Ann Coulter is, er, was a tea party favorite. Now she's all in with the GOP establishment against the tea party. Such a pity. Hope she recovers quickly.

Rebellion is ON!!

Join or die!!

Don't tread on me!!

Coulter errs in her belief that there is any large number of "independents" to be attracted to anything.

There simply isn't.

As both Barry Goldwater and Lyndon Johnson proved, and then had validated by Richard Nixon four years later, we have no MIDDLE and we have no INDEPENDENTS.

Everybody who is going to vote is a member of a group or class of some sort that's affiliated with one of the two great coalitions called Republicans or Democrats.

You win an election by holding onto your own party's voting base and peeling off a coalition member from the other party, or at least enough of one to make a difference in the final outcome.

Goldwater didn't hold the base ~ the Rockefeller Republicans, and a whole lot of others, simply abandoned him for a variety of reasons. But Johnson didn't rest on his laurels. He promised blacks that they'd get even more civil rights legislation, so they voted for him and got those laws. They never looked back.

Four years later Richard Nixon peeled off the Southern whites. They never looked back either.

Subsequently Ronald Reagan peeled off half the previously All Democrat Catholic voters ~ the half who go to church BTW ~ then later on Perot did the same thing, but not enough to win, but Clinton rode in without the Teamsters, or half the Catholics, and virtually none of the Southern whites.

That brings us to this election. We have 26 million UNEMPLOYED people. They are mostly young. The Obots still imagine the YOUTH are theirs ~ beefing up all their coalition members.

Ann still imagines those Youth are captives of the Democrats. She also imagines those imaginary Independents (or Moderates as they used to be called) will ride to the aid of the Republicans if given one of their own kind as a candidate.

Sorry. That doesn't work. There are no large masses of independents but there are large massives of unemployed young people and they will vote for Newt Gingrich if he appeals to them for help in moving the job killers out of Washington.

That's going to cause some of the Republican Representatives to lose their jobs of course, and maybe a couple of senators, but there are 26 million of these kids ~ far outnumbering any sort of independent vote!

I think he can do it.

I don't think a guy whose second biggest occupation, firing people, is attractive to them in the slightest!

Did you listen to the Rush show within the last two weeks???? I think? Where he said he heard some inside info that Romney said if he won he’d be a one termer. Why? Because he would elimate so much of the entrenched garbage such as SS, the NEA, State Department ect... Tin foil hat stuff and quite unlike Rush to repeat rumors.

He has yet to say it again and I’ve found nothing on the Net.

To: Jim Robinson; All

“Now she’s all in with the GOP establishment against the tea party.”

You have dealt with her personally. Is she changed, or just showing what she always was?

I can’t really get that mad at her for supporting Romney, but it is the extremes she goes to do so. There is no good reason for here to talk trash about Newt....we know he is flawed. I for one accept that fact and have decided he is still the best overall pick. IF these were more peaceful times I, a primarily a social conservative, would be supporting Santorum....because he is right on social/morale issues and he is really right about the danger of Islamists. I admire his courage to speak out on that when it isn’t politically correct. Whatever, in the times we are in, I feel that Newt is best suited to lead the GOP charge against Obama, and to be the best president. I do wish he would pick Santorum as his VEEP.

Romney is too “moderate” (a polite way of saying “liberal light”). Also, I must be honest that his Mormonism makes him unpalatible to me. I will say, I have no doubt he is a decent and honorable man....I just don’t think he is the best choice for POTUS. I cannot understand Ms. Coulter’s adoration of the man. To support him...I understand....but adoration is scary.
