Ann Coulter Blasts Chris Christie, Says He’s ‘Off My List’ For 2016 In Fiery CPAC Speech

Source: C-SPAN - Mediaite

Conservative pundit Ann Coulter trashed New Jersey Governor Chris Christie over his position on immigration during her a lively speech at CPAC this evening. Coulter emphasized that the battle over immigration reform should now be the most important thing Republican activists are fighting over in the coming years and because of this she has disowned the popular New Jersey governor.

Coulter didn’t exactly wait to take on Christie by making fun of his weight in remarks where she tied sequester cuts to his exclusion from the annual conservative confab. “Even CPAC had to cut back on its speakers this year…by about 300 pounds,” said Coulter, drawing ooos and guffaws from the crowd.

Christie has fallen out of favor with Coulter because of position immigration more than anything else. Coulter said that the fate of the Republican Party actually rests in how this issue plays out. “If amnesty goes through America becomes California and no Republican will ever win another election,” she said.

Coulter said she is a single issue voter now and if you support amnesty, you’re not in here wheelhouse for 2016 anymore. “I’m now a single-issue voter against amnesty, so Chris Christie’s off my list,” she said.

In addition to torching Christie, she took on Todd Akin and other controversial conservative Republican candidates that made comments about rape. “We can’t anticipate every candidates mistake but we can stop encouraging our candidates from showing off for the base positions that aren’t even our positions,” she said.

“It’s not the position of the National Right To Life Committee that a woman should carry the baby of her rapist. I think our position is “No, absolutely, exceptions for rape and abortion, Now we should talk about 99% of the other abortions. Hey! Where did all Democrats go. I think our position is, also, locking up the rapist and not giving tim the right to vote like the Democrats want to,” said Coulter.

Sarah Palin could be viewed as stupid but harmless. Keeping Ann Coulter relevant is the best thing Dems can do, because nobody but the most vile, insane people of this country agree with a word that spews out of her hate-filled mouth.

We need to keep her front and center, and make average Americans realize that this is how the far right actually thinks.

4. Ann Coulter: This country needs Chris Christie
Sat Mar 16, 2013, 09:54 PM
Mar 2013

For the second time in a week, conservative commentator Ann Coulter said this country needs N.J. Gov. Chris Christie to run for president, reports The Hill.

“I don’t care if (Chris Christie) wants to run, his country needs him, it appears,” Coulter said in a Monday interview with Fox News. “There are a few things he’s a little bit soft on… We have to run somebody and if we don’t run Chris Christie, it’s going to be Romney because Republican primary voters for some reason refuse to do any research before voting. They vote for the name of anyone they’ve ever heard before.”

During her speech at Saturday’s Conservative Political Action Conference, Coulter said President Barack Obama will be reelected for a 2012 presidency if Christie decides not to run against him.

The plan is: Bat-shit crazy conservatives purposely denounce Christie which makes him look even more appealing to moderates weary of the clown show and the only sane choice for '16.

All her other politics are pragmatic means to try to salvage white privilege. She cares nothing about abortion, except she wants more white babies to calm her demographic panic. She is by no means apolitical. But much of her blather is nonsense, even to her.

represents the majority of the Rep party
and it's the reason why government can't work.

It is hobbled by obstructionism. Christie and Obama provided
a perfect example of how two parties can work together to
get something done (the hurricane response)

Coulter hates this concept, of course. Compromise is for pussies.
Cooperation means doing what republicans want. Good government
is total, one-party rule.

She is a fascist but doesn't know that she is.
