Thread Name: BS: Ann Coulter Endorses Hillary
Subject: RE: BS: Ann Coulter Endorses Hillary
GG is quite correct in saying,
"Does anyone REALLY think Ann Coulter supports Hillary Clinton? And if they do, have they had a lobotomy recently?
No, they are using this little bit of election year histrionics by Coulter as a propaganda club for Obama."
That indeed is exactly the strategy in use here behind the gleeful quoting of Ann Coulter's favorable remarks in support of Hillary Clinton. Just to help Obama, period. I mean...the people on this forum who are gleefully quoting her hope it will help Obama. What Ann Coulter herself is up to, I'm not quite sure. Maybe she's just speaking her mind. Maybe there's more to it than that.
I would prefer to see Obama elected than Hillary Clinton...but...I would also prefer to see the Democratic and Republican party machines cease to exist, because THEY and their corporate backers are what is basically wrong with politics in the USA.
Nonetheless, if it came down to voting and I had to choose between either of the Democratic candidates...and John McCain...or Mitt Romney... Well, I'd choose the Democrat. The lesser of two evils.
Obama might have a few surprises up his sleeve. He might turn out to be a genuine populist. I can't say. He seems pretty likeable and bright to me. But I'd be surprised if the Democratic Party machine would let someone like that slip past "security" and make it to the White House, I really would.
Still, a slight chance of it is better than none at all, I figure.
As for Hillary, I've always thought she was a very bright woman. That doesn't change the fact that I don't trust the Clinton machine one bit, and I shudder at the thought of "Billary" occupying the White House again. It would be just the latest move in the Bush/Clinton Duopoly Dynasty 2-step.
I thought the USA was formed to resist the concept of a hereditary monarchy...(?)
