Ann Coulter: Republicans will lose "a lot of seats" this election

Fox News ^ | 7/27/06

[Recovering_Democrat]

Ann Coulter just on Cavuto being interviewed.

She wanted to "remind the viewers" that the normal election cycle is for the party in the White House to lose seats. She expects this election to be one where Republicans lose seats. She added "a lot of seats" before Neil moved on to another question.

[TheKidster]

It depends upon how he stand on other issues. He should get credit for doing that, I expected a huge outcry and barely heard a gasp from the Republicans in Congress.

I'd vote for Joe Lieberman before I'd vote for Arlen Spector and other Rino's. At least you know what you are getting in that case. Your guy...I have no idea. I would hazard a guess that he is in agreement with many republicans when it comes to expanding the Fed, backing special interests in globalization over defending economic sovreignty and bringing as much pork home as possible.

[TheKidster]

I agree, get rid of the incumbants that aren't tranparently conservative. Keeping the same old fools in power isn't going to further the conservative cause. If it would then it would have happened already!
They didn't do thier job, so they need to be replaced with someone who realizes that he better do his job or he'll be out on his @ss next election also.
The alternative is to reward bad behavior.

[durasell]

My congressperson is a RAT. He immediately denounced Kelo. Should I vote for nim?





In different forms, that's the question that gonna be asked several million times this year.

[beeler]

You're right. I would like to "do something" rather than just complain. However, I don't think the something I would do would involve voting at the national level in the general election. Of course I always vote in the primary, but sadly, the people I would support would have no chance of being supported by the mainstream RINOs who control the party. Frankly, I believe that we have no chance of changing the country democratically, at the ballot box. Rather, we need a "revolution" metaphorically, and probably in a generation or two, when people wake up to what's happening, literally. What can I do now? Have a lot of children, raise them properly, un-indoctrinated by the government schools, teach them the real history of our country and founding, teach them (and myself) to live a self-sufficient lifestyle, and work to network with others who feel similarly. There are many things conservative patriots could and should do to take our country back. I just don't think voting for RINOs or supporting the best of two evil parties is one of them. Thanks for your passion, I appreciate it and share it, but I just think it could be better directed than by hoping and trusting a Washington insider to "do the right thing." When it comes to the liberty of my family and my own God given rights, you better bet I'm a purist.

[Warren_Piece]

My point is that there's a lot of hot air (on our side) about "the republicans". But when it comes down to it, those doing most of the complaining aren't talking about THEIR pub candidate specifically. Heck, most of the time they don't even KNOW who their congresional candidate is!

I want to see polling of individual races.

Full disclosure: My congressman is Jim Cooper (D). I've been searching for weeks to find out who's running against him (nothing on the TN GOP site!). He's about as conservative as you could hope for the 5th congressional district in TN. (Not that I'll vote for him). I'm voting for Bryant for senate and whichever pub wins the primary in the general election. I'll die before I'll vote for someone from the Ford family!

[durasell]

Yep. You're correct. At least I'm in agreement with you.

But I'd add, everyone talks about "the base." I don't think "the base" is gonna win this election. This election will be fought on the frothy top -- those voters who can go either way.

[Conservativegreatgrandma]

Well, my congressman is Steve King. Do you want me to vote for his opponent, an ultra-left liberal?

I've worked like heck to help him get elected. You're better off because he's there, too. You need to be thankful we have people like Steve King in congress and you need to be working to get him as much help as possible.

I couldn't agree with you more about your goals. I want the exact same thing. For now, I know of no other way than through the ballot box.

Today's modern-day Democrats seem to have the mentality of children. They cannot see the long-term consequences of actions. Agreed, there are too many Republicans like them but every R in a legislature or congress keeps an R in a committee chair. We're far better off with RINOs in elected positions that Democrats. I don't like RINOs any better than you but this is the imperfect world in which we live. In the mean time, I guess there are times in which I will just have to hold my nose and vote for a RINO in a general election than vote for a Democrat. I will NEVER vote for a Democrat.

[Warren_Piece]

One more thing I don't understand. If "the base" is mad at Bush over immigration, why punish the one body in government that's on their side and doing their will? The pubbies in the house have it right on immigration, why would "the base" throw them out? Now, the senate is another story...

[Conservativegreatgrandma]

The Senate is a mess but we're still better off with those RINOs there than not there. They need to be replaced through the primary process.

We had some very lefty RINOs thrown out in our primaries this summer on the state level. The process worked. This has to be a wake up call to RINOs.

"As I am a scientist I confirm she is actually right in saying that a 'belief' in science makes one doubt God or 'Divine Providence' as historically referenced by many scientists."

I think that was Coulter's point. But I also can't help but wonder, by checking the sign-up date of the poster you are responding to, if this is another shill for some of the whackadoo people from the Crevo threads. Some of them really got their panties in a twist because those chapters in Coulter's book were primarily aimed at them.
One thing to note in the theme of the attacks is that it has switched from nitpicking certain points to Coulter being 'anti-science'.

[MindBender26]

One of the problems is that the Dems are smarter (or more cunning if you will) that we are in three ways.

#1. They realize that to govern you must first get elected. Governing and being elected to govern are two very different things, but getting elected must be first. Dems do what that have to do to get elected before they try to apply their socialist beliefs to govern us.

#2. They can be very bottom line. They look at all a candidate's good and bad points (as they see them) and then ask: "is this candidate better than the Republican (for them)?" Too many Conservatives go down a candidate's list of positions until they find one they don't like, then complain and sit home because "he isn't conservative enough." Bottom line; effectively we have binary choices; the R or the D.

#3. They are willing to disguise their positions to get elected, because they know they must! Look at the new "Centrist" Hillary. She is and was a far-left radical leftist who has embraced the PLO, the Black Panthers, Castro and the rest of the "Hate America" groups since college, but you would never know it from her current "Elect Middle-Of-The-Road Me President" statements.

[MindBender26]

that we are = than we are.

[Kuksool]

Point #3 should be lie about their positions.

The Far Left is trying to scare swing voters into thinking anti-gay marriage referendums brings cuts in health care, education, job losses, and high gas prices.

[1035rep]

No thanks. I'm not willing to hand it over to the moonbats. If the moonbats ever get back in power the terrorists will be issuing the terms of our surrender.

Nobody with any sense would think handing it over to the liberals would advance the conservative agenda.  We have at least two SCOTUS picks in the near future and that alone is worth fighting for.

[TheKidster]

You don't realize that it has already been handed over to the moonbats! Year after year DC moves more and more to the left no matter who is in power. Doing things you way will get us into a socialist state a few years later but it will go that way for sure no matter who (R or D) is in control.
Why does the minority party have so much power and influence? Republicrats control both houses and the executive and they still can't get anything useful done.
Where are the states' rights? Why am I still being taxed on my income? Why do I have to beg the state for a permit to carry a weapon to protect myself? Why can't my community decide if we want cancer patients to be able to eat pot brownies during chemo to help them? Why can't I put my kid into the best school I choose? Why can't I fire a crappy employee without being dragged into court? Why does the government get to tax the hell out of gas? Why do I have to get a license from the state to sell liquor or cut hair for a living? Why do people like Pablo Escobar enjoy a government enforced monopoly for thier product without paying any taxes? And finally, why can the police stop me, search me, break in my door without announcing themselves and ransack my home?

[MindBender26]

And they will call their gay marriage laws "The American Family Preservation Act" !

It appears that you feel you are arguing from a weak position. If you felt you had a strong position you would respond with statements that you feel prove me incorrect. But you don't - you point out my signup date.

"First, she is wrong we will most likely gain seats. Second she must be getting her election info from the same people who helped her write her anti science diatribe.

"Well she did spend 3 chapters in her latest book trying to prove that a belief in science makes one a God hating liberal.

That didn't exactly help the conservative cause."

"I like science, as one can see from my nic.

It isn't bashing to point out that Ann Colter got most everything in those three chapters incorrect. If I was bashing her I would be bashing her on other topics, but I am not. I disagree with her on those issues and I tend to let people know when I disagree - it's just the way I am.

I am sure Ann Colter is a nice person, but she appears to not know very much about science.

Been reading freerepublic for years - just didn't have the time to make an account till now. It takes time and effort to start a small business and having a FR posting account would have taken up too much of my time as it can be rather addicting."

[RFC_Gal]

My understand of FreeRepublic etiquette is that you include the person you are talking about in the To: line of your reply.

Am I incorrect in this assumption?

[gentlestrength]

Ye godless Ann haters better leave my friend alone

[tonysamm]

Sorry but that's a weak reply. I could say the same about intelligent design, but then I would commit the same error.

Suffice to say that science is the methodology used to "prove" theories with results. Since there are no proof results to prove evolution then it's just theory (as Ms. Coulter rightfully states).
