It is amazing to me that this empty headed neophyte gets this much attention or that anybody bothers to engage her. She has no experience, no relevance, and certainly does not possess the credibility to say what the Republican party should and should not be.
As to the ‘reachiing out to young people’, what exactly does that mean? Should the Republican party develop and X-Box 360 game called ‘Democrat Smackdown 2010?’, or and i-Phone app that locates the nearest club tie store?
Reagan didn’t reach out to anybody other than all Americans with a clear and bold message that everyone could understand; Taxes are too high, Government is too big, and Communism is evil. This message cut across all income and race barriers, people flocked to it in droves, and Reagan won two huge electoral landslides.
There was no big tent, just a big bright light of a message. People were attracted to it like bugs to a light in your backyard. That’s what is needed, a clear Conservative message – not ‘reaching out’, i.e. trying to be everything to everyone.
Further, I don’t believe that she represents the majority of young people. I’ve raised 3 kids, 2 college grads and one about to start and they are more Conservative than am I – and so are their friends. There is hope for the future in Conservatism.

Meghan McCain’s opinions are not the reason that she is so hated by the right- in fact, we agree with many of them. The problem is, despite her opinions, she identifies herself more closely with the PEOPLE on the left by spouting her disdain for the people on the right. This is kind of the opposite of Sarah Palin- conservatives’ support for her stems not just from agreeing with her opinions, but from a feeling that she is truly “one of us”.

I’m sorry as a newbie & an Arizonian I don;t quit get the whole Megan McCain fascination. I mean I hear the last name McCain and anything after that just sounds like”…blah blah blah…my friend… blah blah…comprehensive immigration reform… blah blah blah…”. Anyone from the Copper State will understand.

You know what everybody, Meghan McCain just convinced me that she’s right! The GOP needs to reach out to young people my age! We need to reach out to women, Hispanics, Asians, Unions, Planes, Trains, Automobiles, Tigers and Lions and Bears Oh My! And we also have to be more Civil, Bipartisan, Maybe Totalitarian to be sure we include everybody. When the Left or the Middle speaks we have to wear a muzzle, b/c we can’t offend anyone if we respond! We also need more abortion, never mind the baby killing folks. Now because we’ll have fewer babies that could have been born, we need more immigration. We need to import more than the current 1.5 million legal and illegal every year. Let’s go with 10 million per year. We also have to have more than the current 2 languages, we need 31 languages like Baskin/Robbins Ice Cream. The GOP can allow a Borders book store, but not Borders for the USA, that’ll offend non-Americans. We need National park service guides to guide illegals here after they invade. We need Cap and Trade, More Welfare Programs and We Cannot TORTURE! Now, I’m convinced if the GOP does these things, we’ll win election after election. Never mind the fact that all this crap was tried by both George Bushes and McCain when they ran and it got them absolutely nowhere! You want the GOP to win elections? Quit the pandering, get rid of the Identity Politics. Talk to everybody the same regardless of race and sex. Young people vote Republican when they mature. Immigrants vote for the GOP when they assimilate. That only happens when the Numbers are cut and assimilation is promoted, along with English! The Moderates are people who have no solid positions on anything, their sheep who will follow a leader. To base an entire campaign on Moderates is ridiculous! Gin up the base, and Moderates will come to you! An effective politician doesn’t move towards the center, an effective politician moves the center towards them!

By the way, I’m thinking John will call his daughter (if he hasn’t already) and go “You know, I’m planning on being re-elected next year, so would you do me a favor and take a vacation to Ibiza for a couple years, would you, dear?…”

Actually, I think McCain would tell Meggy to keep on speaking out ’cause he’s gonna run on the democratic ticket next time!

“Hate and Fear” – is that what Meggy and the rest of the leftie liberals think conservatives live by? I wonder what exactly that ‘hate’ and ‘fear’ consists of?

Well, I for one ‘hate’ liars, thieves, murderers, unfair, mean, rude/hateful people, hypocrites, arrogant people, child molesters/killers; I despise those who live off my tax dollars but pay NO taxes or work themselves (i.e., the lazy, the welfare queens with numerous kids by numerous men, the drunks/drug addicts, those who have lived and passed onto THEIR offspring the ‘right’ to live off the government – the tax payers’ backs!).

And I ‘fear’ God’s wrath so I try to live accordingly. I ‘fear’ for the safety and morality of our country; I ‘fear’ that our individual freedoms could be taken away by those who hate the idea of ‘freedom’ and who love ‘control and power’. And, I ‘fear’ everything that I ‘hate’ that I listed above – because these type people REALLY DO live among us and one way or another, they WILL bring down or make life harder for the rational, hard working people who DO ‘hate’ and ‘fear’ things.

So Meggy and the ‘others’ think we should just skip merrily along our way and not ‘fear/hate’ anything???? I guess liberals didn’t HATE Bush or try to turn the public away from Bush by using scare, FEAR tactics. Just like Obama did and SAID in his campaign meetings about the repubs/conservatiaves: “they’ll try to SCARE you” (into thinking he is a scary person…well, he IS!!!)

I thank Sen McCain for his service. I don’t thank him for his wishy washy approach to being a Republican. He and Lindsey Graham are two of a kind. Like dhunter said the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree. They are all a bitter disappointment to the Conservatives and Republicans.

There’s no such thing as “far right” or any other kind of hyphenated “right.” It’s just “right.”(see dictionary def.)

We’re right, they’re wrong!(Meghan included)

By: dhunter

dhunter — Thu, 13 Aug 2009 01:50:24 +0000

but the message simply hasn’t taken — the proof of which is the fact that she’s now tangled with Coulter, Ingraham, and the boss in high-profile fashion and has yet to tangle (as far as I know) with anyone of similar prominence on the left.

The Apple doesn’t fall far from the tree!
Like father like daughter!
I could care less how many twits this insolent, petulent, spoiled ass rich kid has! Go to school, get an education, lose 60 or70 ponnds come back in 15 -20 years when you might possibly have some vague idea what life is about! Oh and quit bashing the right and try to take a look at the socialists tryin to take this country over! Idiot!

I have to be honest here, I think it is nice that they kissed and made up, but going from hating each other to scat is just a little disgusting for my personal taste.

Meghan McCain is typically misunderstood because she still hasn’t learned to not talk with her mouth full.

I can’t comment on the above link. That can’t be true from her book can it? Really – McCain wouldn’t have been that stupid would he?

That whole family – strange

Thank goodness for the witch from Wasilla.

[...] Naturally Meghan McCain is the evil twit from hell because she dared criticize Michelle Malkin. My complaint about Malkin is the fact that she is NOT Republican and never misses an opportunity to slam the GOP, no matter what. I find rather amusing the fact that “normal” conservatives and Republicans will not go anywhere near Patrick J. Buchanan and don’t mind calling him a racist. Strange how Michelle Malkin writes for some of the same publications, such as VDare, has some of the same associations, but she’s given a pass. [...]

-
Meghan McCain = Courtney Love
-
And a fine example of why most women should not be allowed to vote.
-
Worthy exceptions include, Malkin, Coulter, Ingraham, Schlessinger, Palin and most of the right side lady bloggers.

If Meghan wants to be twitter Queen, fine. All I ask is that she keeps her rants about MM or anyone else to 160 characters or less. Not just on twitter, but in all media. Thanks, Megan!

Isn’t there at least one Islamic Fascist Prince out there somewhere in saudi arabia or the UAE who wants to marry a slightly obese bleached blond twinkie snarfing fatty princess with a trust fund and no experience doing anything but living off dada like oh i don’t know…Mehgan McCain?

I’d like to thank Meghan McCain for her willingness to allow that there is a place in the republican party for the “far right”.

I’d like to thank Meghan McCain for her political savvy: That to win elections, the republican party needs to ‘reach out’ to her generation (of whiners who run to mom and dad for their car, their cell phones, their apartment rent, etc.)

I’d also like to thank Meghan McCain for sharing with us the notion that fear drives away people from elections and that hope is what her generation really wants to vote for.

How about a candidate the promises jobs by cutting taxes on small businesses? That’s hope – hope that Meghan McCain can find a job to pay the bills…oops, that’s right, she doesn’t need to find a job and neither do the others of the “me generation” because they’re all living on mommy and daddy’s dime.

Ugh.
This is a problem for the republican party.
This generation is used to having things given to them for free.
Oh, wait, that would mean she’s really going for the democrats philosophy of having someone else pay for her wants.

There’s a little known book out that on the cover has a picture of a bare midriff with a silver stud attached to the navel. The book’s premise is that “Today’s young americans are more confident, assertive, entitled – and more miserable than ever before”.

It softly slimes GenX – those of use that grew up under Reagen – and in the end the PhD author (who says the book grew out of her thesis) offers the following pablum for the discontented: go out and volunteer.

I’d like to point out to the “professor” that the only way to ‘volunteer’ is if you have don’t need a job.

I remember receiving my Bachelors of Science degree in Political Science (affectionately referred ever after as my BS in PS) from ASU, the college that is in Senator McCain’s state. I walked into the career center and was told I could possibly ‘intern’ if there was a position and I wanted to go into government service.

Here I was with over $30k in student loans and I was told that my degree was only good for an unpaid position with the government.

That told me all I needed to know about my degree: It was WORTHLESS. I could go bag groceries at the food store and make more money.
So for Meghan McCain to go around barfing out every thought in her grey matter as if it were coming from Mt. Olympus is just about right for this generation. Excuse me if I don’t give a sh*t. Now I’m a fair person so here’s the deal: if she went to the bank, got a loan without a cosigner, started a company, negotiated a lease, went through the labyrinth of a political correct interviewing process to hire her staff, met payroll by supplying a service or product that people wanted and at the end of 12 months actually made a profit after taxes. THEN, Meghan McCain can talk the talk and walk the walk and I’ll listen to her opinions and weigh them for validity.
Until then…..SHUT THE HELL UP ms. silverspoon.

To further discredit her remark about Twitter, and like how totally popular she is and omg she has soooo many loyal fans who like, totally love and support her AND the GOP, I should probably confess to the fact that I too follow her on Twitter (well, I did untill about 10 minutes ago when I learned just how bad she has let it go to her head) because I cannot stand her and I am amused by how stupid the girl is.

And I too, am a young 20 something conservative girl.

AP nailed it spot on. AP attacks the left and that is what gives him credibility in my eyes when goes against my views on an intellectual level. Megs does nothing but attack my views and my party and has no credibility. Oh, and by the way Megs, I’m 23 and I do not follow anyone’s twitter, but I do buy books from conservative authors like Michelle,Laura, and Ann.
