Ann Coulter says the Democrats should win big this November; for the sake of our right to arms, let's hope her soothsaying skills are not as potent as her writing ability...
Let the fracas begin...Ann Coulter Says 'Insane' Democrats Should Win in 2006
Ann Coulter spoke with Neil Cavuto today on his "Your World" program, and covered topics from the economy to elections to why liberals hate her, but she came out swinging right away when asked about John Kerry's proposal to set a date for withdrawing troops from Iraq.
"I just love that [Democrats] each have a different time for when we pull the troops out ... I think they ought to start doing it like American Idol and just start taking requests for what the deadline will be."
She added later, "Can you imagine FDR having to deal with this during WWII? 'What's our schedule? When do we pull out? Can we have a timeline? What's your plan?' Ugh."
Cavuto countered they the Democrats see a method to setting a deadline because they think Americans are sick of the battles in Iraq, to which Coulter quipped, "If it's so obvious that we need a timeline, why can't they decide? Kerry said the end of the year, some other Democrat next July ... it's obviously completely random. That's why they should do it like American Idol."
Cavuto told Coulter that Democrats were annoyed with Kerry for trying to use a losing proposal to move the party to an extreme position. Coulter agreed that Kerry was annoying, and said that it proved Republicans were smarter than Democrats because "We've been annoyed with Kerry for years."
One Democrat who doesn't annoy Coulter is Joe Lieberman, D-Conn., who Coulter said she admired because he wants to protect the United States and fight the war on terrorism.
She said he wouldn't be the best Republican, but that he should skip running as a third party candidate and "come all the way and become a Republican ... at least he'd fit in with the party that wants to defend the country."
Some other Coulter quotables:
Democrats "may as well completely change the name of their party if they can't win in the fall election. It's preposterous that they would lose a second time during mid-term elections. This has to be their year. It oughtta be their 1994 Gingrich revolution ... they should pick up 60 seats in the House and a dozen in the Senate - but they're so insane that may not happen."
"It hurts me when I write a column and I don't get Liberals hysterical and foaming at the mouth ... that is their natural reaction ... Whittaker Chambers said, 'People never get upset when lies are told about them they get upset when truth is told.'"
Liberals "suddenly elevate what they think of Reagan in order to attack Bush. They never said anything nice about Reagan at the time. They were completely hysterical during the Reagan presidency; he was an idiot [to them]."
When Bush "ran against Gore he should have lost because the economy was good. The reason Gore lost was because of Clinton, but Liberals maintain this myth, the 'miracle' of Bill Clinton."
