Meghan McCain is a few major media appearances away from being known as the "new young Republican" and voice of moderate conservatism, says the Atlantic Monthly.
We don't know about all that, but it is fun sometimes to follow this local celebrity's life on the Internet.
It turns out that we share an appreciation for ...and You Will Know Us By the Trail of Dead. Following her post in the Daily Beast earlier this month in which she laments that she can't find the right man, we were relieved to hear the post has resulted in numerous date offers. On her Twitter site, we learned where she's getting her education in economics.
The Atlantic, which is the magazine that got mixed up in the flap between Meghan's dad and renegade photographer Jill Greenberg, reports on McCain's centrist conservative tendencies -- she calls herself a "progressive Republican."
But soft-pedaling doesn't fly so well in today's polarized environment -- right-wing pundit Laura Ingraham says Meghan, 24, is nothing more than a "useful idiot" to liberals who want to divide and conquer their enemies.
Ingraham may have a point. It's hard to tell which party Meghan McCain is helping more.
She can. The problem is that the only ones she can get are with her dad's rabid fanboys.
What’s the difference? Socialist (progressive) half of the time, or Socialist (progressive) all of the time?
No matter how you slice it, it will become a one party/philosophy system. Only difference is, one side will inflict more damage faster, while the other will do the same thing, only in a slower more deliberate manner.
OK, I give up. Exactly what is “moderate conservatism”? Sounds like an “AKA” for a RINO. These people have already sqauandered the Reagan Revolution and now they want to continue following that up with “being more like Democrats”.
With all due respect Meghan McCain, why not just become a Democrat and get over the sham of portraying yourself as something else. It is exactly your bunch who enabled the Usurper, Onada, to slither his way into the WH.
These are excuses. She is young like you are. She is unable to see her flaws.
She can’t get a date because she is an arrogant tubby.
That is the bottom line.
She is supposed to accepted as a little fatty because she is McLame’s spawn.
That might work if she looked like a playboy model. Instead she runs around passing the blame on conservatives to cover up for her own flaws. Those which could be corrected easily if she had any guts.
“Meghan McCain is a few major media appearances away from being known as the “new young Republican” and voice of moderate conservatism, says the Atlantic Monthly. “
That base is already covered. It’s called the Democrat Party.
To avoid bringing down the level of discussion on this forum, this totally silly and insignificant news like this should be put under general chat and better not to be posted at all.
The insulated wealthy are sometimes funny to watch.
The next generation of McCains has discovered that you can be popular with the media by pretending to be a Republican and then bashing them. I guess the torch has been passed.
But just remembered what they did to your dad the day he ceased being a useful idiot and became just an ordinary idiot.
From the things she’s said recently, she’s actually more of an OLD, LIBERAL DEMOCRAT!
I’d urge her to go over there. The Pubbies have enough of these folks already.
Self nominated I see too!
Let’s get a conservative magazine to push for Zell Miller’s daughter to be the face of the new Democrat.
Just great...
McCain - the disease that keeps on “giving”.
I think you complain too much.
If you don't want to read it, don't click on the thread.
Simple.
Yes madam, I shall follow your orders.
She is stupid, whining, and dishonest. Also she is nor a Republican. Imagine going to pieces over Laura implying she is a plus size as if it were a huge lie.
Orders? LOL.
You were the one telling everyone what *should* be done.
I am simply pointing out that you have a *choice* in the matter.
Yes madam you are absolutely right. I now shall hide in shame.
She better get used to defeat then.
