"Good Morning America" on Tuesday highlighted a controversy involving gay marriage and a beauty contest and touted Meghan McCain as an example of a moderate Republican. Reporter David Wright referenced the daughter of Senator John McCain in a piece on the developing story over the Miss USA pageant and whether or not an answer on gay marriage caused the contestant from California to lose the title.
After asserting that gay rights are more mainstream these days, Wright reminded viewers of a decision by the Iowa Supreme Court legalizing same sex marriage. He spun, "And over the weekend, the daughter of the former Republican standard bearer, Meghan McCain, suggested she is all in favor of it." ABC then played a clip of Ms. McCain calling herself a Republican. Of course, just as MSNBC did in a story yesterday on McCain, Wright made no mention of the fact that the senator's daughter voted for John Kerry in 2004 and supported Al Gore in 2000.

Michael Steele needs to be more proactive in defining the Republican Party and defining who speaks for it. This confusion happens when we allow anyone to say they are the voice of the party.
she hasn’t even been a republican for 6 months yet for crying out loud I am sick to death of this girl harping on about homosexuals
look 705 of this country do not want homosexuals to marry, Now the media, and the homosexuals can try and twist this but the majority are not buying into it no matter how many times they show homos on the TV or how many times they go through the courts.
This stupid little girl thinks she has things in common with a porn star because they are both of the birth signs,
this stupid little girl thinks the rappers sex act with a look alike Sarah is cool
she is a complete idiot and I wish the GOP would push this homosexual issue all the way
Do you hear this GOP.
Us the homosexual issue, tell the country we are a party which stands for traditional marriage, and families
it is an election winner, and screw those homosexual groups who will call you a little name.
If they do then state where is their tolerance
We cannot win anything if we do not fight back and seeing as we have the country behind us then friggin us this
Did we have some sort of a caucus and elect her as our spokeswoman?
Chris Simcox for Senate...
a stupid spoilt little brat who has been a republican for less than 6 months now tells us that it is we who have to change and seeing as the majority of Americans oppose homos then I do not see why we always shut up about this issue
Do you have Meghan McCain in your Google alerts or something? She hasn’t earned the print she is accumulating and she doesn’t speak for the GOP. She is a little girl trying to live off of her daddy’s name and be a little rebel to boot. The media will use her like they did her Dad and then kick her to the curb.
We aren’t Democrats. This is not the Kennedy dynasty. And NOBODY gets to be the voice of anyone through lineage.
not even the base, she is i contradiction to the majority in this country infact 70% say they oppose homosexuals in marriage
If this was my daughter I swear I would tell her to shut the hell up.
Has she ever had a full time job?
There is no GOP voice on gay marriage and should not be. When Perez Hilton asked Miss California whether marriage should be defined as being between a man and a woman, she replied in the affirmative and the audience cheered loudly, thus agreeing with her.
Any GOP candidate who supports gay marriage will lose their election. And not because ALL Republicans don’t support gay marriage (some unfortunately do - and they’re not really Republicans anyways), but because the AMERICAN PEOPLE, by and large, reject it - and will continue to reject it.
The irony is that it’s been a proven loser position for both parties - I mean, hasn’t Obama even come out against gay marriage?
Megn loves gays ping.
This just shows what a vacuum there is in the R party. Another thing Megn doesnt address is 1) how many homo’s votes there are to gain , vs 2) How many Christian R voters will get turned off. And why does BoB claim to be against same sex marriage if it’s a winning issue.
Many in the D party are not with Megn on this.

Michael Steele is no more a spokesman for the Republican Party than any McCaine is, but I digress. I think little Princess McCain is planning for a career in politics. Mom’s petty cash fund could buy her a seat. God help us. She’s as looney as her papa. As arrogant and as deaf to public opinion too.
We need an anti pop movement. Pop is bad, and Meghan is toxic to brain cells, even if she is an inspiration to chubby air-heads everywhere.
My vote is NO. She ain’t my voice.
I think we need to start calling all of these celebutards, politicrats and the like “POP TARTS” when they start spewing out idiot garbage and just ridicule them to shut up, they’re embarassing themselves.
Meghan McCain is nobody. She has done nothing of any importance to earn her the news coverage she seems to be getting. Stop it already!
With chewed bits of Milky Way flying happily from his lips, the son of robbed presidential candidate Al Gore made his claim to be the new voice of moderation and hipness for the Democratic Party.
"I'm so friggin' in touch with today's Generalization Y crowd! And I'm young, slighty roundish in a fun way, and I like to party! I'm the left wing Meghan McCain and I'd like some freaking airtime."
"Two words "freaking legalize it!" That's my message to today's undecided young voters. The Democratic Party needs to absorb my message into its very derma, man."
Another issue that animates the vibrant young voice of his generation is grape soda.
"Grape soda rocks! Rocks harder with vodka! I'm the Grape Ape, full of stoli and interesting positions on the issues! Woooo!"
"Like this one time, my moms she was swatting some imaginary flies around her head, and I said, 'Nehi Tips. Grape Nehi-Stoli and she liked it and calmed down. That's the sort of thing thats missing from the Democratic Party's message."
Many analysts agree that the Democratic Party message is in danger of becoming stale. New, exciting personalities, like the effed-up spawn of a failed presidential candidate, may be just the messenger the party needs to bring its message to the ever expanding youth vote.
"Wooo!!" yelled Al Gore III, before vomiting onto his shoes. "Free Palestinia!"
Well, how much clout did Cheney’s gay daughter get?
I agree..
Hammer the gay marriage issue, along with immigration and taxes and ride those sons of b*tches all the way to a sweep of Congress in 2010....
As for chubby Meghan, let her go lez out with Rosie and shut her piehole.
The sooner this imbecile is acknowledged for what she is, a liberal, the sooner we can put her in the same camp as other liberal twits like Cindy Sheehan, Janeane Garofalo, and a long list of others.
agreed
we have a platform which is popular with the majority of America
homosexual marriage
illegal immigration
taxes
strong military
should be no pork
against contraceptives given to little girls at school without the parents knowing
these positions will win elections for us and instead of using them the GOP will not use them because they might be called a name off the whack job loony left
If they are called names the it is easy to counter
we say excuse me but calling peoples names is stopping us from having dialouge and please my young children know not to call people names so stop with this will you
if they say you are intolerant then reply
excuse me but where is your tolerance to my positions and views
All we need is someone who can sell our message and have some balls/guts.
Instead we get the likes of McCain , his staff and daughter harping on about we love homos, we love illegals,
for crying out loud will they please shut up
Crap if I had name recognition I’ll get out there and counter them. I don’t care if they call me names.
I’m sure that after me being infront of rounds nearly hitting me and in war zones I can put up with some far left loon calling me a name
