Talk about the apple not falling far from the tree.
Senator John McCain had been noted in the past as being a straight talker. I think that this aspect about him was sadly muted during his run for President. That said, it seems that the penchant for straight talk can also be found in his daughter, Meghan. Meghan McCain spoke Saturday at the national convention for the Log Cabin Republicans and presented a new face for the GOP: a conservative that is forward looking on issues like the environment and gay rights and yet able to hold on the core values of the party.
In her speech, McCain isnt simply calling for Republicans to use old ideas with new technology ala Twitter and Facebook. She is calling for the GOP to start to wake up the current realities, a says that there is soon to be a civil war within the GOP. Here is a sample of what she had to say:

A young RINO is still very much a RINO.
Hey Meggy, learn what Conservatism is before you bash it, much less co-opt it!
Wellcome to FR and good luck.
Good Lord no, she offers nothing but more Conservative bashing wrapped up in a youthful package...enough of that crap.
Nothing against you, GS. But all Meghan McCain-related articles should be prohibited on FR. Why give her the publicity? We know that she’s splitting the party.
sw
lol...oh great, a party that stands for nothing. could make a great TV series.
Megan McCain speaks for no one but herself and possibly her father. She is being held up by the MSM to try and create dissension inside the party. She is indicative of what the Tea Parties are about. We are sick of her compromising sense of morality and adjustable bounds on common sense. She needs to shut her spoiled little pie hole for 10 years.
She looks like an overweight Bridget (Travel Channel’s Bridget’s Sexiest Beaches). I can tolerate the ditz Bridget but not Meghan the weighty wench.
Cheez, still writing on this topic? About a month late to the game.
She’s no more the face of the GOP than Nasty Pelousy.
No, she most certainly is not.
Though if somebody wants to shove a camera in my face, I’ll be more than happy to give them a piece of my mind.
Anyone who remains in a party that has been consistently abandoning Conservative principles is only empowering the very type of political ideology they claim to be preventing.
She is not a conservative. She is a RINO like her daddy.
Her values are the core values of the Rockefeller Wing of the Republican Party. Those values are a loser - for the Republicans and for America.
Another over-privileged, under-talented off-spring of a mother with inherited wealth and a father who’s been in D.C. too long. The less we hear of her, the better.
I’d vote for Piper Palin before I’d ever vote for another McCain.
ZZZZZZZZZZ. I’m sorry, did she say something I give a crap about?
Agree, this is like C Kennedy ... deserves it because of “who” she is, but “ya know” can’t carry a discussion past 2 words. Why does M McCain still get coverage, she, like here daddy are “has beens” ... go home, help daddy build a fence.
McWho?
