January 22, 2010 (LifeSiteNews.com)-Cindy McCain, the wife of former Republican presidential candidate John McCain, has joined a campaign supporting same-sex "marriage" by having her picture taken for the campaign's website, and has prompted the senator to issue a clarifying statement reaffirming his opposition to gay "marriage." In a photo for the group, NOH8, she has "NOH*" written on her face (the letters are a reference to Proposition 8, California's ban on same sex "marriage") and has her mouth covered in silvery duct tape........

Shortly before the 2008 election I asked a gay friend which candidate he supported. When he replied “Obama,” I asked why, and my friend said that he was a single-issue voter (the single issue being gay marriage) and Obama was obviously going to legalize gay marriage nationwide, whereas McCain was a stodgy old conservative and therefore self-evidently an enemy of gay rights. I pointed out that Obama was all over the map and had made conflicting statements about his attitudes toward gay marriage, telling gay groups that one day same-sex marriage will be seen as normal, while on the other...

Gay rights are a key issue of the day – and certainly within the family of Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz). Cindy McCain is now involved with the NOH8 campaign, a photo project and silent protest in support of equal marriage rights for all Americans. On Wednesday, the NOH8 organization released their photo of the wife of McCain on its website. McCain appears in all white clothing, with one hand over her heart, wearing the campaign’s signature: silver duct-tape across her mouth. “We’ve often been surprised at some of the different individuals who have approached us to showing their support. Few,...

Following the president’s speech where he promised to end “Don’t Ask Don’t Tell,” Meghan McCain – pro-gay rights pundit and daughter to Sen. John McCain – weighed in on the Daily Beast blog. Now, I cannot speak for my brothers, but I know many men and women who serve in the military. Let’s give them more credit. Just as there are no atheists in foxholes, I suspect it could be said that there is no homophobia in foxholes either. I find it hard to imagine that when a soldier is in a Humvee fighting terrorist insurgents, that the thing on...

SNIP At this point, someone (maybe her mother?) suggested she should speak for the youngin' mavericks out there. She anointed herself head cheerleader on a one-woman squad, and went to work on her vision of a new Republican Party. A kinder, more gentle GOP where all everyone felt loved. In essence, one that would look more like an elephant in donkey's clothing. SNIP Then came the blogs ... oh the blogs! Posts riddled with self-indulgent drivel and giggling suggestions on how bring more youth into the listless party fold. "Go Gay, GOP!" Each had one overarching theme: To win, the...

Meghan McCain has got to go Dumb as a rock, and with her face everywhere, she, like omg, doesn't understand why people don't want her around: "What do Malkin and the other conservative pundits hope to accomplish by arguing that people “like me” have no place within the Republican Party? And who exactly are people “like me”? Young people? Moderate people? Young female people? People with tattoos who go to biker rallies?" No, people who are morons and don't know what the hell they're talking about yet get to be on TV as the token "Republican". Those people. She goes...

The Daily Beast's Meghan McCain on why the far-right pundit, who says McCain needs to shut up, won’t be getting her wish—and why telling moderates to get out of the party is bad for the GOP. BY MEGHAN MCCAIN Michelle Malkin, the conservative pundit and author of the recent book Culture of Corruption: Obama and His Team of Tax Cheats, Crooks, and Cronies, was asked during a live chat on Politico’s The Arena on Friday which conservative political figure or commentator needs to shut up. Guess who her answer was? Yeah, that’s right—yours truly. So Michelle Malkin successfully rounds out...

When self-professed "pro-sex Republican" Meghan McCain visited the Sturgis Motorcycle Rally last year, she was with her father on the campaign trail. She's back again this year and this time she's looking for love.

"Does it sound campy to say I love gay men?” asks Meghan McCain, sipping an iced tea at the nouveau-chic Hotel Palomar in Washington, D.C.’s Dupont Circle. Campy or not, the lovesick McCain has been ubiquitous this year, sallying forth on late-night TV -- Larry King Live, The Colbert Report, The Rachel Maddow Show -- to scold the Republican establishment for its social conservatism and stump for gay marriage. “If two people fall in love, they should have the option to get married just like I can,” she told Stephen Colbert, pointing out the inherent hypocrisy of a party that...

Meghan McCain hasn't even released her first book, but she's already planning the movie version. "I want Hilary Duff to play me. I think she's really hot - hotter than me - but I'd still want her to play me," Sen. John McCain's daughter confided to us at the Trevor Project's summer gala on Monday night at Capitale. But the young Republican isn't dead set on Duff. "Really, I'd take anyone who's blond," she joked, adding that one actor in particular would certainly be welcome to join the cast. "Bradley Cooper is so hot," McCain swooned. "If he can be...

Sen. John McCain started Father's Day on "Fox News Sunday," but he said he'll spend the rest of the day on the phone, chatting with his seven kids. The Arizona Republican said fathers need to give their kids "support, understanding -- and sometimes that support has to be a little tough love." He said that he often felt pressured to follow in the footsteps of his father and grandfather, both Navy men, and said that parents should give their children choices. "I hope that I'm a good father," McCain said.

Seriously, what is it with Republican daughters? If it's not Julie (Nixon) insisting that her father was not some weirdo liar and thief, then it's Meghan and Bristol gloriously re-enacting a kind of Montague v Capulet spat, even after the elders have long laid down their batons. Best of all, what are these lovely ladies actually fighting about? Sex! Never let it be said that the conservative right is as obsessed with women's sexuality as the Muslim fundamentalists, from whom they claim to be defending the rest of the world. Twenty-four year old Meghan McCain, who is everything that one...

Those McCains are one rowdy political family. We all know the stories about John McCain — whether it's the senator's supposed short temper or his "mavericky" attitude. Well, maybe the apple doesn't fall far from the tree. The senator's daughter, Meghan McCain, supposedly got a bit testy at last weekend's White House Correspondents Dinner, according to the New York Daily News. McJunior apparently tried to bring two guests to the exclusive party — but she had only one extra ticket.

(snip) VAN SUSTEREN: She is shaking things up a little bit in the Republican Party, bringing a little youth to the Republican Party, which has been thought as not exactly -- the younger crowd hasn't been attracted to it. MCCAIN: She is. And I am very proud of her for that, because she is like her father. She is very straight talking. She is very genuine in her beliefs and what she is trying to do. And there's -- it's wonderful. It is remarkable. And I think she is doing not only a great job, but I think she has...
