I wonder what happened to Ann.
Will she now come out and announce that she’s gay?
You go first.
I wonder what has happened to this forum ? Are all of these ad hominen/personal attacks on Ann deserved? I don’t think I’ve read comment that dealt with any of the specific points she made in the article and like usual her command of reasoned argument and historical perspective is impressive and insightful (as well as a fearful prospect to those have nothing to say but cowardly personal attacks).

Not just "a conservative" but "the most conservative candidate in the field".
I am not trying to be hard on McCain, whose military career I respect, but to think that the GOP would be getting something better in Romney than it got in McCain is delusional. He may be a better debated than McCain, but he suffers from all the same weaknesses of political temperament and perspective (as his record clearly shows), plus he is going to have to answer for Mormonism. Again, I do not mean to purposely insult Mormons, but if anyone thinks for one moment that the strange and - in my opinion - impossible to defend history of the Mormon church is not going to be on the Obama team’s (and this would include the alphabet TV and radio media and much of the newspaper media) target radar, that person too is deluded. It’s going to happen. And in certain states it’s going to cost votes, probably enough to change the outcome.
If the Coulters, National Reviews, and GOP insiders don’t know this (inside a bubble?), they don’t how how to call this election.
Fine, you don’t like “deception,” howsabout illusion, as in what you see is not what you get. Mitt is no conservative and Ann is no blonde.
Contract with America
Welfare Reform
Two phrases that appear nowhere in the article that I could find.
“I don’t think I’ve read comment that dealt with any of the specific points she made in the article.....”
She lost with many of us the second she came out for Romney. Any “point” she may now try to make is going to fall on deaf ears.
It is both telling and disappointing that you don’t see that.
Oh, you can take your “cowardly” comment and stuff it.
Ann’s use of “bombastic” as an epithet against Newt or anyone else is hilarious. That’s been her stock in trade, as if she owned the word.
Imagine if it had been Mitt who’d said the Palestinians were an ‘invented people’ and Newt said, oh, no, you don’t say things like that’ you have to clear it through Bibi and diplomatic channels. Ann, in her dotage, seems to like timid instead of bombastic. What a turnaround.
Your deflection indicates that you think she’s gay. Hmm.
You missed my point, because apparently I misunderstood yours.
We agree that she is not a conservative.
Pax.
It’s pretty well known that Ann is for Newt and that article was way harsh, but everyone knows that Newt failed to follow through as well as he should have on the contract with America.
And, yes, these things will be brought up if he gets the nomination, so let’s deal with them now.
We’re either okay with all that or we’re not.
Ooops. I meant Ann is for Mitt.
If Ann were for Newt, he doesn’t need enemies.
heehee! Ann said “Tiny stick.”
No wonder Callista always looks confused, or something.
Psalm 114: We do agree that, at the very least, in the matter of Mitt she is not a conservative.
Pax it is.
take that tiny stick and put it where the sun dont shine Ann!
83 ethic violations were found to be without merit and the 84th charge was dropped after a 31/2 yr investigation by the IRS.
She has jumped the shark. There are going to be a lot of pundit’s with the deer in the headlights look when Newt wins the nomination. I can’t wait to see the backpeddling.
Ann, go make me a sammwhich, and pluck my duck honey!
