Way to make an argument. Jerk.
We've seen our share of battles lately. I'm tired of the circular firing squads as well.
My purity test is pretty simple. The candidate must be Pro-Life. It is the one issue I won't waver on. I have a whole bunch of preferences after that and the candidate that fits most of them and has the experience/charisma to do what he says he will do I support. We keep losing on policy to the Rats because they are so much more pragmatic then we are. They will take a little bit of the loaf rather than waiting for the whole loaf.
I like the field of candidates except for Romney and maybe Cain. I would like to vote for Perry, but if it's Newt, Bachmann, Santorum, even Paul I would vote for them.
An example of how the purist's play into the Rats hands is immigration. We appear to be a bunch of hateful nativists and it's really not true. The problem is not being solved, which benefits the Rats, and we keep shooting down good candidates because they aren't perfect on the issue even though the solutions they offer would solve the problem.
I don’t hate her, do you?
Sorry....too much coffee today :>)
That’s true, she did support Christie. Personally, I think Gingrich stands a better chance of betting Obama. I don’t think of Mitt as the anti-Christ, but Romneycare will be his albatross as well as his waffling.
Best to realize that any republican candidate will not be treated fairly. And I believe the Veep slot will be even more important in this election. So whoever the nominee is, had better choose very carefully and very wisely.
Who are you calling a jerk?
Ann says this because she is a northeast conservative. Typically, they are fiscal conservatives that are also pro-defense. They lack the religious element in their conservatism and are not Pro-Life, Pro-Marriage, Pro-Family. If she was able to stand back and look there isn't a single Pub running who can't beat obama in a debate.
obama will make one emotional appeal after another and create strawmen in the process demonizing his opponent. The response to this is simple, "the facts tell a different story". What is the misery index? What is the unemployment rate? Why have your supporters received special treatment while the rest of the country has suffered?
Newt is clearly the best debater, but that also raises the bar for him in people's expectations. Perry has had the most criticism of his debating but he is everything we could hope for on the issues. I like Perry and that's who I'm giving money to. I think the importance of the debates is overblown and I think the "skill" our teleprompter in chief has debating is overblown as well.
I know I’m pure. My Mom said so and she never lied.
I don’t remember, but it was a brilliant point.
“And boy, the Obama White House is loving this, keep Republicans fighting.”
Conservatives, on the other hand, know what they want. The Republicans are on their own.
Exactly...I learned my lesson from 2008, when they foisted McLame on us....I'm not falling for it again. They'll lose anyway if they go with Romney, so I really don't care.
We’re a force to be reckoned with. Fair, firm and consistent.
Good luck getting what you "want" without the Republican party. Its imperfect, but conservatism dies and the country is doomed without it.
Fine. Let the Pubs stand on their own then. I’ll sleep just fine.
What’s pathetic is selling out your integrity. It hasn’t worked yet - or haven’t you looked around lately?
You might be my sister. :)
I’m saying I’m not sure the uniform she is wearing says which team she is on.
I’m sure of it. I found you!!!
The Fonz jumped the shark, Ann landed on it.
Really? You think that? To these eyes, the woman doesn't approach even middling good looks. So thin that the breasts are just barely there. And that elongated face? Oh gee. Some peoples' tastes.

HowTo: Spot A Transsexual
Adam’s apple
The apple got stuck in Adam’s throat, not Eve’s, so if she has one, she’s probably a transsexual. Ann Coulter and Sandra Bullock are both transsexuals, although they’ve both been able to pass, at least in some circles, as genetic women. Bullock, despite the masculine sound of her surname and her obviously masculine throat, has succeeded well enough to be accepted as female by much of the world’s population and is always referred to as an actress rather than as an actor.
