Coulter wants Clinton over McCain

In the latest sign that a conservative backlash is starting to build against John McCain, conservative commentator Ann Coulter said Thursday she is prepared to vote for Hillary Clinton over the Arizona senator in a general election match up.

Speaking on Fox's "Hannity and Colmes," Coulter took aim at the GOP frontrunner, and suggested he was little more than a Republican in name only.

"If you are looking at substance rather than if there is an R or a D after his name, manifestly, if he's our candidate, than Hillary is going to be our girl, because she's more conservative than he is," Coulter said. "I think she would be stronger on the war on terrorism."

Coulter took aim at McCain's positions — particularly his fervent anti-torture stance — and said he and Clinton differ little on the issues. Coulter also said she is prepared to campaign on Clinton's behalf should McCain win the party's nomination.

"John McCain is not only bad for Republicanism, which he definitely is — he is bad for the country," she said.

Coulter is the latest high profile conservative to express dismay with McCain's surging candidacy. Talk-radio host Rush Limbaugh said Wednesday McCain's rise was the product of a 'fractured' conservative base and an "uninspiring" GOP presidential field.

"He is not the choice of conservatives, as opposed to the choice of the Republican establishment — and that distinction is key," Limbaugh continued. "The Republican establishment, which has long sought to rid the party of conservative influence since Reagan, is feeling a victory today as well as our friends in the media."

McCain has long been at odds with conservative members of his party. — Exit polls from the early-primary states have shown the he has consistently lost among those primary voters who identify themselves as conservative. But he passed a key test Tuesday in winning Florida's primary, the first early contest that only allowed registered Republicans to participate.

Reacting to criticisms from his party's most conservative quarters, McCain told the San Francisco Gate Thursday, "I'll continue to reach out to all in the party, try to unite the party, until everybody realizes that the only way we're going to defeat the Democratic candidate is through a united party."

Wow, a coulter endorsement for hillary is like the stormfront endorsement for ron paul. Thanks for the albatross, really appreciate it!

[AlanC]

It is not so much and endorsement of Hillary as it is an expression of disgust with McCain and his representation of himself as a conservative.

I too, would prefer that if my president is supporting a liberal agenda, that he or she at least be honest enough to identify themselves as a liberal.

[AnnEsthesia]

All that means is that the Republicans think that Hillary will be harder to beat, so Coulter says this to make people run away from her.

[AlanC]

Actually Ann, as I said, its more disgust of McCain than it is anything to do with Hillary.

I would imagine that this is not the case AnnE. I see this being the outcome of discord over the fairly liberal agenda of the currently emerging front runner for the GOP, Mr. McCain.

Most Republicans that I know would love to see Hillary on the ticket for the Democrats as she has so much baggage that they see her a much less formidable opponent than Mr. Obama.

She has more baggage, true. But, at the same time, she is a much better fighter and would not go quietly, unlike obama.

Obama could be a kennedy or a Dukakis, a great victor or a weakling to be dispatched of. Clinton is a Clinton and, if she were to lose, she wouldn't go down without a fight.

I don't know that Obama will go down easily though, I just don't see him stooping to the lows that I could imagine coming from Hillary.

Could be, I guess we will see soon enough.

[lily]

I guess I'll have to wait and see if my predition is going to come true..but I suspect that after Super Tuesday if McCain comes out ahead, Limbaugh and Coulter will be saying they supported him all along.

I haven't watched O'Reilly lately....what's the head of the group have to say on McCain......last I watched he was for him.......as O'Reilly turns, so will all the pundits.

[AlanC]

Lily,

I don't know about Coulter or Limbaugh. But I can tell you this. There are two candidates running for president that I will not vote for under any circumstances. They are Hillary Clinton and John McCain.

If those are the two nominees, I may for the first time in my adult life not participate by voting in a presidential election.

Oh, and by the way, O'Reilly is not the head of any group.... :madlaugh:

Will someone hold their nose and vote for a candidate they really detest? It's always possible. But in the case of McCain, I don't think it's too likely.

If it's McCain vs. Clinton.......McCain gets my vote

It's Obama vs Romney..........Obama gets it

....that's so far......who knows next week.....but I can tell you one thing, the likes of Coulter, Limbaugh, Olberman and Mathews aren't the ones I'm listening to to make up my mind.......I leave that to Stewart.:lmao:

I think people that vote straight party line do it all the time.

[AlonzoMourning23]

What does McCain offer over clinton for a liberal? It's seems like you're voting for character over policies.

Zo......I'm not ashamed to say that I do take character into consideration over policies. I don't trust Clinton as far as I can throw her. A candidate will say anything to get elected, take Ron Paul for example. You have to work across party lines and McCain has proven he can.........also I see this as Bill having a third or possibly a fourth term.

[AlonzoMourning23]

Well I admit I probably view character as a little less important than a lot of others but still, character may help choose between clinton and obama, or romney and mccain, but mccain and clinton? It's like you're throwing every policy you advocate out the window for the person you deem to have stronger character. I can't see how you wouldn't regret that in the end.

[lily]

Well......if it's any consolation.......if it's Clinton Romney this might be the first time I don't vote.

[Cobra]

Awww, come on, vote for clinton, ought to help us get the first woman prez.

[lily]

Oddly Cobra.........that's what I was thinking when I heard she was running.......now that I've seen her in action..........

[bishop]

i personally don't know any woman who's remotely interested in voting for clinton. mccain or obama are the ones they like best. (my wife also wanted paul.) people initially seemed to think that women were some mindless collective that were instantly going to jump for the opportunity to put any female into the white house - seems that they are independent thinkers. what a shock!

coulter's endorsement is nothing more than right-wing smear against mccain. it's only the fringe of the republican party (the coulter, rush, and hannity followers of the world) who are going after mccain. the reality is that someone those pundits/fringe prefer represents a candidate that could never win a general election. one thing that seems clear, though, is that their opposition isn't hurting mccain's rising popularity - especially as moderate republicans seem to be flocking to him. and lately, it looks like huckabee's campaigning for him..

[preservanation]

This egregious error is very telling.

[bishop]

mccain IS a reagan conservative... today's republican base believes in tax cuts financed by debt apparently..

[Cobra]

Reagan ran us into a lot of debt, I wouldn't call him anti-deficiet spending.

[bishop]

me neither, but at the very minimum, he cut spending in many areas.

She supports Mitt Romney....that's why she's saying this stuff - not for any other reason.
