Q&A with Ann Coulter




When Ann Coulter came to speak at UCI, I thought that the Q&A session that she held would be worth writing down so I could later share the responses in here as one of my blogs. While I did not manage to get down every question and every answer, here is a fairly thorough and accurate description of the ones I was able to take note of.


Q: Because of McCain’s age, what are the odds he’ll be a one-term president?
A: This makes the VP choice very important, because they have a good chance at ending up
President.


Q: Who would you advise as McCain’s running mate?
A: Romney, he’s a strong candidate. However, because he was governor of Massachusetts he had trouble winning some Republicans over; McCain also said he doesn’t know anything about
economics, this is certainly Romney’s strong suit; Romney was too polite in the debates. I liked Giuliani in the debates.


Q: We see Obama exciting the youth. They have lately been moving more towards the
Democratic side. Our public schools all seem to be entrenched with this kind of ideology.
How can we get more conservatives on school boards?
A: Don’t go to law school, become a teacher! (If you’re a Republican); we get this Chinese-style
brainwashing throughout public school and college.


Q: Would you still defend Pat Buchanan against his charge of anti-semitism?
A: Yes, I would. There are a lot of Jews saying that Pat Buchanan is not an anti-Semite.


Q: Are liberals in this country intentionally doing harm to this country as some sort of a
conspiracy?
A: The idea that we need to sit down with these leaders is crazy; if we need to talk to them, we
can just call them. If they’re going to nuke Iran and then chit-chat, I’m all for it.


Q: Will you vote for McCain even though you don’t like him?
A: She will be voting against Obama. She voted for Bob Dole, it’s not a vivid memory, but
she did it.


Q: Since Hillary is trying to get the women to vote Democrat, would you consider running as
McCain’s VP?
A: I’m a reporter, not a politician.


Q: Do you have any respect for Democrats?
A: There were some things I liked about Democrats 50 years ago like Truman, who were actually capable of fighting a war. No, I doesn’t respect Democrats on domestic issues, but what I really doesn’t understand is why both parties in America are not pro-American?
