Ann is only saying what a lot of us are thinking. McCain is Bob Dole redux but without the sense of humor. Hillary can be opposed and tripped up - evil yes but insane no. She can be reverse triangulated, McCain however does not bring the base together (oddly Hillary does).
If the decent and intelligent people--including Ann Coulter and Rush Limbaugh--who have indicated that they may refuse to support McCain or any other Republican nominee--actually carry out their threat not to do so, Bill Clinton will likely be filling Laura Bush's shoes.
(Kinda reminds you of Cinderella's stepsister, doesn't it?)
These good, decent, and heretofore wise people have a loose screw in their heads. They need to get it tightened up--AND FAST!
If the vision of Bill Clinton lounging around the White House puttin' the moves on one babe after another while Hillary drags the U.S.A. down the Road to Perdition doesn't tightened these loose screws, nothing will--except, perhaps, the reality that could follow that vision, but by then, of course, it will be too late.
I saw Ann on H&C - Colmes was loving it “I’ve won! My work is over” he said, refering Coulter saying she preferred Hillary over McVain.
However, I think Ann’s saying “Hillary is better than McCain” on this or that is the wrong argument to make. I see it more as McCain being the really wrong, even a dangerous person to wear the Republican mantle because he is not, in almost every way, a Conservative Republican.
I think the better rationale for not supporting McCain is like this: Next year, minority Republicans in the House and the Senate would fight a President Hillary tooth and nail every step of the way. Those same minority Republicans will mostly roll over for a President McCain’s same-as-Dimocrat agenda on higher taxes, moderate judges, un-free political speech, borders/immigration, global warming BS, the coddling of terrorists (no water board and they must get US lawyers), no drill in ANWR or Gulf Coast, opposed the Federal Marriage Amendment, he is for a massive energy green tax & carbon credits, etc. Even on the WOT and military matters, I have little doubt that McCain would, if it became politically or personally expedient, join his Liberal friends on legislation or issues that would be to the detriment of the military.
That being the sad reality, I’d prefer an energized group of Republican politicians, pundits/talkers and the base opposing Hillary than a group of go-along-to-get-along Republicans bowing to the faux-Conservative McCain.
I can’t believe so many here find this shrew attractive. If God is a just God, when Islamic terrorists die as “martyrs” they’ll be stuck with 72 shrews like her for eternity, nagging, complaining, and emasculating them forever.
I suspect that what she means is that she’ll trash McCain, and that will help Hillary.
She’s drawing a line in the sand. I’ve already done the same.
The fact that McCain is even a contender speaks volumes about the sad state of the Republican Party.
I assume the transcript was copied from Fox News. Rather sad that they don't know how to spell ANWR.
“Hillary lies less than McCain and she’s smarter than McCain.”
Ann - Shark = jump
If the frog doesn’t recognized it’s going to be boiled because the heat is gradually going up, and if the heat won’t be turned down, the only way to save the frog is to turn the heat up fast so it jumps out before it’s too late.
Pataki wreaked havoc on NY because he was a RINO: sympathetic to leftist causes, and got the support of the right because of the (R) after his name. I don’t want to see the same thing happen to the nation.
Sometimes voting for the greater of two evils is preferred - at least people recognize it for what it is.
What if it’s Obama who was just ranked the most liberal of the U.S. Senators?
“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.
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.
Can I clarify that? Yes, Coulter is right!.
Ann was very clear that McLame was more liberal than Hillary on most key issues and that was the key reson for her opposition to him. No support of Hillary.
Now we see the real Ann Coulter. This will not be forgotten. Ever.
No one who truly believed in Reaganism - who understood his 11th Commandment (”Thou shalt not speak ill of any other Republican”) would EVER make the heretical statements she made.
She deserves to be shunned, and forever placed in the conservative dustbin along with the likes of similar phonies such as David Brock, Ariana Huffington, Elizabeth McCaughey Ross, and Kevin Phillips.
Meanwhile, the Democrats get a free pass - here and everywhere - because Freepers are too busy hating on John McCain.
November is coming, and the election of Hillary and/or Obama will make 1964 look like 1984 by comparison. Conservatism will be at a minimum irrelevant, if not extinct: the only purpose the GOP will serve is to vote on ultra-liberal legislation. You think McCain-Feingold, McCain-Kennedy, and McCain-Lieberman were examples of bad legislation?
Well, STFB.
Wait till you get a load of Schumer-Feingold, and Clinton-Obama, and Kennedy-Franken. And, oh yeah, that won’t be just legislation, it will become the law of the land. Filibuster, my ass: the GOP is running for the tall grass as fast as they can. There’ll be nobody left with the balls to filibuster, much less 40 senators.
And if you remember the Great Society 1965 debacle following 1964, there’s a good chance that will be the case for the rest of our lifetimes, and probably our children’s.
But, yeah, go ahead and campaign for Hillary.
She thinks McCain is so unworthy that she feels impelled to pull a Benedict Arnold and support Hillary; her supporters on FR cheer.
The problem is not McCain it is the cut-and-run conservatives who cannot tolerate not having complete and total control over the party. To be sure, all successful organizations have core values and there are fierce debates; however, when push comes to shove most real conservatives recognize that we have more in common with one another than differences. Consequently even after a disappointing primary, we join ranks agains modern liberalism and its candidates.
Well, Coulter and her followers can always support dunkin donuts or some other worthy candidate in a Constitution Party; if all else fails there is always Ron Paul. No one ever called either Ron Paul or Anne Coutler humble. So maybe this similarity augurs for the Paul option being better than cutting and running.
Lots could happen here...
1) scare the dummycrats into nominating Obama, who would be unelectable in the presidential race.
2) This close to super Tuesday, her comments will be fresh in the minds of every republican voter when deciding between Mitt or McCain, and Mitt will win.
In any event, I really don’t think she’s going to vote for Clintoon.
