On January 4, 2012, Ann Coulter - the incendiary, controversial, self promoting gadfly of a conservative columnist - turned her sites on Republican Presidential candidate Rick Santorum. Ironically, Coulter made a name for herself by allegedly being anti-establishment. That was until October of 2011.

Then, she surprised many on the political left and the political right - and many in between. She endorsed the Republican establishment's candidate, Mitt Romney, for the Republican nomination in 2012 very early in the primary campaign.

Rather than question what might have prompted such an endorsement, I want to discuss her efforts to harm the candidacy of a very good man, Rick Santorum. I believe they reveal bigger problems with serious implications.

It seems that Ann has been possessed by the spirit of Christopher Hitchens.

I’m not Catholic but of the men still in the race, I trust Rick santorum more than any of the rest.

I think somebody has compromising pictures of Coulter, Christy and Romney. Although Ann and Romney are barely in the frame.

In my opinion if more of the candidates put God first including standing up for things that God condemns such as abortion and gay marriage, that is the candidate that could win this thing, because God honors those who do His will, and Santorum is the only candidate that I have heard that really seems to put the Lord first. I am sick of voting for those that put themselves first, and are too politically correct, too concerned with how their votes will be affected should they stand on the principles of the Bible at all costs, those are the candidates that are Christians in name only. I am sick of those. They are no better than our current POTUS.

LOl..I read the title and got excited in thinking she had recanted her endorsement of Romney and came around to Santorum. I cannot express my deep disappointment...

So tcg, how do you square Conservatism with the Catholic church position, as enunciated by people like the Archbishop of Los Angeles who basically flaunts our country’s immigration laws vis a vis illegal Mexican Immigration? To my mind, you can’t have church hierarchy “deciding” that their ideas about compassion and all that trumping Federal law. What say you?

Yeah Ann, Rick’s not a conservative like Christy and Romney.

Ann is moving away from conservatism, much like some of the other women journalists, who once were quite conservative and had great followings. They all seem to get the bug to be more important in the MSM world. Kathleen Parker, and many more who are thrilled to be called on as the “conservative voice” in things have all sold out to become accepted by the “mainstream”. Once in a while they say something worthwhile, but who cares any longer? I never read them anymore. Their opinion is not consistent and doesn’t matter.

why Catholics like me consider ourselves to be 'reluctant Republicans.

But it's ok to be democrat, who support abortions and gay marriage?

As for Coulter, I can only guess that she has become a Mormon in secret.....

I have never liked Ann Coulter. She embarrasses me.

On the contrary, I love Rick Santorum. I want to be him when I grow up — not her. LOL.

What I mean by that, is that I want to be considered a serious, thoughtful, kind, person.

I can only suppose that Ann has done the math and has realized that the stable of alternatives is now down to the ones that we can hope to actually win against Obama.

Another Obama administration will not be the milquetoast leader we have seen so far. A second term Obama will be much, much worse. Most of FR seems to be OK with that. I’m not.

Dearest Ann,

That restraining order is no longer needed.

NOT buying it. A true Catholic would never have to defend their belief.

To be honest, Santorum is so utterly dull, and offers so little of note when it comes to reforming government, that I wouldn’t even bother writing an article to attack him if I were Ann.
