The RINO, most coward, Romney:

support ME for this, even while YOU rot in jail.”

I read Ann's latest column with a heavy heart. I came away with the unmistakable feeling that she has lost faith in the philosophy and movement she has been a firebrand for until now. And I think about how it happens that a person at the age of 50 becomes the very cheerleader for the status quo that she argued against these many years.
I believe it is true that as we age we develop different thoughts about things, through experience, through people we meet, through having to be forced to take a position on something we cannot imagine when there hasn't been a reason to take a stand. These revelations come upon us and make us think through what is truly important. To Ann, I suppose, what is truly important is, what did she say?...not taxes, or the economy, or turning away from socialism. Not debt-reducing and deficit-cutting, not freezing public pay, not freeing the private sector. Not slashing regulations nor unleashing domestic energy sources, not joblessness, nor is it important to prepare for the inevitable high inflation caused by Obama's policies. She said it is two things. Repealing Obamacare, and halting illegal immigration.
In order for Ann to come up with this argument, she had to throw away a lot of possible counters. She had to find two single-issues that would be pluses for her guy Romney, and negatives for the only true conservatives in the race, Bachmann and Santorum. Now, whether or not what she says is truthful about the two conservatives, it is mind-numbingly obvious that what she is saying about Romney is unprovable because it is basically a forecast.
She says that Romney will repeal Obamacare. We don't know that, and in fact, if the Supreme Court says next spring that it is constitutional, I highly doubt Romney will touch it with a ten-foot pole. How do I know this? Simple, Republicans would say that it would be a highly unpopular and unnecessarily provocative move for a President to erase key signature legislation that is in fact Constitutional. How do I know this? Observation. What I find striking about Coulter's write-off of Bachmann is that she ignores that Bachmann has been perhaps the only person in Congress to continuously find ways to stop Obamacare through defunding. She bucked leadership to do it, that takes guts and fortitude with an eye on the betterment of the country. It shows a willingness to do the right thing for the country and is part of her record. Give me a gutsy gal over a mush-mouth anyday.
Ann implies that Santorum will, if elected, apparently take all law enforcement off the borders, and encourage illegal immigration, why, perhaps he will direct the United States Government to make pamphlets to air drop over Mexico that say, come on over, sorry we didn't do this sooner!
Does anybody believe that? Of course not.
So as I said, it is with a heavy heart that I read her stuff anymore. I feel silly sometimes, thinking back when I wondered if I would ever get a chance to meet the author in person, perhaps have her sign some of the books I bought. I know now that I don't want her to put her name to something she isn't serious about. This suggestion of hers that the United States of America is closer to a blue state than a red one is proof that she has lost faith in the American people. She threw away the notion of a conservative country back when she made fun of Sarah Palin's voice and fans, and bought the line that Republicans must be concerned only of NorthEastern nobility. She has lost faith in conservatism and is trying desperately to attach the word to a man who can be described as anything but, and all you have to do to realize what he is, is hear that he touts himself as a consensus-builder.
Margaret Thatcher once said, "There are still people in my party who believe in consensus politics. I regard them as Quislings, as traitors... I mean it."
Prime Minister Thatcher was right. Those who would speak of bipartisanship during a primary season has his mind on the wrong thing. He is putting party politics before his country and suggesting that his party does not have the philosophy necessary to win the national argument. He doesn't put his faith in the common sense and values of the American people.
We didn't win the elections of 2010 through consensus-building. Us "political newcomers" won it by expressing conservatism and decrying the Democrat Party. Us "johnny-come-lately's" are the nation, we are the backbone of this country, we are conservatives. Conservatism crosses party lines because it is the philosophy of America. Those of us that have our feet on the ground can see this, and we continue to have faith in the American people even if some who have come before us have lost theirs.
She done been kicked in duh head and suffered bain dwamage...
...along with her mind.
Coulter only care about style over substance
‘What’s it all about - Annie - is it just for the moment we live? What’s it all about - when you sort it out Annie?
Are we meant to take more than we give?

The RINO, most coward, Romney:
"I bet you $10,000 that I can seduce docile Ann Coulter to

Coulter is also an elitists imho. She is embarrased by Bush’s “gaffes” and is hoping for a candidate that is well spoken
“Ann Coulter Has Lost Faith”
But ann coulter has gained a fortune from rooking conservatives. Now she wants the gold embossed invitations and a grand porfolio.
Ann Rice wrote porn to earn enough money to do what she really wanted to do. coulter is no different than Ann Rice, except that Ann Rice was honest.
It happened to Goldwater. Others?
“Coulter is also an elitists imho. She is embarrased by Bush’s “gaffes” and is hoping for a candidate that is well spoken”
Some of his “gaffes” were truly embarrassing - amnesty, campaign finance, failure to pardon Scooter and the border agents, No child left behind, medicare part D.
Regrettably, she has become our very own Maureen Dowd.
Regrettably, she has become our very own Maureen Dowd.
Regrettably, she has become our very own Maureen Dowd.
Ann Coulter has become a Republican first and conservative second, and surrendered principle over pragmatism. She would support Obama if he was on the GOP ticket.
Never cared for her. AC was good at the occasional jab; good not great. The rest was her image and an ability to parlay it into a cult of personality in her limited conservative market.
(Conservatives swear they are above personality cult attachments. Their idols are deserving, doncha know.)
Men in particular will always find much to admire in the mind of a tall slim woman in a little black dress. No matter how she stinks of tobacco and dates Bill Maher. And bet your bottom dollar, they’d love her still, Mittens-smitten and all the other warts, if she were not menopausal.
She needs to read some of her own books from 10 years ago. Maybe, watch a few of her old interviews.
I think she tanked around the time she started attacking people who questioned Obama’s eligibility. Something changed in her and she has not been the same.
It’s called burnout
She take his biggest weakness - Romneycare - and arbitrarily declares it a strength. Somehow in her twisted logic his undiminished and enthusiastic support for Obamacare’s model makes him the best man to repeal it.
Really, how stupid does she think we are?
Proof positive that Coulter has jumped the shark for Romney.
I started looking at her differently when I learned that her best friend is Bill Maher. It is against the laws of nature to be a conservative and be friends with that POS. That tells me all I really need to know about AC.
Extremely, I'd say.
For years she's put out complete red-meat rubbish masquerading as logic and reason that she doesn't even believe because she is first and foremost a talking head media whore. She's a huckster who knows how to sell rubbish to the reactionary conservative audience.
Not too long ago around here, you couldn't say this about Ann Coulter without being attacked mercilessly because she was the conservative darling of the non-thinking set, and, quite frankly, because many around here thought she was physically attractive, even though she looks like Tom Petty in a dress. Now that she's shown her true colors, however, it's a different story altogether.
Most people are loathe to say "I told you so," but in this instance, I'm not. I smoked her out as a whore from Day One.
OOPS!
Maybe she’s flip-flopping?
She’s been hanging around too many “Deadheads.”
We don't know. We don't know that Romney won't pull the rug out from under the Pubbie base just so he can be liked. Would he be better than Obama? That isn't saying a heck of a lot. Why should we vote for you Mitt? Huh, give us a good reason.
I lost faith in Ann long ago, when she discredited conservatives by making a hateful comment regarding the Jews. She shamed us.
It is all about Ann. It’s that simple.
Now in bed with the enemy.
Will no longer listen to her on TV or radio, nor buy her books, and will convince hundreds of bedrock conservatives I know to not only do likewise, but to also ask 10 of their friends as well to shut her down and isolate her for her betrayal of the cause. Follow the money. There you will more than likely find the motivations.
There. I said it.
Words? Or deeds?
Based on what he has done so far in his public servitude, there is NO reason to vote for him at all. The only view point would be voting Against Obama, and THAT is a very large blurry, non-distinct, nebulous, gray area.
Both. What has he done that’s particularly conservative and what has he said that’s conservative? I haven’t seen or heard anything he’s said or done that’s sounded conservative. Sorry if I left you the impression I thought his past deeds were conservative. I mean, Romney-care? If he’d at least disavow that, it would be a start.
I was under no impression. The point is: words are cheap when your actions (deeds) clearly show what you are.
No to Romney
In order for Ann to come up with this argument, she had to throw away a lot of possible counters. She had to find two single-issues that would be pluses for her guy Romney, and negatives for the only true conservatives in the race, Bachmann and Santorum. Now, whether or not what she says is truthful about the two conservatives, it is mind-numbingly obvious that what she is saying about Romney is unprovable because it is basically a forecast.
Pinging the AC list:
Let me know if you'd like to be added to the Ann Coulter ping list.
Personally, I think it is malnutrition. The poor girl just needs a few good cheeseburgers and she’ll come around.
Ego...same problem as all emotional people...
Ego...same problem as all emotional people...
Coulter jumped the shark when she called Article 2 Section 1 defenders “Cranks” and used the KKK to make her point.
Ann is now proving to be an expert shark jumper.
BINGO! That's when I noticed the change in Coulter. Since then every other week or so she is disappointing, again and again.
Now **this** Ann is a real firecracker. Loved the video!
Of course, rational people can forecast.
Ann’s forecast about illegal immigration (by which she means granting amnesty) is right: it’s irrevocable, it means forty million new Democrats, and it means there will never be another Republican president, just for starters.
You simply can’t disagree that amnesty it will change the country forever.
Likewise socialized medicine. It is a colossal failure where it’s tried, and it changes every other facet of society, bringing more and more private sector enterprise under government sway. Forever.
Now, who will prevent this is still debatable. I think they all want amnesty. But at least Romney is saying the right thing about revoking socialized medicine.
Ann is still on the right side.
Sitting here laughing!
I’d say....Islum and Illegals....Moslums and Mexicans. Obamacare is a distant third.
I’m trying to get it out there without spamming too much.
Ya’ know? I knew that backing out of that after 3-4 minutes would cause a double post. Damned Dells.
Well, I’ll tell ya what! Her books make great fire kindle!
