Meghan McCain warns of looming civil war in the GOP [says conservatives "obsolete," should give up]

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…

Yep. While Ann Coulter is highly successful on her own, little McCain is being propped up by the media, hoping that they can use her to prevent a conservative rebirth in the GOP. I’m sure she likes being used, as no one could be so dumb as to not see what they’re doing with her.

The name calling on these daily Hate-McCain threads are a good indication that she makes a legitimate point. Not that any of this is any change from the Hate-McCain threads during the election, when you were the main FR cheerleader working for his loss and thus Obama’s win.

Job well done.

Btw, I don’t think “conservatives” are obsolete. But flat earth buffoons who want to revive the Know-Nothing Party certainly are. Pity that type will continue to drag down the rest of us.

The first thing she should do is lose some weight...then she should get a brain transplant because her shallow ignorance of the issues is pathetic.

Hey, I've now found one good reason to be glad McCain isn't Prez--no having to put up with this dingbat as a First Daughter.

If she is indicative of where the party itself is going, then I no longer want to be a part of the party. I’ve already quit sending any money, as did a friend of mine.

She just needs to go ahead and join the Democrat Party. She’d fit in perfectly there. Why doesn’t she follow her beliefs and join them? Isn’t that what other people do?

Why is she instead trying to change the platform of the GOP?

“I feel too many Republicans want to cling to past successes”

Can she mean anything else but the Reagan Revolution? Can’t be Bush’s slim victories. He was no different than her pops.

“It is between the future and the past”

How about this: Future = Reagan/Goldwater/Paul, Past = Nixon/Ford/Rockerfeller/Lindsay/Spectre/Jim Jeffords/McCain/Bush/Bush

“Lots of ditzy women like her are ‘fag hags’, but not lesbians themselves”

I don’t care if she is or isn’t, but for argument’s sake, I don’t know. Heterosexual women definitely get along better with gay men than lesbians do. Lesbians and gay men annoy eachother. Then again, they stand firm ideologically and activist-wise, because they need eachother’s numbers.

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

Does that make Palin Octavian or Mark Antony? Whichever she is, who’s the other?

“I love to wear black...I love punk rock...”

Where the hell did this come from? What does it have to do with politics, or being “cool” (i.e. popular) for that matter?

Every time this chick opens her mouth, stupid comes out.

She really needs to learn to keep her fool trap shut.

Apparently in the McCain family the nut doesn’t fall far from the nut.

No, Meghan, it is YOU that will soon find YOURSELF obsolete! Why don’t you get off your father’s stained and soiled coattails and do something for YOURSELF — like GET A LIFE before you try to tell the rest of us what your immature mind believes KNOWS BEST.

What an elitist B****

And she’s too cowardly to admit it if that’s the case. Talk about ‘hiding’, and being dishonest... We ALL know where she learned THAT!
