It feels like Obama’s already won reelection
As I sit on my couch watching the commentators night after night, I am overwhelmed by a sense of panic that this election is quite possibly already over. There are too many questions and not enough answers: What is the point in waiting to see how the next seven months play out? How have Republicans already blown such a golden opportunity? Why has my party not come together and united for the greater cause, which at the end of the day is defeating President Obama? Why do Republicans continue to value “purification” and bloodletting over winning elections? What the hell is wrong with the Republican Party?!?
The right-wing conservatives are so entitled in their snobbery that no one is ever good enough for them, so the rest of us, especially moderates, must suffer. Apparently, we would still rather have a Democrat in office than a moderate Republican. We’ve botched this election cycle so badly, I’m scared it might be too late.
I’m also heartbroken. I am a young person who is optimistic and idealistic about politics and this election cycle should have been the one where we came together and turned our frustrations into a win. Instead, this election cycle has turned into a bad episode of reality television. I imagine most Democrats sitting back and watching it all play out—lighting up stogies and laughing at our dog and pony show. The 2012 election really should have been our time! Coming off of the failed promises of hope and change, unemployment being at an all time high, a huge populist movement from the Tea Party, this election cycle was ripe for the picking.

She has no intellectual capacity, so it just makes sense to go straight for the ass joke.

Oh I know and why do they even bother playing the football games it’s such a waste of time i could tell everyone who should win and why

Like I said- I have stood up for this fool for several years now, defended her from attacks based on her looks, her age, her complete lack of intellectual honesty, HER DAD. And I’m done- she’s a worthless little spoiled girl, looking for some kind of validation. AND SHE’S AN IDIOT. If someone wants to call her a fat assed idiot, so be it. I’m completely annoyed that she keeps showing up in the headlines- she has nothing to add to the political conversation.

Meghan McCain: The top date at the liberal pig party

What a spoiled little twit!

You are the biggest joke in modern-day Republican politics! You are good for two things only: 1) Making liberals laugh at Republicans; 2) Making Republicans ashamed of you and your stupid RINO attitudes.
.
I wish you would get lost and stay lost!

I was afraid HotAir was again giving Meggy Mac N. Cheese free airtime, but then I read in the intro “Meghan McCain explains…” and I realized it must be a satire piece.
Oh, and as far as “disparaging the looks of women we disagree with”, I am prepared to concede your point… as soon as you can name three prominent liberal woman commentators who are good-looking. Take your time.

LOL!
This RINO cow sounds EXACTLY like several Mittbots on HotAir…

Does she realize no one takes her seriously? she guest hosts on the view w/ barbara wahwah and whoopi, she has done nothing with her life, her biggest claim to fame is that she is the daughter of a self serving RINO (maverick to those in the LSM), and she writes this third grade tripe?
Her employer knows that she is only a carnival barker at best. Sad to see this freak show. I’m embarrassed for her brother serving in the Marines. Can’t imagine how he feels about sharing the same last name. They need to put a muzzle on her quick.
At least Paris Hilton and Kim Kardashian made porn videos instead of popping off about politics. She would probably do the same but it would be hard slim down for the part.

Oh, NOW I get it! Your Dad, John “Stand With Me and Fight” McCain didn’t win his chance at election, depriving you of your social circle in the White House so now NO REPUBLICAN can win until… when? McCain the Senator retires? McCain the Mac ‘N’ Cheese gets married at the White House? When? When? When? When?

You have a personal agenda going on, Girlie, and you should find out what it is and get help for it ’cause you write like you are clueless. BTW, you have hired a pretty good ghost writer. He sounds a lot like you.

Look, Meghan is only 27 years old, an Ivy League graduate, conversant in highbrow topics like Art History, and her Mom is worth 200 million dollars. And all the beer you can drink.
In other words, Meghan comes with beer goggles.
What’s not to like?
Emperor Norton on April 6, 2012 at 10:14 PM
Y’know, like, her employer MessNBC doesn’t even put her on the air, that much, do they. Like.

As your dad so aptly proved…..
tdpwells on April 6, 2012 at 10:50 PM
She registered Republican as a father’s day present to her dad.
I’ve never seen one article of hers where she explains why she is a Republican.
I’ve seen plenty of articles from her explaining what she dislikes about Republicans.
Isn’t it time to stop pretending that she is a Republican?
