Ouch. I lost all respect for Beck when he started this "they are all the same" stuff. If one can't discern differences then they are not qualified to deal with politics.
Yes, that bothers me too. Some are the same. Some are not. Coburn and Inhofe are not at all like Reid and Pelosi—just for instance. No, Beck is losing his way. And I’m not longer that much of a fan.
There is no difference between those you mentioned they are all true believers in their respective causes. Would that we had more true believers in conservative principles.
I interpreted his remarks as claiming the *results* are the same.
IIRC he did not identify or malign any conservative GOP politicians.
We are in this crisis because the Democrats caused it and the GOP did not prevent it. Same result.
Me too. The moral equivalency, "everybody does it" stuff is mindrot. The left pushes it constantly. Simply because X is not good does not mean it is the same as X+++.
But Beck makes it perfectly clear there are bright spots in the party just as Bennett did. The focus of Beck’s scorn is the LEADERSHIP of the party, not individual members. Unless the locomotive knows where it is going, there is no way in hell the caboose is going to lead the train. Not to say those bright spots mentioned are the caboose, but they are merely just rail cars that are pulled by the locomotive.
As amember of the Tea Party Patriots, we do not describe ourselves as part of any party, as Bennett infers, and that has a very specific reason. As much as Bill likes McCain personally, John is wrong on policy. We need only to recall the recent SCOTUS ruling on the McCain-Feingold law as evidence that McCain is one of the reasons the Tea Partiers are just as mad at the Republican leadership as they are at the rest of the DC establishment. Combine it with his public distain for conservatives on policy matters and the picture is clear.
