[Vision2020] Coulter's Show-Biz Politics Represent Few

[rvrcowboy]

ANN COULTER ROCKS!!!!!  Tom Thumb is no Republican, he is a dyed in the wool
liberal.  Liberals hate Ann because she tells the truth about them and they
can find no where to hide from it.  Ann may not be a mainstream Republican
but she is much closer to it than Tom Thumb ever was, or ever will be.

Tom is, and will remain, a whinny-tit liberal.  Liberals hate the fact they
don't have a spokesman like Ann on their side.  The closest they can come to
it is the pathetic Michael Moore...  Of course they think it is funny when
Moore calls names and goes on with his "Bush lied" theme of crap that he
can't support.

The reason liberals can't come up with a legitimate speaker like Ann Coulter
is because without the truth behind such a person, they lack legitimacy.
Without facts, no one wants to listen to the whinning and sobbing of a bunch
of loosers.

Stick to molesting the birds, Tom Thumb.  You are much better at that than
politics.

Dick.....
