I agree; Beck has been ranting about Newt being a "progressive"; but I think a lot of conservatives have made mistakes in hindsight that they regret. Look at Jim DeMint, who endorsed Romney in 2008.
I regret supporting John McCain in 2008, who is one of the worst GOP presidential candidates of my 57 year lifetime. While you have to honor the man for his POW experience, he has burned up all his token good-will on reaching across the aisle one too many times. I dislike Romney about as much as McCain, both of which are fast-talking two-faced liars that leave conservatism behind once they are elected to the office the envy!
I find it strange that people get so upset with people who support another candidate during a primary. Free Republic used to be vote for your principles in the primary and vote for the nominee in the general. There has been a big shift in this thinking this year. Believe me, Glen Beck, Hannity, and all the others will get on board with Newt if he is our nominee. It is just that during the primary it used to be that you could vote for who you wanted. Now it is everyone must be in lockstep with the “chosen” or else. Haley will lose her seat as Governor because she went with who she wanted during the primary. She will vote for the nominee in the general no matter who it is. This is the first year that I have seen people getting blasted for who they support during the primary. I hate John McCain even more than Romney. I think John McCain is a miserable old fool and despise him. Romney to me is just an idiot who is like Obama.
