“Sorry, but Beck has never been “working for the same goal”. His goal is to take the Tea party movement into the Libertarian party and that will mean a generation lost to the Left. It may even mean America’s permanent destruction.”
Bingo. Some people just can’t figure things out until they are slapped in the face with it. Beck has been doing moral equivalence of the Dems and Pubs on his show from the gitgo. He has not been making differentiations between the two parties, he says they both suck equally. Glenn is enamored of the Libertarians, has many of them as guests on his show, and has heavy duty third party inclinations. Rush and Levin feel Beck is dividing the conservatives and is demoralizing the Pubs by constantly saying they are just like the Dems. He does not separate out RINOs from the conservative Pubs; he just lumps them altogether, and if you watch his program everyday like I do, then you know this. Just when Pubs stand a real chance for a comeback, and even though there will always be RINOs, most Pubs have “gotten the message” about overspending, Beck is saying divisive things about the Pubs on a continuing basis. This could lead to a third party Ross Perot type of situation, guaranteed to get a Dem back in just when the Pubs have their best chance to wrestle the reins of power away from the Dems. Beck deserves the chastisement he is getting from not only Rush and Levin, but also Ann Coulter who has been complaining about this moral equivalence baloney coming out of Beck’s mouth, and from Bill Bennett also, who is complaining about Beck’s tactics. Beck has got to get off of his Libertarian romance, or just state outright that he is one so that we all know where he is coming from.
I don’t understand why conservatives are hitching their stars to either talk show hosts or (especially) Republicans of any stripe. Neither are being honest. It will take severe cuts in both Medicare and Social Security, just to tread water. In order to actually pay down the debt and extract the country from socialism, it is going to take much more drastic cuts.
I’m tired of Republicans stating or implying that serious work can be done by finessing present spending. Once that I see and hear a group of them calling for massive castor oil and tough love to the American people and showing an ounce of honesty about the debt, I might bother to work for them again. Until that day, I’m sitting on the sidelines while the country goes bankrupt. It might actually be better to have that happen sooner under Democrats than a little later under Republicans.
If the Republicans are truly different, then they ought to be proving it, not complaining about someone saying it.
After all, it should be SO VERY EASY to prove, right? Child’s play, even. So what the are they waiting for?
