What the hell is the matter with Ann Coulter? It's as if, about six months ago, she took a DNA pill and turned into somebody else -- Muffy from New Haven or something.
What is up with this woman? She's writing as if she's lost her mind. Reminds me of David Brock -- but that was blackmail by the Klintonx, in particular Hildebeast.
Can I suggest, without being ripped as Romneybot or a RINO or an idiot or a troll or someone who "hasn't recovered enough" the idea known in philosophical circles as Occam's Razor?
In other words, the SIMPLEST explanation is probably the best.
Maybe she believes Romney is the best choice.
Not everyone who believes Romney is a viable candidate is evil or stupid. Some are, yes. But all of them? If anything, she is taking a pro-SOMETHING stand.
I remember some media types in 2004, liberal ones, saying "We can't just say "I hate Bush!" The LIBERALS were saying, "We have to be FOR SOMEONE, not just AGAINST Bush." They were right...much of the 2004 message from the left was "Bush sucks!" And they lost...yes, I know a lot had to do with Lurch and the Breck Girl. But a lot also had to do, I think, with being merely ANTI-BUSH...
I despise Hussein's philosophy and governance as much as ANY of us here on Free Republic. I am still in the process of figuring out WHO I am for, as my state primary happens in only 27 days.
I respect ANYONE who pushes a pro-Mr. X candidacy, even if I disagree with their candidate's positions. At least they're out there promoting SOMETHING.
I believe THINKING people (and most long-time FREEPers, I think, are THINKING people) react better to "Here is why you should vote for X" than "X is a low down dirty scumbag, so you shouldn't vote for him."
I don't mean we shouldn't look at people's record, either--of course we should. Romney has done a lot to earn criticism...but so much of the invective I see here seems to be rants against Romney and precious little in the realm of "Instead, vote for _______".
Okay, I hope this is taken the right way. I do respect you all...I am just concerned about the seeming hatred for anyone who thinks Romney isn't an evil SOB. (I am not addressing the facts about Romney here, just the reaction to people who don't demonize him.)
