The Republican majority has been disappointing. Beck is right about them giving up on immigration and O'care. I changed to Libertarian years ago but our options are limited.

    As long as they can fool 51% of the people half the elections they will never change. Why should they? The fools keep wasting their votes on the lesser of two evils even though they know the GOP candidates are lying. (Yes, of course, the Democrats are lying, too.)

    That makes a lot more sense, but is not what the blurb in the article seems to state.

    Can't believe he is surprised.
    Oh, he's an entertainer and he doesn't actually have to do anything except say things that bring in listeners.
    Neal Boortz broadcasting in Atlanta was a big Libertarian favorite for a few years, but he was just another lying lawyer, too.

    I don't understand. The Republicans lost him when they took a stand against Obamacare and illegal immigration???

    Agreed. I keep waiting for them to surprise me and do something impressive. At this point it would be a shock.

    Yeah, I left long ago. I have been saying for about a year now that the GOP is kaput. They have jumped the shark. There aren't enough check-pants, lock-step, blue bloods in the country to keep the party of Boner (sp incorrect on purpose) afloat.

    At this point the existing GOP leadership should just melt into the Dems and make room for a new party.

    He might want to hurry. They are self destructing even as we speak. I read a book once where the President had most of the power and Congress was basically irrelevant. What was the name of it???

    I have felt for years that the Democrats and Republicans are both fiscal progressives. The major difference now are the social issues. The D's seem to really beat up the R's on those. Amazing how many times the voters got fed up and voted one or the other in for change and we haven't seen a difference.

    There are a few exceptions/good republican politicians, but for the most part they are the progressive, statist light party next to the full blown statist, progressive democrats. The democrats know better how to appeal to emotions, play the media and the people and the republicans are incapable of being persuasive with reason and too concerned with staying in office. If you combine this with a leftist government controlled education system rolling out a majority of ignorant voters... well this is what you get.

    It took me about three years of telling them I changed my party affiliation before they stopped calling for donations.

    I'm with you, Mr. Beck. I haven't given them any money for years.
