Cindy McCain 'On the Record' [very proud of Meghan, says GOP should be "open party"]
Fox News ^ | 2009-05-15

Posted on 05/15/2009 9:07:48 AM PDT by rabscuttle385

(snip)

VAN SUSTEREN: She is shaking things up a little bit in the Republican Party, bringing a little youth to the Republican Party, which has been thought as not exactly -- the younger crowd hasn't been attracted to it.

MCCAIN: She is. And I am very proud of her for that, because she is like her father. She is very straight talking. She is very genuine in her beliefs and what she is trying to do.

And there's -- it's wonderful. It is remarkable. And I think she is doing not only a great job, but I think she has the ability to make people sit up and listen.

(snip)

MCCAIN: I think it is time for a change. New voices are always good. And I think the Democratic Party went through the same thing a few years back, as we remember. And it's time for change. There is new blood coming into it.

And, most important, I think our party needs to be an open party. We need to agree to disagree on some things, and most importantly, involve more people and make them feel welcome.

VAN SUSTEREN: How you do that? What the issues that are keeping people out?

MCCAIN: There's lots of issues. We are divided on so many things, as are the Democrats.

I think what my husband and I have always said, particularly my husband, is he didn't believe there should ever be a litmus test to be a Republican, that we are a party of inclusion and not exclusion.

And that is a message -- the best message I can give.

Mom should always defend her daughter, but Meghan has been a little jerk. She certainly doesn’t rate as a person to be listened to on the direction of the repubican party.

Cindy McCain is another one of these “global warming” nuts. Meanwhile, she has multiple homes and lives high on the hog, while telling us “little people” how to live.

Go away, Cindy McCain. Go away, Meghan McCain.
Go away, John McCain.

The Republican Party should be a Conservative Party.

It’s time to fold-up the so-called big tent.

It’s like the entire McCain family is trying to do as much damage to the GOP as possible.
It looks to me that they’re all just talking a lot of shit about the GOP.
They don’t want it to be a “more open party.”
They just want to create the impression that it is a “narrow minded party.”

So when is Juan McCain going to join his pal Specter the Defector?

I guess that integrity and principle no longer applies. we should never accept anyone who want to be Democrat lite.

Oh sure, let’s pay attention to a “Real Wives of Politicians” reject. She and her family know soooooo much abut what it takes to win an election.

In 1996, we ran Bob Dole and got creamed. In 2008, we ran McCain and we got 0bambi. By all means, let’s have more RINOs and less Conservatives!

Go home Cindy and take your porcine offspring with you.

For what, or whom, they assert to be proud of the McCains don't set the bar very high.

She is a spoiled Brat like her Father, and was only about 5 when her Mother was zonked out hooked on huge numbers of heavy duty pain meds. she probably had to fend for herself a great deal of the time, and Daddy was away a lot of the time. I pity her, she obviously wants romance and attention and is going about getting both the wrong way. Looking for love in all the wrong places.

MCCAIN: There's lots of issues. We are divided on so many things, as are the Democrats.

One thing these McCain's all have in common -- they are consistently non-specific on issues, avoiding the question like the plague.

According to Cindy, Democrats are divided and Republicans are divided. So, if we're all just one big divided bunch of folks under a tent, how would she suggest people choose a party and what would be the purpose of said party?

Apparently this McCain camp thinks we should just do away with the platform entirely and turn it into a popularity contest on who is kewl-ist or who throws the best cocktail party.

I think this is Juan McCain's revenge. He and his family are out to destroy the GOP in retaliation for not giving him the presidential legacy he aspired to. And the left is aiding and abetting his vendetta giving ME-ME-Meghan money to write a book, bandwidth to publish her everending dribble, TV spots on liberal talks shows, speaking engagements at subversive GOP groups (e.g. log cabiners), etc. Next up to give her a venue are probably the environmental loons at REP.

What the McCain's are doing is starting to remind me a lot of the early 1900s and the insurgents of the National Progressive Republican League.

Mrs. McCain comes from a family where it is all about the clique of contacts. Mr. McCain comes from an insider inside the beltway military family line.

To them the GOP is just a clique, not a union of principles.

I agree about your assessment of the McCain family lines — I’d call it entitlement, elitism, populism.

If a party does not subscribe to any guiding principle(s), there is no reason for me to subscribe to a party.

Loyalty to that type of party is dangerous, IMO.

I agree. Even Juan McCain's 97-year-old mother was a guest on Leno the other night, trash-talking Rush Limbaugh.

What's going on with this McCain family? I wish they'd ALL just go away...

Here is the deal- it is Okay to be an open party; however, you have to prove that your "NEW" ideas work and win elections. We are not going to let ideas into the platform out of some sort of false sense of diversity. You have to earn a spot on the platform.

So what Ms. McCain needs to do is start supporting candidates that share her vision and support them in a primary and a general election. If a pro abortion, open boarder person wins against a conservative in the primary and goes on to win in the general, you have a spot on the platform. However, the deal is that if you lose in the primary you support the conservative. If you lose the general recongize the internal battle is still on. Finally, stop complaining that you deserve a voice because you blog.

There is nothing respectful about Meghan or her tone. Someone who gave an interview talking about how strongly they were for John Kerry and very liberal in their views and insulting Republicans and only labelled herself ‘Republican’ because of her Dad’s nomination has no place. She shows no semblence of having any Republican ideals and it’s time for all-out war against these people. One or the other has to go, but conservatives know we will not be told to be another version of Demonrat.
