I’m very big on what Beck is doing, but I sincerely believe he has dropped the ball with Newt.

Glenn seems to be under the mistaken impression that if someone declares themselves a “Jacksonian,” it means they approve of Andrew Jackson’s presidency. When someone like Newt says they’re a Jacksonian, it means they generally avoid involvement, but if attacked will prosecute that attack with extreme prejudice.

Similarly, I believe Glenn has spent so much effort hating on Woodrow Wilson, that when Newt says he’s a Wilsonian, Glenn went ballistic before he ever clarified what Newt means by that.

I agree; Beck has been ranting about Newt being a "progressive"; but I think a lot of conservatives have made mistakes in hindsight that they regret. Look at Jim DeMint, who endorsed Romney in 2008.

I regret supporting John McCain in 2008, who is one of the worst GOP presidential candidates of my 57 year lifetime. While you have to honor the man for his POW experience, he has burned up all his token good-will on reaching across the aisle one too many times. I dislike Romney about as much as McCain, both of which are fast-talking two-faced liars that leave conservatism behind once they are elected to the office the envy!
