(CNN) — Meghan McCain, daughter of former Republican presidential candidate John McCain, said the GOP is going to have to become more inclusive if it wants to rebuild.

“I just wish that moderates like myself — more moderate Republicans and more socially liberal Republicans — weren’t looked at as, ‘Get rid of the dirty moderates. Get rid of them,’” the 24-year-old told CNN affiliate KTAR radio in a joint interview with her father.

“We need to be an inclusive party. We need to be an umbrella party. We need to inspire 20-somethings, which is something the Obama campaign did very well,” she said on the "Mac & Gaydos" show.

“And it’s not that I think that our message is neither good nor bad — I just think it’s that the Democrats package their message better, and I think if we could be able to communicate with my generation, the Republican Party can really rebuild itself,” she added.

Asked about the coverage she’s been getting for the GOP, McCain said she feels like she’s “speaking out for a lot of young people that don’t feel spoken for.”

I look at her like she deserves to be looked at:

A ditz with a big mouth who has not paid her dues and does not know when to shut up!

she said on the "Mac & Gaydos" show

LOL! You can't make this stuff up!

Oh and yes Meghan... we need to get rid of dirty liberals like you. They pester our tent.

[Sarah Barracuda]

Meghan, do us all a favor and shove a mini sirloin burger into your mouth and shut your fat trap

[tet68]

Ok, not moderate, Democrat Quisling better?

[RochesterFan]

And being the daughter of a losing political candidate gives her standing and credibility how? Just more noise on the internet...

I’d like to ask this dizzy broad just how she is distinguishable from the average dizzy broad who is a democrat. Does she have a big “R” tattooed on her rump?

[chicagolady]

Will someone please tell Meghan to SHUT UP??

[Semper Mark]

dirty moderate?

How about filthy liberal scum then...Ms. Meghan Specter?

[lewisglad]

get her back to shopping for shoes or have her go to Europe, McQueeg!

ALL of these 20 somethings have been liberally brainwashed in school!! They think NOTHING of abortion or Gay "Marriage" for the most part.....most of them do NOT go to Church......they are lost because their parents let them be lost by not instilling good values and by not DEMANDING that their teachers teach right from wrong.

There is a "flow chart" saying about From Slevery to Apathy...can't remember it, but 20 somethings will be BACK in SLAVERY via their taxes and lack of freedom.

[Cicero]

Meghan, I’m sure you’re a very bright and clean and articulate and nice looking moderate.

Now, go take another shower and shut up.

[ElkGroveDan]

‘Get rid of the dirty moderates. Get rid of them,’

My new tagline! Thanks Megster. I've been looking for something new for a while now.
