No, it's her fierceness on criticizing anyone that is not conservative and now she is pushing a Rhino along with the GOP. There are many that are really amazed by it and wonder what happened to her. Her article, "Three Cheers for Romneycare"? Someone had to have hit her in the head or she's smoking crack.

I could not agree with this writer more. Catron first became concerned last November, when Coulter asked in one of her columns, "If Not Romney, Who? If Not Now, When?" It's funny considering that just one year ago at CPAC, she feared the idea of a Romney nomination.

Who Castrated Ann Coulter?

She has always been willing to write what other conservatives believe but don't have the guts to say in print. She has never played it safe and has certainly never adjusted her opinions for the sake of conforming to the conventional wisdom of Old Guard Republicans.

But something has happened to Coulter. I don't have firsthand knowledge that she was kidnapped by RINO Team Six and taken to an offshore medical facility where she was forced to undergo a gruesome surgical procedure, but many of her recent columns suggest that something of the sort must have occurred.

Amazing how so much has changed this election cycle. So many people not supporting those with consistent conservative records.

She's in politics. Therefore, it is a given.

If you don't think we should be involved in politics then kindly refrain from posting in the Political Talk thread. Um, I really mean, just shut up.

Coulter just understands that to win the WH, the GOP will have to win the independent/moderate vote. Sorry, but this isn't the 1950s and Ronald Reagan is not running for President. Conservative voters are outnumbered now. The one's registered to vote are generally too lazy to get their rear to the voting booth.

Ann Coulter is right, conservatives just don't want to believe it.

Ann Coulter isn't right on supporting Romneycare, no matter how you slice it. At the time I didn't know this is how she really was - excerpt from original post.

In 2008 it was uncovered long after the primaries had been concluded that the Romney campaign staff had in unethical and covert ways infiltrated prominent conservative opinion sources like the National Review with leads and exclusives that were designed to adversely harm all the other candidacies minus Romney. Most specifically National Review repeated false assertions made by these Romney operatives about Governor Mike Huckabee. Coulter parroted them in her syndicated space and was never called to account to it until she appeared on the Huckabee television show--to tout her book of course--when the Governor politely, but assertively called her inaccuracies into question.

It caused such consternation to Coulter that she walked out after one segment, though she had been booked for two.

I saw her do this with Gov. Perry on the in-state tuition when she knew that the Supreme Court in Plyler v. Does mandates that we educate illegals K-12. The Texas Legislature was veto proof on the in-state vote. She knew all of that and lied for her boy (Mitt) on the illegal issue.

It isn't about there not being another Reagan. It is about her touting her "Godless" and "Demonic - How the Liberal Mob is Endangering America".

She needs to write one about herself and how her pseudo-conservative ranting is a lie. I've even seen a huge change in Sean Hannity and Chris Wallace as well. Just amazing what this year in politics has shown us.

There isn't one around here. Oh wait, Deep Waters, unless you view some of the topics as false doctrine.

Ha, I try to find the kernel of truth in any doctrine. And I am sorry about involving myself in a room I have no interest in, ty for the hu.

I think you can find a kernel of truth, most of the time, in any doctrine.

And I am sorry about involving myself in a room I have no interest in, ty for the hu.

And for the record, I was just messin' with you. You can post whatever you want, whenever you want. It's a free country, um, forum.

It doesn't bother me. Just be prepared for a hit. It makes things a lot more lively around here.

"That's not so bad if you think the most important issues in this election are defeating Obama and repealing Obamacare.

There may be better ways to stop Obamacare than Romney, but, unfortunately, they're not available right now."

And this one:

"Instead of sitting on our thumbs, wishing Ronald Reagan were around, or chasing the latest mechanical rabbit flashed by the media, conservatives ought to start rallying around Romney as the only Republican who has a shot at beating Obama. We'll attack him when he's president.

It's fun to be a purist, but let's put that on hold until Obama and his abominable health care plan are gone, please."


I agree with her. In spite of his abysmal failures, Obama is going to be HARD to beat. It isn't just about finding a candidate you like. It's also about thinking strategically and choosing someone who can defeat the current President. Ann thinks Newt is corrupt and immoral, so that leaves Romney and Cain. Cain is going to have a miraculous recovery and stop bumbling around with the way he responds to questions if he wants to have any chance, and IMO he has little to no chance left in this election.

I want to say this first...

I don't believe the majority of the establishment Republicans that have been declaring Mitt Romney the "de facto" winner ACTUALLY believe that Mitt will beat Obama.

Mitt does not have the charisma.
He stands for absolutely nothing.
He has no firm foundation.
He doesn't excite the base AT ALL.

People vote for him because he's better than Obama, not because they believe what he's saying... or believe that he believes what he's saying.

The majority of the GOP don't trust him. A small minority just won't vote for him. He is a weak establishment candidate. He can't reach out to swing voters in Ohio or Kentucky... they don't want to hear what a Massachusetts liberal has to say about anything and they know he doesn't share his values. To top it all off, he's a follower of an insane cult.

The establishment supports him over all of the other candidates, but know he can't beat Obama. That's why well after Mittens was in the race they were trying to pull in Paul Ryan, Tim Pawlenty, and Chris Christie urging them to run because nobody else could beat Obama... anybody wonder why that was if the establishment was confident they had this winning ticket with Romney at the top on lock?

THEY KNOW Mittens will lose to Obama. We need to excite our base, with someone who can reach out to the rural independents. Santorum speaks the language of the Ohio, Kentucky, Pennsylvania moderates/independents. Put someone like Tim Pawlenty, Jeb Bush, or McConnell on the ticket with him and you have a winning ticket.

The establishment does not want a real conservative on the ticket and that's the problem. It will cost us in 2012 if we don't stop buying into this silly theory that the candidate has to be moderate to win the general election. That logic went out the window when Obama beat Clinton "the moderate" in 2008 and then won the general election. If Obama wasn't too liberal, Santorum isn't too conservative.... Ron Paul maybe.
