Beck to O’Reilly: GOP Race is ‘Battle of the Big Government Republicans’

Glenn Beck joined Bill O‘Reilly on Fox News to talk about Beck’s new book, “Being George Washington.” But the first part of the conversation mostly centered on the GOP presidential race. Beck didn’t hold back any criticism about the two frontrunners, Romney and Gingrich, calling it a “battle of the big government republicans.” He also revealed who he would vote for:

    I guess people see what they want to see. There were stories about Romneycare, about his support for Cap n Trade and I remember a Radio segment that Stu and the crew lashed out at Romney for his Global Warming comments. Glenn also just said that Romney and Newt are big government types; I don’t think that is a ringing endorsement for Mitt.

      FF… please comment on the 88 new fees Romney proposed for his first budget… and the dozens of fees that he increased anywhere from 50 to 300%. How about the new department he created to try to suck all the grants out of DC that he could. That is how he closed the budget gap. If Romney isn’t big government, then why did the government grow in MA while he was there? I suppose the fact that MA health care costs are rising about 40% faster than the rest of the country is because of those darned democrats who completely changed everything that your “libertarian” Romney had wanted. Your “1%” of the MA budget is completely false. RomneyCare has costed about 10 times more than Romney thought it would (although I guess you’ll argue again that it was those danged dems who changed everything).

      Romney‘s idea of personal responsibility is that same as Obama’s: The government decided what you HAVE to do (buy health insurance) and then the government decides what benefits you get. Libertarians believe that YOU make the decisions, and YOU deal with the consequences. Arguing that a government takeover of healthcare is libertarian is utterly ridiculous. Also, how is subsidizing health insurance for 133,000 people in MA making them be responsible? Are you going to argue that ObamaCare is libertarian for doing the same thing RomneyCare does? RomneyCare also forces younger and healthier individuals to pay higher premiums in order to subsidize premiums for the old and sick. Man that sounds libertarian to me!

      Romney claims that his plan only costs about one percent of the Massachusetts budget and is, therefore, not a budget-busting, big government program. In making this claim, however, Romney fails to note that that accounting does not take into account more than $300 million annually in federal funds. Nor does it count the costs that were pushed off onto Massachusetts businesses and taxpayers through the individual and employer mandates, or the costs of increased insurance premiums.

      Half of RomneyCare’s new spending was financed by the federal government through the Medicaid program, which is financed through federal taxes, which fall on taxpayers in all 50 states.

      Okay, your first link simply quotes a large portion of Romney’s book. Great evidence. By the way I notice that it also quotes Romney’s lie that 2/3 of MA citizens like RomneyCare. That is an example of cherry picking… taking a poll which favors you and stating it as if it is a fact. I have half a dozen polls which show that the majority of those in MA dislike RomneyCare.

      Your libertarian argument is, like I said, completely ridiculous. Your link from the Heritage Fnd. explains this quite well. “Romney essentially says, ‘You will be free to choose, but your choices will have consequences.’” In other words, buy our government-forced health insurance or you’ll be forced to put $10,000 in a state-run escrow account. Oh, if you don‘t do that you won’t be allowed to claim a personal exemption on your state tax return (aka, you’ll be fined). That is the antithesis of libertarianism… force at the point of the government’s gun. This is a false choice, and it is not freedom (under anyone’s definition besides Romney, the Heritage Fnd, and liberals). Obama could make the exact same argument for ObamaCare. Forced responsibility.

      I’m starting to think that you work for the Heritage Foundation. Is that true? How about you find some other sources besides the co-author of ObomneyCare?? That is why I said it is like quoting Ann Romney… Of course they are bias towards Romney!

      FF… If RomneyCare is such a libertarian plan, wouldn’t you agree that YOU should look at some actual libertarian thoughts on RomneyCare? You call me ignorant for not bowing down and worshiping the Heritage Foundation like you do. The Heritage Foundation does not represent libertarian ideas, and they thus have no right to call something libertarian when no sane minded libertarian agrees with what they say. Have YOU looked at what the actual libertarian think tanks say about RomneyCare? All you read is the Heritage Foundation and the Daily Candidate.

      You find it annoying to have to repeat yourself? All you do is repeat yourself!… “Did anyone notice that there is a panel trying to figure out if Romney is a flip-flop? I’m following the daily candidate to see if he really is.” You try to be the first to comment on whichever comment ends up staying on the top of page 1. You say nearly the exact same thing every time, and you post the exact same link every time. Now you try to say I’m the reason that you are annoyed because you have to repeat yourself? “I don‘t know who I’m voting for, but Romney is looking pretty impressive! Check out the daily candidate!“ ”If you don’t like the health plan that Romney and the Heritage Foundation constructed, check out all these links to the Heritage Foundation and quotes from Romney!”

    Mitt has a vulnerability. Massachusetts. While I disagree with Bob Beckel, the democrat on The Five and Hannity, 99% of the time, he had a good point a few weeks ago.Should Obama have the courage to engage in a debate with Mitt, he could end it by thanking Mitt for his health care plan. It saved Obama a lot of work because it only required changing state references to federal ones. After that, the rest of the debate would be just jaw exercise.

    Critics allege Mitt Romney flip-flopped on Global Warming because he has stated that he believes man contributes some to global warming, although he was quick to state that he doesn’t know how much, while on another occasion he stated his opposition to cap-and-trade. This is not a flip-flop however, for multiple reasons. First, Mitt Romney while Governor rejected a regional cap-and-trade initiative, and has consistently opposed cap-and-trade. Second, Mitt Romney stated his full position in his book, No Apology, and his position contains an acknowledgement of the earth’s temperature rising, an acknowledgement that he doesn’t know how much man is contributing, an acknowledgement of reasons to be skeptical of what climate scientists are saying, and an acknowledgement that cap-and-trade is a very bad idea. None of these things are contradictory. They are all part of his position, which is a “no regrets” policy of only doing things which reduce carbon if those things are also beneficial economically. He gives the examples of natural gas and nuclear power expansion, as well as efficiency in power plant technology and other actions to make us energy independent.

    You are absolutely correct about Mitt Romney. He has a whopping 4 years of service in political life. All of those as the Conservative Governor of Liberal Massachusetts.
    If ANYONE can rightly claim total exclusion from Washington – it is Mitt Romney. And I would challenge Glenn or anyone to qualify otherwise.

    It’s a shame that Glenn feels a greater responsibility to “looking” impartial by not properly vetting the Mormon candidate. The reality is he‘s passing up on the BEST candidate we’ve had for years – maybe decades!

    What we‘re forgetting here is that the POTUS really doesn’t have that much power. All the Paul folks think if he‘s elected that WE’RE SAVED!! Not gonna happen. He can’t get enough support in congress to make much of what he says happen. Yes as commander in chief he could bring home the forces but even that would be a battle he might lose.

    Possibly with executive orders, which aren’t really Constitutional in my opinion, he might could affect the Fed but he would never get the backing to dismantle it.

    As for anyone else, the best we can do is to try to get someone that can best draw the support of Congress and get majorities in both houses, and even then it will be a battle because they all want to keep power and control over us.

      @lordchamp… exactly right! No President can enact all of the changes we need or want on his own. Even the power the President does have is greater than it was meant to be. While I may have my personal preference among the current candidates, all that really matters in that contest is that any one
      of them gets in the White House. Another 4 years of Obama would be an epic disaster.

      Everyone who wants a smaller, more responsible, closer-to-the-Constitution government (no matter if you are in the Tea Party movement, a 912 group, a Paul/Romney/Gingrich/Bachman/etc supporter, a Libertarian, or just p!$$ed oft) should focus all their attention and energy on getting a majority of like

      AMERICA IS BROKEN:
      We have a system where laws don’t apply to the lawmakers,
      a system where congress sets their own pay and benefits which is about 70% more than the average American gets,
      a system where lawmakers personally profit from their decisions,
      a system where lawmakers take from one group to buy the votes from another group, and
      in the end, a system that breeds greed and corruption by stealing from hard working Americans.

      I for one say no more.
      We cannot afford to have a system where the Fox watches the hen house.
      We have to take Washington D.C.’s ability to tax and spend away.
      We have to repel the 16th and the 17th Amendments, which will shift power back to the states.
      Allow states to tax and spend as they see fit.
      I know these changes will create a better system than we currently have.
      Reestablishing a new taxation system is only the starting point when reviving America.

      We must also increase Energy production, rebuild our Education system, stop Illegal immigration, and focus more on our own homeland not other nations.

      Here is more proof America is broken:

      Each year, Washington D.C. takes money from every state then divides it up among the states, and hands it back out. Some states end up with a net loss (pay in more than they receive back) while others have net gain (get more back than they pay in). Using public references (if you trust them) one can calculate winners and losers. All values listed are in the BILLIONS.

      In 2005, the top five losers: New York $54, New Jersey $43, Illinois $38, Minnesota $36 and California $23

      In 2005, the top five winners: Virginia $41, Alabama $22, Maryland $20, District of Columbia (DOC) $20 and Florida $19

      In 2007, the top five losers: New York $87, New Jersey $58, Texas $54, California $54 and Illinois $47

      In 2007, the top five winners: Virginia $48, Alabama $24, DOC $23, Mississippi $20 and Maryland $17

      In 2008, the top five losers: New York $56, New Jersey $50, Minnesota $43, Illinois $34 and Texas $26

      In 2008, the top five winners: Virginia $52, DOC $28, Kentucky $27, Maryland $24 and Alabama $23

      Year 2009 not many losers

      In 2009, the top five winners: Virginia $97, California $81, Florida $66, Maryland $48 and Michigan $36

      Why are Virginia, District of Columbia (DOC), and Maryland always winners? Who spends >80% their time in these 3 areas? On your own, take a look at which counties in Virginia and Maryland received the most federal dollars. You probably won’t be surprised.

    Once again, we will be put in a situation where we will have to pick the least smelly of two piles of crap. It was the same story with the last election, and it will be thus with this election. There is no way a “normal and honest” American citizen will EVER be elected POTUS. It just won’t happen. You can’t get to the point of being able to run unless you make some deals with the devil (so to speak).

    Local city politicians can get by with being honest (sometimes) but national politicians are ALWAYS dirty. Honestly this is why (I think) my governor Mitch Daniels is not running. I remember him saying in an interview that once you get to the national level, your hands will be soiled, never to be clean again.

    I think he is right.

    I know alot of you are under the hope that a new POTUS will be elected, and things can be turned around, and made better. Truth is, that is a pipe dream. It will never get better, we will never be “Free” as we used to know it. The government will just keep growing (no matter who is in charge) and those who gain power will never relinquish it. The only time high government officials ever step down, is when the consequences of them staying are bad for them personally. And in our country, politicians are a protected species. They get to do whatever they want, break laws, and walk away with a slap on the wrist (if even that). Until they face HARSH penalties for their actions, NOTHING will change.

She advocates more of the same, a massive military industrial complex and central bank that robs us of our prosperity and freedom. She doesn’t talk about the true threats to us, that being the massive government having taken over virtually every part of our lives through fear and intimidation.

      If you think that the Patriot Act that Bachman voted for is constitutional, you must not be very familiar with the constitution.

      Ahhhh, I love the venom spued forth by a scorned Ron Paul supporter. While its true she did vote to continue the patriot act she did so while holding her nose & she explains why it was lesser of two evils. If you watch the interveiw she did with Beck you would know that she plans on ending the Fed. Big goverment all the way, right.
      As far as recalling all troops from around the world & leaving those peoples to the wolves like Ron Paul would do. It wouldn’t be long before the same wolves would be on our doorstepexcept they would have many more teeth than they have at this time. Pure genius.

      Leaving what people to what wolves?
      Do you realize the people in Israel are as divided on war/peace/solutions as America is? Do you think the people of Israel live in the stone age like the rest of the Middle East? No way. Israel is rich and can defend itself just fine if the US will get out of the way. I‘m shaking my head wondering who it is in the Middle East you’re so worried about while America crumbles from a financial collapse.

      Ok, just so you know there are maybe 300 nukes in Pakistan & Afganistan, you know those people still living in the middle ages.I guess their middle age nukes.
      Case & point of my last comment. If we pulled our 30,000 troops( not sure of the #) out of S. Korea how long before they would be over-run by N. Korea & China which would result in genocide. You could say the same for S. Veitnam,Kuwait,The Philippines & on & on. If they loose, we loose.

      @Million
      You are still spewing the South Korea needs to be worried about North Korea and China crap. south Korea is just fine. North Korea can hardly keep their lights on let alone pose any risk to South Korea. China doesn’t want North Korea any more than it wants South Korea. The chinese government is having a hard enough time dealing with it’s population. Why would they add the 25 millions people form North Korea, who would be nothing but a drain on the chinese people. Let alone add the 50 million from South Korea. That would continually be fighting against the chinese who were occupying their territory. The chinese government is not stupid, and they would not waste money or resources on a war in Korea with absolutley no advantages. the only reason they are still defending North Korea is because we are in South Korea. Leave South Korea and China will pull support from North Korea. Stop thinking that all government leaders around the world are as stupid as ours are.

      I’m fearful of the same thing, but I’m hopeful the Tea Party is a much bigger influence than the Marxstream Media is letting on. I hope Cain stays in, and the Tea Party supports him for the nomination.

      @Unfounded fathers,

      Ron Paul will garner the anti-war base of democrats, which is most of them.

      Romney is a chameleon, he changes color to his surroundings. But you are correct he has fooled 20%.

    Finally Newt says something honest in his press conference last night, this is a direct quote:
    “One of the real changes that comes when you start running for President — as opposed to being an analyst on Fox — is I have to actually know what I’m talking about,” he said.

      You have things quite twisted. But I do agree that Ron Paul is not crazy and is mostly right on almost everything(even the drugs). It’s just his foreign policy.

      I think most us on this site or people like Beck and Rush agree with most of what he says and believes in.

      But don’t try to twist it. Becuase thats just a lie.

      I put their own words up there for you to see/hear.
      It looks like GB is the one “twisting” things.
      I remember when GB said Sanitorum was not even worth consideration because he endorsed the Federal Reserve. This was back when GB’s show was almost over on Fox, and he was having individual candidates on to discuss their policies. NOW he thinks Sanitorum is a good guy?

      To all not-Ron Paul supporters, you just need more information. That what Glenn is saying about FED is only a tip of iceberg. Please listen to Alex Jones also, if you have time. I like them both. Alex have more in depth info, Glenn have good solutions to fix our country, except presidential pick.

      I know for fact, Pat Grey, from GB program, hates Ron Paul, cuz Paul is friend with Alex Jones.

    Well, it WILL take someone who understands “big government” to dismantle it. Anyone who doesn‘t comprehend all of it’s inner workings will surely be swallowed up. Whoever the GOP nominates, the people are going to have to be a lot more proactive in holding them accountable for their actions (and promises) and GOP candidates should agree to that before we vote for ANY of them. Maybe I‘m dreaming but that’s what I’m thinking.

    Beck is Romney all the way. I like Beck, he’s got courage, he has sacrificed his life for exposing evil, however he is for Romney. Has anyone read any negative stories on the Blaze about Romney? I haven’t! I have almost all the other ones who has a chance at the nomination! Just saying! I know the resources that Beck has, he has exposed things no one else has, don‘t tell me a wealthy man like Romney who was Gov of Mass doesn’t have any negative stories that hasn’t been dug up, I won’t believe it. No, I’m not a Romney fan. I will vote the GOP nominee regardless of who it is but Romney is far from the best choice, the beat Obama or anything else! Newt is the best opportunity to beat Obama and to straiten out Obama’s mess!

      Not only is Obama going to be re-elected but the tide of Tea Party candidates is going fade in 2012. Pole after pole shows the growing dissatisfaction with the TP backed candidates put into office in 2010. Buyer’s remorse has set in and the House gains will be lost in 2012. Classic over reach, snap back situation.

      I guess people see what they want to see. There were stories about Romneycare, about his support for Cap n Trade and I remember a Radio segment that Stu and the crew lashed out at Romney for his Global Warming comments. Glenn also just said that Romney and Newt are big government types; I don’t think that is a ringing endorsement for Mitt.

      I don’t really agree that. I do believe him he says wants Bachman but I do believe that he wants Romney over Newt. I dis-agree with him on that. Newt is better than Romney but there is no reason Bachman can’t be our canndidate. You think she is has better standings than she can win if YOU stand up for it.
