At last someone who is listening! There seems to be a lot of Beck bashing here lately. A little too much if you know what I mean. Beck has hit a nerve and the ‘bots are out to destroy his message just like they have other voices speaking the truth. The Progressives aren’t going down easy. We must keep up the good work to end their disastrous movement once and for all. While I have tended to like Newt, he is in fact a big government Progressive.
If we think we ‘win’ by putting another Progressive in there then we are fools that deserve what we get. If, on the other hand, we believe in our conservative principles we will not put our hopes on a Progressive. Remember: no one has cast a vote yet. We are basically relying on polls from the same people who told us Obama’s poop didn’t stink. I don’t buy it for a minute. Beck is right.
I will vote for Bachmann or Santorum in the primary.
Beck, like Michael Savage, may sound crazy and oft times self-serving, but from a perspective of an ordinary citizen, I find much of what he says, as with Michael Savage, to ring true.
Personally, I don’t really care to listen to either one’s radio show because most of their message gets lost in their loud sermonizing. I’d rather listen to the sarcastic wit of Rush or read opinions of wisdom from Sowell.
... if all the conservatives would choose to unite their votes behind her...Then she would beat Romney and Newt.
Blueberrry Tea and concerts in Israel. Why can’t these people just accept who they are and enoy it, rather than try to make themselves into something other than what they are successful at?
Did you see what they did on the Ann Coulter thread?! Very ugly.
“...the only thing Obama knows how to do is campaign and debate...he will CRUSH Newt in any debate.”
I doubt it. Obama knows how to campaign - no argument there - but debate? I’m thinking not so much. The MSM promotes him as a great speaker but he is not. He can read words from a telepromter but where’s the evidence he can think on his feet? OTOH, Newt is sharp and knowledgable. I’m just saying...
Writer of this article and a lot of posters on this and other threads clearly do NOT actually listen to Beck’s show:
Beck clearly has given his support openly and often to BACHMAN AND SANTORUM!
Beck has said that he does acknowledge that Gingrich supports Israel but he doesn’t like his “Progessive” ideas and Gingrich has praised Andy Stern of SEIU...etc.
All these Beck bashers should actually listen to his show before jumping to conclusions based on misleading headlines.
I see a lot of talk here about how Beck is a Bachmann supporter, yet only a couple of very foggy statements can actually be cited.
Instead, he spends all of his time bashing other candidates. He is being destructive to the process rather than contributing information on why his chosen candidate is better.
I believe it is a out Beck believing that he is now so big and powerful, that he can literally destroy someone.
I don’t believe Beck is the humble guy he plays on TV.
That’s genius ..genious. ROTFL. You’ll are still a bunch of lying turds.
Beck does not support Romney - he favors Bachmann or Santorum.
He is for Bachmann. Has said so on more that one ocassion. Newt is a big government progressive with an “R” and a pantload full of insider bull.
He does not support Mitt. Wow you must really hate Mormans to stoop to your comment.
More than one occasion?
Wow, he must be a BIG supporter!
Then, how about telling us why Bachmann would make a better candidate? She only tells us how many kids she has raised, and oh yeah, she is a former tax attorney.
Obama would eat her lunch.
The keyword there being “if” voters united behind Michele Bachmann.
They haven’t. If and until that happens, a vote for Michele Bachmann, Rick Perry, or anyone else is a vote for Mitt Romney. By attacking Newt before we have a more suitable replacement lined up, we’re going to split the vote enough to give ourselves the only candidate who’s worse than he is.
There are no smears or lies involved in saying that Glenn Beck and Michael Savage have been destructive to the conservative movement because they fail to grasp this simple concept.
Willard Romney the open socialist MUST be defeated, just as Barack Obama the open socialist MUST be defeated. If we can’t unite to defeat socialism in the primaries, how on earth will we do it in the general election?
Show me the polls that speak to another candidate’s rise and I’ll happily throw Newt to the dogs. Until then, he’s our best bet.
Do you actually think Newt is the candidate to defeat socialism? Get real.
Newt is the McCain of 2012, a pasty to give us 4 more years of Obama.
Obama’s media will have fun destroying Newt with his baggage if he is the Going On Progressive party nominee.
If Beck truly supported Israel there would be NO circumstances under which he would vote for Paul. I think Beck’s a fraud.
Beck has exposed himself as a groveling fraud
for Islam, Soros, and Romney.
He has played his audience well, until this error of his.
Who cares whether they are invented or not? Newt remains a Global Warmist RINO with whom the Karl Rove Republicans as well as the Dims are comfortable. It is because of this comfort that he is not attacked like Herman Cain was attacked.
