coulter on McCain

Written on the original Movable Type site and recovered from the Internet Archive.

Ok, she doesn’t like him because he is not conservative enough. Sort of the same reason I am not today supporting him. McCain does have many liberal ideas and panders to the left when he can. The immigration bill was a mess that I cannot forgive. Ann has a column on her website today that is a good read. Some snippets.

John McCain is Bob Dole minus the charm, conservatism and youth. Like McCain, pollsters assured us that Dole was the most “electable” Republican. Unlike McCain, Dole didn’t lie all the time while claiming to engage in Straight Talk.

Of course, I might lie constantly too, if I were seeking the Republican presidential nomination after enthusiastically promoting amnesty for illegal aliens, Social Security credit for illegal aliens, criminal trials for terrorists, stem-cell research on human embryos, crackpot global warming legislation and free speech-crushing campaign-finance laws.

I might lie too, if I had opposed the Bush tax cuts, a marriage amendment to the Constitution, waterboarding terrorists and drilling in Alaska.

And I might lie if I had called the ads of the Swift Boat Veterans for Truth “dishonest and dishonorable.”
