Ann Coulter Says Ignore Election Fraud
Jul 12, 2014 Political
There is a big mess in the state of Mississippi where challenger Chris McDaniel lost a runoff election to incumbent establishment Republican Thad Cochran. McDaniel beat Cochran in the primary but did not surpass the threshold required to avoid a runoff. MS has an open primary so people from either party can vote for candidates of their choosing. In the runoff Democrats were allowed to vote but only if they did not vote in the original primary and they had to have the intent to vote for the Republican who won the runoff in the general election (there is no way to enforce that).
The RINO establishment and Cochran team rounded up Democrat support and published hateful information indicating McDaniel and the Tea Party were racists who would keep blacks from voting. Democrats supported Cochran in the runoff and he “won.” It appears though, as if many election laws were broken by the Conchran machine and that Democrats who voted in their primary also voted in the runoff. McDaniel is trying to investigate this but has been hitting roadblocks.
Ann Coulter, the alleged conservative pundit, says it is time for McDaniel to concede. She points to politicians who did not and were never viable again as well as those who were gracious after their fraud gilled losses who were able to have a future career.
In Coulter’s mind the goal is to win the Senate and that is a worthy goal BUT it is not so worthy as to relinquish one’s principle. Coulter is the first one to scream about Democrat election fraud and the need for voter ID but when there is RINO establishment fraud she wants people to ignore it for the greater good.
The greater good is to fight for a system that has integrity.
But the establishment folks will blow this off and then demand people come together and support the RINO candidate for the greater good of taking back the Senate.
It is important to keep in mind that Coulter was all in for Chris Christie, a RINO’s RINO and that she has not backed solid conservatives for years. She is more interested in the end game than pushing for true conservatism and if that means keeping a RINO who has a chance then take your 30 pieces of silver and move on, unite and vote R.
[note]The title of her article tells the Tea Party to learn from a liberal, Al Gore. Why not learn from John Thune or one of the others she touts as having been gracious and who lived to win another day? Only Ann can answer that but I find it an odd way to make her point.[/note]
Ignoring the blatant fraud and encouraging people to gather around one candidate might seem like a winning proposition but it is not.
Conservatives in the state of Mississippi are not happy and if the runoff results stand they will not vote for Cochran. Many Republicans in the state who are upset with the games will likely stay home or not vote in the Senate race (or more importantly will protest vote for the Democrat) and one can be certain all the Democrats who voted for Cochran to help him in the runoff will NOT vote for him in the general election.
It seems to me the Coulter and establishment plan is to ensure a Democrat gets the Senate seat in MS.
These folks, the ones who decry the large Democrat vote among blacks and Hispanics as only voting for the D, want us to do the same thing. That thing is vote for the person with the R next to their name no matter what because we said so.
Republicans have not done much when in the majority whether it be Senate or House and the only advantages of winning the Senate would be to get rid of Harry Reid and to nearly completely roadblock Obama (he still has a phone and a pen).
Coulter is a gifted writer and I like her books. She has a way with words that really brings her points home. But she is a typical Northeastern Republican whose idea of conservatism is in line with the establishment view of middle of the road, go along to get along, anything to win an election mentality. This has not worked and it will not work.
We tried it their way and we have Barack Obama and the twits on the left who are ruining this country with assistance from the RINO establishment. We have not won big using their plan.
We won big when the Tea Party became involved and that is how we took the House. We lost the Senate because the very same establishment types who tell us to circle the wagons around their candidate refused to do the same with candidates who beat their sacred cows. Some of those folks were not the best candidates in the world but they were not the establishment types and if their primary victories got rid of establishment types then all the better no matter what the eventual outcome.
Would it be great to get rid of Harry Reid and roadblock Obama? You bet but not if it means sacrificing integrity.
Ann, a real Republican (and more importantly a conservative Republican) wins on his own merit. If he needs to pander to Democrats then it means his message is more in tune with them than his own party. It is pretty much the same as when liberals run as middle of the road to win the general election and then canter left after they win. You have pointed this out in the past.
Thad moved left (or promised the Holy Grail) to garner Democrat support in a primary about Republicans. His message was not strong enough to garner the support of his own party. The entire process was rife with fraud and that is as infuriating as his appeal to Democrats.
Your advice though, is to suck it up, remove our pants and bend over so long as we support Thad in his quest for continued RINO mediocrity.
Sorry but I don’t work that way and I think you will find that neither do those who were screwed over by Thad.
I am not a citizen of Mississippi but I am willing to bet there are enough Republicans there who will ensure Thad does not win reelection should the results of the fraud filled runoff hold.
No problem though Ann. You can just write another book about the mob mentality of the left that has crept into the RINO establishment.
Cave canem!
Never surrender, never submit.

McConnell Is Only Partly Correct
Sep 26, 2013 Political
Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (RINO-KY) is not on board with defunding Obamacare and he will help Democrats get it all the money it needs. He had a little chat on the Senate floor with fellow Kentucky Senator Rand Paul. McConnell said that the law would fail.
On that he is correct. The law is already failing and it will fail miserably. It has not hit mandated deadlines and parts of it have had to be delayed because those parts are hurting Obama’s friends, Obama does not want the problems before the next election AND they are not ready for implementation.
But McConnell is wrong in drawing the conclusion that because Obamacare will fail it will go away. He stated:
“I think it’s pretty safe to conclude: The things that can’t work don’t stick, don’t last. Because we are, after all, a representative Democracy, the people can complain and discuss and tell us how they feel.” The Hill
Social Security is not working and it has been around for decades. Medicare, same thing. The war on drugs, not working but we continue to spend billions of dollars on that war (while Obama arms drug cartels).
The war on poverty has cost us over 12 TRILLION dollars and it has been a failure. There are more people in poverty now then when the program started and there are more people on welfare. The war to end poverty has created more of it, has added trillions of dollars to our debt and has added millions of people to the welfare rolls.
With all of these negatives one can safely say that the war on poverty failed.
Yet our government continues to redistribute wealth to support the welfare state that resulted from the lost war on poverty.
Government programs do not go away. They cost more than advertised and then when they fail government says there is a problem that needs more money to solve and then throws more money at the problem IT created.
It is a vicious cycle that resembles being caught in a transporter loop.
McConnell can claim that the law has no chance of working and he is correct but to conclude that it will go away flies in the face of history and reality.
The only way to get rid of it is to do so now before millions of people get snared into it and depend on it.
When that happens we will have another failed welfare program that consumes more and more while producing nothing.
Regardless of what happens McConnell and the rest of the RINOs must be removed from office.
I know that the establishment Republicans are counting on winning the Senate in 2014. What happens if they don’t? I would rather never win the Senate if it will be in control of people like McConnell, McCain and Cornyn.
I won’t be voting in 2014 with the goal of gaining back the Senate. I will be working to have people vote these slugs out of office.
Cave canem!
Never surrender, never submit.

Honest RINOs & Spending
Jan 17, 2011 Political
At least Senator Brown (RINO-MA) is being honest. He, and a few other people, want to symbolically “sit together” for the State of the Union address. I predict it will turn into total silliness, with everyone sitting with everyone else in a love fest. But anyway, my point is, there are a number of others who, the article claims, want to sit together in the spirit of hippies worldwide: Alaska Sen. Lisa Murkowski, Sen. John McCain, Maine Sen. Olympia Snowe, Maine Sen. Susan Collins and New Hampshire Sen. Kelly Ayotte. Anyone notice the common thread? They’re all Democrats! That group all LOVES massive spending! Of COURSE they want to sit with Democrats — those are their allies! Sheesh.
On spending, this is just classic:
Coburn said he thought he would vote in favor of raising the debt ceiling only if there was a specific amount of spending cuts on the table.
Just think about that one for a moment… “Sure, I’ll vote to raise your spending limit, but only if you spend less.” Uh, why, then, would you need to raise the limit? Oh, right, I see — because YOU, Mr. Coburn, want to SPEND MORE, you just want to spend it where YOU want to spend it, and not where that other guy wants to spend it. Go sit with Brown and his pals.
What a damn load of crap. Here’s a line I would absolutely LOVE to see come out of any Congressman: “WE DON’T HAVE ANY MONEY!” I’d do it. Any time I was asked any question about the budget or a vote, that would be my answer. And when I was asked, “Gee, what programs will you cut?” My answer will be, “WE DON’T HAVE ANY MONEY, YOU FOOL!”
It doesn’t matter what gets cut. Sure, I could list all the things I think should be cut, but that will take awhile. How about keeping it simple: cut everything! And I don’t mean playing the political fear game, cutting public schools and firemen. Those cuts are 100% political crap to scare people. How about cutting the thousands of bureaucrats that do nothing but breathe and take my tax money? Ah, but never mind, as I said: cut everything.
WE DON’T HAVE ANY MONEY!
But we can’t say that. It might scare people.

Who’s Right? Who’s Left?
Jun 1, 2009 Political
Ever since the election, which saw a rookie politician win the presidency, (even a blind pig finds an ACORN every once in awhile), the Republican party has had a debate with itself over just what is the definition of a Republican. The words are flowing fast and furious, with Rush Limbaugh, as I understand it, saying that Colin Powell should just become a Democrat and get it over with, and Powell insisting he is not leaving the Republican party.
After every election loss ( and there have not been as many as the Democratic party) the Republican, and indeed the Democratic parties always feel as if there should be a “makeover” of philosophy- as if it was the philosophy alone that was responsible for the loss. Philosophy alone is never the culprit, the blame can and must be shared with the candidate who is the face of the party.
During the 1980 primary contest between President Carter and Sen. Edward M. Kennedy, Kennedy supporters worried that Carter had moved too far to the center to energize the party base; Carter supporters blamed the president’s loss to Ronald Reagan on Kennedy’s more-liberal-than-thou insurgency. Moderate and liberal Democrats are still arguing about whether Al Gore went too far in 2000 in abandoning Bill Clinton-style triangulation for a more populist pitch — or whether he didn’t go far enough. Limbaugh and like-minded, if less strident, Republicans can make the case for purity by citing the party’s capture of Congress in 1994 under the banner of Rep. Newt Gingrich’s Contract with America.
latimes.com
The Republicans are split now over ideology, and just how inclusive they need to be, when what they need is to develop a consistent, ethical platform that reflects the conservatism that is and should be the heart of the Republican party. Then they need to begin living that philosophy.
The most consistent fault I have found, was that the Republicans had relented on fiscal conservatism, and when they were in power, spent like drunken Democrats. Trying to emulate your opponent is not a winning strategy, and the Republicans, including Powell, came off looking like Democrat- lite. When a Republican, even Powell, votes for the opponent, it’s possibly not a black thing, but it is trouble in River City.
I have said before that Barama didn’t so much win the election as McCain lost it. I know there will be many libbies who will come on here with interminable stats to refute my assertions, but the truth is that as trashed as the Republican brand was, Barama should have swept every state. The fact that he didn’t reflects the fact that for many, even as faint as McCain’s efforts were, the idea of conservatism still runs deep and true among many of the people in the U.S., and if presented correctly, with a candidate who truly reflects this conservatism and free market values, the Republicans can win.
But I do have to caution the Republican party- you have to actually walk the walk as well as talk the talk. That was the big problem before
.
Not every Republican — or Democrat — agrees that inclusiveness is the ticket to electoral success. One of the hoariest debates in both parties is whether majorities are built by uncompromising allegiance to principle or a willingness to abide and even encourage diversity within the ranks. For some conservative Republicans, Powell, Ridge and Schwarzenegger are RINOs — Republicans In Name Only. From that perspective, the RINOs let both the nation and the party down by acquiescing in President George W. Bush’s overspending.It wasn’t so long ago that the Democratic tent seemed too small to hold its disparate elements. Through the early 20th century, Southern segregationists and Northern liberals met uncomfortably at the party’s quadrennial conventions; during the Vietnam War, Sen. Henry “Scoop” Jackson’s hawks and Sen. George S. McGovern’s doves similarly elbowed one another for position. Those tensions were refashioned but not eliminated at the century’s end.latimes.com
As can be seen, angst is in both parties, and the Democrats have done better in their ” big tent” philosophy than the Republicans, even though there is still rancor in their ranks. Republicans should heed that simple fact here demonstrated by the Dems- not everyone shall agree.
In this sense, the “Big Tent” can be large enough for most of the disparate views of conservatives, as long as there are core values all share, and central to this is the philosophy of smaller government, and fiscal conservatism. Really, all else is a distraction, side issues that are important to some, not as important to others.
Fiscal conservatism and smaller government are issues that transcend race, or gender- these issues affect everyone, and I’ll bet that if the Republicans can beat the drum of opportunity, and walk the walk of smaller government, instead of having a contest to see who can “out- republican” the other, conservatives will win.
Let’s face it- there are more people who are in the heartland of this country, and who are conservatives, than liberals who live on the coasts.
Conservatives have to learn to agree to disagree on certain issues.
Remember, an oak tree is uprooted by high winds and dies, but a willow tree bends with the wind and lives.

Arlen Specter Finally Admits What We All Knew
Apr 28, 2009 Political
And that is that he was a Republican in Name Only (RINO).
Arlen Specter has announced today that he will switch parties and become a Democrat. This is a formality because he was a Democrat for a long time. The name change just makes it official. Specter stated that he did this because he finds his views NOW align more closely with the Democrats than the Republicans but who is he kidding? Specter has been a supporter of abortion and gay marriage and he has voted with the Democrats on a number of issues that are not viewed favorably by Republicans. The real issue is that Specter has ticked off Republicans and he knows he cannot win in 2010 if he remains in the party.
It is obvious that Specter is doing this because he wants to remain in politics regardless of what the people want. On Saint Patrick’s Day he said he was not going to switch parties because he believed that it was important to have checks and balances. I imagine he does not believe in that if it means he will be out of a job.
Specter is running as a Democrat so that he can keep his job in the Senate because it is about power and nothing else. He can’t let a pesky thing like voters get in the way of what he wants. He has basically decided that the voters who have vowed to get rid of him don’t have that right and don’t know what they are doing and that is why he switched. Specter stated:
“I am unwilling to have my twenty-nine year Senate record judged by the Pennsylvania Republican primary electorate,” Breitbart
Isn’t that what primaries (and elections in general) are for? Are not the voters supposed to judge a candidate and decide if he is worthy of being elected or reelected? What Specter is saying is that he is unwilling to have the people who put him in office and whose views he is supposed to reflect decide on his future because he was inadequate and did not do a good job. He knows that he did not hold Republican values or he would not be in this situation. He was more than willing to allow them to judge his record when they supported him.
The defection of Specter and the abandonment of his checks and balances means that the Democrats will likely have the 60 votes they need to prevent a filibuster on most issues. This means that many things will pass unopposed and puts us on an even faster track to hell.
I hope Specter loses the Democratic primary and is soundly defeated. He has given any long time Democrat a lot of ammunition to use because any challenger can attack Specter for all his years as a Republican.
Specter is confusing the adoration Democrats have for him for voting with them, especially on all this recent spending, as a commitment to him. I hope he finds out that he is not loved at all.
He needs to go and it should be obvious to anyone from either party. Specter is putting his political future ahead of his country and Pennsylvania voters and is dismissing Republicans because they are tired of his inability to do a good job.
The big issue right now is the Swine Flu. At least the Republican Party is partially cured of the RINO virus…
