Ann Coulter: ALVIN GREENE: THE MOST QUALIFIED DEMOCRAT I'VE EVER SEEN (Dems Gobsmacked!)

ALVIN GREENE: THE MOST QUALIFIED DEMOCRAT I'VE EVER SEEN
June 16, 2010


Democrats have decided that Alvin Greene's surprise victory in the South Carolina Democratic senatorial primary must be the result of a Republican dirty trick.

Greene beat Vic Rawl, a former state representative and judge, with a whopping 60 percent of the vote in last Tuesday's primary, despite Greene's having no job, no house, no campaign website, no campaign headquarters -- indeed, no campaign. Other than paying the $10,000 filing fee, Greene seems to have put no effort into the race whatsoever.



But he does have one thing Rawl doesn't have: In the grand tradition of legendary Democrats such as Teddy Kennedy, Greene has a felony arrest. (Greene's inexperience really shows here: Democrats usually wait until after they're elected to show pornography to college girls.)

So this is not good for the Democrats. Naturally, therefore, they're blaming Republicans.

Rep. James Clyburn, D-S.C., has demanded that the U.S. attorney investigate, ominously suggesting that Greene may be a Republican plant. Clyburn is the third-ranking Democrat in the House.

MSNBC's Keith Olbermann interviewed Greene as if he had Lee Harvey Oswald in the dock. Chris Matthews asked guests: "Do you think this has the look of a dirty trick -- sort of a Watergate number?" Watergate, you'll recall, involved the Nixon White House trying to persuade a mildly retarded black man to run for the Senate.

Obama senior adviser David Axelrod said Greene was not a "legitimate" candidate and called his victory "a mysterious deal." (Yes, how could a young African-American man with strange origins, suspicious funding, shady associations, no experience, no qualifications, and no demonstrable work history come out of nowhere and win an election?)

They're hopping mad, these liberals, but it's not clear what their theory of the crime is. Before accusing Republicans of committing a dirty trick, apparently no one asked the question: "OK, but what was the trick?"



The key to Greene's victory, you see, is that he got more votes. How do liberals imagine Republicans pulled that off? Mesmerize the Democrats into voting for an idiot? If they could do that, John McCain would be president.

There is zero possibility that Republicans skipped their own primary to vote for Greene in the Democratic primary. The marquee South Carolina election in last Tuesday's primary was the four-candidate, mudslinging Republican gubernatorial primary. That one was so heated, it's still to be decided in a runoff next week.

Even Sarah Palin got involved in the race, endorsing Nikki Haley (though not endorsing anyone in the Nevada primary, as I incorrectly gave her credit for in last week's column).

Not surprisingly, more than twice as many South Carolinians voted in the Republican primary (424,893) as voted in the Democratic primary (197,380). Not only that, but a higher percentage of Republican primary voters chose a candidate for Senate (97.12 percent) than did the Democratic primary voters (86.24 percent).

Perhaps realizing this, liberal loons (Keith Olbermann) are now pushing the theory that Republicans somehow ... rigged the voting machines! (This is what happens when you know absolutely nothing about politics but are given a TV show.)

He may be an idiot, but he's our idiot.

That's actually the Delaware state slogan for Joe Biden.

I suspect what happened maybe similar to something I saw back in Oklahoma in the 50s.

Since this was before TV advertising, most campaigning was done thru Town Hall kind of meetings. All the candidates would show up in different small towns on the same night and would give their campaign speeches. Pretty dull stuff.

There was this old peanut farmer who ran every campaign for county sheriff. He was a joke but his speeches were funny. He could draw a crowd. He actually said that the only reason he ran was because the other guys paid him to run because he could get people to show up. FYI, one of his campaign planks was that he would sell all the sheriffs cars saving money. After all, he said he didn’t own a car, he walked every where he went, and the sheriff deputy’s could do the same.

Well, one year, people were pretty fed up with the candidates for sheriff and a lot of folks decided they’d vote for the peanut farmer as a protest. He came within a whisker of winning but he missed 50% by about 100 votes. He lost the runoff by a landslide when folks realized what they’d almost elected.

Need the whole quote...

We should invade their countries, kill their leaders and convert them to Christianity. We weren't punctilious about locating and punishing only Hitler and his top officers. We carpet-bombed German cities; we killed civilians. That's war. And this is war. - Ann Coulter

Ann clips off more talent when she trims her fingernails than exists in the entire liberal media establishment... going back several generations.

How did the Party of Harry Truman, Henry “Scoop” Jackson, Hubert Humphrey and Sam Nunn become this Marxist joke that we see before us?

Because they were also the party of FDR, Ted Kennedy, Tip O’Neil, LBJ, and Jimmy Carter.

I like Coulter. She’s biting and funny, but no other pundit can hold a candle to Mark Steyn.
