Ann Coulter: STRONGEST CASE AGAINST ROMNEY A FEW SHEETS SHORT OF A REAM (REAM = HUGH!)

STRONGEST CASE AGAINST ROMNEY A FEW SHEETS SHORT OF A REAM

January 18, 2012
Mitt Romney has spent more than 20 years in private enterprise, making thousands of business decisions affecting hundreds of companies that led to more than 100,000 new jobs and billions of dollars for employees and investors. So you can see why the left despises him.

Among Romney's thousands of business decisions, the one I gather his opponents consider his absolute worst was the decision to close a paper plant in Marion, Ind. Which wasn't his decision at all.

It was labor trouble at the Marion plant of a Bain-acquired company, Ampad, that formed the basis of Teddy Kennedy's desperate 11th-hour attack on Romney in their 1994 Senate competition. Plant worker Randy Johnson was featured in Kennedy campaign commercials against Romney and disgruntled workers were lavished with Dickensian lachrymosity in The Boston Globe.

In the current presidential campaign, Democrats -- and some Republicans -- have returned to Ampad and the Marion plant as their case in chief against Romney.

The "King of Bain" movie that a pro-Newt Gingrich super-pac just bought with money donated by a gambling magnate cites only one company closed by Bain when Romney was even there.

Guess which one? That's right: Ampad.

The Democratic National Committee has retained Johnson to go on tour in order to more fulsomely describe the horrors perpetrated by Bain Capital on workers at that plant. As salt-of-the-earth Johnson explains, he lost his job at Ampad because Romney "didn't care about the worker."

It is beyond journalistic malpractice for media outlets showcasing the bitter and lying Johnson to neglect to mention that he was the union president who led the strike that forced Ampad to close the plant.

And yet The New York Times, MSNBC and others who have publicized Johnson's sob story regularly refuse to convey that crucial fact. This would be as if a judge excluded the fact that the defense's principal witness is the defendant's mother. Read More »

Even a man who is pure in heart and says his prayers by night, may become a loser when the Romneybane blooms and the autumn moon is bright.

I am far more concerned about the new revelation that Romney made money off the disposal of aborted babies dead bodies.

So, let me see. Romney is a successful, liberal businessman. Good for him. He should go on being one. We don’t need a progressive president.

Ok, now lessee here.

A ream is 500 sheets, sometimes referring to the large sheets cut down to 8.5x11”, so could very well be several thousand pieces of paper.

So if the case against Mitt is a “few” sheets short of a ream, that would be just a little under 500 any way you cut it.

So it looks like Coulter has inadvertently stated that the case against mitt is HUGH....not to mention that makes it VERY SERIS!

I think her slip is quite Freudian. With or without lace.

I’ve been willing to give Ann some rope, because she has been a great force for conservatives, and she writes extremely well.

She has been shilling for the gay extremists, but I don’t think it has accomplished anything much for them.

But this really is too much. At a critical time for our country, when we have only this one more chance to turn things around, she shills for a lying scum of a RINO loser. And it couldn’t be at a worse moment.

Shut up, Ann.

Actually, the case against Romney is about 200 pages long:

Let’s see that washed-up hag spin everything in the Romney Book.

I scrolled down her Quotations sidebar and found a nice little quote, albiet wrongly attributed:
...glib, meaningless wordplay we have come to expect from brainless liberals, not conservatives.
I'll leave it at that...

My problem with Romney is not his hiring and firing people. My problem is he might hire you one day then change his mind and fire you the next.

Poor Ann. She has lost her moral compass. We are not finished discussing how finished we are with Romney. She hoped we would be, after she lodged him down our throat. Romney is unexciting is reason enough to doze off and dump him. We crave a little inspiration, please, while eduring our Marxism cram down and our Romney cram down. What a poor diet.

When rumors of Ann dating Bill Maher were not denied by her, I knew she had sold out.

Ann should come back to her roots like Newt did on Monday night.

I have already thrown out her books and her autographs and videos I made

She has lost her mind. Romney is the biggest liberal, Ron Paul next to or tied with him

Coulter jumped the shark in 2008 when she call the Article 2, Section 1. defenders, “CRANKS”, and then used the KKK to further drive home her point.

Well,... Coulter, has not disappointed me in my assessment. Every few weeks or so she is jumping one or several more sharks.

Ann just doesn't get it. Romney's problems with Conservatives arose out of the way he worked in the government ~ in Massachusetts.

Although a tiny thing he managed to "raise taxes on the blind" ~ but it was a clue. Later on he helped begin the bankrupting of the entire state by imposing RomneyKKKare on them.

The guy just hasn't done anything to make him popular with fiscal, social, or movement Conservatives, and without them there's no way he can win.
