Last Thursday on the Fox News show Hannity, Ann Coulter appeared in order to respond to Chris Christie’s speech at CPAC. (See video embedded below.)
HANNITY: I think Cruz gave a good speech today.
COULTER: Um, well I noticed in your, when you were showing all the CPAC speakers, the big famous ones, um, every single one of them is for amnesty. And that’s something you’ll notice about this year’s CPAC, it’s not, no anti-amnesty speakers allowed. I will be giving the rebuttal by the way, at 2pm,
HANNITY: Ted Cruz, Rand Paul are against amnesty.
COULTER: Rand Paul, I didn’t see him.
HANNITY: And Marco Rubio, same thing, Marco Rubio changed his
COULTER: (Raising her voice over Hannity) Marco Rubio wrote that bill, and it passed!
HANNITY: And he said he regretted it.
COULTER: And he pushed it.
HANNITY: Let me finish, he now says he regrets it, do you not believe him?
COULTER: A little late now!
HANNITY: I agree, but I’m just telling you where he stands now.
COULTER: Cruz is for a path to legalization and incidentally, I don’t think Chris Christie has become stupid, he came out for amnesty, he did it in a lot smarter way than those guys did.
So just in case you misunderstood, Coulter was driving the conversation toward smearing Ted Cruz, praising Rand Paul, and of course we all know how she feels about Marco Rubio, what with her recent kook comment that Republicans hate black people.
The first time I ever heard the phrase, “path to legalization” was from Rand Paul, actually. This Washington Post article from a year ago detailed his comments. Since then, he has backed down, and eventually voted against the proposal...

Good for Coulter. Rubio is a straight up amnesty shill. Paul uses more weasel words, but also favors the massive legalization of illegals.
Sarah Palin has been an amnesty supporter per her 2008 interview with Jorge Ramos of Univision and subsequent statements.
Q: Should undocumented immigrants all should be deported?
Palin: There is no way that in the US we would roundup every illegal immigrant - there are about 12 million of the illegal immigrants - not only economically is that just an impossibility but that’s not a humane way anyway to deal with the issue.
Q: Do you then favor an amnesty for the 12 million undocumented immigrants?
Palin: No, I do not. Not total amnesty. You know, people have got to follow the rules. We have got to make sure that there is equal opportunity and those who are here legally should be first in line for services being provided and those opportunities that this great country provides.
Q: So you support a path to citizenship for undocumented immigrants?
Palin: I do because I understand why people would want to be in America. To seek the safety and prosperity, the opportunities, the health that is here. It is so important that yes, people follow the rules so that people can be treated equally and fairly in this country.
Coulter is your average saturday night trollup. She plays the tune of who ever she is with that evening.
Before 16, she’ll be back under Crispy Creme’s desk!
He is against a path to citizenship, but I have not seen anything where he is against legalization, which is amnesty.
NumbersUSA gives him a overall Report card grade of A+. Just 3% of Congress gets such a high mark.
The Rinos plan to take a run at passing it just after the elections as a final “Spit in your face” to the Tea Party conservative when the GOP retakes the Senate.
First act of the new congress should be repeal of any law passed in the lame duck session.
I’ve read the On the Issues stuff. Very thin on what an actual policy would look like though.
Thanks for the report card. Rand gets a B+ by comparison.
Rubio did write the bill and he did push the bill.
He must have found out lots of Cuban Americans and conservative Rubio backers dropped him like a hot tamale.
As far as I am concerned he is only fit to sell used cars.
Agreed.
What was Ron Paul’s rating, it seems to me like Jr. gets his policy out of Sr. play book.
I like and support Ted Cruz. I have been following closely what he says on the issue of immigration as part of the grassroots immigration group that I head. I lobby on the Hill and have been dealing with the issue since 2007. I have had one on one briefings with Eric Cantor, George Allen, and Ed Gillespie among others. The politicians and the pollsters have been using Orwellian language to fool the people while doing the bidding of their corporate paymasters.
I am hopeful about Ted Cruz, but I am also wary because he has not definitively addressed how he would deal with the illegals here. I watched all of his debates when he was running for the Senate in Texas. He artfully avoided comments on how to deal with the lawbreakers. NumbersUSA gives him a report card of A+, which is very significant for me. I just hope he continues on the current path.
The changing loyalties of a media personality are not really very important. I'm a lot more concerned about the disloyalty of politicians who would pass laws that essentially merge our homeland with Mexico. So media personality Coulter is flaky? Who cares? Her point about the current crop of GOP stars being open-border amnesty shills is correct.
This nagging issue gives me complete cognitive dissonance. Does not compute. I can't reconcile it.
Bush had appointees and staff also from Goldman.
Goldman is part of the permanent government.
I think he is too. His political timing and acumen are excellent, so he must have a reason for not being more forthright about it at this time.
My guess is that the House wants to avoid the issue—right now, at least—and he doesn’t want to rock their boat. He’s not afraid to rock boats but doesn’t do it when he doesn’t have to.
Let’s see what happens as the primaries start. He has said he won’t endorse opponents to incumbent Republicans, but that leaves some room to move.
i was surprised when Hannity said Rubio changed his position... did he really? when? he regrets pushing what he pushed? or pushing it the way he did?
Thank you for all that you are doing on this issue. I share your hopes about Cruz coming out on the right side on this. I hope he will make a statement before the November election, because waiting until after, if the lame ducks pass it, is avoiding the issue. Something has to be done before that happens.
He voted against his own bill.
So is the giant preying mantis doing another publicity tour for some lousy ghost written book meant to be bought up by the pallet and dumped into a landfill by her think tank handlers?
Ted Cruz Ping!
If you want on/off this ping list, please let me know.
Please beware, this is a high-volume ping list!
