sometimes you have to call a Horney Hick a horney hick.....(I was born in West Virginia ---- maybe I am a horney hick too)
I suspect that this author is writing from her heart, and is not writing for an audience, because I don't think she knows who her audience is anymore. I guess I am sorry that she is dissapointed or disillusioned. Her vision of partisian debate is way naive. I guess I am sorry to see her pristine idealism shattered
Based on reading this whole article, I think the author is full of manure. She was not a Republican if one bad speaking engagement was enough to "turn" her.
The polite political debates in the vein of WF Buckley's Firing Line are ancient history, I'm afraid.
"I went home that night and tore my Bush-Cheney sticker off my door, and took my Bush "Taking America forward" pin off my bulletin board. I no longer consider myself a Republican, or even a conservative."
Baloney alert. This "writer" would have us believe she threw an entire party and philosophy away because Coulter called Clinton a "horny-hick".
"I went home that night and tore my Bush-Cheney sticker off my door, and took my Bush "Taking America forward" pin off my bulletin board. I no longer consider myself a Republican, or even a conservative."
Was the writer truely conservative to begin with or is this the typical "I'm a lifelong republican.......but " shtick?
Huh? Hell, I'm not a Republican, but why would an Ann Coulter appearance motivate a Bush supporter to lose it? Something is very, very odd about this author's motivations. Was this author operating under the assumption that Ann was some shrinking violet? This doesn't make any sense. She sounds so weak. Ann's views are news to her? Huh?
Me confused.
Anyone believe that the author actually had pro-Bush/Cheney bumper stickers and pins?
And if so, do you actually believe that she abandoned them because Ann called Clinton a "horny hick?"
If she really is the Republican voter that she claims to be, I find her lack of faith disturbing.
Ashley, Good! I dont want you in MY Party, You cry-Baby!
How long? HOW LONG???? Have the demoRATS trashed US? You are an Ignorant Child. You haven't lived long enough to understand what ROTTEN SCUM LIberals are....
Ann Coulter is a Fantastic Speaker and She only makes those statements to enrage the arrogant elitest snobs of the Left especially in Universitys!!!! If you got upset, it only proves you are weak in your position and havent got the stomach for the real Political battles ahead...you would be better served as a whimpy sheep in the Left wing Plantation.....good luck to you...they will be serving Prozac for lunch today and then you can have a nice nap this afternoon.
Buh-Bye!
"Ashley Samelson is a sophomore who has yet to declare a major."
Hehehehehe...says it all.
Thats just silly. Coulter is a writer and a bomb-thrower - thats her style. Would you ditch the Dems b/c of something Susan Estrich said? LOL.
Her "conservatism" stood on shaky ground, to put it mildly.
"I went home that night and tore my Bush-Cheney sticker off my door, and took my Bush "Taking America forward" pin off my bulletin board. I no longer consider myself a Republican, or even a conservative. From this day forward I choose the path of true progress. Consider me an objectivist. "

Be serious, if she was ever a Republican and ever had a Bush-Cheney sticker on her door, I'll eat my keyboard.
I've seen quite a few liberals, who pretend to be disillusioned conservatives to gain credibility.
But, Ms. Samelson, if Bill Clinton was not a "horny hick", then what, pray tell, was he?
Of course, it's demeaning and deeply pejorative. But isn't that what he was? How else would one characterize Bill Clinton?
Ashley has yet to declare a major, but has declared a party, in fact proclaims to have declared a party, rejected a party, and picked up another party. I'm guessing she doesn't have a clue.
Liberals don't like Ann Coulter because she plays by their rules.
Actually, in trouncing the US in televised debates over and over (a few years back) the British showed that sharp humor is what wins the debate.
