The Bush poll should be a killer, especially endorsement-wise. It wasn't too long ago when repub Ken Mehlman thought it wise that the GOP distance itself from Bush. Yet, the talk is that some of the Bush family might be endorsing Romney. Oh why not? When Romney is advancing Bush war lies anyways.

Romney is the candidate of ’some of the Bush family.’


Liz Cheney was a recent abandoner of Bush's "freedom agenda".

Spreading democracy over there and fascism at home.

Brilliant

Ann Coulter is said to have endorsed Mitt Romney. This article questions the value of that, given that Mitt is Mr. flip flop.

Credulous Coulter and Misleading Mitt: like birds of a feather


Maybe, Coulter has a secret leftististo (or whatever the latest reich-wing slander of the progressives is being called these days) twinge that no one knew about.

And of course, the RTL crowd thinks Coulter is nuts, not unlike the rest of sane America, but for a different reason.

American RTL Rebukes Ann Coulter -- Coulter Endorses Pro-Abortion Mitt Romney

Apparently, the media has been hooked by Coulter's talkthat she'd be a Hillary support if McCain was the repub candidate.

It smacks of bs comment Kucinich made about Paul to grab headlines.

And if this were true, I'd advise Hillary to say, "Thanks but no thanks from conservative skanks."

from the article:



We need to remember NAFTA and welfare reform happened under Bill Clinton. Hillary was a Goldwater girl. While Coulter can never be anything other that a skank, her observation that Hillary is more conservative than McCain could very well be valid. Conservatives however will never vote for a woman; they believe their places are barefoot, pregnant and in the kitchen.

See, that's why Coulter's "endorsement" seems like some sort of canard.

McCain is conservative as all get-out, unless opposing "choice" has become the new liberal fad. We know that supporting war is. He also voted 87.3% of the time with repubs in 2007.

Clinton is left of McCain. and while Coulter would be supposedly supporting Clinton, most of Coulter's asshole-ciates would be running Swift Boat like attacks against Clinton.

I work with a couple of staunch Republicans. They have an intense hatred of Hillary Clinton, which they cannot explain. It's just personal.

They also detest John McCain. However, in McCain's case, the reason for their overpowering enmity is clear. McCain has not supported George W. Bush 100% of the time. He committed Republican heresy when he voted against Bush's tax cuts for the wealthy. Despite the fact that Republicans no longer try to defend the indefensible George W. Bush, they still quietly worship him. It's still all about Bush, and it always will be for them.

Also, they will never forgive him for McCain/Feingold, which they hold responsible for cutting into the GOP's massive advantage in campaign contributions.

It seems similar to the Inquisition, when the Catholic Church vilified Catholic heretics much more than it did non-Catholics.

Don't Rs have an intense hatred of women, period?

Yes, many are very chauvinistic, which is obviously a major source of their animosity toward Hillary Clinton. The two Republicans with whom I work seem to think her thick ankles are a crucial campaign issue.

The amazing thing is, Republican women seem to be as prejudiced against women as are the Republican men.

I've not met many Republicans who can see past the fact that they're simply REPUBS. It doesn't matter what the leading members of the party do, they will still support them. It's a very strange phenomenon. I think some of it, however, is because so many Repubs are at the bottom of the intellectual scale. And they've been further dummied down ingesting a daily diet of Faux News and the right wing talk shows.

Too many Repubs still think George W. Bush is the main reason we've not been "attacked by more terrorists." They actually believe that without him in the White House, we'll be nuked by Iran or some other "terrorist nation" who "hate us for our freedoms." These folks are the neocons' dream!

The idiots are too stupid to realize that the only terrorist attack (supposed to be, anyway) we have had within our borders occurred on Bush's WATCH!

I have to echo the fact that most people just don't like Hillary for the mere fact that she was married to Bill and that she is a powerful woman. Unless you are Oprah (whom I personally despise), you are just a woman who is out of her place if you exert any of your own intellect or power in your environment. I personally don't like Hillary because of the way she votes and the fact that she still stands by her vote to allow the Iraqi occupation (who can really call it a war?--its like when Germany occupied France)...anyway, I think she smells a little too much like Lieberman for me to handle, so I do not want her to get the nomination. Its ironic though, because the feminist in me says vote for the woman, while my logic says its morally wrong to do so.

As John Edwards has ducked out of the race, I suppose I will support Barack. Again, I do so more because I want our country to come into the 21st century that I think it would be cathartic and wonderful to actually have a NON-white, rich man in office. Other than that, I haven't been blown off of my feet impressed with him.

As far as the stupidity of Repubs, sadly the fact is that if you don't actively engage in politics and actively seek out more truth than what is giving on ANY MSM show, you are never going to have a clue about what's going on other than some lame talking points that are spewed continuously. And I have a theory, which may be entirely imagined and way off base, but I think that far more americans are EXTREMELY racist/bigoted than we ever admit. The fact that us damn progressives think negros and women are equals makes even some women insanely angry. Because of this, normal people (or what comes close to normal) will only vote for repubs because they are the patriarchal party. The one that thinks its just swell for a woman to go to college specifically to meet a man, and that it's awesome to use your body as a human incubator for child after child after child after child and to send all your money to some manipulative televangelist...

Oh, shit, sorry, I am totally ranting and probably so off topic that its annoying. Sorrry!!!

Lefty—
You are truly forgiven. With the MSM putting forth only Hillary or Barack as choices, I fear this is the death blow for Democratic chances for the White House. While Hillary says neither she nor Obama feel there is a place for race or gender in the race, the fact is elections have been lost over these issues. She seems incapable of acknowledging the venom she generates. I lived through the years of Pete Wilson being governor in California because Tom Bradley could overcome being Black on Election Day; the prejudice of person always can come to the fore when in the privacy of the voting booth. Both of them voted for funding the occupation and only switched their votes when it appeared to be politically expedient. It would appear that their personal ambitions just might give the White House to a Bush warmongering clone.

Lefty, I agree with your entire post!
