Ann Coulter: The Reign Of Lame Falls…
From Ann Coulter:
THE REIGN OF LAME FALLS MAINLY ON MCCAIN
November 5, 2008
Last night was truly a historic occasion: For only the second time in her adult life, Michelle Obama was proud of her country!
The big loser of this election is Colin Powell, whose last-minute endorsement of Obama put the Illinois senator over the top. Powell was probably at home last night, yelling at his TV, “Are you KIDDING me? That endorsement was sarcastic!”
The winner, of course, is Obama, who must be excited because now he can start hanging out in public with Bill Ayers and Rev. Jeremiah Wright again. John McCain is a winner because he can resume buying more houses.
And we’re all winners because we will never again have to hear McCain say, “my friends.”
After Bill Clinton won the 1992 presidential election, Hillary Clinton immediately announced that, henceforth, she would be known as “Hillary Rodham Clinton.” So maybe Obama can now become B. Hussein Obama, his rightful name.
This was such an enormous Democratic year that even John Murtha won his congressional seat in Pennsylvania after calling his constituents racists. It turns out they’re not racists — they’re retards. Question: What exactly would one have to say to alienate Pennsylvanians? That Joe Paterno should retire?
Apparently Florida voters didn’t mind Obama’s palling around with Palestinian activist Rashid Khalidi and Nation of Islam leader Louis Farrakhan, either. There must be a whole bunch of retired Pennsylvania Jews down there.
Have you ever noticed that whenever Democrats lose presidential elections, they always blame it on the personal qualities of their candidate? Kerry was a dork, Gore was a stiff, Dukakis was a bloodless android, Mondale was a sad sack.
This blame-the-messenger thesis allows Democrats to conclude that their message was fine — nothing should be changed! The American people are clamoring for higher taxes, big government, a defeatist foreign policy, gay marriage, the whole magilla. It was just this particular candidate’s personality.
Republicans lost this presidential election, and I don’t blame the messenger; I blame the message. How could Republicans go after B. Hussein Obama (as he is now known) on planning to bankrupt the coal companies when McCain supports the exact same cap and trade policies and earnestly believes in global warming?
How could we go after Obama for his illegal alien aunt and for supporting driver’s licenses for illegal aliens when McCain fanatically pushed amnesty along with his good friend Teddy Kennedy?
How could we go after Obama for Jeremiah Wright when McCain denounced any Republicans who did so?
How could we go after Obama for planning to hike taxes on the “rich,” when McCain was the only Republican to vote against both of Bush’s tax cuts on the grounds that they were tax cuts for the rich?
And why should Republican activists slave away working for McCain when he has personally, viciously attacked: John O’Neill and the Swift Boat Veterans, National Right to Life director Doug Johnson, evangelical pastors Jerry Falwell, Pat Robertson and John Hagee, various conservative talk radio hosts, the Tennessee Republican Party and on and on and on?
As liberal Democrat E.J. Dionne Jr. exuded about McCain in The Washington Post during the Republican primaries, “John McCain is feared by Democrats and liked by independents.” Dionne proclaimed that McCain “may be the one Republican who can rescue his party from the undertow of the Bush years.”
Similarly, after unelectable, ultraconservative Reagan won two landslide victories, James Reston of The New York Times gave the same advice to Vice President George H.W. Bush: Stop being conservative! Bush was “a good man,” Reston said in 1988, “and might run a strong campaign if liberated from Mr. Reagan’s coattails.”
Roll that phrase around a bit — “liberated from Mr. Reagan’s coattails.” This is why it takes so long to read the Times — you have to keep reading the same paragraph over again to see if you missed a word.
Bush, of course, rode Reagan’s ultraconservative coattails to victory, then snipped those coattails by raising taxes and was soundly defeated four years later.
I keep trying to get Democrats to take my advice (stop being so crazy), but they never listen to me. Why do Republicans take the advice of their enemies?
How many times do we have to run this experiment before Republican primary voters learn that “moderate,” “independent,” “maverick” Republicans never win, and right-wing Republicans never lose?
Indeed, the only good thing about McCain is that he gave us a genuine conservative, Sarah Palin. He’s like one of those insects that lives just long enough to reproduce so that the species can survive. That’s why a lot of us are referring to Sarah as “The One” these days.
Like Sarah Connor in “The Terminator,” Sarah Palin is destined to give birth to a new movement. That’s why the Democrats are trying to kill her. And Arnold Schwarzenegger is involved somehow, too. Good Lord, I’m tired.
After showing nearly superhuman restraint throughout this campaign, which was lost the night McCain won the California primary, I am now liberated to announce that all I care about is hunting down and punishing every Republican who voted for McCain in the primaries. I have a list and am prepared to produce the names of every person who told me he was voting for McCain to the proper authorities.
We’ll start with former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee, former New York City mayor Rudy Giuliani, California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger and Florida Gov. Charlie Crist. Then we shall march through the states of New Hampshire and South Carolina — states that must never, ever be allowed to hold early Republican primaries again.
For now, we have a new president-elect. In the spirit of reaching across the aisle, we owe it to the Democrats to show their president the exact same kind of respect and loyalty that they have shown our recent Republican president.
Starting tomorrow, if not sooner.
Amen!

I really don’t want to turn into the left but it is sooo hard not to. I got a few emails today from so called friends and unfortunate relatives doing the “happy dance” about old barry. You know, when W won I never laughed or made fun of them. But are these folks just immature? I don’t know, deranged? Probably. Yes, Michelle the Belle is right-America is a downright mean country in 2008.
Don’t forget folks when people come panhandling to your door-tell them to ask barack-he’ll take care of everything.
I don’t understand the people of PA, I really don’t. Can someone tell me how that “fat little bastard” was relected soundly? How could these people vote for someone who called them rednecks and racists? They must be a few sandwhiches short of a picnic.
Palin/Jindal 2012
BTW I voted absentee for Romney but he dropped out before my vote got counted.
Catie, when the panhandlers show up and ask you for some change just tell them “Obama has your change.”
On another note, I certainly buy into that spirit of reaching across the aisle, as our ‘friends’ the Democrats have done lo these 8 long years. We need to come up with a list of charming ways to “show their president the exact same kind of respect and loyalty that they have shown our recent Republican president.” Maybe start a new thread….?
Since I want to grow up to be like Ann, I will practice my writing skills (I’m taking some PR classes now) but there must be other fun ways to show what we think of B. Hussein Obama.
Cheers,
Ellen K.
I very much agree with you Catie. It is like the OJ trial all over again. I can totally understand being joyful on the occasion that our country nominates it’s first (half) black president. Seriously, I can. But the all out gloating is more than any adult should have to endure when coming from a 5 year old, let alone what appear to be full grown adults.
I am happy that I live in Alaska, especially at a time like this. To hear Gov. Palin be ridiculed for being stupid is maddening. She has done awesome things in our state. I don’t know much about Jindal but I will definitely read up on him. Gov. Palin has my vote. Gee, I wonder why news of her being exhonerated (sp?) in the “troopergate” scandal hasn’t been plastered everywhere. What saddens me most is to hear people who I know to be very pro-life, or at least claim to be, give their support over to Obama. Somehow all of this fabulous social programs are supposed to resurrect dead babies apparently.
Lord deliver us.
Let the messiah mocking begin:
Obama Win Causes Obsessive Supporters To Realize How Empty Their Lives Are

As always, Ann Coulter tells it just like it is. She is a national treasure!
Right on, Ann. Someone had to say it.
There’s going to be tons of history being rewritten about this election, much of it miscasting the reason for McCain’s loss on Sarah Palin. We known better than all, as we were the ones voting for her, that she was the best thing that’s happened to us in a generation, and for any future talking heads or “analysts” to say that she cost us this election is pure poppycock.
McCain limped through this election, but the best thing he did for us was to pick Sarah Palin. I hope she enjoys a long life and career.
I’m going to keep a weekly log of the sea level. If it doesn’t lower, I will be very disappointed. Thank God that Jane Fonda can quit crying herself to sleep fearing an Obama loss, and Bill Ayers won’t need any more police escorts. He almost came to my University but there seemed to be a “feeling” of threatening atmosphere. Translation: Donors were going to withdraw sending money.
Hello to all with heavy hearts. I am responding to all comments above. I am from Philly, I have commented here on occasion just as all the other regulars. I would like all to this site know that as someone from Philly, I am deeply dissapointed as everyone else. I really thought with my local grassroots get out the Republican vote and even the people who are becoming more demographically and not really political. That a small group of us could convince these folks on what to do. Unfortunatley as I have stated on this site before, this is now the overall concern for the future of this nation. The changing generations, demographics, the fact that the WWII
generation in it’s entirety is just about gone. I have always maintained one comment here throughout. That is, as long as that generation was around everything would be O.K. Now what? They had an understanding of the world like no one else. Pres. Reagan knew his generation. They trusted one another, had faith in what they could bring to this nation. They were ordinary folk. Today it’s, identity theft, cooking books, being told to put you’re earnings in the financial markets to grow for retirement. No one knew better how important it was for Americans to work hard and rely on the fact you control what becomes of you’re money. We rely on this philosophy. Now we rely on crooks running away with 90million dollars. Hey that’s our 401ks, IRA’s, etc. No one cares. You see this is what I and others have tried to explain all along here to make sure people vote Republican consistenly,especially in PA. To say McCain is another G.Bush is perfectly O.K. with me. He did the best he could under terrible circumstances that constantly beat him
down. Over and over. Here,Here to Ms. Coulter!!!
Ann Coulter’s piece is excellent. So true — conservatives have to stop seeking love and approval from liberals, That’s what McCain screwed up.
I expect Obama to abide by Bush’s transition plan for Iraq and Afghanistan which I’m sure the Bush administration has already laid out. Obama is not kneejerk and will see that what Bush is doing is the only politically plausible course. He will be able to sell this to his moonbat base by blaming Bush.
Thinking like a Chicago thug politician and being Machiavellian I think Obama will see that MoveOn.org has proven their worth as useful idiots, but have gotten too big for their breeches and could be a big pain in the neck as Obama switches from bomb throwing to governing, I expect Obama to marginalize or even destroy the organization before the next election cycle. Democrats could rebuild MoveOn’s web presence either from scratch or by co-opting one or many of the hundreds of effective web portals that emerged in this election. Going after or threatening their tax exempt status would be a great way to knock these groups out or bring them to heel.
Pelosi and Reid are incompetent to the core and will be easily herded into what works best for Obama. For Reid, he’ll be happy that the “cool kid” (pretends he) likes him.
I expect Obama to act more like Bill Cosby than Jessie Jackson once he’s in office for a year. He will expect the black community to be more self-sufficient.
@drunk4ever: I totally agree with you. One scary thing about the future is that we can’t anticipate how violently the left will react when they realize Obama used them. Kind of like the way the neocons used the Christian Right and then bailed on their agenda.
Crass opportunism knows no limits of race or creed.
“I expect Obama to act more like Bill Cosby than Jessie Jackson once he’s in office for a year. He will expect the black community to be more self-sufficient.”
I agree, drunk4ever. All presidencies have phases thoughout their terms. Obama’s will not be different.
He will court his moderates for the first phase, then his radicals in the second, and just before he has to run for re-election, he’ll of course return to wooing the moderates again.
The heavy depression has moved to a dull ache as I try to look toward the future. Though if one more PRObamatron calls me bitter for not joining their party I will scream at them. But like Ann suggests with the dems, just show them the same respect they have been showing us!
