While you might THINK Ann Coulter would complain about McCain's supposed RINO opinions on social issues (I'm very dubious of any claims that McCain is not "conservative" enough), she was actually complaining about . . . the war. Yes, the war. She is allegedly convinced that Hillary Clinton will be MORE AGGRESSIVE about the war on terror. Really. I don't think she's stupid enough to take Clinton's occasional "OMG KILL TERRORISTS!" outbursts seriously, which is why I was wondering if it was a scam. Clinton is seriously schizophrenic on the war, depending on to whom she is speaking. Meanwhile, I've only ever heard McCain try to develop new strategies, not "end an illegal war" or whatever the current liberal catchphrase is. Do I want a president beholden in any way to the hippie liberal base? Hell no! "We are immediately leaving Iraq and sending Iran a gift basket by way of apology for imposing our imperialist values next door." Unless Clinton is talking to a free speech group, in which case we're invading Iran.
I suspect that "let children live their dreams" is possibly a reference to the "free college for everyone" debate that was in the news for a while months ago? Maybe? I don't know, I think it's a horrible idea, for economic supply/demand reasons. But, my true favorite wacky Dem policy from this primary (man, I love primaries!) was Edwards' "if you don't go to the doctor at least once a year, you will be BREAKING THE LAW." That's right, the government will penalize you for making YOUR OWN CHOICES about YOUR OWN HEALTH CARE. Yes, the government knows what's good for me better than I do. Maybe the government can take control of my property for me next. But anyway, yes, I wish people would also specify more about their social policies, because even though I'm pretty darn socially conservative, I still want social policies that will be efficient and will actually achieve what people want to achieve.
