Daughter: McCain 'Depressed, Down-Trodden' by State of GOP (Like father, like Daughter)
newsmax ^ | 10/27/13 | Sandy Fitzgerald

Posted on 10/27/2013 6:19:43 AM PDT by bestintxas

Sen. John McCain's daughter says the tea party revolution within the Republican Party has left him in a state of emotional distress.

"I’ve never heard him this depressed other than maybe after the ‘08 election," Meghan McCain said. "He’s so depressed, so down-trodden. The way he’s talking about it, he's never seen it this bad in his 30-plus years in office."

Meghan, who describes herself as a liberal Republican, said she shares his sense of despondency.

"We’re both frustrated with the idea that only the hyper-conservative wing of the party is going to represent the masses,” said McCain, 29, who spoke to ABC News about her father and her reality show, "Raising McCain." The senator's daughter also said she was surprised by Arizona's senior senator recent comments that, at 77 years of age, he is considering another run for the Senate — but not because of his age.

"My father has more energy than I do and I legitimately say that, so it’s not his age, it's just the idea of having another dirty tea party election," she said.

But she says she has no intentions of ever trying to fill her father's shoes or run for any public office.

"Women have to give up so much to run for office, which maybe makes me a hypocrite, because I think more women should be in office," McCain said. "I always say, I want more tattoos and I don’t plan on getting married anytime soon so I think those two things might automatically make me not eligible for running for office."

He’s not downtrodden per se. He’s pissed that so many conservatives think he’s crazier than a shit house rat. The man is clinically insane.

Cheer up, Meghan. Just take comfort in the fact that your Dad has played an out-sized role in making the GOP irrelevant.

Maybe, just maybe, he would feel MUCH better if he would just admit that he is a flaming liberal and switch parties. Denial ain’t just a river in Egypt.....

If McCain wasn’t a RINO he wouldn’t have that problem.

An oxymoron, with the stress on MORON, she is, at best, a RINO.

Thanks Juan for helping to convince so many that the GOPe strategery of “wait ‘till next year” is a fool’s errand.

When a politician (or a politician's daughter) uses the term "masses", it gives you a good idea of how they look at us -- an unthinking faceless horde that requires their leadership.

Tyrants talk this way...
