        Good question. Graham and Beck both backed the bailout. Beck cried for a bigger one. I suspect this guy failed to name names of who does speak for the conservative movement.

      Lindsey Graham does not speak for the conservative movement and neither does the bible.

      But it will soon.

      The Republican party is so intertwined with the evangelicals, it's getting harder to tell the difference between them and some religious cult. See links below.

      It's getting so that anyone who doesn't believe in Jesus, and who does not believe God literally created the earth and all life in 6 days, cannot be a "good" Republican.

      So, who DOES speak for the Republican party? Is it Beck? Is it Limbaugh? Or is it some evangelical minister channeling Jesus?

      There certainly aren't any moderates speaking for them.

      This is how twisted the Republican Party is today. The one thing Lindsey Graham says that makes sense, he get criticized for it by a conservative named Terry Jeffrey. Apparently Jeffrey condones the idiotic attacks and behavior of Fox News' Talk show host Glen Beck, even though Beck is defining the Party and hurting the Party.
      If Republicans wasn't filled with hate for Obama, they would denounce Glen Beck and all his stupidity and take a more positive approach for the sake of the country. But as long as they can't get over the fact that a black man is in the oval office, Glen Beck, Sean [Klan]nity and Rush Limbaugh will continue to speak for the Party and the Party will suffer for it.

        No, Beck speaks for the faux conservatives. Nothing these people represent has a thing to do with conservatism.
