Ann Coulter, who had been one of Gov. Chris Christie's biggest cheerleaders, is a fan no more. She tweeted on Thursday that Christie is "dead" to her after Sen. Jeffrey Chiesa (R-NJ), the Senator whom Christie appointed after the death of Sen. Frank Lautenberg (D-NJ), voted to end debate on the Immigration Reform Bill.

LARGELY??? How about they go with COMPLETELY or is that the incrementalism you just mentioned at work?
You do not even see you just tanked your own argument...not worth debating. Have fun spreading the Dogma of the left. You will unfortunately have a receptive audience.
Took you awhile, hon....
MA is an odd state. It's liberal in a lot of ways....the unions, liberal "enlightened" university settings, and government programs. But MA people like their freedom from being spied on, having local government diminished, to run small businesses. War is not real popular here. A smarter Republican campaign would've tapped into this independent streak, particulary outside Boston-Cambridge.
After Ayotte in NH traitored constitutional conservatives, voters have become very skeptical. Gomez cane across like another Romney/McCain/Rubio/Ayotte wannabee who couldn't be trusted to bring the nation back. JMHO.
Life’s not that simple dude.....and BTW, none of the problems we have today are due to Mitt Romney and people who voted for him. HE DIDNT WIN IN CASE YOU HAVENT NOTICED.
And ObamaCare didn’t pass because too many squishy Republicans won, because NANCY PELOSI and HARRY REID passed it.
Most of the problems we face have nothing to do with squishy Republicans winning elections, though some of them do. The point is, you are fundamentally flawed in your causal analysis that we are where we are because some conservatives vote for squishy Republicans from time to time. That’s just a blitheringly naive anaylsis on your part.
Because of her, millions of Americans will suffer 29 hour work weeks.
About freaking time Ann.
That’s an absurd notion. That was what, like one detail out of a million that had to happen?
Coming out of her blonde a coma?
Ann is the turncoat, Chief.
What????
Are you kidding me?
No, becuase there are counter arguments to that. Her cloture vote wouldn’t have mattered if Brown, another squish, had not won. In fact, if there had been a couple more Republican squishes instead of liberal Democrats, it would not have happened. You’ve pulled one detail out of a universe of connected dots and pretend like the other dots aren’t there. That’s a bureaucratic left brained illness on the part of your cerebral processor.
I remember that day. I knew Obamacare would become law after that Snowe vote. I also remember last June with the SCOTUS ruling. Don't lecture me on squishy republicans. Many Americans will suffer because squishy republicans cannot hold the line.
Ann’s problem is that she has the mental disorder that many of those that travel in the media set and power set of the GOP have which is a Republicrat fetish. They don’t have confidence enough in their own principles to support a candidate that will actually sell them and act like they believe them so they support what they see as stealth GOP blue state candidates like Christie who they think represent a philosophers candidate of sort turning Democrats to GOP without asking whether they are increasing support for conservative small government free market constitutional positions. Ann really does appear to have a core of conservatism but she fancies herself able to rock with the liberals like Maher and spends a lot of time socializing in the left of center crowd not realizing that they will never be a target Demographic for GOP.
It is hard to read one of her books to not see that she has a heart of conservatism but the problem is she like too many including large numbers of conservatives is they have no faith that they can win with conservatism no matter how much they fawn over Reagan. I understand her initial love of Christie. I mean you have a guy that is boldly speaking the truth in a blue state and he’s winning on what appears to be a mostly conservative platform. What is not to like about that. The problem is what we find is that once his core was revealed you see that Christie is much more interested in serving himself than building the Republican brand. He has created a cult of Christie which increasingly contains more liberal Democrats than Republicans. That which of course is the real problem with this insane idea of trying to find these mythical political Amphibians that will some how save the GOP by down playing what it means to be GOP which incidentally ends up always being more like liberal Democrats.
I hope Ann has learned something from her fetish like support of Romney and Christie both seemingly based on the false idea that we must sacrifice the desire to have an advocate for small government constitutional conservatism to win Presidential elections. Its something a lot of us need to learn and that is we have to have a candidate that is not afraid to make the case for our positions. I favor Rand Paul, Ted Cruz, and Mike Lee for exactly those reasons.
They don’t back down, they don’t behave as if their positions are something to be ashamed of. The left certainly doesn’t they may lie to your face but they are out there every day pushing the envelop to meet leftist progressive goals on both social and fiscal fronts. They don’t pretend to not love abortion, they don’t pretend to not love deviants, they don’t pretend to not love the 2nd amendment they just repackage and keep pushing and what do most GOP do? They acquiesce and even many of us do.
Too many of us act like we are big patriots but are scared to death to take any action outside of giving to a campaign and many don’t do even that. Hell I know people who are afraid to even like or retweet a post of support for something they claim to believe. As long as we are voluntarily silencing ourselves and not speaking up and going on offense with our positions how in the hell is anyone going to desire to join us? You want to know why young people are buying leftwing bs? Its because we are failing to sell our ideas. Instead we have foolish GOP leadership that instead of putting together a marketing plan to sell constitutional small government and strong traditional families and individual liberty they are retreating into blandness and sameness and think that is a strategy to win.
I work in the retail world with marketing departments etc and I can say with certainty that any company trying to promote itself the way the GOP has would go out of business.
Its not like we don’t have good examples of how to run effective conservative campaigns. Rick Scott won in Florida with horrible negatives against him but he had a genius campaign focused on getting people back to work and hard hitting attacks on his opponents. This stuff isn’t rocket science but for some reason we still have GOP campaigns hiring yuppie kids to run their campaigns who think if only we supported abortion and gay marriage we’d win.
I really am beginning to think we need to jettison the GOP and build a truly conservative constitutionalist profamily party.
She knew exactly what she did.
You really are not having the same discussion I am having. Yes, she could have held firm. But her voters probably liked her vote. But even that’s not the point. The argument is that voting for squishy Republicans are THE REASON we are where we are. And that is absurd.
In fact, had squish Norm Coleman beat Al FRanken, it wouldn’t have happened. Had Brown not beaten Coakely, it wouldn’t have mattered. Had squish McCain beaten Obama, it would never have been put forth. In other words, for every detrail about squish Republicans leading to Obama Care, there are millions of details that say if more squished had beaten libs, it would not have happened.
Not to excuse the squish behavior, because I don’t. Again, try and stay on the specific conversation we are having:
This is called game, set, match.
I noticed you were speaking about me.......
:-)
YEP, finally you’re here!!!
Now wait just a minute before some of those here on FR scold others among the liberty and truth supporters. Maybe it looks like to me, the establishment boys have no use for Ann Coulter any longer so, she is giving them hell. Maybe. The establishment has did a pretty good job of neutralizing the conservatives. Think things through people. Not emotionally. They have used her.
The beltway’s enemies are you, me, Mark, Rush, Sarah, Ted, Michelle M & B, any conservative, the Tea Party voters...now could it be Ann too? She has been instrumental in getting Romney as the candidate. She tore Rubio up because she was shut out. She’s angry. All she has done for those party insiders. Now, will not listen to her about amnesty Rubio. Trust but verify all of these media people, I say. Don’t turn on one another. We need a army/on the same side/them versus the patriots. Pick your side. Maybe, Ann is doing so now.
Maybe, she sees also that we are more onto the game than she ever realized (corruption of the GOP). Do you want to be like that Dana Pierro operative on Fox, no, you can’t-Free yourselves from the Gop-e! ( Dana reminds me of a in the training mini Karl Rove) Just watch Ann. over time. I hope I am right so she will not turn on Sarah or Ted or any others who could turn this country around. Ann betrayed us so we have a right to think of that/keep in mind, I mean.
Agreed.
If we’re all “equal” in the eyes of the Law, then why do they strive so hard to set themselves above us?
Answer: delusions of grandeur.
