Agreed, but it can and does cause irrational behavior at times. If Mark wants to leave the GOP, more power to him, but I hate to say it, he could probably sell a few more books if he didn’t.
I completely disagree... although Mark sometimes gets on my nerves, it’s not his criticisms but more his rude behavior to callers. My mother and paramour both swing left... and have been in the car while listening to him recently... they are quite surprised at the ability of a conservative to criticize members of his own party so openly and aggressively. Not something they’re used to...
I’m pretty sure the man values principle more than he values monney.
Mark levin is a national treasure.
The GOP is national sewage.
Because I have listened to him every day for as long as I can remember.
And none of the people you cited have stated that they have any desire to be a politician.
And yes Rush has been changed by his success.
He’s pretty non-controversial these days, and not particularly insightful or cutting edge.
Farmers listen to cows and pigs every day without becoming too attached to them. It seems to me that you may be on the “cult” side.
If America is ever going to be fixed, the Republican Party must be marginalized and replaced by an actual conservative alternative.
I hear people saying the party can be “fixed”. The lesson of 2014 is that it can’t. There is too much money and too much cronyism in the Old Wing for it to be fixed.
The Tea Party can score individual successes like Dave Brat and others but to take a truly populist conservative message to the people, conservatives must be able to take independent action outside a party apparatus that despises them.
And like it or not, people like Levin and Rush need to take the lead. They have daily access to a new party base. Until one of them does so, all this talk about “leaving” is just that. Talk.
Levin is a very accurate bomb thrower.
The GOP is a dead party walking.
Power as its own end, particularly the power to sell favors, just like the centrist liberals.
Wehner’s another liberal who 1) wants any conservative out of the RINO infested dem-light GOP, and 2) thinks people will be fooled by a liberal advising the GOP on how to be successful in future elections.
Just another liberal liar.
We'll soon see what the GOPe leaders are going to do about the out of control juvenile in the White Hut because Mark was exactly right when he said "Obama to go full Mussolini after election: Mark Levin," I suspect little.
We need more outspoken Conservatives like Mark Levin.
On Thursday or Friday Mark commented that he was being asked what we should do now. We voted Republican and it isn’t working.
I did not hear him give a good answer. I know in a previous show this week, he ranted that he was ‘within an inch of leaving the Republican Party.’
Many of the incumbent REPUBLICANS ran on lies and deception. They were going to do X, Y and Z, if reelected. Then, as soon as they got back to the lameduck session, they voted for everything Obama wanted — just like they did in the lameduck session of 2010.
And, without some massive political earthquake, the GOPelites are going to give us Jeb or Christie or Mitt Retread for 2016.
Whatever.
People are going to do what they do without regard to how you rationalize or characterize them.
Conversation with you is pointless and annoying, so have a nice life.
Article V convention of states.
He has stated the only remaining civil naswer many times, and he wrote a book about it.
Beyond that, there really is no civil solution.
Great tagline.
Bingo! We rented it for eight years with Reagan but they fixed that anomaly.
I have actually felt that Levin was leaning toward “independence” for quite some time.
Interesting that this article was released right before Levin will be gone for two weeks so there will be no response.
Afraid they are, there is little doubt who controls both Houses and they are not conservatives.
We should wait until we can win the presidency then we can change things for the better.
