“I’m often criticized for not being a ‘real’ Republican, and I have been called a RINO—Republican In Name Only—in the past. Many say I am not ‘conservative enough,’ which is something that I am proud of. It is no secret that I disagree with many of the old-school Republican ways of thinking. One of the biggest issues from which I seem to drift from the party base is in my support of gay marriage. I am often criticized for previously voting for John Kerry and my support of stem-cell research. For the record, I am also extremely pro-military and a big supporter of the surge and the Iraq war.

More so than my ideological differences with Ann Coulter, I don’t like her demeanor. I have never been a person who was attracted to hate or negativity. I don’t believe in scare tactics and would never condone or encourage anyone calling President Obama a Muslim. But controversy sells and Coulter is nothing if not controversial. Everything about her is extreme: her voice, her interview tactics, and especially the public statements she makes about liberals. Maybe her popularity stems from the fact that watching her is sometimes like watching a train wreck.”

Someone clue me in….why does this McCain chic have a forum? Why would anyone possibly care what she has to say?

Fed45 on March 10, 2009 at 10:01 AM

I agree completely about Coulter, AP. She is perfectly willing to sacrifice the Republican party’s chances in any election in order to get her name in the news so she sells more books. I’m not a Republican but it seems that the party should wake up to that fact and disown her. The same thing applies to Limbaugh as well IMO.

Some also feel the Democratic Party should disown (insert inane Hollywood actor here), George Soros, Arianna Huffington, the lunatic fringe over on DailyKos, the Democratic Underground, Obamatrons, Keith Overbite, TinglyLeg, Butch Maddow. et.al.

Fed45 on March 10, 2009 at 10:08 AM

Well, papa McCain’s entire campaign was like watching a train wreck.

bitsy on March 10, 2009 at 10:10 AM

Well she did kind of call that guy/presidential candidate/cheater a faggot.

You seem to be implying that was a bad thing.

Fed45 on March 10, 2009 at 10:01 AM

She has a forum because she calls herself a Republican but she embraces the form of Republican governance that her father espouses – a total failure and not conservative. So, why would a liberal media not want to give her a forum to express her failed Republican policies, all the while bashing any sort of true conservatism/libertarianism? This is what they call balance.

Was that really necessary? I thought for a second I had wandered into DailyKos or something.

Coulter is ultra conservative, not that there is anything wrong with that. She is also an entertainer, not a politician. So why the angst? This makes as much sense as getting all het up over a stupid Doonesbury cartoon or a Sean Penn diatribe.

I would submit that if Coulter’s words sting you, she’s not the problem.

Removing references to Coulter, McCain’s words completely describe my feelings about Nancy Pelosi. Further removing the gender references, her words describe my feelings about most senior Democrats, media types, professional left-wing punditry, etc. I guess its all about perspective.

“King of the Britons..”

People like you are precisely why the Republican party is a worthless party.

You must be thrilled you drooling moron, you got the alternative to the Republicans. Idiots like you are why we have Obama. Indeed, you are worse than the Obanmatards because you are supposedly against what he promised to do yet you helped enable it to happen.

They can do anything they want from voting for amnessty[sic] to growing the federal government to unprecedented sizes and they can still count on your vote.

Aren’t you principled! You sat on your ignorant rear end and congratulated yourself for not settling for the “lessor of 2 evils”…and you got the greater. Since you claim to be the king of the Britons perhaps you wanted socialism all along to make you feel more at home.

Because, despite how many times they bend you over and give it to you, you scream at anyone who doesn’t vote for a Republican for electing a Democrat.

Not quite, I am pointing out that it is impossable to reconcile electing Obama with conservative principals so ether you are a liar or a fool. Either way, traitor to the party or traitor to common sense, you and yours have helped to seriously injure the USA.

Fine – you can keep your worthless party and keep getting bent over by the very people you vote for.

I worked damn hard to stop the people you helped bend the country over. Too bad you are too thick to get your mind right even AFTER the humping the country is getting. Just ride the bandwagon.
Fine, you lost the right to complain and I have the right to say I told you so. I did too.

I could never comport myself as Ann Coulter does, and I’m glad I have her to do it on my behalf.

Kralizec on March 10, 2009 at 10:48 AM

Ann Coulter says what a lot of us would like to say, but won’t.

silvernana on March 10, 2009 at 10:56 AM

I’m chiming in here waaayyy at the end of the thread, but I have to say that while I find AC’s wit acerbic, I don’t really see how there isn’t a place for that in legitimate critiques of politicians, parties, policies, etc. in an open democratic society.

For people to completely ignore a real message b/c they don’t like the delivery is often (not always…) merely infantile.

IMHO, Meghan McCain just doesn’t like being criticized; and she should just grow up…b/c that’s life, honey.

bluelightbrigade on March 10, 2009 at 11:01 AM

Who the hell cares what the teenage daughter of McLame thinks anyways?

Faramir on March 10, 2009 at 11:05 AM

McCain: I think that what’s interesting right now is that in a lot of ways the Republican Party has died. I wonder, from your perspective, because you are such good friends with President Bush—you were just on a plane with him—what do you think went so wrong with communication and just in general? I know, for me, I’m 24 years old, and when I go out, people are often surprised, obviously if they don’t know me, that I’m a 24-year-old Republican and why? My political beliefs have changed. I was an independent at the beginning of the campaign and when I was in college. Now I do consider myself a Republican, just because I spent two years educating myself. So what do you think is so wrong?
McKinnon: Well, first of all, it’s never popular among young people to be part of the establishment. It is right now because Obama was just elected. You know, four years from now, or eight years from now, it may not be so cool to be part of the establishment.
McCain: That’s a very good point. I never thought of that, actually.
McKinnon: Yeah, it’s just never cool to be part of the establishment. And it turns out we were part of the establishment for eight years, so younger voters were turning away. And so that’ll change over time. But again, I think that politics is about the marketplace of ideas, and the market are voters. And as Dick Gephardt said it in a forum I did with him a couple of weeks ago: “Politics gets pretty messy, but it’s a better alternative than violence.”
And so, it’s important, these things that we struggle for. And Republicans, they got whipped pretty good this time, and we’re going to have to regroup and figure out ways to start communicating in a way that’s friendlier and faster and smarter.

mistersurefire on March 10, 2009 at 11:14 AM

If Ms. McCain is deriving any income from her little blog, I’d say that’s just another sign of the coming collapse of America.

rockhead on March 10, 2009 at 11:14 AM

Boxy_Brown on March 10, 2009 at 10:40 AM

You worked damn hard – and because people like you continually compromise your principles to choose the lesser of two evils we have a Republican Party who is worthless and who elected to send John McCain, a non-conservative RINO, to be its Presidential candidate in the general election. Because of people like you who set their hair on fire and scream at everyone else for not choosing the lesser of two evils as well, there is a non-conservative Republican party whose only vote-worthy quality is that they aren’t called Democrats. Yet the Republicans who you believe must be elected (or a Democrat could be elected) keep screwing conservatives without fear of reprisal because they get YOUR vote. They play you like a fiddle and you are right there, tail wagging, not only wanting more, but decrying anyone who doesn’t want more.

You can try to lay Obama at my feet, but you need to look in the mirror because it is people like you whom have ruined the Republican party to the point that an Obama became electable. This country needs to start over with the libertarian principles it was founded upon (with people of principle – unlike you) and Obama may take us to rock bottom so fast that it will happen sooner rather than later.

King of the Britons on March 10, 2009 at 11:14 AM

Again as someone here posted a few months ago “Too bad both of them (McCain and Obama) could not lose.”

Hilts on March 10, 2009 at 11:16 AM

Sure Ann Coulter is a self promoter and a bit of a loose cannon at times but often times I find her funny and pretty much right on target. She called John Edwards out for being the asshole that he is. She also is not afraid to go into the Lion’s den of liberalism and brawl it out with her.The problem with the GOP is not Coulter and Limbaugh (who do not spout Bushite bull shit about Islam being a religion of peace) it is with people like McCain. Bush, Colin Powell, Arlen Specter, Miss Lindsey Graham, Trent Lott, et al.

Hilts on March 10, 2009 at 11:19 AM

my support of stem-cell research

I don’t know if someone already said this – too many comments to go through – but you probably ought to clarify if you mean “embryonic stem cell research.” There is also adult stem cell research which is, from my understanding, almost as promising as embryonic stem cell research without all the ethical questions that some people have for the latter.

I find Ann Coulter funny, but I realize her sense of humour isn’t to everyone’s taste.

forgetfulmuse on March 10, 2009 at 11:34 AM

AP,

If you call what Coulter is doing a “train wreck”, then her mission is being accomplished.

She is right in saying that the Republican party has died. What and who, then, would you suggest revive it???

Her mission, as I see it, is to embarrass the hell of today’s Republicans and get them off their asses and take their ‘family jewels’ – out of their lock boxes.

As yet, the Republicans haven’t gotten her message, but the Democrats have as they continue to savage her on an hourly basis.

If I were her, that when I woke up each morning, I would thank God for the Democrats because it is they who are increasing her book sales proportionally to every savage remark they make about her.

Ain’t capitalism wonderful?

pocomoco on March 10, 2009 at 11:45 AM

You worked damn hard – and because people like you continually compromise your principles

You are like a broken record. You are simply repeating your programming. I do not continually compromise my principles. I am not a lazy idiot who believes that my responsibilities to the country end with pulling a lever in the voting booth. I was willing to keep at McCain to further conservative principals once in office. How is that going to work with YOUR candidate, Obama?

…to choose the lesser of two evils

Congratulations, you got the greater of two evils… Happy? Thanks for helping to screw the country.

we have a Republican Party who is worthless and who elected to send John McCain, a non-conservative RINO,

And again, MORON, it was the voters who elected to send McCain to the convention, not some back room republican party deal. Got it yet? (I fully expect to see the same assertion in your next post.) It is Ironic that you would call anyone else a RINO in as you defend not voting for a republican. Indeed, as you trash the GOP.

“Because of people like you who set their hair on fire and scream at everyone else for not choosing the lesser of two evils as well”

Nope, my hair is not alight. The country is in serious jeopardy in part because we have complete idiots who think that the way to achieve a conservative utopia is to sit back and whine in the face of a ardent socialist. If I thought screaming would have been able to shake up the rocks in your head I would have done so but the fact that you are still haven’t caught on to the fact that you were lead down a rat hole by the people who you have ceded tour decision making process to tells me that it would have been wasted breath. Maybe if the dow looses another 20%….

“Yet the Republicans who you believe must be elected (or a Democrat could be elected) keep screwing conservatives without fear of reprisal because they get YOUR vote. “

No they do not, but by your logic the whole party should be abandoned because some senators from Maine went for some cash over principal, right? Better to have Barack Obama than compromise by voting for a party that you have had any disagreement with…. Isn’t that a bit infantile? You bet it is.

“but you need to look in the mirror because it is people like you whom have ruined the Republican party to the point that an Obama became electable.”

Idiot, I didn’t vote for him. You, in effect did.

“This country needs to start over with the libertarian principles it was founded upon “

So you are big on Bob Barr? Or did your vote get wasted on some other unelectable truther farce? Are you holding out for the next “only man who can save America”? Do you realize that in order to have a say in a republic you actually need to get elected? Probably not….

“and Obama may take us to rock bottom so fast that it will happen sooner rather than later.

There it is, again. The mark of a true POS. Someone who wants the country destroyed so they can rule over the rubble. I have fought to keep the country from hitting “rock bottom” while scumbags like you have rooted for it. And you would presume to lecture me on what is best for the USA? Your words betray you as a traitor to the country, completely congruent with your actions no doubt.

Boxy_Brown on March 10, 2009 at 11:52 AM

Calling him a slimy asshole skank chaser,who cheats on his dying wife while lying his teeth off about it, and is even so low he won’t acknowledge his own baby daughter, would have been better.

But, fag is much pithier. So, I vote for fag.

Blake on March 10, 2009 at 10:01 AM

LOVE Ann Coulter and I love your post. I’m so sick and tired of the tired and timid souls on the right advocating moderation. There is nothing whatsoever moderate about the truth.

Trouble is, most people can’t handle the truth.

And it isnt just the sophomoric “realtiy bites” bunch who cant take the truth.

Normal wonderful people hide their pitiful little heads in tv, beer, come-to-Jesus-meetings, whatever it takes to change focus from reality to easily accessible feel-better stuff.

Dont misunderstand why I include the church supper folks in this group. I love our church suppers and c-t-J-meetings. But Ive noticed that with all the talk about Gods omnipotence, people seem to forget that He gave us brains to use so that we arent so easily duped by smug incompetent charlatans regardless of what color they are or which fowl-smelling snake oil they are currently peddling.

Re: Ann Coulter – I cant believe she agreed to “debate” Man-skank Bill Maher. What a hideous piece of hate-filled tripe he is.

kooziegirl on March 10, 2009 at 12:11 PM

I find Ann Coulter really refreshing, such a change from the left’s “politically correct s**t”, if you say what you think you have no problem trying to remember the lies you told last time. That is the trouble with liberals they can’t handle the truth so they attack the messenger. You go girl.

concernedsenior on March 10, 2009 at 12:16 PM

Boxy_Brown on March 10, 2009 at 11:52 AM

So your argument is that I elected Obama because I didn’t vote for McCain (I did, in fact, vote for Barr). My argument is that you elected Obama because people like you have ruined the entire party to the point that a McCain is the party standard bearer. In the end, Obama won. You compromised your principle (or maybe McCain is your ideal). I have not. So who is the moron?

I have fought to keep the country from hitting “rock bottom” while scumbags like you have rooted for it. And you would presume to lecture me on what is best for the USA? Your words betray you as a traitor to the country, completely congruent with your actions no doubt.

How exactly have you fought for your country? Have you served? Fought (and I don’t mean as a campaign worker either. I literally mean fought)? Missed the birth of a child while deployed? Seen your fellow soldiers bleed and suffer? I have. So spare me your self-righteous bile while you try to position yourself as such a true patriot because you think you are enlightened as you reconcile voting for McCain. You are nothing better than the Democrats who love the big hammer of government to enforce their ideology. Your ideology is just different.

King of the Britons on March 10, 2009 at 12:56 PM

Unless the Republican party platform is shopping, kissing boys and listening to the cool new bands with the occasional party thrown in. Maybe she and Lindsay Graham have play dates.

Meghan McCain sure seems determined to be just like her father. Maybe if he kicked the bucket in office, they would have hid his corpse and stuck Meghan in drag in the White House. A little make-up, no one could tell the difference.

chunderroad on March 10, 2009 at 1:10 PM

Yep. All the fools who voted for Barr and Nader or just sat home elected Obama. Hope you’re hpleased with yourselves.

All the fools that vote Republican regardless of their actual actions while elected and are willing to always compromise their principles to prevent a Democrat from winning elected Obama. Hope you pleased with your Republican party now.

Is there anything that the Republicans could do to lose your vote?

King of the Britons on March 10, 2009 at 1:15 PM

I will not understand anyone who claims to support the Iraq war and voted for Kerry in 2004. He voted against the first Iraq war and never repudiated that vote or otherwise publically stated he regreted that vote. I simply cannot take anyone seriously who criticizes Bush or Bush’s war in Iraq who voted for Kerry; a vote for clowns like Nader makes more sense.

h0mi on March 10, 2009 at 1:16 PM

You compromised your principle (or maybe McCain is your ideal).

The Republican party platform more specific than the conservative three-legged stool, but most conservative libertarians believe in a strong national defense, the free market, limited government and the sanctity of life. We were satisfied that John McCain shared those values more than Barr and Nader, but definitely more than Obama, who was such a dangerous candidate that voting for McCain was an imperative.

chunderroad on March 10, 2009 at 1:16 PM

So your argument is that I elected Obama because I didn’t vote for McCain (I did, in fact, vote for Bar

My argument is that throwing your vote away on Bob Barr is stupid enough, doing it in the name of conservative principals is profoundly retarded. (Especially in light of the whole legalization of drugs and eliminating all of our foreign bases.)

“My argument is that you elected Obama because people like you have ruined the entire party to the point that a McCain is the party standard bearer.”

How have I ruined the entire party? By not holding out for the perfect candidate? Especially in the face of a clear danger to the country?

“You compromised your principle”

You don’t bother to read what I wrote, do you? “I do not continually compromise my principles. I am not a lazy idiot who believes that my responsibilities to the country end with pulling a lever in the voting booth. I was willing to keep at McCain to further conservative principals once in office. How is that going to work with YOUR candidate, Obama?”

“. I have not. “

So you believe drugs should be legalized… Everything from pot to heroin. You believe we shouldn’t have any foreign bases or “entangling alliances” like NATO… Well, you are just an idiot, that’s all.

“Have you served? “

Yes.

“and I don’t mean as a campaign worker either. I literally mean fought”

Yes, I try not to trot these things out for “internet points” though.

“Missed the birth of a child while deployed?”

Much worse as a matter of fact.

Seen your fellow soldiers bleed and suffer?

Sailors, and yes. Now, because you may or may not have been a soldier does that excuse you wishing the worst on the country in order to have your say on the way the pieces are put back together? Benedict Arnold was a hero in the American revolution, but he was still a traitor.

“You are nothing better than the Democrats who love the big hammer of government to enforce their ideology.”

Amazing how far your head is shoved up your colon to claim that someone who worked to stop what is happening is just as bad as those who are doing it, especially since you WANT what is happening to happen… to hit “rock bottom”… Is that what your soldiers “suffered and bled” for? So that you could root for our collapse at the hands of the people you effectively enabled?

Boxy_Brown on March 10, 2009 at 1:20 PM

King of the Britons

All the fools that vote Republican regardless of their actual actions while elected and are willing to always compromise their principles to prevent a Democrat from winning elected Obama.

You just can’t comprehend that flipping the lever in the voting booth isn’t the end of your obligation to the democratic process, can you? No wonder you could be sold on someone like Barr…

Boxy_Brown on March 10, 2009 at 1:24 PM

King of the Britons on March 10, 2009 at 1:15 PM

McCain’s actions like opposing the Bush tax cuts, supporting immigration, his embracing of cap and trade policies, the Gang of 14 — his contrarian antics are what sunk him in the end. He could not secure enough voter confidence to win running on his “Maverick” brand. That’s no reflection on the Republican party beyond his being the nominee.

After eight years in the White House, the party lost ground. The Rpckefeller Republicans running the RNC continue snatching defeat from the jaws of victory. What can I say? The political pendulum swings. We work with what we have. The public lost confidence in the party, and they were stripped of power. They will either come up with solutions and function despite Democrat incompetence, or they will remain in the political wilderness.

However, if you are so displeased with the party altogether and prefer the LP, then your time is better spent building that party from the foundation up, rather than trying to pick off members of the minority party like a flea-bitten jackal. Karma, you know.

chunderroad on March 10, 2009 at 1:26 PM

My soldiers suffered and bled to support and defend the Constitution – not the Republican or Democratic party or their platforms.

Do you call everyone who doesn’t agree with your twisted logic a traitor, moron, or POS? You must be most effective at getting your points across. Do you not see that the logic you are using is exactly identical to my argument against you? You argue that since I don’t vote for a candidate that I don’t believe represents my views I am electing the other side. I argue that it is people who do vote for a candidate who doesn’t represent their views in order to prevent the other side from getting elected does the very same thing by weakening the party to the point of unelectability. Both result in an Obama win. However your method further weakens the party in the same manner that G.W. Bush and the Republican led Congress did from 2000 – 2008 – Growing the size and obtrusiveness of the Federal Government, passing an unconstitutional bank bailout bill, spending money like drunken sailors (my apologies to drunken sailors), and moving the party to the left. My method, while unsuccessful, will bring about a change in much the same way that a Carter made a Reagan possible.

I don’t have a responsibility to the country outside of pursuing excellence and living up to my personal responsibilities. The government of this country has a responsibility to the Constitution which it has wholly abrogated. I am sick of both of the two big parties and the nitwits that support them. I am especially sick of people like you who claim I am responsible for not electing an abortion of a candidate like McCain. Well, you can enjoy the carnage because as long as people like you run the party and vote for crap – you will get what you deserve. And you most certainly deserve Obama.

“BTW, what do you think of the, “Obama is a decent person, a person you don’t have to be scared to be president” comment of your beloved Juan McClueless from Oct 10, 2008?”

I think it was someone trying to be gracious in the face of defeat. I am not surprised the whole “being gracious” concept eludes you.

Knock, knock, hello, is anybody home? “Gracious” would be on, or after November 4, 2008 not 25 days before the election. Who throws in the towel that early?

One more time even though it will still go over your head; thanks for Obama you needy, insecure lemming.

You sound so silly to say the least, almost red-faced hysterical actually, and I think you rather overrate my ability to control Presidential elections, especially where Juan McClueless couldn’t even carry such states as Virginia.

that means STFU.

Boxy_Brown on March 10, 2009 at 7:11 AM

Very witty closing. How old are you anyway there Boxy?

“Republican led Congress did from 2000 – 2008″

Another very silly, uninformed person.

Either that, or an Obomite Hack.

The Democrats had control over Congress during the two years leading up to the latest elections.

I understand Ann flicked her remarks off her shoulder at her debate last night. :)

Meghan is young. This is her blog. No biggee, to me, but then I have a kid her age or thereabouts. It’s wise to just nod and say, “uh huh.”

In the Navy they get steak, caviar and whipped cream cake
They have fancy cooks who know what cooking means
In the Army we get mess, and it really is a mess
Oh, the Navy gets the gravy, but the Army gets the beans
(beans, beans, beans, beans, beans, beans)

Send a salami, to your boy in the army
Yes, the Navy gets the gravy, but the Army gets the beans
(beans, beans, beans, beans, beans, beans, beans beans
beans, beans, beans, beans, beans, beans, beans, beans)
Nothing but beans

Navy service is ideal, printed menus ev’ry meal
And they decorate your plate with parsley greens
In the Army we get chow that you wouldn’t feed a Chow
Oh, the Navy gets the gravy, but the Army gets the
(beans, beans, beans, beans, beans, beans, beans)
Beautiful beans, gorgeous beans, succulent beans

Send a baloney `cause I’m skinny and boney
Yes, the Navy gets the gravy, but the Army gets the
(beans, beans, beans, beans, beans, beans, beans, beans, beans
nothing but beans)
Loving those beans, loving those beans, liking those beans
Know what I mean, mammy I love you
Nothing but beans
(beans, beans, beans, beans, beans, beans, beans)

Oh, I was born at the age of three, as might’ as I could be
Sure it takes a great mentality to dish out all the
(beans, beans, beans, beans, beans, beans, beans, beans)

Oh, it seems bell bottomed pants are conducive to romance
They are wined and dined and loved by movie queens
But you wear a khaki frame and you get a wacky dame
Oh, the Navy gets the, the Army gets the
(beans, beans, beans, beans, beans, beans, beans)

I hit the jackpot, but it’s always a crackpot
Yes, the Navy gets the gravy, but the Army gets the beans
(beans, beans, beans, beans, beans, beans)

Did you know that the Navy gets all of the gravy
Did you know that the Army gets all of the beans
Oh, a soldier’s a coward if he doesn’t lick the platter clean
Oh, a soldier’s a coward if he leaves a solitary bean
Oh, it isn’t the fighting that will make a soldier cross and mean
It is only the beans!
You can grab a marine and you show him a bean
He says : “what does it mean, that I never have seen”
So you grab a civilian, and one in a million can identify
So I say to you : “why do we got to have beans ?”
Multiple beans, ??? beans, succulent beans
Nothing but beans

My soldiers suffered and bled to support and defend the Constitution – not the Republican or Democratic party or their platforms.

So that makes it Ok to roll over in the face of a genuine threat and hope that it will drag the country down to rock bottom so you can rebuild it in Bob Barrs glorious image.

“Do you call everyone who doesn’t agree with your twisted logic a traitor, moron, or POS? “

Like “unprincipled, arrogant lemming”? No, just people who have helped get us in to the mess we are in and then have the gall to be sanctimonious about it. Twisted logic is hoping for collapse on the pipe dream that people will come running to you for solutions. In the event of “rock bottom” they just as likely will run toward something else. Like communism or totalitarianism. Indeed, since you demonstrate such disregard for the country I can’t say that I blame them.

“You argue that since I don’t vote for a candidate that I don’t believe represents my views I am electing the other side”

When there is a choice between 2 viable candidates then yes. If you believe in the legalization of drugs and the end of foreign bases and the emasculation of our armed forces than your priorities are skewed to begin with and it is probably for the best that you toss your vote away because you would be just as likely to vote for Obanma.

“I argue that it is people who do vote for a candidate who doesn’t represent their views in order to prevent the other side from getting elected does the very same thing by weakening the party to the point of unelectability.”

So if you have Stalin running against Barney Fife… Yes, I got your argument and I have rejected it 3 times now. “Voting” isn’t the end of the process. After electing comes holding their feet to the fire. In this now academic case I agree with McCain a lot more than I agree with Obama so since there are 2 viable candidates my best bet is to elect the one who I have to pressure least to get the results I want. Not, obviously, to allow the worst one to take office and hope he drags the country down to “rock bottom”. Because that’s just stupid.

“My method, while unsuccessful, will bring about a change in much the same way that a Carter made a Reagan possible. ”

Your method, the Carter to Reagan pipe dream was a DNC pr ploy (thought up at hill and knowlton) to get the right to stay home during the election. It worked too. It is also inherently traitorous to wish the worst on the country. This scorched earth policy will bring us AT LESST four years of excessive entitlements (show me an established entitlement that has been taken away, show me 1.), excessive spending, excessive deficits pushing the debt over the GDP which will wreck the currency and end it as the worlds reserve… It is just as likely to get us the next pol pot as it is the next Reagan.

YOU DO NOT GAIN INFLUENCE BY LOSING ELECTIONS.

“I don’t have a responsibility to the country outside of pursuing excellence and living up to my personal responsibilities. “

So the United States is just a boarding house… Gee, no wonder you are willing to see it hit rock bottom. Guess my “POS” assessment was pretty accurate.

“I am sick of both of the two big parties and the nitwits that support them. “

Find some other country drag down to rock bottom then. I happen to be sick of selfish bastards who are willing to trash the country to get their own way and there are plenty of them. I used to think they were just on the left but people like you have shown me that the michael moores stretch across the political spectrum.

“Well, you can enjoy the carnage…”

You are the one rooting for carnage, remember? In a big country wrecking, infantile, temper tantrum… If you can’t have what you want then to hell with the United States. Thanks for helping to make a mess you big spoiled baby. Thanks for helping to screw the country.

Boxy_Brown on March 10, 2009 at 2:23 PM

You sound so silly to say the least, almost red-faced hysterical actually,

Glad you are amused at what is being done to the USA.

“and I think you rather overrate my ability to control Presidential elections,

Thanks for all your help.

“especially where Juan McClueless couldn’t even carry such states as Virginia.”

Where I drove old folks to the polling booth… while you worked on the dent in your couch.

“In the Navy they get steak, caviar and whipped cream cake”

Hey, that’s what happens when they trust you with something more expensive than a shovel.

You can thank the primaries you ignorant, paint chip eating, retard helmet wearing, spare chromosome sporting moron.

Boxy_Brown on March 10, 2009 at 8:48 AM

You must have your mom make an appointment for you to come in and see me again just as soon as possible. I will tell my secretary to clear my schedule if need be. I had thought that I had put you on a high enough dosing regiment of Clozapine and Loxapine, but obviously not. My mistake. From the level of your continued outbursts I should probably add Olanzapine and maybe just a dash of Quetiapine too. Until then please try to remain calm, dring some hot chocolate and try to take more frequent naps. Don’t worry, together we will get through this.

Sigmund on March 10, 2009 at 2:35 PM

Looks like we will have to do some more work on your denial too. But don’t worry as even though you take your frustrations out on me, I will remain a dedicated professional and still bring to bare all of the latest medical and psychiatric tools available in my efforts to heal you. Hang in there. As I said before, together we will get through this.

Boxy_Brown on March 10, 2009 at 2:23 PM

And I have rejected your arguement 3 times now.

Yes and this has worked so well, especially over the past eight years. You fail to understand human nature, despite being screwed by it over and over again. Politicians do not care what you think and you cannot hold their feet to the fire, especially as long as you continue to justify voting for them every election. Their only motivating factor is re-election and when they have sycophants like yourself making their case for them every election cycle, they have zero motivation to do anything but that which is self-serving. You are destined to be a slave.

King of the Britons on March 10, 2009 at 2:58 PM

Someone else who can’t rebut what has been posted.

Howitzers? Gee, couldn’t work your way up to handling the horseless carriages? Well, at least you made it past the potato peeler.

Blake on March 10, 2009 at 3:13 PM

And I have rejected your arguement[sic] 3 times now.

Parroting the same thing over and over isn’t an articulate “rejection”.

“Yes and this has worked so well, especially over the past eight years. “

It stopped the Amnesty. The main reason the left has had it’s way is that it has outworked the right. (Not that you are “the right”) If they are more organized and exerting more pressure then they have simply earned it more. “This has worked so well” basically translates into “I’m not interested”. Why would you be? You don’t feel any obligation to the United states “outside of pursuing excellence and living up to [your] personal responsibilities.” Right? Why other then, especially since it might prevent us from hitting “rock bottom” where everyone is going to come to you and Bob Barr for guidance! Pretty Narcissistic of you.

“You fail to understand human nature”

Nope, rationalization is a part of human nature, so is laziness.

“Politicians do not care what you think and you cannot hold their feet to the fire”

Sure you can. My god, you have completely rationalized how you can be a whiny missfit who is helping to wreck the country, indeed, actively wishing for the collapse of the country.

“Their only motivating factor is re-election”

So that’s why you tossed your vote away on Bob Barr? Since he wont get elected he wont have to worry about re-election? Smart.

“and when they have sycophants like yourself making their case for them every election cycle,

The election is over, if you can’t see that Obama needed to be kept out and that YOU WERE WRONG by now…. Oh wait, I keep forgetting that you actually want to see the country wrecked. You and Bob are going to have people flock to you to rebuild the mess you helped create. Riiiight.

Boxy_Brown on March 10, 2009 at 3:24 PM

The fear and loathing you display is staggering. I am thankful that those of your ilk were not in the majority at the founding of this country. Arguing with you is a mistake – not because you are such a skilled debater, but because your style is insulting and arrogant. You project onto all others your own inadequacies and failures. You are child-like and small minded in your death-grip on your flawed ideals. I actually pity you and hope that someday you can learn to actually think instead of simply repackage and regurgitate what you hear. If not, I am sure next election you will be voting for Romney or Huckabee and cursing those who aren’t ready to sacrifice for the country like you. Good day.

King of the Britons on March 10, 2009 at 3:47 PM

“I’m often criticized for not being a ‘real’ Republican, and I have been called a RINO—Republican In Name Only—in the past. Many say I am not ‘conservative enough,’ which is something that I am proud of. It is no secret that I disagree with many of the old-school Republican ways of thinking.”

Are you sure this quote isn’t from John McCain?!!! ha ha ha

kg598301 on March 10, 2009 at 4:05 PM

The fear and loathing you display is staggering.

I am afraid for the future of the country and I loath the circumstances that cause it to be in jeopardy.

“Arguing with you is a mistake”

Repeating the same thing over and over isn’t “arguing”. When you do that it is just defaulting back to your programming.

“but because your style is insulting and arrogant.”

You can dish it out…

“. You project onto all others your own inadequacies and failures.”

Where, precisely have I done that.

“You are child-like and small minded in your death-grip on your flawed ideals. “

Now that’s projection. You didn’t get precisely what you wanted from the GOP so you threw a temper tantrum and missed your chance to help in some small way to prevent what is happening from happening. Now you are rationalizing it by stating that it’s better to have the country fail and that you don’t have any real obligation to the USA to begin with. Why not move?

“I actually pity you and hope that someday you can learn to actually think instead of simply repackage and regurgitate what you hear”

So is that your idea of a debate? I say that you “regurgitate” and “parrot” and you come on back by telling me I “repackage and regurgitate”? If I told you that you were, say, “a lama” would you turn around and call me a lama?

“I am sure next election you will be voting for Romney or Huckabee and cursing those who aren’t ready to sacrifice for the country like you.”

Before the next election I will be working to see that it doesn’t come to Huckabee at least, but if he is what comes out of the primaries then yes.
I am sure that you will be hopping on the bandwagon of the next “only man who can save America” and helping to elect the greater of 2 evils while patting yourself on the back for not taking the lessor… and the work that would have made a not so great situation better.

Why bother, right? You don’t owe the USA anything.

Boxy_Brown on March 10, 2009 at 4:09 PM

“Gracious” would be on, or after November 4, 2008 not 25 days before the election. Who throws in the towel that early?

MB4 on March 10, 2009 at 1:55 PM

Are we sure that McCain wasn’t Obama’s stalking horse?

OldEnglish on March 10, 2009 at 5:28 PM

For a minute, I thought these wre AP’s words. Happily, they weren’t.

Worried about the RINO Label? Get over it. You are a RINO, because there is no authentic Republican or Conservative, or for that matter, rational person, who could have voted for John Kerry.

It ain’t abut gay rights. In my experience, the vast majority of R’s and C’s could care less what consenting adults do in their own bedrooms.

I wonder why this was reposted here?
Why do we care what she has to say?

ANV on March 10, 2009 at 5:47 PM

Shouldn’t the quote of the day be that someone is actually calling herself a “progressive Republican?”

tom on March 10, 2009 at 6:42 PM

Now I know why AllahPundit is twitting his new professed love interest in Megan. Replacing a Liberal with a RINO hippy chick isn’t a big stretch. Now we know the real reason you won’t take on the Economist with the southern accent. It ain’t the accent. You like to go for the eHarmony compatibility angle, eh Allah.

Sultry Beauty on March 10, 2009 at 7:45 PM

Ann Coulter says what a lot of us would like to say, but won’t.

silvernana on March 10, 2009 at 10:56 AM

I couldn’t agree more. In addition, Ann Coulter is witty, highly intelligent and knowledgeable. She possesses morals, principles, standards and values and she speaks for most conservative Republicans.

I admire her for speaking her mind against those who care nothing about our great country, including our empty-headed puppet president and those who manipulate his strings.

She is neither negative nor hateful and I support her.

sinsing on March 10, 2009 at 8:03 PM

What a boob…

RalphyBoy on March 10, 2009 at 9:08 PM

Ann revs the lefties into even crazier rants then Rush does. If fearlessly telling the truth is hateful then she’s hateful. Anyone, Anyone who voted for John Kerry belies an astounding level of naivety and ignorance.

cjk on March 10, 2009 at 10:08 PM

More so than my ideological differences with Ann Coulter, I don’t like her demeanor. I have never been a person who was attracted to hate or negativity. I don’t believe in scare tactics and would never condone or encourage anyone calling President Obama a Muslim. But controversy sells and Coulter is nothing if not controversial. Everything about her is extreme: her voice, her interview tactics, and especially the public statements she makes about liberals. Maybe her popularity stems from the fact that watching her is sometimes like watching a train wreck.

I like her demeanor. I don’t find her hateful or negative without a purpose. Hello – controversy is good these days, are you kidding me??!! She may be what some people would call extreme but who the hell doesn’t like watching a good train wreck?

Colorado Anne on March 10, 2009 at 10:13 PM

Sure Ann Coulter is a self promoter and a bit of a loose cannon at times
Hilts on March 10, 2009 at 11:19 AM

A loose cannon is a few tons of pig iron sliding around libal to sink the ship. Ann Coulter has done nothing but try to patch the holes the democrats created, while the RINOs rearranged the deckchairs.
