Dream Ticket: Palin/Beck - The Atlantic Politics Channel

Quite honestly, I find any ticket produced by either the Republicans or Democrats scary.

**bravesfan007** · 11-19-2009, 11:44 AM

I'm not sure if I find it that scary. I mean, I don't think they would stand a chance of getting elected. I think someone running along the same "party" could get elected, but I'm not sure if people would get behind these two in masses.

**Rainer.** · 11-19-2009, 11:45 AM

This is yet another situation where I'm wondering why an offhand comment by a politician suddenly turns into "news".

**Skeeter** · 11-19-2009, 11:54 AM

That's a dream ticket...for the Democrats. There's not a chance that those two would get elected, so it would guarantee another term for Obama.

Which is why the Republicans won't be foolish enough to let that ticket happen.

Sarah Palin wouldn't rule it out? Yeah right. The Republicans aren't that clueless.

QFT.

I am no big fan of either party, but all I have heard from Beck scares me. Palin is Palin, I see her as being more of a GWB than anything else.
But I for the life of me can't imagine a good ticket from either party.

Well I am back from vacation and I guess it is time to stir the pot. I don't like that ticket- I prefer a Beck Palin ticket. Definitely not a Gop or Dem Party but a new Conservative PArty.

You would be surprised! Beck is just growing in popularity as well as Palin. Palins book was #1 on teh NYT list befre it was even released and is already in 2nd printing and ready for the 3rd. Beck is the only nonfiction writer to have 3 books simultaneously inthe top 10 of the NYT list at teh same time.

The GOP does not want Beck because He blasts them as much as he does the Dems. He is for fiscal restraint and common sense approach to govt. I think he could win and win fairly big.

I would prefer a party where Sarah Palin is serving drinks and doing very little else.

You're deluded. Honestly.

It wouldn't make any sense. Or would it be the only possible ticket that would actually make any sense, and therefore, doesn't make any sense?

Making sense is not something that's allowed in politics, you know.

Now this, I can agree with. It's about time the Neo-Cons did their own thing and stopped ruining the Republican party.

Beck writes 'non-fiction,' eh? Hmm....

We desperately need to add an education requirement to the list of requirements for being elected to the office of President. I would like to see a doctorate in something that matters, or a law degree. How is it a bad idea for the person leading our country to actually have to be educated?

Beck won't even come out and say he didn't rape and murder a young girl in 1990. I'm not saying he did. Neither was the website he sued (and lost against), but I'm just asking the question: Why won't he say he didn't?

A short lesson on how most books get on the NYT "best-seller" list (especially before they are available for sale: that should have been a clue). The publisher "buys" a million of it's own books.

I saw an interview at a bookstore in manhattan last night. They ordered 7 copies of the book. At the time of the interview: none had sold.

He's for making a lot of money by being a walking cliche'.

You are joking right? Glenn Beck has about as much chance of winning a presidential election as Ed Schultz or Keith Olbermann. No one that polarizing stands even the remotest chance of getting the nomination from a party. You know that though. I guess everyone can dream

Our local conservative talk radio station just announced a recent poll showed that 53% of Americans said they would never consider voting for Palin. Don't know any more than that, but that doesn't sound too good for her

Well then, you certainly can't support a Beck/Palin ticket: they support the war machine, Palin was a wasteful spender who supports using taxpayers money to subsidize big business, etc. Beck exaggerates, plays on fears, and is generally a rambling madman.

Politically, they aren't conservative. Or perhaps they're what conservative means now: love war, love big government, love big spending, hate liberal social policies.

Holy cow, nolidad, are you really Glenn Beck in surprise? He wants us to believe he blasts the GOP as much as he does the Dems...this, however, is simply not true.

When a person asserts a statement that is not true, they are either mistaken or lying. If they are repeating a statement they heard without checking if it was factual, they are a dangerous source of info.

I watch a lot of Beck. He doesn't rag on the GOP like he does the Dems -- even when Bush was in office he didn't!
