So did Mark Levin in 2008 who did not view Huckabee or McCain as conservatives. You going to trash him too?
Here’s the story:

Nope, not gonna trash Levin. Just recognize he’s gotta make a livin’, just like me and you.
Levin jumped the gun endorsing Romney that early on, but his predictions were correct.
I love Mark Levin, but he doesn't do my thinking for me. In the case of the current candidates, he and I disagree. I do not, and will not support Santorum, as long as Newt is in the race.
Mark said he did it to try and stop McCain. In that regard he was half-right, Flip Romney would have been just as crappy- history will soon show if he's nominated.
Mark has a great analytical mind with lawyerly discipline, but his 'instincts' frankly suck.
Recall Ms. Bachmann, and how he touted her cred. She and her 23 children got old so quick I couldn't throw enough money at the freeway off-ramp sign holders. And Cain, who he though so much of with his 9-9-9. Little did we know that was the number of babes he hit on while schlopping pizzas.
Which brings us to today: Santorum. Some people focus on electability (Romney-ites). What we need to focus on is 'defeatablility'. As in: who can best DEFEAT Obama. Romney with his RomneyCare wrapped around his neck? Santorum with Earmarks and pro-Bush votes tied to his Pennsylvania loss? Paul would be a forfeit, no chance of defeating a youthful, toothful, Marxist (in a different body his chances would be entirely different and Obama would be toast).
That leaves us with Gingrich- married three times (did Obama have three fathers? Kenyan, Indonesian, Hawaiian, Trinity-an, Chicago-an, etc.) and yet, is the one 'everyone' goes out of their way to destroy (like Palin). When the Left (or the Right) train their guns on someone, you should pay attention. They could attack anyone of the other candidates, but they don't- why?
I'll tell you why- they fear what a Gingrich or Palin could do to their pencil-necked, telepromter reader in a debate. Newt would throw bare knuckles like this phony in the White House has never seen and would flatten him in the first round. His record stinks and Newt would make him wear it like cologne. As in most other things, opposites DO attract and the differences between Newt and Buraq couldn't be greater in spite of what the media (MFM) tries to say. Those people who know America is in grave danger would see Newt as direct opposite to Oblame-o, making the choice for them much easier.
Newt's 'electability' may be questionable today (polls) but his 'defeatability' of the worst President since Carter is yet to be tested. THAT's when the only poll that matters takes place- election time. What Newt could do to this phony between now and then will determine how that "poll" turns out. Enough to keep Axelrod up at night. And Karl Rove, which should beg a question of more than a few who support Mitt(ens). Why? 'Cause I'm not doing McCain II. Too much is at stake and I want a guy who'd fight like I would to rid this country of the greatest threat to liberty this country has ever faced.
Mark Levin is the best thing to happen to radio with his defense of the constitution and his scholarly revealing of the many detours we've taken from it. His Ameritopia is a work of art that'll out-live us all and may be key in the restoration of the America many of us remember and will fight to preserve for our progeny. The children who'll benefit from his insights haven't even been born yet. And, if we don't succeed this year many of them never will, they'll be sacrificed on the alter of 'convenience' to a state that worships itself, for itself, and by itself.
We all know the only reason Levin endorsed Romney was sheer horror of McCain, and the reluctace with which he made the endorsement was painful at the time. Frankly, it was one of the few times I've disagreed with Levin; Romney would have been worse.
Levin is also inexplicably conflicted when it comes to Santorum. One minute he's ranting (and rightly) on the destructiveness of the minimum wage, and in the next, talking about Santorum as a pretty good conservative, when Santorum is on record of voting SIX TIMES to raise the minimum wage!!!! MaaaarrrrrrrrrrrrK! Snap out of it!
I disagree with him now about Gingrich, and side with Thomas Sowell. Gingrich wants to make English the official government language. He states flatly that mandates on health insurace are out because they're wrong, and says instead he'd work to see insurance policies able to be bought and sold across state lines, and people get tax write-offs for having insurance, including Health Savings Accounts (a very smart way to go). The list goes on and on.
Three years ago -- only three years ago! your guy was apparently still lovin' Romney, unless (and it's possible) Chuck Norris has taken Santorum's words on Ingraham's show totally out of context.
Godspeed Newt Gingrich.
Considering the alternatives that they were up against, it probably was a good choice.
I will. Levin is pundit, a bookwriter, a talker. I've listened to him lately and all I hear is a sales pitch.
