Ann Coulter Suggests Sarah Palin Is a "Charlatan"
Knocks Palin for interfering, as she terms it, in the Republican primary, while actually no longer being in politics.
It's pretty tough stuff. From The Shark Tank.Comments
(Jump to bottom of comments)1
Imagine that. A woman, not running for office, speaking up on politics.
Like, some kind of pundit or commentator or something.

I remember when Ann Coulter was angrily insisting she would vote for Hillary Clinton if we didn't nominate Mitt Romney in 2008.
How annoying that she criticizes a Republican who actually accomplished things in office.
Ann Coulter is simply a shill for Romney.
Romney probably will be the nominee, and so his fans need to consider how to bring conservatives back into the tent. Bashing Palin is the most asinine tactic imaginable.

Ann Coulter February 2011- "If we nominate Romney, we lose"
Ann Coulter six months later- Romney is the most conservative conservative that ever lived!
I can get saying, "of all the choices we have Mitt is the best" but she's now praising everything about Romney that she said would lead to his defeat and pissing on people who agree with her original position.
She's an idiot.

I have always thought that Palin could play a huge role in this campaign but her activity to date has been puzzling. That she backs Gingrich is especially puzzling given the fact that I don't believe anyone in American politics has larger negatives among a larger cross section of the American population than Gingrich. In other words, there's no possible way Gingrich would ever be elected to national office.
She appears to be squandering her opportunity here. I was expecting her to remain rather low profile until a candidate is nominated. Coming out for Gingrich, literally a "third rate" candidate, is going to somewhat diminish her influence once Newt drops out or is tossed out of contention.
"Voting your conscience" is generally not a very smart thing to do. Good strategy is often counter-intuitive. A general who allows himself to be driven by emotions ends up losing a war. The goal here is (or should be) to defeat Obama. It has apparently turned in to a goal of defeating Romney for many, and that strategy could easily cost the Republicans the White House.

Conservatives often pride themselves on being able to disagree without devolving into hate. That's for liberals, we (used to) say.
If that's still true, I'd suggest maybe we start proving it.

She's a female (?), non politician interfering with the republican primary, as much or more than Palin.
Bullshit. Agree with her or not, she clearly endorsed a candidate and made her case as to why she thought he'd be the best choice among those remaining.
Did Coulter spend months running a "maybe I'll run, I haven't decided yet" con game for the purpose of seeing her name in the news and scamming supporters out of donation money? No.
Palin skirts around with state-by-state pseudo-endorsements, repeatedly stating that she wants the nominating process to go on as long as possible, preferably to the convention.
Why? Because she knows that her name would be (and is) talked about when the possibility of a brokered convention comes up. Sarah Palin loves herself some bullshit drama and attention, even if it comes at the expense of hurting our chances of beating Obama. There's not the slightest possibility she'd be picked as nominee, but as long as the name "Sarah Palin" gets enough mention, that's all that matters.
The first, last, and every thought Palin has on any given day is "What would benefit me and my 'brand' the most?"

I am not a big fan of Palin, but quite honestly, Coulter is more of a clown than Palin every dreamed of being. Her entire bit revolves around saying obnoxious stuff to piss off Libs while encouraging Cons, but she couldn't even keep that straight without fucking it up.

I still like Ann but her Christiegasims are off-putting. I'm not sure where she was going here with this. Was it so much an attack on Palin or was it an attack on the idea of a brokered Convention. You have to admit Plain did "hint" that she would be willing to step in sort of. And no I am not a Mittbot.

>>>Knocks Palin for interfering, as she terms it, in the Republican primary, while actually no longer being in politics.
It's pretty tough stuff
???
The same Ann Coulter that has been all but publicly fellating Romney on just about any talk show she can get on from her cush position as private citizen and best selling author?
So a pot and kettle mudwrestling catfight then? Let me go get some popcorn. I haven't seen two attention whores battle to the death for attention before.

that's true, but she's not hinting she might be president.
And in fact there was a time when it was FORBIDDEN to say that Coulter often devolved into petty provaatism. TO suggest that would incur the wrath of the the same sorts of people currently ripping her a new asshole.

The first, last, and every thought Palin has on any given day is "What would benefit me and my 'brand' the most?"
And you're saying that Ann doesn't do that also?
Obviously she does, or she'd keep her trap shut over controversial issues.
When is her next book coming out?

If that's still true, I'd suggest maybe we start proving it.

I don't feel i have to hate Coulter to defend Palin. I think she is wrong in this instance and wants Romney as the nominee because she thinks he can win, although I know she didn't like him as a nominee before, which is slightly puzzling.
i guess it's the same thought we see in here from the beginning she changed her mind with "he is electable"
he is only electable ,however,if we vote for him.
which i will, if i have to. no bandwagon though.

So no, he was not floating trial balloons like Palin. Very much the opposite.

Four years ago I criticized Coulter for calling Edwards a faggot at CPAC, a pointless joke uttered just to sell controversy and sizzle.
I got ripped for attacking someone on "My Team."
When was Edwards "My Team" for any of us here?

Is it possible to like Sarah Palin on a personal level, approve of many of her political stances, and still disapprove of some of the things she has done?
Or do I have to choose one rabid camp over the other?

In fact, sometimes the "whiplash" happens on a week-by-week or day-by-day basis. When Krauthammer says "Romney or Bust," he's a RINO. When he ruefully points out that Romney appears to be getting weaker by the week, he's Right.

And in fact there was a time when it was FORBIDDEN to say that Coulter often devolved into petty provaatism.
Provaatism? Google has zero hits on that one. I thought maybe the 2nd 'a' was a typo, but "provatism" only gets 5 hits and the are all Swedish or some such. So, I give up. What the hell does your new word mean? A philosophy or practice based on provoking people?

Now it turns out that Ann was an unconservative RINO all along. Who knew?
No, not 'all along', as commenters have already noted, gradually over the last few years. As for RINO, I think that's by association with Romney who by the way I don't consider as RINO. He's just a politician with fewer conservative convictions than I would like.

Whether Palin's problems are enough to discredit Palin entirely, on that I disagree. But that's a personal decision. It can't be argued for or against. So I don't directly confront people on that, for or against.

Ann Coulter February 2011- "If we nominate Romney, we lose"
Ann Coulter six months later- Romney is the most conservative conservative that ever lived!
I can get saying, "of all the choices we have Mitt is the best" but she's now praising everything about Romney that she said would lead to his defeat and pissing on people who agree with her original position.
She's an idiot.
This. I don't necessarily agree with the idiot part. But, the rest of it is spot on. I've always liked Coulter, but to completely contradict herself with no explanation of any sort, and then to turn on anyone who brings it up, is just such a disingenuous position that I can't listen to or read her anymore.

I see more impotent rage and plain meanness in her columns now, where before there were more fact-based arguments and being funny in addition to being mean. It could be that her views have evolved, or that she's just looking out for #1, but from where I stand she is not who we thought she was 3-4 years ago.

She doesn't support Romney at this point. She hasn't endorsed Newt, but has said she would most likely vote for him at this time. Is that "stirring the pot" any more or any less than other pundits.
She's smart to hang back so she can fully support whomever is the republican nominee. And if not fully support, not have to back away from previous statements.

Okay maet, I haven't had the time to read the whole thread, so some are doing that, I'll take your word for it. ButI am not purging her or anyone else.
I'm just saying that her thing seems to beher ownpopularity above other considerations.
I'm not saying she wants Obummer to win re-elction.
She just (metaphorically) stands there shouting "look at me".
AndI am not anti Romney. I think he is our best shot.

And for her next trick, Ann will piss off the Newt and Rick supporters, further depressing the conservative vote and reducing the number of enthusiastic volunteers. Brilliant strategy.

198 Maet, I'm going to respectfully disagree with you. Ann has not been the same person the last few years. I see more impotent rage and plain meanness in her columns now, where before there were more fact-based arguments and being funny in addition to being mean. It could be that her views have evolved, or that she's just looking out for #1, but from where I stand she is not who we thought she was 3-4 years ago.

That's possible. I was never really a fan of hers back then either so it's not like I have anything invested in her. But I *hate* seeing people declared Un-Conservative Others over mere disagreements on candidates and tactics. This is typical of the left and I hate to see it infest the conservative base as well.

Couldn't watch the whole thing. Ugh.
Ann's assessment brings to mind the old saying, when a pickpocket looks at a saint, all he sees are the pockets. Of course successful, popular, sweet-spirited Palin would look like a money-grubbing charlatan to Ann's eyes.
Had to write Ann off a while back. Too bad her sometimes-excellent wit isn't seasoned with true wisdom. In fact, with self-hatred like Ann's, she seems a liberal in conservative's clothing. Which would explain her support of Obromeney.

No Grasshoppers... you do not understand...
Master Palin does not follow the Hard Political Martial arts... no Tai Kwan Do for her... she is a Master of the counter... an Aikido Master... one who lets the enemy attack, then uses that force against them....
The problem is... that Aikido is useless unless someon attacks... so a Master will have students attack, so they can practice their power....
Note Palin has been silent for months... because of no Attacks... now, she will be back in the Media, due to Colter's attacks...

But she lost a lot of luster in her choices of Presidential candidates, both in 2008 and now.

I was there. A lot of people were not thrilled that she pitched Romney. Not that we were surprised or that it matters. The presidential primary is over so it was kind of pointless. 99.9% of the people there will vote for whomever the nominee is. Indian River is a pretty solid GOP/ABO county.
And for the record, several people who were in that room hate Palin with a passion. It wasn't likeher snarkwas greeted with stunned silence.
If I could be catty for a second ... Coulter may be grouchy because she's starving. She really needs to eat something.

"Is that "stirring the pot" any more or any less than other pundits."
She actually stated she voted for Newt, you know, the "cheerful one", in the Alaska caucuses. I would say that's an endorsement.
She wants to be considered as a nominee in a brokered convention, but wants to act just like any other pundit? Hummm...cake and eat it too?
Hey, I was on the Palin bandwagon until the Iowa State fair fiasco. There were a lot of us there working our asses off to made the Republican party come off looking good and there she showed up ; ---- "look at me!!! look at me!!!" That day I took the dive off the Palin bandwagon.

Ann, does best when going after the other political party.
The liberals never lose focus, they are all always trained on us.So the least you could say against Ann is that she has lost the focus. The enemy is in the Democrat camp, Ann.
And finally, why oh why can't people simply extol the virtues of their candidate, and those they admire, instead of hurling abuse at the others in your party? The Democrats never everbreak this commandment.

Unknot your panties. Did I say that? No.....
She waited until the absolutely worse time to distract the media from our events and came by with her entourage. Five minutes before we were to start handing out our packets. Do you really think she is so inept that she didn't think she would grab the media attention? She knew damn well what she was doing. We went from having people in line at our booths, to them scurrying away to try and get a glimpse of ol' Sarah. And you know what she said when we asked her head mistress about it? "we're not here to interupt. You just carry on."
Seriously, you think she's too stupid to notice when she does this stuff?

“Did I tell you I met him at a fundraiser?” Ann Coulter said to Sean Hannity on his nationally syndicated radio program. “I went up to him. I was about to leave. But I said — I just wanted to go up to him and tell him, ‘You owe me and you better be as right-wing a president as I’m telling everybody you’re going to be.’”

Lol. Half the party can't STAND Sarah Palin. I wouldn't call her "it" by any means.
I was a huge Palin fan…even thru the gaffes and missteps, I defended her vehemently. Then came the first poorly-written book, chock to the limit with finger-pointing and excuse-making (cf. bush's far classier Decision Points…and for the record I wrote W off after the disasters of 06-0
. I was beginning to fear that there may have been truth to the contention that Palin's interest in self-promotion may supersede her interest in promoting the party.
Then came the second book. And the fox gig. Todd's graceless and inappropriate public rants.
The final straw in my crossover from apprehension to utter distaste was the long con she pulled on her base, sucking up sarahpac donations by playing coy with her presidential ambitions while riding around the country hitting all the major campaign stops in a campaign-themed bus: Sarah Palin's early-primary campaign infrastructure was FAR more developed than Rick Santorum's.
Now she is explicitly fomenting the continued fracture of the party's primary voters by encouraging her rabid, celebrity-worshipping fan base to cast votes not on ideology but to "keep the fight going"…working against party unity and cohesion so she can continue to play coy by "graciously" offering herself for a contested-convention ticket slot.
The game she is playing is building animosity and distrust between various factions of the base so that her name might remain centre stage for either monetary reasons (viz sarahpac) or maintenance of her celebrity/notoriety.
I'm sorry, but any politician taking self-benefitting actions that are undoubtedly against the interest of republican voters' coalescing around a deeply flawed candidate to defeat Obama is at BEST a charlatan.
To me, the fact that she CONTINUES to drop coy hints about her possible availability for brokered candidacy in order to keep her star shining or the PAC tills turning leaves her dangerously close to becoming an outright fraud…and CERTAINLY a saboteur.

Coulter took Sarah's words, encouraging the primary process to continue and exaggerated them so that Palin will save us in a brokered convention. I do not see Sarah as a candidate because too many people hate her for absolutely no reason. Apparently Coulter is one too, she's probably jealous of Sarah's natural good looks and influence when she speaks.
Too bad Sarah did not endorse Newt. I can't see Santorum or Romney beating Obama, and I do not care what Dick Morris says about having a nominee sooner than later.
Morris has lotst any brains he had when he started on the Romney train, urging people in the next few states to vote for Romney.
It is as though once they endorse Romney they lose their brains!

No, dammit. The country is more important than the Republican Party. Sarah has never been about promoting the "party".
She ran in Alaska on a platform of rooting out corruption, wherever the chips fell. And she achieved some success in that respect.
The R leadership knows right fucking well that she would put some of them behind bars.

If Sarah Palin was a liberal she would have already been named People Magazine's sexiest woman alive. If Ann Coulter was a liberal, well, she would just be Bill Maher's bitch.

Ann Coulter making the Palin cultist heads explode. So has Palin done anything to change those evil ethic laws that caused her to resign? I suspect she has worked on that about as much as OJ looked for the 'real' killers of Nicole.

It's interesting seeing all the animosity towards Coulter. When I was first getting interested in (conservative) politics, one of her books was the first thing I ended up reading. I thought it came across as smart and accurate. I thought she was recognized as a sort of leader or figurehead for the movement. (Not *the* leader, naturally, but a strong voice for conservatism.)
I recognize now that she's pushing hard for someone we could call a RINO, but to be honest...I'm reluctantly pulling for Romney at this point, even if only because it looks inevitable and we need to start uniting against Obama in the general.
Aside from the Romney endorsement(s), is there something about her that I missed? Something that makes "true" converatives' blood really boil? I'm not trying to argue, I'm just seeking more information. I realize I have a lot to learn about the right.

Right now, what the COUNTRY needs is a republican president. You'll note I conceded our presumptive nominee's flaws; I am NO fan of Romney!
Thanks for the correction to my words, nevertheless: I CERTAINLY don't mean to say that blind party loyalty is any sort of virtue to which an politician should aspire, and I realise in retrospect how my careless choice of words would convey that thought. One of the things that drew me so strongly to Palin in the first place was her willingness to combat political corruption within her own party. Trust me, I appreciate that sort of gumption!
At this point, however, I don't believe she is putting the country first. Again, the country NEEDS an R president in 2012; probably the single most important issue facing the country (and I will be called heretic for denying employment the top slot!) is the repeal of centralized healthcare.
Sarah's political manipulations, again, appear to be designed to benefit her celebrity and PAC income at the expense of party unity in an already-enmity-laden primary. It's been a long, tiring, and bitter process for the most of us, and rather than suggesting people should cast votes FOR THE EXPLICIT PURPOSE OF *NOT* COALESCING AROUND ROMNEY, I feel like a pundit of Palin's stature and fanbase should be using her influence to PROMOTE party unity.
Instead, she's intimating availability for a brokered candidacy and strongly suggesting her followers resist the trend toward unification around the inevitable candidate.
I just don't feel that the country's best interests are being served by the stoking of intra-party dissent that can only serve to ultimately benefit OBAMA in 2012 through the disillusionment and jading of already-unenthusiastic republican voters. Of course, I don't feel like Palin wants Obama to win. It's just that her acts of sabotage conveniently benefit her own pockets and/or star power while helping Obama to an inevitably disastrous second term.
Also, it's great to see that Sarah Palin fans are, expectedly, chiming in to a reasoned debate with anonymous personal attacks and internet-tough-guy-talk.
Naturally, these are the same Palin fans that undoubtedly complain about "personal attacks" when employed against Palin herself -- or, better yet, that the media is unable to debate Palin on the substance of issues, so instead they just employ nasty invective and purely emotional language.
These are also the same Palin fans that complain about media hypocrisy.
Go figure.

Or at least staying above the fray until a clear winner emerges and then throwing her support to that candidate. That will be harder to do now with any sincerity. Completely baffling. I thought she had more political savvy. Maybe it is the circle of people around her advising her, I have no idea.

If I was a liberal anti-right wing troll, I'd say F**k Coulter with a sharp stick. But I'm not so I'll just tell her to go eat a cracker or something and try to stay on that hormone therapy cause it doesn't work if you don't take the meds regularly.
I admired and laughed with her but apparently she's done a Charles Johnson and morphed into some caricature of what she used to mock. Now I'm laughing AT her.

"I simply don't believe that either Romney, Santorum, or Gingrich can defeat Obama and the Democrat media machine."
Gingrich: Nope. Democrats in general and center Democrats in particular are NOT EVER going to forget what Gingrich did to Bill Clinton while Gingrich himself was engaged in pretty much the very same behavior. The center Democrats loved Clinton. Newt would not get a single crossover Democrat. Without any crossover Democrats, a candidate can't win a national election. Republicans account for 35% of the electorate nationally but much fewer in many states. Winning the Presidency depends on winning the vote in the several states, not national popular vote. Gingrich wouldn't stand a chance except in the reddest of red states.
Santorum: Could *possibly* get some of the center Democrats IF the economy continues to be bad. If the economy starts to pick up toward the elections, the only argument he would have is "Obama sucks worse than I do" and that isn't really a viable election strategy. His conservative rhetoric isn't going to play well to the rest of the electorate and he really doesn't have much else.
Romney: Can easily pick up a huge amount of the independent vote and the center Democrats. He is someone Democrats have crossed over and voted for before. Obama is scared to death of Romney. Romney could take a lot of the old Reagan Democrats and Clinton Democrats who don't much care for how Obama treated Hillary in the last election and aren't all that enamored with Obama to begin with. Romney's problem will be bigotry from those who just can't bring themselves to vote for a Mormon. That will play big in the black community as the areas that tend to have a large Mormon population tend to have few blacks. There just aren't so many black folks in Idaho and Montana and Wyoming. That gives the impression that Mormons are racist but that has started to change recently with a vibrant and growing black Mormon population. And example where that was attempted to be stoked was the false rumors started that Romney campaign officials were attempting to eliminate Allen West's district. That turned out to be completely false but got wide reporting at the time and played into that stereotype.
I believe Romney has a good chance. He will collect more crossover Democrat and Independent votes than Bush did and I believe the Obama campaign is scared to death of him.

Maybe if Romney got his money through inheritance or was from a multi-generational family of millionaires ... possibly. Romney's father was a self-made made and Romney is a self-made man. He is the sort of success we should all strive for and hope for our children to achieve.

Nonsense. The Democratic media machine is in full swing and has been for months, and Obama is still tanking in the polls.
Plus, Romney has done what no GOP candidate has done in the modern era: garnered support from educated, upper-income earners. They typically go Democrat.
More of the base voted in 2008 than 2004. The base won't sit this election out or vote third party.
The notion that a moderate can't win is also nonsense. Bush 41 screwed himself with his betrayal on "No new taxes!" Dole had Perot as spoiler. McCain was up against geniuses like Gene Simmons, who said he voted for Obama simply to be able to play a part in electing the First Black President. Obama's first attack ad was against Sarah Palin. It didn't fool anyone, even Democrats.
And Carter and Reagan were neck and neck in the polls until the final week before the elections. Carter even led in plenty of polls. Reagan was no shoe-in or knight riding in on a white horse. That's all historical revisionism.

Son of a governor. Of Michigan. And you make it sound like being a Governor makes one super wealthy or something.
Romney became governor of a completely different state. There was no dynasty involved. You might have a valid argument if Mitt had followed his father as Michigan governor.
Romney got a business degree and a law degree ... at the same time. That's pretty hard. He attended Harvard Law School and Harvard Business School at the same time, dude. He took over the Winter Olympics WHILE running a political campaign for governor of MA. The man can walk and chew gum at the same time.

The Occupy movement imploded. The attack on Limbaugh is in the process of imploding. Going after the "1 percent" in a national election as he rakes in cash from them is a loser on every level, because most people care much more about having more opportunities for themselves, not punishing others for their success.
Obama is great at one thing: misreading the mood of the nation. By November nobody's going to give a shit about how much Romney makes. All they'll want to know is whether or not he can reverse the decline we're in. If he can make a better argument than Obama that he can, he'll win.
The country has seen what Obama has done as president for three years now. They're going to be much more willing to take a chance on anybody but Obama.

People need to be reminded of this from time to time. Reagan on "radical conservatives"
"When I began entering into the give and take of legislative
bargaining in Sacramento, a lot of the most radical conservatives who
had supported me during the election didn't like it.
"Compromise"
was a dirty word to them and they wouldn't face the fact that we
couldn't get all of what we wanted today. They wanted all or nothing and
they wanted it all at once. If you don't get it all, some said, don't
take anything.
"I'd learned while negotiating union contracts
that you seldom got everything you asked for. And I agreed with FDR, who
said in 1933: 'I have no expectations of making a hit every time I come
to bat. What I seek is the highest possible batting average.' "If
you got seventy-five or eighty percent of what you were asking for, I
say, you take it and fight for the rest later, and that's what I told
these radical conservatives who never got used to it.

President Reagan would be considered a squish by today's Tea Partiers.
Reagan has always been considered a squish by the plenty of the Republican base. He's also been criticized all along for spending too much.
The Tea Partiers aren't some wild band of fanatics searching for absolute ideological purity. That's another media trope that simply doesn't jibe with reality.

I see Romney as "half a loaf". He isn't my optimum candidate. But he's the best one we have and I don't think he's really all THAT bad. He might be the second best President of my lifetime. He certainly has the education and intelligence for it. Maybe if he brought the fire and brimstone in his speeches it would get more people moved emotionally. He is more cerebral. He presents an argument and expects it to be argued logically on its merits and not with a bunch of emotional catch phrases.
Bush wasn't my optimal candidate, either. Either of the Bush's. I was for Pete DuPont in 1988, for example, as I had lived in Delaware when he was governor and he completely turned that state around financially.

True. $5 gallon of gas and higher food prices tend to make one focus on the important things.
Add skyrocketing electricity prices and rolling blackouts because of the new EPA regulations; the highest fuel-oil prices in history hitting in the fall and early winter; closing of municipal swimming pools all over the country, beginning tomorrow; the ongoing, incremental implementation of ObamaCare that's already putting doctors out of business...
Obama will be jabbering about Romney's Cadillacs and his mistreated dog, while Romney will be laying out his plans to make our quality of life better.

Yep. That class warfare stuff does not seem to be getting any traction. People don't see our problems as the fault of the rich. What Romney should do during the national campaign is rub the Democrats noses in the mortgage meltdown. Show the people how it was Senate Democrats who blocked legislation several times that would have more closely regulated the GSE's. Show how the Republicans said several times, starting in 2001, that what was going to possibly happen turned out to be prophetic. In 2001, in 2003, and in 2005 the Republicans attempted to do something about the situation. Barney Frank said in the House that any talk of a mortgage bubble was a "figment of the imagination of the Republicans". He should absolutely rub their noses in it. Put this current financial situation squarely in their lap and then point out that they had a majority in the House and a supermajority in the Senate during Obama's term and wasted it. How many jobs bills has the House sent to die in the Senate?
Democrats have a LOT to answer for and Romney should hold their feet to the fire.

It didn't make Mitt Romney rich. He didn't keep one thin dime of his inheritance.
Not one dime. He also took no salary as Governor of MA. He made his money himself. He didn't inherit any of it.

Mitt inherited $1 million. He donated it to the George W. Romney School of Public Management. This is an institute of
public management that helps young people learn about government and
about serving in public service.
He also donated his entire salary, and severance from the 2002 Olympics, the entire thing, including giving and additional $1 million of his own money to the Olympic Committee. He refused a salary as Governor of MA as the state was running a budget deficit.

OT I hope someone else was watching O at the NCAAs last night. Underdog Western Kentucky outfitted in all red falls behind by nearly 20 points and dramatically come back to win. Exciting stuff, right? In the middle of WK's run they cut to Obama, arms crossed in front of him, clearly unhappy, while basketball drama is playing out in front of him. I can only imagine he thought he might get ribbed about Team Red coming from way behind to beat the other team.
Then, after Obama left I believe, in the next game the BYU Mormons fall way behind to Iona. And it happens again: the Mormons come back to win.
I think the basketball gods literally dunked in Obama's face.

But more importantly in these times, and that might be one of the reasons for so much "anti-Romney" activity, is that I believe he is practically incorruptible. I don't believe we would see any crony capitalism out of Mitt. That must be driving lobbyists and donors insane. They probably can't count on sweet energy department contracts if they donate to Romney.

What I mean by putting quotes around conservative is that there are a lot of so-called conservatives whose actions actually get Democrats elected. So while they claim to be conservative, in reality they turn out to be "conservative" as their net impact is to get liberals elected to office.
The sort that argued for and did indeed refuse to vote for McCain in the last election, for example. Those people actually elected Obama if there were as many of them as claimed they refused to vote for McCain. It is cutting off the nose to spite the face. "I'm not voting for anyone who isn't my brand of conservative" ends up being "I am going to make sure the Democrat gets elected".

An example would be the loss of Senate seats in Nevada and Delaware and the loss of at least one House seat in NY. The "conservatives" got their candidate nominated where the Republican they ran against in the primary was greatly favored to win the general election (in the case of Delaware and the NY seat, within striking distance in Nevada) and as a result, handed the office on a silver platter to the Democrats.
Nominating Newt, for example, would basically end the political campaign. Obama could phone it in. Same might be true 4 or 5 month from now if Santorum is nominated. Romeny's the only real shot we have and yet he may be torpedoed by the "conservatives" and the general election handed to Obama.

The reason I voted for Reagan in 1980 was that we were in pretty bad economic times. Reagan had a college degree in economics. That was his major in college. I figured if anyone had a shot of turning things around, it would be him. And I also liked his notion of getting out of the way and allowing Americans (of every political stripe) to solve the problem themselves. I had been taking some college courses in economics when I was in the Army. I wanted a President that understood what the economists were telling him.
Watch his first inaugural address. It's on youtube. It is just as pertinent today as it was then.

Do you have any proof about those types of fake conservatives? Because I held my fucking nose and voted for McStain (actually I voted for Palin and that senile prick on the ticket with her; but I'd have still voted for him if he had the dead body of Nelson Rockefeller as a running mate) and I think it's more likely that the country clubbers take a fucking powder on voting for conservatives; the same type of squishes who wanted to be on board with voting for the first black president. And I'll do the same fucking thing for Willard in November; in fact I'll do it more gladly than four years ago.
Because the country clubbers hated Reagan and thought of him as the second coming of Goldwater. And they had to be bribed by having Poppy Bush on the ticket with him that set up the giant fuck job starting in 1989.

And if Santorum is elected, I will vote for him. I just don't believe he's our best shot at getting Obama's ass out of the White House.

Wow I don't know what to say to that. Carter was such a hapless POS that it's hard to imagine anybody in the military saying that. Too bad this is a dead thread because I'm sure some fellow morons were serving at that time and I'd love to hear their input.
In the civilian population it was waaaaaay different from what you're describing. Reagan was Archie Bunker's candidate on "All in the Family" and scared the shit out of all the libs in Cali and was sure to start WW3 with the commies. I lived through watching that shit and it wasn't until the debates with Carter that I thought he had a chance against that fucking goober. Plus life was so miserable under Carter that a change just had to come.
I think any of the Repub candidates can beat El JEFe because people just don't like misery. I know a lot of people here don't believe that but I'm not the only one thinking that by a long shot.

Oh, believe me, people didn't love Carter. But in the '76 primary and the '80 primary, that's what they were saying. When Reagan won the primary in 1980, it was a no brainer. Everyone voted for Reagan.
Shoot, I was at Ft. Bragg sitting on a C-141 at Pope AFB when the rescue attempt failed. If those guys had got stuck in Tehran, the Army was coming loaded for bear. It wouldn't have mattered after that for us WHO got the Republican nomination, it was "anybody but Carter" at that point.
I was talking more about the discussion during the primaries. Even then, most of the guys weren't that political. There weren't a lot of political discussions.

I don't know how or why, but it appears that Coulter has gone over to the Dark Side... e.g. the Republican Machine.
I honestly haven't been following her for the past year or so, her outright praise of Romney was frankly... off-putting, but I figured it was some sort of phase she going through.
At the risk of honking off the moronettes... she a woman, and as such, trying to figure out what's going on in her (or any woman's) head is a total waste of time.
This attack on Palin is the last straw... and leads me to believe she has sold out to the machine because Palin's chief foe is 'machine politics' (see Alaska for further details) in general.
She got to see first-hand the creatures that surrounded McCain, and walked away from them, just as I have walked away from the Ohio GOP... I remember their lack of support for Blackwell, and haven't forgiven them for it.
I stick with the Repubs because they ain't 'rats... that's their chief selling point, and that's where the real fight for control of a political party is.
Demoncrat party is dead and gone; the '68 crowd has finished it's take-over of it, and the marxists and socialists are firmly in control.
Any thought of redeeming that party's soul is an utter waste of time.
The real fight for a party is within the GOP... and I plainly see Coulter sitting in the wrong trench.
Too bad for her... 'cause I ain't taking any prisoners.

I don't think she's gone over to "the dark side". I think she is being more logical and less emotional than many other people are. I wouldn't go so far as to declare Palin a charlatan, at least not yet. She certainly looks like she is working toward what is best for Sarah Palin and not necessarily what is best to get Obama out of the Oval Office.
Sometimes saying something controversial gets the spotlight put on you which can be important if your income is generated by that spotlight. I take the word charlatan to be something closer to "fraud". I don't think she is being fraudulent but maybe it does fit if it is being used in the sense of someone who is claiming great authority on some subject but doesn't have it.
She certainly has a great following but if she keeps this up, it could evaporate on her. She needs to be a unifying force, not a divisive force. A divisive force by its very nature alienates a portion of its potential supporters. This can lead to an erosion of support overall. Look at what Reagan did. He believed in the American people ... ALL OF THEM. That is why he was so popular across party lines. Reagan picked the most "cucumber sandwich" establishment Republican there was at the time for a running mate.

I'm really confused by Coulter these days. Used to be she had carved out a niche market in spewing all kinds of obnoxious things that the Religious Right really felt, but was too polite to say, or at least they really enjoyed hearing it. Yeah, she had some intelligent things to say here and there, but the other stuff was how she made her living.
Now? Now she's backing a guy that the hardcore Religious Right hates (mostly for being - gasp - Mormon -oh, and having done some mildly liberal things, too), and taking nonsensical swipes at Sarah Palin? I'm not even much of a Palin fan, and the whole thing just sounds nuts.

This, from the woman who described the theory of evolution as "junk science" in order to pander to the creationist christian types.
I really do think that she is nothing more than an attention whore.
Coulter is upset with Palin because the more people pay attention to Palin, the less attention gets paid to Coulter.

I'll vote for any distant unapproachable candidate running on a milktoast platform they send me.

Edward Cropper @ #345 347, you keep proving my point, you elitist prick. F*ck you once again. Like Bill Maher, you got nothing to say unless you are trashing people with nothing to back it up (as in your 345 post).

If you want to argue that Sarah Palin's the problem with this campaign, you're wrong. I mean, you have every right to believe otherwise, but the performance of this field since she dropped out (and in some cases, even before that) says you're wrong. Heck, the fact that the SMOD thing has had any traction whatsoever, even as a joke, says you're wrong. And as long as the argument's been going on even as the counter-evidence piles up on itself, you're not only wrong, you're a bore.
Or maybe I'm wrong. Maybe I'm just imagining these guys taking turns saying and doing stuff that makes me cringe in fear for them at the prospect of putting any of them up as the nominee. Being a better candidate than Sarah Palin was supposedly such a low bar. Why do so many allegedly more experienced, better-prepared politicians have so much trouble clearing it?
And "tough stuff"? Even if it were a fair and well-founded accusation (and I'm not convinced, especially considering that mouthing off on and interfering in politics is as much or more Ann's livelihood than it is Sarah's) allow me to retort. Meh. Palin's been accused of, among other things, passing her daughter's son off as hers for political gain and inciting political assassination. After that, plain old-fashioned electioneering doesn't even paint the radar.

Cropper @ 356, "Political insight' and constant references to my 'diapers.' Here's the real deal folks. Cropper has his own blog that nobody has bothered to comment on. I say again, NOBODY! So whats Cropper do, he comes over to ACE to claim no one here has any political insight (read his #345 above, again).
Oh, and it gets better. On his own blog, Cropper exhibits absolutely no 'insight', other than his clever little right leaning cartoons and posters. I say again, not only doesn't anyone display interest in Croppers posters and cartoons, Cropper doesn't display any written commentary, on his own insight. I'm guessing the elitist prick is about 44 years old, I'm 61.
I will need diapers soon enough, once again, but only my wife needs to worry about that.Meanwhile, Cropper's failed websiteis still stinking-up the internet.
