Glenn Beck: Bush's Compassionate Conservatism Must 'Die Violent Death' Message:

[pnorman]

If the Republican Party has any chance of regaining its leading position, it must put to "death" George W. Bush's "compassionate conservatism," says top talker Glenn Beck.

Beck, a rising ratings star at Fox News and one the nation's leading talk hosts, has earned his popularity taking on some of the most cherished shibboleths of the Republican establishment.

During a Fox News interview with top radio talker Rush Limbaugh this past Thursday, Beck used the occasion to slam Bush's policies as inherently detrimental to core Republican principles.

Beck asked Limbaugh: "Rush, will you — help me out on this, because you always get thrown under the bus, that — well, you know, where were you when George Bush was spending, et cetera, et cetera. Address — because I — I have to tell you, the Republican Party doesn't get it. You just said, echoed again what I was saying about the progressive Republicans. George Bush, this compassionate conservative movement has got to die a violent death."

Note: for the past 4 or 5 years, I've been on that NewsMax emailing list. I suspect that an anonymous "friend" had given them my email address, and out of morbid fascination I couldn't bring myself to have it removed. My all time favorite article from there was on the eve of last year's election. They confidently predicted a "dead heat"!

Last I heard, he was DEMANDING they apologize to him for pointing out that he was a stone liar.

And ........................ what?

"yeah!" to "do you like me and what I'm saying" 50 times a day... you are a certified loser.
