With Mitt Romney re-establishing himself, after the unpleasantness in South Carolina, as the Republicans' de facto nominee, I thought it would be fun to offer some sort of prize--say, a bronze replica of the 1939 Molotov-Von Ribbentrop pact--to the first Fox News personality to endorse Romney's absurd claim that Romneycare (good) was entirely different from Obamacare (bad). I never dreamed that Ann Coulter would beat me to the punch. She's never been much good at playing with the other children. (Remember when she called Jonah Goldberg and Rich Lowry "girly-boys"?) All I can say is that she must really, really want Obama out of the White House, because in her Feb. 1 column, "Three Cheers For Romneycare!" Coulter truly takes one for the team.
I'm in total agreement with the first 6-7 paragraphs, which explain that Romneycare's "individual mandate" requiring everyone to purchase health insurance has a conservative pedigree. The Heritage Foundation, the Manhattan Institute, and Reason magazine all left fingerprints on it. The trouble begins when Coulter goes on to argue that the individual mandate is constitutional when applied at the state (Romney) level but unconstitutional when applied at the federal (Obama) level because "Congress has no constitutional authority to force citizens to buy a particular product." States, it seems, can do whatever they want. I'd love to see Coulter apply this logic to Washington, D.C.'s gun ban, which the Supreme Court struck down in District of Columbia v. Heller. Coulter might argue that D.C. isn't a state, but the Supremes mooted that distinction in McDonald v. Chicago.

Ann should quit embarrassing herself with this liberal crap.
Yeah, she sounded witchy. Came over like Glenn Close from fatal attraction when she said, “ I won’t be ignored”
I guess Michael Savage had it right in describing Coulter as a “deranged hag”
I’m beginning to think that her conservatism was all schtick.
Ann Coulter seems to have been POSSESSED by a DEMON!!!..

Um, I don’t know about that but I’d seriously have to step back and take a good hard look at my positions if left-wingers were starting to embrace my talking points and use them against conservatives.
[ Um, I don’t know about that ]
SOoo the subtle reference to her new book went right over your head, eh!..
Are you a democrat?.. Democrats miss a lot..
Although most democrats miss what they want to miss..

Perhaps your subtle reference to her new book simply fell flat like a pancake to those of us who no longer read her books because of the damage she’s done to her credibility as a conservative.
SOoo... Are you Ann Coulter? You seem to be getting very defensive and shrill just like she does these days when people don’t subscribe to her fetish for Romney. Like Democrats, she misses a lot... And like you, accuses conservatives who don’t agree with her of being Democrats.
[ SOoo... Are you Ann Coulter? ]
Nah.. but I was a Ann Coulterite.. I loved that girl..
Shes pissed me off lately... tho...
but I will volunteer to spank her..
