As they talked about after the interview, Roosevelt went from being a big government guy, to being a huge massive government guy.
I cannot vote for Newt Gingrich after hearing this interview. He hung himself.
I’m supporting Bachmann.
Okay, let’s go with Bachman/Santorum. They can’t get over mid single digits inside their own party, sadly, but we will feel better about ourselves. Of course, we lose the general but what the hey? It’s only the collapse and implosion of a nation. Any other ideas?
Intellectually...Gingrich is a searchlight while Beck is a 15 watt CFL....
Thanks for posting this. I was looking for it.
The sooner Newt gets out of the way, the better.
Newt claims to be a conservcative but his knee jerk reaction to ANY problem is some government action. How is that conservative???

There is a basic point here that everyone misses, even regarding Romney.
There is no way these people and a republican Congress, are not going to repeal Obamacare and the individual mandate. Heck, the Supreme Court may invalidate the individual mandate by then.
Yes, they all toyed with the idea, and they supported the medicare prescription drug plan because let’s face it, politics. They are not pure yada yada yada.
But we are going to have to pick one of these republicans. It probably is not going to be Bachman or Santorum.
Yes, Newt and every other republican has toyed with some big government. They still will be 1000% better than Obama, for more reasons than can be listed here.
Newt is not a libertarian. He also is not a liberal.
last point, Newt is right that people needed to be prepared for big change and a consensus needs to be developed. That is policy neutral, and it is unfair to call it “progressive rhetoric” as Beck does.
I listened to it carefully and he never really directly answered Glen’s questions.
Newt is a professional politician of the highest order, which means double talk and evading answers by way of starting to answer and somewhere in the middle of said answer changes the subject.
He does it so masterfully and without hesitation most people don’t realize.
GINGRICH: I guess I’m a Theodore Roosevelt Republican
How soon we forget...
JOHN MCCAIN, JUNE 2008: “I count myself as a conservative Republican, yet I view it to a large degree in the Theodore Roosevelt mold,”
T.R. was a PROGRESSIVE, not a "conservative". He introduced big government solutions to America, launched the age of radical environmentalism, and endorsed and cheerleaded EUGENICS, as later brought to perfection by Margaret Sanger ("human weeds") and Adolf Hitler.
I'm never sure what Newt is ...but then I feel the same way about Beck! I do think that Newt can be deliberately misleading at times.
‘Still haven't decide if I can vote for Newt ...I think I can on one day; and then the next day he says something that really troubles me. ARGGGGGHHHH!
I dont trust anyone that is pimping for Climate Change, a total BS movement.
“President Obama will give an economic speech in Osawatomie, Kan., Tuesday at a location the White House says it was very specific in picking and was meant to stir echoes of President Teddy Roosevelt.”
I just got done listening to the interview then I saw your post. Agree. Newt hung himself. Glenn did a great job with the interview.

When Glenn asked “Shouldn’t we be getting away from these government subsidies?” and Newt said (to paraphrase) “No we should replace them with something better and more expensive.” I too realized that I cannot support the guy against any other Republican other than Romney. Romney and Newt are near the bottom of my list. They have been and, while I was open to Newt for a while, still am.
My thought at the end of the interview is that the race isn’t between Romney and Newt. The race is between Newt and whoever is willing to stand up against big government. It could have been Pawlenty but he quit. It could have been Palin but she decided not to run. It’s a month out from the first vote and I still don’t know who that person is.
From the above link: Ron Paul is a bottom feeder. He refuses to support a Constitutional amendment to protect normal, heterosexual marriage. He voted to turn the United States military into a San Francisco bath house by repealing DADT. He wants to see drugs and prostitution legalized. He thinks Islamo-Nazi Iran should have a nuclear weapon. He surrounds himself with lunatics like Cindy Sheehan's love slave, Screwy Lewy Rockwell.
What does Beck think about Paul?
I have a feeling Perry is going to end up getting another look by conservatives before this is all over.
Does Beck approve of anybody besides RuPaul? Just curious.
