I thought the analogy of the after Obama hangover was fairly apt.

Glenn is 100% CORRECT! If the pubbies don’t get a handle on themselves then they WILL be a party destined for the dustbin of history.

Even John McCain has said again and again that “the Republican party lost its way.” I think McCain meant it by Republicans not jumping across the aisle to support Democrats

Talk is cheap, Bill.

I Like Beck but he can be a bit of a drama queen.

Beck is doing the job the Republican Congress critter RINOS won’t do.

This from “inside the beltway” Bill who gave us our candidate McCain last time.

An incredible speech from my perspective....I believe the Republican Party has to own up to it’s own failings. Bush spent like a drunken sailor, he advocated for ‘open’ borders, he was not focused with Iraq and Afghan...We have many Rino’s in the party that need to be purged...Let Beck speak.

Maybe Dr Coburn needs a chalkboard like Beck. Oh to be as brilliant as Glenn Beck.

Does Glenn truly believe there is no difference between a Tom Coburn, for example, and a Harry Reid or a Charles Schumer or a Barbara Boxer? Between a Paul Ryan or Michele Bachmann and a Nancy Pelosi or Barney Frank?

Ouch. I lost all respect for Beck when he started this "they are all the same" stuff. If one can't discern differences then they are not qualified to deal with politics.

So a few people in the party stuck to principles? A few didn't participate in the destruction of America and for that Beck is wrong? A few more have started singing a new more responsible tune after going in lock step with Bush's leftist policies and military adventures?

Pfffft.

Want to bet that you can't rebut that Bill.

Well Mr Bennett there is a difference between the two parties one always practices what they preach. The other party preaches but does not always practice what they preach. You always know where a true believer stands but when one says one thing and does another it causes confusion Mr. Bennett. The party that says one thing and does another ought to repent and move forward from there and we might trust them.

Let's put it this way Bill: Beck is more right than wrong. The perceived ascendancy of republicans is only because they aren't quite as bad as democrats...

Maybe you forgot Bill just why and how the democrats and Obama got where they are.

Keep quoting McCain to define what republicans are Bill...Were you saying something about "dangerous"?

Bill is lumping Conservatives in with ALL folks who have an R next to their name, even going so far as to quote, of all people McCain???! He is still roaming in the wilderness on this.

Yes Bill there are differences between the Republicans and Democrats. However, under GW the government did expand and tried their best to out spend the Democrats. The Tea Party is an honest conservative core value movement. The Republican Party better listen and incorporate this philosophy or they will continue to lose popularity.

It’s not the drama queen part that bothers me about Beck. It’s how quick he is to dismiss the birth certificate issue, without so much as a “let’s look into this.” And the toadying up to Bill O’Reilly doesn’t help.

I’m an ex-drunk. Bennett is full of it.

Why do people bash Beck? Does he HAVE to be perfect? Are you, Mr. Bennett?
And have you noticed that most conservatives, self-styled conservatives, and right-leaning Republicans who bash Beck, will assume the most ridiculous postures to do it, and strain at gnats. You don’t like his metaphors? Wow, that’s really worth putting into print. Makes you sound so nuanced, you could almost pass for a lib.
Petty, Mr. Bennett. You might have been going for discriminating, nuanced, and superior, but you landed petty and snobbish.
