Meghan McCain on Twitter goes animated

One night last week while I was working Meghan posted on Twitter why she is a Republican.

Because I keep getting asked...... A few reasons why I consider myself a Republican: I believe in less taxes and less government spending

I'm not a libertarian because I believe in some government taxes and some government spending.

Government can be a force for good, so long as its well managed.

I believe in STRONG fiscal and national security or as I like to call it, good government done right

Even if I don't agree with every issue of the party, its the party I agree most with. And I believe with the right leader can flourish again

And that ladies and gentleman are just a few reasons why I consider myself a Republican!

But like I said, the label that best defines me (even though I hate labels) is a Progressive Republican, like a lot of you out there :-)

This party needs to get back to its roots and stop making social issues a focal point of the platform. As it says in The Declaration of

Independence "all men are created equal" and that means, everyone in this country is equal. Not "separate but equal", thats where I differ..

Hope everyone has a better understanding why I am someone who is proud to be a member of The Republican Party!

I think Meghan mistakes Libertarians for Anarchists. She sounds like a Libertarian Republican to me. But she is right about many things.

The Republican party is dieing. Dieing because they are loosing the younger vote and will continue unless they change course soon. Luckily for them younger voters are more pragmatic than their elders and are not as devoted to party. Both parties are failing us and we know it. The GOP social agenda is alienating the younger voters. Many of those in the GOP think they lost the last election because McCain was not "conservative" enough. They think if they trot out a hard right candidate in 2012 the base will show up to vote. This isn't rocket science the base always shows up to vote. Maybe after a humiliating defeat in 2012 the GOP will realize their mistake or maybe not.

Meanwhile from today's Twitter post Meghan goes animated.

Meghan McCain vs Laura Ingraham

Lets see one looks like a woman and the other has an adams apple.

Obvious winner to me.

I would think the highly educated and obnoxious Laura Ingraham could find better ways to attack Meghan than her dress size. I guess like me saying Laura should know men shouldn't pick on young women like that.

Saw Meghan's Twitter posts last night but wasn't sure what it was about til today. Meghan is raising some valid points about the GOP and they better be paying attention or face another blood bath. Generation X and Y do not seem as partisan and simple minded as the Boomers before us. We are pragmatic and want problems solved no matter who does it. Those in office now are an epic failure and should be recycled at the earliest opportunity.

Saddest part of the end of the 2008 campaign

No more Meghan McCain updates? From an LA Times interview she said:

Her stint on the campaign trail is merely a detour, she insists, on the way back to Manhattan, where she hopes to design "a high-end couture line that goes up to plus sizes."

Perhaps she could model as well? Kate Dillon has been noticeably absent from Avenue and Lane Bryant ads lately. Would love to more of Meghan in the future especially if she could wear something other than black. Seems like in just about every campaign pic she was wearing a black outfit. Although she makes this plain black shirt look pretty good.
