Edmund, you paint your generalities with too wide of a brush.

He only relates what Beck says. Beck is the one with broad brush strokes.

Specifically, Beck blames Progressives within the demonrat and republican parties for America's woes.

He does but he refused to credit those who are not on that side with most anything. He lumps all Republicans in with the RINOS. He was doing it tonight too. Said well maybe the GOP is seeing the light, maybe it is going in the right direction, but maybe not too and while he doesn't want a third party, maybe that is the only thing.....

Its nonsense. We are in the midst of the greatest purging of a political party since the New Left took over the Democratic party in the early 1970s and Beck refuses to give but the most tepid credit to those Republicans who are doing it.

We have a difference of opinion on this. I saw the program, but that's not my take on what you cited. Beck does go after anyone who isn't a conservative and the republican party elite, the GOP that I think Beck is referring to, is not conservative and is exactly the problem with the republican party.

I appreciate how sensitive republicans might be regarding Beck's criticisms, but Beck is telling you what you need to hear. There are many of us former Republicans who tell you with our membership and our donations or lack of either, but apparently the GOP isn't getting that message yet.

Stop whining and fighting with Beck over petty trivia and prove him wrong with conservative action. Do that and watch your membership and donations increase. Fail to do this and risk a third party. People are paying more attention to politics now thanks to Beck and others like him, so give those potential voters reason to pay attention to the GOP.

Republicans need to earn back the trust they lost just a few short years ago. Voters are mad at the demonrats right now, but we haven't forgotten about you big spending republicans who give lip service to fiscal responsibility and Constitutional restraint.

Remember Reagan's advice about getting more done when you don't care who gets the credit? Stop looking for credit, tepid or otherwise, for doing the right thing and instead work for results and you'll get all the credit you can handle.
