Have you even listened to his show?
In fact, just yesterday, he was saying he has NOT always been for Romney and the ONLY reason he IS for Romney now, is because he DOES NOT WANT Obama to get re-elected. They were making fun of Romney, and created the tshirt (as I posted in an earlier post) that “at least he’s not a commie”.
Granted, I don’t agree with him and am not sure myself who I’m going to vote for, especially if it’s Romney.
Try listening to his show sometime, and you’ll see, the whole “bot for Romney thing, is BS.
Oh, and by the way, if you did bother listening to his show, you’d know he was actually a Santorum bot.
Glenn Beck has always been a closeted Romney supporter. He chose to support Santorum publically only to hide his real support for Romney. He knew Santorum would not win the nomination just like several FAKE Santorum supporters here in FreeRepublic. Only difference is... Glenn Beck went underground for Romney out of fears that his Christian listeners would think he was in the tank over Romney because they share the same religion. The FAKE Santorum supporters in FreeRepublic went underground for Romney out of fears of getting zotted.
You see, the Romneybots were driven underground here in FR so they had to choose an alternative candidate to pretend to support until their real favorite won. By that time they felt that FreeRepublic would end up supporting that candidate over Obama.
Because these posters are establishment republican supporters they decided to choose Santorum as their “fake” favorite candidate. And because they are who they are they felt that Santorum is just another right-wing, religious nut-job who would never win the nomination (their thinking not mine) and that’s why they chose Santorum as their guy to hide behind during the primaries.
Now that he’s gone they continue to post as Santorum supporters because they have nowhere else to go. They certainly would not become a fake supporter of Newt because Romney’s conservative opposition is no longer split.
What do they do now?
Continue to be fake Santorum supporters who are saddened but claim they will not vote for Romney (they have to claim that so they do not get banned). So, they continue to bash Newt hoping their guy Romney will hurry up and get this thing won so that FreeRepublic (as they think) will circle the wagons around their guy. Until then they will bash Newt (as if there still remains a conservative alternative against Romney). Deep down inside they want Romney to win. They just cannot say it because they are afraid they will get zotted.
Having said that, of course there were many real Santorum supporters and there still are. Most of them (FR posters) have moved to Newt’s side with some exceptions.
Santorum supporters were and are legit. But not all who claim to be anti-Newt Santorum supporters are really for Santorum.
Especially now, the Romneybots are easy to sniff out. I’ve got several of them pegged already. I’m not the zotting type. They’ll get caught sooner or later because now it’s so obvious. I prefer to let the moderators decide who is and who is not. Me, I think it’s funny because they are as fake as the guy they are in the closet supporting :)
Wrong.
Beck is a support of Romney, statistics says its so 98% of lds support Romney, I do not for a minute beleive Beck is a 2%er.
His anti support is a ruse, based on everything from his show and his statements.
Believe it or not it still true.
This is how Beck was running his game 2 years ago, this was before he started the cycling through of ‘beards’ who were weak and of no serious threat to Romney, people like Bachmann and Santorum.
Beck never played that pretend game with anyone who was truly opposed to, or a threat to Romney, like Palin or Gingrich.
**From mediaite:
Glenn Beck and radio pals Pat Gray and Stu Burguiere rattled down the list of potential Republican nominees for President in 2012 this morning, and they had some bad news for the Tea Party movement: Sarah Palin probably won’t run, Ron Paul is still and long shot, and Mitt Romney, as of now, is the GOP’s best bet.
While Gray and Burguiere are harsh to most of the candidates, Beck spreads the love around. He tells his co-hosts that he likes Palin but doesn’t think she will run, Bobby Jindal but doesn’t think he has the charisma, and Congressman Paul but doesn’t think America is ready for him. Then, at the bottom of the pile, he finds Mitt Romney:
“I have to tell you that Mitt Romney could be the only guy that could win, and I don’t know if he could because I think that Americans are going to be I mean, this country is going to be in deep trouble by 2012, and the next term, if it’s not decided this term, the next term will decide our fate. Then I hope that Americans are ready for an adult and are ready for hard news.”
The actual audio and “context” is worse than the quote, especially when you hear the Palin to Romney transition.
