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.

The lovely and vivacious Ann Coulter, as always, is a breath of fresh air. Whatever comes from her superbly painted fingernails is the GOSPEL!

Sure. I can think with jumping the RINO.

She’s probably right though. But the Democrats and the MSM, aided by clueless Republican commentariat are going to make sure the fix is in.

That’s the problem. We’re fighting for principle and all certain folk are concerned with is “electability.”

Ann, that obsession will neither lead to the defeat of Obama or to the repeal of Obamacare.

Don’t tell us you are surprised when he loses next November.

Boy is she full of crap. The media pushing alternatives because they don’t want Romney? I guess she missed the relentless hourly updates about Herman Cain’s problems, Perry’s messups, etc, etc. What a paid liar! Eat dirt RINO Coulter!

Too soon, Ann.

I guess she makes the best apologia that can be made. (I would have added that Bob Bork is on Romney’s judicial selection committee, which at least suggests that any “President Romney” wouldn’t pick any Souters or Brennans.)

But, Too soon.

I love Ann, but if she thinks the media are “pushing Newt” she needs to eat something. Or maybe she just hasn’t been watching MSNBC or the networks.

Um, no Ann. The media is beating up, not pushing, Newt ever since he has climbed in the polls (due to his own performance, particularly in the debates).

Everyone has a blind spot, but damn Annie yours is huge on this one. The mainstream media, and Jimmah Carter, n0bama, axelrod, every liberal, CRAVE Mitty as the nominee. He's the one guy running that they aren't terrified of in any way, shape or form.

Ann used to be cool, used to have some guts. Now she's just another northeast establishment Republican. How disappointing.

/facepalm

Ubama's people are salivating at the thought of running against the ultimate principle-less flip-flopper, Mittens. "Repeal Obamacare"?? Romney will (accurately) be painted as one of its architects.

This is an old cartoon, so don't forget the "Pro-Communist Health Care" and "Anti-Communist Health Care" podiums:

Ann has become a bit of a RINO shrew in the last few years.

What’s changed between now and 2008?

The latest “moderate Republican” will lose.

I’m afraid the GOP establishment learned nothing from the defeat of McCain and it has forgotten everything.

Conservatives haven’t.

Yes! Ban everyone who disagrees with you. That will keep you pure and unpolluted. RINOs, RINOs EVERYWHERE! Lalalalalalala, I can’t hear them.

There may be better ways to stop Obamacare than Romney, but, unfortunately, they're not available right now. (And, by the way, where were you conservative purists when Republicans were nominating Waterboarding-Is-Torture-Jerry-Falwell-Is-an-Agent-of-Intolerance-My-Good-Friend-Teddy-Kennedy-Amnesty-for-Illegals John McCain-Feingold for president?)
Well, many of us were right here. And we sure weren't pushing wishy washy Romney!

Nor were we happy with McCain.

I wasn't going to vote for him, but voted for Sarah.

I should have known that McCain and his staff (and Romney people, that snake Romney) were stabbing her and her conservative message in the back.

McCain was just using Palin to get a few more votes, and then of course his loss was blamed on Palin.

Har, he would have lost by millions more vote if he didn't pick Sarah for his VP.

That could be where we end up. Those who won’t vote RINO should at least be motivated to vote for Congress to get to gridlock.

She’s really gone off the reservation... or maybe she always was.... faux-Conservative. How can she support the likes of these Northeastern RINO’s? Then again, she dated Bill the Nose.

If the GOP foists Romney on us, it will lead to the birth of a new political party.

Its time we ban Ann Coulter from FR.

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?
