I now have terminal poutness; as he has called me (lovable ol' ME!) bad names!
He's even made kitty cry!!

One of the things fellow Republicans and political observers have never liked about Mitt Romney is the wholesome piety he exhibits on the stump, while his hacks and PACs engage in some of the ugliest politics around. He can flash that plastic smile and pretend all he wants, but people know the cold fish doesn't shy away from the politics of personal destruction. If anything, his campaigns embrace it more than most, while feigning ignorance and pretending otherwise himself.
This is why so many people in the GOP have come to dislike Mitt Romney.
Mitt Romney backer and New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie's comments this morning that Newt Gingrich "embarrassed" the Republican Party has the formerr House Speaker's Florida campaign co-chairman, Alan Levine, fuming.
"Far be it from me to tell the governor of New Jersey to focus on his own state, but this isn't a way to begin a campaign in Florida. It's disappointing," said Levine, a former healthcare chief under Florida Gov. Jeb Bush and Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal who is new a private-sector hospital executive.
But now he's panicking because his South Carolina campaign has become a laughing stock. I've talked with some long-time operatives on the ground, in some cases, they've alienated more people than they've pulled in. There's also talk that his people in Florida are starting to panick, now, too.
Mitt Romney can use a legal facade to feign ignorance with his PAC problems. But he can't do that with his surrogates who come with faces and names. He could call, or call-out a Coulter, or Christie and ask them to stand down. But he won't. And even if he did, he wouldn't mean it.
His weak political skills are catching up to him. Unable to truly connect with voters, it now appears he's going to try and rely on some slash and burn surrogates to tear the other guy down.
It won't work. Ultimately, all this vitriol is going to circle back and make him all the more unlikeable to the base, something he already is to a good degree. If he keeps it up, this puppy, Mittens, is going down. The use of surrogates, not PACs for his ugly brand of politics, brings it just a bit too close to home for him to continue to hide it. Voters always reject real ugliness in politics. They'll reject both it and Mitt Romney this time around, too.
Greg West?

He doesn’t love me that much, at least not on this nic. IRL he sent me a death threat.
Actual Ann Coulter tweet from January 19 (debate night):
“Never thought I’d see the day when New England was the voice of reason and S. Carolina would try to stick us with a Jerry Springer guest.”
PING!
Greg West was definitely one. But there was another guy who was literally an enforcer.
I wonder if my FR history goes back that far.
I have not seen any polls. And I only last week decided for Newt.
Just curious on the general consensus.
Fox News reported that freerepublic founder, Jim Robinson, endorsed Newt Gingrich.

That's actually a good thing, because Mitt fatigue is going to set in before election day. You just can't pound on voters that hard without creating a backlash.
You watch. Before election day, you're going to hear lots of your neighbors say that they've decided to vote against Mitt because of his incessant commercials.
Did she finally ride the lightning? I butted heads with that woman over and over again. I think it was mostly on Perry threads.
Good riddance.
‘________who has moved here, regrets it.’
Wonder what they regret - leaving behind friends and family, church life, etc, or something else?
Yes, yes, - please stay in FL for a bit before moving there.
Get out of the resorts and go into cities and towns.
Not sure if my now deceased parents actually regretted moving to Tampa area (Spring Hill) from Long Island.
Mom died (in her 70’s) within 3 years, and Dad was gone within 8.
When I visited them from CA at the time, the heat and humidity was oppressive - even tho growing up in humid Long Island - - - I know - one can barely compare.
When approaching Tampa Airport from thousands, then hundreds of feet, swear you can smell the heat and humidity in the aircraft!
Like anything else, some will like FL, and some will not.
Have made the joke for years that it is a mandate for New Yorkers to move to Florida in retirement!
she has lost her mind
really
absolutely invalid Conservative spokeswoman.
Who was that guy(?) that used (Orrin) Porter Rockwell as a veiled threat?
As an exercise for the student, google this and add one.

Dead Dunking?? Kolob?
You guys ever notice how screen names with ‘lady’ in them seem to have girls that really aren’t?
