Has the GOP-E co opted Ann Coulter?

Posted on 05/08/2012 6:20:34 PM PDT by Halfmanhalfamazing

Trent Lott famously said "We don't need a lot of Jim DeMint disciples," Lott said in an interview. "As soon as they get here, we need to co-opt them." - and I know what I think.

I want to know what you think. Has she(Coulter) surrendered to the progressives within the republican establishment?

I know it's way late to ask the question, but better late than never.

Just my 1/2 cent. To a lot of folks, it isn’t about establishment versus Conservatives, it is about victory first and they see victory as the old, who has the most money paradigm.

What they can’t see is the paradigm is changing. Look what happened to Luger.

There’s only one thing Annie is looking out for: herself.

Bingo. It's just some freepers didn't notice that until she hitched her wagon to Romney and he won the nomination (she endorsed Romney in '08, but her fan club here simply ignore it and pretended she was "for Duncan Hunter" because said some nice things about him)

Nothing's changed about Annie, except some vehemently anti-Romney freepers woke up.

Coulter matters not.

What matters is what the Senate GOP told DeMint after the 08 election....that his issues and legislation would “rot on the counter, like a piece of old fruit”.

Conservatives should have nothing to do with the GOP.

Either

A. Ann has deeply infiltrated the Gay Media Mafia, or

B. The Gay Media Mafia has used Ann to infiltrate us.

The Breitbart split with Drudge/GayCPAC/Ann bears this out.

She has a pathetic need to have people talk about her.

Even when she isn’t talking crazy there is nothing insightful in her writing.

It is well worth ignoring her.

Ann,

You do nothing for me. You and the other two bit opportunistic phonys out there like the toe suckin Dick Morris, Morning Joe, etc etc. Have sold out.

The only way we turn this country around is with real conservatives...who have a creative instinct...And who understand where we’ve been as a country and where we should go.

A year ago you told us Romney was a loser... now you’re behind him all the way...

Your boy Romney will cave the first time he chooses a SCOTUS. Mark my words...

I sleep sound at night knowing I have no control over things...that I have no control over... only myself...

I won’t spend another 10 cents on anything you write...

nitey nite...

Dittos to that. She’s always been focused on her book royalties and celebrity status. She’s done some good things for conservatives but she travels with a Manhattan crowd that tilts far to the Left. She can be devastatingly funny but I’ve always questioned her basic conservative principles.

Ann is a.country club Republican who knows how to pose as a grass roots conservative to sell books. She’s very talented.

A close friend of my family is gay. We have known him over 20 years. He and his partner are members of the Tea Party. Neither believes in gay marriage, they are both pro life and share in the Tea Party’s principles. He doesn’t go to Church but he believes in school prayer.

I think this is the crowd Coulter is cavorting with.

Coulter has either outed herself as a GOPe Rino or she was "persuaded" to do what is "best" for her career, so to speak.

Personally, I think she's had a pretty good ride on the conservative gravy train, but her ticket to ride expired and she got off at the last station.

Now, she can finally just be who she really is. The act is over.

I must have missed the memo.

What does GOP-E stand for:
GOP-Establishment,
GOP-Elite,
GOP-Effite Snobs?

Inquiring minds want to know.

Answer: Yes!

The first sign was when she called the Article 2 defenders “CRANKS” and used the KKK to make her point. Since then every other week or show she further shows that she is firmly a GOP-er.
