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?

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.
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?
