Coulter: ‘With Newt Gingrich you throw out the baby and keep the bath water’
The Daily Caller ^ | 21 Jan 2012 | Jeff Poor

Posted on 01/22/2012 3:42:26 PM PST by mandaladon

On a Sunday morning appearance on “Fox & Friends,” conservative columnist Ann Coulter explained why Romney fell short in the South Carolina GOP presidential primary, blaming the priorities of South Carolina voters for Gingrich’s success.

“Apparently, South Carolinians would rather have the emotional satisfaction of a snotty remark toward the president than to beat Obama in the fall,” Coulter, the author of “Demonic: How the Liberal Mob Is Endangering America,” said. “We saw it in the debates when Gingrich would say things that didn’t really make sense. That is what you usually associate with Democrats, which I described in my last book, ‘Demonic,’ how mobs behave.”

Some of what Gingrich has said might appear to make sense, she said, but should be analyzed more closely.

“Something that sounds like it makes sense like, ‘Mitt Romney doesn’t have influence over his super PAC — that makes you wonder if he’ll have influence as president,’” she continued. “How many times does Mitt Romney have to say it is illegal for a candidate to have influence on the super PAC. It is not, interestingly, though, for a president to have influence. So it makes no sense if you think about it for all of three seconds, but it sounds like it makes sense. It is just like what you get from liberals most of the time and the cheers and yahoos, and that is what we kept getting from this audience.”

Coulter, who has been a Romney supporter since New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie said he would not be seeking the Republican nomination, was asked if Romney should change his strategy now that he suffered a defeat in South Carolina, and perhaps go on the offensive with “fire in the belly.”

I remain a loyal fan of Ann Coulter and I do understand the dismay felt at her promotion of Northeastern RINOS.

She's a lawyer and from Connecticut. You were expecting anything different?

Years ago, I warned on this board that all the miniskirting, plunging necklines, bare arms, too much makeup and false eyelashing...

and that maddening mane-flipping!!!...

would not work after age forty-nine. Now she's really pushing it, because she did not carve out a dignified place for herself post young-hottie.

Good show, Mr Robinson, and I would suggest that the link to her website on the home page here should disappear as well - she’s no longer an ally.

The argument you make applies to Romney. If Newt has poor chances against the superman Obama, what do you think would happen to a collection of straw and rags like Mitt Romney?

Chris Christie and Mitt Romney are both social liberals.

Makes one wonder if Ann has just been faking it on social issues to sell books all these years.

She has always favored libs. and carpet munchers.

Just writes conservative to sell more books, while laughing her skinny ass off and trying her best to get conservatives to vote communist.

Occasionally, she will date a commie male, because that is where her sentiment lies, and to make conservative males envious.

Thank You.

I think too that is also the reason why the GOP Elites and the Northeast RINOS despise us. They are malleable and bow to expediency, it’s what they think keeps them acceptable to the Democrats and the MSM.

Out here in the Heartland we despise them for that. Most of us live by our word and honor. And if these people want to represent us they need to do that also. And when they don’t... Well we can feel a slight pity for them for being weak But they need to go at that point, the positions they hold are too important for us to let them be there and fester.

Obama will take everything that is worse about our elections and uses it against Newt. Truth & lies, fact or fiction, do not matter with the money & media game Obama will play. What matter is what the people hear and see. That will be what Obama pays to put on their screen and bring to their doors.


I think you are right, the only thing I see along those lines is that I think most people are sick and tired of his voice and his face being on the TV every single Day. That might sway the election, they might just vote against him to get his voice and face off of the TV and Radio

All I was trying to do, was to get you to back up your claims about only winning six states.

If you had a track record of successfully predicting political outcomes, I might be more inclined to believe it on your say-so alone: but since your past predictions haven't fared so well, and you used the phrase "you FReepers will get your asses kicked" to boot, it came across as provocation.

As far as my intelligence, it blows hot and cold. My postings are legendary for their typos.

Florida Republicans and Conservatives … Let’s defeat “Barack Hussein Obama” in November 2012 and reclaim America for George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Alexander Hamilton (et al) !



Newt Gingrich is a conservative revolutionary, with the COURAGE to stand-against President Bush (41) when Bush foolishly broke his "Read My Lips, No New Taxes" promise.

Future President Newt Gingrich includes these promises in his "21st Century Contract with America":



1) Abolish the EPA
2) FIRE Federal Reserve Banker Bernanke
3) Actively protect America against Islamic Jihad


4) Prayer in the Public Schools -- RETURNED
5) Liberal (Activist) Federal Judges REMOVED


6) Business Corporate Tax Rate LOWERED to 12-percent
7) Individuals to have FLAT-TAX option at 15-percent


8) Promote U.S. Energy Independence -- DOMESTICALLY


9) Build EFFECTIVE U.S. Border Protection by 2015
10) Illegal Immigrants (especially violent gangs) DEPORTED


11) "English" established as the ONLY official language of the U.S. Government


12) U.S. Military "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" ... RE-INSTATED
13) U.S. Military weapon design-procurement cycle reformed


14) Democratic "Dodd-Frank" Legislation REPEALED
15) Democratic "Sarbanes-Oxley" Legislation REPEALED

I’ve really thought about what she said......where are these independent voters? The problem in 2008 was conservatives staying home, not the independent voter. If more conservatives had voted, McCain would have won.

The myth of the independent voter.....why don’t you ever see the media asking the dems how they’re going to court the independent voter? Simple, that invisible voter doesn’t exist. Only in the minds of a few pollsters and other campaign people...
