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.)

No I was aware of the Soros connection. Soros has lots of money to spread around. Wasn’t he behind the campaign finance reform as well?
I believe McCain loves America which is why I will vote for him. Obama does not.
You could vote for a 3rd party but that will accomplish nothing. Our only recourse at this time is to push for more seats in the house. And next time have a real candidate.
There were so many conservatives running for the nomination and there wasn’t one front runner. All of a sudden McCain gets a huge cash donation and the rest drop like flies. Seems like someone made a deal.
That's what I intend to do
I never said he would be better for conservatism. I could have sworn I'd made it clear that I thought he would be better than the Muslim running against him in protecting the freedom of America.

Thanks DriftDriver. You take care. It did seem like it happend relatively fast didn’t it, from out of it to the nominee in about four months.
Good. Take care.
Not for Conservatism. For the Republican party maybe, but not for Conservatism. At least that’s the way I see it.
Look, we’re not going to agree here. I’m sure you have your reasons and I understand that. Take care.
BUMP

Haha, it’s a real site.
Not being ignorant "centrists," we know what a world-class disaster B. Hussein Obama will be. Meanwhile, the centrists McCain spent years impressing with his outraged denunciations of conservatives, Swift Boat Veterans and Christians will be voting for Obama. They think he's cute.
I'm scared as hell about November....
An absolutely stunning textbook display of liberal childishness, of willful blindness, of fingers in the ears.
No wonder my Party went down the toilet. Thanks.
don’t understand your post.
No, but of course you don’t.
Quit your game playing - you got something to say - say it! Talk about childish!
Haha, it’s a real site.
Yep, it is.
And it is Coulter's site and up and running now.
