The McCain Family [vanity]

Today, a certain Freeper asked a good FRiend of mine if she was "tired yet of hating# on the McCain family." [1]

As the keeper of the McCain Truth File ping list, I can say with complete certainty that I am not.

It should be publicly known by now that I throughly detest Sen. John McCain of Arizona, and that's putting it nicely. From his amnesty for illegal aliens (McCain-Kennedy) to carbon cap-and-trade (McCain-Lieberman), campaign finance "reform" (McCain-Feingold), and his grandstanding with regard to a certain recent massive Socialist bailout for the financial services industry, McCain has a long, well-documented, and indisputable record of spitting in the faces of the Republican Party's conservative majority as he "crosses the aisle" to prostitute himself to the leftist Democrat Party. And, while he is certainly not the most egregious example of a Republican In Name Only, or RINO, McCain is notorious for his lust for attention, evidenced in his frequent desire to whore himself out to the drive-by media as a supposed representative of the Republican Party and the conservative movement on the whole.

To cut to the chase: McCain is a RINO, a Vichy Republican, a modern day Benedict Arnold, and a sellout of the highest order, and no amount of pointing to his dubious record as a Prisoner of War in Vietnam is sufficient to absolve him of his subsequent treachery as a post-War civilian legislator.

Now, as for his daughter, Meghan, she is a spoiled, ditzy little brat, born with a silver spoon in her mouth. The spawn of the American political elite, pampered from day one by her rich and politically-powerful family, she earned a degree in a wholly useless major, Art History, at a prominent University that she attended probably, and in my own opinion, due to her family's money and political status. [By her own admission, even, she has never taken a single course in economics [2], and, despite reading and reading about economics, just can't "understand it" [3].] Meghan lives in a "loft" that her parents bought for her [4] when many Americans are struggling just to pay their taxes, so that her father can take home a six-digit salary. And, what sort of real job has she ever held? Writing for a leftist rag like The Daily Beast does not count!

Less than one year after formally joining the Republican Party, and on the record as voting for John Kerry, Meghan McCain has the gall to publicly lecture the same folks whom she voted against in 2004 and quite possibly 2006 and 2008. And, what's even worse: at the same time, she presumes the capacity and credibility to berate and slam conservatives everywhere, regardless of political affiliation, as "extreme." [5] In other words, she's a presstitute, just like her father.

Laura Ingraham was right and proper to call her out as a "plus-sized" valley girl [6] and a "useful idiot" for the leftists [7], because that's exactly what Meghan McCain is: a younger, female version of her pathetic, treacherous RINO father.

[I'm not even going to touch the topic of how the McCain family treated the Palin family during the campaign, though I am certain that there are Freepers who have quite a bit to say on the topic.]

So, to return to the question: I'm not "tired of hating on the McCain family," and I believe that the folks on my ping list, as well as many Freepers, hold similar sentiments to varying degrees. Frankly, the McCain family, for the most part, continues to spit on Republicans and conservatives (note that the two groups are not always equivalent) and appears wholly unrepentant, with respect to the awful campaign they ran in last year's election, all the way down to Sen. McCain's open admission that Obama was a good man. [8] [The exceptions here are Cindy McCain and Bridget McCain, who seem to be the only members of the McCain family with any semblance of class and any legitimate claim to my respect.]

I believe that I, and the majority of Freepers, as well as conservatives not represented here, have good reason to detest John McCain and his daughter Meghan. With "conservative Republicans" like them, who needs Democrats? Those two, along with the rest of their Vichy RINO tag team, including but not limited to Sen. Graham of South Carolina, Sens. Susan Collins and Olympia Snowe of Maine, Sen. Specter of Pennsylvania, Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger of California, and Gov. Charlie Crist of Florida, will, if they have not already done so, be largely at fault for the destruction of the Republican Party as a mainstream vehicle for the conservative movement.

As a final note, that same Freeper, almost fifteen months ago, publicly claimed that McCain "could handily beat Hillary! if he gets the nomination" [9]. Well, here we are, and I ask that same Freeper, as well as the rest of the RINOs, Party Firsters, GOP shills, and any McCainiacs still left un-zotted on FR, if McCain couldn't even beat a lightweight empty suit novice Marxist, then how exactly did you expect him to beat a real Marxist like Hillary? And, with folks like him and his daughter presuming themselves the leaders of the Republican Party today, how exactly do you expect conservatism within the Party to survive and go on to defeat the Democrats and other leftists this fall, next year, and in 2012?

# As an aside, I most frequently observe the verb "hate" (and its derivative forms) espoused by leftists, certainly not conservatives who frequent Free Republic. Why some Freepers and self-described conservatives choose to make use of the word is beyond me.

I know I am behind on my McCain stuff but here on The View Meghan McCain claims that Laura Ingrahm (who I really enjoy) said “She's fat, so she (poor Megn) shouldnt have an opinion” and poor Megn also told those liberal nuts on The View that she is only trying to get young women interested in the idiological future of the Republican party(our saviour!). BTW: Ingrahm played the tape tonight on Factor FNC of what she really said. Youtube/View/McCain whining:

Meghan McCain On “The View”: “Kiss My Fat Ass!”

Disclaimer : “ Nothing in this reply is intended or to be interpreted as saying that chubby clueless women cannot attack thin conservative informed women for making fun of their RINO fathers”

I agree.

Meghan is dishonest as well as a spineless, whiny wimp. Even if somebody called her fat - which Laura did not - big deal.

Remember the things said about Paula Jones? I heard a left radio talk show host - Miller somebody, I forgot the first name - bash Ann Coulter in the most disgusting way, primarily her appearance. She did it many times. Yet I recall not a single outcry. The lies about Palin were outrageous, especially about her son not being her son. Like Laura pointed out, Rush has been called fat and worse. The list goes on.

First of all, what Laura said was nothing to get excited over. And it has been made into something it was not. It was just a quip.

I recall MSM going ballistic over Ann Coulter's quip about John Edwards and John Rocker's general comments that were not even directed at anyone specific. But MSM has said little to nothing about Miller's hate speech and the many outlandish gaffes by Obama, Hillary, McCain, Biden, and other libs. What about Olberman's hysterical ranting about O'Reilly that remind one of "a woman scorned?"
