Playing jumprope with the shark

Someday somehow I am stealing that

[RaceBannon]

Is anyone else surprised that I am no longer an Ann Coulter fan?

Defending Mitch Mconnell??

After his comments on the TEA PARTY??

Ann Coulter is now anti tea party if that is her point of view on Mconnell

[the_daug]

I see Ann C is right on.

[Norm Lenhart]

Which she has done for a long time now. As I have said in other Coulter posts, I was a huge fan. I bought her books and loved her columns.

But when I look back and compare her words to her deeds, there is a WHOLE lot of contradiction. And IMO, which I believe her history bears out, she is never again to be trusted. Not openly.

[smoothsailing]

I tell you now, Coulter has been paid off. If you could investigate this, you would see she received a big fat check from a source close to McConnell. She took the money to write this article.

Did "a source close to McConnell" pay her for the article below also?

Democrats would never have been in a position to pass Obamacare if both sides of the Republican Party hadn't helped them win elections. The establishment Republicans screwed over our party with their greed, incompetence and lassitude, and the conservative purists screwed our party by running candidates who could not possibly win.

True, the tea party also gave us the majestic Mike Lee, Ted Cruz and Ron Johnson, among a few other improvements. But was Dick Lugar really the biggest problem in the U.S. Senate? Wasn't Claire McCaskill a bigger problem?

And why are so many conservatives today burbling about the alleged deficiencies of Republican Sen. Mitch McConnell -- while ignoring the actual crimes of Democratic senators like Mary Landrieu from Louisiana, Mark Pryor from Arkansas and Mark Begich from Alaska?

All those Democrats voted for Obamacare -- and they're all up for election next year in states that could easily go Republican. If any one of these senators had voted "no" on Obamacare, it would not be law.

By contrast, McConnell not only voted against Obamacare, but presided over a Senate minority in which every single Republican voted against Obamacare, even that idiot McCain. Kentucky only seems like a red state because McConnell keeps winning elections there: It went for Clinton twice and has had a solid run of Democratic governors since 1947, interrupted by one-term Republican governors only twice in 66 years.

But McConnell is in hot water with Kentucky's "9/12 Project" -- a group with enough marketing savvy to have a name that no one understands.

The project's executive director, Eric Wilson, is hopping mad with McConnell because, when given a choice between raising taxes on all Americans or raising taxes only on those individuals making more than $400,000 a year, he chose to raise taxes only on the high earners.

It's the easiest thing in the world to be a purist, denouncing everyone else as a sellout and hack, while other people do the hard work of getting elected in blue states and preventing even rotten Republicans from voting for Obamacare. You want McConnell to stop all tax hikes? Give him a majority in the Senate.

I’m for amnesty because it was the government who encouraged illegal imitation. Right after the last amnesty that Reagan signed that I was against the government didn’t do anything I could see to prevent illegal immigration. In the early nineties I was hiring illegal immigrants cause that was who state job agencies sent out for job request. When I complained that the documents didn’t even look like the guy I’m filling out their i9 form I was threatened to have EOT job discrimination investigation initiated. After that I never asked questions just complied with i9. Amnesty is justice as far as I’m concerned. Ann is right.

[E. Pluribus Unum]

The change-of-life is hitting Ann hard.

[Bluestocking]

If Ann was anything like the old Ann Coulter we used to know and love, she would be railing day and night against Mitch McConnell for not initiating impeachment hearings against Obama which he so richly deserves for the many high crimes and misdemeanors he’s committed.

The IRS scandal alone would have energized the old Ann to write a book by now.

This reminds me of the scene in ‘’One Flew Over the Cukoo’s Nest’’ where the irrepressibly wild and crazy mental patient Randall Patrick McMurphy wakes up after a lobotomy. We know the Establishment has prevailed, and Randall Patrick’s spirit has been lost. How did the Establishment in the form of Mitch McConnell finally prevail over Ann Coulter and make her lose her wild and crazy spirit? I don’t know, but it’s sad.

[smoothsailing]

You say you’re for amnesty and that Ann is right. She’s against amnesty.

[smoothsailing]

Impeachment can only originate in the House.

[shuck and yall]

Good on you mate, posting this, maybe someone can check her facts. If her facts check out, lets follow. If not, lets talk, we are friends here, we all love the country and hate like hell what is being done to her. God bless Jolly, lets win

[smoothsailing]

Thanks. Ann Coulter is a long time friend of Free Republic, her views should always be welcome here.

The Jolly win was great, wasn’t it! 8^)

[rabidralph]

Well, then, let’s just ignore her. No sense in protesting her at appearances or doing any of the things the Left does, she would only use that to make the point she makes in the above article and continue to write about us. Just ignore her. You all just knew this was where she was heading.

McConnell took on the entire MSM, as well as members of his own party, principally John McCain and President Bush, who incomprehensibly signed McCain-Feingold into law with the idle musing that the Supreme Court could strike down any unconstitutional parts.

Arguably one of the most un-American laws ever passed.

It's the easiest thing in the world to be a purist, denouncing everyone else as a sellout and hack, while other people do the hard work of getting elected in blue states and preventing even rotten Republicans from voting for Obamacare. You want McConnell to stop all tax hikes? Give him a majority in the Senate.

I wonder if Ann is remotely aware of their undercut of the Republican in Alaska to back Murkowski and put her back in the Senate as a Democrat ally. That vote might have been better to have kept in the party. Any problems with Republicans in Virginia openly supporting the Democrat over Cucinelli or Lugar undercutting the man he lost to when it came to for the general? The ONLY purity tests in the Republican party is in the beltway crowd protecting their gravy train.

There is a word for woman who take money to provide a service.

I know the word to which you refer, however you might wish to rephrase your statement - as anyone who works for pay, man or woman, takes money for services provided.

With that said - she's off the mark here, no doubt.

[X-spurt]

Exactly. Noticed at CPAC she (no pun intended) was planting some Romney seeds, just to get the wishy-washy thinking.

Oh yeah, now and then Ann will spike the hard conservative ball and then turn back to swoon over her GOPe heros.

[smoothsailing]

How true, what a blow to freedom that was. Of course the unions loved it.

[the_daug]

She is right there is a right-wing mob just as moon batty as anything on the left. If I have a piece of property and I built a fence 25 year’s ago a foot in side my neighbors property and nobody challenge it till my neighbor sales the property and the new owners want me to move the fence that’s too bad. The government knew and did nothing. If you ask what that says to the legal immigrants they’re empathetic too cause they know US immigration is broken after dealing with them. The only thing that needs clarification is how amnesty gets implemented and defined. If the rw moon bats want to keep loosing election they should continue.
