Before trashing Beck; a little research on the man will provide the following facts.

He is a Libertarian, not a Conservative...and holds equal disdain for Bush and Obama (and the current corruptions of Democrat and Republican parties). He holds both equally responsible for the current state of the economy. He, like many of his supporters believe in the radical theory that government spending must be reduced (not exploded into the mega-trillions) to begin lowering the national debt.

With the growing extreme leftness of the majority Democrat party leaders and the moderate wimpy RINO-ness of the GOP leaders it appears Beck may be floating trial balloons for the viability of third party candidates (Libertarian-Conservative) in 2010 and beyond.
