That's the problem. Not as well known, no I can't. You make an excellent point. However when the message you're trying to get across is made by simplistic points that sound more nationalistic than patriotic on foreign affairs and more partisan than conservative on domestic affairs, in the long run I don't see exactly how that can help the conservative cause. All you've created is an army of blind that pull down the R lever without thinking. As if they're voting more against the Democrats than voting for the Republicans.

I agree that blind party-line voting is unthinking and long-run unproductive, but I disagree with your argument that her "simplistic points" are not good in the long run for the conservative cause. Assuming she is purely "simplistic," remember that Rush Limbaugh does the "simplistic points" spiel for the GOP, and it has helped educate people, as a basic rote education is necessary to progress to higher thinking. We agree, I'm sure, that conservatives are dangerously absent and far undereducating the young, abdicating that responsibility to public schools rife with liberal bias. While Limbaugh educates and reinforces those newly spouted into the daily grind, workers who would otherwise be prey to the left, Coulter does much to win us supporters on the worst battleground of all, the collegiate world.
I think she's also educating for the folks watching Limbaugh, Hannity, and that blowhard O'Reilly, who need shown there are not just Republican party hacks but conservatives out there. Her next-step commentary, if repetitive, at least makes those skulls full of Limbaugh-fed mush into not blind loyalists at all, but people willing to question the Constitutionality of government action regardless of which party runs it.
I would also contend that nationalism IS generally patriotic at least on foreign affairs, though I think we may reasonably disagree as to where the line is drawn between nationalism and patriotism, and I think we probably do agree as to nationalism in the unitary sense inside the U.S. having been being a Constitutional error of the highest order. As to 'voting against' Democrats, while she has been a stalwart supporter of the GOP, she has done so visibly on the basis of conservative causes alone. Her public cheerleading of the GOP when conservative and just as public spanking of the GOP where it is not would tend to drive conservatives into the GOP flock and RINOs out. It would, to my mind, not push people into the no-Rats mindset, but into viewing the GOP as a home for conservatives and moving the party in that direction as well. This is the ideal result we all hope for, is it not, a Constitutionalist party with big name recognition and ballot access?
