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."

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

The ignorance of youth.

Confusing ‘reinventing’ with ‘damaging’.

So she’s a normal airhead rebellious college student. But she loves her dad.

No big deal here.

Young people are morons. Fortunately they don’t vote.

Imitation is the most sincere form of flattery.

John McCain crosses party lines, out of the G.O.P., on personal principle as a "maverick".

OK, Johnny Boy, two can play that game.

AmericanInTokyo will CROSS OVER PARTY LINES ON PRINCIPLE as a maverick.

My vote will go to electors pledged to a CONSERVATIVE candidate for president, NOT RINO nor LIB-DEMO electors.

“”I don’t relate to the hard right,” she admits”

No shock. RINOs tend to produce RINOS.

Well then, you’re an idiot if you believe President Obama would be better than a President McCain. There’s no other word for it ...except, perhaps, arrogantly dangerous.

I’m making a list here of all who must tell us, ad nauseum, that they will not vote for McCain. If and when the day comes our military is forced to salute a President Obama, I swear to God you’d better not come on this site and start bitching...I mean that.

Which one would damage the country more is not as important as the fact that both would damage it badly. It is even simpler: I do not vote for Leftists. Why should I start now?

So you are saying Reagan was a RINO because he had to Dem kids.
