Meghan McCain: GOP Should Support Gay Marriage

Meghan McCain, daughter of former presidential hopeful John McCain, said she supports gay marriage and lashed out against anti-gay Republicans in her blog on The Daily Beast today.

"People may always have a difference of opinion on certain lifestyles, but championing a position that wants to treat people unequally isn't just un-Republican. At its fundamental core, it's un-American," she wrote.

The mini maverick declared her support for same-sex marriage and urged more Republicans to embrace the gay and lesbian community -- a move she thinks is "vital to the future success of the party."

"Sometimes, gay Republicans are regarded in the same vein as 'Jews for Hitler,' but my father garnered nearly 28 percent of the gay vote in the last election," McCain wrote.

The young blogger warned against conservative rhetoric that often sends an unwelcoming message to gay voters. She also criticized her father's former foe Barack Obama.

"President Obama, for instance, is also against gay marriage -- a dirty little secret many of my gay friends were shocked to discover. But you'd never know it because he always 'sounds' so inclusive," she wrote.

McCain will be speaking about gay rights at the Log Cabin Republicans' national convention this week.

Is a female RINO a RINOette?

Meghan McCain: GOP Should Support Gay Marriage

Uh, Meghan, even the majority of AMERICANS don't support gay marriage.

[swain_forkbeard]

“She is a Democrat, right?”

I read she was an independent who voted for Kerry. So what does that make her? I’ll leave that answer to others.

What she is, is an opportunist. She wants fame and money in some combination.

Think about it. In the Dem party she’d be just another ditzy, more-fame-than-brains, celebutante. There are so many of them. But in the GOP, she stands out.

Right, alienate the 55-60% of the population that doesn't want to change what marriage is in order to appeal to two to three percent of the population. Brilliant, Meghan.

How much longer before Meghan comes out of the closet as a lesbian?

[bboop]

No one I would rather NOT take advice from than a young twit.

[Texas4ever]

Honestly why does anyone care what Megan McCain thinks?

[dforest]

Bossie McHawg strikes again.

Seems like nothing will shut her up. She fails to understand that nobody cares what she thinks(if you can call what she does thinking).

[b4its2late]

LOL

[MrB]

Seems like nothing will shut her up.

[SJSAMPLE]

Actually, that guy (Penn Jilette) would agree with Meghan.
And he’s done so on his show “Bullsh!t”.
He’s right on A LOT of issues (gun control, environmentalist, etc.).

I, however, disagree with both of them on this issue.

[dforest]

Ah yes, Hawg-en Daz. LOL

[padre35]

At what point does Meghan McCain finally lose whatever cache’ that it is that makes here quoteworthy?

How much addled brained nonsense can spew forth before it becomes apparent that she really doesn’t have much weight when she speaks? Or is she ever condemned to being a useful idiot?
