We just want Jews to be perfected, as they say. That is what Christianity is. We believe the Old Testament, but ours is more like Federal Express. [October 2007 on the CNBC show, The Big Idea with Donny Deutsch (2004), after being asked by the host, Donny Deutsch, whether the US would be a better country if all its citizens were Christians (Coulter said that it would)].

If we took away women's right to vote, we'd never have to worry about another Democrat [sic] president. It's kind of a pipe dream, it's a personal fantasy of mine, but I don't think it's going to happen. And it is a good way of making the point that women are voting so stupidly, at least single women. [October 2, 2007, New York Observer interview with George Gurley]

It would be a much better country (the United States) if women did not vote. That is simply a fact. In fact, in every presidential election since 1950 - except Goldwater in '64 - the Republican would have won, if only the men had voted.

I love it! You know, when I tour college campuses, I always find that the prettiest girls in the room are the ones in the College Republicans.
