Like Father, Like Daughter: Meghan McCain on The Rachel Maddow Show [hits Rush, conservatives, CPAC]
MSNBC via YouTube ^ | 2009-03-11

Posted on 03/12/2009 5:34:06 PM PDT by rabscuttle385

Link to Rachel Maddow interview with Meghan McCain on MSNBC (Total Time: 9:59)

"...there are people who think we should go back to our conservative roots, become extreme conservatives" (emphasis mine) (1:26)

Maddow identified Tim Pawlenty as being on McCain's side. (1:42)

"I love the Republican Party and I'm trying to help it." (2:11)

"...the poster child for moderate Republicanism..." (Maddow, talking about McCain) (2:44)

"I still consider myself a Republican." (emphasis mine) (4:04)

"...we're never going to create a dialogue, meet in the middle..." (talking about Republicans appearing on Maddow's show, Maddow appearing on Fox) (4:17)

"And I hate extreme." (4:20)

"And we all get along. We can find a middle ground. And I think, just, I think it's a generational thing. I'm twenty-four, and I think possibly people who are in their fifties, sixties, you know, seventies, it's different." (4:28)

"What I feel, is if we were truly reaching out to this many young people, wouldn't we have done better in the election with younger people? And yes, there are a lot of young people who go to CPAC, but I didn't even really want to go to CPAC." (6:40)

"We need to think broadly. I don't think we can just think about how we can get more conservative Republicans drawn to the Republican Party. I think we need to see how we can get independent-minded young individuals who just wanna know about politics and have then drawn to the Republican Party." (7:10)

Agrees with Maddow that conservative Republicans (including Rush Limbaugh) should be "called out more" by moderates. (7:20)

McCain: "I was an independent before; [garbled] vote Democrat." (9:07) [Maddow notes that McCain only became a Republican on Father's Day (presumably 2008).]

"I agree with my father..." (9:22)

"I didn’t even take econ in college. I don’t completely understand it." (9:38)

On economics: "Of all the things, I keep reading, and I just don’t understand it." (9:45)

“I didn’t even take econ in college. I don’t completely understand it.”

Suicide mission to the center of her pants? :-O

She's certainly much more attractive that the average female of her species.

Meg looks like she has dark roots.

If you’re talking about Judy....I don’t want to think about her cuffs.

Just got another request for money, despite the replies I have sent suggesting he retire. Guess they don’t read those either. This is another reason not to contribute.

***You’re still getting them, too? I’ve emailed him and have NEVER received a response. The only time I do hear from him is when he needs money...kind of like the black sheep in the family.

I wondered how far you were going to follow that train of thought...

Too far. The idea of gray, there, had never before entered my mind. Oh well. :-p
