Glenn Beck is pandering. Honestly, quite a few of us knew Obama was going to be bad, even this bad, but most of the country had no idea. He was supposed to be the best thing since the teleprompter was invented... The Anti-Bush, the Hopenchange Messiah.

What would McCain have done? Who knows? Obama surprised a lot of people with his instant failure, perhaps McCain would have shocked us too?

I don’t know. Beck is out there exposing Obama tooth and nail and he’s just throwing a bone to his detractors. He’s lost quite a few advertisers because of the boycott, and may be getting some internal pressure from FoxNews execs.

It all seems a little too convenient for Beck. I have noticed that he and O’Reilly seem to play some kind of Ying and Yang game on the network for some reason, but Bill doesn’t do anything that doesn’t give Bill some benefit at least if to feed his own ego.

It’s hard to say whether or not McCain would have been worse. 1 thing is for sure, McCain would pander to the media who would have surely been livid that ‘Racist’ America turned against the Black Messiah and voted for ‘Bush II’, I’m not so sure it would have been what we wanted. That’s why McCain was such a terrible candidate.

Of course.

The same for Bush and Kerry.

The GOP would have at least acted ‘conservative’ if Kerry would have won.

I have to agree with you.

Rush is not a regular on my list, but Mark most certainly is.

I love Mark Levin!!!

He believes that with McCain the move left would have been more gradual and that there wouldn’t have been the pushback that Obama is getting.

Exactly what many of us said and its true.

Yes. I believe that even Rush said something like this way back. That it might be better if we lost and woke some people up to RINO’s and the real left agenda.

Chill it, Mark. This kind of behavior really makes me mad. It looks cheap and snarky. And it looks like Beck’s success is getting to you. I thought you were better than that.

When will Rush and or Levin understand both parties move us to the left.

The GOP does it slowly and the Dems do it faster.

Thank you George W. Bush for Medicare Part D.

I personally don’t like what Beck said, and Mark gets a little sensitive over Glenn equally blaming Republicans and dems. Remember, Beck is a Libertarian, so, of course, he’s going after both parties.

But, this won’t stop me from listening to either one of them. We need more than one source of information, and Levin is brilliant with Constitutional Law. Beck is brilliant when he goes after corruption. No problem here for me.

Note that Mrs Palin is above the fray. We don't, and won't, see any devisive actions, or words, as they pertain to the GOP, coming from her.
She truly is head and shoulders above all in the Party and on the Right.

First time I’ve ever even considered saying this:

Probably will never say it again, but right now:

Shut up, Levin.

Would you be telling Mr. Beck to clap his trap shut now?

This is definitely a situation where Levin is better off keeping his mouth shut. Attacking Beck at this point is a bad move all around. Sounds like jealousy.

I’m with the Great One on this one. Mark has been one of McCain’s biggest critics. But for all of McCain’s faults, he is not a marxist.

McCain would have been better for the country in the short term, worse for the republicans. Whether the pain of Obama will end up making our country better in the long run than we would have been with McCain remains to be seen.

In any case, it’s hardly useful if all the conservative commentators agree with each other all the time.

Beck is drunk with himself. He needs to go back to Moron Trivia, which is what he did best.

I'm with you on questioning why Hillary, “the smartest woman in the world” fell for the ploy of her appointment and abandoned her seat in the Senate. I always thought she had some escape hatch somewhere that she could take if she wanted to get out of the situation. She appears though that she isn't happy with her position nor does she seem to know what and how to regain her status and respect from the public......and Beck should not have said he would have voted for Hillary over McCain.

Both Hillary and McCain are terrible, but at least Palin was on McCain's ticket and McCain we would not have to contend with such a total Communist/Socialist Dictator. Also, McCain would have backed our men and women in uniform, BIG TIME!
