Ann Coulter: 'Idiots' Who Vote Libertarian Will Cost GOP The Senate Majoirty

[big_dog]

Conservative pundit Ann Coulter on Wednesday laid out the strategy she thinks will help the GOP win the Senate, trying to scare Republicans into following her detailed instructions. She seemed incredibly concerned that libertarian candidates and the people that vote for them will ruin the election for everyone.

"The biggest current danger for Republicans is that idiots will vote for Libertarian candidates in do-or-die Senate elections, including Kentucky, Kansas, North Carolina and Colorado," she wrote in her column, adding that the independent candidate in the Kansas race also poses a threat to the party. "Democratic candidates don't have to put up with this crap — they're even trying to dump the official Democrat in Kansas to give the stealth Democrat a better shot."

In close races, libertarian candidates could pull votes from Republicans, helping out the Democrat, especially in states like Louisiana and North Carolina. "When we're all dying from lack of health care across the United States of Mexico, we'll be deeply impressed with your integrity, libertarians," Coulter wrote. "Which brings me to my final assignment this week: If you are considering voting for the Libertarian candidate in any Senate election, please send me your name and address so I can track you down and drown you."

Coulter also ordered Kansas Sen. Pat Roberts to "spend every day from now until Nov. 4 campaigning" and told conservatives to donate to Scott Brown in the New Hampshire race http://talkingpointsmemo.com/livewire/ann-coulter-gop-senate-worried

1. I've been telling every teabagger I know they should vote Libertarian

I tell them that the GOP doesn't represent their views, that the Libertarian party is the best fit for them.

Funny thing is, many of them tend to agree.

If it helps to fracture the GOP and ensure that we take firm control, then I'm fine with it.

4. she mentioned Kansas twice, must mean that Orman will caucus with the Senate Dems

plus Pat Roberts has run a terrible campaign so far

[KamaAina]

16. He is a former Dem

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greg_Orman#2008_U.S._Senate_race

Orman was a Democratic candidate in Kansas's 2008 United States Senate election, but dropped out before the primary.

2. Ruh-roh! Someone's picture is about to placed on dart boards across America!

[JHB]

25. Again?

She was regarded as turncoat by the wingnuts during the 2012 Clown Parade, when she backed Mittens while the "anybody but Mitt" train was still steaming for Washout Gulch.

3. Even a blind squirrel....

[loyalsister]

5. Never thought I would think that I hope she's right now and after the elections

I think her ego is big enough that she cares more about being remembered as knowing "the truth" than trashing her party's agenda.

[WonderGrunion]

21. She was right in 2012 when she siad Mitt Romney

will be the nominee and he would lose to President Obama.

[0rganism]

6. "please send me your name and address so I can track you down and drown you"

is that the kind of thing that conservatives find motivating and/or amusing?

i do not understand.

[Orsino]

7. Meanwhile the idiot Senate minority has cost us our economy and our lives. n/t

[gratuitous]

8. Confidence seems to be slipping

Gee, and I thought the GOP had a mortal lock on this off-year election. More and more of their leading lights seem to be voicing some doubt about the inevitable Republican wave come November.

Democrats, four things:
1. Get
2. Out
3. The
4. Vote.

9. And this is supposed to be a problem?

[oldandhappy]

10. Hope she is correct!!

[CJCRANE]

11. At least Libertarians have principles.

Principles I mostly disagree with, but principles nonetheless.

[TeamPooka]

15. Fuck the Libertarians. nt

[CJCRANE]

17. If they split the GOP, works for me.

[Vogon_Glory]

12. Maybe Those Big Government-Hating Libertarians Are Having A Political Awakening

Maybe those "big government"-hating Libertarians are having a political awakening--they're only now realizing what Barry Goldwater realized twenty years ago--that today's Republican Party might be against government regulation of big business, but the Republicans are all for meddling in people's private lives using government and licensed pietistic vigilantes.

I still disagree with Libertarians as much as I ever did, but it is entertaining to see that libertarian-minded R's might do something about the deep-friend Dixiecrat crony-capitalists' and Televangical's co-option of their political rhetoric.

[Turbineguy]

13. I suggest libertarians piss their pants

to warm themselves up.

[TeamPooka]

14. Same problem here. I worry about the Dems who want to vote Libertarian. Fuck Rand Paul! nt

[Erich Bloodaxe BSN]

27. There aren't any of note.

There are Dems who warn that Paul is more of a threat than people take him for, not any that actually support his sorry self. That was just another in a long line of untrue smear attacks on lefties.

[TeamPooka]

31. You're new here. Wait til you see the libertarians shit bubble up. Rand Paul has fans here. Thats

why we need to crush them and their stupidity at all times.
Fuck Rand Paul.

[Warren Stupidity]

18. at least she is admitting that rightwing liberloons are idiots. nt.

[tanyev]

19. May Ann Coulter finally be right about something.

[Johonny]

20. So basically; only the idiots potentially vote for the GOP. Their party lost without them.

Thanks for clearing that up Ann.

[JI7]

22. I hope so

[Raine]

23. Well it cost us the Presidency in 2000, doesn't feel so good does it Annie! nt

[bigwillq]

24. Poor Libertarians. No one loves them.

[Erich Bloodaxe BSN]

26. I hope she's right on this one. nt

[Wellstone ruled]

28. Look into the mirror Geogh,

Stupid Aye.

[edgineered]

29. "When we're all dying from lack of health care across the United States of Mexico"

nice to learn of her support for public health care. and her acceptance of more lenient immigration laws.

is this the same person?

[NaturalHigh]

30. It's sort of the flip side of the Nader syndrome.

Fourteen years after the 2000 election, I still read posts some people who seem to hate Nader almost as much as George Bush because he had the temerity to exercise his right to run for President.

[Rassah]

32. LOL!

Younger generation is rejecting the old stuffy corporatists and their "small government" promises and HUGE government policies. Yay for the continuing collapse of the repub party!

"please send me your name and address so I can track you down and drown you"

I hope some libertarian in a state with "Stand Your Ground" law actually does this.

[Kingofalldems]

33. Why don't you post this GOP news somewhere else?

Perhaps Discussionist.
