I no longer have any respect for my governor, McDonnell. A few weeks ago I saw him on Fox, shilling for Romney, and I saw him fudge the truth for Willard and squirm while doing so. He was asked if he agreed with Romney that Newt resigned in disgrace. McDonnell shifted around a little, and wouldn't look the interviewer (I think it was Greta) in the eye as he mumbled, "Well, he did resign." Disgusting.
On another note, I don't want to post a vanity about it, but I'm wondering if anyone is talking about Ann Coulter's unbelievable lie on Fox & Friends today. She said that, even when pushed to do so, Romney has refused to attack his "fellow conservatives." OMG.
Good Morning CofA-
McDonnell has lost whatever respect I had for him, also. I note that since he has become a visible Romney supporter he has chided the Republicans in the GA about overreaching in their efforts to pass legislation favorable to Conservatives.
Republicans are so gutless once they are elected. I have reached the conclusion that only a third party effort will ever change things demonstrably for the better. Sadly, w/Obama in the drivers seat, now is not the time to initiate such an effort and we will more than likely end up w/Mitt as the GOP-E selected nominee.
Perhaps the best approach for the future is the solidification and formalization of a grass roots third party effort and build from there until a large enough base is formed to challenge the elites inside the Beltway and the financial district of NYC. The Tea Party, as presently configured, is not going to be able to accomplish much nationally when it fragments into factions at election time.
I saw Ms Coulter on FOX when she made that unbelievably false statement. It enraged me so much that I immediately switched to CNN; which really has a lot better coverage of international events and is no worse than FOX when it comes to shilling for Dems or RINOs. Apparently Coulter has so totally abandoned whatever principles she might have had; that out and out mendacity is now her stock in trade.
Take care,

Coulter has not only jumped the shark, she should move to National Aquarium and swim in the tank with them.
What did it for me was when she called the Article 2 Section 1 defenders “CRANKS” and used the KKK to make her point. After this every few months or so she would do or say something that was unbelievable. Now it seems that she is missing the mark every other day or so.
Is there anyone left here on Free Republic that still defends her?
