Reagan and Goldwater Would Be Considered 'RINOs' Today, Says Meghan McCain
CNN / Newsbusters ^ | 2010-10-01

Posted on 10/02/2010 2:12:59 PM PDT by rabscuttle385

Meghan McCain apparently thinks there will be a "bloodletting" in the GOP in the next election, because the party has no room for controversial socially liberal figures like her.

Appearing on CNN's "American Morning" Thursday, McCain criticized the current state of the Republican Party, which she believes is too conservative and narrow-minded...

(snip)

When the subject of "RINOs" (Republican-In-Name-Only) surfaced, McCain asserted that conservative icons Barry Goldwater and Ronald Reagan "would both be called that today." In addition, McCain had dark predictions for the GOP in the "next election," predicting a party purge of sorts.

(snip)

CNN co-anchor Kiran Chetry did not challenge McCain's questionable claims, but rather set up the podium for her to criticize the Republican Party.

(snip)

CHETRY: ...are you afraid that the party is changing or going in a direction that's going to leave it in the dust when it comes to attracting young people?

MCCAIN: Oh, yeah. I'm scared of a bloodletting in the next election. If you're throwing out people like me who really want to be here and really want to fight for the Republican Party and I'm considered controversial, there's a lot of people out there, especially young people that aren't going to beg to be able to be allowed to be in the Republican Party. And I think that's what really dangerous right now.

And if you only want a certain group of people, you're just going to innately have less voters. So, that's where I get confused about what people are actually thinking when they call me RINO or -- you know, Barry Goldwater and Ronald Reagan would both be called that today.

Of course there's going to be a purge, Meghan. A purge of the progressive statist RINO cancer that you and your parents epitomize!

Wrong. The reality is that JFK would be considered a conservative today.

She really is a doofus. Her dad should spank her. But maybe that is where she is getting her ideas. Here’s an idea: Ann Coulter can factually document how stupid she is. LOL

Unfortunately, I never got a chance to meet President Reagan but as a young man, I was lucky enough to have a few one on one conversations with Barry Goldwater in the early mornings along the rim of the Grand Canyon back in the 60s. Sen. Goldwater wasn’t a RINO then and he wouldn’t be a RINO today. Gag me with a spoon Meghan. I don’t know what books you’ve been reading.

There is a word from a Reagan era TV show that describes Ms. McCain quite well. She’s a Dingbat.
