Ann Coulter Vows to Stop 'President McCain'

Ann Coulter Vows to Stop 'President McCain'

Monday, February 4, 2008 9:10 AM By: Philip V. Brennan

Some Republicans may be rallying around Sen. John McCain as the GOP’s best hope of winning in November, but best-selling author and conservative firebrand Ann Coulter would rather stick to her principles and give up the White House to Hillary than to see the Arizona senator as the White House’s new resident. In an exclusive interview with Newsmax.com, Coulter explained in great detail why she is so adamantly opposed to John McCain, even to the point of backing Hillary Clinton as a last resort. Newsmax: Is a pro-abortion socialist-in-everything-but-name Hillary Clinton administration preferable to a McCain administration? Coulter: McCain's record is as bad and liberal as Hillary's. But her badness is expressed when she's seeking Democrats' votes. If McCain were in front of Democrats he'd sound like Herbert Marcuse. And don't tell me McCain is better on the war. Campaigning in front of Code Pink types, Hillary has repeatedly said she will hit terrorists hard, and hedged her bets (thereby losing votes) on whether she'd execute a quick pullout from Iraq. This probably makes her as tough as McCain, especially since he's busy sniffling into his handkerchief about the tragedy of Guantanamo. As to the domestic commie stuff Hillary peddles, I think she'll do a lot less damage than McCain, because he would co-opt Republican congressmen. They would fight Hillary. We're imperiled by both of them — but I think Hilary presents fewer risks. Newsmax: What do you find most objectionable about McCain? Coulter: That, on the litmus issues of our time, only partially excluding Iraq, he is a liberal. He apparently excoriated Samuel Alito as too "conservative." He promoted amnesty for 20 million illegal immigrants. He abridged free citizen speech (in favor of the media) with McCain-Feingold. He opposes [drilling in] ANWR and supports the global warming cult, even posturing with fellow mountebank Arnold Schwarzenegger in front of solar panels. Yes, he supported the surge, along with every other Republican worth mentioning, but he would shut down Guantanamo — the most successful rat trap in our nation's anti-terror fight — and he joins Code Pink in calling the Bush administration "torturers." Oh yeah, he originally voted against the Bush tax cuts, but now says he would support them. And he libels our miraculous drug companies as "crooks." Can I take a breath? Newsmax: Is there anything he could do that would allow you to support him against Hillary or Obama? Coulter: He's 71 years old. He's not changing. Newsmax: Is there any hope of stopping McCain before the convention? Coulter: As true conservative Ronald Reagan would say, there is always hope in America. Newsmax: Isn't the conservative base powerful enough to stop McCain if they will unite behind Romney? Coulter: If rallied to their senses. Newsmax: If Huckabee could be persuaded to quit and throw his support to Mitt, would that do the trick? Coulter: Yes. Good Idea. Tell Huckabee. Newsmax: Why Is Huckabee not backing Mitt? Coulter: 1. Like McCain, he lives for praise from the MSM and 2. he is hoping to be McCain's VP choice. Newsmax: Could we wind up with a wide-open brokered convention, and if so, who would you support? Coulter: I believe the "brokering" is now going on for McCain. I will trust the people. Mount your horses and ride to the sound of the guns! Newsmax: How should those attending CPAC [Conservative Political Action Conference] react to McCain when he speaks? Is it possible that CPACers could extract enough commitments from him to make him palatable? Coulter: On the reaction front, with courtesy to be sure. After all, we are not liberals. But I do wish someone would ask him to explain the laundry list in my second answer. And no, there are no extractions that make him supportable. Newsmax: Do you really plan to campaign for Hillary if McCain is the GOP nominee? Coulter: I will campaign against John McCain until Inauguration Day, which, God willing, will not be his. Newsmax: What do you recommend conservatives do? Coulter: Write in "Mitt Romney: or — if it’s close — vote for Hillary. Newsmax: Do you agree with Pat Buchanan that if the Republican Party nominates McCain it will lose its soul? Coulter: Neither the Republican Party nor the nation will be likely to recover inasmuch as in the end, it will lead to a takeover by Mexico and 30 years of Democratic rule. Newsmax: Does it have a soul? Coulter: Yes, as do humans — contrary to liberal dogma.

I would love to see that on a billboard,  A MCCAIN PRESIDENCY WILL LEAD TO A TAKEOVER BY MEXICO AND 30 YEARS OF DEMOCRATIC RULE!

Ann is dead serious, she means what she says, Juan McManiac is in for the beating of his life.  Good for her!

Coulter: If McCain’s the nominee, I’ll campaign for Hillary

Yes Serious on how much she hates McCain and I still agree with her.  Except I'll go for Keyes not McCain and not a Demwit.

Coulter: No, I’m not kidding about voting for Hillary over McCain

“He has no honor.” Quote:

In March 1968, McCain was put into solitary confinement, where he would be for two years. In July 1968, McCain’s father was named Commander-in-Chief, Pacific Command (CINCPAC), stationed in Honolulu and commander of all U.S. forces in the Vietnam theater. McCain was immediately offered a chance to return home early: the North Vietnamese wanted a mercy-showing propaganda coup for the outside world, and a message that only privilege mattered that they could use against the other POWs. McCain turned down the offer of repatriation due to the Code of Conduct of “first in, first out”: he would only accept the offer if every man taken in before him was released as well. McCain’s refusal to be released was even remarked upon by North Vietnamese officials to U.S. envoy Averell Harriman at the ongoing Paris Peace Talks.

And so it’s McCain, not Huckabee, who precipitates the long-awaited conservative crack-up. Man, did Patrick Ruffini pick the wrong year for this project.

Update: AC evidently prefers “a Presidency that would get rolled quicker than you can say Jimmy Carter.”

Update: McCain Derangement Syndrome?

I just hope all of the Huckabee voters know what they are doing.

I many of the polls the Huckabee vote could give Romney the edge over McCain - if he is the spoiler that ends up giving the nomination to McCain and then we become one with Mexico - all I can say is I would not want to be in ole Hucks shoes.

At least John Edwards did not try to use his "ego" to black mail a position in a cabinet or a VP job again.

Huck is really a huge dissappointment - it was bad enough when he used our tax payer money to meet with Vicente Fox to build a Mexican consulate in ARK and then try to give illegals drivers licenses, and health care and college tuition - but I think this really is the frosting on the cake.

Thanks SP , I had missed that show.  She is spot on.

How does a John McCanin, Lindsay Grahm ticket sound. If we stick to the statis- quo that is what we are going to get.

Much as I dislike the thought of McCain in the White House, he is better than Hillary would be. Maybe just by a hair, but still better.  I can't imagine a dyed in the wool conservative supporting Hillary under ANY circumstance.

God Bless you Patsy but I agree with Ann on this summary:

McCain and Hillary will continue to act in unison as they do now and House Republicans will not fight McCain.  They would fight Hillary.  The resulting actions in the house are critical to the agenda moving forward.   The Republicans would then take the Blame as a party for the actions of Benedict Arnold Jr.( Juan McCain) signing liberal legislation.  The Party must purge McCain to remain viable to it's base support.

There won't be enough Republicans left in the house and senate after this election cycle to oppose Republican issues.

I don't know, TG.  I don't see McCain getting the party's brush off.  I agree he would be pretty much in lock step with Hillary, but I don't see many republicans standing up and fighting anyone anymore!

Huckabee will turn off independant and moderate democrat voters, and McCain counts on them frankly because regular RINOs don't support him.  And, when Huckabee stated that time in SC that as Prez he would change to constitution to reflect his religious beliefs, that may have played to a fervent religious far right, but NOT the rest of the country, it has been downhill for him since, and with McCain looking old and like a dead man walking, his VP is going to be VERY important in the scheme of things I think, as there is a very good chance he will be taking over before 4 years are up.

Vee Bee - I was just looking on - line at some of the latest up dates and there was a new "news" article where Huck is telling Romney "if he thinks it is tough now - just wait".

They had a you tube video of Huck complaining - well you could add your comments and there were a boatload of them and they all were saying that Huck is a cry baby and he should have dropped out of the race a long time ago.

At least 3 of them said they were going to vote for Huck but because of his latest actions on the campaign trail they were now voting for Romney.

All I can say is that if the Republican party thinks this is good for the party to use Huck as a "ringer" for McCain then they are very wrong.

Also if McCain thinks that once this is over he can put in Huck as a VP and have it also be OK - I don't think so - the anger is humming thru the air like honeysuckle bees.

I think the longer the media pushes McCain on us and the longer Huck is in the race the angrier and angrier the base gets.

If you don't think so then you should go on line and read the "comments" on some of the articles.

If I were in the RNC right now I would be kissing a huge chunk of the base good bye.

Especially once the big campaign starts and Juan Hernadez becomes a front and center issue for McCain.

I can't watch most U-Tube stuff as I am on dial up still, can't afford the dsl and downloading a 2 minute video takes about half hour!!

But, I can't for the life of me understand why Romney isn't using Hernandez against McCain right now--he has people, we all emailed him last week about it, they had the entire week-end to get it in somewhere, and nadda. That is an IMPORTANT fact if what was that stat, 47% of the conservatives think that McCain is against amnesty??  Hello????  He could have for the past couple days been sinking THAT ship and McCain along with it!  Just a few quotes from Hernandez in his speeches and voila, instant anger and instant votes for Romney who might have been voting for Juan McCain.  This has been Romney's issue to lose and he is coming out the big loser on it so far!

Rush tore up Dole on the radio cause Dole was trying to get Rush to say he'd be ok with McCain.  Then Rush went thru McCains history McCain Feingold, McCain Kennedey etc etc etc.  When Repub Base people such as Rush, Michelle, and Ann etc are so against the forerunner.  Trouble ahead.

---

SuperPatriot - was that just today? or was that yesterday - I hope Rush is still on a roll today because the polls don't close until 7:00 pm and lots of people might vote after work - lets hope the message is still going out today.

Well I heard today on one of the stations, I believe it was fox, I was flipping channels here at about 4am, and they were saying that Dole sent Rush a letter telling him to BACK OFF on his critizisms of McCain (kind of like Kennedy supposedly did to Bill Clinton on his attacks against Obama), but Rush thot it was a private letter and Dole turned around and leaked it to the press, so, Rush was to have some comments on it on his show today and he was NOT going to be a happy camper--LOL LOL...If I could stand Rush, it might be worth listening too...

I just got back from my polls and cast a vote for Romney (against McCain) and strutted right by the hispanic channel 33 UNIVISION reporter and cameraman on the sidewalk wearing my black US BORDER PATROL hat.  I was thrilled to see the voeter ID laws we worked so hard for in Arizona in action.  I was asked for a photo drivers license and showed my voter card as well.  People were heading back home for uitility bills and other accepted resident id to go with Passports ( Unacceptable by themselves due to NO address listed verifying residence.)  

   I am thinking of new ways to insure elections devoid of fraud that would work and not disrupt the process.   The diebold machine is used here and if a representative from each campaign were to be present and asked to certify that the machines  were indeed set to zero on all lines at the open of the primary and then have a confirmation screen attached to the reart of the machine whereby the voter could slide the card through to be counted and then step to the back of the machine to confim that the machine cast the vote for the candidate of his/her choice and then hit a "certify" button and head out the door.  Kind of like the confimation screen on a winning lottery ticket.   I would certainly have a much warmer fuzzy feeling upon voting.   Also have the same candidate representatives present at the close of the polls to view the results that will be forwarded to the central reporting agency.     The following day, a line item breakdown of the voting results would be up on websites for all to see and be able to confirm all votes were couinted correctly based on the certification numbers of the candidate representatives who were present.  We would not have to worry about complaints from candidates or voter fraud in our precious free election process.  Anyone else care about the validity of the elections or have any ideas to improve accountability ?    Would love to hear them and get them to Russell Pearce here in Arizona for consideration.

TODAY and Rush Was in Good Form makeing a good case that McCain is indeer more Demo than Repo.  This has something with why they want Mitt to apologize to Dole, however Mitt said nothing about Doles record in the war. 

---

SP, Dole's war record does not matter any more than yours. Where is his head at NOW?

Did you hear Rush's answer to Snerdley's "Ya gotta have hope?" Rush is right - hope means doing nothing and "hoping" you don't lose everything.

What incenses me the most is that the primary system up to today allows Democrats to vote for the Republican candidate. How did this ever come to be? Where is my glock?
