Coulter: Mitt Romney in 2016; "Cruz A Disaster On Illegal Immigration"

Real Clear Politics ^ | 4/3/2014 | Staff

[BuckeyeTexan]

HOWIE CARR, HOST: Who are you for, for president right now, Ann?

ANN COULTER: Well, don't tell him but I'm planning on giving Mitt Romney a little more time to rest -- flying out, kidnapping him and depriving him of sleep, food and water until he agrees to run again.

CARR: You're kidding?

COULTER: No.

CARR: You really want him to run again?

COULTER: Yeah, I think he was a fantastic candidate. As I've told you before, he would have won by a larger landslide than Ronald Reagan did in 1980 without Teddy Kennedy's immigration bill. And it's basically impossible to beat an incumbent, but he is head and shoulders better than the other candidates we had. And I don't want to name them, but I mean you go through the list -- and for one thing, as you and I discussed, and this is the most important point, that all of your listeners have to tell all of their friends knock it off with the Congressmen or inspirational figures. It's got to be a Governor or a Senator, preferably a Governor. And, you know, there is a limited world -- a list of who those people are, and they all have problems. None of them are articulate and reasonable, and as good on immigration as Mitt Romney! CARR: What about Ted Cruz?

COULTER: Well, he's a lot worse on immigration.

CARR: Is he that bad? I didn't think he was that bad on immigration.

COULTER: Well, most Republicans are, that's why you need to call your Congressman. I'm not singling out Ted Cruz, he has the same position a lot of these idiots have. 'Oh yes, let them come here and we have a special permit, we just won't give them citizenship. But we want to increase ...

[BuckeyeTexan]

I like the idea of self deportation.

[Zhang Fei]

Its already illegal to hire them ... but that didn’t stop your boy Willard from hiring them to do the yard work at the gov mansion in MASS...

I believe his contractor hired them. And it's understandable that he wouldn't know. Unless they're from English-speaking countries, most immigrants, legal or otherwise, don't speak all that much English, and that is why they dominate yard work, because it only requires a willingness to work hard under the hot sun.

Mea culpa.

Proudly posting without reading the article since 2007.

"Ann is correct about Cruz on immigration. He wants to give amnesty, but not citizenship and welfare, to illegals, plus he wants to double the number of Green Cards issued each year and quintuple H1B visas annually."

Careful. Jim darn near permanently zotted me for saying the same thing.

And, when it comes to Amnesty, Romney is the farthe3st right of all potential candidates. Remember, he was on the "self-deport" bandwagon.

Seal the border, cut them off from welfare and jobs. NO LEGAL STATUS whatsoever.

[Zhang Fei]

Sen Ted Cruz said that ??? The “immigration” system is broken ??? hes an illegal alien enabler ???

The links are to press releases on his senate.gov website. His positions may be changing, but Cruz is on record as favoring a large expansion in legal immigration.

[Norm Lenhart]

I occasionally joke that at some point in the 90s, there was some kind of sci-fi quantum event that ripped the fabric of reality, resulting in two divergent worlds. The Real one that somewhere out there, continues on the path Reagan set and this one where Idiocracy came true.

I don’t think it’s a joke anymore. Something keeps happening because one day, Rand Paul goes total liberal, the next, FR is filled with Paul for President fanboys touting his conservatism.

One day Perry returns to his Democrat origins and the next, fanboys bull ahead like he never betrayed everything it means to be conservative.

Mitt of course has caused a case of collective brain dysfunction the likes of which defy any logic.

One day/week/month/year one ‘Republican’ kicks the Starship Conservative into Warp 9 off the reservation and the next, it’s like it never happened. All is forgotten, all is forgiven, excuses are maid, history gets a rewrite and away we go, merrily along.

We are so freaking screwed from within, the Dems shouldn’t waste their stolen tax money on a campaign. We are gonna vote the leftists in for them.

Then bitch about doing it the day following the election. Because yesterdays never happen in BizzaroWorld.

[Mariner]

Thing is, Cruz definition of Amne3sty and our definition differ considerably.

Cruz would grant legal, permanent residency to those here now (if not "criminal") once the border is certified secure.

His narrow definition of amnesty is the granting of citizenship and voting rights.

what Ann is saying is that she supports Romney because he is tougher on illegal immigration than Cruz. She is anti-illegal immigrant.
_______________________________________

No shes not ...

Willard has always been a supporter of the illegal aliens..

he even admitted his own father and the Romney family were Mexican wetbacks and sneaked into the US..

Shes for AMNESTY..just like her hero Willard...

by “worse” on “immigration” Ann meant Cruz was not for the illegal aliens like her sweetheart Willard was...

to an illegal alien or an enabler those who are not for AMNBESTY are the “bad” people or the worse than..

To Ann Willard can do no wrong..

everything he does is golden..even though its really rotten..

Willard is pro-AMNESTY ...that’s golden to the starry eyed Ann...

Willard is pro-abortion...that’s golden to the sMITTen Ann..

Willard is pro-homosexuals in the military...that’s OK with Ann..

Willard is the father of same sex marriage..Ann will fight you to the death over Willard’s “honor”..

Willard is for global warming caused by humans...Ann is hot for her Mitty...

Willard is the father of RomneyCare and the grandfather of ObamaCare..Ann wants to play “doctor” with Willard...well never mind about that one..

Willard is for cap N trade..Ann wants to trade Cruz and other America loving Conservatives for the liberal Willard..

Willard wants to grab your guns..Ann is a’gunnin for Willard ...to bag her a liberal nominee in 2016

Willard hates the military...Ann just keeps soldiering on for a guy who leads from behind...

Anyhoo...

as for “supporting Romney” theres not much there to support that is of any use to freedom loving Americans

[greyfoxx39]

What kind of mental defective believes the losing candidate from the previous election would be the best candidate in the next one?

Bears repeating!

[Tennessee Nana]

Do you know what it is that is suppose to be “broken” what needs “reform” what needs “changing” about the “current strong laws” ???

[Mariner]

Amnesty and Abortion are my only litmus tests.

A candidate on the wrong side of those will not get my vote, no matter what.

[Zathras]

The Romney who asked Axelrod to come to Jackson Hole to consult on 2016?
Only thing worse than this would be to invite The Godfather.

[stevie_d_64]

Who knows what women like this think anymore...

There has got to be a reason she is saying this...But for the life of me I cannot put my finger on it just yet...

Obviously looking at the responses on this thread are an indication of how negative ANY GOPe candidate will be tolerated ever again...

Ann Coulter is in this for Ann Coulter...Not a lot more than that...She is an attention hound at this point, trying to stay relative in an illogical political world...

I am almost positive she’ll see and hear the feedback from this revelation and shift very tactfully out of the crosshairs on this one soon...

Funny thing though, most of us do not forget nonsense like this...

IT does tell me she is anti Ted Cruz...

[Mariner]

"When the economy is good, Americans could care less about how many migrants are allowed to enter LEGALLY unless they see that it disrupts the social fabric of the nation. For example, speaking spanish at work, parading Mexican flags around, claiming some sort of minority status, voting illegally"

You just described the US Southwest from CA to TX.

[Seizethecarp]

Did you what Megyn Kelly said to Chris Christie last Monday?

Megyn, being a Roger Ailes/Rupert Murdock operative, may know something.

The last time I saw Romney on FOX last month he hedged about whether he would run or not. Previously he had said he would not.

So many of Romney’s campaign positions have proved true about Barry (Obamacare destroyed Romneycare in MA, Russia invaded Ukraine, Benghazi was a terror attack, economy failing) that attack ads in favor of Romney and against Hillary for supporting Barry write themselves. Some of the big $$ GOP donors who must put up $4 billion to defeat Hillary seem to prefer Romney over the other candidates, including their other favorite, Jeb Bush.

Conservatives failed to unite behind one candidate against Romney in 2012 and spoiler candidates who have no hope of winning nationally could allow Romney or Jeb to win again in 2016. As usual I advocate voting for the most conservative candidate that can win...this time against Hillary.

http://www.foxnews.com/on-air/the-kelly-file/transcript/2014/04/01/exclusive-gov-christie-2016-presidential-aspirations

KELLY: Now, some people say that Mitt Romney may run again. Do you think that’s a good idea?

CHRISTIE: Listen, if Mitt Romney wanted to run again, I would be totally up to him. I don’t think he will.

Bumping your #128

"as for “supporting Romney” theres not much there to support that is of any use to freedom loving Americans."

[Mariner]

"but that didn’t stop your boy Willard from hiring them to do the yard work at the gov mansion in MASS..."

I'm not a Romney supporter, but in fairness that's not an accurate statement.

Romney hired a landscape contractor...who hired illegals.

Same thing happened to me here in Sacramento. The guy I was doing business with, they guy I signed up with, was native born American.

He was hiring illegals. Paying cash.

[Norm Lenhart]

Sure it’s accurate. BTW, vet people who work near your family. It’s a good idea.

[Mariner]

"The H-1B program has vacuumed in millions of unexceptional individuals whose primary contribution is that they help lower the wage bills of Silicon Valley firms. "

Not just Silicon Valley. It affects every tech position in every state.

Jobs done by Americans at $75/hr are suddenly dropping to $30.

[Tennessee Nana]

Romney hired a landscape contractor...who hired illegals.
___________________________________________

and when Willard was told there were illegal aliens working at the MASS gov mansion being paid by the MASS taxpayers, he didn’t fire the “landscape contractor” or tell him to fire the illegal aliens but he kept on hiring them..KNOWING they were illegal aliens..

even TWO years later...
