Why does Glenn Beck have disgust for & overlooks the Gingrich record on Israel, balanced budgets?
January 5, 2012 | Ralph Mitchell

Posted on 01/05/2012 8:11:02 AM PST by mitchell001

Can someone tell me why Glenn Beck has such digust for Newt Gingrich, without mentionning his conservative credentials on Israel and Balanced budgets? Glenn said on GBTV last night that he leaves political expertise to Rush Limbaugh. However, he does not mention that Rush is usually positive on Newt's conservative background. The vitrol toward Newt Gingrich from Glenn and his GBTV panelists seems to be unreasonable and coordinated. Any explanations would be appreciated.

—Isnt the world going to end sometime soon anyway?—

As we know it, yes. It’s why I watch the election with the same interest with which I watch the Superbowl.

GB was initially touting Huntsman, really touting the guy but I think he's now settled on Mitt as the man for him.

Not a shock here, though there's lots to not like about Newt but for GB I think he likes to claim he's more Libertarian, so I'm wondering why Paul isn't his candidate.

Same reason I was not so fast to jump on the Newt bandwagon. I just don’t understand the man crush on Newt all of a sudden. You could not get a kind word from a conservative or TEA Party member about Newt when Cain and Perry were on top and Newt was in the single digits. It’s one thing to have to support the guy because no one else has caught fire. But it’s quite another to get amnesia about all the reasons you did not like Newt a few months ago. And now with Santorum the latest non-Romney candidate to catch fire, you are starting to see how truly loyal the new Newt followers really were. They are not. They are storming over to the Santorum camp.

Could it be the fact than Newt is nothing more than another GOP establishment RINO with piss-poor judgment?

Beck was baptised Catholic. His daughter started running around with a Morman and she got him to go church with her (a Morman Church). Apparently he was a cafeteria Catholic who didn’t take his faith too serious, and she got him to become a Morman. So this fruitcake left the Church that was started by Christ himself 2000 years ago to join a “church” started by some character named Joe Smith. Beck says he was also impressed with the Morman’s no alcohol tradition. He said he was a drunk and wanted to quit drinking. I don’t guess this odd-ball thought he could quit drinking if he remained Catholic.

Beck is an odd-ball and a nutcase. He was basically ran off Faux News. He has said in the past he agrees with most of Ron Paul’s views.

Right to Life -

Asked in an interview on the CBS News program “Face the Nation,” whether he agreed with Republicans who oppose Federal abortion payments in cases of rape or incest or to protect the life of a mother, Mr. Gingrich said: “No. First of all, I think you should have funding in the case of rape or incest or life of the mother, which is the first step.”

Self Defense -

“In 1996, Newt Gingrich turned his back on guns and voted for the anti-gun Brady Campaign’s Lautenberg Gun Ban, which strips the Second Amendment rights of citizens involved in misdemeanor domestic violence charges or temporary protection orders –- in some cases for actions as minor as spanking a child or grabbing a spouse’s wrist.(1)”

Newt has since had a “converstion to Catholicism” (conversion of convenience just in time for an election) and is nothing more than a flip-flopping RINO, just like Mitt Romney.

Why do FReepers overlook Newt’s big government progressivism?

After all, at the Huckabee forum Newt said he would replace the EPA with another federal agency.

Are you listening to him right now? He is covering this quite thourly. He is playing the clip of Newt describing himself as a REALPOLITIK WILSONIAN. Does that sound like any Conservative you’ve ever seen? Wilson was a Progressive mess. Not a good comparison.

Glenn's tv show is gone.

His radio show has turned into a who can laugh the most and lame joke fest.

I've stopped listening, and will not be paying a subscription fee for his “network”

Let me help you....:

Obama is killing this country and Newt is the ONLY candidate willing to punch him in the mouth!

Beck, like other RomneyBOTs, conveniently
ignore Romney’s record and merely sabotage other
candidates in their blind, lockstep service for the
backstabbing Bishop Romney. They are his Legion.

Isn’t he supporting Santorum now that Bachmann has dropped out? I’ve never heard him support Mitt, but you may know something the rest of us don’t.

“Newt has since had a “converstion to Catholicism” (conversion of convenience just in time for an election) and is nothing more than a flip-flopping RINO, just like Mitt Romney.”

Newt is not ‘just like Mitt Romney’.

Both have made appallingly wrong headed judgement calls and character assessments. However, Newt has moved conservative agendas forward in his career, a thing that Romney has never done and will never do.

Your hatchet is blunt.
