Meghan McCain: Don't look at us like 'dirty moderates' [Sen. McCain chimes in too]
CNN - Political Ticker ^ | 2009-05-02

(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.”

OK I will just look at you as a dirty spoiled brat that needs to shut up and go back to the estate. Or go be with Arlen the Traitor.

Exactly! Meghan McCain thinks she believes in conservative values but she's too much of a coward to stand up for them. Just like her daddy.

““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,’” “

Hey Megan, why don't you take the same advice you were giving to Vice President Cheney a few days back, and just GO AWAY.
The last thing we need in the Republican Party is a fat, ugly woman, with no achievements in life and a big, fat nasty mouth, who thinks she can dictate how Republicans should think.
BTW, if there is anything “dirty” about Meghan McCain , it sure has nothing to do with her being “moderate”. A few other things about her come to mind.

Try this then. If that doesn't work I can't help you. It's not that bad but nice if you like that sort of thing.

That works! ~8-O

My real point was that that is Meghan McCain's level of credibility. She would move up in seriousness if she made a gif like that. lol

She’s mastered the art of keeping herself in the press


Sorta reminds me of the story:

At a dinner party one night, a drunken Churchill asked an attractive woman whether she would sleep with him for a million pounds.

“Maybe,” the woman said coyly.

“Would you sleep with me for one pound?” Churchill then asked.

“Of course not, what kind of woman do you think I am?” the woman responded indignantly.

“Madam, we’ve already established what kind of woman you are,” said Churchill, “now we’re just negotiating the price.”

Yep, that about sums it up.

Little Miss Meghan wants Republicans to be more socially liberal. They’ll win more elections that way. But she also says she’s pro-life. While admirable, a pro-life position is no guarantee of election success. Single women voters are too wedded to the right to kill.

So that leaves homosexual marriage. Miss Muppet says that’s the path to victory. But it’s a loser in the voter booth.

A political genius, she is.

If her father's name were not preceded by "Senator" (and followed by "(R)") the most common reply to anyone mentioning the name "Meghan McCain" would be:

"Who?"

I don't know who Meghan's friend is here but I wish she would jump up and down a few times.

That Sir, is an OUTSTANDING suggestion.

“Meghan McCain: Don’t look at us like ‘dirty moderates’”

I don’t. I look at you like rotten liberals.
