Its always fun to read the posts after a Coulter column. The conversation soon drifts completely off to irrelevance. The haters never manage to respond to the facts. The facts are that Warren cheated to avail herself of Affirmative Action benefits. She is a white liberal daughter of privilege. The hypocrisy magnitude rivals that of Ted Haggard, Jim Bakker and Jimmy Swaggart.

Romney is better than Obama.

I've read a couple of articles by Guy Benson. Who is he for? I'm in agreement of the 2008 vs 2012 comparisons. I'm less enamonred by Romney in 2011 than I was in 2008. But, I will take the ABO pledge. I will support the Republican Nominee in the Presidential election unless his name is Obama. I haven't heard Rush or Levin make the Ron Paul (or Glenn Beck) argument. Let's let Republicans choose our nominee and then let's support him (or her). If Ron Paul mounts a 3rd Party candidacy, he should be stripped of all committee assignments and removed from the party.

The 3 finalists in the 2008 Republican primary were McCain, Huckabee, and Romney. Most conservatives (fiscal anyway) were lamenting a perceived conspiracy by Huckabee to split the conservative vote and throw the nomination (and the election) to the left (McCain and Obama). Point is, Romney is singing from a more conservative hymnal in 2011. Unfortunately, we now have a race to the right. They are running so fast they are leaving me behind on the old right. I'm proud to be left behind with good company like Ann Coulter. Always been a fan. Thanks Ann.

I believe that this is one of the most important topics facing Republican leaders, primarily, and conservatives, as well. Republicans have been successful when they could hold together a coalition of social and economic conservative voters. There is a growing disconnect. McCain won the Republican nomination in a 3 way split between social, fiscal, and moderate conservatives. Here's the real rub. Many pro-life/marriage people believe in statist redistributive policies. We always assume that pro-choice policy is pro-abortion. Sometimes it is libertarian. We regularly assume that pro-life or marriage is conservative. Sometimes it is just statist. I believe that pro-life and marriage policies are justified in a free society. Many of the...

Sadly, I am ready to agree with Charen, but, only if we get a leader that can unite Republicans with Tea Party participants on the right and disaffected moderates in the middle. Right now, there are so many vetoes that I'm not sure anyone would fly. The chairman needs to be someone without personal aspirations (my opinion). Every name I consider comes with a veto from some quarter of the party. Think Gingrich, Bennett, Cheney, etc. I really liked Karl Roves book. He is a strong political operator. I think most of his enemies would be to the left of our target audience. He has proven that he can win elections.

If we had a leader that promised a massive and violent retribution for terror inflicted outside the Afghan borders. If we had a leader that promised massive and violent pre-emption based on reasonable intelligence regarding terror planning inside the Afghan borders. If we had that leader, and we don't, I'd support a total withdrawal and isolation of Afghanistan. If would be a matter of months before we would bomb them back to the stone age, which wouldn't change much, since they are already in the stone age. But, at least they would be dead. I agree we can't form a functional nation among corrupt, dysfunctional people. But, since we do not have the political will to follow a violent responsive and preemptive strategy, we will be forced...

I haven't read everything, but this is the best I've read. There is nothing to add. Whether Obama lied is purely a matter of semantics. Clearly, there were many errors in the address. Whether the errors were by choice or ignorance may be relevant, but, it doesn't change the game.

I might point out that at least once, we Republicans got it right by nominating a living legend. Reagan was the oldest President to serve, and perhaps we just hope to find someone that comes close. I like Huckaby's tv show, but, he doesn't impress me as a Presidential Candidate. I'm not sure who does right now. I'd love to see someone burst on the scene that inspires the nation to do for itself.

Buchanan seems to be writing as though Republicans must develop a monolithic platform on a mythical protectionist right wing to be successful. Responsible border enforcement can be a winning issue. But, Pat B has yet to espouse a winning strategy on this issue. Newt made a disagreeable judgment on the NY race. Leave it at that. Palin made the right one. Leave it at that. The vote for Speaker is the most important vote any congressman will cast. No one understands this better than Newt. I expect that influences his judgment on this one. My mind is wide open on 2012. Hey, I voted for McCain.
