Glenn Beck says he is no longer a member of the Republican Party.
Ive made my decision Im out," Beck said on his radio show Wednesday, according to Mediaite.com. "Im out of the Republican Party. I am not a Republican; I will not give a dime to the Republican Party. Im out.
The former Fox News host and founder of the Blaze supported the GOP during the last election cycle but has become disillusioned with the party in recent years over what he believes was its failure to stand up to the Obama administration specifically, the Affordable Care Act and immigration reform.
Four years ago I was with them," Beck said. "Four years ago I said, Work from the inside, lets change it, lets get new guys in there."
But those efforts have proved futile, he said.

I don’t think Beck is crazy one bit.
He is very good at convincing crazy people to give him money, though.
He's only just now noticing that?
Huh, you REALLY think that?
Beck probably found out about Soros at Free Republic.
Of course Beck is right. Many on FR have been saying this for a long time.
Republicans, unless they just so happen to also be conservative, are part of the problem.
I am registered Republican so I will have a say-so in primary elections. However, I don’t consider myself a Republican. I’m a conservative, and proud of it.
“Point is we can do it again. And hopefully will learn from our mistakes.”
You’re kidding, right?
We're all in the same fight. We need to hang together or we'll all hang separately.
Thanks, ConservativeMind.
Nope.
Wouldn’t kid about something as serious as losing the country.
Seems to be a more positive solution than brass and lead:-)
I’m not saying it will work necessarily - just saying that the idea has never been to convert the RINOs - it’s been to outnumber them in Congress and/or have a titular head of the party who is conservative (that would be a nominee/President as a conservative).
There are no guarantees, and yes, the allure and the aphrodesiac of power in DC is very powerful and corrupts many.

problem I see is many run as conservatives and aren’t. or change.
it’s so terribly frustrating!
True.
Did he cry?
That you do. I remember this Bishop Sheen show: "One of his best-remembered presentations came in February 1953, when he forcefully denounced the Soviet regime of Joseph Stalin. Sheen gave a dramatic reading of the burial scene from Shakespeare's Julius Caesar, substituting the names of prominent Soviet leaders Stalin, Lavrenty Beria, Georgy Malenkov, and Andrey Vyshinsky for the original Caesar, Cassius, Marc Antony, and Brutus. He concluded by saying, "Stalin must one day meet his judgment." The dictator suffered a stroke a few days later and died within a week."
I was 9 at the time, (we just got a B/W 17" TV) but it was an early engram on the evils of communism. He was an excellent teacher. Kids just don't see this kind of thing these days. .
That is a problem, and yes, its frustrating and infuriating.
I forget who it is without an exhaustive search, but there is a Freeper amongst us that claims to have been baptized by Bishop Sheen.
Amazing. I'm waxing all philosophical tonight thinking of all those great TV shows that 'the kids' will never see, except maybe reruns of Gunsmoke. Guess it's a sign that I keep thinking of 'the good ole' days'. . Maybe it's because I worry so much about the future. . the big picture and all. .
I don't consider myself a republican any more, and I will never give to them, and haven't for sometime....
but if I take my name off the pub voting list, does it mean I can't vote in the primary?....I live in Washington state...
Told you so, Glenn.
