'STRAIGHT TALK' EXPRESS TAKES SCENIC ROUTE TO TRUTH
January 23, 2008


John McCain is Bob Dole minus the charm, conservatism and youth. Like McCain, pollsters assured us that Dole was the most "electable" Republican. Unlike McCain, Dole didn't lie all the time while claiming to engage in Straight Talk.

Of course, I might lie constantly too, if I were seeking the Republican presidential nomination after enthusiastically promoting amnesty for illegal aliens, Social Security credit for illegal aliens, criminal trials for terrorists, stem-cell research on human embryos, crackpot global warming legislation and free speech-crushing campaign-finance laws.

I might lie too, if I had opposed the Bush tax cuts, a marriage amendment to the Constitution, waterboarding terrorists and drilling in Alaska.

And I might lie if I had called the ads of the Swift Boat Veterans for Truth "dishonest and dishonorable."

McCain angrily denounces the suggestion that his "comprehensive immigration reform" constituted "amnesty" -- on the ludicrous grounds that it included a small fine. Even the guy who graduated fifth from the bottom of his class at the U.S. Naval Academy didn't fall for this a few years ago.

In 2003, McCain told The Tucson Citizen that "amnesty has to be an important part" of any immigration reform. He also rolled out the old chestnut about America's need for illegals, who do "jobs that American workers simply won't do."

McCain's amnesty bill would have immediately granted millions of newly legalized immigrants Social Security benefits. He even supported allowing work performed as an illegal to count toward Social Security benefits as recently as a vote in 2006 -- now adamantly denied by Mr. Straight Talk.

McCain keeps boasting that he was "the only one" of the Republican presidential candidates who supported the surge in Iraq.

What is he talking about? All Republicans supported the surge -- including Mitt Romney and Rudy Giuliani. The only ones who didn't support it were McCain pals like Sen. Chuck Hagel. Indeed, the surge is the first part of the war on terrorism that caused McCain to break from Hagel in order to support the president.

True, McCain voted for the war. So did Hillary Clinton. Like her, he then immediately started attacking every other aspect of the war on terrorism. (The only difference was, he threw in frequent references to his experience as a POW, which currently outnumber John Kerry's references to being a Vietnam vet.)

Thus, McCain joined with the Democrats in demanding O.J. trials for terrorists at Guantanamo, including his demand that the terrorists have full access to the intelligence files being used to prosecute them.

These days, McCain gives swashbuckling speeches about the terrorists who "will follow us home." But he still opposes dripping water down their noses. He was a POW, you know. Also a member of the Keating 5 scandal, which you probably don't know, and won't -- until he becomes the Republican nominee.

Though McCain was far from the only Republican to support the surge, he does have the distinction of being the only Republican who voted against the Bush tax cuts. (Also the little lamented Sen. Lincoln Chafee, who later left the Republican Party.) Now McCain claims he opposed the tax cuts because they didn't include enough spending cuts. But that wasn't what he said at the time.

To the contrary, in 2001, McCain said he was voting against Bush's tax cuts based on the idiotic talking point of the Democrats. "I cannot in good conscience," McCain said, "support a tax cut in which so many of the benefits go to the most fortunate among us at the expense of middle-class Americans who need tax relief."

McCain started and fanned the vicious anti-Bush myth that, before the 2000 South Carolina primary, the Bush campaign made phone calls to voters calling McCain a "liar, cheat and a fraud" and accusing him of having an illegitimate black child.

On the thin reed of a hearsay account, McCain immediately blamed the calls on Bush. "I'm calling on my good friend George Bush," McCain said, "to stop this now. He comes from a better family. He knows better than this."

NO one has called him a liberal.......Rino perhaps, just because he compromised with some Taxachussetts libs....but not liberal, not by any stretch of the imagination.

Well, not exactly NO ONE...

The folks at American Right To Life (RTL) are upset with Ann about Romney's previous pro-abortion positions:

Paraphrasing what Fred Thompson said about Mitt when he was out here in California last month,

"We come from a faith tradition of welcoming converts.

We just don't usually put one in the pulpit right way."

Reagan had core convictions. Romney has none.

And who should she support?

How about none of them?

But, to support a man that is an habitual liar and who has flip-flopped on virtually every issue in a span of a couple of years is the worst choice one could make. One has to give up all of one's integrity to do that.

It's mind-boggling hypocrisy for Coulter to support someone like Romney when she has criticized Democrats for doing the same thing he has done.

Further, Willard has the MOST liberal record of any candidate running.

In 2002, Mitt Romney leveraged his post-Olympics popularity to get elected governor of Massachusetts. As the state's first self-styled CEO governor, he helped steer the state through a fiscal crisis. But critics say he overstates the feat and understates the side effects, including big fee hikes.

 

Romney defeated Shannon O'Brien for the Governor position in Massachusetts because she was a liberal and he was conservative. But you are not interested in "FACTS."

 

You can go find some more  Boston Globe stuff  here  to peruse or ignore  that might help you to continue your unending assault on probably the man who will be our next President.

Tooo youuuu tooo!!

[grey_whiskers]

Thanks for the post.

Coming out of AZ as I am, I have an idea to show our "support" for McCain.

He asked how many of us would be willing to pay $50 for a head of lettuce -- this being the price he arbitrarily set per head if illegals from Mexico weren't available for harvesting.

Let's all get together and mail our "$50 donation" today!

Full Disclosure: Ann, why aren't you dating Rush Limbaugh already?

Cheers!

I'll not adopt your liberal-loving ways.

OOOOOOOO KKKKKKKKKK

Watch out or I’ll post some swiss cheese with your head in it, lol.

[lonevoice]

Ann Coulter hits it out of the park with this one. Well worth clicking on the link and reading the whole article.

[Marysecretary]

Ann really needs a new hair style.

[LifeOrGoods?]

Right again Ann. So right.

[LifeOrGoods?]

She gets turned on by the uniform I see.

[LifeOrGoods?]

Ann has a lot of gall supporting that RINO and acting as if he is somehow better than the other RINOs.

Ann's obviously a lot brighter than you buba.

The folks at American Right To Life (RTL) are upset with Ann about Romney's previous pro-abortion positions:

Who cares what that 4 month old wacko Huckabee front says! If the National Right to Life Committee said something like this, I'd pay attention.

[PghBaldy]

I’ve heard commentators (Repubs) say people support McCain for his “character.” I would like evidence of said “character.” Ann did a GREAT job of describing this person.

[RonDog]

If the National Right to Life Committee said something like this, I'd pay attention...

Wow.

I did not realize that the "AMERICAN" RTL group was different from the "NATIONAL" group.

FWIW, I am a recovering FredHead, who is trying to like Mitt -- but I am not yet sold on the strength of his newfound convictions.

Jim Robinson is also still VERY concerned about Mitt, and I value HIS opinion as much as I do Ann's.

[Ol' Sparky]

Right, she's a lot smarter than me for supporting a man that was the #8 RINO in the nation, according to Human Events magazine, in 2005.

And, of course, idiots like you are mind-numbed robots and follow right along with any propaganda the "new" media gives you.
