WASHINGTON (CNN) – Meghan McCain warned a group of gay Republicans Saturday that there was "a war brewing in the Republican Party" – a war between the past and the future.

"Most of the old school Republicans are scared s***less of that future," she told a gathering of the Log Cabin Republicans, a group of gay and lesbian party members.

The 24-year-old daughter of former GOP presidential candidate John McCain pushed back against critics upset over her comments to CNN that she wanted President Obama to succeed, and played down her recent headline-grabbing feuds with conservative commentators Ann Coulter and Laura Ingraham. "I did not expect my frustration with what I perceive to be overly partisan and divisive Republicans to cause a national incident," she said.

"I feel too many Republicans want to cling to past successes…I think we're seeing a war brewing in the Republican Party," she said. "But it is not between us and Democrats. It is not between us and liberals. It is between the future and the past…

Maybe Meghan’s and Palin’s forces will battle for control on the plains of Iowa, like the Battle of Philippi.

The Leftist media us using this idiot every day. She yaps and they publish. But, she may be correct. Let the RINOs have the GOP. Its so broken anyway. We need our own Conservative party.

Where is our new GOP affirmative action figure? Can’t he, as head of this circus, tell her and papa to shut the F up?

We may be lucky that Zero won the election. Can you see this POS anywhere near the White House. I believe that she is a direct reflection of her father.

From the article:

"I feel too many Republicans want to cling to past successes…I think we're seeing a war brewing in the Republican Party," she said. "But it is not between us and Democrats. It is not between us and liberals. It is between the future and the past… "I am concerned about the environment. I love to wear black. I think government is best when it stays out of people's lives and business as much as possible. I love punk rock. I believe in a strong national defense. I have a tattoo. I believe government should always be efficient and accountable. I have lots of gay friends. And yes, I am a Republican," she told a cheering crowd.

Valley Girls laugh at Meghan McCain.

[April Lexington]

Steele is one of McCain's eunuchs.

50mm, could you post that McCain-Steele animation?

Yeah, what you said.

[April Lexington]

I love to wear black.

Oh, so now she's an Italian widow, too?

I think Ms. McCain and Lindsey Graham would make a good couple...........she should join the other party.

[fieldmarshaldj]

A scatterbrained tool who badly needs to get laid.

[Perdogg]

I can hear Meghan on her cellphone: “My Legions My Legions, where are my legions?!!”

[GodfearingTexan]

who is this stupid bitch and why does anyone care what she says?

[Perdogg]

I can volunteer. I know it would be a sacrifice but I would be willing to help.

[meyer]

She's dumber than a fencepost, and perhaps approaching the intellect of a Pelosi. That's pretty bad.

Yes, there's a war in the republican party - it's between conservatives and RINO's.

[LiteKeeper]

Who is ‘Meghan McCain” anyway? And when did she become a spokesperson for the GOP?

[Jenny217]

Isn’t her 15 minutes up yet? No more Meghan threads for me. BORING.
