Hewitt slams House Freedom Caucus

The Hill ^ | 10/11/15 | Kevin Cirilli

“Conservative radio host Hugh Hewitt” - Well there is your problem, Huge Hewitt is anything BUT conservative, he is a milquetoast RINO.

[JediJones]

He was selected to be the “conservative” moderator at the CNN debate. That tells you all you need to know about where he falls on the ideological spectrum. Hip-to-hip with George Will.

[stephenjohnbanker]

The Democrats love Hewitt.

End of story.

[headstamp 2]

Hewitt sounds like a typical liberal statist.

“get with the program” my ass.

I guess “the science is settled”. Right, Hugh?

[ziravan]

If Ryan has 225 votes, then it’s a done deal.

So. What’s the problem?

Exactly.

[Parley Baer]

I like how these type of people “out” themselves.

[proust]

Freepers said he is “tough but fair.” eye roll.

"There's like 15 of you people," Hewitt said of the caucus

Well then why are you so threatened by them Hugh?

PS. How's Mitt Romney doing?

[Buckeye McFrog]

"The Freedom Caucus is like 15 people. Paul Ryan is liked by 225 Republicans.

If that were true then he'd win the vote 225-15. What's the problem?

“The Unembarrassed Deceiver”

[ripley]

Hewitt now sounds like an operative for the Democrat Party.

IMHO

[ifinnegan]

Good rule of thumb. If Hewitt backs someone, someone else is better.

I think the revolt is winning friends by arguing that the *power* of the office needs to be reduced and democratized.

This is what happened the last time Republicans revolted against the Republican Speaker of the House, Joseph Gurney Cannon.

Then, it was progressive Republicans in revolt against a steadfast conservative, so the roles were reversed.

Hey ES he still on the air?

I am sorry I been listen to more to KFI than KABC lately

[EveningStar]

Freepers said he is “tough but fair.” eye roll.

I stand by that. He's a politico (I have my own reservations with him), but he is not a "RINO" (what an overused term). He is definitely right of center. And, unlike a lot of you here, I know what I'm talking about.

[proust]

So have you gotten with the program?

[Jeff Chandler]

He's a politico (I have my own reservations with him), but he is not a "RINO" (what an overused term). He is definitely right of center. And, unlike a lot of you here, I know what I'm talking about.

I agree. Every now and then he veers off into Republican shill territory, but he is generally conservative, and his radio program is required listening in order to be politically informed. If you listen to both him and Mark Levin, you get a good balance.
