Hannity & Colmes was another Romney infomercial tonight. Hannity carried Romney over 3 commercial breaks.
It is amazing when you contrast the gentle treatment Fox gives Romney when you contrast it with Huckabee.
They don't pull any punches when Huckabee is on. They slam him with accusations but do it by saying "so and so says this about you, how are you going to respond to them when they accuse you of this?" LOL! They do this day and night on Fox and on radio and they had the audacity to question Huckabee for showing the media an ad he pulled! These people like Hannity, Coulter, Ingraham... have been playing surrogate hatchtmen (and hatchet-women) for Romney for several months! (after Rudy disappeared they became hacks for Romney.)
It's funny how condescending Coulter was in her latest rant. These people act like we are sheep but they are the people who all came out simultaneously with the same exact talking points, word for word. The problem is their talking points were based upon half truths given to them by the Club for Growth and they never did their homework beyond those talking points. It was clear they only had one side of the story and the sad thing is that even if they knew they were wrong, they are too far in it to ever publically admit it.
There is a serious schism now and regardless of what they say about how we will "unite" in our "hate for Hillary Clinton" (as O'reilly stated) and vote for whomever is the Republican nominee, they may be in for a rude awakening.
I have long been a fan of these people but it really makes me think about the fact that some like ann coulter get rich by selling books that are so malicious and obnoxious in nature that regardless of the fact that I agree with most of what she says in terms of policy, she would NEVER win over ANYONE who is a Democrat or even a moderate. What good is someone to the CAUSE of conservatism if they are so obnoxious in their delivery that they harden the hearts of those who hear her?
It makes me think that people like ann and others like the divisiveness as it sells their books. How is anyone honestly supposed to receive the message and have the truth penetrate their hearts when the messenger delivering the message is insulting them? I don't believe in watering down the truth nor did Christ or his apostles. But they did instruct us to deliver the truth in LOVE; which is something these people are clearly NOT doing.
Put in that context, perhaps people like Coulter are in reality - entertainers. They entertain those already converted - but they are of virtually no use in winning anyone over.
So if you are in SC or FL and you are listening to these folks on the TV or radio and having any doubts about what your HEART tells you is the candidate for whom you should cast your precious vote - because you have heard these entertainers who make their living from the status quo slamming your candidate:
1. Ask yourself how many converts these "experts" have won over to the truth in the past decade.
2. look at Governor Huckabee and how he delivers his message.
3. Ask yourself which has the best chance of making anything change for the better. i.e. who has the best chance of being listened to by an open minded Democrat or independent?
There are more Democrats than there are Republicans. So choose with solicitude.

Thanks for the update - I turned it off when slippery Mitt came on ...
Who else are you going to slam? And have you met your quota yet?
Yes, the media dolts plug whomever they are told to plug (i.e. paid to plug). However, I have no sympathy for Huckster at all and I hope his candidacy crashes and burns as soon as possible.
What has Ann done besides make herself wealthy?
She has contributed mightily to the literary history of conservative thought.
For that, she should be held high. She can ride on my shoulders any time she likes.
Check it out! A new sign-up...and the very first posting is to dis Ann. How cute...I haven’t gotten to use my ZOT html in awhile. :-)
She’s very good at exposing RINOs
We already have great service academies-- West Point, Anapolis, Colorado Springs, the Merchant Marines and Coast Guard-- but not the kind the Huckster wants.
Well, to begin with, she has used capitalization correctly..............
Ann Coulter is asking for voters to do a little research before they vote. If you did just a little research about Huckabee and McCain, you would discover that they might as well be democrats.
By the way, I was furious with FOX News for playing Huckabee’s hit piece against Romney that Huckabee supposedly pulled.
Maybe FOX News is finally giving Romney a fair shot which the anti Romney folks can’t tolerate.
sHe Has dOne EnoUgh.
Ann Coulter’s books are neither malicious or obnoxious. They are courageous efforts to tell the truth that the media regularly suppress. Ann Coulter visits college campuses and debates liberals on hostile ground. She is an intelligent and insightful woman who is both accurate and entertaining.
The fact that you find Ann Coulter “malicious and obnoxious” and can’t figure out that Huckabee is a phony shows you are either hopelessly naive or a Democrat disinformation agent.
I knew Ann was pushing for Romney. She always got flushed when she talked about him on TV and her tone of voice softened. lol
Poor Ann, she has it bad. ;-)
I hope she realizes she has just made Romney a bigger target for the MSM. She should have endorsed Huckabee.
Let me pay you a compliment. As a recent arrival, I admire your courage in posting nightly vanities.
I think Ann is wrong to keep plugging Romney while ignoring Fred, but she is certainly right to jump on Huckabee.
As for what she has accomplished, I’d say quite a lot. She almost single-handedly killed the McCarthyite scare tactic, which the left had been pulling out every five minutes for the past 50 years in order to silence their critics.
Ann is sharp but funny, which is more than you can say for the heavy handed insults regularly thrown around by the left. She successfully makes the leftists into objects of ridicule, which is a powerful and effective approach.
And she understands what the problem is with Huckabee—not that he is an Evangelical Christian, but that he is a hypocritical fake, who uses preacher language to further his own corrupt political ambitions.
