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

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."

The state of the GOP is due in great part to McCain’s failed 2008 presidental run.

That is the same McCain who wanted to be John Kerry’s VP nominee.

That is the same McCain who preferred Lieberman over Palin for his VP nominee.

That is the same McCain who considered becoming a Democrat after he lost in the 2000 Republican primaries.

The Republican Party is broken, in great part because McCain helped break it.

The shocking part is that a McCain found a television crew and that they talked about themselves (rolling eyes)

I wonder how prevalent the use of the expression “the masses” is among the GOPe. I tune out people who use this Marxist to refer to citizens and a (nominally) free people.

What kind of egomaniacal psychopath could arrive at the conclusions of McCain? He's like the captain of a ship going nowhere of any consequence despite it's mission, yet celebrating the new china dishes and flatware used to serve the officers their meals.

What a horse's ass.........

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...

Exactly right.

well! I'm frustrated that so many have supported McClaim all these years and that his rhino a$$ has deserted conservative principles.

Time for the McCain’s to stop the BS and join the Democrat Party.

And that is exactly what will happen if the Republicans manage to get 51 seats in the Senate.

Despite 30 years of do nothing grand posturing and lavish statesman living, the past four years mandate an energetic and devoted clean-up crew plan, organize, implement, and sustain the most massive job in modern politics.

McCain is like Pigpen. Letting him anywhere near the effort is self defeating.

Meghan, can you clearly articulate how you differ from a democrat?

Exactly. I'm shocked she didn't preface it with "unwashed"

In America that is suppose to happen when the masses choose hyper-conservatives. What we have now is the Communists leading the country to destruction, and, that was because the masses were lied to. When you put your faith in nothing of value you get nothing.

McLame is largely responsible for the state of the GOP.

Clearly, Senator, your immediate resignation is the answer.

McCain just came out to say he is a “Reagan Republican.”

The best immediate response that that is “He really must like (pornographic) actress Faye Reagan.”

"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."

The great news here is that she plans to never run for public office. The bad news is that the commie lib media still runs to her as some sort of opinion-maker on GOP youth.
