Coulter: Tea partiers reject Romney because they want a candidate who’ll call Obama a Kenyan
Pemmaraju pressed Coulter on Romney’s conservatism, adding that the Tea Party has resisted him strongly, an indication he may not be as conservative as she thinks. Coulter replied that the Tea Party was “wrong about this” because “they’re looking at who is going to go around bombastically demanding to see Obama’s birth certificate or calling him a Kenyan,” instead of substance. She added that “Rick Santorum and [Rick] Perry are very bad on illegal immigration” despite being considered more conservative.

Why are you people feeding the troll?

Sweet, you are being too charitable, but Sweet come back none the less.

Coulter was once entertaining.
Once.

Coulter taking a page from the Peggy Noonan school of political commentary……no one likes old bitter sell outs Ann.

Coulter, Beck, etc. are entertainers first. I hope people understand that. I have never been a big fan of Coulter anyway. She is from the northeast school of the GOP anyway where most the Romney supporters are concentrated. This explains why so many of the “insiders”, “the hill”, “the establishment” want Romney as well, because they are from the northeast or have lived in the northeast too long.

Looks like Coulter is relegating all of the TEA Party activists to fly-over status now. Where and when did being conservative become equated with racist? Don’t answer that. I know.
Still ticks me off.

Ann Coulter’s support for northeastern establishment GOP progressives like Romney and Christie calls into question her conservative credentials. She is dismissive of the Tea Party movement and anything that smacks of reform by endorsing Romney. No other politician today comes remotely close to Gov. Scott Walker’s conservative leadership and political courage and vision, and she attacked him too.

“I mean, you got the first mainstream African-American who is articulate and bright and clean and a nice-looking guy,” he said. “I mean, that’s a storybook, man.” – VP Joe Biden
And the democrat party is not even the same as Jack Kennedy’s from the 1950′s – early 1960′s. He’d be a wing-nut if his policies were compared to BHO’s under today’s Dem party standards.
The fact is that many of us do not recognize the GOP of today and want to change it, just not in the way that you have in mind.

Said Anne, “That’s just not fair that Beck gets to be the one who totally jumps the shark. I want to jump it too!”

“… want someone not just to go birther on Obama, but do do so bombastically”
From my point of view, that statement is half true.
I don’t subscribe to the “Birther” thing as once Congress approves of the election, it’s done deal .. no matter.
I do want to see “the battle of the smartest men in the room,” but I also want more. I want a “death match of the smartest men in the room.”
There is no way that Romney, Huntsman, Cain, Perry, Santorum, Bachmann or Paul can do that. Palin or Ryan would give good a good fight as well.
By the way, I fully expect Obama to wimp out.
