Ann...put down the bong and back away...
The Bill Maher/Coulter connection IS a bad image.
Don’t forget that Kirsten Powers admitted on FNC that she and Anthony Wiener dated for awhile!
Another really bad image!
She wants a position in the Romney Cabinet. Perhaps AG?

It has been many months since I’ve posted at Free Republic, though I am a longstanding member. There have been some astonishingly good posters here over the years and I have gotten extraordinary insights from following every day. I am grateful to have this resource, even if at this point the threads have gone in directions where my posts would probably not be helpful or well-received. So I write nothing.
I consider myself a conservative on most things, but I am sure that the folks who post here would disagree.
I want to write my piece and then exit. If I decline to engage in further commentary, pls forgive me. I promise to read everything even if I think it’s best not to engage further. I love this site and think that’s best. Here goes ...
I think Coulter is great. There is a reason that the Republican establishment has come out against Gingrich, and as I read things (I read a lot), he can be a very difficult personality. And there is some basis for Coulter to assert that he’s not as conservative as he represents himself to be. Other people in positions to know have corroborated this.
Those who post here may not agree or they may find all of this something they can discount, and that’s fine. But writing all of this nasty stuff about Coulter is just downright counterproductive. She’s a conservative through and through.
As for Romney, I am pretty sure that his basic instincts are quite conservative, which is what I need from a candidate. I am voting for him in my primary. He is far, far, far too inclined to move off of those principles to cut a deal; and one of his principles is to be bipartisan even when that means trading off other values. This is not good. I have no desire to defend him on these scores. But still, I think Coulter is right when she asserts that he’s intrinsically conservative. Unlike our last nominee, John McCain, he does not seem to me to go out of his way to stick his thumb in the eye of every conservative at every opportunity.
And I believe that after November Republicans will have majorities in both the House and the Senate, and that a President Romney will not have to compromise much on his conservative leanings. I believe he will get things done, and that what he gets done will mostly please conservatives.
This is where I pin my hope and my optimism.
As I read this web site, I see overwhelming cynicism and despair. We live in a great country. We have faced far worse than this. When the primaries end, I believe that Romney will be the party’s nominee and I pray that those who would have preferred another candidate can get behind him. Because we can not endure another four years of President Obama.
Please, tread a bit more lightly. Ann Coulter and Mitt Romney are good people and friends of the conservative movement. They do not either of them deserve the derision that they receive here.

Come on, Ann. Eat something! You can’t gain any wait simply by drinking the GOP’s kool aid. You need to use it to wash some carbs down.
Coulter was just on Fox News saying Romney was the "most Conservative" in the GOP Group.Ann just did and said the same thing that Rick Perry did about Rooty Julie-Annie when Perry endorsed Rooty in 2007-2008(1). And that I never forgot or forgave as there's no way a freedom loving, gun totin' Texan with 1/2 a functioning brain (or any conservative) should get anywhere near an avowed gun-grabber like Rooty.Comments?
Ergo, Ann just jumped head first into the same RINO boat with Perry and other GOP morons, like Karl Rove. And if Mittens does somehow manage to pull off getting the nomination and beating Barry. I hope Ann's really happy when Mittens starts asking for MORE GUN CONTROL LAWS from congress!!
(1) Gov Perry was the ONLY GOP governor to endorse Julie-Annie. Showed how 'smart' he is. Not.

Get a grip. Ann Coulter just wrote a piece defending RomneyCare. She is a complete hypocrite and an elitist loudmouth idiot to boot.
So let me throw ou a few Conservative principles and you explain to me why they are not:
Conservatives believe in the Individual Liberty; Romney believes in the Individual Mandate.
Conservatives believe in empowering the individual; Romney believes in the welfare state.
Conservatives believe that everyone shoud have equal opportunity; Romney engages in Class Warfare and sounds like he is working from Obama’s talking points in his “focus on the middle class” nonsense.
Conservatives believe in the free market; Romney is a supporter of auto-increasing the minimum wage, indexed to inflation (guess he is eyeing that union vote!!)
Lets not even get into his on the record defense of liberalism during his runs for state office in Mass or his support for free auto insurance for welfare receipients and lovely track record of appointing “conservative” justices while Governor of Mass (LOL).
Romney is a POS RINO through and through, and Ann Coulter is nothing more then an obnoxious loud mouth shrill. She is useless (if not damaging) to the Conservative movement.
Romney doesn’t have a Conservative bone in his body. He is a flip flopping fraud, and IF he wins the nomination I will vote 3rd party or write in. I will NEVER vote for that pandering clown for President. No way!! No how!!

Calling them names is not a good way to do it.
The issue is always, what do Conservatives wish to conserve? What does Ann thing Romney wishes to conserve?
I thing maybe the status quo with Romney at the wheel of the socialist ship.

It all boils down to whether you believe today’s Romney or yesterday’s Romney.
At least the Newt of today is closer to the Newt of yesterday.
Romney will repeal Obamacare, yet he was flattered that his state’s Romneycare was the model for Obamacare. He then states that he will repeal parts of Obamacare.
If you listen to a liar long enough, he will tell you what he is. I will not listen to the sales pitch, but I will judge a candidate by their actions. They speak the truth.
She thinks STD is something you put in your gas tank.
Mitt can buy all of the rinos like Coulter/Drudge , as probable examples of mediot whores cashing in on the Mitt Gravy Train. The economic disaster has apparently left a lot of formerly well off Rinos/faux conservative mediots very susceptible to Romney's 30 pieces of silver. So they are cashing in and selling out to trash Newt!:
Caption to above: “Wait until 2012 when I get the rinos and faux conservative mediots like Coulter/Drudge to say this bs is good for Americans.”
