But can you find sources for them?

Glenn Beck has the 100% support of Fox News management."

Whatever the reason, his popularity is astonishing. Since joining Fox News from CNN last year, he has attracted nearly three million viewers for his 5 p.m. television broadcast, a time slot considered one of the worst in the industry. His radio show is aired on more than 400 affiliates and he has had six bestselling books.
I don't think Beck has to worry about his popularity or salary wavering.

In June 2009, estimators at Forbes calculated Beck's earnings over the previous 12 months at $23 million, with 2009–2010 revenues on track to be higher.[65] Although the majority of his revenue results from his radio show and books, his website's 5 million unique visitors per month also provides at least $3 million annually, while his salary at Fox News is estimated at $2 million per year.[65] Additionally, Beck's online magazine Fusion sells an array of Beck-themed merchandise,[65] while his website offers a web subscription service called "Insider Extreme" where for $75 a year one gets access to behind-the-scenes footage and a fourth hour of his daily radio show.[1] In April 2010, Forbes calculated Beck's earnings for the previous year (March 2009 - March 2010) to be $32 million
Funny, it's always the conservatives I see with teh yellow stripes anytime a Mulim gets within 100 miles of them.
So you admit that you liberals are scared of Beck instead of refuting my point? Cool
Because you're killing the tax on tanning booths and premium health plans? Outside of that, Obama's plan (which is nothing like socialized medicine) was self-funded. Killing those two revenue streams won't change that.
How is it self funded when it adds trillions to our national deficit? Deficits that our kids and their grand-kids will pay off? How do you give health care to the lazy for free? The savings you're talking about are made because the CBO predicts that Medicare will be cut by $2 trillion over the next 10 years. Want to bet me to see if that happens?

America today suffers the spectacle of a President of the United States, and Democrat Congressional leadership, proclaiming to the nation that their socialized medicine plan will reduce budget deficits, based on fantastic assumptions of trillions of dollars in intractable cuts to Medicare that would leave that program unworkable in delivering health care to the America’s seniors.

But $2.0 trillion wouldn’t be the total ten-year costs. Instead, that would merely be the “gross cost of coverage provisions.” Based on earlier incarnations of the proposed overhaul, the total costs would be about a third higher (the exact number can’t be gleaned from the CBO’s analysis, which is only preliminary and is not a full scoring) — making the total price-tag between $2.5 and $3 trillion over the bill’s real first decade.
How would we pay for all of this? According to the CBO, by diverting $1.1 trillion away from already barely-solvent Medicare and spending it on Obamacare, and by increasing taxes on the American people by over $1 trillion. Among the Medicare cuts would be cuts of $25,000 in Medicare Advantage benefits per enrollee — up from $21,000 in the previous scoring. To be clear, those living in South Florida wouldn’t have to worry about this, as the newly politicized nature of health care would cause them to be exempted. These cuts would affect only less-fortunate seniors, namely those living in just about any other part of the country.
Medicare already suffers an unfunded liability of $38 trillion according to Medicare’s own government actuaries. What Obama and Congressional Democrats are proposing is to loot $2.5 trillion from Medicare over the next 20 years to spend on new entitlements under Obamacare, and leave Medicare with that overwhelming unfunded liability.
Still, since the conservatives have almost no chance at winning the Senate, and no chance at all of getting 2/3 of either the house or the Senate, your bravado seems to lack support in reality.

You're about to lose your Senate Majority Leader....
The latest Rasmussen Reports telephone survey of Likely Voters in Nevada finds Angle with 49% support and Reid at 48%.
Mike Lee ousted long term liberal Bob Bennett here in Utah. All around we're seeing a revolution. People are beginning to remember the Constitution. This is the cycle that is explained in the book 5,000 year Leap. You should read it.
Free markets are very good at creating wealth for the wealthy and keeping the poor poor.
It also keeps people motivated to work. It's also the foundation of our country. Sorry, we aren't socialists here. This country was founded upon freedom. You can be rich here if you want, just work at it. You can be a bum if you want, but just don't expect me to pay for it.
Since there have been taxes.
Yeah, because the government takes our taxes. That doesn't mean that they generate money or jobs. The private sector creates jobs and money, not government.
I understand the bleeding hearts in today's discussion. But the bottom line is, we cannot allow the government to hijack the auto industry, take over the health care industry, and tax us all to death. This country was founded upon freedom. And if the people of this country do not hold leaders to uphold the Constitution, then we give them unlimited power.
That's why I love watching Glenn Beck. Hate him if you want, but he's out there warning us about the dangers of giving one man, Obama, complete and unlimited power. Our government needs to get back to the principles that the founding fathers established.
Freedom, free market, and small and limited federal government.
