HANNITY: And Senator John McCain is gaining momentum, but not all conservatives are jumping for joy. Senator McCain is a polarizing candidate for many. And critics point to his stance on immigration, his work with Russ Feingold. But with a potential Hillary Clinton candidacy on the Democratic side of the aisle, will true conservatives eventually fall in line and support the Arizona senator?
Joining us now, author of the "New York Times" best seller, "If Democrats Had Any Brains, They'd be Republicans," our friend Ann Coulter. How are you?
ANN COULTER, AUTHOR, "IF DEMOCRATS HAD ANY BRAINS": Fine, thank you.
HANNITY: I'm standing on substance here.
COULTER: Yes.
HANNITY: It's immigration. It's limits on free speech. It's not supporting tax cuts.
COULTER: It's Anwar. It's torture at Guantanamo.
HANNITY: Class warfare rhetoric. It's interrogations. It's Guantanamo. It's Anwar. These are not small issues to conservatives.
COULTER: No, and if you're looking at substance rather than whether it's an R or D after his name, manifestly, if our's candidate than Hillary's going to be our girl, Sean, because she's more conservative than he is. I think she would be stronger on the war on terrorism. I absolutely believe that.
HANNITY: That's the one area I disagree with you.
COULTER: No, yes, we're going to sign up together. Let me explain that point on terrorism.
HANNITY: You'd vote for Hillary --
COULTER: I will campaign for her if it's McCain.

You “Party Uber Alles” types really have got to try thinking instead of emoting for a change. A politician who is 10% on your side, 90% on the other is still your enemy no matter what party label you slap on him.
No Conservative should ever consider voting for McCain. We worry the others will betray us. We know McCain will betray us. Look at his record for the last 8 years? Been nothing but betrayal and obstruction.
With any of the other candidates we have a seat at the table. We know John McCain will never listen to us on anything.
With McCain Conservatives would get maybe 10%. That would not be worth the enormous long term damage McCain would do to both the GOP and the Conservative Movement. With a McCain Administration we would have a mislabeled “Conservative” Administration pushing Democrat Party polices while the GOP took all the political fall out of the consequences of those disastrous decisions.
Just what could Conservatives expect to get from a McCain Administration? Based on McCain’s record for the last 8 years, we could expect to get tough talk on foreign policy and spending with no real action on any issue.
Do people forget the Democrats trying to get McCain to flip party’s in Jan 2006? Forget that Dems wanted McCain as their VP candidate in 2004?
How quickly the supposed Conservatives for McCain forget McCain’s political record. From Tax-cuts to the War to Judges McCain’s whole strategy has been to be as Liberal as possible and stay in the GOP.
Politically there is very little difference between Hillary and McCain. You get minor variations on this and that issue, like abortion, but over all McCain and Clinton share the same political philosophical outlook
McCain has done nothing for the Conservative movement in 8 years. While talking a good game on spending, he has done nothing. This is particularly galling considering all the issues CFR, Judges, Immigration Anti Torture Amendment-Gang of 14 etc etc etc issues which McCain was more then willing to throw his weight behind an issues to get legislation passed.
McCain has actively worked against the Conservatives on Social issues, on the WOT, on Iraq, on Gitmo, against Rummy, on Immigration and on Judges, on Global Warming etc etc etc etc etc. McCain has far more in common with Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama then he does with any Conservative.
Funny how the Talking Heads miss this. Out of 49 Republican Senators McCain has been ranked 45th by the American Conservative Union for his voting record!
McCain would be the worse of both worlds. A mislabeled “Conservative” Administration actively advancing the Democrat Party’s agenda while knifing Conservatives in the back daily. You could even count on a McCain Administration appointing Leftist Judges in order to avoid fighting with the Democrats in the US Senate.
Tough on Foreign Policy? You think Mr “Close Gitmo and extend the same legal protections US Citizens have to the terrorists” McCain is going to have a “tough” foreign policy? The father of the Baker Commission and the plan to surrender Iraq to Iran and Syria is “strong on Foreign Policy”? Not based on his recored. The wrost thing that a McCain Administration would do is it would fracture the few remaining GOP Congress critters into pro and anti McCain factions. McCain would be the worst of all world politically for the Conservatives.
At least with a Democrat Leftist Administration, as opposed to a McCain Leftist with a GOP Label Administration, the Democrats would get all the political fall out of their disastrous political decisions and the GOP would unite in fighting them. The worst of all possible worlds for Conservatives in 2008 would be McCain getting elected President.
Exactly, and I agree with her. Hillary is more conservative than McInsane. I doubt if I would vote for her, but then I won't vote for McInsane either. Sit out this presidential race. (and don't come at me with that "not voting is a vote for hillary" stuff. I simply don't care any more). If God wants to punish America for her apostacy, let Him do it.
What if it’s Obama who was just ranked the most liberal of the U.S. Senators?
And you really believe that McInsane can beat HIllary? Ha.
Ann endorsing Billary is no different than Jim Robinson endorsing Huckabee.
Do they actually want Hillary to win? No. Of course not.
It’s just a tactic to force voters to look carefully at McCain, see him for the RINO his is, and do the respectable thing.
Like vote for Romney. (Ugggh. I can’t believe I said that)
That’s what the polls say. He may not be facing her the way things are going. Could be Barack Hussein Obama, named the most liberal of all the U.S. Senators (Hillary was 16th).
Did she skip the classes on Hillary's "Communist Manifesto plans for the U.S.?"
I keep reading that.
I know there are FR threads on that. But I wonder.
When did Obama outplace John F’n Kerry?
“I think she would be stronger on the war on terrorism. I absolutely believe that.”
Which leads be to absolutely believe that Ann is not only a self promoting ego maniac, but a fool as well.
My estimation of Ann Coulter has jumped considerably.
Isn't he saying he's the only Republican 'candidate" that supported the surge? Big difference
<<<<<<<<<<<< My estimation of Ann Coulter has jumped considerably. >>>>>>>>>>>>
Is that a jump UP — or DOWN?
(Hard to tell by the pro and con replies on this thread)
I agree totally. I am a big opponent of yellow dog republicans. If McCain gets the nomination I will probably vote 3rd party. no matter who gets the the dem nomination, if mccain wins we will have a liberal in the WH.
Yep her wanting Hillary over McManiac...is a win-win.
It tells conservatives to stay away form McCain and it tells Rats to stay away from Hillary.
Only way I’d vote for McCain is if I was his choice for VP and I was on the ticket with him. But I don’t think I could run on the ticket with him.
I guess just recently. Haven’t seen the whole list. Kerry still number one on my “traitor list”.
Hillary is like a mommy hen she has always defended her territory and even took territory that was not her’s... McCain has give up more than Hillary has had to take.
"This cult of personality worship towards McCain"
lol...what planet are you living on. Very few Freepers support McCain, and as I made perfectly clear I certainly don't.
Your delicate emotions are getting the better of you, as always.
You should frame that book.
Personally McCain will do more harm to the US than Hillary could. If MCCain wins who will be the opposition party? He’ll pass all the liberal bills that the Democrat congress passes. The Republican’s won’t stand in the way of the Republican president. This will only increase t democrats hold on congress.
If hillary wins...the Republican’s will unite against her like they did against her hubby and usher in a new republican super majority...this time we can hope they stick to their conservative roots.
McCain vs. Hillary = we lose either way, but Hillary will be able to do less damage than McManiac.
Can I clarify that? Yes, Coulter is right!.
