I was wondering how Beck went from up to down. This Newt thing has really grabbed the conservatives and they will go to war against facts. Oh well, with all his flaws, I like Newt but I am not blind and dumb. He has stabbed conservatives before, but he is a changed man now? He is now a virgin and does not kite checks. And he is did not lobby despite his fat bank account from Fannie and Freddie. I say he is pure as the driven snow now. He did not say FDR was his favorite despite a recording saying he did. I can’t wait for the global warming knife in the back from either Newt or Mitt. This is not the greatest field.
I’ve lost count the amount of times I have heard him use the phrase “executive order”...guess it means more of the same: Rule by exective fiat.
“Newt’s compass is pointed toward Conservatism.”
I disagree with you there. He decries Tea Partiers.
But he’s shrewd and he knows politics in DC. He’s articulate and at times poignant. He does believe in America, and he can fillet his opponents.
He was drummed out in DC, by hook or by crook, and has no doubt changed in his ways as a result, whether he likes to admit it or not.
His articulation of his belief in America goes beyond the power-hungry. His oratorical skill approaches K-Bar sharp. His apparent wisdom counterbalances 0bama’s marionette parrotting of pre-written verbiage.
If we could but have a true believer in Conservatism sitting at the Resolute Desk, such as Santorum, we know he’d keep his feet off of it and DC would cower in its basement tunnels. As it stands now, we need an SOB. Frankly, it appears that, as of this week, the guy to send into the sewer is Newt.
We also need super-majorities and enough WILL to slash and burn the EOs, the lies and the Dem power mantel to smitherines. This is the Prog’s height of power—and they know it. They also know that all glory—like power—is fleeting.
We must demonstrate the WILL to win. We’ve kept our political enemies confused, which is actually a good thing. Now, we must manouver like the very best of predators. And when we strike to win, we must remember that he who wills, wins.

I've got some feathers somewhere..
See post #123.
Glad he came to his senses....after 25 years. Perhaps he’ll realize Gorebull Warming is a sham before I retire.
Where else would we learn it his own campaign propaganda, lol. Re-watch the debates and count ‘em if you like.
He’s pimping a liberal R for President only because they both share the same religion.
.... you’re not paying attention, he vocally supports Santorum who last time I checked is CATHOLIC! you need to update your sources!
and you must not watch Beck or Mathews...
ymmv
Beck would make a great head of the department of education.
Aside from that, eh...
Beck would make a great head of the department of education.
...that’s a creative idea, I wonder if he’d take the pay cut?
ymmv
Glenn who?
Although I believe a rock could debate Mr. Obama (without his magic TelePrompTer) successfully, we want someone who will not only 'win', but someone who can articulate conservative positions and call the media out on their duplicity. Mr. Gingrich seems to be the only Republican candidate with the ability and fortitude to succeed in both of these areas.
Absolutely!!
With all these hair brains here saying Newt can’t win against Barry - not one of them can tell me what’s so great about Barry they think he will win. I guess they have to get back to their ‘sponsors’ for the answer. ;)
Beck is off the rails. This and his supposed support for Santorum is just a ruse so he can ‘reluctantly’ (cough) support Mitt.
Publically........ when its comes to Newt or Mitt, do we need to guess?
So he will magnify in one what he ignores or spins for the other.

That is Mormon SOP. It also applies to their church, the Bible, their other ‘scriptures’, their history and their theology.
I really think the brainwashing is taking hold.
While I agree with you on Newt, I do not agree with the above statement. Clinton would not have had a balanced budget except for the interference of the Republican legislature. After the Republicans were voted into office during Clinton's early first term and shut his taxing a** down, Clinton figured it out and kept a low profile and pulled Hillary off of her national healthcare kick.
He was terrible in other ways also, he gave secrets to China and, if republicans, specifically Newt, hadn't been elected to the legislature with a majority then he would have taxed Americans silly.
