ELECTION 2009: CHANGE I CAN BELIEVE IN! -- MSNBC, Aug. 31, 2009, Keith Olbermann on Robert F. McDonnell, Republican candidate for governor of Virginia:
"In [McDonnell's master's thesis], he described women having jobs as detrimental to the family, called legalized use of contraception illogical, pushed to make divorce more difficult, and insisted government should favor married couples over, quote, 'cohabitators, homosexuals or fornicators.' Wow. When did he write this? 1875? No, 1989. Wow, 1989.
-- MSNBC, Sept. 22, 2009, Rachel Maddow also on McDonnell:
"Goodbye, Mr. McDonnell." "And here's where the conservative movement and the Republican establishment smash into each other like bumper cars without bumpers. Here's where Republican electoral chances stop being separate from the wild-eyed excesses of the conservative movement.
On election night, conservatives-eating-Republicans resulted in an 18-point landslide for McDonnell, who beat his Democratic opponent 59 percent to 41 percent -- winning two-thirds of all independent voters and ending the Democrats' eight-year reign in the Virginia governor's office.
"Part of watching Republicans try to return to power is watching ... the conservative movement eat the Republican Party, eat their electoral chances over and over and over again."
Republicans swept all statewide offices for the first time in 12 years, winning the races for lieutenant governor and attorney general, as well as assembly seats, garbage inspector, dog catcher and anything else Virginians could vote for.
To paraphrase a pompous blowhard: Goodbye, Mr. Democrat.
And that's not the most exciting news from election night! Astoundingly, Jon Corzine, the incumbent governor of heavily Democratic New Jersey -- a state that Barack Obama won by 16 points just a year ago -- lost by 5 points.
At 49 percent for Republican Chris Christie versus 44 percent for Corzine, the election wasn't even close enough to be stolen by ACORN. (Although Corzine did extremely well among underaged Salvadoran prostitutes living in government housing.)
The biggest winner election night was pollster Scott Rasmussen, who -- once again -- produced the most accurate poll results. New York Times poll: Corzine 40, Christie 37; Quinnipiac poll: Corzine 43, Christie 38; Rasmussen poll: Christie 46, Corzine 43.
The biggest loser was President Obama, who campaigned tirelessly for Corzine, even giving up golf on several occasions and skipping a quarter-million-dollar "date night" with Michelle to stump for the Democrat...CLICK HERE for more
Syncro is "on the road" again...
What a great picture of Ann, she seems to have gained a little weight, her arms look more full and healthy now.
Ann, you lucky girl, you have now officially entered my radar screen!
bttt
She’s gotta have fake boobs.....but who cares.
"...Just two days before the election, Obama was at a rally in New Jersey assuring voters that Corzine was "one of the best partners I have in the White House. We work together. ... Jon Corzine helped get this done."
Except the problem is that voting for Obama a year ago was a fashion statement, much like it was once a fad to buy Beanie Babies, pet rocks and Cabbage Patch Kids.
But instead of ending up with a ridiculous dust-collector at the bottom of your closet, the Obama fad leaves you with higher taxes, a reduced retirement fund, no job and a one-year wait for an MRI.
That is why Corzine's defeat sounded the death knell for national health care.
The good news: Next time Corzine is in a major car accident after speeding on the New Jersey Turnpike, he'll be able to see a doctor right away..."Continued here:AnnCoulter.com
What a great picture of Ann...That picture is from her appearance at the Nixon Library this past February, as was THIS one:
Remember, the ideas were and are "self-evident" truths, could be stated simply and understood by farmers and professors alike, because they dealt with human nature as it is, and the tendency of human beings to abuse power if it is granted to them: therefore, the Founders framed a constitution for self-government that absolutely limited the powers they would give to their elected officials.
They even made that Constitution contain the only prescription for its own amendment.
Today, we have allowed those who call themselves "progressive" (what a cruel joke) to turn the Founders' ideas upside down and backward. Instead of "We, the People" being the sovereigns, the "living constitution" crowd and the power-hungry politicians behave like rulers or masters, amassing more and more of the earnings of the people to themselves, and making the sovereign "people" into slaves for several months a year.
These are "regressives," spouting ideas which are as old as the history of civilization--ideas which have failed in every place and time they have been tried. They are counterfeit ideas and lead to tyranny by the few over the many.
It's time to rediscover the ideas of liberty, using the Founders' own simple principles, and appeal to the common sense of ordinary Americans. It would be a winning combination. If the Federalist Papers were written to convince upstate New York farmers of the merits of the Constitution's limits on power, then surely they're not too complicated for citizens of today. It's worth a try. Read Mark Levin's "Liberty and Tyranny." Read "Our Ageless Constitution." See
Memorize the Founders' words, and go forth to conquer the "regressives"!
Another nice picture, she looks great with the extra weight. She’s naturally long and lanky but she looks much healthier now, good for her.
Here's one I haven't seen before:
Queen Ann Rox!!
Pray for America’s Freedom
Let me know if you'd like to be added to the Ann Coulter ping list.
...The media will try to rescue health care by talking about nothing but the 23rd district of New York, where the Democrat won Tuesday night.
Congratulations, Democrats -- you won a congressional seat in New York!
Next up: A Catholic elected pope!
Far from an upset, the Democrats' winning the 23rd district was a long-term plan of the Obama White House. That's why Obama made John McHugh, the moderate Republican congressman representing the 23rd district, his Secretary of the Army earlier this year. The Democrats thought McHugh's seat would be easy pickings.
Only in the last week has everyone acted as if a Democratic victory in the 23rd district would be a shocking surprise -- an upset victory caused by puritanical Republicans staging inquisitions against "mainstream" Republican candidates like Dede Scozzafava, the designated "Republican" candidate in the special election.
This is preposterous -- there was absolutely nothing Republican about Scozzafava. As a supporter of partial-birth abortion, card-check union schemes and massive government spending programs, she was less Republican than John McCain.
Even Markos Moulitsas of Daily Kos called Scozzafava the most liberal candidate in the race -- which may explain why she was the choice of George Soros' Working Families Party and why she promptly endorsed the Democrat after withdrawing from the race last weekend.
Conservative opposition to Scozzafava hardly suggests that they plan to impose litmus tests on every Republican candidate in the 2010 elections.
Speaking of litmus tests, on MSNBC recently, liberal blogger Jane Hamsher said of the possibility that a blue dog Democrat would oppose national health care: "I dare Blanche Lincoln -- I dare Blanche Lincoln to join a filibuster. She'll draw primary opponents so fast it would make your head spin."
While I'm sure an out-of-touch liberal blogger from Hollywood knows more about Arkansas than an elected senator from that state, Hamsher's threat sounds more like an intra-party civil war than conservatives opposing a George Soros-supported Republican candidate in a New York congressional race.
Not only do conservatives not pick insane fights -- such as staging a 2006 primary fight against a recent vice presidential candidate because he supported the war in Iraq -- but conservatives are more popular than Republicans.
By contrast, liberals are less popular than Democrats. When conservatives take control of the Republican Party, Republicans win. When liberals take control of the Democratic Party, Democrats end up out of power for eight to 12 years.

I have so come to admire and appreciate Ann. I didn’t start there but I was wrong, she is right.
Right on Ann!
Not me!!!!
I have so come to admire and appreciate Ann.Wow.I didn’t start there but I was wrong, she is right.
What turned you around? Do you remember?
Bitch slapped Barry.
I think it had been assumed that Scozzafava dropped from the race to give Republican Hoffman a better chance, but obviously that wasn't the case since she endorsed the Dem. She is dead to the republican party now, right?

Newt and the RINOs might still take her back. :o)
At first, I felt a sharp edge to her. Now I appreciate her clarity and willingness to speak her mind, shunning the criticisms of others. She is her own person. Courageous.
