MCCAIN: PUMP THIS!
by Ann Coulter
July 2, 2008
Well, I guess we're all pretty relieved we didn't drill in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge back in 2002. What a disaster that would have been.
The vote on ANWR was almost entirely along partisan lines, with all Republicans, except a handful of "moderates," voting for drilling, and all Democrats, except a handful of sane Democrats like Zell Miller, voting against drilling.
John McCain opposed drilling in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge because he polled soccer moms and found out they were against drilling. They thought it sounded too much like going to the dentist. McCain wanted to ensure that he remained beloved by the two pillars of his base: "centrists" and New York Times reporters.
Even Sen. Chuck Hagel voted for drilling in ANWR. But John McCain, "our" candidate, voted against it.
I guess we're beginning to see the problem of basing a political platform on the passing fancies of "centrists." These are people who have no opinions because they know nothing about national issues. They're the ones who check the "not sure/no opinion" box on polls regarding the legalization of cannibalism.
You can't blame them: They're not being paid to know something about national issues. Those people we call "senators" and "representatives."
But now, astronomical gas prices have forced even soccer moms to spend 10 minutes looking at a problem that their leaders were supposed to be thinking about for years. And the soccer moms are saying: Drill! Drill! Drill! Bobby, come down off of there! Stop hitting your sister! Where was I? Oh, yeah ... Drill! Drill! Drill!
Consequently, McCain recently switched his position to go along with the centrists. See, that's the downside of having chosen all your political positions by polling centrists: The moment they acquire any knowledge, they'll realize you're an idiot.
It's always the same argument. Year after year, the "moderate Republicans" so respected at The New York Times harangue us to dump the Christians, the conservatives, the Swift Boat Veterans, the "right-wing extremists," the gun-and-God clingers and the fanatical pro-lifers from our party so we can repel every American who voted for Ronald Reagan in order to win the votes of people like Christine Todd Whitman.
Yes, by all means let's clear out all that deadwood and pave the way for a 49-state landslide! (For the Democrats.)

Just tears on my pillow.
Why when we need unity, you find the need to divide?? Who cares about the little things, we need to drill which means we need to work together.
Does your sniping make you feel superior?
Pray for W and Our Troops
Well said!!!
I used to think Coulter was witty when she was unleashing her venom on the rats...Now that she only attacks Republicans I find her directionless agitation far too bitter to resemble reality.
Ping you? LMAO, I didn’t look you up bub.
LOL, you take care.
You know, trotting out Obama is such a great way to support McCain. I mean, you could actually address McCain’s record, but then that would be a little awkward...
I wasn’t sure what your gull island comment meant.

FR should organize regional “Get drunk and get out the vote” drives. I offer up my humble apartment near L.A. if anybody wants to knock back a few, put our “McCain” clothespins on our noses and then go out and vote!
Ah, sometimes you just have to laugh to avoid crying.
Great! I've already began testing. So far it hasn't been looking good for McCain while running tests with myself being the subject. There have been a few experiments during which I might have gotten intoxicated enough to vote for him, but I wasn't able to stay conscious long enough for someone to make it to the polls, stand in line, and vote.
Based on my findings, I have found that if beer is to be the drink of choice for the parties some form of stimulant will be necessary to allow people to be awake to vote. This could be provided by either some type of drug or energy drink, which would logically point to Red Bull+Vodka for consumption at the voting parties. Such a combination could provide a chance for someone to be able to drink to a toxicity level high enough to vote fro McCain, and yet still be physically and mentally able to get out to a polling place, wait in line(if there are any), and vote. I will try Red Bull+Vodka, and report back with my scientific findings.
Dude,
I ain't assuming anything, I can't predict the future, and I never assume either. Remember, if you ASSUME, you make an ASS of U and ME. But we can always HOPE for CHANGE.
Also we should drink in shifts. I could drive a car load of inebriated McCain voters to the polls, then go back and get my drunk on and then have someone drive me! ;)
Sounds like a plan! I hope they give the party workers at the precinct level some money for cab drivers to help as well, but I don't expect the RNC or the McCain campaign to be organized enough to catch on. Look for pile ups, and cars run off the side of the road and idling near the polling places(hopefully after these people have voted).
Ditto. Exactly how I feel.
PS: We should call this effort: “Operation Chaos II”.
Instead of “broken glass” republicans, this year we will have drunken republicans. Like the broken glass republicans, they will do the most painful thing to stop the liberals, only this year it can’t be done out of sound mind and conviction. Of course, this year the broken glass won’t hurt quite as bad while being intoxicated, but someone should have a few pints of blood on hand in various types to prevent the folks who get cut bad by crawling across the glass from bleeding out.
Not only will they slap him on the back, they'll jump through hoops and do all kinds of contortions to explain what a brilliant strategy he's employing. I'm investing in barf bags for the next 4 years.
Not a bad idea. What’s the ticker code? LOL
