Glenn Beck: I’d consider Ron Paul as third party over Newt Gingrich

report this ad

Glenn Beck said this morning on his radio show that if Newt Gingrich is the nominee and Ron Paul runs third party, he’d consider voting for Ron Paul over Newt Gingrich, and he hates Ron Paul’s policies on the Middle East:

This is suicide and it doesn’t get any simpler this: voting third party on our side for whomever guarantees Obama a victory. That’s it. And if Newt’s the nominee and Beck wants to go that road, then I tell him what I tell others: enjoy the hell that will be a second Obama term.

I’ve made my position clear about Newt. He’s not my guy, but if he’s the nominee, I’ll run to the polls to vote for him and I’d encourage all of you to do the same.

  • AMEN SCOOP!

    • Amen? Both Newt and Obama love big government. I’d rather have Obama destroy the nation than Newt. If Obama gets reelected, at least we might get a real candidate in 2016.

      • When talking about issues Newt has sometimes has some strange ideas, but his record in office is clearly conservative. I can only conclude that you would like to see Obama finish destroying the country.

        • His favorite president is big government Teddy Roosevelt. He praises huge “national greatness” federal spending boondoggles (rail, canals, NASA). He’s championed goofball techno-mystics and called for a world governing body to help people deal with all the confusing technology that surrounds us. He lobbied for FANNIE (despite his lies). He’s an enviro-nutjob. He supports expanding medicare. He’s a protectionist who supports huge ethanol subsidies. He’s an imperialist who giggles at the thought of launching new wars. If that’s what it means to be “clearly conservative”, then Obama is George Washington.

          • You must have been sleeping for the past decade. I would guess your an obama lover anyway. Newt is a better choice than the commie-pinko bed-wetting socialist obumble.

              Obama and Newt are the same person below the skin.

                  Losing battle, Jim, first, RP has no chance of getting the GOP nomination, and if he goes third party, he has no chance of winning the election. All that will do is guarantee another 4 years for Obamanation to “finish the job.” You guys rant about RP’s stand on constitutional principles, yet what part of “We the People” doesn’t RP understand. He may have the best of intentions, but he is blind to what he is doing, driving his personal agenda over the good of the nation.

                • Well said Moose. If RP “loves” America so much, why would he put himself in a position to siphon votes away for a candidate who can beat O’Bama? RP stands NO CHANCE of winning the presidency.

                • That statement is insane! Who gives a damn if somebody can beat Obama if he isn’t better for the country than Obama is? I have always been a good little republican drone and voted for the republican candidate. NO MORE! I will vote my conscience. I would rather have total freedom than just a “Little more freedom than I had before”. Newt has a despicable voting record in many regards, which is well known to all. When it all goes to hell either under Obama or the new republican “savior” that will just keep up the status quo. I will say I voted my damn conscience for a man who did more with the constitution then wipe his ass with it!

                  Sadly it seems the GOP has found THEIR candidate.
                  Same thing happened with McCain.
                  Totally ignored the people and shoved McCain down our throats.

                  All the talk of taking back our country our White-house no more RINOS?
                  Where have all those people gone?

                  We had people backing anyone that was not a born and bred Politician.
                  Now we have people claiming better than the OTHER guy..
                  Better than the Other Guy lost a seat in DC ..but on principal it was the right move.
                  Sent Shivers through the GOP..

                  Sadly the GOP is getting comfy all over again.. What Have they done but whine, we got the BEST we could get.. BUDGET cuts?!?! and our House Leader is pulling compromise or golfing with Obama?
                  Is that what Newt voters want just another passive, go along, pat each others backs, Congress Senate and President ?

                  Grow some and get behind Dr. Paul.. all your getting is the truth from him and ” lip service” from egotists..

                  Turned my stomach to read he took out a *new contract, promised fidelity to his latest wife.. that is what you want leading America? His mate is none of my concern, however, once a cheater always a cheater. ..

                  Instead of town halls he is holding books signings. Shows me right off he is in it for the MONEY and I can imagine will attempt to take his side arm on Better vacations then Moochelle got..

                  Wake up people either we are serious enough to stop the same old or we get back in line, serfs for the GOP. Stay the same course and relive the nightmare over and again.

                  Ron Paul or we gain nothing..

                  Newt a bigger ego then Obama and mark my words he will attempt to out due EVERYTHING O did. Starting with the vacations, the bracelet, the designers and imagine how many assistants his “Callista” will need..

                  I really don’t care about Newt’s private life and neither should anyone. So he cheated on the wives, maybe they deserved it. You only read the what the media wants you to read. As for RP, he is unelectable. He has some good ideas but he is a nut job. He is an isolationist and in the world I live in that can’t be the US position. I am an ABOIST! All that is happening is the same as last presidential election. The Driveby Media is giving us the choice it wants on the ballots so that BerrackO wins and finishes destroying our way of life. Remember, BerrackO has gone against ALL that is American and has gone against all of our staunch allies. Remember when he sent back the bust of Winston Churchill. This man is out to destroy the US. If Newt is elected, I will vote for Newt. If RP is elected I will vote for RP. If Bachman is elected I will vote for Bachman. It’s not a Democrat/Republican thing. It’s saving our country from socialism/communism. BerrackO IS a COMMIE.

                • I like your approach. You say who you like but also say that you will support others as well if needed to beat Obama. I have considered Newt also and feel he could debate Obama very well and the polls show this. At this point I am backing Ron Paul but will also do what needs to be done in November. But my fight will not stop there because my goal is limited government, fiscal responsibility, and free markets so I will have to keep going for more change and to take out more incumbents in 2014. If this is all of our goals then we will all ultimately win in the end.

                  Are you totally insane? Any of the Republican candidates would be better for the country than Obama, the Marxist, who is committed to the destruction of the country. Ron Paul doesn’t stand a chance of being elected President, either as a Republican party candidate, or as a third party candidate.

                • Our original patriots said “Give me liberty or give me death” I say “Give me a moral and good president. Who’s highest value is the constitution or give me none”! No In between, no compromise. If the presidential nominee does not support my values he does not get my vote. Every patriot on earth should agree with that reasoning. If you do not, you are committing mental fraud, and reasoning abortion! Never again will I vote any other way, EVER! You are probably right. Ron Paul probably doesn’t have a chance. Since he represents my ideals though, I would be a sell out not to cast my vote for the man. People who vote just to get somebody out of office need to examine seriously the ramifications of voting that way. Maybe they will oust the bad guy. To often though you get something even worse, because instead of voting for the man who you agree with. You vote for the one you think can win. If you oust a tyrant you better be DAMN sure you have something better to replace him with otherwise you end up with Egypt,Iran,Libya, the list goes on and on. You may be right that “Any republican candidate will be better than Obama”. You know what buddy, Cat shit might taste better than dog shit to! I choose to eat neither and go with the steak!

                  I totally agree, but I think RP has a better chance than people give him credit. I have had it with holding my nose when I cast my ballot as I believe have many in the electorate! Give it a month or so. Newt’s campaign will implode and when that happens, Ron Paul will pick up most of his supporters. Worst case scenario, the Marxist in Chief wins in 2012. The Republicans will pick up the Senate and retain the House i.e Obama’s agenda is halted!

                • Hey Deduce, I totally agree with you. If RP breaks out and the crap stops, they will not be able to stop him and it will be a land side from that point. This is what they are trying to prevent.

                  Oh, and if someone wants to say I am wrong then stop the negative untrue attacks and watch what happens. Dare you.

                  I’ll agree with you in one area, that we have to get back to Constitutional government,as interpreted by the Founders. Both parties have only given lip service to that document, their primary focus being power and privilege and the retention of same.
                  I too am tired of voting for the lesser of two evils, but we are at a tipping point in this country, and the primary focus needs to be getting Obama out of office in 2012. Once that is accomplished, we need to get rid of the establishment Republicans, replacing them with candidates dedicated to the downsizing of the federal government and dedicated to the Constitution.

                • Why do you have to be so negative about Ron Paul when he is actually doing pretty well. He is statistically tied with Santorum, and Mitt where they have 7 delegates each. Why not just talk positive about the person you support because that will not win over me to support your guy if you are attacking mine.

                • Anonymous

                  You sound exactly like a friend of mine who helped Clinton win by voting his conscience for Ross Perot. Ron Paul is the new Ross Perot and will be remembered in the history books exactly like Perot and Nader are. Worthless idiots who helped the wrong guy become president. If you are a conservative (which most Paul supporters are not) then you couldn’t stand by and watch Obama win another 4 years. Most of Paul’s support comes from college age kids who believe he will legalize all drugs and cut back the military and get us out of the war zones. Anyone who believes this is an idiot and anyone who wants these things is a libertarian fool.

                • Your friend didn’t help Clinton win! Bush did. Maybe Bush should have dropped out of the race and let Perot run solo so the vote wasn’t split OHHHHH that’s right. It is only bad if a third party splits the vote not the republican right? If republicans think the vote shouldn’t get split maybe the republican candidate should drop out and let the third party candidate run solo against opposition. Then third party supporters could tell republicans to “Hold your nose and vote for our guy” You are right. Most Paul supporters do want drugs legalized and history tells us [impossible to even debate by the way] that prohibiting products people want especially addictive ones leads to crime,fraud, gangs, and federal spending! Remember Copone? You are also right that we want our troops we pay for back home to protect us here which by the way is the only thing the Constitution authorizes! [again inarguable point, it is simply true.] These guys are not “worthless” they are patriot constitutionalists. How do you know his ideas are wrong or won’t work? Can you tell me where in the last hundred years we have tried them to know? Libertarians are what conservatives claim to be and what liberals wish they could be!

                  Ron Paul 2012

                • Obama is better than NONE of the GOP candidates – criminal actions, socialist/communist endorsements, least transparent of any POTUS ever, spends MILLIONS to hide personal records, Both he and wife lost their law licenses, a law he had just signed required him to fire 4 czars – he refused to follow that law, highest welfare, highest unemployment, largest deficit in just 3 years, worst political cronyism, only Christian belief is GOD D*** America, criminal associations would not allow him or wife to accept employment in the FBI, He passed 2800+ page ObamaCare and we are STILL learning the price we will have to pay for that, endorsed by Hamas, Unions, SEIU, worked as attorney for ACORN before he lost his license and ACORN was disqualified for fed funds so they split into 4 different differently named groups so Obama could re-fund them, etc., etc., etc.

                • I agree with you 100% but the fact remains that the GOP has been relying on just what you state for a very long time. I really believe that this election will split the republican party and give obama his unearned victory. Just like when Ross Perot split the vote with GH Bush giving Clinton the victory, Paul or another conservative candidate will emerge as a 3rd party candidate. Many people will vote for the 3rd party inspite of giving the win to obama. It will be a matter of principle to the many disgruntled conservatives who are tired of having their vote taken for granted by the republican establishment. I believe that is just what the democrat party and the media have been planning. obama can not win by running on his record one on one. His record is one of monumental failure.

                  That messes up the status-quo, and we just cannot have that!

                • First off I have been on many blogs and the attacks against Ron Paul are just terrible and untrue. It is okay to make your pick but I could not even say I was an RP supporter and then have any kind of dialog with anyone about why I like my guy and who I may also consider without attacks everywhere. Kind of seems like 2007-2008 where in the end I also worked for McCain but yet I was to blame for him losing. If your message sucks and you do not want to limit government, and you lose, it is you and your candidates fault for not working to get the votes. But if you choose to push away votes do not blame them for your loss!

                • RP? Is Ross Perot running again? Look what happened the last that twit …. Oh, not Ross Perot. Ron Paul, you say? Well, that’s different then. Only not very much.

                • He is wiser than anyone who calls themselves ‘conservative’ yet supports big government Newt. Newt and Obama are the same. Look at Newt’s history. If you have to hold your nose while voting for a scumbag, then everyone loses.

                  Of course, somehow republicans have come to believe that “Peace, Freedom and Prosperity” are nut job ideals. Go figure.

                  How about people who call themselves conservative and vote for a man who would weaken the country by legalizing drugs, allowing illegal aliens to come here in droves, and wants to weaken our military even more than the liberals do? That’s what Ron Paul will do if he has his way (which he won’t because the house and senate will thankfully stop his crazy ideas). He’s a libertarian so why doesn’t he run as one? He is crazy and will only help libtards like you make us suffer through 4 more years of Obama.

                • Obviously you do not understand his foreign policy or his stand on any of the other issues you have mentioned. But not fare for the Newt attacks either. Really we all should focus on limited government, fiscal responsibility, and free markets. If we can do this and work together we will be better off and have a higher chance of succeeding. Remember this, the elite in the GOP want Romney and I do not like someone making my choice for me. Personally I think Ron Paul sends a bigger message to the GOP but either way we have to get past this hurdle if we are to ever get a go at Barrack. One thing I do want to say in RPs defense though, there is no candidate who will have the power of all branches and will not be able to get hardly crap done so to think one person like Ron Paul will weaken this country is just ludicrous. But again you were just returning the favor for the Newt attack which was not fair either.

                • It is talk like this that pushes people away. You do this and then later when you lose you blame us when the blame really just comes back to people like you who turn off people like us. Last I looked RP was doing very well and you may not like that but it is for that reason you should stop with the negative attacks because you have no idea how many people you are pushing away and you will then lose.

                • This is probably the worst election regarding choices for conservatives that has come along in many years. I thought the 2008 election was the pits but this fiasco takes the cake hands down. I predict another obama victory thanks to the republican establishment. The 2012 election will forever doom the GOP to a third party status as a true conservative party will be established and will flourish in time for 2016. It is imperative that the Tea Party takes control and begins in ernest to develope candidates for 2016. What they have done this year is unforgivable. Good bye and good riddence to the GOP.

                • If Ron Paul was for real, wouldn’t he, at least, question the Constitutionality of Obama’s birth? He said NOTHING! And then voted for confirmation of the election results in early 2009, because his election results were in that vote as well. Also, I agree with Moose.

                  It is a mystery why we are debating about either Romney or Newt with all their baggage when we have Bachmann, who is clean of scandle, articulate, extremely knowledgable of foreign issues due to her position of the Securty Committee, a genuine conservative with a track record of not buckling under fire. Plus, she would trump the first partially-Black president with a fully-Woman candidate to bring in the woman vote to counter Obama’s black base. Add a Hispanic VP and the Democrats would watch two of their bases dissolve before their eyes. Michelle is like a like a wide-open football reciever franticly waving inside the goal zone, while the quarterback is focusing on two other recievers completely covered by the opposition. Come on!! Wake up!! And if you think she can’t win because she is a Woman, you are part of the problem, not the solution.

                • Newt is intelligent, but he is a ‘liberal’ who supported a single payer mandate, climate change legislation (along with 400 other co sponsored bills with Pelosi), the forming of the unconstitutional department of education, the irresponsible loans from Freddie and fannie (in fact, while Ron Paul warned of the danger caused by these loans, Newt attacked him). Newt has been a friend to lobbyists and special interests (even bragged about it). His spending and domestic policy match Obama’s quite nicely.

                • Both labeled as crazy because they believe in Peace and Freedom? I’m in. I support peace and freedom.

                  I also support cutting government size and scope. Are you a loony like me or do you want papa government to let you keep suckling from their teet while they protect you from ‘evil’ and yourself?

                Ron Paul has more in common with Obama than Newt does. Both Paul and Obama hate America. They both abuse the constitution for their own gain. They both hate the military and want to weaken it. They both such at foreign affairs and they are both bat crap crazy.

              You mean that same Newt who gave us Department of Education in 1979?
              That same Newt who took 1.8 Million in bribes from Freddie Mac looting the tax payer?
              That same Newt who took 37 Million in bribes from medical lobbyists to push ObamaCare?
              That same Newt who gave us Fairness Doctrine, so we would be forced to listen to Rachel Maddow and Olbmermann?
              That same Newt who gave us gun control, so when Obama and Newt invade and burn our house we are totally helpless?

              Newt is the greatest enemy of America. Newt will bury us.

              • The Fairness Doctrine was a policy of the United States Federal Communications Commission (FCC), introduced in 1949, that required the holders of broadcast licenses to both present controversial issues of public importance and to do so in a manner that was, in the Commission’s view, honest, equitable and balanced. The FCC decided to eliminate the Doctrine in 1987, and in August 2011 the FCC formally removed the language that implemented the Doctrine

              • Just a life tip for you Sanjay, if you want anyone to actually take you seriously and not just laugh at you like a funny clown try being factual. I know that is tough for you liberals, but give it a try you might find that people pay you more notice.

              • angelccorr

                @Sanyay, JIMMY CARTER created the Department of Education, and the Fariness Doctrine was created long before Newt was ever in politics! Newt was against Obama care and consulted for Freddie Mac.
                It is terrible to try and destroy someone’s character with lies.

            • An “Obama lover” criticises big government, federal spending, Fannie, environmentalism, entitlement expansion, protectionism, and an interventionist foreign policy? Have you ever once turned your brain on, Bob? Newt is just as much a commie-pinko bed-wetting socialist as Obama.

            • Notice, no substance in your response. No rebuttal to the facts, just an emotional appeal to support the “home team”. Thinking is dead – and with Newt, so will be conservatism.

            • Uhhh and who is the one who has been sleeping there Bobo. Newt is just another slimeball like obama and pelosi look at his record you twit.

            • Yes, ANY GOP candidate is orders of magnitude better than Obama. You can vote your heart in 2016 if Obama has not already become our dictator, but in 2012, if you want a chance to beat Obama, you MUST vote, and you MUST vote for the GOP primary winner – anything else re-elects Obama!

          • No – it’s even worse, Gingrich’s favorite president is the OTHER Roosevelt – FDR. Gingrich is fascinated with social engineering – and not the “right wing” kind either.

              You guys are such retards. I don’t know how many times Newt has said that Renaldus Magnus is his favorite president. You don’t listen to him so you just suck up the leftist talking points as if they were gospel. How pathetic.

              • Ronald Reagan was a deficit spender. Of course Newt like him.

                Ouch, did I just hurt your feelings? Ronald gives you ‘conservatives’ tingles just like Obama does Chris Matthews – but Ronald started the trend of government growth and spending. If you like big spenders, like Reagan, then Newt (or Obama, same difference) is your guy!

                For me? I like small government, peace and freedom. Which is why I don’t support Newt. (Or Obama)

Sorry Newt is a much better choice than Obama, no matter what false dichotomies the Obamabots dream up!!

              Really, is that all you’ve got?

          • I have voted republican for nearly 20 years and will only cast my vote for Ron Paul. Newt is a joke candidate. there are so many things that I disagree with him and romney that I can’t even begin to name them. Ron Paul 2012

            • You do that. Then sit back and enjoy 4 more years of O’Bama. I only hope I get the chance to ‘thank you’ personally. Idiots like you shouldn’t have the right to vote.

              • Do you hate Obama, or his policies? I think his policies are the problem, not his unlikable personality.

                Now Obama supports healthcare mandate (so does Newt)
                Obama thinks government can save the world (so does Newt)
                Obama loves special interests and lobbyists (so does Newt)
                Obama thinks medicare needs expansion, not reformation (so does Newt)
                Obama thinks we need to be in 4 wars (Newt also! Plus Newt supports one more, so make it 5!)
                Obama supports social engineering through freddie and fannie and subsidies (you guesed it, so does Newt!)
                Obama has a character problem (Newt might even beat Obama here. 300k paid due to ethics violations. REPUBLICAN senators on the ethics probe have vocalized their inability to support Newt because of what they know relating to the ethics probe. And that is his professional life… his private life is just as bad.)

                So you can get rid of the annoying Obama and replace him with the marshmellow man (Newt). He will look different and sound different, but he won’t act different.

                Of course, you will think you saved the world (and the country) by voting in another corporate shill who loves lobbyists, big government and corruption.

                And yet those who support the only consistent candidate who has fought Newt’s unconstitutional bills and programs for 30 years are ‘crazy’ and ‘don’t deserve to vote’

                The fact that the Republican party has labeled peace and freedom as ‘fringe’ is the reason the Republican party needs to die.

The time of those who have brought us trillions in debt, wars we don’t need, and assholes that would rather tow the party line then do the right thing is OVER! Even if Paul doesn’t win his the election his ideology has already changed the political landscape and FOR THE BETTER! You can’t convince us that the millions toiling in prison for smoking a plant is right, you can’t convince us going to war with two countries when the terrorists never came from those countries is right, you can’t convince us that swapping one constitutionally destructive tyrant for another is right, and most of all you can NEVER convince us that fifty years of policing the world has been a good idea! We have proof, and history on our side! How many times must this man be proven right in Iran we got a dictator, in Libya genocide, in Egypt the Muslim brotherhood, in Iraq an insurgency lying dormant, in Afghanistan Al-Qaeda is stronger than ever! Oh how history has proven Ron Paul right! He said the economy would tank as long as our money was controlled by a paper system allowed to create bubbles through inflation and deflation, pop them, and rape us all! It’s happening NOW! You are living through it! How much more do you people need? You seriously want to consider trading this man for NEWT GINGRICH? Get a hold of yourselves!

        • “Finish destroying the country”? You mean, trying to undo what your party did to the country from 2000-2008? Come on, that’s just biased. What has Obama done to destroy the country? Get us out of Iraq and end that black whole of spending. Find and kill Bin Laden? Approve and execute the strategy in Libya that ended up perfectly? Try and pass health care legislation for poor people? Stave off a depression and at least show some job growth? Watch the Dow Jones basically double since he took office?

          You had your 8 years of plundering and warmongering. We get another 4 to try and undo the damage.

          Halliburton Rules!

          • You forgot to mention that he also cured cancer and made broccoli taste like cheeseburgers.

            • Naw…I don’t like cheeseburgers ’cause I’m a card-carrying liberal vegetarian! Ha ha…seriously, not a huge Obama fan, but I am liberal. But to accuse Obama of destroying the country and then propose to “fix” it by repeating the same policies and philosophies that the right espoused for 8 years of foreign and domestic policy disasters is just not fair.

              • Anonymous

                And where was the break from those policies with the current administration?

                The Bush administration increased the regulatory state at the fastest pace since Nixon.

                Did the GSE’s Freddie and Fannie get torn down with Obama? Did the idea of public-private partnerships go away with the new administration?

                Did the Federal Reserve get stipped of the power to create credit bubbles by artificially lowering the interest rates? Can it still monetize govt. and banker debt with us getting the inflation tax? Did the FED get stripped of the power to centrally plan the economy.

                Has the foreign policy changed?

                Has spending been reduced? Bush increased the size of govt. faster than any administration since LBJ. Obama has just tripled-down on what his predecessors were doing.

                The parties keep the same basic system in place.

                Ron Paul is advocating something different. You are too caught up into the false D/R paradigm to think straight. The party establishments are nearly identical. They just argue at the margins. The core remains the same.

              • “But to accuse Obama of destroying the country and then propose to “fix” it by repeating the same policies and philosophies that the right espoused for 8 years of foreign and domestic policy disasters is just not fair.”

                dude please do some real research, I’m honestly not trying to be condescending or rude, Bin Laden is a product of the C.I.A, no conspiracy theory, conspiracy FACT, it is WELL documented and not even concidered a secret the ties and relationship between our gov’t and the Bin Laden family. And thats just ONE area to research about your gov’t, start there and just go down the rabbit hole…when you come back up THEN we can talk…

                  But I have a really difficult time believing that a cover-up would not be exposed in this age of information and technology. There is not irrefutable evidence that 9/11 was an inside job, although I would not put it past the former peeps to pull something off like that.

            Out of Iraq? We’ve got a military base there the size of the vatican. The U.S. govt. needs 17,000 private contractors there permanently. That’s in addition to thousands of enlisted men.

            Checked out Afghanistan lately. The number of troops has went up. There are covert wars in Pakistan and Yemen. Obama invaded Libya. It’s chaos there now. A U.S. drone was just captured by the Iranians. Have you noticed the U.S. government’s saber rattling with Iran of late?

            The U.S. military budget is at an all-time high.

            The health care legislation just takes us further down the socialist/corporatist road we’ve been on. We haven’t had a free market in health care in 50-years. We don’t need more govt. there. Bush expanded Medicare at the fastest pace since its inception. Obama is just doubling-down on Bush.

            The monetary system (Federal Reserve, fiat paper currency, planned interest rates) is still in place. It only benefits gov.t and finance. Foreign policy stays the same.

            Same unconstitutional govt. dept.’s are in place.

            It’s the same old same old. Nothing of substance has changed.

            I’ll be voting for Ron Paul. He’s offering a real choice.

            • Good points.

              Like I said, not Obama’s biggest fan, although I will probably vote for him. My problem is that Obama is not liberal enough…hasn’t gone far enough! Yup, I said it.

              I am against interventionism. I am for more government regulation of corrupt corporations and I am for less regressive taxes. I am for more spending on education and against more military spending. I am in favor of gay marriage, 420 legalization, great dark beer, loud Gibson guitars through Marshall amps, and hot chicks.

              Ron Paul and I don’t agree on too much, except for the non-interventionist military policy.

                Too bad Obama renewed Patriot Act.

                Paul is against all corporate welfare. Obama picks and chooses. Paul is against mandates, subsidies, and public-private partnerships. Those are all corporatist measures.

                Too bad that he doesn’t understand that the Federal Reserve is nothing more than a state-sanctioned banking cartel that is the source of the booms/busts and inflation. Inflation is a hidden tax. The people who get the new FED funny money first, i.e. finance, govt. contractors, subsidized areas, are the ones who get its full purchasing power before prices have risen to convey the increased supply of currency.

                Everyone else gets the new currency after prices have risen. Wages never catch up. The more dollar debasement/inflation, the greater the transfer or purchasing power/wealth.

                Paul is also much better than Obama on civil liberties. Obama has ramped up the war on drugs.

                The party establishments are taking the people for a ride. It’s a mock war. The parties only vigorously debate along a narrow band of “acceptable” establishment thought. There is no choice with Clinton, Bush, Obama, Newt, Romney, et al.

                Ron Paul is a break from all of this.

                Our monetary system is going down. That’s what is going on. Paul is the only who understands what is going on. That’s why he was able to predict everything that happened with the banks, Freddie/Fannie, stimulus, TARP, etc.

              • Do you know what Obama has done over the past three years? Basd on “I am against interventionism. I am for more government regulation of corrupt corporations and I am for less regressive taxes. I am for more spending on education and against more military spending. I am in favor of gay marriage, 420 legalization, great dark beer, loud Gibson guitars through Marshall amps, and hot chicks.” I don’t know how you can say you will probably vote for Obama. Apparently you are NOT “against interventionism. I am for more government regulation of corrupt corporations and I am for less regressive taxes. I am for more spending on education and against more military spending. I am in favor of gay marriage, 420 legalization, great dark beer, loud Gibson guitars through Marshall amps, and hot chicks.”

                  Bush increased federal govt. spending by three-fold. Result? The D.C. schools spend more per pupil than any other school system in the country. Result?

                  It’s not the money. It’s the system. There has to be more diversity. The federal govt. forces a one-size-fits-all system down everyone’s throat. That means there is no point of reference. How do you know if what you are doing is good when you can’t compare it to anything else?

                  Private schools, vouchers, home-schooling, or even community cooperative schools seem the best bet to me.

                  Also, govt. subsidization of higher education has pushed cost into the stratosphere. Colleges just set tuition high enough to capture all the subsidies. If costs were has high as they are now without the subsidies, no one could afford it. Colleges would be forced to make administrative cuts in order to lower prices. They certainly wouldn’t stand for no butts in the seats. There would be a tuition sale.

                  It’s my position that whatever govt. touches it destroys. Govt. is force. I prefer cooperation, civil society, and the market.

                  Look what happened when govt. wanted everyone to have a home. Freddie/Fannie were created to ostensibly lower housing costs. They did the exact opposite in conjuction with Federal Reserve’s cheap currency/artificially low interest rate policy.

                Ryan…have you heard of “regulatory capture”? Firms like Monsanto can strongly influence the USDA, firms like Goldman Sachs strongly influence and guide the SEC. Firms like Merck and GSK staff and employee and wink promise good jobs to the FDA decision makers in order to guide the decisions in ways they want? makes sense right? so when you argue for “more regulation” what really happens is you give Lockheed Martin, GS, GSK, Merck, GE and Monsanto MORE power…that is why they gladly support mainstream democrats and republicans… they take useful idiots that support more regulations and use that power to hurt the medium and small sized businesess…so to people who watch american business closely it was no surprise to see what Obama has done, he is VERY VERY similar to George W Bush if you support Obama then it is baiscally the same as supporting Cheney and you are dumb if you don’t think about this more and look into Ron Paul or someone else who actually wants to decrease the abilitiy of the corrupt companies to destroy individualism. You keep voting for democrats or mainstream republicans and your children will live in a George Orwell type world and you won’t be abel to afford dark beer and a good guitar and you will probably be in prison because the democrats are horrible ont he drug war issues as well. prison population is still rising with obama…Ron Paul wants to END THE DRUG WAR…MERCK AND GLAX SMITH KLINE AND ANHEISER BUSCH DON’t

                  BAM!!! Bullseye!

              • Ron supports gay marriage and supports 420 legalization. He is pro freedom. If you’re not hurting anyone, you aren’t limited with your freedoms.

                If you want regulation of corrupt corporations, why don’t you want regulation against corrupt government?

                Maybe you should continue to educate yourself about the issues because once you actually understand whats going on, youll realize you agree with Ron more than you think.

                  Except Ron Paul doesn’t favor freedom for women, gays and others under oppressive Islamist policies overseas. He could care less about fighting Islamism. How can we have freedom, if Islamist imperialists are forcing our wives/girlfriends to wear ugly black burqas from head to toe. Hey Ron, fighting for freedom includes fighting against Islamism; the biggest threat we face today against preserving our personal freedoms.

                • Let them fight their own revolution for change. We had to! There are literally no Islamist/Muslims in the United States that have ever made your wife/girlfriend do anything, ever! Terrorism is not a country, or a people it is a tactic. Terrorists are criminals and nothing more. Just like crazy assholes that shoot up schools, or kill their wives. This is a law enforcement issue, not a military one. I would much rather have my tax paid soldiers here at home watching my back then overseas getting shot trying to police the world.

                • Chris Mallory

                  And how exactly is any “islamist imperialist” going to make any woman other than his wife or daughter wear a burqa?
                  All we have to do is have a sane immigration policy and Islam is no threat to us. First we need a mortorium on all immigration for 20 years. We need to remove all non citizens from our shores and tell all dual citizens they have a choice America or their other country, this includes dual Israeli/American citizens.

                Ron Paul absolutely sucks on foreign policy. His economic views are great. But his foreign policy is an utter disaster. He’s a 50%-er. He gets 100% of the equation right; and the other 50% (foreign policy) 100% wrong.

                The only legitimate function of government is national defense. We need to eliminate all other government programs.

          What is conservative about Newt?

          His support of a health care mandate?
          His support of federal government control over global warming?
          His support (and vote in creation of) the Department of Education?
          Supporting Fannie and Freddie?
          Support the Medicare Drug program?

          Where are the truly conservative ideas from Newt?
          Now if you said his record in office was clearly REPUBLICAN I would agree. He will support the same idea coming from a Republican that he will reject if it comes from a Democrat.

          I like Newt, always have but a conservative he is not. America needs a conservative at least as radical as Obama was Progressive.

          Obama achieved a 50+ year Progressive dream, in federal health care. Can our nominee achieve the 50+ year conservative dream of a federal government firmly behind the confines of the Constitution (which means ending everything from Social Security to Food Stamps)?

        • Anonymous

          Better check that record. He is for the Federal Reserve centrally planning the economy. How is that free market?

          He voted for Brady Bill.

          He was in favor of TARP.

          He has never proposed eliminating the income tax.

          He voted for the Dept. of Education.

          He called the GSE’s (Freddie/Fannie) excellent models in an interview with Freddie officers in April 2007.

          Go ask Joe Scarbrough to Tom Coburn about Newt.

          Newt issues fiery rhetoric about limited government, but in the end he always makes peace with the other statists.

          Newt and Romney hi-jack the language of free markets and liberty in the service of advancing big government.

          The Financial Times had it right today when they wrote, “Newt is a stupid person’s idea of what a smart person should sound like.”

            Ron Paul is another Neville Chamberlain with the same appeasement philosophy. Chamberlain thought appeasing the Nazis would keep a war from happening. The rest is history and Chamberlain gave the Nazis enough time and cooperation for them to build their war machine.
            How can Glenn Beck support Ron Paul when Glenn supports Israel? The Israelis have bent over backward with the Palestinians by returning land, giving monetary support, medical care, etc.. Yet, the Palestinians have said there is no peace until Israel and the Jews are gone! If Ron Paul were to become president, He would appease the terrorist like Chamberlain appeased the Nazis. We would be in a world war in no time.
            Glenn says he hates Ron Paul’s foreign policy, yet he would risk the whole world for opposing Newt Gingrich. In 2008 Beck also supported the bail-outs. He now says if you oppose Obama and support Newt Gingrich, you must be a racist! Beck is the one that is starting to sound progressive with that statement.

            • for one thing, saying israel is great to palestinians is absurd. totally silly…….ben guirrion said, “we stole their land, i wouldn’t trust negotiating with us. can you blame them.” go google it. you are mixed up…..now run along little moron drone. run-a-long…and youtube this…..NYPD POLICE TRANSMISSION MURAL VAN MOSSAD. get a hold of your self, you’re spewing insanity…..watch the youtube vid. my friend, a colonal in the military was said to have started a campaign over this. the first guy that tried disappeared.

Alliances should be mutually beneficial not one sided like our alliance [which we don’t even have a treaty for] with Israel. So tell me why my hard earned tax dollars should go to a nation that can support itself? Why do I have to pay? Or Bob? Or Bill? Or Fred? Or Joe? Should we pay them our money in foreign aid just because they exist? The Israeli’s can feed themselves, protect themselves, [finest military in the whole region] and wipe their own asses without the United States standing next to them with a roll of toilet paper! Ron Paul got this one exactly right. He is not appeasing anybody he just doesn’t fall for bullshit propaganda that a thinking man can easily see through.

Just the way I talk, nobody is trying to silence or sensor you. I apologize if it offended you. Now instead of whining that somebody told you to shut up “Boo Hoo” how bout you defend your ridiculous position’s Mr. Sensitivity! Also if the only reason you don’t support a candidate on his positions is because you don’t like supporters, you should not be giving anybody lectures on maturity!

[Did I get it right now?] If you feel insulted when somebody calls you sensitive then stop being so sensitive! Now lets try to start this over and have a real conversation. Above is my position on Israel can you provide ANY facts or even well thought out opinions on why I am wrong? Or do you want to keep trying to make the case that I am a hypocrite because I said the words “shut up” in a sentence and that somehow I have magical powers, and internet authority, to sensor you with these words, therefore, since I believe in free speech as a libertarian I am a hypocrite. If we are all done with that now, maybe you can go ahead and start producing some facts please.

          George, it’s his RECORD we object to. It is clearly NOT CONSERVATIVE.

        • his record is clearly criminal Ron Paul a far more conservative, moral and trustworthy candidate…..duh

        • “but his record in office is clearly conservative.”

          Yeah like cosponsoring 418 bills with Nancy Pelosi…

        • His record is far from clearly conservative and his moral record is zero. You apparently know nothing about Newt. Do some research.

          are you ignorant or just plain STUPID George?!

          Gingrich has NOT ONE conservative bone in his reptilian-like body! He is FOR healthcare mandates. He is FOR overseas spending. He is FOR big government!

        We cannot afford another four years of Obama. Obama loves big government too, hates capitalism, put in a healthcare bill that will destroy the healthcare system, and does not like this country that much. I don’t see how anyone can vote for him for anything unless they are a liberal, leftist, socialist, marxist.

        • Anonymous

          I agree. That means we can’t afford to hand him a second term with the election of Barack H. Gingrich or Barack H. Romney. There are fraternal triplets. They are all progressives. Republicans are getting taken for a ride…again.

          Ron Paul can win!!! I’ve seen poll after poll with him matched against Obama. He absolutely kills Obama in the independents.

          Obama is going down regardless of who the nominee is because price inflation is about to go ballistic. The M2 money supply figures are up 30% year over year. That’s a lot of monetary debasement. Double-digit price inflation is here by the summer. No one gets re-elected in that environment.

          What we’ve got to make sure of is that we don’t send another progressive to take his place. Gary Johnson or Ron Paul are both good choices.

          • The republican money is so scared right now…like this article… The Right Scoop?

            And why should any pro-defenser, Reaganite, anti-Islamist voter support Ron Paul? Third Party or in the GOP? What does Ron Paul have to offer those of us who see Islam as the greatest threat to our liberties today? Absolutely nothing! He doesn’t even acknowledge Islamo-Fascism exists. Hell, every week at some campaign event the guy flirts with 9/11 Trutherism; just last week suggesting Bush was “gleeful” over the attacks.

              Those with a connected cerebral cortex don’t see a religion as the greatest threat to our liberties. Probably because going broke and becoming a police state are of far greater consequence.

        The nation will not be the only thing destroyed by 2016. For every retiring supreme court justice, Obama will get to stack the court with radicals who will set policy in this country for centuries! Forget Christmas, it won’t be a federal holiday anymore. And homosexuals and illegals? They will rule the roost. As for Ron Paul, get serious! Newt is the lesser of the evils, and better than the candidate the Repubs put up last time (McCain) or the also rans the might have been the nominess (Palin, anyone?).

        • No way 8 years of Newt is better than 4 years of Obama + 8 years of a actual conservative who supports limited government. Newt is the consummate scum bag. Last thing we need is a republican controlled congress willing to support Newt’s new boondoggles simply because he has an R by his name. Congress will check Obama’s power until we get a real candidate in 2016. Anyone but Newt.

          Ah, the lesser of two evils.

      • If you really think Newt is for big gov’t, I strongly suggest that you review his record. He is one of the most powerful Conservative leaders the country has ever seen. He passed the Contract with America through vicious liberal opposition. He is the only person to have balanced the budget, also through vicious liberal opposition. Want further proof, look at there the money is now. Lobbyists are pouring money into Obama and Romney, but not a penny for Newt. If he is so in the pocket of big money, why is he being so viciously attacked now? Lots of name calling, very little of substance. The few attacks of substance have been knocked out of the park by Newt’s answers in the debates. I admit, taking money from Freddie/Fanny not great, but hey, he was in private practice at the time and who is he to say no to a million bucks for basically giving them advice. The system is completely corrupt, I don’t doubt that he would fix the system if given the chance.

          Newt loves public-private partnerships. He is a statist.

          He supported TARP.

        To Ed and your 189 supporters — Obama got elected 3 years ago and this is what conservatives have to choose from now, Gingrich (a disgusting, adulterous fraud and frequent liberal running on the OWS platform) and Romney (a liberal running as a conservative).

        I think your strategy has a prominent flaw, you nitwit.

    • The only way to get to the GOP to put up a conservative candidate is to credibly commit not to vote for centrists. Otherwise, as base voters they assume you will vote for them no matter what and have the incentive to put up someone only marginally more right wing than Obama. If the base voters vocally endorse the GOP candidate no matter what, every four years the GOP will get another middle of the road socialist.

    If Newt Gingrich becomes the choice there’s no doubt that there will be a second (even more ruinous) Obama term. Do you even realize that Newt Gingrich will just continue Obama’s policies with hardly a change and, in some instances, probably make them worse. Such as Obamacare (which is a hard policy to make worse than it already is) But ‘both sides of the fence’ player Gingrich will find a way.

        • tiamoaz58

          You must be losing your mind Aline Thompson. I’ve listened to Newt’s speeches for three years online, and anyone can go to You Tube, and listen to his speeches that he’s given, even before he decided to run, and if you think he wants to make gov. larger than you haven’t been paying attn. Even in the debates he said otherwise. He said he would do away with the EPA, and put in a MUCH smaller institution that would allow the states to stop being so heavily regulated, and instead, help them to be freed up! He’s for our own energy in every way. He would do away with Freddie & Fannie. He even states that he would do away with the entire 9th circuit court! He said Jefferson did away with whole courts who became rogue. He said you can’t fix them…and you have to do what Jefferson did…just abolish them. He DOES want the Fed audited. Where do you get this stuff? Have you even paid one bit of attention? He wants to take down the unions from FORCING people to belong to them! He wants to privatize PART of SS for those under 55 the way they have in Galveston, TX, and Chile…which is EXACTLY what Herman Cain wanted…and he cited the same thing Newt did, and quoted Newt many times! He’s not for No Child Left Behind, but abolishing the Dept. of Education, and putting schools back in the STATES HANDS. He’s ALL FOR THE 10TH AMENDMENT. When they asked Romney what was different between him & Newt the other night on the debate he could only think of two things…and one of them was mining rocks on the moon (what’s so odd about that? Kennedy said he wanted to send a man TO the moon, and they laughed at him too! Newt wants kids to get interested in NASA again…not close it down like Obama has!) And then Romney said that he didn’t want to take away child labor laws. Newt went on to explain that he didn’t want to take them away… and the Romney was misstating his position. He wants kids to be able to learn to work in their schools like many of us did in our younger years. What’s happened to Americans expecting kids to deliver papers? Work in school cafeterias? I did… many did! We learned how to make money and save it. He’s not talking about YOUNG children, but teens. Maybe that’s what’s wrong with Occupy…..they think they don’t have to WORK for anything, and everything is just given to them! And they can’t play soccer anymore or gym, or they might get a boo-boo! They have money for hamburger, but watch 90210 and want steak! NEWT is NOT a progressive, and anyone who says so hasn’t watched him for about ten years now. He was scored the other day on the regular media as a 93% conservative in the congress! Obama was the lowest…as were many other RINOS! You have your FACTS wrong. Why post if you don’t pay attention?

              • “Neocon” has been a go-to sobriquet for Paulistinians since the last presidential election. It’s the name they chose to demean conservatives of bad odor to them in their bot-like march for their quirky icon. Short for neoconservative, the word actually means what it says, New Conservatives, thus the name-calling is non-sequitur from the start. When snarky Paulbrats call me “neocon,” I remind them that actually, I am a paleocon, and that, in fact, THEY are the neocons. Cons, indeed.

                • Anonymous

                  Paleo-cons are almost extinct. Its such a backwards and unproductive view of the world that got replaced by the ability to read books and become educated.

                  The literal meaning of “neo-con” is not entirely “new conservative.” It more closely means a new way of looking at old ideas. If you wanted to look at the root of each part of the word, the literal meanings would be redundant, and in turn just mean gibberish.

                  The movement of neo-conserativism has its foundation in the beliefs in using a powerful federal government, especially by financial and military means, as a conduit for enforcing populist conservative ideas.

                  Of course what happens when ideologues that believe in using the military and the economy to affect change are then placed in charge of both the economy AND the military is what we’ve seen since 2001, with multiple financially unsustainable wars with no real goal in mind.

                  Given where this country is now, financially, militarily and economically … neo-con isn’t much of a badge of honor, its a symbol of what helped ripped this nation apart.

                  In either case, I wouldn’t brag to many people that you’re either a paleo-con or a neo-con. It’s like saying you either don’t think women should have the right to vote, or you think that war is good for the economy. In either case, you’re children will laugh at you as a nostalgic old fool.

                  In my book, on the federal level, liberals are about as retarded as conservatives. Keep that on a state level, or better yet, the most local government possible.

                  Personally, I believe in a rock solid contract; and the one I believe the most in is, “The Constitution of the United States.”

                  It’s a brilliantly written piece. Give it a read. You won’t find anything in there about liberals or conservatives.

                  I believe in the marketplace of ideas, and I don’t want your warped version of ideology or philosophy inflicted on me anymore than I care to inflict mine onto others. I’d rather have 50 different states with 50 different ways of creating policy instead of the jack-holes in California telling people in New Hampshire they can’t eat trans-fats or smoke cigarettes in their own houses. Likewise, I don’t need the Bible-thumpers in po-dunk Arkansas telling Illinoisans that they’ll burn in Hell for drinking fermented grape juice and therefore go back to prohibition.

                  I don’t need a rockhead conservative or liberal telling me how to live my life. I’ve served in the military, earned my way through to a masters degree, pay my taxes and make a solid living. I’ll challenge most loud-mouth political fanatics to do the same.

                  Yes, you’re right. I shouldn’t have accused you of being a liberal, because liberals claim to have a social conscience. With you “libertarians”, it’s all about you, and no one else. I also served in the military (U.S.M.C… you?), earned a masters degree, pay my taxes, and also make a very good living. Whoop-de-do. Do I think that makes me special? But with you “libertarians”, EVERYTHING about you is “special”. Your ideas, your so-called “intellect”. You (collectively) like to delude yourselves into thinking that you’re so superior to the rest of us. But, in fact, you’re so “broadminded” as to actually being quite “mean” and selfish. Your “thinking” will not prevail in this presidential election anymore than it has in others. It would be nice if you cared more about our country and less about your own personal so-called “freedoms”.

                  82nd Airborne, infantry; then later a combat medic in the Reserves.

                  And compared to most of the lunatic crap I read on here, yeah, its definitely special and I hold my work in high esteem. You should take a little bit more pride in yourself.

                  You sound like Perry – “if you say that we should not educate children who have come into our state for no other reason than they’ve been brought there by no fault of their own, I don’t think you have a heart. ”

                  Cry me a river.

                  If you want to help out, donate to a church or a charity, but don’t purposely create legislation and policy that hamstrings one group of successful people in favor of another that isn’t even here legally. That frame of mind leads to dangerous paths, including policies like affirmative action. In the end, it creates more oppression and poverty then it solves.

                  On top of that, you might want to go look in a mirror. The things you’re writing, about being mean and selfish and caring more about my country than my own personal freedoms – that’s utilitarianism, the foundations of liberalism. And, its the exact premise that Bush used to push forward The Patriot Act, create “Homeland Security” and the TSA that strip-searches grandmas. Its also the excuse given throughout every single moment of history when a dictator wanted more power.

                  See, you might not realize this but there are two school of thoughts in our political system that pretty much divide equally down liberal and conservative lines.

                  Liberals believe in creating policy that says whats good for the whole is good for the individual.

                  Conservatives believe in creating policy that says whats good for the individual is good for the whole.

                  Our Bill of Rights, whether you like it or not, was written on the principles of protecting the individual rights, and that’s where being a libertarian steps in. It prevents the religious zealots from forcing us to subscribe to their religious beliefs, and it prevents the environmental whackos from having us all convert to expensive solar energy.

                  So I don’t care one bit about whether you want to be a liberal or conservative in your home state, but you have absolutely no right whatsoever to use the federal government to push me into a corner.

                  Now my point in the earlier post was that I’m not hurting anyone, and in fact I think I’m a pretty darn good contributor to our society. I placed the good of the country over myself at the highest stakes possible by putting my ass on the line multiple times.

                  The “social consciousness” that you advocate are actually just your set of bias and they place more importance of your own ideologies over my own, so you can go stuff it. That’s the sort of tripe that is ruining our country because it lets lemmings like you elect corrupt politicians because he promises you everything under the sun and a free pass straight to Heaven, all you gotta do is vote for him.

                  Once he’s in office, its the same old thing all over again. But worse, because the one thing a narcissistic morally bankrupt with access to the largest military in the world needs is justification for any perceived provocation.

                  On the other hand, for the first time in many of our lifetimes there is a candidate running for office who is promising not more, but in fact less.

                  Wait, what?

                  Right. He’s saying that these excessive entitlements, wars our friends and families are dying in, and the financial system thats in place will no longer be tolerated. We must return to a federal system that provides a minimum of framework and intervention in our lives. And in doing so – by protecting the rights of the individual – we will be capable of spurning innovation and entrepreneurship.

                  Yeah, in second though… that’s just a terrible idea. I mean, who would want to be free?

                  What’s Newt promising? Another way to spend money? The creation of yet another bureaucratic regime? In other words… more and more federal government? More and more spending? More and more war?

                  Awesome. Seriously. Talk about a guy who is willing to put his country above himself.

                  Yeah, the 82nd used to be a good outfit. Congratulations.

                  So, now you’re calling ME a liberal. Even a “bleeding heart” one, at that. All I can do is laugh.

                  I’ve debated both “liberals” and “conservatives” online, but whenever I’ve tried to discuss politics with a “libertarian”, I soon wind up feeling like I’ve fallen down a metaphoric “rabbit hole” in an “Alice In Wonderland” world of libertarian sophistry.

                  So, again I’ll remind you that Ron Paul will NOT win the nomination (with good reason) and leave it to you rather than continue to waste my time trying to have a sensible dialogue with a rabid libertarian.

                  Have a good day.

                  I’m only repeating what you said for yourself.

                  Yeah, I think that the vast majority of “conservatives” have no qualms with increasing the size of government and intrusion into our lives so long as it fits within their preconceived ideologies. All the while completely disregarding the part about increasing_the_size_of_government_and_intrusion_into_our_lives.

                  So if you’re having problems having a conversation with libertarians, it might be because of your obvious problem with rationalizing inconsistencies within how you view your own political ideology.

                  Can’t have it both ways Bubba, pick a side.

                  Anyhow, I used to a tee-totaling conservative back in the day. I couldn’t get enough of Oliver North, G. Gordon Liddy, Rush Limbaugh … and man, I thought Newt Gingrich was just the guy I wanted to be president one day when he made the “Contract with America.”

                  Finally, someone would return moral virtues the executive branch and we could toss out the Clinton opportunists.

                  Fast forward 17 years and the only that’s managed to happen is exchanging one worthless politician for another. And here we are, setting the stage for it happen again.

                  And Newt, he road the wave of that initial popularity and became one of the nastiest narcissists in government. He betrayed the trust I had in him, as did many of the established republicans and conservatives, and it became quite apparent to me that the only way to fix our federal government is to prevent anymore hostile takeovers.

                  And that’s where you and I stand apart.

                  Do you see any shred of inconsistency in stating the Ron Paul doesn’t stand a chance so don’t vote for him, thereby placing your vote with someone that only stands a chance because Ron Paul doesn’t?

                  I’m not budging on that issue. I’m voting with my moral convictions, not for the Republican or Democrat party, not for liberals or conservatives, but the most honest man to run for president in who knows how long. The only one who has a 30+ year record to back up what he says so I know he isn’t just changing his tune for whatever the latest populist movement is.

                  I hope your conscious is clear.

                  “The larger the mob, the harder the test. In small areas, before small electorates, a first-rate man occasionally fights his way through, carrying even the mob with him by force of his personality. But when the field is nationwide, and the fight must be waged chiefly at second and third hand, and the force of personality cannot so readily make itself felt, then all the odds are on the man who is, intrinsically, the most devious and mediocre—the man who can most easily adeptly disperse the notion that his mind is a virtual vacuum. The Presidency tends, year by year, to go to such men. As democracy is perfected, the office represents, more and more closely, the inner soul of the people. We move toward a lofty ideal. On some great and glorious day the plain folks of the land will reach their heart’s desire at last, and the White House will be adorned by a downright moron.”

                  This is not true. He never supported Cap and Trade and testified against it the same day that Al Gore testified for it. (Lord Monckton was not allowed to testify and Newt testified in his place. If you don’t know who Lord Monckton is, check out his videos against global warming on You Tube). Newt supports clean air but he believes the science for climate change is not settled and more research is needed, but he has clearly stated he would not support any policy that would adversely effect our economy.

                  Don’t be swayed by 30 second sound bites, headlines, and the criticisms of Democrats and Republicans that want to sway you. DO THE RESEARCH and get the full story before you decide who you want to vote for.

                  If Newt Gingrich is the Republican nominee then I will vote for him. In fact, anybody on the Republican side would be a million times better then having O’Bamma win a second term.

                  Everything O’Bamma does is to help him win a second term even if it hurts the American People. His phony Jobs bill was worthless and he knows it. He put it out there knowing that it would not pass and then he could use it in his campaign against the Republicans. He is not approving the oil pipeline from Canada so he will not make his loony environmentalist friends mad at him. The pipeline would bring millions of gallons of oil into this country which would bring the price of oil down for all of us. It would also create thousands of new jobs for unemployed Americans. America will be doomed if we do not elect a Republican President and take over the Senate and Congress this time.

                  It would also make us much less dependent on purchasing oil from countries in the middle east and elsewhere who hate us and want to do us harm if they could.

              I think people have already forgotten that Ron Paul is the godfather of the Tea Party.

              Somehow it turned from a politically-agnostic, grassroots movement challenging the expansion and intrusion of big government into our lives, into some neo-con/religious-zealot conservative platform policy machine.

              In other words, it got usurped by every scumbag opportunist politician. Now the #occupy movement has more credibility DESPITE the alliance with Cindy Sheehans and Acorn nut jobs.

              Stop voting for or against “the party” when it clearly hasn’t had your vote in mind for the past 55+ years and start questioning what you value.

                Wrong. Ron Paul is not the godfather of the Tea Party. If anyone founded the Tea Party it was Eric Odom, and the Chicago-area Libertarian Party who held the very first protest. (There was a New York group that held a dump soda in the river protest too, that could be called the founders of the movement.)

                  Are you smoking crack?!?!

                  Ron Paul held the first Tea Party rally in 2007 and it became the foundation of his platform in his 2008 bid for the presidency. His theme of reducing the size of government, repealing the overly broad intrusion into our lives, in addition to the dire need for financial reform became the pivotal issues of his campaign.

                  Google search for, “Ron Paul’s tea party for dollars,” published on December 16, 2007 in the Boston Globe. It is the first recorded publication of the movement… Eric Odom is not in attendance.

                  What you’re referring to occurred in 2009 as a response to an utterly unrelated and separate event. Eric Odom – A NEW MEDIA STRATEGIST – adopted “Tea Party” in response to his little shindig with the Chicago Mercantile Exchange.

                  Every single principle on which the Tea Party grew upon were 100 percent libertarian in nature. As the movement gained traction, conservatives concerned with runaway spending of the government, latched on to many of the principles, especially because they were disenfranchised with their elected representatives. In other words, the ideas became, “good bedfellows.”

                  Unfortunately, the Tea Party movement also attracted a lot of conservatives with ideological baggage in addition to opportunistic politicians looking to make a name for themselves. After hijacking the entire movement and turning it into the pile of crap it exists as today, I would agree that the Tea Party currently looks nothing like what the Tea Party of 2007, 2008 or early 2009 looked like.

                  Nonetheless, Ron Paul remains the “intellectual godfather” of the movement. This isn’t really up for debate. Google away my friend; you haven’t a leg to stand on.

                  First of all, your facts are dead wrong. If you don’t believe me, go look it up. Its cited all over the web by journalists, academics and political pundits. The specific event that started it all was in Boston, Dec. 16, 2007. Verbatim, read, “Ron Paul is the intellectual godfather of the Tea Party movement.”

                  Secondly, republican and democrat is a form of representation, and liberal and conservative is a form of policy making. Paul can be a libertarian and a republican – which he is. There are also liberal republicans and conservative democrats.

                  It never ceases to amaze me that we have citizens in this country that can barely understand recent history or how our government functions.

                  Class dismissed.

                • As far as history goes, Ron Paul ran for president as a Libertarian. It is actually a party and joined the Republican party only because he knows he will get no attention as a Libertarian, so it is you who do not know history. And dude, I don’t need to read anything to know who started the Tea Party movement. I am an investor who watches CNBC every day. I saw Rick Santelli and heard his words. Shortly thereafter Tea Parties sprang up all around the country. This was after Obama, who was President at the time, not in 2007, announced his first mortgage bailout to people who could not afford the houses they bought. Do not think to lecture me about how our government works and history, my friend. Your arrogance is not backed up by your facts.

              Ron Paul has been running for president since 1988. He’s 76 years old. That’s older than Reagan was when he won his second term. The American people will not elect Ron Paul.

                He hasn’t run on abolishing the Fed, though that is probably preferrable to him. He wants transparency which would result in the demise of the Fed by the people.

                Not running on the gold standard. Rather, he is championing competition in currency. The FRN would die a slow death.

                Ron Paul will win Iowa and will be on his way to the nomination.

                Get over it.

            THANK YOU!!! I am so glad there is somebody out there who is paying attention and not judging Newt on things that happened fifteen years ago! He has come a long way and has inspired and wonderful ideas of where he wants to take America.

            I think he is the Winston Churchill of our day – the right man at the right time in history. Not perfect, not even trusted by many (as with Churchill)… But these are not normal times. America is on the brink of destruction and if Obama gets a second term without the constraints of a future election, we will not recognize our country when he is finished with us. Churchill had changed parties, was considered to be erratic and unpredictable, and was not even well-liked, but when Britain was facing Hitler, they knew he was the right man for the job.

            Newt is a brilliant man and consummate politician who knows how to make the right things happen in Washington DC. He understands history and he will show Obama up for the “know nothing” that he is. Newt is uniquely qualified to teach Americans about conservatism, which is vital because too many Americans have forgotten what America is all about, or believe the leftist/liberal lies. Fixing our economy is not enough – we need new ideas and radical changes to restore our national character and return to our Constitutional Republic – and only Newt will do that.

            Glad you are out there and speaking up. Your voice is important!!!

            Newt is our Barack!

        • The President has no control of monetary policy and your claims that big government will not be arrested has no basis in fact whatsoever. The push for reform that led Bill Clinton to proclaim the era of big government over was led by Newt. As a back bencher in the Congress he was to the right of Ronald Reagan. I like Beck and listen to him every day, but he is not God and is not infallible. He is just plane wrong on Newt. Beck is stuck on his own anti-progressive template, pure and simple. He would have accused Reagan of being a progressive. Has he asked Bachmann if she’s going to end Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid? Government does not get any more progressive than that. I’ll bet you she would say no. Does that make her progressive? Is he progressive for supporting her? He goes too far with this.

            “The President has no control of monetary policy and your claims that big government will not be arrested has no basis in fact whatsoever.”

            Right, the executive branch does not have control over the federal reserve except when appointing individuals to the Board of Governors, but to say the president is powerless is laughable.

            The executive branch is enormously powerful, and with it comes intense political and corporate persuasion. The president doesn’t NEED to control the federal reserve, he has the sole discretion to otherwise command and distribute the largest aspects of government, and thereby redistribute assets that in effect influence economic policy.

            • Yes, like I said, the President does not have control of monetary policy. What you describe is fiscal policy.

              • Anonymous

                Well!

                Then I stand corrected.

                Grumble.

                Howeverrrrrrrrrrrrrr … this isn’t a cut and dry matter.

                The powers of the presidency to intervene in the Fed are prevented. My point is that the national agenda is largely set through influence of the executive branch, and while no – the president cannot directly intervene in the Fed – he can effectively whip his party, if it has a majority, to intervene through legislation.

                Ergo, if A = B and B = C then A = C.

                So while you are *technically* correct, there is more than one way to skin a cat.

                • What a lovely non sequitur…my point is there are a whole lot of economic prognosticators out there who don’t really understand economics or our political structure and you’re pretty high on the list with your comments.

                • Anonymous

                  Likewise Robert, you’ve exposed yourself pretty well for the fool you are.

                  Let me ask you this, who appoints the chairman?

                  If you answered with “the president of the United States,” you win one gold star.

                  Next, who pushed for passage of The Banking Act of 1935?

                  If you answered with, “the president of the United States,” you win another gold star.

                  Finally, when a political party controls both the legislative and the executive branch, who has indirect control over the fed? If you answered, “the president of the United States,” you won a third gold star and a free pizza party!!!

                  Ergo: If A (the president) = B (congress), and if B (congress) = C (monetary restraint and oversight of the Fed), then A (the president) = C (monetary restraint and oversight of the Fed).

                  I’ll just close with a quote from Richard Timberlake, retired professor of economics at the University of Georgia in an encyclopedia entry titled, “The Federal Reserve,”

                  “Can The Fed, as an ‘independent’ central bank maintain price stability contrary to the wishes of an executive branch that seeks to use its fiscal powers to manage the federal government’s burgeoning long-term debt?”

                  Thanks for playing Robert.

                • Wouldn’t it be wonderful if we lived in a world without politics and government? This is basically what you argue, which I would argue makes you more of an anarchist than a libertarian. Perhaps you should join the OWS people. I can be conservative without wanting to close down the Fed. The idea that it makes me a fool is quite silly…I think you would feel much better about yourself if you had a sense of humor.

        The parties may not be exactly the same, but they agree on a lot.

        They both like foreign wars, they both like government meddling in healthcare, they like bailouts, they like our monetary system and the Federal Reserve, they like debt… I can go on, but hopefully you get the point.

        • tiamoaz58

          Newt does not like gov’t meddling in healthcare & explained that years ago ALL the CONSERVATIVES were looking for a way to make those who refused to get healthcare get something so that the rest of the people didn’t have to pay for them. Pay attention! Then he said when Hillarycare came around, and they saw the MANDATE she tried to put in, they moved away from a mandate, and realized that it wasn’t the way to go. They were all trying to work out a problem with all the illegals coming in as well, and using up all the ER and hospital monies. No one had ever dealt with it before. Romney did the same in order to make it fair for those who had healthcare not to have to pay out so much for those who not couldn’t get it, but WOULDN’T! What’s with you people? People can’t WORK OUT PROBLEMS anymore, and if a person has a LOGICAL change of mind it’s ALWAYS called flip-flopping? Can’t people change and grow? Glenn Beck said HE did! But it’s not okay for others to? Hypocrites!

          • You’re insane. Newt supports the mandate. He supported expanding medicare. He called Paul Ryan’s plan “right wing social engineering”. He’s big government through and through.

            • Anonymous

              Newt called Paul Ryan’s plan right wing engineering because he believes is it just as wrong for conservatives to force policies on the American people as it was for Obama to do it. He likes aspects of Ryan’s plan but said it must be presented in a way that the American people have as many personal choices as possible. Newt has tremendous respect for the citizenry and that has been missing from government for a very long time!

                No disrespect intended but several of the Gingrich supporters posting here remind me of the Obama supporters in the last election. Specifically, they refuse to admit the man has failings, those they do acknowledge they excuse, and they obviously believe every word the man utters sans researching his past record, including the negative remarks made about him by lifelong, well-respected Conservatives who worked with Gingrich.

                We are all desperately seeking someone who will defeat Obama. In our desperation we must not replace Obama the “D” with an “R” clone – Gingrich.

                • Sorry, but every candidate has failings. I think it is more accurate to say that some Beck supporters – not me though I like Beck – believe Beck has no failings. Everyone has failings and there is no perfect candidate. That is no reason to vote for Ron Paul…who also is not a perfect candidate. If I have to choose between imperfection, I’ll take Newt, the man who stopped Hillarycare, led us to welfare reform, led on Reagan tax cuts and tax reform and toppled the Democrats 40 year control of Congress.

              • Sure respect for the citizenry? Supporting a bill that could give the death penalty or 2 ounces of marijuana? Are you kidding, he is a big government, nanny state scumbag FRAUD.

            What is wrong with us? well we have been following republican politics for 30+ years and we have finally learned the signs that someone is lying and actually going to incease the size and power of government. Bush lied and raised taxes, Bush 2 lied and did not engage in a humble foreign policy…he also expanded all the other parts of the government…it became clear that republicans who write big government articles for the CFR are just lying when they say they are for small government. Gingrich has a long history of supporting growing government power and expenditures. If you don’t know about then you need to read and research in other places besides the Gingrich campaign site.

            • And Ron Paul has a long history of stuffing bills with the pork he knows will pass with his no vote as well as supporting legalization of drugs and advocating a foreign policy that will invite terrorism in our streets.

                So, instead of the taxpayers having the taxes sent back to their district they should leave it in the hands of the executive branch to be wasted? That is easily the weakest argument on this page, and shows a complete ignorance of how the system works.

          The party elite also agree that taxing carbon dioxide would be good for big government and bad for the people. That is why Pelosi and Gingrich supprot carbon tax and trade.

        Good luck nailing Gingrich down to any concrete stance. Unless you’re saying that Gingrich is against “Obamacare” for say only a given few months.

        He supports (or has recently supported) an individual mandate.

        He’s called for the death penalty against marijuana users (a civil rights violation if I’ve ever heard one)

        If you honestly see any substantive difference between him and the rest of the morally an intellectually bankrupt pols in both parties, I suggest you broaden your political horizons a little.

            While I do not agree with Newt on many topics, facts are facts. He did NOT advocate death penalty for users, but for convicted drug smugglers who import a commercial amount of drugs. Here is a source: http://2012.republican-candidates.org/Gingrich/Marijuana.php
            While they should be punished, I think the death penalty might be a little too much.

              For eight years I worked in a private psych hospital specializing in substance abuse. If you witnessed the death and destruction, turmoil and frustration drug-addicted patients and their families endure you would demand the death penalty for drugs dealers.

              82% of drugs come across the Mexican border – a border past and current administrations refuse seal and so it goes on. Romney’s position on illegal immigration and the borders is the primary reason I support his candidacy.

        Newt supported the individual mandate before it was not cool for Republicans to not support it.

        • The “individual mandate” is not the problem with Obamacare — it is the fact that Obamacare is a gov’t run program that is the problem. Newt has never been in favor of a gov’t takeover of health care, he has been a staunch opponent of it. In the context of a private solution, an individual mandate could actually be helpful, and it could be done in a Constitutional manner (via tax incentives rather than just a mandate). Newt’s main problem is that he is honestly working on real solutions, and this sometimes does not translate well into sound bites. If you really want to fix health care, Newt is the man.

          • Individual mandates are a CONSTITUTIONAL problem and an individual LIBERTY problem. I can tell you’re a GOP hack who’ll vote for any one that wears the label. I despise big government Republicans as much as big government Democrats.

      • Marc Matthews; did you not hear Newts own words on Glenn Beck last week? He might not support the immediate form of obamacare but hes made no attempts at hiding his own healthcare agenda that includes big government. Not to mention what moral compass will he run this country by since hes clearly shown no problems w having affairs and leaving his wife while shes at least very ill if not terminal. Can you imagine him at a conference with the middle east after his palestinian invention comment? Ron Paul might not have the nomination but as an individual im very impressed with his ethics. And I feel like thats what Glenns getting at. Its not a mans policies its what are his ethics? I could tell you anything you want to hear but my life’s actions show what I really am. The founding Fathers were not perfect but they had integrity and their policies came from their code of ethics. I think all glenn is saying is vote according to your ethics and he would rather vote a losing vote but vote w conviction than hold your hands over your eyes and vote for a bullshit nominee just because he’s a Republican

        • Ron Paul would fail to effectively defend the country.

He doesn’t articulate as well as he should, but he’s not a smooth B.S.er like the majority of the other candidates. He doesn’t want to give aid to other countries as we do now, he doesn’t support the U.N. he doesn’t want to meddle in other countries buisness, but he will stand up to defend our country from any who would cause harm, but will not be suckered into wordly squabbles to take action against those that spew oratory threats.

          You are really not paying attention if you believe the story about Newt’s first marriage. His daughter by that marriage was so fed up with the lies she recently wrote and article to set the record straight. Her MOTHER asked for the divorce before she went into the hospital and she was never terminal and is still very much alive. Be careful what you believe if you care about the truth.

          As for the Palestinians being an “invented people”… that is true. ALL residents of the land the British labeled “Palestine” were considered Palestinians until Israel became a state in 1948. When the state of Israel was created many residents of the land began to identify themselves as Israelis (this includes Jews, Christians, and Muslims.) There never was a distinct Arab Palestinian people until Arafat felt it was politically expedient to promote it. Of course, those who are anti-Semites, and those who oppose Israel will never admit to this fact – but Newt is telling the truth about history without regard to the political correctness of our culture. We need a president who is not afraid to speak the TRUTH! You can be sure, if it was not for Arab oil, we would not be pandering to the Arabs. Newt has a plan to become energy independent using our own resources so he is not interested in pandering.

          Obama invests in drilling for oil in Brazil and tells them we will be their best customer…. and refuses to approve the Canadian pipeline that would create hundreds of thousands of good-paying jobs for Americans and lessen our dependence on foreign oil…. yet he insists he will not rest (except for 80 rounds of golf) until Americans have jobs? What a liar!!! He has done nothing to create jobs in this country unless it is for his campaign bundlers and union folks who pay dues that end up in Democrat campaign coffers.

          Wake up people!!! A president who speaks the truth without concern for political correctness would be refreshing! That’s the kind of CHANGE I can believe in!

          • It’s his bomb-throwing rhetoric that has earned him the nickname “Hand Grenade”. Gingrich is right that many children don’t have a work ethic, but the way he put it out there? C’mon. He sounds like some factory owner from a Dickens novel. Besides, it’s not the government’s role to raise children or instill values.

            His bomb-throwing bombast is great for when he’s running in a safe district as leader of the opposition or writing a sensational book. It is an utter failure when he is in a leadership position. And it will keep him out of office in a nationwide race.

              Perhaps you should read your Bible. The Palestinians are never mentioned in the Bible because they did not exist. Perhaps you are thinking of the Philistines? They are not the same people.

                Joel 3:1-4 For, behold, in those days, and in that time, when I shall bring again the captivity of Judah and Jerusalem, I will also gather all nations, and will bring them down into the valley of Jehoshaphat, and will plead with them there for my people and for my heritage Israel, whom they have scattered among the nations, and parted my land. And they have cast lots for my people; and have given a boy for an harlot, and sold a girl for wine, that they might drink. Yea, and what have ye to do with me, O Tyre, and Zidon, and all the coasts of Palestine? will ye render me a recompense? and if ye recompense me, swiftly and speedily will I return your recompense upon your own head;

                Now how can you have the coasts of Palestine but no Palestinians? Does that mean that they are a legitimate people of a country? NO. They were Arabs, and were never a nation. But they were Palistinans by region. Thats what I was referring to. But to say they were an invented people is grossly out of context. They did exsist, but were not nor ever were a recongizable nation, but were reffered to as Palastinians.

                  It all depends on what version you read… I have never read Palestine in this verse… but Philistia. There was no Palestine until the Roman Emperor Hadrian placed that name on the entire nation of Israel in 135 A.D. so you would be hard-pressed to have any valid reference to Palestine in the Old Testament.

                  Joel 3
                  The Nations Judged
                  1 [a]“In those days and at that time,
                  when I restore the fortunes of Judah and Jerusalem,
                  2 I will gather all nations
                  and bring them down to the Valley of Jehoshaphat.[b]
                  There I will put them on trial
                  for what they did to my inheritance, my people Israel,
                  because they scattered my people among the nations
                  and divided up my land.
                  3 They cast lots for my people
                  and traded boys for prostitutes;
                  they sold girls for wine to drink.

                  4 “Now what have you against me, Tyre and Sidon and all you regions of Philistia? Are you repaying me for something I have done? If you are paying me back, I will swiftly and speedily return on your own heads what you have done.

        If you truly believe there is a difference in the Parties I would ask that you explain why it is that every election the candidates pledge to correct the errors of the current/past administration(s) yet every term ends the same way – the new man in the White House just picked up the baton from the last resident and continued down the same path.

        There may be difference in policy issues and the time frame to accomplish their goals; however, there is no difference in their common agenda or ultimate goal.

        Romney saying he doesn’t support mandated h/c when he knows that 66% of the populace doesn’t is one thing–Mandating it for 6.5 MILLION PEOPLE is another. You can squabble about state vs. federal, but it still PROVES that he has NO regard for personal liberties, and NO concept of limits upon governments. Period.
        During the first rounds of debates, Mitt Perry answered every issue with: Government should fix this, Government should do that, Government WILL start doing so-and-so. Idiots cannot understand the constitution. The faithless cannot comply with it, or their sworn oaths.
        Newt is a little trickier. He knew to SOUND like a constitutionalist, so, he answered gingerly–Still, when forced to put a fork into it, his ideas are Big Big government. Newt is smart, but he is venomous snake.

        Only Ron Paul will stop the growth of the police state. TSA is now on the highways. The congress, at Obama’s insistence (according to Carl Levin) passed legislation allowing a white house star chamber to put any American in a dungeon, until the end of hostilities, with no formal charges or legal representation, and with no review outside of the executive branch.

        When people question Newt about the erosion of basic liberties as a result of the admittedly endless ‘war on terror’, his response is usually, ‘Do you want to lose an American city?’ So the situation is clear, for him: security demands we sacrifice our rights. He’s even laughingly suggested that the government allow attacks to happen from time to time, just to remind people how dependent they are on their true god, government, for security. Obama is worse, the rest are basically the same. Paul/Johnson 2012.

        • Ron Paul has some good ideas when it comes to domestic policy, but what good is that if his foreign and military policy cause the country to be taken over by a foreign aggressor?

          • And which foreign aggressor has the ability to invade us? If we would stop invading countries that are not a threat to THIS country, or putting embargoes on country’s that we don’t like, mind our own business and quit trying to run the world, spreading “democracy at gunpoint, we wouldn’t have to be so concerned about a 1 in a million chance that somebody would attack us.

            Come now, Ron Paul is not going to allow our country to be taken over by foreign aggressors. Just because he is not into bullying other countries around, doesn’t mean that. He wants to leave others alone and be left alone. If they physically agressed the U.S. he would act, and through congress, not as it has been illegally done for the past 40 years or better. Only congress has the power to declare war, not the president, according to our constitution. Domestically? are you kidding? He wants our liberties back. You will see government shirnk in size drastically, many depts. done away with, TSA being one of them, FEMA another, dept. of education, along with tons of regulatory issues. Research his voting record, and look at his agenda. He wants liberty, he is a constitutionalist. Don’t be duped by media and the elite.

Do you really not see who’s robbing us. good grief.

        • I like Ron Paul, and I agree we have to keep a close watch on our liberties. I have noted how many have fallen under Obama. But I don’t think isolationism is the answer. We must cut the military and limit our overseas involvement, I think Newt would do that, but I think Ron Paul goes a little too far. History shows what happens when the US goes into an isolationist shell, and it is not pretty.

          • There is a big difference between isolationist and non-interventionist.

          • What makes you think Newt would cut any overseas involvement. He has been the most interventionist of all the candidates. He has at least 3 more conflicts he would like us to get into. He has NEVER said he would bring anyone home from anywhere, including Germany.

            Newt will never beat Obama because we Independents will not vote for a con man, huckster, charlatan, if he were a car salesman we would be calling him low life scum due to his past baggage. Ron Paul has some very good ideas, revisiting our failed free trade policies and renegotiating them into fair trade agreements. Our unemployment problem will never end until we bring back some of the industry that has left.I like his idea of closing all foreign military bases and bringing home all troops. If other countries want to pay for their security then they can hire American merc’s, we have trained plenty. Our men in uniform should no longer be the worlds policemen and lackeys for corporate. Ron Paul can never get the nomination in the Republican party, the hierarchy of the GOP will never let that happen. He must pull out and run on the Libertarian ticket because they are on the ballot in every state. He would pull those votes, Dem’s who are unhappy with Obama, most Independents, all his own Republican supporters and many Republicans who know Newt is a loser and all around bad guy. I would start donating money if he run on third party ticket, but it needs to become a real populist movement calling for one 6yr terms for all politicians thereby ending seniority and the corporate control of our representatives through K Street lobbyist.The representatives would then go to Washington vote the peoples will not special corporate interest. The time is right for a third party, I know hard core Republicans won’t like this but who gives a dam. They can’t get anything done because they have become obstructionist and their main game is to do nothing to make Obama look bad for 2012, dam the economy and the unemployed(it is a means to an end) but it is going to backfire.Unless Ron Paul runs a third party I and many others will vote Obama,sorry Newt just doesn’t get it. Standby and watch the biggest defeat in a long time with Newt and the GOP will lose the House.

        People who are still considering supporting anyone aside from RP are still asleep regarding the most important issue of the day. Even if they understand the depths of our financial straits, they don’t understand that it is debt based money, fiat money, that has created the situation. Every other candidate either doesn’t get it, or gets it and has other ends in mind. If the monetary system has always seemed confusing to you, I urge you to read this and pass it on to your friends and family. It impacts them every day of their lives.

        I think a good place to start is asking: Did your great-grandparents have to play the stock market to stay ahead of inflation? If they played the markets, it’s because they chose to do so, not because they had to. From 1796-1913, the purchasing power of a US dollar fluctuated between 93 cents and $2. So people could literally put their money under the mattress, and when they went to spend it later it would have all of its original purchasing power, or more. Fiat money is money with no intrinsic value, piece of paper backed only by faith and force. Not minted into coin or backed by gold or silver, but by dictate: “Let this be money.” Using it means everyone is captive to the inflation that always accompanies it. Everyone has to go all in, and the bankers end up picking up the chips and pocketing them each time the economy crashes due to all of their ‘hot’ money being mis-allocated into giant asset bubbles (savings and loan institutions, internet IPOs, then the housing bubble – each bigger and more damaging than the last because credit and money have expanded so much).

        The endless cycle of booms and busts won’t end so long as we use debt based money, the issuance of which is controlled by the bankers. One of the smartest people who have ever lived was named Mayer Rothschild. He was the world’s richest man, and his family’s fortune today arguably dwarfs total global GDP (look it up). He famously said that so long as he controlled the issuance of a nation’s money, he cared little who made its laws. Was the world’s wealthiest banker just talking garbage, or did he mean it? History suggest he meant it.

        It is the unlimited issuance of debt based money by central banks that makes both the welfare and warfare state possible. From the invasion of Vietnam and the inception of the ‘great society’ in 1965, it took only 6 years for the government to permanently wreck the dollar, removing it’s peg to gold in 1971. Until then, though it had gradually lost some purchasing power, dollars were still redeemable for gold in foreign exchange transactions – the dollar was still ‘good as gold’ to a large degree. And until then, the US held enough gold reserves to back the dollars that had been created. Now Ben Bernanke, the head of the privately owned Federal Reserve Bank, the institution which issues our money, says there is not enough gold _on the entire planet_ to back all the dollars (that’s at $1500+/oz, gold was $35/oz in 1971!). That says it all. All of those extra dollars dilute the value of every dollar you earn or save, and you never see any of it, unless you work in the financial system or are dependent on government for your sustenance. And all of those extra dollars have to be parked somewhere, to avoid being further eroded by inflation. Booms and busts wreck the middle class, and have helped to hollow out our economy.

        Ron Paul understands this issue. Until _this_ changes, the middle class will be treading water, at best, still captive to a system what relies upon ever-expanding credit and money supply to establish a facade of ‘solvency’ and ‘growth’.

      I’m beginning to think that Beck is even running ahead of his own ADHD. It grieves me because he has sure informed a lot of Americans about a lot of things, even though he has failed to give credit for some of the material he’s scoffed. Breitbart has pointed this out.

      But both Breitbart and Beck are super super egos. I like them both but I recognize that their egos do get in the way… but their egos drive them as well. And that’s a character weakness for sure, and can be unethical… in the case of Beck scoffing material that is not his. He’s taken from Horowitz and others without attribution. And Pamela Geller says that attribution is the currency of trade in the blogosphere. Even Beck’s book, Original Argument, does not belong to him… it was written by Joshua Charles, but you won’t find Charles’ name on the cover, just in the introduction. Beck talks a good game about ethics and humility… but there is no humility in publishing a book with his own name bigger than the title… yet the real author (translator actually) is relegated to a post introduction introduction.

      But I still like and appreciate Beck… what I don’t quite buy into is this perfection quest that is happening. A hero is dropped off the cliff in one day… if the hero says something stupid. I see a lot of Beck bashing… and to be sure, this comment from Beck about Newt/Obama is just baffling. Can Newt be called a progressive? Sure on some things… but we live in an all-or-nothing perfection seeking world… particularly in the blogosphere… and God help someone if they slip up. I really don’t know if there’s a maturity deficit, or an unwillingness to see that even our heros have flaws… and if the flaws show… then trash him.

      Anyway… that’s just my thoughts.

        My personal take on this is that Beck has received his marching orders from his church. The Powers-That-Be in the LDS church hierarchy have told Beck it’s okay to support Santorum or Bachmann because they don’t have a chance of winning. That leaves the Mormon Romney and Newt. Now who do *you* think they want? That’s why you’re hearing Beck say he’ll vote for Romney, or even Ron Paul third party, but not Newt.

        This has NOTHING to do with “progressive-ism” or “big government” because Romney is both in spades. It has everything to do with Beck’s “faith”.

        Just a note, in the early days of the LDS church there was a squad of Mormon goons called the “Destroying Angels”. You should Google it.

The consequences of both can be life destroying.

          • If you want a candidate with strong morals and faith then you want Ron Paul. unless Paul is nominated your choice will be between a Socialist(Obama) and a Fascist(Newt,Romney,Santorum,Perry,Bachman) none of the other candidates believe in the constitution or limited government they simply dont just look at their records. Newt wants the US to have the same drug policies as singapore which is death if caught with any kind or amount of drugs is that liberty? romney believes that the government whether state or federal can force us to purchase insurance. Bachman wants to amend the first amendment and make it a crime for americans to watch porn in their own homes is that liberty?Santorum is nothing but a bush lackey all he did while in politics was promote neoconservatism thats to politicians like him we were given the UNpatriotic act which strips us of the protection of the bill of rights is that liberty? Perry thinks government has the power to force people to get vaccinated is that liberty? Ron Paul is only saying what Thomas Jefferson said they both believe that people when left along by the government will prosper. they believe that all men are created equal and should be treated equally under the law. Pretty much everyone else in politics (like newt, mitt, rick) are believers in Alexander Hamilton who believed that wealthy since they had the land and the education should rule. He also believed in a private central bank like the bank of england that manipulates a fiat currency for its ow benefit. He also believed that we should have a large national debt he believed the bigger the debt the more stake the common man had in the government. Which philosophy leads to a free society? Rule by the rich and the elites for their own personal gain? Or rule by we the people with a republic with checks and balances to prevent mob rule? thats our choice its not a left or right issue its simply a question of do want to be ruled? or do you want to rule yourself?

            • The first duty of the Federal Government is to defend the country against foreign enemies. Ron Paul appears to have no interest in this, which should disqualify him in the minds of all Americans who love their country.

Just because he isn’t quick to send missles off to another country doesn’t mean he’s weak on defense. But we need a break from all the military hostilities to build or economic streght back, and then when it counts we can flex the military if need be.

We don’t even know what caused the failure of his marriages, after all marriage takes two, who knows to what extent there were issues beyond his “lack of character.” Especially given the “Star Wars Cantina” list of characters who are suddenly jumping on the “holier than thou” bandwagon. If the scumbags of our political world are so eager to shoot Newt down, heh, it makes me think even more of him. Reminds me of Reagan, the way they attack him.

            • Fool me once shame on you — fool me 3 times, shame on me.

              His lack of character was also noticed by his own party when they made him the only Speaker in history to be found guilty of ethics violations and fined him $300,000.

              It appears your elevator doesn’t run to the top, Newt is the epitome of a Washington insider, The guy is a con man, huckster, charlatan, look what he said about the other politicians in the Freddy Mac and then claimed he did no wrong(80 to 100 million from medical insurance, Freddy Mac) this guy is the lowest of the low. Funny the self righteous bible thumping religious fanatics are supporting this lowest of lows.You talk about scum bags who disagree with you , when you are supporting the best of the them. He will take the GOP to the worst defeat since Goldwater in 1964 and lose control of the House.

          Not even possible. The LDS church is in no way endorsing Romney. Many LDS I know are voting for Perry, Bachmann, Santorum and even Gingrich. Could Beck’s position have anything to do with Newt’s own policy flip-flops and adoption of progressive ideas to the left of Romney? Beck is a Bachmann supporter. That is who he is backing. I get the feeling he’d be fine with Santorum and Perry as well. What? Is the LDS church endorsing those three as well?

          Beck may not know that Ron Paul is not a rabid church goer. I support Ron on many things but disagree too much on some others. Newt is better choice that anybody else over there.

          • I’m not sure whether he goes to church or not, but Newt divorced several wives(one with cancer), and Newt’s a government money grubber. Ron Paul ran a successful medical practice as a career before becoming a congressman. He made sure that his practice refused all federal medicare money, and instead provided care for free to individuals that could not pay without medicare. He also made sure that his practice never performed abortions. This is a man of moral resolve, and faith. He’s also the only candidate that I have seen make convincing arguments about government using the Bible. Here’s the link of that: http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=Wnj-5z9NJoY#t=148s

              Leviathan…that “cancer divorce” story is a fabrication perpetrated by Mother Jones years ago. The story was corrected and written about by Newt’s daughter with the woman in question. His wife is the one who filed for divorce, she was having a benign tumour removed and she is alive & well today. Newt kept quiet about the entire situation because she was a very private person but recently I heard him speak of this.

            • Newt divorced his second wife. His first wife divorced him. We are electing a President, not a religious leader. When Newt was in office, he had a solid conservative record. Ron Paul’s record is good on domestic policy, but he is a Libertarian and opposes taking the measures required to defend the country. With Cain out because he was slandered, Newt is the best of those left.

                This kind of thinking will give the Dem’s the House back and the GOP will suffer the largest defeat since Goldwater in 1964. As an Independent I will vote for Obama if Newt gets the nomination or any other Republican crazy except Romney, but I would vote for Ron Paul if he ran third party.

          Nah, the Mormons aren’t telling him what to do. No politician is spiritual enough to listen to any religious leader…at least in this country. They are driven solely by their own egos.
          And everyone except the mormons are aware of their history. But if you do read history you will see many fringe groups were started in this “enlightenment” period of America….Jehovah’s Witnesses, Seventh Day Adventists, Church of Science, Christian or whatever it’s called now, Church of Christ and later the Pentecostals to name a few….all of them far removed from historic Christianity. Years from now we may have a follower of L Ron Hubbard running.
          Beck has run off the deep end I think. He appears to be crying “the end of the world” and “stock up your food” just a bit too much, along with the conspiracy theories.
          One of the mormon “prophecies” is that America will fall and the leaders will come to Salt Lake City to ask them for help. Beck may be playing with that so who knows what is in his head. He has become a little man though, so I wouldn’t sweat him much.
          Besides, if he says he hates Newt, some people may come to like Newt to spite him.

              Those ads are everywhere because all they’ve gotten from his run is negative press. Those ads are a response to the effects of his run–exactly the opposite of what you suggest. This, of course, is the response you’d expect from a secular media and often cynical public. It would only get worse if Romney were elected. Not even that–he just has to win the GOP nomination for Obama to spend $1 billion to smear him.

          And Beck says he’s all for Israel, and Newt Gingrich is very much for Israel. He wants to do everything to protect them, and as a Christian, knows what’s going on, that this administration has allowed them to be encircled. How can Beck not see that? Even Charles Krauthammer has said that Newt is CORRECT in his history of there being no formal “palestinian” people. He said the other day on Bret Baier, “It shows he knows his history!” I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again, “Glenn Beck says HE can change, and HE can seek redemption, and FORGIVENESS, and lay on the floor in a heap crying, and have young children and HAVE A CHANGE OF MINE (i.e., repent)….but he won’t allow Newt Gingrich to seek redemption; forgiveness; have a change of mind because he’s now a grandfather, and sees where these radicals are taking this country. He’s the only one talking about Obama being a socialist and radical, and has even called him a MARXIST. I don’t hear Romney saying that ONE TIME. When asked if Romney thought Obama was a socialist, he said, “Well…I don’t want to call him a SOCIALIST….but….” Wishy/washy… and yet Andy Stern has probably made 10 more trips to the WH within one week! I am discombobulated by Beck, because, I promise you….YOU TUBE any Gingrich speech from the past ten years, and you will THINK you’re listening to Beck! They sound exactly the same. In fact, if you watch THE FIVE today, they showed a commercial by the DNC all the way back to 1984 stating that Newt was a Tea Partier, and FOR SMALL GOV’T, well before the new tea party. They meant it as a “DOWNER” for him, but as they stated on The Five…it’s showing people that he’s NOT a progressive but a CONSERVATIVE! Even Bob Beckel calls him a CONSERVATIVE. Has Glenn Beck lost his mind??? Doesn’t he do IS homework? He says to go to the original sources…hasn’t he listened to any of his speeches since 1984? Apparently the DNC has! I’m disappointed in Beck.

          I agree with you bro, you are very right. I am privy to a document that was formulated in the mid 20th century. In it the LDS had a bunch of items /goals. Top on the list were the presidency, bunch of Governorships and an elite standing in the political class. I would like to see how many mormons are in political power, governors, senators etc. Beck was lifted to give them a voice in the media. The ploy is deep and many are unware of it. How do you think Romney has not gone lower than 20% of the electorate.
          Huntsman isto play the roles of a decoy and then understudy Romney. He is the next generation of presidential aspirant wether Romney fails or wins.
          I have been waiting to see how Beck would fall intothe plan and it is either very bad timing for what is happening or he has shown his true colour.
          Where is all the love he has been talking about, Vote for Ron Paul? What happen to restoring courage and all the Jews whom he has so recently began to (or allege) to love.
          Worst still, Mormonism hates Jews. They see them as a waste of time as God will only save a number of them.
          I am really worried now for whats going on, I am disappointed in Glenn.

        las1 – all I can say is I agree with you and believe you are dead right. I do a lot of reading myself and have too found that much of Beck’s material is somewhat plagiarized considering he tends to suggest that much of what he claims to have uncovered is actually the work of others including authors such as Ayn Rand, Horowitz, Goldberg, and even the Drudge Report. Every now and then he will suggest people read certain books etc, but personally think he does this to maintain credibility with those in his audience who are aware he does regurgitate others work habitually. I too, recognize his contributions but hope his intentions to pick a candidate for us, or destroy others could seriously backfire and provide a deathblow to our hopes of a constructive 2012 and beyond. There are no perfect candidates and we must realize that what has gotten us in this mess is allowing the political class to rig the system in their favor setting up a ruling class almost completely devoid of its citizenry. Whoever the front runner is, we must make sure this is a land slide election and keep voting these bums out election by election.

      • Spencer Collet

        I am going to start this off by saying I am NOT a Beck fan, but I believe that my reasons for not being one are summed up very well up here. Las, you hit the nail on the head when you talked about how these talking head pundits rattle off views of which they are not the intellectual owners. It actually makes for a less informed society rather than a more informed one.

        Glenn Beck, Bill O’Reilly, and the likes of Rachel Maddow and Al Sharpton on the left side of the equation, all boil down complex issues of policy into thirty second soundbites and titles like, “class warfare” and “1% vs. the 99%.” Seriously, it has gotten to a point where I was having lunch with a friend talking about tax reform. He said, we should have a balanced budget amendment and the 9-9-9 plan. Now putting the fact that you cannot possibly balance the budget(to the standards a balanced budget amendment would need) and do 9-9-9 at the same time, I asked him if he knew what those policies mean. He told me about how they would keep the US from becoming a socialist state, but then I asked him if he knew what socialism was, and he said, “yea, its like the old USSR and Cuba right now.” I was stunned. The labels that we attach to the policy debate in our country is absolutely making us more stupid for having done it. Socialism is what China has, socialism is what a lot of the eurozone crisis is about, socialism is not communism. By the same token, it is the labels we attach to our political debates that create this us vs. them atmosphere because we put oversimplified ideologies of Republicans and Democrats at odds with one another. I think this oversimplification occurs because the people relaying the nature of this us vs. them mentality don’t fully understand what it is they are actually reporting.

        Now I am an Obama supporter and would give Ron Paul a hard look as a third party candidate. I think to say that one side would benefit more from his third party candidacy is a grand assertion. Keep in mind Ron Paul appeals to the pro gay marriage pro abortion pro legal marijuana types just as much as his anti tax anti spending types. He thinks that the government cannot be large both in what they can tell you to do and what they can take from you. I think it is the polar two sided media we have, however, that keeps a legitimate third party candidate from a run and taking votes from both Republicans and Democrats because lets face it, they are both to blame. Nay lets face it we are all to blame. I am 21 and have only voted once, but to those of you that have voted in decades worth of elections quit the partisan rhetoric and realize that both Republicans and Democrats abused the system, they both profited from the un-regulated economy that got so out of control it crumbled, so let’s not give either one any ground and take them both out of office in 2012.

        • JenB

          If I contend that both parties are responsible for the problems we are facing, will you contend that the measures Obama is taking is only making the situation worse? Pitting the middle class and poor against the rich is not productive and history has proven that it is actually dangerous. Continuously spending money like it is running out of style is not working. Nothing he is doing is working. I will give him Bin Laden, but last I checked, offing OBL isn’t creating jobs. I could go on and on, but I rather not get carpel tunnel.

          To say that it is a grand assertion that a third party candidate would benefit one party over the other, is naive and shows that you really don’t know your history. It is said that history tends to repeat itself.

          This grand assertion has happened before. Ross Perot allowed Clinton to win with like 42% if I am not mistaken. (might be a point or two off on the %) The MAJORITY of the country voted against Clinton, yet, he still won. Basic math can show you that a candidate CAN win WITHOUT a majority of the population wanting that candidate as their President. If 30% went to Paul and 30% went to Romney and 40% went to Obama, 60% (a majority) of the country didn’t want Obama. That is why a third party run is not good.

          You are right in that republicans and democrats contributed to the problems of the U.S. What you must understand though is that the democrats have committed much more to the demise of the U.S. than the republicans. Why can I confidenty say this? It has to do with the ideology that each party holds to. Democrats almost always have a tax and spend agenda in regards to spending for social programs and taxing the hard working achievers. Many republicans do not have their minds operating correctly, but it is only in the republican party that you will find the right ideology that espouses conservatism. Liberalism, espoused heavily by the dem party, is the greatest enemy to the U.S. right now.

          It seems many past Obama supporters, probably homeless and with little hope of a job to CHANGE that.. are turning to Dr. Paul.. He is someone most of us can agree on.. and yes some issues are not what any conservative would feel good about but neither is most of what has gone on for many years now..
          The problem I see is you have for what 13 years politicians proclaiming I would never allow Iran to become a nuclear power.. well guess what?

      • If Newt wins the Republican nomination, and if Glenn Beck is to be consistent, then he will have to endorse Obama for a second term, or endorse a third party candidate, or endorse no one. During his railing against Newt the other morning it suddenly dawned on me that Glenn will most likely have to endorse Obama.

        Over and over again Glenn has made it plainly clear that he was glad that Obama won over McCain, because it would wake America up. McCain would continue the slow, incremental slide into socialism, while Obama would send us full-tilt into it, and Glenn has said on numerous occasions that this outcome was probably for the best, so that Americans would finally realize where we are heading.

        However, if Newt somehow manages to win the nomination, then obviously Glenn’s work is not yet done. Afterall, if even conservatives vote for Newt in large enough numbers to get him the nod, rather than them voting en masse for real conservatives like Bachman or Santorum, then something has gone wrong and conservatives are still asleep; certainly Americans in general must still be asleep to the truth then.

        And so, in a race between Obama and Newt, Glenn’s only consistent course of action would be to endorse Obama, or vote for a third-party candidate like Ron Paul, which would be the same thing. Four more years should be enough to finally wake America up, eh Glenn?

        • Voting third party is NOT the same as endorsing Obama. Not even close. When you vote your conscious (third party or otherwise), you are making a statement that you are a voter and you support that candidates beliefs/plans, etc.

          I think Beck was ABSOLUTELY right about McCain. (I voted for McCain-Palin only because of Palin). I would hope, if Newt gets the nomination, Beck will change his mind. But I’d much rather prefer Ron Paul got the nomination. I think it’s still quite possible he can pull it off… but probably not likely.

          Voting for Obama is voting for socialism. Voting third party may end up “helping” to elect Obama, but it’s not even close to endorsing or voting for him. So no, Glenn would not be consistent if he would endorse Obama. He might be consistent if he went third party.

          I haven’t ever voted for a candidate I truly liked since Ross Perot. I knew both Bushes were traitors and I was proven right both times. Bush II was the worst of all. Medicare Part D, No Child Left Behind and getting himself involved in wars he was too afraid to fight. (6 months surrounding Fallujah, WTF?). Bush was one of the WORST presidents ever. He is what gave us Obama.

          • You’re welcome to make your statement, as it everyone else, but at the end of the day, conservatives voting for a third party candidate this time around ensures Obama wins. Idealism is wondeful, but if your guy doesn’t get elected, only the other guy’s initiatives get put into law. Period. You say Bush was horrible; fine. But at least with him in there we had some influence on him, such as getting him to drop the amnesty plan he had in mind, and stopping him from nominated whats-her-name to the Supreme Court. I don’t see us having much sway over what Obama does. And that is a big difference, whether you liked Bush or not; we were his base of support, and so we had a say in how he governed. We have Nothing to use on Obama to get him to change his plans. We remove him through this election, or we don’t. Period.

    • Why is Paul a disaster? Please don’t give me the usual remarks that he’s crazy, a nut or a loon. I’d like to hear, in a meaningful way, how Paul is a disaster. Yes, we all know you don’t like his foreign policy, but that can’t be the only reason. Is one man’s foreign policy more important than the people of the US finding a job? Get the priorities in order and stop following the “I hate Ron Paul” talking points.

      • What good is a job if the country is destroyed? I don’t think you realize that wars happen all the time and the only reason that the US is still standing is because it is stronger than the rest. With Ron Paul, he’d do away with that. This is why Ron Paul is a certified nut job. He doesn’t understand what consequences the fall of Israel will mean to the Western world. He has no idea why the 9/11 attack happened on that date. He believes that if you play nice, people who have been brought up to hate everyone who is not like them will suddenly also play nice. This kind of gullibility is not only extreme in size, it is exactly what many Arab countries have been waiting for. In fact, they are counting on it and profiting from this from liberals to make the West believe whatever they want… and Ron Paul wants to deliver all of the liberal naiveté to them on a silver platter wrapped in a libertarian décor.

        So your priorities are really messed up. FATALLY messed up. The belief of utopia when people want to kill you regardless of what you do is the very definition of insane.

        Next time you ask yourself why people think Ron Paul is nuts, ask yourself this, “What good is my job if I’m dead?” Freedom and security go hand in hand. Ron Paul doesn’t understand that.

        • Insert Ben Franklin security vs liberty quote here. But seriously? We spend more on defense than the rest of the world combined. I think we can afford to scale back a little, especially when the boogyman is Iran. Yeah their leadership nuts, and scary things can happen there, but we really don’t need trillions upon trillions of dollars every year to deal with that problem. Besides, everyone else on planet Earth hates them too. That is including the Arabs. Iran is working very hard to get more Middle Eastern states to convert to a theocratic style of government, and the old order isn’t too happy about it. King Abdullah in particular doesn’t like it. State on State violence has been very rare since WWII. If you are seriously concerned about an armed invasion of the United States you are beyond delusional.

  • The last time we had a Republican president and a Republican congress we got Medicare Part D, the Patriot Act, the TSA, and No Child Left Behind. The only GOP candidates I trust not to repeat those mistakes are Ron Paul and Gary Johnson. The rest don’t even talk a good game to me.

    • THIS!!!! Thank you. I’m not convinced that Newt would be better. At least with Obama in there and a republican congress we have gridlock which is a hell of a lot better that what we had last time with a republican congress and president.

      • I need to like this a few hundred more times. If Newt or Romney are elected, they will co-opt the Republican Congress and we’ll end up only slightly less f-ed than if Obama won a second term. Ugh!

This is exactly why I stopped watching him on Fox (and didn’t join GBTV). Glenn is an excellent performer and informed on conservatism (not close at all to the level of the Great One, Mark Levin). Glenn will draw you in and then will backstab you when you least expect it.

I can take or leave him on a lot of stuff lately- and while he’s made quite a name for himself, but he’s totally lost me now. I’m not for Newt at all either, but third party? That’s crazy talk coming from someone who ought to know better.

    I might not understand everything about politics- It wasn’t that long that I had to ask what would happen if a third party (Sarah) would run, but I understood the ramifications of that.

      I’ve listened to him hawk gold for some time now, too. Now, I’ve bought gold over the last couple of years and made good money on it. But if the economies collapsed, as he says they will and you need gold to protect you, I can tell you that gold won’t help at all. With no governments around, what you need is barter material (TP, cigs, booze, etc) and plenty of lead! Gold would just be pretty doorstop material. He’s made good money preaching it, though.

      • I don’t have any gold, not much of the barter materials you speak of (lol) but we’re pretty good on lead and other assorted items 😉

        • Anonymous

          Hehe, lead is a very good start.

      • The old world economies are fixing to collapse, but there is enough wealth there that its not going to be an “every man for himself” type of deal. Besides its not like this is going to reach all places across the globe. South America is doing quite well at the moment especially Argentina and Brazil. The U.K. is taking steps to protect themselves from a collapsing EuroZone, and is taking steps to help their financial situation. Many Asian nations are looking to be big players in the coming decades. Youll have a place to redeem your gold. That said, I can’t believe how much it has gone up. Generally gold has a fairly stable purchasing power regardless of where it is in relation to the dollar. Right now it is way above that. I realize it is there to reflect the monetary base which is also sky high, but I can’t believe its gone this high already. I would probably sell. If indeed the monetary base becomes an inflation problem you should have time to buy the gold back, and you protect yourself from a huge loss if gold prices fall back to Earth.

        • Anonymous

          I’ve bought gold from $700 to $1000, with the intention to sell it at $2000. At $1900, it took a turn downward to where it is now (due to Soros’s money getting out), but if the Euro collapses, it will easily hit $2500. However, I believe all world markets will follow Europe, as they aren’t very smart about it. If gotten out early enough, I will have plenty of stocked up barter supplies. Just my humble opinion. Gold or money, they won’t mean much.

      Ron Paul is not anti – Israel. Israel, or any other country is not his main focus. His focus is the economy, cutting spending, auditing the federal reserve, and eventually ending the federal reserve, lowering taxes, and getting Big Brother to stop watching each and every one of our moves with bills like the patriot act, and agencies like the TSA and EPA. Israel and foreign affairs are on the bottom of his list of priorities at this time because of the dire economic state, see unemployment rate.

If you vote for Newt or Romney you’re voting for more of the same from Obama and Bush and the blood will be on your hands. Ron Paul as a third party will take votes from both sides because he supports the people, not his party.

    Seems Beck’s rating are down and he needs contraversy to boost them back up. Beck peaked on 8/28/2010.

  • Mitt Romney is a bad politician. Newt Gingrich is a dangerous man. If Gingrich were the nominee I’d vote for One-bama. Why? Because better to vote for the obvious evil than vote for an evil guy whose masquerading as a conservative. When One-bama destroys the country at least the Dems will take the blame. When Gingrich destroys the country the GOP and Tea Party will get the blame.

    Gingrich would be a Christmas present to the Progressives because they know he’ll jump into bed, or on the couch, with anybody who will increase his power and wealth.

    Here’s a clue for you all: Do you know why Newt did the spot with Nancy Pelosi on Global Warming? Because like all the other lobbyists in DC he was hopping to cash in on all the money to be spent funding carbon sequestration. Newt Gingrich can be bought and the price ain’t that high.

    It’s a moot point now because when Beck gets done exposing Newt he’ll be lucky to win Iowa.

    Did I mention that Newt was evil?

    BTW: I don’t think Beck would support Ron Paul.

            Romney’s conservative accomplishments? Piece of cake.

            In one term as Gov. of MA, Romney:

            –balanced the budget every year
            –turned a $3B dollar deficit into a $2B surplus, without raising taxes and while reforming healthcare, which, fools, has brought the premium of the average individual down
            –vetoed in-state tuition for illegal aliens
            –deputized state police officers to check for immigration papers at stops and arrest illegals
            –led the fight against gay marriage in Massachusetts
            –vetoed stem cell legislation to protect farming of the fetus (this marked his public announcement of being pro-life…and he wrote so in the Boston Globe in 2005…where the rubber met the road, when legislation hit his desk, Romney sided with the pro-life movement)

            All this, MJS, mind you, was accomplished with a state legislature that is 85% Democrat. There is more, but this should be enough to shut you up or at least make you open your mind and be honest in your attempts.

            One last: what is it that you have contributed to the conservative cause, MJS?

            • Anonymous

              Supported cap and trade styled measured in MA (the first state to do so)

              Anti-Second Amendment (furthered gun regulations)

              HE RAISED Taxes, er FEES IN THE STATE

              How many changes in his position has he had? Bottom line, he cannot be trusted and conservatives will not support him. I will stay home for Mitt.

              Yeah, because Romney is 85% Democrat, that’s how he did it.

              What have I contributed? I served my country in active duty overseas, contributed financially to veterans causes, relocated and worked on campaigns for the mid-terms in CHICAGO and I am standing by on the east coast for ANYBODY BUT ROMNEY to help their campaigns.

          Catholics, Protestants and Jews do not believe in the insane words of the Book of Mormon. The Mormon PR department has tried the “Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints” crap, and then they are attempting to tell people they are Christian to make them seem more mainstream. They are not and under no circumstances are they Christian. Simply putting “Christ” into a name, doesn’t make it so.

    Seems like Beck has moved into big head territory!

    What Paul has said about 9/11 and foreign policy should disqualify him for President in any sane persons eyes.

    I would much rather see Bachman over Newt, she is good in debates, was expousing conservative values when most of the others were still wallowing in leftist nuance. Also, having a good conservative woman POTUS candidate, would draw a lot of female votes.

    Santorum is just to far back in the pack, but would certainly support him if he could move up.

    Newt did balance the budget, and is good in debates.

    Perry I think flusters too easily and would probably lose in debates with O.

    Romney is just a rich northeast republican, which is the same as a right-leaning liberal.

      Denial does not make anyone stand on higher ground, his is entitled to his opinion.

      Do you actually believe we have not looked out for interests in the middle east , other than humanitarian?

  • Hyperbole on Glenns part. I highly doubt he would vote for Ron Paul. He continues to totally ignore Huntsman which is strange considering his relationship with Huntsman’s father. Huntsman is also the only one that wants to withdraw from Afghanistan like Glenn has advocated.

      Do you know whether or not Huntsman’s Dad believes in Darwinian Macro-evolution and manmade global-warming like his son does? Those are two great lies that taste great together, unless you’re running as a conservative. Then, they are just two more piles of soul-killing, hell-sending, money-wasting hoaxes.

      • In his book Jon Huntsman Sr. says that morally people in the past were better in their personal behavior but at the same time he has respect for the Youth who are more concerned with taking care of the Earth than his generation was. I do not know if he believes in global warming but he does think we should do more to combat pollution. Darwin was still a christian when he came out with his theory and it is not inconsistent with mormonism because we do not believe the Earth is only 6,000 years old. Instead we believe that the earth was created from already existing matter. This is consistent with the fact that it is impossible to create or destroy Matter.

          Who does believe the Earth is 6000 yrs old? The Holy Bible does not say how old it is. It does describe dinosaurs though…both land and sea dinos. Also, nothing is impossible with God Brian. he invented the laws of physics and every other scientific law.

          I heard Huntsman say with my own ears that he believes in both concepts, i.e., manmade global-warming and evolution. Whether that is at odds with the Mormanism or not, I do not know. I think the Morman Bible is 100% BS. Although there might be an edible biscuit somewhere in it, I still ouldn’t put it in my mouth.

          These three “beliefs” make Huntsman supremely gullible IMO.

          • The only place in the bible that could be said to talk about Dinosaurs is probably Revelations where it talks about a Dragon. I do not know of any other verses. Please enlighten me.

              The name dinosaur wasn’t around then. Only way they described them was to say dragon.

  • I really don’t understand Beck anymore. First, he blew the Ron Paul backed candidate for Texas Governor Debra Medina out of the race and now he wants to vote for Ron Paul. Glenn Beck is on a fast track to becoming a Legend in his own Mind!

    • He was helping Perry in that instance-Medina though very much not a true politican is a patriot and a strong believer in private property rights and seems to love the Constitution! That interview really opened my eyes to Beck!

    • Anonymous

      Thank you for reminding me of that. Beck opposed Medina after she was exposed as a “truther” while on his show. I understand Mr. Paul has not put any distance between himself and the “truthers”, if anything Mr. Paul has been willing to embrace the “truthers”, not so good.

  • Republicans see Gingrich, Romney as “Acceptable” Nominees (gallup poll)

    Candidates Acceptable / NOT Acceptable
    Gingrich —- 62% / 34%
    Romney —- 54% / 41%
    Perry —— 41% / 52%
    Bachmann– 37% / 56%
    Paul ——- 34% / 62%
    Huntsman– 28% / 58%
    Santorum — 27% / 62%

    Newt Gingrich (62%) and Mitt Romney (54%) are the only two candidates Republicans say would be acceptable presidential nominees from their party, emphasizing the degree to which the GOP race has narrowed down to these two men at this juncture. A majority of Republicans say each of the other six candidates measured would not be acceptable nominees.

      There is only one poll that I trust. It has a margin of error +/- value of 0. It’s nukeman’s vote and noone else. I haven’t seen any good citizens vote yet and no poll of 300-1000 hand-picked people is going to tell me which way the country is leaning. Sorry.

      • Well polls can change, we all know that, and I think Santorum’s not-acceptable rating should change after his strong debate performance last time

    Beck had a call in talker soon after his Newt interview. The guy made it clear he was a BIG Beck fan – had been to his shows, owned his books, subscribed to his network. But he voiced disappointment in Beck’s treatment of Newt and how Beck was derisively winking to his co-workers on air. Beck didnt’ wink once. But the callers point was Beck seemed to have a “whatever” sort of smirking attitude to Gingrich’s longer answers. But because Beck didn’t “wink”as the caller stated, Beck went on to deride the caller as disingenuous and dissembling. In short he treated this fan like crap. Not that I needed more to prove Beck is a bit of a poof. But his rude and condescending treatment of an earnest fan for a slight embellishment showed me that he’s not merely a poof. He’s a bit of a prick. An overly sensitive, conspiratorial prick at that.

    I wish all media outlets would allow presidential candidates into each debate with only one requirement; that they have held elective office at the state or federal level for at least one term. Exceptions can be made, but we shouldn’t go off of poll numbers and money raised to decide who gets in the debate.

    How else will we get good ideas to surface?

  • Voting for Newt would be to destory all of the work of 2010. It would teach the younger generation that Newt is a conservative. Truth be told, Obama being in office has been the best thing to wake up the conservative movement. Mitt has no principles and can be swayed by an organized conservative base. Newt, however, actually has leftist tendencies that he will doubtless follow.

    • If the media would have done their job you would see in black and white just how detrimental Obama is to this country and you wouldn’t be saying Newt is the same. Though not perfect Newt is far more acceptable than 4 more years of Obama.

          Exactly, they did the same thing to Governor Palin in 2008 and the libs are still doing it. I did not see anyone of the GOP come to her aid. Oh I forgot she is not a DC insider. I recall Rush saying the left will let you know who they fear. Governor Palin is not in the race and I’m sure the left is very relieved that Governor Palin is not in the race.
          I think they would be happy if it were Mitt or Newt. Governor Palin our country needs you, you have a proven record and are your own person, beholding to no one!!

    Voting for Paul over Newt would guarantee a win for the GOP. It is and has been known that many on the left would vote for Paul over Obama, but not Newt over Obama. Independents would also embrace Paul over Newt vs Obama. If the GOP can’t bring others over from the left and gather those in the middle they don’t stand a chance and that’s where Paul comes in b/c he is wanted by so many on both sides.

    I’ve posted this to Rshill7, but I’ll repeat it here as well.

    I’m beginning to think that Beck is even running ahead of his own ADHD. It grieves me because he has sure informed a lot of Americans about a lot of things, even though he has failed to give credit for some of the material he’s scoffed. Breitbart has pointed this out.

    But both Breitbart and Beck are super super egos. I like them both but I recognize that their egos do get in the way… but their egos drive them as well. And that’s a character weakness for sure, and can be unethical… in the case of Beck scoffing material that is not his. He’s taken from Horowitz and others without attribution. And Pamela Geller says that attribution is the currency of trade in the blogosphere. Even Beck’s book, Original Argument, does not belong to him… it was written by Joshua Charles, but you won’t find Charles’ name on the cover, just in the introduction. Beck talks a good game about ethics and humility… but there is no humility in publishing a book with his own name bigger than the title… yet the real author (translator actually) is relegated to a post introduction introduction.

    But I still like and appreciate Beck… what I don’t quite buy into is this perfection quest that is happening. A hero is dropped off the cliff in one day… if the hero says something stupid. I see a lot of Beck bashing… and to be sure, this comment from Beck about Newt/Obama is just baffling. Can Newt be called a progressive? Sure on some things… but we live in an all-or-nothing perfection seeking world… particularly in the blogosphere… and God help someone if they slip up. I really don’t know if there’s a maturity deficit, or an unwillingness to see that even our heros have flaws… and if the flaws show… then trash him.

    Anyway… that’s just my thoughts.

      I appreciate your point. But if I disagreed with it and decided to call you a homosexual for your stance, would I be justified to do so? NO, I would not. And if I came back tomorrow to further explain why I disagreed with you, without ever addressing the poorly placed homosexual remark, I would be wrong (VERY wrong). Let’s see what Beck says tonight.

      No offense, btw, to your sexual preference. None of my d… business.

            Oh now I see what your comment was about. Yeah… you’re absolutely right… totally agree. The race baiting thing from Beck was really baffling and was just sooo what the liberals do. Yeah… I’m going to sit on the web and see what Beck has to say… I sure hope he addresses it

            The fact that I like Beck a lot makes it difficult to explain his remarks… I hope he just had a hiccup in his circumspection meter.

            My other remarks were just addressing a broader problem I see a lot… namely that some people have a tendency to really dump on someone they previously held in high esteem, or pile on when the chips are down for someone. I see it with Newt, with Beck now, I saw it with Cain. There is a level of demonization going on as well against imperfect candidates… and talk of voting third party which imho is just nuts.

                Man… couldn’t agree more. I’d vote for an empty tuna can over Obama… does that make me a racist? I hope he does resolve it, because this could really wreck him big time and destroy any good will and credibility he has built up with conservatives.

  • carver donnelly

    People You do realize that at least one of the Supremes will probably retire during the next term? Do you think allowing Obama to place another liberal on the court is worth waking up conservatives by voting third party? Do you realize what is at stake? How can you entertain this notion?

      I expect one to go before Obama leaves (whether it be through (forced)retirement or unexpected death?!?). Doesn’t matter if he leaves in 2012 or 2016, he will do something to cause one of the conservative justices to go. With a bench full of left-leaning justices, the laws will be skewed for decades to come.

      By forced, I mean Chicago style.

    Beck also made a strong argument that while Romney has been Progressive at the State level, Grinchich is a proven Progressive at the Federal level and he still is and will be as President.

    Beck also said vote for the BEST candidate in the Primary. He warned that it is the political class and media who sets the fear narritive of “we need some who can beat Obama”.

    He also pointed out that the media is being silent on all of Newt’s Big Government Insider baggage until the general election. In other words is he really as “electable” as we are being spoon fed by the media?

    I will not vote for a Progressive. If it takes an independent thIrd party run to take back the Republican Party, will support it.

    Progressives have destroyed America. I will not vote for one because he wears an elephant suit and is not as radical a Progressive as Obama.

    I’m sorry guys, but I cannot get excited about either Romney or Gingrich. And I have to conclude that if Gingrich got the nomination that he would indeed give the VP nod to Romney. They’re interchangable no matter what. I’m sick of settling for someone who I know is totally against us. Ron Paul is not the answer either. We are all just so frustrated that we have no one who carries our ‘REAL’ message of Conservatism, that we end up fighting each other over who is the WORST candidate, not the BEST.

    WE’RE SCREWED EITHER WAY.

    This is another indication that Glenn needs to keep his comments about the candidates to himself and encourage people in their own communities to get involved with caring for one another and not look to the government, etc. Most of the people who watch Glenn are not Zombies and they take good information and use it. But they also think for themselves. Glenn did not open my eyes in 2007 my eyes were opened to the dishonest MSM and I went looking for more information and stumbled across Beck while he was still on CNN. I learned a lot from Beck and hopefully he will get back to not sticking his nose in the political candidates and educate the youth and others on all the history they have missed because of the Progessives trying to rewrite history. I try not to have knee jerk reactions to one or two statements that people make but look at the big picture. Newt is a complicated candidate. Remember that he balanced the budget under Clinton and that is a Tea Party position, he voted against the tax increase that Bush one got passed. A balanced budget in it’s self would limit the size of government. That too is a Tea Party position. Newt believes in the second amendment and is a strong supporter of Israel. This information about him is enough to make him way to the right of OBAMA. So Beck is absolutely wrong on Newt. I am still a Perry supporter and I will not change that support until another candidate has won the R nomination. Perry has a proven record. Beck is wrong to encourage a third party candidate this go round. Ron Paul cannot win unless he gets the R nomination and I do not think that will happen. If Ron wanted to be an Independent he should have left the R party a long time ago.

    Who does believe the Earth is 6000 yrs old? The Holy Bible does not say how old it is. It does describe dinosaurs though…both land and sea dinos. Also, nothing is impossible with God Brian. he invented the laws of physics and every other scientific law.

    I heard Huntsman say with my own ears that he believes in both concepts, i.e., manmade global-warming and evolution. Whether that is at odds with the Mormanism or not, I do not know. I think the Morman Bible is 100% BS. Although there might be an edible biscuit somewhere in it, I still ouldn’t put it in my mouth.

    These three “beliefs” make Huntsman supremely gullible IMO.

  • I really don’t understand Glenn Beck anymore. I used to think he had pretty good ideas on values and principles and what is the best course of action for the USA but not anymore. Glenn’s idea of ”tear the house down to save it” is an absolutely insane position to take.

    I mean really think about it. If you don’t get the nominee you want you are going to run and vote thrid party which would guarantee another 4 years of Obama the man you want to remove in the first place??? Get real Glenn because that makes you sound like a cry baby throwing a temper tantrum. You know that a vote for a third party will ensure Obama another 4 more years to completly destroy any hope of restoring the USA domestic eceonomy and foreign policy credability in the world.

    Why the self destruction??

    First you say if Newt was the nominee you would want to vote for Ron Paul third party. Then you say you are really a Rick Santorum supporter and not a Bachmann supporter after you gave such glowing praise on Bachmann and sofball ”i love you” questions in your interview with her.

    If that is the truth (you are a Santorum supporter) then explain to me why you have given multiply interviews with Bachmann over the past 3 months and yet the last time you interviewed Santorum was way back in July over 5 months ago!!! Your arguement is just a weak as your ”guilt by association” arguement about Newt being a progressive just because Newt liked early TR. Reagan liked FDR…same arguement??

    Oh but lets go one better. Rick Santorum, your ”choice” as you claim which I do not believe, said he learned his conservative ideals from Newt and Newt’s ideas on Conservatism made him (Rick Santorum) the Consistant Conservative he is today. THOSE ARE RICK SANTORUM’S OWN WORDS!!! Therefore, by your definition, Rick Santorum must be a Progressive as well. Don’t believe me….listen to the end of the last debate and you will hear Rick Santorum say those very words!!!

    Rick Santorum is a great Conservative Candidate but Newt Gingrich is also a great Conservative Candidate and the two that I think are the best ones as the nominee for the Republican Nomination. I think a Gingrich/Santorum or Santorum/Gingrich would be a slam dunk Reagan scale landslide victory. But under your thoughts you would be voting Ron ‘crazyman” Paul third party and doom us to Obama for another 4 years.

    Glenn, if I may call you Glenn, you have totally lost any credibility with your positions over the past two weeks. (first, obvious bais interviews with candiates over Bachmann ”lovefest”, smearing Newt, and now vote against the Party) You have made weak arguements with insane positions that are irresponsible and insulting to tea party members, Conservatives, and now Republicans in general. As I see it, the only one in this arguement that is definitely not conservative is you.

    To me is seems obvious that something in your life is not going right. You look tired and you are making critical mistakes in your judgement and your positions are not rational. You have become a hypocrite because you preach ”malice toward no one” then you engage in malace now even against the Republican party by advocations of I will vote against the party.

    Glenn, seek help, grow up, clean the fog from your eyes and take off the bais blinders. Look at the whole picture and what would happen with another 4 years of Obama. The nation cannot afford it! You actions are playing right into the hands of our enemies because all you are doing is creating anarchy in the party. I respectfully ask you….PLEASE STOP!

    • your suffering under the delusion that Obama is different that George bush and the republicans are different than the democrats. the average people who belong to these parties do have different view but the establishment of both parties want more welfare more warfare more debt more spending and more government wake up for god sake OPEN YOUR EYES AND SEE

      • what your are trying to say makes no sense. look at my post and read it again. the whole thing not just the first sentence. And yes my arguement is sound because it is based in fact not guilt by association. if anyone needs to open their eyes….it is YOU!

    Glenn is trying to save face and be consistent here. But its not working. With all the shouting he does about standing up for Israel you’d think Ron would be the last guy he’d say he could bring himself to voting for. He just doesn’t make any sense at the moment. To save any credibility he has remaining with the Right, Glenn should recant and admit he has gone overboard with this Newt thing. Otherwise, he should get lost! I always thought it’d be something over-the-top he would say that would end his career as a credible political pundit and social harbinger and I always thought that ‘over-the-top something’ would be something said against the overwhelmingly left-dominated media, but I think I just might have been wrong; it looks as if he’s destroying his credibility within conservative movement and not with the left (not that the left would admit he had any with them anyway). What a shame. Lord Acton’s oft quoted maxim seems to have been proven true once again: “Power tends to corrupt, and absolute power corrupts absolutely.” Glenn has let the influence he wields with his fans on the right get to his head.

        So what you’re saying is that over a 40 year span he’s had a handful of non-conservative positions that outweigh creating the first Republican majority in the House in 5 decades, etc? Also, a lot of the things you’re saying are assertions, especially his “push for global warming legislation,” in which he testified against it. You can find it online or in congressional records. Co-sponsoring bills with Pelosi 418 times? How many of those involve post office names? His ethics charges were eventually thrown out. NAFTA is conservative, free trade, he didn’t support TARP, he like Paul Ryan, said they’d support TARP over nothing because doing nothing would have been disastrous and increased the power of Obama.

        He’s made mistakes over his career, no doubt, but he’s been willing to say when he’s done so and learned from them, which is much better than Obama or even Romney,

    This whole thread reminds of how the left turned on Beck at CNN when he moved from Bush criticism Obama criticism.

  • Professor Why

    And with this, he’s lost me as a listener. So, he claims both Romney and Gingrich are progressives, yet he’d vote for Romney (caveat being if he “had a gun to his head”)… However, if it was Gingrich, he’d be more likely to vote for Ron Paul third-party… He CLAIMS he’s against progressives, yet he’d vote for Romney, who he claimed was a progressive…

    Couple this with his previous statement that it’d have to be about race (in his opinion) if Tea Partiers voted for Gingrich in the primaries and got him the nomination, and I’m done with Beck. As I’ve stated repeatedly, ANY of these candidates is better than the idiot that’s residing in the White House at the moment. I haven’t settled on any of the candidates yet because, frankly, I think they all stink. But I’d still hold my nose and vote for ANY of them in the general election over the Marxist-in-Chief.

  • Beck is correct about Newt. It would be a tough call between voting third party for Paul or GOP for Gingrich. But there’s no question as to which one is more conservative, and it’s not Newt.

    Gingrich has the added disadvantage of being a poor general election candidate. Newt’s personally ugly baggage that the GOP primary voters are willing to look past will define him in the minds of the average general election voter. He would be a colossal mistake as the GOP nominee.

    I also agree with Beck that, of the field, Santorum is the best candidate.

    • So you think social conservatives willing to look past Newt’s ugly baggage will nominate him, but center-right to center-left people, who tend to focus more on economic and fiscal policy, are going to be turned off by his failed marriages a decade after it became news?

      • if it is a choice between a full blown depression with 4 more years of Obama and economic recovery under Newt…you bet your butt they will vote!!!

    • Chocula….your logic just like Glenn Becks is so messed up…. it is sad.

  • Paul also seems to understand when to play the long game. He knows he’s helped change the course of the country. Running third party and assuring an Obama victory basically destroys everything he’s helped do over the last 4 years and probably hurts his son’s chances of rising to the stage to pick up where his dad left off.

    I agree with the guy who said it’s a Mormon thing. I remember 4 years ago when he was pretty much off the air to go and run around with Romney. I don’t believe a word he says about not knowing who to vote for, etc…. He knows a Bachman or Santorum surge is pretty much out because of the time involved. Who else would benefit other than Romney? He’s a complete sell out and just like a Muslim is able to lie to further the cause, I bet he’s gotten permission from the higherups in SLC. I agree with Breitbart, He’s dead to me.

  • The post on here are ridiculous. Ask this how did Obama win against McCain? Independents would be the answer. Which candidate will pull the most or if any? Ron Paul will. He also pulls Disenfranchised Democrats, Gold Bugs, Real Conservatives, Anti-War crowd, Libertarians, and Republican votes. Wow he beats Obama! Then we can have real cuts 1 Trillion the first year and balance the Budget in 3 Years. Sound money is a real nice thing too. Audit these to BIG Government Agencies. Everyone’s on the whole war thing though, If you think like that then the terrorist won.

      Obama won because he is a big fat liar and too many people believed him. It also helped a tremendous amount that the MSM covered for him and were cheerleaders for his campaign. They may have well been part of his campaign. For all practical purposes they were. That history cannot repeat itself. We know exactly who he is now.

      No it wouldn’t it doesn’t neuter him now. When he doesn’t get his way, like the EPA, he does it by Czars or executive order.

      Huh, keep it simple. Beck would rather have Paul as president than Gingrich.

  • If Ron Paul is not the nominee, Barak Obama will get another term, its just that simple. Ron Paul has a solid core of 20% even if people refuse to acknowledge that. Those supporters will not support Romney or Gingrich, or Bachmann or Santorum or any other status quo types. Period! The GOP cannot, will not win without Ron Paul support. If Ron Paul gets the GOP nomination, he will wipe the floor with Obama, and it will be a landslide, the likes of what Reagan did to Mondale.

    Take a look at this video. Molotov does a great job of explaining Ron Paul’s position of foreign policy. Unfortunately, Ron Paul is so intelligent, that he talks right over the heads of most people. Since they cant comprehend most of what he says, they think it is better to just think him a kook. Molotov does it much more layman. Take a look.

      My biggest problem with RP are his supporters, like you. You would rather give Obama a 2nd term than vote for GOP candidate.

      What does that say about you?

      • Last time we had a GOP favorite for president and a republican congress we got Medicare Part D, the Patriot Act, the TSA, and No Child Left Behind. All of this “anybody but Obama” talk is nonsense because the republican party has plenty of big government types.

        It says you don’t understand his point, that Newt and Mitt are no different than Obama. Insanity is doing the same thing over and over again. Perhaps you forget that before your duty to your party is your duty to America.

        Electing Newt is like an Obama 2nd and potentially 3rd term. Stop the corrupt carrousel of moral-less, power hungry suits. Elect someone who wants to return power to the People. Elect Ron Paul.

    wow, guys. I am voting for the nominee, effin’ period. The paulistas need not apply. Sorry folks, I’m not lookin’ forward to that ole crazy uncle or the soros cloan.

    Where the hell are good conservatives like Sara or Fred, dammit!! Fred is the major disappointment. Whatever happnd to, your Country needs you!

    We are undone if bam gets 4 more, regardless. Gridlock my arse.

    U guys better get you feces together!

  • Keep voting for the lessor of evils Republicans and you wonder why you keep getting evil? Less evil is still evil.

  • I agree, Paul is the right candidate with no baggage, no chance of cheating on his wife, a constant, and consistent candidate. Dr. No is the ideal candidate, though it will split the party just like Perot did and give it to Obozo.

    It’s now Ron Paul’s turn to rise to the top and the socialist media won’t have any dirt to expose.

  • I disagree with Ron Paul on foreign policy too, but I agree with him on everything else. Furthermore, I trust him not to flip-flop, so on the vast majority that we agree upon I am sure he would defend (2nd Amendment, actually cutting the budget, going after the Fed, etc.) Our economy has one more chance at recovery, and only Ron Paul will do it.

    Vote Ron Paul!

  • Anonymous

    I disagree…This is exactly the kind of thinking that has kept us enslaved to the one-party system (1-party with the illusion of 2-party). “We can’t let THEM win, so sure I’ll vote for a creep that doesn’t stand for what I stand for, just as long as THEY don’t win” We should not vote for a PARTY, but for a man/woman who is virtuous, honest, upright, and represents the kind of ideas and values that we hold dear. I may no agree with everything Ron Paul says, I do believe that he fits the list I just gave better than ANYONE from either party that I have seen in years, so I don’t care who wins the Republican primary, I will vote for Ron Paul.

    • “We can’t let THEM win, so sure I’ll vote for a creep that doesn’t stand for what I stand for, just as long as THEY don’t win”

      More like, “A choice between a Marxist agitator, a Chamberlain-esque libertarian appeaser, and a semi-conservative who nevertheless opposes Marixism, and who recognizes Iran for the state sponsor of terrorism that it is, really is no choice at all.”

      Thanks to the first kind of “leader,” we have radical Muslim factions spreading into positions of power that had previously held them at bay. Presumably, based on what he’s said about Iran (for example), the second kind of “leader” would be just fine with that, i.e. having adherents to radical Islam in the highest seats of control and influence in a politically and economically critical region of the world. After all, if we just extend an olive branch and leave the Middle East, then maybe they’ll denounce the edicts of their own religion and see America in a whole new light, right after they finish torching Israel.

      To people who aspire to intellectual steadfastness and ideological purity, I can see the appeal of Ron Paul. Like leftists, they’re sure that their way is the One True Way, despite the many historical and contemporary examples of the failures of socialism and giving a demonstrably despotic regime the benefit of the doubt.

  • If enough people vote for a third party, the third party can win. Voting for the lesser of two evils has our great country on the verge of collapse. We need a real reformer to cleanse Washington of these dirty traitors that become wealthy at our expense. We can just as easily say “if Paul runs as a third party and we don’t vote for Paul, we are giving the election to the same establishment.” Wake up America and prove that you are individuals, free from media manipulation ,before every ounce of individuality is taking from us by force.”

  • Anonymous

    I used to feel the same way as Beck. All the candidates are a joke (especially Gingrich who is the most dangerous). Even though I didn’t agree with Ron Paul’s foreign policy, we’re going to be broke and unable to defend ourselves anyway with the course we’re on.

    But something happens when you commit to supporting someone. You actually listen closely to what they’re saying. Ron Paul’s foreign policy is not crazy at all and would actually keep us SAFER. Even before 9/11 we’ve been intervening in these Middle East dustbowls, which is equivalent to poking a hornets nest. We need to stop poking the hornet’s nest, get out of there, and stop being the policemen of the world. We can’t afford it anymore anyway! This is a pure conservative position.

  • Anonymous

    You presume that Ron Paul would only split the republican vote, which is flatly untrue. Every poll shows that at the most, 20% of voters consider themselves liberals, these are the only people who will vote for Obama no matter what. Ron Paul easily appeals to a LOT of democrat and former democrat voters who do not identify themselves as such. As a 3rd party candidate he will draw heavily from both sides. Look at any poll, congress is LOATHED, only two parties in there, and Ron Paul is pointing out the obvious escape from the circular trap they created for the American voter.

      • you forgot this one too.

        OH NO!…..Gingrich and Pelosi co-sponsored a bill authorizing an award for Mother Teresa..

        Since you have blasted soo much so fast lets just take a look some that are just STUPID!

        First, many of your points are in fact trivial…. for example:
        05/17/2011 – He has an outstanding debt to Tiffany’s Jewelry of between $250K – $500K. …..SO WHAT! Its his money…are you saying he cannot spend his money??
        06/09/2011 – His own campaign staff resigned en masse.
        That’s right….his campaign at the time was running out of money and count not pay for staff.

        Some are miss-truths
        10/07/2011 – He said he’d ignore the Supreme Court if need be. —in fact Newt stated he would follow the constitution in asserting he would follow the path laid down by Thomas Jefferson as to overrulling the Supreme Court if it overstepped its authority. So are you saying obeying the Constitution is bad??

        03/25/2011 – He plans to sign as many as 200 executive orders on his first day as president.—-finish the sentence….and it is within the first 2 hours he said because these orders would FIRE the Unconstitutional Czars and resend up to 40% of all the executive orders signed by Obama. WHAT IS WRONG WITH THAT???

        Lastly, many are just lies and distortions.
        for example:

        12/08/2008 – He was paid $300,000 by Freddie Mac to halt Congress from bringing necessary reform. That is false. He was hired to give consulting advise as to how to interpret Dodd-Frank and he told them it was crazy and causing a bubble and showed them ways to stop insolvence. In other words he was giving advise as to how not to create the bubble and stop the housing market from imploding. They did not follow his advice and look what happened…the housing market collapsed.

        or
        05/15/2011 – He backed Obama’s individual mandate; “All of us have a responsibility to help pay for health care.” That is a lie and distortion of the truth. He is against ObamaCare and has committed to repealing it.

        04/17/2008 – Made a commercial with Nancy Pelosi on Climate Change. Yep…he did that but it was to promote that Conservatives are for making a better planet and it is not just owned by the DemocRATic. Also, it must be noted Gingrich has always been against Cap and Trade which is the cover for climate change legislation.

        Overall, you have just cut and pasted smear from some website and did not research the total facts. I am sure I could destroy most all your points but since you are an obvious Paulbot you are not worth the time.

        So as I said before, get your facts straight.

        • LOL you think the housing market collapsed because nobody listened to Newt coming out in 2008 with advice he probably copied from Ron Paul? The bubble was forming since 2001 and was predicted by Ron Paul at that time. LOL, housing bubble collapsed in Dec 2008, what a damn joke.

          • no. my point is even Newt advised against it.

        • Gingrich is a lying, immoral, sovereignty shredding piece of CFR trash. You can try to deny it and twist the facts, but it’s oh so obvious. He will not win in Iowa or New Hampshire, and he sure as hell isn’t going to win the nomination.

          Here, debunk his voting record. *chuckles*

          http://speakup-usa.com/?p=2445

    • Dude….get your facts straight. your half truths are false and misleading. what ever kooky website you cut and pasted from is distorting the truth.

      P.S. this is the second post you have made saying the same thing. please stop with the cut and paste smear.

      • what about his post was misleading? any specifics?

  • Beck has lost it, makes you wonder if he wants Obama to have another term so he has something to speak about the next 4 years with this garbage he is spewing lately. Not even sure what to say.

    Beck lost me.

  • A tree is known by it’s fruit. What has Newt done? What has Ron Paul done? Which one is actually Republican?

  • comicalcupcake

    I can see why he would do that. I plan to do the same. If Republicans are just as bad as the Democrats, who is there left to vote for? What good does it do to have a Republican president? A Gingrich presidency would do more harm to the party than a second Obama term. Harm to the party is harm to the country if there is nobody left to stand for what is good. And if everyone voted for those who they truly thought were the best, rather than those who they thought had a chance of winning, we would get good guys and gals in office more often.

    That’s because, Glenn, you’re not thinking past your “third-party” folly. Obama will finish off this country by appointing more leftists on the Supreme Court and the district and appeals courts where the left likes to play. The courts are where leftist policies go to live or die. Apparently by suggesting a run by a for-sure loser spoiler (John Anderson, Ross Perot anyone?) Obama will get his wish.

  • Although I’m a hardcore conservative, I’ve never had much use for Glenn Beck — not because I’ve never liked him, but because he’s never offered me anything that I wasn’t already getting from my go-to intellectuals and media folks (Sowell, Friedman, Limbaugh, Levin, Coulter, Krauthammer, O’Reilly, et al.).

    After this, he is on my radar as a dangerous loose cannon. If he’s playing with the idea of going third party, fine, more power to him, but stating so publicly at a time like this is just alarmingly dangerous. Talk about your consternation.

    Shut your pie hole, Glenn!

    Obama: corrupt warmed over version of Bush.
    Gingrich: corrupt warmed over version of Bush.
    Ron Paul: principled conservative dedicated to putting America AND its constitution back on the track.

    If Paul runs third party, I’m voting for Paul on the third party ticket! This is a no brainer. The reason some other posters say they would hold their nose and vote for Gingrich is because they know the average American voter doesn’t know squat about current affairs and American interests. All they know is what political gang they identify with. Sad. Either vote for Ron Paul or get ready for another four years of the Obama-nation.

  • The idea of Republicans getting mad about voting for anyone but whom they nominate is simply insulting. We have lived with the notion that Republicans have been conservatives and small government for generations, when in fact they were just Democrat-lite. The Republicans didn’t learn their lesson when they nominated McCain and we got stuck with Obama. It is true that another 4 years of Obama would destroy this country, but voting for 4 years of Gingrich or Romney is equally disturbing. I for one, will not throw my vote carelessly at any candidate just because the establishment tells me to. Nominate someone worth while and I’ll vote for him. Otherwise, I will look somewhere else. My principles are not compromising. Every American (Tea Partier or other) should have this mentality. Isn’t the approach Mike Savage taking what got us into this mess? Just a disgrace how Republicans think their constituents are just dumb Americans.

  • I wouldn’t vote for Newt if my life depended on it. I love my country too much.

  • The author claims that Newt will be better than Obama…yeah right. Both are big government progressives and Gingrich will not be a noticable improvement over Obama. Its not coincidence that they both talked about Theodore Roosevelt as their insipiration on the same day.

    I don’t think that his reasoning is wrong at all. If Newt gets the nomination Obama will be elected, no doubt. In that event I want my vote to mean something.

    In 2008 I was prepared to write in a vote rather than to vote for either Obama or McCain – who was bound to lose from the get go. When Palin was added to the ticket then I felt justified in voting Republican in an attempt to help make the vote less of a landslide. I still felt sick doing it.

    If Gingrich gets the nomination then we might as well forget about the Republican party and start a new party. If Republicans aren’t going to nominate a truly inspiring conservative with real ideas and a real track record then they better at least nominate someone who shares most of the same values, including the most important ones – and can win.

    Gingrich’s track record is spotty at best, regardless of what you try and talk yourselves into, and he has no chance to win.

    But I’m still not going to vote for Ron Paul.

  • Well, Glenn Beck has shoe assuring an Obama re-election.n what an arrogant jerk he really is.
    He preaches that we HAVE to get Obama out, not matter what, and yet will vote for Ron Paul, of all people instead of the Republican nominee, if it’s Newt., there bye assuring an Obama re-election.
    I’m afraid that Mr. Beck has over estimated his importance in the lives of most Americans.
    I don’t particularly care for Newt myself, but I believe that most Republicans will vote for whoever is the nominee to get Obama out.

    Too bad Beck stands on his “moral convictions”.
    I suspect that he will soon grow tired of Texas also, because Texans will get sick and tired of his “all about me” BS.

    “This is suicide and it doesn’t get any simpler this: voting third party on our side for whomever guarantees Obama a victory. That’s it.”

    Sir, you are likely correct on your first sentence. But there is more to it. In 2000, Al Gore would have won had it not been for Nader. As a result, the Democrats have swung far to the left.

    If Paul siphons off enough of the conservative vote to cause the Republicans to lose, you can bet the same situation will occur in 2016. Conservatives will have shown the Republican establishment that they can’t be taken for granted.

    I would add that right now, Obama is largely neutralized as the Republicans hold the house. If Republicans take the Senate too, Obama would be nothing more than a pathetic object lesson in why the left is bad.

    Paul has 16% of the primary vote, best case, right now. So in the general he’d have about . . . 8%. He’ll lose as a 3rd party candidate. He’ll probably help Obama get re-elected though.

    Paul should use his power to help the country not hurt it.

    Beck is being an idiot here.

      thats retard math.. Ron Paul has 20% right now.. If hes the nominee, unless republicans are going to vote for Obama, he’ll have 50%. Plus he picks up 5-10% of the democrats, and 10% of the 60% of people who dont vote.. so thats ron paul 60-70%

        Your grammar is atrocious. For example, a period has one dot, an ellipse has 3 dots. No punctuation mark has 2 dots. “He’s” has an apostrophe. “Republicans” is capitalized. Etc.

        Your logic is also flawed. Republicans could also choose to vote for the Republican nominee over a Paul third party run, or to not vote at all. You are just making up numbers and percents. Reagan didn’t get 60% for his re-election but you expect Ron Paul to get 60% to 70% with a third party run.

    Beck is a HUGE liability to conservatism. His #1 goal has ALWAYS been to promote the Mormon Church, not conservativism. Nothing wrong wtih his Mormonism, but he kept it under wraps for his first 2 years on radio. Beck’s end-game is to be the spokesman for a populast Mormon movement.

  • Ron Paul rises above the dogma of left vs. right because he knows that there is no difference between the left and the right. The majority of the people posting here refuse to understand that Gingrich (like Bush) is not significantly different than Obama. Just look at his record. We will be going down the same road as we did in 2008 with McCain. I’m not saying Gingrich will lose to Obama, but you can count on the endless spending, wars, and the status quo to continue.

    Anyone care to point out the differences between Obama, Gingrich, and Romney? I sure as hell can’t find any.

    They all agree on foreign policy – drop bombs first, damn the innocent, and deny that those actions actually create more enemies.

    They all agree on monetary policy – create money out of thin air, keep spending like drunken sailors, no real cuts of any kind.

    They all agree on civil liberties – MOAR PATRIOT ACT! MOAR TSA!

    They all agree that government belongs in your life as much as possible, as an extension of your family.

    What exactly is the difference? People keep saying “Anyone but Obama!”, but the so-called “mainstream, acceptable choices” offer nothing but more of the same.

    Ron Paul is the only candidate that will stick to the constitution (you remember, that supreme law of the land thingy we all learned about in school?). People are beaten over the head, day after day after day after day, that the only acceptable political positions must fall somewhere in between Joe Biden and Mitt Romney. Well, sorry, but that just seems like a mechanism for control.

    Dr. Ron Paul is the only clear, distinct candidate with substantive differences from ANY candidate running for the Presidency this term.

If there’s a person that’s capitalized and made a fortune on fear-mongering, it’s him. I’ll vote for Newt or Mitt or Mr. Ed if he gets the RNP nomination. I suggest everyone else do the same. Hopefully Ron Paul doesn’t pull a Ross Perot and hand the election to the socialists. It’s going to be hard enough, as it is, to win against the massive voter-fraud the left will commit.

    • As an Independent, Paul would get many many votes from the left with his stance on no nation building, closing most of our bases and ending the insane War on Drugs.

    • I think that is the same mentality that got us Obama, people were and still are sick of the GOP. Keep it up with all of the divisions based on political parties as if it matters. Newt, Romney, and Obama are all the same, more big government and wasteful spending.

    if he didn’t want Gingrich to get the nomination, he should have been nicer to Cain. I like Santorum, but I don’t think he can win the independents. I think Michelle Bachman plays political games too much. I don’t trust if she is saying something because it true or because it will benefit her campaign. Recently Ive been agreeing with Newt a whole bunch. I believe he is saying the truth.

  • Y’know, it never ceases to amaze me how some people work. First, Beck was whining about how much of a white-hating racist Obama is, which I do not deny. He’s not the only one that’s made mention of this, or some allegation, but Beck is the one that squawked the loudest. Ron Paul’s racism, however, he apparently doesn’t seem to care about. Neither does Sean Hannity, or even Mark Levin (and let’s not forget the fact that Rumpelstiltskin hates Jews as much as Obama does). I’m tired of their softball, paddy-cake bullcrap. He has no problem farting out over the airwaves how he’ll vote for this Storm Front lover, but has a problem with Gingrich taking the same route. I’m not Gingrich booster (I despise him, as much as I do McCain, or even Obama), but this is just a sack of crap. Mark Levin said, quite a while ago, that he’d had enough of Beck, because of his intention efforts to destroy the Republican electorate base through his “third” party horse sh*t. Surely, someone that’s as smart as Beck seems to think he is should know what effect splitting the vote will have in elections, yet he doesn’t seem to care. All he wants his his sorry liberaltarian party to take power, and damn what happens to anybody else. Screw Beck. I’ll never listen to his stupid show, ever again.

    So we should vote for a “republican” that supports progressive policy because we’re afraid of a “progressive” that supports fascism?

    Yeesh, some of these comments are just absurd. mascmen7 needs to be committed to a mental health facility. As a true Reagan conservative who worked for Reagan for 12 years, here is what will happen. If Gingrich gets the nomination he will lose big to Obama. If Romney wins the nomination, he will beat Obama. Gingrich has always been in it for Gingrich. He has no idea of “public service”. He is a fraud and any “conservative” that votes for him should be punished by having to watch MSNBC 24/7 until 2016. how can you newt supporters be so stupid? You really think we can erase the last 15 years from the collective memory? The MSM already is in lockstep with Obama. All they need is a Newt to remind voters that the man is a greedy, dishonest bastard. Shame on all of you for throwing away the opportunity to get rid of Obama. I detest you all.

    • and I detest people that detest me for thinking on my own. Me thinks YOU are an obama plant.

  • This perspective assumes that the GOP alternatives to Ron Paul are *real* conservatives or *real* republicans. That view is rejected by Ron Paul supporters and by the party itself. I can hardly imagine why a real conservative would bail ship onto a Gingrich or Romney candidacy where big spending will reign, the US will strengthen its entangling alliances and big corporations will continue to suck life out of the taxpayers.

    I think most Ron Paul supporters would not vote for the GOP candidate if it’s not Ron Paul because they see him as the only candidate that is actually sticking to conservative principles (or principles at all) and they’re most likely right.

    I don’t think the GOP deserves to win by sticking another corporate shill up there. I’ll gladly crash the GOP into the ground if it means sticking up for something real.

    The comparison of Ron Paul 3rd party involving Obama and any other GOP (selected fall guy), to Bush1-Clinton-Perot, is on its face = ridiculous. Why you might ask? The predominate majority of the country did not hate/fear Clinton! There is absolutely no comparison in this election, to the Perot assured Clinton parady. The mostly emotional, war mongering GOP voter will fall for this scam, sad as this is.

    Voting for party rather than principle is why we’re here with the candidates we have. Refusing to hold out for someone who actually represents your values is a terrible reason to throw principle aside. As if there is one iota of difference between the statist Gingrich and the statist Obama.

  • Much more information was disseminated by Beck the last few months that just this one video commentary. Gingrich continues to SPIN his positions with extensive babble while NOT answering hard questions. I heard the interview with Beck. I heard nothing but walk around responses. Gingrich’s recent history of coddling Nancy Pelosi and receiving large sums of money from Fannie Mae/Freddie Mac make me firmly believe he is nothing more than a Big Government phony. He’ll say anything to make money and create controversy to bring more attention to himself for profit. GINGRICH WAS ONE OF THE FIRST REPUBLICANS TO DECLARE… “THE ERA OF REAGAN IS OVER” documented here: http://www.rushlimbaugh.com/daily/2008/01/14/the_era_of_reagan_is_not_over Yet Gingrich calls himself a Reagan Conservative? Oh really?

  • Show me how Newt is really much different than Obama. Not in word but in deed and I’ll consider your point of view. My own investigation tells me that Newt and Obama are ideologically the same. If the gop puts another progressive up against Obama, they deserve to loose. Otherwise thay will never change.

  • AN APPEAL TO ALL AMERICANS

    When looking at the real economic numbers and the cost effect results of our foreign policy closely, one can only conclude that we have become a welfare/warfare state that has already entered into a Depression, while heading towards ever more endless wars, complete bankruptcy, and the collapse of an America which we have known for more than two centuries.

    There are far more of us than those who represent the special interest group financed establishment which continues to benefit from all of the above at the expense of average Americans. Most of us can at least sense that something is drastically wrong yet we remain on our path to self-destruction if we allow status quo politicians with status quo policies to continue on.

    Whether you are a member of the Tea Party, OWS, any other group, or simply a disenfranchised individual who sees little hope, please look up, learn about, and help Ron Paul become president anyway you can. The only way we lose is if we continue to remain divided.

    Had we voted Ron Paul into office in 2008 we would at this time be well on our way to recovering the American dream. Fortunately it looks like we have one more chance to get it right. It’s probably our last chance, however, because within four years of continued status quo leadership and policies we will find ourselves in the midst of a full scale Depression and all the turmoil that it brings.

    Even if you disagree with Ron Paul on a position or two please don’t let that stop you from supporting him. Even in such a situation consider if Ron Paul won’t get you 80% of what you want while getting the country back on track to recovery. At such time it will be easier to argue about the 20% that is missing than under present status quo leadership. If we were to all wait for a candidate that gives us 100% of what we want then we will remain divided and there will be no hope.

    During this critical time in history let’s come together as a country to show that we as a people can overcome the special interest group financed status quo candidates to support and vote Ron Paul into office in 2012 so that we and our children have a better future. Please pass this on to everyone you know.

Vote Paul in the Republican primaries or its over for any chance to beat Obama this election. That’s just a hard cold fact.

    If 2008, I wrote in my dog for president rather than vote for Obama or McCain. If any of the current GOP, other than Ron Paul, wins the nomination, I will do the same in 2012. I’ve been voting for a long time. I’m fed up with the phony left-right charade that is played out every four years, as government growth and intrusiveness continues to escalate no matter who is in the White House.

  • You did so much good while you were sober, too bad you’re back on the sauce.

  • Ron Paul isn’t “the lesser of two evils,” he isn’t an alternative to the lesser of two evils, he is one of the two evils–he and Obama.

    Any man who can look the camera in the eye and blame America for 9/11, any man who can look the camera in the eye and claim that Iran has a right to become a nuclear power, any man who can look the camera in the eye and say that if would be preferable for Israel to use its nuclear weapons against its enemies than for America to become entangled in the ME, is a greater threat to our economic and political survival than Obama.

    Any man who can draw moral equivalence between Israel and her surrounding neighbors is not only a nutjob, but a man without any moral compass. Which, by the way, has been apparent in his unwillingness to reject the support of groups like Stormfront and his refusal to reject the antisemitism that is so evident in some of his followers.

    Paul is ignorant, naive to the point of being dangerous, intellectually dishonest, hypocritical to an extent that makes his advertisement against Newt laughable.

    For Glenn Beck to straight-faced make the statement he has made tells me that he has finally reached the level of insanity he has long been headed towards. The crying, the histrionics, the self-aggrandizement; Beck has reached Obama’s level of narcissism and self-deception.

    No Thanks! Glenn. We can make our own minds up without your looney guidance. You and Paul are two loons of a kind.

    • I guess opening up any book on US foreign policy prior to the year 2001 is blaming America for 9/11 right?

    You republican ideologues are just dense. Ron Paul is the only candidate that can beat Obama. If Paul is not the nominee all his supporters will either not show up, write him in, or vote for a third party. The republican leadership is nothing but trash, they are no different than the democratic leadership. A large percentage of former republicans will not vote for any of these clowns. We are not the black population that will vote for their democratic masters no matter how little they do for the black population. We have asked for results for three decades and gotten nothing but lies. Now we have McCain the Nazi passing laws to destroy due process, Boener accepting an extension of the payroll tax cut. We are not republicans anymore. You will not get our votes. So either stop ignoring Paul and Johnson or accept Obama again. The choice is yours to make, a government that represents the people or Obama for four more years.

Newt is a big government, Chicago-style, enviro-mystic scum bag who will trade off a few of Obama’s interventionist policies for many of his own.

    Ron Paul is way down the list of Republican candidates I would vote for in a primary. But if Paul does win the nomination I would vote for Ron Paul over Obama. The same goes with any of the other republican candidates.

    Mr. Beck’s pushing a third party run by Ron Paul (or any other serious republican candidate) is an endorsement for Mr. Obama.

    I think Mr. Beck has “jumped the shark”.

  • Many of you keep talking about Ron Paul being a 3rd party candidate, but he’s now polling 2nd in Iowa as a republican. A few more weeks of people speaking up about Newt, then there’s time for Ron Paul to conceivably win Iowa.

    Shame on Beck. If he wants Romney just come out and say it but to encourage third party voting is a waste and makes him look like a lying petulant fool. After all his talk about Israel and solidarity to even entertain Ron Paul is embarrassing to say the least. And I agree about Santorum.

Wouldn’t that, in the process of defeating Newt the wife-cheater “they” don’t like, in fact get obama THE RADICAL MARXIST AGITATING CHARLATAN elected??!!! Who are these people dividing us now that we have a real chance of defeating the miserable destroyer???? I don’t get it. Newt might not be the epitome of marital virtues, but FOR GOD”S SAKE, our country and our future is in an historic life and death condition right now and we are trying to unify our cause, and divide up the enemies of our cause, and to elect the most conservative president we can muster after 4 years of obamanation and destruction of the very fiber of this country. D**m all those who are doing this wicked deed. They are NOT OF US. They are charlatans and they work for the enemy; they ARE the enemy.

    For those who think Ron Paul’s foreign policy is crazy- look up the donation $ from active members of the military. Ron Paul has received more than all the other candidates COMBINED. The members of the military I know have told me directly that all we are doing is throwing money away and accomplishing nothing in terms of promoting liberty and creating a climate of benevolence towards the US. And don’t tell me we need to be in the Middle East to secure our energy interests- who has more to lose than Saudi Arabia if they can’t figure out a way to ship oil to the US?

I happened to hear him asserting that he’d vote for Paul today on the radio and my tolerance for him has just vanished permanently. He has more than just jumped the shark – he has spun off into the stratosphere and totally lost whatever credibility he had. In his zeal for GOP purity, which likely only exists in his head, he risks another Obama term by backing Paul. Beck has become what he has decried in other people who dabble in fringe political beliefs. The goal remains to get Obama out of the White House via whomever is the GOP nominee and it’s obvious now that Beck has lost sight of the big picture.

  • Reuben Alarcon

    I hate to agree with guys like Jon Stewart and Bill Maher, but it has become apparent to me that Glenn Beck has become a joke and makes all “anti-liberals” look bad. I say “anti-liberal,” by the way, because I think he’s trying to pose as a conservative, though he calls himself a libertarian, which is basically a liberal with a lot more common sense, but nonetheless a liberal. Anyway, any grown man that considers himself relatively informed, but supports Ron Paul after hearing his stance on foreign affairs (10 years after 9/11) is foolish, narrow-minded, and no better than the idiots that were hypotized by the Pied Piper, Barrack Obama. Ron Paul is a Republican Jimmy Carter; a timid, soft, scholar that doesn’t like government; the only trait of his that I admire. A Ron Paul presidency would be a complete disaster; imagine Ron Paul negotiating with Ahmedinejad when he has his finger on the trigger of a nuclear weapon aimed at Israel or with Kim Jong-Il when he sends 250,000 troops down to Seoul and confiscates hundreds of billions of dollars in American assets and demands 5 Trillion dollars or he’ll launch a gas attack onto San Francisco. Gingrich is BY FAR, the best candidate in this field. The real all-stars ARE NOT RUNNING! GET OVER IT! Anyway, Gingrich was actually WAAAAAY too conservative and radical back in the 1990s for the Republican party at that time and THAT is why they rained that sh*t storm on him that ruined his reputation. I, for one, will not be played as a fool like you Ron Paul supporters. You guys are taking Obama’s bait. He cringes at the idea of running against that fat, old, white sledgehammer Newt Gingrich.

          You are totally wrong on Ron Paul’s platform.

          “I hate Israel” – wrong, he believes Israel should make it’s own decisions and not be our puppet. Cut aid to Israel’s enemies.

          “Let’s legalize drugs, prostitution, homosexual marriage” – wrong, he believes the Federal government had no jurisdiction and decisions such as these should be left to the states

          “9/11 was an inside job” – wrong, where do you get your information from? He’s never even come *close* to saying anything like that.

          “blame america first” – wrong, he simply understands that when we wage war, we may get retaliation. This concept is proven, common sense. His argument is that our foreign policy over the last few decades contributes to the hatred that motivates terrorists. If you disagree with that, go pick up any history textbook.

          Ron Paul’s war policy is a constitutional policy. If the congress declares war, go all in, finish the job, and come home. Don’t nation-build.

    If you are a Republican, Conservative or if you love America ……voting for Gingrich a man drom the Richard Nixon era (yes that’s true) will assure an Obama victory.

    Obama will be defeated if all Republicans will vote for Ron Paul (pro-constitution and pro-individual American liberty and prosperity).

  • Newt IS my guy, and I believe he’s the one who will beat Obama. Romney, I’m not a fan, and I’m quite familiar with him, him having been my governor. When I see the mainstream media apparently trying to protect Romney’s status as the eventual nominee, it only confirms my suspicians that the left is ready for Romney and will move to destroy him once he gets the nomination.

    Newt is fricken brilliant, and can talk off the top of his head on just about any subject under the son, unlike Romney who sticks to memorized talking points, and gets noticably uncomfortable when anyone presses him, even on matters that he should be entirely ready for. Newt has a history of enacting broad, historic change in Washington, and will do so again.

    Obviously Beck doesn’t speak for the republican party, but party insiders had better be cautious as to how they go about trying to dismantle Newt. Right now the objective is to get rid of Obama, but if the party continues to treat the Tea Party elements like a whacko fringe, they risk a conservative third party in 2014, especially if/when they put up another loser and get Obama reelected.

    • Gingrich wrote the foreword for the book “Creating a New Civilization: The Politics of the Third Wave” by Alvin and Heidi Toffler where he espouses world government and a vision for America as a post-industrial police state.

      FRAUD.

      Say NO to the Newt World Order.

      Support Ron Paul and help restore the Republic.

      • Garett, so you are against someone who says…“Society needs people who take care of the elderly and who know how to be compassionate and honest. Society needs people who work in hospitals. Society needs all kinds of skills that are not just cognitive; they’re emotional, they’re affectional. You can’t run the society on data and computers alone.” …..Toffler is also frequently cited as stating: “Tomorrow’s illiterate will not be the man who can’t read; he will be the man who has not learned how to learn.”

        Lastly, no, your assetrion that Toffler is advocating a police state is, in fact, not what Toffler is advocating. So get your facts straight!

        • The FACT is that it is all futurist garbage. My 5 year old could read that and explain it. Unfortunately you appear to suffer from invincible ignorance so I’ll move on.

          • apparently you are too shallow to have actually done any research.

            • So you deny he is a futurist or that its garbage? Newt and the Tofflers proudly confess it so I’ll assume its not the former.

    • puma_for_life

      When I considered myself a progressive, I had many of the same beliefs about foreign policy that he has. I would think he would get votes from progressives who agree with him on that stuff. I wish he didn’t come across as so looney at times as he is correct on many domestic issues. I have some friends who are former Dems (Hillary supporters) who really like Paul and will vote for him if he gets on the ballot.

    Sorry but Newt-Romney is not conservative. They waste so much time just explaining away the rather fuzzy inconsistencies records when there are conservative in this race that don’t have to. I just don’t see independents really getting behind either of these guys because they cant differentiate between each other let alone Obama.

    • Hey StupidVoter….does that mean your calling Rick Santorum a liar?

  • And now I see why even Fox News was considered too “liberal” for someone like Glen Beck. I’m wondering if it’s because Mitt Romney is a Mormon and that Gingrich became a Catholic (and Glen left Catholicism and became Mormon) if after all the supposed anti-Mormon attitudes, we’re seeing the ugly Anti-Catholic rhetoric come to light. For me, I’d be happy with any of the candidates on stage Saturday Night (including Ron Paul) over Obama.

    • You’re no better than the libs who play the race the card every time somebody criticizes Obama.

  • newt is not perfect, but neither is obamney or the coward, Ron Paul. Newt isn’t everything I want in a candidate, but he’s a lot better than Mutt Romney or anyone else still in the race. Newt is NOT the establishment guy, but he would trounce Obama in any debate regarding any subject, and many minds are made up based on these debate performances.

  • Sorry for the double-post.

  • Newt Gingrich and Barack Obama are hardly any different when it comes to policy. Glenn Beck has suggested the only element that could motivate someone to vote for Gingrich over Obama is the candidate’s race, and I’m starting to believe that might be true. Gingrich supports a healthcare plan which is essentially Obamacare, raising taxes on the rich, cap and trade programs, amnesty for illegal immigrants, and the list goes on. Honestly, I can’t understand how you could even consider voting for this man if you call yourself a conservative.

    • Hey Dave (if that is your real name), repeating something over and over doesn’t make it any more true. Newt actively worked to stop Cap and Trade, and his position on immigration is not amnesty. The candidates who allude (they have no practical plan) that they will deport 10 million illegals during their first year in office will NEVER do anything that resembles such an exodus. They are lying by omission. The part they omit is the actual plan and army of ICE personnel required.

      • Maybe you’re right that misinformation is the real culprit in Gingrich’s popularity. For example, you state that Newt worked to stop cap and trade, when in fact he said as recently as 2007 in a PBS interview that he supports a cap and trade system. Hopefully as time goes on people will start to become informed on Newt’s positions and work to support a real conservative candidate in 2012.

    “If you’ve been Speaker of the House, you’re always an insider.”
    — Newt Gingrich in this hard hitting Ron Paul TV ad —

    http://youtu.be/hRdqGKA782A

  • The GOP has a Ron Paul problem that’s not going away. It’s suffered from idealogical creep that makes it no longer conservative. They abandoned the old right platform of “non-interventionism” and labeled it “isolationism”.

    They deserve whatever grief comes their way. I have no bad feelings about voting for a true conservative. Ron Paul or not at all-2012.

    • “non-interventionism” is what led to millions of dead, higher taxes, and the industrial military complex during WWII.

      Pres Bush, with his pro interventionism, would have had us across the Rhine and into Nazi Germany as soon as Hitler invaded Austria. War would have been over in one year.

      Keep touting your Neville Chamberlain policies…and just see if you don’t get another Nazi Germany.

      • You are referencing something that no longer is valid with the advent of the atomic bomb. And it wasn’t non intervention that lead to WW2, it was the global establishment that funded Hitler so he could build his blitzkreeg military. And it is the same establishment that is running the U.S right now. Nice try but your argument is flawed.

      • Actually, had the US not intervened in World War I, a peace deal would have been brokered by the powers involved that would have been much more fair to Germany, and the conditions that lead to Hitler’s rise would never have been present. Believe it or not, a little bit of history goes a long way in understanding how to implement a sensible foreign policy like Ron Paul advocates.

    • Jonathan Zaffke

      Isolationism? Isolationists do not trade with other countries. Isolationists do not allow their congress to declare war. Ron Paul simply wants to end the welfare state for foreign countries and ease up on the sanctions. His opposition to these wars is that congress did not approve of them. Ron Paul has stated that he would go to war if their was congressional approval. He is by no means, an isolationist. These are the facts.

      http://slander.revolutioni.st/isolationist.html

      DO some research, you guys claim to hold the truth, but you spread lies. I don’t understand it. What has happened to the GOP? What has happened to following the constitution? Ron Paul is here to protect our rights as human beings, to accept our own responsibility, to lessen the powers of the government. Freedom, peace, prosperity.

    I actually like Glenn Beck, but lately his outbursts and ranting about Newt is annoying and possibly damaging to our country. He needs to realize that it’s the candidate’s responsibility to get their name and message out there and do well in the polls and if they don’t, he shouldn’t be their vehicle to do it at this late in the gam., Especially by bashing and tearing down the other candidates just to pump up his choice. FYI…..I voted for Michelle Bachmann in the straw poll but she has since been very negative and spouting off several untruths regarding other candidates. Glenn and others……we need to get this man out of office and all you’re doing is encouraging 3rd party and/or voters to just stay home. There’s NO perfect candidate! Stop the garbage of dividing the party and let the primaries play out. When the chips fall I will enthusiastically support whomever the nominee is. Will you?…….or will you ensure BO’s 2nd term?

  • 3dollarbillcatcher

    Well, I was just wondering when Glenn Beck’s Mormon loyalty would expose itself. He’s been so quiet about any negatives on the part of Mitt Romney. Pay attention everyone. Glenn (God lives on Kolab with his sons Jesus and Lucifer) Beck is totally in the bag for Mitt Romney. I have observed as he mildly uses his TV show, radio show, and website to slowly help discredit all other candidates. He would pick Ron Paul. Really. Glenn called Ron Paul ‘The Sheriff of Crazy Town’. Ever heard any negatives at all like that regarding Mitt Romney from Glenn??? Not one. Just mild questions. Pay attention everyone. The war is not over truth versus lies. It’s over Truth versus “Almost Truth”. “Almost Truth” is home territory for Mr. Beck. Pay attention.

  • I’ve cancelled my GBTV and have turned Beck off my radio. A third party means 4 more years of Obama. Obama is the most destructive force in my lifetime. Glenn is a big baby …whaaaaaaaaa

  • Bunghole Stench

    I’m with you. I’m not a huge Beck listener, but now I know that he’s not a serious radio personality.

  • Envy? Guillotine these enviousness talking heads.Let Mr. Newt succeed for fail my his own merits, let the chips fail where they may.

  • I agree with your take completely, and I’d lose faith in Beck over something like this… Newt would be light years ahead of Obama.

  • To even state or consider that is lunacy, utter lunacy. The Chicago street punk must be removed from office. Not voting for the republican nominee would most certainly give us 4 more years of the human wrecking ball. 4 more years of our liberty and freedom being lost. 4 more years of misery and pain. 4 more years of the destruction of our Civil Society. The country doesn’t have 4 more years of survival with him at it’s helm.

    What 2012 comes down to is a referendum on Obama. Simple as that. Any of the candidates(excluding Ron Paul) would be a damn site better than the marxist disaster that currently occupies the Oval office. Both Newt and Mitt have warts, but I refuse to believe that the majority of Americans would pass on either of them and settle for what would be the epilogue of this Republic, 4 more years of BHO.

  • Another thing that Im personally disgusted with is the complete lack of respect directed at someone for what they think. Somehow you better watch out if you are on the fringes even amongst the conservative crowd. Calling people kooks and nut jobs is very immature and displays a small mind trying to act big and silence all who disagree. Which is actually tyranny. This country was founded on debate and ideas being thrown around until there was a enough consensus w all involved. If you read about that time when those men were framing the constitution you see spirited sometimes heated debate while maintaining respect for the individual. Years later many did mention personal struggles but no one was ever shouted down or completely degraded by their peers

  • More proof that the GOP better get behind Ron Paul. If they don’t……he will split the electorate. Like it or not. IF THE REPUBLICANS WANT TO BEAT BARACK OBAMA………..get behind Ron Paul. He will steal many Democratic and Independent votes in a 1 on 1 and that’s something none of the other candidates can capture.

    Beck is a psychologically disturbed, grandiose, destructive, flamboyant little ponce. He jumped out of a perfectly good religion (Catholic – I was raised that, but I’m now secularist) to become a Mormon — and talks about a spiritual revival being necessary for the nation to escape the current political threat posed by Obama’s regime. His utterly stupid third-party flirtations don’t surprise me. There are no melodramatic flourishes too ridiculous for this nut.

    Amen to that. Anyone voting third party will be aiding and abetting Obama. I don’t like Newt’s view on global warming and the fact he took money, our money, from
    Freddie Mac, but he is so much more conservative than Obama and knows the Constitution and respects it unlike our illustrious president. So if anyone out there is thinking of running or voting third party, you will be considered working for Obama.

  • You failed to mention that Romney is also like Obama. The three are minor shades of political grey….all three would do a good job of carrying on Bush’s 4th term.

  • Really, Glenn? You went to Israel to stand with them, now you’re ready to betray them with a vote for Paul? IF you do this, I will never trust you again. Never.

    You cannot separate a person from their world view. If Glenn Beck is willing to vote for Ron Paul then he will get Ron Paul’s policy on the middle east as well as his policy on other troubled areas of the world. The concern I have about people like Glenn Beck is that they are in search of the perfect solution and so they are seldom satisfied or right. Glenn Beck has moved from station to station and network to network and has become more and more fanatical in his view of the world. I watched and listened to him for years. However, I’ve dropped him because he no longer offers practical solutions to difficult problems. I’m a conservative, but not a religious conservative. I’m going to support whomever runs against Obama. The worst thing that can happen is for conservatives and independents to face the prospect of a three party Presidential election. Should this occur Obama might well win because the factions that support him will have no other place to go. This wouldn’t be true of Republicans and to a lesser degree independents. They will be divided between the Republican and third party. Glenn Beck doesn’t get my vote as a listener or viewer. He seems to have become the leader of a new TV evangelical movement that focuses on doom and who offers solutions that are as bad or worse than the problems. I’d rather win back American in steps rather than to support the politically suicidal positions offered by radical conservatism. I’m going to support Newt for the Republican nomination irrespective of his imperfections. Ron Paul, if elected President, would be the Obama of foreign affairs and the “can’t get it done” President on economic issues because neither the House nor the Senate will support him.

    One party practices socialism. The other doesn’t practice capitalism. Neither party practices humility or restraint. It is a measure of how far we have fallen that the only candidate who is a principled advocate for Constitutional government is labelled “radical” or “unelectable”. Both the Democrats and Republicans have had their chance. Time for divided government: Republican House, Republican Senate, President Ron Paul. With one vote you can put the fear of God in Obama, Bernacke, the Republican and Democratic leadership, the UN, NATO, Wall Street and K Street. Ron Paul need not run as a 3rd party candidate. The GOP can lose to Obama without his “help”.

  • Here is the deal folks. You RINOs think that you are going to slip in Romney/Gingrich and all of us libertarians/tea party people will hold our noses and vote form a continuation of the status quo.

    You are dead wrong.

    Glenn Beck won’t have to vote Ron Paul third party, because Ron Paul is the most electable Republican nominee against President Zero. And for anyone who votes for a treacherous RINO like Gingrich just because he has an (R) behind his name might as well be voting for Obama, who would destroy the Grinch in a general election! It’s about the principles, not the party. It’s about restoring American prosperity, liberty, the rule of law and the Constitution, all the things that made this country great.

    A vote for Gingrich is a vote for Obama. But a vote for Ron Paul means a conservative American Renaissance. Good on Glenn Beck for starting to realize that.

      It is good to be principled. It is much better to be a pragmatic. That is, if you want to get anything done.

    A 3rd party run by Paul would take a hefty chunk out of the GOP vote. Paul would win most independent voters. More than any of the present GOP nominees, Paul would easily siphon off the most disillusioned Dem voters. So if he does not get the GOP nomination, I hope Paul does run as a Libertarian where he will be on the ballot in all 50 states. To those of you who like establishment GOP’s “Socialism Lite”, stay with that. What do I care if you vote for Newt or Romney? It’s the same as voting for Obama. Same destination.

Regardless, Paul will end out-of-control spending in Washington, and every Republican can trust that.

Regarding Savage’s comment that Newt failed w Contract with America — sorry Savage, but were you not paying attention at the time? He passed it, over Clinton’s vetoes. It was a HUGE success. Even liberals have been forced to concede that Welfare reform was a run away smash hit. And he balanced the budget, doesn’t the man get any credit here? Come on folks lets be reasonable.

All you guys “that” don’t like Paul’s foreign policy, fine, strap on you damn boots and lets get you into the fight. PAUL NEVER SAID HE WOULD NOT DEFEND AMERICA, he simply wants us to mine our own damn business and I agree with him.

    Ron Paul can win as third party. It’s becoming more clear each and every day. Newt? Really? That’s the best the GOP can do? That’s sick.

      Actually, it would be the Republican party handing it to him. The nomination and presidency quite obviously belongs to Ron Paul. Don’t throw away your vote.

  • I can’t believe that so many people think that Newt could actually beat Obama. You have to be kidding me. He has changed his positions more times over the years than can be counted. He is a bigger progressive than Bush the younger ever was. Sure he sounds glib and smart now, but do some homework, learn some history. Ron Paul is who he is, no surprises. Maybe Glenn is just tired of being lied to. In which case, I agree. I wouldn’t trust Newt as far as I could pick him up and throw him.

    • Newt CAN beat Obama. I really can’t believe that so many people are so against Gingrich. The qualities to be SOTH don’t “enamor” one to either political persuasion…which explains why Coburn and some of the other Repubs don’t trust him…Newt literally had to beat the pulp out of them behind closed doors to get them to vote a certain way. Both sides of the aisle had the stuffing beat out of them by Newt back in the day. But that’s not the job of the POTUS. The Pres sets policy, submits a budget, protects the citizens, etc. That being written, Newt knows history MUCH better than anyone else in the campaign. How does one know where we need to go, if one is not familiar where we’ve been? Glenn is being a tad hypocritical here…on one hand he states that we need to change ourselves, and that NO politician can solve our country’s woes, but on the other hand wants to hand BO another term by voting 3rd Party? Gimmee a break, Glenn…stick to what you do best and DON’T try to tell me how to vote.

    This election is about principles and uncompromising values. If the GOP refuses to nominate RP, then it’s the GOP that is handing Obama a second term. That’s the bottom line, and millions of people across the US that support RP understand this.
    Wouldn’t be all that surprising though, seeing as the Neo-Con infiltration of the GOP has been working hand-in-fist with the Obama crew to implement late-stage Cloward-Piven.

        Can’t wait to watch neo-con israeli firster subversives Mark Levin and Rush Limbaugh have aneurysms when Paul gets the nomination. They’ll probably back Obama to keep American tax dolalrs flowing to subsidize israeli healthcare and education.

  • To compare Obama to Newt is to be politically tone-deaf.
    Newt is NOT perfect. But he is also not the doddering old kook that is Ron Paul.
    I don’t see how Beck, who is clearly off his rocker lately, can support Ron Paul if he is against his foreign policy. Ron Paul’s foreign policy is as dangerous as Obama’s.
    At least Newt has governed and implemented major conservative change. He brought Clinton to the right with welfare reform etc. He would be infinitely better than Obama. To think otherwise is idiocy.

    I didn’t realize that the rest of the Republican party is a bunch of duped fools until I read the comments here. Gingrich is a progressive. I for one will de-register Republican and switch to independent. The Republican party has been derailed by the press and DC insiders. I refuse to vote for another McCain after being boxed in to 1 candidate. I am only going to vote for CONSERVATIVES or not at all. That’s what Glenn is getting at. Give me conservative, or give me death! Ron Paul is way more conservative than Gingrich and my conscience would be more at ease with him than Gingrich. His point is that your front runners are too socialist, and I agree with Glenn and Savage!

  • Running outside the GOP would undermine Ron Paul’s entire career and derail the momentum in the GOP towards limited government that he has single-handedly guided for a decade. Anyone who would suggest or recommend such an idea cannot have a clue what Ron Paul’s message is. Instead, they would sacrifice everything Ron Paul has created in his lifetime to satisfy their own ego. Also, winning as an independent is useless. No one needs a president who is a lame duck from day one at a time when limiting government and cutting spending are the only viable paths to rescue our nation. The idea is shallow and self-centered and has nothing to do with Ron Paul or with the defense of liberty through limits on government that Ron Paul stands for. As always, Beck is an agent for the statists by totally obscuring the important, relevant impact or Ron Paul’s candidacy and focusing on the fantastic but pleasing to his ego nonsense of a 3rd party run. Talk about folks who need to wake up, Beck has missed Ron Paul’s point for at least 5 years now. He just hasn’t a clue.

        • so someone that says about terrorists ”if we leave them alone they will leave us alone” is that not crazy? naive? or just plain stupid??

          someone who states; ”if I am elected president I will bring all US troops home immediately” and he means all US troops from around the world and he does mean immediately.

          someone who states; ”if elected I will remove all foreign aid and stop all forms of international intelligence gathering” I will impose US Law and restrict US intelligence actions.

          someone who states; ”I think Iran should have nuclear weapons”

      • Did you ever have someone in your life that had a condescending superiority complex who was always telling you what you should and shouldn’t do while partaking in many of those same things and not applying their own advice to themselves? Remember the offense you felt with that person? I think thats whats happening here with us and foreign relations. Look at what America brings with it every where it goes. Hollywood, Mcdonalds , not to mention grave hypocrisy. Im not opposed to those things because i grew up with them. But what if Iran became occupier of America and began banning those things I grew up with because islam is a superior way or whatever and began pushing what they believe? We are not here to make sure that islam accepts those things that are extremely offensive to their religion. I have met many islamic women who wear their burka because they believe in what it means along with the along with islams view of women and cinema in their culture. Their hatred is much deeper than what the state run media gives you. Surely many in iran remember when we were empowering them, afghanistan and many other countries when our enemies were coming against them because we feared them having control over that region but now they aren’t allowed to have certain weapons just because we are afraid they will use them on us a hostile invader? Ask anyone alive from nagasaki or hiroshima if they are comfortable with the us having nuclear armament I suspect you might find some who are not so should the U.N. ban us from having them too since we have shown we are not afraid to use nuclear bombs to come out on top? That’s alot of what I hear when people think Iran should not have access because ahmidinajab has proven he’s not afraid to use them. SOOOO WHATTTTT? Neither are our government leaders. Just because its not on the news doesn’t mean its not true. Talk to a middle easterner and find out first hand what happens over there. Israel has historically been accepted as Gods chosen people on the foreign political front by America while forgetting that in their own writings( Judeo Christian) Ishmael the rejected son of abraham was blessed by god himself and promised to be a great nation of 12 brothers with a land inheritance that came with that. The land now known as israel has only been theirs for a blink in the eye of history so how come they got it over the palenstinians Come on think about it; look behind the policies and find out where they came from. Our foreign policy is rooted in the judeo christian manifest destiny that allowed us to walk around with big heads thinking we would liberate the poor red man and trounce right into the native american camps and deprive them of any means of protecting themselves, convert them to christianity and the superior white mans way, baptise them in rivers and then shoot them as they came out of the water and then take their pristine land and give the reservations in payment. I love America but when soldiers come home from Iraq and tell me they have no idea what the plan is over there other than to be a world police force I cannot agree with that. Go back and read Former Pres. Bush’s objectives for entering afghanistan and iraq. HAVE WE EVEN COME CLOSE? My research says no so why are we there?

        I have read and listened to Ron Paul’s foreign policies for years, and the only danger I have seen and heard from his policies is targeted toward the Islamists who hate Israel (and aggressors worldwide).

        Ron Paul has been one of the most pro-Israel U. S. congressman since the state of Israel was restored in 1947. He was one of only a few U. S. congressmen who supported the 1981 Israeli attack on Iraq’s nuclear facilities. He seeks to eliminate aid to Israel’s enemies (which currently is seven times the aid we give to Israel). And he is on the same page as Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who this year told congress, “You don’t need to send American troops to defend Israel. We defend ourselves.” And he is on the same page as all true Zionists who believe in self-reliance and independence, and reject the “Big-Brother” mentality of so-called “Israel-lovers” and “protectors” in the U.S.

    Beck has jumped the shark! Whatever credibility you had left with me, Glenn, you’re losing very quickly. Ron Paul is a nut and Obama has been a disaster. Gingrich may be a progressive but he’s at least a progressive conservative and would make a far better president than either Obama or Paul.

      I think you are right! Ron Paul will never cave in on his principles. He will be like a rock and not able to do a single thing and ultimately need to be removed so that something can be accomplished. I’m not sure you understand what a conservative is or how conservatism WORKS. If the conservatives of the past took your position then like you they would have nothing! Conservatism is the art of preserving and restoring the constitution on step at a time. This is called strategy. I think you are looking for something more suicidal.

  • Joe Shaw

    So are you saying your principles are only so deep as to just go along with what the GOP says to do? Those aren’t principles. Those are rented ideas up for the highest bidder. Newt is no better than Obama. He just has a different letter after his name. Ron Paul has my vote no matter who the GOP nominee is and if the GOP wants to win this then I suggest they stop backing the George Bush Jr. wannabe’s and go with Ron Paul. We’ll be sure to win because he would defeat any and all politicians in a debate or series of debates. So long as the GOP can set aside it’s agenda of keeping everything like it was with W., we’ll be just fine. Point of this is that if more states allowed Libertarians to run for president without having to ride on the backs of other libertarians, we’d win in a land slide and bring real difference to how things are ran.

    Newt is anti-second amendment. He supports amnesty for illegals (you might not call it that, but what else do you call a policy that allows illegals to reside in the US without fear of prosecution). He’s pro-Patriot act, pro-big government, and pro-TSA feeling up Grannie’s crotch. Then he has the nerve to vilify the same corporations he’s financially in bed with. Not to mention, he’s had more marital affairs than former president, Bill Clinton.

    This guy just might be america’s biggest ass. He is a total whack-job and anyone who actually listens to him probably needs some kind of counseling or therapy.

I’ll be voting for the only one who actually supports the Constitution! Ron Paul.

  • Great idea, then Obama can appoint two more justices. I think Gingrich did a hell of a lot more than Boehner did as speaker of the house.

  • This won’t be necessary, Ron Paul is going to win the nomination and won’t need to run third party. If he did, I would support him too, I won’t choose Newt over Obama if I have the choice of Ron Paul, my conscious will be clean because at least I know I would have voted for the right guy and it is the people who voted for Newt or Obama that were in the wrong.

    Foreign Policy: there are two choices … 1) keep fighting foreign wars of aggression (world’s policeman) or 2) stop fighting these wars and concentrate on defense and restoring America at home.

    Newt is the only candidate who can think quickly on his feet. He has an answer for everything, no matter what Obama would throw at him. I would absolutely love to watch Newt tear Obama to shreds on the debate floor. The only thing I hope is that CNN, ABC, NBC, CBS or MSMBC do not hold the debates. The last one with Diane Sawyer and Clinton’s former hit man was so biased toward Newt it made me for him. Greta Van Sustren from FOX is the best interviewer I have ever watched. She can get alot of information from a person with no gotcha moments and she is nice. She is very intelligent and is a lawyer so knows the questions to ask. She is my dream debate host. Sadly, one of Obama’s cheering squads will probably get the presidential debate.

  • Ron Paul merely believes whats good for the goose is good for the gander. Breakout of the manifest destiny philosophy and look at whats going on. We have set ourselves up as a world police force who dictate what country is allowed to do what while we are rife with big problems right here on our soil. Think beyond foxnews , glenn beck, or anyone and find out for yourselves. Since when have we become the World Playground Enforcers making sure that everythings safe and fair in other countries? How would you respond if a foreigner came in and told you what you could and couldn’t do? The men who we owe our great country to debated quite extensively about starting a war on our own soil let alone across the world. I have talked to soldiers and have heard more than once the middle east conflict is just a police action. How is that beneficial? We had almost a decade of police action in vietnam that only got us shame and our precious young men coming home in boxes by the thousands. We’ve been down this road before folks. Here we are talking about billions a day in afghanistan and iraq while at home we are on the brink of financial ruin. Try running your own finances like that and see where it gets you.

    I don’t know anymore.
    I don’t like either Romney or Gingrich for President.
    Neither is a true conservative.
    Romney may be smoother but he is a typical politician in trying to answer in a way that pleases everyone and he is barely even a Republican.
    Newt may have baggage and a rougher approach but he is direct, you know where he stands and he has the experience to understand the system fully.

    Both are massive big government Progressives and will not truly help the problems we have.

    I think I am leaning with Beck at this point. I’d vote third party (Paul or other)… or better yet I would like to see a massive write-in campaign with millions of votes to “you should have given us a conservative” or “goodbye cowardly Republican establishment”.

    The Republican party establishment simply doesn’t know it’s ass from a hole in the ground and despite a massive attempt by the Tea Party to get it back on track, it is apparent it MUST be totally destroyed and rebuilt from scratch.

  • Ron Paul is the only conservative candidate. I’m certain he’s the only one that’s read and understood our Constitution. For all of you RINO-backers: scrutinize what Paul has *actually* said about foreign policy matters instead of parroting the same tripe you hear from conservative (and liberal) media personalities. We cannot afford to be misinformed once again. Newt and Romney will just be McCain 2.0. It’s time for Americans to claim back their brains and READ the Constitution. These talk show hosts will always have an opinion, wrong or right – they get paid to speak and can flip flop all they wish. Ron Paul has a solid record, having predicted our current set of crises. He has worked IN D.C. to weaken D.C. and it’s power over us. If you want liberty, vote Dr. Paul in for 2012. He IS electable and IS the choice of any American willing to step outside his or her comfort zone and realize we should no longer play the role of world police. National defense ≠ national offense.

    • Ron Paul is an immoral person and as a legislator he has accomplished nothing. All he does is whine and cry about how smart he is and that everyone else is corrupt; well Paul is the immoral and corrupt pol, interested in his own ego and willing for the US to sit by and let the Jews go through another Holocaust.

    Ron Paul has a grassroots enthusiasm larger than ANY other candidate in the history of the US! Let that sink in. Ron Paul has the youth and the energy behind him to win the general election. No other candidate has anywhere near the passion of the Paul campaign. Ron Paul gets TWICE the donations from our military than all others COMBINED! Paul polls 10 full points ahead of every other candidate with the independents, the group that determines who wins! Is the Republican party really going to snuff this out? Do they really think Newt will get out the vote of anyone other than the white 60+ year olds? If the Republican party snuffs out the Paul campaign, they WILL lose to Obama. They will enter the general with a moderate candidate that has ZERO enthusiasm and skeletons galore, there will be NO spark. And it will be the “anti-Pauls” that re-elect Obama. Does Newt have 20 year olds out waving signs for him? Does Romney? Their dead in the water, a NO-GO! The writing is on the wall and it is crystal clear, nominate Paul or live under Obama! Choose NOW!

    I am so sick and tired of the worn-out line that voting one’s conscience, even if it’s a third-party vote, is a vote wasted. I don’t want another four years of Obama, but if those four years are coupled with a conservative-run Congress, is it going to be drastically bad? It’s high time that we conservatives stand up and vote for the person who represents US…even if that means voting for a third-party candidate. John McCain wasn’t my candidate, and neither is Romney nor Newt. Ron Paul is looking more and more like the true conservative to me.

    I stopped listening to Beck’s rants a long time ago. He is obviously becoming unhinged. No matter the price we might pay to defeat Obama, the price we will pay if he stays will be infinitely greater.

    What really troubles me about Ron Paul is first, he will never get the GOP nomination, and second, he will never win the election on a third party run, yet he is unable or unwilling to put the nation over his own personal agenda and accept the fact that he will be the loser regardless of what happens in the primaries and the election next November. His supporters rant about his stand on constitutional principles, but what part of “We the People” does he not understand? He won’t be the only loser if Obama gets 4 more years to “complete the job.”

  • Anonymous

    Glenn, you’ve forked up on two fronts. You’ve encouraged Ron Paul to run third party, after he used the Republican party for publicity and an air of legitimacy with your comment, telling me you’d be satisfied with Barack Obama as President for a second term since you know as well as the Democrats that splitting the non-Demoocratic vote wins Barack Obama that second term.

    Next, you’ve totally disrespected your audience by placing your judgment supreme over others. Your attmepts to characterize those of us supporting Newt Gingrich as racists and reincarnates of evil is an absolute betrayal of our trust in you. I don’t know what’s driving your agenda, but it is becoming doubtful that is anything of virtue.

    Good luck with your capitalism venture at GBTV. I can only tell you that your marketing just lost you one sale.

    Nominate Newt or RP or anyone other than Romney and Obama wins! YES, he is not perfect AND NO he is not “the same as Obama” BUT FACE IT, he is the only one of the bumbeling gang who can get more than 50% of the GE vote and is a far better option than BHO.

  • srmmedia

    Newt can’t beat Obama , If Ron Paul does not get the nomination then our nation only has one small glimmer of hope and that is if Ron Paul runs a third party .. I doubt he will win as a third party candidate but in my opinion nothing real will change between Newt or Obama.. Wars will remain , Drug wars will remain , FED will still be printing money….. If Ron Paul is not elected me and millions other RP supporters will be writing his name in on the Ballot….. GOP needs to accept this eventuality and go ahead and nominate Ron Paul.. That is the ONLY way we are going to get rid of Obama.

    So you guys don’t want a real change then do you, you would rather continue playing ring around the rosy and debate on which puppet could screw us the best. Demublican, Republicrat, I’ve never heard of collective brain damage but I swear that’s what most of America must have right now. Maby it’s the MSG in our food or the toxins being dumped on us from these chemical trails, but America is INSANE!! The fact that we are even conducting a serious discussion about this NAZI becoming president is MIND BOGGLING. So let me get this straight you would vote for the Nazi to keep the Tyrant from obtaining another ter. Let me ask you all this since you all seem to be well educated on the subject, what is so wrong with Ron Paul? he wants to end all of these illegal useles wars? or maby auditing the FED dosen’t sit well with you all. Do you not like him because was against ALL of the theft that went by the name of bailouts and VOTED as such? or maby it’s because he was against invading Iraq FOR NO REASON!!! Oh I get it, it’s because the media says he can’t win and God knows if you can’t trust U.S media, who can you trusr right? even though his position as #1 or #2 has held consistant in EVERY poll while the other shills fluxuate depending on what lie or scandal presents it’self. Here’s the thing people, you asked for it….Your lack of intelligent reasoning and an insatiable desire to be duped and fooled time and time again has lead to the demise of this Country..see you in the Camp……..

      Actually, Ron Paul says drug laws are a states issue and the fed gov has no authority to deal with it.

  • I am disappointed to hear Glen Beck make a statement like this. The only re-assuring thing here is that Ron Paul is a really bright guy and he knows that running as a 3rd party candidate would be a victory for Obama and that would be devastating to the country as a whole, not to mention the rest of the world. Ron Paul wouldn’t do that.
    You really have to wonder,; why are the ‘establishment’ republicans so against Newt? Is it because he was successful as the Speaker?

  • Anonymous

    Ron Paul will NEVER be elected President, NEVER. The guy is supported by 9% of the Tea Party and that’s it. Ron Paul is actually a decent person, should he get the nomination, I would vote for him, but people hesitate to support him because a percentage of his supporters are viewed as a bunch of whiny little cand-a$$ freaks, that believe every conspiracy theory that Alex Jones and Jesse Ventura can throw at them. Voters don’t want to be associated with people that believe that 9/11 was America’s fault !!!

    Plus, the guy is not conservative and will never be supported by Conservatives, he’s a Libertarian. I find it amazing, that so many Paul followers, are so much against the two party system, but yet their guy is running as a Republican, not a Libertarian, not an Independent, but a Republican. I’m sure if he’s nominated, he won’t have any problem taking money from the RNC for the run against Obama.

    Paul supporters are also anti-establishment, but support a guy who has been in and out of politics since the 70’s ??? Someone explain that one to me.

    Paul supporters can’t settle for their guy being defeated in the primaries, no, they have to go off into a corner and pout if they don’t get their way, bunch of freakin cry babies …

      “the guy is not conservative and will never be supported by Conservative”

      It’s sad that so many people have lost sight of what conservative really means. Real conservatism used to mean “fiscal” conservatism and no one is more fiscally conservative than Ron Paul.

      If you want to have a government that tells everyone how to live their lives then Ron Paul is not your man.

      • Anonymous

        There’s also social conservatism, and that’s where Ron Paul loses support.

        Nobody tells me what to do, I do as I please within the law. As much as you may hate it, we do live in a civilized society, and there are laws that govern us, otherwise there would be anarchy, everyone doing as they please with no one telling them what they can and can not do.

        Every single country in the world has laws put in place to govern the people that live there. Name a country that doesn’t or that is a better alternative to the United States ?

        Some of the laws suck, we all know that, some of the politicians suck, we know that as well. But you know what ? It’s called life in the world we live today and that is not going to change anytime soon, whether it’s Ron Paul, Newt or Mittens. Decades of garbage is not going to be reversed in 1 election term.

        If RP gets elected, he still has to deal with the 2-party Congress, that’s a fact. You can say, “Well, he’ll have executive powers to enact change …”, and if it comes to that, he will have become the very thing all of his supporters say they detest.

        Or is that alright with you, since it’s your guy that would doing it ? …

    The partisans are doing it again… and the progressives on the left AND RIGHT are running rings around the Tea Party and trying to trick us… again! They’re trying to shoehorn us into making the worst choice again!

    I thought the Tea Party stands for a small government limited by the Constitution assuring freedoms afforded us by God as our founding fathers intended. If the Tea Party still believes in these principles, look at Newt Gingrich’s history and what he is saying now, he is the worst choice!

    The progressive right hates the Tea Party, and they are trying to confuse and scare us into thinking Newt is our only chance to beat Obama! Newt Gingrich has said it himself… “I have the best chance to beat Obama, let’s do this and get this done already.”

    NEWS FLASH: ANY ONE OF THE CURRENT REPUBLICAN CANDIDATES CAN BEAT OBAMA. Obama is the worst, most corrupt president in history. It’s a no brainer for all but the most far-left wing nuts. He’s a sitting duck. So let’s stop panicking and pick the best Republican candidate that best represents the principles of our founding fathers.

    WAKE UP TEA PARTY! YOU”RE BEING PLAYED AND SPOOKED BY THE PROGRESSIVES! If you still believe in our founding fathers, the choice is clear… Michele Bachmann, Rick Santorum, and Ron Paul most closely represent all Constitution loving Americans.

        You apparently don’t read much. Ron Paul is grabbing independents and blue democrats and they will not vote for Newt. The LSM blackout is not working. There is a huge grassroots campaign that is for Ron Paul Only. Just like the LSM blacked out all of Obama’s marxist ties, they are blacking out all of Ron Paul’s support. Open your mind just a little. How come straw polls no longer mean anything but Rassmussen/Gallup/ABC/NBC phone polls do? Those organizations can only reach landline users, not people with cell phones. Most landline users are older folk who do not read blogs so their information is limited. They may watch Fox or CNN, definitely the LSM news, and all those outlets do little, if any, reporting on Ron Paul. Ron Paul has won 23 straw polls. No one even comes close to that number of wins. Drudge refuses to highlight these wins but they sure will highlight a Newt win and even Cain wins when he was running.
        I will not let the media again decide who I vote for. I am doing my own vetting because they won’t. And I’ve decided Ron Paul is the only candidate who actually believes our Constitution has enumerated powers that should not be breeched. And I know Ron Paul does not want to enslave Americans through draconian unPatriot Acts, Military Commission Acts, Nat’l Defence Aithorization Acts, or fiat money.
        Time for you to grow up and do your own homework instead of listening to talking heads on progressive news shows.

        • Oh PLEASE! Paul is SO far out there in re: to foreign policy that it should scare the bejeezus out of you…apparently not. Everything that is wrong with this country, according to Ron Paul, is tied to the Fed. Sorry…that dog just don’t hunt. It’s MUCH more complicated than that. One absolutely HAS to know our history, (and Newt does), in order to solve our problems. Paul is a Pediatrician and a libertarian…he will never get my support because of those two qualities.

    You’ ve got one big government progressive with an R behind his name in this corner and anothet big government progressive with a D behind his name in the other corner. Do some of you just have a biased toward the letter R?

    Newt loves his public-private partnerships. So would I if I collected $1.6 million from Freddie Mac for “historical work.”

    Newt confuses the discovery process of a free market where the consumer is in charge with a corporatism system where connected firms and govt. collude. Power is centralized in the case of the latter. There is no market profit/loss feedback test with public-private partnerships. The govt. just takes more taxed if there is a problem. Corporatism (govt. and business partnership) is a type of central planning.

    Newt is a statist. He propose no real cuts. He hasn’t proposed eliminating govt. departments.

    Newt thinks the Federal Reserve can centrally plan the economy. You can’t have a free market if the FED centrally plans fiat paper currency, interest rates, and the banks.

I supported Beck, now I am embarrassed by that support because Beck has made it clear he is nothing more than a greedy charlatan and clown only out to get money and to build his ego.

                  Ok, this is a bit boring, but out of respect for discourse, I will try to explain something to you. I NEVER CALLED BECK A RACIST. My first post to you stated that Beck himself used the race card as a tool. That does NOT mean he is a racist. It means he used something that he had no right to use to prove a point. Please try to stay focused.

                  At first, you told someone Beck never called the Tea Party racist (go back and listen to the tape). That’s where I stepped in and said he used racism as a tool. Where you could get that I called him a racist is beyond me. Unless, of course, you are just making things up only to be argumentative. In which case, you’re not worth the effort to dialoque with.

                  Now if any of my words were too big for you, please let me know and I’ll explain. Otherwise, try to have a coherent thought. I don’t mind idiots accusing me of something, but it better be something I did, not something you made up. You’re just wasting my time and everybody else’s air.

    The only one that even begins to address liberty is Ron Paul. The only one that is willing to attack the ever growing federal government is Ron Paul.

    Where is our Roman equivalent of the Brothers Grachii, who advocated increased participation in the Senate by the people, more protections for the people’s rights to own land and property, less restrictions on the people’s travel, the right for redress against patricians, land reform (the equivalent, really of money reform back then), and smaller government. We have the equivalent and his name is Ron Paul. So you may not like his foreign policy, well let me ask how well the status quo foreign policy has worked for us? Keep kicking mad dogs and they finally bite back and we are surprised? Why? Do people not have any rational experience with bullies?

    What will foreign policy it matter if we are a bankrupt nation? We will have no policy because we will be like a sick puppy, no bark…no bite.

    A run by Newt will guarantee Obama a win because I and many like me will not again hold our nose and vote for the lesser of the despot’s. Holding our nose has gotten us to where we are and it is time to finally vote for a Statesman. We will either get it right or go down like a sinking ship. I’ve given up on the Republican Party and will no longer feast on the slop they bring forth. The crony capitalism is over for me.

    He has never voted to increase the power of the executive branch.
    He voted against the Patriot Act.
    He voted against regulating the Internet.
    He voted against the Iraq war.
    He does not participate in the lucrative congressional pension program.
    He returns a portion of his annual congressional office budget to the U.S. treasury every year.
    Supports the elimination of the income tax and the Internal Revenue Service (IRS)
    We’re blindly marching towards a dark future where the government knows everything about you but you know nothing about the government.

    Ron Paul’s six point plan puts a stop to illegal immigration:
    Physically secure our borders and coastlines.
    Enforce visa rules.
    No amnesty.
    No welfare for illegal aliens.
    End birthright citizenship.
    Pass true immigration reform.

    I believe in a strong military that is used to protect this country. I don’t believe the Constitution grants the use of the military for Nation building.

    And today I read that drones are used to spy on American citizens and the TSA has changed its tune on the “we don’t strip search.” “In response to ongoing criticism for removing the back brace from an elderly woman who claims Transportation Security Agency (TSA) officers strip-searched her an airport, the TSA issued a “clarification” about their position on the incidents, claiming — contrary to an earlier TSA statement — that the woman’s back brace was removed because the security personnel thought it was a “money belt.”

    People better wake up soon or we will have little liberty in the USA and who will give a crap about foreign policy!

    • your last sentence states ”…who will give a crap about foreign policy!”

      After the first mushroom cloud appears over an American city because Ron Paul has pulled the military out of the world and adopted an isolationist terrorist will not bother us if we don’t bother them policy…what will you say then after it is too late.

      When the American economy collapses because Ron Paul’s isolationist policies completely destroy any international economic goodwill and the whole world stops buying USA goods and more importantly USA debt forcing massive forclosures because the American credit system comes to a complete halt. What will you say about Ron Pauls foreign policies when you are begging for bread and living in the cold??

      Come on dude!!! Use some intelligence and look at the whole picture. Ron Paul’s foreign polices are at best a joke and his naive approach to the world will make lay the grounds for World War 3 because he has a ”leave them alone they will leave us alone” isolationist view!! That type of attitude caused World War Two…or don’t you read history.

      To do the things that Paul advocates will cause such power vaccums in the world we would be lucky to make it to World War 3 because the world may destroy itself before then….. OPEN YOUR EYES!!!

      You can have 10,000 Ron Paul supporters in a room and all you have to do is talk to one of them to find out how the other 9,999 think.

      No individualism, nothing but a group of collective-thinking clones. They dominate the message boards because that’s what they’re told to do, they make it seem as though Ron Paul has more support than he actually does. They have to deceive people as a way of influencing others to vote for their guy.

      The tactics are no different than what the Democrats do, how pathetic …

  • I agree 100% with you “Right Scoop”. Herman Cain was my first choice, but now I’m getting comfortable with Newt. Newt loves this country; Obama does not, IMHO.

    I was and am still very angry with the Republican leaders who forced us to vote for John McCain last election. Now I’ve heard the Repub leaders are telling all Republican candidates that they should not criticize Barack Obama personally. (Remember that was McCain’s policy too.) Enough with “enlightened” people in Washington telling me what I need or want or what to do. Enough!

    At least Newt understands my anger and dishes it out to the appropriate people — namely the liberal Democrats, specifically Obama and his regime, who are destroying our country. He understands that as a conservative I need to feel that my candidate is going to really fight for this country and not be a limp noodle like McCain. (The ONLY good thing that came from McCain was Sarah Palin–and she is 1,000 times stronger than McCain, and true to form the Republican leaders still hate her and won’t help her win anything.)

    Our party leaders forced McCain on us last time and we lost. Now let us (conservatives and most Americans) have who WE want for a change. Whoever the nominee is, All Republicans, including the career elitists and the leaders of the Party, should all vote for that nominee. If so, then Newt would be VERY “electable.”

    If our “Republican” leaders (like Colin Powell) are not going to vote for the Republican nominee like we were forced to vote for McCain in 2008, then they need to leave the party and go join the Democrats.

    I do NOT like or want Ron Paul, BUT if by miracle of miracle he becomes the Republican nominee, I would vote for him to get the Democrats out of the White House. At least Newt understands that is the real goal in this 2012 election: Take back the White House and undo the liberal damage as best as possible.

    A third party is suicide for the USA. If Beck (who I normally have admired in the past) can’t understand that, then perhaps he’s not the man I used to think he was.

Ron paul or get obama again…your choice.. Romney/newt/obama are ALL THE SAME! Stop believing what the media says and open your eyes

    • Judith, the Republican presidential nomination is not a contest on who loves the country more, but who would be the best president to lead this country out of a recession and back into economic growth. Newt Gingrich supports policies like the individual mandate, amnesty for illegal immigrants, cap and trade, and other economic policies that would lead this nation into another decade of economic downturn. I have no doubt Newt’s intentions are in the right place, but we don’t want to have another John McCain type candidate that will lose in the general election. The only way to win is having a genuine conservative candidate that can offer the American people real solutions on how to move forward into prosperity.

Not just a carry over even, but EXPANDED the BUSH AGENDA EXPONENTIALLY. Unlimited Wiretapping, Homeland security, Citizen Spies…..Both Obama & NEWT want this. They both believe in WAR WITHOUT CONSTITUTIONAL APPROVAL, INDEFINITE DETENTION of innocent AMERICAN CIVILIANS IN FEMA CAMPS & THE COLLAPSE OF THE DOLLAR.

It seems to me that your radio show is becoming one big infomercial for GBTV and that you save most of the best for GBTV. I know you don’t like or respect Newt, but there are a great many of us who are willing to give him a second chance. Remember, Glenn, you are also a reciever of a second chance in your life. Should we hold your past against you. The plain fact is that perhaps none of our candidates will be able to defeat Obama in November. It will be a given if a third party candidacy arises. Those who would vote for a third party candidate will be as guilty as those who vote for Emperor Obama. I say Emperor because if this horrible excuse for a president can get a second term you can betcher britches we will become mere peasants by the end of that term.

    Newt is not my first choice, but Sarah isn’t running. If I have to hold my nose while voting in order to get rid of this false messiah, I WILL.

    As much as I dread a second Obama term, voting for Paul may actually be the right thing to do. Establishment Republicans are not much better than Democrats in many respects. An Obama presidency can work only as long as folks who care will also vote to put more Republicans into the Senate and House, thereby not allowing Obama to cause any more damage. A Gingrich presidency is a sure sure way to guarantee we’ll have more big government, more unnecessary wars, and less friends in the world. Ron Paul might appear a little ‘kooky’ but he is a moral man who will try to make this country a true constituional republic again, rather than an overextended empire.

    Ron Paul is the Republicans only chance.

    Who are these people supporting for Newt? It’s like voting for Vladimir Putin as president of the US. America was founded on Liberty in the form of our constitution. Newt wrote in a forward for the book Creating a New Civilization that he wants a new civilization, and enforced the book which states the US Constitution must Die! We have a treasonous snake running on the platform of Destroy America, and people vote for him? When you turn 18 and are allowed a vote in our system, there’s a great responsibility placed on you. If you vote for “the front runner” and ignore the fact that he has and will again stab your country in the back, you violate the trust that America has placed in you. Please take a few minutes to read about the man. Don’t read what Romney is saying which is mostly name calling and distracts from the facts. Look at the facts yourself. Why were 84 ethics complaints filed against him; why was he forced to pay $300,000 for fraud; why would you turn your back on America by voting for him?

  • Joe Shaw

    Actually, W. ordered the end of Iraq occupation before he left office. Obama just came along to take the credit. Obama also dove into Afghanistan feet first by increasing more troops as requested by those on the peace loving liberal groups which doubled the spending on war. He also dove into Libya while promising not to put our troops in there which he did two days after making the statement. From day one, his only actions have been the opposite of what you do during a depression. Propping up bad debt only extends the time it will take to recover while putting us deeper into the same debt.

    What is suicide is voting 3rd party, that is what got us Bill Clinton and will surely get us Barak Obama for a second term. Beck just might be the antichrist for all I know, he spews religion and talks about doing the right thing and saying how America will die if Obama is reelected and once again, he shows his true colors. Beck isn’t a conservative, he isn’t a libertarian, he’s a liberal in hiding.

  • After reading some of the comments posted on this article, I’m convinced the primary reason for Newt’s position in the recent polls is that people just aren’t aware of his positions. He can certainly talk a good game, but one only need look as far as Google to see that he has supported the individual mandate and cap and trade, among other liberal positions. In that respect, Ron Paul and Mitt Romney are doing the country a service by trying to inform the public on his real stated positions. Hopefully we can get the word out before it’s too late and we lose another election with a liberal Republican candidate.

What we ended up with was a lot of dead US soldiers. We had a non-isolationist policy and 9-11 happened. What exactly has your non-isolationist policy done for the USA? That non-isolationist policy in Iran PO’d the Iranian people so much that they had a revolt and the capitalist Iranians fled the country. So you now have a hot bed of radicals in Iran.

          All that your non-isolationist policy is doing is creating a bigger powder keg in the middle east.

          I bet you even believe the pablum your being fed about Iraq and Democracy. Better peek under the covers there old Bunky.

          “However, as Osama al-Nujayfi, the Sunni speaker for the Iraqi parliament, astutely observed, democracy is more than just about holding elections. In many of the other essential aspects of a truly democratic society, Iraq’s status is far from satisfactory.

          Absence of rule of law: Most Iraqi politicians still think they are above accountability to the law. Illustrating this tendency is the case of the arrest warrant that was issued against Muqtada al-Sadr, whose followers form a key part of the ruling coalition, concerning his suspected role in the killing of moderate Shi’ite cleric Abdul Majid al-Khoei in Najaf in April 2003.

          In a few measures of a healthy democratic society — above all the realm of press freedom — Iraq performs significantly better than its neighbors, yet the only conclusion to be drawn from the above observations is to agree with Freedom House’s general comment that Iraq is still “not an electoral democracy” and the think-tank’s classification of the country as “Not Free.”

          So we spent $billions and lost many, many lives to create a country that is not free. Bravo…what a great accomplishment for your non-isolationist policy.

    GLENN BECK FOUND WONDERING FROM THE RESERVATION

    Today Glenn Beck was found straying off the Republican Main Stream Reservation, talking about situations that the Republican Party bosses didn’t approve. His listeners get angry.

    So far in this financial mess Glenn has been correct and maybe he is starting to see another light, the light of freedom and liberty. Patrick Henry said it well, “I know not what course others may take; but as for me, give me liberty or give me death!”

  • Steven Kaufman

    Party line voters like the writer of this piece make me ill. They don’t understand that there is no difference when it comes to Newt Rombama. Cries of “if you vote third party you are guaranteeing a victory for Obama” just make me laugh because the only difference to anyone with any intelligence will be how they spell their names. This nation needs the rise of a third party and in reality it would just be the rise of a second party alternative to the one big government party we have today. The article writer may as well put on pom poms and cheer on the sidelines.

      My dillema is that I voted for Perot twice, and felt burned in the deal. If we vote for a third party it will guarantee Obama a win. You have to know that, and I’m not quite ready to push the country off the cliff. Of course there is still a year left to see how things pan out. We might just self-destruct before the elections.

    I am voting Ron Paul in the primaries, but will vote ABO ( anyone but Obama) in the general election.
    Just know this: if Ron Paul does not make the cut, and Newt or Mitt are the choice, America will still die a slow death, as opposed to Obama’s quick-kill method.
    Ron Paul is our only hope for Constitutional restoration.

    Some here sound confused. There’s no such thing as Democrat and Republican anymore. It’s either progressive or constitutionalist. ‘Republican’ Teddy Roosevelt officially started the progressive party in America. The ‘progressives’ have infiltrated both of the main stream parties. Why do you think we now have the term ‘RINO”?
    Newt IS a progressive. He is for a strong central government and a presidency that rules by Executive Order. He has already said that he has a whole bunch of EOs written up that he will sign on Day 1 of his presidency should he be elected. That is NOT small government with enumerated powers.
    Don’t people here read the headlines? America is turning into a police state. Newt said he would stifle free speech because there are ‘terrorists’ out there. The Senate just passed a bill declaring America a ‘battleground’ where all our freedoms can be suspended to fight the ‘war’.
    Newt is a neocon, warmongering, ‘futurist’ progressive who said just 2 years ago that he WANTS to ‘fundamentally transform’ our government system – meaning he wants to TOTALLY CHANGE OUR CONSTITUTION – because our Constitution no longer works in the 21st Century. Read Newt’s interview with the World Future Society, especially the last comment he made, where he said this. Read about Newt’s relationship with Alvin Toffler. Newt is a member of the globalist Council on Foreign Relations organization, a group doing everything it can to bring in a one world government.
    I will not live in a Newt World Order and agree with Glenn. Except I believe Ron Paul is the only candidate for this time in our history who WILL restore American principles, sovereignty and individual liberty.
    President Ron Paul 2012

      Did small government take us to the moon or defeat the Soviet empire? Small government is a nice catchphrase but for our country to be truly great we need a leader with real vision, big ideas and the boldness to carry them through. Newt is destined for greatness and is the first president since Reagan who has the potential to earn his own spot on Mt. Rushmore.

    • Ron Paul is the best available…he is just as correct on the middle east as he is correct on the economy

  • If you are a man of principal you will not vote for a man with less principal than yourself. If you “hold your nose” just to ensure the democrat doesn’t get re-elected then you are also part of the problem. It is not the fault of those who are voting on principal if that means Obama gets re-elected, for if we all voted on principal Obama would lose in all 50 states. Ron Paul is the principled candidate.

    Newt is the best debater, comes off as the smartest on a wide range of topics, has the most experience reforming government, is the toughest when it comes to criticizing Obama, is charismatic in a Reaganesque grandfatherly way, and has a track record of success. He helped Republicans sweep the elections in 1994, he balanced the budget, he helped usher in a technology-driven economic boom, and he worked out successful compromises with Bill Clinton in the ’90s that centrists and independents approved of wildly. Newt is an outsider who worked his way to the top of the House by calling out other Republicans who were corrupt and being a genuine conservative who cared about every American. Newt is a master politician, absolutely necessary in the general election to defeat Obama, who is the master of spin and misdirection. Newt is also the most electable candidate. The Democrats will savage Romney as being a “corporate” insider and say that he shipped jobs
    overseas. Ron Paul has no charisma whatsoever and a base built out of drug users and anti-Semites. Newt is the complete package, a great communicator who is ambitious and skilled enough to become one of America’s greatest presidents.

    • I am a Ron Paul supporter and I am neither a drug user or an anti-semite. I am a Christian, father, husband, and middle class, constitution loving American.

      Newt is a big government liberal. He’s more liberal than Obama. You need to go do research on Newt because your facts are incorrect on his record.

Romney is the only one who can get over 50% of the GE vote,

  • I fear Glenn Beck is a religious biggot and picking Romney for his religion.

  • I’m not a fan of Glenn Beck by any stretch, but I have to agree with him in this instance. If Newt Gingrich is the nominee, there would be so little difference between the two candidates that I honestly believe there is a real chance of Ron Paul winning the presidency as a third party candidate. Let’s wait and see what happens as Gingrich’s real positions start to become more widely known.

  • It doesn’t matter if Newt, Mitt, or Barack win. The outcome will be the same.

    If you are a ‘GOP/DEM or nothing’ cult member who has believed that these organizations don’t exist, then you have been brainwashed.

    Ron Paul is America’s only hope in 2012.

  • The top three organizations that employ Romney’s supporters are Goldman Sachs, Credit Suisse Group, and Morgan Stanley. And to think that Beck supports this clown. Beck is a Wall Street shill!!!!!

    Ron Paul serves on the House Committees on Foreign Affairs and Financial Services, and on the Joint Economic Committee. He is the chairman of the Financial Services Subcommittee on Domestic Monetary Policy and Technology, where he has been an outspoken critic of American foreign and monetary policy.

    Dr. Paul is clearly the most qualified candidate to tackle our Nations critical economic and foreign affair issues. The rest of the top tier candidates like Romney, Gingrich, Perry, Cain and Obama are a bunch of clowns who receive their funds from major donors from Wall Street.

    So are American’s educated enough to realize that… Obama, Romney, Perry and Cain are funded by the banking cartels. And that Ron Paul is by far our best choice. Nope…… We are a nation of hilljacks, hipopers and pseudo intellectual progressives who are each culturally brain washed into bankster sheep. So… it doesn’t look good.
    Ron Paul receives more financial contributions from active duty vets than all the other candidates combined. Why is this? They know that Ron Paul is the best solution for our National Defense, though the establishment media is trying to make him look like a kook who would hurt national security. We need to defend our borders and give all these National Guard troops who are on their 3rd and 4th tours of duty a break. What if there was a real war in the near future? Our military is already at the breaking point from wars started to help banks and oil companies. We need an agenda to help repair America. Vote for Ron Paul 2012!!!!

      Ron Paul has been shut out by the very party of which he is a member. It is disgraceful,and he is further censored by the media.
      I will vote for him, but it is like choosing suicide over dying in a burning building.

    • Well said. There is also the different positions they hold on housing GSEs like Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. Newt Gingrich was advocating for them (and cashing paychecks from Freddie Mac) as late as 2007, while Ron Paul was trying to introduce legislation to repeal the model in 2002.

    To those making these absolutely ridiculous comments asserting that there is no real difference between Obama and Newt Gingrich, you are either recklessly ignorant or insidiously dishonest. Sure Newt has made some errors in his political judgment from time to time and is far from the perfect candidate. He has some ideas that I oppose. But can any of you name a candidate that is perfect in their private life or completely harmonious with your political ideology? The idea that anyone that claims to be a Conservative would throw the election to Obama, a confirmed radical left-wing socialist bent on reshaping the country into a collectivist dystopia, by voting for a third party candidate, potentially that ideologically bipolar Ron Paul, just to hold fast to some purist political fantasy is a level of foolishness that should not be tolerated. If Obama is re-elected because of such puerile shenanigans by people like you that are supposedly on the the conservative side of the political spectrum, it will be YOU that is held responsible for what happens during the next four years of Obama, not Newt Gingrich or those that had the good since to vote for the Republican nominee. For all his flaws, Newt is a conservative on many important issues and will do a lot of things right and can be influenced by the Tea Party to do many other things right as well that he may be currently lacking in ideologically. If we are to stop Obama we can’t allow our side to become hopelessly fragmented and rendered useless as a political party. If that happens all is lost.

  • Paul will get a huge independent and moderate democrat vote with a third party run. The New World Order Corperate media fears Paul. The media is either ignorant of this reality or they don’t want to you to know.

    Ron Paul has warned his supporters for three decades and more about the dangerous of a fraudulent fractional reserve banking system in the hands of private central bankers, and no one can legitimately argue any longer that those concerns have not been justified.

    Well, Mr. Wussy Beck….You would , wouldn’t you help re-elect Obama over supporting Newt Gingrich. You just hate it to see somebody in the limelight that the American people have discovered that KNOWS the how-to, why,- the history-of and wouldn’t kiss anybody’s a$$, (including your ignorant a$$) ((Read some of Newt’s books on America) He lives it, he has known it and for God’s sakes, he knows who the players are, and where all the bodies are buried. He can restore America like he did before. He was instrumental in getting a majority in the house after FORTY years of democrat dominance. Just for starters. Wake up Beck.

    • I would rather have Obama again, than an Obama Lite with the Republican tag. The good thing about Obama getting another term, is the economy going even further down the drain, and ensuring another Democrat does not get elected for the next 100 years. If you vote in a guy like Newt… You are just spreading the blame to the right side as well.

      If Obama wins this election, there will be ZERO denying who is to blame by competent voters 4 years from now.

          Well at least Newt isn’t going to take away your guns. Obama is certainly going to do something in that direction when he is a lame duck. With his abuse of the ATF and his abuse of the Executive Orders, he is capable of just about anything. I agree Newt may well be in the pocket of the shadow government, he is still a better choice than Obama. It’s fine to support RP with in the process, but if he doesn’t get the nod, we must all unite behind the Republican candidate whom ever it is. This talk of write ins only helps that facist in the Whitehouse.

  • There’s only one problem with your analysis. Newt is every bit as compromised and practically the same as Obama when it comes to the large, important issues of our time. Sure, their rhetoric is different, but so what? I’d rather have Obama than Newt because at least then socialism will correctly be blamed when all hell breaks loose. If you elect Newt, America will still crash and burn, but the sheeple will blame the “free market.” A vote for the lesser of two evils is still a vote for evil. There will be no incremental move toward limited government and freedom with Newt, only a very marginally slowed march off the cliff.

    What this country really needs, as if it’s not obvious, is a run-off system. A simple constitutional requirement that the successful candidate receive at least a majority — not a plurality — of the vote.

    In effect, the way presidential election results tally today — 54% is considered a “landslide” — any time there is a third party candidate, there would be a run-off between the top two vote-getters.

    Encouraging third- and fourth-party candidates, without the risk that the minority vote-getter would actually succeed to the office (as Clinton did in ’92) would be one of the best things that ever happened to politics in this country. It would give the Ron Pauls, the Perots and, yes, the Naders, a real say in the direction of the country without the risk that voting for them currently incurs.

    • jedijones77

      I agree, but mainly for the fact that it wouldn’t result in third parties spoiling elections as they did for George Bush Sr. Nevertheless this is an idea that both the supporters of the mainstream candidates AND the off-brand candidates should get behind! What happened in 1992 was a sick joke and did NOT represent the will of the people as a democratic election MUST. I don’t know why more people can’t see how the current vote-counting system is a constitutional crisis waiting to happen. We need ranked-choice voting and instant run-offs so that elections remain efficient but also represent people’s TRUE intentions when voting.

  • D S

    I don’t support Newt and I don’t support Paul. I do support Romney, and have since 2007. If Newt wins the nomination, and Paul then runs 3P, I won’t vote Paul; I just won’t vote, period. Gingrich cannot win the presidency; he’s a national loser. He will win no state that isn’t a dedicated red state. In other words, he’d win all the same states that any Republican would win in any election, but no more. Romney brings 7 or 8 blue states into play. If Obama loses just one of those, he cannot win reelection. Newt has no shot at winning any of those states, hence he cannot win.

    I don’t encourage anyone to sit out an election just because that’s what I would do if Newt wins Nom, but hey, I won’t have to because he will lose anyway. Look, last time around Republicans nominated John McCain who had spent his entire life inside government, and who came across as a crotchety, angry old man. This time around, it looks like Republicans have learned nothing as they are on the path to nominating Newt Gingrich who comes across as not just a crotchety, angry old man who has spent his life (profiting from) being in and around government but, like Obama, is also an arrogant professor with an extremely grandiose opinion of himself. If Romney is considered undesirable by so-called conservatives because they say he is a flip-flopper, then Newt Gingrich is 10,000 times worse since he has at least that many more flips and flops, plus an endless amount of double standards and betrayals.

    Newt should do everyone a favor and admit he cannot win. Admit that his campaign that started out as a book tour on a cruise ship is only about self-promotion. . .That becoming the nominee, as he has said is inevitable 5 times in 14 seconds in one interview, is his main goal since it will be yet another title to add to his name that will let him raise his speaking fees and sell more advice, more consulting, and all other brands of networking and catering and handshaking and dealmaking that he finds ways to not define as lobbying. But, he won’t because Newt is all about Newt….and the man’s a snake.

    Republicans and conservatives who actually want to win the actual election and defeat Obama know that we have to support Romney.

    • I support your post. Even though I am a Ron Paul advocate, I would never ask someone to vote against their conscious or intellect. That is why I would not vote period if it were Romney vs Obama, at that point I really don’t care who wins because I don’t see anything changing. Nor would I ever vote for Newt, I would actually prefer 4 more years from Obama then 8 years from Newt.

    • D.S….have you just awakened from a deep deep coma?! Quite simply, there is absolutely NO comparison between Newt & McCain!!!!! McCain is why we got obama…..we dont know if Newt will make it to the nomination, but if he does, i can assure you that he will do just fine. We must take the white house back FIRST….then, if anyone wants to recall Newt or whoever gets there, then fine. First job is to WIN.

Gingrich is resonating with conservatives and that is driving those like you and Karl Rove ape crap bonkers ain’t it. Romney has remained at the numbers he has for a reason. We don’t want or need another RINO in Washington. Got it! It’s amazing to me that in the past week the attacks against Gingrich have come more from his own party than the MSM. that tells me a lot and it should tell the American people a lot.

    I have been advocating the exact same advise. The mission is to replace that fascist from another 4 years less we lose the Republic entirely. Newt isn’t my first choice, heck he isn’t my second either. However, he will be the nominee unless he has a meltdown before now and Iowa. He will come in a very close 2nd in New Hampshire, win big in South Carolina and Florida. Then it will be all over except the crying. Shame on Marco Rubio for not running, even Chris Christie would have been a better candidate. We have to support whom ever is the nominee with all our combined efforts. Obama MUST not be reelected.

    If Ron Paul runs 3rd party (no matter WHO the Republican nominee), Obama’s reelection is guaranteed. It’s as simple as that.

    Mike, Gingrich is no genius on foreign policy or history for that matter. He says Palestinians are an invented people. What is this place called Palestine then on these maps of the
    Assyrian Empire

    and the

    He might very well be a traitor to America for selling out American interests for more gold coins though.

    I’m sorry to tell you, but what you’ve written here is exactly what the architects of our false society want. We only have one political party in this country with two wings. The constant soap opera of American politics is specifically designed to tap into a primitive tribalism of my team Vs yours, and it works beautifully in our reality tv culture. If people really want a change, they’ve got to legitimize third party candidates. Or four parties or fifty parties. We have too much power in too few hands. Besides, newt is a true globalist and not a conservative. His presidency will not be any different than obamas, just like Obama isn’t any different than bush. Just different excuses and different people getting paid off.

    The problem with people who say “throw the bums out” is that we only throw half of them out at any one time.”

  • blueangel69

    Beck must be in some kind of reverie. If the presidential election was between Paul and Gingrich then that would be one thing but voting for a conservative 3rd party candidate simply serves to split the vote. Near sighted and self serving.

  • Can we just put the frontrunners in the Big Brother house and vote them off one-by-one?

  • Beck is like a college student with lots of money… Crazy, confused and irrelevant.

  • Justusthem

    Glenn Beck looks and sounds goofy. He didn’t used to, his endorsement of Bachman and his comments about Newt Gingrich makes me think he needs space and air.

    well. you obviously don’t want anything said negative about ole glenn boy…won’t post here anynmore as my post disappeared.

    Glenn Beck, surprised at you statement, zero.

  • That is the problem in Washington. When we all vote for the least of the evils that can win look at what we get. Vote for who you belive can do the best job.

  • labillyboy

    Ron Paul is the one candidate that will make me vote for Obama… He’s a certifiable Kook. His isolationist foreign policy rants disqualify him from holding the office. You should know if he goes 3rd party, Obama wins… end of story. So voting for him as a 3rd party candidate really won’t matter. There is ZERO chance of him being the Republican nominee.

    Romney, Newt, Bachmann, Perry any of them can beat Obama… and I will gladly support them if they win the nomination. Newt IS the smartest guy in the room and has more experience than all the others put together. He will wipe the floor with Obama in any debates they have, remember; without his “prompter” Barry is a deer in the headlights. Still, if one of the weaker candidates manages to win, I would vote for them too. I think you are dead wrong if you thing Newt won’t beat Obama easily.

    Why the best Republican candidates chose not to run I can’t answer, we have who we have and need to treat them all positively and avoid fratricide…

  • The Media is trashing Newt so he must be the best Candidate. Beck really wants his Morman buddy to get the nomination. He says he likes Bachmann although he knows she doesn’t have a snowball’s chance in hell of winning and in the mean time he can trash Newt so his buddy Romney can win.

  • This is what is wrong in Washington. when people start voting for who they think is best then we will see the right kind of change. Voting for the lesser of two evils just perpetuates the current condition. It may have to get worse before it gets better. People need to vote with passion.

    • Anonymous

      Actually, we’re voting the lesser of several evils, with the greatest evil being the reelection of Obama.

  • jedijones77

    Beck should just quit this charade and ask Bachmann to the prom already. If only someone had asked her, she might not have become the desperate attention whore she is today. Maybe Newt can set up a colony on the moon where Beck and Bachmann can live out their wedded bliss together in peace and privacy.

  • If you had a choice to vote for Hitler, Stalin, or George Washington but you knew Washington couldn’t win who would you vote for? I hope you all know my answer.

    Gingrich is the most unelectable of the entire GOP candidate field. How in the world did we end up with him as the frontrunner? I swear the Libs are somehow involved. How else could we end up with McCain (unelectable) last time and Newt (unelectable) leads this time? Are GOP voters really this dumb, or is someone pulling our strings? Unbelievable. This is like a carbon copy of the last cycle. Unelectable Washington insider candidate campaign under death watch, somehow rises from the ashes at the last moment (thank you MSM) to win the nomination and completely bomb the election. Is this some kind of sick joke?

    Obama and the Left are licking their chops at the prospect of a Gingrich nomination.

    • I wouldnt place a bet on that CD!!! Psycho politics 101 at work here im afraid…obama & his gang really fear Newt the most. They are telling all who are listening that they are most fearful of Romney…… Anytime someone seems eager to show you their hand, its time to be just a little suspicious. You heard it here first folks!!! GEE, its so nice to be first once in a while………..

  • We have fought so hard to stop Obamacare, Why vote for a Republican who has been an advocate for the individual mandate since 1993 and stated the same in May of 2011 on ‘Meet the Press’.

      Asking people to PAY for their healthcare is NOT the problem. Turning healthcare into welfare, basically giving it away free to anyone who finds any flimsy reason not to pay for it, and saddling the system with 2,000 pages of impenetrable regulations and an army of czars ready to man the death panels is the problem.

    • Where were you when Newt was taking hits on the nightly news for 5 years?

      Seriously?

      I remember Senate Republicans hating on Newt for not giving Hillary’s health care plan an ear at all! (It never got to the Senate Floor where they could tinker with it)

      I get the feeling that many of the same Republicans are changing their stories ….

      In the National Review article you posted, he references Newt’s “overheated rhetoric” and actually claims Newt used the 1995 GOP majority to “expand the size of government”?

      This author actually claims that two capital gains tax cuts and enough fiscal restraint to produce $1 trillion in surpluses is a government expansion.

      And he thinks Newt is the problem.

      I will be voting to bring the “problem” back in 2012.

  • I don’t know why people are making such a big deal over this. He is only saying that he would vote for Ron Paul if his other two choices were Newt/Romney or Obama. Can’t say I blame him. BTW I am no fan of Glenn Beck, he called all tea parters terrorists only a few years ago and said that anyone supporting Ron Paul should be in prison. Yes he appologized for those remarks and aparently had a change of heart about supporting the establishment, but all the same, I don’t like him. But he is right, i you want to vote for a true conservative, Ron Paul, Bachman (for the most part), and Santorum are your three choices, and of them Ron Paul has the best chance of winning the nomination AND beating Obama.

  • jedijones77

You claim to be a Libertarian but you are really a fraud. I used to love listening to your show until I started listening a little closer. You have what is known as the “God Sydrome” and become closer to the powers to be every day. I watched a show where you said out of all the candidates that you knew, your true positions were closest to Ron Paul. Fox must have really changed you…it has a way of doing that. I don’t watch your show any more….I don’t have any desire in listening to anything you have to say. You are no longer a friend to Freedom and Liberty.

    As an independent, I won’t vote for Newt. I’d rather have a proven-incompetent Democratic President with an almost-certain Republican Congress, than a Republican President I don’t regard as ethically acceptable.

    We’ve had a number of ethically challenged Presidents in the past. I’m not willing to use my vote to put in another one.

    My guess is that Newt would have a lot of trouble getting votes from independents and Reagan Dems who are old enough to remember him from his failed Speakership and his resignation.

    • jedijones77

      Reagan was divorced too, you yutz. Obama’s a great family man. How has that been workin’ out for you so far? Oh, and I wouldn’t call taking over the House for the first time in 40 years, passing welfare reform, balancing the budget, and ushering in a booming economy a failure. His only mistake was in thinking the public would hold Clinton to the same ethical standards that the Supreme Court and Arkansas court did.

      • You really have to wonder, if Newt had been the president of the Screen Actor’s Guild, if he would have been considered for the nomination at all! (Reagan was)

        Just imagine what Michelle Bachman would say now. She’d be demanding that Reagan answer for every insane statement made by the screen actor’s guild and then claiming he changed his position.

        I mean, that’s the treatment Newt gets for backing the Heritage foundation and helping to defeat Hillarycare.

    – Individual Mandate Socialized Healthcare
    – Cap N Tax
    – More Wars/ More Patriot Act

    Plus, Gingrich gives you Amnesty.

    If you want to go to war all over the place, that’s fine, just call you congressman and ask them to declare it! Ron Paul just simply won’t be circumventing congress to send out sons and daughters to war. It’s the job of Congress. Simple right?

      You’re right. Ron would get probably get 7% of Republican voters and 2% of dems. That’s a winning combo……..for berry.

    • Then win the primary fair and square. If he can’t get more than 15% of the primary vote, how is going to get 51% of the national electorate? Sore loser?

  • what’s wrong with nominating Ron Paul in the first place…because you know Paul’s supporters aren’t going to vote for Newt Romney.

    I will do the same thing as Beck….vote for Ron Paul either way….that way all you Paul haters will be the real blame if Obama gets re-elected because you already know we have drawn a line in the sand.

    Frankly I’d just as soon have Obama as Newt or Romney….same difference

      Exactly how is it the kid’s fault if his teacher sexually takes advantage of him? Cut the guy some slack, he probably has relationship issues because in this day and age that teacher would have been thrown in jail instead of being allowed to marry the kid. Newt seems to have worked out his personal demons and found God. That’s good enough for me. Let he who is without sin cast the first stone. I guess you would have been the guy administering the “scarlet letter” back in the day?

Each of these republican candidates should be focused on that one goal….that is if they can place the good of the country above their huge egos….but alas, they just continue to tear each other down. I am afraid we are doomed!! Here is my ‘big picture’ view: In November of 2008, the devil fired a gun at the UNITED STATES OF AMERICA and the bullet he used was barack hussein obama.

    • The right one is focused on the goal. That’s why he’s defied the odds and become the front runner.

    Mr. Beck is obviously very lonely at gbtv. The question must be asked, is he craving attention or has he fallen off his sobriety wagon? How can these words be coming from the mouth of an individual who has assailed BHO for the past three years? How America, at and and/or all cost, must rid itself of BHO. Now he is advocating a third party candidate??? What, to insure the destruction of America at the hands of BHO? ANY of the Republican candidates is better than BHO. So, Mr. Beck, for the sake of america that you claim to love so very much, PLEASE STFU!!!

    Ron Paul 2012!

  • I’m terrified of the prospect of some nut like Ron Paul running as a 3rd party candidate. Face reality, he has as much chance of being elected president as Raul Castro. All you WEALTHY talking heads who claim to be conservative, please think of us little working guys who have been devastated by Obama before you back any third party candidate. Perot gave us Clinton, “Unsafe at any speed” took just enough votes from Gore in Florida to prevent him from winning (thank you !!!).

    Many conservatives like myself held our noses and voted for McCain because we knew the devastation Obama would bring.

    PLEASE GLENN, Reagan said “80% of me is worth having” whenever he would compromise with democrats, we can’t get 100% of what we want.

    Please hold your nose and vote for Newt, Romney, Perry, whoever wins the republican nomination. I am earning 1/2 of what I used to earn and am nearing retirement with much less savings as Hussein Obama’s policies have crushed many of us “little working slobs”.

    If you don’t care about a poor broke schmuck like me, please think of Israel’s chances against Iran while Obama looks the other way as they march toward their first nukes….

      Actually, I’m more terrified of Trump running 3rd party as he has already said twice – once on Greta and then on Hannity – that if the voters don’t elect ‘his guy’ he will run as an Independent. He has put aside $230,000 for his campaign. He’ll be campaining on Long Island on Dec 13 pretending it’s a book signing. Trump is truly dangerous.
      So stop with the histrionics about Ron Paul running 3rd party and get the message out that Trump has already decided to do so.

  • 3rd party ensures the election of Obama. I won’t make that mistake again when I voted for Perot. I was much younger then and have wised up in my older years. Glen Beck is a moron for even encouraging this since the Paulbots are going to push for this if Paul is not the nominee.

    If Ron Paul were to run 3rd party, it would not detract from the number of conservatives voting. We could still count on winning the senate and holding the house. Perhaps even winning in a very big way. Give us 60 republicans in the Senate and the strong majority we already have in the House, and I don’t care who the President is. But I can tell you that I will not vote for Newt Gingrich or Mitt Romney. I can support Paul, Huntsman or Bachman. That is it.

      I see. SO you need someone that sounds cool, that plays well to your ear for you to vote for them. I guess you wouldn’t have voted for Lincoln because he was hard to look at and some voice imperfections.

      “Lincoln’s voice was, when he first began speaking, shrill, squeaking, piping, unpleasant; his general look, his form, his pose, the color of his flesh, wrinkled and dry, his sensitiveness, and his momentary diffidence, everything seemed to be against him — July 19, 1887”

      “The [second] inaugural address was received in most profound silence. Every word was clear and audible as the ringing and somewhat shrill tones of Lincoln’s voice”

      But hey to each his own and if cool is what gets your vote well then —— we get the government we deserve.

  • I will tell you now I won’t listen to you any more Glen Beck. You have lost my support and made me really really sad. Taking the side of a radical like Ron Paul who would set us up for great harm from other nations attacks and causing us to not have “law and order” in our society is just not the right thing to support. Also, man could not fight his way out of a wet paper bag on a debate. Obama will crush h im. We need someone who is Conservative and a Tea Paarty type like Newt Gingirch who can debate better than all of them – can think on his feet and has solid sensible thoughts and plans to help get us back on track. All other s fail miserably. Robotic Mitt can’t do it, senile and hard of hearing Ron Paul can’t do it!! Sure all of them have some goot points but over all experience and abilities fall to Newt Gingrich and I will work my tail off for this man and I am a right wing, Conservative perhaps even more than Michael SAvvage.

    Ron Paul’s ‘policies’ on the Middle East are the same for any foreign country — NO MONEY< PERIOD. It has nothing to do with Israel or anyone in particular. It has to do with moral not financial support.. Why do you hate welfare here but not abroad? Further RP knows that would be trouble and would NEVER go third party and has said so, so either Beck is just wanting to make RP look bad or he really really really hates Newt.

    PS – NO tea partier in their right mind would support Newt as he is the ANTI-THESIS of all the tea party has stood for since 2007.

    • Newt is the original Tea Partier. Not my words, either. Sorry you’re out of the loop. Sorry, too, that you don’t see Israel as one of our greatest allies any more than Ron Paul does. Israel = good, Fake Palestinians = evil.

        Even if I accepted your Disney world like notion of good and evil, the facts are, is that Israel has the 10th strongest military on the planet, hundreds more nukes then Iran (as in Iran doesn’t have any). And the last time any organized country tried to invade Israel (a conflict known as the Six Day War) it lasted six days! And this was before they had the “defend able position” they have now.

        Further more, if Israel is smart, I’m not so sure the Arab nations wouldn’t jump in on Israels side in a war against Iran.

    “He’s not my guy, but if he’s the nominee, I’ll run to the polls to vote for him and I’d encourage all of you to do the same.” -Author

    I don’t think the author understands what voting is.
    It has nothing to do with betting on a winner, and it’s not a team sport at which we compete.

    A vote is YOUR individual voice in an election. You’re supposed to select the candidate that precisely represents your opinions. If there is no such candidate on the ballot, then you should write in your own name. It’s not some two-party, gladiatorial, us-versus-them game.

    To suggest that voting third-party or write-in is a ‘waste’ of a vote is to fail to understand the very definition of the word. To the contrary, voting for someone you don’t agree with purely to ‘keep the other team from winning’ is a complete waste of a vote.

    In doing so (in voting for Newt because he’s the Republican nominee instead of voting for someone you truly agree with), you waste your vote and furthers the perception that we must choose between two poor candidates. In round numbers, about 10% of the already population does NOT vote for either a Dem or Rep. Imagine if that portion were 20%, or 30%. Folks might have a more optimistic view of third parties, rather than believing they’re a ‘waste’ of votes.

    If you keep perpetuating this false, us-vs-them, left-vs-right paradigm, then the only place we’ll head is down. (Don’t worry; there will be plenty of bread and circus regardless which party is in office).

    For the sake of our country, please do something virtuous this year, and vote for who you agree with most closely, regardless of their poll figures or media presence.

    • Sorry, Alex, but you’re wrong about that. Voting is not an artistic expression any more than candidates are demi-gods that are not people but ideas in corporeal form. It is not reality. Politics involve tactics. If Ron Paul or Ross Perot or Ralph Nader get 10% of the vote, it is not because they are unelectable; it is because 90% of the company don’t want or trust them for their own reasons. If Newt or Obama gets 49% of the vote, it hardly makes him unelectable. They just had fewer votes. This dreamy quality you have about voting belongs in kindergaarten. The real world starts to become apparent around 1st grade. It’s not about selling your dreams. It is about not being a fool.

  • Always suspected Beck was a sellout.

    Seriously, if he convinces Paul to run and we get Obama for four more years.

    Then our debt is 30 trillion by the time my kids have to pay for it. I’m going to tell them what self-promoting opportunistic pontificating self-important intellectual is responsible.

    Gingrich authored the only five balanced budgets since JFK was president, and he took more hell for it than Beck will ever have to face from behind his microphone. That is small government enough for me.

    • I’ve always liked Glenn, even if he’s so high strung he’s become the Tom Arnold of political discourse. But I’m pretty ashamed of this.

    • Ron Paul would veto the ridiculous types of budgets that Obama passes.. and that Newt or Mitt would certainly pass. So why wouldn’t you support him? Paul is the only one that gives a hoot about this country. All these other guys are in it for themselves and not you or me. Why is it so hard to convince people to support Ron Paul? He is the only serious candidate that offers any solutions!

      Do you honestly think that Newt or Mitt are going to have the American public in their best interest? They’re just playing the game that was designed for them and others like them. Ron Paul may be a player but he’s also said he’ll never accept a government pension and said he would accept a salary of less than $40,000 so that he would only earn the median income for American workers.

      He’s intelligent, honest, modest, and a good human being. Can you really say that about any other politician right now?

      • Perot would have vetoed all of those big spending budgets as well. He was a deficit hawk. He would have made a fine president.

        Yet, thanks to his 3rd party run, we got Clinton.

        If Newt hadn’t been the House Whip doing everything he could to thwart Hillarycare, and had he not viciously cut spending as the Speaker, we would have been bankrupt long before Obama took office.

        And Perot, the great deficit hawk that he was, would have been partly to blame!

        Ron Paul has a truly brilliant economic mind. Let us hope for our kids’ sake that he doesn’t make the nearly costly political mistakes of Perot.

          So we have to settle for Presidents like Bush 2, Bush 1, and even Ronald Regan, and watch as the deficits soar?

    I’m not sure why voting for Newt is better than voting for Obama.

    • I’ll address them all for you, Shawn:
      National Health Care? You need to pay your bills. Newt supported concepts brought forth from the Heritage Foundation, a group more conservative and intelligent than you could ever hope to be. Global Warming? Before the two recent scandals regarding e-mails and cover-ups, the science was NOT ON OUR SIDE. Sorry that you have forgotten that. Bailouts? FYI: Tarp has been paid back with interest; please get educated on the difference between TARP and government ownership of things like GM. Expansion of Medicare? Medicare Advantage and Part D CONTAIN Medicare, open up privatization, and gives all recipients skin in the game. Policing the world? Sorry, Ron Paul, but Iran is an imminent threat. Any other questions, Shawn?

    Glenn, I enjoy and listen to you most of the time, but Ron Paul is NUTS. Only Romney or Gingrich can beat Obama, and above all that’s the only reason to vote in 2012. Please reconsider your remarks.

    • Ron Paul is exactly what America needs right now… it’s unfortunate that you buy into the old “Ron Paul is nuts” non-sense. It’s so cliche and unoriginal. He’s the only man in the contest that should be taken seriously. He’s the only one that has any clue about the cause and result of our economic problem. He also seems to be the only one that’s willing to acknowledge that if you go around meddling in other people’s affairs it’s going to eventually come back to bite you in the butt.

      Bank bailouts
      Corporate welfare

      Torture
      Indefinite Detention
      the War on Drugs

          Poisonous drugs like… alcohol? Tobacco? The tens of thousands of prescription drugs people take because they are depressed, anxious, can’t sleep, can’t get an erection? Also – most illegal drug use is marijuana, which is not poisonous. Plus, that comment would insinuate that the war on drugs is actually designed to control drugs because it’s not. Google: Feds launders drug cartel money. Google: CIA torture jet cocaine. Google: Marines protect poppy fields. Google: Bank launders drug money. The war on drugs is not about drugs! ALso, do you believe that the government owns your body? Why do you believe the government has the right to initiate force over what an adult chooses to put into their own body? Doesn’t that sort of power make us basically slaves to the State?

          Define “terrorist”. If we invade another country, and citizens in that country fight back, are they terrorists? Also, those terrorists that killed 3,000 Americans are already dead.. they died in the planes. Are the Iraqi people terrorists? Remember the whole “weapons of mass destruction” lie? Remember the lies about Saddam’s ties to Al-Qeada? And if most of the hijackers were Saudi then why are doing nation building in Afghanistan? And better yet, why exactly are marines protecting opium fields when we all know very well that most of that is going to get exported to the United States? Hmmm….

          And to compare a “Disney waterslide” to water-boarding is absolutely insane. When did our society become so degenerative?

          And yes, industrial complex basically is an economic engine, but unfortunately the economy it produces has blood on its hands and the Constitution underneath its jackboots.

  • The Real Americans will vote for Ron Paul. The rest are boot-licking communist slugs.

  • I’m really disappointed in this. Glenn’s gone off the deep end. Attacking a patriot, genius, public servant, with a tried and tested conservative record, simply because he can’t wave a magic wand and tyrannically force the American public to do what Glenn would have wanted, in some artificial vacuum that will NEVER exist, no less. Just sad. And then to turn to Ron Paul, who though I respect, has ideas that would threaten not only us, but the entire world — it’s simply a shame. Democrats never do this to their own.

  • Gingrich is unelectable because he can’t appeal to independents and can’t win any Dems. Paul is the only GOP candidate that wins a majority of independents against Obama because of civil liberties and war/peace.

    I don’t vote party over principle. Chameleon Gingrich is a central planning utopian. He has lots of big ideas about how to run our lives from Washington. With blind party loyalty from a GOP congress he could transform us into the “Future Shock” he envisions. Obama on the other hand would be solidly opposed by a Republican Congress. So voting for stalemate by supporting GOP congress and voting principle for Paul, either as a third party candidate, write-in, or for some other third party, will be the way I go if Paul doesn’t get the nomination.

    Paul should just leave GOP altogether and start running as a Libertarian.
    STOP LIVIN A LIE RON.

    • Anonymous

      But he isn’t a Libretarian — why should he join the Libretarian Party.

      Oh maybe because –

      He has never voted to raise taxes.
      He has never voted for an unbalanced budget.
      He has never voted for a federal restriction on gun ownership.
      He has never voted to raise congressional pay.
      He has never taken a government-paid junket.
      He has never voted to increase the power of the executive branch.
      He voted against the Patriot Act.
      He voted against regulating the Internet.
      He voted against the Iraq war.
      He does not participate in the lucrative congressional pension program.
      He returns a portion of his annual congressional office budget to the U.S. treasury every year.
      Supports the elimination of the income tax and the Internal Revenue Service (IRS)
      We’re blindly marching towards a dark future where the government knows everything about you but you know nothing about the government.

      Ron Paul’s six point plan puts a stop to illegal immigration:
      Physically secure our borders and coastlines.
      Enforce visa rules.
      No amnesty.
      No welfare for illegal aliens.
      End birthright citizenship.
      Pass true immigration reform.

      If the above are Libertarian we need more of them.

      But I am betting that you didn’t know about the points above, you just parrot what you hear other main stream Republicans saying. I would wager it is the truth.

      • Anonymous

        He was a Libertarian, he had to switch back to a Republican to get back in with the establishment. He likes the 2-party system when it get him elected to congress, but then pretends he’s not a part of it when he runs for President …

  • Come on, people like you, you see nothing more than words, you never consider actions. You want words, you’ll get words. Newt had to mince a few to slow Hillarycare and ultimately see it 100% defeated.

    Had it not been for Newt Gingrich … Hillarycare, which was far more expansive and purely socialist than Obamacare, would have passed.

    And Newt took a beating in the press every single day for standing in the way of it.

    So he said “we should stop and look at mandates” so what. We had a solid Democrat Congress, and a Democrat President, yet as the house Whip he managed to keep Hillary’s plan from even passing the House ….

    • jedijones77

      He’s an American hero in my opinion. His biography is also similar to Winston Churchill’s. I can’t imagine ANYONE being more ready for the 3 AM phone call than Newt Gingrich.

      How can any reasonable pragmatic person that wants Obama replaced with a reasonable conservative overlook what Newt did when he led the re-taking of Congress after 40 years and balance the budget be so juvenile and threaten not to vote for him. These petulant beltway kingmakers refuse to see before their very eyes Newt cleaning all the candidates clocks in the debates. Plus his Newt.org site gives them more than enough documentation of his ideas. Being the smartest person in the room kills these babies.

  • Beck is such a shill! Anyone who professes hate for Obama like Beck has done certainly wouldn’t be so foolish as to promote a 3rd party candidate. I don’t believe Ron Paul would jeopardize the general election by running as a 3rd candidate. That’s just Beck trying to insult both Newt and Paul with the same stone. He’s an idiot, and what a shocker that he’d lead a split of the Republican party to insure Obama a win. The only thing Beck has done with this kind of foolish comment, is to have shown his true colors. What a NWO shill. I hope ppl will awaken to his game.

  • The problem with a liar like Newt: he will do many of the same things as Obama but conservatives will get the blame. At least conservatives are not blamed for what Obama does…

  • Anonymous

    My God! Many of you are heading for self destruction! Yes Newt Gingrich may not be a model candidate and I have many reservations on his candidacy, his past baggage and history, but compared to Obama, Gingrich has more loyalty and love for his country. Obama even have a hard time pretending liking your country. So if Newt happened to win the Republican nomination, he will still be a much better President compared to what you have now. Yes, it could have been good that the other candidates will show more improvement in the polls, but after the nomination you should rally fully behind whoever will be nominated otherwise you will bring your country down with you.

    If one cannot have all what one need and want, one needs to prioritize. And right now, the most important thing is not to give Obama more years to destroy the foundation of your country by appointing many people like him who would undermine US interests domestically and abroad which would surely tear the fabric and ties which bind you as country. He has been successfully undermining your country while just 3 years in office, imagine if he is given 4 more years!

    If any of the current candidates will choose to run as third party candidate after losing the republican nomination that says more on the absence of character of that candidate. That is a sore loser way of doing things. A reality check from an observer in Canada!

    • jedijones77

      Nice to see there are still a few good Canucks out there! I think I’ll go out and buy a Canadian bacon pizza tonight as my way of saying thanks for your surrogate patriotism.

      • Anonymous

        Thanks! There are many Canucks here who are hoping that Americans will regain back their country for yours and world’s sake. As I see it, it is very commendable that people rally behind their candidates; having said that, I find it irrational that when their candidates loses, they then turn their back and hand their country to the destroyer willingly than face their candidates’ defeat.

        For those candidates who volunteered entering the Republican nomination, they willingly entered into a kind of contract where they understood that they have to abide by the results of the nomination, win or lose. They cannot then turn, after losing, and say they did not like the result – so they would be running as a third candidate. There is a stink of sore loser mentality with such kind of character (a baby that cries foul!). They could have just run as a third candidate instead of going through a nomination process if they have no intention of abiding by the will of the electorates.

        There will always be a clash of personalities for people of egos and personalities, and come to think of it, even people who self profess to lacking of it. But to disparage a commendable movement or a group just to drive a point is lunacy and a great disservice to those who do not deserve such disparagement.

    I’d encourage all of you to vote your conscience and not out of fear of who may be elected because you chose to cast favorably for the right person rather than the lesser of two evils.

  • How about this… Make sure Newt isn’t the nominee and make sure Ron Paul is. Look, the left that supports Ron do so knowing he’s pro-life and small government. Time to man up and meet them a bit on his foreign policy. We win with Paul and lose with Newt.

    Andrew Breitbart calls Glenn Beck a huckster – I’m beginning to think he’s right.
    Glenn Beck’s problem is that he hates the idea that Newt’s the smartest person in the room.

  • Glenn….I’ve been a big follower and supporter of you as well as being part of the Tea Party movement. But you’ve gone off the reservation. I don’t care who you support…that’s your business and right. What disturbs me at this point is that you are coming out publically for or against one candidate or another. I notice that Fox News is doing the same as you. Wallace, Baier, Hume and Krauthammer have made it obvious that the in-crowd of which you are sadly a part, supports anyone but Gingrich. Now I don’t look up at any of this bunch but I have and do look up to you. I’m going to start supporting Gingrich just so that I can oppose all the insider Republicans. It would have been better not to support or oppose any of the candidates at this point…because you have a large following and you can influence their voting.

Sorry Glenn, you have gone round the bend. The Paul bots are not Pubs in sense of the word but could at least unite with the Indies, Reagan Dems TEAS and GOP to defeat the real enemy : Obama and his socialist Dems in both Hose and Senate. It is shocking that you have little regard for Newt , forgiveness, and repentance but would give the election to Obama on your snit. Yikes.

  • fuul aluuf

    Only when the GOP knows they are sure to lose every election in which they run a Progressive will they stop putting them up.

    Voting in the general election for Newt will 100% give us:
    1. four more years of a Progressive again (repub or dem)
    2. four more years of a Progressive again (repub or dem)
    3. four more years of a Progressive again (repub or dem)
    4. four more years of a Progressive again (repub or dem)
    5. four more yeras of a Progressive again (repub or dem)

    Refusing to vote for Newt (or Mitt for that matter) will 100% give us:
    1. four more years of a Progressive again (Obama)
    2… then Repubs will know we are serious and finally choose a Conservative!
    3. four years of a Conservative
    4. four years of a Conservative
    5. four years of a Conservative

    They have to know that we will throw the election. I know that’s hard to swallow when Obama is in the office, but 4 more years of Obama is better than 24 more years of Progressives.

    Of course! Especially if Gary Johnson would run for Vice President!

  • Wow. I am amazed at how many conservatives there are who have no real understanding of freedom. Will you really support a progressive as long as they have an “R” behind their name? Beck is right. Do a little research on Ron’s middle east policy as well; it’s non-interventionist – not isolationist (as the progressive media would have you believe.)

    Further, Ron WILL split the vote. Democrats and Republicans, as well as many independents (like myself) realize that the parties are not for freedom (economic, social, or political.) Hopefully these people that are waking up to this reality will be enough to get Ron in.

    • jedijones77

      So why don’t you nominate Hilary for the Republican ticket and Romney for the Democrat ticket? Hey, it’s no more ridiculous than running Ron Paul as a 3rd party.

  • Shark Man

    Mr. Beck, please then…. help us ensure Ron Paul gets the republican nomination so it doesn’t come to that!

    The only reason to not vote for paul (if you are a conservative) is because you prefer dropping bombs than saving our own country from economic disaster.

  • I do not know how any sane person can watch what has happened in this country the last dozen years and vote for anyone other than Ron Paul. Write this down, fools. If anyone other than Ron Paul wins, America is done. Case closed. End of discussion. It’s your choice.

        If conservatives and Republicans can essentially be bitterly and hopelessly divided over who is nominated to represent them in the 2012 election by the media and various political factions, even to the point of 10-20% voting for a third party candidate, Obama can easily win regardless of what his current numbers are. Divide and conquer is the current strategy and it appears to be working.

  • I hope Ron Paul wins. I will never, ever vote for the Newt World Order. He’ll be just as bad as Obama, if not worse.

    • jedijones77

      Somehow I doubt Newt will stoke the fires of Occupy Wall Street. He already told them to get a bath and get a job. Not seeing the difference between Obama and Newt means you’re being totally irrational.

      • Anonymous

        Ditto jedijones77. I’m afraid we are dealing with either an Obamaist plant or someone lacking in the knowledge and/or judgement necessary to make legitimate distinctions between candidates. Ron Paul supporters often come across as cult members that see him as the messiah, as the ONLY ONE that can truly solve our problems. Actually, Ron Paul is to the left of Obama when it comes to foreign policy. Although Paul has some good ideas I think he is ultimately unbalanced ideologically and dangerous for the republic if elected.

        • Then you need to read up on the facts and comprehend them correctly. You will find we either elect Ron Paul,or we become a third world country.Depending where you live in America,some Americans feel they are already living in a third world country.

  • Anyone who doesn’t vote for Ron Paul is an idiot. You do not care about America.You will vote for politics as usual and then complain about it. The ONLY candidate for President that can save this country is Ron Paul. He is the ONLY person that cares to save us from the Obama socialist agenda. You think he’s crazy? It is you that is crazy,and dumb to boot. Stupid people shouldn’t vote. Take the hint morons.

      This inane comment exposes another obnoxious Obamaist plant or crazed Ron Paul cult member. Anytime someone tells you that (fill in the blank) is the “Only candidate” that can save the country you know their judgment is blinded by the candidates personality and is not thinking rationally. However, we can’t ignore the possibility that these types of comments are being posted by Dems trying to create fragmentation among conservatives in order to divide and conquer come Nov.

      • I have been a Republican for 50 years of my life. I became an Independent 6 years ago when i decided to vote for the betterment of America,instead of on strictly party lines.The only judgement you have ever seen is when a judge told you,as a defendant,to please rise.Never been a Democrat,or an Obama voter or supporter.It is morons like you BSdetector that are destroying America with your stupid comments and vote.I hope your not old enough to vote because you are part of the problem that this country faces today.

    Newt is the right man at this time. Beck, Ron Paul get too kooky. Newt’s been pushing “drill here, drill now, pay less” for quite some time. Global warming nutjobs don’t do this. Newt can be a little eccentric, but he’s nothing to be afraid of. Newt is not like Romney, as Beck wants to portray. It’s just that Newt has the guts to say the truth and people hate that, even you Glenn Beck sycophants. Listen to Rush and learn what real conservatism is all about.

  • Of course if Newt wins the nomination, we should all run to the polls to elect him. One problem: He can’t beat Obama. The only man that can is Romney! Question to all the Newt supporters out there: Can Newt win New Hampshire in the general next November? The answer is clearly NO! Can Mitt? YES!!! New Hampshire may be the key to dumping Obama. Think before you vote and for the sake of the country, focus on the prize!

    The reason we have Republican administrations like Bush making Big Government into Gargantuan Government is because voters like you say “I’ll vote for the Republican nominee no matterwhat!”

    So why would the GOP go out of its way to please you? It’s going to move to the center to capture independents by promising them more free goodies.

    If you believe in the principle of small government, than the most important vote you can cast is the one *against* a Big Government Republican.

    • jedijones77

      It’s not about big vs. small government so much as good government. Going to the moon and defeating the Soviet empire weren’t jobs for small government, but they were the right thing to do. Newt is a guy with big, bold ideas and a few of them should be given a real good look. I know he isn’t going to bust the budget to do anything and that’s what counts.

They know no setting president has ever been defeated with the country at war. They are very determined that their Federal Reserve scam remain in place as well as their global financial empire. You really don’t think Obama is a real president, do you? They got tired of Bush, screwing up their propaganda, so Obama must read everything off that teleprompter! And why are some voters considering NEWT when he’s the guy that rammed through NAFTA, GATT that caused that “giant sucking noise” as all our jobs went overseas? Newt doesn’t believe in nationalism and a sovereign country. He is an internationalist, so how could he take oath of office? Lie like a dog.

    My primary vote is so far down the pipe the decision will be made before I get a chance to cast it.

    In will vote for the GOP nominee regardless where they fall on the conservative scale. The strongest conservative down to the least of the GOP candidates will be better for America than 0bama. America can not / will not survive another 4 years of his administration. What concerns me is that the USA is so financially strapped now that regardless what is done if a conservative gets in the country is too far down the tubes to be rescued.

    I find it very offensive for beck to labeled me a RACIST if I do not agree with his assessment of Newt and cast my vote for him should he be the GOP nominee. I would prefer a stronger conservative out front, but they are not leading, and little chance they will.

    Let’s assume there are two political parties in hell. One led by Lucifer, the other, Beezlebub. The citizens of hell have concluded that it is a wicked and awful place. There is a general election coming, and they need an outsider to lead hell from its miseries, someone who is not part of the establishment – the status quo if you will.

    One of their number has an epiphany, and gets in touch with Jesus to see if he’ll run. To the surprise of many – as a merciful, selfless, and kind being, he agrees!

There is only one foe here and the main purpose is to get him out of office. If the “not born a natural citizen” mandated by the constitution will not get him out, then we have Newt to do it

He fought (in his girly way) for amnesty, never spoke up about the lies being taught to children in schools, ignored the pro-life movement, waged a stupid war against the wrong enemy (better to fight with words against the atheist liars pretending to be honest reporters at ABC, NBC and CBS, for THEY are fomenting hatred against America, even among Muslims).

    Gingrich has more fight in him than anyone in years with a chance of winning. He will do SOME very conservative things and some liberal things. Romney will only be a fiscal conservative, which while useful is hardly the major issue threatening this country. I’ll take Newt.

  • Whats the difference? Newt or Romney winning would probably guarantee a US Iran war. Sadly many neoconservatives think thats a great idea, seriously!

        Please WAKE UP!!!! Get out of la la land. Both candidates Romney and Newt support the green energy market. High gas prices and gov subsides is the only way that the green energy market (ethanol, wind, solar, bio, etc) can be competitive. If take away gov subsides and gas prices lower to $50 barrel than at least green energy is bio degradable than the green market won’t exists anymore.

        If we do what Ron Paul will do as president and free the energy markets and not control them. The price of oil will go down to $.50 per gallon.

I remember Glenn doing a special on the Federal Reserve banking cartel not too long ago and exposing some of the dirt on the Fed Reserve. The Fed Reserve has been in Ron Paul’s crosshairs for a long time. The Fed Reserve is a super-powerful beast that wields much greater power than any elected official because they have a monopoly on the world’s reserve currency. The Fed Reserve has printed tens of trillions of dollars during the manufactured bailout crisis without any oversight and fought for years in court to keep all this information a secret.

    Just read all of these knucklehead posts……and I came to a conclusion: Republicans are so divided that you idiots are going to hand the presidency to OBAMA – AGAIN. Sure Newt has faults, a progressive at heart HOWEVER….Newt is a far better choice than OBAMA. If you conservatives don’t pull your heads out of your a**ses I can pretty much guarantee OBAMA will serve another 4 years. And then all of you will have no one else to blame but yourselves. This reminds me of the Ross Perot BS. Divide the conservatives and you guarantee the other party will win. I give you BILL CLINTON as my example.

    • It’s pretty much a done deal at this point that Obama will win 2012. He will likely have sweeping victories in congress too. All of the republican candidates with the exception of Romney and Huntsman are a complete joke. The Republicans should be embarrassed that those on the stage are the best they can put up, but with leadership like Boehner and McConnell, it isn’t surprising…Obama is going to slaughter whomever his opponent is in the general election and debates.

      • HAH! Obama will lose hands down. Republicans will retain control of the House,AND take the Senate majority. What country have you been living in?

        • David, I live in the real world unlike those who live in the conservative news bubble of fox and the right wing propagandists. We all know the problems that we are facing stem from the death of the middle class and have come from 30 years of destructive republican/republican light policies from Reagan, Bush, Clinton, Bush. Obama isn’t that great but he’s the best President we’ve had since Carter.

    For a change I agree with Beck. Never thought that would happen.

  • For the life of me I do not understand why conservatives are calling Newt Gingrich a big government guy. From what I observed of his record while Speaker of the House is he is not. While Speaker he got millions of folks off of the welfare roles, helped balance the budget and changed a 10 year projected $2+ trillion deficit into a surplus of about the same amount.
    So here is a former politician that has actually a record that largely matches his talk. For that I can forgive him for a few screwy ideas.
    Just one more thing. While Speaker he lost the majority in the House that he gained (first time in 40 years) for the Republicans. What did he loose it over? A budget battle with Clinton that shut down the government. The press convinced the public that it was Gingrich who was the unreasonable one–not Clinton. What was the fight about? Gingrich wanting to reduce the budget, that is what. This is hardly what a progressive (as Beck is labeling him) fights for. As you all know, they looooove big budgets.

  • If the GOP doesn’t get it yet, the American people do NOT WANT AN INSIDER, PERIOD. Have you seen congress’s approval ratings? As for myself, will be voting ANYone least “insider”. If this includes Obama, so be it. This country needs either a direct intervention OR brought to its KNEEs. CAIN-Yes, Paul-Yes, Newt-NO, Romney-NO, Bachman-NO, Obama-Maybe (depending on who’s he’s against). Get it yet? understand yet? Remember Reagan? Was he an insider?

    • But if you look at the disapproval ratings of congress,you will find it is of the Democratic congressmen,not the Republicans.

    As for Bachmann, she’s a neo-conservative who will continue the endless wars and the bloated military budget. (did you know that in 2011 we spent 579 Billion dollars more then the Chinese, Source-Stockholm International Peace Research Institute)

    But compare her to Gingrich, and Romney and she is a pit bull who more likely to cut the budget deficit then either of those to.

    Personally I’d prefer Paul.

We all have one very scary and dangerous enemy and this is OBAMA , however liberals know very well how to play the games and fiddle with our brains to keep us busy fighting with each other and eat our own…no matter how flawed they are they are still a huge improvement over what we have in WH and will get much worse, trust me…..
      So, no matter WHO the nominee in our party is we have to support him/her…whatever…
      The survival of our country is at stake…and that is more important than spending time checking who voted for what!!! Don’t play liberal games among each other, leave it for MSNBC and rest state run media!

  • Ok, “IF” Ron Paul gets the nomination, I will vote for him! While Ron Paul has some good ideas; in some areas, he IS coo coo for cocoa puffs!

    1. Legalizing DOPE!; even co-sponsoring a bill for that with barney “freddie & fannie FAG” frank! Why make any deal with a devil like that?!?

    2. Saying he would have dennis kucinich (HUGE LIB.!) on his cabinet?!?

    3. Having NO problem with a nuclear armed iran?!?

    So far, none of the nominees for the GOP have my support 100%; I have liked/like Bachmann, Perry, and was really going to back/support Herman Cane…
    “IF” anyone runs as a 3rd party candidate (on right/conservative side); then they hand “resident” (thats NOT a typo!) obama a second term; and that VERY Well may be the nails in the coffin of the Republic!!!
    Bottom line: ANYBODY but obama in 2012!
    I would have some reservations with any of them but Good LORD, obama must be defeated!!!

    This is what happens when you create a “cult of personality” like the one surrounding Beck. The cult leader inevitably becomes narcissistic and self-destructs.

    I mostly agreed with Beck during his Fox News days. I did get the impression that his philosophy was a bit manic and felt he may do a 180 at some point.

    I agree with his premise that Newt is not the the solution to the crisis America is facing. But, attacking Tea Party Americans as racists, is the worst kind of hyperbole and then doubling down with a third party Ron Paul endorsement is reckless and irrational.

    Beck needs to soberly look at the events of the last few days and reassess his positions.

  • Newt is evil. Evil evil evil. He makes Obama look like a boy scout, and that’s saying a lot, seeing as Obama is about as bad as it gets. Newt is a globalist who believes int he end of the family, open borders, foreign wars and intervention without restraint and believes firmly in the power of big government to order lives and plan economies.

So, in a three way race, he could easily come in second if not third in a three-way race between he, Paul, and Gingrich. Given Gingrich’s unbelievably high negatives, even higher than Paul’s in a general election, it could be the perfect storm for a first-ever, third party President… of course, that is wishful thinking on my part, but quite possible nonetheless.

          No he is correct. Today’s Republican is minimally different from a Democrat. The only difference is the groups to whom they feed our tax money.

          The “I’ll vote for the Republican nominee no matter what” crowd are not for small limited government. They are for limiting anything that doesn’t affect them but for limiting all the big government programs, nope not gonna do it. They are right winged and think they are conservative but in reality they are not anything near a constitutional conservative. They are also for increased police powers and more and greater government snooping. They are the same people that were in that old German story of “First they came for the communists, and I didn’t speak out … out because I wasn’t a Jew. Then they came for me and there was no one left to speak out for me”

        • He’s absolutely correct.

          Only true REPUBLICAN with an R I see running in this contest is Ron Paul. (OK, Gary Johnson is running too – but they’ve shut him out.) Rest everyone is either a progressive big spender AND/OR big-empire-military-spending big spender. They are absolutely not different from Obama in that regard.

          Look at the posts, they’re all basically the same, no individuality, just the same rehashed message post after post. It’s like reading messages from one person with 200 different tags saying the same thing. Do you all come up with this on your own or are handed out talking points ?

      are you guys being paid by Paul campagn

  • No comment I have read so far has given adequate justification on why a Newt nomination would mean an Obama victory. Will people just forget they have no jobs? Will people just forget Obama’s horrible foreign policy? Will people just forget Obama is anti-American? Other than Newt not being your choice, why exactly will Obama win? Please answer without using talking point comments and dont end your comment with a cultish RON PAUL!!! That influences no one.

    • Jacob Bobay

      Ron Paul has a record to prove he’s consistently conservative in the purest form of “limited govt.” Newt pays lip service to such a record he may have in a parallel universe. Don’t take my word for it, look it up.

        So what exactly comprises a “limited govt” in your eyes ? What agencies, regulations, etc. would you keep ? Just curious, constantly hear about what you would get rid of, what would you keep ? …

        • Jan

          Which do you feel we need to keep?

          • [this comment excludes the atrocity of Obamacare] All of these entilments were created during economic abundance. If we re-establish that abundance we can reduce the dependency and phase out entitlements. Lower regulations, lower taxes, and investment incentive will overpower the ‘nanny state’ just like it has in the past. SS should be re-structured and privatized, similar to bank accounts. The country is not a giant worker’s union. Medicare fraud just similpy needs to be prosecuted. Medicare is a mini version of Obamacare. The military should never be cut because national defense is a primary function of the government. Military funds could be better spent though.

            • Jan

              Drake – I’m with ya, my only beef with the military is that it could shed a few pounds without any security deficiencies. Some military agencies/departments are noting more than bureaucratic cesspools of wasted taxpayer dollars with no accountability to anyone but themselves. Other than that, most programs initiated in the last 90 + years have never delivered on any of their objectives and continue to balloon at an alarming rate.

              • Ture. Eliminating bureaucracies is never a bad thing.

              I guess this is where I get confused then, because all this sounds good, not far from what I believe, but then you have the other side of the RP supporters say that they would like to do away with the entire Military Industrial Complex, ( no idea what that means, assuming it has something to do with the military ).

              What you say here are good words, it’s just that I hear a lot of the RP supporters saying the opposite of what you wrote, and that is what is turning off a lot of people. It’s not what Ron Paul is saying that is hurting him, it’s what some of his supporters are saying that he believes, that is hurting his cause to a limited extent.

              It seems as though they’re putting words in his mouth that they came up with based on something unrelated he may have said in the past, and proclaiming it his policy and if I were a true Ron Paul supporter, that would make me upset.

              • Ron Paul supporters are like Ron Paul. Ron Paul is a Libertarian, not a conservative. I could write for hours on this, but the role of the military and authority are viewed differently. Most people are conservatives with traditional American values and as such are humble, quiet, and non-imposing which is why everyone else always appears they way they do. Conservatives represent the values that made/make America great. The military protects our freedom and itself is not intended to be free. The military is designed to take control which is a power Libertarians don’t like. The industrial complex termanology just signifies a misunderstanding of the role of the military. I may be wrong, but I don’t believe I have ever heard/read Ron Paul wanting to eliminate the US military. That would be foolish and stupid; Ron Paul is neither. And thankyou for understanding what I’m trying to say:)

        • Keep medicare, social security (these are not entitlements but, programs tax payers have been paying into their entire working lives).Put the military on our borders,which is the governments ONLY responsibility. But they do everything but the only job they have under the constitution. trash the rest.

      • See, that is more like it. Consistency is a good point. Paul has been around just as long as Newt and hasn’t deviated much, if at all. I just see Paul’s approach as impractical — like cutting off an infected limb. He has a stong sense of and highly advocates the Constitution but doesn’t offer anything specific. Newt, though arrogant, offers specific ideas in a practical way.

        I would vote for Paul over Obama, but I still haven’t read anything concrete why Newt would loose to Obama. Obama is such a disaster I don’t see Newt’s decade old problems posing a threat.

        Good point. Much more rational than a talking point answer. And I’ve most likely looked up more about these candidates that anyone else in this comment section.

I mean look at you all attacking me like I’m some terrorist. Oh, wait, those don’t exist. They only exist because we won’t leave…they’ll kill you wherever you are.

    • bfclark1

      Drake, are you serious? You don’t know why Gingrich will lose to Obama? What are you smoking? I know you just said that in the hopes that no one would challenge you and that you could influence them to believe that Gingrich has a chance in hell. Let me remind you of some facts…. 1) Gingrich basically stole taxpayers money that he received doing pseudo-lobbying for freddie mac. While he was getting richer Americans were losing their homes and jobs. 2) Gingrich is a notorious cheater and cheat on all his wives and girlfriends, even bringing his children in to the hospital where his wife was dying of cancer to serve divorce papers- nice guy eh? 3) he’s a fat insider white guy going up against a skinny better lookin browish guy that can bring in the african american/hispanic vote.

      Gingrich does not have a chance in hell and anyone that supports that fat tub of lard evil bastard deserves 4 more years of Obama.

      OH yeah, RON PAUL 2012!!! The only chance to beat Obama!

      • I said no talking points. Stole, cheater, and fat are not words that substantiate an argument. They are emotional words that show a cultish followers ignorance. Give me something coherent that sounds like you thought of it yourself. Also, everyone knew all of these things before he ran for President and he’s still beating your messiah.

        P.S. – I don’t smoke. I’m am smart. I’ve also never said I was pro-Newt. You obviously don’t care about discussing anything.

        • bfclark1

          let’s flip the coin. What is it about Paul that you dislike? You obviously have some kind of anti Paul bias since you call people that want a reigned in Constitutional Government “cultish followers”. I guess you could call us the “cult of the Real Republicans” since your hero the Newtster is a phony as proved by his voting for the Dept of Education, Patriot Act and TARP. Newt basically is Obama. Everyone with three brain cells to rub together has realized that the two party system is corrupt, and that Ron Paul is hijacking it on behalf of Americans to save the Country from corruption. So sure, call me a cultish follwer I’ll take that since I beleve in the motto live free or die. You apologists for the status quo really disgust me, pardon my french.

          • First notice the comments. Every attack on me is from a Ron zealot. No one has answered the question. Ron forbid anyone say anything against Ron. Now I will answer your question. 1) Ron Paul has very Constitutional views, that’s a good thing. 2) He is very clear. 3) He is consistent. 4) I believe he will follow through with what he says. I am not a Ron zealot and I don’t see Newt = Obama. I don’t understand why Newt is so high in polls myslef. He is exactly what everyone says yet he is leading. Acknowledge that doesn’t make me pro-Newt. If Ron gets the nomination, great, I’ll vote for him. You, however, view me as anti-Ron. That means I must be like anyone else I mention. Show me where I’m status quo. Show me that I disagree with your views on the status quo. Finally, regurgitating what your master says, it doesn’t validate you. I read the same things your read, probably more.

            not even a nice try man. Those that would vote for a third party candidate whether it be Ron Paul or anyone else is indirectly assuring that Obama gets a second term.

      Newt would lose the 18 to 39 year old vote who are war and nation building wary and would stay home. The 50 year olds like myself would not vote for Newt either. Us older folks remember him twisting the arms of the newly elected conservatives in the House and dragging them to the left. The conservatives who bucked Newt’s leftward agenda were targeted by him with primary challenges. Newt’s biggest failure was when he capitulated to Clinton over the government shutdown. And why did Newt back down to Clinton over the shutdown? Simple, he lost too many fiscal conservatives in the prior election that he himself was responsible for having worked for their defeat. BTW, Ron Paul was one of the conservatives that survived Newt’s conseravative purge.

      • Us 58 year olds won’t vote for the POS either. We’re old but our memories are intact.

        • Mike Woodyard

          It’s hard to rewrite history when those of us that lived it are still around but it seems the Newt supporters think they can.

Are you telling me that you are goint to vote for Obama if Newt wins the nomination? Not vote at all? That’ll show him! Listen Ron zealot, shouting, screaming, and being vile advances nothing. Answer the question. I don’t care how old you are.

Have a good day sir, you have done more to harm your preferred candidate than I could ever done.

          • You are saying things anyone can read. You are not answering the question. Compare Newt to Obama not Newt to Ron. My comment is not about Ron but all of your fellow zealots turned it that way. Read my initial post and see if you can find anything referencing Ron Paul other than requesting people not end their post with RON PAUL!!! In fact, why don’t you tell me why I think that tag is cultish? No one esle says MIT ROMINY!!! or MICHELL BACHMANN!! or RICK SANTORUM!!! Go ahead and read the comments throughout this posting board. You haven’t exposed me as anything. You don’t even know if I’m an American citizen.

              Drake, no one says ‘Mitt Romney! or “Michelle Bachman!! at the end of their posts because no one cares about them at all. They don’t inspire any passion because thinking people realize that if they were elected we would simply have more of the same. More wars, less middle class, more of a debt burden etc. People don’t get excited about lies and hypocracy. Ron Paul represents honesty in politicsc which is so rare as to be almost extinct. For many it really is Ron Paul or none at all.

              • Well stated. That was thoughtful and coherent with a sense of motivation. I completely agree. Neither Romny or Bachmann inspire anything but boringness. I completely agree about lies and hypocracy. I agree Ron Paul articulates well. Why couldn’t you say that to begin with. But my question still hasn’t been aswered 🙂

          Newt is the very definition of unelectable. There, does that answer your question? His history, his name, his appearance….but mostly his history- he CAN’T WIN and more importantly, HE’S NOT FIT TO BE PRESIDENT.

          • Unelectable is a media term. If he is unelectable why are his pole numbers so high? I will grant you he is an ugly man, but appearence is also a media and superficial thing. I don’t accept defeatist thinking. Anyone but Obama means, ANYONE BUT OBAMA! No current Republican candidate is worse that Obama. Every candidate is better. Newt cheated on his wife which is a big deal to me, but it won’t stop me from voting for him over Obama. I cannot stand his know-it-all attitude, but it wouldn’t stop me from beating Obama. He may not be fit to be President, but he is much more fit that Obama. Don’t you understand? It is not about how bad any Rebulican candidate is. It is about beating Obama and there are enough people like me that don’t care as long a Obama is defeated. Stop the hemorrhaging before you treat the wound. Obama will never be defeated unless everyone opposes him. Sorry if it’s not the candidate that you want but that is why we vote.

  • Newt appeals to a few southerners but the rest of the nation hates his guts. I just cannot see Newt making it through the general election. Newt could win shoe-in red states but independent heavy purple states will go to Obama. Principled conservatives should rally around Bachmann or Santorum. Romney and Paul are secondary. Newt is a big government federalist.

    If your analogy is simply a way of stating that third party candidacies are futile and assure the defeat of the candidacy that they are most closely associated with politically then okay that does make some sense. Thankfully we are not dealing with a scenario like the one in your non-analogy. Although the Republican party has many flaws (in 2000-08 they definitely lost their way on domestic issues and many were tossed out as a result) and could certainly be improved greatly by conscientious Tea Party citizen influence, it is a lie from the pit of hell for any one to suggest that there is little or no difference between the Democrat and Republican parties. Although the Republican party often lacks courage and conviction and the ability to effectively communicate a message or counter the venom of the Democrats, it is the only viable party standing between the radical Dem agenda we have experienced over the last few years and the republic as it was framed to be. We need to work from within the party to make it more committed to conservative principles and not abandon it for the historically foolhardy attempt to create a brand new alternative that will again assure the victory for the party passionately dedicated to implementing principles that are 180 degrees out of phase with free markets and individual liberty.

    The problem with Romney is he is no different than the Bushes and McCain. Romney honestly thinks that government can solve people’s problems and he will make it bigger to try to do this. Rick Perry would not do this and I suspect that Gingrich may not do this. We are broke and the Federal government is the cause of it. It doesn’t need fixing like most Rinos think, it needs to be disbanded.

    It’s hard not to see Newt as yet another Republican candidate failure, a legacy nominee in the mold of McCain, Dole and GW Bush. WAKE UP YOU IDIOTS! I am not a cheerleader for Romney, but I’ll do Olympic gymnastics for him if it’s MITT versus Newt.

  • I agree with Beck on many issues. But, Beck is nescient if he would support Obama over Newt. Newt is a jedi master on history, fiscal policies, and geopolitics. I kept up with Newt over the years. There’s no doubt he’s conservative. Anyone remember the Welfare Reform Act of 1996? Yes, Newt was a driving force behind it. I remember the government getting shut down and Newt getting the budget legislation done in ’97. Newt also pushed and got the biggest cuts in capital gains with the Taxpayer Relief Act of 1997. The economy turns around and who gets credit? President Clinton.

    There is no comparison between the record of Newt Gingrich and Ron Paul. One is a fat lying slime ball and one has been standing up for American’s rights for his entire life. This shouldn’t even be a debate Ron Paul should have just been crowned President in the last election. The economy needs to be fixed and Paul’s the only one who understands how to get that done. Gingrich would probably find a way to steal taxpayers money like he did with freddie mac instead of fixing what’s wrong.

Among other things he is wearing teflon armor strong enough to repel Republicans except Ron Paul and I just heard your comments about that, he is not good enough to get your vote as a republican and the most conservative man on the stage hands down, barry can’t touch him because he requires no armor for God has always guided him to this point and now its up to the non-believers who let their pride and misgivings get in the way of an obama defeat!!

    Great idea Glenn, that will insure an Obama victory, the same way Perot gave us Clintin twice. compared to Obama, Clinton was fabulous. You might as well endorse Obama outright Glenn.

  • There is also “the Lincoln Option” and that is to draft Col Allen West.

  • Voting for Paul is suicide. He is nearly 80 years old, much too old to run. He also doesn’t believe in a strong military and is an isolationist.

    Somehow, I doubt Beck said this and if he did, he’s nuts.

  • What you are saying is settle for the evil of two lessers. I would not do that. Newty boy is not acceptable and will not win if the Republicans choose him to be the candidate. A vote for Newt guarantees another term for Obama. Might as well vote third party or write his name in.

    I would vote for Ron Paul and so would everyone I know as they are sick and tired of being sick and tired. The economy sucks, the wars suck and so does the idea that a third party cannot win. A third party can win if things get bad enough and the people realize that the two parties are really just one big party.

    We need someone new with vision. All the other candidates are chosen for us by the media which is owned by the bankers who control everything. Ron Paul represents a threat to the very bankers who think they own the world. Ron Paul represents a paradigm shift in the way that people think about government. If Paul is not elected, look for more of the same and even worse. Even if elected, I believe that it will get worse as the supposed owners of the world will try to eliminate Ron Paul as they tried to do with Ronald Reagan.

      Steve I know you mean well but there is not a chance in h@ll of any third party candidate winning in the foreseeable future. Many in Texas doubt Ron Paul can retain his House seat.

  • BECK has gone off the deep end. I think he is making a HUGE mistake for mentioning a third-party run with Ron Paul, a man who usually takes an overtly dislike position towards Israel and would allow Iran to continue their nuclear program unchecked. What does that say for a man (BECK) who suppose to be a strong supporter of Israel? Give me a break. I am stopping my GBTV subscription. I had enough of this cookery attitude. Make it easy for yourself. Re-elect Obama and maybe you may get your show back at CNN. Vaya con Dios, amigo!

    If Paul runs as a third party candidate he will only ensure the election of Obama, just as Perot did in the Clinton years. Clinton would never have been elected without Perot running as a third party candidate. We must not lose sight of the fact that the principal thrust must be the defeat of Obama. Else the Republic could be lost.

      Well, regardless of what the Republicans “need,” the Republicans are going to get whoever wins the primary elections (emphasis on elections).

      • And in many states persons from either party can vote for whomever they want in the primaries, so explain how that is an accurate way to pick. You though you would show how smart you believed you are by typing (emphisis on elections) Study the American political system for a few decades and come back and say something intelligent.

          Taylor,

          You just proved my point. Regardless of what Republicans “need,” the primary winner will be determined through the electorate and the delegates.

          Whether or not you agree with, in some states, registered members of all parties voting in Republican primaries is another matter. And since we’re hurling insults, try improving your reading comprehension a bit. I wasn’t defining what the process “should” be. I was defining was it is (and you obviously agree).

  • Anonymous

    Is it about getting rid of Obama? Is it REALLY?
    If it REALLY was, you would go with the one that has a grassroots enthusiasm larger than ANY other candidate in the history of the US! Ron Paul has the youth and the energy behind him to win the general election. No other candidate has anywhere near the passion of the Paul campaign. Let that sink in. Ron Paul gets TWICE the donations from our military than all others COMBINED! Paul polls 10 full points ahead of every other candidate with the independents, the group that determines who wins! Is the Republican party really going to snuff this out? Do they really think Newt Romney will get out the vote of anyone other than the white 60+ year olds? If the Republican party snuffs out the Paul campaign, they WILL LOSE to Obama. They will enter the general with an ethically challenged moderate candidate that has ZERO enthusiasm and skeletons galore, there will be NO spark, and no passion. And it will be the “anti-Pauls” that re-elect Obama. Does Newt Romney have college kids out waving signs for him in freezing weather? They’re DUDS, McCain 2.0! The writing is on the wall and it is crystal clear, nominate Paul and watch the party swell with independents and youth (plus you get REAL cuts, and REAL limited gov.) or live under Obama four more years with regret! If any country threatens us, Congress can declare war and Paul will fight it to win it and come home, there’s nothing wrong with that! Choose NOW and make it count!

    Gingrich has NO leadership ability. Being a College history professor and then a legislator representing a small group of citizens from Georgia (the state that gave us Carter) does not qualify him to lead.

    If it did Ben Franklin would have been President which is who Gingrich reminds me of. Some old guy who talks a lot, appears to have a lot of knowledge but absolutely NO leadership ability.

    At best Newt would be a good Sec. of State.

    If the party ends up with Gingrich you can assuredly know that Obama will be re-elected.

    I shudder at the thought of either one of them.

  • Lisa Hoelscher

    It takes an ignorant fool to believe the mass-media propaganda/mantra, now in full operation: a 3rd party = automatic win for obama.
    Such propaganda is most often based upon the “Perot is the reason long-shot Clinton made it to POTUS”. Fact is, Clinton was, for the most part, an unknown entity, and most definately, was not hated/feared by the predominate majority of those that voted. The comparison works for those that lack the ability to think. Obama/any independent candidate compared to Clinton/Perot is not based in reality. Obama has no chance for re-election without the rigged machines.

  • what kind of news are you reading when you wake up in the morning?! Ron Paul has solid plans for your broken country. Your country is so far gone that the citizens of the United States are fully to blame, for voting these so-called Leaders into the White House, who have done nothing to bring the US out of its hole, rather – take it to war on the other side of the world, run wild with the value of the currency, and bail out Corporations and Banks while millions of your citizens suffer in poverty and hardships.

    When something GOOD comes out of it (RE: Healthcare for all citizens), the ignorant bafoons play it as if its all Socialism. Yet this so-called Socialism works well in many of the westernized worlds with great success. France, UK, Canada – o wait, we must all be Socialsts too.

    Wake up. Give someone who speaks common sense a chance. Ron Paul speaks the truth on many topics, he has never flip-flopped like all these other moronic candidates that are trying to get into the White House. Mr Paul has been the answer for years, yet people like you are so fast to discredit him, because you disagree on ONE OR TWO issues.

      I would never give either of them that much power, very dangerous …

  • “The Congress and the President will shift radically toward expanding the size and scope of the Federal Government. This will satisfy both the liberals and the conservatives.

    Military and police powers will grow, satisfying the conservatives. The welfare state, both domestic and international, will expand, satisfying the liberals. Both sides will endorse military adventurism overseas.

    This is the most important of my predictions: Policy changes could prevent all of the previous predictions from occurring. Unfortunately, that will not occur. In due course, the Constitution will continue to be steadily undermined and the American Republic further weakened.

    During the next decade, the American people will become poorer and less free, while they become more dependent on the government for economic security.

    The war will prove to be divisive, with emotions and hatred growing between the various factions and special interests that drive our policies in the Middle East.

    Agitation from more class warfare will succeed in dividing us domestically, and believe it or not, I expect lobbyists will thrive more than ever during the dangerous period of chaos.

    I have no timetable for these predictions, but just in case, keep them around and look at them in 5 to 10 years. Let us hope and pray that I am wrong on all accounts. If so, I will be very pleased”

    In the past, I’ve enjoyed Glenn Beck, but I will NEVER watch or listen to him again on anything. With this appauling attitude of Beck & others, Obama will be handed another 4 years, and we will NOT be able to come back. Please think about everything that has happened in just 3 yrs of his term. Why does anyone care what religion someone is, whether it’s Mormon, Catholic, etc. ? Does Obama even go to church? (I must have missed it). Does Obama give a rats’ patute about what the people want or think? (I must have missed it) Has he, IN ANY WAY, stood as a leader & you felt a pride in HIM? (Nope – I must have missed it). I don’t want anyone apologizing for me as an American and I don’t want the government in my every day life. I don’t want things shoved down my throat and told that’s the way it’s going to be. Running a 3rd party would be disasterous! Have we lost all ability to see what is exactly is going on here? It’s called “destroying America from within.” Do NOT allow Obama to divide us on the most important election of our lifetime! Remember the old saying “divide & conquer”(the class warfare that is being created by Obama). I ran across something else today: “There are 2 ways to conquer & enslave a nation. One is by the sword, the other is by debt.” (John Adams) We’ve got both. We must unite, regardless of the nomination figure!

    Did anyone hear that Gingrich’s own sister won’t vote for him? It’s a true story look it up. So if you include all the ex wives and girlfriends as references this guy couldn’t get a job at starbucks. I was happy to see that Ron Paul hasn’t brought up any of these personal issues and has used Gingrich’s own words to skewer him instead. There’s enough cannon fodder there without slinging mud and Paul proves again he’s a class act. People need to wake the heck up before it’s too late and vote honesty into Government. That alone is worth more than all the phony promises and phony “plans” of the corrupt insider Democrats and Republicans.

          Since I am so dumb, maybe some other Ron Paul supporter will clear things up about the Ron Paul Newsletters and Ron Paul embracing the truthers. But thanks for playing along.

          • It’s not that complicated. Somebody saw the threat Ron Paul was to the establishment/war machine and created a news letter that would make him look bad.
            If RP personally sold subscriptions, I guess that’d be something, but is there evidence of that? Please don’t be so easily misled and propagandized.

            Regards to the truthers, some people still insist that a magic bullet killed JFK but that don’t make it so. Any intelligent person, taking a casual or close examination of the Pentagon can deduce that no plane hit it. There was no wreckage. No wing scars on the building and the hole was way too small for a plane of that size. There is no proof, but there are enough legit questions to make the whole thing seem shady. And then, you look at the way they prosecuted the war and it gets really shady.

            The fact is it is too controversial. He is in it to win, not to convince people like you there was a conspiracy.

    A third party candidate will assure Obama’s re-election. Perry is the only Conservative, small government, TEA party supporting candidate left with the finances to win the nomination. His debate performance was excellent on saturday night, as was his Fox news interview Sunday. he is beginning to rise in the polls in Iowa again. Forget the third party. I would suggest that those who are unhappy with Newt take a second look at Perry. I think Ron Paul would make a great Chairman of the Federal reserve in the Perry administration. Paul’s financial bona fides are acceptable, his foreign policy scares me.

They become so sure that what they say is right, that you are a fool not to listen to them, and come to believe they are “The Power” to influence everyone. Plus, Beck seems to come across as someone who won’t listen to criticism because they cannot believe they could be wrong. His comment that he would vote for Ron Paul and a third party shows how unrealistic he is about national politics. It is a shame, too.

    Oh please Glenn! You have always been the one who unabashedly promotes Christian values at every opportunity. At the very heart of Christian theology is reconciliation and forgiveness. Newt has admitted past personal failures and has asked for and received absolution from Almighty God. On the political front Newt has always promoted conservative causes, sometimes with a twist which does not always sit right even with conservatives such as myself (The Paul Ryan faux pas was one such example) However he is still far more conservative than Mitt and is the only one of the candidates, in my view who will absolutely obliterate Obama in any old fashioned face off. The idea, I presumed, was to defeat ‘Rosemary’s Baby” and rid ourselves forever of his destructive regime. To even hint that you would support Ron Paul as a third party candidate over Gingrich is folly beyond my wildest imagination. No, beyond folly it is absurdly stupid. That, my friend, you who have wielded so much influence with so many voters would absolutely insure for more years of Obama, perhaps more . . . And that outcome Glenn would achieve exactly what you have been warning us about . . . The destruction of America. Wise up!

His soaring rhetoric that will “seduce even the elect, if that were possible.” (Mark 13:22) His meteoric rise to prominence like a bolt of lightning. Even his time of birth comports with most end time prognosticators. His unprecedented Herod-like desire to destroy the innocents in the womb. His shameless promotion of the normalizing of perversion so that it be recognized on par with man/woman marriage. I could go on and on, but you get the picture. Glenn Beck who has had my ear and my attention for three years has lost me on this. All of his past pronouncements which I have taken to the bank, I now call into question because of his unbelievable silly pronouncement on a third party candidate.

            You speak God’s truth Reggie: Now it appears that Glenn is doubling down. He is all in, as are so many other conservative voices in an obvious effort to destroy Gingrich’s candidacy. What are they afraid of? Is it that Newt has espoused the Christian message of forgiveness (the long time illegals), or his alleged sympathy for a long ago president for whom Beck in particular has a personal animus, or his long ago efforts to compromise on various issues with the detestable Bill Clinton? Why are all these strident voices doing Obama’s work for him? It’s one thing to support one’s favorite, but it’s entirely another subject to throw such reckless and destructive political bombs at a candidate who espouses much of what we all believe in. It’s been said elsewhere in these blogs that perhaps Newt isin’t the perfect candidate and I would agree, but in my view, he’s the best we got. He’s got the fortitude and the intelligence in a combination I’ve never witnessed in any other Republican in my life time. In my view, he would take “Rosemary’s Baby” to task and demolish him and his agenda in any head to head campaign. Again, thanks for your response. Apparently we have our great faith in common.

              Hi Richard, Thats my take on Newt and this fierce divisive opposition coming from our own camp. I remember Glen Beck saying he woke up in a pool of vomit as a suicidal drunk. God forgave him. We who love God and our country forgave him and rejoiced in his success. This is no time for discord in the camp. Newt said God also forgave him. Who am i or Glen Beck to judge him unforgiven. The Word of God is full of imperfect fallen men, that God chose and called to lead in the fight against forces of darkness. Our nation is covered by an ominous dark shadow. We need a fighter like Sampson (who had lady issues) or Gideon (who had insecurity and fear) to bring deliverance. I likewise believe Newt is that fighter. This is no time for a moderate liberal accepted republican, as Bush 1 & Shrub2. I have 8 grandchildren and i pray God to deliver us from the weak middle of the road lukewarm moderates, for the sake of our nation’s future. Nothing in the middle of the road but dead skunks and yellow stripes. — agape –reggie —

    Just for the fun of it I looked up the following terms: 1) Ron Paul newsletters and 2) Ron Paul and truthers……

    It isn’t pretty.

    • 1)Weak. God this is so annoying. The only credible article was from CNN which states clearly they don’t know who wrote that stuff and that RP insists he has no idea.

      2)Links to blogs. Blogs saying things about Ron Paul. Not things Ron Paul himself said.
      Blogs are to news what the Kardashians are to fine art.

  • So how about we all just make sure Ron Paul is the Republican nominee so that it’s a moot point?

    Hey Glenn Your Fox friends abandoned you. Now you want to hand the election to Obama with a third party candidate. You Sir could never and now for sure can be trusted. You are just another opportunist. Please don’t try to draw a distinction between you and the rest. We get you.

  • labillyboy

    I view Ron Paul as a far out kook… his isolationist foreign policy pronouncements disqualify him for the Presidency. Statements like Iran should be able to have nuclear weapons, I would discontinue all foreign aid, I would close all our foreign military bases, and on and on… are just pure craziness. He is the only candidate that would cause me to vote for Obama against him.

    Other than Dr. Kook, I will vote for any of the other Republicans seeking the nomination. None of them are my first choice, but they are all preferable to the current occupant of 1600 Pennsylvania Ave.

    Should Dr. K run on a third party ticket, he would be putting Obama in the White House on his own nutty agenda.

    I personally would love to see Obama sans teleprompter get his a$$ handed to him by Newt in the debates. I don’t think Romney or any of the others would do so well.

    Obama has a better than even chance of winning in November, the Democrats don’t play by the rules and will have boatloads of cash with which to conduct their mischief…

    Is it about getting rid of Obama? Is it REALLY?
    If it REALLY was, you would go with the one that has a grassroots enthusiasm larger than ANY other candidate in the history of the US! Ron Paul has the youth and the energy behind him to win the general election. No other candidate has anywhere near the passion of the Paul campaign. Let that sink in. Ron Paul gets TWICE the donations from our military than all others COMBINED! Paul polls 10 full points ahead of every other candidate with the independents, the group that determines who wins! Is the Republican party really going to snuff this out? Do they really think Newt Romney will get out the vote of anyone other than the white 60+ year olds? If the Republican party snuffs out the Paul campaign, they WILL LOSE to Obama. They will enter the general with an ethically challenged moderate candidate that has ZERO enthusiasm and skeletons galore, there will be NO spark, and no passion. And it will be the “anti-Pauls” that re-elect Obama. Does Newt Romney have college kids out waving signs for him in freezing weather? They’re DUDS, McCain 2.0! The writing is on the wall and it is crystal clear, nominate Paul and watch the party swell with independents and youth (plus you get REAL cuts, and REAL limited gov.) or live under Obama four more years with regret! If any country threatens us, Congress can declare war and Paul will fight it to win it and come home, there’s nothing wrong with that! Choose NOW and make it count!

      Sorry, but you are wrong. I am an independent. And want to comment on Paul and his isolationist view of the world.

      My Mom was born in Japan during WWII, My Grandfather whom I met was a slave laborer. She saw Nagasaki Nuclear Explosian, as her village was firebombed. Her family survived and returned to Korea. I sat on her farm land with my Grandmother looking out over the Sea of Pusan. As she told stories of the Korean War. A war my mother does not like to speak of.

      My mother recounts a story of her Uncle who fled his village after being beaten for being a school teacher for the government. She rememembers her mother feeding him through a straw, in a hole. If he had been found by the communists soldiers, she says, ‘god only knows what would have happened.’.

      Before you, Waldetto, say that this man’s vision of the world and Americas roll in it is the right one, Ask what would our world right now be if we stood on the sidelines.

      Human Rights exists because we exist. Remember the fights for The Equal Rights Amendment, Martin Luther King and his fight for equality, Suffragetes (in Saudi Arabia women can’t drive!), Our roll in Bosnia and Kosovo. Our role in Korea.

      • The things you say we should be doing, liberating the world, will not be possible when we are bankrupt. America is under assault from within. The real terrorists wear suits and package loans to poor people into mal-investments that spread a financial cancer global.
        The economic collapse was engineered by evil men who plan a genocidal war based on the theory of global warming and wealth hoarding.

        And I don’t get your point about Nagasaki getting nuked. Was that a positive or a negative? I also know Koreans who suffered during their war, which was really the U.S. and China using Korea as a proxy battlefield. I don’t think the Koreans liked what happened to their country.

    I never thought I would like Newt. And find that I have come to dislike Beck.

    In all the bickering since the collapse of Lehman, Bear Sterns, lifeline-AIG, the hidden and not fully disclosed issues with Freddy and Fanny which triggered and continue the initial financial collapse , and the ascendency of Obama because Republicans went to the safest candidate ( Romney V Obama 4 years ago instead of McCain, we might have Romney. If Clinton pushed back at the racism charges in the South but chose softball, it could be Clinton now. )

    Instead, our country rolled the dice. Remember that Nobel Priz for p e a c e . not d i v i s i o n .

    What I like about Newt, is he is a person who has made a lot of mistakes and talks openly about his failings, even though he is a confidant, sometimes arrogant, but he is a direct Person. I think we all know the answers to many of our issues and they lie in the that ever important place where both sides come together to find solutions. Obama was hired in the end because he spoke of this vision that was Reagan. Or even FDR, Truman. Lincoln. He was going to bring us together and cut through the BS.

    Instead, the extremes become more extreme.

    Including our President. Have you every listened and watch a President so angry and clinical in his approach. hope and change. It is his cutting language which ends discussion or elevates the heat. Divider, not Healer. I am and Americans should be so tired of this. The extremes of both sides have lost touch with what makes the American society great: We speak to each other. Not Scream. We find solutions. We work hard not to get food stamps.

    Newt, I never imagined I would even consider him, but hearing him speak in debates and handling the interviews, his straight talk, not left or right at times, is refreshing. Becks words are salty. Pelosi’s words offensive. Obama, I have turned off. I can’t listen to another press conference sans the tele prompter, where he rails instead of discusses the issues of the day.

    I never thought I would like Newt. I do know, that I will not roll the dice this time.

    While every candidate has their baggage, I need for some Ron Paul supporters to help me explain away the Ron Paul newsletters he published with what is widely perceived as racists points of view? And how do I explain Ron Paul’s willingness to embrace the truthers?

        What does that response have to do with the newsletters Ron Paul was publishing in the 1990s and with Ron Paul embracing the “truthers”. Your response sounds alot like Mr. Obama’s explanaition of attending the church of Jeremiah Wright and his willingness to befriend Bill Ayers.

        • The fact is, 9-11 was a fraud. There was no airplane that hit the Pentagon and if you but look at the evidence, it is pretty obvious.
          That being said,we have all sort of moved on from that. It happened. Somebody blew up the towers and we embarked on wars of conquest. The question now is how do we get our country back?

          Do you really believe that it never occurred to the terrorist to come up through Mexico? The open border proves the fraud of the war on terror.

            I hope all of you out there that are still undecided as to who you would vote for, are reading some of these posts.

            These are a percentage of the people that support Ron Paul and this is why a lot of people don’t and never will. ( But does make for good entertainment. )

            Keep posting Ron-ulans, your words speak for themselves …

            • Anonymous

              As the person who wrote the original post in this line I was wondering what responses I would get. You are very right in your evaluation.

              Of all the responses I received one was reasonable, (The Kingfish) recognized the problems with the two issues I brought up, and knows Mr. Paul needs to deal with those issues.

              I like Mr. Paul when it comes to addressing problems with the fed and the US government involvement with banking. But to me he is still the strange uncle in the attic. His supporters do not “help” make Mr. Paul look more electable.

    • It is known in inner circles that someone other than Ron Paul himself wrote those passages in the newsletter bearing his name, and that he did not even see everything prior to publication. Yes, he should have done so and not let that kind of stuff go out. The Rockwell-Rothbard brain trust at the Mises Institute produced and OK’d much of the material that went in the newsletters. Whether it was Lew Rockwell himself is still not clear, but he was not the only one involved and will not comment on it (I wish he would so we could move on). Among libertarian Paul supporters at the time, this was very controversial and we certainly voiced that flirting with the hard-right (Buchanan, Chronicles mag etc) and getting involved in the culture wars was not a good strategy. Thank goodness they gradually came away from that. I wouldn’t say Paul embraces truthers, but he probably does not do enough to point out their folly. He has stated publicly several times that he does not endorse the assertion the the US gov did it, though.

      • Anonymous

        I have to say of all the responses I received from the Ron Paul supporters, your’s was the the most reasonable. ( to be honest the only one which was reasonable) Most of the other responses have reminded me of the people who blindly supported Mr. Obama.

        While Mr. Paul is far from my first choice, (My first choice is not polling so well) and at this time he is not who I would vote for in a primary, I would support Mr. Paul if he does win the Republican nomination. If my first choice does not win the election I will support the man or woman who does emerge as the republican nominee. Obama has to go.

        Mr. Paul’s problems with the racists views expressed in the Ron Paul news letters, have largely been glossed over because most people and especially the media of all sorts do not consider Mr Paul a serious candidate. Sort of like Mr. Kucinich has been for democrats. Now that Mr. Paul’s polling numbers have increased he is going to draw more scrutiny. I don’t know how Mr. Paul can explain away the views published in his newsletters. It isn’t my fault will not go to far.

        And well my comment did attract several “truthers”. I learned long time ago not to invest my time dealing with “truthers”. Mr. Paul’s embracing the “truthers” will repel more average citizens than they will attract.

        If Mr. Paul does go third party then he will either have to win the election ( a very, very, very very long shot) or be blamed for having Obama win re-election. Additionally if Mr. Paul goes third party and loses, and Obama wins, I feel Ron Paul will probably seriously damage the promising future of his son Rand Paul. While I still view Mr. Paul who is the crazy uncle in the attic, ( I do appreciate his views on the Fed and banking issues) I don’t think Ron Paul will choose the path of a third party because what happens if he loses.

        I hope you have a great day.

    • It’s like the one guy at the debate who yelled ” let him die”
      It’s fake. A plant. A phony designed to scare people. If I made a magazine that said Obama wanted to kill whitey, should that discredit Obama?

  • Attention GOP: Nominate Ron Paul or DON’T COUNT ON OUR VOTES.

  • Glad to hear Glenn Beck has come to his senses, and realizes that Newt is nothing but a clone of Obama – and an establishment candidate peddled by the same dual-headed monster : Big bankers + Military Industrial Complex. Same with Romney.

    Choosing for one among Obama, Romney, Gingrich is like choosing among Visa, Mastercard, American Express. Keeping the status-quo.

    Why would anyone want to vote for a Conservative Progressive? If you want Progressivism, the Democrats do it so much better! That is the real suicide wish!

    A choice between a Conservative Progressive and a Liberal Progressive isn’t much of a choice. Richard Nixon was also a Conservative Progressive. Watergate was nothing compared to what he did to the Dollar! He also gave us the EPA.

    If the Republican Party goes Progressive, it will have left me and I will remind people that Abe Lincoln led a 3rd Party to the White House.

    Seriously, where are Newts supporters? I see Ron Paul supporters everywhere but only see a few people supporting the bandwagon flavor of the week/month candidate. Newt is being propped up by the media to ensure a victory for Obama. If people are dumb enough to support Newt based on his “electability” portrayed by the biased media or how good of a debater he is over substance, then our country is asking for another Obama with an (R) next to his name. Look at where that got us.

    The only real person worth voting for in this race that will provide real change is Dr Ron Paul. He has my vote as a 3rd Party candidate as well.

    –I’ve made my position clear about Newt. He’s not my guy– .. So if he isn’t the majorities guy.. who is behind his rise?!!?

    I am sorry but when Ramussen claims newt is up there and mitt next with NO mention of Dr. Paul.. I am seeing the serfs being fed a big fat lie..
    Newt or Romney are both not what we have all been looking to get into our house and get our country back.. They are more lip service stating only what they think you want to hear..

    Dr. Paul states with total honesty the truth about what needs to be done..
    The truth is we are in bad shape and the scam has to end.. he can do it ..

    You don’t need a third party not in this day.. simply right in YOUR candidate.. No-one has to settle for who others by design PICK for you.

    Newt is Nafta and corruption et al.. Dr Paul is truth and honesty and refers to the constitution not his lobbyist, not his campaign contributors..

    The reasons why not to vote for Newt

    Voted for Gatt and NAFTA, bringing many of the US Manufacturing jobs overseas to China..
    Voted to make China most favored nation for trade in the 90’s
    Was the one who came up with the Mandate for Health Care in the 90’s
    Is not for reducing size of Government, just listen to the government programs he would like to create.

    These are just a few, I would suggest to read his history and voting record.

    I am voting Ron Paul, he is the true tea party cadidate, I may disagree with some of his policies, but on the domestic front, Ron paul is head on right and is the only one who wants to shrink government to it’s Constitutional Level. Also we must remember that Congress has the enumerated power to make laws, and to spend money, not the executive branch, thus it is imperative that tea party candidates win the Senate, and House, replacing the Dems and Republican Establishment cadidates such as McCain.

    Thanks, Right Scoop, for posting this clip. Newt Gingrich’s run is soon to be over. He doesn’t have “just skeletons in his closet, he’s got a whole graveyard in there.”, to quote the most recent ad opposing him. Please see the following for a true but disturbing rendering of Mr. Gingrich’s record.

    Concerning the supposed suicide Glenn Beck and others would be committing if they voted for a 3rd party candidate in Ron Paul, that is an irrational statement. I, for one, am looking for integrity – it is the only, let me repeat, only important issue in this election cycle. Until we have integrity in our government again, it doesn’t matter how much you support someone’s ideas. They are meaningless. Rick Santorum told the world Saturday night that he learned everything he knows about being a conservative from Newt! Good grief. Integrity, folks, integrity.

    Beck had a call in talker soon after his Newt interview. The guy made it clear he was a BIG Beck fan – had been to his shows, owned his books, subscribed to his network. But he voiced disappointment in Beck’s treatment of Newt and how Beck was derisively winking to his co-workers on air. Beck didnt’ wink once. But the callers point was Beck seemed to have a “whatever” sort of smirking attitude to Gingrich’s longer answers. But because Beck didn’t “wink”as the caller stated, Beck went on to deride the caller as disingenuous and dissembling. In short he treated this fan like crap. Not that I needed more to prove Beck is a bit of a poof. But his rude and condescending treatment of an earnest fan for a slight embellishment showed me that he’s not merely a poof. He’s a bit of a prick. An overly sensitive, conspiratorial prick at that.

    Vote Rick Santorum or for Michelle Bachman. Ron Paul’s foreign policy sucks. His domestic policy is great. I’d vote for any of the GOP candidates over Obama.

    • I like Ron Paul’s foreign policy. He had the courage to point out what a farce the Iraq invasion was – and conservatives such as George Will, William F. Buckley and Milton Friedman agreed that going into Iraq was wrong. No one has ever been able to justify US casualties in Iraq. Why the hell are we there again? Saddam, the monster that he was, provided a buffer against Iran and was no friend to Islamists (particularly the nasty Salafists from Saudi and other Gulf states). He was effectively contained without risking any American lives.

      • JH

        Ron Paul doesn’t seem to believe that we are hated and that there are forces out there that want to destroy us. He would turn America into a lamb. We need to be the strongest military force, not to wage war, but to make other countries afraid to attack us. Reducing our military at a time that we are facing increasing threats is just plain stupid. I would rather face our enemies in their country instead of ours.

        • We could reduce our military spending by 75% and still spend three times the closest possible adversary. Our technology is unmatched and no other country presents a serious military threat. They know that we have the drones, the subs, the nukes and the planes. Those things will not go away under Ron Paul. If anything we will become smarter and stronger and have a military that respects the cic.

          • JH

            The French believed the Maginot line was the ultimate defense. They were wrong and so are you. We cannot afford to let our defences down when we have so many enemies. They have already gotten our secrets from the drone they captured in Iran.
            We need our military personnel to be very will trained, which costs money, for they to be the very best. Plus we need to make sure our military is the best equipped.

    • I’ll give my short reply to Ron’s foreign policy…
      As much as RP scares people with his belief in the need to pull back all forces world wide since Vietnam, I have been a staunch believer in if you commit troops, you do it to win and then reap the spoils. If the ation isn’t willing to do that then don’t waste one life on world social engineering. I believe in total, vicious, dirty and horribly bloody war that is fought to WIN. Service members are dying as this is written and for what? We’re going to walk away in the near future and have gained WHAT? Newt and Mitt are a part of that elite

      • Hear, hear. That is precisely the concern my whole family had with the Iraq and now Afghanistan war and to go back further, Vietnam and Korea. You don’t go to war to play in a sandbox. General Schwarzkopf knew how to fight a war and finish it. Now the politicians rather than the trained military dictate the wars, and of course their own children don’t have to do their fair share in fighting the enemy.

    • People who say that are almost always repeating something they heard somebody else say.
      I have yet to have one person explain in a ration manner what exactly is crazy about his foreign policy.
      I invite you, please be the first.

    Today there is democracy (the US is a Republic, not a pure Democracy) in Iraq. Mission accomplished, for today. Trillion$ of US taxpayer dollars used to accomplish this (I shouldn’t have to mention human lives, should I) –Priceless. Did anyone hear that the US is BROKE. Do we still think that throwing trillions at spreading world-wide democracy is fiscally sound. Should we keep putting this on our credit card, chasing super-scary-bearded bogeymen through caves in the Mid-East. I am well armed and never lose sleep over terrorists. We are all more likely to die of a honeybee sting than terrorists, and I don’t worry about bee stings either. I’ll never vote to throw trillion$ at bees. What happened to the fearless Spirit that forged True Freedom in this country? “Oh please big govt, put your hands in our pants to keep us safe from terrorists. Strip and mollest our children and the elderly. . . to keep us safe. But keep our southern border wide open through Bushnbama.” Haha. We love it. It’s not tyranny, though it follows all the same rules of tyranny throughout history. Forget–braaap–history. This is the New Freedoom. Fast and Furious, translated into made-in-China American: govt runs the drugs, trades guns for drugs, reaps big $$$, just like having US marines grow opium for their masters in Afghanistan. Big $$$. So soak up the lies of all these pro-wrestlers as much as you like. The Truth stands all on it’s own and requires no defense.

      As much as I disliked McCain (and still do) on a number of issues, I think in retrospect that he would have been at least marginally better than Obama.

      What’s your take on that theory?

        You would have only been mad at Mccain on 2-3 issues instead of everything the little socialist in the Whitehouse touches!

      Sorry but Paul is wrong on foreign policy and that overshadows his good ideals on other subjects.

    Romney is the white Obama. Gingrich is a globalist…. brought us NAFTA/GATT… supports illegal immigration/border dissolution.

    It’s just more of the same… RNC ramming crap down our throats. THEY’RE the ones who split the vote.

    Speaking of unethical, how about those 85 ethics violations by Newt? Any “historian” can tell you, they’re not over! Anyone notice he leaked his own attack on Mitt while pretending he’s on defense? DIShonest. DISastrous. Newt.

    Beck and Savage are really starting to make Newt look reasonable. I used to like both and now can’t stand either of them! Their extreme postions make most conservatives look very reasonable.

    • You must not have read Savage’s website today. He offers a million dollars to Newt for him to get out of the race. Savage strongly states that Newt cannot win against Obama. So you are wrong. Beck has been off my radar for some time now. He turns out to be a huge disappointment.

      • And you set your political thermostat by what Savage tells you?

  • All a third party does is split a close vote and insure the radical Obama continues destroying this country. He hasn’t far to go if you haven’t noticed. I was under the impression the tea party wanted anyone but Obama but I’m starting to have a few concerns about exactly where the tea party stands. If you care to answer this you can find me on freedom connector. For now.

    One of the greatest reliefs of 2013 will be the retirement of Ron Paul from the political stage of this great Republic. He is our Al Sharpton. Provocative and entertaining if you’re interested but any man who believes that we killed our own citizens to start a war is beneath contempt. He was funnier when he was a Libertarian.

    • He has distanced himself from the 9-11 truth movement. He is basically saying that the government exploited the event to increase its size and scope and liberty suffered. What’s the quote from Obabms dude ” let no crisis go to waste…”
      They lied about yellow cake, about being welcomed as liberators, about them paying for their own liberation and after looking at the evidence, no plane hit the pentagon and you’d have to be dumb to think so. THERE IS NO EVIDENCE.

        The problem is the Muslim Psyche when it comes to thanking their Liberators. It is a honor society and they dishonored themselves by submitting to Saddam for so long. They loathe to admit weakness.

        The comment about a plane not hitting the Pentagon is simply mental defective talk.

    • Raymond Story

      He’s never said that. Ron Paul has not blamed the US for the attack.

      He has explained Al Qaeda’s rationale – as per the 9/11 Commission’s findings.

      The 9/11 Commission Report on pages 47-52 explains Al Qaeda/Bin Laden’s rationale for attacking the US. see http://www.9-11commission.gov/report/

        Yes he did but modified it to appear less insane. There was no preemptive war. The first Gulf War was an international coalition comprise of Muslim and Western powers to remove an Iraqi invasion of Kuwait. Throughout the 1990’s, Iraq violated the terms of the cease fire throughout 1990’s while it broke the Arms embargo and corrupted the UN with the food for oil program. The second Gulf War was for the repeated violation of the Cease Fire treaty.

        Al Qaeda and its founding organization the Muslim Brotherhood is committed to re-establishing the Islamic Caliphate after its founder lived in the United States in 1940’s.

      & instead you’d rather have a corrupt, out of control establishment which has shown in broad day light that to NOT be in the American peoples best interests but for their globalist masters. it isn’t a coincidence when their plans are found or given to outside sources that they come to fruition, it is historical fact that the CFR has infiltrated all branches of government & intend to destroy our sovereignty. I highly recommend Propaganda is a 1928 book by Edward Bernays, Tragedy and Hope” by Dr. Carroll Quigley, & Psychological Warfare & the New World Order by Servando Gonzalez. Ron Paul is our chance to start destroying the monster they have created.

  • Romney pushed Romney care and the big bailouts, Perry pushed NAFTA North American Super Highway and forced vaccinations, Gingrich is a New World Order globalist and was a Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae lobbyist. Everyone of them will expand government. Look at what they do, not what they say. The only one that has talked straight to the American people is Ron Paul. Please vote for Ron Paul.

    • Please-RP is NOT an anti-Semite-stop repeating talking points that are just not true!

  • We often here that I like Ron Paul except for his foreign policy. But our foreign policy has been a failure unless you consider having Muslim theocracies taking over the countries we have gone to war with a success. Please consider Ron Paul, the only candidate that will shrink government.

    • I was born and raised in Switzerland and Ron Paul’s foreign policy suits me just fine. Since I have been a voter, I have disagreed with every president’s foreign policy. Call me an isolationist, I don’t care. This country has no business interfering around the world, unless it is directly being threatened from outside. Agression is unacceptable, self-defense is acceptable.

      • Ron Paul is more non-interventionist, in my view. Isolation is probably never going to happen again, since the economies are too intertwined.

Many people voted for “Hope and Change” and all they got was continuation of the same elitist policies as the several previous administrations.

So, if you want to ensure that Barak is ousted, I suggest you use your head and the process of elimination. Because there is no way “WE” are voting for anyone but the name that was not mentioned.

  • This is crap. Newt is NOT big government; he’s responsible government. You’ve all paid into your entitlement programs and no one, I mean no one, is gonna say I’ll take nothing.

  • I believe we have to have a back up plan folks. How are we expected to believe that voting is going to change the direction of this corrupt and tyrannical leviathan, that you and I created in this Federal government?

    I am thinking Ann Barnhardt had an epiphany awhile back. How can we as conservatives, libertarians, Christians, etc continue to allow our labor to foment and support such vile and abhorrent actions, in our opinions? The Constitution was not created to limit our freedoms, our beliefs, our rights, it was created to limit the federal government and allow the 50 differing states to create their own systems. So that those that worked well would attract more people and those that did not withered. We have that occurring right now in states like Illinois, New York, California where people are fleeing in droves and going to freer states. The federal government does not like that, that is why you have the redistribution models that the communists…..erm Democrats to make things “fair”.

    I believe it is time to have a multi faceted plan. Not just the voting booth. The Democrats have taken over the media in most part. They have taken over the schools in most part. They have taken over the public jobs in most part.

    How are we, the private individuals and the taxpayer going to continue to fight that?

    I myself saw something the other day, Who is John Galt?

  • that’s what the obamaites are about – lies and distorting the truth about someone’s character. As if Obama could survive close scutiny….at least the media will NEVER expose him, the fu**ing Assh*Le

  • You know who’s worse than Newt? Romney! This guy has changed his mind on every issue several times and will say whatever he needs to to get elected. Romney supported abortion on demand until he decided he wanted to run for President, so he “suddenly” had a change of heart which no one with an iq higher than their belt size really believes. He claims to be against homosexual marriage, but Massachusetts became the first state to allow homosexual marriage by his executive order. He opposes Obamacare and yet he gave Massachusetts Romneycare, which Obama based (stole) his plan on. Cain was my choice, even with all the so-called accusations against him (none of which were proven). My current favorite out of those currently running is Bachmann, though I admit it’s highly unlikely she’ll make it. And that’s a shame, because she’s the Tea Party favorite, and if Newt or Romney get the nod many of the Tea Party members will revolt and go third party (if it’s Romney I definitely will), possibly even starting their own party. And if that happens we’ll be stuck with 4 more years of the Obamanation and he’ll be able to finish his complete destruction of the America I was born into.

Walking onto a stage and telling everyone he has learned from his mistakes and he now has the character to lead this country. Showing off his trophy wife until she is terminal. Fifty years ago he wouldn’t dare show his face outside his house for less than a tenth of the crap he’s pulled. Yet there are those that want to kiss his ***

  • These days both corrupt major political parties have their brain dead 40+ percent that will vote for whomever is on the Presidential ticket. Who are you. The challenge is to entice the undecided to vote for your candidate. This is why Obummer recently said he wasn’t worried who was on the Republican ticket. Most freethinking persons of intellect will not vote for Mitt or Newt because after being burned all these years by the status quo they are fed up. I have to agree Newt may get the nod but many women and a lot of principled people will refuse to hold their noses and vote for Newt. Ergo Obummer gets another four and we can rebuild the country from the ash heap of history.

    I’m sorry, but our government is beyond morbidly obese government, and you’re basically giving us the choice between Obama being an cheese diet or Gingrich as an all cake batter diet. I’m not going to waste my time actually calculating which one has less calories, I live in reality and accept we’re not fixing anything with either candidate.

    Ron Paul is the only proper diet and exercise out there, and it doesn’t matter if he runs 10th party- I’m not voting for cheese or cake batter and I’m not listening to some moronic rationale justifying either.

    No way. Republican better get the right guy to complete with OB. If the republican candidate is as bad as OB, then either I vote for others (anyone non republican) or not to vote at all. Two wrong wont make it right. There won’t be any compromise here.

  • He hasn’t always been, but Beck has become a fool. It’s true that Gingrich has issues, but casting a vote to put Obama back in office (which a vote for a third party candidate is) is glaringly stupid. Don’t get me wrong. I have voted for third party candidates in the past; in the fairly recent past, in fact. I wrote in Ron Paul when McCain ran. But the stakes have never been as high as they are now. The time for playing games by “sending a message” are over. There is still a chance to turn our nation around with a political solution, but if Obama gets back into office the political option will be gone. Beck is so all over the board. If he is as concerned about our nation as he says he is – if he so concerned about violence and upheaval (sometimes concern to the point of tears on camera) and if those concerns are more than just show, then he needs to put his inflated ego aside for a moment and think about what he’s saying. If too many people agree with this and thereby put the utopian Marxist alinsky radical in the white house for another four years, then we will be that much closer to anarchy. This kind of backwards rhetoric is precisely what Obama wants. He needs only to sit back and watch while so-called conservatives dismantle America for him. Obama must go and *that* is what we need to focus on.

    • I agree with you and I too have voted Ron Paul at least four times in the past as write-ins. Glenn Beck isn’t worried about another Obama term as it will give him fodder for future shows and drama. Moreover, he is so rich that he can pull up stakes and leave the country more easily than most of us. Switzerland would be a perfect place for the Beck family. The Mormon church has become quite prominent there, the schools are still good and the private schools are unbeatable in excellence. Switzerland is not an EU member. Beck did a great job while on Fox cable, but since he left I no longer follow him. Like every celebrity eventually does he is burning out.

  • I am so done with Beck! &%”!!#!!! First we are racist to support Newt, then he half endorses an isolationist nut like Ron Paul! He has lost any credibility with me. I would at least respect his position on Newt if he would just stick to rational arguments. With the racist meme and the Ron Paul third party crap, he is simply trying to harass or “NUDGE” his “former” audience into voting for his Mormon comrade Romney. Beck can tolerate his policies because at least they worship the same type of God. Why can’t I make this connection?? Obviously he can draw odd conclusions about why I would vote for Gingrich. He has lost the intellectual debate and now he is desperately launching all missiles in all directions. Does not the genius Beck know that 80% of conservatives feel the same way about Paul as he does about Gingrich? Over 70% do not want Romney as the nominee!! Get it through your thick head Beck! What a goober. Beck must have other motivations. Maybe he is just trying to get ratings and to be in the news again. What is that crap about that he refuses to comment on Hunstman cuz he is friends with his daddy!?!? Beck is sure covering for at least 2 in this race while going ape sh_t over Gingrich. I am so done with Beck!

    Of all people I would not have suspected that Glenn Beck, a reformed man himself, as he says, will not give another reformed man, Newt Gingrich, the second chance that Beck himself got. If that isn’t hypocrisy, then I don’t know what is. And I really admire what Beck has done for the country. Did you miss Newt tell the Attorneys General that his favorite Founder is George Washington? SO where did the Teddy Roosevelt favorite status come from? I find it difficult to listen to GB anymore after his rant against Newt. He’s starting to sound paranoid and delusional, and by the way, I’ve never heard or seen Newt behave like Beck did. Get a grip Glenn.

    • It is just that Glenn Beck can see the hypocrisy in Newter.

    what you guys fail to understand is there weren’t that many republicans to start with in the first place.. gop never quite recovered from the blow they suffered from bush’s failed presidency which even some ‘republicans in name only’ would agree–if so, how would you think then the independents might feel? while you guys are whining about a 3rd party run, you have to realize that many independents joined the republican party in the first place because of paul whom you are now bashing for lack of loyalty.

    many people, including myself, became interested in politics for the first time in 07 because of paul and the financial crisis. we were totally new to the political arena and the rhetoric of both parties. since then, all we have received had been nothing but venom from you ‘republicans in name only’ who all of a sudden became enlightened to what a small government really means the past two years. the comedic rate of overturn in your ideas on just what a big government means is as ridiculous as someone changing his religion once every year, like some kind of born-born-born again christian.. but besides your embarrassing display of self that makes others hesitant to vow loyalty in the first place, many of us hadn’t even thought about what to do after paul, because we were never even involved in politics before paul.. to speak as if there were some sort of loyalty owed to the party to begin with is ridiculous..

    in fact after paul dropped out in 08, some of his supporters refused to vote, some voted for green party, constitutional party, libertarian party–you name it, and some voted for obama. i’m not gonna speculate how much of it was responsible for mccain’s failure and i’m not retrospectively voicing support for paul on the vice president ticket in 08, but sarah palin? how stupid do you guys have to be, really? if you want to blame, blame bush. you just simply never recovered from the loss of independents from that round of massive failure.. to speak as if the world owes you some kind of loyalty is sickening.. has the entitlement attitude become so prevalent?

    and look at the likes of lindsey graham who have been viciously attacking paul supporters since they were around 5% and as his supporters double and triple, turning around and softening attitude and ask with this half-begging attitude ‘well i hope the paul supporters in the end come around and help us win this fight’ in the softest tone i have ever seen him speak, fucking sickening.. PROVE that you deserve loyalty.. start by stopping unsightly attacks on paul supporters by your republican-in-name-only peers and your popular radio hosts like mark levin, or of course as the alternative, refuse to do that. many of you are already hateful to the bone anyway. you keep this up and alienate your ‘fellow’ supporters, see what happens. right, while we’re at it, have your favorite fox allies ask again ‘is ron paul really electable’, right, after he loses, i think every paul supporter will just automatically see the establishment as their friend, bend over and support whomever the establishment thrusts down throat.

      Where were you during the 2010 mid-term elections ? …

    • Luthien Ivey

      Well, when you’re talking about Miss Lindsay, our southern belle senator from SC, you have to consider the source. He’s attacked me via various issues multiple times, e.g., amnesty for illegals; right now, he’s “cya-ing” for 2012, hoping to ride to re-election on somebody’s coattails. The more people who refuse to vote the straight Republican ticket (in his state), the fewer votes that will be cast for him. As always, Graham is simply looking out for Graham – I’m shocked, I tell you, shocked.

      Here’s my deal with my friends who are Ron Paul supporters: we will argue with comity during the primaries over the issues, tear them apart to down to the nuts and bolts, try to convince each other about the policies AND electability of our respective guys. Then, we will suck it up if our guy loses in the primaries and vote for the GOP nominee in the general. Why? Because we’re putting country before selves: Obama must be removed from office or we’re screwed.

      I will swallow my doubts and problems with Paul if he is the candidate – all of the kookiness and the crap with which I strongly disagree – because Obama must be defeated. Are you Paul supporters saying that if he’s not the nominee, you’ll “take your toys home” like a bunch of spoiled brats because you didn’t get your way? Go third party, split the conservative vote, and in essence, re-elect Obama because your guy lost??? And you all wonder why a lot of Americans have a problem with Paul? A great deal of that problem lies with his supporters who expect my support if he wins the nomination, while threatening to go third party if he loses. That’s not the way it works in my world, and that’s not the way to get my vote.

  • seems our kids future has been penned the by the last generation and they weren’t even aware they were allowing it.. now they are gone and we are faced with the reality of what our government has been doing to it’s citizens.. that all that DIED to give us our freedoms..was for nothing.. Our fore fathers warned us however what they didn’t figure on was a CORRUPT system that LIES.. CHEATS.. AND STEALS.. Now we are fighting CONGRESS.. SENATE and PRESIDENT to a total of about 650 some odd people (have to include washed up PRESIDENTS who DON’T know how to keep their mouths shut.. like GORE.. CLINTON).. so our kids have the same freedom we did that they are now taking away.. Our kids will never know what it feels like to hear the TRUTH.. to SPEAK FREELY.. to GO WHERE they want..to EAT what they want.. AND to DO WHAT THEY WANT… UNMOLESTED by LAWS that inhibit ..to know the RULE OF LAW applies to ALL EQUALLY.. it’s something I have been telling people about LONG before GLEN even came on the scene.. but something I found out was not alone in thinking.. I can’t say on this I agree with GLENN don’t know if I can vote for a man who left not 1 but 2 wives while they were seriously ill.. I know he asked GOD for his forgiveness and I believe him however as a women and human I am NOT sure I can.. not to mention his POLITICAL POLICY’S

  • It is your right to stay at home and not vote in this upcoming election as it is my right to vote for Gingrich when I do. Calculate your intentions wisely, it could be the last opportunity you ever get to vote again. I can promise you that if RP wins the primary, I’ll still break my neck to vote straight Republican, handing my vote right on over to him….BUT I will NEVER vote for a 3rd party after the primary results have been determined.

            Maybe, but I’ll still vote for Newt if he gets the nomination: all I really care about in 2012 is defeating Barak Obama. Are you saying that you’d rather have four more years of Barry rather than four years of Newt? And yes, it may come down to that simple of an either/or question when you walk into the voting booth: either you vote GOP or we get four more years of Bozo.

            “My guy” was/is Perry, depending on his numbers when my state’s primary rolls around. But I’m not going to pout and whine if he loses or drops out, and I definitely would not vote for him if he goes all crazy third-party on me. It’s called acting like an adult and realizing that even crazy Charlie Manson would be better than Barry: The GOP motto for 2012 should be ABO – anyone but Obama.

      You could do what a lot of the grassroots have decided for 2012: disregarding the opinions of the Establishment politicians and pundits during the primaries, while depriving them of your money and support. A lot of us are working for and contributing to individuals rather than our local/state/national level RNC. Haven’t you heard all of their whining about how they’re being sooo ignored and disregarded this cycle? Don’t fall for what I call “McCain syndrome” in which our ‘betters’ lecture about Buckley’s old chestnut, how we must have the votes of moderates/Indies, and conservatives need to get back on the bus that just ran them over. Ignore them – I have for years and the world continued to turn. Until we can pry them out of power, that’s our only option.

      If you really, really cannot vote for Newt, there is one other option for stopping Obama, one you’ll seldom see mentioned. Ensure a veto-proof Senate which is also within our power this year due to a rare opportunity in the numbers and make sure we hold onto the House. If we can do that, Obama’s a lame duck from the moment he’s inaugurated, an empty suit whose opinion will matter as much as three-day old news.

    As much as RP scares people with his belief in the need to pull back all forces world wide…. Since Vietnam, I have been a staunch believer in if you commit troops, you do it to win and then reap the spoils. If the nation isn’t willing to do that then don’t waste one life on world social engineering. I believe in total, vicious, dirty and horribly bloody war that is fought to WIN. Service members are dying as this is written and for what? We’re going to walk away in the near future and have gained WHAT? WHAT? Newt and Mitt are a part of that elite that will play with our children’s lives like usless pawns. Research and think before you settle for the establishment pick. And have a little more smarts and base you belief on polls.

  • I will not vote for Newt or Obama, either. I will vote 3rd party, if there is a true fiscal conservative running. I will not vote for another big government elitist in 2012.

    To the people crying about it, that’s your problem.

    • Anonymous

      Then you wasted your vote.Congratulations.

      • I don’t waste my votes. I give them to the people who deserve it.

        It’s called principles, you should try some.

        • Luthien Ivey

          Just because other people do not share YOUR principles doesn’t mean that they have none: it just means that they have different ones that may be equally valid. To insult them as you have will hardly persuade them to vote for your candidate, who I assume is Paul. Why? Because his supporters hurl the most insults toward their fellow conservatives and have the snootiest attitude toward the other candidates. To be blunt, I have a bigger problem voting for Paul because of the behavior and comments of his supporters than I do with Paul himself… you might want to think about that, and the reasons why.

          Why should I vote for – or even respect – your candidate when you show so little respect for the others and their supporters? It gives me pause and makes me wonder, what is it about this man that attracts such fanatics who would rather see Obama win than their guy lose. Such an attitude doesn’t help Paul in his bid for the nomination; rather, it turns people like me off, bigtime. It doesn’t come across as principled; it sounds more like a bad case of sour grapes. You might want to think about that, too.

      • You are right! Voting is a waste!

  • Michael Gilmer

    Obama and Newt are two peas from the same pod. Both are big government politicians who only care about themselves.

    • you’re wrong…about Newt, that is. Check the facts.

      • lol, if you believe everything that politicians say, especially Newt, then God help the US.

        Seriously, suspension of disbelief only applies to entertainment, not politics. If you’re going to simply ignore what he has stood for prior to his running, then you’re a dishonest person.

        • Not being dishonest…just living in the real world…which includes 57M people that bought the “Hope and Change” garbage. Look…40% of Americans will not vote for ANYONE opposing Obama, because they’re on the dole. So that means we, as conservatives, need the 20% of the indie vote, and ALL of the 40% that reside right of center. The margins are thin. Beck is wrong on this front. He’s let his ideology get in the way of reality, and he’s not willing to extend to Gingrich, the same level of forgiveness that he’s received himself…which is hypocritical.

          • Why so serious? Geez…you have the whole election mapped out with percentages and everything. It’s 1 year away…the economy is surely going to get much much much worse…in 2012. How does that bode well for Obama? If the Republicans don’t win the election in 2012 its either because they are idiots are they aren’t trying.

    History tells us that the Libertarians could not win more than 3%-4% in virtually every election contest through 2008. Now they determine they will join with the Republicans and attempt to reform the Republican party. Ron Paul has even gone so far as to threaten a third party if he doesn’t win the Republican nomination. Libertarians, either you stand with the Republican nominee or you force all Americans to live in a Socialist/Communist/Fascist country. Suicide for the US and its Constitution, its freedoms, its capitalism is voting third party in 2012.

    • For all the hype, I’m seeing more and more people thinking… I’m not voting for the lesser of two evils, I’m not voting for the person picked by the party elite… I’m backing win or lose the person that I feel is best. Many didn’t hold their nose and vote for McCain. We need a strong Constructionist in the Whitehouse. That’s not Newt or Romney. If either win the nomination they will fail the general. Obumer has his 45% of useful idiots in the bag. Throw in those that refuse to vote and a little voter fraud…. Game over. Repubs need someone better than the current top two.

  • I liked Newt before Democrats extorted him (based on infidelity, etc.) into bad deals in the late 90’s. However, I’m not a big fan of any of the leading Republican contenders given their left-wing tendencies on rewarding illegal invaders, energy taxation, spending, etc. Of course you never know where they truly stand because politics is all about tricking as many people as possible into voting for them. Obama tricked tens of millions into thinking he is not a socialist with the primary objective of misusing government to redistribute wealth and extorting private enterprises to do the same just like Clinton et al. did with disastrous affirmative action lending they pushed for using FLA 1968, ECOA 1974 & CRA 1977, which idiotic Bush continued to avoid being mislabeled a racist by Democrats if he ended it. Even though Obama is so far to the left that, if he could get away with it, he’d do the same things Mugabe and Chavez did, he and others before him run our government as Third Way socialism where there is a degree of private property rights, but a massive portion of the government is dedicated to taking private property in order to redistribute it to unnecessary government employees and others, as opposed to only paying for necessary goods and services to run government. It’s just neo socialism recognizing that a semblance of private property provides a better economic engine than original socialism and communism. As a result, 60+ million people in America and tens of millions of foreigners have become American taxpayer dependents (22+ million usually overcompensated government employees, 40+ million welfare recipients, overcompensated lobbyist/contractors, foreign countries, etc.). It’s become us (people who fund government) vs. them (people who benefit much more than they pay in from our wealth siphoned by government and redistributed to them). So we are forced to pay to promote irresponsibility in other people. We are living a less dramatic version of the movie Idiocracy. Too much of government is simply public organized crime since our weak (unvested and unintelligent) democracy permits so many people to vote for politicians to steal and give them more. It went bad when politicians co-opted private, voluntary charity and turned it into forced charity to buy votes with other people’s money while skimming off the top of the tax proceeds for useless and overpaid government employees. There shouldn’t be forced charity to begin with, but since charity is forced then at least future responsibility should be forced too, e.g., spaying and neutering in exchange for child welfare or voluntarily crossing back into your own country in exchange for letting you keep property you acquired while illegally here. Not only that, but our Constitution has been rendered meaningless by a pile of legal fiction from left wing judges/justices whose primary objective is to misuse government to redistribute wealth, or worse. The left wing, including some Republicans, actively encourages an illegal invasion by misinterpreting the 14th Amendment to give away citizenship to illegals and by forcing taxpayers to pay for their welfare cash, subsidies, meals, housing, education, healthcare, defense attorneys, incarceration, while we suffer their crimes and also let them play the judicial jackpot lottery. Both Bushes were/are liberal idiots who wasted thousands of men and trillions of dollars. Clinton was/is a Third Way socialist who set us up for real estate loan disaster. Obama’s a communist practicing as a Third Way socialist squandering trillions because that’s all he can get away with. We’re left begging for someone, anyone who is not financially retarded. Long story short, all I can say is I am in the any-Republican-but-Obama camp.

  • Anonymous

    Paul is the only candidate that doesn’t speak from both sides of his mouth, and while many may “hate” his foreign policy, rest assured that at least your children won’t die in another pointless war.

    And it doesn’t mean Paul is a pacifist or an isolationist, it means he will not send the military to war without a Constitutional declaration. So no more “peacekeeping” baloney or “meals on wheels” missions where our brave die because of prohibitive rules of engagement while under a foreign commander as was the case with every Clinton initiative.

    Do all of yourselves a favor and get behind Paul. He is the one single embodiment to the original concept of a Jeffersonian. Alternative, elect a Hamiltonian and get 4, 8, 12 or 16 more years of stead decline until there is nothing left of our Constitution.

If he goes up against Obama, I believe some seriously dark, perverted things will come out of that man’s closet. It will make John Edward look like a really well meaning guy.

          As any trip to the drug store or even the restroom vending machines in truck stops one may see that there are a great variety of prophylactics available, and while they all accomplish the same end they simply look and feel different from each other.
          My main complaint is that the Dr. Paul variety simply doesn’t sell enough to be successful and for some reason never will.

            hehe – well, I won’t argue the finer points of politicians being scumbags. Though, I do think Paul is different. The guy is squeaky clean. Perhaps annoyingly so… like the obnoxiously obedient kid in school promoted to hall monitor or take names when the teacher was away. That said… he’s got the cleanest record and I know where he stands on every issue as his platform hasn’t changed in 30+ years.

      I am in favor of many Libertarian positions myself but I am more in favor of getting Mr. Obama the heII out of town, as soon as is possible. Ron Paul has a very vocal, dedicated and unfortunately small constituency. I am fear it is far too small to ever elect him to any at large office never the less the Presidency.
      As a veteran I will not sacrifice my country, my children’s nor my grandchildren’s future to make a statement or to be too rigid in my beliefs. The election for the president in this case is not the proper forum for such self aggrandizing and philosophical statements, not this time.
      We must rid the nation immediately of Mr. Obama and his cohorts in the Democrat party along with the most egregious RINOs out there. After we disassemble Mr. Obamas constructs, such as the Obamacare debacle and start to repair, via a complete tax code overhaul the long term fiscal damage he has started, may we then begin to engage in esoteric discussions and elections. Right now our country is mortal danger and we haven’t the luxury of doing anything, anything at all except to win this upcoming election and for my money we only have a chance if we limit our choices this time to Mr. Romney or Mr. Gingrich. In Mr. Romney I see a northeastern, Massachusetts Republican (RINO) or Mr. Gingrich, a man of many accomplishments. Mr. Gingrich’s accomplishments include the taking of the majority after over forty years of uninterrupted Democrat rule, the balancing of four consecutive budgets, the overhaul of welfare as we knew it, the Contract With America and manifold other successes.
      I caution you folks out there to not be taken in by the same old media lies, such as Mr. Gingrich divorcing a dying wife as she lay in a hospital bed. It was after all the wife who requested the divorce at that time and as for her being a dying person, well she is still alive and doing quite well, I am even given to understand that she is supporting Mr. Gingrich in his current bid for the nomination and hopefully succession to the presidency. Remember the media will savage Mr. Gingrich as he is the only one out there who will take them on directly and show them for the utter scum that they are and he is also the only person who capable of consistently destroying Mr. Obama in a series of debates. He is the sharpest tooth on the blade and in this election we need to cut deep in order to excise this Democrat cancer invading our body politic.

  • Its interesting to see the willingness to vote for your party override deep contemplation of your values and does this man represent what i feel is best for america not to mention the complete lack of loyalty to any moral code Im witnessing tonight in alot of these posts. Thomas Jefferson was willing to let the newly formed country called America divide when he said he would not intervene if Virginia wanted to secede because he had values that he held more dear than some nationalist sense of obligation to hold the nation so many had died for together. To do so would negate their deaths since secession was how we came about. Its the same thing folks we’ve got people saying screw your convictions as long as we get our guy in there. Washington merely reflects the moral fiber of society because on some level we put them there. I personally feel like dissension from corrupt government is my duty as an american and even if this country burns I’ll go to my grave with peace knowing I was true to my heart and voted from my conviction rather than some manic fear that our guy is the lesser of two evils and we better hold our noses just to get an R in the white house. Someone earlier said thats a kindergarten notion and we need to grow up but a vote is your voice. Im not religious but Im pretty sure there was another guy who felt like life should be simple and often used children as examples of how we all should be but then the” informed grown up ” status quo we’ve got to work from the inside and tolerate compromise people killed him. And thats just one example but history if you really want to know it is full of these examples. A key belief of communism is that morality and ethics are moot in the face of the advancement of the communist party; does this sound familiar?

    Well this thread exploded. I listened to Glenn to give him a chance, he only doubled down and lashed out. The issue isn’t wether he supports Newt or some other. The issue is he is trashing Newt and unfairly twisting facts. Glenn is suspiciously not picking Romney apart and doesn’t touch Huntsman. (Glenn: “My dearest friend and hero is billionaire I barely know.”) The other issue is, he says there is NO difference between Newt and obama, and if you support Newt, it’s because your a racist.
    That is unbleieavbly HYPOCRITICAL and UNFAIR. And also stupid.
    Glenn is now on a crusade against progressivism. Ok, but how far do you go in defining progressivism? Who decides what is and who is progressive? GLENN BECK DOES!!! He wear those special sunglasses from “They Live”, and when he wears them he suddenly sees progressives infilitrating every walk of life!
    You know, I’m not professional historian like glenn :-|, but I will bet you $10,000 that Ronald Reagen has said positive things about Teddy Roosevelt (and FDR too!!! AHHHH!). So I guess we should go dump dogsh*t on Reagen’s grave because he was a FAKE conservative, and a PROGRESSIVE P.O.S. Am I right guys!!!? YEah! Let’s go!!! Ron Paul Ron Paul Ron Paul WOOOOOOOOOH!1!1!
    So Glenn would vote for Pauly in a 3rd party over Newt? Awesome, a protest vote to gaurantee obama wins! I tell you what, if Ron Paul wins the nomination, I will write in Newt or Trump and vote 3rd or 4th party.
    I think the REAL progressives are giddy about this Glenn. Way to go. Barry has his feet up on the oval office desk “…Excellent…” Like Mr Burns. Van Jones is massaging Barry’s feet “everything is going according to plan Mr Prezident” *insert lisp*

    I am afraid in this case that impeachment does not go far enough, by any measure. Attorney General Holder is part of a seditious cabal which conspired to undermine and subvert the Constitution of the United States, specifically the Second Amendment. This offense is at times, as in a time of war for instance, a capital offense which means it is punishable by death after trial and conviction.
    A case may be made here that Mr. Holder and his minions at The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATFE), did conspire to subvert the Second Amendment by clandestinely directing certain federally licensed firearms dealers to illegally supply firearms to ineligible persons for transport across international borders, in direct violation of US law in order to facilitate murder and mayhem and thereby create the impression that these weapons were legally sold and transported. The next step in the conspiracy was to then uncover these heinous crimes and publicize them with the understanding that they were only possible because of lax restrictions on this type of firearms trafficking. The hope would be to create a ground swell of support to force the Congress into altering United States law to further restrict a U. S. citizens rights under the second amendment to legally own, transport, use and sell firearms.
    After all if the deaths of United States law enforcement personnel and numerous Mexican government officials and hundreds civilians could be traced to firearms which were apparently handled in compliance with our laws, that the laws must be lacking and in need of drastic overhaul.
    The number of laws violated by this cabal is many. They directed gun dealers who they themselves directly license, I know this as I had a Federal Firearms License (FFL) through the 1980’s and early 1990’s, to violate federal laws, which in this case are serious felony violations punishable by 10 years or more in prison plus hefty fines, for each violation. When requested they further refused to put these instructions in writing, not wanting to leave an evidence trail and consequently establishing knowing intent of the unlawful nature of their instructions to the licensees.
    This is the type of behavior one might suspect in some third world junta or banana republic; not in the world’s most respected democracy (republic).
    To compound the situation when the death of a United States Border Patrol agent was inevitably carried out using one of AG Holders weapons a cover up was begun. This escalated to both verbal and written lying to Congress, perjury by many high level ATFE managers including AG Holder himself in ongoing testimony during Congressional hearings convened to investigate this whole sordid affair. At this date the lies and obfuscations continue and unbelievably the conspirators and many high level Democratic politicians are not only complicit in the cover up but are actually pursuing legislation to restrict the rights of legal gun owners as if none of this traitorous affair had come to light!
    The brazenness of these conspirators and their confidence in the continued complicity, in some cases, of their media enablers/co-conspirators if you will, speaks volumes to their wantonness. It would seem that when it comes to exceeding their authority and frankly their willingness to commit murder and treason in order to achieve their ends they feel confident that they are and will remain above the law and out of the reach of justice. This arrogance may well be the result of the anticipation of the issuance of pardons from the highest level of government should this vile house of cards be properly discovered and prosecuted. It either this or a potentially fatal case of arrogance brought about by a lifetime of illegal behavior which has gone unpunished.
    Many of those involved here are themselves those who would normally be involved in the investigation and indicting of those involved and I suspect they feel that they can suppress this investigation via the powers of their respective offices and those of other prominent Democrats in both the Legislative and more importantly, their co-conspirators in the Executive branch.
    In closing this attempted sedition must be exposed and all those involved prosecuted and punished to the absolute fullest extent of the law. I am almost sixty years of age and never in my life have I witnessed any events that can even approach the danger that these present to our current form of government nor have I seen such potentially damaging activities conducted by those who hold the very highest offices in our government.
    These people must be made examples of what is and what is not acceptable if our very nation is survive.

      I agree with you but the ruling class of the party will never let Ron Paul be nominated. He has to pull out of the GOP, he probably would have to go Libertarian because they are on all state ballots. There is little time left to do that with a new party. I as an Independent will not vote for him on Republican ticket. I do not like the direction of the GOP and the fact that bible thumping religious fanatics have taken over the party.

      It is the only way we will ever change the status quo, we Independents don’t want to continue the Democratic party or Republican party way. One is no better than the other, both have good and bad but now both are corporate controlled through lobbyists. Until we can take all outside special interest money out of elections, we have nothing but money from corporations controlling and corrupting nearly all politicians. We have two politicians, on each end of the spectrum that don’t take anything from corporations/lobbyist. That is Ron Paul TX and Bernie Sanders VT. One, six year term limit for all politicians would end seniority, running for the next term(that takes a lot of money, that comes from special interest), and make the politician feel that when he went back home people would feel that he went and voted for what the people wanted. If Ron Paul run third party he has my vote and monetary support otherwise my vote goes Obama, I cannot support a party of bible thumping religious fanatics.

      • I’m definitely sick of the Democratic and Republican party. I was independent until the state I was living in got rid of that political affiliation- thanks to lawsuits by the Dems and Repubs. They changed it to Unaffiliated.

        I moved and changed to Libertarian, but, I can’t vote in the caucus, so I changed to Republican. I’m voting in the caucus for Ron Paul, and then switching again.

        Unless more fiscal conservatives and Constitutional Conservatives take back the Republican party, I’m done.

  • Voting for anyone other than a third party ensures that America follows the same ol status quo we are stuck in now. Get your heads out of your rear ends and quit towing defunct and ineffective party lines. Both Dem and Reps are controlled by the same group and a vote for either is a vote for the globalist elite.

    • No way…I’d rather vote for the Republican who will rack up trillions in debt and take away our civil liberties…I mean the Democrat…oops..wait..yeah for sure the Republican. I feel better when a Republican is in charge of war and stealing my wages.

      Yeah and Ron Paul never made a dime the past 500 years he’s been ‘serving’ in Congress. All those stories about him being a king porker are just not true. Just because he’s served 500 years doesn’t make him an insider. Just because he spreads the pork to his pals back home doesn’t mean he is at all disingenuous.
      At least Newt’s graft was from a semi-private company, Ron paul just takes the taxpayer money directly, much better that way.

  • Rich I respect your thoughts its obvious they are your own. I am just curious how ‘we’ will restructure anything after Newt is elected. Can you tell me how Newt gingrich is the best man to represent the people and be their voice? Thats what its about afterall right? Government for the people by the people not parties and lone individuals. So will Newt actually be that or will we have more of the same or worse? Whats worse someone who tells you what they are upfront or someone operating from the shadows as one thing but presenting themselves as another? We all knew what we were getting with Obama but Newt seems to be a serious question mark even amongst his own family and friends. Personally I believe “we the people” have more of a chance to restructure things w Ron Paul.

They have no idea who caused these problems for if they did they would be choking the halls of Congress, the Whitehouse and the Supreme Court. It is the American voter hoping to redistribute wealth from wealthy states to states in need; from taxpayers to the irresponsible, from the haves to the have nots. Our failure is from the responsible shirking their duty to hold an out of control Federal Government in check. We have failed this Nation and now expect the political elite who have nothing more but self-interest to fix a problem that can not be fixed through the ballot box. I watch the riots and hope they grow. I know those in power that are required to uphold the laws are poisoned by the chains of political correctness and will sit by as the nation burns. We are doomed. It is quite comical reading those stating other politicians need to GO…. This is true of all elected elites. However, you collectively complain of other self-serving voter’s meal tickets. The Federal level of government is too far removed from the voter to care for their constituency. They only have to pander to the ones that help to keep them in power. The only way to correct this perverted mess is to pray for the collapse. To believe the ballot box will correct this joke is hilarious.

  • Well said, Rightscoop. That’s how Obama won last time around. I will vote for Newt or Romney if either of them is our nominee. But as much as I criticized people for not voting for McCain, because it was a vote for Obama, I will not, in good conscience vote for Ron Paul if, God forbid, he becomes the nominee.

    • So let’s say Ron Paul IS the nominee…you would vote for Obama?

      • Nope, I would not vote, for the first time ever. I would do what everyone else did the last time around, and sit this one out. I did my damndest to get people to vote for McCain, because even a no vote was a vote for Obama.

I don’t care if it’s Romney or Paul – despite them being the worst of the lot (Paul, because he will not answer the question about who fills the power vacuum if America pulls in and acts like there are no bad guys out there). I wouldn’t care if the Republicans went to some insane asylum, pulled out a guy who thinks he’s a reincarnation of Napoleon and Marie Antoinette. If they stamp “Republican Nominee” on that person’s forehead, I’m voting for him or her. The Messiah is THAT BAD. If you care about America, you’ll see the wisdom of these words and join me. Otherwise, you’re voting for The Messiah, and I’ll see you in hell.

        There is nothing to think about. If Ron Paul is the Republican nominee, I will vote for him. I will donate to his campaign. I will do my level best to convince everyone I can to vote for him. But if Ron Paul – or Donald Trump – or any other supposed conservative runs a third party campaign, I will despise that person, along with The Messiah. A “conservative” in a third party will split the conservative vote and will hand a victory to The Messiah without him having to spend a dime. So again – if Beck or anyone else votes for a conservative who is not at the top of the Republican ticket instead of supporting the Republican nominee – whoever he or she is – then such people are fools and I’d rather hang out with the Occupy idiots than such conservative imbeciles. After all, the Occupy crowd has an excuse for being stupid: they are liberals. What is a conservative’s excuse?

  • Ron Paul would probably steal more elections from Obama as a 3rd party candidate than he would from the Republican nominee.

    • You mean the Democrats that voted for Obama thinking he was anti-war.

  • The national debt is my number one concern. If the GOP puts in Newt or Romney, might as well vote for Obama. Nothing will change if any of those 3 are in power.

    If Newt gets the nomination it will be the end of the Republican Party. Another McCain, Dole or Ford type candidate/loser, will certainly bring about a real 3rd party. Republicans need a Reagan type candidate. Which candidate looks like Reagan, Newt or Romney?
    NEVER EVER VOTE FOR A DEMOCRAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • If Newt gets the nod, and you blindly vote for him, simply because he’s better than Obama, when will it end? The GOP was supposed to get the message about moderates when McCain lost. If we keep voting for horrible Republican nominees we’ll never get a good one. Ron Paul might not be the best choice, but compared to Newt or Romney, at least he’ll help undo the piss poor way Obama ran the country. Newt, Romney, Obama, they’re all the same, any one of them will keep our country down and there will be no recovery.

    NOW IS THE TIME FOR ALL GOOD MEN AND WOMEN TO COME TO THE AID OF THERE COUNTRY! HONORABLE AMERICANS VOTE THEM ALL OUT!

    The danger to America is not Barack Obama but a citizenry capable of entrusting a man like him with the Presidency. It will be far easier to limit and undo the follies of an Obama presidency than to restore the necessary common sense and good judgment to a depraved electorate willing to have such a man for their president.

    The problem is much deeper and far more serious than Mr. Obama, who is a mere symptom of what ails America . Blaming the prince of the fools should not blind anyone to the vast confederacy of fools that made him their prince.

    The Republic can survive a Barack Obama, who is, after all, merely a fool. It is less likely to survive a multitude of fools such as those who made him their president.

    Some people have the vocabulary to sum up things in a way you can understand them. This quote came from the Czech Republic. Someone over there has it figured out. We have a lot of work to do.

    Gleen,
    By backing Ron Paul you are putting Obama back in office for the next four years… 🙁

    • Dr. Paul has a better chance then anyone else at beating Obama because if he has to he’ll third party it and like you said it looks like obama for another 4. But i guarantee Obama is scared of Paul. so why not vote for paul as the outright contender and beat obama? what is wrong with the docter?

    RON PAUL 2012! I think he has the BEST chance at beating OBAMA.. He can actually pull Democrat voters from Obama and He’ll definately grab all the 3rd Party Votes. I’m one of those Democrats that Voted for Obama in 08

  • Ron Paul wins Iowa. It gets tighter. I read the differences between Newt and Mitt. Made me realize how similar they were.

    Personally I think the occupy whatever stuff gave more power to the Tea Party. If Ron Paul were elected all you occupy people could smoke pot, or heroin or whatever. They probably just want a free handout from the government even though they dont pay taxes. Obama supports I would presume. But those that are not should be Ron Paul supporters. Obama will lose this election no matter what. Dont be fooled. He already lost the way he handled the situation he was given. This is America, and the best doesn’t give second chances.

    But anyway, this race gets tighter people. I really hope it doesnt come to this but imagine a nomination situation so close and so clouded with debate and defense and propaganda… Ron Paul is forced to Independently run. With the backing of the Tea Party and a growing number of awoken independent voters give victory to Dr. Paul.

    Everyones lives would be so much better. Do you not hear yourselves bickering back and forth sometimes name calling and insulting one another. Our country really is in something bad. Our fists are so mangled together trying to fight that we are not able to step back and let the punches be thrown at the real bad guys. It really is all an illusion. Democrats and Republicans are fighting for the same future.

    We were all given the right to vote in order to control our government, to elect people that would uphold the constitution. Ron Paul is the only person with the balls to be different than everyone else.

    It’s quite simple really. Democrats usually like to be fiscally liberal and socially liberal. While you have the Republicans that tend to be fiscally conservative and socially conservative. A Libertarian is fiscally conservative and socially liberal. If you don’t know what this means go look it up. its not hard to find. Don’t let the simplicity confuse you.

    Ron Paul can get love from all around. Hopefully he can get enough love pulled towards the middle that he can win this baby. And that would be the lower part of the diamond middle, because the top middle position would be socialism which is socially conservative and fiscally liberal. Or no personal freedom or economic freedom. Ron Paul gives you the most of both. Mitt or Newt will only give you economic freedom but personal freedom isn’t all the way there. And I dont even know what Obama is doing. He just had a disaster. Sorry for rambling but wake up people. Ron Paul is what we need and what we want you just dont know it.

    If Paul does not get the nod and goes third party, which is what I will push him to do, I and many like me will vote for him. When this happens, you will be given a choice, vote Paul, or give Obama four more. Plain and simple. I just know how many will vote for Paul, and I believe Glenn will be in the mix.

  • Political parties change people. Remember the Whigs? I think it’s time for a new party to take the stage: Libertarians. The elephant and the donkey are deadlocked they can’t see the mess they have created. Neither one will be able to get us out of the mess we’re in. Ron Paul is the only answer. What exactly is wrong with him? tell me a reason why you like someone and i bet i can find that same reason taken care of by Ron Paul.

    • Definitely. I left the Republican party and went Independent. Unfortunately, in the last state I lived in, the Dems and Reps went to court and got the Independent party removed from voter party affiliation. They had it changed to Non-Affiliated. At least that’s what the voter registration office told me. Wasn’t notified, just received a new voter card in the mail.

      I’m now in the Libertarian party, but will change to Republican to vote for Ron Paul before the deadline in a month. After that I’m not returning to the GOP until they are taken over by the Libertarian wing.

      No reason to join the democratic party, there is no conservative movement inside it, so I’m not wasting my time with them.

    Glenn Beck is a Mormon, so is Mitt Romney. So who do you think Beck will endorse? Mitt Romney will lose the election since many republications & independents do not like him, they consider him a RINO. Unfortunately obama will have another four years to bring this country to the ground if Romney is the Republican nominee. Newt Gingrich, I believe, would stand a chance against obama since Newt knows what he is talking about that will immensely impress the conservatives & independents. The only thing that Romney has is Mormon money to back him up. BTW, Glenn Beck is a “blowhard!” If Ron Paul runs on a 3rd party than he is insuring obama will win the election. Ron Paul doesn’t stand a chance of winning except to take votes away from the Republican nominee; just like what Ross Perot did to the lst Bush.

          Actually I voted for a CHANGE that was better than the mess BUSH put us in, But came to find out he is pretty much Bush the 3rd.

          Well since you have the typical NEO-CON views you would say some crap like that… BUT NO I’ve NEVER been on Food Stamps or Section 8, only receiving HIGHER TAXES and I BET I PAY MORE THEN YOU being Self Employed LOL

          and its VIVA 1776 REVOLUTION!! Too bad you don’t remember what that was about…. RON PAUL 2012!

          It’s too BAD you’re always going to suck in what the MEDIA tells you to think. NEWT has NO chance of Beating Obama so to save this country you should support Ron Paul.

            Actually I wasn’t referring to Viva 1776 Revolution. Why don’t you engine search “Viva ll Duce” which I am applying to obama. I stand corrected, you and I are alike, and we pay taxes so that freeloaders can enjoy what we provide, in taxes, to them. I still stand by my remarks, Ron Paul running as an Independent will be another Ross Perot; taking votes away from the Republican nominee. Can you imagine another four years of obama; god forbid! If Ron Paul is selected as the Republican nominee, I WILL vote for him (even thought he is not my choice as Republican nominee). Cheers!

    I met Glenn way back when we he started at Clear Channel’s flagship station, WFLA- AM in Tampa, Florida. I listened for years, I watched his show, first on CNN and then on Fox.
    When Glenn started having his health problems, is when I believe his thinking got muddled. I know he does no recreational drugs, I know he no longer drinks, so I can only attribute his flawed logic on his health issues; there can be no other explanation.
    I stopped listening to Beck when he declared that he had no problem with “civil unions.” Quoting Thomas Jefferson he said, “That which neither picks my pockets nor breaks my bones is of no concern to me.” If he truly wanted to discuss Thomas Jefferson’s attitude about homosexuality, one only read how he believed that all “sodomites” as homosexuals were then known, should be castrated and sent into the wilderness.
    Anybody who claims they will vote for the worst candidate in either voting for Obama, Huntsman, or Ron Paul, just because they don’t “like” Newt, are worse than fools; they are complete idiots that put self above country. I am not a Newt “fan” but he is a far cry better than anyone else running with the exception of Rick Santorium.
    We need to get behind whoever is the RNC candidate, swallow our pride if it is not our choice and support the candidate so that we can stop this socialist takeover of America and bring to justice those who have committed acts of treason.

  • I liked and respected you and your opinions up until you made this comment. Want to GUARANTEE Emperor Obama stays in office and completes his destruction of this country?? Just run a third party candidate!! Only a complete moron or someone who wishes to see the country destroyed would support such a move. For a student of history try looking back to the Ross Perot debacle. Have you thought about the tertiary effects of people not voting out Democrat Senatators and Representatives because of the confusion of a third party candidate?? It won’t do any good to elect a Republican (any Republican) unless the Senate is taken back from Harry Reid and the House has a supermajority… Get real, you claim to have made siginificant changes in your life yet you deny the possibility of Newt doing the same. Hypocrite, look at yourself in the mirror!!!

        • Anonymous

          In my words “now”? Seriously, whose words do you think I have been using?

          Ron Paul is an isolationist. I applaud his determination to use our military on our own border, but he thinks we shouldn’t be involved in international conflicts where we are not attacked. Granted, it’s debatable over whether or not we should have gone into Iraq, Afghanistan or Libya, but I have serious doubts that he would use force against Iran if they started a war with Israel. We have allies, but not for long if we don’t stand with them through thick and thin. I truly think that Ron Paul would sit by and watch the rest of the world waging WWIII even after our allies get decimated. We formed NATO for a reason, and that’s to ward off or stand up against communist or dictatorial attacks. We live in a global market, so our interests stretch way beyond our borders. It would not have benefited us to let Hussein invade and conquer the Middle East, or for Hitler to finish his rampage across Europe. We’d be looking at a much, much more hostile world right now if Ron Paul was in charge throughout those times, and it’s possible we may have fallen in the end if we didn’t stand up to tyranny and waited until it crashed our own borders.

  • I guess that’s on way to ensure an obama victory, is divide up the vote. Does Ross Perot ring a bell? Beck needs rethink what he said.

    • Beck doesnt need to rethink, Beck needs to reLOcate! OUT OF AMERICA!

  • You’re full of sh*t. Newt is just what the oligarchs want. Or they know Newt will lose to Obama, but either way, the central bank will be protected and they can keep robbing Americans via inflation and transferring our “wealth” to other banks and governments.

    Glenn beck does not support Ron Paul’s true constitutionalist policies of non intervention….Bush then Obama and now Newt, all are the faces of the same coin. This country has enough resources (oil,gas, water,land) to easily become the most powerful nation without debts and foreign involvements. Defence is protecting our borders and not creating more enemies for the benefit of the military’s interests. We need someone strong to protect our borders and not a bully who will be mocked by the entire world in unison. How many friends have we created in the last 20 years? And hoe many enemies? The failure is the foreign policy which needs a drastic Change which no one except Ron Paul or Denis Kucinich offers.

    Sorry Mr. Beck, a year ago you were a icon for conservatism, after canceling your Fox TV show, you have all but disappeared, charging the faithful for access to your shows and much needed info, you are no better than those you complain about. Newt may have a tarnished background but so did Clinton and it didn’t stop him. You are expecting the media and Obama’s goons of “ministry of enlightenment and propaganda” to paint Newt’s kettle black and destroy his campaign the same as they did with Sarah Palin, however something vital is missed in all the media noise. People are hungry for the truth, this country is in the worst shape EVER, that is how you get listeners & viewers, that is also why Newt is doing better in the polls, people can see his ability to stand out in a ground of also-rans who bring nothing to the party. Newt was a get it done congressman, he provided leadership in a leadership vacuum in the 90s. As proverbs says, “where there is no vision the people perish.” This country is at a crossroad, liberal Progressivism as embodied in Obama vs conservatism, the same as when George Washington, Andrew Jackson, Lincoln felt called to keep this country and it’s ideals alive, so is Newt.

    Knocking Newt and even suggesting you would support a 3rd party candidate, is stupidity and your lousy example would have many following you.

I will also lose a lot of respect for any candidate who goes rogue third party, and for those who would support him. Yes, that includes you, Mr. Beck and Mr. Paul, two people for whom I have lost a lot of respect over this one issue.

    Keep your eye on the prize: to ensure that January 20, 2013, marks the end of an error. The defeat of Barak Obama should be the goal of every conservative, if not Republican, in this country: otherwise, I’m not sure we’ll have a country by the next election – at least, not the country I know and love.

    So Glenn can re-invent himself, but no one else can? What if everything Glenn had done was brought up to him today to explain as if what he did 20 years ago had relevance?
    Glenn will expect us to forgive, forget and understand anything Glenn did while drinking, but if Newt did things will he was in the throes of youth, finding his wings, discovering what commitment means, trying on ideas, Newt cannot be forgiven.

    Glenn, let’s say there was a 12-Step program for people who, in their earlier years, had grown their hair long, changed spouses, flirted with liberal ideas? Would your forgive Gingrich then?

    Ron Paul is an Islamist’s best friend. If he’s elected president, he’ll turn this country over to Hamas and the Muslim Brotherhood. The guy doesn’t even acknowledge that Islamo-Fascism exists. Last week in Iowa, he even engaged in a little 9/11 Trutherism suggesting Bush was “gleeful” over the attacks.

    • Being a Neo-conservative (Hes not a real conservative please don’t try and tell me he was) , I don’t doubt their were people in his cabinet and himself who were dying to use military action in Iraq- sorry if that hurts to hear. But Perhaps you should be a bit more worried about fighting Fascism at home, before you defeat another brand of it abroad.

Gleeful may not be a good adjective but the big brass sure aren’t mournful when they get a chance to use their trade.

    What’s Ron Paul’s plan for fighting Islamo-Naziism? Does he even acknowledge that Islamism exists? Yeah, he’s good on domestic policy, I’ll give him that. His economic views are superb. But his foreign policy is a complete and utter disaster. His views are no different than America-haters Michael Moore, Cindy Sheehan and Dennis Kucinich. Ron Paul is a 50%-er. He gets 50% of the equation 100% right, and the other 50% 100% wrong. Bachmann, Perry, Romney, Santorum, any one of them would be better than Paul. (Except maybe Gingrich who is an appeasor on Islamism, as well.)

    • Raymond Scheel

      Over the last 40 years, we have all but proven that fighting radical Islam on the ground, through foreign aid, or by propping up dictators who are “friendly” to us has been a waste of lives and resources. In fact, there are convincing arguments that we have made things much worse for ourselves in how we have been handling things (e.g. our meddling in Iran). Recently, we have “given” Iran our predator technology well before we might actually engage them ourselves. Pulling back and letting them figure things out on their for 30 years can’t be worse at producing a stable long term culture, and since they won’t be investing internally, if they try to flood out we will have the means and reserves to push them back on to the reservation

  • What choices do we really have? We can either vote for Newt like we did for McCain or we can vote our conscience and go to our graves knowing we did the honorable thing. Personally I can not support Newt or Romney, I disagree with Paul’s isolationist foreign policy, but can find no fault in his arguments or his political record. Bachman appears to lack the force of character needed for the office, another Palin, plenty of conservative values but lacking in the strength of character needed. I was hoping to see someone come out of the Tea Party movement, but was disappointed when they decided to back Newt.
    Newt is a great debater, highly intelligent, but lacks the conservative foundation that we are looking for. Newt is all about himself, he would only do the right thing if it benefited himself and increased his prestige. Not the correct motivators for a Tea Party candidate. He needs to believe in the cause not just pay lip service to it.
    Third party or write-in, may be a wasted vote for some, but at least I can sleep at night knowing I voted my conscience and didn’t settle for the lessor evil.

      You show your ignorance and how you just parrot what you hear. Ron Paul is not an open borders guy.

      Ron Paul’s six point plan puts a stop to illegal immigration:

      Physically secure our borders and coastlines.
      Enforce visa rules.
      No amnesty.
      No welfare for illegal aliens.
      End birthright citizenship.
      Pass true immigration reform.

      Now isn’t it nice to know what you are talking about.

      Can’t stand to not send the military all over the world? Why? We haven’t tried such a policy in oh about 70 years. So how can you say it wouldn’t work? What we’ve been doing sure isn’t working. The middle east is still unsettled, we’ve lost thousands of solders lives, we are almost a bankrupt country, we had 911, we’ve lost individual liberties. Yep your way is working so well. NOT!

    Voting for Newt is the same as voting for Obama. There will be no difference. Obama suffers from NPD. Newt suffers from NPD. Both think they are smarter than everyone around them. In fact, Newt could be worse than Obama. One of the things that “saved” us was Obama’s ignorance of how to work DC. Newt knows how DC works and where Obama failed to bring people together, Newt could. Think I”m crazy? Look at how President Obama is more like George Bush than candidate Obama. When they ran, they could not have been more different. But once Obama gets in there he’s like GWB on steriods. Imagine what a Newt presidency could do to the country. So either way, if it’s Newt or Obama, it’s the same result for us. Only Ron Paul is the true constitutionalist. Only Ron Paul will seriously cut the budget and get us back to a Reagan like country.

    Beck is not stupid. He knows a 3rd party would split the Republican vote and elect Obama. So what are we to conclude about Beck? He has just lost credibility with me, and I suspect with a lot of conservatives. He is going to have to walk this back or much of his audience will abandon him, I suspect. Any Republican candidate is superior to Obama, and that needs to be our focus. Trying to get your guy in by threatening to re-elect Obama with a 3rd party candidate is reckless and irresponsible. Get your head in the game, Glenn!

    I agree. If I were voting today and Romney and Gingrich are the leaders, I’m voting for Romney. If Romney is way out front and Newt is not an issue, I’m voting for Paul.

    I agree. Michael Savage and Glenn Beck always do this. They act like useful idiots for the left. They demonized Bush to such a degree that ANYONE remotely similar to Bush, i.e. John McCain, had no chance of winning. They are doing it again. They need to WAKE UP and get behind the GOP nominee WHOEVER it is. Because another 4 years of BHO is unthinkable. I suggest Savage and Beck CEASE AND DESIST from tearing down potential GOP nominees going into 2012… NOW!

  • Newt is a huge upgrade over John McCain. It’s a little tiresome to see the immaturity of adults who take the Goldilocks approach to their presidential candidate. If they are not “just right” then I’m not voting for them. I’ll take my vote third party or not vote at all.

    Glen I’m com’in back as a listener. It is refreshing to hear someone is voting with integrity & heart for a principled candidate and not just voting for who can win. I would not tell my son who will be voting in his first Presidential elections, “son don’t vote for who you think is the best person, vote for who can win.

  • Right Josiah, and I’m Batman! This message board is the scariest thing I have witnessed in 25 years. Adults accepting hyperbole as truth. The reason the most virulent of the posts against Newt don’t include the name of an alternate choice is because every candidate has warts and can have holes punched in their savior suit.

  • I have to respectfully disagree with you Strawnman. A republican candidate that only pays lip service to Tea Party values would actually be worse then Obama. Beck is good at one thing, getting people thinking, I think he has done just that when it comes to Newt. Voting for the lessor of two evils just won’t cut it this election. I intend to cast my vote based upon my values and principles, so if the GOP fails to put forth a viable candidate, then I will vote my conscience with a third party or write-in. If Obama wins a second term then so be it, that would be the lessor of two evils, and I can still sleep at night. Its time to pick a side, make sure you pick the right one for the right reasons, not the side you think will win. I’d rather lose the election then lose my Honor!

        Not quite, as it is more that all the other candidates have suddenly started talking more like Ron Paul now that the people have started to realize just how much sense he has been making all along (but that the media and the GOP establishment tried to keep muzzled as best they could). None of the other candidates have a record of supporting even what they are suddenly now claiming to have always supported.

          Wrong. I have been following politics for years. Obviously you have not. Michele Bachmann and Rick Santorum have been consistently conservative on every issue. They may disagree with Ron Paul on foreign policy but they are true conservatives. Stop being lazy and find out who you are criticizing before you criticize them. If you represent a typical Ron Paul supporter then he doesn’t have a chance, even though I like and would support Ron Paul if he won the nomination.

  • Obama is Bush’s third term, and you guys had no problem with Bush. This is not a sport. This not about getting your team to win, it’s about trying to fix the problems with this country. Obama has expanded nearly everything W did. Yet those on the right bash him and those on the left praise him(and they hated Bush). Gingrich changes position based on whose paying him. Remember him supporting the federal mandate on healthcare and now says it horrible. Sitting with Nancy Pelosi about man-made climate change and so on. This team mentality is killing this country. Whose gives a damn which party wins but which person wins. The major parties are more alike than different.

  • Matt Sullivan

    It is amazing and frustrating to me that the Republicans cannot field a strong conservative candidate without the the flaws of Gingrich and Romney. A quick look at Ron Paul tells you he is over the edge. Still, I will not vote for a thrid party conservative candidate because to do so is to hand Obama his second term. (The one exception to this would be if they had a clar lead over Obama in the polls…almost impossible) I will argue with anyone who might suggest voting for a third party. Beck is looking for ratings here or is just speaking out of emotion.

  • Nope, voting third party against Romney. I guess most people don’t get it, we can’t fix what is wrong with this nation in Washington. Our solutions have to come from a different place, and if you look at what Beck is doing, you might understand that. Constitutional conservatives have apparently given up on the concept that the power lies in the House and Senate. You win those two houses Obama is controlled. Is it about principles, or is it about Obama, you guys decide. The Tea Party is dead.

    • Anonymous

      Andrew you underestimate the power of a president. He only becomes insignificant if the opposing party has VETO PROOF majorities. Without that then OBAMA can veto any legislation he doesn’t like AND continue to issue executive orders and appoint LIBERAL judges. You’re willing to accept that?

  • Anonymous

    First of all, Ron Paul has stated repeatedly that he has no intention of running third party. He’s been down that road and he knows it’s a rigged game. And it’s even more rigged now than it was in 1988. The only reason he doesn’t speak in absolutes about it is in case the GOP establishment pulls some funny business during the primaries, which is not unheard of. So the good news for the Newtwits and the Paul-haters is they don’t have to worry about a third party run, that’s just a scare tactic by the establishment Republicans.

    The bad news for the status quo supporters is that it doesn’t matter if Paul runs third party or not. If Paul is not the nominee the Paul supporters will sit it out. Don’t believe for a second they will hold their nose and vote for Newt Romney or Mitt Gingrich. During the last election it was reported that only 38% of Paul supporters voted for the GOP candidate, John McCain. I’ve seen surveys, as well as talking to Paul supporters, that indicate that percentage will be much smaller this time. And this time around he has a larger following. That’s enough to swing the election by itself, without counting the number of independents, moderates, cross-over Democrats and youth vote who intended to vote for Paul that will be lost. So whether he runs third party or not, his voting bloc will react as if he had.

    The equation is simple: if Ron Paul is not the nominee then Obama wins re-election.

I long for the old Beck who exposed Soros,Van Jones,and the rest of the Obama communist regime. The new Beckwimp really sucks.

  • Right now I will not vote for Newt or Romney. Slowing down the rate of growth in spending is not enough. We have to balance the budget or accept the extreme economic pain of hyper-inflation in the next decade or so. The deficit is by far the greatest long-term domestic problem we have and the greatest long-term national security problem that we have. Over $400,000,000,000 already disappears as interest on the debt every year. This is fiscal suicide.

    We are living okay today only because we are spending $5,000 we do not have for every single person in the country every year. The boomer generation is retiring and the need for entitlement funds is growing rapidly. Tax rates and spending plans must be sent to the back of the bus so balancing the budget can be given the importance it must have. It some pain now or deadly pain later.

    You just keep telling yourself Ron Paul “can’t win,” Moose, and that he has “no chance” of getting the nomination, as Paul wins Iowa and Nevada, and finishes a strong second in New Hampshire. News flash for ya – the stronger RP is in the early states, the better the chance he has of being nominated. And with the GOP’s new proportional allocation of delegates now in play, Ron will come with potentially hundreds of delegates, whether he wins the “outright” nomination or not.

    Again, just keep telling yourself he “can’t win,” as he engineers (at the very least) a brokered convention. THE GOP GRASSROOTS (you know, US) are sick and tired of “NEWT/ROMNEY” (thanks, Michele!)

    I couldn’t agree more. I like Glenn Beck, but I have to be honest. I like him less and less every day. He’s an interesting guy, he’s been right more than he’s been wrong, but it seems like every time he blows a fart, he writes a book about it, that you “must buy.” As time has gone on, there just seems to be a little too much shameless commercialism with Beck.

    One incident that began to turn my opinion of Beck happened when he released “Common Sense”. Common Sense seemed to be very hastily put together and offered nothing fresh and new. It looked to be more of a sop to his publisher than to his readers, but what struck me about it, was the timing of the release. At the same time, Mark Levin’s, Liberty and Tyranny, was #1 in the NY Times Bestseller list. I don’t think anyone would argue that Levin’s book was much better done and far more important than a rehash of Thomas Paine and an essay from Mr. Beck. It seemed piggish of Beck to use his popularity to knock Levin’s book off the #1 slot. I like competition as much as the next guy, but Beck looked like he was being selfish to me. I never felt the same about him since.

  • Newt’s record in office is clearly not conservative, George et al. Newt has been a “big government” politician his entire career and a greedy Newt selling influence as well. Investigate what items were taken off budget 1996,1997,1998,1999 so that the politicians could claim that they balanced the budget. The debt grew during that period. Explain to me how the debt grew if the budget was balanced? Newt is part and parcel a poster boy for the spending crowd, self dealing in office for relationships that could be profited from after leaving office. Ask yourself, what strategic advice is worth 1.6 million from an organization that is underwater with its financial obligations which is hoping for a bailout from the US Government from a career politician who just happened to be an ex speaker? What other politicians have been hired and well paid by the same organization? Lots of Democratic operatives have used Fannie and Freddie as a cash cow while in between political jobs for their party machine – heck even Clinton sent Rahm Emanuel there for a stint. Raines, Reno et al looted over 100 million from there before Raines et al became an economic adviser to Obama. Now we find, that Newt was part of the in crowd there. My pure speculation was that Newt was helping strategize the package being presented to garner enough Republican support and politically engineer it so that the bailouts would happen. Within Fannie, Freddie the real accountants had to know that their paper backing bad loans was rampant and a risk to the company.

  • Newt or Obama people. Obama wants you to stay home or vote 3rd party.

  • Mr. Beck talks with God and that is fine. It’s when he talks to himself, gets the answers he’s looking for, and then drops it all over others that trouble begins. Perhaps he can’t see due to that big, honking beam in his eye, but any encouragement, aiding or abetting of the cackling mad scientist and his troupe of flying monkeys in the Attic can and very well may be to the detriment of his favorite country. Glenn Beck is a professional talker, and speech is silver, the adage goes, while silence is golden. But for him, a God-message may help. “Even a fool, when he holdeth his peace, is counted wise: and he that shutteth his lips is esteemed a man of understanding,” the Proverbs say. Please, if you can’t do more than divide us and invite an Obama triumph, shut the hell up, Glenn

    Please let us not forget the reason Glenn says things like this. Glenn, as much as I love and respect him, has made the mistake of openly endorsing Michelle Bachmann live on the air. Now, I don’t mean an endorsement of Michelle Bachmann is bad. I love her too. But, when you have such as audience as Glenn does and you openly endorse someone for President, everything you say about every other candidate has to be seen through the veil of that endorsement.
    Glenn made the mistake of openly endorsing someone before a candidate was chosen. Now, when he begins to talk about politics I have to turn him off as much as I love him because in the back of my mind, I know why he is doing it.
    Yes, he is telling the truth in many cases, but “maybe” he is picking and choosing his truths in order to bolster HIS candidates run.
    That is the danger of the endorsement. You don’t know, at this point, where Glenn is coming from.

      And here’s the answer to your question. If the President’s only responsibility were to manage the budget and address Constitutional issues I could easily vote for Ron Paul… but unfortunately those aren’t the only responsibilities.

      Ron Paul’s views on foreign policy, the threat of Islam and the role of the US in the world are so far out of left field they belong is a Code Pink newsletter and essentially suicidal. His grasp of history is so shockingly poor it the thought of his being President should be terrifying.

      If he were to somehow win I would expect Israel to be overrun with in months and a second holocaust to be well underway and the WW III to be starting well before the end of his term.

      Sorry but Glenn Beck has simply allowed his personal religious beliefs and desires to support a fellow Mormon interfere with his objectivity and in doing so shredded his credibility as far as I’m concerned.

      One need only look at his actions as Governor to understand that Mitt Romney and Barack Obama are essentially the same person when it comes to positions and policies and Romney’s recently adopted pale hue “conservatism” are merely campaign contrivances.

      If Mitt Romney is the nominee I will not vote for him and will instead write in Sarah Palin’s name knowing full well Obama will win a second term and it won’t be in any substantive way different from a Romney first term would have been.

    • And its statements like that which will allow Obama another four years. There is a difference between being conservative and being Libertarian. You can be conservative without being a libertarian. The problem is that the majority of libertarians think you need to be both in order to be conservative. The majority of conservatives are weary of Ron Paul because he goes far beyond what their own views of conservatism are. This is the reason why the majority will go with Newt or Mitt simply because Ron is simply too much for them.

      To say you won’t vote or will write in Paul, if Paul does not get the nomination, or some other nonsense like that is throwing the election to Obama. And that is something no conservative wants, be they someone who became conservative simply because they saw the direction Obama is taking the nation and want to stop it, as many did after the 08 election or if they’re hardcore libertarians.

    Exactly! There are two types of GOP voters: Ron Paul supporters and non-Ron Paul supporters and “ABOs” (Anybody but Obama). At least the ABOs will have the good sense to vote for Ron Paul IF he gets the nomination, but that’s the battle; i.e., getting the nomination. Ron Paul will win the general election in a landslide without question, because of his broad, unwavering support, a lot of crossover Dems, and the ABOs. Having said that, the “non-Ron Paul” GOP supporters need to understand that they cannot win without Ron Paul supporters. Ron Paul supporters are not ABOs! They will not vote for anyone other than Ron Paul, so if you non-Ron Paul voters want to prevent Obama Part II, you’d better get onboard Ron Paul’s campaign now. Believe it.

The policies that are hurting our country will continue under Gingrich, who supports the endless wars, the big bank bailouts, the erosion of our of our liberties through unconstitutional bills like the Patriot act and the National Defense Authorization Act. I voted for McCain in 2008, not because I believed in him but because he was the nominee. Not this time.

    The fact that the Republican Party refuses to nominate a Constitutional Conservative and would allow that person to run as a third party candidate speaks volumes about the sad state of the American electorate. Those Republicans who claim to be “conservative” but don’t support Ron Paul are frauds. And please stop with the nonsense that Paul’s non-interventionist foreign policy is not conservative. Open a book for Christ’s sake. The Republican Party wasn’t always the war party. It was the Democrats for the majority of the 20th century initiating wars overseas. The Old Right was non-interventionist and always questioned and stood against the foreign adventurism of the Democrats. The GOP used to be the party of restraint. The new Republican foreign policy of trying to replace the Democrats as the war party is a relatively new phenomenon.

    Obviously, Glenn Beck would rather see Obama achieve a second term

  • Beck, I used to like you but no more. Why don’t you just come out for Obama? Vote for him, then all of your catastrophic prophecies will come true and you’ll look like the second coming on Nostradamus. Maybe that’s what your after, after all. A giant I told you so, engineered by you. Who’s good enough for the great Glen Beck? George Washington’s dead pal. Face reality.

  • Gee thanks, Glenn. You will GIVE the election to Obama if you do this. Sometimes you have to take part of the loaf even if it has started getting moldy. I normally agree with most everything you say and do, but this is stupid.

  • I’m with Beck. I was thinking the same thing the other day. I could never vote for a dirtbag like Newt. The man is immoral. Where are your principals?

  • Robert Childers

    Don’t settle for Newt! Demand Better. Listen to what Beck says, He is saying Since Newt feels FDR was the best president in History! Go look it up.

    • Currently it is clear to me there are 3 front runners.

      Romney – this guy is McCain, no gonads to call out Obama. Just look at how he lost to Kennedy when simply pointing out his opponents imoral behavior would have won the election. He also didn’t have the nads to veto Romneycare and force the legislature to overide his veto, imagine where he would be in race today if he had done just that.

      Paul – sorry but this dude is completely isolationist on foriegn policy, you all think 911 was bad, imagine a world where we have our heads in the sand.

      Gingrich – adultery – not a game changer and from what I understand he has married the next woman, that says to me he was mentally done with current relationship and had moved on before divorce finalized. record – seems to me without Newts house we would not have had balanced budgets under Clinton. The single largest issue we have is SPENDING – I see his record as a positive on this front.

      The main stream media wants to dictate our candidate, hence the hatchet job on Mr. Cain. They have a vastly inflated opinion of Obama’s intellect and therefore his debate skills, this leaves them woefully under estimating Gingrich.

      I believe all 3 would rid us of onerous regulations imposed executively by Obama, Dodd Frank bill and Obamacare. All three will seat judges and potentially justices that are conservative. Newt is the only one that can stomp Obama in debates, and lets face the facts, we need a candidate that will call Obama on his record and relationships. I know Romney won’t do it and I know Paul will end up babbling about the FED instead.

  • Tom Hannaford

    Ya know, just voting for whoever because they’re “not obama” is a guaranteed way to put someone just as bad as him (if not worse) in the office. Newt is the Republican version of Obama: Statist phony who has delusions of grandeur! If Newt is the best we can do, we might as well vote third party to send the GOP a message that this kind of crap won’t suffice anymore, and from there we can focus on strengthening our position in congress and look towards nominating someone good in 2016…

    If we don’t kill Obamacare with this election there is no turning back. It sucks voting for the lesser of two evils, but Obama is a much greater evil than Newt. Obamacare, Dodd-Frank, the NLRB and the EPA are all keeping this economy from recovering. We desperately need to get rid of Obama no matter what. Despite his weaknesses, Newt would be a huge improvement.

    • Well said, someone who understands the damage Obama is inficting via the executive powers and will continue to do so if re-elected.

  • cgearhar

    My feeling is a second term Obama, hampered by a Republican House and perhaps even a Republic Senate, is preferable to a President Gingrich who would implement the same policies with full House and Senate approval. That’s why I’m STILL voting for Ron Paul.

  • I see Glenn’s point. Unless there a strict conservative in the White House when the financial cataclysm hits in 2012/2013, it’s a matter of blame game and who is in the white house is going to be tarred and feathered. I rather see Obama’s picture in the history books for this event then some frugal socialistic GOPer’s. If we elect a strict conservative, then America has a chance to recover, there will be no hope if we elect the same old agenda that has brought us to the threshold of this global financial cataclysm.

      Regardless of who “your guy” is, if you support a third party or don’t hold your nose and vote for whomever the Republican party chooses, then you are GUARANTEEING an Obama second term. I will crawl over broken glass to vote for Bozo the clown if he’s running against Obama!!!!!!

    How about we all run to the polls and VOTE FOR RON PAUL??? wouldn’t that be the right thing to do here…. I believe Ron is the man for the job and he will do the right thing for America.

  • Only a moron or fake conservative would vote against the Republican nominee and for Ron Paul or anyone running in a third party, thus ensuring an Obama victory. Whiny pissants like Beck are at their core frauds and sensationalists, wrapped up in their own egos, like babies seeking attention for getting their soiled diapers changed. I also put O’Reilly in this category. They are the “Mold and Mush Tour,”
    complete fakes.

    I can’t stand Romney. But I’d vote for him or even Huntsman or any Republican nominee before I’d go third party. That said, I will vote for Newt or Santorum in the primary.

    • dude your the most sane person on this forum these ron paul idiots make me sick and beck is an oppurtunist who will cry for a buck

  • PoliticsAlabama

    Nope, sorry. I decided long ago that bad candidates would not get my vote. When it was Obama v McCain, I voted for neither. If it is Obama v Gingrich or Romney, I will again vote for neither. Either Newt or Romney would be a bad President, and neither is likely to try very hard at all to reduce spending, reduce regulations, and reduce the size and scope of government… which is what this nation badly needs.

    We need a candidate who wants to balance the budget TODAY, not in 20 or more years.

    Did Beck say anything about endorsing Ron Paul in the primaries? It’s puzzling to me that so many people focus on a possible but unlikely Ron Paul 3rd-party run and ignore him in the GOP primary.

    • Who would be a good candidate, and how do we get that person to run?

  • I have read all the bashing of Glenn and bashing of his Ron Paul statement, but where I am confused with the lot of those who are supporting, or at least defending, Newt is this:

    Who sounds more like Ron Reagan or Calvin Coolidge?

    Who sounds more like our FOUNDING fathers?

    And, to make a final point, we didn’t attack Russia before they got the nuke, but we are strongly talking about doing it to Iran. And, yes, I know what you are gonna say, they want to wipe out Israel, but Russia wanted to wipe US OFF THE PLANET!! Reagan knew all out war wasn’t gonna win, but to do a build up(sounds similar to Ron Paul’s stance, if you were to actually pay attention to what he wants to do) and show strength through our forces(not actually battle), and, funny enough, drilled oil on our side of the world(something Michelle Bachman wants to do), and tanked the oil market(what Russia used to back their money supply during Reagan).

    Now, don’t get me wrong, I support Ron Paul, but know he isn’t charismatic enough to win(because the masses want young/good looking for POTUS). So, if it comes to it, if we vote for a progressive(Newt/Romney/Obama), what can we expect?

    I would almost bank my life that we would see little to no difference from where we are now, in terms of heading the right way. In other words, we won’t see a retraction in Obamacare, and, we will continue with the high regulations we have now, which in turns keeps unemployment high, if not higher than it is now.

    Are you all prepared for what could happen if Newt’s record, not what he says in a debate, comes to fruition? What about Romney? Or how about Rick Perry’s record? I would take Bachman over those three, and I worry she would get pounded by Obama. If record is what we have to go on, then we are pretty well screwed this go around, and Obama is gonna win, whether or not he is in office.

    And as sad as it is, Ron Paul’s record with the earmarks(as trivial as I take it as), is far from voting in regualtions and higher taxes(or fees as Perry puts it). And, at least Paul has the gumption to say we need to cut 1trillion(by far more than the rest put together) out of the budget the first year.

  • Beck, you must be drinking again. Your FOX TV show was stupid, comments like voting for Paul are stupid, therefore you must be stupid or drunk!

  • When you vote the lesser of 2 evils in the end you still get – evil. As long as we vote the lesser the system will keep putting up these progressives in conservative’s clothing and give us a false choice. When you settle on a candidate get ready to settle on results. #RonPaul2012

  • What if the Republican nomination were a progressive lefty in (R) clothing? I think that is what Beck is talking about, and he won’t vote for another fake Conservative(remember McCain?). Obama wins if Newt or Romney win, cause they wont backtrack on the incantations he has built.

  • Chris Mallory

    So a war with Iran that sends gas prices to $12 a gallon is better? Iran is no threat to the US. Paul wants us to return to the foreign policy the founders had, not the foreign policy of the progressives. War is not a conservative idea, it is progressive all the way.

    It stands to benefit someone like Glenn Beck a whole lot more for Obama to get re-elected. He’ll have much more to talk about with another disastrous four years of Obama than being faced with castigating republicans (for many of the same actions — sadly and ironically). With that in mind, I like Dr. Paul and agree with him on most issues, but he’s not the right person for the job.

  • Acornman

    Beck usually has something helpful to say. In some cases he steps into it worse than Newt. Beck needs to focus on making non-perfect candidates better by riding them hard. Let’s first wait to see if a non-newt is primary-ed before we act. Newt is far better than Obama, and we can always challenge him in a primary if he is his liberal self. Better to be fighting someone from the middle than left.

  • Ron Paul 2012!!! Newt and Obama are two wings of the same bird. Big government bird.

  • Something must have happened to Glenn Beck. He seems to have lost contact with reality. It’s a shame, since he always had good stuff on his show on FOX. A third party would simply hand the election to O’Blamer and end the USA as we know it.

  • Anonymous

    The hatred of Obama is blinding Republicans. Everyone wants to defeat Obama so badly that it’s clouding our judgement. Obama’s defeat is an understandable short term goal. But the right wing needs to decide on the future of the Republican Party. Will the GOP continue to be just another version of the Democrats? Will the party continue to be for big government and big spending? Will we continue to advocate for endless overseas adventurism even though we can not afford it? If the goal is always to win the next election, then we’re more likely to elect a big government country club Republican because we think that’s the type of candidate that can win. But if we’re always just about winning the next election and maintaing/regaining power, when does the GOP ever move back to its roots of conservatism, both at home and abroad? Many Republicans refuse to support Ron Paul because they feel he is unelectable or they disagree with his foreign policy. But in your heart, you know he’s right. The country is bankrupt. Ron Paul is the only candidate whose policies reflect the dire situation in which we currently find ourselves. The federal government needs to be cut drastically at home and the foreign adventurism needs to be reigned in. If we continue on this path, the economy will collapse. Our armed forces will be forced to retreat because we will be unable to fund the military. Better to regroup now then retreat later when we’re unable to defend ourselves.

  • Raymond Scheel

    The media knowing we will vote for the lesser of two evils is why they keep picking our candidates even in the primaries. In the latest debate, Ron Paul was still allowed about 1/3 the time than two other candidates got (and only half that of another), even though the latest key polls show him placing second. As others have said, if the GOP again conspires to prevent a true conservative from being nominated, then I would rather have Obama blamed for what is coming rather than have the idea of conservative policy blame falsely for what we will get from the candidates the media and the GOP establishment consider “acceptable”. If the GOP won’t nominate a constitutional conservative this time, then the GOP is no longer the party for those who would like to see such candidates elected.

    This election is NOT about getting Obama out of the White house, it is about righting our country and about restoring our God-given freedoms and liberties. We cannot just vote for someone besides Obama, we must vote for THE BEST PERSON, the one most familiar with the Constitution, the one most interested in restoring America to her former glory, the one who truly wants to reduce the government to it’s Constitutional size (a size that requires NO federal income tax – that’s a 0% plan!!). A RINO or a moderate WILL NOT bring the change that we NEED or WANT, it will only bring more of the same and simply delay the inevitable slide into full-bore socialism. If it is a choice between a RINO or a moderate or Obama, I say we give Obama another 4 years and maybe, just maybe, “We The People” will be awake enough and frustrated enough, to take this seriously.

    Ok, this is a bit boring, but out of respect for discourse, I will try to explain something to you. I NEVER CALLED BECK A RACIST. My first post to you stated that Beck himself used the race card as a tool. That does NOT mean he is a racist. It means he used something that he had no right to use to prove a point. Please try to stay focused.

    At first, you told someone Beck never called the Tea Party racist (go back and listen to the tape). That’s where I stepped in and said he used racism as a tool. Where you could get that I called him a racist is beyond me. Unless, of course, you are just making things up only to be argumentative. In which case, you’re not worth the effort to dialoque with.

    Now if any of my words were too big for you, please let me know and I’ll explain. Otherwise, try to have a coherent thought. I don’t mind idiots accusing me of something, but it better be something I did, not something you made up. You’re just wasting my time and everybody else’s air.

    When Newt became speaker of the house, he did many things that made him a conservative hero, then he imploded. Newt is a conservative, no doubt in my mind. However, Glenn Beck is right too. We need someone who will take the federal government around the neck and wring it. That is the only way to stop the spiral we are on. Without that, it does not matter whether Newt or Oba are in the White House, the country will collapse. We know Newt has the brains but does he have the moral courage to do it. Courage is the commodity that can’t be shown in a debate. And it will take more courage than Audie Murphy to stop the collapse of our government.

    It is NOT conceivable that the GOP caucus goers and the delegates across America would vote for anyone that would co=sponsor a bill with the likes of Barney Franks to legalize drugs, nor would these extremely informed conservatives be likely to vote for anyone that would blatantly blather and suggest that 911 was done by anyone but the Islamists’ extremeists, nor would they likely vote for anyone that would deny that the holocaust existed. For the most part, these caucus goers are died in the wool lifelong conservative Repulicans that have their heads screwed on straight.
    They KNOW Newt Gingrich to be the problem solver that he is. We sure do not need an old lady like Ron Paul drawing the wagons in a circle and proposing a bill that would further dumb down America by making drugs available. All the countires that have tried making drugs legal have since reversed this destructive law.

      Ron Paul supports the decriminalization of marijuana at the federal level. It is a states rights issue and a public health issue. Just because you need the nanny state to tell you what to ingest doesn’t make you a conservative.

      Ron Paul doesn’t think that anyone but Islamic terrorists was behind 09/11. In fact, he is willing to tell the American people the truth, that blowback from the federal government’s foreign policy helps to cause terrorist attacks of which we are the victims. The CIA, the 9/11 Commission, and the majority of counter-terrorism experts agree with that conclusion. But I guess you preferred to be lied to. If it makes you feel better, you can continue to believe they attack us because of our freedoms. But that doesn’t make you a conservative.

      And Ron Paul isn’t a holocaust denier. Just because Ron Paul questions the entangling alliance with Israel doesn’t mean he is an anti-semite. He just places Americans safety and prosperity above all others. That makes him a patriot.

But I guess that won’t be good enough for you though right? You need a FEDERAL LAW to keep you from trying heroin!!! Effing pinhead…

    People said Obama couldn’t win but his supporters got behind him, held rallies, campaigned on “hope and change”, spread the word and in spite of his lack of qualifications and America’s supposed racism – HE WON.

    It’s a sad day when the progressives and liberals are more principled and committed to their cause than conservatives.

  • Newt is no different than Obama. Why waste a vote on a guy who will destroy the Republican Party? Either Obama fights for single payer mandate, bailouts and big spending, and works with corrupt lobbyists or Newt does. Why does having a destructive force with a (R) behind his name make us better than having a destructive force with a (D)? If the president is going to ruin the country, might as well let that president be a democrat instead of a republican.

        I agree, however, that running a third party candidate destroys the chance at removing Obama from office however a Gingrich presidency would not reverse our “progressive” culture in this country. A Gingrich presidency would barely prove to be a road block for it.

        Besides, aren’t we all nearly in agreement that all registered R’s are going to vote AND vote R? The republican party has a range of identifiable subgroups but the one thing that is universally agreed upon is that Obama MUST go. So doesn’t that very fact make Ron Paul at least remotely electable? Of course it does!

        This is why spreading the word about Ron Paul’s virtues is important. America needs him to win the primaries.

    Ron Paul’s foreign policy is no more important than that of Lucas Papademos’s (new Premier of Greece): insisting on maintaining the foreign policy of a bankrupt nation is an homage to insanity.

    Once President Ron Paul gets America’s domestic economics under control (in part by terminating five federal departments), we can then consider replacing him in 2016 with someone fit to resume conquering the universe.

  • I’m glad some of you want to wait until 2016, but what do you think 4-6 trillion more of debt is going to do to this economy in the meantime? Guess what? All those policies liberals are mad at Obama for not doing yet is what he’s going to be doing second term, so you ‘we’ll just wait til 2016 so MAYBE we will get the candidate we want’ are just willing to watch the country burn on a CHANCE. Meanwhile, if newt’s as bad as you say and that candidate is there in 2016 he can just replace newt, or whoever the President is. I sense the right is going to shoot itself in the foot and give obama this election to prove their idealogical purity. You guys do realize that he’s already close to having half the country dependent on the government as it is? Once there are enough dependents who will vote there’s no chance of winning elections, and future demographics don’t look to help republicans either. It’s win now or face future irrelevance.

      Amen someone with reality.

  • So the last Tea Party gathering I went to (admittedly many many months ago…. ) Newt had just said or done something stupid.. I don’t remember specifics.. right at the beginning of the election cycle he said something that angered the GOP base and without exception everyone there at the TP gathering was calling Newt the biggest Rino there was and how he needed to retire a long time ago, and career politicians are what they are fighting against in Washington.. overall everyone was saying ‘Newt needs to learn how to shut up’.

    And I am finding it hard to imagine after that experience, that the Tea Party has now embraced the man they were calling the biggest career politician RINO that needs to learn how to shut up and is part of the old guard that is now the stick in the mud.

    Anyone have clarification on what the Tea Party (in general) really thinks of Newt? I can’t imagine after what I witnessed so many jumping on his bandwagon just a few months later as the wind blows.. something doesn’t smell right.

      The issue you’re referring to was likely Gingrich bashing Paul Ryan’s plan as “right wing social engineering”. He took a lot of heat for that with the right wing. But people have short memories. In the first few debates, Newt called out the media for “gotcha questions” and all of a sudden the GOP became enamored with him. As if a few one-liners is all that is needed to be the POTUS. It’s a sad commentary on the shallowness of the American electorate.

      • Yes.. thanks for the memory clarification.. I do believe that was the incident..

  • Can you please explain why Newt would be any better than Obama… I’m hoping Ron Paul gets the GOP, but if he doesn’t, then why would I want Newt instead of Obama?

  • Beck is only concerned about the message, not the outcome. For that I think he’s lost it. Paul is dangerous for this country, and splitting the vote is even more dangerous. I’m appauled!

    • I’m with Beck on this one. That is rare, but in this case, I would rather see a 2nd Obama turn than to ever vote for Socialist Light, ever again. It seems our populace NEVER gets tired of electing skilled liars to office. Ron Paul is the only one who’s word has been consistently accurate. We deserve BHO #2 if we even consider Gingrich or Romney.

  • Newt Gingrich wants the Constitution to die. This is not hyperbole, it’s in black and white…

    In 1995, Gingrich wrote the foreword to the book Creating a New Civilization: The Politics of the Third Wave by authors Alvin and Heidi Toffler. Gingrich “urged all Americans to read” this book. Here’s an excerpt…

    “For this wisdom above all, we 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.”

    Gingrich supporters: How do you justify this?

    RON PAUL is the ONLY candidate that puts freedom, liberty, and America before himself. He is the ONLY candidate I have any faith in to avoid corruption, crony capitalism, and pandering to a national committee. He is the ONLY candidate to openly support the simple and logical answers to the mounting problems that face the United States called for by the average American. He is the ONLY candidate I trust to reign in government’s trespasses on individuals’ liberties and to shrink the size of the system financially.

    RON PAUL is not the Republican Party’s favored candidate. Instead, Ron Paul is the candidate for the silent majority. Ron Paul is the People’s candidate.

  • Exactly.

    Glenn, buddy, time to step back away from the microphone and get a grip on reality. Encouraging Ron Paul to run as a third-party candidate is guaranteeing Obama’s re-election. That’s the problem with those that naively believe they are following their “principles” vice recognizing the reality of the situation. They guarantee things will only get worse.

Every President in my adult lifetime has been worse for our country than the one before him, yet it seems folks like you can’t wait to line up to vote for “more of the same.” Ron Paul is the only candidate who can save our economy, our Country, and perhaps the World. With age and the Internet comes wisdom. I see that you have access to the Internet. Perhaps one day you will have wisdom as well.

          I loved Ronald Reagan. He gave me a 20% pay raise shortly after taking office. He defeated the Soviets in the Cold War; perhaps the greatest feat of any President in the History of the U.S. But he spent $2.5 Trillion dollars to do it and in doing so, set a precedent for unlimited Gov’t borrowing and printing. But don’t take my word for it. Don’t take Ron Paul’s word for it. Check it out on the Internet and watch the video on Youtube IOUSA.

It’s funny how everyone knows what a kook propaganda outfit it NBC is and dismisses everything they say right up until they find something that serves their own purpose. The left wing Obama sycophant media has been trying to pick the easiest target for him to pick off from the beginning and now that they realize Romney will never get any traction they’re going for the Paul.

      Go look at the results of a real polling organization like Rasmussen as see who can and can not beat Romney.

And I read on this forum that people will “crawl over glass” to hold their nose and vote for Newt. And we wonder why the country is so screwed up!

  • Sorry to burst many bubbles out there, but Ron Paul is currently polling 2nd in Iowa as a REPUBLICAN; not a 3rd party candidate. There is plenty of time for him to surpass Newt for #1 in Iowa. For some reason, many of you would rather keep being used and lied to by establishment candidates, than to give a chance to the only honest one in the bunch. Whatever happens, we deserve what we elect.

More big government, more spending millions in nation building and killing thousands of people in foreign lands, and more intervention/control into our daily lives.

    If I’m going to sit through another four years of horrible waste and bad economy then I will do so with a clear conscience knowing that I didn’t follow the idiotic mantra of anybody but Obama. Also translated into talk show speak: Anybody but Obama except for Paul.

    Keep letting the “conservative” idiot mouthpieces (Hannity, Levine, etc.) lead you down the same path while they tell you this time there will be real changes. Trudge forward like good sheeple and vote for any of three (Obama, Gingrich, Romney) and in the end it will all come out looking and smelling the same.

The U.S. is not Israel’s big brother. If it’s necessary for them to defend themselves with a preemptive strike, then they should do it. Pounding their chest in public will no longer suffice. The U.S. is tired of being ISRAEL’S “muscle”. Israel needs to stop kowtowing to Obama and the EU. In the long run, this strategy has weakened them.

    Beck, if you truly believed in the Constitution, then you would jump up and down endorsing the ONLY Constitutional candidate we have. He does not flip flop on his views. He has steadfastly denounced the Federal Reserve for the “personal property” stealing illegal entity that THEY ARE!
    Only the truly “mentally challenged” do not see.
    Without the ability to print money without end, this massive debt, and huge Government, would not have been possible. If we end the ability to print, the majority of our problems go away. It is late in the game, but better to start now and end the tyranny.
    You are not a Patriot when you take a Cafeteria approach to the Constitution.

    Quite frankly, the solution to our Federal Reserve problem is very simple.
    The central banks of the world suppress the gold price to maintain the confidence in the “Fiat” system of Dollars.
    The central banks own most all of the gold in the world.
    The central banks of the world own VERY LITTLE SILVER.
    The supply of silver is very small.
    With enough people(your audience Glenn)bought SILVER, AND demanded an end to the FED, AND a return to Constitutional money, this corrupt system of fiat money would end.
    Silver & Gold are sister metals, where one goes the other soon follows.

    We are being attacked on every front, and you want to hide behind your mommies skirt!
    We need to stand up now and make demands to keep our Liberties! We need to give those demands ” TEETH” by buying Constitutional Money.

    The second amendment gives the Constitution “TEETH”!

    Newt embodies everything that is wrong with big government. No one has even considered whether he would be good for the country! Electing Newt will have resonating and disasterous effects on the liberty seeking “Tea Partyers.” All the progress that has been made will be abandoned because the D’s trumpcard will be, for another 20 years, “you [all] voted for Newt Gingrich.”

    Newt= Business As Usual/Greedy/Corrupt
    Mitt= RINO
    PAUL= The ANSWER

    Spread the word about Ron Paul. He is only ‘unelectable’ because the media has created a group mentality which hypnotized us that care to think “he would never win so why would I waste my vote?”. If the primary voters cast ballots with their hearts they won’t be disappointed. Let the campaign teams play political chess to unseat Obama AFTER we get the candidate that we trust to do the job right once he wins it.

            Bad analogy. Neville Chamberlain didn’t have a nearly 100 year history of installing and uninstalling puppet regimes in Germany. We have an extensive history of supporting militarism, despotism, and terrorism in the Middle East. Not to mention, you’re arguing against yourself bringing up cultural differences. The 9/11 hijackers were Saudi and I do believe Saudi’s just executed a woman for, get this, “sorcery.” We LOVE Saudi Arabia. Are POTUS’s all kiss and bow to them. We are totally inconsistent and goofy with who we do and don’t support in the Middle East and don’t really care who is even paying attention. People who have their roofs collapsed in on their families do. Denying the blowback concept and rejecting cause and effect is a talent I see rampant in your cynical type of conservatism. I’ll leave with another very practical reason why our militarism sucks. We are nearing $1 Trillion in cost for the Iraq occupation (just Iraq). That is $1 Million/day FOR 3000 YEARS. Our economy is tanking and many here want to continue spending like drunken sailors. When it costs $600 to fill up your F-150 because we HAAAAD to protect little Israel, I hope you have a big smile on your face because it was worth it.

        • Also, I really can’t support someone who will say that Pres Bush was ecstatic over 9/11 which killed thousands of Americans.

        Our tax system is the foundation for our failing economic policy as well as our immigration issues.

        The following quote is directly from RonPaul2012.com, his official campaign website: “While a Flat Tax or a Fair Tax would each be a better alternative to the income tax system, Congressman Paul believes we would have to guarantee the 16th Amendment is repealed to avoid having both the income tax and one of these systems as an additional tax.”

        The flat consumption tax is precisely what EVERY LEGITIMATE CONTEMPORARY ECONOMIST SUPPORTS. If you do not know about H.R. 25, The Fair Tax, I highly suggest picking up a book on it. I read the second installment on a 6 hr plane flight. We can discuss after.

    Here’s the deal, I’m voting for Ron Paul. I don’t care if he’s the republican nominee or an independent. I will not follow you or the republicans. Many of us feel the same way. So, I’m turning the tables on you. You vote with us or give obama a second term. obama is a puppet and incompetent. Newt is a greedy, immoral, psychopath. If obama gets a second term, it’s your fault. It’ll be a cold day in hell before I vote for the eye of newt. Ron Paul is our only chance. Why do I hate Newt?

    Eighty-four charges of ethics violations. House banking scandal; Newt bounced 22 checks -GOPAC sleaze: Taxpayer subsidies for his partisan campaign course -Lobbyist (historian? Lol) -Relentlessly pushes military spending – Flip-flopper -Draft dodger -Serial Adultery -Presenting cancer-sick wife with divorce just prior to surgery. The hospital visit wasn’t the end of it, either. Jackie had to take Newt to court to get him to contribute for bills, as utilities were about to be cut off. Quote: “I don’t want him to be president and I don’t think he should be.” – Newt’s wife Marianne.
    Newt worked for Rockefeller in ’68 opposing Goldwater. Sen. Barry Goldwater wrote in his book With No Apologies: “Does it not seem strange to you that these men just happened to be CFR (Council on Foreign Relations) and just happened to be on the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve, that absolutely controls the money and interest rates of this great country. A privately owned organization … which has absolutely nothing to do with the United States of America!” In case you didn’t know, Rockefeller funded the CFR and now Newt’s a member. It’s also possible that the Rockefellers are stock holders of the Federal Reserve. I’ll bet Newt still works for them.
    Newt wants you to surrender your thumb print in order to purchase a firearm. Sounds like a national registry to me. In addition, he’s soft on illegal immigration. Have we forgotten how much we used to hate this guy in the 90’s?

    If Newt won the Republican nomination and Thomas Jefferson ran third party, would you still vote for Newt? The point is the majority of Republicans care nothing about principles, otherwise they would never have supported Grinch or Romney to begin with. These are the same voters who once had extreme liberal supporter Donald Trump at the top of the polls, for chrissakes. My guess is, if Obama switched to the Republican Party, they would support him in the general election and claim he is the new Tea Party candidate. It’s not about principles for them. It’s a football game. It’s about the red team versus the blue team and nothing else matters.

    Well, if winning is all they care about, they should check out the latest poll posted below by Ron Wheeler: Ron Paul is the only candidate with a shot against Obama…all other candidates trail by 7 points or more.

    Every four years, if there is a potential third-party candidate the argument comes up… One side says, if we keep voting for whomever the Republican Party puts forward, they will continue to not care about our concerns–they will continue to run progressives instead of conservatives. And the response is, “but if you vote third party you’re guaranteeing a win for Carter… Clinton… Obama.”

    Every cycle that includes this debate the Democrat’s candidate gets worse than the prior one. And ever cycle, the Republicans field another milk-toast progressive that the conservatives have to hold their nose and vote for. The only way to end the cycle is by leaving the Republican Party if they choose to put forward another progressive.

    The next Democrat we have to have this discussion about will be worse than Obama — if America still exists at that point.

          Or, perhaps, you really don’t like economic stability civil liberties and peace.

      Besides that…there’s really not a big difference between Newt and Obama. They are both for big government, economic and foreign interventionism and continual wars and bloodshed.

  • I actually like Newt, a lot. He makes a lot of sense on many issues, however, after wandering away from Mitt(to Herman, then Newt) I’ve returned home back to Mitt. Why? He may not be the most idealogically conservative candidate up on stage, but he’s still VERY conservative on the things that really matter. I also feel he’s the most equipped to solve our nations problems. His expertise is taking an entity, analyzing it, find out where savings can be found and making it profitable again. In short, he eliminates WASTE. He always flies coach on airlines, he’s a penny pincher by nature. The only thing he’s exorbitant on, is his wife and family. He doesn’t buy things for himself that he doesn’t need. Mitt certainly has flaws, but really, they’re not that relevant to his presidency candidacy. He’s the most fit for the job and he’s squeaky clean. He’s lived a life of service, virtue and shown true leadership skills in all that he’s achieved. Mitt Romney is the best candidate to defeat Obummer and fix our nation.

    • If Romney kills Obamacare, passes cut, cap, and balance, and then passes Medicare reform like he says he would, then I would be a happy camper. These are important steps to get Federal growth and power under control.

  • You people that don’t like Newt are INSANE! Acting like Newt is worse than Obama is delusional. He balanced the FREAKING Budget and ended welfare as we know it. He put together the first Rep house and Senate in 60 years. His accomplishments are legend and you people bitch and moan about what? I can’t even figure out what the hell you are talking about. It’s some sort of mass insanity. Every primary we go through the same thing. My guy can’t win so I will vote 3rd party or stay home. It’s ridiculous! We’ve had rapists, communists, and probably a murderer in the WH before and people worry about Newt getting a divorce. FDR had a freaking mistress living in the WH and you know about Kennedy and Monroe.

    • Newt is anti-second amendment and pro-TSA and Patriot Act. Newt supports amnesty and sanctuary for illegal aliens. Newt supports universal health care and the individual mandate. Newt believes the constitution is outdated and worthy of reform.

      Sounds like Obama and Newt have a lot in common.

      • Anonymous

        Indeed ! Those who so support the ‘Patriot Act’ ( such as ‘Newt-Romney ‘ ) need a history lesson. The Stamp Act was the last straw and one of the reasons we fought the Revolutionary War. In it British soldiers were granted permission to write their own warrants ( without probable cause and evidence presented to a Judge ).

        The 4th amendment is in direct response to this. Now, however, the ‘Patriot Act’ has taken that away and gives federal agents the right to write their own search warrants ( without presenting evidence to a Judge ).

        case in FACT :

        So support for ‘Newt-Romney’ = support for the Police State.

  • So Beck writes this whole book with Dr. Albow, “Seven Wonders” which basically plots a path of human redemption. I very much enjoyed it and it meant a lot to me.

    Then Beck completely forgets what he wrote, forgets that human beings are redeemable, that they grow and change with time and age. Beck’s not saying “I’ve considered the Gingrich I’ve seen in the last few months, and I do not believe that he has changed.” He’s just saying “I don’t like the Newt from the past and I’m assuming that this one’s no different.”

    Something very strange going on here. The anti-Newt chorus keeps getting shriller and shriller. Tell me, Glenn Beck, what is it about Ron Paul who blames America for 9/11 do you love? What is it about Mitt Romney who would make a great running mate for Obama do you love? All the criticism I’ve heard of Newt is what he did 15 years ago. He is now articulating a vision for America that I want. Ronald Reagan got similar criticism as I remember. He, too, was divorced and mocked as a values candidate. He turned out pretty well.

    • Anonymous

      Ron Paul doesn’t blame America for 09/11. He’s just warning Americans that terrorist attacks against US citizens is blowback from the interventionist foreign policy of the federal government. Ron Paul didn’t make this up on his own, this is the conclusion reached by the CIA, the 9/11 Commission, and the majority of counter-terrorism experts.

      • When Newt says that FDR was the greatest and best president in the 20th century it should cause conservatives everywhere to perk up. When Newt calls himself a Wilsonian it should cause conservatives everywhere to realize that Newt is a Washington progressive in conservative clothing. Newt supported a NATIONAL MANDATE on health insurance until he flip flopped against it when his campaign fell apart a few months ago. Not 15 years ago, a few months ago.

    I am really disappointed in Glenn Beck recently. I was a regular viewer (recorded his shows) when he was on FOX. However, during the past few weeks of listening to his rants on the radio, and his steady commercials about his books, shirts, mugs etc I have decided to pass on GBTV. I believe Glenn seriouly needs some time off. He is probably going to prove himself to be right once again. But, I just do not have the same level of trust I once had. By the way, Gingrich would not be my top choice…. But I will vote for whoever the GOP candidate is….. No third party, and definitely NO OBAMA!

    Glenn Beck is an idiot for even saying this. He might hate the idea of a Gingrich presidency, but he’d hate even more four more years of Obama. But hey, could this be selfishness on Beck’s part?

Sorry, Glenn, but this one was easy to figure out.

    3rd Party? Ron Paul in Foreign Policy is an ISOLATIONIST. Israel would be distroyed and so would we. Israel as a Nation State was established in 1450 BCE at Horeb, the Philistines (ie Palestinians ..this is the Latinized version) died out by the time of the Macedonian Empire.Modern Philistinians are Arabs from the Ottoman Era, who were given land from parts of Egypt and Trans-Jordan in 1948. They are not Philistinians, but of the same blood and kinship as their Egyptian (Gaza) and Jordanian (Jordanian West Bank brethren historically. Since Foreign invasion and intervention by Assyria and Chaldaea, the National Borders of Judah (Judaea) and Israel (Samaria and the Galil and Golan) have been redrawn….all the way to 1948. The Nation of Judaea/Israel has never been wiped out, and has survived in the Land and throughout the Diaspora. I will never vote for anyone who denies this or remains nuetral on this. The USA and others in the UN re-established the Nation State and Land back to the Hebrew Nation in 1948….and must stand behind this. From 1948 until now. Israel has been under seige by the Muslim Nation we carved into States after WWI & II. Israel has, by defensive victories, reclaimed dominion of the entire Land of Israel, but has offered the Arabs of Gaza and the Jordanian West Bank their right to Independence and Autonomy so long as they recant and renounce their goal of destroying the Nation State of Israel and absorbing it’s present Borders and Territory into a Greater Philistinia…….this has and will fail…..Islam does not want Peace or Israel…it wants total dominion and subjection. Glenn….you are dead wrong about voting for Ron Paul. I am a Constititionalist Concervative Libertarian…..not a Neo-Concervative, but a Theo-Conservative. I have been with you all the way until now. Vote 3rd Party and re-elect the Obama-nation of Desolation….3rd Party is a protest, not progress in our goal of re-establishing Constitutional Federalism and State autonomy. This is a Sad Day when you cannot see this. I remeber Ross Perot…I worked for him and his Run……..never again will I divide the Vote for Authentic Federal leaedership……never. Sit out, Drop out or Vote out…..that is the way of hippies……not us Glen.

As far as your statement that if Ron Paul gained the presidency Israel and America would be destroyed…Please. Israel has one of the most modern militaries in the world and 100’s of nukes. Your weak grip of history going back to 1450 to declare Israel as a “Nation State” underscores the ridiculousness of your entire claim. You mention the Ottoman Empire and then make the statement that Muslims want nothing more but to destroy Israel. The Ottoman Empire existed for centuries with Christians, Muslims, and Jews living side by side peacefully. Your last statements are utterly ridiculous as well saying you are a Constitutional Conservative. You’re a NeoCon for sure but not a Constitutional Conservative. If you were, you would realize that Ron Paul is the only true Constitutional Conservative in the whole GOP field. You need to calm down with your psuedo-intellectual babble.

    Does that clear it up for you third-party haters?! If the Republicans don’t let Ron Paul get an equal chance, and they sure aren’t as of now, and are instead actively sabotaging Ron Paul’s chances along with their left-wing communist partners, then there is no Republican party and you might as well get what Republicans deserve, which is another Obama term.

    The fact that Republicans have been licking around the tush instead of impeaching these bastards in the Executive, including Holder, Napolitano, Pistole, and dear Leader is simpy proof-positive that the Republican establishment itself has been compromised and is as dirty and corrupt as the communist party (D). ‘Nuff said…

He supports a federal healthcare mandate, he supports TARP, and in some cases he’s switched sides on issues in just a matter of days. So to point to his record and say he has a conservative record. If he were running as a Democrat they could look at his record and say he has a liberal record. It’s time we look at the facts about Newt instead of what the media tells us.

  • Mack Daddy

    Chill a minute and think. Regarding Newt’s history and personal story a couple of points. 1) We all make mistakes and Newt is the only politician I can think of who has publicly said he made some mistakes. Specifically his dance with Pelosi on Global warming was an admitted mistake. Newt admits his mistakes (and learns from them), when has Romney or R. Paul done that? 2) in the 90’s, Newt was the person primarily responsible for a) getting welfare reform passed b) getting a Republican take over of the House and c) reduction in the growth of government. What has Ron Paul done that has had as much impact? What laws or changes in government has RP gotten passed? He may have some great ideas but if he can’t get a majority to work with him it doesn’t matter. What major piece of legislation has he gotten implemented? The media state over and over that Obama is “really smart” but he can’t survive without a teleprompter. Nobody has to claim Newt is smart, listen to him talk and it becomes obvious quickly. All of the candidates are human and Newt’s the only one still standing who’s seems to recognize that.

    • Ron Paul hasn’t had to apologize for his actions because he hasn’t strayed from his belief in the Constitution. Ron Paul is the reason that any of the candidates are even talking about the Federal Reserve and Austrian Economics. Ron Paul has at least gotten some within the Republican Party to think that our interventionist foreign policy might be destructive. In the last debates the other candidates recognized the impact that Ron Paul has had on the discussions they are having. Ron Paul got the audit of the Federal Reserve implemented. The audit is still coming up with secrets of trillions of dollars that the Fed printed out of thin air to bail out European and US banks, inflating the currency with the American people paying the cost. Ron Paul can get the majority to work with him because he is not limited by party lines. He believes in freedom and liberty. These are 2 ideals that go beyond party lines.

        Imagine if Ron Paul had a sliver of the checkered past Newt does. The establishment media would have shouted him down long ago. As much as they’d like for there to be any dirt on Dr. Paul, there isn’t any! We would know if he cheated on an addition test in 1st grade if it had happened.

      Newt is untrustworthy. Sure, everyone makes mistakes. But Newt continues to make mistakes. BIG ones. Individual mandates, carbon taxes, bailouts, lobbying efforts etc. These aren’t simple mistakes. They show a pattern of a politician who is willing to impose big government solutions. And his experience as Speaker is more of the same. He supported a lot of initiatives that grew the size/scope of the federal government. He is too dangerous to elect exactly because of his history. The best compiment you can give a politician is that they supported or passed very little legislation in Congress. That means they are likely acting in accordance with the Constitution. True conservatives don’t seek out progressive politicians looking for them to solve every problem in society.

    • Newt wants to legalize ILLEGALS, period. That itself should be enough for any of you. Also, this is him on the “issues”,

      1.Convert decommissioned military bases into prisons.
      2.More prisons, more enforcement, effective death penalty.
      (According to the U.S. Bureau of Justice Statistics, 2,292,133 adults were incarcerated in U.S. federal and state prisons, and county jails at year-end 2009 — about 1% of adults in the U.S. resident population.Additionally, 4,933,667 adults at year-end 2009 were on probation or on parole.)
      Mostly for drug offenses.
      Marijuana legalization would tear America apart. (Apr 2011)
      International drug traders use network for terrorist traffic. (Nov 2006)
      Increase penalties for illegal drugs. (Nov 1998)

If he gains the GOP nod, he will be character assassinated by the left. They’ll have ammo for days on Newt. Here it is again. If you like Newt, you can’t also call yourself a conservative.

      Anyone care to point out the differences on the major, substantive issues between Obama, Gingrich, and Romney? I sure as hell can’t find any.

      They all agree on foreign policy – drop bombs first, damn the innocent, and deny that those actions actually create more enemies.

      They all agree on monetary policy – create money out of thin air, keep spending like drunken sailors, no real cuts of any kind.

      They all agree on civil liberties – MOAR PATRIOT ACT! MOAR TSA!

      They all agree that being beholden to Wall St., the mega banks, and corporations, is a GOOD thing. In other words: MOAR BAILOUTS!

      They all agree that government belongs in your life as much as possible, as an extension of your family.

      What exactly is the difference? People keep saying “Anyone but Obama!”, but the so-called “mainstream, acceptable choices” offer nothing but more of the same.

      Ron Paul is the only candidate that will stick to the constitution (you remember, that supreme law of the land thingy we all learned about in school?). People are beaten over the head, day after day after day after day, with the notion that the only acceptable political positions must fall somewhere on a spectrum in between Joe Biden and Mitt Romney. Well, sorry, but that just seems like a mechanism for control.

      Dr. Ron Paul is the only clear, distinct candidate with substantive and meaningful differences from ANY candidate running for the Presidency this term.

    From the Blaze. Romney, 2002:
    “I think people recognize that I am not a partisan Republican. That I’m someone who is moderate, and that my views are progressive.”

    I don’t know about the rest of you but I started hearing the word “progressive” as it applied to people (democrats were then sometime referred to as “people”) in about 1992, when I was involved with a national association which represented mangers in Federal Service.

    Romney knew exactly what we was talking about when he used that word. It was a code word for, “I’m for all those liberal, humanitarian, entitlement, screw the taxpayer programs.” In those days, being a “progressive,” was like being a member of the coo; “underground.” We looked at progressives like they were still in their high school cliques.

    So Glenn, you’ll vote for progressive Romney or for do nothing Ron Paul? Just gets better, doesn’t it?

I mean, both “parties” swear to the constitution, So how should they “differ” so much when it comes to policies? Just look at The National Defense Authorization Act, the greatest threat to our liberties in a LONG time & Ron Paul was one of the only representatives that voted against it.

      Isolationist? Where pray tell did you ever hear Ron Paul say anything to indicate he is an isolationist. You loose all credibility when you make a statemnet like that.

  • These days both corrupt major political parties have their brain dead 40+ percent that will vote for whomever is on the Presidential ticket. The challenge is to entice the undecided to vote for your candidate. This is why Obummer recently said he wasn’t worried who was on the Republican ticket. Most freethinking persons of intellect will not vote for Mitt or Newt because after being burned all these years they are fed up. I have to agree Newt may get the nod but many women and a lot of principled people will refuse to hold their noses and vote for Newt. Ergo Obummer gets another four and we can rebuild the country from the ash heap of history.

Well, sorry, but that just seems like a mechanism for control.

    Dr. Ron Paul is the only clear, distinct candidate with substantive and meaningful differences from ANY candidate running for the Presidency this term.

    Ask yourself…How many times as Michael Savage been wrong? Seems like too many are willing to compromise for the sake of expediency rather than principle not unlike those in both the house and the senate. Hello!! How else do you send D.C. a message? If people care to risk everything they hold dear by following those that speak out of both orifices (one hot gas-the other hot air) than hot air/gas is all you’ll get. Have you ever tried to fix stupid? Try to fix sociopathic narcissism. Good luck!! We need someone who walks his talk. Then clean house and the senate with those that really represent us. One organization is on track to do just that. GOOOH

  • I watch the riots here and abroad. I watch the leeches demanding more. I watch the idiots calling attention to the problems in this country. They have no idea who caused these problems for if they did they would be choking the halls of Congress, the Whitehouse and the Supreme Court. It is the American voter hoping to redistribute wealth from wealthy states to states in need; from taxpayers to the irresponsible, from the haves to the have nots. Our failure is from the responsible shirking their duty to hold an out of control Federal Government in check. We have failed this Nation and now expect the political elite who have nothing more but self-interest to fix a problem that can not be fixed through the ballot box. I watch the riots and hope they grow. And they will. I know those in power that are required to uphold the laws are poisoned by the chains of political correctness and will sit by as the nation burns. We are doomed and require radical change. It is quite comical reading those stating other politicians need to GO…. This is true of all elected elites. However, you collectively complain of someother self-serving voter’s meal ticket. Eventually the circle completes and we have no one to blame but ourselves. The Federal level of government is too far removed from the voter to care for their constituency. They only have to pander to a few that help to keep them in power. The only way to correct this perverted mess is to pray for the collapse. To believe the ballot box will correct this joke is hilarious.

    Throughout my voting life, most of the time, voting choice was a false alternative. The false alternative was: do you want a broken arm or a broken leg ?
    McCain, yet another veteran RINO I didn’t vote for, and Mitt or Newt, I won’t vote for. The Boehner Republican RINOS are just as traitorous as all of the Brokaw/Sawyer/Pelley/Kroft media Marxist liars. I won’t vote unless Ron runs 3rd party. If Obama wins, it’s just like California and Father Brown, we’ll go down the drain at higher speed and catch up with all the mirror debt, bank and fake newly printed money corruption in the Euro of Europe. Greedy little boys can secretly print and waste all the money they gleefully like, and we go down the tubes aided by the status quo Newts and Mitts. Stopping monopoly money is the key to ending these tragic times, Newt and Mitt know it full well and do not want it stopped at the risk of their lives. How bad it reallyy? At a recent Freedom Convention there was a seminar on Assassination and they tell me it had a huge audience. We’re starting to look as bad as Mexico, and most of South America with its threatening little dictatorships and wide open killing drug cartels

    We need to retake the Paty of the Republic, not take our balls and go home a protest vot for a 3rd Party….this is a defact vote for the Democrat Party…a realist Fact. We Tea Party Democrats, Independants and Republicans did not organize throughout the Union to whine and walk away….we are here to stay. It is time we set our vision for the long term and go about dismantling the Progressives within the Elephants Gut and vomit them out of the House, the Senate, the Executive and the Departments of the Federal System. We cannot speak out and then walk out…….then they all win and we as a People and Nation Lose and will be doomed. My Father was a union Man and a Truman democrat…..he stopped voting in 1968…not only was the whole world watching, but he was too. I have been a staunch Constitutionalist republican since High School and proudly voted for Ronald Reagan….but he was not perfect nor do I diefy the man. I did not like his domestic policies as to illegal immigration and perpetuation of the Carter policies on Home sales and loans. I hated his hypocrasy in selling arms to Iran….but He was the best we had in the 1980s. Bush 1 was a flop and didn’t finish the Job in Mesopotamia…Bush II had a great excuse in 2001 and almost finished it. I did not Vote for Bush I on his second run…I foolishly protest voted for Ross Perot and Clinton…TWICE. I have intellectually grown up since those ignorant purist days. I was a drug using drunk as were you, Glen……but My God drew back this Prodigal Son after eating with the pigs for sooooo long. We must make our Votes count……and our Political Battle is with the Socialist- Marxist-Globalist Left Progressives who have overtaken the Edutaion System, the Publication and Media System and the Democrat Party and Unions. It is against the Globalist Progressives who have set themselves up as the financeers and Political Sovereigns within the Republican party……..not against one Man named Barak Hussien Obama. 3rd Parties have never worked in US Politics. Either demolish the Republican party and start the Constitutional Federalist Party of the Republic, or clean the REpublican Party House from the bottom up. A vote for an Isolationalist Liberal Libertarian is not the way. I agree with much of Paul’s Economics………….but his foreign policy is 19th Century garbage…we exist in the 21st Century…the product of all the designs and misadventures of ALL Administrations since the time of President Andrew Johnson……this is when the Federal Government began it’s long march to the Behemoth we now have. Lincoln saved the Union, but the Administrations afterward have sought to dominate and relagate the Union into vassal states and not Independant States united constititionally to a Federal Government which was their appointed servant. This long history cannot be undone in a singe voting cycle, but must be undone in a long term investment of Party House Cleaning and Selective Department closings along with return to the States of all Federal Parks, Timberlands, unused military Camps, Forts, Bases and installations. All Federal Departments that are couinterparts to those in each State must be closed and authority returned to those States and their similar departments. Social Security, Medicare et al, must only be for the unprepared Aged without retirement, to the Mentally and Physically disabled, to the Widows, and to Orphans…and it must be means tested. Federal Laws and Department regulations must be comp[letely revised like the Justinian Code, and the Congress shall meet but twicw a year and for a limited duration. No member of Congress should be paid more than the average citizen of their corresponding State, nor receive benefits and retirement exceeding that of their average State citizen. The President should receive only payment and benefits correspond to that of the US Average Citizen….the expenses for political necessities domestoic and abroad should be covered by the Federal Governent. Federal judges should rfeceive the same benefits and pay as the Average Judge within the USA. All Federal empoyees should receive the same pay and benefits as their private and corporate counterparts. military Personel should receive the same pay and benefits as the Congress..with hazzard pay and full and free University Educartion and low interest loans et al. The federal Governemnt should receive in revenue from the States only that which is necessitated for proper execution of it’s Constitutional mandateds alone…..with all excess returned to the States. All extra Constitutional Departments and Duplicative Organizations, Laws and regulations should be nullified and all such powers returned to the States. Congress alone should establish and produce a sound monitary sytem and currency….not a para-Congress Organization or department. Dismantling of the Homeland Security Department and Apparatus and restoration of this to the Department of Defence and War…as well as to the FBI for interanla investigations and the CIA for foriegn. Make ICE and the Border Patrol apart of the US Army and build based every 10 miles from the Gulf of Mexico to the Pacific Coast. With a Federal military Road from end to end…with security measures and satelite observatioin 24/7.No more Tzars in the executive branch or any other. Direct elected oversight….no unelected oversight or regulatory survatude.

    This is my goal…one election at a time.

And I am not a Republican so much as I am a conservative that is forced by circumstances to be a pragmatist trying to stop the worst of the worst politically from damaging the country. If I had my druthers I would prefer Thomas Sowell as President but would have also liked to have seen even Marco Rubio as a candidate but unfortunately they are not running. Therefore I will vote for the candidate that has the best chance of beating Obama who is set on reforming America into a collectivist state. That best chance is the Republican nominee. If you look back at the first term of Obama it is completely dishonest to say that any of the Republicans running would have conducted there Presidency rhetorically or legislatively like Obama has. That is simply ignorance or dishonesty in its most insidious form. The idea that there is no difference between the candidates and Obama is so ridiculous as to not even be worth entertaining.

Now there’s leadership!” You’re dealing in hypotheticals. You’re spending a lot of time harrying people with your opinion without offering any thing of use. If you are so opposed to Obama, go harrass Obama supporters. How are you a pragmatist when you aren’t even dealing with the reality of you choices for candidate.

  • newworldorgone

    Newt or Romney would be the exact same as Obama, but we might get some meaningless tax cuts, basically the same as if we had put McCain into office (who hid post-war Vietnamese prison camps). What we will get is WWIII, brought to you by the CIA and the NeoCons. Al Qaeda was created by the CIA, Osama was a major asset who likely died from kidney failure, and his family has connections with the Nazi Banker Bushes (Prescott, look at Armand Hammer and the Rockefellers too), coincidentally they also build most of the military bases in the Middle East. We used them against the Russians, then our intelligence agencies used hand picked operatives and got them into the United States and actually trained them to hijack planes. So even though they couldn’t fly a Cessna, they were able to make plane maneuvers that most highly trained pilots can’t perform, both with the towers and the Pentagon. NORAD stood down because they were running drills that exact same day similar to what was really happening, this is par for the course. The 7/7 bombings had drills at the same stations and busses, and in Norway there were drills done for the exact same situation that Anders Breivik had supposedly performed, which is why the police took hours and called out Anders name, after he had called the police. His Facebook was changed from Leftist groups to Right Wing Groups and his manifesto was in part copy and pasted from the Leftist Unibomber’s manifesto.

    This has plenty of precedent, the WTC bomber realized that his drills were going to go live and he was going to be the patsy, so he came out to the media. Then we have the government admitted false flags of the USS Maine, the Gulf of Tonkin, the Mumbai Attacks, Operation Gladio, the shoe and underwear bomber, and the provocation and stand down of the Lusitania, Pearl Harbor, and basically everything that got us into recent wars. Then we have the OKC Bombing brought to us by US intelligence, the SPLC, and Eric Holder, who recently lied about his involvement in the 2nd amendment false flag known as Fast and Furious. As the trial in Chicago showed us, the government has a deal with the Mexican cartels, allowing them to ship in the drugs, as long as they launder it through the major banks, then we ship them guns. This has been going on since before Iran Contra, with Democrats and Republicans, which is why Holder will get in no trouble.

    We funded the Bolsheviks, we got Mao in power, and we got Pol Pot in power. We also replaced the pro-US Iranian government with murderous Islamo-fascists, just like we did in Egypt, and what we did in Libya, with the help of Al Qaeda of course. Ron Paul is the only Republican who doesn’t support endless wars against CIA-controlled/created groups. I would rather Obama win and Ron Paul steal Newt’s votes than get Newt in power, that would finally stick it to the establishment Republicans who are really just Leftist Pan-Lenninists, like Romney, Gingrich, Perry, and Fed Board Cain to a lesser extent.

    These “Globalists” want the world’s population decimated (look into John Holdren’s Eco-Science), and they want world government so that we are completely disconnected from our leaders, this is what is happening with the child-kidnapping/murdering UN, and the eco-fascist Durban conference where they tax you to pay for world government, also further deindustrializing the West and keeping the third world from ever developing, while we murder them for their land for carbon credits. This is also what the War on Terror is for, to create a high-tech Police State that would have made the West-funded Hitler very jealous. All of these establishment Republicans aren’t RINOs, they are Leftists masquerading as Conservatives. They are like the Bohemian Grove crowd, they pretend to be Christian Conservatives, but they participate in gay orgies and make mock sacrifices to a Sumerian God owl statue and Aleister Crowley style rituals, check out Nixon’s “I can’t shake hands with someone from San Francisco” quote (Look into the satanic holiday from April 19-May1). If you’re a Republican and vote for Romney, Gingrich, or Perry you are far worse than an Obama supporter because they are ignorant and hopeless, but you should know better, for shame.

    • Have any evidence or only broad overreaching statements? We fought the Bolsheviks, we certainly didn’t fund them during World War I seeing as how we invaded northern Russia with the British. We never put Mao in power, the fault for that lies with the Nationalist government of Chiang Kai-shek, not the USA.

      You make a number of accusations but have no evidence. Your chain is also in no chronological order seeing as how you list the Gulf of Tonkin and then Pearl Harbor. At the end you reference conspiracy theories. And Cain an establishment Republican? Have you even looked at his record or did you see his position as Chair of the Kansas City Board and allow that to influence your judgement of him?

      You’re simply ranting throughout about everything in government. You also see conspiracy in everything.

        Chris, we did fund the Bolsheviks through Averell Harriman. You won’t recognize that name but you’d be interested to know that Brown Brothers Harriman employed Prescott Bush, CT Senator and father and grandfather to the Bushs you are familiar with. Their little outfit helped Hitler along the way as well…
        http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2004/sep/25/usa.secondworldwar
        There’s alot of history that doesn’t make it into your text books…

        • I’ve looked up Harriman, he was also the envoy chosen by Roosevelt to help coordinate the Lend-Lease program both in England and in the USSR. I referenced World War I. Bringing the Russians into Lend-Lease was diplomatically sound at the time during World War II. That is quite a bit different from saying we funded them. Harriman’s company had assets seized because it continued trading with Germany following the declaration of war. In regards to Prescott Bush, your article itself questions the validity of whether or not there was actually a connection between Bush, the Thyssens and Consolidated Steel. Did he do anything illegal? No. Was it morally questionable? Yes. Should he have done it? No. But he was never convicted of war crimes nor has his family ever been directly connected to knowingly aiding the enemies of the United States.

          As for China. The main reason Chiang lost in China is Chiang. He did not attempt to win the people, which Mao did. He repeatedly made the same military errors in attempting to suppress the communists. We gave him materiel for fighting Japan which was in turn used to fight the communists. It was recommended that since he was not using the materiel appropriately that it should be cut off. At war’s end China was somewhat peaceful until the ceasefire signed between the Nationalists and Communists was broken. At this point the USA had more pressing concerns to deal with in Europe and the rebuilding efforts there as well as the start of the Cold War.

  • So basically progressive Newt would be different from progressive Obama? I can see where Glenn is coming from. How could anybody say our country would be better under Newt than under Obama? I take that back, anybody could say that but to actually believe it you would have to be a fool. What that tells me is that Newt will probably be the Republicans choice to run against Obama. Why? Because progressive is all we have gotten in all our elections for I couldn’t tell you how long. As for voting for Ron Paul as a third party candidate or even a republican candidate you actually have to understand what he stands for, the Constitution. His stance is ” no entangling alliances friends with all nations”. Isn’t that a warning we got from one of the founding fathers? I believe so. I want to say George Washington said the same thing. If I am wrong about that please forgive me. Anyway I can’t see why Glenn would be so against Ron Paul in the first place. He is always talking about following the Constitution. I believe if the tea party really believes in smaller government then they too have to vote Ron Paul. He is the only true small government candidate there is. If Glenn and the tea party vote for anybody else they have sold out there beliefs.

  • Ron Paul is worth considering more everyday.

  • floridasenior

    Please don’t drink the cool aide with those who have a pre-determined and un-yielding attitude when Newt wins the nomination. I have also followed his career and find myself in agreement with a good part of his positions. The man has changed, he will be practical in gettiing Washington to represent the people again. Sure some of the things he’s said over the years seem stupid, but there is a another policitian, journalist or TV pundit who hasn’t made an ass of himself/herself.

      My good man. You have been listening to the MSM too long. Ron Paul is not an isolationist. He will expand trade with all nations – even the ones you consider bad. He is anti-war. He will bring our troops home and quit meddling in the affairs of other nations. The United States will mind its own business and quit sticking its nose into the business of other nations. Maybe after a number of years those nations will cease to hate us for meddling in their affairs. But if you are satified with the status quo, then vote for Newt or Obama – there is no difference.

    Newt is the one candidate in this race that successfully reduced the size of government. His Welfare Reform Act was brilliant. It put tens of thousands of people back to work or to school. He balanced the federal budget for 4 years under Clinton. He wants a much smaller federal government and he is very interested in the work that Governor Perry did on the tenth ammendment. I am so sick of conservatives shooting their own people in the back. With friends like this who needs enemies? Glenn Beck does not understand that you cannot get back to 1787 from here. We have made too many people dependent on government. It will take time and careful changes to the law so that people can adjust. It took progressives 100 years to get us to this point in our history. We cannot go back overnight. Newt is thinking through the interim changes that will be necessary to move us in the right direction. Newt is not a progressive by any stretch of the imagination. He is a conservative who believes in a limited role for the federal government. Glenn’s attack on Newt is not rooted in the truth.

          It’s obvious you need to take a remedial reading course because your reading comprehension is sorely lacking. Every single one of my posts have been in opposition to the destructive idea of fragmenting the conservative movement by talk of third parties and throwing away votes on Ron Paul regardless of whether or not he wins the Republican nomination. I have stated that some of his econ ideas are good but the totality of his ideology is incoherent and dangerous when you include national defense policy. And his supporters are behaving like spoiled little children that insist on having things perfectly there way or they refuse to play and they proceed to discredit everyone but their pet candidate. That attitude will NEVER form a party that will EVER have any substantive influence to reverse the tide of statism Obama has ushered in. Dividing the conservative vote is a sure way to conquer it and hand Obama the election. Come on man, you have to know this and the stakes involved if this happens. And yet you engage in dishonesty in stating that I am “all over the map”. Therefore it is difficult to take you or the Cult of Paul seriously and the only thing you all deserve is to be taunted for your commitment to folly. Where did you learn to behave in such a dishonest manner? If this is merely an attempt at cuteness you should know that it is nothing more than foolishness.

    How about Ron Paul? He has never flip-flopped like Newt or any of the other establishment politicians.

  • Glenn Beck needs to STFU! It is because of stubborn pigheadedness by the hard right in the party, that Obama won in the first place. They refused to support McCain (because apparently he wasn’t more conservative than the Premier Obama) which leads me to ask the question…Who’s side are you on? As for Beck, he got chased out of Fox News for being a blowhard nutjob. His opinion on who should or should not run is irrelevant.

  • Beck’s got it almost exactly right. I’m adding that Gingrich automatically invests a major Third Party Conservative with panache. The media is proppring him up, and will take him down with a thousand cuts… and delighted to be serving up another McCain. We’d not be in this mess if Romney had won in Florida (Crist). Recall the “temperament” insinuations about McCain that lasted until the ’08 debates? Then, their election secure, the media set out to destroy Palin, as a potential force. Gingrich, nominated, will simply be a historic loss. With all the great R’s running…this is it?

    Another anti-intellectual comparison of Newt and Obama. The Cult of Paul insists on muddying the water by claiming there is no difference between Republican and Democrat candidates. This is so scandalously dishonest. Why should anyone take you seriously when you insist on engaging in blatant falsehoods. You also fail to see that you and Paul are engaging in the same Left-wing sounding “blame America fist” meme that occurred after 911 in which the reason given for why people hate us is our military and foreign policies. The idea that we can have a national defense policy that waits until a threat reaches our borders is insanely dangerous. Although Paul has some good economic principles and ideas his views on national defense and foreign policy put him to the far left of even Obama which should disturb anyone paying attention to this election.

      There is no difference between the two parties. Both are the parties that advocate going to war without a declaration from Congress. Both parties have no problem with the unconstitutional Federal Reserve Bank. Both parties have no real plan to balance the budget within our lifetimes. What else is there?

    One thing I’ve noticed about the Ron Paul supporters. They remind me of a cult. They sound like the Obama supporters did when he first emerged on the scene. He’s the second coming. He’s the only chance we have to save America. He’s the savior of America. Bull. Ron is just the new Ross Perot and Ralph Nader rolled into one body. He’s a nut bag libertarian and not even close to a conservative. He wants to weaken America by cutting our military back. By taking us out of every place we have the military to stabelize our world presence. He doesn’t understand foreign matters and only has a basic understanding of how the financial matters works. He will finish the destruction Obama started. Both Paul and Obama are cut from the same cloth. Paul is a 9/11 truther and that alone says he’s nutty as squirrel crap. He will never be president. Real conservatives will never vote for an American hating sac of crap libertarian. I hope he goes 3rd party and gets out of the Republican race. He’s going to take all the Obama college kids who want legalized drugs with him. They are all nuts and pumped full of drugs. The majority of paultards only want legalized drugs so they can get stoned all day. Good riddance to bad rubbish.

      The NeoCons think that spreading our armed forces around the world makes us stronger. The NeoCons also think its ok to borrow and print money to police the world. The Neo-Cons really love nation building. And the Neo-Cons are willing to subvert the Constitution to reach those goals. The sad part is that the Neo-Cons actually think theirs is the conservative viewpoint. They know nothing of the Old Right, the group of true conservatives who used to oppose the foreign adventurism of the Democrats in the 20th century. There is a long list of conservative non-interventionists who understood that endless war and foreign entanglements would eventually destory the Republic. They were men of integrity, true visionaries. And patriots. History will remember them as such. History will not be so kind to the Neo-Cons. They will be remembered for what they truly are……….supporters of big government both at home and abroad.

    To Angelccoor : Isn’t that the truth. The Ron Paul supporters can’t express themselves without the vulgarity and name calling. They are perfect examples of what the “dumbing down of America” has resulted in. Must add, – I found at the library a couple of days ago Newt’s “To Try Men’s Souls”. (one I hadn’t read, written in 2009 yet) I am just getting into it. When you read his books you can sure see why the hippie-drug-culture-anti-war Ron Paul supporters wouldn’t like him. Newt really LOVES America and has the moxy and savoirfaire to deal with domestic and foreign affairs.

      WHEW! That’s hilarious! I wasn’t sure if you were trying or not to make a joke, but it came off as hilarious!!! 😀

      Vulgarity? I was already called a “libtard” by one of your elite Newt fans for supporting Paul. I’ve yet to see much of anything from Newt supporters when it comes to fact, mostly just a lot of excuses and historical revisionism.

      So talk about “dumbing down of America,” try reading a book not written on an eighth grade level.

      Look, I don’t like Newt because he has consistently side with whichever establishment will keep him in power. The guy keeps more flip-flops in his closet than John Kerry. If Newt goes up against Obama, it will be an absolutely crushing and resounding defeat. I guarantee that the Obama team will dig things up on Newt that will make Monica Lewinsky blush.

      You’re rhetorical argument that somehow Ron Paul supporters are bratty children in need of good parenting, at least that’s what I took the vulgarly used “hippie-drug-culture-anti-war” remark to mean.

      You probably live in denial that single largest group of Paul supporters and campaign donators are military veterans.

      Have any of the Ron Paul supporters on this board used vulgarity when disagreeing with your viewpoints? It seems that you are the only one who continues to post insults by calling Ron Paul supporters dumb or drug addicted anti-war hippies. The majority of Ron Paul supporters I’ve met are young students or professionals who are tired of the Washington status quo. They understand that the welfare/warfare state will eventually destroy the Republic and they love their country enough to try to change it. The majority of people I’ve met that despise Ron Paul are either recipients of the welfare/warfare state or are so institutionalized by big government that they fear the responsibility that comes with more freedom. But rest assured, the current approach to government has already demonstrated itself to be a failure. One need only to look at the crumbling economies of the Western world to realize that the current power structure will lead the American people nowhere but to poverty and enslavement. Those who are attempting to change course and return the country to its founding principles are the true patriots. History will remember them as such.

    Newt is just another neo con who knows as much about the constitution as he does reading Sanskrit. All of these people complaining about Ron Paul doing this and doing that are ignorant of history and the constitution. Or else, like the neo cons, they just don’t give a crap about the constitution. They call Paul “nutty” which is just ad hominem nonsense. Paul knows more about the constitution than all of the other republican candidates put together. He is also consistant. He also hasn’t been a moral degenerate like Newt. As has been said, Paul is one of the few in D.C. that the founders, if alive today, would find as one of their own. They would ignore someone like Newt.

    John McCain was the worst possible choice the GOP could’ve made in 2008 and Newtie-Pazootie is the worst possible choice for 2012. The news media calls him a “front runner”. Since when is this arrogant, anti-working class, selfishly opportunistic, boring fat tub the best possible choice? Given that he dumped two critically ill wives to replace them with “another woman” makes him a public relations disaster. If he isn’t faithful to his wives during their worst times of crisis, don’t count on him to be faithful to the American people in these crucial times. He takes the worst possible positions from both the left and the right and makes them his own. To heck with Gingrich. Go on a diet, Newt, and get out of politics.

Freddie Mac was a major player in bankrupting the country… old Newt was on their payroll. The Wall Street gangster banksters run the FED which is the #1 enemy of fiscal sanity… and old Mitt’s contributions are made up primarily (90%) from Goldman Sachs, Chase, JP Morgan, etc, etc. Join the revolution… vote for Ron Paul.

  • Pay attention people. Newt says FDR was the greatest president of modern time not because of his policies, but becuase of his effectiveness as a leader. If you step away from the montage of him repeating his admiration for FDR, you would hear WHY he likes him. Newt will be our next President becuase of his clarity of vision, his charisma, and his experience. He will get done what needs doing.

    I also want to say, that I don’t take Beck seriously. He talks out of both sides of his mouth. Half the time he seems like a neo con and the rest of the time , he is suddenly a constitutionalist. Him attacking Paul should have shown this clearly. Plus, Beck likes to play the race game and kiss up to minorities like the libs do. Clearly Beck has a little bit of neo con, white liberal guilt. He is too schitzo for my taste. And he also comes off like he is some sort of religious guru sometimes. Having that ecumenical prayer stuff, while also worshipping the communist MLK.

    People. Vote your conscience. If you don’t do so, you don’t really practice freedom. Get it? The only thing you know is what you witness, not the information that is presented to you. Always take everything with one eye open and one eye closed. I know it’s tempting to want to believe something just because you’re told a convincing story. But don’t hope for trust, create it through both objective discrimination and actual relationships with others who you meet. The greatest form of fascism is through the psychology of convincing stories. Stay aware, and don’t feel good simply about belonging to an idea. Feel good about listening to your soul, and live that. Peace.

    OK, then. Obama is so terrible that we just have to vote for a Republican, even if he’d be a poor president. Also, progressive Democrats believe Republican presidents (see: Bush) are so terrible that they just have to vote for a Democrat, even if he’d be a poor president.

    See this neat little box the two parties have us in? See how they all get rich together? See how they always have different rhetoric, but similar policy proposals, and nearly identical policies enacted?

    Getting rid of Obama is a noble goal, for sure. But we need more than to get rid of one man, we need to recapture our political system for the people. What would you do to get us out of this box?

    The Glenn Beck Program is a shallow side show that replaces intelligent political content with long runs of mind numbing sarcasm and empty talking points.
    Prior to the last election, Glenn Beck urged his listeners to vote. Vote against Obama and the poison that comes with progressives. Even though we listened and voted, we lost to the Bush haters and liberals that drank the “Hope and Change” Koolaid.
    Now the Glenn Beck Program is filling the airwaves with wildly confusing and counter productive messages that are dividing the Republican party by bashing Gingrich.
    –Unfortunately, Glenn Beck is acting like a 2nd grader who cries becuase he lost a game of kickball. Beck chose to outwardly support Santorum. Now that Santorum is showing clear signs that he can’t win the Republican ticket, Glenn is crying to his radio audience and bashing the front runner. This morning, he and his puppet head Glenn Beck wanna-bees broadcasted a 5 minute run of negative attacks on Gingrich through the show’s obnoxious sarcastic delivery.
    So, the message to his devout listeners is this – I told you before the last election to express your right to vote. And now, I am telling you not to vote for Gingrich.
    Hey Glenn – what if Gingrich wins the ticket? Your message to your listeners is to vote for Obama!!
    A message to all conservatives listening to Glenn Beck, turn the radio off and do your own research. You will find that all of the remaining candidates are conservatives who do not believe in big government and hate what the Obama administration has done to this country. DO THE RIGHT THING – VOTE FOR THE CANDIDATE THAT CAN BEAT OBAMA!!! SANTORUM AND RON PAUL CANNOT BEAT OBAMA. THEY ARE GREAT AMERICANS WITH GREAT IDEAS BUT THEY CANNOT WIN!! HOPEFULLY ONE OF THEM WILL BE THE VICE PRESIDENT.
    It is wildly confusing as to why Glenn is dividing the Republican party. If Gingrich wins the Florida Primary, hopefully he will realize that bashing him is the wrong approach. Just because your guy is losing ground doesn’t mean you have to be a poor sport and cry about it.

  • Glenn Beck has officially lost me if he keeps talking this way. Rong Paul is perhaps the most unelectable candidate for president I’ve seen in my life time. His complete lack of logic when it comes to foreign policy is scary. RP puts words in my mouth when he falsely characterizes the unfortunately named “war on terror” and he sounds like Frodo taking up for Gollum when talks about Iran. He attracts the Alex Jones crowd and the Truthers etc. I”m surprised he doesn’t wear foil over his head to keep the aliens from probing his mind. Rong Paul supposedly has good constitutional stances, but notable people have argued he as nutty position there as well (Mark Levin).

    Nobody is perfect, but voting for Paul over Newt is like voting for Boromir or Aragorn.

  • The only person crazier than Rong Paul is Obama. So, given the choice I would vote for the less looney Rong Paul. Otherwise, I hope it’s Santorum that wins the nomination. Going third party is suicide right now.
