FROM GOLDWATER GIRL TO HILLARY GIRL
by Ann Coulter February 6, 2008
Nominating McCain is the gesture of a desperate party.
Republicans are so shell-shocked and demoralized by the success of
the Bush Derangement Syndrome, they think they can fool the voters
by nominating an open-borders, anti-tax cut, anti-free speech,
global-warming hysteric, pro-human experimentation "Republican."
Which is to say, a Democrat.
As the expression goes, given a choice between a Democrat and a
Democrat, voters will always choose the Democrat. The only
question remaining is: Hillary or Obama?
On the litmus test issues of our time, only partially excluding
Iraq, McCain is a liberal.
-- He excoriated Samuel Alito as too "conservative."
-- He promoted amnesty for 20 million illegal immigrants.
-- He abridged citizens' free speech (in favor of the media) with
McCain-Feingold.
-- He hysterically opposes waterboarding terrorists and wants to
shut down Guantanamo.
Can I take a breath now?
-- He denounced the Swift Boat Veterans for Truth.
-- He opposes ANWR and supports the global warming cult, even
posturing with fellow mountebank Arnold Schwarzenegger in front of
solar panels.
The only site that would have been more appropriate for
Schwarzenegger in endorsing McCain would have been in front of an
abortion clinic.
Although McCain has the minimum pro-life record demanded by the
voters of Arizona, in 2006, McCain voted in favor of using
taxpayer funds to harvest stem cells from human embryos. He
opposes a constitutional amendment to protect human life. And he
frets that if Roe v. Wade were overruled, women's lives would be
"endangered." This is the same John McCain who chides Mitt Romney
today for "flip-flopping" on abortion. At least Romney flips and
stays there.
Of course the most important issue for pro-lifers is the Supreme
Court. As long as Roe v. Wade is the law of the land, it doesn't
matter how many hearts and minds we've changed. So it's not
insignificant that McCain has called Justice Samuel Alito too
conservative.
We ended up with David Hackett Souter when a Republican president
was actually looking for an Alito. Imagine how bad it will be when
the "Republican" president isn't even trying.
McCain uses the boilerplate language of all Republicans in saying
he will appoint "strict constructionists." This is supposed to end
all discussion of the courts. But if he's picking strict
constructionists, he will have to appoint judges who will commit
to overturning McCain-Feingold.
That could be our litmus test: Will you hold President McCain's
signature legislation restricting speech unconstitutional?
In 2004, McCain criticized the federal marriage amendment, saying,
it was "antithetical in every way to the core philosophy of
Republicans." Really? Preventing the redefinition of a
10,000-year-old institution -- marriage, that is, not John McCain
-- is part of the core philosophy of being a Republican? I had no
idea.
I'm not a lawyer -- oh wait, yes, I am -- but Republicans were
proposing to amend the Constitution, a process the Constitution
specifically describes.
It's like saying it's antithetical to the core philosophy of
Republicans to require presidents to be at least 35 years old.
It's in the Constitution! And Republicans -- other than the ones
who voted for McCain-Feingold -- support the Constitution. You
might say it's part of our core philosophy.
Of course, back in 2004, McCain was considering running on a
presidential ticket with John Kerry. Realizing that this would not
help his chances to run as a Republican in 2008, when he would be
a mere 120 years old, McCain quickly withdrew his interest in
being on Kerry's ticket.
But he defended Kerry from the Bush campaign's suggestion that
Kerry was not tip-top on national security, saying on the "Today"
show: "No, I do not believe that he is, quote, weak on defense."
So that was helpful.
McCain also explained to an admiring press corps why he wouldn't
want to be anyone's vice president, not even a national defense
champion like Kerry, citing the meager constitutional duties of
the vice president as: (1) to assume the presidency if the
president is incapacitated and (2) "to break a tie vote in the
Senate." (At which point several members of the fawning horde were
heard to remark, "What is this 'Constitution' you speak of,
Senator?")
But McCain conveniently forgot the second of these constitutional
duties just a year later when Vice President Cheney was required
"to break a tie vote in the Senate" on a matter of utmost
importance to liberals: federal judges.
Just one year after McCain had correctly identified one of two
jobs of the vice president, he was indignant that a Republican
vice president might actually exercise one of them. Better to let
a gaggle of 14 Senate malcontents pick the president's judges for
him.
As part of the "Gang of 14," McCain hysterically opposed allowing
the vice president to break a tie on judicial nominations.
Following the Constitution with regard to the role of the vice
president, McCain said, "would be a terrible precedent." Yes, if
members of Congress actually read the Constitution, they might
realize McCain-Feingold is unconstitutional.
If Hillary is elected president, we'll have a four-year disaster,
with Republicans ferociously opposing her, followed by Republicans
zooming back into power, as we did in 1980 and 1994, and 2000. (I
also predict more Oval Office incidents with female interns.)
If McCain is elected president, we'll have a four-year disaster,
with the Republicans in Congress co-opted by "our" president,
followed by 30 years of Democratic rule.
There's your choice, America.
