Comments on: Ann Coulter’s Disastrous Political Strategy: ‘Take Away Women’s Right To Vote’ http://thinkprogress.org/2007/10/04/coulter-gardner/ Thu, 26 Nov 2009 23:22:23 -0500 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.5 hourly 1 By: bush_forever http://thinkprogress.org/2007/10/04/coulter-gardner/comment-page-10/#comment-4119611 bush_forever Mon, 15 Oct 2007 17:13:21 +0000 http://edit.thinkprogress.org/2007/10/04/coulter-gardner/#comment-4119611 There's actually a movement to see that President Bush refuses to step down from power in January 2009. Our hope is that he declares a national emergency due to the war on terror, and declares himself President indefinitely. Of course, we'd probably have to lock up or execute a few million Democrats, but that would be the price we'd have to pay to ensure our freedoms from terrorists.

If Ann is talking about woman not voting, she in her paranoid fashion is speaking of herself. Considering she should be incarcerated for voting in the wrong district when she was registered in another. Being implanted Floridian for reasons beyond the sun, she is making herself a comfortable law breaking citizen. SHe should be banned from voting for life while the rest of the woman should not only vote but include one more vote for Ann Coulters representation.

The Coultergeist might like it since she's got to be all for law and order, yeah? So what group in society commits the vast bulk of criminal offenses, including murder? What group swells the prison cells? Men. Therefore let's have a tax on men to offset the damage they do to society. Make every man pay, say, $100/year for the privilege of being a man. Then use that money to build more jails. Ann, please feel free to steal this idea. Here’s another cool idea. The Coultergeist might like it since she’s got to be all for law and order, yeah?

If, as Ms. Gardner says, an office seeker ignores 50 million voters “at their peril,” and these 50 million voters consist of mostly those who are “more likely not to have health care, are economically stressed, and are solely responsible for their child’s care,” is she not implying that these 50 million voters will help elect a politician who, as Ms. Coulter says, “will pay for health care and tuition and day care — and here, what else can we give you, soccer moms?” The argument is not really about one’s personal tastes in another’s appearance and I imagine that no one really cares about that. If you think that a person doesn’t have the right to keep what they have earned and their earnings should be forcefully taken from them at the threat of incarceration or at the point of a gun and doled out to those who have contributed nothing to society except the animalistic rutting ability to spread one’s legs and punch out little innocent babies, at the very least you should stand up for what you believe and just say so. There is nothing “bad” about being either right or left wing; the “bad” comes into play when you can’t admit (or you’re secretly ashamed) of what you believe.
