Who is Beck supporting?

He's pushing Sanctorum pretty hard... or Bachman.

Beck is also a Mormon I believe, so one would expect him to lean toward Mitt Romney

I listened to the whole thing. Beck played clips of past remarks by Newt on climate change, health care, admiration of Teddy Roosevelt, etc. They sounded liberal, but Newt talked his way out of each of them.
Basically (my impression): Newt was saying, I’m really conservative but I’m also pragmatic.

There are plenty of Newt quotes around that make me squirm. He once said he was a “Hamiltonian,” i.e. strong, centralized government. I think the only thing that can save us is a renewed Federalism that diminishes the central government.

All said and done, I’m willing to take Newt (”warts and all”) if he can wipe out Obama and bring in a conservative Republican Congress with him.

One thing I like very much about Newt: He seems to have a passionate desire to cut the power of the judicial dictatorship and is willing, like Jefferson, to take strong means against them.

Beck is following Mormon orders: get Romney elected!

Uh, so how do you explain Newt's disturbing big government approaches to nearly every problem? Medicare? MORE coverage, MORE benefits. Global warming: Scientific "evidence" is "sufficient" - GOVERNMENT solution. How is all that a Mormon conspiracy?

Both LDS. Mormonism is a cult. ( Says someone who was born in SLC to a Mormon dad and Thank God a Christian Mom)

Beck ripped off Newt’s Conservative fascade. It wasn’t pretty.

No, he doesn’t like Mitt. He knows that Mitt is a Progressive.

“Beck was bloviating.”

Bloviate: “empty, pompous, political speech”.

Sorry, your choice of words simply does not describe the discussion = are you aware your bias is posting under your screen name?

Since when is comparing Newtie Kazootie’s past pattern of positions with his present “positions” bloviating?

Newt is an enviro. Accept reality.

>> I’m voting for some good debate action between Newt & the Commie <<

Yeah, but don’t forget this:

There will be a maximum of three debates between the POTUS candidates. Nothing like the dozens and dozens of debates among the GOP hopefuls.

Moreover, Obama always has the option of declining to debate. Plus the option refusing to debate unless a handful of minor candidates are also on stage, in order to deflect attention from himself.

In other words, there’s absolutely no guarantee that Newt’s superior debating skills will lead to Big Ø’s downfall.

Newt-haters

Please stop using that term. Do we or do we not have a right to debate the pros AND CONS of the current front-runner? Or do we have to shut up again like we were told in 2008, while the elites chose a big government progressive for us.

We have been conditioned to accept “Hope and Change” as long as the man pushing the policies has a certain letter in front of his name. The field has been pared down, the choice is clear, Tweedle Dum or Tweedle Dumber. Newt would not cut govt, he would expand it in a more “Republican” manner.

Who is Beck supporting?

Does he want Mitt? I was just wondering.
****************************
He seems to favor Bachmann but Mitt is OK with him, too. Not Gingrich. I am starting to wonder if Bachmann is just his cover and Mitt is actually who he wants.

I just have one word for Beck...Oprah.

Didn’t work out so well for her...
