I have to side with Levin. He’s brilliant and a real Constitutionalist.
He believes in retaking the Republican party for the Conservatives, not abandoning it so that we split the anti-Democrat vote which always spells disaster.
McCain would have been a disappointment on many issues, as he truly is a RINO, but I believe he would have been far better on taxes and spending and he definitely is not a communist like Zero!
“after you, beck”
While I consider McStain to be a dottering old fool and RINO,
he is not quite an Obozo Communist, and Soros puppet.
Beck does not help by eating our own.
Beck is 100% correct on this one, Levin is a dinosaur. Out to pasture Levin!
If McCain would have been elected, all this fine energy and action we see now would be nonexistent-—and the mass corruption at the federal level would still be firmly under the rug.
I believe this comes from a fundamental misunderstanding of historic workings of the American political system which thrives with a two-party arrangement and flounders when third-party groups like Ross Perot or the Libertarians emerge. With the great historical exception of the demise of the Whigs over slavery, the third party movement invariably commits the party it wants to reform to electoral oblivion and assures the dominance of the party most distant from it. In this process the splinter movement either declines into oblivion or is absorbed in one of the two dominant parties.
I suspect Glenn Beck wants to see the destruction of both political parties and the emergence of his worldview as the dominant philosophy. Whether or not that is Glenn Beck's intention, the effect of his chronic "plague on both your houses" approach will be the same if he gets his way.
Glenn Beck is essentially saying that there is no difference between Obama, Hillary or McCain because there is no difference to him between Republicans and Democrats.
I concede that this is a huge leap from a fragment of the video which is available to us. It will be interesting to see the rest to judge his justification for this preposterous notion that McCain would be worse than Obama. I have posted repeatedly that I admire Glenn Beck's talent and have high hopes for the great service he can do American and even the Republican Party and the conservative movement. He is absolutely the Jeremiah against the very real threat to our Republic and our democracy posed by Barack Obama. There is no other voice right now equal to his. There is a great danger in the man though. One is his psychological stability and the other is his loose cannon, maverick proclivities which may or may not be symptomatic of a kind of megalomania.
“The GOP would have at least acted ‘conservative’ if Kerry would have won.”
yeah that’s what we should do. We should vote for democrats like kerry and Obama so that the GOP would be more pure. Of course, they would be in the minority and won’t really DO anything while the left takes over the country...
He’s only saying what Rush himself has pondered on his show. Look at how deep the corruption is. That gets to amplify and multiply under McCain. With Obama it’s being flushed out. Obama is showing the country how craptastic liberals are. McCain would have bee Johnny Go-along. I can see Beck’s point.
‘been’
um, you need to be schooled
Love ‘em, both. Like I’ve said, before, they ALL need to pull together. However.....is Beck coming from his ‘Libertarian’ angle when making that comment?
Levin has his own best-seller and successful radio program. He’s carved out his own niche and doesn’t indulge in jealousy. I am certain he could care less of Beck’s success. He’s in it for the long haul, always has been.
If it came down to choosing between Rush and Levin vs. Beck, I would pick El Rushbo and the Great One every single time.
Beck is awesome in his own right and has been an excellent warrior against this administration. Libertarians need Mainstream Conservatives right now and Vice-Versa, but Libertarians need us more than we need them.
I like Beck. However, he always has to “spread the stealth” when it comes to criticizing the Democrats, he continually prefaces criticism against the Democrats with, “the Republicans do it too” mentality. It gets old and frankly, the Democrats far exceed the Republicans in corruption. I wish he would stop it.
The Supreme Court and National Security. End of discussion.
Beck is a fool.
beats me
Levin is totally correct on Beck’s populist rants. When he goes down the path of ‘both parties do it’ pap. ‘McCain would be worse than Obama’. It’s BULLSH!T and Beck knows it.
Mark knows it’s not doing anything to help the GOP. Elections are just around the corner. Who are people to vote for when they become disgusted with both parties? Hint-—The Dems win again.
Btw—I LOVE BECK...Except for his LSD trips down this O’reilly populism CRAP.
Golly, maybe we should elect more Republicans then.
-Prescription Drugs
-No Child left behind
-Bailouts
-Tarp
-Amensty
-Hundreds of Millions to the Palestinian National Authority
-Tens of Billions for Aids in Africa
Why do we need worry about Dem’s when we have Republicans leading the Fabian agenda.
I believe Mark resents beck for not attributing. I could do what Beck does, but I’d damn sure say who came up with the ideas.
I’ll believe it if and only when I hear it with my own ears. Methinks the lesser punks are just jealous of Beck’s newfound fame.
