Thank you Glen, I have been writing on some of the blogs about Newt, all of the things that he has voted for, the books that he has written, his book “Contract with the Earth” where he outlines that we need  a global gov., his taking 1.6 to 1.8 million dollars from Freddie mac, Newt, Barney frank and Chris Dodd should all be in jail for their roles in this mtge crisis which has so devastated our economy, his character, he is not the person I want for my president.

There are no true conservatives in this race save two…Does anyone wanna guess who they are?

There is finally an open, truthful admission on how collectivism in all its manifestations–e.g. progressivism, socialism, fascism and communism– has crept into the Republican party; In fact, collectivism is flourishing, and the symptoms of it in the Republican party are self evident.

GBTV did a very fine job in presenting the truth and exposing Newt for who he is. I know it’s painful, because Obama is such a danger to America that some are desperate to replace him; however, don’t you think it’s better to have an honest discussion about the man whom you are going to support as the replacement?

The classic question remains: Can the dimly-aware, somnolent Republicans handle the truth, viz. Newt is a progressive who speaks with a forked tongue. Newt has a foot on the side of every fence and a hand in everybody’s pocket. Newt has slept in more than a few different beds both politically and otherwise..

If you’re going to support Newt, then at least be honest with yourself about his record.

Glenn, 

While compelling your arguement is still weak because you make the assumptions based on ”guilt by association”  as its backing.  But lets break down the ”guilt by association” arguement and apply
it another way. So, simply put because Newt liked early TR as a trust
busting, child labor law, workplace saftey standards, evironmentalism
friendly policy, FDA supposting Republican, long before TR made his
Progressivism speech and went Bull Moose, by that association; Newt is a
Progressive. That is your arguement.

Now based on that arguement, President Reagan could be labeled a progressive as well.
Yep!
you guessed it….President Ronald Reagan is a progressive under your arguement plan. Why, because President Reagan based alot of
his campaign and Presidential policies had their origins based on FDR.

President
Reagan was fond of quoting FDR and agreed with some of his policies and
decisions. Therefore, based on your model President Reagan
was a Progressive…. again, RIDICULOUS. Glenn, your argument is weak
and malicious just like the ”guilt by association” arguement on
Reagan!!!!

Google ”the Roosevelt Myth” by Murray N. Rothbard
which is a white paper that goes indept on Reagan and origins. Good read
with alot of facts.

Additionally, here is the sad part; You are now calling Rick Santorum a liar.

Here is Rick Santorum end of the last Republican debate this past weekend 11 Dec 2011;

”Back
in the late 80s I listened to Newt and his tapes and that helped me in
me decisions to run for congress and I adopted (Newt’s Conservative
Ideals)”…..story story story….I stuck by the Conservative
principles that Newt outline in the late 80s and he (Newt) has always
served me well and I have been a Consistant Conservative since”

to paraphrase;
”Newt
Gingrich is the man that taught me to be a Conservative…Newt is the
man I admire and made me the Conservative I am today…”

Since Rick Santorum follows
Newt’s idea of Conservatisim does that mean you are calling Rick
Santorum a Progressive??????

Come on Glenn…if Newt Gingrich made good on the 1990s Contract with America which shrank the size of the Federal Government by 3% according to the GAO during the time he was speaker, lowered taxes, help to foster an economic environment that created 4% unemployment, and produced budget surpluses that paid over 500 billion down on the national debt. What makes you think he will not follow though on his 21st Century Contract with America that:

Repeals Obamacare
Fires all the unconstitutional Czars
Save Medicare and Social Security
Balances the federal budget ( something he has done) by shrinking the size of Government
Enforces the Tenth Amendment by transfering power away from the Federal Government and back to the States.
Reduce Corporate Taxes to 12.5%
Abolish Capital Gains
No more Death Tax
Repeal Dodd Frank
Repeal Sarbanes-Oxley

Plus he is Pro Life, Pro family, he is a strong supporter of School Choice and Charter School programs.

Plus, he is definietly strong on defense, Irsael, war on Terror, removing the leash on the CIA, and not closing Guantanamo.

This sounds like a Reagan definition of Conservative to me. You know…lower taxes, less intrusive government, constitutional rights and freedoms.

This is what the TEA party sees….they see Newt’s performance of the past as speaker and
exact promises that he fullfilled in the past in the 21st Century Contract with America.
Why would he not fullfill these promises…he already did it once.

Does Newt have baggage…yes.  Is Newt perfect….no  Will he be the best President ever…..no one can say.  Will he be better than Obama…..absolutely!

Personally, I prefer Rick Santorum but with his poll numbers and Iowa only a week away I can see the writing on the wall but I will not go AWOL on the Conservatives of the Republican Party and abandon the best hope to restore America.  I think you need to re think your positions because Honestly  Ron Paul is a nut on foreign  policy and his isolationist views on foreign policy will have the same results of the 1930s appeasement crowd….another world war.

Man, a Shoe/Pen ticket is looking good…where can I get my bumper sticker.  Newt is no beaut.   I am unwilling to vote for him, and or Romney.  Good grief, I finally got some political spine, I’m not going to toss it away on Newt or Mitt, or Ru Paul.  The best way out a darkness is with light, not a muffled, or slightly covered light, but one that shines and cuts through darkness.  At their very definition light and darkness are polar opposites.  I was too weak-kneed to stand up with the tea party when they were taking the country by storm.  I hope they will keep standing, and put the tyrant out.

The GOP debates are dominating if not controlling the GOP nomination due to their sheer volume and frequency, profoundly advantaging a loquacious debater of Gingrich’s principle-variable conviction-unencumbered intellectual agility.

The general election debates will have far less importance to the more easily influenced portion of the electorate.  The mushy middle follows media hype and hysteria, not rational analysis.

The general election will likely be decided by how much of Obama’s $1 billion mud campaign will stick to his opponent(s).  Michele Bachmann’s record, abilities, consistency and personal life are pure as driven snow compared to Gingrich, Romney and Perry.  What issues she has are minor and have been fully vaccinated against over the past 6 months.

Bachmann is as close to a teflon candidate as the GOP has.

Obama’s only chance at re-election is to make it about his opponent’s perceived problems, real or created.  There is no more target rich environment for Obama’s Seal Team 1,000,000,000 than the past 30 years of Gingrich’s career and personal life.  A Gingrich campaign against Obama’s machine will make McCain’s look successful by comparison; it will be an unmitigated disaster.

Want 4 more years of Obama?  Newt’s your man, and Obama’s team knows it.

Does gb honestly believe that a sweater and a smirk will lead us to believe he isn’t a jealous, insane and unstable a**hole.
Don’t get me wrong…newt is even a lower piece of sh** than glenn, but it does make me laugh when beck tries to criticize him.
The only point glenn can make is that when he cheated on his wife with a bottle of booze and jar of painkillers his wife wasn’t in the hospital.
Of course, now the republicans leading Presidential candidate had more than enough courage to cheat on his wife while she was in the hospital.
Wow, the conservatives are dong such a great job!!!!
1.  Pray away the gay Bachmann…
2.  Lets go huntin’ from our racist camp Perry…
3.  Fondle any co-worker and cheat on my wife Cain…
4.  Tell my wife I love her while she fights cancer so I can nail another girl later Newt…

Well done republicans…well done!

I’m behind Michele Bachmann.

Right from the beginning I was against Romney and Perry. I came to understand Gingrich better and decided against Gingrich. Cain eliminated himself. And Paul has embarrassed me as a long time supporter with his foreign policy dialogue. The other candidates just aren’t willing to and aren’t capable of making the kinds of changes this country needs.

It has to be Michele Bachmann. She has the integrity, determination, and ability to change this country in substantial ways. In necessary ways. We need to eliminate government programs, and not just reduce funding or lighten regulations. We need to repeal bills passed by our government dating back into the legislative history of this country. We need someone who will draw a line in the sand that they won’t allow to be crossed protecting our rights.

We need to rally behind Michele Bachmann. She is the best candidate for the job.

I am only going to comment on the last line of your post.
Honestly I think Isolationism is the only way our great country is going to pull it’s self out of the crap hole that Carter started digging, that Clinton started digging again after Reagan filled the hole in and Obama took a bunker buster too. Close off to the world aside from a few select allies. Let the rest handle their own problems for a while. So we can rebuild and return to the great nation we once were. Where when you go to the store and find stuff made in America and not Mexico, China, and Twain. Kick the illegals out and open more jobs. Tell all the American owned companies that have all their plants outside the US, you want to bring your products here you can. But you will pay 20x more on the import fees, than if you just made it here.

Glenn is right, and so is MarsBarsTru7. Michele is the one who will do what she says, and always has; and she will take the necessary steps to repair the damage done by progressives from both parties.

Awesome Glenn. People call you a GOP hack and I laugh at them because you always call them out based on your principles.

By “them” I mean Republicans.

I love Glenn – joined him in Israel, and long ago sent him many of the works he cited regarding Progressivism.  And yes, there are progressives, lots, in the Republican Party.  But Newt Gingrich is most assuredly NOT one.  Glenn, in an unusual situation, has not done his homework, and worse, has not placed ANY historical context on the issues he raises.  He certainly has not placed any historical context on Theodore Roosevelt, not my favorite President (Like Glenn, I believe there is Washington, and everyone else).

Here’s Glenn’s list one by one and why he is wrong.
1)Climate change – Newt has not proposed ANY government plan to solve it.  He has said that there is climate change, and oh, btw, there is, but that we don’t know whether it is natural climatic cycles or man made.  His original position on cap and trade, which was a CONSERVATIVE idea 20 years ago, was to PRIVATIZE it. 

2) Individual Mandate – the individual mandate was originally proposed by the Heritage Foundation, the leading CONSERVATIVE think tank as an alternative to a full socialized medicine plan – Hillary Care.  Instead, Newt managed to lead the fight against Hillary care so the entire point became moot.

3) Ethanol Subsidies – I do agree that these are a mistake.  However, Newt’s position here is that it is better to support American farmers than to send money overseas for more oil.  The subsidies exist and have since the Great Depression.  So, his support is wrong, but it is not his proposal.

4) The Fairness Doctrine – it is simply incredible that Glenn would bring this up.  This, again, was a CONSERVATIVE plan to combat the total lack of Conservative voices in the media.  Once talk radio began to become more evenhanded in the ’90′s he dropped his support and now that it is being promoted by the left, he actively opposes it.

5) Federal intervention on education – this is simply false (I’ll refrain from saying a lie).  Newt’s position is that any monies now currently provided by the Federal government be bloc granted BACK TO THE STATES, and used for Pell grants or the like to give parents the CHOICE of schools, i.e. vouchers, to send their children to ANY school they wish, including religious schools (this is as far from Progressive as there is on the spectrum).

6) Paul Ryan’s budget bill – Another misstatement.  He absolutely did not oppose his budget bill.  What I assume Glenn is discussing here is the “right wing social engineering” quote.  This was in response, NOT ABOUT PAUL RYAN’S plan, but when asked by David Gregory if the Republicans should ram down our throats an unpopular plan like Obamacare, that is how he responded. 

7) Immigration – the idea that we are going to round up 13 million people and put them in cattle cars and send them back, is absurd.  Right now ICE cannot find most of the illegals.  What does Newt propose?  PRIVATIZING the system.  Using a private company to come up with a guest worker card.  What does this do?  Add to the tax base of the country, allow us to actually track immigrants, rather than the system now which relies on voluntary compliance!!!  (I’m an illegal alien criminal and I will voluntarily turn myself in!!! yeah, that will work).  What Newt says is take those that are already paying taxes and in the system, and allow them to not be deported but NOT BECOME CITIZENS.  Btw, a progressive would say that immigrants are the great unwashed and we should euthanize them or get rid of them, so certainly Newt’s proposal is again, the very antithesis of Progressivism.
The Dept of Education – again, Glenn is missing the historic context.  All one has to do is read the bill that ‘created it”.  There was no creation of the DOE.  It was simply split off from the Dept. of Health, Education and Welfare.  If you read the act, what it does is demand that STATES have the control over education and the budget for the new department was 13 MILLION.  Not only not an increase, but a DECREASE in the amount of money spent on that part of the DHEW!!!!  So, he voted for a Decrease in the size of government.  Now, it is true he should have known that no Federal government dept ever remains small, but that is a structural mistake, not philosophic.

Oh, and btw, the man who first proposed a Department of Education?  Warren Harding, my second favorite President, who ushered in the roaring ’20′s by cutting the size of government 50% in 2 years and ended Wilson’s depression of 1920.

Although I cannot stand Mitt for brains, he was correct in accusing Newt of making money through Freddy and Fanny as a lobbyist being different from the Capitalist practices Mitt used to allow for the creative destruction vital to a free market.  Newt as a big govt. Republican is as bad as odumbas in that he does not see the proper role of the market.
Think of the market place as a heard of wild animals the likes of which are culled by disease and predators who rid the heard of the very weaknesses that would bring down the whole.
We can also think of the market place as a beast of burden who when govt. applies the loads of over regulation, over taxation and excessive lawsuits to its laden weight, eventually brings down the whole market to ruin and in return all those things that were trying to be saved in the first place.  The Tea Party should embrace the creative market place and not the crony capitalism that threatens our freedom which odumas promotes.

Excellent. You checkmated Glenn here and I enjoyed reading it. 

Irony of ironies. We have all heard the analogy of liberalism not allowing the market to transform from the horse and buggy to the automobile.   Newt appears to want to blame Mitt for using capitalism for the destruction of outdated endeavors, while Mitt a mormon gets rid of the buggy whip.  LOL Mitt is right on this.  

Paul and Bachmann.  If not them then chances are it is Slim and None.

Actually Stephen, Glenn’s right and you’re the one spouting falsehoods. Take Climate change for example – Newt Gingrich most assuredly DID propose government plants to solve it when he co-sponsored the 1989 climate change bill with fellow ‘Conservative’ Pelosi. The effect of the bill was as follows:

(1) that the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere
be reduced from 1987 levels by at least 20 percent by the year 2005
[this would have bankrupted the United States by the way and would have thoroughly destroyed job growth for decades to come] through a mix of Federal and State energy policies;
(2) the
establishment of an INTERNATIONAL GLOBAL AGREEMENT [Newt is all about these kinds of agreements as he is a globalist first and an American second] on the Atmosphere by
1992. Requires the Secretary of Energy (the Secretary) and the
Administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency to report to the
Congress within two years regarding whether a higher level of carbon
dioxide emissions reduction is desirable after 2005, together with any
necessary POLICY ACTIONS and their costs and benefits.

But for those of us who understand the real issues facing America, issues of health care and the environment, upon which Newt Gingrich has established himself as a clear leftist in conservative clothing (along with immigration reform), is his globalist (un-American) philosophy.

Another explanation for Gingrich’s
liberal voting record is that he has been a member, since 1990, of the
Council on Foreign Relations (CFR), a group founded in 1921 as a think
tank of influential politicians and policymakers dedicated to
sacrificing national independence to create a global government. He
showed his fidelity to internationalism in a speech at the Center for
Strategic and International Affairs in July of 1995 when he brazenly
admitted his disdain for our founding document.

“The American
challenge in leading the world is compounded by our Constitution,” he
said. “Under our [constitutional system] – either we’re going to have to
rethink our Constitution, or we’re going to have to rethink our process
of decision-making.” He went on to profess an oxymoronic belief in
“very strong but limited federal government,” and pledged, “I am for the
United Nations.” That is certainly no surprise since his mentor is none
other than former Secretary of State and National Security Advisor
Henry Kissinger (also a CFR member and one-world internationalist).

As an aside – Obama? Also a member of the Council of Foreign Relations; his wife a director of the Chicago Chapter. America’s problems will not abate in the slightest until Americans start electing politicians to office whose primary concern is America, and not the United Nations.

As a member of the Tea Party, who supports limited government (unlike Newt who supports global government and bigger government at home), who supports lower taxes and responsible spending (unlike Newt who supports reckless big government spending at home, and abroad i.e. huge financial aid to foreign nations), who believes in and wants a government which adheres to the constitution (unlike Newt who sees the US Constitution as an impediment to globalism) and who wants America to remove herself from foreign entanglements (unlike Newt who thinks that more foreign wars are a matter of course), how on earth can you sacrifice your every principle and support a man like Newt Gingrich?

Again, Tea Partiers, how in the hell can you vote for Newt Gingrich!? You claim to be proponents and defenders of the Constitution. This makes Newt Gingrich one of your greatest enemies, and an antithesis of everything you stand for. Consider again this statement:

“The American challenge in leading the world is compounded by our Constitution,” he
said. “Under our [constitutional system] – either we’re going to have to
rethink our Constitution, or we’re going to have to rethink our process
of decision-making.” He went on to profess an oxymoronic belief in
“very strong but limited federal government,” and pledged, “I am for the
United Nations.” That is certainly no surprise since his mentor is none
other than former Secretary of State and National Security Advisor
Henry Kissinger (also a CFR member and one-world internationalist).

Long ago, Murray Rothbard, who was/is a libertarian icon, pointed out the fact that both Ronald Reagan and Newt Gingrich were not quite the free-market libertarians that they projected themselves to be.

For example, Rothbard merely pointed out the following truth: “When Ronald Reagan highlighted a quote from Franklin D. Roosevelt in his acceptance speech at the 1980 Republican convention, it seemed like a clever tactical ploy to gain the votes of blue-collar workers with long memories. But it has since become clear that this was a mark of genuine devotion, and that FDR truly serves as a presidential model for Reagan.” A good example of how Reagan was not really a libertarian is that it was he who began the sovereign-debt bubble which true libertarians like Ludwig von Mises predicted would turn into a can-kicking contest. Hence, the 1980′s is when the welfare-warfare state really started to fund itself, big time: The Fed debt rose from $900 billion to $2.8 trillion under Reagan which was the largest increase in history! Let the can kicking begin! But, hey, it costs money to build the worlds largest army/empire and start the greatest crack-up boom and bust economy since the Roman empire. Well, shoot, cowboy, did you expect Reagan was really going to end the welfare-warfare state when he started out by quoting FDR? Ditto with Newt….. Newt is another champion can kicker; however, “Houston there is a problem:” Newt and the rest of the champion can kickers are running out of road. Fast forward from the 80′s to today: The Federal Budget Deficit is over 15 trillion and heading for 16, 17, 18….. and the unfunded liabilities—e.g. SSI— are conservatively estimated at at least 62 trillion and maybe somewhere over 110 trillion. Currently, the Baby-boomers are reaching retirement age at the rate of 10,000 per day for the next two decades. Yes, even the dimly-aware among the Republican party are soon going to have to admit that Rothbard was right, Ludwig von Mises was right, F.A. Hayek was right, Ron Paul was right and now, Glenn Beck is just starting to get it right, too. If you want to read Rothbards thoughts on Newt, then start here: http://lewrockwell.com/rothbard/rothbard280.html Hey Glenn! The way you are talking you are sounding more and more like a libertarian–at least a fiscal libertarian. I think you just don’t know who you really are, yet. I have got News for you: Newt is a can kicker and so was Reagan. That’s why Ron Paul almost quit the Republican party, because he is not a can kicker. Ron Paul was/is a true-blue libertarian. The Republican Party absent Ron Paul and a handful of others is part and parcel of the left-right paradigm. The principles of classical libertarianism are the road out of that paradigm.

I think your wrong on this one Glenn.  The only candidate I see in this group that can
succeed in turning this country around is Newt Gringrich – he has a proven record of
“fixing” these same problems – only to have it all undone by the Democrats later!!!
I know he has “garbage” in his background – however he admits his personal mistakes and I
think all of us believe in forgiveness – and none of us are “perfect”.  I also believe he is the
only one who can take Obama down. 

“Anti-interventionism (smeared as “isolationism”) is at the heart of the Old [Gingrich] Right…………..on the domestic front: The libertarian Old Right was born in opposition to Franklin D. Roosevelt and his New Deal. Yet Gingrich has repeatedly emphasized his devotion to FDR (“the greatest figure of the 20th century”), to his statist political program (“the truth is we would have voted for much of it”), and to his legacy (“He did bring us out of the Depression”). Accepting as truth the most damaging anti-capitalist cliche of the century, Gingrich reveals his ignorance of history as well as of economics.” Murray Rothbard.

You Gingrichians can try and spin and soften the truth, but the record is plain on your man, Newt. Moreover, there are too many critical thinkers out here who have exposed Newt Romney and the all those who belong to “the frugal-socialist wing of the Republican party.”

If I cared to take the time, I could decimate your talking-points spin; however, Glenn Beck has and will save me the trouble by reveling the current facts.

Mr. Luftschein,

Great response. Nice to have a point by point deep dive explanation rather than ignoring the points and branding Newt with the Progressive label.

I would love to vote for someone ideologically pure, but the options I have are the only ones available when I go to vote.

If Glenn wishes to have someone that passes his non-progressive purity test then he should throw his hat into the ring. I would support him doing that. Otherwise, stop trying to be a king maker and just present the facts so that we can make the most informed decision when we vote for those that ARE on the ballot.

If America does
not get back to the intent of the Constitution, politicians from BOTH parties
will destroy us with unauthorized spending. The Founding Fathers laid out
eighteen areas our FEDERAL government could be involved. This is it folks! If
it is not listed here our government cannot be involved or waste our tax
dollars on. I do not see light bulbs here, do you?

THAT’S IT FOLKS…this is all the federal government can be involved!

… AND has promised to abolish the 9th Circuit Court which routinely undermines the Constitution of the United States.  Gingrich is a proponent of impeaching rogue judges who by court decisions are rewriting the Constitution.

I like Ron Paul and here is way http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5EMBffxDYXE&feature=colike

That is why I call him The Gullible Gingrich…

Uh, at some point one must be REALISTIC. Paul is NOT ELECTABLE. Newt is the LEAST DANGEROUS choice. Obama MUST BE DEFEATED. THAT is the most important thing in our nation’s history. Paul is NOT ELECTABLE, Glenn. Stop poisoning the water. You won’t win this fight.

Listening to Glenn now. Where do I vote for freedom? Where do I vote for Liberty?

This is Glenn’s place, we come here for his research and commentary. There are other places that can give you what you ask for, kinda…

progressives exist on both sides of the aisle..100% correct. Newt has been exposed time and time again to vote for whomever sends him a check first and flip flopped on global climate issues not only once but twice within a 24 hour period. The good ol boys network is bust and their childish sandbox games have come to an end. if we do not resolve the issues at hand it would be safe to say we the people would be far better off without any of these professional conartist interluding into any of our lives.

How many has he removed so far?

How many has he removed since he said that?

OWS is going to be what the people make it. I hope we can focus on things that will help all 7 Billion Humans, flying through space on Beautiful Mother Earth.

Since we need sound money, which we have never had, lets gt out of the Fed. The best way I’ve hard to do that, is to follow what North Dakota has been doing fine with for 90 years, with its State Bank. Other States are studying how to do it.

If we don’t fix Healthcare, the price will double in 10 years, probably with less care. Vermont’s and Montana’s Single Payer could very well be worth other States checking out.

And need we mention that ending the wars is a must. Why the hell not close all over seas Military Bases, and put the Vets, and others to work rebuilding this Broken Promised Land?

But on other thing: Communities should study how to set up the Worker Ownership of the Mondragon Cooperative, of the Basque in Spain. There is an Evergreen Cooperative in Cleveland, and Richmond California, is putting people to work by starting smaller Cooperatives. Its a better way to work. Don’t we all want that?

OK, Gingrich is wrong about a lot of things; but Ron Paul running 3rd party, Glenn – Are you nuts? I have enjoyed your show for a long time, but you just derailed.

Here is the problem, Glenn. You have said that men can govern themselves, I suggest that, at this time, most can not. They don’t even want to. They want someone to take care of them. It is the Overton Window all over again, this time shifting to the sane side of things. We are so far gone that it will take time to get solid conservative principles back into the window. Unfortunately, we don’t have that time, do we?

 What will happen: Obama will be reelected, we will crash and burn. THEN we will reset, hopefully with more conservative principles. 

C’mon, Glenn…..of course Newt is a business man….look how much he scammed, oh, ‘earned’ working with Fanny & Freddie!  ;)

Santorum is articulating truth and is truly a conservative. He is not beholding to any ideology and that alone makes him the one to vote for!

Why are so many people “threatened” by information.  And even information that is the own man in his own words saying what he said – the denial is astounding.  When you see with your eyes, and hear with your ears and pretend that neither happened, it’s not Glenn that is the problem for providing you with the information.  

Seriously?!  

Great response. I can’t see voting for Ron Paul in ANY circumstance. His foreign policy, or lack of it, makes him the least desirable candidate. Glenn is so focused on Progessivism that he’s fumbled the ball here. Ron Paul is dangerous.

LOL… surely that is not a serious question, KarenLynnStaffordAntley.  Gingrich no longer holds office, therefore is presently unable to impeach anyone.

The support is coming because Newt has detailed solutions. A Plan.(That is why Cain had support as well)  Newt shows strength ,and he doesn’t get his strength through attacking his opponents. 
NowWe All Need a candadite that has all of that together with moral integrity, which will be real helpful in debate and defeat of Barrak.  We absoulutely, for change, need a Holy Spirit Led candadite to turn  the WH back to God.  We desparately need Our Nation Under God, not evil. 
 
The answer can only be the other GOP hopefuls ….need desparatly to articulate their positions, with the ability and discernment of Revealing Plans and Details, when and where appropriate…to move their campaign forward and take this country back.  Yes, back…remember we are a nation at war…think about it, seriously.
.  We have Godly people in the race, their act is weak. 
Please hear me, this is not an attack,…You only have this shot, we,  All of us, are only with this shot…after this election, after every moment, the direction of this country changes. 
No Pressure….Get this right….Pray.

thank you glenn for speaking out what many of us already know.  we have called these wolves in gop clothing rinos.  so many of these comments sound as if they have never heard the term.  being from iowa and related to many farmers, this whole ethanol thing is a joke.  all it does is raise the price of dang near everything we eat.  anyone who doubts this just look in your own kitchen at the labels.  you would be hard pressed to find many items that do not have a corn product in them.  keep speaking the truth, glenn.  i am a ron paul supporter as i see him as the only one that has a different message than obama.

Just so I get this right… You follow GB enough to come over to this website and watch his video’s. There is an obvious sense of trust there. THEN, when Beck calls out some one (who he called out two years prior at CPAC) you finally support because Cain is gone you decide that he must be wrong because you want to back some one, anyone who will bring down Obama.

The issue is not with Gingrich’s personal failings in life, it has everything to do with his Pro Big Government stances which will not turn our nation around. C’mon man… we are all not this desperate that we are compromising our values are we?

Bachmann and Santorum…

Government isn’t there to fix problems, they are there to protect individual rights. Gingrich publicly supported tarp, is for amnesty, has no plan to actually cut spending, and and believes in the health care mandate. So how is he different from obama?

So, he can’t give his opinion? Sheesh.

Yes, and I was supporting it. He can go anywhere he wants that issues the type of information he was requesting. He didn’t want Glenn’s opinion, on his own website. I think you hit the wrong button…
You can go to the side of my banner and hit the little minus sign and I disappear for you, if you don’t want my opinion, I call it the Troll button…

I will never listen to you again Glenn.  I have already stopped my subscriptions.  I believed in you and still do in some respect.  But now you are going too far.

As far as I AM CONCERNED we should all be standing behind ANY REPUBLICAN that could beat Obama.  All this tearing down of each person who is running just because he may not be a true “tea party” person is wrong!!!  I belong to the Tea Party I support ANYONE who has the guts to run for President in this scary time period!! 

I feel better about Newt than I do Romney.  I like the others but even you can see they will not make it.  They don’t have the support.  Newt is better qualified than anyone who is running at this time.  If our Republican party doesn’t get together, then you are just asking for Obama for another 4 years!

PLEASE STOP THE NEGATIVE C R A P

Glenn – I have canceled my subscription to you.  I am so disgusted that you of all people would put down our Republican candidates.  No one is perfect.  But at this time in our history, ANYONE would be better than Obama.  You of all people should agree with that.  But no… you need to pull up stuff that Newt has already explained.  Do you want Romney to win?  Talk about progressive!  I’m not happy with everyone running against Obama, but any of them would be better than what we have.

If you and people like Savage, etc won’t stop, you will be responsible for another 4 years with Obama.  How many listeners will you have then?

I have been a fan of yours since you left CNN to go to FOX.  But you have gone too far my friend.

I know, I’m over fifty. I remember him, well. He has nothing to offer.

And another thing Glenn — yes we want a conservative.  Yes Michelle and Santorim are conservative.  But they don’t have the votes!!  They don’t have the backing!!  They cannot get their numbers up.  If they do, great.  We will vote for them.  But for now, AGAIN  -  Anyone is better than Obama.  You need to help, not hurt this race.

She has my vote, even if the RNC makes me write it in.

I thought the heading for the last video clip was Glenn laying out a solution?  If Newt is so bad then what is your solution Glenn?  Elect your shoe?  Is your shoe even running for President?  You don’t mind telling us who is so bad (in your opinion) but you don’t tell us who is so good (in your opinion).  If you are going to tell people who we shouldn’t vote for, then shouldn’t you in turn tell the people who we should vote for?  We have to vote for a nominee…someone who has decided they want to run for the office of President of the United States.  Of all the people in the country only a select few have decided they want to tackle that burden.  Of that select few, the people have to choose one of those to represent them.  Is Newt perfect?  No.  Does Newt have his faults and shortcomings?  Yes.  Is he better than Obama?  I think yes.  Do I agree with you that anyone who runs against Obama has a very good chance of winning?  Yes.  But look at the remaning candidates…For whatever reason, the people have decided (as of right now anyway) that they do not want Bachman or Santorum.  Paul has a small following but not enough to get him elected (and I don’t think he is a very good candidate either with his isolationism attitude).  Romney, while a pretty man, is not gaining any ground in his election bid.  So once again I ask…what is your solution Glenn?  If Newt is not our guy then who is?  I, for one, like Newt and while I understand that he is not a perfect candidate, he is certainly better than Obama. Should “better then Obama” be our only criteria for a President?  Probably not but it should be one of the criteria and I think Newt IS better than Obama plus he has several other good qualities that would be of help to our country.

Newt Gingrich is the biggest target we could possibly put down range.
Liberals will tear him apart.
Besides, do we need another progressive/moderate Republican?
Where will that get us.
More debt and more wars is not where America need to go.

Mr Beck, the best boss I ever had, had these great sayings that have stayed with me for going on 20 years. For example, “everything has its place, and everything in its place.” and “if you don’t have time to do something right, when will you have time to do it over?” and “There are three ways to do something, the right way, the wrong way, and the Holloway.” his name was Master Seargent David Holloway. But the saying that applies to the issue at hand is, “if you bring me a problem without a solution, you are only whining.” So, QUIT WHINING ABOUT NEWT GINGRICH…, unless you have a solution…, and if you do have a solution, put your money where you mouth is and ENDORSE SOMEONE!!!

I’m over fifty too… and that’s your opinion.  I break from Glenn on this… and trust me, I have stood up for Beck more times that I can count.  He’s wrong on this one and no matter how much he tries to spin calling those of us in the Tea Party who disagree with him on Gingrich, racists… I heard him IN CONTEXT say it twice.  You see… I actually subscribe to GBTV and watch him in the morning and at night, so OBVIOUSLY I have supported Beck… but, MY support is not blind and will be revoked if he thinks he can manipulate me into backing HIS candidates by inferring my decisions MUST be racially based!

I agree. I’ve been to one to many 912 meetings where the membership has lost any sense of reality. All they seem able to do is dig up all the reasons why they won’t vote for any of the GOP front runners because they are not conservative enough. Success in 2010 taking back the House has made many a bit delusional. Independents are unlikely to vote for a Cain, Bachman and will never consider Ron Paul.

If Beck keeps on this same track I think I will be parting company with him after many years. So this is also for the KarenLynn’s on site. This is for discussion and opinion. Live with it.

13Krieger / Allen…

Allen,

You asked Glenn this, but it is not correct -”Since Rick Santorum follows
“Newt’s idea of Conservatisim does that mean you are calling
“Rick Santorum a Progressive??????

- – - – - – - – -

Santorum
said.

Here is the ABC debate, now on YouTube – 1hr. 31min. -

Rick Santorum at 37min. 31sec. -

“This is not about what you say at a debate, or what you say in a campaign when
you’re talking to audiences that you want to get, that you know what they want
to hear.

“Back in 1994 Newt, I was running for the United States Senate and I did not
support an individual mandate, and I was a Conservative.

“I supported something called medical savings accounts that I drafted with John
Kasich when I was in the House, because I believe in bottom up solving the
problems in America, not top down government solutions.

“That’s what I learned, I actually learned it, some of it, in listening to some
of your GoPac tapes, but you strayed on that issue, as you have on other
issues.

“The record is important.

“The question was about a consistent Conservative.

“Well, you can’t talk about whether someone’s consistent unless you look at
their record.

- – - – - – - -

Santorum in NOT a “conservative progressive” or even a “progressive conservative” as Gingrich is.

Pat said on the Glenn Beck radio program this morning, 12-13-2011, that there is no such thing, after the first caller, Lisa, used the term.

Well, as you know Allen, I have been using it on TheRightScoop.com for weeks…
… so, Pat, it does exist, I invented it, I think, ’cause I’ve never heard anybody else write it or say it, before Lisa said it on live radio this morning.
It’s like the question about the glass half filled with water.

Is it half full or half empty?

Well.

If it is being filled, it is half full.
If it is being emptied, it is half empty.

So.

It depends on the direction of political movement.

Sometimes it seems that Newt is a “conservative progressive” and is
moving towards, is open to accepting “conservative” ideas.

Sometimes it seems that Newt is a “progressive conservative” and is
moving towards, is open to accepting “progressive” ideas.

Simple.

Maybe THAT is the evolution we are seeing.
Maybe THAT is the Gingrich political evolution.

Whatever is happening, it is co-opting, Michele Bachmann’s term on Glenn’s radio program yesterday, the nebulous TEA Party right before our eyes
and is dividing the common sense Conservatives and the influence in the
nebulous TEA Party of anti-BIG Gov warriors such as Sarah Palin.

Read the book “Creating A New Civilization” by Alvin & Heidi Toffler, forward by Newt Gingrich.  A bit from the book…As economies are transformed by the Third Wave, they are compelled to surrender part of their sovereignty…Poets and intellectual of Third Wave states sing the virtues of a “borderless” world and “planetary conscientiousness,”….. The Constitution of the United States needs to be reconsidered and altered…to create a whole new structure of government…Building a Third Wave civilization on the wreckage of Second Wave institutions involves the design of new, more appropriate political structures…The system that served us so well must, in its turn, die and be replaced.
 Newt strongly endorsed this book.  Newt isn’t my man!!

Glenn
Your behaving like an addict, or in your case a dry drunk.

I understand your support of Bachman, I understand your dislike of Gingrich, but to say you would vote for a third party, and your crusade to destroy everyone in the race that doesn’t meet your level on the political holy grail, is destructive to the nation.

There are no constitutionalists in the race, get over it. The voters will decide who the nominee is. NOT YOU, stop striking out with the venom you have been spewing. The end result will be another 4 years of Obama.

I ask you an honest question, when was your last meeting? When was your last inventory? Time to do one and share it with a member of the community that is not on your payroll.

remember some of us are sicker than others

Glenn, what were you doing 10-15 years ago?

Newt has
not got his name on the primary ballots in Ohio and a couple of other states so
he cannot receive delegates from those states. If he doesn’t get his campaign
together than all of this is moot.

Nothing flip-flops more than Newt!!! He is the most UN-American canidate the GOP has….Romney is a very close second!!!

Why don’t you all just forget Newt and vote for Ron Paul. Simple. Done. The country can be restored and he is the only hope. RON PAUL 2012!!!!!!!!

Ok Glen you have my attention. Now line out each candidate as you did Newt. Give us the magic ball reading. Are you willing to put your reputation on the line to sponsor a candidate and why? I am on the line and am open to wise council.

 Gotta agree that Newt is the better option at this time. I would vote for Ron Paul in an instant, but all that would do is split the vote and give Karl Marx Jr another term to kill this country. Its just to vital that we kick Obama to the curb in a sound beating at the poles to risk a 3rd party candidate. I will vote for Paul in the primary tho and hope he wins.

Gingrich is for sending illegals here less than 25 years out and to the back of the line to get back in. Try to keep the facts straight. Hes not perfect, but he can prob get things turned around easier than Paul.

After seeing these videos, I see only one alternative: Sarah Palin! We should not let the left or
the establishment tell us of her negatives.  She should have been a candidate all along. Its time for Sarah Palin for President!

Really DusTy201? Did you even listen to what Glenn said. Either we stay true to our values or we lose the fight (and our souls). Your kind of thinking is how we ended up with Bob Dole and John McCain. Well I for one am NOT going to hold my nose and pull the lever. I may go down but at least I’ll go down swinging. And, I’ll be able to look at myself in the mirror.

glenn, i would like to see each of the candidates in all of our nations high post. but to tell the truth, it is the same old boys club. most americans only think  1, 3,4 or so years. in reality they should be thinking from 1900 to present. in the 1900s corrupt business and our corrupt elected formed what i call the american kingship. they control the white house and the state houses. most citizens do not realize nor believe that this nation has been sold out, bought out and given over to other nations. people cry about unemployment. why did they not ( american citizens ) cry when factorys, plants and manufacturing started leaving our towns? when in the 70s saudi turned off the faucet, where were the tears then? yet we continued to elect the same treasonist  people back into office. the worst thing most amerians fail to see, is this nation of freedom can become a page in the book of history ( the rest of the world would rejoice ). either we get a new bag of flour and start from scratch or what happens to this nation we deserve. Jesus and america were two great gifts to man from God. citizens we are screwing up the later. we the people should take back our elections. citizens recall ROME and its senate? there is nothing new under the sun. hope to here back from you glenn on this thought. just a free black man down here in the hills.

The difference between Romney and Gingrich is that Romney is not a career politician, is not a small minded, big headed, nasty man and is not a serial adulterer! Oh, and he has better hair, too!

I agree. The most electable candidate and the most true to the Tea Party ideals and the best candidate to turn around this economy are all the same man: Dr. Ron Paul

Unlike Newt and Mitt, Dr. Ron Paul attracts more votes not by being a wishy-washy muddled centrist, but by being true to Constitutional principles and calling for a $1 trillion cut in federal spending the first year, and a sound currency which cannot be exploited by the elites. These are big, important issues which will bring out voters in droves to unseat Obama – a feat which the centrists cannot ever accomplish.

Glenn Beck slobbering all over Rick Santorum today. Funny how he doesn’t
think these wars are a results of the progressive he says he hates. His
two picks for president are entirely based on his religious views. His
main concern is the security of Israel not the Security of the United
States. He would spend any amount of money to defend Israel.

I’m not a fan of Gingrich, so sell me on him. Why is it that you think he’s the best candidate? Do you have specifics on why you think he’ll turn this country around? I’m honestly not being sarcastic here, I’d really love to know your opinions because I’m baffled that he’s in first and have yet to hear any details on why besides Cain dropping out.

I like you Glenn, but you are being counter-productive here.  Newt is the smartest guy in any room he walks into.  I don’t care about his “baggage” because at least I know what it is.  Unlike the current president who we know nothing about.  But Glenn, really, you’d vote for Ron Paul if he ran as a third candidate?  Did you forget about Ross Perot back in ’92? That’s how we got Clinton. Why do you have to get into the mix?  Are you going to offer $1M to Newt to withdraw from the campaign like Michael Savage has?  Glenn, you are becoming part of the problem just like the rest of the media.  Let US, the American people, decide who is going to replace the current clown-in-chief.  You just make sure that there is no cheating behind the scenes.  Thank you Mr. Beck.

Newt has the experience to know how to get things done.  His past “failures” he acknowledges … and his “perserverance” will hopefully get him “Success”.  He is a clear thinker, has studied the problems and has solutions which he, not only can clearly communicate, but will also implement…. unlike our current president who promised all the great changes, but hasn’t fulfilled the expectations of his constituency.  Newt won’t be bowing down to our enemies.  He understands the desires of our founding fathers who understood our leadership’s primary role is to “protect and defend the constitution”.  Protect our borders #1 from our enemies.  Then make us independent by developing our energy resources so that our dollars can be used for further our interest vs. those who would do us harm.  Remove restrictive government regulations that are anti-business.  Establish a reasonable budget within which we can live.  Create opportunities for education and jobs.  This is not an entitlement program however.  No student needs to be just a full-time student. 

Bravo, Glenn! Btw, please, someone on Glenn’s staff…watch this vid…THIS is what can take him down..
 
His affiliation and history with Alvin Toffler.  Help us expose the Newt World Order…
 
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=moFsABsJNL4

And you are part of the problem. Screw principals and freedom let’s just get an (R) in the White House. Who cares what he really stands for? Honestly the man has changed sides so many times no one can really know. Glenn is going off of his voting record, not his statements and is bang on in what he says. This is why I am pretty much done with Repubs, you are no different then Dems. This is not a football game, it is our future.

Great argument, Obama is very intelligent too and look what that got us.  Newt is so intelligent that he supported global warming, took money from Freddie Mac made millions on Obamacare.  No question the guy is smart, he’s not conservative though.  If he can’t keep a marriage vow, how can you trust him to keep an Oath to the Constitution? The only wasted vote, is the one that doesn’t share your views or values.

I agree, Glenn should trust the Bible when God vows to protect his people.  Israel doesn’t need the U.S. to protect her.

Very interesting watching GOP voters convince themselves that Newt is their guy. Sacrificing principles and values just to win the White House so we can find ourselves in the same position 4 more years from now.

i love glens ideas i have been watching the contest closely, the question i have is why does he not like ron paul  i have never been a supporter but lately he seems to hit the nail on the head for small government  the more i see the more i like  i also like micheele bachman but she does not give me the answers in need to here like how she is going to change washington

I am so sick of people who select their candidate based on “who can beat Obama” or “the lesser of two evils”. When are CONSERVATIVES going to grow a pair of balls and vote for the person who best represents their principles? Newt is just more status quo establishment. If you think anything will change in a Gingrich administration you are delusional – it will be Obama II (which is just Bush II). I’ll write in Dr. Paul if I have to because he’s the only one that even comes close to following the constitution. I have a pair and refuse to be labeled a spoiler.

The lesser of two evils is still evil.

I have always voted GOP but if Newt Gingrich is the GOP choice  I will do my best to get obama another 4 years to complete bring down America. The American people are to lazy and stupid to have a free country if they allow Gingrich to run. He is just another obama with lighter skin.
A trader and liar and should have been tried for fraud and treason years ago.
Americans have lost all brain’s they had if any!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

He doesn’t believe anything of the sort Gustav. Have you actually read Gingrich’s plan? http://www.newt.org/solutions/immigration

“While this process is ongoing, those here outside the law will be granted Temporary Legal Status for a certain, limited period of time until all have had the opportunity to apply and appear in front of committees.”

How aboout some clarification of your “racist” analysis on Judge Napolitano’s program? Or maybe saying something about Breitbart’s point of view?  We’re waiting.

Did you even watch the videos? You clearly didn’t understand them.

1) Sitting with Nancy Pelosi and saying that we have to do something about global warming is damning enough. The reason Gingrich hadn’t proposed anything in government is because when global warming became an issue, he was no longer IN government! Your attempt at a refutation based on this fact is absurd.
2) To your second point, the Heritage Foundation is a huge government war propaganda machine. It’s funded primarily by the Koch brothers. Need I say more?
3) So you agree Glenn’s right on this.
4) You just don’t GET IT and you don’t even have the basic facts right. The Fairness Doctrine originated in 1949 and had nothing to do with conservatism vs. liberalism. The government saying who should get air time is as foreign to the founders’ principles as just about anything. THAT’s the point. It’s about PRINCIPLE. What is the role of government?
5) Anything that does not completely remove the Federal government from education is a half-measure and leaves the PROGRESSIVE system in place.
6) Check politifact on this. You’re wrong. It was a total flip-flop.
7) You fix the immigration system by removing the benefits that bring people here illegally – free welfare, free education, and eventual amnesty. You totally missed the point. You remove those things, they’ll leave on their own accord. There’s no need to round up millions of people. Oh, increasing government bureaucracy is not “creating” anything. That’s ridiculous.

Your responses miss the point entirely. This is about the proper role of government. You seem to think that so long as it is done right, government control of every aspect of our lives is acceptable.  Wrong, big time.

It sounds like Glenn supports and promotes all of the issues that Ron Paul has been fighting for consistently over his entire political career. Ron Paul is the only candidate who is not part of the left/right, liberal/conservative, Democrat/Republican, progressive agenda. Ron Paul has consistently and dutifully voted in congress based on his constitutional beliefs. It astounds me that there is any question as to who should be the next president. If Americans were truthfully informed, Ron Paul would take 90% of the votes in the general election. Glenn should know better than any of us that all of the candidates on both sides of the aisle, other than Dr. Paul, are there to lie to us and make us believe that if we just keep doing the same insane things “everything is going to be okay.” Wake up, people! Wake up and fight for the Constitution just during this next year’s election cycle as hard as Ron Paul has been fighting for the past few decades. It is up to us to make the necessary changes, and it all hinges on a Ron Paul presidency.

Glenn is right, but the sheeple are so used to believing everything fed to them by the political punditry that they make excuses for Newt’s obvious progressive agenda.

Huh?  How can he “turn things around easier” if he’s still steering the ship in the same general direction: OVER THE WATERFALL!

Vote Ron Paul if you actually want to turn this ship around.

Just because something is supported by a “CONSERVATIVE” think tank does not mean it isn’t a progressive idea. I think that is kind of the point Glenn is making, also simply saying “PRIVATIZE” doesn’t pass muster either. You are making a classic fallacy of equating politics with ideals, and philosophy. If someone says they are conservative, and then spits out an idea it must be conservative. Ask yourself some very hard questions like, “How much individual liberty does this destroy, and is it really worth that?” You really don’t know what Newt’s position is because he is a career panderer and right now he is pandering to the Tea Party. He will simply change his path as he sees fit, and  do whatever takes to get power and keep it. That is his character and that is his record.

     I will take a few things to task here as well.

1. While it is true he hasn’t proposed anything himself here is part of a PBS interview.

Interviewer:
In 2000, candidate George Bush pledged mandatory
carbon caps; it was a campaign pledge. What did you think of it at the
time? Were you for that?
Newt:

I think if you have mandatory carbon caps combined with a trading
system, much like we did with sulfur, and if you have a tax-incentive
program for investing in the solutions, that there’s a package there
that’s very, very good. And frankly, it’s something I would strongly
support.

https://www.google.com/search?q=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.thenewamerican.com%2Findex.php%2Freviews%2Fbooks%2F6323-newts-contract-with-the-earth-offers-pseudo-science-big-government-and-earth-worship&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&aq=t&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&client=firefox-a

2. Your are making the political/philosophical fallacy here, and mixing timelines. Newt’s comments on the individual mandate are much more current than Hillarycare.

http://nation.foxnews.com/newt-gingrich/2011/05/15/newt-shocks-conservatives

3. At least we can agree on that.

4. Again, no matter who though it up curtailing free speech is not a truly conservative idea, and this was not the only time Old Newt supported it.

http://www.nysun.com/national/gingrich-free-speech-should-be-curtailed-to-fight/44302/

5. I will yield that this is what he says, but again…eh

6.UHM… saying something is too radical and saying it goes to far very much sounds like opposition. It was interpreted as opposition and Newt let that stand. I’d say he meant it as clear opposition, no matter how we split hairs here.

7. I agree with your statement here about the impracticality of mass round ups, but again throwing the word “PRIVATIZE” in an argument does not make a win here. And who would pay this private company, the immigrants? No, the govt. That is not privatization that is crony capitalism. Tax money being paid out with no wealth creation,and how many do you think would show up to pay taxes? It would also lead to unelected people being in charge of national policy, which is VERY progressive. Your last statement is patently false. I will only say that if you want to see the progressive response to illegal immigration look no further than the home of San Fran Nan. 

8. It was a new federal department, plain and simple, and the way it was structured was ripe for abuse. He then later voted for the largest increase in history.

http://clerk.house.gov/evs/1996/roll135.xml
 So his current statements again clash with his past actions, and honestly these aren’t even the important parts.

The truth is that Romney is the most similar to Obama among all the candidates.  Why people want to ignore that fact and focus on Newt bashing is unacceptable. 

Newt is not fearful of answering any questions straight up as he doesn’t hide behind a facade of his true positions and background.  Romney runs from interviews while Newt meets challenges like the Beck interview head on.  The point is to differentiate candidates.  And when you refuse to critique Romney with Newt on issues such as individual mandate, then you know you are just an establishment character that is rooting for Romney to be the nominee, just like Obama. 

I think your 100% right. I only have one guy in mind for the job at this time and that is Paul.

It’s becoming clear why Glenn and FNC parted ways.  Glenn has become obsessive, a zealot against Progressivism.  Unfortunately his obsession has become irrational.  He seems to view Newt Gingrich and everyone he deems Progressive as evil incarnate.

I can’t square this with his other efforts including Restoring Love and bringing this nation together.  Instead of persuading he’s alienating.  37% of Americans are moderate.  While 42% are conservative center-right independents are included in that number.  I doubt that the numbers for dogmatic right wing and libertarian conservatives would poll much higher than self-described liberals at 21%.  

In essence he’s washing his hands, and is dismissive, of the 58% of Americans who aren’t liberal, or right wing, as uninformed and not worthy of our American legacy.  His anger is verging on hatred.

Independents will never vote for Paul? You do realize that a majority of the independents in Iowa are supporting Paul right? And that he is in close second and has a very real shot of winning? What you call “Losing a sense of reality” I call “Taking a Stand”. If America puts up a president who is a progressive, even if he is far less of a progressive than Obama, it will not be good enough. We need to press forward and get America back on track now!

Sorry Glenn.  I never missed your TV show and I read your books.  I firmly believe that Newt can and will take Obama out.  I’ll take his baggage in exchange for his knowledge of history and his love of this country. 
If not Newt, WHO?

I have to say this kind of “hatred” you are describing has only been seen on two people:  Newt Gingrich and Donald Trump.  The candidates that establishment is rooting for are Romney and Obama.

Folks, if we settle for someone simply because “they can beat Obama”, or because “anybody is better than Obama”, odds are we will simply elect ‘Obama lite’.

Pay attention to what Glenn is saying about the candidates – the top candidates (as pushed by the MSM) have a proven track record on the issues, and in spite of some positives on the conservative side, they are staunch progressives. In that regard ‘anybody’ is NOT better than Obama. If we elect a Republican just because they are GOP, what we will see is the masses, now angry at what’s going on in our country, sitting back to relax once they see a Republican in the White House – “It’s all over gang…back to life as we once knew it!” Huge mistake! People will stop paying attention to what’s happening in DC and go back to watching football and Teen Mom. Meanwhile, it’s business as usual on the beltway, continuing the path that we’ve been on for many, many years. Certainly, neither Mitt nor Newt will move at the pace that Obama has set, but make no mistake, they won’t change course either.

If we want the course to change, we need to focus on electing a person who will make that change, not a sell-out to the established policies and practices that have gotten us where we are today.

Breitbart has acurately pegged Glenn Beck as a snake and a liar and he ought to know since he’s in the business and knows him.

Yeah Go Newt — http://youtu.be/hRdqGKA782A

Yeah — Go Newt http://youtu.be/hRdqGKA782A

So… Being intelligent is the equivalent of being correct? Moral? Ethical? Having integrity? How about just in alignment with what I believe? I’m a pretty smart guy, but I can’t say for sure how my smarts stack up against Gingrich’s. I do know that I don’t agree with the policies he has supported and his ideas about the roles of government in terms of controlling various aspects of the economy, social welfare, cultural influences, and the behavior of the citizenry of this country. So, instead of me adhering to the advocacy of individual liberty I should just allow “the smartest guy in the room” to dictate every aspect of my and my fellow citizens’ lives?

Hypothetically speaking, let’s just say we gave Gingrich absolute power. He’s the smartest guy in the room and we’ll ignore how that is not the equivalent of being correct, moral, etc… What happens when he’s gone? Do we just take the next smartest guy in the room and hand him the absolute monarchy?

Oh wait. You probably think I’m being a bit over-the-top. Not really. I’m just following your logic. Gingrich supports the position that the good guys in government should be allowed to do what is good for everybody, and to do so it’s ok for them to assume as much power for the federal government as is necessary to get the job done. This is in direct contrast to our Constitution which mandates limitations on government to avoid government limiting the individual liberty of citizens.

Anyway, by your logic, we should just give up any ideals we have and let the smartest guy in the room rule without question. I’m just wondering, if Obama tested smarter than Gingrich, would you support Obama then? Or maybe we should just put Stephen Hawking in charge? Or Bill Gates? To hell with individual liberty. Just hand the keys to the kingdom over to the smart guy, right?

He is against closing Gitmo? That should be reason enough to not vote for him. Gitmo is an illegal facility. Our military functions as a secret police able to round people up, remove them from their homes and stick them in a prision for the rest of their lives. This is an outrage, and no real “conservative” should stand for this loss of liberty. Remove the leash from the CIA? The actions of the CIA and the Military are the reason things are going to hell and back in the Middle East right now. We ‘intervened’ and things got worse. Imagine that. Hell, the DoD admits that it is because of blowback from CIA and Military ops that caused 9/11 to happen in the first place. We are in the mess that we are in because of the CIA and the military complex. We need to rail those in, make them start to work for US again, and secure our freaking borders before we begin to try and hunt down every boogeyman that may be in existence in the middle east.  

Of course Glenneth is wrong.  Gingrich was a hard working conservative back when Glenneth was running around wasted with a bag of weed in his purse and a ponytail flapping around behind his head.  Now Beck has been outed by Breitbart and that even erodes his credibility more.  Game over for the Glenneth.

Numerous polls disagree with you, Isabella.  Paul is infact strong with independents with many polls indicating independents favor Paul over Obama and Romney. 
Many people are looking for an alternative solution to this right, left crap that has been going for decades and taken down the country.  Where do you think the mantra of small government, end the fed, etc…came from?  The original tea partier – Ron Paul. 

War in Iraq, Afghanistan, Libya, Egypt, Yemen, etc… that have specifically helped Islamists over secularists are the great danger to this world.  Those who educate the public on unnecessary wars that give rise to the more evil get branded dangerous. 

Not Electable? Might want to check the polls again buddy. Ron Paul is in 2nd place right now in Iowa. People are shifting over to his points of view. This is a RP2012 year. Its time to join the Revolution or get outta the way. http://americanresearchgroup.com/pres2012/primary/rep/ia/

Yeah, vote for Obama.  He’s done such a great job huh?

Hey moderators – If you haven’t noticed yet, a lot of the anti-Glenn Beck pro-Gingrich posts on here are repeated – more than once. I’ve found several examples in just a few minutes. It might do you some good to read through and delete the repeated comments aka spam.

Oh yeah, another update. You guys might want to check in with the folks that run The Blaze. Right now it seems that The Blaze is down.

Hear it from his own mouth.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_hd23sdf4CENewt Outlines the 21st Century Contract with AmericaI think it is important to remember that we’re going to either get Obama or someone else. There is no guarantees that anyone, Ron Paul included would be any better, or wouldn’t be worse for that matter. It will be what it will be. I think the most important thing that everyone remember, including Glenn, is that the executive branch is only one branch, and in this case would ONLY be a cherry. The sundae filling is going to be keeping the House and rolling the Senate so that we can keep whoever is in the WH in check. 2010 was a stop gap. They were to hold the line until we could get them reinforcements over these next election cycles. Keeping our states in check is also important. This is only one battle, the war is far from over.

Glennis the Menace really dropped his magic drawers when he accused Tea Party members of being racists over their support of Newt.  He’s been getting hammered with backlash according to my source at Mercury One.

Bachmann and Santorum. Paul’s not a conservative, he’s a libertarian.

I don’t understand why Michelle Bachmann isn’t doing better in this race.  Is it because she’s soft spoken, a female or what?  She’s been consistent all along, She’s got what it takes to, I believe, turn this country back on the “straight and narrow” if you will.   I pray this country wakes up and takes a good hard look at her before it’s to late. 

Glenn brings up a great point. Hillary Clinton could beat Barack Obama. If we place our support only in those who who we perceive can win, than she is probably our best candidate. Since when did we detach our morality from our vote. I found it very telling to listen to Newts response the other day in regards to Romney’s days working as a venture capitalist. Regardless of your support for Romney or not, his statement that Romney should be punished for the bankruptcy of those companies they unsuccessfully invested in is not  only not conservative but it is diametrically opposed to conservative thought. He argued that there was some sort of moral equivalency between venture capitalism and his time giving advise to Faddy May and Freddy Mac. Conservatives believe in profit and loss, and through the process, capitalism helps the cream rise and we are made better. Venture capitalism is capitalism, full of the great success and the raw failures. Newt’s “private sector” experience was in no way comparable, because it he couldn’t serve as a “historian” had he never been Speaker. For me to vote for Newt would be to reject some of my most fundamental political beliefs.

Easy.  People know religious nutters can’t win.  Same with Santorum.  In your face bible-thumpers are not popular.

All the anger from the ex=Beck fans must have crashed it.  Beck really soiled his magical underthings when he made that crack about Tea Party members being racists for supporting Newt.  That was the straw that broke the reindeer’s back.

Could it be that the MSM realizes that backing Pres. Obama was a mistake?  For them, Romney is probably the most acceptable Republican candidate.  If he gets the nomination and the MSM treats him fairly it could be a silent admission that they were wrong in their assessment of Obama’s intelligence and abilities.

Libertarianism is conservative, it was the original view of the founders.  They referenced “the liberty tree” along with many terms referring to liberty, but I don’t recall a conservative rally cry.

Really? Like throwing Israel under the bus with his whole “i’d consider going third-party if Ron Paul does’? Is that what you mean by not compromising our values? THAT is not only compromising his values, that is throwing out his values. I am ashamed of him for this alone. And for what? So he can go rabid on progressivism? So he can convince himself he is the smartest guy in the room and that we are just a bunch of sheep? He only knows what he knows because of many, many, many! of us. He was going off the wrong track when he made the move to Fox and it took us months to steer him back so that he could truly open his own eyes. We all offered it to him because he had the platform. If anyone is trying to “co-opt” I think Glenn should look in the mirror. People know exactly who Gingrich is. He’s an arrogant sob, but there is no doubt in my mind that he is NOT a Marxist socialist! He is not Teddy Roosevelt; he is not FDR; he is not LBJ; he is not Clinton; and he most definitely is NOT Obama!

People here, including Glenn have not done their own homework. Instead of falling for spin this time y’all fell for “perception management.” Most of the things Beck said are not even true about Gingrich, and most everything is not even in historical context. To quote the author David Baaldacci: “PMs are not spin doctors because they don’t spin facts. They create facts and then sell them to the world as the truth. And that, to quote Mark Twain is … the difference between lightning bugs and lightning…And by using theses methods, a major untruth can be established so quickly and overwhelmingly across the world that no digging by anyone after the fact can make a dent in the public consciousness that it actually isn’t true at all. And that’s precisely what makes it so dangerous.”

And Glenn unfortunately fell for them hook, line, and sinker. He needs to to trust us. We know what we’re doing. He’s acting like a helicopter parent who wants to micro-manage because he’s convinced himself he knows better. We’re big boys and girls, if we get it wrong we will correct it and move on. This is only one battle, the war is far from over.

Oh yeah. And if you want to know where Glenn got a lot of his information about socialism try reading The Socialist Phenomenon by Igor Shafarevich. He’s only considered THE leading authority on the matter, who Glenn fails to mention. I can guarantee you Glenn is not Shafarevich, he only uses his material as his own and then tries to claim he’s the smartest guy in the room on the subject. I’m sorry Glenn, but you need a come to Jesus intervention ASAP. I’m still shocked you’d throw Israel under the bus like you did. The freaking Jewish coalition wouldn’t even invite Paul to the forum last week. Shame on you.

Hopefully most American voters will have their feet in reality and vote for the best candidate of the two, which will be Anyone But Obama.  Standing on principle is standing on thin ice.

Hard working conservative?  I guess Obama is a conservative too, if conservative now means being for things like TARP, individual healthcare mandates, and cap-and-trade.

Gingrich can’t even beat Obama.  Recent polling has him losing to Obama by 10-20% in “red states” like Florida and South Carolina, were he to be the nominee.  Romney manages to lose by only three to five percent.  You want to beat Obama, the only chance is Ron Paul, as he can get the independents.

Diane,

If Gingrich wins and declares martial law and puts U.S. forces in the streets to control us, would that be any better than Obama placing U.N. troops in the streets to control us? I would bet that you believed GW Bush during his campaign when he promised that he was in favor of a more humble foreign policy, smaller government, less spending, and lower taxes. Just like Obama, GW Bush lied to all of us. Newt Gingrich is a Washington insider who has absolutely no intention of keeping any of the promise that he makes during this campaign. Obama didn’t intend on keeping the promises that he made during his campaign. Are you starting to see a pattern? They are all lying to us, and every four years we forget, and for some strange reason we make ourselves believe that this time “our party candidate” is going to be different. I hate to be the one to break this news to you, Diane, but Newt Gingrich won’t be any different. Mitt Romney won’t be any different. Niether of them will be any better than Obama or Bush. If you REALLY want to make a difference in this election, do everything you can to get Ron Paul elected President of the United States of America. Dr. Paul has proven that he can be trusted, and he will fight for your liberty and freedom.

All the best,

Great historical info Reality_Seeker…

Nothing beats historical perspective.

What many today will find surprising about Ronald Reagan, who said that the the reason he became a Republican was because the Democratic party left him, is that Murray Rothbard, Ludwig von Mises and F. A. Hayek were saying the same things about him and Gingrich that Glenn Beck is saying about Gingrich’s “conservative progressive” political heritage, so to speak.

Or, maybe what Gingrich is exhibiting is a new political creature, if not a “conservative progressive,” then maybe a “progressive conservative.”

And for those who say that such a designation does not exist, well, it does now, and eventually in the history books and dictionaries, it might even have a picture of Newt Gingrich associated with it.

It is news to me that Rothbard said, about both Reagan and Gingrich, that they were not the “free-market libertarians” that they claimed to be.

If that is the historical case, and what Beck is saying about Gingrich is accurate, which I think it is, maybe, MAYBE Gingrich could surprise his detractors such as Beck, and turn out to be another leader like, uh, like Pres. Ronald Reagan.

And, maybe not.

He could turn out to be another Theodore Roosevelt… or another “real Politik” Wilsonian, or another 3,000 + executive orders FDRoosevelt.

Hmm…

Only time will tell if Gingrich wins the Republican primary wreath…
… unless Beck is persuasive with the TEA Party people

Finally.

Beck has claimed the Libertarian appellation in the recent past, so he probably would vote for Ron Paul to counter the “progressive conservative” Newt Gingrich.

Only time will tell if a principled stance against the “progressive conservative” Gingrich will result in the reelection of BHObama.

re: “What could Glenn never say on cable news?” -
Apparently, the same thing he won’t say on his own network!!

Beck proclaims, “I’m standing up for what is true.” … what a crock.  Beck is actually causing progressive transformation to thrive!

Beck still refuses to expose Obama’s ILLEGAL OCCUPATION of the White House.  Obama is not a natural born citizen (born of 2 U.S. citizens), as the Constitution requires, and should be removed immediately.  The fact that Beck is covering up this scandal means he is not only untrue to his words, but is actively contributing to the day-by-day destruction of our country by by facilitating this evil Marxist communist to remain in the White House.  Beck is Obama’s lackey!

Glenn, you’re absolutely right that the Progressive GOP is alive and well.  So, I thank you for making the case for Ron Paul, the ONLY candidate that tries understand and emulate George Washington and Thomas Jefferson, reads and understands history, and truly respects the Constitution.

Okay let disseminate these claims one by one in order
1. Newt gingrich has supported climate control regulation. On2/22/1989 he co-sponsered the Global warming prevention act, He supported Bush’s mandatory Carbon Caps proposal in 2007, He suggested in january of this year that flex-fuel vehichles be mandated for americans. His own book  declares hi belief in Global warming and advocated further green policy structure. Your statement that this was a conservative point is mute in that it only verifies what Glenn said that we have been been corrupted as well.
2.Although he did oppose Hillarie’s health care and Obama’s healthcare policies. His support for an individual mandate or VARIATION thereon to quote him. only states that he wants his version of it and not theirs. The argument before the supreme court is that the government  no matter the party cannot force you to purchase a product or service as a condition of citizenship. Incidentally this is one of the reasons we rebelled against Britain.
3.Rather than subsidize for fuel lets pay them to grow food and let ourselves drill for oil. Problem solved. The whole ethanol subsidy scam was even admitted by AL gore this year to be nothing more than a lie.
4.Obviously you do not know the history of the fairness doctrine. The 80′s movement  was to REPEAL the fairness doctrine which had been in place since the FDR administration and had its roots in Wislon’s anti sedition act days . Nice twist. In the late 1980s the early 90′s and again in 2006-07 the Fairness doctrine was RE-INTRODUCED because the Liberals found that when you can’t force people to listen to their point of view they lose. The point of the fairness doctrine has been used by media voices who know they can’t compete in the free market because people reject it. HELLO NPR. The rest of your statement about Newts dropping the support for it is accurate.
5.,8. Newt DID Vote for the DEPT of Education 09/27/1979. Supported No Child Left behind which introduced further government legislation and beauracracy. And even more politics in the schools. Although you are correct about the original intent Why would a CONSERVATIVE who believes education belongs to the states create a federal branch that regulates their function and controls their funding. Especially with Jimmy Carter being the wellspring of it? The devils in the details unfortunately.
6.No contest although Paul Ryans budget which largely contributed into CUT CAP AND BALANCE was the only plan proposed by any governing body that would have avoided the S&P Credit Downgrade. He has flaked on every major budget battle this year.
7. Your statement about Illegal Immigration is a bit extreme. You make the same choice. Ship them all back or make them citizens and although I agree to some extent with Newt on this one your explanation of progressives is only one facet. Let me quote another progressive Ted Kennedy-” The purpose of the Democratic party is to get as many people on government assistance as possible” Reason being control. People who are dependent are less likely to oppose you. The principle flaw of all Marxism is that it destroys the very people it is supposed to help. Whether Union, Labor, Minority, or Illegal Immigrant all become a permanent under class while the elites call all the shots. The poor can complain but that’s all they can do. The strength is in the Middle class, The Bourgeoisie the average citizen whom if you read their writing they despise. 

Stephen,

I love your list.  Newt could use you:) Since you are so good at analysis and research, can you put together a list that is against Romney and somethingelse that compares Newt to Romney?  By far, Romney is the most evil character on the GOP side. 

So, for Glen beck, what are the other options? I hate Newt, and Beck doesnt watn to admit to support of Paul, when he knows he is our only hope to stop progressivism for at least 4 years.

Glenn, Im sorry Bub.. on just about every point you have misrepresented Newts position, anyone can take a snippet of video out of timeline and context.(I’m shocked you have done this because you were a victim of this very thing) His position on Kadafi was “if your in there, hurry and take him out”.. but he would not have gone into war. On Amnesty, he clearly and multiple times stated he would not grant it, he also stated he believed in local solutions not federal.. (whats big govt about this?) He favors ethanol subsidies over foreign subsidies.. (but not as a primary source of fuel) He favored a mandate during hillary care, along with the heritage foundation (you know the ones Rush, Hannity, Levin get advertising money from) Then after, along with the heritage foundation said its an unworkable situation and dropped support for it. Also, Can you please stop saying Newt lobbied.. he did work consulting work for Freddie… a laborer deserves his wages. At best, it was a conflict of interest and probably not a wise move. 

Glenn, you at one time were a Moderate (radio, MSNBC days).. why are you allowed to evolve your views and no one else? Here is fact:
Newt = Balance Budget 
Newt = Stopped Hillary Care
Newt = Fought and did not cave for the Bush Sr. tax increase
Newt = Got Clinton to agree to welfare reform (Who else has this track record??) 
Newt = helped push the Reagan tax cuts through Tip O’Neill’s House

Most importantly this boils down to… can you trust he will do what he says he’ll do. He fought for everything that was in the contract with America.. it cut deficits and taxes. He has a new Contract to offer America and based on history I think he will hold his end of the bargain. 

I recorded all Glenn’s show when he was on Fox and watch almost everyone. Read his books and listened to his radio show. Now I have the plus account here.
How long ago was it that Glen was on skid row? what happened in his life to change that?
What was Glenn’s views at CNN. How has his talk changed over just the past 5 years. What was Glenn saying about Obama when he first started running?  how many times did he reformulate his view on why Obama is how he is? Now he’s comparing Newt with Hitler. YES YOU DID on today’s radio program!  Newt’s not perfect but neither is Glenn. Newt has changed and is changing as is Glenn. But it appears that Glenn may think more highly of himself then Newt does.
The Bible say a fool utters all his mind. I think Glenn is heading in that direction. His radio fast paced “comedy” ramblings I never found profitable.  

In the 80′s and 90′s there were mostly only the establishment Republicans what we tea party people call to old rank and file. These are the one we are fitting today. Ron Paul said it best in one debate. “they are not cutting anything!”
For the most part those are the ones who didn’t like Newt pushing through the balance budget and other things when he was speaker. He didn’t pay them their due. Just like today Newt is not going to jump into their box, our box or Glenn’s box. Now Glenn is using their dislike for newt back then against him say even the conservative back then didn’t like him.

But Glenn has made his judgement and that is that. As if Glenn has always been as he is today. I wonder what his talk will be if Newt is the one running against Obama.
How could he support him? Maybe he’ll have to run himself or support a
third party.

What was Glenn reading and who was Glenn palling around with in 1994, before his conversion.
I forgot Glenn did read back then. Maybe that was good. Alvin Toffler: Newt Gringrich’s Reverend Wright. I think the movies, books and programs that Newt has been involved in the last 8 years have proven his redirection of thought.

If Glenn is so Truthful and direct why didn’t he address these thing during his interview with Newt. If he found them after the interview then invite him back and address them head on.
Glenn made faces at Newt behind his back during the interview. I guess he just human after all.
Maybe Glenn should interview Newt FACE to FACE for an hour. Then we can watch Glenn just as much as we watch Newt

God Always gives us a way out.

Ron Paul 2012.

Agreed!
There is precedence Thomas Jefferson did it!!!! So it is constitutional because another sitting President has already done it….one of the founding fathers!

Art,

Go to the end of the debate not at 37 min.  At the very end around 90 min, Rick Santorum says those very words and you cannot argue that he did not because they are there for you to hear his speak himself.  So to say I am not correct is false because you can just run the video to the end and listen to those exact words.

Have you listened to Newt lately.  He contradicts himself constantly.  Even if he had repaired the past, he continues to be the same guy.  His only consistency is as a liar and a total insider.

I wrote in Ron Paul in 2008 and i sleep at night knowing that I Voted for the right person. I will do this again in 2012 (assuming Paul loses the rep nom)

Here is why I cant vote for NEWT..(besides he was on congressmen in Ga 6th)
10/22/1991 – Voted for an amendment that would create a National Police Corps.
03/-/1993 – Voted for sending $1.6 Billion in foreign aid to Russia.
11/19/1993 – Voted for the NAFTA Implementation Act.
11/27/1994 – Supported the GATT Treaty giving sovereignty to the U.N.
08/27/1995 – Suggested that drug smuggling should carry a death sentence.
04/25/1996 – Voted for the single largest increase on Federal education spending ($3.5 Billion)
04/10/1995 – Supported Federal taxdollars being spent on abortions.
06/01/1996 – Helped a Democrat switch parties in an attempt to defeat constitutionalist Ron Paul in 1996 election.
09/25/1996 – Introduced H.R. 4170, demanded life-sentence or execution for someone bringing 2 ounces of marijuana across the border.
01/22/1997 – Congress gave him a record-setting $300,000 fine for ethical wrongdoing.
11/29/2006 – Stated that free speech should be curtailed in order to fight terrorism. Called for a “serious debate about the 1st Amendment.”
02/15/2007 – Supported Bush’s proposal for mandatory carbon caps.
09/28/2008 – Stated if he were in office, he would have reluctantly voted for the $700B TARP bailout.
10/01/2008 – Stated in an article that TARP was a “workout, not a bailout.”

Why don’t you all just forget Newt and vote for Ron Paul. Simple. Done. The country can be restored and he is the only hope. RON PAUL 2012!!!!!!!!

I’ve gone back and forth listening to Beck over the years. I used to listen to him in Tampa, eventually I stopped.

I’d like to apologize to Beck for giving up on him and calling him nuts.

I also have to say the thought about voting over race never crossed my mind previously to his statement. I’m becoming certain he might have done this to create waves, so he could use the controversy to educate people on what it going on.

People of America, we cannot elect another progressive to office. Newt , Romney and Obama will do nothing to fix our problems, they will exacerbate them. At least be honest and throw support behind Ron Paul, Michele Bachmann or Rick Santorum- probably the only conservatives on the stage. Please, understand we cannot continue on the path laid before us, because it leads to certain and irretrievable doom.

Thanks Beck

I will support our GOP candidate against the communist in the WH no matter which one we finally choose.  Calling conservative Patriots “racist” if they support Gingrich is even worse than Perry calling us “heartless” because we don’t agree with his illegal alien policies. 

As a long time admirer of Glenn Beck, I am disappointed, but this is where we part ways. I will not support ANYONE who is willing to dump the whole system (which is our revered constitutional government) because at this point in time we may not be able to replace a progressive/marxist leader with the perfect republican. 

Those who have true COURAGE will work endlessly through the Tea Party and individually to overtake the GOP with true conservatives, long after the upcoming election.  THIS is the proper course, and THIS is what most sane people would do, rather than throwing the whole thing away… to prove a point…  or because you can’t have what we want and need immediately. 

I am signing off of GBTV.  I hope you gain back some common sense… and SOON!   If you (Glenn) are the cause of a 2012 loss, I will have pity on you because that will be very hard to live with.  God be with you.

I still support Michelle Bachmann , Ron Paul , and Rick Santorum , but with everyone listening to the enemy lames Stream Media I am afraid the American people will again settle for the least of two evils , they being other progressives , just from the opposing party , hence nothing really gained .  If we are to win it has to be someone in opposition to progressivism .

The people fear Obama winning. They know how he has ruined this country. This country will be over if he wins a second term. He is so crafty that people fear no one will be able to debate him. That is why they lean to Gingrich. He is a good debater. But Glenn is right. We shouldn’t pick someone who will go down the same path.

Your post makes a point that Gingrich is not a liberal progressive, but rather a strict, party line, establishment one at best.  The fact that most of these issues supposedly originated as ‘conservative’ issues should make you question what conservatism really is.  Most conservatives view it as a principle based ideology, but the republican establishment has adopted it for their own power struggle, and Newt is front and center.  There is only one truly constitutionally consertative candidate.  Guess who?

I think Glenn needs to have Newt on the show to explain.  I am still in mourning over Cain.  What to do, what to do. 

I like Beck, but I wouldn’t be so full of praise of Beck for mentioning Paul as the best he can do is say that he would “consider” Paul if he were a third party candidate.  If Romney were the nominee,  then he would accelerate Paul bashing of the dangers he would create.

HONEY NEWT IS A GRINCH FROM WAAAY WE WHO’VE BEEN AROUND HIM KNOW THAT FOR A FACT

HONEY NEWT IS A GRINCH FROM WAAAY WE WHO’VE BEEN AROUND HIM KNOW THAT FOR A FACT

Are these his positions today in order to get elected?  History is always a good predictor of the future.  Perhaps you should do your homework and find out what Newt has claimed in the past?  He’s sharp enough to know what it takes to get elected.  But, can you really trust him to keep his word?  History there says no.

Thank you Glenn Beck. Thank YOU!

Tea Party believes that “The Newt” will beat Obama in a debate, but the Dems are chomping at the bit to take out Gingrich.  Is being a great debater the litmus test for being President these days?  But I think it goes deeper than that.  I also think they like him because he is not a Mormon…(there I said it).  No one wants to admit it, but there is still bigotry in the Tea Party, even if it is religious bigotry.  They embraced Cain trying to show that they were “enlightened” racially, “But a Mormon?  Now you have gone too far”  Polls all show he is most likely to beat Obama, “But he is a Mormon!”  Lets take the progressive and throw away our principles because Newt claims to have found God, and Romney can’t be a Christian…he’s a Mormon.  Forget about the words “By their fruits, ye shall know them.”  Go by what they say….  “But he talks good.”  Yeah, Obama talks good too, which is why he got in…and look what that got us!  Pull that wool back over your eyes, and go back to sleep.

Mr. Luftschein,

It didn’t take me long to see that you are attempting to discredit an honest and open documentary by Glenn Beck. Your statement concerning Glenn bringing up the Fairness Doctrine was the clincher for me. You see, under a smaller government, intent on protecting individual liberties, a monopoly of the airways would not be possible. Monopolies only sustain through government intervention.

You have no point. Go away.

A 3rd Party is a vote for Obama.  There is no denying this fact. Ron Paul supporters have done a good job keeping up the momentum for his candidacy but there is no way any one but Obama wins the presidency with a 3rd party candidate unless it is from a leftist Green Party type.  Please people this is serious.   America will not last through another 4 years of Obama.

The interesting thing about your post is (1) you sound like your work for Newt or the GOP and are listing talking points and (2)  you failed to list how SIMILAR Gingrich is to Obama:

- both are warmongers (support attacking and killing ~100,000 Iraqi, Afghans, Libyans, and soon: Iranians) Killing innocent men, womena nd CHILDREN is one of Obama’s worst qualities and don’t want it in our next president.  I consider killing children to be murder.  I have been opposed to the war since 9/12/2001.
 
- both support the Patriot “spy on americans” Act

- both support warrantless searches

- groping by the TSA

- monitoring every word we type into the net

- indefinite detention of Americans without a right to a trial

- both support bailing out bankers/corporations by swiping Trillions from taxpayer wallets

- both will not overturn Obamacare.

- both will fail to give us a balanced budget with zero deficit

Therefore a vote for Gingrich is like having 4 more years of Obama.  There are so few differences that I doubt I’d even notice that a  new man was in charge, because there’d be no change in the *major* policy issues that concern me.

I’m not sure I agree with Glenn but I KNOW I won’t be voting for Gingrich, because he’s really no different than Obama.

- both are warmongers (support attacking and killing ~100,000 Iraqi, Afghans, Libyans, and soon: Iranians). Killing innocent men, women and children is one of Obama’s worst qualities and I don’t want it in our next president.  I consider killing children to be murder.  I have been opposed to going to war since 2001.

- both support the Patriot “spy on americans” Act; what a horrible piece of law

- both support warrantless searches

- groping by the TSA

- monitoring every word we type into the net

- indefinite detention of Americans without a right to a trial

- both support bailing out bankers/corporations by swiping Trillions from taxpayer wallets

- both will not overturn Obamacare.

- both will fail to give us a balanced budget with zero deficit

Therefore a vote for Gingrich is like having 4 more years of Obama.  There are so few differences that I doubt I’d even notice that a  new man was in charge, because there would be no change in the *major* policy issues that concern me.
 
IMHO.

P.S.  >>>”4) The Fairness Doctrine – it is simply incredible that Glenn would
bring this up.  This, again, was a CONSERVATIVE plan to combat the
total lack of Conservative voices in the media.”
>>>

No.  The fairness docrine was born loooong before Newt showed up.  Way back in 1949 during the Truman Administration by the FCC.   don’t know where you get the idea that Gingrich proposed the idea???  It makes me wonder if all your other “facts” are wrong as well

It is more important now to be self supporting than ever. Start storing food today for your family and neighbors. We get ours from http://www.HowToBePrepared.mygofoods.com They will let you try the food for FREE, just pay shipping. Plus, with their acts of kindness program you can earn free, storable food.  Four months ago I would have only been able to feed my family for 11 days had something bad happened. Today I have over 2 years worth, go check it out!

That’s a great place to get food reserves!  I am Gluten intolerant and was very worried about finding good food reserves that were Gluten Free. After seeing your link a few times I finally checked it out, and was every excited to see that you offer Gluten Free products. On top of that, they taste AMAZING!!  Thanks again and keep it up!

Yep, we need a small government , freedom , liberty and conservative  nominee to beat Obama, not his clones.

This is probably the most crucial election in our history. I know people have said that last two cycles – 2004 and 2008- but we’re in dire straits. We need honest and principled individuals to lead us out of this mess. The government can’t keep spending, it must stop or all of this, our great country, could be past the point of no return.

Just remember…Ron Paul was the one that said ”if we leave the
terrorist alone, they will leave us alone” and ”Iran should have
nuclear weapons”  and don’t forget ”I will bring all US Troops home
immediately” (meaning all US troops all over the world)

This is who Glenn Beck is advocating….That position is simply a position of insanity.

Just
think of the power vaccums and new terrorist breeding grounds that will
create all over the world. Not to mention the economic impacts what will
create for US exports and International Business interests as the world
will no longer trust in American help because the US retreating into a
isolationist hole.  What will you have to say about your vote after the
first mushroom cloud appears over US cities.

Ron Paul is at a minimum naive and at the most dangerous.  Can you say 1900s isolationist or 1930s appeaser??  Where did that mind set leave the world…?  Answer: World Wars One and Two.

History does this funny thing when you don’t pay attention to it….like all cycles…it repeats itself!

So closing off and withdrawal is not the answer and neither is Ron Paul.

Well put.

Glenn is making himself look like Joe McCarthy on this one. Someone who is an intellectual, like Gingrich, and has thought out loud to try and come up with solutions to our problems for the last 30 years is an easy target to cherry-pick for comments to make him look like something you want people to think. What about the huge amount of examples of rhetoric and actions that are obviously very conservative, even libertarian, from Gingrich over the years. Are we just supposed to ignore all that?

I thought Glenn was better than that. I listened to the whole radio interview between the two and I heard nothing unreasonable from Newt. Glenn seemed to have his mind made up ahead of time.

Gingrich is far from an ideal Presidential candidate. But let’s get real. He is a Conservative and has a record to prove it.

We need someone that will stand up for America. My Candidate is Ron Paul. We need someone that will govern by the Constitution. Bring back George Washingtons ideals. Ron Paul 2012.

Sounds like “not thinking” is your advice.

Everything Glenn says leads to Ron Paul.

I totally agree. Glenn is doing what he has criticized others for doing.

glenn!

is progressivee now your new enemy??
if you help ron paul in anyway win, or obama GOD will judge you to it since you will have no exuse of not knowing. 

Progressives have been the enemy. You must not watch Glenn.

Could Glenn help fiscal and constitutional conservatives wrestle control of the GOP away from the big government progressives supporting Newt “Global Warming” Gingrich? 

God never meant for us to control His people, give them their sovereignty back! 
If Congress declares war, Paul will fight it, win it, and come home.

Restore the Constitution, Restore America, Restore Sanity.  Vote Paul and you won’t have to compromise any conservative principles.

TPP(Tea Party Patriots ) is being led away from newt( the cameleon) gingrichism.
we were originally a Rp site now republicans are in every nook and cranny but we  of the old guard still reside and control.
sometimes i am a provider of information to Alex (the man) jones. but that doesnt change the fact that the TPP is not being controlled by the republicans.

Surely Beck is smart enough to know: 1) NO 3rd Party candidate has any chance whatsoever of winning the Presidency (2) If any 3rd Party receives 10+% of the popular vote, it will guarantee BO’s re-election.
How horribly ironic would it be if Beck’s pushing his ardent fans to vote for HIS choice for POTUS which is a 3rd Party candidate, makes him becoming the one single person MOST responsible for BO’s re-election!
Being old, I’ve watched an overabundance of unearned success ruin a man’s life just as surely, and very often more tragically than a man’s life being ruined by too many mistakes.
I believe, but hope I’m wrong about this, Beck has convinced himself that ALL of his success has come solely because of him as a man, rather then the real value being his MESSAGE.
Once a man goes over that ego-cliff, believing himself to be the only cause for success, rather then the message, it is always…ALWAYS a fatal fall.
When Beck starts referring to himself in the 3rd person, his narcissism will have advanced to a terminal stage.
I believe he has already reached that stage where a return to message and not self-love isn’t possible for him.
Evidence: Failure to see his own hypocrisy. How much, and how many times in the past did he criticize all those Liberals that opined that everyone that didn’t agree with BO was a Racist….and how utterly unbelievable it was that they were so blinded by their own ignorance of WHY/HOW people could possibly oppose BO…UNLESS they were racists…..
…….and then just this week make the stupefying statement that all of Newt’s supporters supported him because THEY…Newt’s supporters ….were RACIST!
Ladies and Gentlemen, that is positive proof Beck’s become totally delusional. 

Just Say it Glenn, You want to Vote for Ron Paul.  You didn’t even mention that Ron Paul Brought up Newt’s profiteering from the housing bubble, and slammed him for it during the last GOP debate.

“You need somebody who can stand up and say, ‘Listen to me, I didn’t take money from Fannie and Freddie… I’m not for climate change and all this green stuff…’ All of the efforts to push principles, to push our founders and the Constitution… Are you truly willing to throw it all out the window…?  Don’t sell out your values… There are other options.”  –Glenn Beck, 3rd video above

Glenn you have just made the case for Ron Paul.

You forgot to say PUFF PUFF PASS!!!  Newsflash A$$clown: Your overly simplistic views that are either a libertarian or liberal strain of mental retardation is not now, nor will it ever be taken seriously!!!  Go ahead and choke on a pot brownie and remember:  ”Men (even pu$$ies like yourself) sleep peacefully at night because rough men stand ready to do violence on their behalf!”  George Orwell

Gingrich can put Obama away.  I mean totally dismiss him.
The dems and the press (one and the same) are pulling for Mitt Romney.
Like McCain, they can defeat him.  But Newt’s voice is too strong.
He’ll prevail.  Mark my words.  He’ll put him away.
And to support any third party candidate is to put Obama in a second term.
It is beyond me why Glenn would suggest such a thing.

Ron Paul 2012

glenn beck!

you sir will never STAND with israel.

you show cowardic behavior at best, voting ron paul on any circumstances is very telling. 

defending israel is like being inside a lion den, a task too big for your faith as we discover. i dont blame you since your intentions are good but you are no leader to me anymore.

i dont need to tell you that israel is more then a country its bigger then elections and people its a test of faith that only few will hold, it is not just an idea do not make it sound like an idea.

soon the world will be upside down and on its head, the forces of evil will think in their wicked mind that they at last have a chance. how will you help israel then?

could individual help stoped hitler??!!!

Not a Great Newt Fan… but Glen is starting to loose me… Loose me in your fanaticism…

Ron Paul is not a third party candidate, he is a GOP front runner. So I am having a hard time understanding the relevance of your post.

To the chickenhawks, neocons, et al.. Pay close attention. This is now a
two man race. Either Ron Paul will be your next president or it will be
Obama. If you are not for R.P. you are for Obama in a practical sense.

Yes I could go on about how Ron Paul polls the best against Obama in
theoretical matchups, but the most compelling reason is as follows:

Paul supporters have principles. We are not going to compromise by
voting for the same leadership under a different name. We are only going
to vote for Ron Paul. Newt Romney is the same as Obama, and the same as
Bush. Come election time you are not getting our votes if Newt Romney
is the nominee. In this scenario, Newt Romney loses.

Ron Paul supporters have steadily grown to a formidable voting block, we are not going away, and we are not changing our minds.

So you can either be with us, or be for Obama, because at this point that is what it comes down to. Choose wisely.

Jason, as I understand it, Iowa GOP is populated with a majority of Evangelical Christians, and are motivated by social issues. Historically it is not what it used to be in deciding candidates nationally and only holds it’s caucus place because of tradition, not relevance. Ron Paul is nothing more than a spoiler as he has always been. You are nothing more than one of his devotees that cannot seem to recognize he will NEVER win a national election. This is the most important election in my lifetime and probably yours. Recognize that Obama MUST be defeated next Nov and Paul is not the man to do it.

Right on. It is useless to argue with Paulbots Jackqui, yet I still try as well!

Yeah, right, chickenhawk. Ron Paul supporters are nothing but disgruntled Barack Hussein Obama voters and so-called “independents” (meaning those who vote for the best soundbite).
Beck lost me on this one.

You voted for Obama, didn’t you?

Harding wasn’t responsible it was Calvin Coolidge who was responsible for the roaring 20s and newt is not conservative he believes in the death penalty for drug possesion and he wants war with iran how is that conservative? he believes in global government just check his good friend alvin toffler if you dont believe me

Obama is the same as newt romney check their records there is no difference if your too ignorant to see it there is no hope for our country

yea cause not dropping bombs and not killing women and children will make us enemies thats your argument????? just use your common sense if we treat the world like they’re our play thing and bomb whoever we want, overthrow whatever government we want why wouldnt they want to attack us its called blowback. Blowback is a CIA and 9/11 commission idea its not unique to ron paul. if you want to understand foreign policy just look up Micheal Scheuer former head of the CIA bin laden unit listen to his oppinions someone who really knows how it all works

If anyone but Ron Paul gets the nomination the obama wins. All the others have bagage they cannot defend in a debate against Obama. I also haven’t heard a cohearaent plan from Bachman in the debates.

Paul is the only one who can stand on principle. I am an independent and he has my vote. I have been independent since the 2008 Primaries chose McCain. Ron Paul is the only Conservative. And Yes libritarians are true conservatives. If you wish to continue to associate with The Progressive GOP and vote for their pic then we are all destined to loose our country. Wake the hell up and vote for truth and right not popularity.

Ron Paul is loved for his heroism and truth-telling. One man against the establishment. Maybe the Israel-firsters who want to nuke Iran should start a third party. They would probably get about 1 or 2 percent of the vote as Ron Paul steamrolls Obama.

why does glen beck support EVERY idea Ron Paul has but then… hates Ron Paul?

Understanding Ron Paul
http://danbeaulieu.blogspot.com/2011/11/understanding-ron-paul.html

.for Adam Hutchinson, since this site doesn’t allow replies to replies.

You sound like a liberal with ” your too ignorant” mantra. Ron Paul and his followers, including your, are a radical fringe. Being insulting is hardly a way to convince a majority of voters that Paul is a viable candidate, but you can’t convince us can you. So perhaps it’s YOU that is the problem. Rather than going through the list of radial ideas Paul has expressed just in this debate season you should look a bit more closely at your guy and rationally reason through why the MAJORITY OF US CONSERVATIVES do not support him.

Still blogging for the Obama administration?

The ONLY way we get out of this mess is through Divine help from God. Our Lady of Fatima predicted this over 90 years ago. Her message is coming true TODAY! God gave us a way to avert these hard times and that way is through the rosary and through the consecration of Russia to the Imaculate Heart of Mary. The pope and all the bishops need need to do this as soon as possible or it will only get worse. Nothing else will help. If you want the facts go to http://www.fatima.org/crusader/truestory/truestorytoc.asp to check for yourself if you are not familiar with the Fatima message. We can not wait!

Ron Paul is not perfect but acceptable. There are too many liberals on both sides and not just the pols but all the people who make their money off govt. It is too far gone in my opinion but if there is a chance, I see Ron as the best hope for it. The big govt. people on both sides will gang up together to ruin him. Just remember when Trent Lott said that we will have to co-opt the tea party. Code word “corrupt” them.

HMMM,  consider looking at Prof Paul Gottfreid and his take on all this – VERY DIFFERENT  and very insightful…

He visits Leo Strauss in his coming book – I have no affiliation with Gottfreid, but dang, he hits it out of the park

Not One, But Three Tea Parties

http://www.theamericanconservative.com/blog/2010/10/29/not-one-but-three-tea-parties/

whew…

They taste more like rattlesnake.

When did Israel become the 51st state?

What I took away from Glenn’s analysis of Newt Gingrich is that we should examine all aspects of the person before making a decision.  Just look what happened with the ’08 election.  There were a lot of people who voted for Mr. Obama not fully understanding who he is or was.  Most people said they never would’ve voted for him had they known more about him.  Glenn is essentially saying the same thing.  Don’t just vote for someone because you think he/she is electable…vote for him/her because of their principles, values and history.   

The GOP voted for Obama when they chose McCaint.

Newt Romney is our Barack!

Those responsible for an Obama reelection would be the same ones that push these milquetoast candidates on us …. the GOP.

I’m a life-long republican, and so is my family.  We are tired of corrupt politicians like Newt, and watered down “progressive conservatives” like Mitt.  We can’t vote for either in good conscious.  Our country is in dire straights, and voting for one of them is not going to cut it.

The polls have shown that the only GOP candidate that can win in a general election against Obama is Congressman Paul.  He doesn’t have his hands dirty with lobbyist money or corporate bail outs.  He is strong on economics and would go to war strategically if it is really necessary, not risking our soldiers lives at a whim for control of oil distribution and making Halliburton executives even richer.

So, go ahead and vote for Newt or Mitt if you want more of the same. The news media and propagandists will be proud of you for towing the line. However, if you want to see America become great again, you would be wise to consider Congressman Paul. My entire republican family believes he is the right choice and will be voting that way in the upcoming primary.

Whoaaa, what a beatdown! And he barely scratched the surface.

Been voting Republican for 35 years

Amateur Hour Is Over!
Ron  E. Paul 2012-16

The majority of conservatives don’t land with any of the candidates. That’s why we have caucuses and primaries.

Can you share some of Paul’s ‘radial’ ideas with us?

Lay off of the stool softner. That should help with the loose problem.

The problem with Ron Paul is his stance on foreign policy, and Glenn has pointed this out many times. Paul has some good conservative values but he’s an isolationist, and that’s a major problem.

Lay off of the stool softner. That should help with the loose problem.

Glenn’s own arguments against Progressive policies is great, but it leaves FOREIGN POLICY out of the equation.  On the chalk board he points out UN-Communist/Progressive ideas on the one LEFT side, and Nationalist-Fascists/Progressive ideas on the RIGHT.   He does say breifly that those on the LEFT are for internationalism – ie spreading their ideas around the world by the barrel of a gun.    But Glenn Beck fails to see and appreciate the fact that WILSONIAN PROGRESSIVE Foreign Policy has been America’s foreign policy for every president ever since.  Glenn needs to learn what a foreign policy is that is both Consistent and Principled that is NOT progressive.   Beck says he is for full defense of THIS country, and wants to end the Progressive Foreign Policies, but turns around and agrees with progressive policies of policing the world and “spreading democracy” by the barrel of the gun and supporting dictators with Foreign Aid and covert CIA overthrows. Glenn worries about Israel WAY TOO MUCH. Let her stand on her own two feet. Israel is not a child. Its a 300 nuclear powered first rate military. Nobody is pushing it anywhere, even America. So its high time Glenn Beck LISTENS to the troops!  If Glenn can speak for 15 minutes perhaps he can listen for 15 minutes. Learn our history since 1954.  Learn what progressive Roosevelt Jr did to Iran in ’54 using the CIA.  Learn what a foreign policy looks like that is NOT Progressive.  Learn from the master.  Learn from our troops. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I8NhRPo0WAo&feature=youtu.be

Glenn has repeatedly denied being a prophet, when overexcited people have claimed him to be one.  On that happy note, he also does not claim to be the mighty guiding light and source of all wisdom and descisions, but rather lays out the principles by which he makes decisions and tells you to make your own descisions based on principles.  His goal is to make you independent, but are beginning to sound like two-face.  “I can’t make decisions without my coin!!” No! Make decisions on your principles.

Ron Paul’s foreign policy is NOT a progressive foreign Policy.  Glenn Beck likes the progressive foreign policy of Wilson that every president since has supported for America.  Ron Paul comes along and because of Beck’s love/fear for Israel, freaks out about Ron Paul.  So Beck is for a Progressive Foreign Policy, yes Beck is a hypocrite like Newt.  Beck needs to recognize that Israel is a 300 pound nuclear power with a 1st rate military, and no one not even the USA is pushing her around.  Most of all, Beck needs to learn and what a foreign policy looks like that is NOT Progressive. Beck needs to really LISTEN to our troops.  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I8NhRPo0WAo&feature=youtu.be

If we get Beck to listen to our troops perhaps we can teach Beck to drop his PROGRESSIVE foreign policy views?,..Ya think? … http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I8NhRPo0WAo&feature=youtu.be
 

Give Glen time he coming around to it. 

Hey MarsBarsTru7, so all you want to hear is an ECHO CHAMBER?   Really? What is the point then of Comments?   If you can’t bare to hear what the troops really are saying…. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I8NhRPo0WAo&feature=youtu.be  then perhaps you should do what liberals do:  Pretend that they are “open minded” and then proceed to stick their fingers in their ears.   

Beck is not exactly saying that either.  He is really gearing people towards Romney in the same subtle manner that mainstream media uses.  By not mentioning Romney or reearching him, voters zeroes on Newt and the intention is to gross them out so much that they will take anything but Newt.   This will lead to a shift to Romney as not much dirt and negative light has been placed on him. 

Other than a few far right that soley base their decision on their version of religion, noonelse takes Bachman and Santorum seriously. 

The majority of conservatives don’t support Romney either.  Those that do are direct in saying they are not enthusiastic about him and don’t hold high hopes that he can beat Obama.  Does that mean that Romney’s vast majority of non-enthusiastic supporters should also consider why he hasn’t been able to close the deal when all of media has his back and look into themselves to figure out why they could even support such a fake?

Paul’s ideas work and are realistic and the solution to the global situation.  However, a desire for this mess to be fixed and take the associated pains and benefits are required in order to support Paul.  Taking Paul’s ideas makes one money and provides credibility. 

Paul needs to deal with this directly, not you entirely to close the deal.  Until you can relay that to Paul directly and get him to do it, I am not sure what kind of success you will have. 

You will gain ground once you can see that GOP/republicans and press are also one and the same. 

Perhaps he has become for delusional for Obama-Romney. 

How convenient of you to hide Romney when the negative spotlight come on. 

@facebook-1184131299:disqus I love Glenn – joined him in Israel, and long ago sent him many of the works he cited regarding Progressivism. my buddy’s mother-in-law makes $79 an hour on the internet. She has been without a job for 9 months but last month her paycheck was $9049 just working on the internet for a few hours. Read more here… http://g00.me/7h

Glenn is only wrong on one Major detail, the foreign policies that he supports are Progressive Foreign Policies.  The only GOP candidate without a progressive internationalist foreign policy is the one candidate he does not like, Ron Paul. So who is the hypocriter now Beck?  Ron Paul listens to our troops and understands what Roosevelt Jr did to Iran back in 1953/54.  Its time for Beck to drop his own Progressiveness and go all in for Ron Paul.  At the very least, he can listen to what our troops are trying to tell him here:  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I8NhRPo0WAo&feature=youtu.be

How many military bases are ENOUGH Glenn?  How many?  Do we need a 1,000?  500?  100?  How many bases DO YOU NEED to feel “safe” in this world Glenn?  I submit to you that you stop kissing Israel’s behind and allow them to grow up and stand on their own two feet.  Here is the thing Glenn, “entangling alliances” is exactly how the whole world got dragged into WWI from just one small assassination in the Balkans.  Right now there are over 1,000 trip-wires set by all of these INSANE alliances.  If something happens in Taiwan, in S. Korea, Germany, Turkey, any part of Latin America, Australia…etc — my boys go to war.  A war to protect America’s national borders?  No.  A war “for” Taiwan, a war “for” S. Korea, a war “for” Germany, a war “for” Turkey….or even yes, a war “for” Israel.   If my boys go to war for any of these wars then it will be because of people like you.  And it will be people like you that I will hold accountable.  Get a clue Beck, Israel can defend herself, she has a 1st rate military and 300 nukes.  She’s a big girl now.  But my gal is America and I want MY AMERICA to be defended against all enemies, foreign and domestic.  A progressive foreign policy has been killing my fellow Americans since Woodrow Wilson started it.  It is unwise, unprincipled, and most of all, a stupid foreign policy.  Just as when two individuals go to fight, its best others stay out of it, so to should countries stay out of it.  Nothing is worse than a world war brawl, nuclear or otherwise.  Its time you start listening to our troops.  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I8NhRPo0WAo&feature=youtu.be   

Just wanted to point out that when the Lord speaks of the people of Israel He’s not literally talking about the people inside the country. God is speaking of all believers when He speaks of Israel. What you’re saying sounds like the Lord won’t protect anyone who isn’t an Israeli.

I think all the negative talk in media towards our republican candidates are nothing but fuel for the Obama machine.  It is counter productive and americans are not dumb asses, some are but most are not, that they cannot decide for themselves.  The debates have caused me to see the differences among candidates.  The negative talk makes the republicans look very split and disorgainized.  Look who’s in office now!  None could be any worse.

That’s how my family and I have always voted, based on our religious views. Why? For the simple reason that everything in the Bible pertains to the home, the church, and to all society. What’s wrong with that?
Also, if you haven’t noticed, Glenn is all about saving this nation. Yes, he is very concerned about Israel’s safety, but he is even more concerned about the future of this country. Have you actually been listening to his show? Have you read any of his books? If so, then you should know that he is deeply concerned about this nation (and that’s an understatement).

When Glenn pulled the race card, he went too far. I, like all TEA PARTY members, are still vetting the candidates. Newt may be up now, but who knows a few months from now. Ranting that his lack of understanding for why Newt is up now implies a possible racial underpinning to the vetting process went too far. I want Glenn to continue to provide facts regarding all the candidates. However, I will not be bullied into a way of thinking whether it be by Glenn or Creepy Dude.

Stephen, your logic is completely wrong. Supporting something that WAS a Republican position doesn’t mean you are actually Conservative. An individual mandate is, always was, and always will be, wrong. ALWAYS. Just because Republicans bought into the idea doesn’t make it right. 

If you define conservatism as simply being whatever Republicans vote for, then fine, I guess Newt is a conservative. But, if you define conservatism more in terms of the values of small government and such, then Newt is NOT a conservative. The Republican Party has not always held conservative positions. Sometimes Republicans have conservative positions, sometimes they have liberal positions. 

Quit thinking it a good thing that Newt simply went with the Republican party on every issue. The important thing is the position, regardless of who shares those views with you. 

  The Progressive Left is Applauding Beck’s statement to suggest that this support of Newt is racial.  It is Almost like they want him Now to Join Msnbc , but before when he was on Fox they were constantly attacking him.  It appears that  ‘Statism’ is the reason . For Example  Because Beck Attacked Newt Supporters , The Progressive Left likes Him , Because the Main Goal is (apparently) One Party Rule in America and All are welcome that Attack Non Leftist Party (like the GOP and Others).  
The Allegation Against ‘Tea Party supporters for Newt’ (made by Beck) does Not make a lot of sense (for now), because Newt stated he is Against Nationalized Health and National Finance (dowd/frank bill) and Obama is for those Bills (passed by hard core democrats) ,therefore it does Not make sense for the Tea Party to support Obama over Newt , it makes sense to support Newt Over Obama for the Goal of Individual Liberty.

History:

As there is Talk that a 3rd Party Candidate will emerge like Ron Paul , Huntsman , Trump, Etc. , this does give a possible repeat of what happen in 1912 when Progressive Democrat Wilson won , because of a 3rd party Candidate that Left the GOP .The Speech on New Nationalism that Obama gave days ago , Solidifies Democrat Progressive Obama as Like Democrat Progressive Woodrow Wilson and Not (at all) like Individual Liberty Presidents Republicans Abraham Lincoln and Taft .The Real Birth of the Progressive Movement Started With Democrat WOODROW WILSON Winning in The 1912 Election From Republican Taft (because of the sell out or Defection of Roosevelt from the republicans to start a separate 3rd party).Maybe it is Wishful Thinking or Maybe it will Happen that a Republican will the Sell the Party Out or Defect from the Republicans to Form a 3rd Party , which will insure that this Current Democrat Progressive will win in 2012 (like 1912 with Woodrow Wilson).

3rd Party Run and the Possible Repeat of 1912 Election:

As there is Talk that a 3rd Party Candidate will emerge like Ron Paul , Huntsman , Trump, Etc. , this does give a possible repeat of what happen in 1912 when Progressive Democrat Wilson won , because of a 3rd party Candidate that Left the GOP .

The Speech on New Nationalism that Obama gave days ago , Solidifies Democrat Progressive Obama as Like Democrat Progressive Woodrow Wilson and Not (at all) like Individual Liberty Presidents Republicans Abraham Lincoln and Taft .

The Real Birth of the Progressive Movement Started With Democrat WOODROW WILSON Winning in The 1912 Election From Republican Taft (because of the sell out or Defection of Roosevelt from the republicans to start a separate 3rd party).

Maybe it is Wishful Thinking or Maybe it will Happen that a Republican will the Sell the Party Out or Defect from the Republicans to Form a 3rd Party , which will insure that this Current Democrat Progressive will win in 2012 (like 1912 with Woodrow Wilson).

Newt’s a Progressive.

FINALLY someone is brave enough to talk about why many people are all of a sudden on the Newt train.  This gravy train is doomed.  Thanks for a refreshing discussion, Glenn.  Newt will die out like all of the others have dropped off in the last few months…and the GOP nominee will be an experienced man who left the state of MA with a $2 billion rainy day fund…a man with strong family values, finance experience, and only a history of successes…Mitt Romney…read his book “Turnaround” and you will stop short of nothing but loving the man…

Glenn – I really would like to know what conservatives & TP’s your talking to ? I am in 5 groups here in Atlanta NO ONE WANTS NEWT. My sister is in Orlando and her groups DON’T WANT NEWT ? I tallk and FB to tons of people with lots of influence and half of us are in his old district and WE DON’T WANT NEWT ! So it’s the media lying and who ever it is telling you this needs to call me.

.The Michael Scheuer I have seen on Freedom Watch maintains that “no one in the US” supports Israel.????? That does fly in the face of his supposed expertise when 65% of Americans consistently support the state of Israel in their struggle against their aggressive and murderous neighbors. That Scheuer? He is an anti-Semite. Is that what drives Ron Paul as well? Seems the Judge likes Paul so I may as well paste the same label on him.

Two things I do like about Newt is his promise to clear out the Dept of State and to put John Bolton in as Secretary. That would also help kick some fanny in the United Nations, one of the most corrupt and useless organization on earth.

 Some fake 2009 ‘tea parties’ in SC endorsed. First off, legit tea parties, the ones who have been around since 2007, DO NOT ENDORSE. Second, why would people intent on preserving the Constitution choose someone who support the death of it?

Ron Paul will NEVER, repeat NEVER run third party!!!! If you want to see your spoiler for Obama, look no further than that idiot TRUMP.

 I am sad that Beck is spreading the rumor of something RON PAUL would never do…. that is run third party. IT IS JUST NOT TRUE, because RP knows it would hand it to Obama and he would never do that.

Newt is not a candidate who supports the constitution.

“SEIU’s Andy Stern Is Visionary Union Leader”

“Andy Stern, the head of the Service Employees International Union, is
the union leader who probably best understands the challenge of the
world market and the need to make American union members productive in
the face of world competition. Sadly, he is a distinct minority among
union leaders.”

What kind of ‘conservative’ supports the Tofflers who say  the Constitution is a document that has “served us so well for so long, and that now must, in its turn, die and
be replaced.” Newt wrote the forward for that book and he supports these modern day Orwellians.

YOu also missed the joke. He was not talking about race but emphasizing that Newt is just as progressive as Obama.

Does anyone really think the retread newt could beat Obama?

Newt please have John Zeigler on your show to talk about Newt’s baggage and unelectability!

Yes, as evidenced by the two moderators for the last debate:
Diane Sawyer and Gearge Steponallofus.
Surely they could have done better than that!
Hard to believe the GOP had nothing to say about it;
it was so obvious they were protecting Romney.

Go Michele Bachmann 2012!!! WoooHoooo!.. I hope she slaps Newt/ Romney around again like she did in the last debate. They were spittin teeth after that slappin hahaha

Why is there not a clamoring for Michelle Bachman?  She is “right” on virtually every position:  No on the global warming hoax, cap and trade, bailouts, individual mandates.  Yes on tax cuts, decreasing government spending, decreasing the size of government, providing for a strong national defense…and on and on.  

Most importantly, she may be the the only candidate who does not flip – flop.  She has guts.  She takes a position, a conservative position – and she sticks with it…even in the face of a lack of support from the Republican leadership in the House of Representatives.  She is a true leader, she has been at the forefront of the tea party movement, she is tough as nails and she deserves our support.  Bachman 2012. 

You are not the only one.  I stopped watching Beck a few weeks ago when he started bashing Newt on the radio show.  Sorry, calling someone a bad person, who isn’t, is not cool in my book.  Plus, I am just plain tired of watching him tear up.  It used to seem genuine.  Now it doesn’t.  It’s a real shame.  I really miss his show.

Glenn: The only one above 3% polling who entirely restricts himself to the founding principles is, ___________. This also happens the be the most kind, and the most honest man. He never voted for the patriot act. Opposed entry into Iraq without a declaration of war. Sang the song of the Federal Reserve Bank before you were out of high school. Has more often been the Only nay vote in congress over 30 years than ALL other stand-alone nays combined. Is politically incorruptible.

You do not agree, or are afraid of, some aspects of his thinking, yet you cannot deny that those things are not in accord with the founding principles, and he is honest about it. Bachmann’s support of the patriot act should register as 30%-50% against what you believe. Yet, you recommend her over someone who is 99% of what you believe and espouse.

In addition:  He has the honor, humility and kindness of Washington. The practical understanding of the principles of liberty, like Jefferson. And, enough experience with the legislative process to effectively word and pass practical legislation in the fight to restore the constitution, like Hamilton.

Yet, still, you reject him. You wish he looked and sounded otherwise. You wish he parlayed with smoothing rhetoric, had Perry’s jaw, Newt’s speaking skills, Romney’s eyes, (Michelle’s hair?). None of those standing, NONE of them, come close to his principles and abilities. None. His character and principles are fully vetted in the congressional records, and on display in his family. A good man with virtually nothing to hide. Has he made a bad blurb or two? Probably. Who hasn’t?

By their works, ye shall know them. Does your obsessive failure to accept this feel like a bad control-freak attack? It is. Let it go. Be at peace. Trust the founders. This is the ONLY man who would not be controlled by special interest groups. They don’t even bother going to his office. 

You contest his stance on Israel? He alone stood to defend Israel’s bombing of Iraq’s weapons facility, when congress sought to sanction their actions. Fixing things for others means controlling things for others. He allows Israel to do what they need to do. The “community of Nations” grants no such liberty to them (or you, or me).

30 freaking years, Glenn. 30 years of sound principles of governance and remaining untangled in DC corruption. 30 effing years. Constitution or bust. Accept the fact that he won’t sing platitudes. He behaves so, to promulgate sound principles. Let it go. Choose the right.

Judson Phillips, a lead in Tea Party Nation, has endorsed Newt.
Also, let.’s not forget that before he was governor of CA, Ronald Reagan was a Democrat.  I am sure we can find statements in his past which were not conservative.
Newt has not been a Washington insider for a long time, and when he did take over the House in 1994, my husband and I danced around the room!!

Who are you to decide who can and can’t win? Isn’t this still America? Isn’t this the country where a man or woman can rise from the depths of poverty to the heights of prosperity based on their hard work and dedication? Is this not a free country where people are allowed life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness? Oppression and self serving demagogues do not make me happy. Ron Paul makes me happy. He is proof that not everyone in Washington has sold out. He is proof that their are still people with values willing to stick by them no matter how many slings and arrows they must endure. They hold the line, not for person gain or glorification, they do it because it is right and it is just. If there is no longer any hope, that a person like Ron Paul can lead our country and true our course, then I fear our country and our proud history is lost. I say to you, the heck with your opinions, Ron Paul can win the nomination and he most definitely can and will be the next president of the United States of America. Its is time for Liberty and Justice for all!

If we focus on the problem, we cannot see the solution. Each individual already has the answer, and the power to effect positive change. Problems ‘seem’ complex; convoluted taken out of context, spun til our heads spin etc… The answer is too painful for most to deal with and is seldom if ever presented with any clarity for one to ACT upon. Most problems can be solved in acting on just two words, at the individual level: LIVE SIMPLY. Art Linkletter once opined, “All you can do is all you can do, and all you can do is enough.” Try that on his ‘e4.’ – What’s more – is the effect is universal. It works for everyone, every time. And it’s FREE. Will even work for extraterrestrials and imaginary ‘friends.’ 

Strategically placed Vick’s VaporRub tends to do just that; at the scripted and opportune time, the head tilted ‘just so’ allows it to ‘work.’ Ask any Hollywood actor. Our society has gone from an intellectual form of discourse to one based on generating an emotional response. A factually verifiable false premise equates to a dog chasing cars or its tail – may be fun to watch, but is non-productive and a pointless waste of time and energy. 

Glenn is usually accurate in his reporting, but i don’t know  if he missed the mark this time.  Newt has accomplished many good things for America when he was Speaker of the House.  Unless  he has changed 180 degrees to the left, which I’m not convinced of.

Any of the current Reublicans who are running for president could nail Obama on the issues.  Ron Paul is the only bad choice for Republicans to win in 2012.

Newt accomplished many good things?  Which from the following list were good?

Voted ‘yes’ in establishing a Dept. of Education
Voted ‘yes’ in giving China ‘Favored Nation’ status
Voted ‘yes’ in the Federal land grab of mineral rich areas of Alaska
Subsidized trade to the Soviets
Supported the transfer of 2.2 million acres in Idaho to wilderness status
Supported federally funded loan guarantees
Supported taxpayer funds made available to foreign Govts.
Supported amnesty for illegal immigrants
Supported $13 billion in foreign aid (and its continuation)
Supported funding for National Endowment for the Arts
Supported an extra $1.2 billion for UN peacekeeping & $166 million more for the IRS
Spearheaded the effort to make Puerto Rico a state
Supported Al Gore’s carbon tax scheme
A member of the Council on Foreign Relations since 1990
Not only did he fail to end affirmative action (like he told voters), he became one of its biggest supporters
Teamed up with Al Sharpton and Arne Duncan on a tour to promote Obama’s education reforms
Endorses federal involvement in areas such as energy, education, labor and the environment
Founded the Center for Health Transformation, which advocates its own version of socialized medicine
A big fan of FDR and of Woodrow Wilson
His last freedom index score, taken in 1999 in the 105th Congress, was an abysmal 50%

Why didn’t you call him by name, Slim?

Luftschein,  Newt’s favorite president is FDR.  HELLO!  This alone makes all of your arguments justifying his anti-conservative positions moot.  I suspect you are on Newt’s campaign payroll.  He also spoke highly of socialist union leader Andy Stern.  He also states he is in the Wilson mold.  Wilson was such a huge conservative ….. errr…wait.. that’s right Wilson was a progressive.

It’s fine GB  if you don’t agree with Gingrich’s past and present statements about Nationality and Politics, but ti’s not necessary to spew so much hate at him. GB, if you put aside your ill feelings and listen for a change, you’ll learn something positive!

That’s a lot of excuse you’ve offered for pushing Communist ideas we don’t want.  No thanks.

What about the fact he was a member of the Council on Foreign Relations a “one world organization”?
