It must be terrible to be so certain that all things Republican and conservative are bad and wrong.
When people like Coulter and Delay become the standard of quality for the GOP, I can't help but lose respect. I have to tell you.......the first time I heard Coulter say something on tv I was shocked that someone would treat others in a public forum the way she does. What's astounding is her take on other women.....she calls them stupid cows. The woman is out of control.
Ted, wrong is wrong no matter who does it.
No kidding.
If Harry Reid is arranging bribes to be paid to his son, it is wrong. If Jim McDeromott is illegally releasing tapes to the media, it is wrong (and the courts convictd him of it). If Bill Clinton is raping women, attempting to rape other women, lying under oath, and everything else he did, it is wrong. If Bob Packwood is doing the same kind of stuff as Clinton (except lying under oath) it is wrong.
If any of those people are found quilty as charged, then I am all for it. However, in the 5 years since I've watched the political scene more closely, it seems the GOP is the party with the most perpetrators of criminal activity.
Just because most of the ethics problems are on the left of the aisle does not mean that all Democrats are bad. Just because you perceive that Democrats are to be forgiven their ethical shortcomings and that Republicans must be pilloried does not make you bad. It does imply partisanship.
That has never been my position and you know it. But acceptable non partisanship to you would have me supporting everything the GOP does.
"You'd have to send the entire staff of most MSM with her. I understand that a person who is a well informed as she is is dangerous, and thus you feel compelled to sink her."
Well informed? You're kidding?
No, just read the bibliography in one of her books. Afterword you will be allowed to retract that comment. You don't have to read the book, just the bibliography. the woman is well read and concise.
So what? There are a lot of well read people who are badly informed. In comes from reading only what you want to hear. However, my issue with Coulter is not her intellect and her knowledge, but its her rude and abrasive manner and her ability to use hyperbole in the most destructive and slanderous of ways.
Anyone who behaves like Coulter should be treated accordingly. Its clear that Coulter is very literate and very articulate and she uses that ability to pommel her enemy with disgusting and irreverent venom. The fact that she is a GOP icon suggests that GOP standards have been lowered. Having said that, there are some conservative media like NRO that refuse to publish her articles. When more do the same, my respect for the right will go up but not until that happens. IMO you all need to be less concerned with power and more concerned with self policing.
You have the right to be offended by the methods she chooses to deliver the information. For you to accuse her of being ill informed shows how little you know.
Its clear there isn't a GOPer you haven't liked.
There are plenty of Republicans I do not like. Packwood, Jeffords, McCain, Voinovitch, Santorum are the first to come to mind.
Well, that's progress.
