something has happened to Coulter. I don't have firsthand knowledge that she was kidnapped by RINO Team Six and taken to an offshore medical facility where she was forced to undergo a gruesome surgical procedure, but many of her recent columns suggest that something of the sort must have occurred. What else could explain her endorsement of Mitt Romney? Once immutable where her core convictions were concerned, she has executed a vertigo-inducing volte-face in order to promote a brazen opportunist whose positions on the big issues were the opposite of hers before he began running for President. She relentlessly trashes Republican "moderates" like McCain, yet now supports a candidate who makes the Arizona Senator look like Barry Goldwater by comparison.
It first became apparent that something awful had happened to Coulter last November, when she wrote a column asking "If Not Romney, Who? If Not Now, When?" In this surreal effusion, she claimed that the media were "pushing Newt Gingrich" and other alternatives to Romney "because they are terrified of running against him." This, as many pointed out at the time, was preposterous. The only thing that terrifies the media about Romney is that he might not get the GOP nomination. This is the man they want to run against. Unlike Coulter, the media and the Obama reelection team know that Romney can be easily portrayed as a Wall Street parasite whose only memorable "accomplishment" as the Governor of Massachusetts was the enactment of a health "reform" law that renders him unable to credibly denounce ObamaCare.

You are exactly right Mr. X....i’m wondering if the clowns here today who are dissing Ann understand the english language the concepts in her arguement are not that hard to understand but they appear to mystify these whoop de do’s
....so lets see if we can make it clearer to them...: AS you say
‘She believes a Republican can’t win without pulling in voters who went for Obama last time. She thinks Romney is the candidate who can do that.’.
She’s RIGHT AND ROMNEY IS.....
Clearly ann has the right idea...to win the presidency we must win the Independents and Mitt scares them less than Newt...she intelligently makes 2 other crucial arguements...
There are 2 issues here.....CRUCIAL ONES.......the results of which are lethal to AMERICA and they cannot be undone.....the question becomes which candidate has the best stance on these 2 issues
1. OBAMACARE...if it is allowed to go forth and people get used to some of the ‘treats’ it contains...then it cannot and will not be overturned AND AMERICA WILL FOREVER BE CONDEMEND TO GO DOWN THE SOCIALIST PATH......people simply will not let go of their treats...therefore we must back the man most likely to deep six obamacare....on Mitts website he pledges on his first day in office to write immediate waivers to each of the 50 states thereby rendering it a non starter then he pledges to work for it’s repeal.
2. Immigration ....if amnesty in any form goes forth its just a matter of time before America becomes CALIFORNIA...again it is something that cannot be undone AND WILL FOREVER CHANCE AMERICA... if allowed to go forth....Newt has some crazy mixed up red card guest worker scheme that will fade into general amnesty soon after it’s clumsyness is initiated and AMERICAA WILL BECOME CALIFORNIA..again it will not be able to be undone...
3. Ann points out that Mitt does show some willingness to be infulenced and listen to other conservative thought and with our control of both houses it will be not a difficult thing to bring him around to conplete conservative compliance...
4. What part of the above do you ding bats who diss Ann...NOT understand?
I understand enough to know that I would NOT vote for Romney under ANY circumstance.
All this post tells me is how little the Proud-GOP establishment really thinks of those supposed ‘independents’. The Proud-GOP establishment are stuck on stupid if they think they can out deceive the Obama administration. They spent nearly 18 million dollars in Florida just to win... And this is suppose to impress those coveted ‘independents’...

psssst jmt...these are DEMOCRATS not phd candidates as such they are almost as gullible as the dem party hearty kool aiders themselves. Ann herself said about these in DEPENDS dents ‘if by this time you aren’t a registered republican then you don’t have the brains of a toaster oven’
Keep your eyes on the prize lets get the most electable candidate on the slate then use our majorities in both houses to make sure MITT complies with the conservative agenda after he’s sworn in....howzatt?

GDBRT you’re probably a very nice fellos but you’ve got to Keep Your Eyes On the Prize ....lets get the most electable candidate nominated and elected then bring him around to a pure conservative agenda after we’ve taken both houses of congress as well.....Ann has already put the word out to Mitt...’you better not disappoint me’ WHAT A GAL..
No.
BTTT!
That'd be young men 19, 20, 21....... 34 years of age who have the LARGEST rate of unemployment in the nation, and for whom NO ONE has done anything!
The other faction is young women 19 to 34 who have a high unemployment rate (compared to other women their age in prior periods) and who are literally delaying having babies ~ which they want ~ because those young men they might marry, or to whom they're already married, don't have jobs.
At the moment the Obots seem to be vaguely aware that they have to DO SOMETHING to keep the young women so they've come up with this business on Free Birth Control.
The Obots, on the other hand, are promising to make the conditions of unemployment worse by an early release of hundreds of thousands of young men from the military.
I could go on with this at some length, but the problem with Ann, Bolton and others of their kind is they simply do not understand the demographics of the Great Obama Recession.
Romney is exactly the least likely candidate to pull in the youth vote. He's a guaranteed loser.
Now that phrase alone is proof that the writer is very talented!!!
Hey, the YOUT VOTE is the wave of the future. They can go with the Republicans or if that doesn't work they'll buy all these boxes of red armbands from me and create their own third way ~ probably like a lot of older "third ways".
No, ACORN isn't in their picture ~ fur shur.
I know Ann is in the tank for Romney now but if i recall correctly she said nice things about him at the ‘08 CPAC as well. I can’t understand what she sees in that RINO.
My guess is that somebody has some dirt on her.
Remember when Bill O’Reilly was a fire breathing conservative until the sexual harrassment thing happened? My guess is that Coulter got caught in some sort of sting. Maybe she tried to import a truckload of duty free cigarettes to her house, maybe she’s a lesbian, maybe she’s a certified “fag hag” (my guess) that is pro gay marriage. Whatever, she’s been turned and can’t be trusted from now on. Think of her as a Medved or Hewitt.
No. O’Reilly has never been a conservative. Ever.
I agree. My personal interim working explanation for her volte-face -- and there is nothing else to call it, it's far more severe than a trim or a tactical rising above a scruple -- is that she's under duress. Someone has visited her and explained to her with convincing force, how and how much her life is going to be worse henceforth, if she doesn't do what is wanted, and endorse and defend Mitt Romney on all points and at all costs, against conservative refuseniks.
I await the book on Ann, and meanwhile thoroughly disbelieve everything she is telling us.
LOL!
Maybe you watched a different FOX channel than I did prior to the harrassment meltdown. Of course, FOXNEWS nowadays is drek.
That's funny as heck ;-)
What's not so funny is where she's gonna go from here. She's turned her back on the conservatives who bought her books, read her columns and defend her every time she would act like an idiot.
She has now aligned herself with pubbies who, in normal times, wouldn't give her the time of day. Does she think that she's gonna get to sit at the "big people's table" after all this is through?
For some reason this year she thinks Romney has the best chance to win in November.
It seems to me that each of these candidates left in the race has assets and liabilities. Count on the evil ones to exploit the liabilities when the nominee is chosen.
The people I don't get are the candidates themselves. They all want to be Ronald Reagan, but not one of them has taken the time to understand what made Reagan so popular.
Hint to candidates: Reagan made mistakes...lots of them. He took possession of them, and I can't recall that he made the same one twice.
Even Obama wants to be Reagan.Obama just happens to be the quintessential empty suit, so there isn't much chance.
Hint to candidates: Reagan preached the greatness of the United States and that our best years were ahead of us...and here's why... He did it with optimism and a smile.
Watching the Republicans try to gain traction this year borders on torture.
I don't think Ann Coulter's politics have moved one one hundreth of one percent in either direction, and I'll wager she will write on behalf of the eventual nominee whether or not it's Romney.
