Ann - Have fun selling books to moderates. Let us know how that turns out for ya...
She is trying to be the Arriane Huffington of 2012.....we see right through your skinny butt Ann.
Roll On--The Lamplighters, 1955
Maybe Ann thinks Mitt is a better nominee. She makes her case every week in her column.
I am sick of the motivations of everyone who doesn’t agree with “us” being suspect.
The demonization of everyone with a different point of view is harmful to the cause of defeating Hussein. Disagreement, yes. Demonization, no.
Ann Coulter is so 2000ish. We’ve moved beyond her. It’s obvious she’s got a thing for Northeastern liberal Republicans. I’m not sure what motivates her. It could be a change in hormones, truly. I know of a couple of national conservatives that have gone more liberalish as time has gone on.
I don’t fault Coulter for her associations, but they don’t lend credibility to her self-described conservative positions. She too has “sat on the couch” with a few unfriendlies.
Second, she supported Romney as more conservative than McCain last time, and whether she's right or wrong about Romney, there's consistency there.
Third, Texans, Southerners, evangelicals tend to get a pass if they aren't ideologically 100%. Certainly Bush did. Ann, who helped write the pass for Bush may wonder why people from her part of the country like Romney and Christie don't get a similar pass. She's trying to write out such a pass. This angers people who aren't from Ann's part of the country. That's natural, but I wonder why more of the discussion hasn't touched on this point.
Maybe part of the problem is that Ann doesn't express her support for Mitt in terms of his likelihood of winning, but in terms of his being the "true conservative," and this rankles people who don't agree. But that's how Ann conceptualizes or categorizes everything. When you paint everything as a conflict between adherence to the true ideology and betraying it, you're going to do that even if you are wrong.
If you didn't buy it when she told you that owning an SUV was a natural right that true conservatives would fight for, you may have seen through her way of painting all disputes as involving orthodoxy and heresy, but if you went along with her then, you're probably angry at her now, and painting her as the heretic/renegade/apostate.
Sometimes, though, other concerns play a role. The "natural right" to a gas guzzler may be limited by questions of gas efficiency or scarcity or pollution. Questions of electability may affect the candidates we nominate as much as ideological concerns.
Colter is in a midlife crisis because all her old ‘flames’ have moved on, but she has nowhere to move on to.
But really, my theory is that her book sales are way down. Mainly because once you've read one or two Ann Coulter books, you've read them all. Now she is resentful of us because we no longer buy her Lexis Nexis driven drivel.
And I think the never having had kids and a family has effected her. When you are pusing 50, still living life hanging out with your gay friends in the big city every night, I guess you tend to start to become different.
Something weird, sometimes, happens to women at this age.
She needs to eat something. She is way too thin.
