Why on earth did you bump this thread?

It was just some fun...

Can't seem to win on forums.

Steve Deace's latest Facebook post:

New rule: as long as Ron Paul's campaign is working with Occupy Wall Streeters and thinks Santorum and Newt are a bigger threat to the republic than Romney, any pro-Paul posts on my personal page will be an instant unfriend. Thanks.

Wow.

But he just LUUVVz Tom Woods.

Iowa is ancient history, as is this fool. Not sure why people still think he's relevant.

 

[Okie RP fan]

Why was this revived!?

Hahaha.

Anyway, Deace is brainwashed and has clearly shown multiple times that he is prone to the occasional knee jerk reaction and does not do his homework.

He has a national program, actually. Besides, people aren't disposable. But he's wrong, here. Gingrich is seriously bad news, and how can he support SAntorum who pushed no child left behind, etc?

Just listened to an interview with Tom Woods from 1/8/2013. After Woods got off the air, Deace talked about how Woods tried to convince him to endorse Ron in 2012, how he wound up endorsing Gingrich instead, and that Tom Woods was right (that part happens around 29:00 in):

At least he's got enough principles to admit that he's wrong. He seems eager to get behind Rand in 2016.

good for him.

I posted on his page recently, it came up on some topic I was looking into.

I think Steve Deace is one of the few radio hosts who is actually principled and will stand where he believes. He agrees with our positions in so many ways. Overall, he's got some integrity which can't be said about most of them! Other than Jerry Doyle, I can't think of another what could be considered "Conservative" radio host that was so anti-Romney even once he won the primary.

I also like that Deace does admit when he's wrong and has went through his life in the past and pointed out the times when he was wrong and how he has improved himself as a person.

His market is definitely growing also. He's expanding into some major media markets including NYC.

Steve Deace is DEFINITELY a good ally to have.

I'd like Ron on his show now. At the time he was asking Ron to go on, Ron was being sandbagged and since Deace was asking him as a challenger I guess the campaign didn't want him to go, but I agree Deace might have as easily swung behind Ron as not. Meanwhile he has a big audience, and Ron IS religious, personally, he just doesn't feel it is the place of government to force morality on people. I think it could be a great interview.

Oh please. I think it was a calculated "mistake." His mind hasn't changed, nothing has changed, and he'd do the same thing in an instant. It's all about Israel for Deace. As, of course, it is for most of his listeners. This is his career. He's not going to alienate his customers. He's going to tell them what they want to hear. And who was the most rabidly virulently pro-Israel? Newt Gingrich.

In 2016, who is going to be the most insane pro-war pro-Israel maniac? That will be who Deace endorses.

I'm actually not sure that is so with Deace. I think he wanted an excuse to maybe get behind Ron. He came down to 'either gingrich or Paul' before the caucus then I forget when he went to Gingrich, but he has pretty much moved away from the others. He spoke well of them more, and wanted Ron on his show big time, but it was a minefield with Ron soaring before the caucus at that point, and Ron never went on.

He was outright AGAINST Romney, and even spoke about not voting GOP if he won, although I don't follow Deace per se and I don't know how that came out.

 

[helmuth_hubener]

Well that is my assessment, as someone who's listened to and even called in to his show.

You could be right, yet he refused to back Santorum before caucus when he had all the choices because of his Senate votes, and didn't back Bachmann, although he was nice to her. And he was against Romney, and spoke at least 'one of these two' about Ron. But I don't listen to him, really, and only have heard him around Ron. I did get the impression he plays to his listeners, but when it mattered I thought he might have been open.

Any other candidate would be toast after the past 72 hours Paul has had. First there was his refusal to sign the Personhood pledge signed by Bachmann, Santorum, Gingrich, and Rick Perry—despite the fact he signed the Susan B. Anthony pledge. Then there was getting the endorsement of homosexual activist Andrew Sullivan, followed by the revelation of Paul’s close relationship with a family that owns one of the largest infanticide chains in California. But the coup de grace was Paul’s naïve pre-War of 1812 foreign policy views that were sadly on full display Thursday night. Paul’s chances of winning January 3rd were definitely diminished, but it’s hard to tell to which degree because he has a coalition that operates outside the traditional Republican framework and still has the best organization in the state. He’s got such a cult of personality that has abandoned all critical thinking that at this point he could name a unicorn as his running mate, and his hardcore supporters would just latch on all the more. It’s too bad, too, because on the stuff Paul is right about he can’t possibly be more right. One thing is for certain, if a candidate with Paul’s foreign policy views wins the Iowa Caucuses that will be the final nail in Iowa’s first in the nation status. Like it or not, the media and the Republican Party itself will simply discredit the results and start the process over in New Hampshire.

forgive and forget I guess.
I don't know how rand does it, guy should be commended for dealing with folks like this.

The personhood pledge was Deace's baby. that was his most pissed off. Ron wouldn't go on his show to discuss it either, not that I really blamed the campaign at the time. I did think it could go either way, though. And yeah, it was after he had narrowed it to two, Ron being one, and you are reminding me why he wen't off Ron to Gingrich. Even so, he generally was more open.
