Poor Glenn... He's so close and yet still so far away.

I'd like to believe that he could be woken up, but I've been taken in by that pipe dream before.

Color me surprised. I thought Glenn Beck would be in the tank for Romney, but maybe he's not.

Either way, don't expect kind words from me for Glenn on this. I mean, really, welcome to the class, Glenn, have you been daydreaming?

I thought he wanted to vote for Mitt Romney because Obama wanted to destroy America.

Title needs to be fixed based upon the word "Awesome" being used for anything referring to that man.

Well I am not surprised.. These are two of the worst candidates in the history of the united states.. And they agree on everything.. this just proves that it is that obvious..

He is awake and knows what's up. He's just the sneakiest type of liar, the type who speaks 90% truth. His job is to lead sheeple by gaining their trust and then steering them away from people like Ron Paul.

A little extreme there, don't you think? I don't think the OP was posting this because they love Glenn Beck, although I agree with the sentiment that "Awesome" needs to be removed from the title.

Dear God, no I don't like Glenn Beck!! I think it's awesome that he said this because it exposes -- even to the likes of Glenn Beck -- what we've been saying all along: there's no difference between Obama and Romney.

Oh yes, I agree.

And then Glenn Beck quickly capitalizes on this and begins touting it like he's the one who finally pointed it out to everyone. I can just see it now.

There are a lot of people out there who take Glenn Beck seriously and they are voting against Obama because they believe he is anti-American and secretly wants to destroy America. This is what Glenn Beck promotes. To see him acknowledge that there is no difference in what the two candidates visibly promote is one thing, but to see him actually question voting against Obama is pretty big news and definitely something worth sending to anybody who is pro-Beck.

Succinctly put.

And this is definitely the truth. Once upon a time in a galaxy far far away, I once took Beck seriously myself, and I can honestly say that many people might be persuaded to give the candidates another once-over now that even Glenn Beck is questioning the point of voting for one of two people, especially when they seemingly agree with each other on everything.

Beck has some strange views entwined with his libertarianism, but he did never support Romney in the primary. He knows what is up. I suspect he'll throw all his weight behind Rand in 2016. It's a love affair. lol

Yes, clearly Santorum is much better and far more qualified than Mitt to be Big Pubba Prez of the United States of Amerika.

Gag me with a spoon. Unfortunately, I think you're right in your assessment, if Santorum runs again that is. If not, Beck will just go for the next best person. Although I have a feeling to us it's going to be the next worst person...

The only reason he did this is b/c Romney did not advocate bombing every country in the middle east, to think this guy is somehow on our side or would even consider supporting Rand is laughable

And in typical Glenn Beck style, his next tweet will be:


"Romney will save this country from the likes of Obama and the socialist conspirator George Soros" then he will take a skittle shower, take his bi-polar meds and cry himself to sleep.

Santorum was a placeholder endorsement based primarily on the issue of faith. If you read one of his interviews with Santorum, he tore up Santorum good for his questionable votes as Senator.

I really think Beck is on the Rand Paul train since Beck views him as more pragmatic than Ron, and Beck stresses this often. He wants Ron Paul lite.

Ron Paul minus Ron Paul Foreign Policy = Ron Paul lite, aka a neocon dream. I hope Rand knows better.

I still say Beck backs Santorum initially. We'll see.

Seriously? Take off the tinfoil hat. The elites hate having beck out there, that's why he's not on fox anymore. he's not part of some sinister plot. Nobody is going to agree with you 100 percent of the time unless they're forming your opinions for you. I don't even agree with ron paul 90% of the time, does that mean he's a sneaky liar who I shouldnt support?

And he will still avidly support Romney because he has a mouth-breathing audience that believes Obama is a communist Muslim to placate. Give me a break people. Beck is only upset because Romney isn't Rick Santorum on foreign policy. He embraced him primarily because of his rabid, psychopathic warmongering not in spite of it. Who else remembers him bashing Ron on his show and praising Santorum while playing clips from an exchange they had at a primary debate? He was pretty adamant that he much preferred Santorum over Ron because he "understood the middle east". Beck is a fraud.

Beck has preformed this bait and switch many times and has proven himself a snake. No tinfoil here buddy. Beck is the only one who has flipped flopped more than Romney. He will continue to lead his followers to slaughter. Beck is NO Ron Paul.

Oh I agree. But that begs the question, especially considering this was the foreign policy debate, how Beck wishes Romney was different? Is Beck wanting Romney to be more war mongering or less? If less...then Beck is slime for not going all in for Ron Paul. If more.....then Beck is slime for thinking we need more war. Either way....

I don't think he's part of a sinister plot. He has a slightly different world view in which he places his faith as the primary fulcrum as his life. Other than that I don't have a problem with the guy. He's usually spot on with analysis. For example, right now Egypt is right now making overtures to Iran after their regime change. Beck was talking about this potential unification and people were deriding him as crazy months before for even suggesting as much.

Beck's wide awake. He's paid to keep us asleep. His specialty is worming his way into the confidence of those who are just almost awake, and singing them lullabyes at the most critical moments.

What overtures to Iran? Egypt has been calling for Assad, the only Iranian ally left in the region to give up power to the Western backed jihadist militants. If that is making overtures to Iran then I hate to see what they look like if the were going against Iran.

Beck is wrong on Egypt, the few times that he is ever right, he is right for the wrong reasons.

Mubarrak was a thug, but to topple him at this juncture in time was madness, especially with the Muslim Brotherhood, which has established ties to MI:6. This trend is going to foment a situation of grave concern in the future. It's almost appears that someone wants the Middle East to be highly combustible with multiple countries involved...

It is interesting how Beck didn't capitalize Mitt's name, but did Obamas name. Beck is so transparent.

Its not Beck or your call to make. Mubarack was toppled by a grassroot, non violent movement. Its their internal affairs, let them deal with it, but don't worry, he was replaced by a good American puppet. See he is already calling for an attack on Syria, he bombed the border between Israel and Egypt killing quite a few Egyptians. Morsi is going to serve us well.

Muslim brotherhood like it means something :)

Grassroots??? Are you serious??? Read up on the Muslim Brotherhood. It has ties to Western intelligence. Nothing happens by accident. Do you really believe that a country that has received 66 billion dollars in US aid since 1979, simply can throw off their shackles that quickly? Call me crazy but I believe there to be certain elements in our state department that desire chaos in the Middle East, so as to justify further involvement.

I mean every word of it. I remember during the start of the Egyptian revolution, the Obama administration were fully backing Mubarack, they only let go when there was just too much death of innocent protesters (not armed to the teeth rebels like in Libya or Syria). But luckily they were able to replace the old hag Mubarack with a shinny new western supported puppet in Morsi. If you thought it was safe under Mubarack, then you have nothing to fear with Morsi.

Dont let Muslim brotherhood tag fool you, its just as meaningless as the R behind Romney's name

Morsi isn't completely independent, but he actually has options as opposed to Mubarak.

Either that, or he's just trying to make cognitive dissonance seem standard operational procedure.

Say what they want and they'll give me money isn't exactly cognitive dissonance.
