Where is Steve King of my home state of Iowa? He is up there with Bachmann in this cuckoo nest.

Wow, so McCain is much LIKE Reagan, the "conservative" poster child.

As for the tea bagging nuts... not surprised at all.

John McCain is a disappointment to the Teabaggers b/c he actually works in government and knows he can't dig in his heels all the time.

Besides, I hate to side with slightly over-weight batty old ladies and dudes with mullets and fu-man-chu moustaches. Also southern bible belter types annoy in general.

I hate that Beck hijacked the "Don't tread on me flag" I wanted that tattooed into me like five years ago, before anyone knew what it was. Thank God I thought twice about it.

People who carry signs that say "Teabagging for Jesus" should not be surprised when other people use their terminology. People who go to these tea parties, send tea bags to the congressmen (the origin of the term "teabagger' in this context) should be proud of what they do, and should not consider it an insult to be called a teabagger. People with minds in the gutter should seek higher ground.

At least Glen Beck has accomplished something in the last year. Something Obama has NOT done.

Beck took down two of Obama's mistakes, remember those two commi czar friends of Obamas that Beck took down and made the lame duck look like a fool?

You must be scared and worried about the Tea Party crowd, you know those people who only want less government in their lives and fiscal responsibility.

How dare those people demand that.

On the opposite end would be the far left whacks called the Kool-Aider Party, the club who loves free handouts, government telling them when to wipe and when not to wipe and the cheese, all the free cheese you can eat if you are a left wing Kool-Aid card carrying member. Oh, forgot one, your only requirement is you have to hate America because of it's freedoms and laws.

As oooooffff..... 14 months ago. Where were the fours years and 14 months ago? In the voting booths checking off G.W. and his neo Liberal/Con agenda. Funny how neo-con and neo-liberal mean the same thing basically.

I don't recall them ever calling for smaller government or personal freedom until now. I don't remember them protesting Bush's expansion of Federal Government by 30%. Did they protest the No Child Left Behind Act? This is an out and out socialist measure, federally taking over school districts. It even affected private schools. This why you can't trust the tea parties.

Yeah, Obama and the Dems are whackjobs, but elected polticians have been pushing more or less for the same agenda for awhile.

I love it when you see Glenn Beck fighting for "traditional family values", although I largely agree with what that implies in my personal life, I am really all about personal freedom. But once someones argues for these as he does as a way to govern, personal freedom and responsibility go out the window.

They'll never forgive him for that. Even though he walks the line nowadays.

This is one radical group of hard core right wing nuts here.

John McCain is vilified among right wingers because, he is a Republican Progressive. He is middle of the road GW. Bush's twin.

The torture deal has nothing to do with it. The guy was tortured himself, so that point would have been a give-me.

McCain is too middle of the road.

Time has come, America is waking up with the help of people like Beck & Malkin, just how far we have swayed from what the Constitution and the Bill of Rights, stated we're the free constitutional republic, like no other. There was a reason we got away from England, France, Spain and Mexico.
There was a reason there were no federal taxes. Good reasons.
