If you want a more conservative government you have to start at the local and state level, elect reps and senators, take TOTAL control of the legislature with power to override a veto and then with a president of your choosing you will have real power.
I have never understood what conservatives expected the house and senate to do in opposing Obama, given our slim margins. Impeach him? Never work, not enough votes in the senate. Refuse to fund the government? Newt tried that and it was a disaster for Republicans.
We have made good progress in taking over local and state level offices and that needs to continue and expand to house and senate seats before we focus on putting a lunatic in the White House.


So if he wins ,are you going to leave my country!
You been happy these last seven years!
I have stayed on the sidelines but your post is way over the top.

The national embarrassment was Romney's lame-ass campaign against the worst president this country ever had. He should have been a slam dunk against the Marxist.

Maybe take a stance against unlimited immigration? Don't spend trillions of dollars we don't have? Hearings with an investigation into facts and not partisan bullshit? The House isn't exactly a slim margin but unfortunately the differences between the two parties has eroded over the years.

Yeah, or it looks like someone who actually cares about the facts. I don't care who it is no one should be slammed for something that isn't true. The story was retracted on multiple sites for a reason.

The reason is they are all crazy.

How do you retract a story out all over where he is talking of stabbing someone with a knife and can't stop.

Have you listened to it?

Fuck man defending Glenn Beck the loon now wow.

Glenn Beck Under Investigation For Alleged Threat Against Trump

March 4, 2016 6:58 PM

Follow CBSDFW.COM: Facebook | Twitter

DALLAS (CBS11) – Conservative radio host Glenn Beck is under investigation after a comment he made on his radio show when talking about GOP front-runner Donald Trump. Beck says his comment was not directed towards the presidential candidate.

This appears to be a misunderstanding but the Secret Service tells CBS11 it’s aware of the comment and will conduct an appropriate follow-up investigation.

During his radio show Friday morning, Beck and his producers were talking about the other candidates saying they would support Donald Trump if he becomes the Republican nominee.

His producer mocked Beck after Beck mentioned being in the shoes of Trump’s rivals:

“Was it gigantic shoes?” asked the producer Stu Burguiere.

“If I was close enough and I had a knife. Really. I mean the stabbing just wouldn’t stop,” Beck responded, appearing to direct his comments at Burguiere.

Burguiere said on Facebook, “It was reported that Glenn had threatened to stab a presidential candidate this morning which was odd since I was on the show with him and didn’t notice anything like that… Of course, if you were listening, you know that Glenn actually threatened me, not Donald Trump, so I am in the odd situation of defending my boss for threatening my life.”

The reason the Secret Service said it’s doing a follow-up investigation is because they protect Trump.

Beck’s radio show is based out of Las Colinas and they did not respond to requests for comment Friday.

Glenn Beck is a loon and it's obvious what he was thinking after all he already made it clear Trump is Hitler!

Go ahead and be an idiot defending this loon that needs to be committed.

So, Anderson Cooper, CBS DFW and every other source retracting stories are all idiots defending Beck for posting facts? I don't get what your deal is? I realize hatred is a strong and blinding force, but you should dial it back a bit and not attack and belittle people like me for posting what actually happened. If you want to attack the guy there is enough out there that you don't have to do it with fictitious stories.

Just another one of those, "Throw it out there even if it's a blatant lie." Some folks will believe it no matter how many retractions get aired. The Dems do this all the time and it has worked on a fair percentage of voters.

They had majority positions in both houses!

Yet they did jack shit other than pass every one of the GDCAIC's wishes, including yet another continuing resolution, with increases (IIRC)

Beener and then Ryan are noting but hucksters selling our country down the river. Ryan was instrumental in driving the continuing resolution through even the senate where McNumbnuts can't even summon the energy to do his own fucking job. And that job should have been to do what the populace wanted done when they gave the majority to both houses.

Instead, they all walked in lock step with the GDCAIC. And now they cannot understand why the population at large are so pissed that they want a non-GOPe in the white house, on the outside chance he will do something.

I think this illuminates the main problem, from my perspective. This is an echo chamber. Everyone supporting Trump thinks this is the case, but the country at large does not.

Trump himself could not have beaten Obama in 2012; if he could have, he would have run, then. He came close but didn't run. Why do you think that was? It's pretty clear: he likes to win and understood that he couldn't defeat Obama.

In 2012, your fellow Americans didn't think Obama was the worst president ever or they would have voted him out. He was not easy to defeat, and incumbents never are.

Romney didn't run a bad campaign but his organization did have problems with their technical ground game on election day. Even if that had worked out, he still would have lost, as would virtually anyone else. I can't imagine who could have beaten Obama in 2012.

Many are making the same mistakes today. You're assuming that what you think and feel is what everyone thinks and feels. And you're strengthening your biases by reinforcing them when you see and hear stuff that confirms them and ignoring evidence to the contrary.

Romney could have won if he kept up his game from the first debate into the 2nd and 3rd. Instead, he rolled over and let Obama have his way with him because for some reason the establishment Republicans believe they have to capitulate and be "nice". Absurd.

You're right, mostly. But you forgot about the rampant vote fraud that took place in 2012. That was what pushed Romney out of the victory.

Had the "conservatives" who stayed home, who just couldn't bring themselves to vote for the Mormon, just gone to the polls then the vote fraud wouldn't have been enough to push Obama into the winner's circle. But they sure showed us, didn't they?


Thanks,

Romney in 2012:

Donald Trump has shown an extraordinary ability to understand how our economy works and create jobs for the American people. He’s done it here in Nevada. He’s done it across the country. He understands that our economy is facing threats from abroad.

He is one of the few people who stood up and said, “You know what? China has been cheating. They’ve taken jobs from Americans. They haven’t played fair. We have to have a president who will stand up to cheaters. We believe in free trade and free enterprise, but we don’t believe in allowing people to cheat, day in and day out.”

don't believe it ?

You know what? I liked Trump in 2012, too. I was excited that he might run. I thought that he'd grown up and changed since the days of Atlantic City casinos.

I don't like him now that I've seen how he runs and what his real political history is, etc.

So, I guess I've had the same experience as Romney, there.
