Ann flip flops as much as Rubio and Romney. She gives me whiplash trying to follow her principles.
My point is that nobody has a perfect 100% correct record on conservative issues. Anybody can be wrong on a particular issue.
Which is why although I agree with Trump backers about the importance of fixing the immigration problem and building a wall, I don't trust Trump. His claim to conservative bona fides is pretty thin. His boneheaded and self-serving stance on Kelo vs. Connecticut sets him apart from every other conservative pol as far as I know.
Why Coulter is backing a loose cannon like The Donald while she formerly backed a far more cautious pol like Romney is a mystery to me. And you're probably right...she loves attention.
To add, I still think Romney had the best and least expensive solution to illegal immigration. Just cut off all the freebies, and they will leave or never come in the first place. No EBT cards (Yes they have them, when some of the dreamers have been arrested, they are found with EBT cards in their pockets). No free emergency room visits. No free public school. No anything, let them survive purely on the cash in their pocket. No need to build walls, because the problem will take care of itself. At the least, they will leave the wife, kids, and whole extended family back south of the border. They are who reach deep down into the rest of us’ pocket.
You are right for the most part. My problem with Coulter is if she is given the choice between advancing Conservatism or advancing herself while hurting the cause, she would choose the later every time.
I wonder if this idiot from the Nat’l Review knows exatly WHAT an “assault weapon” is???
True “assault weapons” are already banned for sale except for licensed FFA dealers...
A true “assault weapon is a fully automatic weapon...period...
An AR-15 semi-auto is no difference functionally that a Remington 7400 hunting rifle...Except it looks “scary”!!! *LOL*
When she needed to sell her new book about immigration?
I think that is when she changed horses IMO.
No Cooke, the “collective insanity” is always voting for the professional politicians in the monolithic GOP and expecting different results.
My position for stopping Illegal immigration is clear.
But Ann is so focused, she doesn’t want us discussing Planned Parenthood or Hillary.
It’s quite amazing that Ann and many conservatives, including many on FR, would support a man who is pro-choice, supports funding PP, is for a wealth tax, single-payer, anti-gun, voted and supported Democrats, does not take his supposed Christians faith seriously, and whose wife would be the first first-lady that was a porn star.
I understand the frustration and anger with the GOP and the political class in general. I understand that Trump is a giant middle-finger to that regime, but to actually defend this man as a Conservative is to betray the very things Conservatives stand for. Ann and Hannity should be ashamed of themselves.
Don’t know anything about the porn star charge. Trump has been pro life for a few years, does not support funding PP as long as they perform abortions. I heard his speech at the NRA convention. His sons are big hunters, so He is pro second amendment.
I would not say that he doesn’t take his faith seriously. He was brought up by a devout mother, still attends church regularly and made sure his kids did as well.
As far as supporting Democrats, any businessman in his league is always going to support whomever is in power because of business.
