So entertaining…
People don’t understand the entertainment value of Ann Coulter. It is not that her attempts to be entertaining and relevant are actually funny (they aren’t), it is that her actual attempts (and colossal failure) is funny.
Which is why this just knocks my socks off.
There is just so much stuff here in such a small space, it is good to see her put to use that big horse mouth of hers for something.
First of all, I would almost advocate Clinton being nominated simply because it would be a hilarious act to follow if Coulter actually followed through (which, I am assuming she would because she is the only one who takes herself serious enough). I’d love to see Clinton’s camp try to react to it too.
As far as the claim Clinton is more conservative than McCain? El Oh El. Even the loosest interpretation of what is conservative pegs Clinton far behind McCain in every major category. The fact that Clinton is a calculating and manipulative twerp with her vote should really seal the deal on top of it. You can guarantee yourself that when Clinton felt it was politically expedient to go right, she would do it. And worst case scenario, if you felt that McCain was the same way, he has gone left in far fewer instances than Clinton.
This is the ridiculous thing about people I am calling “the talk radio right” (so I may distinguish them from others who possibly have principles). Extending yourself out to hyperbole doesn’t work for me. Calling Clinton more conservative is just ridiculous and stupid not to mention a flat out lie when you look at the issues one by one. But most of these buffoons have three hours to fill.
All this talk about RINO’s is seriously getting old. Every candidate left in the race could be called a RINO. That was the charge leveled at Romney during his stint as governor and he certainly has the same problems with the evangelical far right due to his religion. Paul certainly has been consistent and probably most conservative of the bunch but he has drawn the ire of the Republican party (and anybody who wants to connect conservatism to Republicanism in any way other than a loose, informal affiliation should have had a wake up call a while ago). Huckabee probably has the least problems because of his pandering (genuine or not) to evangelicals gives him a free pass for his major economic issues (worse than McCain in my opinion).
So “Wah wah wah” about RINO’s all you like. It is time to look past the party affiliation, past the who-is-more-loyal-to-the-party sort of mentality, past what the radio, TV or your internets sites say and actually, you know, research the flipping candidates. Who gives a crap if they are loyal to a party? That platform can change every two years. How about loyal to principles that you care about? I don’t know too many people who think the Republican party has grown well in the last eight years so is it bad to have a bunch of “RINO’s” running for office? We need something different than what Congress and the current President has given us. That is what Republicanism is all about right now. I don’t think many people would pick a continuation of the status quo.
In other news, there is no news. I have nothing even remotely personal to post about which is why the last umpteen posts have been about politics. Sorry.
