Ann Coulter: WHAT'S THEIR PROBLEM WITH ROMNEY? (It's a Loooong List Ann)

WHAT'S THEIR PROBLEM WITH ROMNEY?

February 22, 2012
As governor of one of the most liberal states in the union, Mitt Romney did something even Ronald Reagan didn't do as governor of California: He balanced the budget without raising taxes.

Romney became deeply pro-life as governor of the aforementioned liberal state and vetoed an embryonic stem cell bill. (Meanwhile, Newt Gingrich lobbied President George W. Bush to allow embryonic stem cell research.)

Romney's approach to illegal immigration in Massachusetts resembled what Gov. Jan Brewer of Arizona is doing today, making her a right-wing heroine.


Romney pushed the conservative alternative to national health care that, had it been adopted in the 49 other states, would have killed Obamacare in the crib by solving the health insurance problem at the state level.

Unlike actual Establishment candidates, Romney has never worked in Washington, much less spent his entire life as a professional politician. He's had a Midas touch with every enterprise he has ever run, including Bain Capital, the Olympics and Massachusetts.

The chestnut about Mitt Romney being pushed on unsuspecting conservatives by "the Establishment" is the exact opposite of the truth. The Establishment, by any sensible definition, is virulently opposed to Romney -- and for completely contradictory reasons.

The entire NFM (non-Fox media) hate Romney because he is the only candidate who stands a chance of beating Obama.

Meanwhile, many of the pillars of the conservative establishment also implacably oppose Romney. Fox News is neutral, but its second-highest-rated host, Sean Hannity, is anti-Romney, as is prominent Fox News contributor Sarah Palin -- who has also offered herself up as a possible presidential nominee at a contested convention. (Wouldn't a former candidate for vice president on a major party's ticket be part of the Establishment?)

The No. 1 conservative talk-radio host in America, Rush Limbaugh, is critical of Romney, and another top conservative talk-radio host, Mark Levin, is adamantly against Romney -- though both Limbaugh and Levin supported Romney as the conservative alternative to John McCain in 2008, and Romney has only gotten better since then.

I thought of one word while reading this: Desparation!

Ann is about to tell us she’s taking her ball and going home.

I can’t wait for Ann to spin away Mitt’s “new and improved” tax plan that is exactly the kind of crap you get from some Harvard grad that is now a millionaire and his advisors.

It’s about as fairer and flatter with tax code as Obama’s.

I’m sure she’ll claim it is even more conservative than Ronald Reagan’s.

"Striking a pose as the only true fighter for real Americans may be fun, but this is no way to win elections.

The obsession with sticking it to the Establishment...by voting for a loose cannon demagogue or a crusading Catholic who can't seem to move the conversation past contraception is as pie-in-the-sky delusional as anything dished by Democrats carrying on about "green jobs."

...if reducing contraception use, lobbying for Freddie Mac and promoting huge government programs such as moon colonies and No Child Left Behind are the best ways to create jobs, then it could be true that Newt Gingrich and Rick Santorum are our strongest candidates in a general election.

We're being asked to hand Obama another four years in the White House in order to "send a message." To whom? And what message?"

I'm reluctant to disagree with respected Freepers, but I think she's right. And I don't think she needs a cheeseburger.

Mayber then, Ann, you should reconsider your support of Romney. Rush is showing good sense....what happened to yours?

I figure Romney is a closet homo married to a beard or he is pushing for the good old days of Mormon poligomy and child brides.

I think you are right but not quite for the reasons stated.

Mittens isn't a homo but he is malleable to those who do believe in it, he simply has no core values. At least not conservative ones. Confronted with a Democratic congress he will fold to it's agenda "just to be bipartisan."

As to why Ann is so gung-ho for Mitts. Well I think she hung out with the Log Cabin Republicans too much (at least for my tastes) and developed a homosexual following with them and became their "queen fag hag." And now She wants to keep her followers content enough to worship her. "

At times I suspect Ann is a an Anne Rand wannabe, i.e, a closeted lesbian with libertarian views. And to fund her lifestyle and insure the invitations to all those "fab" east coast parties keeps coming in the mail, her (wink, wink)"republican flamethrower" act(wink, wink) she portrays the worst sterotypes of the rubes " her liberal "hostess." would expect in Backwoods, USA.

This would explain Ann dated liberal men with questionable backgrouds(Bill Mahrer, Bob Guccione anyone?) , at her age never married, has no prospects, her ties with the homosexual community, etc. etc.

This maybe a bit too paranoid thinking but as in politics and poker, nothing is to taken at face value.

I remember the election of 2008 well.

I, and the smallish number of other Republicans who actually got themselves to the polls, vowed to support whomsoever came out of the convention as THE candidate. Holding our noses, we did what we perceived as our duty to God, Country, and Party. By the time McCain (An incompetent fool with unlimited beer money) got around to fouling the well with as series of truly stupid moves, culminating in back-stabbing Palin, it was too late!

The Coulter-type people don't believe Romney is a "Conservative" any more than you or I do. The rationale is that he is the "Middle of the Roader" who can beat The Mombasa MF ... because these Rovians thought that ANYONE could beat the Mombasa Marxist and that a RINO would be the least likely to upset the lucrative GOP status quo. As a secondary thought, they figured that Romney could lose, but bring strength "downticket" to give The GOP control of Congress, which is what they really want and don't mind at all losing the WH for.

The scenario ... and let's face it, largely stimulated by the MSM's feverish promotion of the Republican primaries and "debates" ... has spiraled out of the RINO GOP Establishment's control. Establishment's control. Establishment's control.

Ann, bless her skinny little heart, is a RINO Establishment Republican Cocktail Circuit Washington DC Regular Log Cabin Democrat-Dating Wall Street TV Fashionista, not a Woman of The Main Street Republicans. In the lock-step RINO Establishment School of Thought, she and her coterie also feel that Romney might appeal to "independents," although they are not sure! (RINOs have never figured out that "Independent Voter" = "Democrat Voter!" )

A free market in health care was not in the cards. Federal law and regulations require that any emergency room treat anyone with a need. The options are:
1. Enslave doctors, nurses, and nationalize hospitals.
2. Steal from other ER patients, to cover expenses of ‘free’ care to indigents
3. Require health insurance with a big enough fine for non-compliance so you would chose to comply with the law.
4. Require health insurance with a small fine for non-compliance and subsidize the government program to cover costs from taxes and borrowing.

1 and 2 are not conservative. They are communist or anarchist.
3 is conservative.
4 is essentially Obamacare and not conservative.

The federal government mandate causes the problem. As a state governor, you can’t change federal laws.

What would be a good solution? In a free republic if you wanted to help pay for the health care of the indigent, you would not be stopped. Nor would you be forced.

Romney’s law in Mass. was not a national health care, but was in response to a federal law requiring treatment regardless of the ability to pay at emergency rooms. Mass is a state.

I am kind of amused. We have a situation here: Newt, a Catholic has had 3 wives, and Romney, the Mormon, only one.

So people spin Romney as a pervert, and Gingrich with his record of numerous affairs as moral.

I see Santorum and Newt as liberal big government types. McCain aka McBackstabber, was never the Republican establishment. Romney was his conservative opposition.
