on his program he droned on again, Republicans and Democrats are the same.
Oh really. 3 of the 5 congressmen here in San Diego are great Conservative Republicans, Marine Col, Rep. Duncan D. Hunter, Bilbray, and Darrell Issa.
BTW you can download Issa’s over 80 page report exposing ACORN
To say they and other good Conservative Republicans are the same as Democrats is a lie and where Beck has lost many people.
Beck says Republicans Not some Republicans are the same as Democrats.
What he is doing is more damaging to good Republicans and
a help to the Democrats.
