"No wonder Democrats were so testy about bringing democracy to Iraq: They can't bear democracy in America."
I was going to make this my tagline but, alas, it is too long.
Sometimes? The man is the biggest RINO on the savanna! There is no position the Dems take that he will not take up a position further left on, just to get the media adoration and face-time he craves. Additionally, I believe he hates the President after having been beaten by him in 2000.
We got another Republican fundraising call tonight. My husband is so disgusted at the continual caving in they do for the Democrats so they won't lose their "moderate" constituency or SOMETHING that he is not sending more money until they quit wimping out and understand just WHO their constituency is. The Senate "Good Old Boy" Club and the Gentlemen Farmer Republican Senators who play tiddlywinks with the Democrats (who play HARDBALL when they are in power) seem to just simply be playing a game. Some of them even seem to be lightly agreeing that 2008 is "Hillary's Turn".
John McCain is on John McCain's side and no one else's.
Ann - As Always - you are 'Right on'!!
LuvYa Babe!!

The Seven are not only RINOs....but FRENCH ...yellow flags flying in the wind...and yellow down their backs. Makes me want to puke. Cowards and scum...ok, now let me tell ya how I REALLY feel about the 7 losers... :) Actually, I like the French better, they at least see Chrack head for who he is. Ok, the French are smarter.
bttt
Ann sounds as po'd as me.
Meantime, RNC, my checkbook remains closed until every Bush nominee gets CONFIRMED.
Really? My high school freshman could do a better job.
Thank you for asking so politely about my opinion. I appreciate the good manners.
There are a couple of things that Ann does when she's writing that I find a bit juvenile.
Now, that's just me and many, many are going to disagree. However, I think if more people were actually analyzing her stuff honestly, they might feel the same way.
First of all I think this type of sarcasm is a bit childish. It might be okay every now and then, but she will use this technique several times in each article....
It's not as if the Democrats have behaved outrageously for the past four years using their minority status to block Bush's nominees. Oh wait no, I have that wrong.
This stuff runs me nuts. She repeats that same "technique" in the very next paragraph. Then she skips a paragraph and then does it again. It's done several more times.
I don't think that takes much creativity and I think she's got more intelligence than that.
This sentence is a bit silly to me also....
The Senate majority leader, Bill Frist, thought the party with the most votes should be able to win. (Boy talk about out of touch! And this guy wants to be president?)
She writes lots of silly stuff like this.
It's much like my daughter used to write a couple of years ago. It's BLOG type stuff, not the stuff of a "major" columnist.
I guess that's it mainly. Most of the time it sound like a Blog written by some "valley girl" or something. It's like 'Duh", sort of stuff.
Not the way I would expect a nationally syndicated columist and Constitutional lawyer to write.
Does that make sense?
Finally, she's EXTREMELY repetitious. She doesn't come to the point. She will ramble all around it her point, rephrasing the same thing over and over (and over) again.
To me, a good columnist will make a point, explain it and then sum it up. Really good ones will teach us something.
Ann writes for her fans. She doesn't appeal to people who aren't rabid (rules, man, Rules) fans and she is so abrasive that she turns off many people who aren't political junkies.
I know the routine, (so while I don't expect you to do it since you asked a sincere question that was respectful), I expect many comments about how I must be jealous of Ann, etc.
Sadly it happens anytime I don't bow to Ann. I'm not remotely jealous but some freepers will drag it on for days, posting nastiness to me.
Like I said you don't appear to be that type and seem to be accepting of the fact that I can hold a different opinion.
In addition to "jealousy" type comments, I will also get plenty of "liberal" comments. I even got called a "commie" the other day.
If I don't get those kind of comments on this thread, it will mostly be because I said I am expecting them. That tends to be a bit of deterent, just to "prove me wrong".
This thread was from last week......Ann Coulter pics from Craig Ferguson's Late, Late Show
I made a comment at post 14. At post 286 I was STILL being flamed for it.
It's not that I have a problem with her being a smart ass....I can be as big of a smart ass as the next person. But I'm not supposed to be some sort of "conservative icon".
Oops, this is very long. Sorry, I'll bet you wished you had never asked!
Excellent photo.
