Meghan McCain: "I Almost Registered as a Democrat"
usmagazine.com ^ | July 31, 2008

Posted on 07/31/2008 6:02:47 PM PDT by Free ThinkerNY

Republican presidential candidate John McCain's daughter Meghan is just 23-years-old, but she's had her own political evolution.

"I almost registered as a Democrat to be rebellious, but I registered as an Independent instead," she tells Glamour in its September issue. "Then my dad bragged about it, so it backfired."

Meghan, a self-described "total daddy's girl," registered as a Republican as a Father's Day gift last month.

Though she's been crossing the country by bus to help the campaign, she takes issue with parts of the GOP platform.

"I don't relate to the hard right," she admits. "I think it's time to reinvent the Republican Party. And I think my dad can do it."

You’re not elucidating...you’re putting the board to sleep.

Hildy was never banned in the first place! Not ever.
The FR management values her very much.

For what its worth, Ron Reagan and his Playboy-posing sister are actual registered Democrats.

I wish to thank her for summing up why, as bad as Obama is, I cannot vote for John McCain either.

Oh yes, factoring in what some candidate's twit-headed young daughter says to make an important decision as to who to vote for. I'd like to thank you for summing up why people like me can't take you seriously.

"Hildy was never banned in the first place! Not ever. The FR management values her very much."

You expect us to beleive that? Read some of Jim Robinson's Op-Ed's, and his opinion of your RINO candiate.

And secondly, I have not gotten one McCain supporter at FR to explain McCain's comment that Pelosi is a hero. Would you mind enlightening us?

Thanks for saying, what I have been thinking for a long time. McCain is not my ideal, but he is what we have.< p> I also don't think he is that bad.

If you get confused between OMessiah and McCain, your issues are much deeper than what can be offered to you on Free Republic.

Looks like I hit a nerve. Are your moronic tendencies congenital or is it learned behavior? Did you have to practice?

The GOP didn’t choose to run him. He chose to run and he won the primaries based on the endorcement of the New York Times. The Times then waited a month and then released the so-called “scandal”.

We had good candidates and they lost because of the liberal media. Not everyone owns a computer. Duncan Hunter comes to mind. If Hunter had liberal leanings, the California press wouldn’t have left him alone.

And now, you are working to elect Obama like it not or else we wouldn’t be having this conversation.

And you satisfy the fact that you must vote for such a poor candidate by telling people like me that I am working to elect Obama.

Whatever floats your boat. Reality can be a b#tch.

When McLoser opens the border and institutes cap and trade, you can have a party.

I won’t be.

When Barak Hussein Obama opens the border,institutes cap and trade, takes property/money from those that have to give to those who don’t have, appoints all judges in the land, and takes over every Federal institution, you can have your party. You worked hard for it.
