Meghan McCain says her Arizona senator dad is “depressed” and “frustrated” with the tea party faction of the Republican Party, which she called “the hyper-conservative wing.”
The comments were part of Meghan’s promo for her new show, which no one will watch, Raising McCain.
As a Tea Party activist, I am all for making both McCains even more frustrated.
One of the most important developments in the new conservative movement has been encouraging regular Americans to participate directly in politics.
In California, that has meant many have gotten involved in local Republican groups and have become versed in the ways of state party politics and its Byzantine rules.
Recently, the Tea Party California Caucus formed in response to the state Republican Party’s continued lack of enthusiasm for formulating and implementing conservative policy.
On Canto Talk, I recently had a chance to interview its founder Randall Jordan, as well as California Tea Party coordinator Dawn Wildman. The caucus recently participated in the California Republican convention in Anaheim; Jordan says they met with “100 % more success” than they were anticipating and now the GOP establishment “can’t ignore us and knows we are not going away.”

Wildman expands on the point, describing the level of enthusiasm she saw for the caucus at the convention:
“The was the hottest ticket of the weekend. And, the most interesting part of it was that it was 100% unadulterated tea party all the way and there was nothing the establishment could do about it.”
Jordan noted that another success was the passage of 4 of the 5 resolutions that the caucus introduced in Anaheim. These resolutions were:
Targeting the end of the Common Core standards in the state. Developing new voter identification rules. Eliminating Agenda 21 enforcement within the state. Resolving to strictly enforce immigration rules already in the books.
According to Jordan, the establishment “took the teeth” out of some of these introduced resolutions. However, the Tea Party members now “know how to play the game” and plan to come back with even stronger resolutions at the next convention.
Additionally, the Tea Party California Caucus is looking to 2014 with an eye toward local elections:
“We are going to focus on local races, going for service districts, school boards, city council seats, in order to get as many tea party members elected as possible,” said Jordan.
Finally, I wrapped it up by noting that the Tea Party has been entirely vindicated in its stance about Obamacare, if the complete failure of the roll-out is any indication. Jordan notes that his group spent only $5000 on their website and it is entirely functional.
The caucus plans on meeting in November to make even more plans.
I think John McCain is acting like old neighbor who tick off with neighborhood kids walking on his grass
Just remind me of the old coot that type of neighbor LOL!
Good news for a change.
Anything to the right of CNN seems "hyper-conservative" to Megs.
“Meghan McCain says her Arizona senator dad is “depressed” and “frustrated”.”
I hate it when the media misspells quote. I’m pretty sure the accurate quote was “Meghan McCain says her Arizona senator dad is “deranged” and “fearmongering”.
when is he finally going to RETIRE, for goodness’ sake!??????
RE: McCain’s spawn.
“Short, fat, and queer is no way to go through life.”
My apologies to a certain Kennedy.
If he can't stand the heat, let him get the Hell out of our damn kitchen.
Finally - a reason aside from 'Common sense' for everyone to like the Tea Party...
I wish he was frustrated enough to just STFU.
The thing of it is, is nothing in McCain's Vietnam experience turned him into a leader or made him qualified to tell other people how to live or what is best for them.
He’s planning to be the energizer bunny and re-up for 2016. Just announced it.

The utube clip on that thread shows him being challenged at a town hall meeting and then talking about why he wants to serve again and is running again.
The Tea Party will take your dad's seat.... Your dad is NO GOLDWATER!!
> Makes me proud to be a TEA Party member.
Ditto. Thanks to Obamacare and the corruption its exposing they should have a lot more members joining pretty soon.
War hero????? When the Navy command say on the side thank G_D the silly shit was shot down as he was close to being an Ace from all the aircraft he had F.U. not in combat. I always felt that maybe a loose wench or small hammer was left behind by a tec.(bless you my son) As for the silly shit that comes out of his mouth, he is not a true American and his oath means nothing to him. What a small sad little man.

Let him run and waste those millions away that could have been used to give food, shelter, and healthcare to thousands of poor liberals (just using their same tricks against him)
hell I would vote for Gabby Gifford even if the old moron ran again!! At least I knew I would be getting a LIBERAL!!
McCain is now haunted by the Hobbits
