Say, how do "hot lap dances" affect global warming? Last week, a Gore supporter, Louis Posner, enraged over the result of the 2000 presidential election and founder of the Democratic voter organization Voter March, was arrested in New York on charges of prostitution and money laundering.

According to the police, in addition to sponsoring events with Vincent Bugliosi about Bush stealing the 2000 election, Posner ran a prostitution ring out of his club, the Hot Lap Dance Club, where employees say they were required to have sex with Posner in order to work there

There were so many quotes to choose from to insert after the title. That one just kinda stood out...

Here are a few issues I found that Romney hadn't switched positions on, and it wasn't "hard": tax cuts, health care, same-sex marriage, illegal immigration and the surge in Iraq.

Oh, horsecrap, Ann. Romney was for McCain-Kennedy before he was against it. And his health care plan SHOULD be something to flip-flop away from.

Face it, none of the choices this election were all that stellar. But pretending your guy didn't have his share of warts is foolishness.

...There were so many quotes to choose from ...

I know. Miss Coulter, has quite a way with words. I liked this line:

...if only the entire American media weren't with the Messiah on his "Ich Bin Ein Berlitzer" tour...

Ann is wonderful.

So brilliant and so beautiful.

“BUT WILL THEY RESPECT HIM IN THE MORNING?”
July 23, 2008

COLUMN SNIPPET: “Say, how do “hot lap dances” affect global warming? Last week, a Gore supporter, Louis Posner, enraged over the result of the 2000 presidential election and founder of the Democratic voter organization Voter March, was arrested in New York on charges of prostitution and money laundering.

According to the police, in addition to sponsoring events with Vincent Bugliosi about Bush stealing the 2000 election, Posner ran a prostitution ring out of his club, the Hot Lap Dance Club, where employees say they were required to have sex with Posner in order to work there. No wonder Posner was so testy about the 2000 election — he wanted to preserve the glory of the Clinton years.”

The rules.. remember the rules!

I see Ann Coulter is still defending Myth Romney.

Attempts to downplay Romney's life long liberalism and morph him into a conservative haven't worked. It'll take more then mere rhetoric from one GOP primary campaign to convince conservatives, Romney is one of us.

The only issue on which Romney had changed his position was abortion, irritating people who would prefer for Republicans to refuse to run in places like Massachusetts and New York City in order to preserve their perfect pro-life credentials.

Oh, and he had to cut a check to Planned Parenthood as well? Using Ann's reasoning, Schwarzenegger would be a great candidate (if he were born American) as he did what he had to do to get elected statewide in California, regardless of whom it irritated.

For the record, I ran as a pro-life conservative in liberal Connecticut for state rep in 1996, and I lost big; but I didn't lie.

Thanks for the history of that fiasco.

I think John McCain IS unpublishable. Not that I really cared what he said back then about conservatives and I sure as heck don't care what he says now when he's running for President. The truth is he shouldn't be surprised the MSM turned its back on him. That was as inevitable as Algore proclaiming hot lap dances cause global warming!

"Show me just what Mohammed brought that was new, and there you will find things only evil and inhuman, such as his command to spread by the sword the faith he preached." - Manuel II Palelologus

Well-written, but no great revelation. I typed myself blue in the face reminding everyone why the MSM loved McCain—because they knew he would be the weakest candidate—and that they could take him down easy. He still seems to be dazed at the treatment he’s getting.

I give her kudos for digging up his prior NYT opeds and reminding us why we don’t like him.

Pinging the Coulter List.



On or off, FReepmail or ping me.

Freepers Calpernia and backhoe did a lot of the work there.

Are references by Ann to “hot lap dances” safe for work?

Haha yes I think they are

Rubbish.

Romney by his very lifestyle demonstrates his conservatism.

The fact that he played politics in order to convince idiot voters here in Massachusetts to elect him is simply evidence of his pragmatism.

I would not have tried to walk tightropes as Mitt did in order to convince anybody of anything, but I would never run for political office either.

IMHO, the most serious criticisms of Romney are his and his families lack of military experience, and that horrible health care plan. The rest is just trumped up over hyped nonsense

But her voice. I was doing some woodworking once and it sanded all the pieces.

Maybe in his lifestyle -- but not in his 'governing' as a liberal's liberal
who delivered a fatal dose of atropine and mercury to the Mass. GOP.

“The Massachusetts Republican Party died last Tuesday.
The cause of death: failed leadership.
The party is survived by a few leftover legislators
and a handful of county officials and grassroots activists
who have been ignored for years.
Services will be public and a mass exodus of taxpayers will follow.
In lieu of flowers, send messages to New Hampshire Republican voters
warning them about a certain presidential candidate named Romney.”
- Boston Herald, 11/12/2006

"In 2006, while Romney was chairman of the National Republican
Governors Association - a group dedicated to electing more
Republican governors - his own hand-picked Republican successor
as governor lost badly to the Democrat, despite the fact that Republicans
have held the governorship in Massachusetts since 1990. Romney largely
ignored the Massachusetts elections and spent most of the time
during the campaign out of state building his presidential campaign.
He came back and publicly campaigned for the Republican candidate
the day before the general election!
“Locally, this is a rebuke to Mitt Romney and checking out within six months
after being elected and having accomplished almost nothing,”
[Jim] Rappaport [former chairman of the state Republican Party]."
- Boston Globe, 11/8/2006

"Imagine the important reporting we could have gotten on the Hot Lap Dance Club story if only the entire American media weren't with the Messiah on his "Ich Bin Ein Berlitzer" Tour! "

OK, it's getting hard keeping up with them between the whoring and touring. Someone should tabulate the carbon footprint for Democratic conventioneer lap dances. Maybe Al Gore could take up this accounting project? What's the jet fuel of Obama's world tour doing to the ozone layer?

FTA:"Since McCain has gone from being a Republican "maverick" who attacks Republicans and promotes liberal causes to the Republican nominee for president, he's also gone from being one of the Times' most frequent op-ed guest columnists to being an unpublishable illiterate. "

Everyone (and I do mean everyone) but MacCain saw that one coming.

BTW, how smart really is a man who lets George Soros, the democrats and the NYT play him like a 2$ fiddle?

Back before the Republican Party was saddled with John McCain as its nominee, The New York Times called him "the only Republican who promises to end the George Bush style of governing from and on behalf of a small, angry fringe."

Just say NO! to the NYT.

LOLOL Ann is great!

She can sand my pieces anytime!

William Weld was in fact a much more liberal Governor than Romney ever was. Cellucci and Swift were brainless hacks who rode Weld’s coattails and achieved collectively nothing as Governors here. So much about the years up on Be-A-Con Hill since 1990.

Romney gets the liberal label while Weld is virtually unknown. Weld somehow earns the conservative label now simply because of an “R” after his name. Ridiculous.

Under Romney, taxes were not raised on individuals in Massachusetts for four entire years. To me, that was significant.

You frequently quote (and paste) articles from the Boston Herald, (which I read every single day and have done so for many years) a paper that has relentlessly assaulted the character and resume of Romney without cease since he first became Governor here.

I can only conclude that anything that the Herald has to say about Romney simply must be taken with a grain of salt. They are hopelessly biased against him.

Romney was not perfect as Governor but, the kind of relentless assaults that he has been under (by yourself, and a few others) out here on FR.com certainly makes me question motivations.

I cannot recall anything like it before in my 5 years plus as a FReeper. It borders on abuse and is actually I think related to some sort of irrational pathological dysfunction, or there are ulterior motives behind it all.

Romney ain't the worst McCain can do, but he ain't the best either.

McCain needs to bide his time. Between the Democrat Convention and the ‘Pubbie Convention might be a good time.

I think Ann thinks Mitt is cute and that’s the reason she’s for him.

Under Romney, taxes were not raised on individuals in Massachusetts for four entire years. To me, that was significant.

Romney called the tax increases "fees". That is OK?
And wait until the federal gov't does not pay off Romney's Socialized medicine scheme.

By the way, several of the periodicals criticizing ROmney's liberal, non-conservative, flip flop
behavior include more sources than the Boston Herald.
Would you like to see a few here?
or are you hopelessly biased for Romney?

"Romney was not perfect as Governor"

We agree on something, it seems. BTW, best quote by a FReeper today:
G Larry: "Socialized medicine means DYING IN LINE!
The concept makes liberals feel good, because everybody has an insurance card.
The fact that nobody is able to receive medical care, is of no consequence to them."

Take care.

Romney gets the liberal label while Weld is virtually unknown.
Weld somehow earns the conservative label now simply because of an “R” after his name.

Is that not what Romney, himself, said?

"I'm not running as the Republican view or a continuation of Republican values.
That's not what brings me to the race.
(Romney Video, accessed 9/19/07)

versus

"We don't intend to turn the Republican Party
 over to the traitors in the battle just ended.
We will have no more of those candidates who are pledged
 to the same goals as our opposition and who seek our support.
Turning the Party over to the so-called moderates
wouldn’t make any sense at all.""
--  President Ronald Reagan

I'm very clear I think, to the people across the Commonwealth
my "R" didn't stand so much for Republican as it does for reform."
(Romney Video, accessed 9/19/07)

versus

"A political party cannot be all things to all people.
It must represent certain fundamental beliefs
 which must not be compromised to political expediency
or simply to swell its numbers."
--  President Ronald Reagan

Boston Herald, (which I read every single day and have done so for many years)
a paper that has relentlessly assaulted the character and resume of Romney

How has it "assaulted the character and resume of Romney"?
FReepers who dont' agree with you would be enlightened if you might back up your statement with some examples.
or do you simply mean telling the truth about Romney's bad behavior?

This is my favorite right here...

“While the media are busy telling McCain that “It’s not you, it’s us,” Al Gore, a recent Democratic candidate for president, has become certifiably nuts. Gore’s increasingly bizarre public statements are a reminder of the dangers of going off carbs cold turkey.”

"At the same time, the Times denounced "the real" Rudy Giuliani as "a narrow, obsessively secretive, vindictive man" and Mitt Romney as "shape-shifting," claiming it's "hard to find an issue on which he has not repositioned himself to the right since he was governor of Massachusetts."

Here are a few issues I found that Romney hadn't switched positions on, and it wasn't "hard": tax cuts, health care, same-sex marriage, illegal immigration and the surge in Iraq. The only issue on which Romney had changed his position was abortion, irritating people who would prefer for Republicans to refuse to run in places like Massachusetts and New York City in order to preserve their perfect pro-life credentials"

I particularly love Ann's take on Romney and the press's unfair treatment of him. She's dead on. Once again, Ann and I agree as we so often do. She is a rational, practical, realisitc, conservative.

Excellent article. : )

I thought you might all enjoy, Ann’s take on Mitt.

Romney is one of us

How do we know you are one of us? Can you stand up to the scrutiny every candidate, particularly GOP candidates, are subjected? I spend as much time as anyone following the careers of candidates and current events. I agree with Ann Coulter completely on her take on Mitt Romney. Does that mean I am not "one of us"? Is Ann Coulter "one of us"?

I cannot recall anything like it before in my 5 years plus as a FReeper. It borders on abuse and is actually I think related to some sort of irrational pathological dysfunction, or there are ulterior motives behind it all.

I also have been baffled by the swarm tactics whenever a Romney thread appears. I have been a Freeper since 1998, first as Zevonfan, and after a login problem, re-registering as Zevonismymuse. I have been involved in the Conservative Movement since the Goldwater campaign and yet my street cred is constantly assailed because of my support of Mitt Romney. I have problems with many GOP candidates but I don't waste my time trying to persuade others to hate them. I simply attempt to explain why supporting a certain candidate is good for conservatism.

Go Ann! Smartest woman in America.
Is the getdrunkandvote4mccain site really hers? I heard her say she bought the URL.

Romney is a liberal.

Coulter is pissing in the wind.

I’m a conservative.

And you, are FOS!

“She did not say she agreed with them, or supported them - just that he had not changed.

As I see it, there's really two main explanations. Either many are just too prideful to admit they may have been wrong about Mitt, or many here are plants from the other side, a combination of the 2 being the most likely.

Being a part of the conservative movement myself for a number of years, I was initially quite put off by Mitt's perceived record as he entered the race. I was anti-Mitt. But it was incumbent upon me at some point to find out “the rest of the story” as our good friend Paul Harvey would say.

As I did the research, & talked to those behind the scenes, who knew Mitt far better than me, it was apparent that my initial feelings were lacking in overall scope & understanding. As an adult, I had to admit to some that I had been WRONG in my initial assessment of the man.

Now did my research lead me to conclude that he was the ultimate conservative? Not even. But it did lead me to conclude that he was in fact a conservative & could lead that movement w/ others successfully none the less. That's one of the main reasons I switched from Fred to Mitt. It became very apparent that Fred couldn't get it done. He was lethargic, a horrible campaigner, & couldn't get the overall support. Mitt had all those things going for him. Fred had a great message, but couldn't get it out for a myriad of reasons.

Don't underestimate the enemy that is within here. The trick is to recognize them & deal accordingly. For those that are just too prideful? Hopefully, by seeing the example of other adult attitudes, they can be brought around to at least some civil discourse. Hope springs eternal.

“Are references by Ann to “hot lap dances” safe for work?”

Not if you may be called upon to stand up unexpectedly...

Great line.

I wwould like to know who the stupid Republicans are that listened to the New York Times when they said he was the most electable. True there were cross-over votes, but enough Republicans acted like dolts and voted for McCain. Now we are stuck with voting for someone who doesn’t stand a chance and who we don’t like. Just because it is our duty to do so. How pathetic!!!! I expect McCain to suck it up and have Mitt on his team because he owes us for making us feel taken advantage of, because that’s what it feels like.

Romney is a liberal. Coulter is pissing in the wind. I’m a conservative. And you, are FOS!

I am certain that Ronald Reagan would not consider you part of his Conservative movement. Your foul posts dishonor the name Reagan.

....expect McCain to suck it up and have Mitt on his team because he owes us for making us feel taken advantage of, because that’s what it feels like.

I hope you are right. I have this nervous feeling the Maverick might go even further to the left by picking someone really off the wall, just to demonstrate that the Conservative wing of the party can't push him around. He seems to be sticking to proving he is a moderate.

First you reply to me with an asinine post and then expect me to be civil with you. Not on your life.

Anyone who runs around supporting the liberal Myth Romney, is either a liberal themselves, or FOS.

I gave you benefit of the doubt.

I think you've gone over the edge my man. If you think for one second that Reagan would have ever talked to a fellow conservative like that, or condoned a friend of his to do so, you are very sadly mistaken about what Reagan was all about.

That being said, I appreciate your zeal towards conservatism if not the delivery of such. Keep fighting for the cause. But there are better ways than the way you're doing it. Regardless of what hand we're dealt at this point, ultimately, we're going to have to band together, despite the differences of opinion. I don't think you're a plant, but at this point, you may inadvertently be doing some of their bidding.

Actions can be out of the conservative play-book, or the liberal one. At some point, our actions can tell which play-book we're reading from.

>>>>>I think you've gone over the edge my man.

Hardly.

You've got a lot to learn about conservatism and Free Republc. As I told you the other day, I don't support liberals like Romney, or liberalism of any kind, period. I also don't run around the Internets premier conservative website calling into question the credentials or intentions of good FReepers, as you did in post #38. FReepers who've been members of this conservative forum longer than you have.

The Founder of FR and leader of this great conservative forum had some choice words concerning Romney. They mirror many of the remarks FReepers have posted about Romney in the past.

"Any man who can go on national TV and argue so intensely FOR abortion and even FOR allowing underage girls to get an abortion with or without parental permission as long as she gets a judge’s approval is no conservative, no Republican, no Christian, not even a man at all. Not then. Not now. Not ever. This evil being has no moral bedrock.

"As soon as Romney falls down on his knees on national TV in front of God and everyone; and repents and begs for forgiveness for all the innocent young lives that were murdered in the womb on his watch after he ran on the pro-abortion platform, then I will consider it. If the man had any integrity at all, he’d resign and spend the rest of his life and the rest of his money trying to undo some of the wrong he’s done. But not as president. That office is reserved for honest men of the highest character and integrity."

~~~ Jim Robinson

The fact you Romney supporters have to raise Reagan as an issue, every time your man is attacked, shows what a bunch of whining crybabies you people really are.
