Mark Levin on Santorum’s exit: ‘The Republican establishment got its way’
Daily Caller\ ^ | 4-12-12 | Jeff Poor

Posted on 04/12/2012 8:25:54 PM PDT by Mozilla

On his Tuesday radio show, conservative talker Mark Levin, author of “Ameritopia: The Unmaking of America,” reacted to former Pennsylvania Sen. Rick Santorum effectively ending his campaign with an announcement in Gettysburg, Pa., calling for his listeners to be “realists.” Levin had been an outspoken critic of Mitt Romney, but conceded that Romney’s likely nomination was a win for the so-called Republican establishment.

“Well the Republican establishment got its way,” Levin said. “The Republican establishment has won yet again. Some of you are very upset about it. Some of you are self-delusional — not many. Some of you are thinking, ‘Well, what you mean? This is conservatism.’ No it’s not. Just because you’re not Obama doesn’t mean you’re a conservative or a constitutionalist.”

Mark sounds very heavy-hearted. But he’s right. Mitt is still in there and he should get everyone’s support right now even if it doesn’t seem likely.

Umm, that isn't what Levin was saying at all. Mark is saying Romney IS the nominee, that the establishment got it's way, but that we have to support Willard anyway because Hussein is infinitely worse. Mark had nothing good to say about Newt, in fact he was very dismissive of Gingrich and said he didn't even think Newt knew what he was doing at this point.

Didn't both already have failed shows on MSNBC years ago? Why would Fox want them?

As far Keyes, he is the ultimate political loser. Runs for something almost every cycle and gets utterly destroyed. He is about the last person you'd want to get any political commentary from. The man couldn't get elected dog catcher even if his opponent were an illegal alien who ate live babies on TV. Keyes is a joke.

I’m discouraged, too, but also a realist.

Romney still doesn't have enough delegates to put him over the top.

One might recall that after the 1968 primary season, Richard Nixon had by far the most delegates as well as the momentum, but Ronald Reagan and, to a lesser degree Nelson Rockefeller continued to vigorously hunt for delegates and came within 25 votes of denying Nixon a first-ballot nomination--which might have opened the way for a Reagan stampede by the southern delegates, among whom he was wildly popular, and a come-from-behind win for the Gipper.

Dr. Keyes is one of the most brilliant analysts around today, and solid as a rock. Conservative as they come. Maybe that’s the problem.

FOX and Aljazera are the only news channels that I get.
O’roro is the last person that I want to see.
He is a pompous ass.

I really do not know why the Marxist hate FOX so much.
Is it because it really is fair and balanced?
I guess they would prefer the old version of Radio Albania.
It use to make me laugh, as every sentence invoked the term “Marxist/Leninist”.

Michael Savage is a Jerry Brown supporter, so he would probably turn off a lot of conservatives.

“But in this election, ladies and gentlemen, we have to be realists,” he continued. “And the reality is this country will not survive as free — our private property rights will be incredibly diminished; our Constitution will be abused daily; you will be more frustrated than ever before with fewer liberties and fewer rights than ever before — if we do not defeat Barack Obama if we continue to vote for the statist Gop-e which inexorably moves leftward on the continuum, and by increments, stamps the “republican conservative” imprimatur on socialism.

Dr. Savage is an independent conservative who says things even a lot of other conservatives are afraid to say. Read his books. He’s definitely one of us — probably too much so for Establishment conservatives.

Yes, and he also said "we conservatives" have to work together and pull out a win for Mitt Romney - those words coming out of the mouth of Mark Levin... nothing makes sense anymore..

As for Newt, he said Newt was mentally "losing it" and nobody needs to follow him as he ping pongs around. It was quite devastating to hear...

True Colors Time, stay tuned.
