Ann Coulter Could Not Be More Wrong

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.

No, Ron Paul is just a bit demented (at least with foreign policy).

On the other hand, I would support a Santorum/Bachman ticket. Their record on social issues are compatible, and she would strengthen him against charges of earmarking and other problems.

Santorum/Bachmann would be worse than McCain/Palin, which was a terrible ticket, and would almost guarantee an Obama victory.

Exactly!

WOLF: Time for a Romneycare mea culpa

There’s a conservative case to be made for Mr. Romney, at least for his recent conversion to conservatism, but Ms. Coulter instead chooses to undercut conservatism to benefit her candidate. She claims that Romneycare, the blueprint for Obamacare, the most dramatic lunge toward socialism in our lifetime, is “a massive triumph for conservative free-market principles.”

Does she have any idea the damage she does to the conservative cause with those words?

Of course, if Ms. Coulter or anyone else convinces Mr. Romney that he’s already a conservative and Romneycare proves it, then we’re in deep trouble.

If the former governor would like to reach out to the conservative Republican base, I suggest he start by finally acknowledging the obvious: Government has no business interposing itself between you and your doctor. He should begin his Romneycare mea culpa with these three words: I was wrong.

Ann Coulter may want to join him.

Excellent article explaining the ramifications of the insurance mandate!

Coulter Care

Sorry, Ann. I have adored you as a commentator, as you know, and appreciate your kind words about me in the past. But in discussing the individual mandate in your piece last week, "Three Cheers for RomneyCare," you honestly don't know what you are talking about.

In the process, you are transgressing on my own work and past policy achievements, and grossly undermining the policy and political case against Obamacare. Read on, and I will explain in full.

It was me, working for and with conservative health policy guru John Goodman, who first rang the alarm bell for conservatives over the individual mandate in the early 1990s. As I explained recently in this space, it was we who led the fight to kill the Heritage Foundation health bill at that time.
