      Yes, please do, and make your party the minority for a long long long time to come.

      When are you schmucks going to realize, that there is room under the GOP tent for lots of different opinions, and that indeed, there are different types of republicans/conservatives out there, and you should be WELCOMING ALL of them, because right now, you're driving a large wedge into your own party, and splitting it, and therefore, making you less viable as a party.

      So good luck with that Mr. Beck. Take your crazy loons and go and found the 9/12 teabagger party, and see how far you get.

          That looks suspiciously like a license plate number.

        I thought they were opposed to change. They did not like the revitalized Democratic Party and now they are upset with the Republicans, but instead of their small minority changing, they want the Republican Party to change...

        And what happened to Glenn Beck claiming he was not a Republican or Democrat, but adhering to conservative Libertarian principles? Why does he even care about the Republicans if he doesn't like them, unless it is one big lie??

        They should leave, and then they would realize one thing: there will be no success at the polls because they are the minority. They will cause Republicans and other conservative candidates to lose as long as they fight the GOP...

          The teabaggers are bunch of people who cannot come to terms with Obama as a President. It's more of a therapy group for people suffering from "Obama Derangement Syndrome." They are turning against their own because they have had it in their heads that making a lot of noise would stop Obama from being President. It still has not set in yet and they have convinced themselve that making a big play for 2010 is another chance to get rid of President Obama. these are the same people who want to impeach Obama for...becoming President.

          Beck is just saying something to get himself back into shape. he needs to feel that his ratings are because of him not just as a result of the establishment of a common meeting place of the paranoid.

      YES! Please leave the republican party. Split the party - IT WILL WORK BECK! I swear. You have the grass roots movement. You can do it. And take the tea baggers as controversial as the party can possibly be - just make all your conspiracy theories, the platform of the party. Tell your voters - no more kenyan, racist presidents, no more fema death camps, no more obama armies, no more death panels for grandma, no more forced vokuntary community service, no more tea tax from England!!! Your party can fix all that - if you break the republican party all of that will cease to exist because of you. I beg you beck - DO IT

      A few things:

      1.) Ever notice how Glenn Beck is always subtly hoping for a huge "emergency"? Like another terrorist attack. Another 9/11. He'll be the first in line to blame Obama... and his loyal audience will be right there next to him. Scary. So, instead of America having to worry about 1 terrorist attack, we have to worry about 2. The initial strike, and then the Glenn Beck attack.

      2.) This sounds like the same lady that calls his show a lot.

      3.) The strategy Glenn Beck describes also is used for drug addicts and alcoholics. It's called "intervention". Glenn Beck is trying to stage an "intervention" for the Republican party.

      The only way to change a republican is with a Frontal Lobotomy. The main question would be should they do it now or wait until Health Care Reform passes?
