I did not read her book and am not a fan. I'm also not a consrvative activist, yet. What can one person do. I agree with your sentiments in this post I'm replying to. But, I think Coulter is good for the cause. An edict such as you say she said (You must vote for Bush) does not sound good. Bush is not perfect, of course. But he is better than any plausible alternative. I see Kerry alot closer to the wrong side than Bush. Am I wrong?
How so?
Is Ann Coulter a role model? Does she make folks think long and hard about facts or her features?
Does she err on the side of substance or is she someone Log Cabin Queens give snaps for her wit as well as wardrobe?
I think those who are "good for the cause" are those who couldn't care less about popularity or success but who remain faithful and true to what is essential.
And what is essential is often invisible to the eye and has nothing whatsoever to do with momentary political gains of one sort or another or sitting around scoring points (or collecting salaries) -- Whoreowitz style -- at the expense of others.
Particuarly given the consistently leftist mode and premises on which both parties operate anymore, I guess I would be very wary of paying too much attention to the "media darlings" of either side.
