Endorsement From Glenn Beck may be possible!

I'm keeping an open mind on Beck, but remaining cautious. I fully expect him to call someone like Cain a libertarian and throw his support behind them rather than Ron Paul.

I think we should also focus on (ex) Senator Mike Gravel. He's pretty obscure, but he used to be a hardcore progressive until 2008 when he became a libertarian. He's an intellectual guy, and some progressives really like him.

Edit: We should all email bomb Beck about how Cain was a fed chairman and likely still has contacts with the Fed. If he aired that, Cain would probably lose some tea party steam, and Beck has been pretty anti-fed lately.

No way Demint endorses Paul. No way

He was talking up the libertarians vs. Republicans meme on Hannity last night

He has some good ideas and presents a lot of legitimate evidence, but his attacks on Ron Paul last time around are unforgivable.

The problem with someone like Glenn Beck is that they cannot get it through their heads that...

1) Drugs and other victimless crimes should be legalized.

2) We should not police the world.

Those are his biggest hang ups against Ron Paul. Those two are the biggest hang ups most Republicans have against him. But the fact of the matter is that you cannot be a TRUE Republican unless you support drugs being legalized and bringing our troops home!

Possible endorsements:

Sarah Palin: Would be huge. Seems nice enough but too politically damaged to run. Has some appreciation for libertarian ideas. She also endorsed Rand for Senate last cycle. Could happen if Bachmann doesn't run.

Glenn Beck: Really big also. Beck is all over the map but has seemed to have a quasi-libertarian streak as of late. Toss up endorsement.

Jim Demint: Not too likely but would be incredibly helpful. Especially in South Carolina obviously.

Big one would be Johnson dropping out and endorsing Ron. It is great having both on stage for the debate but it would suck to split the libertarian-oriented Republican vote at all.

2) We should not police the world.

Actually he's conceded that point twice now and supports non intervention.

I don't believe that. He still considers the military budget to be untouchable. He admitted on TV he still considers the military to be a holy cow.

Well i can't change your beliefs but that's what he's said.

 

[nocompromises]

If he brings Ron Paul on the show and admits Paul was right to oppose the War in Iraq, I might believe that.

 

[Tinnuhana]

Maybe some people should call him and ask him why his views have changed. If he's waffling because he thinks the caller is a neo-con former supporter, then we'll know.
Also, you could call and ask him about the, say, top three things that changed his mind about libertarian ideas in the past four years. Give him the chance to say "Ron Paul"

 

[BlackTerrel]

I am not at all a fan of Beck but even I admit this would be big. He gets like 15 million a day on his radio show.

Don't be delusional. He is firmly in the camp of The Empire. They found him when he was an alcoholic in the gutter, and they made him rich as their controlled opposition. He is permanently compromised.

What's your explanation for his bringing G. Edward Griffin on his TV show (and then losing said show)?

 

[wowrevolution]

All Beck has to do is start calling Ron Paul the Republican Frontrunner and Paul wins. He doesn't even have to openly say he supports him. Just call him the frontrunner.

 

[nolvorite]

So Glenn Beck is finally on our side. yay

or has he always been a libertarian? The shift of ideology was pretty quick man

 

[johnpp2]

He started bringing people like that on pandering for viewers, but Glenn Beck's job was to keep people watching corporate media who would otherwise have turned it off completely. He will dance all around the truth but will never cross the line into supporting positions that actually do real damage to the establishment. So many naive Ron Paul supporters have been waiting and hoping for years now that Glenn Beck will suddenly "come around" and turn his audience into Ron Paul supporters. That will never happen so long as he is on the Bilderberg payroll. It's completely counterintuitive. Instead, what they are doing with Beck is playing with you like a cat batting around its prey, delaying you from turning the television completely off. Remember, they don't really care if everybody finds out what they are up to, so long as they don't find out until it's too late to stop it. Glenn Beck's job is to keep people away from Alex Jones and other commentators who are going "all the way" and actually threatening their empire. They are doing the same thing with Judge Napolitano. They know the majority of their anti-establishment audience has seen through Glenn Beck, so they cannot win them back over to him. Instead, they will slowly pump up Napolitano (but not fast enough to be a real threat) as a replacement to keep you in the matrix, hoping and waiting for the TV Messiah to save the country, but it will never happen. To me, Ron Paul supporters still waiting for a Fox personality to become one of us is a clear case of Stockholm Syndrome. TV is an addiction, so you will have to endure the shakes to let go of it, but, once you come off it you can finally see things for how they really are.

That's what I was thinkiing. He brought him on the sholw and I was like: YES!!!!, but then he lost his show....hmmmmm

Also, bringing on G Edward Griffin right before the show is canceled, which was already planned, will cause a lot of people who were on the fence to believe he is real and listen to his radio show.
