As the Romney campaign suffers in the polls and struggles to counter the infamous the video of their candidate seemingly deriding 47 percent of the electorate, Republican candidates across the country are backing away from their presidential nominee. The latest evacuee: Romney's campaign co-chair, former Minnesota Governor Tim Pawlenty, who quit the campaign to join a Wall Street lobbying firm. Ohio's Republican governor Jon Kasich also distanced himself, saying he disagreed with Romney's "47 percent" comments, then qualifying his disagreement by saying, "We all have misspoken."
"They're jumping ship," said MSNBC's Ed Schultz on Thursday's The Ed Show. "They've had enough."
Pawlenty and Kasich were hardly alone. Hawaii Senate candidate Linda Lingle recently emphasized that she is not "a rubber stamp for the national party," and that she cannot be held responsible for Romney's statements. Even arch-conservative George Allen, running for Senate in Virginia, said on Thursday night that he had his "own point of view on the subject." His view is that "the people of America still believe in the American dream."
The latest ship-jumpers join a host of other Republican critics of Romney's "47 percent" remark. On Wednesday night's Hardball, even Republican strategist John Feehery conceded that Romney's secretly recorded speech was hugely problematic. "If you're running for president, you have to get as many votes as you can. A lot of those in the 47 percent are people who want to vote for Mitt Romney," he said.

GOP lies lies lies.. run as far as you can, you still voted down 5 million jobs,, in 3 separate votes, no, every time.. lie your way out of that, and pass the jobs bill.-------------- different words same view-----------------
Another 380 k filed for unemployment last week. Yes sir, Obama is really creating those jobs!
wow, another clueless post for the right, might want to
understand trends, not month to month, let's take initial claims, was 650k in
early 09', now 382k, same with continuing
claims, month to month could be anything, recently the global slowdown,
especially China and Europe, affect the numbers as American businesses face
less exports
Throw momma from the train wreck that is in progress and allow willard to stay on board with ryan and watch it crash as it goes over the cliff !
PRESIDENT OBAMA WANTS TO CREATE JOBS - REPUBLICANS JUST DON'T WANT TO HELP EASE OUT UNEMPLOYMENT & help the people who truly need jobs.
Jobs Act Republicans killed
1.) Transportation Jobs Act Proposed by the President to Congress to rebuild our Infrastructure
2.) American Jobs Act (Simpson-Bowles Deficit Reduction Bi-partisan Commission) POTUS does not want to back down on taxing more of the rich so Ryan and his cohort unanimously voted against the President job proposal
3.) Now, they killed the Veterans Jobs Act proposed by Sen Patty Murray (D-Washington). Republicans won't acknowledge that "the treatment of our veterans is a cost of war."
Senator Pat Toomey (R) Penn - Senator Mike Johanns (R) Nebraska - Senator John Boozman (R) Arkansas - Senator Richard Burr(R) North Carolina are the
responsible individuals killing the Job Act for the Veterans....next time this turkeys goes in the next election....VOTE THEM OUT
They can run, but they can't hide! When Mitt goes down in Nov, the shock waves are going to hit, a lot of them are going to sink with him because of their actions in the past.
DemonRats, LIES... LIES... LIES... Obama and his ilk are corrupt to the core of their failed socialist philosophy... WAKE UP AMERICA....
Knock it off with the socialist bull. Don't you realize we've been living with socialism for quite awhile? What do you think Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid is? Taxes that we pay that keep up the infrastructure is socialism. You've listened to Repub BS for so long, you don't know which way is up!
Translation: Mitt Romney is really having a bad month and is losing this election despite having the advantages of more money and a less dazzling economy
clueless, as usual, socialist, how about corn, farm, cotton, mineral, oil etc subsidies, not to mention deductions, personal and corporate, and legal tax loopholes for American businesses, federal and state infrastructure that all people and businesses 'to build that'
Just living up to his name, MJB....Desperation to make himself feel better.
The Real Parasites are Romney’s Beloved Corporations Not the 47 Percent
By: RmuseSeptember 20th, 2012
The idea of assigning personhood, or life, to objects lacking the qualities or features of living beings without any sign of life or consciousness is something young children do as an expression of their imagination. There are adults who give gender specific names to inanimate objects like cars, boats and even musical instruments, but like children, they know the object is not really a person. Willard Romney believes legal instruments, corporations, are people and it is childish, but the conservative Supreme Court bestowed personhood on corporations as the law of the land so legally, Romney has a point.
A few days ago, a hidden video surfaced that exposed Romney alleging that 47% of Americans “believe they are victims and the government has a responsibility to care for them” and “should give them entitlements.” Romney complained that the 47% “are people who pay no income tax” and that he could “never convince them they should take personal responsibility and care for their lives.” Willard’s point of contention is that people who do not pay income taxes are leeches on Americans that do pay income tax, but there is serious incongruity in his argument. There is a percentage of Willard’s people (corporations) that do not pay income taxes, and yet he and Republicans’ long-standing assertion is that corporations (people) are victims of high taxation and cannot possibly prosper unless their taxes are slashed because the “government has a responsibility to care for them.”
It is interesting then, that another group of people, veterans, who are unemployed and pay no income taxes were denied a jobs program by Senate Republicans who advocate for more corporate-people entitlements in the form of tax cuts. President Obama has pushed for the Veterans Jobs Corps bill to help out-of-work Veterans find gainful employment and gain access to the infrastructure to assist in job searches. The Republicans in the Senate said America could not afford $1 billion over five years to hire 20,000 young veterans for public lands jobs and to prioritize veterans for first responder jobs such as police, firefighter, or EMT that they most likely trained for while serving their country. Perhaps Senate Republicans, like Willard Romney, differentiate between corporate-people who pay no income taxes and do not need assistance, and real people who do not pay income taxes and need assistance.

Perhaps Senate Republicans, like Willard Romney, differentiate between corporate-people who pay no income taxes and do not need assistance, and real people who do not pay income taxes and need assistance.
Since Romney complained that 47% of real Americans paid no income taxes were parasites on the government and could not take responsibility for their lives, it is hypocritical that he failed to include 26 highly profitable Fortune 500 companies that paid no income taxes and in some cases got a refund since 2008. Why did Willard not complain that companies like Bain Capital’s Mattel, General Electric, Boeing, and Wells Fargo received taxpayer-funded entitlements while they paid nothing in income taxes? If Romney is irritated that real Americans living at poverty level cannot be taught to take responsibility for their lives and start paying income taxes, when will he teach highly profitable corporate-people to start taking some responsibility for their corporate-lives and pay income taxes? Besides not paying income taxes when they are making record profits, they live off entitlements funded by Americans who do pay income taxes.
Nearly all of the 26 Fortune 500 who did not pay income taxes use resources taxpayers fund like ports, highways, and the transportation system, or police and fire protection, water and sewer systems, and tax breaks for shipping Americans’ jobs overseas. When will banks and companies like Bain Capital that received taxpayer-funded government bailouts start taking personal responsibility for their corporate lives after they gambled with other Americans’ money and caused the global recession? They certainly are not poor like the 47% of Americans who paid no income taxes or they would not be listed in the Fortune 500 most profitable companies. If Romney is going to impugn real Americans who do not pay income taxes because they are poor; why does he give highly profitable corporations a pass and campaign on a promise to reduce their tax rate even more? Because those inanimate legal instruments are his “corporation-people,” and unlike a child’s imaginary person, they help Romney earn millions.
Romney and Republicans cannot have it both ways. It is Romney’s standard argument to decry the high corporate tax rate, and Americans should start asking how much lower than zero can he possibly reduce corporate taxes? According to Citizens for Tax Justice, 30 of the 280 biggest, profitable Fortune 500 corporations paid no net federal income tax from 2008 through 2011, and 26 of the 30 enjoyed negative federal income tax rates. That means they made more money after tax than before tax over four years, and overall, they had an average effective federal income tax rate of negative 3.1% between 2008 and 2011. All the while, Romney travels around the country telling voters his plan to stimulate the economy and create jobs is to cut corporate tax rates while Republicans cannot allow a vote for $1 billion over five years to help real Veterans find jobs.
Another way of looking at Romney’s corporations-are-people who need to take responsibility for their lives, is if they paid the 35% corporate tax rate, they would have paid $78.3 billion over four years. Instead, they received $78.3 billion in taxpayer-funded subsidies or as Willard calls them for real people; entitlements. Perhaps Romney needs to reassess his assertion that corporations are people because if real “people who do not pay income taxes” are parasites and need to learn to take responsibility for their lives, then his corporation-people have to start taking responsibility for their lives. The difference is glaring to any human being with half a brain; Romney does not profit from 47% of Americans who do not pay income taxes, and it explains his plan to raise taxes on the poor to pay for his tax cuts if he prevails in November. The idea behind cutting corporate taxes is to increase his wealth that he will hide in offshore accounts. It is high time for Romney to get some continuity in his “people who do not pay income taxes” are parasites meme because the real parasites are his corporations-are-people, and not Veterans, senior citizens, or the working poor
Dear Easy-12
Your points and facts are right to the point, and I couldn't agree with you more. What worries me in all of these arguments I read; are so many people who come to the defense of Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan. They do it without facts or rational. This is so dangerous in that we fought one recent war (Iraq) that took so many lives and left tens of thousands with serious physical and emotional problems. Yet, the very congress lead by the Republicans that voted to put us into this war, have acted in the same way; made decisions based on that same lack of rational and facts.
I wish that these same people who write these opinions would only take the time you did and writing your comments; maybe they could reflect just a little and come to realize the better path for this nation. But they won't, simply because they like to live in their world of sound bites lead by the nose of a congress lead by the Republicans who are so full of bias and hatered for a man who truly cares for the average American, including the ones who will not even vote for him.
Do you all work with Al Sharpton Camp?"
No but you work for the Koch brothers and just can't seem to earn that 5 cents a word pay, Don't worry panhead when Obama wins you won't get kicked off your entitlements only the GOP are that low as to con you out of your vote then leave you defenseless to corporations ripping you off of every dime they can squeeze out of you.
Funny that when you do research and post facts, Whomit, that it just boggles their minds. Good one, Easy!
Hemi do you work at all?
One of the things that really caught my attention while listening to the romney tape at his $50,000.00 per plate fund raiser was the emphasis he put on the word "entitled"!
I have also heard that after his Univision interveiw his handlers came out afterward and said that what he said about being for the 100% in the interveiw was a joke and not his real veiw on the subjects! Big surprise-not!
obama finally admits it was a terror attack so what does he do say sorry,, rite after his 8000 dollar a bottle wine. dinner fundraiser.
jimmy-4070096
I dont give a crap about the $50,000.00---$8,000.00 part! I put that part in to point to which of the etch-a-scetch speaches from romney I was refering to so you can stick your comment in your ear!
My point was he said he didnt speak well and what he said was taken out of context!!! Dont think so! If you listen to "how" he speaks he was saying "exactly" how he feels about 47% of this country!
As ann says "STOP, JUST STOP" she says you should be glad you have him! I know I sure am glad you have him! THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!!!! romney/ryan the gift that keeps giving!!!
Can anyone remember George Walker Bush talking about the haves and have nots? I've looked for the video but can't find it. Someone should put a compose a video of all the politicians that have expressed the destain for the so called have nots.
Talk about outsourcing jobs. Have you people given any thought to whats going to happen if Obamas redistribution is carried out. Ya think unemployment is bad now, just wait. What countries are going to benefit from the riches migration from the US?
We have never worried about redistribution. Because when we talk about it, it takes on a whole different meanining than when THE REPUBLICANS BROUGHT IT UP. Reps are just using the words, of a really old speech to defend the most resent bunggles of their own FEARFUL leader, the willard. A reminder also that the lies that r and r tell about the bank rupt SS are just that. LIES.
The people in the House and Senate are so committed to Grover Norquist and their hatred of Obama, that they will not provide for our Vetrans. They will not help the American People. God Help us!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I am not upset about what Romney said because after all is said and done it is the truth, something that neither party wants to admit. But Romney stood by his comments whichs is more than I can say about the President. First he preaches Hope and Change then he says that you can't change Washington from the inside...
Fool me once shame on you, fool me twice shame on me. Your time is up Mr. President the people will make the change...
I believe when the President says it must be changed from the outside, he is talking about us, the American People. If we sit by and let the Lawmakers sit on their hands and do nothing, it's our fault. Shame on us!!!!
What truth is that? The truth is the wealthy are the ones who believe that they are entitled to everything and do little to no work to get those entitlements. You tea bagged republican workers seem to believe that the wealthy give a second thought to you, whats rather telling is the people supporting robme show just how little the wealthy think about you but then you think they are talking about others and not you, reality is you are just a parasite to them but they need you to elect people they hand pick for you to vote for. The poor do not live off the fat of the land as your bigotry tells you, its a struggle worse then trying to make ends meet on a low wage job. What numbs nuts that whine about the poor don't seem to grasp is if you think living off 50k a year is hard imagine trying to live off less the 10k's a year. Oh yeah that is also right you believe the Reagan welfare queen lie.
Number one Ed, Romney is not suffering in the polls. Stop lying on you TV and radio show. If you don't, pretty soon, you will not have any viewers or listeners. All you have now is your few blind followers anyway. Lowest rated show on the lowest rated network......BSNBC.
Another thing Ed. Stop saying Republicans are jumping ship. That is a big lie. Just because you play one snippet of a sound bite of carefully chosen Republicans by you and your staff....and they say one comment about what Gov. Romney said...maybe they would have said it different or that is not their view...or something like that....DOES NOT MEAN THEY ARE JUMPING SHIP. Stop lying Ed.
Hey lefties and Ed...let me ask you this. Now finally ....Carney has admitted that this was a terrorist attack on our ambassador and the Seals.......Oh but Obama still says it all was because of the video............DOES THAT MEAN CARNEY IS JUMPING SHIP? Of course not. But Ed says whoever says anything different or a different way than Gov. Romney is jumping ship.
What a liar. What a spinner. Reporting lies to the the people who watch and listent to him....just to try to get people not to vote for Mitt Romney. Boy am I glad the number of people who do listen and watch Ed...you can count on one hand...and those people are far left progressive loonies. Thank goodness!!
Jenny, as always you're full of it. MSNBC is still the second highest rated network and The Ed Show is the second highest rated show in his time slot. It always tickles me when you just make things up forgetting that we all are on computers and can just google facts to check when you are lying (which is always). Ha Ha Ha!
Oh and Carney did say it was a terrorist attack in Libya, however, you do realize that there are now attacks and riots in 35 different countries that are inspired solely by the film right? No of course you don't because you are incapable of critical thought and completely resistant to fact. Ha Ha Ha!
Go back to watching Fox. I love how they showed you loons a picture of the POTUS sitting with a clown from 2009 and claimed it was from today and you guys actually believed it. You are so gullible. It was almost as funny as when Krauthammer told you guys that the White House knew the weather forecast months in advance during the DNC convention. Ha Ha Ha. Your guys really will believe anything wont you? Ha Ha Haaaaa!
Who do we believe, Jay Carney who says the embassy attacks were a terrorist attack or President Obama who says the attacks were a spontaneous attack brought on by a "shadowy" film maker from the United States? Do we charge this man with terrorism?
hmmmmmmm, I'd say momentary and spontaneous attacks.......and they seem in time to be just that. What farther proof do you need, chip?
You lefties are hilarious...especially Ed. I guess Tim Pawlenty is going to vote for Obama now. Ed, you are such a doofus!!
You say the Republicans are all in fighting about the statement Gov. Romney made. What a stupid statement to make. Ed, you are so desperate, its funny.
Are you going to talk about all of the "infighting" the Dems are doing about the attack on our embassy and the killing of our ambassador?.........AFTER ALL........Obama and Carney cannot even agree on why we were attacked!!!!!
I guess that is a bunch of infighting too right? I guess Carney is jumping off of the Obama train? Of course not. Just because they cannot agree on why we were attacked does NOT mean that Carney is "jumping the train"
Same goes true for we Republicans. STOP THE LYING Ed.
Thanks for the oppertunity to present these facts, John.

Romney Campaign In Shambles, According to Insider Accounts
No one plays the political blame game like the GOP and the finger pointing has begun.
The Romney campaign is self-destructing from within. That’s the message on Monday morning as a series of new reports based on insider glimpses of the campaign are surfacing and confirming what seasoned observers have sensed for weeks. But they are telling.
The biggest stone was cast by Politico, where a lengthy article described the chaos and missteps of the campaign in recent weeks, starting with the Republican National Convention speech that didn’t even mention America’s troops abroad. The Politico article lays the blame at the feet of top Romney campaign strategist, Stuart Stevens, who apparently tossed Romney’s original convention speech and hand-crafted the equally weak replacement
The article follows up by saying that Romney’s post-Convention bus tour to small towns along Route 66 was too small time, and taken together with his bland RNC speech and Clint Eastwood stealing the show, Romney is falling flat and not generating the momentum that his handlers seek.
No one quite matches the GOP when it comes to the blame game —whether firing away at Obama or at its own ranks. So the Politico is filled with that kind of inside ball fodder, which, anyone who has worked on a campaign will surely recognize as a natural part of the unnatural and grandiose process called presidential campaigning.
There are all kinds of misgivings about Romney the man. The backbiting implication is that the CEO "par excellence" is apparently not such a good CEO after all. He takes too much power for himself, vests too much authority in the hands of Stevens and a small coterie of uber advisors, and his campaign does not rely on checks and balances that come with a larger staff weighing in on matters of message, timing, media, and so on.
A presidential campaign is a bit like a Silicon Valley start-up, where everyone falls in love with the initial idea and then struggles to make it work, reinventing itself along the way. This reinvention phase is what’s drawing the attention of not just Politico, but other news sites, which are saying that after Romney's giant misstep on Libya last week, he will be be doubling down on hard-right social issues—as Buzzfeed labels it, “More God, less economy.”
That will be very curious to see unfold—a Romney campaign asserting its fundamentalist religious face as the U.S. is attacked abroad by Islamic religious fundamentalists. What’s really most intriguing about these accounts and others is they confirm exactly what most people intuitively feel about Romney—the real Mitt, whoever, whatever and whereever he is, is not what is being presented to the public—and Americans know it.
These articles describe how anonymous handlers are laboring over the words and messages delivered by Ryan and Romney, and, of course, the public can tell it's all hyped rhetoric, platitudes and cliches. Of course the Obama campaign and White House has its speechwriters too. But somehow, when Obama speaks, at least some of the time, you actually sense that he takes ownership of what he is saying. It’s not just acting.
Many political reporters thought the 2008 McCain-Palin campaign set some kind of a low bar for worst-run presidential campaigns. Well, in today’s lightning-speed news cycle and instant pundit judgments, it appears the Romney campaign is heading toward that record and might win that race.

Tim Pawlenty deserts Mitt Romney’s sinking ship
Washington : DC : USA | Sep 21,
2012 at 7:48 AM PDT
Speculations are rife that he is distancing himself from mitt Romney and is gearing up for a future President run, probably the next time round in 2016.
Some more popular recent and interesting reports –
Thankful mom....come on ...you are smarter than this...aren't you?
You know the drive by media is magnifying every disagreement among the GOP and saying they are all falling apart. What a stupid thing to say.
Yet when Obama and Carney cannot agree on why were were attacked.....you see no press on that? Isn't that interesting Thankful?
Wake up. Don't judge the Romney campaign by the left wing media sources.
If you do, you are going to wake up Nov. 7 in a very bad mood.
As soon as you start spuing the words "drive by media" you confirm yourself to be one of the limpball, hannity, bortz, colter, palin, bachman,fox low intelligence idiots and anyone with a working brain stops listening to you!
Lawmakers are now calling on President Obama to get his story straight on the embassy attacks. Jay Carney is saying one thing and the President is saying another on the talk show circuit. It appears that this will be President Obama's "deer in the headlights" moment as Bush on 9/11. Also, the Obama administration is running ads on Pakistani TV telling them it was caused by a film maker as opposed to being a coordinated attack by terrorists.
How the rats leave the ship in bad weather, ONLY a few days ago they were all behind Romney 100%, and now they don't want to be in the same room with him. Good support is a good thing to have when things turn bad, oh well they are just wolves in sheep clothing. Be aware of the flock.
James, no one is leaving Romney. Don't be sucked in by Ed's bloviating. He is not telling the truth to put it mildly. Just because you may not agree with a statement that was made or how it was made....DOES NOT mean you are jumping ship....getting off the train...however Ed put it. He is lying.
If what he says is true...you have tons of dems jumping off the Obama express just because they don't agree with all of his crap. Stop repeating Ed Schlitz. He does not speak the truth.
I mean, just like everyone has said...Jay Carney doesn't even agree with Obama on why we were attacked...does that mean he is jumping ship? No.......................same thing for the Republicans. Get with it James.
They're "evacuating" the train?
Well, it always was a bowel movement.
Ed Schultz....In regards to the motivations behind the embassy attacks, who is telling the truth...... Jay Carney/State Department or President Obama. Ed.....help us out on this one.
Boy, the lefties are silent on this blog on this one. I would be totally embarassed to if I were a follower of Ed and Obama. When Obama and Carney cannot agree on why we were attacked and Obama keeps saying the video.....what a shame. Bye Barack.
Im a little perplexed but I can't help wondering why Romney's dad George was allowed to run for the Repulican Presidential nomination ikn 1968. I only ring this up because of so much attention as to wher Pres. Obama was born. Yesterday I heard Mitt say in his campaign speech that his dad was born in Mexico. Wouldn't that disqualify him from becoming the POTUS
To:
Mitt Romney
It
doesn't matter if you are the Titanic. If you don't avoid the
icebergs, you're sunk anyway.
And even the rats will get off a sinking ship!
Former President Bill Clinton has an eloquent TV Ad that summarizes what works to make this country function, and how the republican'ts agenda failed miserably under the first Bush.
The official White House summary for George H.W. Bush states; " Despite unprecedented popularity from this military and diplomatic triumph, Bush
was unable to withstand discontent at home from a faltering economy, rising
violence in inner cities, and continued high deficit spending. In 1992 he lost
his bid for reelection to Democrat William Clinton.
Despite the personal issues of Pres. Bill Clinton, his White house biography states " He apologized to the nation for his actions and continued to have unprecedented popular approval ratings for his job as president."
And from the mess that George Bush Senior left, it is amusing that the White House Biography of George W. Bush states; "While John Adams had groomed his son to be president, George Bush, the 41st president, insisted he was surprised when the eldest of his six children became interested in politics, became governor of Texas, and then went on to the White House." Even George Senior thought his son wasn't cut out for the OPUS. I didn't think so either.
Now, after just 3 years President Obama is trying like Bill Clinton to clean up the mess left by the Republicans. It will take a while to do it, but hopefully, Mitt Romney will help a lot of republican'ts lose their seats in the House and Senate, and give President Obama the edge he needs to turn America around.
And, Oh yes, I am one of those 47% who after having over 35 years of work and having chosen to use my knowledge and skills to work in areas(lower paying) that would have the most impact on peoples lives and the communities and states I lived in, am now receiving my handout of SSDI.
And I am proud of my life and thankful for the Presidents who cared about us hard working Americans.
Note that 'lower class' and 'middle class' are the American's with 'Class'. The 'rich' and the 'wealthy' do not have 'class'. Just a little humor. Oh, yes I did leave out the 'upper crust'. They are crusty. Yes, there are people with money who know what community and America is about. They are included as American's with 'class'
The Reagan that the Republicans should have been listening to is the late president's son, Ron Reagan, Jr of Seattle, WA. He aptly summed up the present-day party when he called Sarah Palin what she really is: A supreme idiot! The Tea Party what they are: Ignorant, stupid extremists! Romney what he is: An untested-less-than-stellar candidate that is nowhere near ready for the presidency; he hasn't a clue; and truly NOT at all presidential!!!!!!
Republicans want to ignore these truths because of their hatred for President Obama!
Take some advice from this independent voter -- Continue your hate; ignore the truths; disintegrate your party into nothing! The country will be better off without your stupidity!!!
To all the drivers of the band wagons that were gullible enough to fall for Mr Romney's bitter, low-down negative ads against his opponents during the primary season -- there's a group over there just laughing their arrrrzzzzes off. They've seen enough of the clown show and wish to leave the circus tent.
Please pick up the following passengers: Messrs Santorum, Perry, Gingrich, Cain, Paul, Huntsman and a Mrs Bachman. They are laughing so hard with I-told-you-so glee, they will soon hurt themselves from the laughter pain ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! !
Take them over to Ann Coulter's place -- she's having a prayer vigil ! ! ! ! ! ! !
Then on to vanSusteren’s place for cocktails: She's mixing an elixir to regurgitate those stupid pills!
Next stop, dinner with O’Reilly & Hannity ! ! ! ! ! -- Main course: Broiled CROW ! ! ! ! !
BC - Ann Coulter sounds like she thinks she runs the Republican party. Her recent outburst on Fox made me say simply"who does she think she is".
