Beck is out of date on this issue.

[Buckeye Battle Cry]

Perhaps, but Newt is a superior option to Mitt.

[sodpoodle]

*Gingrich explained to Beck that Big Government programs like Medicare and Social Security were a fact of life, but that they could be changed to open them up to promote individual liberty. The introduction of market mechanisms into both programs would improve an individual’s freedom of choice.*

Any questions?

[Blado]

Not Mormon?

Glen Beck isn't the sharpest political pundit in the drawer.

My guess is his magic underwear are twisted up over Mutt Romney tanking in the polls.

[Le Chien Rouge]

I’m not a fan of Newt but I prefer him over Mitt BIGTIME.

On election day, I will crawl over broken glass thru nuclear fallout in order to vote for him.

Personally, I firmly believe the main battle preparing to be waged( and one that REALLY scares the left along with the media) is really being ignored:

The GOP with a HUGE opportunity to retake the senate with a big majority.

[svxdave]

Newt is so full of baggage that the Obamacrats are thrilled that he is ahead in the polls. They got their choice with McCain last time but it will be worse with Newt.

Notice how fast that the Obamacrats shut up Pelosi when she started to dish up dirt on Newt? They want to run against him. When things Newt has said and done are brought up in the campaign, even the strongest republican crowd will be disgusted.

[Cletus.D.Yokel]

:: Glenn Beck characterized Newt Gingrich as a big government “progressive” in the Teddy Roosevelt mold ::

And will Glen support Romney as a “big government “progressive” in the Lyndon Johnson mold”?

Yo, Glen...your shark is waiting and the ski ramp is all set.

[manc]

Beck is not a conservative is he, maybe he needs to look at his own side not our republican field .those who are libertarian and who is running on that ticket anyway?

Any reason why Ron Paul is running on our ticket when he is not a conservative, why not run on his libertarian ticket, why try and hijack our ticket?

[brownsfan]

Looks to me like we had better prepare for 4 more years of Obama.

Newt - baggage, and 1/2 of the Republicans want to trash him.

Mitt - baggage, and 3/4 of the Republicans want to trash him.

Bachman - Does “not a chance.” mean anything to you?

Welcome back comrade Obama.

[arrdon]

WHATEVER! If Glen Beck can BEAT OBAMA, let HIM run. Newt, or who-the-hell-ever; somebody beat this SOB and get him the hell out of our hair. Enough with Obama.

[lahargis]

Beck needs to concentrate on his food insurance.

[RnMomof7]

Mormon blood is thicker than water.. or ideals

[samtheman]

Beck is a Mormon. If he doesn’t pull for Mitt, he won’t be awarded his own god planet and 93 virgins in the afterlife. (Don’t they get 21 more than the muzzies?)

[I haven’t read this thread so I apologize if I’m repeating what’s already been discussed.]

[wardaddy]

Beck also worships socialist Cong sympathizer...etc...MLK

And hates TR and thinks radical Reconstruction era GOP were peachy

And CRA and other 60s excesses ...were great too

He is a dry drunk neo yankee...no disrespect to good northerners

And his Mormon kinsmenship is showing

I will take philanderer and abrasive but tuff and smart Newt anyday over Beck

Beck is a charlatan to me

[ConservChristian]

I've watched/listened to Glenn for quite awhile with great interest but then actually had to stop watching the Fox show because his take on everything, although steeped in MUCH truth, was just too hopeless and apocalyptic in it's presentation for me. I found it extremely depressing. Even so, I must say I was shocked when I saw this clip. I mean WTF Glenn? Newt has said a lot of stuff in his career, but aside from Ronald Reagan, I know of no other politician in my lifetime that has actually ACCOMPLISHED a conservative agenda in DC. To say that Newt and Obama are the "same" is absolute insanity. And then to say that he could not vote for Newt, even after the load of evil, Marxist, Saul Alinsky, Vaughn Jones, etc., diatribes he has given, just made me question the intellectual honesty of his motives? Get a grip Glenn! Newt is still a patriot and Obama IS NOT!!!

I find it interesting how elections end up defining so many more people than just the candidates. I mean, Ann Coulter on the Mitt train? She tweeted that Mitt "destroyed" Newt on the Palestinian issue in the debate tonight! Really Ann? I thought Mitt sounded like a pussy!

[Blackyce]

How long are we all going to go on ignoring the likelihood that Beck’s tolerance of Romney is based on their shared religion? I’m not a big Newt fan, but there’s not a single argument you can make against Newt on the issues that wouldn’t apply in spades against Mitt. You can attack Newt for his marital problems, but that doesn’t make him a “progressive” and Romney a conservative given the fact that they’ve flip flopped on many of the exact same issues(with Romney flip flopping on twice as many fronts). It’s becoming more and more of a joke as this process moves forward. If Beck wants to throw a tantrum and play for the other team at the end of the day, so be it.
