Glenn Beck likes Chris Christie... a lot. (video)
(Excerpt) Read more at politipage.com ...
Just shows how desperate people are for a real leader, a real CONSERVATIVE leader.
Does he get a tingle up his leg?
I think we’ve come full circle. The conservatives are swooning over Christie. This is the same Chris Christie who they once called a RINO. Personally, I think his comments were refreshing, but I’m a “what have you done for me lately” guy. Let’s see him put his words into action.
So Beck wasn’t so sure he could ‘trust’ Sarah Palin but he’s in love with Christie because he used street language to go after a reporter.
Ugh. Glenn, tingles aren’t becoming.
Wasn’t the street language. It’s so much more than that.
Maybe Beck is just glad to see a man act like a man in the GOP, instead of cowed sissy boys.
I was impressed too. Palin and Bachmann speak out as women, but it was nice to see a man talk in language that a MSM Obama shill can understand.
I was impressed as well.
I simply do not understand the infatuation listeners/viewers have with the likes of Beck & O'Reilly (you can add Hannity to that mix). Their ratings are great, but is that because CNN & MSNBC suck so badly?
While I like Glenn Beck, there are times it is best to consider his opinion like that of a grain of salt.
We each must decide for ourselves, if the person is worthy of the responsibility to lead.
The person I am looking for will not be “like Washington, Lincoln, Kennedy, or even Reagan.” The person I am looking for will be taking their own footsteps forward, not walking in the footsteps of the past, but walking forward from them on the path less traveled called American Freedom.
I voted for Chris Christie in the general, after voting for Steve Lonegan in the primary. Christ Christie is not a conservative in the political sense, he’s just a common sense individual. That speaks to people on a visceral level and it’s appreciated.
I watch Beck occasionally. He does expose the people around the maoist but by now most if not all his listeners ‘get it’.
He’s a drama queen and it does grate on ones nerves.
I watch Brett Baier and Greta.........the rest is just not that interesting or informative.
Didn’t you hear the smile/sarcasm in his voice or see it in Glenn’s face when he played the clip? It’s radio.. and he was just dramatically setting up the clip from Christie.
Beck is VERY good behind a mic.
I personally think Beck is some kind of morph of George Washington...with a very good sense of humor.
Glenn’s about the only guy out there who has the guts to call everyone out and not care what is said of him. His popularity definitely proves that.
Christie has been under mega fire from the unions since taking office. At least he’s trying to steer the ship in the right direction. He’s one of the few politicians who understands 2+2=4 not 2+2=1 (obamanomics)
Glen Beck is an entertainer, and I don’t much care what he thinks.
It appears most of our GOP wannabes aren’t sure about some of their stands on immigration and such.
If you want to slam Christie, do it here on the open forum so we can all discuss it rather the freepmail.
You ain't seen nothing yet.
Wait til they have to face a five foot three lesbian powerhouse!
I hope they're wearing their diapers.
I cant stomach it when Glenn produces his crocodile tears....
swooning over a politician has to also suck....I dont know because I had to stop watching him.
Be serious.
There was no ‘street lamguage’.
Christie simply explained the difference between Conservatism and Liberalism. That’s his ‘street lamguage’ if you like.
I think there is something wrong with anyone who doesn’t love the Chris Christie “I am who I am” speech. It was great! I am glad to see Beck swooning along with me and the rest of the sane world.
How are my comments about his position on anything a ‘slam’.
Get a grip. The facts are not slams.
sheesh. did I gore your ox?
Truth is the infatuation.
“street language” implies vulgarity.....Christie used none of that.
Did you think it was cute when he suggested they ought to see him when he’s ‘pissed’.
I’m an old broad, I wasn’t amused. Generation gap, I guess.
If he was my kid and I have kids older than he, I would have cringed.
Any time a Republican shows any type of boldness - it's a time for celebration. Chris may not be a great choice, but at least he did something right. He deserves more credit than those who do nothing.
IMHO, ‘pissed’ isn’t exactly the queen’s english.
Okay, the end!!!!!!
Let’s see him put his words into action.
Are you kidding ? Have you read ANYTHING about what’s going on in NJ? He;s starting to turn this corrupt toilet of a state on it’s head. He’s a good man !
I feel the same way about those who aren’t emotional about America.
Thanks. Could you fix your tag line? It makes no sense...or did you run out of space?
LOL......hardly a profane word, but admittedly a colorful word that describes a bodily function. I was not in the least offended by that....but the reporter’s question was another matter.
Not sure how anyone here is not mega impressed bt Chris Christie’s handling of the left and the media. It is a blueprint for what we need in leaders and sorely lacking in our party. How is this post turning into a bash Christie and Beck thread? Jeez
To you, the only fabulous person in the GOP is Palin. You cannot stand it when people say nice things about someone who could possibly be a rival.
I din’t scream “Christie for prez”.
I am not from NJ, so I don’t know a whole lot about Christie, but I got a kick out of it and my hubby played it 3 times with glee.
Can people at least enjoy a moment when the MSM gets their comeuppance from a GOP male?
The NJ media has been joining in with the teacher’s union leaders to bash away at Christie’s combative tone.
It’s hilarious given their email sent to 17,000 teachers with the wish that Christie die.
Every single day they’re whining about how mean and nasty Christie is.........unending.
The reporter is a far lefty. I once wrote to the Star Ledger and asked them to take his french kisses for Corzine off the front page as that at least ought to be reserved for news.
They did move him off the front page. The media here in NJ is laughable and gets no respect from anyone.
Must say tho, the Bergen Record where the nasty email originated does print letters from conservatives. Their editorial staff is left left left and they get letters from me every week. I often ask they not be published but want them to know we’re out here watching them.
They did print my letter with regard to Christie not re-appointing NJSC judge Wallace. They even had a guest editorial sharing my point of view of the hypocrisy from the dems.
I have many republican heroes. Not the least of which is Ryan, Pence, DeMint, Inhoff, Bachmann, .........there are many so called rivals for Palin and any one of them would get my vote.
Frankly, Palin is getting as tiresome as Beck. Just my opinion.
You are right, you don’t know NJ. So glad your hubby got his kicks for the day.......three times. That settles it then! Your hubby for prez!
I live in NJ and this state is as corrupt as ancient Rome. Christie just walked into the job and already he’s shaken up the state BIG TIME. As a prosecutor he put away a TON of corrupt politicians and he’s no one to play with I assure you of that . He’s a bit of a prick and that’s good , we need that on our side .He’s much better than %99 of the two faced GOP people we have around.
By the way Palin is starting to get tiresome for me at this point. She’s great , she can and does help us out but she’s not presidential material in my opinion.
He ain’t done, Sonic. Schwarzenegger started out running too. Look where he ended up.
Beck is one of the BEST things we have going for us. He is doing the research and he’s educating the public . We pay BIG money to politicians and Beck has to come in and do what THEY are supposed to be doing. That being said I’m getting tired of his high drama approach ( I still listen though because the meat of what he says is VERY VERY important)
Give the guy a break he just got there.
Best part. Christie announces that he is going to do a sting operation across the state to root out corrupt local officials.
He catches about 30 pols, AFTER THE ANNOUCEMENT, all dems. One pol even tells the stinger (is that a word) to go to this other pol that he’s glad to take bribes. Just sharing in the action I guess.
Bergen County is irredeemable. Much like those in Newark just loved Sharpe James.
Jersey City has become a hell hole of crime. The long time Mayor was just defeated. Doubtful anything will change.
If Christie gets the spending under control and gets the Court focused on JUSTICE it will be a big plus.
He’s not afraid to use the bully pulpit, for sure.
I voted for Christie, although I had some doubts about him. The alternative was Corslime, no doubt where my vote would go. But you always hear promises, promises until you see what they begin to do.
So far, I’m pleased, but he’s got one hell of a challenge ahead of him in this state with our way too powerful unions.
I’ll give him a break... But I’m not willing to annoint him a saint yet.
Christie's first post-election appearance was before a pro-life, pro- family group. He attributed his victory to values voters. He took a strong stand against gay marriage.
From what I’ve seen of Christie, I’m for him, too. He’s doing the tough work and exactly what he was elected to do. Right now, he’s one of the very few I’ve seen with a plan and some early results. He is leading! And if he is successful in turning the tide in NJ and I hope he is, then his methods should serve others in taking the tough steps needed to regain some sanity in our budgeting, taxes and growth.
Let’s face it, the old ways aren’t working...and it’s going to get worse before it gets better..but what he’s doing is what needs to be done. And I wish him well.
Bret and Greta. They are top shelf. I do accoasionally tune into Beck, his storyboards are interesting and have promoted good action and are eye-openers. But I don’t appreciate drama.
The NJ media..you are correct. The NJ Star Ledger pulled the Christie video from all sites claiming copyright issues. Thay can’t handle the TRUTH!!
Oh the left goes mad over Beck’s blackboard.
And the red phone. Makes me laugh.
Greta has come a very long way from her days at CNN. She sees clearly now.
Bret is a must see. First time in nearly 40 yrs. of marriage that we have the TV on during dinner.
And when Shep appears......CLICK
Ditto BO’RE
It's great that he's putting the media in its place, but is he really a true conservative?
