AZ-Sen. 2010: McCain's daughter questions Tea Party movement (she calls Tancredo a racist)
CNN - Political Ticker ^ | 2010-02-08

Posted on 02/08/2010 5:38:50 PM PST by rabscuttle385

(CNN) – Sen. John McCain's daughter called into question the political stature of the Tea Party movement Monday and sharply criticized a former congressman for his controversial comments at a recent major gathering of these conservative activists.

Former Rep. Tom Tancredo, R-Colorado, slammed President Obama on the first night of the Tea Party convention last week in Nashville. Tancredo, known for his outspoken views on illegal immigration and his disdain for Sen. McCain, charged during his speech that "People who could not even spell the word 'vote', or say it in English, put a committed socialist ideologue in the White House. His name is Barack Hussein Obama."

Tancredo also expressed relief that Sen. McCain, the 2008 Republican presidential nominee, lost his White House bid. "Thank God John McCain lost the election," Tancredo said.

On Monday, Meghan McCain fired back.

"People were saying that this is the new movement in the Republican Party," McCain said during an appearance on 'The View.' "I did not want to go [to last week's convention]. I have (a) very much different, ideological differences with them."

And she described Tancredo's comments as "innate racism."

My note to the blog writer Martina

Martina,

McCain's daughter doesn't mean anything to anyone but her family. You writing about this is like peeing in the wind.

The Tea Party will applaud and laud the principles of conservative American people from coast to coast. And they will be the big winner in Nov 2010 and beyond. Check us out April 15th and in DC July 4th.

The McCains are irrelevant and so is your article.

John McCain’s daughter Meghan has a message for conservative talk-show host Laura Ingraham: “Kiss my fat ass."

Nuff said...........shes a spoiled rich kid liberal. Her dad is a RINO. Why waste pixels on'em.

“I know that no one can really explain sexual attraction and why you are drawn to someone or not — but at this point in time, nothing kills my libido quite like discussing politics …. So where does that leave me, and who exactly am I attracted to? Let’s just say I’m spending a lot of time writing and even more time with my girlfriends.” -Meghan McCain blog

Will someone please take one for the team and get this poor, lonely girl laid so she will just shut up.

The McCains are has-beens and hopefully J.D. Hayworth will knock that whole dysfunctional family out of politics this year and they can go into political obscurity like the Bush family and (hopefully in 2012) the Hussein Obama family. Out with the old and in with the new! The Tea Party is finally something different than the same Republi-Crat stalemate we’ve had for so long!

Who really cares what Meghan has to say?

She is actually a conservative’s best friend as all she does is cast a horrible light on RINOs.

You remember correctly.

"[Conservatives are] going to destroy the f-ing [Republican] party...
Why would I want to be the leader of a party of such a-holes?"

U.S. SEN. JOHN MCCAIN, UNKNOWN

"I think the Democratic Party is a fine party, and I have
no problems with it, in their views and their philosophy."

U.S. SEN. JOHN MCCAIN, 02 APR. 2004

"I have to tell you, [Obama] is a decent person, a person that you
do not have to be scared [of] as president of the United States."

Yep. He almost campaigned for Obama when he told people there was nothing to worry about with an Obama Presidency and his attacks on any GOP org who attacked Obama.

There he goes again. During the election McCain threw the conservatives under the bus. Now through his daughter he is throwing the Tea Party people under the bus. He won’t have the conservative support and the tea party support.

He learned nothing the last time around and is making all the same mistakes.

He is as good as gone. Senator Hayworth is a done deal.

That has a ring to it. I'm not from Arizona, but I sure like JD. Wasn't he an AAU boxer or something similar when he was a kid?

I live here in Phoenix and McCain is running these absolutely ridiculous ads. i mean they are so bad in that they are so amateurishly misleading.He is running a ton of them. He must be terrified of Hayworth.

I listen to kfyi radio, that is a huge statino here. You can listen at kfyi.com. In the mid to late afternoon he runs his ads. They are positively stupid.If this all McCain has, he is toast.

Why in the world does anyone care about what this woman says??

She’s obviously not the sharpest knife in the drawer, as little education or experience. I just don’t get it.

Just cause her daddy’s a senator & ran for president. Somehow, that inferred some kind of aura on her & made what comes out of her mouth interesting to the rest of us? Come on!

“You cannot be serious about my not being serious.”

I can’t take anyone who views anything McCain’s daughter says beyond the time of day - provided suitable verification is provided - as anything worthy of note as being particularly serious in intellect. That’s why I gave you the benefit of the doubt as to a sarcasm tag.

Tancredo was right. You and those like you are wrong.

“I hope he is voted out of office for good.”

I’ll send YOU the bill for your uneducated Marxist-leaning friends, then. I hope McCain - and the rest of the progressive, traitorous, scum - is voted out of the country!

Tancredo is out of office. He decided not to run for House re-election to instead run for President in 2008. He gathered less than 1% in the polls. His campaign theme was blame everything on illegals. Even though Tancredo is a private citizen, he does, from time to time, speak at colleges telling kids that illegals are to blame for the bad economy and poor healthcare services.

In Texas, the recruiters on college campuses are having problems recuiting young Republicans. This is one of the reasons they give along with a few other reasons. I am so sorry to see that we are not recruiting like we used to. Though the recruiter I spoke to said this really runs in cycles and this will turn around in time. Gives me hope.

Well thank you so much for the opportunity for civil debate. I stated the obvious. But I thank you for your reply. Maybe neither of us are “wrong”..maybe our opinions differ. I stand by mine. For good reason.
