Glenn Beck Not Convinced Sarah Palin Should Be President, But She’d Be ‘A Great Neighbor’
Mediaite.com ^ | 04/11/2011 | Matt Schneider

Posted on 04/11/2011 2:47:18 PM PDT by OldDeckHand

Glenn Beck today on his radio show revealed his wish list for who should be America’s next President. Beck’s dream ticket consists of Republican Congressman Allen West as President, Congresswoman Michele Bachmann for Vice-President and Congressman Ron Paul as Treasury Secretary. Most surprising was who Beck left off his list: Sarah Palin.

Beck was eager to praise West for his strong military background and willingness to take responsibility and said “I love Michele Bachmann,” since she refuses to compromise on her values. However, it seems Palin no longer makes the cut, which is certainly a dramatic turn of events from when Palin was the featured speaker just last summer at Beck’s “Restoring Honor” rally. Beck still likes Palin, saying “I’d love to be a neighbor with Sarah Palin, she’d make a great neighbor,” but he thinks Palin missed a huge opportunity:

“She should have come out with that first book and it should have been deep policy, it should have shown that yes she knows where Russia is . . . she didn’t help herself . . . to say really you think I’m a dummy, boom here it is.”

“Glenn Bck is in the toilet for his fellow Moron, I mean mormon Myth Romney.”

I heard that Harry Reid got most of the Mormon vote in Nevada. Although most Mormons are conservative Republicans, LDS trumps political idealology.

But has Allen West prove his policy expertise? Has he said or done anything that somehow put him above Palin? Its so sad, the double standard. Anyone else can give an opinion on x policy and get hailed by ppl as policy experts, yet when Palin does the same thing and futher, she hasn’t done enough

Actually He said today that his dream team would be West and Bachmann but nice job of behaving exactly like the left.

I’m not going to say I wouldn’t vote for that ticket if that’s how it turns out. I would. I’m saying the gov is still my first choice. I’m saying Allen and Michele, go forth, kick ass and impress me. And I’m saying, Glenn, I think you’d be a great neighbor, but I’m not convinced you should be picking the tickets all by yourself.

West isn’t going to be a candidate and Bachmann is a long-shot. The only threats to Mitt’s waltzing off with it at this point are Palin and possibly Huck or TPaw.

If Beck’s not backing a threat, he’s helping Mitt. But no, I don’t know that that’s his intention.

OldDorkHead luuuuvs this stuff. He's the one that thinks Krauthammer is so smart. You know, the genius that thinks we need someone boring and dull like Pawlenty in order to beat Bambi, because, well....Pawlenty's boring and dull. The more boring the better.

He now thinks Beck is smart too and will wallow in his good fortune for the day........

When you don’t strike when the iron is hot, you can lose many opportunities.

I think she’d make a great congressman or senator. She’d be a great pitbull in this area.

Not convinced the self-centered Beck is intelligent.

In his first term?

It's been 3 months.

I love West, he's going to be great if he continues with a good record and moves up from being a congresscritter.

Anyone who picks congresscritters to win either of the two party's nominations is not capable of seeing reality.

For him to say that she might not run for President, fine, some think she will some think she won’t..but to come out with the BS that her books did not have anything about policy in there is absolutely ridiculous. Glenn needs to actually READ her books before he opens up his trap. I like Glenn, a lot, but he is SO off on this. I have both of her books and they were full of policy issues

Yes, of course you’re right about the PDS poster, but I think this was a GRATE, FANTASTIC ANNOUNCEMENT by Glenn Beck because too many idiots AND voters think he’s a conspiracy nut so now the *nut* isn’t touting SARAH PALIN!

Everyone else who likes him, [like me] doesn’t let Glenn’s *dream team* influence MY choice for president, SARAH PALIN!
