Glenn Beck: I'm Done With Establishment Republicans, I Support Constitutonalists Like Rand

[jmdrake]

Karl Rove and Glen Beck endorsing Rand in the same day (or few days)? I can't take it anymore! Seriously, looks like the strategy is working...almost too good. We'll see what happens.

I was watching The Five today on Fox and Bob Beckel mentioned that Rand would be a much stronger primary and general election candidate than Rubio.

Well, shit. It's in the bag then.

 

[wormyguy]

Remind me, did Beck end up endorsing ass-foam or crazy-eyes last time around? I forget.

Ah, nothing like a good old fashioned Glenn beck sucks thread to unite us

They better be scared, gravy train is shutting down....

change the game from checkers to chess.
if you first say your support someone then drop your support later, it would make a bigger impact on the negs, than if you were visably 'biased' against the person all along.
honey, honey, poison.

Not in the bag at all. Just find it surprising that Rand is doing so much better than Rubio and that even a liberal democrat concedes that Rand is a much stronger candidate.

I'm thinking that he'll get the ron paul treatment eventually.
like not included in polling, which has happened already.

I was going to say that has already been happening somewhat, but Rand is a remarkable force though. He's been sublimely clever by positioning himself and raising his profile within the past few months. There comes a point where the media just has to cover you, especially locally. Now couple that with some hefty fund raising and Rand could take his message directly to the people of Iowa, New Hampshire, South Carolina. Rand will be much harder to define and keep hidden away and by the media. On top of the that the man is a tireless campaigner so even if a small portion of the public miss him on cable tv they will likely have an opportunity to catch a speech locally.

What do you think the Romney endorsement was? It only made his voice credible when he criticized his foreign policy a week or so later.

That is rather funny. Who would've thought that to have any street cred you would have to drop Rand's name in every interview you give. Rove looks especially ridiculous doing it

exactly.
we don't think like our enemies do.
but if we took the time to realize how they took our liberty, we could use the same method to get it back.
but we have so many politically naive people here- they would never understand or get it.

 

[PatriotOne]

Don't look away. Beck will steal your wallet.

It's all good.......

You know the way this game is played.

Take it back through hundreds of years of incrementalism?

No thanks.

Nullify now.

There's a certain psychological element to "playing the game" to appease certain grassroots elements and make establishment figures feign respect, at least before the campaign begins in earnest.

But to take back our liberty the same way they took it, even in the pettiest of senses, we would somehow need to install persons in (appointed) positions of power who have strong personal or financial interests in reducing their own power, and also establish several major blocs of voters and big-money donors for whom the same applies. Needless to say this is basically self-contradictory and impossible, and so our goals will always be far harder to achieve than those of our enemies through conventional means.

I'm so far into thinking like our enemy does, I want to keep the drones when we get into power. The target will be different but......

I didn't mention anything about incrementalism.
I'm talking about political strategy of honey,honey, poison.

we immediately rebuke our enemies because they are wrong.
what if we agreed with them, championed them- got the trust of the other supports as someone who supports the guy. then act like the guy betrays you at some point- flip out and take 25% of the room with you. just from random brain structure emotions alone.

i see this kind of stuff at work on this website.
you get the honey, honey, poison accounts.
they put in their honey post, they have their flame thread about OMGZ MASSIE IS JUWZ!!!!!

 

[Cleaner44]

I don't trust Beck at all but this is always welcome commentary. When talking heads are hammering the GOP then they are doing good work. Beck has slowly been learning what most of us learned earlier in our lives. He may still be a sellout in the future, but he knows that we are right. The truth is on our side.

how many people agreed to the constitutional republic when it was founded? did all the mundanes create it in a democratic vote? or was a society based on forced protection of people's rights actually forced on the mundanes on the late 1700s?
truth is most people don't really understand, nor care to.

to change everyone to your way of thinking would take decades of extreme educational efforts working against a media world dominated by demagoguery.
even then, you probably wouldn't succeed.
