Ann Coulter​: I Would Prefer Ron Paul​ Over Newt Gingrich
ology.com ^ | 12/20/2011 | Noah Rothman

Appearing on Fox News Channel’s “Red Eye” last night, conservative firebrand and frequent courter of controversy, Ann Coulter told the panel that if the choice for the Republican presidential nominee came down to Texas Rep. Ron Paul or former House Speaker Newt Gingrich she would prefer Paul.

She stops short of suggesting that she would vote for Paul in a third party bid as conservative radio host Glenn Beck​ recently suggested, but Coulter has serious reservations (like most editorial board GOPers) about Gingrich’s big government conservatism.

While Coulter curries much favor among the Tea Party Republican set, not all who are inclined to agree with her combative Republicanism agree with her.

Popular conservative columnist Joshua Treviño took to Twitter to echo the sentiments of many in the Republican establishment when he colorfully expressed his reservations about Paul’s untraditional foreign policy perspectives.

Well, Ann if it comes to Paul v Willard Stiles Romney I'll vote for Willard.

Maybe

I’m starting to think Ann has jumped the shark. First she spends all summer pushing the RINO (at least on social issues) Chris Christie, then last week she says Mitt Romney is the only real conservative in the race (with a straight face). Now she is claiming the Old Kook Paul would be a better candidate than Newt.

Ron Paul is a Henry Wallace Progressive:

Anyone looking for Ann Coulter will find her “around the bend.”

Her whole angle is to sell her books.

Not surprising. There’s a good case to be made that, despite the perception among many FReepers that Gingrich is “establishment,” he actually was pushed out BY the establishment for being too conservative. Ann Coulter is a major RINO, so it’s not surprising that she has an antipathy toward him.

Ping to Ann.

How about canceling the lurk mode and come explain this crap. You are getting harder and harder to defend and this one is way over that line.

I don’t know what happened to Coulter. I used to like her I’m a Chris Christie fan for the way he stood up to the teachers’ union, but Coulter lost me with her over-the-top adoration of him. Going from Christie to Paul is quite a leap.

Why do people listen to her? Because men have been enamored of her. Women?? Not so much. Personally, I have long thought she’s not heterosexual.

She’s finally revealed her true colors. I assume that she is now on FR’s s%&tlist, and we’ll be seeing no more adoring commentary here.

Hell, considering we are fighting an activist Marxist, even a swishy ‘establishment’ Republican doesn’t look all that bad.

Better than a fraud moderate-libertarian.

Kinda of a stupid question considering you are spreading her video all over freeper land. You should ask, why do I post this if I do not want anyone to hear it? Dude you are twisted.

Note my tagline - I am on board with Newt.

This twit has lost it completely. Sorry Ann, you are done and might as well join the liberal camp. Still see you on Fox lately so I just use the mute button.
