“And just a more corporate problem is I think our party and particularly our movement, the conservative movement, does have more of a problem with con men and charlatans than the Democratic Party,” she said. “I mean, the incentives seem to be set up to allow people — as long as you have a band of a few million fanatical followers, you can make money. The Democrats have managed to figure out how not to do that.”

What the heck happened to Ann?
After those fantastic books she wrote I never would have guessed she was such a GOP establishment wonk
I am almost ready to drop my marriage proposal, Ann (stop being coy and playing hard to get- I know you are dating someone just to make me jealous)
>’’Sheesh..... what happened to Coulter’’?< Menopause.
“As long as you have a band of a few million fanantical followers”
Like the ones who buy Ann’s books and keep her in the millionaire’s club.
She tipped her hand.
My buddy gave her twenty-five bucks when she was running and now he is getting an email per day painting some nightmare scenario that will happen if he does not continue to send money to her. A lot of them are so over-the-top he forwards them to me so I can have a good laugh.
Nice lady, great conservative....but her advisers and her operations people really suck!
NO, I think others on FR who said it before were right. There’s nothing wrong with her. This is really who and what she is. Her books and TV schtick were no different than a man writing under a female pseudonym in a romance novel or an actor playing a part - AKA fake.
We ignored the warnings because we liked what she said. And she DID s say it well. It worked for Obama with the libs and it worked on most of us with Coulter. The rest of us pretty much owe those Freepers that recognized the truth long ago an apology.
Ann seems to have come down with a bad case of Beautiful Person-itis. Perhaps that’s what happens when you keep an apartment in Manhattan and date Democrats.
That oughta do it....
You just know that somewhere in a Madison Ave agent’s literary office, some dude is just banging his head on a desk and selling off any stock in ‘Coulter futures’ ;)
Actually, I once made the mistake of buying one of her books. It turned out to be about 10 pages or so in the forefront and then the rest was a trashed out reprint of her former columns...I was disappointed at the time. It was lazy and just an excuse to get out and hawk a book and make money......just another trashy ho’ of a different (or was) political persuasion.
I wouldn’t waste my time reading anything she writes or says.
I was being sarcastic, sort of. I was fooled by her too. I’m a former liberal and the things she said helped me to become a conservative.
LOL....no doubt.
I’m sure you aren’t alone. Like I say, she was damn good at what she did.
It’s really a shame. People made hay about her ‘polarizing’ nature, but she was good at articulating the obvious in ways that were informative and entertaining. That it turned out to be just an act to make money sure doesn’t help us politically and it sure isn’t going to add to her bank account going ahead.
Speculation - If she wasn’t ‘fake’ then what ever the libs had on her was just as likely to result in her base abandoning her so perhaps she took her chances and whatever she hypothetically got paid and intends a full Huffington in the future?
Who knows?
First point. How would drafting in Palin void the vetting process? Anybody still seriously think she’s that much inferior to this field? Anybody still seriously think there are any dirty little secrets we don’t know about her?
Second point. Rick Perry never was the dream candidate. He never was Mr. Right. Starting in early October, the declared field has always been and still is a succession of Messrs. and Mrs. Right Nows.
Third point. I wouldn’t accuse anybody in the field of what Ann’s implying about Sarah Palin. I think they’re all, including Palin, doing what they’re doing in good faith. I think that realistically speaking most if not all the field, including Mitt, would have as hard a time as if not harder than Palin would have in the general, but I don’t think they’re frauds.
Fourth point. To the extent that this campaign’s getting dragged out, it’s because of the quality of the candidates in the field. Blaming the one person who opted out five, going on six, months ago is lame.
Fifth and last. Telling a pol “you can’t do a show or write a book” is like telling earlier generations of pols “you can’t do a column or do speaking engagements...or write a book”. It’s not going to happen.
She’s brilliant. She is throwing bombs and bringing Conservatives together to coalesce around a candidate other than Romney.
Personally I think she is TOFTT. And while she is doing this, the left is hating her and the middle are buying her books.
Strategery?
Link to the article and read the comments. Very few nice things said about Ms. Coulter.
I don't know if that's the reason she's backing Romney, but it wouldn't surprise me.
She’s a party girl and a Wino. Okay, put down the pipe and the glass of wine.
Desperation looks good on no one, does it, especially for more political cash.
Bachman is all you say, but she probably should have bailed much earlier to avoid such debt. I recall rather broad complaints for the heavy handedness of her “staffers”, manifested in so many different ways and in nearly every setting and event. Probably more zealotry than brains or competence.
Thanks for the interesting experience.
Good guess.
