Glenn – many have been sounding the warning bell for a long time; the problem is that many on the Right have been led to conclude that Obama must be defeated by SOMEONE. They have not looked the next portion down the line, assuming wrongly that anyone getting in will be able to overturn Obama and the Progressives nightmare.

If another Progressive like Newt enters office, the nation is still ended.

What America must make sure of is that in the ending of Obamas office term via elections, that we do not replace one evil progressive with another evil progressive in the same office.

No matter how it is done or acclaimed; to change one evil for another is still evil.

THANK GOD SC CONSERVATIVES ARE THINKING FOR THEMSELVES.

can we please pick some one else instead of Newt thank you.

Sound like a spoiled little boy that isn’t getting his way. Maybe on Monday you will hold your breath untill the polls change.

There’s only one candadite that isn’t a big government guy. And interestingly enough he is the only one with enough outside the GOP establishment support to beat Obama. He’s the only one that has made a career on upholding the Constituion. (something I once thought Glenn Beck supported)

As is usually the case, facts and reason will reduce the lefties to sputtering incomprehensibility. People like them are, stuck in perpetual adolescence will never get beyond their feelings that something is just not fair. They never recognize that the only “fairness” that should be and can be rightly imposed is the removal of obstacles to personal success. Anything else is simply thievery, and right now we have far too many thieves in our the country, and in Washington.

I cry for America because I love her so.

God Bless her and keep her for future generations

according to his mistress’s Newt like’s it on “top”

It’s Newteelicious Time!

“America must be collectively hitting the 2012 election panic button as Newt Gingrich is surging once again in the polls. Are GOP voters so desperate for someone who can ‘beat Obama’ they are willing to overlook the fact they are a blatant big government progressive just to defeat him? If Newt continues to surge, apparently so.”

Same goes if the GOP chooses Romney or Santorum. There’s only one candidate in the GOP primaries who isn’t a “blatant big government progressive”.

Yeeeessss! “Latest polls in South Carolina: Newt on top” (can’t help myself)

RON PAUL — FOR PRESIDENT  –2012  –  THE ONLY HONEST- & – SERIOUS CHOICE  –  AMERICA – A NATION ONCE AGAIN  ——–  DONT LET THE OTHER CLOWNS SWOOOO YOU.. YOU SHOULD HAVE LEARNED BY NOW  –  GET SERIOUS AMERICA    —-  LETS GET SERIOUS  –  TIME HAS COME TO GET SERIOUS.   –  VOTE FOR A REAL AMERICAN  –  VOTE FOR RON PAUL  – A TRUE BLUE AMERICAN  –  THANK YOU. 

I call BULLSHIT I am so sick and tired of the dang media scumbags say what ever they want and we are supposed to go along with it well the hell with that Ron Paul killed it last night and nothing you can do can change that. 

Yes-you are correct.  I for one will vote for the person, whom ever becomes the Republican nominee.  In my opinion, Gingrich should be the one to face the guy from DC.  My question is, will he [BHO] be allowed to use a teleprompter?  An ear piece?   If not, he’s toast.  I won’t judge Mr. Gingrichs’ moral character-that’s up to our Lord.  

Did you hear Obama singing today?  He was really good!  Maybe he should quit his day job!  Just wishing.

YEEEES!!  NEWT’S ON TOP!!!

SANTORUM

Aren’t records wonderful?     Thank God anyone can find this info for themselves.

it’s possible that, just like anyone else, newt could’ve changed his mind on some things. the tea party movement has educated/reeducated a lot of folks and recentered “north” on a lot of people’s conservative compasses. newt hasn’t been recently saying any of these things that you cite. after all, you used to be a drunk, glenn. redemption happens. invite him on your show and ask him about it.

Glenn is so right on!  Tea Party folks..remember the principals we stand on…Newt does not support them. We’ll still have big govt.   Rick Santorum is the right man for the job!

I Would rather see Rick Santorum get Elected than Newt As rick is not a progressive a is a honest person an you can expect the truth coming from him, you cannot from a progresssive.They will say one thing an do another,is that what you want????/

Ron Paul is the only candidate that has a chance of putting the United States back on track, which is probably why so many on both sides of the fence fear him!

Santorum defends his use of earmarksBy Naureen Khanhttp://www.cbsnews.com/8301-503544_162-57354185-503544/santorum-defends-his-use-of-earmarks/

I wouldnt vote for Ron Paul if he as the last man on earth as he wants to isollate the us from the rest of the world an you just cant do that An prosper.

not if you want to beat Obama

I agree but, he won’t survive The Machine.   You have to fight nasty with nasty.  Look how nasty that Debbie Wasserman Schultz is.   Rick wouldn’t survive, Ron Paul won’t survive and Romney is too weak.   NG has brains, knows his history, Washington politics and isn’t afraid of hurting someone’s feelings.
His past indiscretions are between he and our God;  who among us is free of sin?

John Wayne Gacy would be able to beat Obama in this up coming election. At least Newt can sweep the floor with Obama in any debate “without a teleprompter” 

1.  I, along with millions of other Americans believe that it is highly offensive to label newt as a Progressive/Democrat.  newt is obviously a Conservative/Republican through and through.  Like beck, newt was fired from his most powerful position because he lacked character.  glenn was simply fired.  newt, on the other hand, received the largest Congressional fines in history, then was fired.  newt swims in the same scum filled gutter with simple minded ST, glenn and rush.
2.  Doesn’t this surge point out an obvious flaw in the Republican Party.  They do not have quality leaders.  If I were running the RNC or the super pacs I would cut off the Presidential funding and focus on Congressional or State elections because they are in serious danger of losing hundreds of seats.
3.  How weak is the Republican party?  Stephen Colbert, a comedian/host is making a mockery of the Republican Primaries and the Presidential candidates.  He is polling well, but can’t even be voted for.  To add insult to injury, Cain has joined Colbert in this circus act.  Think about it…Herman Cain (who is the chosen spokesperson for the Tea Party State of the Union response and former glenn favorite) is now mocking the Conservatives by running around with Colbert in SC. 
Well done Consevatives.

For today, and every day you post here, I will post your lies on every comment you make on this site….

Why don’t you just go away you liar and Phony Soldier. Everyone would understand that move on your part. Your hate and ignorance is not winning any converts here. You’re the butt of jokes and ridicule.

Please see a professional about your fixation on little children strtlk/mtclayboy.

You’re a lying sack of crap. You denied serving on a submarine, and knowing what SSBN was. I posted your words verbatim.

You’re a Wikipedia sailor and a lying puke.

Here’s your “one on one” you little puke of a man.

1. As mtclayboy you claimed that you served on a BOOMER. As strtlk you claimed not to know what a Boomer or a SSBN was “I don’t care” were your exact words. You also stated that you didn’t know where Bangor, Wa. was which is where Boomers (submarines) are fitted for duty.
Any real Submariner would know that. You didn’t!

2. You then changed your story and claimed that you were on a BOOMER. You lied.

3. As mtclayboy you claimed that you had damaged your ears while serving on a Submarine. As strtlk, you claimed that you damaged your ears while serving on a submarine.

4. As mtclayboy you claimed that you joined the Navy and served for five years on a submarine but according to the timeline you gave that was proven to be a lie. You lied.

5. As mtclayboy you said that you were a Fireman. As strtlk, you claimed you were a Fireman.

6. As mtclayboy and as strtlk, you posted the same bigotry and hate against Glenn Beck almost word for word even using the same spelling and grammatical errors and focusing on the children. I’ve posted many of them here already.

Are you catching on everyone? He’s a liar plain and simple and nothing he claims can be believed.

Folks, I have the posts of these two Phonies and have posted just a couple to prove he is a liar and just makes up stories about his Military Service. His latest story is right out of Wikipedia. His classified VMS crap is also right out of Wikipedia and US NAVY.mil. I’m a member there.

He wants to take me on “one on one” when he’s already proven in his own words that he’s a liar and a fake.

Flag the idiot so he can come back as another loser like his other fake ID “Vinny” where hes a 10 year Army Sargent on another classified secret mission that he can’t talk about.

There you go loser, “one on one” only I backed up my posts with facts and your own words as proof. Why don’t you have the balls to admit to your lies, tuck your head up your A$$, take your bigotry and hate and Phony Soldier ID and leave us honest people alone?

Once again, Here you are caught in your lies. These are your words verbatim:

strtlk said: on Hollywood elites want to be taxed more 09/24/11 07:51 PM

“1. No idea where Bangor, WA is. I thought Bangor was in Maine!
2. What the heck is a “Boomer” or SSBN? You know what…I don’t care!
3. Reminding people that glenn was a dead beat dad is a factual statement about him, not his innocent children. Nice try though slime ball.
3. Either talk about something relevant and stop this, you are jason bourne crap!”

Caught in your lies strtlk.

Thanks for proving me correct.

Folks, strtlk/mtclayboy has been caught in his lies, He’s a lying sack of crap.

Rick Santorums the one.. The next president of The United States is right up there…
.It’s Rick Santorum!!!!.

This guy has no Obamacare, Romneycare on his back.. 
He is diciplined, not undiciplined like Newt. 
He doesn’t flip flop like Romney…
He has ALWAYS been pro life unlike Romney…..
He has a firm and strong understanding of foreign affairs unlike Ron Paul.
SANTORUM LIVES HIS PRINCIPLES!  He’s not perfect. Made a ocuple of mistakes, but for the most part, he’s the ONE!

SANTORUM IS PRINCIPLED!  He’s fought these fights a long time ago, and not just said it–he FOUGHT for the right things!

Rick Santorum’s the one that has it all together! 

WAKE UP AMERICA   BECAUSE I GOT TO TELL YOU—I GOT THE ROMNEY/GINGRICH BLUES!!!   THEY ARE BOTH CORRUPT AND SCARRED!    LET THEM BOTH GO, AMERICA, FOR GOD’S SAKE!  THEY ARE EXACTLY WHAT YOU DIDN’T  WANT!

AND RON PAUL—WE CANNOT HAVE HIM BECAUSE OF HIS VIEWS ON FOREIGN AFFAIRS!  

****IT’S RICK SANTORUM!    HE’S BEEN THERE RIGHT BEFORE OUR EYES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

AND YES!  HE “CAN”  BEAT  OBAMA!   RICK   WILL GIVE OBAMA HELL— AND  THEN SOME MORE!

WAKE UP AMERICA!

I am still waiting for one of them to say they will show their IRS records if Obama shows his school transcripts, school records and scores for tests taken.

Ron Paul is the only hope for America! As a member of our military forces I can assure you that if have Santorum in office we’ll certainly go to war with Iran over pure speculation. You don’t see us going to war with North Korea do you, and that have confirmed NUKES!? Romney is a capitalist pig and Newt is a daddy’s boy congressman! Obama is a great public speaker that is very convincing when you hear his lavish speeches! Don’t be fooled America, because unlike any other election this one will either make or break us all! RON PAUL 2012!!!

Amen!  Legalize Freedom! 

Has truth lost all meaning? This rant has no actual fact. For some one to admit they like some of the policies of past presidents does not make that a complete acceptance of that presidents policies. I really like many past presidents, but are not in complete support of what they have done. Andrew Jackson is a great example. His position on the federal reserve is awesome, his treatment of the Indians horrific. Glenn does not like that Newt shares some ideas from his list of unfavorable presidenets. Yet I can find many faults with Glenn’s favorites. Progressivism is a hundred years in the making and it may take a hundred more to undo. It’s a mindset, not a president, and is caused by lack of personal responsibility. All we can hope from a president is a repeal of Obama care and a good deal of cut backs. What’s in Newt’s past that actually says he’s not for this? Was it when he actually worked to cut taxes, regulations and entitlements? Or was it that balanced budget thing that bothers you so much?

Brooks is on the money.  Invite him on your show!

I have never heard Newt say anything remotely close to how you have characterize his views of the Declaration and the Constitution. I have listened to hours of his town halls, debates, meeting with moms, newspaper editors and the like. When has NEWT EVER spoken like this, ”Declaration of Independence is not important and the Constitution is ever changing.” You are an inspiration Glenn, I’ve heard you from your start on 970. I’m not able to hear it all Please post comments Newt has made directly regarding this     

dangerous Forien policy …  need i say more …

I have great respect for Santorum and agree with you 100% on his steadfastness and values. However, I have strong doubts that he can win the General Election against Obama. I think Newt can crush Obama in the debates and win significant voter approval in November. I believe Newt can crush Obama with Santorum as his VP. To satisfy some on the fringe, I also believe that Ron Paul deserves some respect and a seat at the table to help America fix its many fiscal problems. Every election cycle we waste waiting for the perfect Messiah or Mr. Goodbar, for you non-believers, we allow the liberals to do more damage. Newt can win!

Glenn, Newt may win South Carolina, but the chances of him winning the Republican nomination is very slim.  85% of women are disgusted with him. On the off chance that the world does start to implode & he actually did win the nomination – we have 4 more years of BHO.

I would not be so fearful of Ron Paul if someone got him brain surgery about Iran.  He has a lot of good ideas/thoughts but letting Iran go nuclear is insane.  Ahmadinejad has told us what he wants to do;l destroy Israel and America, Little Satan and Big Satan.  Islam insists on a world caliphate and in such a scenario, all must convert to Islam or die.  Some would die without even the option of conversion.  How can any thinking person look seriously into the history and practice of Islam and not see the danger?  Who are Iran’s friends?  Our ol’ friends, Russia, North Korea, China…..all helping them go nuclear.  India and Pakstan already have the bomb, and they got it without the US even knowing they were working on it!  Get real.  The world is on the edge of a complete economic collapse, a New World Order, an Islamic Caliphate and a nuclear Mid-East.  Paul’s isolationism would have us sitting around the back yard roasting hot dogs on the embers of what’s left of America. 

i must agree .. he has publicly confessed AND  asked  Forgivness and implies Redemption ..   so  the lord tells me give him a shot ,  Maybe , just maybe he has seen enough through his life to see the change and where its taking us ..  I could only hope and pray for such knowlage to be uised for good,  for once …..

Keep up the fear. It’s people like you that are the problem with this country. You think you have the right to tell other sovereign nations what to do. The Russians and the Chinese have already said they will not stand for us doing anything to Iran, because they are helping them get nukes. You would have us in another world war because of your fear. Ron Paul is no isolationist, in fact, you obviously have no clue what the term means.

I strongly believe that Newt can and will win the General election. I have great faith and support for Santorum, but do not think he can stand up against Obama. I would like to see Newt and Santorum as VP on the ticket in November. I also think that Ron Paul has a number of sound points regarding fiscal policy that should be given due regard. Every election cycle we wait for a messiah or Mr. Goodbar, for you not believers, we allow the liberals to maintain control and do more damage. Our willingness to shoot ourselves in the foot because of single-minded issues of any ideology are doing us more harm than good. “Defeating Obama” is the only single issue we should focus on right now.

Hey, it’s sticky chin, again. Spreading more lies? Yep, good little left wing drone.

Newt G. put down CNN.  For that, I am grateful for the plain direct speech. And the audience appreciated it.

Conservatism “n. the principles and practices of a conservative person or party; tendency to oppose change in institutions and methods”. S.C. must be real conservative, Romney, Santorum and Newt are just that the “STATUS QUO” nothing new here. They talk the talk, but don’t vote that way. DAMN people WAKE UP AMERICA !!! RON PAUL in 2012, small government, pay off our debt and the ability to stick to the Constitution. If you want Liberty and Freedom he is the only choice. In the words of The Who “Lets don’t get fooled again”

Glenn …..  well think for a moment  he has publicly confessed AND  asked  Forgivness and implies Redemption ..   so  the lord tells me give him a shot ,  Maybe , just maybe he has seen enough through his life to see the change and where its taking us ..  I could only hope and pray for such knowlage to be uised for good,  for once …..   Romney , well he’s apart of the establishments prop up Tons of money there ……  Santorum well he’s just not articlulating himself well .. Low polling …   Ron Pual  well  he’s great but blows it on the forien policys as ya know so that wont work ether ..  but  Newt  ?  well  i think  he can beat Oblabla  ..   so  instead of just commenting on  things and  give us  more  info we  need to fix  govt …  I  think we can all agree that the real problem is the govt as a  hole  ,  not  just any  one president  they all  have failed and all that comes to  office will fail unless  we correct the  govt  Senante  is  next ..  the dems denie that there party of  Reps  are corrupted and refuse  to  vote out  the  crooks ..  obviosly protected by union power/money ….

You only need to look at his past voting records.  The man knows a lot about the history, his voting record tells us he is NOT a constitutional conservative small gov type of guy.  His first “contract with America” NEVER CAME TO BE………in fact he reni gged on the entire idea.  I lived through this and many others……he IS a big Gov’t type of guy.  Glenn is right, you are only fooling yourself and lying to yourself if you think otherwise.

maybe you should get some spell check action

 I truly do not think Rick can beat O……….not with the dirty evil way this Administration fights.  Just saying.

ummm, why no mention for Ron Paul?  Neither party can win the election w/out votes from the independents, and Ron Paul has more support from the young (those once infatuated w/ Obama), as well as the independents than either Newt or Romney!!

dangerous?  what’s so dangerous about following the Constitution & actually DECLARING war?  He’s never said we (the US) should NOT defend itself, but he HAS said that when we need to, we should do it LEGALLY!! 

The US hasn’t tried to actually WIN a war since WWII, which is why we’ve been fighting in Afghanistan & Iraq for 10+ years!!

when has Ron Paul said he thought it was OK to let Iran have nuclear weapons?  Please show me that quote…

waiting…

waiting…

I’m an Independent voter; don’t belong to any political groups or any political party.
It is quite distressing to listen to all of you who will vote for Newt.  Are you all
progressives who have infiltrated a conservative site to let the majority of Glen’s
commentators think they are wrong?  Isn’t that what the media are doing?  Newt
is a plant for the progessive democrats.
Why not believe that there are 3 good men left who can better govern America
than Newt.  If you vote in this election by fear, fear is what you will have if
Newt is elected.  Haven’t any of you noticed that Newt never says I?  He always
says WE!  I do not believe that he is talking about his wife in the WE comment.
Who is behind him?
Please, you people out there who are voting for Newt,  you must do research
on Newt and his years in the House of Representatives as Speaker.  You can
obtain this by going into the US Congress archives or on C-Spans archives.
He is a progressive/social Republican.  Do some homework on this. 
If you are motivated by fear you will become fearful!

God Bless our America

If you feel the correct foreign policy for the U.S. is to spread our influence all over the world, at the expense of the taxpayer, why don’t you donate your money and your time to “defending america”? Our foreign policy is a disaster, and the only one that can clean the mess up is Dr. Paul. Whether you agree with me or not, there are several other issues that are just as, if not more important, than foreign policy. Such as overreaching regulations on business and citizens, the feds disasterous monetary policy, our immigration policy (beheadings and all), government spending overseas and domestic, interference in our private lives and much much more. Think about how a neocon or a progressive such as newt will deal with these issues. Probably a lot of the same ol’ b.s. we’ve been getting.

It’s people like me; you know all about me because I don’t worship at the feet of Paul. People who think like you are not worth the trouble of a dialoge because you only see what you want to see; people who agree with you. The rest of us are idiots, with no brain power, etc. etc. Call me when Iran goes off. See what you think then.

God Bless You!

but what would be the point in beating Obama when we replace him with a Prog that happens to have an R infront of his name.

Glern read what Christ says we as Christians should do if a brother repents.  Either you belive it or not, you practice it or not.  Quit trying to be a kingmaker please.
Romney and Santorum also have their blemishes as well as progressive charges made against them.  As far as Paul goes his reaction to past issues of his magazine told me all I needed to know about the man.

No Glenn, I’m not for Newt, but I certainly am not for Mitt, God forbid, It looks like there is no hope for Rick Santurom, and the only other one left is a big no no. The one most likely to have turned this country around, was disqualified by the media, for taking too long to remember the third thing he had said he would do if he became president. Shame on the nit-picking media. They may have just used the strongest tool that could possibly be used to finish destroying our country. The same people responsible for putting Obama in the Whitehouse, are going to be putting another one in worse than him.”Judge not a man based on his inability to polish his speach, but rather speaks the truth on his past good deeds, and his present unbelievable, success.” How can you support Israel and not support Rick Perry? I support Glenn Beck and Rick Perry. God bless you both

Waiting…waiting. Wait no longer. You really should get out more. Do you listen to the debates? I heard Ron Paul say it with my own ears. I was thinking good things about him until I heard that-the first time and several times since in re-runs etc. Being blind to the reality of our candidates is just as dangerous as being blind to Obama. I watch a lot of news coverage, read a lot of good stuff, and try not to let my personal feelings push me down a path I don’t think is right, just because I like the guy leading. I’ve been around a long time, and my mind is in great shape, tho’ the ol’ bod is flagging. If you think Paul is the best we have, you will be disappointed but it’s God’s mercy. Anyone that stands by and lets Iran go nuclear with nothing more than Obama’s “pretty please” is asking for it. I want a better world for my grandkids but we will be fortunate if there is anything left, let alone the free republic I grew up in.

–

God Bless You!

ezekial – what, you’re going to let a 1-minute sound-byte from what Ron Paul said about a few lines from a news magazine from 20+ years ago influence your decision?  So all the votes Paul has made which champion the Constitution mean nothing? 

I’m sure every one of us has said or done something from 20+ years ago which we may not be too proud of, but that does NOT reflect who we are now as a person. 

Even if Ron Paul WAS directly involved in the articles, and even if he DID know what was being printed, that was 20+ years ago, and he clearly does NOT hold those views now, nor does his actions in Congress show that he feels that way (just look at his voting record)!!

He asked for foregiveness and I will forgive, but surely doesnt mean I will vote for him cause he asked for forgiveness. If the Lord says give him a shot. I won’t argue with that.  I just hope your decision to vote for him is based on the tug in your heart and not that you think its the right thing to do. 

Is it just possible that Glenn turns his nose up at Newt because he is endorsing Romney? Seems plausible since both are Mormons.

ummm, actually, he NEVER said that – he DID say that he felt Iran was NOT a direct threat to the US… also, he advocates that IF they develop nuclear weapons and then tries to use them for evil purposes, then we can have Congress declare war.  He also stated that Iran can’t even get electricity to all it’s people (implying that they don’t have the capacity to develop full-scale nuke weapons) – which may or may not be true.

Besides, other countries have them (China, N. Korea, Pakistan, India, etc), and we’ve SOMEHOW come to terms w/ that & have been able to live w/ that…

the point is that we, as a country, cannot continue going around the world & playing judge, jury, & executioner – regardless of your moral belief on that, just the financial cost to the US taxpayer alone is dictating that our country can no longer afford to do ti!!

(P.S.  You still did NOT post the quote where he said he’d sit idly by & allow Iran to develop & use nuke weapons)!!!

Get a grip Glenn,  Romneys number are near the same level..  but i have not seen an ounce of anti Romney passion.   And Romney is an admitted progressive.  If you look at the actions of Santorum, so is he.  Lighten up.

Glenn Beck ~ What the he*ll is happening to YOU ?  Don’t you dare try to make me squander my vote because you do not agree.  Mitt is a flip flopper.  Only he or Newt can beat Obama at this time.  I cannot and will not vote for Mitt !!.  Newt is in reservef for me, if Independents  cannot bring us a better candidate before November 6th..  You called me a liar….I resent the implication !!!  You are only a talking head.  You used to be someone some people in the US were proud of.  Now only YOUR impression matters ?….Bull*shit !!!  You are wrong on this !!!!

I like Newt. I would not want Newt Gingrich to marry my daughter or Pastor my church; BUT I think he would make an excellent aggressive challenger that can actually win against Obama. After winning, he has enough insider understanding to know how to dig out the socialists programs that have been quietly passed under the current administration. We don’t need a wimp, like Romney, he is so easily compared to Obama that the left want him to run because they know if their first choice, (Obama) loses, they have Obama lite (Romney) to quietly work behind the scenes, to hold the fort till next time. Santorum is great, but he would not even make it through the first debate. He’s just not got the burn or the quick throw back under fire. Ron Paul is not a leader. In his looooong tenure in Congress, he has put forth many many pieces of legislation NONE of which have passed. This does not show leadership. He is a good old fashioned country Dr. Period.

Paul says he’s conservative but he thinks Israel should return their land to the Palestenians; that’s about as progressive liberal as you can get. He says he’s conservative but he thinks pot should be made legal; how much more liberal do you want? He is not a conservative, he’s a showman, a rabble rowser. He’s run three times now, 1988, 2008 and 2012 and every time, he rides barely above the low end of the scale and never rises any further because of his wild off the edge isolationist libraterian views. He loves the attention.

If Ron Paul gets the presidency, America will be dead. Ron Paul hates Israel so what do you think will happen. Iran will blast Israel off the face of the earth and then they will blast America. People just aren’t thinking straight in this thing. Maybe Ron Paul says things some of you like for America but, when he says Iran should be aloud to have a nuke, don’t you see where that will lead? Wake up and realize what you are doing for the country by voting for this guy. He thinks like he’s living in the 60s. I don’t think his brain has evolved to the year 2012 and it never will. Israel is our friend so why are you turning your backs on them? 

TOTALLY AGREE WITH GLENN—-In addition, Calista (although first ladies mean nothing) had an affair with a married man for 6 years! Both of them are just as despicable.

What do you expect from the south? All you have to do is say the right thing down there and have the GOP label applied to you. Then they love you!!! No matter what you’ve done.

Ya, you totally forgot to mention Ron Paul, Glenn. Again.

Constitution for President 2012

 They can fend for themselves. They have nukes. They have way too much influence in our government. AIPAC needs to go.

Memo to Glenn Beck
I’ve been a fan of yours & agree with you most of the time, but I don’t understand your problem with Gingrich, while you can support Mitt, Romney Care, Romney? 
Mitt Romney who’s favorite shoes are probably flip flops?
Mitt Romney who knows how to make money, but has trouble explaining to liberals how free enterprise works?
Mitt Romney who stutters & stammers as though he had a speech impediment & especially when he speaks about his taxes?
Mitt Romney who looks like he’s been trained to wear a plastic smile while debating, instead of just being real?
Mitt Romney has Planned Parenthood in his Romney Care, but no conservative counterpart & no safeguard against tax funded abortions?
If you’re so keen on conservatives & you believe Newt is a progressive, why wouldn’t you support Santorum, rather than the flip flopping, Romney Care Romney?

Ron Paul would be great-except for the farout foreign policy. But BOY would he ever make a great Sec. of Treasury.
  The only guy standing that will take off the gloves NEWT.  We need to defeat BHO first and formost.  Every thing after that is frosting on the cake.

Any of the 4 left in the race are better than that fool in the big house….only question is how quickly the right sort of change can be effected.

We need a decision maker (as opposed to the guy we have now…see http://devereauxdailydose.blogspot.com/ for some light reading on this….lol)….

We need a leader….

We need someone who can inspire us all….

Maybe, we need true conservative control of both houses and then force the guy in the White House to work with that? Under that scenario, maybe any of them will do?

You call it a dangerous foreign policy when he believes we should have a strong military who is equipped to guard and protect our American soil?  You have been listening to the media too much because they are completely wrong about his stand on foreign policy.  He believes we should go back to the way we used to deal with other countries….peace summits, negotiations, etc., but this invasion policy is getting us nowhere.  We’re going into practically every Middle Eastern country and we think we have a right to take down their leaders and decide how their countries should be run.  Things are going really well in Iraq since we took over there, right?  Wrong… It’s a disaster. 

Santorum is hardly a progressive.

He’s a warmonger who will do anything the Israeli lobby will tell him to do. Just like Obama.

By no means am I a foreign policy expert, but with the experience
of five deployments I will tell you that this way of thinking will only get
people killed and will solve nothing. As Americans we are raised up with one
main question… Why. We ask why about everything…. Go clean your room… Why? Why
do I need to study math? Why do I need to eat my vegetables? From a young age
we are raised that this is ok. I would say it is. This question could be argued
as to why our great society has grown from a British colony to a free republic.
So my rhetorical question to you is why do you think that dictating to another
contry what they can and can’t do is right? Where is your proof that Iran is
going to nuke us? You obviously have no defense experience. The United States
has multiple measures to counter a nuclear launch. The threat of a single
aircraft carrier has literally stopped unrest in regions in the past. Yet
people continue to think that we need thousands of troops, their families and
civilian personnel stationed overseas in countries like Germany and Japan
securing those countries sovereignty while spreading our military so thin as to
threaten the protection of our own sovereignty. People call Ron Paul an
isolationist, this makes no since to me. Since when does diplomatic channels
become Isolationism? I would argue that the idea that war is the answer mentality
is isolationism. When I was in Islamabad Pakistan, I would say that we(the
U.S.) was about 50/50, 50% liked America and 50% hated us. By conducting strategic
strikes on their soil we have diminished the amount of people there that are
pro U.S. By threatening and using similar type of tactics with Iran we are in
essence doing the same thing that we did to Pakistan, losing a war for the
hearts and minds of a country. The best thing that we could do to get rid of
that crazy in Iran is to support the people in a revolution against their tyrannical
government. As far as nuclear detonation is concerned, there is more of a
threat from missing nukes in Russia. So why are we so obsessed with Iran. If
you are going to support a war with Iran, than you should go and enlist at your
local recruiter or encourage your children to enlist in a combat unit, because
we will be stretched so thin that we will not be able to cover all the fields
of battle and maintain our sovereignty. By the way I still do serve my country
and I am NOT a liberal, just a concerned American.

Glen I can not for the life of me understand how anybody that calls themselves a conservative or a Christian Or a patriot or a constitutionalist can not support Ron Paul. I think these people are only playing at conservatism and probably don’t understand the meaning of the word.

Vote Ron Paul! If you want your country over run by muslims and your daughters hiding their faces in 2025. F@cking morons, go smoke some medical weed or something. IDIOTS!!!! or better yet ride the dragon like RP himself. I will say one thing, dope heads are loyal political supporters.

PS I dont care what Newt does on his own time or his past, at least he did SOMETHING. We don’t have time to wait for the next Jesus Christ, NO ONE IS PERFECT.. but anyone is better than Obama. GB you are getting out there these days. Have any of your medications changed? PSS (whisper voice) you think everyone is a progressive… #drinkingYourOwnKoolAid Mr.Beck Lots more important things you could be doing with your voice than telling everyone Newt is a progressive. PSSS the south doesnt like Romney guys deal with it.

It’s not your fault for believing that, Glenn has completely dropped the ball.  Gingrich is less progressive that Romney and Santorum.  That’s why I’m so pissed with Glenn.  If you look at records and voting histories it is blatantly obvious Gingrich is even less progressive than Ron Paul.

Glenn has failed us, he is failing to expose romney and santorum for what they really are, BGP’s.  The truly DESPICABLE thing is he calls gingrich out on his progressive views and uses examples that apply to Romney.  NEED PROOF??

Beck constantly says Gingrich is a BGP because he supported an individual mandate in 90′s yet he fails to mention ROMNEY INSTITUTED AN INDIVIDUAL MANDATE IN MASS.

Your gonna have to think for yourself on this one,  Beck has become a used care salesman.

It would seem to me you are only fooling yourself and lying to yourself if you think Romney has not been a big Gov’t type of guy & I saw Beck on O’Rellly’s show say if having to choose, he’d go with Romney. At least that’s what I thought I saw & heard.

I like you Beck, BUT I also like Newt…. Maybe I didn’t get your full progressive lesson??  I am sure you aren’t for Romney even though you are both Mormons, right?  So you must be for Santorum…. I could live with Santorum, but he won’t beat Romney unless Newt gives up… FAT chance…

dude it what he said and to be truthful i think all of them are big government losers. i did like how Newt haddle himself in the last debate. if you have info on the guy it would not hurt me to read it.

Someone answer this question… how could Satan offer Jesus the kingdoms of the world if he didn’t possess them? Matthew 4:8-11  Anyone who puts their faith in our political system or those running it is foolish.  God’s will be done no matter who’s in charge.  Read The Harbinger (or watch/listen to the author on youtube).  I will vote for anyone but Obama but will only put my faith in God the Father. 

True conservatives are almost extinct. When people who identify themselves as conservatives are presented with a true conservative, a no drama kind of person, they are lukewarm over him. Perhaps because there’s no craziness, people can’t feel the connection. We’ve grown to love the, sometimes manufactured, “reality” shows. People want a reflection of their won lives, thus the fascination with Newt. Have you noticed Mitt is steering clear from the entire thing. The last thing in the world he wants to do is engage anything whatsoever that has to do with marriage and open relationships! But, you know, he might beat Newt in the polls if he did. People would just eat it up.

I totally agree :=D We can only keep our own little world in order, and try to guide others as best as possible. His Will be done.

Are we talking about the conservative Rick Santorum who supports voting rights for felons, who would generally vote for the liberal democrat & not conservatives like Santorum? Doesn’t sound very conservative to me, or very smart.
Whatever people say about Ginrich, it can’t be denied that when he was speaker a lot of welfare reform & other good things got accomplished, in spite of the negative stuff.
 

I find it interesting that when Herman Cain a true conservative, was hit with the scandalous accusations, the progressives succeeded in destroying Herman’s campaign, so he had to crumble and back down.  Now the same is happening with Newt…  But……how does Newt handle all the accusations?  With outward defiance and this attitude has developed an approving following.  And among them are the American people who are desperate for a savior.  Could it be that there is more to this than we can see on the surface.  Perhaps, it is true that the progressives in power see the weakness in Obama and realize that he can no longer be the leader as originally designed.  So the progressives in their patient wisdom are not going to crush Newt like they did Cain, because in order to continue with the progressive agenda, they need a NEW leader……Newt,  whom they deem the leader of the “new world order”  Wow…. I find this revelation extremely frightening. 

interesting..and again I ask…. who is really running the show?

Newt=Obama.  Wake Up America!  There is only one true conservative and you know who he is!! This maybe the last time we get it right!

We already missed our chance with the best candidate running, the one true, honest conservative that we could have trusted to get the job done for America, Michele Bachmann.  There is nothing left to choose from, except these clowns running.  Can’t believe Beck wasn’t outraged that she stepped down and what was done to her in Iowa, but only silence.  And she is such a gracious lady, that she hasn’t gone on any interviews to slam anyone for what happened. 

Michele Bachmann would always say, “this is the last exit ramp to save our country”.  well folks, we just missed our turn off this road and there is no U-Turns allowed.  We missed out chance with Michele Bachmann.  Nothing left but clowns and progressives. 

Newt’s ex-wife looks like she was hit by a mack truck, even after all these years. She’s never gotten over it. Newt’s wife =USA post-Newt

Michele Bachmann didn’t have any baggage to claim, unlike the rest of these men running.  But the corrupt media, like FOX News and fickle Iowa voters and paid off Iowa Pastors that believed a woman shouldn’t be president and the GOP Machine and the likes of back stabbers like Palin and Trump and the Tea Party Patriots that didn’t support the one true person that fought for them.  We will get what we deserve.

You mean Rick Santorum, the guy that would have felons vote for the liberal of their choice & who voted for the Prescription Medicare & several debt ceiling increases? There are no perfect candidates & I suspect very few Tea Party members, including myself, would support voting rights for felons.
Newt has his problems & Rick seems like a great guy, but he often looks like he’s going to break out crying, when the going gets rough & maybe we need a brawler like Gingrich to duke it out with that Chicago crowd.
Having said that, I’m undecided between Santorum & Newt.

I’m an Independent, I didn’t vote for Obama before and I will Never Vote for him to stay in office…There is nothing OBAMA can say to Me or the People of the United States (who by the way, Belive in OUR FORE FATHERS And OUR CREATOR UP ABOVE): He has Said and Done enough… He has done nothing to restore the government to its rightful owner: THE PEOPLE OF THE UNITED STATES… He just wants to take it away FROM THE PEOPLE OF THE UNITED STATES… Watch him in his campaign in 2013 because He WILL BE THE MAN WITH THE SILVER TOUNGE… HE WILL DO AND SAY ANYTHING JUST TO GET RE-ELECTED… HE IS NOT LISTENING TO THE AMERICAN PEOPLE… HE IS SELF SERVING… THE WAY OF A TRUE KING IS TO SERVE THE NEEDS OF THE PEOPLE AND OUR ALLIES (ISRAEL FOR INSTANCE), NOT HIMSELF OR OUR ENEMIES… AND HE’S NOT GOING TO DO THAT… EVER.                                                                                                              

As for Mitt, I have issues with him, He kinda reminds me of John Kerry…  a Flip Flopper…       

Ron Paul, A sure NO Vote For Me

As For Newt and Santorum, I would vote for either of them as of now 

I am so mad at the Tea Party movement. You got our hearts pumping and got people fired up again.  Now you are dropping the ball.  It’s not just about getting a Republican in the White House.  What happened to dignity and honor.  Rick Santorum has all of this and more.  He would beat obama, and bring our country back where we can finally hold our heads up.  What will you do if something else comes out about Romney and Gingrich?  You won’t have to worry with Rick Santorum.  I am very proud of this man, and pray your eyes will be opened to how blessed we are to have him.  Sarah and Michele where are you guys?  Why would you make this man try to fund his campaign? Just saying, you’re letting me down. It won’t be a win for me if Rick doesn’t win. Back where we started, thank you very much.

Then who do you suggest we vote for Glenn?  Romney is totally progressive – has the same Wall Street bankers backing him as backed Obama in 2008.  He bankrupted the state of MA and made gay marriage legal – and no, it wasn’t the Supreme Court of MA who did that.  Read their decision people and you will know it was Romney.  Paul scares me with his foreign policy and his stand on Israel.   If we are only going to fight on our shores, which side of the US should we allow that to start on.   Isn’t it better to fight the wars on someone else’s shore?   I am in a complete connundrum as to who to vote for – this has never happened to me before.   I don’t believe Santorum has the charisma to win against Obama.  Sad but true, that is what draws some voters!!    And Obama must be stopped!!!!

Well said Glen, I wish you could get your voice out to more people before they make such a horrible mistake of voting for Newt.  I don’t understand people today, they don’t seem to care about eithics, character anymore, just the rah,rah,rah, like the Romans and the christians being fed to the lions.

I am for Romney, but if something happens to his campaign, then I would vote for Ron Paul, I cannot vote for Newt.

Newt = Nukes He scares me !!!! I myself want Ron Paul’s wisdom in the White House. Someone who doesn’t react with aggression. We’re walking on a tight rope and from what I can see nothing has worked to well for us at this point.

Oh, for petes sakes, he is running for President of the free world, not for dog catcher, I don’t give a hoot that he has asked for forgiveness, when did he ask for it when he started running for President?  I don’t think that counts.

I find it amazing that everyone is scared of Ron Paul’s Foreign policy. It’s easy to understand, at lest for me and I find it to be the safest thing for America… By the way America is the Main Priority, not Israel. America can’t protect Israel if it goes under.

SOOOO, Glenn, you would prefer OBAMA to Newt??  That is ASININE!!  Your drivel is hurting the COUNTRY!!!

SILLY- Paul has NO chance- throw away your vote- BHO loves you

Most people just don’t get it. Gingrich displays attitude. He comes across as the man who can take charge and get things done.I believe people are looking for a leader who they feel can take charge so they can worry less. Gingrich would probably be great in a debate against Obama. We don’t need the candidate who can twist the truth to gain votes. I would rather support a man I believe will stick to his convictions even at his own peril. This is why I support Santorum.

Vote Paul, AKA BHO– That vote is a throw away vote- YOU just reelected BHO–  IDIOCY

I just hope Beck is not suggesting Mitt over Newt.  If Newt’s a progressive, surely Mitt is a liberal.  Let’s support either Santorum, a conservative or Paul, a constitutionalist.

Given your post to be true, you just gave the USA 4 more years of disaster!!  SAD

I think it is all about power and the corruption that follows too much power.  The Tea  Party started out great, principled, morals intact.  Now, it has power and is throwing everything it stood for out the window when any of it’s members support Newt.  It’s all about winning and they are drunk in love with Newt and how he speaks. Please.  Same with Palin.  How she could ever support Newt on any level is beyond corrupt.  Her actions speak volumes. Same goes with the evangelicals.  Unbelievable- they shouldn’t want to touch Newt with all his personal baggage.  We are truly witnessing the end of morals.  Should this man get the nomination, the conservative party will never be taken seriously again.  Their new slogan should be “Do as I say, not as I do”.

Wow, I was waiting to hear from you. Too many things about Newt do not line up for me. Thank you for clearing it up and being blunt. You always are. LOL!

We are all being played.  I am to the point of not trusting anyone, or votes for that matter.  Good example is IOWA- what the heck?  Eight precincts missing and no clear winner.  I have a feeling that is just an appetizer to the general election results.

Sure, let’s elect the liberal from Massachusetts who’s flipped more times than a circus clown. If you think your Boy Mitt can beat Obama you better think again. Just remember this Glenn, Romney’s Nomination equals Obama’s inauguration. Newt is our only chance of beating the “long Legged Mac Daddy”!!

I am buying food storage because I have no confidence that anything is going to  change for the better in Washington.  Oh, praying a lot helps. But, I can’t vote for Gingrich.

How is it that Mr. Beck, who likes the leadership and integrity of George Washington and the Founding Fathers, continues to COVER UP Obama’s illegal presidency??!!!  Well, Mr. Beck, “It’s on your head!”

“Silence in the face of evil is evil itself: God will not hold us guiltless. Not to speak is to speak. Not to act is to act.” ~Dietrich Bonhoeffer~

So what you are saying is that anyone is better than Obama, except Romney, because the south doesn’t like Romney?  Religious bigotry at it’s finest.

Paul is the only candidate that votes with the
constitution. The other three and Obama would declare war on Iran… Last time I
checked a declaration war is declared by congress not the President… How is
voting for Paul a throwing away your vote? Stop allowing the media and talk
show host decide who your President will be. Research the candidates and make a
decision don’t allow the media to research it for you that is all miss information
about who the flavor of the week is. By saying someone is throwing their vote
away, you are putting yourself in with the likes of Keith Olbermann and Chris Mathews.
Last time I checked this was still a free country where we the people had the
right to make our own decisions.

You are not a fan of Beck because he does not support Romney, he supports Santorum. Have you ever listened to his show?

Beck is 100% right on this and he is entitled to his opinion as you are.

Why would you say USA?…. I see you posted in a Toronto News paper, you are a Canadian arnt you?

I am appalled at what I see happening in our politics.  Truth seems to have gone by the wayside, to the point that few can understand it when it is spoken.  What many are calling “dangerous, or idiocy” is simply truth and courage to stand for our Constitution.  I am afraid many Americans are going to vote just for who they think may beat Obama, even if it means compromising our principles.  We are basically selling our Heritage for a bowl of pottage.  Wake up America!  There is more at stake than just an election.  Where is your conscience?

I used to be anti-Newt, but after hearing him take on that slimy little race-baiting Juan Williams and put him in his place in the last debate, and THEN take on John King and the whole Mainstream Media in THIS debate and call those presstitutes out on how they continually launch personal attacks on every GOP candidate WHILE SIMULTANEOUSLY COVERING UP OR NEVER COMMENTING ON ANY OF OBAMA’S ACTIONS AND POLICIES TO TURN THE USA INTO A SOCIALIST WELFARE STATE, I said to myself, “This little Newt guy is the only GOP candidate I’ve seen with the BALLS, the KNOWLEDGE, and the KILLER INSTINCT enough to take on the OBAMA/SOROS PROPAGANDA MACHINE and KICK THEIR ASS!  Romney is just another Milquetoast McCain as far as I’m concerned.(Sorry, Glenn to criticize your Mormon buddy, whom I know you want to win, but dammit, we need a MAN not a boy, to take on this EVIL MACHINE that is bent on destroying us all!)
This country simply cannot survive 4 more years of Obama!!!  We need an ATTACK DOG to defeat him and his George-Soros-funded BILLION DOLLAR campaign fund.  If Newt is a Progressive he’s nowhere near as bad as Obama, who demeans and weakens the USA in every way he can, in order to promote the Granddaddy of All Progressives, GEORGE SOROS’ version of ONE WORLD GOVERNMENT.  I just don’t see Gingrich KISSING ASS TO THE MUSLIM WORLD like Obama does!!!  I don’t see Newt FIGHTING TO KEEP OUR BORDERS OPEN or to KEEP GIVING FREEBIES (up to $50,000/year in entitlements) TO ILLEGAL ALIENS OR PARASITES ON WELFARE, PAID FOR BY WE THE MIDDLE CLASS TO BUY VOTES FOR THE DEMS LIKE OBAMA DOES!!   YES, Obama IS a Progressive!  But Gingrich?  COME ON, GLENN!!

I appreciate your reply. So many just call others names who don’t agree; you gave good, sound reasons for your opinions. That I respect. It’s hard to put a whole concept and the reasons in a short paragraph. I agree, dipomacy is good, and when possible, is the best means of settling differences. No, we can’t be the world’s police. I’ve said that myself. But the concern about Iran having the bomb is not the same as the other nations having the bomb. They are fuled by crazy people. Mutually assured destruction kept Russia and the USA from trading bombs, and a lot of other factors weigh in on the whole thing. But Iran is different. When it was pointed out to Rafnanjani that if Iran sent a nuke on Tel Aviv, Israel would deploy the amson option. They would send all they bombs they could into Iran, enough to near destroy the whole place. The typical radical Muslim answer was good; all Muslims who die in Jihad go to Paradise and meet their 72 virgins! You don’t think that’s nuts? Ahmadinejad is nuts, but he’s ruled by the fanatical Mullahs of Iran. The Shia Muslims of Iran are Twelvers. They believe the12th Imam is soon to come. He is the Mahdi of Islam. When Muhammad died, he left no heir, and two men vied for the spot. One was his son-in-law Ali, the other a Caliph from the area by Medina. Some chose sides, and others didn’t care but like all matters of Islam, it was a bloody battle. One Imam after another was killed, and when it reached the point where the next in line was a very young boy, to keep him alive, his family hid him. The legend says they hid him in a well, and later Allah took him to a secret cave to grow up. He’s been hiding there since. We’re talking about 1,400 years. The Twelvers believe he wants to come now but he cannot come until the world is filled with the carnage of war that he will step into and win for Islam. Then Jesus, whom they call Isa will come back, and admit he lied about being God, He wasn’t crucified, and He really does hate the Jews. He will kill Jews to prove it, and serve Mahdi as they set up the World Caliphate. Mahdi will rule for 7 years. Sunni Muslims do not believe this. They have an end time scenario but it’s not the same as the Shia’s. I’m no foreign policy expert but I do know history. Hitler made his plans known in his book, and by the direction his rise to power traveled. Back then, Iran was stilled called Persia. They bonded with Hitler because of the Jews; it was Hitler who suggested they change their name to Iran. It means Aryan. Muslims have been fighting each other for centuries, and don’t mind killing their own people, for the radical things they believe. Ahmadinejad insists the Holocaust didn’t happen, but that it will when he destroys Israel. I admire your service to our country, and am confident from you post that you love the country and served well. The fact of the matter is that the media and our government does not tell us the truth about the Middle East. Our whole country is ruled by politics anymore. Few of them truly have a burden for the nation of the people. Why else would they saddle the future with 16 trillion in debt? Freedoms are eroding. Society is getting trashy, and our culture ridicules what we used to honor. I love America, too. I get teary eyes at the national anthem and Mine Eyes Have Seen the Glory. I have studied our history and much of the rest of the world’s. “People like me” are not a threat; we are the watchmen on the walls. Look at the inroads Islam has made in America. We have hundreds of Mosques, which is OK but go find a Muslim nation where they will let Christians build a church, or Jews a Synagoge. Muslims in Somalia, Indonesia, Pakistan, India, and Iran are killing Christians, burning the churches. In Saudi you would be arrested if you had a Bible, and killed if you didn’t denounce the faith. If you were even let in the country. Shaira Law is what they want. The so-called Arab Spring was an organized uprising of radical Islam. They are working toward a world wide Caliphate. Now, the Muslim Brotherhood is taking power in Egypt, and they are talking of dropping the treaty with Israel. Assad killed 4,000 of his own people to stay in power. You know what the Butcher of Baghdad was like. The Muslims are slowly taking huge ground in Europe. They believe that land once held by Islam is theirs forever, and if lost MUST be taken back by the sword by order of Allah. That’s why they hate the Jews in Israel so much. Under the Ottoman Turks Islam had Palestine but after the WWI they lost it and the conference divided it into the nations of today. The Treaty was ratified in 1923, and if Israel doesn’t exist, neither do the other nations formed by that same treaty in Yalta. The story about Jerusalem being the 3rd holy place of Islam is a sham. Mecca and Medina were their holy places. To stake a claim, they came up with the story that Muhammad made his midnight ride on Barak, his white horse, riding from Mecca to the Mosque of Al Aksa on Mt. Moriah, and then to heaven. The Mosque of Omar, on the mount today was not a mosque. A rich Arab built it in the 700′s for a friend who was a Jew. He saw his friend weeping at the foot of the mountain, and when he asked why he wept, the Jew told him of the Jews’ sorrow over the loss of their Temple in 70 AD by Rome. So the Arab built him a house of prayer. In modern times, no one told more lies than Arafat; he didn’t even know the Mosque of Omar didn’t have a pointer in it, toward Mecca. His cousin pointed it out. ALL mosques are built with the pointer toward Mecca, so he quickly had one put in! The Arabs think they have a foot hold in Jerusalem with their claims about the Mountain. It’s all based on a lie. These people are not rational. If Iran gets the bomb, they WILL bomb Tel Aviv, and that is the population center of Israel. 1.5 million of their people. When they had Palestine, they didn’t want it or value you. It was a wilderness. But the Jews have made it bloom as a rose, and found it’s wealth, so now everyone wants it. That tiny nation is all the Jews have but Islam won’t be satisfied until all the Jews are dead. It’s NOT about the land; it’s the hatred taught in the Qur’an. Check into the schools of Islam. Hate and silly lies are taught the kids from 1st grade on. You can call me anything you want to. I know what I know. And, I know Bible Prophecy. So far, it has a 100% record of fullfilment, so I expect the rest will come to pass right on schedule. Already the nations are lined up for the One World of Antichrist and the War of Gog-Magog. Ez. 38-39. God bless America.

God Bless You!

Actually I have been a fan of Beck’s & watched his show religiously when it was on Fox. I saw him on the O’Reilly Factor recently & I thought when O’Reilly asked him who he was leaning towards, he said Romney. Maybe I misheard.

Vote Santorum, true conservative , with detailed actionable plans , person of integrity and honesty ; person you can trust. When he got the time to voice his opinions, as in thursday debate he clearly showed his passion and ability to debate, he can win over Obama
look at how far he has gone with so little money, just think if he had the money for campaigning he could surely win over Obama

Things sure do get scrambled. I know what I heard Ron Paul say, and yes, he did also say Iran was not a threat. That’s nuts. They are the biggest threat the world faces aside from our debts and such. I did NOT say anything about him sitting idly by; you got that from some other post, or interpreted something to mean that. I have also watched Ron Paul in interviews, and listened to him, hoping that he would come around a bit about things. He is right about the fact that we have meddled too often in affairs that were none of our business. Oddly enough the whole world has their hands out for money from the USA but object if we try to protect our investments. I agree with Paul about a lot of what he says, and not just on domestic issues. But with Iran, he is off the charts, and you can’t convice me otherwise. I have studied too much, and know too much about Islam and the whole business. Iran is run by crazy people. They have openly threatened repeatedly to destroy Israel. Other radical Islamic leaders have done the same. They teach their kids to hate from infancy on. Schools teach horrible stuff about the Jews. I once watched an interview of a Muslim mother who praised Allah that she had 9 sons to give him in Jihad! Yes; 4 of them already died in suicide missions, and she pledged the other 5 and wished she had more sons to give Allah. Don’t tell me that is sane! I have taken the time and spent the money to hear former Muslims speak, as they warn us about Jihad. Walid Shoebat for example. I bought his books and DVD programs. I had dozens of other DVD documentaries about the topic. I have listened to interviews with Christians men who were Islamic. They fled their countries to avoid an honor killing. Son of Hamas is a book written by a young man who is now Christian, living in America, who grew up in Hamas in the Gaza, the son of a leader in Hamas. He was even in prison by Israel for his activities. If you get your news from the media, you won’t know the truth. You have to go out of your way. I have a large library, and a number of books written by godly men who tell the truth about Islam. Do you remember Zhudi, the moderate Muslim often seen on Tox? Well, he is the real deal, and has made documentaries himself, trying to get the word out that radical Islam is not true Islam. He laments that moderate Muslims don’t object to the violence and hatred, but he also explains why they don’t. It’s commanded in the Qur’an! To please Allah, they must engage in Jihad. They could be kept out of Paradise if they don’t. So get real about Iran, and then tell me that Ron Paul should be our president when he doesn’t have a clue what that bunch is up to!!!! Iran says it will, and it will drop a bomb on Tel Aviv. That kills a 1/4 of the people in all of Israel! If they do, Israel has promised the Sampson option. They will trigger all the weapons they have poised for Iran the second they detect an incoming nuke; it will mutually destroy Iran but Ahmadinejad and his crazy Mullahs don’t care! They will be underground and “safe” and all the millions of Iranians who would be killed have an instant, one-way ticket to Paradise! All who die in Jihad go to Paradise, no matter how evil they were. Uh huh. And if you want a quote, look of Rafnanjani, who was in power before Ahmadinejad, because he said so in a speech and in diplomatic talks. And the nut they have now is crazier than he was. Ahmadinejad believes he is the one who must usher in the Mahdi, a messiah type of Islam. But he cannot come until the world is in caos and war has made a carnage of the world. He wants to start that war, to bring the Mahdi. It gets even worse, so before you yawn at me, do the homework and study and research I’ve done. Then we can talk.

God Bless You!

So who is the Conservative Candidate?? From what I can tell Santoram possibly is.
 He says he is a full fledge conservative without baggage
Gov. Romney is solid, but progressive and can help make money, Newt and Ron Paul is also progressive. Newt has a powerful personality, Ron Paul is drawing the young, because they feel he will not send them to war.
They forget the Congress and Senate and the World Security will decide if they will go.
 Not the President.
 So after reading your concerns, I wonder who is the one to lead this nation during very dangerous and turmoil times
God help us to be wise and seek His guidance and make the right choice.

I’m a Libertarian voting for Romney. I don’t think America is quite ready for Libertarianism but we are beginning to understand the ideas. Gingrich is a bombastic, loud, vicious man. He knows politics but he is not honest. He has no real philosophy nor any real ideology. He is a politician.He is not a man of integrity. It is scary that people are willing to give him standing ovations. It is almost as mindless as those who voted and hooted and hollerd for Obama 3 years ago. Romney is circumspect, careful, a true believer in free enterprise  who has lived it with his own life, a man that knows we can not foist ideas  on people in one big blowout. I trust him more. thank you Glenn for reminding us of why we went to Washington. It was not for Gingrich. PLEASE!  Libertarian in California

Sounds Neville Chamberlain – ish

I see that you are a historian now and I do appreciate that. I am one too. I think the problem that people have right now is who is the best for the job. The thing that I will tell you without delving to deep into it is that the military, both ours and our allies have plans, for just about anything. The military has some very sophisticated equipment and some very motivated personnel. I sleep well at night, and so should every other American. What this particular conversation boils down to is foreign policy. For me personally I do not consider Romney, Santorum or Newt as good for this country. All three have publically said that they would go to war with Iran, now the problem with that is it is not the Presidents function to declare war. It needs to go through Congress. If we have a President running around declaring war on countries than we inherit a dictator over night. If you have a President that will wipe his rear with our Constitution than you will not be in a free nation any longer. I think that is at the core of this topic. I do not stand opposed to War (obviously). I do however stand for the constitution that I swore to support and defend. What do we gain from declaring war with Iran if we lose our freedom in the mean time, not to mention loosing the resources and man power to defend our nation due to spreading our forces to thin. You should research about countries spreading their forces to thin…. They all either lost part of their country or territories (England included, ie America) or they collapsed. I think that this process needs to start with the people of Iran. There are people in that country that do not agree or want that crazy as their leader; this is how you fight that type of war. Conventional Military action will get us nowhere with Iran it needs to start with their people. If what you say is true, than a war with Iran would be exactly what that they want. As far as Ron Paul goes, I would follow his orders in to war, not because I worship him (as the media would have you think) but because I know his orders would be lawful and deliberate and from military doctrine and strategy(as opposed to previous presidents). It does us no good to have our service members (me included) die because of indecision and stupidity. I think anyone would agree, there is a right way to do something, and a wrong way. I am in a combat unit, and the majority of troops I know support or agree with Paul’s type of tactics.

i am confused….newt is progressive…romey is to moderate…santorium cannot get elected..you say newt cant be elected..ron paul cant..so just pray tell what do we do…4
more years of obama’a passng the wealth around and increasing gov. interference, control, and as he said “fundamentally changingt America” burning our constitution”, doing exactly as he pleases like a dictator tell me glen just what DO WE DO?

Santorum voted for Medicare prescription.

Romney did Romney Care.

Newt sat down with Pelosi.

Ron Paul thinks a nuclear Iran is no big deal.

In other words, no perfect candidate & Ronald Reagan has left the building.

Whatever is said about Newt, a lot of welfare reform & other good
things happened when he was House Speaker, in spite of the negative &
with Chicago Marxist in the White House, maybe we need a fighter
like Gingrich, who says he’s found God.

Maybe we should believe him, forgive him & go with a guy who got results when he was House Speaker, even with a Pres like Clinton.
Compared to what Newt did for the good, aside from the negative, as House Speaker, what have the other candidates accomplished with their years in politics?

Just asking.

Newt, like putting lipstick on a rino.

Good catch.  It is sick that Beck’s followers are not concerned about Beck’s hypocrisy in not being fair and objective and at least saying that Romney is hideous for being for the same things.

The reason that Beck does not do this and only goes over the top on Newt is out of rage and revenge.  Also, if he went into Romney, it would be so easy to see how Romney is by far worse. 

However, I believe it is possible that once Romney gets the nomination, Beck will go into Romney and expose him a bit so that Obama will win.

If you are so concerned about progressive infiltrators, then you would balk at the thought of Romney.  Romney has that infiltrator look and talk all over him.  Hence, everyone in media readily admits he has an authenticity problem.  On the other hand, Newt is an open book.  He is not afraid to take on tough interviews and questions and answer them without evading the question as Romney.

What is Mitt hiding in dodging questions?  Perhaps the fact that he is a hard-core liberal.

Beck has never been 100% right as he only reveals half the truth at any point. 

Santorum, 1st choice and the Newt, second.  I can’t accept either Romney or Paul. For people of prayer this is a REAL test of Faith and hearing God speak. It is a shame that Republicans, Conservatives and Independents are so divided. Even people of faith are divided and supporting people that are suspect. I pray God that you give us clarity regarding this election and help us realize this could be something we are not yet capable of seeing with your eyes, YET!

I agree with Glenn, Gingrich will lose against Obama.  The demoncrats will destroy him and the GOP if Gingrich is the nominee, which he won’t be. It would all be about Newt, and not about what this election is about — $Money$!  Romney is the only ‘electable’ choice against Obama. Presidential Elections are decided by Independents.  in 2008 Independents voted Obama, this time they’re looking for someone else.  This is why Romney is the best choice for the GOP.  Both Gingrich and Santorum are too extreme for Independents and disgruntled Dems to support.  GOP primary voters have vote for the one with the most electability.  It’s not about who’s the most conservative, it’s about who’s the most electable.  Romney is moderate on some issues, and this is a good thing.

Glenn, you continually amaze me! I don’t know how you’ve managed to have your head up your own ass and Romney’s -but you have managed to do it~ wake up you idiot- Romney is worse than NEWT! But really, they’re all the same. Cain was the only real candidate who could have done the job…

Progressives did a lot for this Country.  Child labor laws … 8 hour work days … conservation … trust buster … a common man rising to the office of the President … not all that bad Glenn.  You’re prospective on these men is almost irrational.  Keeping ‘big business” from ABUSING their power and authority wasn’t a bad thing.  ‘Rejoice with me; I have found my lost sheep.’ Maybe you should take a second look and start listening without bias or prejudice.

I appreciate your thoughtful post, and have one comment I feel inspired to share. Ha. I’m aware that all countries have plans for various possibilities that may befall then, and war plans for hostile events, etc. That’s why Israel has the Samson Option in place. That’s why countries engage in war games, and run drills to be prepared. How’s that working so far? We had plans for planes in forbidden air space on 9/11 but do you know that not one plane got up until it was all over? Where was NORAD and all that-Control knew the highjacked planes were not supposed to be where they were. They should have been shot out of the sky. Harsh; yes, but reality. Our borders are wide open. Terrorists are coming in on a regular basis, and don’t think they come with just a change of undies. How well do we respond to that? Our own government bought over 2,000 guns, and lost track of them, so now the drug cartels have most of them, and one of those guns killed a border guard. Speaking of keeping us safe; Obama gave the Russians our best missile defense in Europe and got nothing for it, not even a bottle of Vodka, as far as we know. Maybe he got a tin of cavier. He up and pulled all the troops out of Iraq, in spite of concerns by men on the ground, and the next day, terrorists started killing people. Iran was standing there waiting for the door to slam shut so they could move in. Obama butted in on Libya with no congressional support, but ignored all the rest of the Middle East. Assad in Syria was the worst; he killed 4,000 of his own people. Ahmadinejad does that all the time. the Muslim Brotherhood moved into Egypt as soon as they got Mubarak out the door, and Obama asked for that. All the preparedness in the world will NOT have us ready for everything that could happen. Obama has already curtailed our freedoms more than Iran can, unless they send an EMP our way. That is a nuclear warhead that is detonated overhead, in the atmosphere. The pulse sent out by such a device would move in a ripple effect over 3/4 of the whole United States, and instantly kill everything that runs on electricity. Everything. Hospital equipment, lights, heat, cars, computers, phones, all tech stuff, and airplanes in the sky couldn’t land. The devastation in the nation would put us back into life as it was in the mid 1800′s-but we don’t have oil lamps and such anymore. People on life support machines would die; no one could heat or cool their home, or have any electrical device that would work. Battery radios? Sure, but studios couldn’t broadcast. No gas pumped, even if trucks worked, so no good delivered to the stores. No banks could operate. You get the picture? Are we prepared for that? Do you trust our government to get in front of such a device? The guys coming across the border could be bringing in toxic things for air and water pollution. We couldn’t stop 19 terrorists on 9/ll. Can we catch all of those with suitcase bombs? So I agree, conventional warfare won’t go far in Iran; we should have joined up with Israel, and used bunker buster bombs and destroyed their nuclear facilities before they got them underground and scattered so that to bomb them NOW means a lot of innocent civilians will die. I’m glad you can sleep at night, but with Obama in the WH, the economic disaster looming over the whole world is enough to keep me awake except for one thing. It’s all part of the biblical end time scene, and so God is in charge. Jesus will come, and judgment will fall but Christians have hope. So I do sleep well, but not for the same reasons you do. Glad you like history. So you know, the men who don’t learn from history are destined to repeat it. You can’t study history very long without learning that.

God Bless You!

Glenn I Love you and have supported you for many years.  I agree with you on soooo many issues, until the Republican Primary Started.  I support Newt Gingrich mostly for his Ideas on Foreign Policy.  No progressive would move the American Embassy in Israel from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem on His first day in office like Newt has swore he will do.

Haha! Dangerous foreign policy. Did you get that from Fox News, Glenn Beck or some other paid entity or can you think on your own? So yes, you do need to say more.

I think by you stating that ” Ron Paul is drawing the young, because they feel he will not send them to war” is a bit of an understatement. ANYONE that is voting for Ron Paul understands not only his Christian, but intellectual and peacefully sound beliefs. You then wonder who is going to lead our nation during this very dangerous times – have you bothered to look up Dr. Paul’s stance on the world wars? He is the ONLY one in favor of ending them, cutting EVERYONE’S taxes, stop giving hand outs to those that are taking advantage of it while still relieving those in true need. Dr. Paul has been consistent in his warnings to the US and unto the world – and he leaves us with a very important decision to make – and I pray to God that we chose the right one. The more that we are led into war – the MORE tax dollars we will pay, the higher inflation will go, the more the value of our dollar will decline – and THEN where will we be? And, by the way, the CURRENT troops support Ron Paul because I’m sure that they would love to come home to their families – get the PROPER medical treatment outside of a VA “camp” and be placed back to work – not on unemployment – defending our American soil. 

The problem is, and unfortunately, most of the world agrees, Americans this day and time are not conservatives themselves, no matter what “label” they have while voting. We are too busy worrying about scandals of other candidates rocking the boat and who said what, who is the better business man and who can ” make us the richest economy” until we really lose sight of a major issue – we are being sold out and used as slaves in our own country – and for those that would like to sit back and take part in the popularity polls for Romney ( who can’t answer a question with a straight face to save his life) and Newt ( who may I remind you was fined for poor ethical practices, is a habitual cheater and loud mouth), I will certainly cast my vote for the only candidate that has done more for this country than all of the others – a 12 term elected Congressman that doesn’t take NO for an answer and NEVER SELLS out, BACKS down, nor has to tear anyone else down for him to leave an impression on the people.

@ Glenn Beck — Are you unaware that there are four candidates running for the Republican nominee? You only mentioned three in the beginning. Guess which candidate you forgot? Surprised? Neither am I since I’m staring at a paid ad campaign endorsing Romney on your site.

When I posted this I made a bet that a Paulbot would no doubt take what I said exactly this way.  So here goes.  There is not one candidate that exactly fills the bill I have for a leader of this country.  But here is the clincher we all have our issues.  Paul would have been better off by saying he was wrong than to say he did not read the magazine.  Action such as that can be equated with Obama not knowing what Jeremiah Wright was preaching at the church he attended.  
The most I hope for is that I vote for the best person for the job as right now no one man has all the answers.

This is vintage Glenn, and he’s absolutely right!  Gingrich has a great mind, but bad decision making skills, better suited to be an advisor than President.  Santorum is the best of the four, and I hate to say this, but Romney is #2.  At least he’s an honorable guy that you could trust.  Gingrich would cuddle up to Dingy Harry and Stretch Pelosi who are amongst the least honorable people you’ll ever find.

Very true about history repeating itself, that is my
exact point. We do not need a dictator. We, I think have learned that from different presidents (ie history). By casting in with a president that will
pick and choose out of the constitution what fits him, that is what you gain, another dictator type administration. Our founding fathers were smart men, it would behoove some people to listen to their writings and look at these candidates with that in mind. I am not trying to change your mind, or anyone else’s for that matter. I just hate seeing people get wrapped around the axle on an issue
(war) that isn’t the presidents to declare.

As far as an EMP. Honestly I am not going to talk about missile defense (not my specialty) and military tactic on a public forum. But let’s just say, that if you have thought about it, someone in DoD has planned for it.

As far as 9/11. I think allot of mistakes were probably
made that day. Pre-9/11 the American public and the military were not thinking the way we do now. Allot has changed since then, I was in the military before 9/11 and have seen the change. We as a country have made mistakes and it is our job to learn from those mistakes and apply them to our lives.

You are right about plans, they can fail. No one and
nothing is perfect. We have a saying in the military, no plan survives first contact, meaning when you initially come under fire everything goes to hell.
But when you are in a tight spot, you always fall back on your training and your experience that is your compass so to speak.

I understand your concern with all the possible scenarios on the what ifs, but you can’t what if it to death. As we type, I have friends down range protecting our freedoms; we have people monitoring situations and things going on. Can any of that fail, YES. But it is what we have and it is the best in the world. But if we continually stretching ourselves so thin than we will lose the military superiority that we have. By closing unneeded bases (wasting funds and personnel) and using a more strategic approach to the way our military is deployed rather than let’s take all these troops and move them here, now let’s take them and move them here. That is a shell game that we will lose. It really boils down to this, would you rather protect Germany, England,
Japan, S. Korea, Italy, etc. border or our own? As far as Iran, if we are talking absolutely everything failed and war is emanate scenario, either we do
it lawfully and maintain our constitution or we have a dictator declare it. This is what this really boils down to.

I hate to say this, but I do believe you have hit upon the game plan.

Supporting Romney, who instituted RomneyCare in Massachusettes is supporting the same type of cat of the same color (leopard or panther).  Either will feast on your bones.

Why do people feel Santorum can’t get elected?  He’s made for red states, and he can tip the scales in swing states that are really hurting because they are blue collar hard working folks.  Paul is crazy, Newt is unelectable, and Romney on his own isn’t electable either (he needs the right VP candidate to avoid becoming John McCain & Bob Dole).

Define crazy. Since we are on “Glen Beck’s” website here – let’s discuss Christianity. Is it crazy to live by the golden rule, where we leave others alone, if we don’t want the same exact fate to land on our door steps? Is it crazy to consider yourself a conservative and want your money to be backed by gold – instead of running up “credit cards” full of imaginary money that you don’t have? Is it crazy to believe that our TROOPS that fight FOR US – want to come home and deserve to come home to stable employment in America instead of being shipped off to war? Is it crazy to want to stop giving away free money to those that do not and will not work? 

Perhaps you should focus less on spelling and more on content.

strtlk, just how many names do you have?  I’d simply like to put them all down in a list so everyone would know when you double-post.

We can 
a. kiss the muslim world’s ass.
b. piss them off even more and go to more wars and put more American’s at risk. 
or..
c. cut the purse strings and let them fend for themselves and mind our own damn business.

He isn’t the progressive the LSM wants you to believe he is. He is actually a died in the wool conservative. The closest he gets to being a prog is that he realizes that the cost of health care is a problem and he wants to do something about it… but NOT Obamacare or socialized medicine.

Michelle, I’m pretty sure most main streamers have a hard time understanding Dr. Paul’s use of big words. People are so ready to discredit him. What I want to know, if Israel is such a big priority for us, why are we feeding money from China to Israel’s enemies? I don’t think that most Americans really have a clue about how much other countries HATE us. 

Yes, Newt is unquestionably a progressive.  But so is Romney and Santorum.  The majority imposing its values on the minority is not and never has been conservative.

I find it odd that Ron Paul blows up on the internet and gains momentum by people that are slowly pulling their heads out of the sand and then here comes a threat of our internet freedoms being taken away from us. 

Actually, Iran isn’t a big deal. UNTIL we start pushing their buttons and China and Russia step in to back Iran and not the US. Romney and Newt are looking for that big red button right now as we speak. Also, food for thought. I pay 18% income tax right now – but Romney when asked how high he thinks is fair for income tax, he said that over 35% WHICH IS THE LEGAL LIMIT – is unfair. Hmm….35 is higher than 18. I don’t like his math. 

Newt Gingrich the “blatent big government Progressive” who is campaigning for a flat rate Federal income tax of 15% (so that the Federal Income Tax rate is the same as the current Federal Capital Gains Tax rate) and who has a 90+ conservative voting record in Congress – year after year.

Newt Gingrich does praise some very dubious people (for example both Roosevelts) and YES he is not a pure get-rid-of-every-entitlement-program-right-away person.

However, someone who did not pay lip service to American icons like “Teddy” Roosevelt and “FDR” would have no chance of being elected President (Ronald Reagan made very similar statements). And someone who pledged to get rid of every unconstitutional welfare state program (as Ron Paul does) would not win a single State.

So the real complaint againt Mr Gingrich is not that he is a “big government Progressive”, it is that he is a POLITICIAN – something he has never denied. Unlike his main opponent who has been campaiging for national office for 20 years (for example for the United States Senate in 1994) and still claims not to be politician.

The race is between Newt Gingrich and Mitt Romney – of the two Mitt Romney is the “big government” person (although nothing like Barack Obama – their present policies, on tax rates and so on, may be similar, but their long term AIMS are not). Undermining Gingrich will not produce (could never have produced) a “President Rick Santorum” or a “President Ron Paul”. Neither of these gentleman could ever have been the nominee – as everyone who watched them in debate would know.

At best the effort to undermine Mr Gingrich  it will produce a “President Mitt Romney” (who will, I fear,  leave things much as they are – i.e. make no real effort to reduce taxation or government spending, and the present situation is economically unsustainable). And, I fear (having watched Mr Romney’s weak replies to questions on his tax affairs and so forth) that the effort to undermine Mr Gingrich will produce a reelected “President Barack Obama”. Although, of course, I sincerly hope that Mr Romney (if the the nominee) somehow changes his personality enough to be able to defeat Mr Obama in debate (and so that he is able to counter attack against “mainstream” media attacks). I fully agree with Glenn Beck that the future or civilization itself depends on defeating Marxists such as Barack Obama.

“But there must be a better alternative than Gingrich” – sadly, as so often with “must be” statements, this is not true.

Now here is someone who just may have an open mind – at least a questioning mind. Good for you Ryan. You may not be swayed, but at least you are willing to look at it.

Paul isn’t suggesting that we fight our wars on our own turf. He is suggesting that we stop picking on everyone else like bratty middle school children, get back to the basics and if anyone wants to come to American soil – we defend it. We can not afford to back other countries and spend as we have been doing. That is his point. There has got to be major change – otherwise, we are going to have nothing for our people at all – and no footing to defend others, even if we wanted to. 

Okay Iran is a theocracy run by Israel/America hating people who look forward to being martyred for Alah, just the kind of people I guess Ron Paul & apparently you think should have a nuke. They’re not concerned about mutually assured destruction like the Soviet Union was, which discouraged them from nuking us. Not a problem for the Mulahs in Iran. You might want to watch that debate again. I don’t support Romney, I support Newt who said he favored 15% rate. Hmm… 18 is higher than 15. What do you think of that math.

Man, you’re really angry. You wanna hit this? 
P.S. It takes a moron to believe that all Ron Paul supporters are pot heads. 

When one allows the media to do their thinking for them, one should not complain when the candidate they want is ‘disqualified’.  In fact, who in the world votes just because the media says this or that, idiots?  Sorry, I will do my own thinking and analyzing, thank you.

Whoa, Glenn!  Sounds like you have some kind of an agenda which you don’t seem to be shar-

ing with the group.  Let it be known, I am not aboard the Gingrich bandwagon, but if he could

beat B.O. in Nov., I’m all for it.  You say you want a man with character?  You mean someone

like FDR?  Or JFK?  Or B. Clinton?   Oh, they’re all Dems, so of course, they are expected to

get into ”mischief” but never a Rep!       Anyone who publicly ”shares” a private conversation

which occurred within a marriage—well, I think that person has an ax to grind and shows no

class.   If what a person does in his/her private life does not interfere with that one’s public life,

then what’s the big whoop?   Do we need to know the person had private marriage counseling?

Do we need to know the daughter had an abortion?  Do we need to know the son went through

a drug rehab?  Please.  You, of all people, should know better Glenn.   All I can say, I have more

in common with Newt (politically speaking) than I have with Romney.  Those I supported early

in the game have fallen by the wayside, so I don’t have a horse in the race at this point.

These people understand the word conservative just as much as they understand the word Christian. 

I’m considering it plausible not because of religion but because of historical fact:  Glenn Beck has promoted the underdog until that candidate loses or withdraws.  Then he switches to the next underdog.  Eventually, the one he really wants is the candidate.

Forgive me for being individualistic, but I am as independent as a person gets – I reserve the right to change my mind at any time based on what I know to be true.

Sorry, I’ll have to go with Dan on this one.  Glenn Beck is right most of the time, but this time I think he is running more with his feelings than with his head, and that’s MY opinion.

Crazy is mostly about his foreign policy.  Crazy is telling your best friend in the Middle East, if not the world, that they are on their own when a psychopathic dictator and his buddies are trying to erase them from the face of the earth.  We have to help our friends and stand up for those living under brutal dictators.  If we don’t help anyone else, what happens when they’re gone and we’re on our own against the whole group of these evil forces?  Not a pretty outlook, I’m afraid to say.  The best defense is sometimes a good offense.  We perhaps need to be smarter about choosing our battles, but can you honestly tell me that millions of Iraqis would be better off with Saddam Hussein still in power?  Would we have been better off if we’d just let Hitler take over Europe, then wait for the right time to come visit us?  Nobody wants to see our troops in harms way, but the strategy of hanging out and waiting for them to come to us is even more dangerous for not just our troops but also our civilians.

Sharon Lamont, your predictions might be true, but then again, you might just be wrong.  There is no sense in getting yourself painted into a corner that you cannot back out from your position.  Remember, the Democrats predicted that the USSR would be at war with the USA should Reagan be elected, but that never happened.  In fact, the reverse was true.

ElPzee,  I agree about Newt’s being more of a conservative

than Mitt.  When I lined up their positions on certain subjects,

Newt fared better.  The three conservatives I favored have all

dropped out, so, I’m still looking.

I know it sounds simple Joe, but what if they don’t come to visit us? Are you telling me that you think that the rest of the world is ready to come strike us at any moment simply because we are a free country with prosperity? 

The problem with your post, serfee, is that there are no true conservatives in government – the fact is that they are all politicians first and foremost, and politicians always have one thing first on their agenda – THEMSELVES.

Never forget that sticky point.

Does your insulting profanity help your case?

I think not.

You’re turning your Newt supporters against you.  You’re continued non-stop bashing of Newt is turning people off.  You’re not appearing to be professional anymore.  You’re acting immature, to the point of obsession towards Newt G.  You’re an enemy of the republican party, and so are other republican congressmen/senators who’ve spoken negatively of Newt.  Without the first “punch’ from our MSM or democrats, the republicans and immature people as you are destroying our candidates, particularly newt g.  It’s a sad day in american history.  Who’s the “progressive”??

Laura Krebs, what part of “RomneyCare” do not you get?

I don’t like him, not because of his religion – that is immaterial.  I don’t like any politician that wants a bigger government, more spending, more intrusion into the lives of private citizens, and any politician that proposes that the government take over the private insurance companies’ niche in society are not my prime candidates.

Boy, oh boy, Washington!  This is information you will never see or hear coming from

the LSM.   And, it’s certainly never taught in public schools!   Thanks for sharing.

At this point?  You can’t be serious.  Short of aliens coming to earth, taking over and declaring R Paul president, it won’t happen

When did Ron Paul say he would leave our allies high and dry? Everyone keeps saying on Ron Paul is Pro Iran… when did he say he loved Iran and hated our Israel? He has said that before we declare war on a nation we should use the diplomatic process. Besides, since when was it constitutional
for a President to declare war? Last time I checked War was declared by
Congress though the war powers act, so with that being said the other three candidates would be willing to go against or constitution by declaring an unlawful war.

He said Iran should have a nuke? Funny, could have swore I heard him say in person that if he had it his way, NO COUNTRY would have a nuke. 

A very good question, but the answer is behind the scenes.  Follow the money and follow the powerful.

I as an active duty member of the military find this article the most humorous.  Glenn you portray yourself as the defender of the founders principals, however myself and the majority of active duty military donate to the candidate who you say has a “radical” “crazy” foreign policy, He actually lives everyday standing up to restoring to our country by our founding fathers.  I along with many others have donated to Ron Paul’s campaign and if you would check we have donated more to him than ALL other candidates combined which to me says volumes about his foreign policy.  Why don’t you try listening to US on what we want in our foreign policy, because you’re active support for Santorum is foolish if you TRULY believe in living by the Constitution.  Sorry to be so harsh, but you need to do your research including reading your constitution that you proclaim to defend.

Well said. Glad to see you have your thinking cap on. 

We are hated because we are free.  Marxists and dictators around the world want power and control of the people.  Oh it may take some time, but once we’re out of the way because we’ve pulled back, it will start happening.  The economy is important.  Handling the debt we have is unbelieveably important.  Securing our freedoms and being at the ready for freedom loving peoples around the world for generations is probably the most important thing we could ever do.

I say that we listen to the guys that have actually had to fight the war. Go Wayne!

I’m not mad at the Tea Party movement, but I am disappointed that they died in route to the polls.

You fogot “D” – - Drop a Neutron Bomb on Egypt, Syria, Afghan., and Iran tomorrow morning.  No american casualities and we would have peace for a long time – with a ton of respect ….And we don’t need R Paul to achieve it either

What is wrong with having the biggest stick, as long as you walk quietly, not showing it off all the time?

I am active duty military who supports Ron Paul, why don’t you ask the troops how they feel about his “crazy” foreign policy, better yet look at who the troops donate to more.  But why, it’s so easy for you to send us into battle while you sit behind you’re computer!

Yeah man, same here. Great words, I find it funny that after five deployments and working with and dealing with other countries military and culture that there are people that have never left the states other than on vacation all of a sudden are foreign policy experts. Not saying that I am smarter or know more than others, just find it funny that people will not even listen to experience from someone who has seen U.S. policy at work.

Glenn Beck used to be focused on the agitators behind the scenes, but lately he’s lost focus, it seems.

What happened to the drive to weed out the wreckers of the USA?  What happened to the warnings about abusing the Constitution?  Why are not these issues front and center with the current crop of politicians?

I fought in a war…and i know many who have and are currently.  The fact that the military is pouring all this money into the R Paul campaign is propaganda.  Ok, they have more military giving money to the R Paul campaign – - exactly, how much is that???  How much was donated to the other candidates?  People in the military don’t have money to contribute to campaigns.  It IS an all volunteer military too.  No body is forcibly put into war who didn’t “JOIN” up.  it’s called being a MAN and standing up for your country.  Have people forgotten that?

You hit the nail on the head with your ”—billion dollar campaign fund”, Bob.  Whoever

faces off against B.O. in Nov. will need to able to raise the funds, because B.O. has very

openly stated that his goal is a billion dollars for his reelection fund.  Hope the person

running against him will be able to keep up with (or up close to) the spending.

What, and copy the Democrats?  Oh, wait, they already are copying the Democrats.

Pal, i’ve been to war.  Something you’d clinge at buddy or run to momma.  Don’t tell me “every” person in the military is for R Paul.  That’s absurd!  How much “total” was donated to the R Paul campaign and from how “many” servicemen

We are hated because we have overthrown muslim governments (Iran 1953) Were friends with Saddam while he was at war with Iran then turned against him when he invaded Kuwait in 1991.  We were friends with Bin Laden while Russia was at war with Afghanastan, yet he turned against us once we occupied Saudi Arabia…..but ya stick with its because we are free….you fool

No one said “every” I said majority and 70 % of all active duty military goes to Ron Paul that is a majority

In response to Wayne
You’re talking ancient history.  We are living in today.  The fanatics are killing us.  They’re killed innocent americans, on american soil.  America has a vested interest in the middle east as long as Obummer refuses to allow drilling and the pipeline for domestic oil.  So what that we get half our oil from S America.  If there was a castastrophy in the middle east, it could cripple the american economy in days.  We also have an image to protect as the most powerful military in the world.  That ‘image” has kept the overall peace – between superpowers, in the world for 70 years.  R paul just doesn’t get it

I can’t seem to wrap my head around the fact that we are hated because we are free. It doesn’t make any sense at all. I’d say that we are hated because we are constantly putting our noses where they don’t belong. We don’t want dictators around the world telling us what to do – perhaps the same goes for every other living, breathing human being in the world.

I understand our friends need help – but at what cost? Our troops being sent home to live in civilization with PTSD – with no real healthcare? Being thrown into prison because they are trained combatants and somehow, we can’t seem to understand that our government made them that way? 

Or at the cost of the American people? What happens when we are so completely depleted that we are unable to defend ourselves? 

That is what we are facing. That is the true nature of Dr. Paul’s words. At this point, Joe, I’m sure that he knows that he’s not going to win this great race. But he’s getting his message out – and I think for him, reaching out and getting people to understand is his ultimate goal. 

70% of ALL american military personnel are backing R Paul??? Please state the source of your facts

We’ve had military bases in those countries every since, we NEVER left “ancient history” is still the past AND present day life but keep telling yourself that, like I said to Glenn DO YOUR RESEARCH!  For you to be blindly led sadly, makes me wonder how you would react if the chinese decided to install a base in Texas and do the same thing we do…

And because troops are being MEN and WOMEN ( which you forgot to mention) and standing up for our country, it’s time that we show them some support and bring them home and give them jobs and IMMEDIATE healthcare for any issues that they may have stemming from the horrors that they have experienced. 

Supporting OUR TROOPS doesn’t mean that we throw them to the wolves because they signed up for something. 

And, if you want direct numbers – Google it, while you still have the freedom to do so.

Do you not know how to google “Ron Paul Active Duty Military Donations”….I cannot teach you and this is the only help I will give you…http://content.usatoday.com/communities/onpolitics/post/2011/07/ron-paul-military-campaign-donations-/1

Nina Flora, we elect someone that the media says cannot be elected.  The media doesn’t run the elections, WE do.

I’m still waiting for the source of your statement that 70% of all military personnel backs R Paul…I’ve heard the statement about China installing a base in Texas too many times.  That would Never happen – ever.  Not in the next 10 lifetimes and you and R Paul know it.  You tell me to do my research?  I’m using “common sense” like most americans who think R Paul’s foreign policy stinks.   

Thank you for your service then. Get allot of people that
do not relate. I don’t think that anyone has ever claimed that all of the military support Ron Paul. You should know being a vet, that most guys don’t like politicians and most dont care, at least this was my experience up until the last presidential election. The troops are waking up, no doubt about it. I think that the campaign contributions is referring more to the troops supporting Ron Paul more than other candidates rather than the actual amount. We don’t make jack. As far as you questioning my man hood or me going to war. F@3k you! I do not know anyone that hasn’t put in work in the desert I have been five times and am going again this fall, so before you start attacking my character because of my opinion, I suggest that you look at you own past! After all that why we all served right, to protect the rights of the people. We also swore an oath to support and defend the constitution. By the way I am in a combat arms unit and have lost friends; I don’t appreciate you disrespecting a fellow service member.

We’d kill them in the streets where they stand. Just as they are doing to our poor soldiers. 

Yes, progressives did a lot for this country – they also did a lot TO this country, debt, over taxation, liars and cheats for politicians – need I go on?

Never happen ever???  WHy??? Because the people would never stand for it???…WHAT DO YOU THINK THEY THINK OF US DOING IT THERE!!!!!  What would you do if they did, fight against them???

I love the ‘GOTCHA’

Well done!

Didn’t Ron Paul say on the Jay Leno Show b4 Michelle Bachman dropped out of the race, that she hated Muslims & that Rick Santorum doesn’t like Muslims or gay people? 
For those remarks alone I am thankful that Ron Paul appears to have a snow ball’s chance in hell of getting 2 challenge B.H.O for the White House.

Trust a politician?  Not me!

According to Real Clear Politics Poll, Paul since the beginning of January has always been the closest favorite (besides Romney) to beating Obama.  Yet surprise surprise, it doesn’t get reported ever.

Exactly, Rufree!   Heard that on Fox today when someone suggested Romney say that

line when he is next asked to show his IRS records.   And while he’s at it, ask B.O. for

an authentic birth certificate, not one that has been ”doctored up.”

Notice to Everyone—–I’m responding to an eroneous response and claim from a R Paul supporter, who is brainwashed…..Wayne, I checked the link you provided and a grand total of $34,480 was contributed by all military personnel….Wayne, simple mathmatics tells you that if there are 1.5 million military personnel in the active and guard forces, that doesn’t equal 70% if each soldi

I guess we just need your “kill everyone off that doesn’t agree with me” attitude, correct?  You forgot China. Guess you haven’t polished up on your current events. 
We bomb Iran, you can bet your sweet behind that we will have China ALL up in Texas and everywhere else. 

Your Newt is showing. 

Good point, chuck.  ”—a brawler like Gingrich to duke it out with that Chicago

crowd.”   If one needs to get down and dirty in order to defeat B.O. and his pals,

then, it looks like Newt would be more effective than the other two.

Hey parker, I thought like you for a long time. I had my tours in Iraq, and I am happy I did, however the reasons for the wars are a lot more complicated than just what is on the MSM. Ron Paul has a message, and to me it is the proper one. You can make your own decision about the candidate that you choose, but the one thing you have to say is that paul votes his principles every time, and is not a flip flopper or a progressive, which I cannot say about any of the other candidates. Now if you think that being in the middle east is great because of the oil, or the Israelis, think again. Why do you think the reason is that we don’t have a military base in Israel, yet we have them in unfriendly countries? What happened with the USS Liberty?  If our presence in the middle east is for Israel, why do we have a base in Saudi Arabia? Why do we have Camp Arifjan and Camp Buhring in Kuwait? Why not have one in tel aviv instead? The establishment is playing us like a flute, and Israel is as well.

Ok I know math may not have been your best subject.  So I will explain this to you the easiest way possible.  You take the amount donated to “other GOP” candidates, divide that into the amount given to Ron Paul.  Then subtract that number from 100%

Huh? Is that simple math? LOL Just sum all the donations of other candidates and compare them to Ron Paul’s .

Only in your teenage dreams…Let China “try” to install a base in Texas…This is getting old, good night!

He didn’t just accept the answer that more was given to Paul….he’s one that already knows better

What would you do Parker if they did?

I am not sure who put out that number but he gets a majority of the active duty contributions, and that is including BHO, as of the last quarterly statement. Here is the politifact link that rates this as true.

http://www.politifact.com/texas/statements/2011/jul/23/ron-paul/ron-paul-says-members-military-have-given-him-far-/

Now Ron Paul service members are probably more engaged in the giving department, because they believe in that pesky document called the constitution that the swore to protect. Where as the other candidates could care less about it and I assume their supporters are in the same mind set.

Maybe he’s use his close minded simpleness to start a debate with them via Glen Beck’s website and then haul it off to bed when he was proven wrong? Just a stab in the dark. 

China opening up a military base in Texas?  A better “bet” would be that the world will end on 12-21-12.  OR, it would be the biggest mistake China has ever made

By the way a “catastrophy” occurs the very minute China no longer buys our bonds issued because of our debt.  Then Ron Paul’s “crazy” foreign policy is forced upon us whether we like it or not!

Yes there does seem to be a huge media blackout on Ron Paul. It is like the camera is even afraid of him at the debates. Only 4 candidates on stage, yet the camera can only pan wide enough to fit in 3 of the candidates. Guess which candidate they couldn’t seem to fit in. I like the last SC debate where the croud booed the moderators for not calling on paul on the abortion issue. You know the only medical doctor, and OB/GYN on stage, and probably in th entire building.

Let’s keep raising the debt ceiling and borrowing more money from China until we can’t even afford our own bullets and then let’s see who’s building what – where.

Kid, about a week or two ago, I heard a Tea Party organizer on Fox speak about

their plans.  My impression from what she said is, they want to work at the local

level first and then, from there, start working into state and national levels.  It will

be a slow process, but one which may be good for the US—depending on who

is in Congress and the WH at the time.

You mean “we” would attack them???  Man that is crazy, I’m sure their people would just think we hate them because of their freedom…..

Ron Paul”ers” have invaded Glen Beck. Hahaha. 

So Newt WANTS big government?  higher taxes? more government in our lives? ….. come onnnnn

Brittney, come on now, have you read Wayne’s comments and my challanges?  I “proved” Wayne wrong or didn’t you see that?  Simpleness?  You have ABC tatooed on your forehead if you believe this guy Wayne…

I’m just sick of hearing Beck say he supports Paul EXCEPT his foreign policy.  His foreign policy is his strongest position.  Glenn “should” support the majority of the troops who support Paul over the others by donations, in which we don’t have much to give in the first place.  Glenn gets it on the debt and has stated (just like Paul) that if that is not addressed immediately our “foreign policy” WILL be decided for us.

He gets more than the other candidates combined, and in the last quarter that included obama. http://www.politifact.com/texas/statements/2011/jul/23/ron-paul/ron-paul-says-members-military-have-given-him-far-/

I have read Wayne’s comments and your challenges. Where in the world do you think I’ve gained my observations? It seems that Wayne is way more in tune with what’s going on in our world than you are. It seems that you just have a very old school “bully” way of thinking about things. It is a FACT that Ron Paul has more military supporters than the other candidates. And that probably comes from the enormous amount of support that he has for THEM. One of the biggest problems in America now is that we have this ego about us, this mentality of “immortality” that we can not be touched. Rome fell, my friend, so can we. 

And as far as your coldness towards our troops now – I’d like to ask – what war were you in? How many tours? And how LONG did that WAR last? 

$34,000 worth of support is Nothing!!!! Wayne claimed 70% of all military personnel backed R Paul, can’t you read???  This was a source “Wayne” provided!!!!!  Rome fell, you’re right, and if people like you were running our military, then so would we!!

Beck should be ashamed that he calls himself a follower of God. 

You mean, Paulbots have invaded Glenn Beck..Hahaha

I am a veteran, and I at first had some reservations about Pauls foreign policy. But the more I actually thought of it and the more research I done into the field the more I began to agree with it. I think anyone that isn’t a soldier or veteran, should keep their pie hole shut when it comes to foreign policy. While I like glenn beck and that he is generally truthfull, I have to say that on he is kowtowing the establishment line I really thought when he got away from MSM he would have a little more freedom to expose all of the manipulation that we have going on including the friends we keep. I wish beck would do due dilligence when it comes to our “allies” as well.

Nothing? It’s more than the others got. So, if RP got nothing, then I guess the other guys got jack squat, huh? The point is PARKER, that no one is pondering the exact percentages here – he made a statement, leave it at that. You’re flying in the flock of politicians that have RAN this country – you just can’t seem to get past the mindless bickering to get to the important stuff can you? 

Dude seriously. His foreign policy is probably the best out of all of them. Some how peace and diplomacy is all of a sudden voodoo. Has Israel asked for us to declare war on Iran? Has Israel asked for us to set up a base there to support them? How is it that Iran is all of a sudden kill every man women and child of the free world over night? Why do we need a President that will declare an unlawful war now! FEAR! Fear and emotion will lead to people giving up their freedoms. The easiest way to take someones freedoms is to convince them they have none. For the 5th time on this stupid site, War is declared by congress through the war powers act, not by a President. Keep allowing Presidents to discredit and disgrace our constitution and you will wake up with out one!

You wanna start with the name calling war monger? You never answered my question. How long were you in war? How many tours Parker? Your lack of support for the troops is sickening and disheartening. Even more so being that you claim to have fought for us. Can you top 5 tours? 

Hey Rambo, I’m a “war” vet.  And, your earlier comment didn’t include an option to reply.  Read your fellow Paulbot’s comment – - he claimed 70% of all military personnel supported R Paul.  Obviously an insane claim.  For you to agree with it is also insane.  IF and i say IF you are a veteran, and agree with R Paul, remember you “joined’ the military, no one drafted you.  You joined just for the money or did “country” matter?

I provided you with the link in which you quoted so you obviously read.  I cannot help you if you cannot do math, nor know how to google “Ron Paul active military donations”…It’s not hard, and for you to still argue and claim you win is pointless

I was in North Myrtle Beach this past weekend and I got the chance to meet Dr. Paul. He is so amazing. I heard him – as he spoke to an overwhelmingly large crowd -and he told us – if Israel is not worried at this point about Iran, then why should we be? I don’t know if I want to open this can of worms or not ( may be too much, too soon) but I wonder if all of the upset in the middle east has anything at ALL to do with the Federal Reserve. It is a coincidence that in most areas that everything is happening there is NO central bank set up? 

You are completely right. Before I learned about Ron Paul – and I mean really sat down to do my research and make an educated and sound decision for myself, I thought that our government was protecting us, even if it meant at the peril of our freedoms. But what is life without freedom and justice for all? We worry so much about being killed by other countries, by them taking our freedoms. It’s a COVER. Our own government is trying to take our freedoms by making us our slaves – slaves that fund a war – so they profit from it. Ron Paul is breaking the silence, he’s moving people in a way that hasn’t been done in so long – and people are afraid of that. People are afraid of change – even if it’s for the better. 

People that are afraid of falling subject to a dictatorship better brush up on their knowledge of the NDAA. 

Notice he won’t tell us how long he was in for?

I believe it was you that called me “simple minded” first??..5 tours?? are you Ms Rambo?  I was in a war, the vietnam war, something far too stressful for you, i assure you, and one tour was enough

Dang!!  Well said Missy:))

Hey duche bag, I am not worried about someone elses claim, I am setting the record straight. Ron Paul has more active duty contributions than any other candidate, and more that all the other candidates combined. I already gave you the link and if you are too ignorant to understand that I cannot help you. I am not the one claiming the 70% I am claiming he has more contributions than any other candidate from active duty soldiers, which is fact reported in accordance with campaign finance laws. You may be a war vet, but I am calling you an idiot and a coward.

Also consider that I joined the military after 9/11, not during your cold wet dream war. I have pounded sand, and to tell you the truth, we have all been duped. We think we are fighting for our country, and think we are being patriotic, yet we are just doing the bidding of a propaganda machine. This 11B would shove his foot up your @$$ for being such a tool.

Yes, 5 tours. I believe it was Wayne that said he’s been on 5. I could be wrong on the number there, let’s check with Wayne. I know you’re a stickler for numbers. And I never said I was “Ms. Rambo” nor did I say I could handle war. I’m sure that I couldn’t. I’m sure that I’d look around at all of the demise, the destruction, the sadness – and I would cry my heart out. I’m sure that I wouldn’t be able to endure one second of it without completely losing my mind. I’m sure that I couldn’t handle what my little cousin had to handle when he left for his second tour. I’m sure that I could never understand what’s happened to him, why he was the way he was, or why he had to die because of this war and leave behind his wife and two children. I will never understand why my friend William is not the same William that he once was. Even looking in his eyes – I can see the change. I can never understand that. But, I can empathize. 

Parker seriously you are a tool. For you to bash other service memebers because you disagree with them just shows that you dont remember a thing about the guy next to you. I didnt question your patriotism, dont question mine!

 .You’re a reall classy guy…a punk and a brainwashed Paulbot.  You sound as stupid and childish as your name.  This is getting kinda funny now, me against 3 Paulbots…see, i’m made of flesh and blood, not circuits and metal.  Reminds me of a 50′s SciFi movie…Getting rather bored and tired  R Paul will “never” be president, understand english? Never so get used to it

Ok I have nothing better to do so I will teach you math from the article I posted Ron Paul received $34480 all other candidates COMBINED received $13848.  Add them together 34480 + 13848 = $48328  Now take the 34480 from Paul divide that into the total 48328 it equals 71% of 48328…..now welcome to third grade.

I have deployed 5
times, going back in the fall. I told you that during your character assassination
attempt earlier parker.

But can you read english?  That is the question…You said 70% of all military personnel support R Paul dumb idiot.  Quit trying to twist the  facts

70 % of those WHO DONATED, you idiot….no I did not say 70 % of the entire military donated. 

What is your MOS

Glenn Beck, where were your comments about this man and his progressive natures 2 months ago.     It takes you this long to come out and now tell everyone that they are liars to themselves just because this person doesn’t seam with your agenda that’s always in play.   It’s like your a robo calling machine for Mitt Romney.     Dude, it seems like you got a wad in your pants with your constant last minute night before primary antics to try to persuade the vote away from Newt.    What’s up with the thrill in your pants over Mitt.     If you had a problem with Newt, you should of been speaking up a long time ago.    But then again, you couldn’t of predicted his rise, therefore you ignored it, and now your scrambling to stay relevant and make your case.     I think your alittle late.      Get real Glenn, you are no longer the person you were once before………if anything…… you are the progressive and know it.

He may never be president. That is somethig that only time will tell. But before you attack someone, understand you will get the same response. I treat people as they should be treated. If you are supporting another candidate, I have no problem with that, except you are indeed voting for the wrong man. Do your research, and don’t just think you know it all. Look at all the facts and research. We have been played like a violin. You were too if in fact you were a vietnam vet. (that is if you were volunteer, if you were drafted you had no choice) I have zero problem fighting a war, and I actually liked being on deployment more than garrison, however when I started looking at the true reasons that we went to war, and all the BS we have been pumped on the teevee, I started to realize there are some holes in all of it. Now afganistan is a little different, however to fight for a tie is ignorant. If we are going to go to war, have congress declare it, go over kick some serious @ss and get the hell home. But people that haven’t attacked us and have zero capabilities of doing so I have zero fear of. If we were smart we would get out of all foreign lands and secure our borders. If you think spending unsustainable levels of money on a credit card is a good thing, I have to question your motives. Bringing home our military might to protect the homeland is probably a good idea.

1C4 Air Force TACP also known as a JTAC. I am the guy on the ground that coordinates the Air Strikes also capable of naval surface fires and Arty. You?

Did you get that from the internet?  I asked for a MOS. There should be an Air Force Speciality Code assigned. I could say i’m a Green Baret but there is a code assigned to the position. I’ve worked for the VA for 15 years pal and i can tell you what each number stands for

No shit 1C4 the next number is 5 for my skill level and the final one is one it some other bullshit for admintstators or something so 1C451 or you can google TACP or JTAC. What about you?

So your not a Veteran, you just worked at the VA?

Haha

Interesting, you ask my AFSC, Jeremy tells you he was infantry (11B) and all you tell us is that you worked at the VA for 15 years. Interesting. Tells me that you are way out of touch with the troops. If you did serve, which I doubt at this point. It would have been so long ago that you cannot relate to current policy. You havent been to Iraq, you havent been to Afg, you havent been in the AOR, you have no cultural experience with the region, but yet we the volunteers served and have seen things that you havent but yet you are the authority on the region and war is the only action to take. I guess you are trying to get us all killed so you dont have to deal with us at the VA. 

Glenn Beck is not a Ron Paul supporter. (He isn’t that smart)

I second that. Piror 11BC2P 1/501st

I have to admit I was at first an 11C (indirect fire infantry, AKA Mortarman), but then the army at times re classes involuntary on a lottery system to keep proper levels. When I joined we only had 11-X to choose from and the military chose which one you got 11B or 11C. I wanted 11B but they felt they had other things in mind for me. But they fixed it later not even knowing it on involuntary reclass. Woohoo. Sometimes the army does things right on accident.

Is it me, or does it seem like Glenn is only in this for the money these days, he has not researched Ron Paul at all it seems, and god only knows how much truth he knows about any of the other candidates..Its like he can only listen to TV and form opinions.

I had a buddy that got involuntarily reclassed, I remember when that happend. I also have worked with some 11C as well as some 13F and some other fires guys.

Yeah I don’t get it. Ron Paul is Tea Partier Number 1. But beck just keeps going establishment. I don’t get it. I used to trust beck, but I am having doubts anymore.

He used to support Ron Paul, a while back…then one day…he got a visit from a mormon boy…just kidding…Who knows why he flipped on Ron Paul, but it is clear that outside factors had a hand in it.  Porbably $$$ or Loss of Job….as that is exactly what happened to Phil Donahue when he would not speak the message he was told too.

Yep I had a lot of fister buddies(forward observers). Some good people in the BCT’s. I was out of 2-5 cav 1cd 1bct fort hood texas. Huge base. It took an hour just to get off base because of the traffic. I am glad I am done with that rat race.

Everyone I talk to that is still in or was with me and now has pcs/ets’d  is voting ron paul. Some of the guys that went to korea and germany are a little bumbed because they like being there but they know it is the right thing to do. I think I have a few undecided friends, but over all it is ron paul.

I hear ya, thats cool man. I went to JTAC school with some Hood rats. Been through the area, I can see why you got out now.

The city of Killeen is messed up. One block your in the ghetto, and the next block your in new construction single family homes. Everyone wants to test you when they find out your infantry. It just got old. I would have rather been on deployment than at hood or killen. Just a crappy place to be.

I wish I had been at Hood, that would have been cool.

Same here. Pretty much all my buddies agree with Ron Paul and his policy. Its funny how the media and some people on this site try to discredit vets that have served in the region. Some how we arnt smart enough to figure out how a war works, but we are capable of fighting it. Dude I enjoyed my deployments, but this is getting crazy. How the hell do they expect us kill all these militaries, spread our forces so thin and maintain our country. Impossible!

Nah man it is a huge base. If you like picking weeds and mowing grass(that is what infantry/ combat arms) does there when not training) then that is the place for you. If you like waiting in traffic for an hour after work then that place is for you. If you like being there from 0530 to 1700+ 5 days a week and weekend calls then that is your place. Well at least that is how 1cd 1bct 2-5 cav was. And killeen is a real crap hole.

The Republican Party has throwed in the towel. Their only chance was with Ron Paul, but no, they decide to give Obama four more years. The Republican Party is breathing it’s last breath. Stick a fork in them, they’re done. There will never be another Republican President. Never!

If Newt wins the nomination, Obama wins by a landslide. Then the Republican Party will have to live with the fact that their last two finalists were John McCain, and Newt Gingrich. Oh America, how could we have slipped into these depths? These two men are the worst of the worst.  

Okay, I will just keep my old one then:)  I liked Ft. Benning the times I was there though.

Dude that sucks. I always liked 11B. The ones I ran into are always apprehensive of us. They see the AF name tape and are like WTF are you doing here. Just like anything though always have a good time once they realize I’m not there to fix their computer. I guess that’s the military, always got to break out the measuring stick.

I liked benning. That is where I went to basic, that is when it was the home of the infantry but I hear that isn’t the case anymore. I mowed some grass there too, but it was green at least instead of the texas crispy brown dust bowl. Still Ft Hood is better than Ft irwin. It looks exactly like kuwait. I would have hate the army if they stationed me there. 1 month was long enough.

I only encountered a few over in Iraq, on JSS war eagle, but we had some EWO guys from the navy when I was with the Time sensitive targeting and High Value targeting team. They used there antennaes to hone in on the cell phone signals, or whatever signals they were looking for. Cool people though, just a different breed.

I don’t know if I would have done your job. You guys look like your out in the open a bunch, all by yourself. Kudos to you man.

Jeremy- It is still home of the Infantry. I went to Inf School in Harmony Church, and then Airborne School.

Likewise, we always got along with Air Force really well at Ft. Richardson…marines not so much.

I guess the rumors were wrong then. I heard they moved in the armored, and that was now their home. See thats what just listening to people gets ya. Always a lie it seems unless you check the facts yourself. Thanks for the info.

Yeah, they just moved Armor there as well. Better for Team Training with Infantry and Armor together.

Yeah the EWO (intel) are even different than us. I guess every branch is its own breed and jobs with in the servce are even more different. Yeah, we get exposed to fire our share for sure. Sometimes its because we cant see where the problem(so to speak) is. But its rewarding to make thing blow up. But that being said, im never point man, so Kudos on you guys.

501st, I still got buddies up there. Alaska is awesome.

I am voting for paul if he is on the ballot or not. Hopefully the rest of his supporters will do the same. The Republican party has lost their way, and only losing in a landslide because people write in a candidate that they shunned will open their eyes. The problem is who do we get to run next election cycle? The rest are all flip floppers. 

I will be too. I refuse to allow someone to cast my vote for me. This is still a free country and its my vote to cast. People say vote for the lesser of the two evils, evil is evil, so why the hell would I vote for evil!

It sucks that it has to be this way, but that is how I feel. The party has to suffer or they will continue with the same BS. Make them pay at the polls. My eyes are wide open, and I am not voting for any other candidate, even if it means obama being reelected. It makes me sick to even have to do it, but it seems like I have no choice but to do what I think is right.

Ron Paul has been in congress for 23 years and put out 620 bills. Hard worker. Effective? Only one passed and that was to put something in a museum.  As Rick Santorum said, RP will be ineffective in getting the house to pass anything, but as Commander in Chief he’ll be able to weaken our borders and give free reign for Islamists to destroy Israel, then Europe, Africa; Chavez will take South America; China will take Asia.  Then they’ll ALL come after US!

Don’t worry, where the extreme Left meets the extreme Right (as Paulies and Occupiers are now joining forces) is the only place where Paul can get a vote.  They may be the noisiest but they’re a minority of whackos.

Glenn is absolutely right about Newt.  Gingrich is attempting to deceive the American people — conservative people, that is — and apparently those in SC are falling for it.  How insane!  Newt is  all what Glenn said, and a bully ta-boot. He’s running to be king, not President. Santorum is our best bet, however, Romney, I believe, is diplomatic enough to listen to reason and the voice of the people, and, therefore, can be swayed to right of center. May SC give Newt a great big surprise and dump him!

NEWT STANDS FOR NWO!!

NEWT STANDS FOR NWO!! (that’s “new world order” for those of you who don’t know

I think I have made up my mind and going with RP… I know I’ll catch a lot of heat for it here but who else should I put my support behind? The rest of the field is garbage!  I donated to the Cain campaign and he was dumped first round. So going with the only man on the state who has for the most part stood by his word over the years. Oh and keep praying that America has a better future for my son.

The reason the tea party has been a lie is, we have corrupt groups calling themselves tea party who are really GOP PACS – like Tea Party Nation, Tea Party Patriots — all came along and hijacked the original anti-Bush tea party from 2007. Now they are pushing Newt and sending around incorrect voter guides leading people to think Newt is a great conservative.

Just as predicted, they are now shoving establishment creeps down our throats. In NH Romney bought and paid for the election by handing money to his endorsers, and paying off their campaign debts. But the tea party here overwhelmingly supported Ron Paul.. The news media, corrupt itself, would not broadcast that fact.

Glenn has not helped things with all this AIPAC nonsense.. — he’s just about ensuring a Romney win as well by bashing other candidates, using worn out memes from the press, and the whole 9 yards..just like the rest.

Why are we so morally bankrupt in this country that we cannot support a man of character for president because the freakin’ media tells us not to?

Glenn you helped bring this on… admit it buddy .. you did some good at the beginning but then you lost your way……

Repent. Because you are helping Obama win re-election. It’s inevitable.

You also undermined the tea party.

Actually, Paul is the only one who polls against Obama by 47% because he brings the independents in. Mitt and Newt are the ones who will insure a BHO win.. which is just what the establishment republicans would RATHER HAVE than a true constitutional conservative like Ron Paul. Look it up cowboy.

911 would never have happened if Paul were president. NEVER. And those who would dare hurt us would be punished immediately… instead of starting a whole war.

Glenn.

Do you understand that Art Laffer is the guy Newt goes to for the economy?

Isn’t that the same guy you go to?

How in the hell can you think he’s going to be anything close to Obama on economics?

Your ranting is downright paranoid.

Get a clue!

Paul’s foreign policy views alone will destroy the country/world.

Would you eat broccoli with poison in it?

Ya. Keep repeating that.

Then you don’t have to think anymore.

Santorum is the dangerous one. He wants to bomb Iran — TOMORROW. LOL He campaigned in NH for months and months before the others and we ignored him. He got 10%, and Newt got 8% Listen to us in NH, we vet our candidates well. Romney won because this is his backyard and he BOUGHT PEOPLE OFF and has been campaigning since 2010 elections. 24% of us were smart enough to vote for RON PAUL.  But Newt was seen for what he is… corrupt!

We need bold, conservative leadership who is not afraid of offending people.

Romney and Santorum won’t cut it, though I’ll vote for them if they win the nomination. Got no choice.

The trouble with this country is, it is run by AIPAC, CIA, and CFR and other NGOs… watch this..
http://t.co/3rtanngn

You hit the nail on the head.

It’s too bad that Paulbots are willing to ignore inane ramblings on foreign policy and history just because someone happens to be right on some economic and constitutional issues.

It’s like eating health food with poison in it.

It won’t be the party that will suffer, it will be the country.

4 more years of Obama is a death sentence for this nation. It will create untold suffering.

Electing whoever the Republican nominee is, at least gives us a chance.

Hey, at least you can have the satisfaction of knowing you stuck to your ideology no matter how much suffering it caused. That must make you feel good.

Convince me otherwise. I would really like to have another choice! I really would! But so far it’s seems we are damn if we do, damned if we don’t… Also that is my biggest gripe about RP, his foreign policy. 

Ron Paul Votes against bills that he himself pads up with Big spending knowing it will pass to further advance his fake image. His district has some of the worst debt in the nation. Plus if he is elected all his ideas will be shot down just like he shoots everything down. He would be essentially a lame duck for four years. Plus if he is elected it will be a free for all for every terrorist in the world. Don,t worry they will come here no matter how nice Mr Paul is to them. Now I see Ron Paul supporters are slamming every blog in America its shows devotion.Skewing every poll. Don’t worry we know its not real support. Sorry Glenn I have not mastered sarcasm like you….But I want too

Yet another post that bounces the ball back to the other side of the court for me… I don’t know who to vote for!!! I think I’m just going to vote Obama and get it over with!!!

Glenn.

Are you a friggin cult leader?

Do you demand complete loyalty to your opinions?

Most people who disagree with you on Newt are thinking for themselves and looking at the evidence. The overwhelming evidence is that he would govern mainly as a Conservative, not a Progressive.

You can cherry pick what supports your thesis, and ignore everything that doesn’t like a true Presstitute, but be aware that you are ruining your reputation among many people who valued your opinion.

Nothing wrong with criticizing Newt. But Santorum and Romney have as much evidence, or more of Progressivism, relative to the length of their careers in politics, and you barely acknowledge it.

Why?

I will say this is very frustrating! I listen to GB every day and I’m also a subscriber to GBTV! Looking at all the candidates I think I’m out on voting on any of them. I’m to the point now that I’ll put my vote on Obummer and let the chips fall where the may. 

One problem we have in this country is we have too many people who would rather believe kooky conspiracy theories instead of have to examine and think about the complex problems we face, and the possible solutions.

Please, stop listening to Alex Jones. Do some research. He’s getting rich off your paranoia.

Just because someone is right about a few things doesn’t mean they are right about everything.

Bingo.

We see just how serious you are with that”And all the terrorizers in the wurld will start blowing us up ”

As if Tomohawk missiles and 4Trillion spend in Iraq keep terrorists from bringing bombs onto crowded buses.

You’re just an ignorant by-product of the MSM’s fear-mongering.

Do you believe the Republican nominee (not Paul) will do a better job reducing government spending, programs, regulations, and keep taxes from going up, encourage small business and capitalism, reform entitlements and attack the deficit, have a sane foreign policy, and preserve as much as possible the best military in the world, or do you think Obama will do a better job of that?……………………………………………………………….

See how easy that is?

No, whoever it is won’t be perfect. But they are the only chance we’ve got. There is no other choice.

Obama/Paul would destroy the country/world.

Yes, I would vote for Paul over Obama if those were the only two choices. He is the lesser of the two evils. But that won’t be what happens.

To me, Ron Paul was the only guy speaking with any credibility.  He is in this race to continue to educated the population– boy talk about a tough mission in life! His “radical” views on foreign policy are directionally correct– we do need to stop sending troops all over the globe to back up the cabal of multinational corporations that so heavily influences things.  If you are in doubt go to youtube and check out Dwight Eisenhower preach about the dangers of the military industrial complex in 1961!  Regarding domestic policy– again Ron Paul is the only candidate talking about taking 1 Trillion out of the budget!   The stock market would soar, confidence would soar, and America would boom!  These shysters and huckers on his right are like game show hosts on TV offering cute little responses with no meat on the bone.  Vote for Ron Paul and start making real change

Read my reply below.

You’re expecting perfection, and if you don’t get it, advocating suicide. Don’t do it.

Nice inane rant.

I think the Republicans want to lose again.  I understand where you’re coming from, Glenn.  Thank you for your insight.   Looks like the calvary is not showing up.

A brokered convention is entirely within the realm of possibility.  As the primaries go on, I don’t see Mitt Romney or Ron Paul leaving, as long as they have money.  I also don’t see Newt leaving.  This would make a 3 way race.  If no one gets over 50% of the delegates, all bets are off.  As the race goes on, people will be taking a closer look at Newt, Paul, and Romney, and eventually get to the conclusion “none of the above.”  They will also get a second look at Rick Perry as he campaigns for Newt, and ask him to serve as our nominee at the convention. 

Gee, it all sounds so simple. Vote for Paul, and our problems are solved. Don’t worry about the little details and REALITY.

Now I understand the appeal Hitler had in the 1930′s.

Just wondering if we have given much thought to the real war that is waging.

Amen to that Glenn. You’re not going to hear things like that anywhere else but here,folks. Forget about Rush Limbaugh, Mark Levin, let alone Hannity or O’Reilly. This is what makes Beck the best in conservative business. He’s amazingly informed and his broad knowledge is utterly unmatched. He doesn’t give a damn about pleasing anyone or losing his own audience. He outright speaks my mind, which is a great feeling. The only other conservative personality that is close to my thinking is Mark, but only until he begins to say that he likes Newt Gingrich a lot. That’s when I begin to think that I tuned in a different, progressive radio station.

The real war that I am talking about is the possibility of the real war between the western countries and China and Russia.  China and Russia are major emerging economies which are becoming very powerful and will soon take over the reigns as the largest economies of the world.  China will be number one by 2020 and Russia will be number five by 2020.  As their needs for fossil fuel increases, the need for oil from the middle east will increase dramatically.  This will put the western world on very shaky ground for its oil needs.  If Iran will get to a position that will be able to defend itself from western agression, it will be agle to dictate who it sells its oil to, which it should. I think the Chinese and Russian governments know that this is the main reason for the US and European take down of Iran is coming which also has the purpose of slowing China’s access to middle eastern oil and thus slowing down China’s growth.

   America is run by the PRIC cartel (Phenominally Rich In Control) Their organization is the Council on Foreign Relations and their financial arm is The Federal Reserve Bank. The FED processes 1.9 Trillion dollars a day and they can (and do) spend whatever is necessary to corrupt our voting process. Glenn has talked about both of these organizations and when he started to hone in on the truth they cancelled his show.
    Only Ron Paul has has not been corrupted by the PRIC cartel. Newt Grigrich is a PRIC member. If you think that the Republican Party will solve our problems you are part of the problem. The Republican Party has the same goals as the Democratic party… they just choose to do it slower. Even Glen is reluctant to show too much support for Ron Paul. Ron Paul will probably not get elected but he will educate millions of Americans and for that I give him my money and time. SID SUTHERLAND

Voters in South Carolina haven’t been able to wise up for too many years now. They have given us McCain and Lindsey Graham- read that RINOs, career politicians. The only case that I am proud of them is their solid backing of another great American patriot Jimmy DeMint. However, they’re losing their credibility as a conservative state right about now. I have to laugh every time when Gingrich claims that he isn’t an establishment kind of a politician. There are actually, as seen in SC, enough dumb people who buy that rhetoric. Wake up, all you true conservatives.You already destroyed my candidate Michele Bachmann-the only true conservative in the race. She was betrayed by all those corrupt, spineless, phony, counterfeit conservatives including Sarah Palin.

Pundits always say you can’t win without the independents.  Ron Paul wins a majority of independents.  Republicans aren’t going to vote for Obama.  Ron Paul even wins the anti-war and pro-liberty Democrats.  If Ron Paul is the nomination, it could actually be a landslide for Ron Paul. 

He may not be the smoothest speaker (how’s the smooth talker working for you?), but he stands on principle.  He will always do what he says he will do.  He will never lie to you.  Why is it so inconceivable to vote for an honest, principled man?

Every great empire falls for a combination of two things– overspending and overextending their military.  If we don’t pull our military back to the US to actually defend us and if we don’t balance our budget, our economy will collapse and we will have NO DEFENSE.  This will not make us safe.  Attacking other countries is just fodder for suicide bomber recruitment. 

We trained and supplied arms to Al Qaeda and now we are fighting them.  We supported Sadam Hussein before deciding he couldn’t be allowed to govern Iraq.  We supported and funded Mubarak (in Egypt) before we said he must step down.  We supported the Al Qaeda in Lybia while fighting them in Iraq and Afganastan.  I think this sounds like a much more dangerous foreign policy than a limited foreign wars, bringing our soldiers home to defend our borders, and only going to war when declared by Congress.

I know. It’s so dangerous for everyone else who deals with Iran and the like.

I feel that Ron Paul has the correct ideas when it comes to foreign policy.  Let the countries take care of themselves.  There is a risk to this policy because other countries with power will try to manipulate their alliances and monetary domenance over others like the US has been for the past 50 years or so.  But as long as we are strong and powerful also, we will not be taken for granted from an economic perspective.  The key is to be strong and militarily powerful to defend our freedoms and rights and get rid of this evil federal reserve system and put the money policy back in the hands of a congress with integrity instead of a congress on the take. 

AMEN!!!

My husband and I attended 9-12 and 8-28 – we had been huge Beck fans until now. The way he has demonized and mocked Newt Gingrich shows absolutely no class and reflects badly on Glenn. Romney is the least conservative guy up there who changes his “opinions” based on solely what will benefit him politically, yet Beck won’t go after Romney. I’m so tired of the media trying to shove Romney down our throats – the guy just isn’t authentic and doesn’t seem to have a single conviction. Newt is a flawed person but at least he admits his mistakes which shows humility. Has anyone ever seen Romney admit he made a mistake? No, he excuses everything.  People want a straight shooter and someone who will stand up even if we don’t always agree with him.

The Conservative movement has become an angry mob. They are looking for blood rather than a conservative president. Gingrich is throwing read meat to the angry crowd and they are eating up.

Politics has been turned into an arena sport. Voters want to see smack downs and yelling matches rather than sane discussions about the facts.

The question that has been bugging me is Is the Political Entertainment Industry hurting America?

It bears repeating that voters have lost the ability to distinguish between reality and political theater. Newt Gingrich is the Shakespeare of political theater. They have gone after personalities instead of policies. They are swooning over Fox News Contributors.

Wake up people!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ron Paul should be our next President. But until the GOP zombies awake from their sleep we are going to get another big government “conservative” who will compromise  our soldiers safety  and the constitution at the whim of AIPAC and other lobbyists who helped get them elected.

I’m glad you’re fine with dying for nothing. Why don’t you take your ass over there and fight then?

Glenn, Glenn, Glenn. We’re trying to get away from the media, pundits, experts, and other blowhards (no offense) telling us what to think, how to feel, which person to vote for. Americans can and ARE thinking for themselves again – finally. Debate is healthy, discussion is good. But we should expect fairness and truth from each other, and most certainly from people like you.

How is it that conservatives, Republicans and even Independents are so far apart on issues? Don’t we all want to protect our Constitution, rein in spending, and defend our country legally? We need to stop bickering and fighting. We are going to hand the election to BO if we don’t get it together. The left is laughing at us, watching us implode.

Also, the ultra religious folks need to give back the Republican Party. They’ve had it long enough. They hi-jacked it and it’s time we said no more.

Something to think about: when I listen to the candidates and read what they write, the only one I ever hear mention the U.S. Constitution is Ron Paul. That counts for something in my book.

I am disturbed by 4 of the last 6 comments on this page. for the love of God and everything that is holy, I am reading a bunch of BS leftist dribble. You folks should occupy a brain cell or two. I have one question for you marxists, how is that hope and change working for you?  I hope you have dreams of Rick Santorum in the White House. At least Trick W., and AFE gets it.

As a 34 yr old mother, there is absolutely no way that I can bring myself to EVER vote for Newt Gingrich. He’s like a scandal waiting to happen. In the last few years, what has happened to politicians who have cheated on their wives? They have resigned and later found jobs as “political commentators”. Corporations now days check credit reports and perform background checks on potential employees and if they find something shady chances are more likely they won’t get hired. For example, are you going to hire an accountant who can’t even manage his own personal finances? Is this country going to “hire” Newt Gingrich, when he has been found guilty of ethics violations? Who decided to abandon his family in their time of need, to pursue his own lustful desires-not once, but at least twice? Talk about flip flopping and hypocrisy again while persuing an affair with Callista while accusing President Clinton of his affairs. What makes anyone think that he’ll put the needs of the country first when he has shown such poor behavior and lies? Do you really think Callista would be a good role model to the young women in this country? Just out of college and sleep with the man in charge to get where you are today? I believe that Newt and Callista have sought forgiveness and while I know in some respect they are sincere and said they have found peace with God, there are still consequences  that come along with the choices they have made, no matter how long ago it had taken place. Not meaning to be insensitive, but person who once was a heavy smoker and since quit and have made their peace with God, may develop lung cancer as a consequence to their previous choices. That’s what I feel about Newt Gingrich, he made some bad choices personally and professionally, while he says made his peace with God, there’s still consequences to his actions. Another reason why I can’t in good conscience vote for him is because he is continuing  to spread lies and use cunning words to make the other candidates look bad by making false assumptions.  That’s why I can’t EVER bring myself to vote for him for the President of the United States, because I feel like he can’t be trusted. 
He had his chance to show the country what he could do back in the ninety’s and he blew it because of his own selfish desires. We need someone with better character and ethics to lead this country. If he’s the nominee, as a declared republican, I’ll have a better conscience voting for Obama.

Paul is the only one who mentions the constitution because he’s the only one who doesn’t compromise it. Santorum and the others admit that they made compromises to get the core of what they wanted. That is NOT what we need in the White House anymore. Just my opinion.

Lets follow the constitution, and vote for a man who isn’t crazy. Look what happened last election, when Barack Hussein Obama was not vetted.

I agree with Ron Paul on economy 100 %.  But he is racist, bigot, antisemite and clueless on how to deal with Russia, China, nuclear Iran, Al Qaeda etc…

Ron Paul is VERY dangerous ! We don’t need him and his  looney foreign policy in the Republican Party.  I personally will wholeheartedly support any Republican nominee ( Mitt Romney, Newt Gingrich, Rick Santorum) except the “republican” called Ron Paul. If, G-d forbid, Ron Paul is a nominee, i will wholeheartedly (and financially) support Barack Obama !

Ron Paul!

Are Ron Paul’s disciples as insane as him ? Do they also believe America caused 9/11 ?

Right on point Glenn!  I don’t see how people can be so short sighted and forget about who Newt is and has been.  We’ve seen a great whitewash this past couple of weeks in SC.  A great debater … one who can stick it to others … isn’t leading.  One who can work with others, even those who oppose him, and get things done, as Mitt Romney did in Massachusetts and elsewhere, that’s a leader, and that’s what we need.  We don’t need a White House riddled with scandals so you can’t focus on leading the country.  We had that with Clinton.  We’ll get that with Newt if he were to win.  We had it when he was speaker and eventually kicked out, ethics problems, cheating on his wife.  Wow.  What is it about him that is attractive other that he can be snappy towards the lame stream media.  Wake up people!

I agree with Ron Paul on economy 100 %. But he is racist, bigot, antisemite and clueless on how to deal with Russia, China, nuclear Iran, Al Qaeda etc… show more show less

Ron Paul should run for president of Iran.

So you could rewrite this whole article with romney’s name substituted and it would be just as true.

Yes, we do want a man of character. His name is Ron Paul.

You could say less, since what you have said is untrue.

Good job on doing your own analysis instead of taking what Beck says word for word.  Beck also realizes Newt is far more conservative.  Even Michael Reagan came out and said Newt best exemplified his father’s conservative positions/ideals.  He is a very good indicator of who is closest to Reagan – and clearly, Michael is declaring Newt over Romney.

It appears Beck has a soft spot for progressives.  There is some fear, rage, and revenge towards anyone who is threat to Romney for the GOP nomination.  If it were Perry, then Beck would wack him over the head.  Beck raises serious credibility issues about himself with his relentless rants about Newt and Trump and Paul, while being silent on drawbacks of Romney, Bachman/Santorum.

Paul might be the only true constitutionalist running.  Most people don’t agree with his foreign policy but I think most people don’t truly understand his position.  National building has bankrupted this country and we should focus on domestic security first.

In 1998 when Gingrich “resigned” as Speaker he said, “”I’m willing to
lead but I’m not willing to preside over people who are cannibals.” Was
he calling the House members “cannibals” because there were 84 ethics
charges filed against him during his tenure and because he was
sanctioned by a 395–28 House vote? Did it have something to do with the
check kiting scheme gone awry? I thought Santorum made an excellent case
in the most recent debate, portraying Newt as volatile and
irresponsible, with the credibility of someone who was there when all of
this was happening. So what’s going on in South Carolina? If the
sampling of news article interviewees truly embodies the spirit of South
Carolina voters, it seems they want a president who will, first, create
jobs, and second, share the same religious faith they do. Mitt is the
obvious choice to fit those criteria – yes Mormons are Christians – and
if not him, why isn’t Santorum the front-runner? The Newt surge doesn’t
make any sense. Nominating him is ensuring an Obama win in November. Is
it because Newt brings the most drama to the stump with his fat-cat
appetites, yelling at CNN moderator John King like a guest on The Jerry
Springer Show? In that case, Americans are showing themselves to be a
bunch of reality-show-fed sheep. How depressing.

New ID..1st comment huh…

New ID..1st comment huh…

One of the biggest issues before us is how the President will protect our freedoms and liberties.  We need to look at how each candidate stands on the NDAA issue and the EEA issue which are core to our Constitutional based liberties.  Gun control laws are another core federal issue.  I wish these issues would be focused on the next debate so that we could get to the core of their beliefs.  These should be the federal level issues that need to be addressed.  Abortion and medical coverage and marriage issues should be handled as a state level issue.  That way if you don’t agree to a particular state’s belief, just move to a state that does handle your issues as it wants and you can take your money to that state and pay your state and local taxes to that government’s beliefs.  

Nice article Nick….

If Newt is a Progressive because of his stated support for Woodrow Wilson, Andrew Jackson, and Teddy Roosevelt, what does that make Santorum for stating the candidate on stage he would choose as his VP was Newt Gingrich?

Is that a new ID just so you can post on this thread?….Why yes it is….don’t tell me Ron Paul..right?…

VPs are attack dogs…and Newt is that for sure…

Presidents can propose all the budgets they want, they can only sign off on spending bills that are sent to them by the House of Representatives. All spending bills originate in the house! Basic civics!

In 1998 when Gingrich “resigned” as Speaker he said, “”I’m willing to
lead but I’m not willing to preside over people who are cannibals.” Was
he calling the House members “cannibals” because there were 84 ethics
charges filed against him during his tenure and because he was
sanctioned by a 395–28 House vote? Did it have something to do with the

this was happening. So what’s going on in South Carolina? If the
sampling of news article interviewees truly embodies the spirit of South
Carolina voters, it seems they want a president who will, first, create
jobs, and second, share the same religious faith they do. Mitt is the
obvious choice to fit those criteria – yes Mormons are Christians – and
if not him, why isn’t Santorum the front-runner? The Newt surge doesn’t
make any sense. Nominating him is ensuring an Obama win in November. Is
it because Newt brings the most drama to the stump with his fat-cat
appetites, yelling at CNN moderator John King like a guest on The Jerry
Springer Show? In that case, Americans are showing themselves to be a
bunch of reality-show-fed sheep. How depressing.

I also like Santorum for his support of the reversal of the NDAA bill.  He was very forceful the other day about Romney’s support for the bill.  I don’t know if the candidates have given much thought on the details of the bill.

RON PAUL 2012 !!!!!!!!!

Anti-semite? Why? Because he doesn’t support Israel like a mindless puppet?

If that’s the case, then you can label me the same and I’ll wear it as a badge of honor.

P.S.

You can’t have anti-semitism without semitism. Think about that one.

AIPAC runs the country!!!!???

By making that statement you are now (according to a lot of folks in here) officially an anti-semite just like me!! Congratulations!! Did you know going in that sticking up for the constitution and your country would bring you that label??

At least your conscience will be clear.

i am trying to but have no idea they think i want to vote for Santorum because of what Glenn says. i am useing my head love him or hate him he is my pick but i feel it would not hurt to have some infomation on him you know the more you know sort of deal.

Think about how stupid the average person is. Now stop and realize that half of them are even more stupid than that. Now you have the true picture of American voters.

I’d pad the bills up too. If you’re going to steal my money, I’m going to find a way to get it back. He shoots down ideas that are unconstitutional. God forbid right?

You guys have been haiging out by the Glen Beck Kool-Aid stand too long! Glen is mad because all of his attemps to get a fellow Mormon elected, HAS FAILED!!  THAT`S WHAT YOU GET GLENN FOR BASHING THAT POOR GUY ON THE PHONE THE OTHER DAY AND DISRESPECTING YOUR FANS BY LYING TOO THEM ABOUT YOUR SECRET SUPPORT FOR A FELLOW “MORMON”   GOD DON`T LIKE UGLY!!   YOU WREAP WHAT YOU SUE!! 

It was the same at Schofield barracks. Minus the traffic.

He was pretty hard on that guy. The guy was just disagreeing with him and I thought he was being very civil. He hung up on him for not agreeing with everything he says in his books. I don’t agree with everything he says either. I don’t agree with everything ANYBODY says. He was extremely disrespectful.

yes he was !! i really used to like Glen but he became the same person he used to warn us about! Insted of saying to his fans,” hey, i like Romney, he`s a fellow mormon, bla,bla ect..” But no! he goes on this crusade to degrade a one time Speaker Of The House, no matter what you think of his political standing, Deserves some respect! And by the way, Glenn Beck the alcoholic, Who once fired a guy for “handing” him the wrong ink pen one time, Is not qualified too judge ANYBODY!! Now he`s lecturing S C on their support for Newt Gingrich! Glenn Becks` arrogance knows no bounds!

remember South Carolina give us President Ronald Regan,how was that Glenn.
 

Glenn.Stop being so hateful

Stop and picture Mit Romney as the president. Can’t do it, can you. That’s because we have no idea what he would do as president. He is even better at not answering questions than Obama. Newt might be a loose cannon, but at least he is pointed in the right direction. As far as his being a progressive, I don’t see it. His history in government was one of lowering taxes and weakening the welfare state, while getting the democrats to go along with him. We might want someone to go into the whitehouse and undo 50 years of progressivism, but it isn’t going to happen without the total co-operation of his party and 60 seats in the senate, which isn’t going to happen. So, let’s start with someone that will get the ball rolling, and that’s Newt.

Glenn is so pissed that that stan is trying to stop his rant! Glen just called all tea party patriots, LIARS!! WOW GLENN!! Pretty hyypocritical coming from a guy that`s been lying this whole time about his secret support for a fellow mormon! Dude stop your temper tantrim! your embarrassing yourself!

South Carolina gave us Reagan?  LMAO!!!!   if i recall many states voted for Reagan……that’s like Newt taking credit for the Reagan revolution when Reagan only mentions him once in his diary and Reagan REJECTED Newt’s only idea………Newt is not going to win the general, he has so many issues that it be too long to write them here.

South Carolina gave us Reagan?  LMAO!!!!   if i recall many states voted for Reagan……that’s like Newt taking credit for the Reagan revolution when Reagan only mentions him once in his diary and Reagan REJECTED Newt’s only idea………Newt is not going to win the general, he has so many issues that it be too long to write them here.

by the way Obama is more likeable than Newt in the general population…..Newt Supporters are betting that Newt is going to blow out Obama in the 2 debates and win the election……that is a flawed argument. The general election audience is way different than the South Carolina GOP audience……..Glenn is right about Newt, he will not win a general election.

I don’t see it that way.. That is the establishment meme. You see how afraid of ron paul the establishment is. All you have to ask yourself is why they would want to dismiss him. It becomes very clear that there is a status quo to protect. Neither side of the political establishment is any better than the other. Just look at deficit spending.  What was your opinion on the debt ceiling debate? Were you happy when the RINO’s approved the hike? Or was it something that had to be done, because it gave us a few more years of failed policy instead of exposing it instantly?

USMC: picture NEWT as President and his 3rd mistress, I mean 3rd wife as “FIRST LADY” and his dealings with Freddie Mac and his progressive views on health care which he supported a government mandate for 30 years and his ethics violations while he was Speaker of the House and all the dirt that will come out from other republicans who worked with him……I can’t picture it , can you?

Im saying is if Newt is the republican nominee, the topic in the fall will be more about his baggage than issues and Obama doesn’t need to spend 1 billion to expose Newt……Obama wants Newt because Newt is not very likeable in the general population…….that’s the truth.

Just go read his newsletters.

Ron Paul is VERY dangerous ! We don’t need him and his looney foreign policy in the Republican Party. I personally will wholeheartedly support any Republican nominee ( Mitt Romney, Newt Gingrich, Rick Santorum) except the “republican” called Ron Paul. If, G-d forbid, Ron Paul is a nominee, i will wholeheartedly (and financially) support Barack Obama !

RON PAUL 2020 !

We understand Paul’s positions. We have read his newsletters !

RON PAUL 2028 !!!!!!!!

Ron Paul for president of Iran !

RON PAUL 2028 !!!!

RON PAUL – FOR PRESIDENT OF IRAN !!!

And yes,Dr Paul is the only veteran –USAF surgeon–among the GOP Primary candidates. And yes,like Ike Ron sees problems with the military-industry complex.
A Texan for Paul all the way to the Florida Convention..and possibly ready to do a “write-in” at the Nov 2012 General Election, depending on how the GOP establishment listens to and accepts his planned presentation. (Ck his website).
Likewise, don’t negelect attention to Herman Cain Solutions to further entice the RNC-GOP “out-of-the-box” they created over decades of neglecting walk the talk.

when was the last time you`ve seen tens of thousands of people protesting Newt Gingrich? Have you forgotten about the so called 99%s? Why do you think Mitt Romney won`t release his tax statement ? Did you forget the Nationwide Protest in every major city in the country? Half of this Country is living under the poverty level! Once Obama shows how Mitt Romney made his Millions selling our jobs too China and hardly pays any taxs`, at all! You will see violence in the streets! then Obama will declare Marshal Law then goodby election! Be careful what you wish for!

@jen00:disqus   Time will tell if Beck is really a closet progressive.

Either full blown or quasi.  After all the cheer leading

for conservative values, if this proves to be true, he will

disappoint many, lose a lot of respect plus the folks will

go away in droves—I among them.  I really enjoyed his

TV shows on Fox.  Do you think the stress/strain of his

own network and all that he’s involved with may have

had an effect on his—-I don’t know—personality, mental

acuity?   I’m sure if there is a qualified doctor who reads

these threads and has followed Beck for several years

might be able to shed some light on this. Sad, if it’s true,

but as I stated: time will tell.  Sure liked his shows on

early history of the US.

He doesn’t support a mandate now, and says he was wrong.

While Romney still defends RomneyCare. Oooops.

A serious question for everyone on here.  Many people on here bash Mitt and the Newg.  So are any of the GOP candidates really electable and much different than the progressive in there now?  I think just voting for someone who can beat Obama is political suicide for this country.  I feel like most of the GOP candidates are progressives on the right.  I actually want true change and not just arguing endlessly over the least of the evils.

Go away Satan, you’re stupider than dirt.

don`t confuse fact`s with your opinion, their not the same thing. S C is 90% transplants from all over the Nation. S C has chosen every rep. nomonee since 1980. 6 out of 8 have gone on too become President. That is exactly why todays election is so important! S C is a fair cross section of the American population and Glen Beck is damm well aware of that! Maybe you have`nt been on GB bloggs for awhile but He`s been lying too everyone of us ! he`s been secretly behind a fellow “Mormon” this whole time! now he`s lying again about the exstream importance of today`s election! Glen Beck is trying to force his religion on us! We all know alcoholics who “DRY” up then become preachers!

Did Romney really sell out jobs to China?

Romney & Gingrich are both bad choices.  What’s worse a moderate or a progessive.  They’d tend to make the same decisions for different reasons.

I don’t think so buddy…..Obama likable?    Yeah, perhaps in your world.    Not only can Gingrich win the general election, he can cause many in DC to lose sleep before the election.    Keep reading the Nation and get the true news (sarc).

Absolute fact! that is why he wont show his tax statement!

and I suppose you are the average voter?

What does it make Obama when supporting Mao, Marx, Stalin, Alinski and Ayres?

Newt Gingrich up in SC polls..expected to win.  That is the current headline.    I guess forgiveness is rampant.

An 80 yo Korean War infantry dratftee, I agree with you. Dr Paul’s website blogs get into the real world of veterans & war.
. Everyone calling DR Paul’s FP crazy need read the 1796 Farewell Address of Gen/Pres Geo Washington. He lays out warnings & challenges concerning “interventionism” as understood in our US Constitution, how & when we should preprae to defend ourselves.
Here’s a vote for former USAF surgeon RP, the only vet in the line up.

Brittney; as far as Parker, he claims to be a vet but only told us he works at the VA. We have asked and asked what his MOS (military job) was, and get nothing, he has told us however that he works or worked at the VA. We have told him ours and found out that allot of the OEF/OIF vets posting here have actually served at the same locations, or been through those places. As for Parker, he attemps to discredit a canidate that is backed by allot of troops, both monitarily (granted we make nothing compared to a corp.) and with our voice. All he has proven is he would rather support a canidate backed by the likes of Goldman Sachs and JP Morgan. He has proved that his lack of military experiance/policy/tactics and middle east culture would just get people killed in the name of Big Govt, and oil. He is a true tool bag, through. There is no way to reason with this type, he is simply protecting his govt job at the VA by getting troops killed and injured in war after war after all, with out injured vets there is no VA. To be an allie with a nation does not require constant blood shed, this is why we have diplomacy and sanctions. If war is to be fought it is REQUIRED to be declared by congress, NOT the President. This is the core of his arguement. He would defile the constitution over night in the name of FEAR.   

Your honest and principled
man will stand back and let the Muslim extremists develop weapons that will
enable them to finally finish the work that they have been planning since the beginning
of time. To destroy the big and little satin as they have preached on many occasions.
Listen to their words! They won’t stop until we convert, or we are totally
obliterated. Why can’t you people see that this will be the beginning of the end? A Ron Paul presidency will lead
to the United States of America, truly becoming a war zone. Maybe just a nice
little Iranian EMP off the each of the coasts of our promised land and we will
realize we should have held them off in their own homelands.

Are there any good choices or are we settling for the lesser of the evils?

Are any of the candidates actually going to turn this country around from the current mess we are in?

Carefully we must vet the candidates. It can’t be a media frenzy contriving facts. Stop and think before you react

Glenn, we want a man that FIGHTS! Can’t you get that through your thick skull???

It looks to me if things get much worse Gov Palin is going to have to run

If your saying Ron Paul is Hitler, than you are Chris Mattews. Did you listen to the last debate? He even gave you the facts on Obama care, while the other three continue to show they are incapable of understanding the constitution. Paul stated that it would have to be overturned by a vote in the house as well. He is for the constitution as the other three are not. They are just 180 degree opposite of Obama. You gain nothing if you destroy our constitution. By voting for one of those three you are either for an illegal war, NDAA (specifically giving the president the say in who is a terrorist and who isnt, look at Hitler to see how this type of thinking works out) or is for some sort of SOPA that would restrict our right to even have this conversation. So before you start name calling, reaserch these canidates (excluding main stream media) and make your own choice. I respect your right to vote as you should respect mine. This is still a free country. 

Everyone can see that Newt is no progressive (if he were a progressive, he would have teamed up with Bill Clinton to increase spending. But no, Newt managed to decrease spending. For those of us who actually use our brain, the conclusion is that Newt is no progressive) So I’m thinking: where does this phony obsession of Glenn with Newt being a progressive come from?  
 
The only reason I can come up with: Mitt Romney has payed Glenn to destroy Newt. After all, Mitt is loaded, and even Glenn is only human. And a cool $ 1 million is still a cool $ 1 million. 

So is Glenn Becks` blood pressure! he`s already started his next set of lies going,  by saying S Cs are stupid and the tea party people are liars! Also, the S C election really did`nt matter anyway. WOW!  these mormons stick together!

Newt is a big government guy and this country needs less of that and more power back to the states and the people.

“[Newt Gingrich and Mitt Romney are] the great pretenders right now because they’re trying to pretend and talk and walk like they’re conservatives when… they hardly have a conservative record. Both of them have real problems in their background with the pro-life issue. Both of them supported the $700 billion Wall Street bailout. Both of them were in favor of the climate change reg-legislation. They both were for advocating for – or at least was advocating for Freddie Mac. [Gingrich] was on the take… And they have a serious problem on ObamaCare among a lot of other issues. They were the father and the grandfather of the ObamaCare legislation”.  (Michelle Bachmann)

Go away Satan, you’re stupider than dirt.

Go away Satan, you’re stupider than dirt.

No—It’s RICK SANTORUM!!!   WE CANNOT HAVE PAUL DUE TO H IS CRAZY FOREIGN AFFAIRS POLICIES…

RON PAUL IS  WILLING TO HAND IRAN A NUKE, ALL TIED UP  IN A BIG RED BOW!  NO WAY!

Santorums the one. He’s the one with the least baggage, and the truer conservative than Gingrich or Romney…..I’m so sick of Newt Gingrich and Mitt Romney and we all act, just like the media, like these are the only choices we have.. It’s not..

Rick Santorum has been standing there all along America, right in  front of our eyes. I picked Rick way before Glenn or anybody came out for him. I was behind him when he wa sonly 3 percent…..

SANTORUM has the least baggage of Romney and Gingrich, is the ruere ocnservative and if this were 2009 or 2010, Rick woul dbe so far ahead.

What the hell happened America?  We keep electing the same man over and over again….And we’re about to d it again if we put up Gingrich of Romney–

Santorum CAN Beat Barack Obama!  If he’s  the Nominee. America will GET BEHIND HIM and FIGHT!

Like Rick says, Have the Courage to FIGHT FOR AMERICA!

GO RICK!

My son is very very sick with cancer.  They had to stop his
treatments because he got pneumonia and developed blood
clots.  Blood clots are very common in cancer patients.  He
is now back on the chemo but has a long way to go.  We are
praying for a miracle for him.
I really and truly believe if he had been on Obamacare he
would be dead by now.  An e-mail from Mike on Glenn Beck’s e-mail
had a list of all of the things Newt Gingrich has done.  One was that on
November 15, 2010 Newt  supported Romneycare and blamed the
liberals.  I have not heard where Newt stands on that issue today,
He uses to many platitudes and doesn’t always answer questions
at the debates.  Mitt Romney has stated over and over again that
he will give every state an excemption from Obamacare and will
try to repeal it.  Newt’s position on this issue as of today is ?????
The list of all of the things that Newt did was on Mike’s list.  Many
of the things he believes in will curl your toes.  It is scary.  He
supported individual health care mandates.  He backed Pres Obama’s
health care mandates.  He supported individual health care mandates
when Clinton was President.
I and I believe most of the American people do not want to deny the
poor people in this country health care.  I’d much rather have Paul
Ryan’s plan where individuals can buy their own health insurance
and have the government of the states give a check to the insurance
companies that the poor people  choose for theirselves and
that no person with a pre-existing condition be denied healthcare.
We do not have to have health care under the jurisdiction of the
Federal Government.  We will lose our freedom of choice if the
Government has control.  I do not trust Newt to keep our laws
and constitution intact.  I do not trust Newt at all.

he supported  Romneycare and blamed the liberals.

Ron Paul said seriously in the last debate that if there was a threat to the US, we would blow them to dust and get out.  Not these 10+ year wars.  Wars are extremely costly.  He said he would get a declaration of war and end it quick.  WWII was over in under 4 years.

Go away Satan.

Now you’re a Paulbot.

I am trying to find a true politician who will not be the same destruction of this county but from the other side of the same coin.  I am unaffiliated and it depends on who is the nominee.

War is extremely costly and it cost taxpayers ( the half of us that do) so much of their hard earned money.  I do agree that a billion dollar base more grand than the vatican is insanity and that we should still have the strongest army ever but find ways to cut spending, such as focusing on local bases and domestic bases and protection.  500+ bases in over 150 countries seems a little absurd and extremely costly to this country.

You got it.

The Newg and his record do really scare me too.

I will keep your son in my prayers.

Go away Satan, you’re stupider than dirt.

Go away Satan, you’re stupider than dirt.

If you support Newt, Rick, or Mitt you might as well be supporting Barack.
A progressive is a progressive is a progressive!

I just ignore you now but keep wasting your time!

I will never, ever again reply to your hateful and ignorant comments ever again and I will never go away.

Thank you to all of you who are sending me e-mails
praying for my son.

God Bless you.

Apparently GB has mis-read the whole thing.  Primary voters around the country only want a candidate that expresses the rage they feel.  They don’t want a political ideology or character, and it’s not even about winning.  Rage will fragment the Republican party but not before costing it the 2012 presidential election.

What billion dollar base more grand than the vatican? Who’s feeding you this crap, Satan?

There is NO way Santorum will be elected – the independents & young voters won’t vote for him!!

Go away Satan, you’re stupider than dirt.

Go away Satan, you’re stupider than dirt.

I agree…Voting for someone just because they can beat somebody is political suicide.  How about actually voting for a candidate who is not the same corrupt political BS.

Why are you so ignorant of how the world works? I’ve never heard so much crap come out of one person in my life. Explaining things to you is like trying to teach a cement block how to talk.

You’re stupider than dirt skidmark.

Like Ron Paul? Someone who will guarantee 4 more years of Socialist Obama.

He is Satan, but you have a Grim reaper picture…

It was funny when Michelle B. called the Newg a frugal socialist on GBTV.

You bet! Is that what my picture is?

Some people only post hate on here and hurt the ability for people to have productive conversations on here.

There’s nothing productive about your nonsense skidmark.

Ron Paul seems to be the only true constitutionalist and will reduce the size of the federal government.

So you want to take away Social Security, Medicare, Food Stamps, Housing assistance, Free medical, and give the BOMB to Iran. That’s nice skidmark.

Ron Paul said seriously in the last debate that if there was a threat to the US, we would blow them to dust and get out.  Not these 10+ year wars.  Wars are extremely costly.  He said he would get a declaration of war and end it quick.  WWII was over in under 4 years.

that true 95% of what skidmark says is a down right lie.

So you want to take away Social Security, Medicare, Food Stamps, Housing assistance, Free medical, and give the BOMB to Iran. That’s nice of you skidmark. That will really level the playing field.

It’s not his fault, he has Satan whispering this nonsense in his ear and he’s so stupid he thinks it’s inspiration.

He’s stupider than dirt.

Some people always make stuff up to make a weak argument. Assuming someone’s position is lying.

Nothing made up in this statement skidmark.

So you want to take away Social Security, Medicare, Food Stamps, Housing assistance, Free medical, and give the BOMB to Iran. That’s nice of you skidmark. That will really level the playing field.

It’s Congress who declares war on another Nation, not the President, skidmark. You need to read the Constitution before mouthing off about what Ron Paul has said. You don’t understand how this country works, as I have told you so many times in the past.

You’re stupider than dirt.

Are you serious? Those newsletters have already been explained.
Would a racist do this?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_BYTQ_FeARA

I’m just pointing out the simpleton and lazy mind-set of some of the Paulbots.

They don’t understand the issues or REALITY. They just want someone to make it all go away so they don’t have to think.

I know how you feel Glenn, it is a pull out your hair; by
the roots moment…that shocked deer in the headlights… I think when you went
off the air at Fox; even though I love GBTV; I think many people experienced
loss…just my opinion, they were confused.

People should revisit your words for you always told us it
was up to us to find ourselves; to be true to ourselves, get back to the important
things in our lives for without God we can do nothing. I embrace those words
for they are so true, without God we can do nothing.

We need to be strong in our religion, family & friends, to
be honest with each other standing up for what we believe in, I am not certain
where we are headed but I have faith…

I thought no matter what we would be smart enough to
understand that liberal progressivism is a disease only meant to be heaped upon a free people to oppress & infect their liberty. 

I will pray this night that God will put his hands on this nation’s
people making everyone aware that our choice speaks volumes about who we are as
a people. Hopefully we will shake this uncertain moment off delirium off and still
make the right decision. God bless you & your family Glenn…now all we can
do is pray…we unite…”United We Stand, Divided We Fall.”

There is also progressivism on the right and even GB has warned against that.

A small government and a nation that is governed by laws is what this country was founded on and most of the GOP candidates will not give up their power and are for big government controlling every aspect of our lives.

Hey Jeremy. They are afraid of Ron Paul alright. For the same reason you would be afraid of a mental patient in charge of the justice system.

God bless you and your son.

So you want to take away Social Security, Medicare, Food Stamps, Housing assistance, Free medical, and give the BOMB to Iran. That’s nice of you skidmark. That will really level the playing field.

It’s Congress who declares war on another Nation, not the President, skidmark. You need to read the Constitution before mouthing off about what Ron Paul has said. You don’t understand how this country works, as I have told you so many times in the past.

You’re stupider than dirt.

After 20 years he finally figured out he was wrong. Good for Newt.
I don’t believe a word of it.

You meant to say most of the Democrats, right?

“[Newt Gingrich and Mitt Romney are] the great pretenders right now because they’re trying to pretend and talk and walk like they’re conservatives when… they hardly have a conservative record. Both of them have real problems in their background with the pro-life issue. Both of them supported the $700 billion Wall Street bailout.

You’ve gotten the Propaganda down pat skidmark. You’re like a little parrot mimicking Satan. What liberal website is feeding you this propaganda?

So you want to take away Social Security, Medicare, Food Stamps, Housing assistance, Free medical, and give the BOMB to Iran. That’s nice of you skidmark. That will really level the playing field.

So you’re for Ron Paul skiermark?

I’m pretty sure Bachmann dropped out of the race.  Are you for Bachmann or Ron Paul?

Just because I posted a quote from Bachmann doesn’t mean anything about her being in the race or not.

Who are you for if you are so concerned about who I am for?

Then why are you posting something that has nothing to do with the GOP Presidential race? You do understand that candidates say all kinds of things when they run against each other?

It doesn’t mean it is not true.  I am a constitutionalist and I am for whomever will give the power back to the people.  A small government and a nation that is governed by laws is what this country was founded on and most of the GOP candidates will not give up their power and are for big government controlling every aspect of our lives.

I’m a lifelong Progressive. I don’t quite know what you are and what you’re for. You seem to be all over the place.

I ask questions and try to understand peoples point of views and who is the best candidate to actually bring the change this country so desperately needs.  I am a constitutionalist who thinks we need to reduce the size of the federal government and give power back to the people and more power to the states.

What does that mean “give the power back to the people?” don’t the people have power through the legal system and our Constitution? Last I heard, the GOP wanted to reduce Government.

So who is the best candidate? You seem to make more statements than ask questions. Do you want to do away with the social programs the country has right now?

The only candidate I have heard say that they would reduce the federal government was RP but maybe others have.

It is suppose to that the people have the power but is obvious that the people with money and power have the reigns.

My taxes are fine. I wouldn’t show mine out of spite. That shows nothing.

I think the other candidates are also running on a smaller Government platform as well. You should know that. Do you think that the Nations Social programs should be cut?

Do you want to do away with the social programs the country has right now?

Some social programs are a money vacuum but as far as getting rid of all of them, I don’t know.

Wrong, Glenn. It is so easy to justify that it takes little or no thought.
I made my decision long before the nominating process began. I like Newt and I always have.
He was there, involved, and instrumental during the Reagan years. 16 million new jobs is nothing to scoff at. He presided over engineering not 1 historic shift in Congress, but 2 and when he wins the nomination, he will organize a 3rd.
He was Speaker during slick Willie’s tenure and presided over another 11 million job boon.
Every time this guy is involved in the machinations of D.C. taxes drop, jobs are created, we STOP spending more than we are taking in (balanced budgets), regulatory burdens shift to a more tolerable level (government gets out of the way of the private sector) and the economy actually grows as it should as opposed to the multiple disastrous outcomes of the moron (means “mighty warrior” in Swahili lol) who currently occupies the Oval Office.
You are so hell bent on attacking Newt that you are incapable of seeing the upside potential.
Only in history does past behavior predict future outcomes. In the life of each individual, we are able to learn from our mistakes. It does not matter if you follow Judeo/Christian doctrine, Mormon, Catholic….makes no difference. They share common themes. Love. Forgiveness. Redemption. Repentance. Yet, YOU, Glenn, discount ALL of those themes and automatically stipulate that it is impossible for Newt to have encountered or experienced ANY of those themes. 
Well, you are a public figure well adjusted and accustomed to taking the heat for the things that you say. 
Please indulge me and allow me to point out that it would be a tiny bit hypocritical for me as an alcoholic (clean and sober for 15+ years now! Thanks to God) to criticize you and refuse to acknowledge the fact that you have CHANGED and turned from that lifestyle. Yet, you basically do the same to Newt EVERY DAY! What does that make you?

You think the other candidates are but show me who has said it.

I do. Slowly. The people who have put in already must get what they have planned for.
It’s a weaning off process. Just like Mr. Paul promotes.

What people are you talking about? Are you a OWS person?

They all have said it. they are playing to the right and the Tea party. Haven’t you been listening?

In my opinion it is either going to be Ron Paul or Obama as our next president. I am voting for Paul in the General election whether he is on the ticket or not, and I know a lot of the Paul supporters feel the same way. Voting for Newt, Mitt or Rick is essentially voting for Obama.  

The only one I have heard say it in the last debate was RP.

So which ones would you get rid of?

never been to an OWS event

You ask so may ?’s, so you tell me which ones you would get rid of?

I’ve heard Bachmann say it, Newt say it, Rick Santorum and Mit Romney say it also.

Where is the proof?

I am not saying I disagree but if all of the GOP candidates actually want less government, than that is hard to believe.

Romney, Newt, Ron Paul and Santorum all said they were for smaller government in Iowa and New Hampshire. You really didn’t hear it, did you? It’s a GOP mantra.

Do you believe them all?  They haven’t all said that anyways.

I’m a lifelong Progressive skiermark. Do you know what a Progressive is? I wouldn’t get rid of any of them.

You tell me what is a progressive and what do you believe in?

Yes they have. More than once since this all began. Where have you been?

And you believe all of them?

I have worked for the other two debates so I could only watch the last one and only RP said he would reduce the size of the govt.

So do people call you a socialist because you believe in social programs such as welfare?

Why don’t you do some research on what a Progressive is. We’re for bigger social programs and Government control.

We’re for the poor and the middle class and higher taxes on the rich to support a better society.

What are you for? What programs would you cut? I keep asking but you keep evading the question. Why?

I agree.

I’m not afraid of being called a socialist skiermark. What should I call you? You seem confused.

I would stop bigger breaks for the wealthiest because the trickle down affect is a proven failure.  Corporate profits up 60% in four years and less jobs than ever.  

You are on the internet skiermark. It’s all here.

It was a legitimate question and not an attack.  Call me what you want because many people lie and assume things and call people every uneducated name in the book.

of course…I just asked what you believe in.

I believe that if they get elected (any of them) they will sign any bill sent to them by congress, so I say yes.

Most politicians scare me anymore.

Most politicians scare me and thinking that anyone will save us and this country seems like political suicide for this country.

I haven’t called you anything, I just asked what you are and what you’re for. You seem confused. Some of your posts that Ive been reading makes me thing that you’re a Progressive, some make me think that your a OWS guy and some make me think you’re a follower of Ron Paul.

So what are you for and what are you. You keep calling yourself a Constitutionalist but you promote social equality.

How so. Should we do away with the Political structure of the country?

I ask questions and I never said you called me anything but many others on here like to lie and name call.

“Most politicians scare me anymore.”

I’m sorry but that didn’t make sense.

Is in not okay to be a constitutionalist and be for social equality.  Wasn’t MLK Jr. a social issues conservative.  I don’t like labeling myself anything because I believe it limits yourself.

Why are you attacking me..because I ask questions?

How would you do that if you’re a Constitutionalist? Tax the rich or change the law?

I feel that most of the candidates are no different than the last 2 presidents, whom both continued with extremely costly wars, Quanatative easing and bailouts and more of a top down society.

You said ” Call me what you want because many people lie and assume things and call people every uneducated name in the book.”

I haven’t called you anything. You do seem to want to dodge my questions.

I haven’t attacked you. Show me where I have attacked you?

First of all I think we should get corporate influence out of elections and corporations AND unions should not be allowed to contribute as much undisclosed funds as they want to elections.

I am sorry if I dodged anything.  I will try my best to answer every one.

So how would you fix it? Would you give the Government more control over society to ensure equality and a level playing field.

Would you increase taxes or regulations to achieve your goal?

Do you think money is free speech?  I have not had a conversation directly with a progressive so I just try to get every perspective to make the best decisions.

In a way I think people should be able to do what they want with their money and that the deck shouldn’t be stacked against the working class, which makes this country what it is.

How would you do that, through regulation, doing away with the Supreme Court who just decided that it’s Unconstitutional to restrict free speech during an election?

If we give government more power to do so couldn’t they use that power to give the rich more power and money.

I don’t know who passed the law but i know it was done recently in 2010?  Wasn’t McCain involved in that decision?

It’s Ok for people to do what they want with their money but you think the deck is stacked against the working class. How would you do that? If it’s OK for people to do what they want, how would you stop them from making money?

If we take away the Governments power wouldn’t the same thing happen? (The rich get richer through less regulation)

how so?

I have been leaning towards a flat tax rate but the breaks for the wealthiest have already ruined this country.

No McCain wasn’t involved in the decision (it’s not a law).

I’ll leave that up to you to research what happened. I’m not posting to you to educate you, I just wanted to know what you’re for and what you’re against.

You seem to be all over the place.

The rich will get richer because it takes money to make money and the top have most of the money.

I ask questions to try and make the best decision.  I believe in the constitution and not giving breaks and loopholes for the wealthiest.

Regulatory laws dictate what large Corporations can do and what they can’t do. I’m shocked that you don’t know this, you post about it over and over.

How am I all over the place?  I don’t claim to know everything that is why I have productive conversations with people.

A flat tax would tax the poor who right now are free from paying taxes. Do you want to hurt the poor people in this country?

negative

What about those people who earned that money?

I know that corporations run this world and that is Facism.

If people earn money legitimately is okay, but not when it is through corruption or an unfavorable system.

If you take away the loopholes then you also hurt the middle class who also have many loopholes that help them to prosper. Which loopholes would you take away?

I know that corporations run this world and that is Facism and corporations are a fictional entity and not a person.  

I don’t think corporations should be able to buy elections.

loopholes favoring the wealthiest

I appreciate people like you who have fruitful discussion on here.  Many don’t like to do so.  I know I am ignorant on some subjects and that is why I seem confused and why I ask questions.

You keep claiming that you’re a Constitutionalist which means that you want smaller government but then you don’t want to give up any social programs. That’s socialism to me.

You want to punish the Banks and increase taxes on the rich, that’s a OWS plan.

You want to have a flat tax but that would hurt the middle class and the poor.

See what I mean, you’re all over the place. Why don’t you become a Progressive like me and just give the Government the power to mandate social equality for all and forget this Capitalistic slide of hand governing system that we have in this country?

 WHY would anyone in their right mind vote for New?! What is wrong with America? Are we not paying attention?

Loopholes also favor the middle class. You’re all in favor of the middle class aren’t you?

I think you need to get a bit more informed about the operation of this country and come on over to the Progressive side of politics.

So once again I’ll ask you, what are you, I mean what are you really for and how are you going to get there?

fas·cism
noun ˈfa-ˌshi-zəm also ˈfa-ˌsi-

1 often capitalized : a political philosophy, movement, or regime (as that of the Fascisti) that exalts nation and often race above the individual and that stands for a centralized autocratic government headed by a dictatorial leader, severe economic and social regimentation, and forcible suppression of opposition
2: a tendency toward or actual exercise of strong autocratic or dictatorial control
— fas·cist noun or adjective often capitalized
— fas·cis·tic adjective often capitalized
— fas·cis·ti·cal·ly adverb often capitalized

Where are corporations in the definition again? You so love to get caught lying.

Yes sir…I really appreciate the great conversation but gotta run.  Hope to see you around to continue.  I’ll ponder on what we discussed.  

Who determines that the system is unfavorable? The 99% that can not get 20% to participate?

I said I was leaning towards a flat tax but unsure.  I have never been to an OWS event.  And I never said I wanted to cut social progams but that some are money vacuums.  

To bad SCOTUS does not agree with you and has not since 1819.

That is part of it and the half that don’t pay taxes.  But corporations have more power than people and that is unconstitutional.

Apparently the majority are not.

Are you going to be rude or have a productive discussion?  I am all for fruitfulness.

I hope you do a bit more research into what you really are. You won’t be so confused with a bit more knowledge about how the real world works. Study the Constitution, it’s a good area to start the journey. It’s not enough to say you’re a Constitutionalist if you don’t understand the document.

I’m not around here much so we might not meet here again.

If you believe in it then write it correctly: Constitution.

Most voters are watching MSM and the political ads. They don’t actually look at voting records and what the candidates actually say, nor do they know their history. Most have not read the constitution either, so they have no clue what rights they are supposed to have as we the people.

Look for it right next to where you left your proof.

He hasn’t a clue Todd. LMAO

I love that “Biggametracker” Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha

Even [He] couldn’t get a straight answer from the idiot.

I am having a productive discussion, sorry you are not smart enough to understand that SCOTUS declared Corporations to have the same rights as people as early as 1819, in Trustees of Dartmouth College v. Woodward, 17 U.S. (4 Wheat.) 518.

But then again I do not expect someone with your limited intelligence to understand that. If you are wrong, how am I being rude?

Hello, Houston to skeirmark, the 50% that do not pay taxes are POOR or LOW INCOME. In 2009 they made less than $32,396, should they seriously pay for everyone?

Todd, he doesn’t know what SCOTUS means. He thinks you’re calling him names.

There are only two people running:  Ron Paul and Barack Obama.  Anything else is just smoke and mirrors.  But then, God *did* say he would send strong delusion…  

Oh, I forgot he is slow, Supreme Court of the United States. Hope that helps skiermark.

I agree.

That was some Progressive victory speech Newt gave tonight……………………….not.

Dissing Saul Alinsky radicals is so Progressive.
Wanting to get rid of all the Czars is so Progressive.
Wanting to open up all our energy resources is so Progressive.
Saying Ron Paul has been right for 20 years about the Federal Reserve is so Progressive.
Saying we cannot allow our country to become a European style Socialist entitlement society is so Progressive.
Saying that the elites in Washington and the Press don’t understand America is so Progressive.
Saying that bigoted, anti-religion and dictatorial judges have to be held accountable is so Progressive.
Saying that the Federal Government has got to be scaled back dramatically and power restored to the states is so Progressive.
Saying that we have to bring back a sense of pride in earning a paycheck, instead of receiving entitlements is so Progressive.
Saying we need to look to the Declaration of Independence and the Founding Fathers is so Progressive.

Not.

Gee, it sounds like Glenn Beck.

And this is the stuff I have heard him say repeatedly for over 20 years consistently. Yet we are told that cherry picked comments spun in a certain way prove just the opposite.

Hey Glenn. I don’t know what your problem is, but you seriously need to get a clue.

If you don’t like someone because of their messy personal life and 1 ethics violation, I completely understand. But calling someone a Progressive, who is clearly a Conservative on pretty much everything that matters is just sad.

I will not drink your Kool-Aid, nor anyone elses.

Anyone who thinks it’s likely this guy would govern like a RINO or a Progressive is just plain clueless. Whether you like him or not, this guy feels it is his destiny to lead the nation back to the founding principles. He will screw up and make some mistakes, like everybody,  but what he does right, would make a dramatic change for the better.

See above.

Your only argument could be that he doesn’t mean it.

And that is totally unproveable and is inconsistent with the facts. In other words, weak.

Ron Paul has no chance, so you better deal with it.

Hopefully, President Ogabe can be defeated without any Paulbot support. But if Ogabe were to win because of rigid idealogues screwing us because they couldn’t get their way, the meltdown, collapse, and catastrophe that follows is on them.

There won’t be another election cycle if O gets reelected.

You apparently weren’t listening to him 2 months ago.  Just last week he said if Newt were the nominee he might have to write in Ron Paul.  He doesn’t get a thrill in his pants for Romney either….of the 4, he finds Santorum the most trustworthy in his opinion.

“Delusions” is a good word for your post.

*The only problem with that approach, bjv, is that it will take a number of years for it to be effective. Besides, Washington has already sided against the States (New Mexico in particular), so changing the bottom might not be as effective as changing the rulers of our country. Change at the top is needed NOW, not after the USA is destroyed by the Federal government. *

**
*At least politicians should be changed (their diapers are dirty), and that is how I see it.*

It is an insane claim.  Military support for Ron Paul is only 4.4% at best according to a study done recently.  Saying the majority of military support Paul are what his supporters would like to believe.  It’s all fuzzy math though like O’s.

Perhaps South Carolinians value redemption, forgiveness and Grace. If not for those values we would all be lost.

I don’t have to deal with it. I have a choice, and that choice is to vote my principles. As for your list of what is or not progressive about Newt I only have one question for you. That question is which time he opened his mouth on the issue? Both him and mitt are serial flip floppers. Their biggest opponents are themselves, just a few years ago. Serial flip floppers, serial hypocrisy, serial liars. Now that may be inconsequential to you but I prefer leaders with a spine and principles. I only see one with either of those attributes.

The Word is the Eternal Living Word. God *does* say…

I hope you do understand that I think what Ron Paul said about Bachman & Santorum on the Leno Show was dispicable & that I’m glad Paul has not the remotest chance of being the Republican nominee. If I were to engage in Ron Paul type hyperbole, it would seem, considering his past news letters, that he is more likely to be an anti-Semite than it is that Santorum & Bachman hate Muslims or gays. I for one don’t believe they hate anyone. If Doc Paul wants to throw stones, maybe he shold start with himself & those news letters, the contents of which he claims to have had no clue. In my opinion, only in the Twilight Zone does Paul have the closest chance of beating Obama next to Romney, so why report it.

That might be what he said within the last week. What has he said before that contridicts every thing he said. Everyone of those issues he has supported the other side either in voting record or with his fat kid mouth. He is no different than romney. Who could believe him? He has changed his views and opinions so many times. There is only so many times you can flip flop before your character is in question. With him voting and defending and supporting both sides of an issue I guess he has himself covered when it comes down to debates, but when it comes to leading newt and mitt are both wishy washy pandering shrubs, that have zero care for what is right. They only want to win. Now you are free to vote for who you want but the ”anyone but obama” vote is just as stupid as the delusion that obama is a good president. Essentially obama, mitt, amd newt are all the same candidate, with slight variations.

He doesn’t mean it. He has already proven that by having contradictory stances on nearly all of those issues before. He may mean to get votes for those positions, but he doesn’t care about the issue. He never said anything about the fed before he seen he could siphon some paul supporter votes by taking that stance. He just mashes everyone elses principles together and regurgitates the talking points to who he is talking to. It is called pandering.

Shut up Glenn! You’re turning into a very sorry-a$$ loser.

you just described Mitt Romney too the tee!!  Thats why Romney can`t score out of the 20%s in any election! the guys a liberal(Romney) who`s posing as a republican!

sounds like God stopped by your house first!

It is the case with newt as well.

well it`s appearent their not listening too you! that`s for sure!

Newt won by a near landslide compared too Mr.Paul ! I know with our present government treachery is the flavor of the day and is perpetuated by the liberal media on a daily basis so I`ll exuse the fact that you can`t recognize a True StatesMan when you see one!

After today’s primary while Gingrich was talking issues with details & a game plan, the others were talking in generalities & platitudes.
Even if he doesn’t follow thru, at least Gingrich is talking about real issues like the Canadian pipeline & pointing out the Saul Alinsky influences of the Marxist in the White House & how dangerous our Socialist & Chief is.
People need to know who Obama really is & Gingrich will tell them, while Romney panders to the establishment, Paul consults with Rod Serling & Santorum wears his heart on his sleeve.
Say what you will about Gingrich, but it cannot be denied, a lot of welfare reform & other good things happened in spite of the negative, when he was House Speaker.
What have the others accomplished compared to him, when you weigh the good against the bad?
Gingrich says he’s found God & is not the same guy he used to be. Maybe we should believe him, give him a chance & consider that some good things got accomplished when he was Speaker, whether the President @ the time was Clinton or Reagan.

Well said ! thank you

Well stated!

Newt has`st been in the US Government for over 15 yr.s. maybe you ought to lay off the Glenn Beck kool- Aid for awhile and sober up!

Did I miss something?  Has Gingrich won the GOP nomination?

How could he be a “sorry-axx loser” when he hasn’t lost anything?

tshady, the name says it all !  he`s detoxing off the Glenn Beck kool-aid ! let`s cut him a little slack, ok?

play that video clip again and tell me Glenn Beck aint pissed! GB wanted his fellow Mormon budd Romney too win today in S C ! he was even freaking stan out!

The newsletters were pulished in Ron Paul’s name.

I make less than $32,396 but I don’t think anybody should have to pay for everyone.  When did I say that?

 Wow, now your even responding to yourself, shorcutt?

Tell your mom to stop feeding you those white chips that smell like paint.

It is very unfortunate that Dr.Paul is not a psychiatrist. Maybe he could have treated himself and some of his followers.

It is very unfortunate that Dr.Paul is not a psychiatrist. Maybe he could have treated himself and some of his followers.      

A true statesman? You are kidding right? He is a serial hypocrite and serial flip flopper. He doesn’t have to be in government for him to be a flip flopper. Hypocrisy is his middle name. Getting head shots from his 3rd wife while married to his second, and lecturing the president about his discresions on moral grounds. Supporting federal funding for abortions for rape and incest cases, yet he is pro life. He is not a statesman. Statesmen are guided by principles, and they vote their principles, as well as do what they say they are going to do. Newt is just a deception expert, something I cannot support.

Dr. Paul is the only statesman in the race. I am sorry you are only looking for what the MSM is calling the electible candidates. You might try and pick apart some of the “principled” positions of your candidate and find the truth. Gingrich panders for a vote, he does not stick to his guns any longer than to get a vote, then goes the other way. He has no principles except the principle to get elected at any cost, and that means lying, cheating, insider trading (fannie/freddie), not to mention his ethics case.

Voting for Newt is voting the establishment line. Nothing will be different.

“…the half that don’t pay taxes…”
There is a reason they do not pay taxes, they can little afford to.

I agree Todd.  So you believe in greater taxes for the rich?

Just curious of your opinion/solutions?

I’m not on the beck kool-aid. I am on the constitution kool aid. I am voting for a principled candidate, not a wishy washy, flip flopping, vote pandering, ethically challenged, hypocritical, principle compromising duche bag. I am voting for Paul. Even if I have to write him in. Now you can vote for who ever you want and I really don’t give a sh!t. That is your vote, but if the republican party wants to be around for a few more election cycles, it would be a good idea to find some principled candidates that vote consistently for the constitution. If not I see a huge loss for the country this election cycle, and several years of liberty raping by the progressives until the revolution happens. I hope you have stocked up on ammo. I have.

Then why do you continue to take issue with them not paying taxes?
No, I do not advocate for an increase in the tax rate for the rich, I advocated for increasing the tax base. One day you might understand the difference.

My opinions on the subject are in my profile, go do some homework.

Just because you can’t label me in some small political box doesn’t mean i don’t know what I am talking about.  MLK Jr. was a conservative who was concerned about social issues.

And yes I know what the constitution is and has provided for this country.  Just because I don’t capitalize it doesn’t mean anything.  Do you harass people who don’t capitalize God?

That may be true, but without Dr. Paul’s 10-15% support and independent appeal, the GOP will lose.

One things 4 sure. Obama & his community disorganizing Saul Alinsky Chicago Way pals will be & are already getting down & dirty. I believe Obama said it once himself while quoting from a movie that if the opposition brings a knife, he brings a gun etc. This campaign will not be for the faint of heart.

Did I try to label you as anything other than an idiot that does not know what he is talking about? No.

Letter from MLK Jr. to Viva Sloan, October 2, 1956:
“Dear Miss Sloan:
Thanks for your very kind letter of September 17, making inquiry concerning the way the Negro will vote in the coming election. I am of the impression that the Negro voter will go largely for the Democratic Party. I haven’t fully decided which candidate I will vote for. In the past I have always voted the Democratic ticket. At this point I am still in a state of indecision. Stevenson seems to be more forthright on the race question than Eisenhower, but the Democratic Party is so inexplicably bound to the South this it does leave doubt in the minds of those interested in civil rights. Let us all hope that the candidate most concerned with the welfare of all people of America will win the election.
Sincerely your,
M.L. King Jr.
President
MLKamlb
P.S. There gas been nothing published from this office taken from letters received from sympathizers in our cause.

Not really conservative sounding is he if he was voting for the party of the Progressives? Did he have some conservative principles, to that I will stipulate.

Your name calling weakens your argument and will never change anybodies opinions.

He also said he isn’t sure which way he will vote.  Confining yourself to a small box limits ones self.

Yes, the proper way to write it is Constitution, since you are talking about the Federal version, not several state versions, so your CONTINUED failure to do so proves you are an IDIOT.

It depends, if they are polytheist, no.

I did not call you a name, I named what you prove yourself to be.

He also states what he has voted in the past, or are you selective about the parts you want to read and comprehend? Did you think there might be a reason I quoted the entire letter other than the ladies address?

“Let us all hope that the candidate most concerned with the welfare of all people of America will win the election”…it sounds as if he voted for who would help the welfare of the people and help with the civil rights movement but he definitely had many conservative views and of course some views that were not.  And that seems to be frowned upon in todays society.  If you don’t confine yourself to some constrictive label-you don’t know what you are talking about.

maybe if it was a published/professionla article but arguing over such little deals makes for a weak argument

The election was still a month away at the time of the writing of the letter. Did I dispute that he had conservative views? Do you even know what stipulate means?

Actually it makes your arguments weak, uninformed, and very disrespectful.

Of course but you bash me for having some views that are from both ends.

No, I comment on the fact that your facts are wrong. Your views are irrelevant. But you do not understand this do you?

Bashing someone because they don’t limit themselves by restricting themselves to some narrow term/label makes your arguments weak, uninformed, and very disrespectful.

You don’t have many friends do you?

No, I comment on the fact that your facts are wrong. Your views are irrelevant. But you do not understand this do you?
MLK Jr. had may views that were conservative and some that were not.  Bashing someone because they don’t limit themselves by restricting themselves to some narrow term/label makes your arguments weak, uninformed, and very disrespectful.

“Let us all hope that the candidate most concerned with the welfare of all people of America will win the election”…it sounds as if he voted for who would help the welfare of the people and help with the civil rights movement but he definitely had many conservative views and of course some views that were not. And that seems to be frowned upon in todays society. If you don’t confine yourself to some constrictive label-you don’t know what you are talking about.

Actually…
When I see your discussions with others and myself I feel bad for you.
Your political and philosophical beliefs are so ingrained into your life that you don’t search for facts.
Your focus has, is and always will be wrapped into the glenn beck cult that you are too weak to leave.
I truly do wish you had the strength to leave his cult, but it is obvious you are beyond saving.

He is beyond being saved and hopefully the country hasn’t fallen into the same trap that Todd has.  I still have some hope in this country!

Did I inquire as to how you feel for me? Maybe because I could care less about how you feel for me.

I don’t search for facts? Your calling MLK Jr. a Conservative, and he discusses Stevenson (a Liberal Democrat) and Eisenhower (a domestic Conservative Republican). Who did he back in 1960? His autobiography says he voted for JFK, over Conservative Nixon. He also said if JFK had survived he would have endorsed him in 1964. How are those facts working for you? I am still waiting on you to provide ONE fact.

Do you like being wrong as often as skiermark?

With your intellect, not much.

Who’s New?  Guess Nutter’s not paying attention either.

I totally agree with Glenn Beck’s thoughts on this. What is so shocking is we have been preparing for three years to recognize the signs of Progressives, and all this time people kept saying” We don’t want a career politician”, when they will do just that. They don’t want to look at ‘Their’ favorite canadate’s past, but they want to look at everyone else’s, which is fine, but when Newt started saying his past was ‘off limits’, that was a big Red Flag for me, especially since I know many of the underhanded tricks and stunts he has pulled. The latest ones should have waken up Republicans and conservatives, especially the Tea Party, but sadly it doesn’t seem to. One SC voter even bragged that he voted for Gingrich because Gingrich was the Tea Party Favorite. Oh My gosh! Are we going to have to ‘pick our poison’ in Nov? Another thing that bother me is people saying ‘Out Right Blantant Lies’ about Romney, and even putting words in his mouth that he did not say. Romney hasn’t complained once. Maybe he should,but it seems that no matter what Romney does, many have decided that it isn’t good enough, and that is a shame, because Romney would be 100 times better president than Gingrich. Santorum would be 100 times better. Even Ron Paul would be 100 times better. South Carolinins voted based on emotions, not with their heads.

hay buddy haveing some fun i see.

Congrats to all you Newtered fans for the win in SC.  The fight goes on.  Go Ron Paul

poor skidmark thinks satan is Jesus.

For today, and every day you post here, I will post your lies on every comment you make on this site….

Why don’t you just go away you liar and Phony Soldier. Everyone would understand that move on your part. Your hate and ignorance is not winning any converts here. You’re the butt of jokes and ridicule.

Please see a professional about your fixation on little children strtlk/mtclayboy.

You’re a lying sack of crap. You denied serving on a submarine, and knowing what SSBN was. I posted your words verbatim.

You’re a Wikipedia sailor and a lying puke.

Here’s your “one on one” you little puke of a man.

1. As mtclayboy you claimed that you served on a BOOMER. As strtlk you claimed not to know what a Boomer or a SSBN was “I don’t care” were your exact words. You also stated that you didn’t know where Bangor, Wa. was which is where Boomers (submarines) are fitted for duty.
Any real Submariner would know that. You didn’t!

2. You then changed your story and claimed that you were on a BOOMER. You lied.

3. As mtclayboy you claimed that you had damaged your ears while serving on a Submarine. As strtlk, you claimed that you damaged your ears while serving on a submarine.

4. As mtclayboy you claimed that you joined the Navy and served for five years on a submarine but according to the timeline you gave that was proven to be a lie. You lied.

5. As mtclayboy you said that you were a Fireman. As strtlk, you claimed you were a Fireman.

6. As mtclayboy and as strtlk, you posted the same bigotry and hate against Glenn Beck almost word for word even using the same spelling and grammatical errors and focusing on the children. I’ve posted many of them here already.

Are you catching on everyone? He’s a liar plain and simple and nothing he claims can be believed.

Folks, I have the posts of these two Phonies and have posted just a couple to prove he is a liar and just makes up stories about his Military Service. His latest story is right out of Wikipedia. His classified VMS crap is also right out of Wikipedia and US NAVY.mil. I’m a member there.

He wants to take me on “one on one” when he’s already proven in his own words that he’s a liar and a fake.

Flag the idiot so he can come back as another loser like his other fake ID “Vinny” where hes a 10 year Army Sargent on another classified secret mission that he can’t talk about.

There you go loser, “one on one” only I backed up my posts with facts and your own words as proof. Why don’t you have the balls to admit to your lies, tuck your head up your A$$, take your bigotry and hate and Phony Soldier ID and leave us honest people alone?

Once again, Here you are caught in your lies. These are your words verbatim:

strtlk said: on Hollywood elites want to be taxed more 09/24/11 07:51 PM

“1. No idea where Bangor, WA is. I thought Bangor was in Maine!
2. What the heck is a “Boomer” or SSBN? You know what…I don’t care!
3. Reminding people that glenn was a dead beat dad is a factual statement about him, not his innocent children. Nice try though slime ball.
3. Either talk about something relevant and stop this, you are jason bourne crap!”

Caught in your lies strtlk.

Thanks for proving me correct.

Folks, strtlk/mtclayboy has been caught in his lies, He’s a lying sack of crap.

Beck you are going to lose your TR if you keep drinking.

Sorry Glenn, say what you will about Newt, his record as speaker lines up with the TEA Party perfectly.

Under speaker Gingrich we had the first balance budget in 4 years with a projected surplus, reform of entitlements and the largest capital gains tax cut.

We can go back and fourth all day long about the mans shady personal life, but I really don’t think the 53% of Americans who disapprove of this president are going to let what happened in Newts personal life 20 years ago make them forget about the economic despair and intentional destruction. By this president.

Newt doesn’t fit with the Republican platform of family values, but so what the GOP can wither and die for all I care. The TEA Party which is a strictly fiscal movement, social issues do not ,after in the least bit to the TEA Party movement, so the tea party shouldn’t care about Newts personal life, but the TEA Party should recognize that Newt moved the ball the furthest for the cause of limited government than even Reagan did…. I mean come on, the BB, Welfare reform, he dragged a liberal president kicking and screaming to sign it to boot, I think he knows how to be effective in the face of opposition.

I used to love Glenn Beck, but when made that statement that the TEA Party is racist if they choose Newt he completely lost me. The TEA Party wants a balanced budget. The TEA Party wants entitlement and spending reform. newt is the only candidate that actually got that done in government.

Sure his own party wanted him gone after 4 years because the GOP establishment LOVES big government just as much as the democrats. The GOP just wants their members to sound limited government act limited government but not actually limit government for real. This is why newt had to be forced out, he was hurting that gravy train the elite GOP loved so much, and this is why his former “colleagues” are terrified of him getting the nomination, because he might actually make good on the promise of limited government. We all know Romney won’t, in fact soon as elected he will find ways to grow government even more from where Obama took us.

Sorry, first Balanced budget in 50 years (not since Ike had we spent less or equal to what we take in)

You really think with those newsletters he can beat the first black president?!

Doesn’t matter if he wrote those newsletters or not. Just matters what the media implies, not reality… Ask Herman Cain how that works out.

alterPaul is not honest, his foreign policy ideas are dangerous, he is a 9/11 truther who is also a racist and anti-Semite. On Dec 29, 2011 alterPaul said “yes I knew about the letters and may have contributed to some of them”. In 2011 alterPaul was voted ‘ear mark king” of congress. In 2011 he voted to end all foreign aid EXCEPT to those islamic thugs in palestine. In 2011 he voted against the transportation of minors to get abortions without their parents knowledge. In 2011 he said the US was responsible for Pearl Harbor attack. He has said for years than Iran is not a threat to the world or US in particular. He has said it is not an issue if Iran gets nukes, they are all talk. He has said of course Iran should have nukes Israel wants to destroy them.
alterPaul lives in some weird twisted alternate universe where there is no reason or rational thought. His alterPaulbots are just as bad.

alterPaul and his alterPaulbots know as much about the Founding o this country and the Constitution as Fred Phelps knows about the Bible.

Sorry, that is incorrect. Just ask Jefferson when he sent troops to Tripoli.

What is the matter with some of you people? You condemn anyone that disagrees with you? If your wives, husbands, children or friends don’t tout your views, will you turn your back on them too? Glenn has the forum to share his thoughts; let him learn on his own what the right path is, which may not be necessarily yours. I for one prefer hearing all sides and given the ability to discern for myself what is.

I value Glenn’s opinion more than anyone else. He has opened my eyes to what is happening in America. People are voting for Newt because of the way he stands out during the debates & they want the President defeated. If Glenn would just come out & give his support to one of the candidates, I think it would make a big difference. He could really help. I understand that as a radio personality, he wants to stay neutral, but if he is so against Newt shouldn’t he support someone? I believe he knows who the Progressives are better than anyone else. We need your help Glenn before this goes too far!!!

Jeremy

I haven’t been on drugs the last 20 years. I know what I have heard and seen. I have probably heard hundreds of Gingrich interviews and speeches. He has been very consistent.

Anyone who puts themselves out there that much, for that long, is going to have sound bites of things that can be taken out of context, things that they have changed their minds on, or even things they might have been wrong on.

That’s called being realistic.

If you are looking for idealogical purity, you are using the same mind-set as hardened Marxists.

You are voting for a Utopian ideal that is neither realistic, nor possible at this time. Blindly following Utopian ideals to the detriment of the greater good always ends in tragedy if too many people do it.

Ron Paul has raised legitimate issues and has made a significant impact on the debate about where to go from here. He has made an important contribution.

But a Ron Paul Presidency would be an absolute failure, if not an utter disaster just from his naive foreign policy beliefs alone.

So you’re a mind reader now?

For every example which you perceive as contradictory, there are dozens, or hundreds of examples that are not.

Anyone can cherry pick Ron. Life’s short, and people aren’t robots. Lighten up and smell reality.

Who here would not like to make money the old fashion way, by earning it?   And who here would like to earn the highest interest on that money?    Who here would rather pay the government more taxes than they have to?    If you’ve honestly answered these questions, then you are the majority of people who want to protect our future.

You just described Romney again.

And since when does someone who agrees with Osama Bin Laden, become a statesman?

Give me a break. Ron Paul has no foreign policy experience and has never had any experience in dealing with foreign leaders except for allowing Jihadists and Dictators to use him in sound bites for their propaganda.

I don’t believe people are robots, but apparently you do. Newt has been preaching Conservative Principles for over 30 years, and he has been doing it consistently, and actually got things done when he had the chance.

Paul has raised valid and important points about domestic and economic policy, but has accomplished zilch.

Paul has also allied himself with conspiracy nuts and been a champion of Pork Barrel spending, while hypocritically voting against the bills he puts pork into. Give me a break.

Paulbots are scarier.

Ryan, Gingrich was not originally my pick;  but I see the bigger picture and he is, in my opinion the one that can out debate Obama.   He’s smarter, knows his hitory and isn’t afraid of the machine that will use every means to destroy their opponent, ie Gingrich.   I think the others don’t have the backbone NG has.

When Sarah Palin was running for VP as a Republican, I joined the Republican Women’s
League.  First time and last time I ever joined a political party.  When the Republicans put
her down because she was a rebel who would not kowtow to the Republican Party’s agenda,
I called the Republican Women’s League and told them to take me off of their list. 
I will never join another political party and I will remain the Independent I was before
the 2008 election.
I am however going to vote Republican this time because I do not like the direction
that Pres. Obama is taking our country.
With all the descension in the field of candidates this year I have to make a choice
on who to vote for.  I was going to vote for Herman Cain but the liberal press once
again crucified the man and he dropped out.
Now, I have made the choice to vote for Mitt Romney over Newt Gingrich.  I have
asked God to help me convey my message to all of you on why I picked Romney.
I believe I am older than many of you who comment here and remember what
Newt Gingrich was like as Speaker of the House.  In a nutshell, he was a
hothead.  He did not have charisma and he did not have a steady as you go
personality.  The House of Representatives when he was Speaker forced him
to resign.
This is how I believe God wanted me to get my message across to all of you.
On Sunday, January 15, 2012, the headlines in our paper were “Cruise turns
into night of chaos, terror, death”.  During the course of this past week we
have read and heard on the news, how Captain Francesco Schettino, captain
of Luxery Liner Costa Concordia ran aground off of the tiny Tuscan Island of
Giglio, Italy.  He is now being charged with manslaughter for the murder of
too many passengers who could not escape the ship.  It is my under-standing
that the captain risked the lives of all of the passengers because he wanted to
wave to a waiter on the island.  He disobeyed the rules of vessal safety, was
arrogant to think he would not have any accident, disobeyed the rules of  his
employer, Carnival Corp. and than when all of the chaos was going on sup-
posedly jumped ship with not a care for the passengers.  In future, after all
of the authorities are finished with their investigation, the truth will be told.
I do not believe the captain will have any chance of beating his recklessness.

I believe that Newt Gingrich is like that sea captain.  He will do whatever he
wants, play to the masses for their handwaving, lull the people into a false
sense of security, all the while that he seeks power.  If he cannot get along
with the House of Reps. who made him quit, how in the world will he be
able to get along with any of our Congressman and for that matter, any of
the World Leaders out their who will cross him.  He did many things as
Speaker that I did not like.  Too me he seems to be after unearned
accolades in his quest for power.  How will he react in a crisis?  Will he
leave America flying in the wind?  Right now, he is an excellent orator
but that is not enough for America.  He must stay the course and he
must have a steady hand when he is captain of AMERICA’S SHIP.

I hope you all understand what I am trying to say here.   Please do
some research on Newt Gingrich and find out what kind of politica
personality he has.  Even if he gets the nomination he will not win
the election.

May God Bless You All in your quest for the truth!

Ummmmmm……… He has said who he supports. Rick Santorum.

He isn’t going to campaign for anyone. But that’s not the same as supporting someone.

Now, there are some on here who believe that Glenn is supporting Santorum because he knows Santorum won’t win, and he actually wants fellow Mormon Romney to win.

That’s an interesting theory, and certainly possible if Glenn still has streaks of dishonesty inside himself. I would hope it’s not true, but his rabid, foaming at the mouth and totally unfair and unbalanced lambasting of Gingrich as being no different than Obama has seriously damaged my trust of Beck’s judgement and agenda.

Disagreeing and confronting isn’t condemning. It’s called “real” free speech. Perhaps blogs are a little too harsh for your sensibilities?

Some here would love nothing more than to demonize Glenn and steer his supporters away.   I for one embrace opposing views made honestly as oppossed to those made by paid liberals and I suspect there are many here with that agenda.   I have learned to tell the difference and certain so have others.   The right is not as naive as the LSM would like.

Your point is well taken, that counting the money from the “so called” Social Security trust fund and Medicare as inflows, measured against outflows, is fundamentally flawed, since it is not supposed to be general revenue, but it has been used that way.

I know Gingrich understands this. But he is using the measure that, unfortunately, has been the standard for over 60 years. The fact that our lazy and corrupt News Media won’t point this out is a big part of the problem.

Mr. Beck given time schedule it may not be possible but why not have yourself, David Barton and Mr. Gingrich have a sitdown and discuss history, Truth and as it relates to Progressivism and Socialism. Show it live, freely, to all who would watch.

I respect your opinion, and appreciate you putting the safety of the country ahead of rigid ideology.

I would like to point out, though, that Newt is 15 years wiser, and hopefully 15 years more mature. I would also like to point out that the “herding cats” job that the Speaker must perform, is a much different job than the Presidency. Newt’s personality might be much better suited to being President, than being Speaker.

Just “food for thought”.

Paul can only get 10-15% in Republican Primaries. That doesn’t translate to 10-15% support in a general election.

Just a little “reality” interruption for you.

Sounds reasonable. But I wonder if Beck’s pride would allow it. It would be big of him if he would. He would earn back the respect of many he has carelessly pissed on, recently.

I would hope that Pride plays no part in any of this. If the theoretical discussion is framed as a “hit piece” then there is an agenda. Certainly one’s past is the part of who anyone is but the past has to include *all of it* including his conversion to Catholicism.

I understand what Mr. Beck said, but the only Conservative running is Santorum and he has much fire in his belly as Lake Huron.  If Paul was running as a Libertarian he might, emphasize MIGHT, be a viable candidate.

Dr. Paul is getting his message out because he is running as a Republican and can participate in the Republican debates. I don’t see the news channels clamoring for a Libertarian debate.

I have read some really nasty posts it would seem by nasty people who take exception with Glenn’s oppossing views.   They attack him personally, which makes me crazy.  Hate the sin, not the sinner.   Forgiveness is an attribute worth pursuing and that’s where Glenn may fall short. 
Honest thoughts and opionions, not personal attacks when someone disagrees when one opines.

Lots of personal attacks on here.

Despite Below Freezing Temps, Thousands Rally for Scott Walker
http://biggovernment.com/bhealy/2012/01/22/despite-below-freezing-temps-thousands-rally-for-scott-walker/

Ok..so what DO we do? Michelle Bachman is out. Rick Santorum is still hanging on but by a thread. Do you think that Romney is better? I don’t trust Newt of Romney!!!

Ron Paul would be fine economically but you cannot have the isolationist theory any more! When the second President Bush was elected he too was an isolationist, then they hit the twin towers.  Any President MUST realize this is not about getting out of these people’s countries and they will leave us alone.  According to Sharia, according to the Koran they CANNOT leave us alone.  We are the infidels that must ne destroyed..all Chrsitians ..all Jews…anyone who will NOT become a Muslim.  If you don’t believe it go into ANY mosque in the US and just listen to what is being said…then come back and say you can live with Ron Pauls international policies..aside from the fact that his writings show he is a racist and anit-semite.  That’s what this country needs now.

ARE YOU KIDDING???? You don’t think they tried to win the war in Iraq and Afganistan in less time???? You clearly know nothing about the Arabs fight wars…and it has taken the US a long time to understand it and we are STILL to humanitarian to fight them the way they fight us and THAT”S why we take 10 years to do what we could have in 1 if we lowered ourselves to be the animals these people are.

Vote 3rd party and pray to God that one of these guys is not the same old BS.

Ok then, Glenn, that leaves Santorum and Paul. Now, where is the study on those two?

indeed but some of the things he did say scare me not as bad as Mitt but like so many people keep telling me i should do more digging on him.

If congress is going to be irresponsible with his constituents tax dollars, Ron Paul has a responsibility to get his constituents money back before the president spends it on cash for clunkers, welfare checks, obama care or medicare part D or any of the other BS. I will give you a break, since I sww your compass is off right now.

Vote 3rd Party and get Ogabe re-elected?

Are you hoping for a SHTF/WROL?

I’m not, but I’m preparing in case.

Nice rationalization.

But the fact is, “Pork” has nothing to do with Cash for Clunkers or any of the other boneheaded programs the government spends money on. The added pork, is just more money that has to be borrowed.

That’s a fact, and that’s why Paul is a hypocrite playing the game politicians play. If the Paulbots would just look at the facts critically, they would see that the emperor has no clothes.

nobody’s hitting the “panic button”  Newt is the only one of the candidates left with the passion to successfully lead our country-the rest are like dry toast.

I’m sure if Glenn looked, he could find evidence that Walker is a Progressive.

Which is why Beck is being either dishonest, or a fool.

It is called being principled. Newt has zero principles. He panders for a vote. It is that simple. He is a do as I say not as I do. That is not the leadership I can support. He has not had the same message for 20 years. He has been a global warming proponent and opponent in almost the same breath. He has been an adulterer while skewering the president for being an adulterer, he has been for the health insurance mandate before this president put it into motion, now he is against it. He was for federal funding of abortion, but now he is against it. If you cannot see the contridictions and the hypocrisy I have to question your drug abstinence claim. Rigid ideology to principles is called being principled. If your principle is just to defeat BO that is fine, you can be lackadaisical on all the other issues and it is of no consequence to you. However if you want a principled leader that is going to take a stand on an issue and guarantee the right vote, or veto on the issues of personal liberties, sound money, and constitutional principles your only choice is Ron Paul. Like I said it is your vote and you can do with it what you wish. I personally believe we are in the shape we are in because of pandering and compromise from our leaders, and I am a bit tired of voting for the status quo. None of our presidents veto anything that really matters to us anymore, they just sign the bill with a signing statement. I want a man that has balls when it comes to NDAA, Patriot act, mandated government health care, SOPA, and the list goes on. Newt may say he is against those specific bills, but I bet he has his own Ideas on how to rape the citizenry of liberties and dollars. 

I am not hoping for it but i am preparing for it.  Do you really think any of these guys are looking out for our best interest?  Not one bit!  The next one will be as crooked as the last two.

It`s been my experience that if I`m going to make any decision about a situation that confuses me, my first order of business is to some how become open minded! In this instance i took a step back to get a better pannarammic look at this election!  And try too figure out first which one of these people are going to make my families life and future better? I`m a small business Ownner and like most, Obamama is no where in the picture!!! I`m a Proud Patriot willing too do whatever is nessessarry to defend the Constitution and it`s core tennants, My Family and there future, safety and security! All of which are in eminnate danger! That`s why I believe this election is the most important election of my life! The reason I don`t trust Romney is simple! the only way too tell them apart is their skin color! their both Liberal Elites that have paralel policies that are constantly chipping away at Our Constitution. Santorum claims to be a ” Conservative” but seems to get elected in areas with 80% Democrat Majorities. Has takin more ear marks than anyone in Congress during his stretch in office! ( everybody knows are really Pro-Quo bribes) just like Obamas` ( Solyndra) then there`s Ron Paul. He has never had one bill passed in 32 yr.s in Government! So what did he do? There`s no doubt he is a smart guy, but seems too see the world through a soda straw. Imagine if all police officers stay inside the station and refused to come out unless the crooks came too them! There would be Kaos in the streets! the point i`m trying to make is, None of them are who they appear too be! Except Newt Gingrich ! In the History of the United States when has the Republican Party VOTED A PROGRESSIVE LIBERAL TO BE RONALD REGANS REPUBLICAN SPEAKER OF THE HOUSE?????   I REST MY CASE GLENN BECK!!!!!!

You are using a simple generalization which doesn’t require a lot of intellectual effort. Life is a lot more complicated than that.

But in answer to your question, it is certainly possible that 1 or more of them have good intentions. The key, is for the citizens to hold them accountable once they are elected. That has been the failing. And that is why Obama has got to go, even if the replacement has flaws.

He votes against the bills time and time again. Do you not realize this? He has already been on record time and time again that he does not believe in the income tax system. He doesn’t think people should be paying income tax, so why wouldn’t he try to get his peoples money back. He doesn’t vote on budgets that are not balanced. It is pure logic. I don’t believe in income tax, so I will try to get my constituents money back, and I don’t believe in budgets that are not balanced so I will vote against an un balanced budget. The only reason we are borrowing money is our cradle to the grave entitlements, Bloated federal regulation of anything and everthing that is clearly not their business as outlayed in article 1 section 8 yet is given to the people or the states. That is why our budget is screwed every year. Congress has the power to borrow so they just figure they will borrow to pay for the ignorance. If it was left to the states, the states that are welfare oriented would go belly up, and the conservative states would prosper. Newt is federalist. I am looking for an anti-federalist.

Let me just address your first two points, which are fundamentally flawed in their assumptions.

As for Global Warming, lots of people have been fooled. I mean, we were led to believe that the entire scientific community was in agreement. I myself believed it for a while. Does that mean I am a hypocrite? No. I remained open to the developments that occurred and it became obvious that Global Warming was based on flawed science and left wing politics. The same thing happened with Gingrich. So this example is quite weak.

Your second example is based on a flawed premise and incorrect facts. Gingrich never lambasted Clinton about cheating on his wife. Never, ever. He lambasted him for going into a deposition, being sworn under oath, and then lying. That’s what the impeachment was all about, not the affair. That is a plain and simple fact, my friend. Now Clinton was also rightfully lambasted for standing up in front of the American people and denying outright the affair, which was a lie. But that’s not what he was impeached for.

Seriously. You are operating under faulty assumptions, incorrect facts, and faulty logic. It happens to people. But that’s how people get duped.

It has already been shown, very clearly, that Glenn Beck has been lying too his veiwers about who he is for in this election! the last 3 days the majority of the bloggers on this site have been very angry with GB about his secret support for his: FELLOW MORMON BUDDY” Mitt Romney! Explains his Crusade to Discredit Newt Gingrich with Religous furver, does`nt it?

You are generalizing too.  So how do we hold them accountable?

 Are you even a voter? you sound like my angry brother that`s never voted in his life!

I have always been an unaffiliated voter and yes I vote.  I don’t consider myself Republican or Democrat.  Please don’t assume things about me.

We hold them accountable by voting them out just like we will do with Obama.   Everyone is entitled to one mistake in politics before they are voted out;  if we don’t change our positions, we can’t expect a different outcome.

Glenn Beck is playing a shell game with you! The pea is not under any of the shells rodney, check his pockets !! Glenn Beck is secretly supporting Mitt Romney a” FELLOW MORMON” His fans have been pissed at him (GB) for the last 3 days! Where you been?

I am Tea Party!!!

I wept today not because Rick Santorum lost the S.C. election but for our nation. As I listened to his speech last night, I felt an overwhelming feeling of sadness for our people. I thought how sad our people who call themselves Christians could vote not so much for Newt Gingrich, but against the media and for class warfare. After two debates of Gingrich doing verbal media whipping (Juan Williams and John King) and his implications Romney was the 1%, the people said, “Yes this is what we want”, and gave Newt the victory.

I know all the arguments and rationale for why some have supported Newt yesterday. I believe if Santorum could not win last night and Romney did, the process most likely would have ended last night in S.C. Santorum now has another chance to speak and for this I praise God. 

My biggest concern is for a vast amount of Americans who do not seek the truth but are so desperate for a liberator to come and save them from the wicked left Socialists and liberal media. In their desperation, they sell out to human logic and do not seek God and His wisdom. They don’t put faith in God. I was reminded today of 1 Samuel 8: 1-22. No other words could possibly explain better why I weep for our people and for our nation.

Please listen to Rick Santorum’s speech if not for the first time but again to truly hear his words.

Can we keep affording to allow politicians to make critical mistakes?  It’s our live at stake.

Why so your boy Obama can get 4 more yr.s to finish us all off?

I agree with you ElPzee.  Glenn Beck’s attitude of absolutes is quite disturbing.  Also there is one major thing that he blantantly overlooks about Newt Gingrich.  That is the FACT that when Newt Gingrich was Speaker the Federal Government shrank, budgets were balances, taxes wer lowered, progressives where put in a corner, regulations were less on small business in the marketplace,  the govenrment actually paid down on the Federal debt, and under Speaker Gingrich, the economy expanded and there was 4% unemployment.  How Glenn Beck sees what he sees that is just the opposite of what Newt ACTUALLY DID does not add up.   It seems to me that Glenn is a Romney plant and really wants RINO Romney in as the GOP nominee over a Conservative that Santorum says is his mentor and where Santorum learned how to be a Conservative.  So, since Santorum praises Newt and says he is the man where he got his Conservatism does that make Rick Santorum a progressive as well.Come on Beck!  YOU have lost it.  But I guess you would not understand that because you are not a Conservative but a radical libertarian.

Your assuming I support Obama, which make you a liar.

You obviously haven’t read what I have posted.  I am having trouble trusting any of them.

SO newt is easily fooled. I am an alternative energy student, and I haven’t made up my mind yet on the cause of global warming, yet I am not on the tv agreeing with it or disagreeing with it. The underlying principle was the act of the affair. Without the affair you don’t have the perjury. Newt has been blinded by his “passion for his country” many times. His “passion” causes him to do unethical and foolish things. That is his and your arguement. Wow. Just wow. Too bad that isn’t how it worked when I was a soldier. I could have robbed banks and had 100 wives, because it was obvious I was passionate enough about my country to fight for it. What logic. Newt has no moral compass, and no principle compass. He is a federalist. He is unethical, he is a flip flopper, and he is hypocritical.

The 100 million barrels of oil the world burns everyday does have a negative affect.  Why do you think cities have smog/pollution.  Because of unburned hydrocarbons, especially when you first start your car and the catalytic converter is not warmed up.

Because Glenn Beck is a Coward! and a jack ass! Did you see how he treated that fan on the phone 4 days ago? Wake up dude! Glenn Beck wants Santorum and Paul to stay in so they suck votes away from Newt Gingrich! GB has been playing His Fans like a sucker this whole time!! GB s in the tank with his “FELLOW MORMON” buddy Romney ! This has been talked about for days!! where you been? ps. GB can`t hang up on you or gangster the conversation in a face to face debate!! GB acts JUST LIKE THOSE LIBERAL PROGRESSIVES ON MSNBC !!

Is there a point to your post on the horizon?

There is ia principle called ,occums razor: once you have exaulsted all other posibilities the obvious is probably true! OBVIOUSLY YOUR AN IDIOT !!!

Name calling makes your argument look weak and flawed.

just an observation.

just an observation.

you think calling someone a liar is a compliment? you post ike a liberal.

You said I support Obama, which makes you a liar.

claiming to be ” democrat and republican” is the same as being here and over there at the same exact time! unless of course you have a split personality? in that case, tell the other guy whose not the jackass too come get his other self to chill out .

Passion comes from deep down inside of a person that 100% believes what they are saying is true!  They reason you don`t see it in Santorum – well, I`ll leave the answer too that up to you !  But Newt Gingrich has tremendace passion and that is undiniable!!

name calling makes your argument look weak and flawed.

Refining yourself to a small political box limits ones self.

Having no facts to support your arguments means your arguments are weak and flawed, as well as ineffective.

The catalytic converter does not burn hydrocarbons. It is a chamber to convert toxins in the exhaust into non-toxic emissions.

Some people never see the facts because they have the blinders on.

And it is not 100% effective.

Never tried to claim it was. So stay stupid.

People cannot see your facts because you fail to provide them.

Most educated people call them Moderates.

If you want to limit yourself.

Go away Satan, you’re stupider than dirt.

A third party vote is a vote for Obama which is really what you’re all about with you nonsense.

Go away Satan, you’re stupider than dirt.

He’s not very educated. He’s stupider than dirt.

yah no wonder he wants a thied party vote so we can get his commie buddy back in.

I know he’s a Progressive, but he knows how to say all the right things at the right time.  Not everyone out there understands that he is a Progessive, or even what a Progressive is.  Newt has a silver tongue and because of it I could see him making it as the nominee.

He also fails to provide references for any of his declarations.

Does he really stand on principle??  I’m not so sure.  Can you explain to me how he is sooo against “pork” and votes against it, yet his district recieves the highest amount in the whole nation???  This is something that warrants further investigation.

TO SHORTCUTTT

Yes, do some research before you vote.

I notice you had no retort for my points.

Perhaps you haven’t thought about things as much as you think.

I DON`T NEED ANY ONE TO EXPLAIN TOO ME WHAT THE STAKES ARE IN THIS ELECTION!!   MY VISION IS JUST FINE!!  POLITICS IS A GOOD WAY TO STROKE YOUR DEFLATED EGO UP! HEY DON`T BE TOO HARD ON YOURSELF, WE NEED SOMETHIN TO TALK ABOUT WHILE WE`RE STANDING IN THE FREE STORE LINE WAITIN FOR OUR HANDOUT!!……..FEEL FREE TO DO YOUR OUN RESEARCH.

We’re not voting for a Pope. We’re voting for a President.

No one denies that air pollution can be a problem if not managed properly. But the rules we have in this country have done a pretty good job. We don’t need new rules to fix a non-existent problem.

Vote them out.

“Obama! You’re fired!”

See how that works?

I don’t think it’s been shown clearly. He could just not like Newt for whatever reason and it’s clouding his judgement.

Whatever the reason, it’s very disappointing.

TO SHORTCUTTT

I have done a lot of research!  Why do you think I wrote what I did?
I read what everyone who wants to vote for Newt says in this
commentary.  Their comments are what scares the hell out of me.
Most of what is written, except for a few is all along the lines of what
the media is feeding the people.   Because, people do not take the
time to check out Newt’s previous baggage they will be making a big
mistake.  I do not care if anyone gets mad at me because I have done
my research.  Better to try to help your country than to sit and cry be-
cause you have done nothing except follow the media’s agenda.
Don’t you know, you have been had.

God Bless All

the audio is pretty soft/low, even if I turn up my PC’s volume to maximum. Can you please increase the audio? Thanks!

It’s clear you’re very bitter at Newt and can’t handle the fact you can’t control people that believe in the same kind of forgiveness that God gave you once upon a time. Both you and Newt have grown and learned more and better ideas, and there is no reason to think that you or he will stop just as we all should keep on learning from the past. You maybe should check Mitts.past views on many issues to prove my point ! When Newt speaks we just want to hear more, quite unlike the others who can’t seem to get to a point or make one most of the time. We gotten enough of that from those in the other party for 3-years and more !  Money & dishonesty doesn’t trump facts and strait talk just ask people in SC.

I haven’t cherry picked anything from newt or pulled him out of context. Newt is in support of TARP, Paul voted against it. Newt supports an individual mandate, no matter how he craftly words it, paul is against it. Paul voted for for no new debt ceiling increases. Newt was in support of the mexican bailout of 1995. Do you understand now? He is not a conservative. There is nothing conservative about any of those measures. The balanced budget of the 90′s relied on unpresedented growth and some of the problems we are facing today, like freddie mac that gingrich is in bed with

Predictions on a few things in 2002

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DoLML6OoUtg

Now we can debate debate that the constitution is an outdated piece of paper, and socialist government companies are a good thing, but that isn’t the case. The case is that if you don’t oppose something or you work to make money from things you do not agree with is just flip flopping, and pandering. Does newt flip flop-YES. Is he a hypocrite-YES. Is he an adulterer-YES. Is he a LIAR-YES. Is he a panderer-YES

In essence Paul understands the economic cycle better than anyone, (housing bubble predicted in 2001) while newt was actively working to make sure the housing bubble happened(strategist for GSE freddie/fannie) It goes back to principle. Newt is no conservative.

Jeremy. A lot of people were for TARP at the time because we were told the economy could completely collapse in a matter of days.. Glenn Beck was for TARP at first, then changed his mind. Being for TARP at the time, is hardly a litmus test of whether you are a conservative.

Newt clearly stated that he now believes the Individual Mandate was a mistake, and regrets supporting it. Whatever the reason he changed his mind, I see little reason to fear he would not do everything to kill ObamaCare and not support Individual Mandates in the future.

As far as Fannie and Freddie, it has been a Conservative Mantra for many years to encourage Home Ownership to create an ownership society. Newt was no different than a lot of Conservatives. In retrospect, it’s now obvious that it is wrong-headed to encourage home ownership for everyone. Many people are better off renting so they can be mobile and move to where the jobs are.

We have the same issue with encouraging college for all, which I hope more and more people are starting to realize is wrong headed and wasteful and simply finances the leftist intelligentsia at the Universities.

Has Paul always been against this stuff? Yes. I previously credited Paul with having the correct long-term thinking on these issues and I believe he has had a positive influence in convincing other politicians, including Newt, that he was right. People are coming around. There is no denying it. If average people can be convinced, why can’t some politicians as well?

Of course, being right on some things, doesn’t make you right on everything. Paul’s foreign policy beliefs are beyond naive and very dangerous. His constant associations with conspiracy kooks and sympathy with 911 Truthers (I’ve seen it on video – don’t deny it)is a disturbing trend in his personality.

I really don’t want someone that paranoid and ideologically inflexible to be sitting in the White House. But hey, I would even vote for him, over Obama. But he has no chance. That’s the reality. And I deal with reality.

Meet me at the top and we will continue this debate.

OH GEE, THANK YOU FOR YOUR HEART FELT CONCERN!!  BUT IF IT`S ALL THE SAME TOO YOU, I`LL PASS ON THE KOOL-AID. BUT HEY, FEEL FREE TO DRINK THE ONE YOU OFFERED ME! TIMES ARE WAY TOO HARD TO LET IT GO TOO WASTE.

TO LEMMINGS

While we are on the foreign policy debate, have a look at his repeated warnings many years before the big one.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vpdf_UtvSpE

This one is on many subjects foreign entanglements, health care fiat money, and showing how occupying land will inflame radicals that act outside of their governments wishes.

You like ron paul except on foreign policy

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B4a__tcfFug

I am a prior service infantryman and I guarantee if someone was camped on my country, with or without the help of my government I would be a brutal unmerciful fighter against the foreign occupiers. If the occupying country did not consider me a terrorist I would feel like I did not do my job. I am by no means defending the radical muslims, as I really don’t care much for them myself, after all I signed on the dotted line, and took the oath after september 11th, served my tours, and had no problem doing so. However we need to think about the things we are involving ourselves in and exposing ourselves to.

He is on house foreign and domestic committees

United States House Financial Services Subcommittee on Domestic Monetary Policy and Technology

United States House Financial Services Subcommittee on International Monetary Policy and Trade

United States House Foreign Affairs Subcommittee on Oversight and Investigations.

Now Paul was a service member as well, and I would trust a fellow service members policies on war before I would trust someone that did not serve. People that have seen the damage EFP’s, IED’s and weapons in general can do generally don’t know squat about foreign wars, or the heart of a warrior or the effects of occupation. I fought OIF, and I personally would be a terrorist if someone was here. I would not let up, I would make sure they lost legs, arms, faces, had extensive burns, etc. If anyone occupied my country, I would make sure I tried at any cost to inflict damage on their homeland, hopefully scoring victories on high level officers families. That is who I would be if some foreign entities military was on my countries soil. But that is probably where we differ on foreign policy.

From Full Metal Jacket (1987):

Private Pyle has dishonored himself and dishonored the platoon. I have tried to help him. But I have failed. I have failed because YOU have not helped me. YOU people, have not given Private Pyle the proper motivation! So, from now on, whenever Private Pyle f **** up, I will not punish him! I will punish all of YOU! And the way I see it ladies, you owe me for ONE JELLY DOUGHNUT! NOW, GET DOWN ON YOUR FACES!

Me like commies.

Depends on who the nominee is.

Name one third party nominee that was ever elected as President from that third party.

We know, they are your friends.

Atlas Shrugged

yes yousa do liky commies.

McCain was to nice, he lost. Romney is to nice also. Newt isn’t nice, but the only plunger that can expel the poop in Washington.

Go away Satan.

Nice post!

When it comes to foreign policy, including the specific points you’ve made – Paul didn’t predict the future. Paul repeats the same isolationist dialogue that has been promoted by isolationists in this country since the turn of the 19th century. Look at newspaper articles from the early 1900s. Paul says many of the same things isolationists said back then. It’s not different.

Understand – I’m not anti-isolationist. I don’t agree with isolationism to the extreme that Paul does, but I do lean toward keeping our forces to home, not engaging in every little conflict that comes along, and I’m most definitely against nation building. However, Paul is flat wrong about Islam itself, and the motives behind militant Muslims. THAT is indisputable. He has, on numerous occasions, made statements regarding anti-American Islamic groups that were flat out falsehoods. On top of that, he seems to have no knowledge at all of the history of Islam or even the history of the United Stated dealing with Muslim nations.

There is no candidate that is more right-headed on domestic policy than Paul. I will vote for Paul if he is the candidate of choice vs. Obama. However, my willingness to vote for him, my respect for his integrity on domestic issues, and my appreciation for his understanding of economics do not cloud my ability to view him with scrutiny, as I do all candidates. And when I scrutinize his foreign policy he is found wanting – VERY MUCH.

Every candidate presents a basket of ideas – and in every candidates basket is a mix of valuables and crap. Paul has a lot of valuables in his basket. If you want to sell Paul, sell Paul on those things. However, don’t try to sell Paul’s crap as if it was pearls.

Me likey Socialists too.

Of course you do Satan.

On other big news today, the EU oil embargo against Iran will create a global energy crisis.  Our lives will change dramatically because of a spike in oil prices.

Marky likey radical Islamists too

How is that settling for the lesser of the two evils working out for you?

who would i know i don’t know a Marky?

go right ahead and nock yourself out. please nock yourself out.

Still waiting for you to name a person that ran in a third party that actually won a Presidential election while running for a third party.

FYI: You cannot do it, Teddy Roosevelt did the best when he ran in the Bull Moose Party, getting 27.4% of the popular vote and 88 electoral votes. That is the best third party performance.

Since it allowed for the Election of Obama, not really well until November.

I’m on to the next Newt thread. Old threads don’t interest me because few read them.

PLEASE do the research on Ron Paul. I was a Tea Partier and a Bill
O’Reilly and Glenn Beck fan before noticing Ron Paul. He is exactly what
the Tea Party movement is all about. No other candidate is for smaller
government, no other candidate stands by the Constitution the way he
does. I am a fiscal and social conservative however I feel that our
nation’s debt and economic crisis must be met before anything else. Ron
Paul is the one to do this. His foreign policy may fear some people and
it should evoke such a reaction when there is so much hate and violence
in the world, but we are going broke and we do not have the resources to
police the world anymore. We need to defend our nation first and
foremost. If you want another Obama, vote for Romney vote for Newt and
even Santorum, the social conservative all for BIG government. Ron Paul
is the true conservative and true Republican. Just take a half an hour
of your time and look up Ron Paul on Youtube to get some interviews of
his and make sure you know the truth and him. He is about freedom and
liberty.

So the reason Ron Paul’s clothes don’t fit is because it’s not in the Constitution?

Newt and Santorum failed to get on the ballot in severl states,  losing 550 delegates, they have 0 chance of getting the 1154 required, Ron Paul has been doing good with delegates, see you at the convention in August

I’ve loved you Glenn since I first day I discovered you on CNN but I’ve been a Newt fan since he was our awesome Speaker and accomplished what most said was impossible. Your vetting argument would be stronger against Newt if you could attack Newt’s Signature legislation, policy or procedures. I’m not talking about the go along to get along got-ya moments all effective politicians have on their resume. I’m talking about the Newt Gingrich SIGNATURE issues that he pushed and passed. In my opinion, what a man does far out weighs what a man says, that’s why you Glenn have been forgiven for some of the thing that have come out of your mouth over the years.   

SandyLester; so you are implying that the President does not need Congressional approval to declare war legally? How so?

Hey, you ignorant jackass, i have fought in war before, how about you?  You are as pathetic as your stupid screen name.. an immature, know-it-all brainwashed paulbot.  you are a punk and coward.  What are you going to do about it?? 

Waste your vote then.  You Paulbots just don’t get it and everyone of you have the same scripted statements as if ya’ll are all on some spell.  If i disagree with you, then I”m in with Chris Mathews?  Come one, can you come with something better than that stupid statement??   

Heard of the War Powers Act?  It’s legal

Exactly, and what did Eisenhower do – let the Russians take Berlin, just at master Paulbot is letting Iran have the nuke

You said you are in the military?  Why did you join if you support R Paul and agree with his policies?  For the money?  What would you do if you were sent into Iran to destroy the Nuke facility – disobey orders?  Are you not a conscientious objector in disguise?  or do you speak out of both sides of your mouth, doing one thing but saying another?  i am all for the military and the troops as i was one once, but if you are not in for the right reason, believing you are furthering america’s best interest, aren’t you putting fellow servicemen at risk?  would you obey orders if asked to defend S Korea, isreal, england, etc?  If you would, wouldn’t that conflict with your beliefs toward r paul? 

What makes no sense are “Conscientious Objectors” as yourself…You are in the military but believe in R Paul’s policies?  You are a detrement and dangerous to others in uniform.  Knowing you could or would be sent into a war zone (one which you disagree with), why did you join?  Doesn’t all R Paul supporters disagree with our involvement in any war outside american borders?  What would you do if you were asked to fight in S Korea, europe, elsewhere in the middle east?  you also speak as if you have access to CIA classified documents that explain the thoughts of people of the entire country of Pakistan.  Or, have you polled everyone there.  You claim to be so informed, have you dismissed the possibility of an iranian nuke being smuggled into america, or do you have info that that is an impossibility…I support our military as i was a war veteran but you seem to be in conflict with your own ideology as to be a serviceman and R Paul supporter.  i would not feel comfortable sharing the same foxhole with someone who didn’t feel he was right being there in the first place.  aren’t all R Paul supports in the military basically conscientious objectors in uniform??????
