Why I Love Ann Coulter

Why I Love Ann Coulter - Sure, she's as subtle as an M1 tank in a feminist caucus meeting, but Ann Coulter sometimes fires off a line that sums things up better than the rest of the landed punditry put together.

When we were at peace, Democrats wanted to raise taxes. Now there's a war, so Democrats want to raise taxes. When there was a surplus, Democrats wanted to raise taxes. Now that there is a mild recession, Democrats want to raise taxes. There is perennially some sector of the economy Teddy Kennedy is longing to socialize and this, too, will require raising taxes.
So it was interesting that Sen. Tom Daschle, D-S.D., recently said of the Bush tax cut: "Ideology dictated that – tax cuts, no matter what the circumstances." At least Republicans admit it.

Which has hilarious parallels here in Minnesota, now that we're fighting our budget battle. In 2000, we had a surplus, so it was time to raise taxes. Today, we're in danger of a deficit - time to raise taxes!
Democrats - when is it not time to raise taxes?
