What is the real enemy conservatives need to fight against in the next election?

With Newt performing so well in the debates, which has translated into a primary victory in South Carolina, many of Glenn’s casual fans have wondered why he has been so thorough in his criticism of the former Speaker of the House. After all, if he can win debates in the primary then surely he can beat Obama in debates in the general election. After that, it’s smooth sailing to the White House, right? Wrong. Glenn isn’t looking for a progressive that will only be Obama-lite, he’s looking for a true conservative to actually save the country.

Early in the show, a fan who claimed to have been a long time listener wondered, “Why are your attacks on (Gingrich) so vicious and personal?” – but were they?

“Have you heard my attacks on Barack Obama and Woodrow Wilson? My attacks on Newt Gingrich are light compared to that. He’s a progressive,” Glenn said.

“My problem with Newt Gingrich is he is a progressive, and I will say exactly the same thing that I say about Barack Obama. Barack Obama is a liar. And I believe Newt Gingrich is a liar,” Glenn said.

Glenn brought up Newt’s love for FDR, which is on the record, and how Gingrich has been quick to downplay that affection for progressivism in order to appeal to the conservative audience.

“We have 90 seconds of very short five second clips of him for two decades extolling FDR and the New Deal. And how it fundamentally changed America for the better,” Glenn explained.

Later in the show, Glenn went on to further explain his differences with Newt Gingrich.

“I don’t have a personal vendetta against Newt Gingrich. I’ve never had a problem with Newt Gingrich. I’ve had dinner with Newt Gingrich I think a couple of times, you know, at a big, you know, reception kind of thing. I think we’ve had him on the show a couple of times. I’ve read his books. I have some of his autographed books.”

However, Glenn said he did not want to downplay his comments earlier when he said that Gingrich was a liar on his admiration for progressivism.

“I invited him on the show to show me where we went wrong. I’ll give him a half hour,” Glenn said.

Stu did counter that during their interview with Newt Gingrich that the former Speaker was very clear in his belief and support of progressivism and big government.

“He told the truth about his beliefs on how to run government,” Stu said. “A bigger role than I think, that I believe in, that you believe in, that many Tea Party people believe in.”

“Why do people who are members of the Tea Party all unite and say John McCain is a nightmare? John McCain is no bigger of a progressive than Newt Gingrich is,” Glenn said.

“You can’t listen to a good speech or a guy who is really, really slick at saying things,” Glenn said.

“Did we not learn from Barack Obama?”

“You’ve got Fannie and Freddie, you have, ‘I like Andrew Jackson, Theodore Roosevelt, Woodrow Wilson, and FDR,’ all of them on tape for 20 years, you have healthcare, mandated healthcare for 20 years on record,” Glenn said.

“I don’t have to go to his personal life. Why would I go to his personal life?” Glenn added.

Stu and Glenn both said the reason they go after Newt more than Mitt Romney is that the Glenn Beck audience understands that Romney is a big government guy, but doesn’t seem to get that with Gingrich.

“You are right on Mitt Romney. You’re right. He has big government tendencies. You seem to understand that with him. Why don’t you understand it with Newt Gingrich who supports many of the same policies,” Stu said.

“Mitt Romney hasn’t gained any ground in four years. You would think that Mitt Romney might have some self reflection and say, why haven’t I gained ground? Because the American people get it. They get it,” Glenn said.

“So there’s a possibility that you were just against Barack Obama because it’s their guy that is establishing the power and you don’t want their guy to have that kind of power,” Glenn said.

“And it’s a fine position. It’s just not my position. I don’t want any of them. It’s not our founders’ positions,” he said.

Glenn said one of the reasons the media hasn’t been talking about Newt’s progressive policies is that they can’t wait to unleash those attacks in the general election.

“You’ve seen it from Romney, you’ve seen it from Rick Santorum, you’ve seen it from Michele Bachmann, you’ve seen it from Ron Paul. They all say it, but the media hasn’t. Why? Because they can’t wait. It hasn’t gained any traction yet.”

“Do you need to see the Republicans, the conservatives and the arguments against him when he left in shame on ethics charges? You think that’s going to go over well? If you want to go in the personal life, don’t even go to the personal life. Go to what was happening in the public life while he was doing it.”

“I’ve told you, I will go to the day I die as standing against progressivism wherever I find it. If I find it in the Republican Party, I will expose it. If you don’t like that, that’s fine. If you want me to excuse it from somebody, I won’t do that.”

“I believe the enemy is not the Democratic Party, not the Republican Party. But progressivism. And it’s not personal when I do it to Barack Obama. It’s not personal when I did it to Van Jones, it’s not personal when I say it about George Soros.”

“ It’s not personal when I said it about John McCain or Mitt Romney or Lindsey Graham.”

“It’s just the truth.”

    The war on Progressivism is now in the final end game; this year it will be win or lose for the nation to either win free and restore the power to the people, or we slide into communism or facism. It is that simple.

    In the case of Gingrich calling Glenn a liar, Glenn has played Newts own words, unaltered and clear for all to hear in which Newt condemns himself and is caught in a clear set of lies and self spoken contradictions.

    Look to the articles here at the sight from yesterday; hear Newts own words and then you make up your own mind. Let the truth stand on its own.

    So Glenn, you don’t attack Romney because we all know he is a big govt. guy.  But when he was leading in  the polls I guess you were O.K. if he gets the nomination but not Newt?  Strange. Of course you’re not going to defend Romney and 2 minutes later you start making excuses for him.  How obviously one sided. Newt or Mitt equals me voting 3rd party.

    I have long feared what could finally take down Glenn Beck would not be the liberals or progressives,but it would be the conservatives. This whole debate over Gingrich, Romney and who is conservative has exposed this. Not because what Glenn is saying is untrue but it is because we as conservatives are all for telling the truth and all for exposing corruption when it is the opposition but when we find the corruption in our own house we refuse to expose our own progressives. If the truth truly has no agenda regardless of opinion what happens conservatives when our guy gets in( whether it is Gingrich, Romney,or Santorum) and Glenn starts to expose the  progressive corruption or mistakes of our candidate will we say he is a sell out?, a closet Liberal?, a traitor?, Is that really the case or are we just hypocrites seeking to cast the beam out of our brothers eye without removing the mote in our own? Here is the cold hard truth- If we as conservatives TRULY believe in the constitution and the framework our founders instituted and we reject totally over reaching nanny state big government, progressive ism,Socialism, and Marxism in all its forms then one CANNOT in honesty condemn one person for implementing those Ideals while supporting a candidate whose actions and record support the same position. This is why (While we have a choice) Gingrich, Romney, and Paul are all progressives. Their records show one big government, progressive underlying tone in much of their decisions. For example
    Conservative position- A health care law mandate on citizens is unconstitutional and the federal government has no right to implement or force any such action.
    Newt Gingrich- Supported and has never renounced his support for a Health care mandate. Did oppose Obama and Hillary care but not the mandate of it as recently as 2008.(Mitt Romney state plan served as model for Obama care)
    Mitt Romney- Implemented State health care. Although constitutionally legal at the state level a true conservative would never implement such a intrusive governmental authority into peoples lives ( Newt is the same on the Dept of education-a decision that should belong to the states).
    Rick Santorum- Supported Arlen Specter and supported earmarks and pork. (Although his argument for doing such is truly constitutional and admits that the process has been sorely abused.)
    Ron Paul copied Orin Hatch in voting and opposing earmarks and pork while loading bills chalk full of the stuff  while “Playing the Game”.  can you say Hypocrites.
    We as conservatives have to ask ourselves which is the better choice in this case but Glenn is correct to point out that these are not true constitutional conservative actions or people (Especially when they espouse the role models and policies that have brought us to the brink of destruction). So Tea party, and conservatives are we truly for the constitution or are we nothing more than progressive lite hypocrites who decided to take the train to Hell rather than the Concord? The Founders would say turn the Hell around and head in the opposite direction. Just to let you all know why Glenn is right and that his pointing out of warning signs and condemnation of progressive-ism in whom ever it appears is correct. It is because I AM A PROGRESSIVE. Everything the left is corrupting and controlling in regards to politics, religion,  food, morality,marriage, all of it if you take an atheistic, evolutionary stance is Logically sound. I will expound upon this another time. Suffice it to say though why do I identify as a conservative because I First and foremost know that their is an eternal Judge and standard of right and Wrong (ie God) and that my rights come from such a source not MAN or governments. I also know the ultimate conclusion of the progressive path and the misery it will cause. Therefore I REJECT  PROGRESSIVISM’s Social tinkering. Best example is Whoopie Goldeberg. The average Leftist thinks much like her that The philosophy is good on paper but hasn’t worked because of the Human element But she still Hopes. What she is ignorant of and what the founders understood is not that her idea hasn’t been implement ed right or with the right person it is because the model she espouses is flawed and corrupted at the root and that NO ONE IS the right person. The founders understood that there is always someone willing to go further down the path to hell than you (Something Whoopi does not understand) and it is often paved with good intentions. The answer the founders discovered is the only way to avoid this is not to go down the road at all but pick a different road. Therefore I am conservative because you can’t build a just utopia on a foundation of lies and deceit. You can’t Champion human rights while trampling on others rights you oppose.You can’t give Godlike power and authority to a Man or government before it starts to act like one. You can’t have justice in a system where different rules and laws create different outcome. (Hence Justice is Blind). You can’t seek for riches while steeling them from others. Social Justice is another name for no Justice. So Conservatives does the truth have no agenda? You will have to decide.

    Yes, it is the truth. It is unelectabel, and i am going to show you how it really works. With my saying this, you can continue sailing smoothly. Earlier you wanted the attacks. Have you heard of any problems gaining momentum with that? You have 90 seconds to think it in order. Just use your brain. I do not have any personal watch, so i will do it over my lunch time too. And by the way, no personal carretta. Though it might be a fine position, i do not want to downplay your mental activity.  Believe me, there IS a reason. It is in there…and  i want you,guys, to have that kind of power. Why? Because we are AMERICAN PEOPLE! ….And it is not only my position or my progesteron de facto. It is very and weary personal. It is de jure. And this is how it really works.

    Snowleopard, they still let commies on this site?  ”The War on Progressivism is now in the final endgame”.  WHAT??  The WAR as you call it has been put on the American people since the Founders by “Progressives” that believe that free markets are evil, people are stupid, and that an elite few must control and regulate all the affairs of the people.

    EVERY nation in the history of the world that went the “progressive” way, progressed to death, destruction, massive poverty, and MILLIONS killed by their own government, and a complete collapse of the means of bounty, the productive capacity of the nation.

    Obama and the previous progressives in the White House, Congress, and the Senate have for the past fifty years been implementing a detailed plan devised by Alinsky.  Cloward and Pivens contributed to the progressive cause and not only outlined exactly what needed to be done to collapse America and turn it into a socialist nation, but then went and spent the rest of their lives working to make it happen.

    Skousen, in his 1958 book THE NAKED COMMUNIST outlined the communist plan which included 50 action items that must happen to make it all come to pass.  Right now, 47 of the 50 have been clearly attained, while the other three are well on the way.

    No, Snowleopard, the WAR has been on the Constitution, on FREEDOM, on Personal Responsibility, on Family, and on Christianity for at least fifty years.  Your war on Progressivism is a figment of your fevered imagination.  

    But thanks for checking in.

    Okay I’m a progressive myself and I disagree with practically everything Gingrich supports. This idea that Gingrich is a progressive is ridiculous. What’d he do that’s progressive? Sit on a couch with Pelosi? Romney was vocal about climate change too. Support a healthcare mandate? Romney instituted one. If Gingrich is a progressive then Romney has to be one too (I don’t remember Gingrich saying he’d be more liberal on gay rights than Ted Kennedy or trying to uphold Roe vs Wade).

    As a support of Glenn over the years, I now find that this is one issue where I disagree with his positon on Newt.  May I submit the following article by Dr. Thomas Sowell (from TownHall.com) which I think provides an alternate perspective and worth considering!  Please take the time to read; then you decide.”Just days before the South Carolina primary,
    polls showed Mitt Romney leading Newt Gingrich. Then came the debates and the
    question about Gingrich’s private life, which brought a devastating response
    from the former Speaker of the House — and a standing ovation from the
    audience.

    Apparently the television audience felt the same way,
    judging by the huge turnaround in the support for Gingrich. The stunning victory
    in South Carolina brought Newt’s candidacy back to life.
    But the message from South Carolina was about more than a
    reaction to how Gingrich dealt with a cheap shot question from the media. Nor
    was it simply the Republican voters’ response to Newt’s mastery as a
    debater.
    The more fundamental message is that the Republican primary
    voters do not want Mitt Romney, even if the Republican establishment does — and
    it is just a question of which particular conservative alternative the voters
    prefer.
    The successive boomlets for Michele Bachmann, Rick Perry and
    Herman Cain showed the Republican voter’s constant search for somebody —
    anybody — as an alternative to Romney. The splintering of the conservative vote
    among numerous conservative candidates allowed Romney to be the “front-runner,”
    but he never ran far enough in front to get a majority.
    Mitt Romney’s supposed “electability” — his acceptability
    to moderates and independents — has been his biggest selling point. Moreover,
    he is just the kind of candidate that the Republican establishment has preferred
    for years: a nice, bland, moderate who offends nobody.
    This is the kind of candidate that is supposed to be the key
    to victory, no matter how many such candidates have gone down to defeat. If the
    bland and inoffensive moderate was in fact the key to victory, Dewey would have
    won a landslide victory over Truman in 1948, and John McCain would have beaten
    Barack Obama in 2008.
    Whomever the Republicans choose as their candidate is going
    to have to run against both Barack Obama and the pro-Obama media. Newt Gingrich
    has shown that he can do that. Romney? Not so much. Mitt Romney’s fumbling when
    trying to answer the simple question of whether he would or would not release
    his income tax records is the kind of indecisiveness that is not going to cut it
    in a nationally televised debate with President Obama.
    Gingrich is not just a guy who is fast and feisty on his
    feet. He has a depth of understanding of what issues are crucial, experience in
    how to deal with them and — almost equally important — experience in how to
    shoot down the petty, irrelevant and “gotcha” distractions of the
    media.
    Does Gingrich have negative qualities? More than most. Wild
    statements, alienation of colleagues, reckless gambits. His use of the rhetoric
    of the left in attacking Bain Capital was a recent faux pas, though one that he
    quickly backed away from.
    But if we are serious — and there has seldom, if ever, been
    a time in the history of this nation when it was more necessary to be serious —
    then we cannot simply add up talking points for or against a candidate. What
    matters is how that candidate stands on issues that can make or break the future
    of this country.
    Polls show the public as a whole with more negative
    attitudes toward Gingrich than toward Romney. But negative opinions, like other
    opinions, are not set in stone.
    If the election campaign changes the opinions of a
    significant minority of the anti-Gingrich voters — when the alternative is
    Obama — it will not matter how much the remainder may hate Newt.
    Is this a gamble? The painful reality is that everyone in
    this year’s field of Republican candidates is a gamble. And re-electing Barack
    Obama is an even bigger gamble.
    Whichever candidate the Republican voters finally choose
    from this year’s field, they are bound to have reservations, if not fears.
    Gingrich’s worst could be worse than Romney’s worst, both as a candidate and as
    a president. But Gingrich’s best is much better than Romney’s best.
    Sometimes caution can be carried to the point where it is
    dangerous. When the Super Bowl is on the line, you don’t go with the quarterback
    who is least likely to throw an interception. You go with the one most likely to
    throw a touchdown pass.”

    Coulter had it right yesterday when she said to look at the disgraced former speaker (my phrase) and Calista together.  Do you really think American is ready for them as the First Couple (I paraphrased)? The answer is obvious to most!!  Imus also made some cogennt points this morning.  My question of the day for parents (following Gov. Romney’s release of his tax returns) is this:  Would you want your kids to grow up to be like the governor, or Newt Gingrich? I think the answer, again, is obvious to most!!

    I think most real conservatives understand that neither Romney or Gingrich are one of us. What I don’t understand is why all the attacks on Gingrich, but not on Romney. Is Glenn endorsing Romney simply by relentlessly attacking Newt only? I can’t help but think that is what he is doing. Otherwise, why not slam all the progressives and endorse a real conservative even if you think they can’t win?

    Excuse me? If you think Newt can get elected in a general election you are a very sad man… Newt would get slaughtered. Mitt has absolutely no dirt in his closet. The only stuff anyone can every bring up about Mitt is his “flip flop” (if you really must call it that) on life and guns and Romney Care, all of which are getting to be rather old news and Romney has done a fairly good job (though I admit I wish he’d develop more passion in his speech) explaining these things. Newt is absolutely nothing that he says he is. His past is so dirty, so complicated, so dark… and no one really likes the guy. His popularity is lower than Mitt and Obama combined! When it comes time to vote in the general election Obama will take all of the middle, just like last time. Newt will not and CAN not win. So a vote for Newt is a vote for OBABA!!!

    I am distressed that you picture Newt as leaving Congress in shame without illustrating the background of his departure.  For instance, the fact that the Democrats were filing on charge after another (I believe in excess on 30) to keep the press and public in a stew as whether he is honest or not.  How many charges stuck and what was the one that did?  Did you mention how he accomplishing what he did: he made many of his associates distressed by the cutbacks in pork and facing up to the results thereof in perceived “good old boy” backroom deals, etc.  I have all of your books and admire you highly but, on this you are not “fair and balanced.”

    Funny… only one candidate recently supported gun control (raised taxes on guns 400%), was pro-abortion, and is being backed by big business and the establishment who want nothing but more of the same… and that’s Romney.

    Gingrich, on the other hand, led the House to the first Republican majority in modern history, balanced the budget and ran a surplus EVERY year he was in charge, and passed major welfare entitlement reform working against a Democratic Senate and President. That didn’t make him a lot of friends in Washington (as you can tell)… but he got the job done. 

    And now Glenn want’s us to believe that he’s the progressive?

    I predict that Glenn will gradually and incrementally start making less sense, become more disconnected from Reality, and worst of all, believe his own hyperventilated conclusions drawn out of static forms and constructs.

    He taught us all a lot, exposed subversion and treason, set the historical record straight, but now, like a once working engine, is sputtering and misfiring.  Alas, Alas!

    The danger in the success that Glenn has had, with so many praises and popularity, is the insularity from counter opinions and challenges on beliefs as facts.

    Unless you can dump Congress, the Supreme Court and make the president a dictator, Glenn would never be able to achieve the Utopia he speaks of.  Even if he were president, himself.  Speaking awful of everyone in politics does no one any good. Change must come in small increments because of how far we have gone towards the dark side.   We look to Glenn to be a sobering voice for us to consider as we make our choices.

Newt? definitley not Santorum unless he somehow finds the golden egg and  connects fast with the mainstream anti-Obama Americans.  Newt does scare me on the global warming farce and has embraced the liar and climate crook Al Gore and bilge water witch of Pelosi.  We do not need a Wilsonian Progressive in office with Newt.  Love his debates and his Reaganist speak…but he does not walk the talk and that turns me off.  Wow…is it Mitt who is endorsed by my beloved conservative warrior Ann Coulter?  Perhaps.  Down the wire, it will be the Anyone But Obama vote and I believe mainstream Americans will vote that way.    Truth be told then…I will vote the GOP candidate to unseat the Obama Marxist regime.

    Is it possible to seek redemption for ones progressive ways, it does seem that Newt is trying to find his way, we all learn, he has proved factually that he can slow down government growth, he did in the 90s, it has taken since 1913 to get America this far out of control constitutionally, you can not turn it around over night, it will take time. Newt is saying the things I need to hear right now, the Contract with America was brilliant in its time, he has led the Republicans to victory more times than I can count in the right direction. He seems to want to do the right thing, is there Mr. or Ms. perfect out there? I do not see it, but I do see people trying to take America in a direction that was unthinkable just 4 years ago.

    Newt is no different than Romney.  Both of them are no different from Obama except for the fact that they would move more slowly toward the same goal than Obama.  The answer is not Obama, Romney, Gingrich or Paul.  Except for Paul, they are all Progressives.  Progressivism is a cancer that’s destroying our country.  Their goal is to get rid of the Constitution because it’s the only thing standing in the way of Progressives implementing their one-world government (at least, according to George Soros).  Paul, though not a Progressive, has some dangerous ideas, especially when it comes to foreign relations.  My preference is that the Republicans have an open convention so someone else can be nominated.  If that can’t happen, then the only candidate remaining that I could truly get behind is Santorum.  Personally, although I’m a Tea Party member, I just can’t understand how Tea Partiers could possibly support Romney or Gingrich.  I’ll give them a pass on Paul.

He talks a good talk (like John McCain) so the only one that had the contract for America that I certainly supported during that time is Mr. Newt. Mitt Romney raised taxes, he was pro-abortion, he was for mandated HealthCare .  What is wrong with you?

    Can we be honest for once.  What pres. candidate in the last quarter or perhaps longer had the character and integrity of Gov. Romney?  A lovely family and the works!!!!  Some must have expected him to pass a Right to Work law in MA, with the legislature 85% Democratic.  Please!  Look at his wealth.  Every American should applaud him.  He didn’t inherit a dime!  What a success story to share with our children!!!!!!!!

    You give Gingrich the credit for the congress’ actions. They all hated Newt and it was the overwhelming, anti-democratic sentiment that got republicans in. Read any account and all they talk about is Newt trying to get them to back off the budget, back off the abortion, back off everything that made the republicans great in that time. Newt is NOT CONSERVATIVE! The “establishment,” half of which were put in by the tea party, have been very vocal about Romney not being their first choice, but is the best choice. Try seeing things through the eyes of an independent, and you’ll see Romney is the only one that can bring them in. If Newt gets the nomination, then I hope the republican party goes extinct. Maybe then we can start over and at least try maintain some of our integrity. As for the surgeon, being a doctor, I can tell you that you don’t want a doctor who can’t keep his personal life in order working on your brain. Or perhaps you’ve already made that mistake.

    Imagine if the Democrats fielded a candidate with as much baggage as Newt has….we’d be apoplectic!  And justifiably so.  Newt’s the debate champion, for sure, but that and a dollar won’t even get you a soda most places.  I love Newt’s style in the debate format and he is a font of witty sound bites, but I doubt those will win him votes against the Campaigner-in-Chief.  Wish I could get fired up about any of them……Conservatives MUST gain control of the Senate, then it will matter less which GOP is in the Oval Office.

    There is no perfect candidate out there.  The elite Republican Establishment want Romney so bad they can taste it.  However, he is a milk toast with a weak spine and unable to call the Pretender in Chief a Socialist.  At least Newt has a spine and will not be run over.  Whatever his baggage in the past, Newt is the brightest of the bunch and can head Obama his head in a debate.  When he is elected, we can bring him along on the issues people have a problem with.

    I am not a glen beck fan but after listening to those that call themselves fans I surprised they don’t agree with glen on gingrich for he is not a conservative, never has been and would say anything to get elected but to turn on glen for wanting no more progressives in the whitehouse and gingrich is just that, mccain, ronmeny, and gingrich are all obama’s boys and the government elitist have fooled you all. So Glen I am in your corner on this for I am also a Ron Paul Fan and always will be for the constitution and freedom, liberty, smaller government, no spending, balancing the budget, bringing the troops home, are my goals, and this means everything to me and all of the Ron Paul supporters, and now we fing we are at least protecting glen beck’s back!

    A typical Democratic tactic is to use appearances as a reason to dislike a person. I love Coulter and Imus but, you really have to use some discretion with both.  I believe that Romney is not up to the task of transforming the current corruption in DC in that it will almost certainly ruin the person making the attempt.

    Newt has a tendency to verbalize any idea that comes to mind. That doesn’t change the absolute fact that under his leadership the republican party gained gained control of the House for the first time in many decades, and achieved great gains in conservative policy, even while under a liberal Democrat president. Name one thing that any of the other three candidates have accomplished that comes even a close second. Talk is cheap, let’s see who has given us results.

    “Newt Gingrich- Supported and has never renounced his support for a Health care mandate.”

    Then what is stating that the Health Care Mandate is clearly unconstitutional if not a repudiation of his position? (see: http://abcnews.go.com/Politics/video/gingrich-individual-mandate-unconstitutional-15073261) I would rather have someone who is at least moving his positions in the right direction rather than, for example, Romney, who has never repudiated his positions on the Massachusetts health care law.

We have to vote or it is a vote for Obama and if Rick Santorum  doesn’t get the nomination then we must settle for one of the other two, Newt or Romney (and I do not want Romney after reading his record)

    So Newt’s 15 year building of GOPAC and the Contract with America… which was indisputably the reason and foundation for all the above… was just a ruse… and had nothing to do with the Republican majority? 

    And once in as Speaker, he actively worked against all the above? And shutting down government to force Clinton’s hand was not his idea either? If you expect people to believe that, perhaps you need to have a brain scan.

    OK, so what do we do? Herman Cain, Michelle Bachman, and Sarah Palin are great conservatives but they are no longer in the race. I would vote for any one of them in a heartbeat. Rick Santorum is a great candidate and I will back him to the hilt as a good conservative choice. However, Rick may not make it to the final winner’s circle. That leaves Newt and Mitt. Unless someone else steps up, we have no other candidates. We can bash them all we want (and I have reservations with both, and don’t agree with them on everything), but they are better by any measurement you want to measure than another 4 years of Obama? Would I vote for Newt or Mitt over Obama? Absolutely…..that’s a no brainer. Will our country be better off 4 years later with either Newt or Mitt than with Obama? Maybe not perfect, but better off? Absolutely!!

  • Anonymous

      Confusing stuff these days. All aboard the Newt train for so many conservatives!
    I liked Herman Cain, I liked Perry, I liked Michelle Bachman, I like Santorum, I even like the answers Romney gave in the debates. Conservatives could not stomach Herman Cain but Newt is right on! Right on! Right on! 

     Alleged affairs by a man that stayed married. Unsubstantiated affairs by people living in an apartment complex with Obama’s attack dog Axelrod who made attacks on his character from up to 20 years ago that cannot be substantiated and are made by desperate (financially) people with very checkered pasts. Cannot have this man, Herman Cain, in the running for President. But a man who it can be substantiated had 3 affairs and probably many more. For instance, one woman, Anne Manning came forth and confirmed a relationship with Newt during the 1976 campaign. She said “We had oral sex. He prefers that modus operandi because then he can say, ‘I never slept with her.’”  If this is the case, what makes republicans think that a long line of accusations is not coming? And that is just sex and adultery…

      There was the book deal in 1984. Horrendous and evil, NO, but illegal and lines were crossed. There were actually 3 border line book deals. Again bad judgment not evil. Story of Newt’s political life…bad judgement.
      Newt is the Father of earmarks (he designed them as a way to keep republicans in power, there were none before him), helped develop the idea of an individual Healthcare mandate and supported the idea for 18 years at the Federal level (Newt was for it before he was against it), proposed cap and trade and other ideas to fight AGW, insisted on a comprehensive immigration proposal rather than build the fence and secure border first- all other issues related get addressed later (he was for it before he was against it) , was tossed out of the speakership for corruption and poor leadership, was for Medicare part D (not to mention the “doc fix” legislation that deceptively “fix” the Medicare budget yearly but the savings are never realized and terrorize doctors) and even strong armed Republicans (who were instinctively against it) into voting for it,  he accused Paul Ryan of Right Wing Social Engineering for trying to gradually nudge Medicare in a bipartisan way toward private accounts (Newt was against Ryan’s plan before he was for it), S-CHIP program -now near 4 in 10 children in the US are on Medicaid (a terrible and expensive medical plan which would later become one of our budget breakers of today’s budgets-err continuing resolutions), and proposed eliminating Federal judges who don’t vote your idea of the constitution and calling up judges before congress (what’s fair for Republicans is fair game for Democrats). Newt bounced 22 checks as was revealed in the House banking scandal. YUP that is our guy. He talks tough to the media and has big ideas. Shesssh, we never learn!

      “I think you can write a psychological profile of me, that says I found a way to immerse my insecurities in a cause large enough to justify whatever I wanted it to.”  Newt once told interviewer Gail Sheehy. This fits nicely with the infamous comment about Clinton putting Newt in the back of Air Force One. His crushed ego led to the collapse ( with this plane comment) of Republicans commitment to their budget and with that -came the reelection of Bill Clinton. Tom Coburn said Gingrich (at that time) became a whipped dog.

      From Avik Roy: Former congressman Chris Shays (R., Conn.) probably captured the strength and weakness of Newt best in comments to Bolduc: “He’s a true entrepreneur in the classic sense. You can launch the business, but you can’t necessarily run it.” Gingrich brought us a once-unimaginable House GOP majority but ended up using that majority to expand, rather than shrink, the size of government. (see father of earmarks above as example).

      Coburn and Shays are now skewered by Newt admirers as establishment Republicans and some even use the name Rino which is bizarre. They get added to the list of John Campbell, Jason Chaffetz, Nikki Haley, and Jeff Flake. Even though their records are near 100% conservative.

      In the debates Newt has rattled off hundreds of things that ‘he will’ do to fix things. A president who is going to ‘do’ many many many things but all these things have to be written up in committees and passed by a House and Senate. Reagan had 3 goals and he focused on them and put a lot of energy into getting them done and they changed the country (and the world). A hundred or hundreds of things? Is this leadership, the shotgun approach? Gingrich is famous for finding red meat items to work on, but the critical items we conservatives are interested in- to get America back on track; get pushed to the back of the bus. The Tea Party was about the insane spending from 2008 through 2010 (and before) and the effect this spending would have on taxes soon enough for us and big time for our children and grandchildren. The Tea Party is still concerned about spending but now have different arenas in which we battle, enlarging the Tea Party caucus in congress. I know it is David Frum but see http://www.thedailybeast.com/articles/2012/01/23/newt-gingrich-trivial-issues-warrior.html

    So then who is the non progressive?  Surely Romney is a progressive and worse? Could it be Santorum?  If not, then who is the least progressive?  People say that Newt will be creamed.  By whom, a non existing president.  Ladies and gentleman I say the fight is for life and with Obama it is death. Slow and sure death.  We must come together as a nation for a candidate that can win over Obama.  So then who is it that we rally behind?  For me Romney is better than Obama, Newt is better than Romney, Santorum is better than Newt, but in the end I will vote for the Republican.  In the mean time we have allowed the liberal media to rip our people apart.  We are becoming so fractured that it may be hard for either of them to win.  I feel we as a people are once again being lead astray.

    I have emailed so many people asking why no one mentions about why Newt Gingrich very vigorously supported Dede Scozzafava, a very liberal Republican who in 2008 was running for congress in the NY 23 district,  Scozzafava was pro-choice and for Gay marriage.  I never saw Newt so upset in statements he made after Scozzafava lost the primary.  His first statement after the Scozzafava’s loss was one of an angry man.  If Newt professes to be such a conservative why would he “so vigorously” support this liberal candidate.

    The Dems did the same thing to Sarah Palin when she was Governor of Alaska.  They filed one ethics violation after another after another and she felt it was costing the state too much money – so she stopped them by resigning.  That is the reason Newt resigned – not in disgrace, but to stop the Dems in their tracks.  The $300,000 was not a fine.  I am VERY disappointed in Mitt Romney.  He started all the despicable attack ads and Newt had no choice but to defend himself.  Republicans are playing right into the Dems hands and creating so much inner-chaos whoever becomes our nominee will have little time to recover before Obama and his thugs get started.  I am furious at Glenn for his attacks on Newt Gingrich.  If Newt is our nominee, what is Glenn going to do – vote for Obama??? – not vote???  If he doesn’t cast a vote for our candidate, he will be voting for Obama.  Shame on Glenn.

    Newt, like Romney is NOT the only person that can beat Obama.You need to stop listening to political pundits that keep trying to brainwash people into how BRILLIANT Obama is. Ever LISTEN to Obama try to speak or answer questions without the benefit of a teleprompter? I’ve never heard so much stammering! Obama is NOT a Constitutional lawyer, nor has he ever been a law professor, he’s just someone that has been propped up by the progressives and supported and protected by the media. Just because you give a few guest lecture speeches in a college classroom does not make you a prof. Newt IS a progressive, and I’m really getting tired of his flip flopping being excused as “I changed my mind…or I’ve learned since then”. For someone of his intelligence, he had to know that the global warming was nothing more than a power grab…The fear in electing a person that thinks FDR was a swell guy is that people will be lulled into a false sense of security because they think a conservative is in the White House. He’ll sweet talk and lull americans back to sleep and take away even more of our liberties. Newt may be quick with the answers HE wants to answer (anyone notice how he avoided two questions asked of him during the debate???) I think it would be interesting if the TEA party would go out and vote like crazy for Santorum. It would shock the pundits and shake up the GOP. They are only in charge of who is nominated because WE allow them to tell us how to think and vote.

    Alright, so Glenn, tell us who can win against Obama.  Rick Santorum?  He’s a great man.  He is a great conservative.  He is loved by his wife and children.  He goes to church every Sunday, BUT HE CAN’T WIN AGAINST OBAMA.  So you know what will happen?  They will put another John McCain in and he will win the nomination but he won’t win against Obama.  Remember 2008?  Huckabee and Guiliani were in the race.  One of them should have won the nomination, but did they?  No.  We got RatB*** John McCain.  Who would vote for him?  No one.  But we did.  Progressive NWO globalists, not just Soros, we all know who they are except it seems you Glenn,  are running this country.  America we can’t win.  It’s all over

    Newt has said a number of things over the years, that I disagree with. However, I have to keep going back to what he actually accomplished when he was speaker. I believe he would carry that same approach as president. Apparently, many of us TEA PARTY folks feel the same way.

    But it still comes down to who can beat Obama…..
    Romney   No
    Santorum No
    Paul        No
    Gingrich   Maybe

    So,unless you have someone else to propose; someone who actually has the name recognition and support of the great majority of voters; someone who has the financial and organizational resources to enter the race now and win…. your solution is to not vote for anybody ?
    I can only buy that as a strategy if you also start a program pushing conservative Senate candidates, so we can control the purse strings and legislative direction.

    One serious doubt that exists on his characterization of Newt (is the disease catching from Ann ColdTurkey and Jennifer Rubsin?) is the number and quality of endorsements of Newt:

    The ones I am aware of:  Newsmax, Rick Perry (and by extension, Bobby Jindal, Chuck Norris, Mike Huckabee (implicitly), Sean Hannity (implicitly), Brent Bozell (implicitly),  Todd and Sarah Palin,  Fred Thompson, Thomas Sowell, many Evangelical leaders, and many state Conservative politicians.

    So many people are making political calculations based on ABO.

    Mitt has demonstrated he doesn’t understand how quickly big government
    can take what he thinks is a good idea and turn it into a cluster f()ck.

    Newt has the unique ability to twist big-governments concepts into a balloon animal full of hot air that Conservatives are willing to accept. However, at the core, Newt believes that Government can and should be used to “fix” things. He is a proponent of national healthcare, man-made global warming and is riddled with character flaws, yet Conservatives are saying, “but he’s good in debates” and “he’s balanced the budget in the past”. Beck is playing Newt’s own words back and connecting those dots. It’s not that big of a stretch.

    Santorum is solid with a track-record of conservative actions, not just lip service. I’ve spoken to dozens of people who say something to the effect of, “I think Santorum is the best guy, but I think (Newt/Mitt) have a better chance of beating Obama. I believe that if everyone who is making that calculation would send $50 to Santorum we could get the truly hopeful message of Conservatism out and he will win.

    Reagan wasn’t the party favorite either and people said he was too conservative. However, he appealed to people’s common sense and traditional values and he kicked butt…twice. Santorum isn’t Reagan, but he is just as solid and we can count on him to fight for the values and principles that made America great while making sure we are strong enough to defend ourselves against Islamic radicals.

    will SOMEBODY just ask Newt Gingrich: “Are you a member of the Council on Foreign Relations?”  According to my lists from CFR itself, he is and was.  IMHO, they are the worst traitorous skunks in the Nation.  When I asked Sens Javits and Schumer (sen.-to-be at the time) that question, they almost heart-attacked.  The latter answered NO, but when I stared him down and mentioned I had him on the list, he said “Well, I was, but am not now.”  Two lies!  Over time, I found that he not only was then but had been for a while — and still is!  But this just goes to show that these CFR members don’t want us to know about it.  Wise up, Glenn, my friend

    “Although constitutionally legal at the state level a true conservative
    would never implement such a intrusive governmental authority into
    peoples lives ( Newt is the same on the Dept of
    education-a decision that should belong to the states).”

    Newt, from the 9/22/2011 GOP debate in Orlando ”
    I think you need very profound reform of education at the state level.
    You need to dramatically shrink the federal Department of Education, get
    rid of virtually all of its regulations. And the truth is,
    I believe we’d be far better off if most states adopted a program of the
    equivalent of Pell Grants for
    K-through-12, so that parents could choose where their child went to
    school, whether it was public, or private, or home-schooling, and
    parents could be involved. Florida has a virtual school program that is
    worth the entire country studying as an example.”

    Sounds to me like the only difference between Newt and what you’re calling for is a matter of degree, elimination of the DOE or serious downsizing.

    Look I love Glen and what he represents. All his projects in my opinion are noble and head in the direction we as a country and individuals need to go.  Sometimes we all get it wrong and I believe Glen has here.  That doesn’t mean he is, he does have a great tract record on being right, but years ago Newt was attacked by the progressives and the establishment GOP.  I have read every one of Newts bills he voted on and sponsored.  He for the most part has championed lower taxes and less regulation, including regulation in health care.  He has held on too tight for too long that mandate idea.   Conservatives where fighting Hillary care and came up with that nonsense.

    I think most of us here know that Obama is a progressive to his core.  Newt is not so much a progressive in principle but has “big” progressive ideas.  He also has great conservative ideas.  His ability to articulate those ideas are amazing.  The fact that he likes Woodrow Wilson kills me (I understand that red flag and how it could impale you right in the eye) His Teddy R and FDR comments are very disturbing as well.  Two things about that. 
    One Reagan’s favorite president was FDR.  Now Reagan did have a turning point and didn’t necessarily believe in FDR policy.
    Two I have noticed Newt tends to try and take a progressive point of view and bring conservatism to it.  I’m not saying that’s right just saying it doesn’t make him a progressive just too smart for his own good. Or he thinks he is smart enough.  Let me make clear though, what Newt does is equivalent to a group of collectivist deciding to jump off a cliff and an individual say’s look at those dummies jumping together, I as an individual will jump on my own.

    To rap up my point I do not think we have a great conservative candidate besides Santorum but even he has flaws and unfortunately is too social conservative to win.  (Although i agree with him just stating and unfortunate reality) If we get more Tea party conservative/libertarian members to control the congress they can pave the way back to the Constitution, not take us there just pave the way, and Newt could articulate why.  And then I guess we just cross our fingers and hope that same congress can restrain Newt and his “BIG IDEAS”.

    Of course in the mean time with Obama out of the office, we will have a little more time to prepare our food storage, our character, our faith, our community and network, our means of defending ourselves and becoming who God intended us to be.

    Newt’s hair-trigger personality & actions, changing his personal history at will is symptomatic of his unstable demeanor.  He is a big government guy – who changes his position daily.  He is glib, scarcastic, mean spirited, ignorant of economics, anti-capitalistic, pro-global warming, demeaning to the long-term un-employed, womanizing, street fighting, pugnacious, vindictive guy with a superiority complex. 

    Because Gingrich can deliver speeches well, without hesitation (or stuttering) he can make it sound that he is the ultimate authority on everything.  He dodges questions that will elicit a negative side of his past by going on the offense. Newt reminds me of the manic Mr. Toad (only without his compassion) – high and low, driving all over the place. 

    Many conservative, highly educated, Republican women will not vote for Gingrich – at all.  They will stay home or vote for Obama. Frank Luntz should do a focus group about suburban women & Newt. Even my 89 year old mother says “why do we want to nominate a fat, white-haired, old man to run against Obama”. 

    Santorum and Romney have Juris Doctorates, Paul is a Medical Doctor -Gingrich has a PhD in Modern European History, but with an encyclopedic recall of facts – often time erroneous, but he states the mwith such adamant authority you beleive them.  Doe he belong to Mensa what is his IQ?

    Newt’s anti-capitalism rants and attacks are really smoke screens to cover the fact that he is jealous of Mitt; he dismisses both Santorum & Paul as trivial candidates.  Romney went to Harvard Law & B School, worked his fingers off in business to be able to live off his investments.  Newt, however, chose the Washington Pol career path by first representing a small congressional district, becoming Speaker – getting censured – and after resigning, going the lobbyist, consultant to Freddie Mac, wirter, speaker route to wealth.

    Perfection has never been the goal.  Glenn is absolutely right: Newt is a bald-faced liar and his speeches and writings from the past prove it.  He openly admits elsewere that he intends to destroy United States by smashing genuine Christianity (not his form of false religion for political expediency’s sake) and ending American sovereignty in order to set up a totalitarian New World Order.  His aims are identical to Obama’s because both men are puppets of the “jewish” global elites.  If the race comes down to Obama vs. Gingrich, the American people will be screwed either way.

    Read his forward to the Toffler’s book, “Creating A New Civilization.”  The Washington Post has quoted Gingrich as stating, “I have an enormous political ambition.  I want to shift the entire planet and I’m doing it.”  This is a man who evidences a serious absense of honesty, and character with megalomaniac tendencies.

    I’m not suggesting that Romney is any better.  He’s clearly one of the elites, having hired a eugenics professor from Harvard to advise him on how to rapidly deplete the US poplation.  Santorum appears to be posing as a conservative with a big government voting record while in the Senate, so it appears to me that he is a liar too.  That leaves Ron Paul, the only real advocate for common sense, ending the Fed and seriously paring back American imperialism which is only a way to further the aims of the global elites and their dream for a New World Order.

If you’re a conservative it should be clear that neither Romney nor Gingrich represent you. Conservatives and Libertarians alike need to coalesce around Santorum and Paul and eliminate the dead weight.

    The “state” and the “collective” is the opposite of the principles of individual liberty and responsibility upon which America was founded. The more local, the better, the more accountable the government can be. Government is a bacteria. Up to a point some bacteria serve a purpose that is healthy. In the case of government that is to provide for a common defense and support basic infrastructure. However, when that bacteria run amok and begins to consume more and more resources we need to survive, it will kill the host if it is not beaten into submission and put into its proper context.

    It is obvious that Newt is one polished politician. Whatever he said before has little meaning, as he said things that people only wanted to hear. That’s why he denies those former words. It only proves that he is a liar, just like all the rest of the candidates, just like all the politicians in Washington. What America needs badly is a leader who is willing to stand up and be counted. Admit to previous faults, if there were any, but show everybody that America needs to get rid of the corruption in the government. I have yet to see anybody have the balls to do just that, except Sarah Palin. The dems AND the republicans were truly scared of her for saying these things so openly, and the media virtually slew her down. I believe that she would have at least tried to clean out Washington, but there was little public support for her. Newt is too comfy in Washington as he is just another elitist who belongs to the corruption. The only position he is missing is the presidency and the POWER that goes with it, just like Obama.

    Glenn, you were great when you were trying to educate us. If, as you say, that Newt is a progressive, and we like him, and feel he should be the next President, then I guess you didn’t do such a good job on the education front, huh!
    And, you are no better than the media and the GOP trying to cram your favorite Santorum (who, by the way has baggage too) down our throats. And, he is a liar.
    I still have my subscription, but until you go back to being the teacher instead of the pusher, I willl no longer watch your show.
    I don’t really care what someone did in their past. You have one, I have one, we all do. People can change. Whatever Newt may or may not have been back then (and I believe he was a true asset to this country then), he said he has changed, and it appears that he has.
    Why is it, that you (a total disaster in your past), seem to be the only one that can seek redemption and be forgiven for what you have done in the past? I thought forgiveness was the Christian mantra. Oh, I guess, only for self, not the other guy.
    You and Schnitt need to take a lesson form people like Rush and Hannity. Don’t push your opinion on the rest of us. Teach us the history and let us make up our own minds.

    I agree 100%.  What Glenn is doing is amazing and totally bias against Newt.  The Speaker may not be perfect however, I as a devoted Christian believe in redemption, and it is SO OBVIOUS tha Glenn Beck doesn’t.  It is a shame that he has taking a rough road in trashing Newt.  He should go to http://www.therightscoop.com , and check the CNN video from the years that Newt was sanctions in Congress and the result of such sanctions.  Also, Glenn and other can see a video from a very Conservative voice, Mark Levin where he confront Chris Christie for his trashing of Newt during an interview yesterday.  I have plans to go to Texas for the event he is planning, but not anymore!!

    So let’s talk specifics.  What is it about Paul’s ideas on foreign relations that you find so dangerous and why?

    In my local area, the Tea Party movment is run by a Zionist “jewess” who has been dismissive of Ron Paul from the outset for obvious reasons: he does not support Zionism and transfer payments from white Christian taxpayers to “jewish” terrorists who run the state of Israel in the form of US foreign aid.  I am guessing that many Tea Party movements have been infiltrated and corrupted by leaders who are not what they claim to be in order to steer the constitutional conservative votes toward one of the two current leading Republican candidates, both of who support the global elites’ New World Order agenda just as Obama does.  All three of these men serve the same evil masters.

    That is a foolish thing to say. If you’re hiring someone for a job, don’t you do your best to evaluate their behavior, and character? Will they do the job you want done? Will their behavior while working for you reflect well on you? If you think scrutinizing someone’s actions is a bad idea, you probably also let your teen-age daughter go out with whoever she wants without meeting them first.

    Let’s face facts.  We don’t have a really strong candidate that we can feel really good about.  One might think that Gingrich can win because of his debate? skills.  I ask, does anyone reallly believe that Obama will open himself to a bunch of debates?  Not a chance.  He will likely agree to one debate, moderated by his liberal cronies, and that will be it.  I don’t think Newt would have a chance without all the debate opportunities that he has been afforded in the primaries.   In my humble opinion, we should get behind Romeny. If we can get him elected, whatever his shortcomings, I think he will be able to make great strides in turning back the Obama presidency, giving us a chance to find a more libertarian candidate for the next election.

    You may be right. Obama & his machine are slick. Can’t count them out especially since we have such flawed candidates. Newt or Mittens are  constitutional fiscal social conservatives. The ones we had, the Tea Party, 912, and the like let them get trashed by the establishment or sometimes doing it themselves. Glenn has been all over the place in who he has supported and I guess now it is Santorum who is proven not to be a fiscal conservative which this country needs so badly now. Social is important, but if I had to choose, but one it would be fiscal as this is one of the roles of Government. Social issues can be dealt with via the states.

    You may want to see what Dick Armey said about the tea party movement. http://video.foxnews.com/v/1411883245001/state-of-tea-party-in-2012/?playlist_id=86858
    I think they have failed. He speaks about the Tea party sitting on the sidelines during the choosing of a nominee. His justification doesn’t cut it. If we go to convention as Dick thinks, there is no guarantee that Mittens won’t be the winner. We as Constitutional Fiscal Social Conservatives should have supported the candidates with these credentials. They are all gone now, ended when Perry left.

    Keith, I think the one thing you are not considering is that Obama can’t win against Mitt or Newt. This is not because of Mitt or Newt, it is because he will finally be vetted for what he is and in many cases in his own words. This will all start next month and get more intense as we get closer to the voting booth. The bottom line voting will be anyone but Obama. However this will not happen calmly and we should expect much civil unrest from Unions, Acorn, Panthers, Obama mentors and the likes of the Occupy groups. The big race card game will begin in a historical fasion. This is the game plan for trying to turn everything inside out that we know.
    The Liberal Socialist/Marxist/Communist leaning folks have no other option but to surrender at least temporailly. The people will win, just how much is unknown.

    As someone who was stationed in Charleston for four years with the Navy, you have to realize that the Civil War is not over there yet.  Gingrich is from neighboring Georgia.  Romney is from Massacusetts.  The 54th Massachusetts used black troops and South Carolina has neither forgotten nor forgiven.  That is what the vote in S.C. really said.  It was not an Evangelista reaction to the Mormon.  It was plain and simple a racial vote.

As for me, I like Santorum but fear he can’t hold it with Obama’s attack machine. He loves God and his family too much to subject them to what Obama will do to them.Why does everyone think Romney can win when he couldn’t even beat McCain. A vote for him is as good as handing Obama the election!

    Glenn is doing to Newt Gingrich what Media Matters does to Glenn.

    And Glenn is being dishonest in his coverage
    of Newt Gingrich by taking things out of chronological context, cherry
    picking soundbites, and stringing together unrelated clips.

    I have to ask myself what’s worse, a man who said a few things that I
    don’t like, or a man who actually implemented policy that I think
    damages the country? Glenn can only point to soundbites of newt, he
    can’t point to actual POLICIES AND VOTING RECORDS. I can point to LOTS
    of Romney policy…

    Mitt was for abortion before he was against it
    Mitt appointed Liberal Judges
    Mitt was the first person to attempt to institute an interstand cap and trade program
    Mitt signed gun control legislation
    Mitt repeatedly raised taxes
    Mitt funded planned parenthood
    Mitt is CURRENTLY (today) invested in Freddie and Fannie (talk about hypocrisy)

    And don’t give me this Mitt was up against a Democratic majority
    nonsense.  Reagan was up against a democratic majority and he was able
    to get things done.  Why?  Because he had a spine. 

    If Mitt caves to democrat pressure in Washington like he did in Mass.
    and appoints liberal judges it could be the END of the Republic. 

    I had so much hope for Glenn, but it appears he may just be a charlatan.

    Here is what we need to be looking at – the direction each candidate has been taking over the past few years.  Romney says he has changed and is moving in a conseravtive direction. Gingrich often touts his conservative record during his time in the House.  Since leaving office, however, he has supported a federal health care mandate, endorsed global warming legislation, taken money from Freddie Mac, supported cap and trade, suggested some kind of amnesty for illegal aliens, and seems to suggest the need for government involvement in a whole array of other
    issues.  Then when called on these things he has an excuse.

    It’s all about trajectory.  Romney has been heading right, Gingrich has been heading left.  Do your research and you’ll see I’m right.

    And for those who are espousing redemption for Gingrich, why aren’t you willing to give Romney the same benefit of the doubt?

    Your whole paragraph is full of contradictions. You say, “no one likes Newt” and yet he just had a landslide in S.C. and I like him. Yes, he’s made mistakes but that’s what men of force do. You’ve probably heard, “men of force are men of faults!” What we don’t need in facing Obama is a luke warm, string for a backbone jellyfish, and that’s Mitt. He doesn’t know what he believes and he’s not what we need as commander and chief. I like the fact that Newt has made some mistakes and has come out and admitted it. What I really dislike in this life are the “holy’r than thou hypocrites” who look down their nose and condemn others when they themselves are probably guilty of worse. Seem to me that old Mitt is getting his butt kicked. And, by the way, I don’t give a damn what Beck thinks. He can have his opinion and I can have mine and I don’t see anyone else that has the experience and the guts to see this thing through.

    What we are fighting against is UNCONSTITUTIONALISM, something we have adopted gradually over the last 100 years.  If we stuck to the Constitution, we wouldn’t be where we are today.  There is no way of turning anything around without a total move back to Constitutionalism, because our unconstitutional actions are what is breaking us economically and in many other ways.

    As Ron Paul explained here, http://tinyurl.com/7l2tfaw being Conservative is being Constitutional.  The only candidate with a platform that is constitutional is Ron Paul.  All of the others stand for actions that go against what the Constitution allows of government.  And there is nothing conservative about having an unconstitutional platform like all the other candidates do.  It’s time people wake up to this fact.  Maybe you don’t like what the Constitution says.  But do you really even understand it?

    For Beck to have any problem with Ron Paul at all says one of these things:  1) Either Beck doesn’t know or understand what Ron Paul’s positions really are (not unusual because the media has so distorted what he says and blacked his own words out so much) ; 2) Glenn is not a Conservative at all; or 3) Glenn is a total fraud.

    I hope it is the first one and that he will do some real thorough investigating before he speaks from misunderstanding and ignorance again.

    Military people study the tactics of people like Genghis Khan. That doesn’t mean they become barbaric marauders, they just get better at what they do. Gingrich has studied governance for 50 years. Just because some of the presidents he studied and admires - for strategy, style, technique, whatever - happened to be progressive doesn’t mean he embraced progressivism. He has fought hard for preserving America and American values.

    I dont find it hard to believe,,, not at all !. The Christian Church in America are the ones who dropped the ball by letting the nut-case named Obummer get elected.We Christians are supposed to be the light but in 2008  people just sat back an said,,,, Just let God handle it,,, or,, Im blessed and highly favored and God is in control. Mean while the stinking Lil devils said look!!!  the stupid Christians have let their guards down while playing church,, lets attack an fundamentally change America into the way we want it. Then guess what happened !!

    Gingrich’s military policy is not constitutional.  There is nothing conservative about unconstitutional positions.  Newt IS a huge progressive, plus a big globalist CFR member.  Newt is a big Wilson fan and supported Rockefeller.

    BTW, Newt had 84 ethics violations in 6 years.  I don’t consider that working hard for preserving America and American values.  Contrast that with Ron Paul who has had 0 ethics violations in 30 years.

    You better wake up before you prove yourself as uninformed, ignorant, gullible and stupid as the Obama voters were in 2008.

    You only like Romney because he is a smooth-talking elite that only serves the elite.  His flip flops do not just cover social issues like abortion, they range from being for gov’t stimulus, for the federal reserve system, for cap and trade, for global warming, for gov’t top-down control of healthcare for all states, etc…

    Romney’s aides bought all the hardware during his time in MA, clearly he has a lot to hide.

    Also, Romney will play into Obama’s theme of using the low tax, etc.. that Romney and his GS buddies made money from.

    Newt’s talent as a debater is his ability turn the table and change his attacker’s position to one of defense while his position suddenly becomes that of the victim, as with the S. Carolina debate. While I personally deplore all the tax loopholes built into our tax code, one cannot faul Mitt Romney for being smart enough to utilize them to his advantage. Being LDS, if more voters understood the tenets of that religion, would benefit Mitt as a testimony to his business ethics and respect for human values and personal choice, whereas Newt’s history of leaving his position as Speaker of the House in disgrace speaks for itself. If Newt is indeed the RNC’s choice to run against Obama, it is the choice of the progressives in DC and not, I fear, the choice of the people.

    So the way the 2012 Presidental election goes: “We’re damned if we do and damned if we don’t”, given that Mr. Gingrich is the nominee. I’m really not surprised; both Democrats and Republicans have few answers for righting our economy. The country has been spent into bankruptcy now and into the future. We have expected that the barbarians would be always at our gates, but the fools in Washington have mortgaged our gates. Rome in 405AD. “How the Irish Saved Civilization” by Thomas Cahill.

    I cannot believe people do not see the “sameness” with Gingrich and Obama.  Both slick speakers, both liars, both egotistical, both amoral.  The only real difference is Gingrich’s wife
    keeps her mouth shut.  Getting Gingrich in is four more years of the same.  When his own party does not trust or approve of him, that says a lot.  At least the misguidfed Dems approve
    of their leader Obama.As a Ma resident, I believe Mitt Romney will be a fine president and will
    serve this country well.  Compare his dignified stance with that of crybaby newt who cannot
    wait to punish even with lies.

    I resent being called a “casual fan”.  We spent 60+ hours on a piece of crap, broken down bus with a backed up stinky toilet to attend your 8-28 Restoring Courage, faithfully watched your Fox programming for a couple of years, took notes, recorded shows, and even signed up for Dallas.  I’ve preached to family and friends and alienated more than a few. 

    Now you are losing us with your relentless rhetoric about Gingrich.  For the past couple days you’ve been extolling the virtues of Romney while slamming Gingrich, including childish put-downs calling him ”fat”.   There’s no transparency whatsoever in your elevation of Romney and it appears you are trying to influence the voters to benefit Romney – guess you’ve changed your mantra and we no longer should “read it and learn for ourselves”.  Don’t worry, Glenn will tell us what to do.  IF you should decide to spend three hours lambasting Romney for saying he would vote for NDAA, then you will regain some credibility with this household.   

    By the way, we are Santorum supporters - have contributed to his campaign (same with Bachmann).

    its funny you have a person that has been in the middle of govt, as the speaker no less, and because they have found information or amunition as you will to use against him, they are slam dunking his past. so far all ive seen is an informed, undoubtably great debater with tons of knowledge, that fesses up to the mistakes he has made, and has proven many of the false allegations about himself. he went out of the house not as a disgrace, get your facts straight, and his insights were missed after he was gone. the ethics charges everyone brings out were dropped, and i have heard many versions of the freddy mac problem, but again he brings up what went on there, and clears himself. glenn, i admire you greatly, and i listen to everything you have to say, but when it comes to newt gingrich, i find an itelligent, knowledgable, and excellent speaker that knows the govt and will not spend the first four yrs learning the job, he will walk in there and begin to clear up the aweful mess that has been going on, and begin to rebuild our origins. they laughed at reagan when he got in bringing up that he was just an actor, and look at what he accomplished, i was proud to call him the father of my country. newt is a christian, a good husband to his wife, and a father and grampa, give him a chance, he is asking our forgiveness of past discresions, as he did to god, and all i see before me is the man i believe that can start us on the correct path back to the america we believe in, god bless america, bring GOD back into our country and it will once more prosper

    All 3 approve of the existence of the Federal Reserve.  This is unconstitutional.  They all approve of wars of aggression (not for our defense, but for offense).  This is unconstitutional.  While they try to make it look reasonable, that’s how we moved away from the Constitution gradually all these years.

    There is not one politician that will ever meet your specifications. If you find one he/she will be so far out in the extreme that only nut cases will consider him/her acceptable for anything but a straight jacket. That is a definition of Ron Paul.

    Glenn, you have left the building and I am not following you any longer. My wife still likes you but I do not anymore.

    Your economics book was all fluff and must have been written by some one with a 4th grade education with the attention span of 5 minutes.

    We went to Israel with you, we went to Washington DC with you, we went to at least 3 movie houses to listen to you and have attended at least 5 of your personal appearances including your seminar in Orlando on how to put things right. What a complete farce that was. You can not even keep one of your sessions going in the same direction.

    When it comes to interviewing someone we have to listen to you tell how it is and then get maybe a nod from the expert you brought in to speak. That is unless the person talks over you.

    You condemn other people for their mistakes even though they have asked for forgiveness. However you constantly remind us of  your drunken wasted years you put your family and friends to. Did you ever ask for their forgiveness and if you did did they forgive you time and time again only to have you fall off the wagon again and again? In the end they most likely just let you go to the bottom and let you dig yourself out . Forgiveness came afterward most likely.

    Yet you can not find it in your heart to forgive others. You remind me of story in the bible where Jesus heals several lepers but only one comes back to thank Him. You evidently was not the one that came back.

    Glenn, you are a hypocrite of the highest order.

    Initially I was not for Romney, leaning toward Rick Santorum and Newt Gingrich.
    As I evaluated them over the last few weeks, it became evident Newt Gingrich was
    an “angry old man” only exceeded by his arrogance in pushing his being a true
    conservative, which appears to be “accurately identified by Ron Paul as
    “counterfeit” – I’ve not seen any rebuttal on the “youtube” video “The Real Newt Gingrich” I asked many to
    watch – making it sound more credible with time.At first I thought maybe Rick Santorum would
    be a good running mate for Romney to give us the “best of both” but he is
    loosing my vote for because of his recent rhetoric. On Mitt R, being a “flip
    flopper”- his record was being able to work successfully with a heavy Democratic
    state legislature to improve MA govt for “We The People” – he has clearly become
    more pro-life – not just because of his religion, but for the reasons he stated.
    You need to decide for yourself. Another point, as a member of the same
    religion as Mitt now for 52.5 years, I can attest, each year there is an
    election, a letter from the Presidency of the Church is read before the start of Sacrament
    Meeting, encouraging us to study the candidates, then cast our votes for issues and  those we feel to be good and honest to represent us.I lived in the Middle East
    a total of 10 years and as a result am convinced that religious leaders telling
    the members of their congregations “who to vote for” leads to the same
    corruption as evidenced by “radical Islam.” Living in Iran for two years and then in Saudi Arabia
    for 8 years, gave insight into what happens to a people, when their religious
    leaders tell them how to vote (at the peril of their lives) and who also worked
    to keep the people ignorant so they could be more easily controlled. Encouraging
    people to study the candidates/issues and then select who they each consider
    best qualified based on their own perspective I believe is the best course. The
    words of a hymn course though my mind as I’m writing this:

    “Know this, that every soul is free, to choose his
    life and what he’ll be; For this eternal truth is given, that God will force no
    man to Heaven. He’ll call, persuade, direct aright, but never force the human
    mind.
    Freedom and reason make us men, take these away what
    are we then; Mere animals, and just as well, the beasts may still know heaven
    from hell.”

    We have our agency to choose. Hopefully we will
    choose the right.

    Thanks for listening, Ray

    Newt is electable because people are judged on what they have done and not the efforts they do to discuss, consult, and debate.  Like Palin Newt was driven out of office by Democrat ethics filings legal costs, no hard evidence.  That says a lot to me.  He is effective against liberals.
    Santorum record is short like Obama’s, however; Lincoln also had a short resume.  
    Romney as a governor had a list of things done that are not conservative.

    Isn’t it hilarious when someone calls Gov.

    I agree with most of what you posted here but noticed you gave God the ability to grant rights to mankind and then you seem to set Him aside as if he is not a willing participant in our daily lives.  God has made it known to us that “All Things Are Possible” through Him.  If we have failed as a nation it is not because we are conservative or progressive, it is because we are dismissive of the only ONE who can turn us in the right direction.  God gave us a simple yet seldom followed blueprint to being successful as individuals and as a nation…   “YOU SHALL LOVE THE LORD YOUR GOD WITH ALL YOUR HEART, AND WITH ALL YOUR SOUL, AND WITH ALL YOUR STRENGTH, AND WITH ALL YOUR MIND; AND YOUR NEIGHBOR AS YOURSELF.”  Luke 10:27.  You were correct when you said, “…I First and foremost know that their is an eternal Judge and standard of right and Wrong…”  I would encourage you and everyone who reads this to talk to that judge, see what He would have you do, BEFORE the final judgement and sentencing occurs.  It may be that you are wailing against God’s choice;  “For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.”  Ephesians 6:12

    So we have to make choices as to who could best do this. Romney is timid and weak, Obama would beat him up.
    Santorum, I don’t believe, will be elected. Same with Ron Paul.
    What we have left is Newt Gingrich. He has shown he has the courage to stand up to controversy. He is very smart and can think on his feet. And I truly believe he loves America and will do what we need to get her in the right direction again. Gingrich has proven he can get things done in Washington.
    That’s my 2 cents…..

    Glenn you disappoint me. Your a drunk and always will be. Sux don’t it but I have you on tape saying it for years. Do I hold it against you for life? When do you forgive ? Sorry as a cristian Zionist conservative I don’t agree with you at all on this. It does seem like a vendetta. Do you recall telling the stories about being yelled at at public places by the elite establishment with your kids around? I do I can post them if you wish. Stop it Glenn or I will have list all credit in you from all the years and books from you. Watching daily everyday even the second running. This is why I won’t buy your show. Sorry I’m praying for you to open your eyes and heart and really look at who has the vest record for Reagan conservatives. God bless

    I guess that’s one way to put it.  I’ve read a few comments, though, that point out that we’re pretty much hosed if those are our options, regardless.  I’m inclined to agree, pointing out that I also don’t particularly support Romney.  The question we’re faced with is the same Hamlet was faced with.  To be, or not to be?  Do we roll with the punches, or do we go down swinging?  What this is really doing, though, is dividing the nation.  At least, it’s dividing those who can make a difference.  We all have to decide where we stand.  And we’ve got to hold together.  Otherwise we’ve not a snowball’s chance in…

    Well, I’m inclined to agree.  In the words of The Who:

    We’ll be fighting in the streets

    With our children at our feet

    And the morals that they worship will be gone

    And the men who spurred us on

    Sit in judgment of all wrong

    They decide and the shotgun sings the song

    I’ll tip my hat to the new constitution

    Take a bow for the new revolution

    Smile and grin at the change all around me

    Pick up my guitar and play

    Just like yesterday

    And I’ll get on my knees and pray

    We don’t get fooled again

    Don’t get fooled again

    Change it had to come

    We knew it all along

    We were liberated from the fall that’s all

    But the world looks just the same

    And history ain’t changed

    ‘Cause the banners, they all flown in the last war

    I’ll tip my hat to the new constitution

    Take a bow for the new revolution

    Smile and grin at the change all around me

    Pick up my guitar and play

    Just like yesterday

    And I’ll get on my knees and pray

    We don’t get fooled again

    Don’t get fooled again

    No, no!

    I’ll move myself and my family aside

    If we happen to be left half alive

    I’ll get all my papers and smile at the sky

    For I know that the hypnotized never lie

    Do ya?

    There’s nothing in the street

    Looks any different to me

    And the slogans are replaced, by-the-bye

    And the parting on the left

    Is now the parting on the right

    And the beards have all grown longer overnight

    I’ll tip my hat to the new constitution

    Take a bow for the new revolution

    Smile and grin at the change all around me

    Pick up my guitar and play

    Just like yesterday

    And I’ll get on my knees and pray

    We don’t get fooled again

    Don’t get fooled again

    No, no!

    I agree completely.  Thank you for your diligence, Glenn.  The only one who is still in the race who understands the founders position is Ron Paul.  He gets called a fanatic for it.

  • http://www.facebook.com/EmmJaa M.j. Martin

      You are playing sound bites where Newt expresses a snapshot of his views and call him on the fact that he did not enumerate the specifics.   You and I both know that when questioned he specifically said what it was he admired in FDR and Wilson. 

    I love you Glen, but you not being fair.  It is very unattractive to play, “Gotcha.”   Newt has plenty of  imprefections that you can nail him on, but his admiration for aspects of these presidents is not a deal breaker. 

    I believe Thomas Sowell may have said it best.  While Newt’s worst is far worse than Romney or Santorum, but Newt’s best is far, far better than either Romney or Santorum.  He went on to say, when you are playing in the super bowl, and you are about to run out of time, you don’t pick out a quarterback based on his ability to do damage control.  You pick quarterback based on his abiltiy to hit his target the most often.  Finally, Newt’s worst is never going to be as bad as Obama. 

    I don’t disagree that our nation is in need of moral growth, but that is where you come in. Yes, it would be better if Newt didn’t miss his mark on occassion, but think back, Mickey Mantel had more home runs than anyone of his day, but he also had more outs.  If you’re always swinging, you are going to miss some. 

  • robert snyder

    i respect Glen’s views, but he has me reeling with regard to Newt. I followed Newt from the 80′s , and he was demonized by a partisan press,and democratic house back then. Remember the Gov’t shutdown where They put him on the Time cover as” The Grinch”.  HIs support of the Individual mandate stemmed from sound insurance principals as the only way it could have a chance as being fiscally viable, not as a way to take over the entire healthcare system.  What Glen isnt saying is  that Progressivism is so institutionalized by law and Fed. agencies right down to our local homeowners assoc. that even if Glen was elected Prez. there isn’t much one man can change. We cant elect a cheerleader like Romney, we need a coach with a big bold new game plan like Newt

    I’ll vote for Newt here in Florida on the 31st.  Most of you are missing the point inasmuch as the person who has the most concern over “electability” is not any of our Conservative candidates but he who thinks himself an emperor – Obama.  Ergo, put the emphasis on the person who most deserves to be fired in total disgrace.  The very fact that the Republican Political Machine is dead set against Newt is an extremely positive point in favor of Newt.  I don’t want a president who is controlled by a machine.  As the former Speaker, Newt will be able to step right into the job without OJT.  He’s not going to be polished, he will have a demonstrative attitude at times and when needed he will be a  fighting SOB.  Wonderful.  To save America we do not have the time for a glad handing, “we’re all playing in the same band,”president.  Democrats (Socialists) and Conservatives are not wanting to live in the same America.  Finally, I’ll say it again:  Newt has been demonstrably contrite for his past sins, he has confessed, been forgiven and given absolution.  Folks, if that is good enough for God then it damn well better be good enough for the rest of us.

    Dear Mr. Beck: Are there ANY candidates running that you  strongly believe in and could do the job of running this country? I believe that every American should be studying and reading every thing about all the candidates and after much of this along with prayer, only then should one be prepared to vote in the upcoming election. That is what I am doing and will continue to do. As long as we humans are living on this earth, No one human is perfect and running this country will take a perfect person and like I said yesterday, that would be JESUS CHRIST himself and I don’t think he is going to come back to earth in the form of man again just to run a country where many have turned their backs on him! We as a nation must humble ourselves, pray and seek wisdom from God! Our lives and our nation is on the line here! Thank you for the privilege to post here! Blessings on your day!

    I think you are right about Newt Gingrich, totally right on. I feel though that in addition, Americans are not educated enough (at least those of us that went to public schools) to know the difference between a liberal progressive and a conservative progressive, to know why they should care about what you are saying. And, I am exposing myself here, I am a secondary teacher in training currently after receiving my own BA in History years ago (not saying from where). I didn’t even really know the difference and why progressivism is a bad thing for America. Just looked it up today on Wiki. If I may say, I don’t think most average Americans get it. I think you are wrong that Romney has lost favor because the people are on to his progressive/big gov. tendencies.Does the average voting American know what that big gov looks like? I think they are afraid of his Mormon religion. Far too many people don’t even bother to get correct information on that when it is so easy, it’s right on line! I think there is a fundamental failure on the part of the vast majority of Americans to educate themselves. Where knowledge is power, misinformation or lack of knowledge breeds fear and faulty decisions.Too many people are interested in merely being entertained and going on with their own lives to actually take the time to gather correct information and weigh it and analyze it and make a wise choice. There are people that believe the lies they are told simply because they are told them. Public schools are working really well at creating a public that cannot think critically and analyze data and facts and then follow through to the “make wise choices” part. This is why we are in the mess we are in financially, socially, everything-ly! We need education. I agree with you there for sure. I’m glad you are doing what you do. I don’t like it sometimes. I don’t like your tone and how you go on and on with things, but I need it. I need to hear what you are saying. I don’t know if the average American is going to listen to you, Mr Beck. You are too passionate and they fear passion. Maybe you need to sound more like Neil Conan from NPR.

    I know most will not agree with my comment but I have to get a final “two cents” in today.  My decision is not to decide who is right or wrong on the question of progressive vs conservative.  It seems we must stand by and let those who are capable and willing to express opinions in an actual vote as the primaries progress exercise their constitutional privilege .  When the primaries are over and a Republican candidate is chosen in the convention, lets get 100% behind the candidate, mouth and money, and go on to defeat Barach Obama in the general election.  Agreeing with Glenn or not doesn’t really matter in the long run.  He at least is vocal and has the capability of making all of us process mentally the pros and cons of the candidates before we exercise our primary vote.

    I don’t know how much worse Newt would be compared to Obama, but I see Newt as a fantastic speaker and what he is saying does sound very conservative.  Newt has a closet full of “clothes” but I’m not sure Mr. O could do much harm.  Newt speaks of smaller govt, getting rid of Obamacare, new tax reform.  He is pretty passive on the border though.  No one should be allowed to stay living in the US just because they beat breaking the law for 25 years.  They need to go back and get in line.   May God produce the man that can beat Obama and bring back our rights, liberties and freedom.

    I agree with the vast majority of what you wrote here.  I disagree with you that Ron Paul has proven himself to be a progressive from the evidence you cite.  I’m assuming that your facts are correct re pork.  This is how the political game is played to maintain job security in Congress and virtually all members of Congress play this game to one degree or another or they don’t get re-elected.

    You are quite correct concerning the importance of pursuing the truth.  The truth is that our entire political system has been taken over by the global elites and it is they who determine who our President will be: not the American people.  All of this election stuff is merely for show.  It is grand theatre designed to deceive the majority of Americans into believing that we still live in a constitutional federal republic.  We do not.  All that remains is a flimsy shell, but the substance of our founding fathers’ design has been completely gutted.  Every President since Woodrow Wilson has done the bidding of these global central banking elites and their allies who make up the membership of the CFR, the Bilderberg Group and other secret elite societies and organizations.

    In light of this truth, it appears to me that the outcome of the election is preordained and is not encouraging from a secular perspective.  From a biblical Christian perspective, the truth appears to signal that we are in the final days of the end times just before the Rapture and the Tribulation Period prior to the Second Coming of Jesus.  For those of us who are true followers of Jesus, this is both exciting and very sad at the same time.  It is exciting that we will soon be with Jesus and return to reign with Him in a New Heaven and New Earth later, fully redeemed from the effects of sin and wickedness that promises to exceed anything we can possibly imagine.  It is equally sad that the vast majority of humanity alive on the planet today is likely to be left behind in the Rapture to endure a horrific period of time on the earth.  God has predicted this time in world history for thousands of years in His Bible.  Every one of His over 300 prophesies that have been fulfilled have been fulfilled exactly as predicted.  So we have every reason to put our faith and trust in God’s Word and not put our faith in a corrupt and wicked world and American political and economic system ruled by Satan.  They shall all perish so that God might receive all the glory!

    Buckle your seat belts!  2012 promises to be a wild ride!

    I am a GBTV subscriber and huge fan of the entire team. I so much appreciate that when Glenn went on his “rant” a few days ago that he apologized in the next radio segment. I knew he was frustrated and it really took a man of character to apologize for getting so upset. So, I was still with him at that point. However, after his apology he said that he would put up yard signs for a third party if Gingrich were the nominee. I am with the guys that Santorum is the best choice. However, for Glenn to suggest he would rally a third party disappoints me. I understand his extreme concern for progressivism. However, we must get Obama out of there for the sake of us all. And if Gingrich is a progressive, do I still want his brand of progressivism in the White House 100 times more than Obama’s brand? The answer is yes. Im sorry, we have to act now. Hopefully Santorum will rise. But, if not, Glenn, please do not let your pride in your teachings on progressivism to make you do something foolish like backing a third party. Not this year anyway. It’s too late and we must have Obama gone. Please do not encourage a third party.

    I don’t lie anyhow. Yes, I do support Ron Paul because he is the only one of the 4 Republican candidates who does not appear to be a globalist puppet. Moreover, his books spell out a vision for America that makes immense common sense if you subscribe to returning to the rule of law, a literal and historical intent interpretation and enforcement of the US Constitution, and a restructuring of our foreign policy to get out of the business of perpetuating the British and Israeli Empire so that we no longer need to maintain a military larger than all other nations of the world combined.

I don’t get why Glenn is saying what he is except that he really believes it. However, we do have to select one of these guys knowing any of them are better than Obama.

    Why not point out that 564 delegates Santorum and Gingrich aren’t eligible for?

    Kind of makes it hard for him to win? He’s not even on the ballot in Virginia.

    It’s going to come down to Obama winning or Ron Paul. Why?

    Three elections so far clearly show:
    Youth vote clearly Ron Paul wins.
    Independent vote is clearly Paul’s.
    Crossover democrats – only for Paul.

    Toss in Paul supporters won’t vote for anyone but Paul since nobody but him is serious about fixing the economy, ending endless wars, fixing the tax code, etc.

    It will be a brokered convention.

    And Obama definitely doesn’t want to be up against Paul.

    I think your putting too much blame on us Christians.  All the ones I know did a whole lot of praying……My daughter was a campaign manager……  There were thousands of Christians involved.  We prayed and voted.  NOT for OBAMA!  BUT….  God is always in control! 

     It is up to us to continue to trust Him, even when things don’t go our way.   We must remember,  He shines on the just and the unjust,  and rains on the just and the unjust, He is not a respector of persons.  We must be comforted in knowing He has a perfect plan.

    Yes, as Christians we are called to pray for our government.   But we are also suppose to be watching and taking note of what is happening around us.  Everything that is taking place now is just what is leading up to the fullfilment of prophecy.  
    Where the Christian church has become complacent, is in the call to go out and tell the world about Jesus Christ crucified!  For the harvest is ripe, but the workers are few.  What should really cause us to get on fire for God is the thought of lost souls! 

    Yet, we continue to stay distracted from our calling by the enemy of our souls, while trying to fight for our land and our rights, rather than stay focused on the souls Christ died for.

    We are to continue to pray, never lose hope for our land, but we need to remain busy for God and watchful for The coming Glory!

    Let me try to set the record straight on the reprimand ONE MORE TIME.  When the IRS looked into the accusations raised against Newt it found that the donations to Gingrich’s charity were “consistent with its stated exempt purposes,” and Gingrich’s course and course book “were educational in content,” according to The Washington Post in 1999. Unfortunately, by then, Gingrich had left office, preferring retirement to a fight over leadership.  The only charge that remained had to do with inaccurate documents submitted by one of Newt’s attorneys.  The $300,000 was to cover the committee’s expenses related to this charge.  Hmmm?  That’s all a little different than Mitt and Glenn’s spin-story, isn’t it?  The reprimand was a politically motivated travesty of justice.

    And, as far as leaving office in disgrace, the mantra Mitt was parroting last night, Newt “graciously” departed to avoid possible leadership rumbles, either because he might be tempted to mix it up himself or because some of his fellows might try to draft him for a fight.  I’m sure the Speaker who followed Newt was appreciative that Newt departed, leaving him to take up the reins without feeling he had his predessor at his back looking for a place to put the knife.  It’s really just good form to exit after holding the top job.

    It’s weird, I support Newt because his RECORD reflects conservative values whereas Mitt’s record marks him as a liberally-moderate or moderately-liberal progressive — and a lier to boot.  I won’t have him. 

    I like Rick but Rick isn’t getting any traction.  He just doesn’t have the gravitas to make it to the nomination.  He needs seasoning.  A little salt and pepper will probably help.  He should run again in 2020.

    Instead of griping about Newt, get him to commit to putting your dream, conservative agenda into his new contract.  If you convince him it’s a good idea, he’ll fight for it.

    Glenn’s interview was an ambush followed by filling Newt’s back full of arrows, which to me means ratings ploy.  I don’t think Newt is lying about his agenda, and it’s a well thought out conservative plan to return power to the states.  If all he does is get an optional flat tax and repeal Ovomitcare we’ll be better off, but based on his efforts in ’94, we’ll get rid of the EPA and close the border as well.  Besides, he will trounce Ovomit in the general, b/c Ovomit has 3 years of complete anti-American failure.

    I see it coming now. Start praising NEWT little by little to take some heat off.

    Call him PROGRESSIVE lite. (getting despersate now are we? but can’t admit a mistake)

    Well, you DUFUSES at GBTV, I suggested a long time ago there were different levels of progressivISM and you were total idiots to make and compare NEWT to “the one” OBUMMER.

    Newt      is PROG Level 1  (maybe Rick S and Rick P)
    Romney is PROG Level 2 or 3 ? ( I think he will say and do anything to get elected)
                                                   ( He flip-flopped in aa debate last night!)

    McCain  is PROG Level 5 ( votes progressive to get his military, big GOV ! )

    OBAME is PROG level 9  (duh)

    MAD COW is PROG Level 10 (biggest POS PROG in media? who knows)
    (so is almost all of MSLDS, Sgt Shultz, Chrissys, Not so Sharp AL, Etc)

    BECKY, you have no shame, and should be ashamed of yourself.

    Sorry so many people have dropped of GBTV, are we down below 200k users yet?

    Stop smearing good people and YOUR fans, and you may be able to hang on for a whiile, but who knows with an EGO like yours.

    YOUR Chicken SH#T tactics to demonize people (and Grandpa)  to prove you theories is very DUMB !!!!

    Maybe you should listen to Levin, Rush or Sean to get some SNAP and put down the CRACK PIPE why don’t ya !

    NEWT is not GOD to me, but he is not a PROG MONSTER.  GEEZZZZ !!!

    You have said it all. I’m afraid that no matter what any Republican candidate does including spitting gold coins while standing on his head, the leftist media will be there to follow the Alinsky playbook. I sure hope that Americans start getting smarter and more knowledgable because about what is really going on with the Obama agenda and vote for anyone but him. What I see as far as peoples’ choices are quite frightening. People just don’t try to learn about history and how it repeats itself and what the leftist propaganda machine is doing. Some people don’t have a clue and some of them are Republicans; not only Dems/Libs. I’m really, really concerned but I am doing everything I can to volunteer and support conservatives in getting Obama out of the WH and the Libs out of the Senate.

  • G Crompton

    People need to wake up! This election is about one thing and only one thing – Getting rid of Obumma. Ask yourself: who is the best GOP candidate currently running that can beat him. Several respectable pundits are saying that Newty is very polarizing and may not get enough of the spineless “independents” needed to put him in the White House. While the conservative “base” may love him, the base isn’t big enough to help him win.

    No it’s not. It’s entirely accurate and reported in the public press. America’s national interests are not served by funneling half of our foreign aid money to Israel every year. What’s driving this is a very aggressive “jewish” money machine here in America and the global “jewish” elite conspiracy that actually disctates american foreign and military policy.

    I’m not sure what you mean by isolationism, nor am I certain that you do. Ron Paul is questioning America’s need for 900 military bases in 130 countries around the world, so we are already functioning in the role of global policeman on the backs of the American taxpayer and incurring an annual deficit of $1.5 trillion on $3.6 trillion of spending that anyone knows is absurd.

    Israel and the “jewish” owned and controlled press that pumps out saber-rattling propagada concerning Iran’s nuclear weapons ambitions is clearly directed at fomenting popular support for America or Israel striking at Iran and launching WWIII which the global elites have planned for over a century to pit Muslim and Christian nations to go to war and kill each other while the “jewish” elites sit back and watch the carnage and pick up the pieces which are left. It turns out that Iran’s President has been telling the truth that the Nazi Holocaust never happened. Instead, it has been a bold and immensely profitable hoax perpetrated on the world to shield the Bolshevik communist “jews” who led the slaughter of in excess of 60 million Russian peasants, most of them white Christians, under Lenin and Stalin, as well as to deny the ethnic cleansing of 800,000 Palestinians in 1947 and 1948 in the new state of Israel.

    My sources are “A Greater “Miracle” Than the Lost Tribes Discovered… – the Dead “Six Million” Uncovered…!” by Brian Alois Clerabat, 2007 and “The Ethnic Cleansing of Palestine,” by Israeli author Ilan Pappe, 2010.

    As the first of these two books writes, “Telling the truth is not hate. Rather it is hate when violence or persecution is perpetrated against those who reveal the truth. Exposing the crimes of criminals is neither hate nor “Anti-Semitism” nor “Racism:” it is the first step toward JUSTICE. If criminals don’t like being called criminals – then let them stop committing crimes. If such people are not themselves guilty of crimes, let them dissociate and distance themselves from those of their own people who are guilty of such crimes – and not attack those who seek the truth and justice. Every tree is known by its fruit. (Luke 6:44) – you don’t blame corrupt fruit on the person who picked it.”

    Yet this has been precisely the strategy employed by the ADL and other aggressive defamation squads to suppress the truth and intimidate and defame anyone bold enough to suggest that the “jewish” people are or have been guilty of any crimes or seditious behaviors in the past. The facts of history shows an overwhelming and compelling pattern of actions over the past 200 years and prior that all major wars, inflations and economic collapses have been directly orchestrated by a small group of “jewish” elites and their Freemason allies designed to undermine western civilization and usher in a global New World Order that they control. The common link is their Ashkenazi race and their adherence to the teachings of the “jewish” Talmud and Caballa which are grounded in hateful, racist, anti-”jewish” bigotry, the worst of which is dfirected at white Christians and in the secret worship of Satan (Lucifer or the “light-bearer”) as their true God. The whole New Age movement and modern day pracitces of the occult and witchcraft olur founded on the “jewish” Cabala and this is what guides the global elites’ New World Order agenda in the final analysis.

    Attempting to silence this truth is evil and wicked. Do your own research. If you’re honest, you will discover that everything I report here is true. I didn’t believe it at first either; nor did I want to. But the evidence for it is compelling and overwhelming if you care to go look. The elites are counting on you not to.

    I agree with you wholeheartedly. It’s all about getting Obummer out of the WH. Newt is very bright and has lots of experience but I agree he is polarizing (of course not as much as Obama is), but I don’t believe he can win Independents either which is a large group of voters who are on the fence. Who do you think should be the ONE?

  • G Crompton

    I agree with you on Ron Paul, but not Newty. Paul would NEVER win a general election against Obumma. I realize he has a very strong Cult following, but the biggest problem he has is his views on the use of the military, or lack thereof. It is downright scary, especially when Iran could have a nuke ready to go at any time. Plus, even Paul himself says he doesn’t expect to win!

    Thank you Glen, since you have been off Fox, I have forgotten how much of your talking points seems to come out of my head.  I agree with you totally on Newt, I recently commented that the only difference between Newt and BHO is the color of their skin.  I truly believe if Newt is the Republican nominee, it is a guarantee for Obama’s reelection.

     Dear Glenn, To reiterate…… I have listened and read with interest, the exchange you had with the Gingrich supporter — quite astounding !  Now I will probably surprise you too.  I, too, have read most of your books and I, too agree with most — but not all — of your premises.  Mr. Gingrich is not the answer to our problems.  He is sharp, he is fascinating to the point of being entertaining –  but he is old hat – passe.  He is a hot head who frankly can not control himself. When he is behind in the polls, he seems rational, but he becomes totally egotistical & irrational almost down right nasty when he is in the lead.  If he becomes the Republican Candidate,he will divide this country – he will ensure another 4 years of Obama– I am afraid  Lets face it, no matter what Mr. Gingrich says, he is one of Washington’s greatest insiders of our time – who is he kidding ?  Let’s call it like we see it ! I am supporting Mr. Romney for the Republican nomination and most certainly for President of the USA.  Why ?  Mr. Romney is intelligent, he knows what it is to work for a livng, he’s had to make tough decisions, he’s had his successes & failures from which to learn, he’s been a Governor (can’t run a deficit government) , he’s not flamboyant – in fact some say he’s dull – (isn’t that nice !), he gets along with people, he works hard, and on a personal level, he has a lovely family – no problems there either – pretty dull stuff.  Some folks say he is totally void of charisma — Well, I ask you America, haven’t you had just about enough charisma over the past 4 years to last you a lifetime ?  I know I have !.   We need a straight arrow, a fixer.  One who will spend his time in the Oval Office to put this country back on the road to prosperity.  One who represents this country proudly — and does not conduct  “apology tours”. We do not want or need a president who spends his time on the golf course and who is frankly just having too good of a time to take our problems and issues seriously. In my opinion, Mitt Romney is the person to fill this bill. He will open up new markets for the US, open up domestic avenues for energy to make us more self sufficient, he will ensure a strong military and just as or even more important, he will restore personal confidence, pride of country and a renewed vigor once more in the American people and that in turn will restore prosperity to the USA. I rest my case ! Regards,  Jan”Hopeful On Long Island”

    eporsche, I feel its a toss up between Romney and Santorum. I like Rick more, but Mitt seems to have more people willing to vote for him (even if they’re bothered by the Mormon thing, which should not matter AT ALL!!!). I like the fact that Mitt has experience in both the private and public sectors, which the USA desperately needs at this time. I’d happily vote for either one, but I think Mitt gets more “independent” votes. Vote Mitt in 2012, then hope a very electable, more conservative candidate emerges for 2016. Obumma will screw the USA so much if he gets another term and it would take decades to undo the damage.

    Jan, I really like your post and hope to God that there are more people (silent majority) who think like we do. Mitt is not perfect, but he is the best chance we have to defeat the Donkeys. If Obumma gets 2 more SCOTUS appointments (among other things), this country will be screwed up for decades. Hopefully the shaky economy will be enough to doom him, but we need to have people voting FOR Mitt rather than voting against BO.

    Newt had 84 ethics violations? No, he was accused of 84 ethics violations by Democrats desperate to get rid of him. All but one of the accusations were eventually dropped. Regarding the undropped accusation: “The case primarily involved a course at Kennesaw State College that
    Gingrich taught while in Congress. The organizers of the course
    solicited financial support from “individuals, corporations and
    foundations,” promising that the project qualified for tax-exempt
    status. But the ethics committee concluded that the course was “actually
    a coordinated effort” to “help in achieving a partisan, political goal”
    — something that would run afoul of its tax exempt status. A further
    problem for Gingrich was that during the investigation, he submitted
    letters from his lawyers for which “the subcommittee was unable to find
    any factual basis.” Gingrich “should have known” that the information in
    the letters “was inaccurate, incomplete, and unreliable.”" — http://www.dailypaul.com/207820/gingrich-ethics-violations-what-exactly-where-they

    83 of those supposed violations were dropped.  The IRS, no less, totally exonerated Newt.  The only charge left arose during the investigation when one of Newt’s attorneys made a mistake regarding some documentation.  The $300,000 was to pay for the committee’s costs associated with investigating that particular charge.  Of course, the official IRS finding came too late to save Newt from the travesty of the reprimand vote.  You may not be letting your emotions rule you but your research stinks.  Check out Newt.org for answers.  If you have a problem with them, let’s hear about it.  I’m getting tired of catching the same pop-flies from Newt’s opposition.  Why don’t you come back with something new?

    Newt lacks commitment and attention to detail as evidenced by his lack of effort to get on the Virginia Primary ballot. If he can not garner support from a few people in Virginia counties to get his name on the ballot, what makes you think he can possibly garner the support needed to win the nomination. I don’t want obama but I don’t want a President that can miss these types of details either. And by the way, based on some in-depth conversations with supporters, the belief is that Paul has a very passionate young following primarily because he wants to legalize pot. I’m not sure how accurate that is but I have personally heard him say two very disturbing things, first he said that NOTHING we have done militarily overseas has made Americans safer and in a debate he said that employers should NOT be punished in any way for hiring illegals.

    Paul’s views are generally attributed to those of non-interventionism, which is the belief that the United States should avoid entangling alliances with other nations, but still retain diplomacy, and avoid all wars not related to direct territorial self-defense.[*citation needed
    *] Paul is quoted as stating “America [should] not interfere militarily, financially, or covertly in the internal affairs of other nations”, while advocating “open trade, travel, communication, and diplomacy with other nations”.[204] Ronald
    Reagan spoke in support of Paul’s foreign policy views in the early 1980s, stating “Ron Paul is one of the outstanding leaders fighting for a stronger national defense. As a former Air Force officer, he knows well the needs of our armed forces, and he always puts them first. We need to keep him fighting for our country.”[ 205] Daniel
    Ellsberg , famous for releasing the Pentagon Papers , has said of Paul in 2010: “On foreign policy, on the Constitution, on Homeland Security, on intervention, he speaks very well.”[206]Ohio Democratic Congressman Dennis

    – ‘The case primarily involved a course at Kennesaw State College that Gingrich taught while in Congress.

    It would seem that the charge was in an extremely gray area and only a highly partisan bunch, out to get Newt, would have found it to have been an ethics violation. For Romney to treat their the episode as proof of Gingrich moral turpitude is remarkable.I would post the URL of the site, but last time a did that my comment disappeared.

    I can’t believe so many people don’t care about the fact that Newt Gindrich is a liar, a cheat, he is dishonest and has no integrity. He has proven that in both his personal life and his professional life.  We need a man as President of the United States that is Honest, truthfull, has integrity and has the knowledge we need to change  the progressive agenda Obama has been pushing.  Mitt Romney is that man. If people would check his life out closley, they would see he is pretty squeeky clean, he is a good man. He is exactly what we need.

    Hi Keith, you’re right, on the decentcy meter, he is a 10.  I’ll even give this flip flop the benefit of the doubt and say if you reach his present age without changing your views/ values of a 30-40 year old, you’re probably stupid. 

    However, just like it wouldn’t be wise to sent Mother Teresa out to do battle with Attila the Hun, you don’t send someone who simply cannot stoop to Chicago syle thuggary to beat Obama.  Moreover, why would you sacrifice Mother Teresa if you have a worrier, who thrives on conflict ready to do battle.  If at the end of four years, we don’t have to keep him, but right now, we need someone whose tough as nails. 

    Also, consider the fact that when someone considers themselves to be independent, that does not mean they are leftist.  That means they want to stand back and determine exactly what type of weapon will be required to serve our country’s needs.  These people are as fed up with Obama as the Tea Party. 

    However, I think you have to agree, Santorum and Romney simply don’t have the political savvy to come out in the type of fight that will be required to win. It is going to get ugly.  Think about it.

    Glenn, my feelings against Barack Obama and big shot politicians are very personal.  I think your saying that it isn’t personal when you talk about them is not fully truthful.  This is the first time in my life time that I had such animosity towards those who would destroy America.  From your FOX  show I had gotten the same was true with you.  Now I am not so sure.   I am sick and tired of the idolizing of Hollywood, radio, or television stars.  All are regular human beings with a propensity for multiple mistakes.  They are shoved down our throats all the time.  At least Newt was willing to speak for the little people.  We are tired of being told what to think.  I thought I would throw up today listening to Shephard Smith talk about the great dinner at the White House.  Ordinary people don’t know what Sea Bass is to eat.  What’s wrong with serving what the masses have to eat…say catfish?  Everyone on the low end of the stick can see what is coming.  Obama isn’ the only idiot starting a class war.  All of you great teachers are!!  I am so tired of all of the lies and hidden agendas.

    whiteir_disqus:  Your comments aren’t backed up by facts, Romney is far more conservative than Gindrich, Beck’s comments about Gindrich are factual. Romney is not a liar, tell me what you think he has lied aobut, he is not a liar. Gindrich isn’t that great a debator, his is just someone who knows how to play up to the audience, that is why he was complaining that the audience didn’t get to cheer in last nights debate and because of that he didn’t do that good. There won’t be very many debates in the Presidential process, 2 or 3 and that is all. Gindrich has way too many skelitons in his closet.  The only thing Romney is guilty of is working hard and showing that the American way of free enterprise and Capitalism works and anyone can be succesful, he can make that available to all Americans. Romney has been far more successfull than Gindrich, check the facts. Obama wants to fundamentally change America, Romney wants to return America to being great and following the constitution.

    DavidG…As to your post that Ron Paul has accomplished nothing.  It is far more important to have done the right thing in life, than to accomplish something that is wrong.  Congress has accomplished many, many acts that were wrong.  This congress has the lowest approval rating of any congress in history.  So, most of us feel they are accomplishing some thing that is wrong.  I am voting for Ron Paul.  He is the only honest one of the bunch.

    Ron Paul
    sits back, says nothing, votes no and campaigns in an effort to build a
    constituency.   This tactic is consistent with his
    recommendations on foreign policy.  You
    make friends, but work from the sidelines. 

    The charges against
    Newt were dismissed, but they achieved their purpose because Newt was silenced and
    the drudges of Congress lived to fight another day.  How many of those turn coats are still
    there? 

    With all
    that Obama has done, if charges were brought, can you honestly believe he would
    be found innocent of every charge.  I
    think not.  Don’t drink the cool aid.

    Newt’s
    problem is he does not give a flip about political correctness or the upper

    How many “faiths” will be represented there?! Unfortunatly many.    But unless ALL have  repented and confessed that Jesus Christ is their savior, the gates will be as far as they get.  Jesus said No one gets to the Father except through Me!   LUCK, my friend has nothing to do with getting into Heaven.  You need to BELIEVE in JESUS as YOUR personnal SAVIOR!  
    As far as your prayers go tonight,.. His word says the first prayer He hears is the prayer of repentence and acceptence of His Son.  Then, and only then, all other prayers are heard when prayed in His name, Jesus Christ.  This is not I that says this but the Lord.

    Hi Folks,
     
    I guess we’re all watching the “thespian-in-chief” tonight.  When is he going to stop the fairy tale about what caused the housing crisis ?  Sure the rank & file financial system contributed to it, but it started in Washington – I know – I spent 35 years on Wall Street – beginning when it was difficult to get a mortgage (I know – my first mortgage was @ 11% rate fixed for 30 yrs. with a 20% cash down payment – and I worked for a bank !)  So what happened ? 
     
    FDR wanted a checken in every pot — our Congress wanted wanted a house in every portfolio and a car in every garage no matter the ability to pay == certainly it’s much more complicated than that, but that, my friend is where it began.  The politicians just had to tinker with the most pristine of lending / borrowing vehicles in US history – the home mortgage.  When you had lending & borrowing rules /regs around the home mortgage, yes, these loans were bundled into “securities” and sold to secondary investors and were always rated AAA by the rating agencies mainly due to the strict lending codes.  However, once Confgress got into the act, and the lending parameters deteriored, the quality of the “security” for end investors also deteriorated unbeknowst to them.  The rating agencies failed – It has always been a mystery to me that the rating agencies were never called to task for rating an issue AAA when the underlying transactions – loans were clearly subprime.  Then of couse the mortgage lending market was opened up to brokers – no longer just your local bank.  So, tell me, why should anyone be surprised that the bottom fell out ?
     
    The once, pristine, AAA market, of US Mortgages was doomed, forced to open up the housing market to people who could not afford to own a home, therefore introducing poor lending practices by institutions that had no business being in the business.OK, I could go on, because there is more to it than this — but you get my drift.  No, Wall Street is not totally innocent, but clearly there is plently of room for blame to go around. 
     
    Oh, and while we are on the subject, the Dodd-Frank Bill does not introduce anything new.  These regs are for the most part already on the books – they just need to be ENFORCED !
     
    Sorry – I just got to this point in Mr. Obama’s speech –
     but this class warfare nonsense has just got to stop ! 
     
    Again, I still believe Mr. Romney is the best bet and the hope of the country both domestically & internationally going forward.  Sorry If I digressed too much on the financial issue –
     
    Best regards,  Jan

    So you never lied or did nothing wrong ? Your perfect ? You forgive Glenn for being a drunk and deadbeat in his early life. So you are a sheep in a fence bursts up depending on Glenn your master to inform you. Read an article he turned me on to about the media herding the masses and controlling them. Lol. He’s doing what he preached so against on fox it’s sad. I think it’s called the herding of something. The propaganda guy who’s uncle was the famous shrink. He sold propaganda to all about anything. Well Glenn has a bunch of sheeple worshiping at his house. With all the stories I read or see with Glenn I notice how he’s doing exactly what he preached against fir years.

    We all know Ron Paul is the real solution to our problems, but the guy is too whiny.  If he debated in a more secure and more masculine character more people would pay attention to him.  I wish the GOP would stop criticizing him about his foreign policy.

    Oscleal– that is the problem with Newt. He will mop the floor with Obama and come off like a mean-spirited, angry man which people will not like and that may make people feel sorry for Obama and re-elect him. Newt has too much of an angry and uncontrolled side to him. What he says could likely backfire on him and that would mean Obama wins and that would be DISASTER!

    Newt did NOT have 84 ethics violations – the democrats were so threatened by him and were so sick of him getting in the way of their agenda as speaker that it took them 84 ATTEMPTS before they finally found 1 stupid thing – they charged him and if you ask me it was just a pacifier to get the (D) babies to stop their flippin crying.  Get your facts straight before you start running amuck in the mouth or fingers - main stream media does it enough for all of us – lets start setting the records STRAIGHT  so we can all move forward.

    ” Toffler
    believes mankind is entering a new system. To the founding fathers in
    his book, he wrote, “For the system of government you fashioned including
    the very principles on which you based it, is increasingly obsolete, and
    hence increasingly, if inadvertently, oppressive and dangerous to our
    welfare. It must be radically changed and a new system of government invented,
    a democracy for the 21st century. For this wisdom, above all, I thank
    Mr. Jefferson who helped create the system that served us so well for
    so long, and that now must, in its turn, die and be replaced.” ”

    The best candidate we had was Michelle Bachmann. Remember how the public reacted when the male candidate crossed the stage to hand Hillary a sheet of paper? The dems would have had to go easier on her to avoid that type of image. I forgot who he was that was running against her but it seems in this weird world of ours it is still un-cool to be aggressive with a female candidate. She was an insider and that is true but she knew the in’s and out’s of Washington and honors the Constitution of the United States. After her the only one with the light on and somebody’s home is Rick Santorum but I fear he is too much of a gentleman to deal with obamas methods. It’s a sad day for America right now and I pray things turn around before its too late. Glenn is right about Newt, he is as progressive as they come and almost as much of a nightmare as McCain. His mistake was to muzzle Sarah! He should have given her free reign! I think Santorum and Bachmann would be a great ticket!

    ElPzee you’ve got it completely wrong.  Newt is the most likely candidate to lose to Obama and the media knows that.  People are confident about his being able to win because the media hasn’t let loose the arsenal of factual historical information about Newt that reveals he is a Progressive just like Obama is a Progressive. 
    He just isn’t much different than Obama and the media knows that.  That is why noone from the Democrat side or media side is attacking Newt.  They know he is lying and they want him to be the GOP’s choice because when you put Obama & Newt side by side there isn’t a whole lot of difference and they think they can beat that.  But when you put a staunch conservative next to Obama the difference is glaring.  The polls show people want the values of a conservative!  That is why they have systematically eliminated all the real conservatives in this race.  Santorum is the lone survivor and he will make it if people vote based on who is and what he stands for.   If you want to see a landslide get Santorum in there.  But if people have to choose between endorsing Newt or Obama???  who knows?  The only thing the polls tell me is people are afraid.  They want a victory but what does a Gingrich victory get them?  A victory at the polls and epic failure as a country.  Newt is doing the same thing to America that Obama did last election. He isn’t who he is says he is.  It is all lies, lies and more lies, just to get into office.  And if he has to lie to get into office and he doesn’t feel bad about doing it then what will he do as President?  Look what Obama did.  I am not voting based on fear.  I am voting based on who is the real conservative in this race.  And character matters in so much as I want to know they are who they say they are because when they are sitting with the power I want to know they share my values.

    teddyb, problem is, Newt, like GWB as a candidate, is only imitating Ron Paul. Ron has been saying we should get rid of DOE & other burroacracies for years, not months.

    GWB ran on some of Ron’s platform. Smaller govt, humbler foreign policy, lower spending…how’d that work out? 0 the lied as well.

    MAYBE Newt is really a new man. BUT!!! That ‘maybe’ is not worth gambling the nation on. You must look up Gingrich’s record. I left a lot of it in links in an above post.

    Newt does NOT have a conservative record that can back him up. His few conservative ‘good points’ are heavily out weighed by his liberal progressive work.

    Ron Paul does have the back up. He has been doing & saying the same things for some 30 years.

    Keith,

    I frankly very much agree with you — Mr. Gingrich has had his day — his families, his number of wives, his problems etc.  To tell the truth, while I actually lke the man and I respect his intellect, he is not presidential material, in my opinion.  When I was in college, I would have loved to have had him as a history professor and today, I would even go so far as to say I would vote for him as a Representative or Senator (ie; the legislative branch of govt ) in Washington.  However, I draw the line at the Executive Branch of the government.  As I have stated before, he is definately not what this country needs or wants and frankly I believe the country will take the chance of voting in Mr. Obama again to the executive branch with the hopes of trying to contol him through the Congress - legislative branch. It’s surely a gamble, but it is rather along the lines of going with the “devil you know…”.

    Mr. Romney, in my opinion, as I’ve stated before, is the most likely Republican candidate to defeat Mr. Obama – even Ms. Coulter recognizes this fact.  Let’s be honest, if you find an “electable candidate” that you agree with 75 + % of the time—- that’s pretty darn good.  You should seize the moment and go with that person.  As opposed to someone you agree with 98% of the time, will give you a very entertaining debate, but has little chance of beating the incumbant.  The choice is pretty easy to my mind.  Remember, the presidency is only 1 of the 3 branches of our government.  Mr. Obama, however, seems to be hellbent on circumventing the 2nd or legislative branch whereever and whenever he can — that my friend is a very big difference.

    Please think carefully and weigh the pros & cons of each candidate.  There is much at stake here.

    Best regards,  Jan

He made a couple of bad votes while in office but sometimes the leaders put enough pressure on them to force a vote one way or another.

    You don’t have to like Newt…or plan to sit around and have a beer with him. If he can do the job, that’s all that matters. Do you want your best friend to be your parent? Or do you want someone who has your best interests at heart to be your parent? Same thing here with politics. Obama is touted as a likeable, charismatic guy. But he can’t, won’t, hasn’t done the job. So forget about whether you like Newt or Mitt or Rick or Ron. Have any of them convinced you they can do the job when you look at their records? At least we have their records to look at.

    Yeah, because all the things our government has done doesn’t deserve any backlash. Propping up dictators, having military bases around the world, bombing people at will and invading thier countries couldn’t possibly have any effect. This is the exact thinking that got us into this mess in the first place. You expect everyone else to take responsibility for the things they do, but our government has done a LOT of things that they and us, as citizens don’t have to take responsibility for. Ron paul IS the most conservative in the race. He realizes that we live in a free country (for the moment) and others have a right to believe as they will. People like you think you have a right to shove your beliefs down everyone’s throat, well, you do not. Santorum thinks the same way. Santorum also supports NAFTA, the biggest American job killing bill that exists.

    Glenn has been aiming his guns against everyone but Romney – the one who actually signed restrictive gun laws and mandated health insurance (and they sure as heck didn’t launch massive protests back then with all the socialism charges like they threw at Obama).  Frankly, I think your allegiance to the Mormon church and belief in the White Horse prophecy is why you’re doing everything you can – except come out with a direct endorsement  – to take out all of Romney’s rivals so he’s the last man standing.   I believe Romney  will buy this election as he can, and every single one of Glenn Beck’s followers will vote for him – even if they’re holding their noses the whole time.

    Glenn, you are 100% right.  And if Obama gets reelected it is no ones fault but the failure of the Republicans that cannot seem to put up a real challenger.  I am just amazed how Ron Paul DOES without backing down everything that the Republican party stands for, and more, yes some that the Republicans don’t like, but he is more the Republican stance than any of the rest, yet that cannot even understand that he does not want to commit war, without Congress, just like the Constitution says.   I am so DONE, I will never vote for the lesser of two evils again, and if that means I have to vote for a third party candidate, at lease I can look myself in the mirror with pride for my convictions.  Everybody wants change, hence we got Obama, well change takes the courage to vote for the right candidate, not the one that you just think can beat the other one you don’t like.  I do not want any progressive, not Mitt, not Newt.  Ron Paul is the ideal, and I cannot speak well enough yet about Santorum.

    Its time to de-complicate this whole mess with clear understanding. The battle is between the spirit of man against the spirit of God Almighty. Obama has proven to be a spirit of man leader again in his speach tonight. The same as communists or socialists that believe that by a strong ego leader that is so convinced and unshakable in himself and his own ideas, even if the nation is turned into a large ash heap of hell, as socialist ego leader Adolf Hitler did to the powerful nation of Germany in the 1940s, He will not back down until America is reduced to a ash heap.
    The leader with a spirit of God will bring back the pricipals that this nation was born into.
    To give the freedom for all to grow and become unlimited in prosperity of all kinds not just financial.
    A good example of the Glory of Americas freedom is the Joy a good football game still brings.
    Why because it is still truth live on the feild, no one knows who will be the final Victor, but if you had a government that put federal money into the presidents favorite team because he thought they needed his help to compete, it would destoy the great truth and excitment of the game.

    Watchman, how does the parable of the wheat & tares fit into your PTR?
    Matthew 13 start at v 24.

    Especially the way Jesus defines who is taken & is not in verses 37-43. What does “…grow together untill the harvest..” mean & who gets pulled out 1st.

    The time frame is given by the Lord in verse 39 as “The harvest is the close and consummation of the age,…”. Which is when the end comes.

     Also see a companion set of verses in Hebrews 12:26-28 

    How does Revelation 13:10  Revelation 14:11-13  fit? If you check Strong’s Concordance for the NT word ‘saints’ you will see that there is only one original language meaning for ‘saints’ in the whole NT. There is NO indication of modifiers that lead to ‘tribulation saints’ in the Book Of The Revelation or any where in the NT.

    Jesus Himself said “he that endures to the end”. Matthew 10:22 Matthew 24:13  Mark 13:13  The PTR is not the ‘end’.

    Yeshua told Martha the resurrection would be at the last day. He repeated this a few times. John 6:40  John 6:44  John 6:54  John 12:48 
    1 Corinthians 10:13 This verse is the only NT definition for ‘escape. Father will help His children, Colossians 3:12
    There are no verses that would lead one to believe, on their face, that Jesus is coming 2 more times that equal only one advent. That stuff started in the US in about 1935, there about. The teaching was brought from Scotland by John Darby & spread in the Schofield Reference Bible.
    The new to the church teaching was based on a vision by a lady, Margaret McDonald, who’d had a vision & Darby worked it up from there. It was not taken from the scriptures. The scriptures were interpreted, using Eisegesis,  to say He was coming 2 more times. There is no possible way to say there are 2 more comings of Yeshua Messiah using Exegesis.
    What is “Exegesis” vs. “Eisegesis”?

    [from https://gotquestions.org/support.html ]

    You cannot show one verse that backs up the PTR without saying ‘thus we must conclude’ or other Eisegesis based terms. In ohter words, the teaching is not taken FROM verses, it is superimposed ONTO them.

    I have been studying this subject a while. Nevertheless we don’t need a rapture, we need a strong relationship with the Holy Spirit, Yeshua & Father based on a strong knowledge of the Bible.
     Then it
    will not matter if you are right & I am wrong or vice versa. We will
    be ready for what ever happens.

    I have my dream ticket (which does not include any one of these guys) but you have actually put the perspective on this better than I’ve read yet.  And I’ve read a lot!!  I still feel like an election orphan..but I really appreciate your interpretation of these two men.

    I have been watching Glenn Beck over 2 years now.  I became his best admirer.  I could depend on him to tell us what was really going on in congress and with the president etc.  Now, we had someone to tells us the truth, this opened a whole new world to americans.  The computer, vidio pictures, fox news, all these things give us back control on congress and the president. People like Brightbart and Glenn looked “behind thescreen” to tell us information.  I felt this was going to change things.  We can see past, present and future speeches, with a rerun of a vidio, lies become facts we can see!!!!  What happened to that Glenn?  I know from you about how we must be friends with Isreal ect.  I agree!  I know from you that God is important in and for America—God is in my life alwaysl   But why aren’t you keeping us informed about how the house has pasted over 12 bills that are laying on the Senate floor (not brought to a vote) because Harry Reed will not bring them to a vote. How come President Obama is running the house and senate when that is not according to the constitution!  Why aren’t you informing us the cost to tax payers every time the president and family go any where, especially when he goes to give speeches at $35000 a plate!  Why do you not keep us in formed about facts about our congress men and women like Senator Scott Brown denying he was a Tea party candidat(they helped him get elected) yet all of his votes have been for the democrates and Obama!  These are just a few thing the old Glenn would be keeping us up to date on. I feel you have a right to tell us facts  about the republican cadidates but tell us and let us be the judge!  Please keep in mind you said Obama must be repaced—we get that, but please go back to keeping us informed about the things that really matter so we can be in charge of our government  etc.  By turning the light on to goverment secrets and corruption we, the american people can make informed judgement and change.  Please go back to the old Glenn Beck sincerely Cheryl C, Fl.

    I couldn’t agree more with EIPzee. I stopped listening to Beck some time back. He is not alone in pretending to be a “conservative” and an Obama reject-or.,but every word out of the likes of Beck,Rush Limbaugh, Mark Steyn, Hannity, et al, is uttered in order to destroy the Republican candidates who are not “PERFECT” by their egotistical standards. After the last three Presidential campaigns, I am convinced that these pretenders are really Democrat “Moles”, whose only mission is to get democrats elected. 
      What I get a laugh at are the call in listeners who “suck up” to the talk show hosts and try to outdo them in blasting Republican candidates. I would classify the women callers as being among the worst.  ”Rush, I love you, you are my first thought in the morning and my last thought at night.” One guy called in and his opening line was, “Rush, you are my “god”. 
       It’s obvious that these people take five minutes to watch CNN and three hours of Rush and think that they know politics cold. Of course, “Snerdly” , under orders by Rush, chooses to 
    put them on the air.

    Sam, I oncur with your conclusion: we need a strong personal relationship with Jesus the son, God the Father and the Holy Spirit in which we are fully submitted and surrendered to Jesus as our Lord, King and Master in everything. Beyond that, I am still studying and still learning concerning end times prophecy and in no way claim that I am a theological expert, but I’m a very thorough and committed student. So having said that, permit me to try to answer your questions.

    I believe Jesus was explaining that the parable of the wheat and the tares explains how true Christians and those practicing false religion can look much the same and even be members of the same church, at least for a while. Then in Matthew 24:40-41 Jesus explains that in the catching up or Rapture, two people will be side by side and one will be taken and the other left behind. So the way I understand it, there will be a sorting process at the Rapture in which the frauds will be left behind and eventually be tossed into hell and finally hell will be thrown into the lake of fire after the Millennium. The timing of being tossed into hell is not necessarily prior to the PTR the way Scripture reads.

    As to Hebrews 12:26-28, my footnote to those verses explains that the unshakable kingdom which will remain is the kingdom of God; all else will crumble and be destroyed. So we ought to build our lives on the solid foundation of the love of God, Jesus and His Holy Word and not get distracted by the stuff that will crumble.

    Revelation 7 describes those who are to be raptured (I don’t understand the 144,000 to be a literal number but a very large and complete one: 12 X 12 X 1000). John writes the story chronologically, so by Rev. 13 & 14, John is referring to the saints who became saints AFTER the Rapture occurs, even though they are not distinguished with a separarte label as tributlation saints, that’s indeed who they are.

    Jesus did say he that endures to the end will be saved, but He was not being so exact as to describe the specifics of those few saints who will be raptured while they (we) are still living. for the vast majority of the saints, this means until we die. he’s not referring to the end of the world in the context surrounding Matthew 10:22, he’s referring to the end f each saints’ life on this earth.

    The “last day” that Jesus refers to in John 6:40, 44 and 54 and 12:48 when read in the context of the verses which precede and folloow these verses appears to refer to the day of the Rapture. Remember, this is not the Second Coming of Jesus. That comes later, when He returns to earth. In the Rapture, He comes in the clouds and with a loud trumpet blast calls first the dead in Christ and then the living to rise to meet Him in the air. See 1 Thess. 4:14-18 for the best description of this coming event in scripture that is commonly referred to as “the Rapture.” 2 Thess. 2:1-12 goes on to explain what events or signs must precede this event. Wars and rumors of wars, false prophets, signs and miracles, and earthquakes, tsunamis, hurricanes have all occurred. the rebellion in verse 3 is the Greek word apostea, from which we derive the word apostasy or falling away of believers in the Church. That has clearly happened almost everywhere I know of where I live. So all that must happen before the Rapture occurs is the man of lawlessness (aka the Antichrist) must be revealed. I’m guessing a bit here, but I’m guessing we will see that event occur sometime this year (2012). Once that happens the Rapture could occur at any time. It’s not clear to me whether this implies a PTR or perhaps a mid-Trib. Rapture. It really does not matter. It’s out of our control in any event and the real issue for us is will we fully trust God and believe Him? As for me, the answer is a definite “yes!”

    I hope you find some of this helpful. That’s how I intended it.

    That is why Glenn and Pat and Stu are so frustrated.  So many people keep saying that Rick is their first choice but they are going to vote for Newt because they think he will beat Obama.  If everyone that like Rick would vote for him instead of someone else, he could get some traction.  Listen to the callers on the show that say Rick is their 1st choice but.  This is the time to check them all out, get everything out in the open on all of them and then get behind the person with your values.  When it comes to the general election, we all put everything behind the GOP nominee.  We don’t have to settle yet.  Like Glenn said he would vote for the sole of his shoe against Obama.

    Glenn supports Rick – Do you have a clue what church he supports?

  • Janet Conroy

    The ethics charges weren’t dropped, Newt made a plea bargain, copped to one charge and paid an enormous fine.  Innocent people don’t do that, especially those with a spine. Then Newt announced he was stepping down (before a total revolt from his own caucus kicked him out of his leadership position) and resigned from the House AFTER just having been re-elected.  The man is personally and politically corrupt.

    You ask how is Newt’s past more destructive to us than Obama?  Aside from being irrelevant (you don’t want to nominate anyone as bad as Obama unless you are an idiot), Newt has done plenty to destroy America, Obama is just the latest schmuck to add to the mess Newt helped to create.

    Newt DESTROYED Reagan Country and turned it into Mexifornia with his MULTIPLE amnesties for illegal aliens, by then being miserly with funding for our border protection resources and, by blocking an earlier version of the E-Verify system from becoming mandatory, instead of merely voluntary.  The lion’s share of illegal aliens resided in California.

    Adding insult to injury, he allowed the Clinton Administration to run a citizenship scam just ahead of the 1996 elections where over one million aliens were given US citizenship just in time to vote for Clinton.  Many of those given citizenship failed their tests, failed their background checks, had no background checks done at all and jailed criminal aliens were even given citizenship in violation of the law.  Of the million plus aliens granted citizenship, again, the lion’s share lived in California — we had two of the citizenship fraud mills in California, the only state so blessed.

    Newt pushed both NAFTA and then Most Favored Nation (MFN) trading status for Communist China.  NAFTA gave us more illegals as their agricultural workers lost their jobs (after we dumped our ag products into their markets) and headed to the US to find new ones.  How many US jobs did we lose to NAFTA?  I remember , “that giant sucking sound” quite well  Then we get the hit from MFN for China?  Not only did the jobs outsourced to Mexico end up going to China (meaning more migrating illegal Mexicans) but OUR remaining manufacturing started heading to China, too.  How many trillions do we owe China, now, thanks to Newt?

    And, if you think that Newt wouldn’t do as bad or worse things as Obama, you haven’t been paying attention.  Newt believes that he is a law unto himself.  Anything Newt wants is a-okay with him.  If that means ignoring legislation and ruling by executive order, oh well.  If Newt wants it, it must be done.  He is a sociopath and we don’t need another one of those in the Oval.  Pick another candidate, Newt is not executive material, he is dictator material.

    I was so sure that Romney was the one who could and should win.  Then I saw him on Fox News with that horrible interview and body language when asked how he could reconcile his purported opposition to “Obama Care” when it was modeled after his own state’s position..  He acted like, “How dare you ask me that!”  He was absolutely  INDIGNANT at the interview.    After that,  I waited for this brilliant,  wealthy,  extremely well-educated,  Northeastern elite to show us that he was the one who could lead the country and get the country out of debt.  I had total faith in him.  I waited.  For weeks.   NOTHING happened except endorsements.  Nothing happened from Romney but a  projection of the feeling of entitlement.  WHEN  WE  FINALLY  DID  HEAR  HIM  SAY  SOMETHING,  HIS  SPEECH   WAS  HESITANT–ALMOST  STUTTERING,  AT  TIMES.  INARTICULATE!!!   TOTAL  DISAPPOINTMENT  AND  UTTERLY  DISCOURAGING.   THIS   MAN   CAN  NOT  HANDLE    A  CONVERSATION  WITH  OBAMA,   LET   ALONE  A DEBATE!!!.  If  you think that the criticism of George W.  Bush was bad,  just wait until you hear the ridicule that the Democrats are going to levy against the Republicans if and when Mitt Romney is elected.  George Bush actually performed far better than Romney has so far.  THIS  TIME,   I  WANT  SOMEONE  WHO  CAN  ARTICULATE  THEIR  POSITION.   NEWT  GINGRICH  CAN  DO  THIS.   I also agree with him on what he did for this country in 1994.  My hispanic housekeeper even agreed.  She said that they–meaning illegals–aren’t coming up here much anymore because they don’t  pay  them  for the babies.  Amazing.  People do what they are rewarded for.  When will we ever get it!

    Newt is un-electable.  Aside from the fact that he has “no boots on the ground” in many states, he will be buried in so many negative (but truthful) ads that he will lose BIG TIME and take the down-ticket Republicans along with him in defeat.  Like Newt, the Democrats are vindictive creatures and they have not forgotten or forgiven him for Jim Wright, for their route in 1994 and his Clinton impeachment hypocrisy.  Unlike with any of the other Republican candidates, the fight against Gingrich will be very, very personal for the Democrat Party.  And, they have at least a BILLION dollars to use to get their revenge — not to mention the huge piles of cash their allies will be spending for the same purpose.  If Newt is the nominee, four more years of BO.  Here’s a preview of things you will see in some of those ads, a whole hour’s worth.

Like you I don’t want just to beat Obama, I want a president that will fix the problems. But I think, and I’m not a big thinker. That te only way to fix things is to give Obama anothr 4 years, so he’ll destroy the country so completely that we’ll have to start from scratch, and then by the grace of God a leader will rise from the ashes and we can rebuild the country as the founders intended. Since Paul will not win the nomination I’ll  sit this one out.

    Problem with Glenn’s rendition is…it is not true.  Gingrich did not resign in shame over ethic charges.  After the ethic charges that flooded his office, he was re-elected Speaker for two more years.  The ethic charges themselves were a joke…83 of the 84 were dismissed…the one that wasn’t (a minor tax violation) he was cleared of by the IRS a few years later.  Gingrich was no more run out of office for ethic violations than Sarah Palin was.

    Everyone has problems but at least these individuals are trying to rid our country of the plague known as obamaism, a plage that has infected our socioety with socialistic ideas similar to those of Hitler, Mao and Castro. Awaken America and see the evil before it is too late. Obama and his slaves who blindly folllow his radical agenda are no different than those socialists who followed evil in the past. If Obama is elected for the second time along with  Pelosi, Reid and the other democratic followers of Marx and Lenin then our once great country is doomed to fall just like Rome and other once great dynasties from within not from without. Only God can deliver us from this evil but maybe American is so evil that it is too late no matter what. Remember that the Bible proclaims that evil rulers are judgement for evil people and that God sets up rulers/leaders and also knocks them down. Let’s pray to God for forgiveness and beg for him to heal oor land.

    You clearly don’t know much about Romney.  Here are the facts:
    Romney’s historical success as a candidate is very poor.  In 25 races he’s competed in, he’s only won 9 (those races include primary races that he’s competed in, but exclude caucuses). 
    In an article entitled Overestimating Romney, Jonathan V. Last reported in The Weekly Standard on December 19, 2011 that:
     
    Romney lost to Ted Kennedy in a 1994 Senate race by 17 points, even though 1994 was the best year for Republicans since the early 1950s.His supporters claim a great victory of a Republican in the blue state of Massachusetts when he ran for governor.  But they don’t mention that he was the fourth Republican in a row that Massachusetts elected as governor.  And his victory was shallow receiving less than half the total votes cast. His approval was so low in Massachusetts that he could not mount a successful campaign to get re-elected.  His dismal performance gave the Democrats the governorship back for the first time in two decades. 
    According to the Center for Small Government, Romney was not the cost cutter he claims to have been.  During his one term as governor he increased the state budget from $22.7 billion to $25.7 billion.  And there was additional spending of $2.2 billion that the legislature took off budget.
     
    They go on to say that “the actual impact of Romney’s tenure as governor was a huge increase in state spending.”  And then they say that in Massachusetts under Romney “for every one government job created, two private sector jobs are lost.”
     
    Romney’s record is to the left of many liberals.  He doesn’t connect well with the electorate which is proven by his inability to get much past his 30% poll numbers. His personality comes across as mannequin-like making many feel he’s either cold or aloof with no real understanding of what average Americans feel.
     
    Those aren’t the characteristics of a candidate that one would select as the best choice to beat President Obama.

    No Emily09, he didn’t.  83 of the charges were dropped for having no merit.  The other charge was for teaching a college course at Kennesaw College in Georgia and Democrat David Bonior alleged that Newt MIGHT HAVE used it for politically partisan purposes and violated IRS rules.  But in 1999 the IRS ruled that Newt did nothing wrong and the course was perfectly valid and so was the way the money was handled.  The $300,000 Newt paid was not a fine, it was a reimbursement of expenses the House spent on the investigation.   

    Clearly you don’t believe in redemption either.  You say he’s a liar, and he certainly was lying to his past wives when he had affairs. However, he has more than a decade in a solid marriage now with no rumor of infidelity, he joined a church and went to God and his family and sought forgiveness.  You’re putting yourself above God if you won’t forgive someone when He will.  The issue isn’t if someone did something wrong, it’s whether they changed their life.  Newt’s record since his claimed change is solid.  But Emily09, I guess you know better than God does about forgiveness and who deserves it. 

    Newt has been an open book in this campaign and willing to answer any questions.  That’s not the mark of someone who is hiding things. Just yesterday it was reproted that Nancy Pelosi said she knows things that will keep Newt from being president.  Newt might not be president, but I’ll give him credit that in an interview after she said it he was asked about her statement and he said she should bring forth whatever she has.  That’s not the actions of somebody trying to hide something.

    Glenn is right that Newt is a bigger government guy than some other people.  But the fact is that it’s either going to be him or Romney, and Romney has a far worse record (see my reply above to another commenter about that).

    Get the facts straight Emily09 before you start slinging mud.

    Mitt Romney is Obama-light. Mitt Romney is “the guy who lost to the guy who lost to Obama.” McCain is my senator and I can’t stand him. Mitt Romney is, like McCain, a millionaire completely detached from what the rest of the country is going through. I am an Independent and I never liked him. Santorum I like and he has gotten better at debating but I don’t see him defeating Obama.  We all know Ron Paul is “the nutty old doctor.” Sometimes you have to make a deal with a lesser devil, and if we want the Obamas + Moochelle’s Big Momma out of the White House and out of our pockets, the choice is Newt Gingrich.

    If Newt Gingrich were being nominated for sainthood, many of us would vote very differently from the way we would vote if he were being nominated for a political office.
    What the media call Gingrich’s “baggage” concerns largely his personal life and the fact that he made a lot of money running a consulting firm after he left Congress. This kind of stuff makes lots of talking points that we will no doubt hear, again and again, over the next months.
    But how much weight should we give to this stuff when we are talking about the future of a nation?
    This is not just another election and Barack Obama is not just another president whose polices we may not like. With all of President Obama’s promises, glib demagoguery and cynical political moves, one promise he has kept all too well. That was his boast on the eve of the 2008 election: “We are going to change the United States of America.”
    Many Americans are already saying that they can hardly recognize the country they grew up in. We have already started down the path that has led Western European nations to the brink of financial disaster.
    Internationally, it is worse. A president who has pulled the rug out from under our allies, whether in Eastern Europe or the Middle East, tried to cozy up to our enemies, and has bowed low from the waist to foreign leaders certainly has not represented either the values or the interests of America.
    Against this background, how much does Newt Gingrich’s personal life matter, whether we accept this claim that he has now matured or his critics’ claim that he has not? Nor should we sell the public short by saying that they are going to vote on the basis media talking points, when the fate of this nation hangs in the balance.
    Even back in the 19th century, when the scandal came out that Grover Cleveland had fathered a child out of wedlock- and he publicly admitted it- the voters nevertheless sent him to the White House, where he became one of the better presidents.
    Do we wish we had another Ronald Reagan? We could certainly use one. But we have to play the hand we were dealt. And the Reagan card is not in the deck.
    While the television debates are what gave Newt Gingrich’s candidacy a big boost, concrete accomplishments when in office are the real test. Gingrich engineered the first Republican takeover of the House of Representatives in 40 years- followed by the first balanced budget in 40 years. The media called it “the Clinton surplus” but all spending bills start in the House of Representatives, and Gingrich was Speaker of the House.
    Speaker Gingrich also produced some long overdue welfare reforms, despite howls from liberals that the poor would be devastated.
    In a world where we can make our choices only among the alternatives actually available, the question is whether Newt Gingrich is better than Barack Obama- and better than Mitt Romney.
    Can you name one important positive thing that Romney accomplished as Governor of Massachusetts?
    Can anyone? Does a candidate who represents the bland leading the bland increase the chances of victory in November 2012? A lot of candidates like that have lost, from Thomas E. Dewey to John McCain. Those who want to concentrate on the baggage in Newt Gingrich’s past, rather than on the nation’s future, should remember what Winston Churchill said: “If the past sits in judgment on the present, the future will be lost.” If that means a second term for Barack Obama, then it means lost big time

    Glenn,

    Newt is the best person to lead in this atmosphere.  Think about it, who speaks to and motivates an alcoholic to go the high road.  It is someone who has been there and done that.    There are alot of people entrenched that will not start moving in the right direction without the right leadership. 
     Newt has good positions for leadership out of the current mess, I am not sure the others won’t get swallowed up and we end in a stale mate.

    Sometimes it is not all or nothing.  We need to move in a positive direction, and what you want may be everything we all dream of and not what is doable. 

    As far as Newt’s past….what about yours?  Mine?  He without sin, throw the first stone.  I see in Newt a capable man with passion for this country to be healthy.  He is someone who sees the best in others and looks for talent, skills and abilities that can be utilized for production.  We need to stop throwing stones and start rebuilding the house.  Knock it off Glenn, …I didn’t think it was possible but you are turning elitist and turning me off.  I am one of your most outspoken fans. 
    You can hate progressivism and alcoholism knowing that they are diseases and overcommers get past what has afflicted them in the past.  I believe Newt is in a repentant state as are you.  Yes, there are some areas where any of us do not yet see ….and we are ALL still growing.  Some in a positive direction and some not.  If you look at Newt’s life now, he has a beautiful stable family life and is a productive provider.  He uses the avenues available to him and does so with conviction of his principles, …. Wh ich are much better than in his younger years when he was being tempted in every direction, not knowing he could be burned.  Though he got close enough to the fire to burn, he didn’t…he learned It Is Hot and has a beautiful family that he loves to be with….he is not going up in flames Glenn. 

    We need a New President,  we need a strong opposing candadite who CAN WIN and then deal with the trash.  If you have been there, you have discernment and skills. …Newt is the Guy…get over it.

Newt says all the things that they know we want to hear too, that doesn’t mean that once he’s in office that he’ll do it. Does Obama do what he preaches? The on thing I just can’t understand that if Glenn is so upset about Mitt & Newt that he doesn’t come out & put his support as a private citizen on Rick Santorum. He says he likes him, but he has the opportunity to really help him. If he’s truly worried about the direction of our country than why doesn’t he do more than just run down the other two? If he truly believes that Santorum is the best for our country than do more than say I like him. Campaign for him!! It would give him such a boost! He is just fading away like Michelle did. Glenn you have the power to help & your ranting about Newt is not going to do it!! If you believe this much that Newt is a Progressive & say you will continue to fight them than do something man!! Your personal support to Santorum, being at a function with him would be the best fight you could give against the Progressives!! You have the influence! Use it in a different way than just ranting. Santorum needs you. Our country needs your to help! You see what is happening. A lot of people like me can’t get your GBTV & have lost contact with you, but you still have a huge amount of people that believe in what you say they just don’t see or hear you any more. If you don’t do something different, they are just going to vote for who they think can beat Obama & be fooled again. You need to make it personal & get behind Santorum if you truly believe that he is best for our country. Get out there & let people see you with him. I don’t understand why your not!!!

    Newt scares the sox off me.  I’m sorry, but I do not trust a man who cheats on not one, but two wives, and the drags around his latest trophy who’s younger than his eldest daughter.  He’s a great debater, but once confronted with his past peccadilloes, he won’t have a chance in the general election.  I felt the same way about Guiliani.  He always had that skank hanging on his arm as if he were about to bolt.  I had a brother who was a tail chaser, wife beater, and fathered nine children by three wives.  He left a trail of destruction, and though now dead, his legacy continues to harm his survivors.  People like Gingrich are basically flawed and i don’t care what he’s had to say to his preferred deity.  The damage has been done and he is responsible for the effects.

    Rush understands the reasoning behind the SC vote, Glenn doesn’t address that. Glenn Beck lashed out in anger at people living and voting in SC, which saddens me because I agree with the ideas he puts forth.

    We voted for Newt because he was the only one  articulating conservatism and has some fight. I know people point to Santorum, but any man who lets his good name be tarnished and smeared across Goggle for 10 years has no fight. Romney, yeah, he’s a liberal and cannot defend conservatism. That leaves Dr. Paul, which I admire some of his ideas, but he really needs to move to the Libertarian Party and extol their ideas.

    That left us in SC with Newt. He was the only one we saw willing to stand up and fight back the MSM that’s been fibbing for years. And he articulated a case for conservatism in a sound way. We in SC wanted to send a message, more than anything, to the GOP- we want these ideas articulated by the candidate. How else were we supposed to do it? And… ANY GOP candidate is going to be scrutinized and smeared.

    Here is the link to Rush’s take: http://www.rushlimbaugh.com/daily/2012/01/23/newt_is_a_vessel_he_won_south_carolina_because_he_articulated_conservatism

    And part of the transcript bellow; it wasn’t complicated for us in SC  to choose, so why doesn’t Glenn understand out message?

    Rush Limbaugh:
    I’m just telling you, Juan Williams, John King could have asked the
    same questions to any other Republican and it woulda sunk ‘em, because
    none of them are willing to articulate conservative. Maybe not Santorum. 
    Santorum probably coulda hung in there.  Now, this presents a huge
    stumbling block potential for Newt.  He is vulnerable on the very thing
    he can do better than anybody else.  He had better fully embrace his
    conservatism and not make it a part-time thing.  The days of being able
    to keep this momentum going by ripping on the media are over.  The
    standing ovations for taking on the media are over, or they have a very
    short life span.  He can’t live on that anymore.  Been there, done
    that.  It’s gonna get old and it’s gonna look like it’s been set up. 
    There’s not gonna be any drama to it, therefore there’s not gonna be all
    that spontaneous “way to go” standing O stuff, unless it’s just
    outrageous.  You only go to the well so many times on this stuff.

    Now, Newt keeps pushing off any questions on his anti-conservative
    statements.  And he better not.  I think Newt is just as vulnerable on
    his anti-conservatism as Romney is on Romneycare.  “What do you mean by
    that, Rush?”  Very simple.  Newt has made it plain two or three times
    that he’s very open to the concept of man-made global warming.  He can
    blow this by sitting on the couch with Pelosi again or something that is
    equivalent.  Newt has in the past had some unflattering things to say
    about capitalism.  His time at Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac is a
    vulnerability. Saying that FDR is the best president, his favorite
    president, that doesn’t jibe with being a conservative.  His open
    support for single payer health insurance with a mandate.  I’m just
    telling you, Newt’s not out of the woods here.  And Newt and his crew
    had better understand that he’s where he is not just because of a media
    smackdown, not just because of debates.  He’s articulating conservatism
    when he does this stuff, and if he stops doing that or if he waters it
    down or if he gets caught in an example where people can be convinced he
    doesn’t really believe this stuff…

    And finally, Rush at least voiced his confidence in us, unlike Glenn:

    I trust the Republican base.  That’s who I trust.  I trust the
    Republican voters.  I’m totally confident with them.  They are the
    people in this audience.  Why wouldn’t I trust them?  They’ll figure
    this out.  They’re not a bunch of brain-dead, mind-numbed robots.  This
    is how democracy works.  It’s how representative Republicanism works. 
    It’s what we’re trying to hold onto, for crying out loud.  You know,
    only a little more than 1% of the population’s voted so far.  The
    delegate count right now, Romney 31, Gingrich 32, Paul 10, Santorum 8.
    There are 1,144 delegates needed to win.  We’re nowhere near being over
    here.  I don’t subscribe to conventional wisdom, and neither should you.

    When one considers the all around capabilities of Mitt Romney (read his book”No apoligies”) I believe he should be the next President. He has the best combination of executive and financial experience necessary to put America “back on track”. He will win the debates with Obama!

    Okay so lets just allow obama to get another 4 years because Glenn hates progressives.  I hate them too, but I hate obama more.  We can deal with Newt.  People change.  Glenn has changed from his old ways.  And by the way where is the candidate, Glenn, where is that candidate you would support.

(Even if we had such a candidate)
    The “independents” are the ones that will decide, once again, this next election…
    I don’t understand, Glenn, this blind side of you that I am seeing.  If not Mitt or Newt…then who the HELL will it be??? Obviously Santorium is no match for the Obama’s silver tongue, even if he could get the GOP to back him(which the grand ole party will  not!!)

    The vast majority of people , on both political sides, are shallow, and will be looking for a “man” who can be their savior…someone to worship…so the GOP candidate must also have some of those devious verbal skills(we used to call it lying) in order to win over Oba.

    I like Santorum, but the atmosphere in Washington will not co-operate with him.  He has solid conservative principles that will not allow his concience to executive order his way to solutions as he sees it…  He will be in a stale mate even if he could win.

    I am not a betting person but if I were, I would bet that Newt would have cabinet positions for Rick and Ron and Michele.  Newt sees talent and will delegate to people who are passionate to work on particular projects.  He is smart enough to know and has already articulated that he will need help getting it all done … I think if we elect Newt we will get the whole nut!  lol.

    I do believe Santorum is the only true conservative left in the race.  And yes, I do believe he could beat Obama.  Gingrich was for the mandate in Obamacare, and frankly, I do not trust him on that.  Then there is the case of his fooling around while he was a married man–I understand that is his personal life, but if you can’t be loyal to your wife and family, who can you be loyal to?  Then there is the case that he is a very smart man and has immense knowledge about all the issues of the day and how to fix them.  There is also the truth that he has a grass roots organization which he has had since Obama took office in American Solutions.  If you look at Rick Santorum, you see a mostly honest man–he stands on principle, and has not changed his opinion on anything such as Obamacare and pro-life, etc. since he does not base his opinion on the way society shifts their opinions, but on the way his principles lead him.  I want a principled man in the White House who will do the right thing according to his principles that is also an originalist when it comes to the constitution.  Newt seems to do a lot of his own thing on that score.  We have a choice to make if the constitution is to live and still remain in place–do we settle for a 50% who will move things in the progressive vein a lot slower than Obama, or do we choose an originalist who is not only in tune with the Constitution, but will do all in his or her power to follow the letter of the constitution?  If we want the constitution changed, there is a way to do it.

    For further information, our illustrious House and Senate has tried to change the constitution 8 times in five or six years without our knowledge–just as a matter of fiat law they passed.
    The following is information from a video on utube which has been removed.  Don’t take it as gospel, but research it to see how true it is or how false it is.  Here are the notes I took from that video before it was removed because they said on utube it did not follow policy????  I find that a bit questionable.  You decide after your research.  Folks you have to watch out for everything these days.  Now here is the info.

    I am with Glenn on not supporting any more big government candidates. My problem with Glenn is that he is supporting a big governmet candidate. At what point will the nation come to recognize that the Republicans and Democrats have nothing to offer with the exception of the one candidate they do not recognize. Life would be so much better if Ron Paul were President. Glenn, I hope you are reading this, shame on you for preaching the gospel on following the constitution and then completely blowing off the one true Constitutionalist in the race. You lost all respect from me and my patriotism.

    This is not about you, so I don’t need to check your ‘activity’. In all his service to our country, Paul had only 1 bill passed, and that was to sell an old post office in Galveston Texas to the city for a Museum. He could have mailed in all his ‘accomplishments’…such as they are. And I kinda like Paul, he supports my conservatism, but he is not presidential material…yet!

    NO.  A VOTE FOR NEWT IS A VOTE AGAINST OBAMA.  A VOTE FOR MITT IS A VOTE AGAINST OBAMA.  A VOTE FOR SANTORUM IS A VOTE AGAINST OBAMA.  THE FIRST QUESTION IS:  HOW DO WE GET ENOUGH VOTES AGAINST OBAMA?  SECOND QUESTION IS:  IF WE CAN GET A REPUBLICAN IN THE OVAL OFFICE, WILL HE STEER THIS COUNTRY AWAY FROM THE LIBERAL POLICIES OF THE LAST 40 YEARS AND REMAIN TRUE TO THE VALUES OF PERSONAL FREEDOM AND PERSONAL RESPONSIBILITY?

    NEWT MAKES EXTREMELY CLEAR THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN CONSTITUTIONAL VALUES AND BIG GOVERNMENT.  HE GIVES VOICE TO CONSERVATIVE VALUES.  OF COURSE SO DO ROMNEY AND SANTORUM, BUT TO VASTLY LESSER DEGREE AND OF TOTALLY DIFFERENT TONE.

    SANTORUM SEEMS TO POUT HIS VALUES AND POSITIONS AND MAKES HIMSELF AND WHAT HE HAS DONE THE ISSUE.  MITT SEEMS TO WANT EVERYONE TO BE HAPPY AND CAN’T WE ALL JUST GET ALONG…

    NEWT TALKS ABOUT THE ISSUES, THE CHOICE  AND THE FUTURE.  AND ALL OTHER CONCERNS ASIDE (ELECT-ABILITY), I SUSPECT THAT YOU AGREE WITH THE ‘WHAT’ THAT NEWT ARTICULATES.

    AS TO ‘DIRT IN THE CLOSET’, I HAVE NO DOUBT THAT SANTORUM AND MITT ARE CLOSER TO SAINTHOOD THAN NEWT.  NEWT WOULD TELL YOU THAT.  BUT WE ARE NOT VOTING FOR A POPE.  WE ARE CONSIDERING A PRESIDENT.

    YEARS HAVE TEMPERED THE FIREBRAND NEWT OF THE 1980′S; YET HIS POSITIONS HAVE REMAINED THE SAME.  IT IS THOSE POSITIONS THAT WE CAN HOPE WHOEVER WINS THE NOMINATION WILL FIGHT FOR.

    SADLY, I SUSPECT THAT OBAMA WILL WIN IF NEWT IS THE NOMINEE.  BUT THEN I SUSPECT THAT OBAMA WILL WIN IF MITT IS THE NOMINEE.  OR SANTORUM….  BUT NOT BECAUSE NEWT IS “UN-ELECTABLE”.  THERE SIMPLY ARE MORE OF ‘THEM’ THAN THERE ARE OF ‘US’.

    P.S.  I’M SORRY GLENN…I LOVE YOU, BUT YOU ARE DEAD WRONG ABOUT NEWT BEING A “PROGRESSIVE”….

    Glenn is right.  Newt Gingrich is a Progressive.  He belongs to the progressive organization ” The Council of Foreign Relations”.  They believe in big government and the New World Order and one global government.  Some of their other organizations are:  Tri-Lateral Commission and the Bildebergs.  The Council of Foreign Relations was founded in 1954 by David Rockefeller.  One of top Progressive liberals in America.  He also founded the Tri-Lateral Commission and is a member of the Bildebergs.  You can go online at any one of these sites and download their members.  The Tri-Lateral are the ones who groomed Obama for the Presidency and the Bildebergs put in motion in their secret meeting in 2007
    where Obama and Hilliary were both in attendance.  Rick Perry was also at the meeting as a member (2003 to currently) of the Bildebergs.  If you follow the people and who their associates you get the picture.  The Progressives have canidates running in both parties so they do lose.  Gingrich the Progressive gets the backing of Rick Perry (a Bildeberg) and also Mark Sanford former governor of So. Carolina (also a Bildeberg).  They want him to face Obama, no matter who loses they still win.  David Rockefeller had said several years ago in  a interview the only person he was afraid of was Ron Paul.  I have checked out Mitt Romney, I cannot find him belonging to any of these organization.  He may have been a Democrat and then changed to a Republican, which by the way so did Ronald Reagan and he turned out to be one of our best Presidents.  He has the financial and economic skills this country needs before we fall off the cliff.  People do your research before its too late.

    OK seriously, Mitt has no dirt? What closet are you hinging out in? Set aside the claims of Mitt being more a Wall Street Shark, levying and selling off jobs for the bottom line profit, you still have the huge Pink Elephant named, Mandated Healthcare Coverage, standing in the room trying to hide behind the sofa! Seriously! Mitt served as the model for the Pelosi/Reid/Obama grab for power!
    I mean its pretty much hypocritical of conservatives to draw the line against progressivism, and yet, take comfort in their mandated social security entitlement, and their IRS enforced mandated health care reform! Thou Hypocrite. It puzzles me and as well, confounds me how republicans who claim to be God Fearing Americans resign so flippantly to vote the lesser of two evils, I mean at the end of the day, isn’t still evil? Or is it just me? I know this, I cannot speak for anyone but myself. I will not yield, I will not compromise, I will not relent! I want my liberties untouched thank you very much! I want for just once in my life time to see America NOT at war! I want to see America embrace the principles of liberty, and abandon this evil trend of authoritarian, and draconian mandates handed down by the republicans and democrats! Enough is enough!.

    I’m having a hard time   trying to  get totally wrapped around glenn’s progressive stance and his anti-newt rants.  He    is creating a contradiction. The shear act of governing is a progressive tenant.   When we vote and elect someone to office  we contribute to 
    progressivism .  Glen says I want someone who believes this or that. You should do this way, but I’m not judging you, and its ultimately up to you to lead your life. Given that , his Utopian society of  anti-
    progressivism  would be no governmnent at all.(I’m not all against that given what’s been handed to us!) But even the founding fathers said it was necessary for an orderly society to form consensus and have laws.  Not everyone will always agree with the 
    consensus .  When you have someone like Newt whose career spans many years, whose been in a leadership role,  having or coming up with ideas  ,and taking a positions are expected of that job. But, fortunately for us,what may start out sounding as a good idea, gets exposed as flawed  because it is an intrusion to freedom when examined more.They,[ideas], all are not going to be winners. We’ve all been there. Also, its unfortunate that all politicians success are judged by what they accomplish. And passing legislation has been the report card, but rolling back laws that would give us more freedom isn’t given the same weight. Its always what they are going to do” for you”not what they are not going to do for you that gets the press. But given Newt has walked back some populous and progressive ideas  by using the same logic all conservatives would use there is hope for Newt. I wish Glenn would keep working on Newt to move him more his way, and not just throw in the towel and blast him.

    With the possible exception of Ron Paul (foreign policy is dreadful; fiscal policy is good), I believe any of our candidates are better than Obama.  If you criticize them and antagonize people toward them – and they then become our nominee – you may have destroyed votes that will be needed to beat Obama!  I don’t like Newt’s baggage, but what about Obama’s baggage that no one talks about?  Bill Ayers, Tony Rezco, Larry Sinclair and possible cocaine use and homosexual relationships, the 2 Mafia-style killings of gay men in Jeremiah Wright’s church, including the choir director???  There’s much to be concerned about on the other side – let alone the disastrous policies that have us at a $15 trillion debt!

    i respect Mr. Paul, and am glad he is on our side, but he is a man on an island. He has never been able to coalesce his  views for something into accomplishment or law.  By electing him to a position to where it will be even harder to do ,what would give you any assurance he would have success, now. Most his accomplishments that get  listed seem to stem from laws proposed that he is against. (not a bad thing!), but never from original proposals that he could draft that would nix these liberal socialists. I see him more as a reactionary, than a visionary.
    He is a good soldier for our cause. What about him becoming Speaker of the House in the next term or Head up the banking committee?

    The real enemy is the MEDIA BIAS.

    How could the media neglect to report on the March for Life in D.C.?
    No suits and ties on the streets. Federal buildings all closed.
    Just hundreds of thousands of college students, teens, and adults out there in a show of force.

    Glenn, wish you would be a little more honest, than saying Newt reigned in disgrace.  He was exonerated / cleared on all charges and the fine was immaterial.  If YOU know what Ms. Pelossi knows, let the rest of us know.  

    As for being a “Socialist type Progressive”, I think not. Newt knows less government is what is needed and he is the  only person to make it happen … just as he was the only person who could work with Clinton to balance the budget.  YOU tie him to Teddy, Wilson and FDR … many older Americans think they did some good things and overall were what America needed at the time.  The term “Progressive” (ie. forward thinking, outside of the box thinking) is one thing, Socialism as preached by Obama is much worse.  Sure do wish you and Newt could sut down and talk through these issues.

    As for Mitt, looks real presidential and is smooth as glass, but …  Like many NEasterners he lacks the ‘fire in the belly” and knowledge of tough times.  He was born with a silver spoon and has never had to really hustle to make ends meet or get his hands dirty to get a job done.  He is a classic “party perfect pick” with a rich mans outlook and probably ties to the IMF.  Until he can make the folks stand and cheer he is a just a high class loser!

    The conservative movement is very confused and you are not helping folks see the way.  CONSERVATISM is lesser GOV, reasonable and fair taxes, state rights and unmitigated economic opportunity.  It has worked for a long time, but we are in the “welfare state’ and due to our absolute lack of knowledge as a citizenry it will be very hard to make it work ever again.

    It’s gonna take one mean assed dude to shake DC at the roots … and Newt may be the only guy rough and tough enough to do the job.  He has done good work in the past, but as I personally can attest … when you get the job done, some folk get in the way and/or don’t like the way you get results ( some people get hurt, deservedly and undeservedly).  Cleaning up our corrupt bureaucracy will not be pretty or easy.

    Yes any candidate would be better than Obama.  But if the Republicans choose Gincrich, the Democrats will be laughing all the way to the polls.  Gingrich has so much baggage that it will be easy for  Obama’s keepers will destroy him.

    Well!  It seems that once again, we do  not have “the right one” for which to vote”.  I would like to hear from someone on Santorum.   He certainly has improved at the lectern & with the people since the beginning.   Is there anyone who will speak up for the Pennsylvania guy??

    Yes!  Santorum is great.  Ethical, well spoken and ethical.   My concern is his ability to defeat Obama.

    So Glenn…now what? We don’t have a candidate..right…I think I like Santorum but he’ll never make it to or past the primaries…i guess we’re just screwed.  Why can’t we ever get a conservative candidate?  Four more years of Obama will be the last of this nation as we know it and maybe the world!  Got ant ideas to share..I don’t have high speed internet so I can’t get GBTV and can’t listen. Sure miss the old days with you on Fox!!

    Clearly you have not read the Koran or anything about Islam.  Islam has been attempting do destroy and control the rest of the world for 1500 years, when their evil prophet  muhammed wrote the Koran with an invented THEIR FALSE God “allah”.  Islamists want to destroy other civilizations NO MATTER WHAT THEY DO.  American poicies haven’t created islamic terrorists. IT IS THEIR CORE BELIEF ANd THEY HAVE BEEN TRYING TO DO it SINCE MUHAMMED – THEIR KORAN TELLS THEM THEY MUST.  read some history before you Ron Paulers try to tell us america caused it.  TRY JEFFERSON AND HOW HE WENT TO WAR WITH THE BARBARY PIRATES 200 YEARS AGO BECAUSE THEY ATTACKED OUR SHIPS – ALTHOUGH WE HAD DONE NOTHING TO THEM.  YES, THEY WERE ISLAMIC EXTREMISTS.  i suppose ron Paul would have just let them be.

    You may be right.  Gingrich might be the only person that can beat Obama, but let’s say that happens.  How is that better?  Gingrich agrees with Obama on global warming, and the individual mandate.  He has a few things that are more conservative than Obama, but not by much.  He’s pro-life, but that’s really all I can think of.  I’ll go down flag waving before I’ll vote for a man simply because “he’s electable.”  Nancy Pelosi said we should get back to a place where elections don’t really matter that much because all the candidates believe the same thing.  I guess she got her wish.

    Santorum doesn’t have the gravitas….he looks like a young boy “telling” on the others.  He comes across as too pious and judgemental for my tastes.  I’m not looking for a messiah or moral leader…I’m looking for someone to balance the budget and reform entitlements.  Gingrich is the ONLY one who has done that.  If that makes him a progressive, then I guess I am as well.

  • Anonymous

    I agree.  Looking over Glenn’s articles on Gingrich, they are filled with trash over who Gingrich likes as past presidents and cheap shots over his past marriages.  Beck’s priorities in presidential selection stikes me as odd and lacking.

  • Anonymous

    I agree.  We need a fighter who will take on the media and the establishment’s propoganda.  It will be a nasty fight, but Gingrich appears to be the only one I’ve seen able to take the blows and come out swinging.  And he is the ONLY one to have balanced the federal budget and reform major entitlements.  Results matter.

    Gingrich’s baggage has already been aired and thoroughly inspected years ago.  It matters little compared to our nation’s problems.  Besides, his baggage has gotten a little lighter…the ex-wife baggage didn’t work against him.

  • Anonymous

    If Gingrich is so bad, then Beck shouldn’t have to lie about him.  Gingrich did not leave in shame over the ethic charges, but was in fact re-elected as Speaker for two more years after those charges were all dismissed but for one (a minor tax violation the IRS and Courts later exonerated Gingrich for).  Gingrich resigned when the republicans lost 5 seats and Gingrich didn’t have the votes to stay as Speaker.  I guess when Beck use to say “do your own research”, he was hoping we wouldn’t and just believe him.  I am very disappointed to see blantant lies and smears being pushed by Beck.  Report the truth, so the people can decide justly….unless that is not the goal you have…….

    I take issue with any elected official who exalts his position or esteems himself to “know what is best” or better than the people who elected them.  I sincerely believe that our current government workers (federal and state) and this administration are all corrupt and could care less about what is important and needful to the average American. We are on our own! We are living in challenging times and it is always the hard-working person, the weak, the elderly, and the vulnerable who suffer the most.  Our current elected officials are living the good life at our expense. They cannot feel what the average American feels because they don’t have to live “that way.”  I believe people need to wake-up and be alert…Our government is seeking whom they may devour.

    People, have we forgotten that the real enemy is sitting in the White House?

    Did anyone notice that Obama is using the SEALs as his personal elite
    strike force when his numbers need a boost? He did it with Somalian
    pirates in the Maersk hijacking, he did it again with Osama Bin Laden,
    he did it again with rescuing Iranian fishermen from Somalian pirates,
    and he did it again to rescue two people kidnapped in Somalia who were
    workers for a Scandinavian relief organization just in time to use it
    for his SOTU address. This is a disturbing habit and I think we will
    see events of this type increase when ever he is needing a boost in the
    polls. He is literally killing for votes, and using the military to do
    his wet work.

    He commits these men to peril with no regard for their personal safety, because bullets are cheap, but his administration wants to do away with advances in military technology that can save our fighting men’s lives on the battlefield, as well as reducing the size of our conventional forces to the point that we can only deploy against smaller enemy nations with little or no capacity to put up a fight.

    We need for him to be roundly defeated at the polls, but as long as we let the liberal media run the Republican candidate debates, ask all the questions, and publicly destroy candidates we will not accomplish the mission of highest importance – defeating Obama. Something is wrong with letting a biased media run the other party’s campaigns and take pot shots at the candidates without holding them responsible for doing it on Obama’s behalf. They start the feeding frenzy, and let us finish it while they point fingers. Personally I am tired of the media elite determine who we get to vote for, and while no candidate is ideal and I don’t expect them to be, I will vote for just about anyone who is not Obama or a democrat, or liberal.

     A few random observations. Early in the primary season in 2008, when it looked like Senator Hillary Clinton would be the Democratic nominee, I thought for sure, that would guarantee a Republican White House. Very few Democrats could marshall as much anger, resentment and agita among Republicans than Hillary Clinton. I thought that such agita would provide the incentive and drive for a strongly unified Republican effort. Then out of nowhere came Senator Obama who surged past Clinton to the amazement of all. At that time, he lacked a long enough track record to raise blood levels to boiling as did Hillary Clinton. With a lukewarm backing by his own party, down to defeat went Senator McCain.

    4 years later, and Republican blood is boiling. The President’s track record is well known now; his job is there for the taking. Moderate Democrat and independant votes are there for the taking. I would suggest that few Republicans can get the Democrat blood boiling like Newt Gingrich. Despite their own dissatisfaction with their own incumbent president, they will mobilize against Newt. The often expressed” anyone but Obama” will be repeated on the other side and in the middle as “anyone but Gingrich”. For that and other reasons, I suspect that Mr. Gingrich is the President’s desired foe. It is a lot easier to contrast himself from Gingrich than from Mr. Romney. Gingrich has what Romney lacks–fire in the belly and a long history of belligerance to the Democrats. Will that fire ignite the Republican base, or will his other foibles drag him down?  A lot of Republicans are lukewarm about Mr. Romney–same result if he is the nominee as in 2008? Does Santorum as VP provide him credibility with social conservatives?

    Internicine battles leave scars. Obama wins without a united Republican Party effort. So who ever gets the nomination, better back him.

    Glen, my heart is with Gingrich and Palin. The two connect well to bring this Country around. The thing is that Sarah Palin should be the President and Newt the VP. We don’t stand a chance in hell with weak minds fighting the big O. And nothing could be worse than four more years with this socialist moving full steam ahead into the making of another Greece where everyone is controlled by the Government in all aspects of our lives. He will abolish the constitution and put an end to freedom and choices. Please do US a big favor and talk to Mrs. Palin.

    ok…i wanted to respond to your actural comment when you responded to my earlyer responce….but i can’t seem to find it. so, here it is. i stated that you were attacking beck for being dishonest and i said that you were the one being dishonest because you are saying that you have lost faith in beck while you are frequenting a site called ‘stopbeck.com’. your responce was that i was a lier. and yet your profile clearly states that you blog on that site. i do thank you for placing m in the same catagory as beck, however i must decline. i am nothing like beck. he has the ambition to run multiple bussiness and still makes time for his family and his faith. compared to him most men are just plain lazy. as for his suport for romney because they share the same religion, well, he don’t. he suports santorim. as for your latest rant about beck destroying the only guy that can beat obama, if he is the only thing that can then we are realy in it now. what is the use of having a guy beat obama if that guy can’t run the nation right. thats like pullng a pilot out of the cockpit because he was aiming the plane at buildings and putting a gorrila in his place because he would fit in the seat. doesn’t mean that he can fly. respond to this if you like, but i will not be responding again to you.you evidently have a major problem with the truth, as you are calling people liars that simply point out that you have your own resons for attacking beck that has little to do with any truth.

    A qoute from Barry Goldwater
    in the book  The
    Conscience of a Conservative (1960) that I feel goes to
    the core of the conservative movement today….. 
    I’m asking everyone to pass this on not only to your friends but to your
    representatives in Washington, DC, your state,
    your city etc. 

    Quote:

    “The turn will come when we entrust the conduct of
    our affairs to men who understand that their first duty as public officials
    is to divest themselves of the power they have been given. It will come when
    Americans, in the hundreds of communities throughout the nation, decide to
    put the man in office who is pledged to enforce the Constitution and restore
    the Republic. Who will proclaim in a campaign speech: “I have little
    interest in streamlining government or in making it more efficient, for I
    mean to reduce its size. I do not undertake to promote welfare, for I propose
    to extend freedom. My aim is not to pass laws, but to repeal them. It is not
    to inaugurate new programs, but to cancel old ones that do violence to the
    Constitution, or that have failed in their purpose, or that impose on the
    people an unwarranted financial burden. I will not attempt to discover
    whether legislation is ‘needed’ before I have first determined whether it is
    constitutionally permissible. And if I should later be attacked for
    neglecting my constituents’ ‘interests,’ I shall reply that I was informed
    their main interest is liberty and that in that cause I am doing the very
    best I can.”

    And Romney isn’t a Progressive or at least, a RINO? Remember Newt’s Contract With America, remember Newt’s entitlement reforms? Oh, yeah, and that hit-piece on Newt from RINO Abrams turns out to be a lie. Not only that, but Newt did not ‘resign in disgrace’ from Congress. He was exonerated. Glenn’s attacks on Newt are not as slimy as Romney’s, but they are less than truthful. You mean to tell me, Glenn, that Romney is more Conservative than Newt? Come on. Look what Newt accomplished for Reagan. That’s where I look. Mark Levin and Rush both agree that the latest hits on Gingrich are baseless. One thing for sure – the Obamacare you’re so afraid of? You’re going to get it if Romney’s your man. Glenn, you cut off your nose to spite your face. I don’t trust you anymore.

    I really like Newt’s words and the ideas/ promises he’s making now.  He sounds almost like Paul-light.  But if Beck is right that he is a liar and a progressive, he won’t push the radically-conservative economic moves needed to pull the country out of the progressive economic train-wreck that Obama and 50 years of progressive political control have brought us.  He will simply reside over the 2012-1015 super-recession that is coming.  This will give “conservative” economics the blame for the financial, economic and monitor collapse that progressives will have caused.  This will solidify the stranglehold they have on our country.  If Obama is re-elected, the collapse may possibly be credited to the progressive ideas that created it… unless the media is able to hide the truth again.  It’s not a simple question with a simple answer, so let’s take our time and think about it.  My knee-jerk reaction is to trust that Newt has changed, but I’m a gullible person, frankly.  My principles (regarding debt/ taxes/ etc, not drugs and those things) tell me it’s Paul, but he is a weak public speaker.  Nothing I’ve seen so far favors Romney, but I keep looking for evidence that he’s not a big-gov progressive-light man without passion.  Obama has made his bed of failure, but do we really want a progressive with a conservative label to lye in it during the collapse of the next four years?

    Glenn you are wrong about Newt leaving in “Shame”…  CORRECTION PLEASE.  Newt still served as speaker for a couple of years then he left because he knew he would not be elected for another term….  Get your story correct.  I am sure there was shame but not the way you color your story!!!  The media says you were FIRED from Fox News should we believe them or you????  CORRECTION PLEASE… And if Newt and Romney are so much alike – why are you so worried about who we choose????
