Glenn Beck Declares: I Am ‘Done’ with the Republican Party...Hahahahahahaaa...bullshit!

Glenn Beck has long flirted with the idea of leaving the Republican Party once and for all and during his radio show Wednesday morning he finally pulled the trigger.

“I’ve made my decision — I’m out. I’m out of the Republican Party,” Beck declared. “I am not a Republican; I will not give a dime to the Republican Party. I’m out.” And he had some advice for his listeners: “Run from the Republican Party. They are not good.”

Beck went on to accuse the GOP of abandoning their principles by failing to effectively stand against Obamacare and immigration reform. “They set us up,” he said. “Enough is enough.”

“They’re torpedoing the Constitution and they’re doing it knowingly,” the host continued. “They’re taking on people like Mike Lee and Ted Cruz and they are torpedoing them. Knowingly. And these guys are standing for the Constitution.”

which believe in no taxes/no govt, but he's a social conservative so some Libertarians dont accept him.

are going to have to wake up and realize that the Cruz's, Cotton's, etc. are a genuine threat to our nation. They need to seek bipartisan cooperation with the Democrats in order to save our Nation from the damage fear, hatred, and ignorance can bring.

Both factions are currently deep into the process of committing political suicide. The old guard isn't going to do anything about their destructive creation, so I say lets give them all more rope.

In all likelihood the radicals will eat their elder spawners.
I would much rather see a return to actual bipartisanship and a move toward solving the issues that have been put on the back burner for the past decade.

here's his chance...create a 3rd political party. There are plenty of extremists willing to empty out their bank accounts to show the world what patriotism is all about. Go for it.
