Glenn Beck characterized Newt Gingrich as a big government "progressive" in the Teddy Roosevelt mold during a radio interview. Beck criticized Gingrich for his support for government initiatives to expand healthcare and curb global warming.

It was a label that Gingrich embraced, saying that in the area of healthcare, "I'm a Theodore Roosevelt Republican and I believe government can lean in the regulatory leaning is okay," according to the transcript of the Glenn Beck radio show.

He is so darn beautiful.

I miss my last big guy so very much. I love my GSD, but I keep thinking that someday, I may be fortunate enough to have another proud Dobermann.

Correct and another four Obama term is what some of these yahoos would rather see other than vote for Gingrich or some other candidate they dislike. They search for the illusive perfect candidate while our country is being destroyed day by day. They would rather see the country destroyed. I detest those people more than I detest liberals who do not try to hide their true convictions and at least are not cowardly scum. However, I respect their right to vote or not vote their way but I do not respect the person that does so.

Exactly.

Say what you want about Gingrich but he is the ONLY candidate in this primary who has kept the focus on Obama, where it should be.

Wrong. Giuliani has been a conservative from his days as prosecutor in New York. He is pro choice and thus is detested here on FR.

He is both pro-abortion and pro-gay marriage

It is not possible to be pro-abortion and be conservative.

It is not possible to oppose natural marriage and family and be conservative.

You calling me a liberal? Like Giuliani, I believe that the woman has a right to choose, now matter how badly I disagree. Like Giuliani, I believe that if the state votes to approve homosexual marriage, so be it, and, again, no matter how much I disagree. I believe that if you check, Giuliana is permitted to take mass. I do not believe that Pelosi is.

Beck is in the tank for Mittens—a fellow Mormon.

I’m calling anyone who believes in abortion a non-conservative, and also not a believer in the constitution that says life can’t be taken without due process of law.

That child has committed no offense that I know of to justify capital punishment.

Out of date? The interview was yesterday.

But Beck is using >10 year-old positions from Newt.

YES, that makes you a liberal abortionist.

Like Giuliani, I believe that if the state votes to approve homosexual marriage, so be it, and, again, no matter how much I disagree.

And THAT makes you a liberal pushing homosexualism.

Begone troll.

Good grief, Boss! We've got self-proclaimed "conservatives" espousing liberal views and thinking they're in "good standing". Are they stupid or duplicitous?

America is like a healthy body and its resistance is threefold: its patriotism, its morality, and its spiritual life. If we can undermine these three areas, America will collapse from within. - Joseph Stalin

So your pro-choice, pro-sodomy crap has survived on FR since 1998???

How the hell did that happen? Oh, and yes - you are a liberal. Anyone who thinks killing an unborn human is a choice is a lib.

That’s what I get for not following Beck.
