Ann Coulter: IF NOT ROMNEY, WHO? IF NOT NOW, WHEN? (No Ann NOT Rommey!)

IF NOT ROMNEY, WHO? IF NOT NOW, WHEN?

November 16, 2011
So now, apparently, we have to go through the cycle of the media pushing Newt Gingrich. This is going to be fantastic.

In addition to having an affair in the middle of Clinton's impeachment; apologizing to Jesse Jackson on behalf of J.C. Watts -- one of two black Republicans then in Congress –- for having criticized "poverty pimps," and then inviting Jackson to a State of the Union address; cutting a global warming commercial with Nancy Pelosi; supporting George Soros' candidate Dede Scozzafava in a congressional special election; appearing in public with the Rev. Al Sharpton to promote nonspecific education reform; and calling Paul Ryan's plan to save Social Security "right-wing social engineering," we found out this week that Gingrich was a recipient of Freddie Mac political money.

(Even I will admit, however, that Newt was great when he was chairman of GOPAC back in the '90s with Gay Gaines at the helm.)

Although Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac -- the institutions most responsible for the nation's current financial crisis -- were almost entirely Democratic cash cows, they managed to dirty up enough Republicans to make it seem like bipartisan corruption.

Democrats sucked hundreds of millions of dollars out of these institutions: Franklin Raines, $90 million; Jamie Gorelick, $26.4 million; Jim Johnson, $20 million.

By contrast, Republicans came cheap. For the amazingly good price of only $300,000 apiece, Fannie and Freddie bought the good will of former Reps. Vin Weber, R-Minn., Susan Molinari, R-N.Y., and Newt Gingrich, R-Ga.* Former Sen. Alfonse D'Amato, R-N.Y., was even cheaper at $240,000.

[*Correction: After Gingrich admitted last week to receiving $300,000 from Freddie, we found out this week that it was actually closer to $1.6 million.]

So now conservatives shy away from denouncing these crooked organizations for fear of running into Vin Weber at a cocktail party.

Sorry, guys -- on the plus side, you're millionaires, but on the downside, you've earned the contempt of your fellow man.

The mainstream media keep pushing alternatives to Mitt Romney not only because they are terrified of running against him, but also because they want to keep Republicans fighting, allowing Democrats to get a four-month jump on us.

Meanwhile, everyone knows the nominee is going to be Romney.

That's not so bad if you think the most important issues in this election are defeating Obama and repealing Obamacare.

GREAT follow-up reply! RONTFLMAO!

You have captured EXACTLY the point of my reply!

With America in its terminal financial death spiral, beauty makes very thin soup.

>> How can she support the likes of these Northeastern RINO’s? <<

Ummm, because she IS a northeastern RINO. I love how freepers used to go on about how they will "NEVER trust a Republican from New England" and at the same time they'd stand in line for 3 hours to get the lovely Ann Coulter, REPUBLICAN from CONNENICUT to autograph her latest book on "conservative values".

Guess they had no problem trusting one NE Republican was a good spokesman for conservativism in-between her dates with Bill Maher and GOProud meetings to drum up support for "Homocon" (their name, not mine)

>> Is that so? Were you among the many who just demanded that multiple photos of Ann Coulter be posted on each thread in which her articles appeared? They demanded "that the rules be observed." Where are they now? <<

Good question. I'd like to know what happened to all the freepers who flamed me for calling her the conservative version of Michael Moore. One is too fat, one is too thin. Both of them do the opposite of whatever they preach in public (Ann Coulter writes a column saying all we should kill all Muslim leaders and convert Muslims to Christianity, then falls head over heels for a devout Muslim man and starts dating him), and both of them do more harm than good for whatever ideological cause they're pushing this week.

Are all the freepers who defended Ann Coulter against "smears" whenever someone questioned her "conservative values" still planning to pre-order her next book? How are all those Ann Coulter rants working out when it comes to "saving America"? Convince any liberals to switch sides because Ann called them obscenities and reinforced the media stereotype that conservatives are mean nasty bigots?

Ann is laughing all the way to the bank.

No one is worried Romney will double-cross us on repealing Obamacare.

Actually, Ann, we don't know what Romney will do. He'll bend whichever way the wind blows.

I heard you say on Hanitty the other day that you support Romney because he's "manipulatable" - he can be manipulated to the conservative position. Well, that cuts both ways. He may be spouting the conservative position in the Republican primaries, but once he's nominated, what's to stop him from being manipulated to what he perceives as the more popular liberal position? He has no core principles and will say whatever he thinks will garner more votes.

How can you trust that he'll do what he says when even he doesn't believe what he says?

Let me know if you'd like to be added to the Ann Coulter ping list.

I think everyone is just throwing in the towel already and saying what the heck just put Romney or Newt in there and take our chances vs Obama. That’s the pathetic state we are in now. Coulter likes Romney more than Newt. Some like Newt more than Romney. No one really likes either.

I called her "a bimbo with a line of snappy patter" when she came out against the Roberts and Alito nominations and was pilloried for it, called everything from a homo to a community organizer.

For all those shallow twits (those that haven't got themselves consequently banned, at least), here's another pic of Their Heroine...

What are you doing? Occupying Free Republic?

The fact that Ann is in the Romney camp leads me to believe that there’s more to the story than I read here.

The lady is crazy. I don’t recall Newt or any other repub candidate berating or criticizing another to extent that Ann does here.

She’s crazy, she’s absolutely lost it.

I think a fair debate between Newt and Romney is in order, but this lady does want to hear that. She takes completely out of context the left’s talking points against Newt and distorts them.

“It’s fun to be a purist, but let’s put that on hold “

She’s criticizing Newt for not being purist. This lady is insane.

Many of us here were dead against McCain. We realized that he was the worst possible candidate in a long time.

Heh. Same here. I never cared for Ann Coulter, found some of her remarks mildly amusing, but she completely lost me once she went on a scorched earth campaign to destroy Bush's conservative judicial nominees and constantly accused them of being socialist sleeper cells without one shed of evidence in her favor (to this day, she's never admitted she was wrong). From that point on, I realized she did more harm than good for American conservatism. But if you dared criticize Princess Ann, her fans would say you've bought into the "lies from liberal hate Ann sites" and that Princess Ann is such a wonderful principled conservative icon.

At least Ann Coulter's fan club stopped blathering on about "the rules" once she started hanging out with GOPproud.

Really, if you examine their careers, Coulter's fame differs little from Michael Moore's. Both will say anything and demagogue anyone or anything to get attention, not caring if their statements have any basis in fact.

Moore's personal life pretty much represents everything he claims to despise and rail against. Moore decries the evils of white men, America, corporations, the rich, fat cats, media propaganda, etc., and here's a guy who's an enormously successful white American male who got rich off corporations, lives like a king, and misleads people thru media manipulation.

Same with Coulter. She constantly goes on tirades against the Hollywood elite, screechy loudmouth women, homosexual activists, the liberal press, Muslims, premarital sex and casual dating without the santity of marriage, etc., and here's a loudmouth screechy women who wines and dines with the most notable liberal press and Hollywood elite, dates Muslims, headlines events for homosexual activists, constantly gets attention by saying something outrageous that the liberal press publishes, and sleeps around with all kinds of people without ever having been married.

I have to wonder if they believe 10% of the stuff that comes out of their mouth. They certainly don't practice it.

A while back Jim Rob posted WHY McRomney is anathema to the ideals of this forum.

If Ann Coulter is supporting Romney, and her statements are utulized to support positions contrary to what Jim Rob has staked out to be anathema to the ideals of Free Republic: I am certain zot smoke will abound (all the pictures notwithstanding).

AFAIK: this is an inviolable and non-negotiable postition proclaimed through edict by Jim Rob. The number - and quality therof - pictures of Coulter on any arbitrary thread are notwithstanding.

Oh yes, I forgot... the FR "rules" for an Ann Coulter thread. Well for all you Ann Coulter fans lurking on here who are afraid to admit your princess is ever wrong, feast your eyes on her hotness:

I’m sure Ann’s homosexual Log-Cabin friends would support her endorsement of the liberal republican candidate.

Ann: "As we've known for years, his negatives are: Romneycare and Mormonism."

As we've known for years, his negatives are: Romney/Obamacare and Mormonism liberalism.

Just being provocative to those Freepers who just line up to worship at the feet of the Messiah of the moment. Think Rep. Eric Cantor, Gov. Chris Cristie, etc., all of whom were the cat’s meow at one time to some Freepers but who were not what they were perceived to be, i.e., real conservatives.

You're on a roll!

Ann, we hardly knew you.

Jim, it is time for her to get the ZOT.

Let’s face it—Romney is no Republican. He is a traitor to all we hold dear.

His candidacy will guarantee two things:

1. A second Obama term.

2. A new political party that replaces the GOP, which goes the way of the Whigs.

Item 1 does not HAVE to happen; and item 2 is going to happen regardless.

Jim, you should give Ann a call as a courtesy. After all, at the FR March for Justice she did speak, and we helped her rise to fame, as the people here were her biggest fans
and bought her books, etc. when she was not that well known.

And if you determine she has ingested the Mitt Kool-Aid in an irreversible fashion, then shake the dust off your sandals and depart.

I’m tired of being stabbed in the back by RINOS. At least the Dems try to stab you from the front.
