ABC Touts Meghan McCain as Moderate GOP Voice on Gay Marriage
NewsBusters ^ | April 21, 2009 | Scott Whitlock

"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.

which is why we should use this issue to win us some elections

Even many Dems do not want homosexuals to marry or have this taught in schools.
The public would be horrified if they knew what was going on with their agenda

we need someone to keep hammering this and let the public know the Dem party is for the perverted cross dressing etc etc etc I’ll let other fill in the blanks

Megan McC represents the GOP like Teddy K represents the Catholic Church.

RE “Meghan isn't trying to build a winning GOP. She is trying to destroy it.

She got there too late. Others had already completed that job, her Dad helped too. She is dancing on the ruins maybe.

Meghan isn't trying to build a winning GOP. She is trying to destroy it.

It was clear in February 2008, after he'd clinched the nomination, that John McCain could be dangerous to conservatives should he lose.

But even then, who ever imagined he'd unleash Daddy's little girl to do the dirty work for him long after his defeat? I find it hard to accept that he is the same man who withstood the ordeals of Hanoi Hilton. He's ployed that debt we owed him long enough. It's time for him to go away.

Wow! That was an excellent blog post — and the prediction is right on target, IMO.

Thanks for posting it, and the link.

Thank you for sharing this. The author shows tremendous insight. Too bad more people at every level didn’t head this.

“GOP Voice? What office was she elected to? What position does she hold within the party? Lol!”

Never mind that. She probably didn’t even vote Republican before her father was the candidate. She supported both Gore and Kerry.
