Clint Eastwood: Ann Coulter, Conservatives Very 'Masoschistic'

[Pabster]

Story here.

FTA:

Eastwood has this to say about Ann Coulter?s claim that she would vote for Hillary Clinton over John McCain: "Conservatives, often times, are very masochistic. They say, 'I?d rather not show up than have so-and-so. If it?s not my guy then I won?t show up?. You can?t be that way.

Funny, I seem to recall Clint's brethren screaming about leaving the USA if a certain POTUS were elected...

As for Ann Coulter, meh.

Several have been locked hehe.

As for Clint, I've seen no end of dems on this board stating they won't vote if Hillary gets the nom, so I guess everyone's a little bit of a masochist.

What a banal piece of commentary. Clint Eastwood is a Republican, and even in the article says he is very fond of McCain.

The only comment I recall by his "brethren" (assuming you mean people in the Hollywood community and not Clint's fellow Republicans) was when Kim Basinger told an interviewer that Alec Baldwin would leave the country if Bush were elected. Their subsequent relationship makes it hard to give her account much credence IMO - she seems totally nuts. This is one of those comments that has been taken out of context and taken on a life of its own.

LOL, Pabster, you're flying today.

I dunno, I guess it make sense. McCain and Clinton have somewhat similar social views, they're both pro-war, and they're both assholes. The difference is that the Clinton name has an air of "economic surplus" attached to it, where as McCain has nothing. Am I wrong?

Not that either of them deserve the job, or even respect for that matter. If those two get the nomination, I'll write in or stay home on election day.

That's your problem: You seem to actually care what Hollywood stars think about politics. And then you compound the problem by starting threads about it.

Again sirjonk misses the point. A few dems won't vote for Hillary, but right now it looks like for every dem who won't vote for Hillary, there are about three of four thousand repubs who won't vote for McCain. Now that McCain is unstoppable as a nominee, we witness an entire political party committing suicide. And the same political party that elected GWB with no more than 51% of the vote.

Noting a tendency exists is one thing, but until you can quantify the size of the effect, you
have nothing.

Sorry Eastwood, I?m with Ann on this one.

?GO DEMOCRATS!?

Let us return your values to their belonging and expel them from our base.

Voting for Hillary over McCain to punish the Republicans for moving so far away from, well, Republicanism, is a high cost. Whether or not it is worth it is debatable. What is not debatable is the fact that true conservatives wake up each morning with a sore ass, and we can only hope we didn't catch anything life-threatening.

I'd vote for Paul if he was in the general. Is he going to show up?

I hope so. Him running as a 3rd party will help tell the Republicans that they have lost their way and need to dump these neo-cons.

eh, Conservatives aren't the only ones saying dumb stuff this week. You guys hear that Shuster said the Clintons were "pimping" out their daughter for the campaign? Now thats a bit over the line. I think he has to apologize or something now....

 

[FoBoT]

Ann Coulter just thinks Hillary is hawt, this is just an excuse

 

[Moonbeam]

Republicans need to stop this self destructive bull shit, man-up and start shooting each other.

 

[Jhhnn]

Heh. While many Dems don't favor Hillary, which shows in the polls, I haven't noticed any threatening to cross over and vote for McCain if she wins the nomination...

What happened to that famed Repub discipline and solidarity, and their raving about a permanent majority?

Dems apparently have more sense, and recognize that a McCain presidency wouldn't be much different from the Bush Presidency- more recycled Reagan/Bush advisers and cabinet members, more of the same-same in every respect... At least Hillary's choices wouldn't be openly in contempt of what they're trying to run... the govt itself...

Clint's remarks seem pretty sensible to me.

This made me LOL:

Tonight, on Cavuto's show, Coulter made a new offer: ?If McCain weren?t a dunce, what he would do is take Mitt Romney as his vice president,'' she said on FOX. "That?s the only way, I think, you could get me to vote for him and that?s my final offer.?
