Appearing on Fox News Channel’s “Red
Eye” last night, conservative firebrand and frequent courter of controversy,
Ann Coulter told the panel that if the choice for the Republican presidential
nominee came down to Texas Rep. Ron Paul or former House Speaker Newt Gingrich
she would prefer Paul.
She stops short of suggesting that
she would vote for Paul in a third party bid as conservative radio host Glenn Beck
recently suggested, but Coulter has serious reservations (like most editorial
board GOPers) about Gingrich’s big government conservatism.
While Coulter curries much favor among
the Tea Party Republican set, not all who are inclined to agree with her combative
Republicanism agree with her.
Popular conservative columnist Joshua Treviñotook
to Twitter
toecho the sentiments of many in the
Republican establishment when he colorfully expressed his reservations about
Paul’s untraditional foreign policy perspectives.
“If it’s
Barack Obama versus Ron Paul, I'm voting for the guy who thought shooting Osama
bin Laden in the face was a good idea,” Treviño tweeted.
He is most assuredly not
alone. Among the 50+ retweets this comment generated, one of them was “Anyone But O 2012” – a draft
Rep. Paul Ryan (R-WI) for president twitter account.
