The Most Novel Defense of Coultercare Yet

By W. James Antle, III on 2.23.12 @ 12:03PM

Ann Coulter keeps outdoing herself in defenses of Romneycare that inadvertently reinforce Obamacare. To wit: "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."

So instead of adopting Obama's mandate-and-subsidy-driven health care policy at the federal level, we should have just had it in all 50 states. Beam me up, Scotty.

Ann's so big for Romney because both are both pro-sodomite. Ann is on the board of PoopProud. Romney ran to Ted Kennedy's left in 1994 in support of homosexual "rights." Romney supports the Obama-Mullen-Snowe-PoopProud policy on sodomites in the military.

You should be thrown off this site. They should require an IQ of at least 90.

Hey, some people have irrational and irresistible feelings about gay people and their sex lives. It's a sad thing, but the GOP will be much stronger once it overcomes this obsession.

Couldn't one say the same thing about the liberals/Democrats. After all, who keeps bringing up homosexual marriage? The GOP and conservatives are just reacting to the constant attention that the left brings to it. It is defeated at the ballot box, yet a year goes by and the liberals/left are bringing it up again - using judges to implement it apparently over the voices of the majority.

david,
obviously, you have missed the states which have enacted gay marriage legislatively. The ones putting the issue to referendum are engaging in political cowardice - pushing off really difficult, potentially office-costing decisions to 'the people', the people whom they shaft at every other turn. Why do you and other righties fear gays? My marriage is neither elevated nor diminished by what the gay couple down the road does.

Indeed. If conservatism is having more and more government intervention in our lives, I need to call myself something else! I am incredibly disappointed in Ms. Coulter.

Isn't Coulter simply following the advice of the sainted WFB Jr.: support the most conservative candidate who can win? That said I think she's full of crap about Romneycare.

Ann Coulter has either changed dramatically in the past few years, or she was always this way, and hid it well. Either way, I ignore her now. Nothing she could do or say going forward would ever again convince me she is a true conservative. She may be a republican. That's about it.

Ann Coulter is a closet liberal woman...... part of phony news media and pundits that are agenda driven entirely. She pretends to be conservative only to sell her books.

W. C. Taqiyya| 2.23.12 @ 3:34PM

Ann cranked out some excellent books which I thoroughly enjoyed. However, she has lately begun to insist on herself which seems to indicate an overblown egotism or feeling of elitism. Tone it down Ann, you are not Moses.

very disappointing.

many on the right rely on intellectual dishonesty for bashing Romneycare. MA was going to do something about health care during that time and it would not have mattered if Reagan had been governor. Do your own research. How many things did Romney veto that Dem majorities over-rode? You folks do realize MA is a very blue, right?
