Meghan McCain's 7 Tips for Republican Hopefuls
The Daily Beast ^ | June 21, 2011 | Meghan McCain

Posted on 06/21/2011 8:12:03 AM PDT by rightwingintelligentsia

With last week's debate behind them, Mitt Romney, Tim Pawlenty, Michele Bachmann, and others have officially kicked off the race for the GOP presidential nomination. But do any of them have the chops to topple Obama in 2012? Meghan McCain offers seven tips on what they should do between now and then.

Dear Republican candidates running for president in 2012:

You are up against one of the most media-beloved presidents in history, one journalists will do almost anything to protect. You are running against a man who has created a cult following and a narrative that transcends popular culture. How is it possible that this is the best we’re doing so far?

Now, before we get too ahead of ourselves, it is the beginning of summer and not exactly in the fall fever of primary politics. But just like an awkward blind date, you need a good opening line. The average American can’t tell you the difference between Rick Perry and Jon Huntsman (yet). Most young voters my age don't remember Newt Gingrich's claim to fame; after all, the Clinton impeachment trial was so ‘90s.

My one tip for Meghan:

Shut your cake-hole and just go away.

Why do we care what Meghan thinks?

I doubt any of the candidates care what the little snot has to say either.

There isn’t anything wrong with Republicans like me...

I'd like to put that one to a vote, Meghan.

Meghan has at least part of that part right.

Though I don't know what she means by "a narrative that transcends popular culture."

Last I checked, Obozo has pretty much a blank narrative. Nobody knows how a smarmy little brat with a drug problem from a rich preppy school in Hawaii got into Columbia, Harvard and landed a teaching position on the University of Chicago Law School faculty fresh out of college. He is more a product of the media-entertainment complex than anything else.

If it wasn't for freepers reading her stuff to marvel at her, there'd be nobody reading her at all.

I'm including myself in that group. I can't stop. She's too perfectly stupid and wrong to ignore.

In this way, her brain is analogous to Helen Thomas' face.

“In this way, her brain is analogous to Helen Thomas’ face.”

Her brain fell out of a stupid tree and hit every branch on the way down?

MEGoody's 7 tips for Meghan McCain:

1. Lose some weight. No one likes a big mouthed, loser, but they like a fat, big mouthed, loser even less.

2. Stop talking. Every time you open your mouth, you seem to reinforce that "loser" image.

3. Stick to what you know. I realize it isn't much, but you could have quite a happy life spending your time coloring and doing "Connect the Dots" puzzles.

4. Get some morals. You'll be a lot less unhappy and diseased if you stop playing the skank.

5. Get some decent clothes. In addition to not playin gthe skank, you have to stop dressing like one.

6. Get an actual job. Even a job cleaning up doggie doo in the local pet store would have more meaning than what you are doing with your life now.

7. Stop trying to ride Daddy's coattails. Those coattails barely cover his behind - they simply can't carry you as well.

that’s pretty much my assessment. i agreed with the first five, and 6 and 7 have a kernel of truth. not the friends with maddow part, but interviews elsewhere is good. and as far as ignoring the far right? we make our decisions based on a candidates HISTORY. that’s why we didn’t like huck or romney- who try to pose as conservative. but looking at their records, we find the truth. moderates are the ones that will need convincing to support a conservative candidate.

Meghan have you read the what Sarah Palin has said about your family through Bristol in her book?

Bristol Palin Reveals True Feelings About the McCain’s

Palin writes that the first time she met the 26-year-old daughter of Sen. John McCain, she “ignored us during the entire visit.” This was just before Senator McCain introduced Sarah Palin as his running mate. Palin adds that she “had a sneaking suspicion I might need to watch my back.”

“Every time we saw Meghan, she seemed to be constantly checking us out, comparing my family to hers and complaining,” she writes. “Oh the complaining.”

Cindy McCain, the senator’s wife, also rubbed the eldest Palin daughter the wrong way.

“I’d never seen people with so much Louis Vuitton luggage, so many cell phones, and so many constant helpers to do hair and makeup,” Palin writes, adding that the would-be first lady looked “like a queen” and held “herself like royalty.”

Palin writes that she was shocked when the senator’s wife offered to be a godmother to her unborn baby: “I had just met her and I wondered why she wanted any type of guardianship over my child.”

Megan needs to date and get knocked up by Levi Johnson. Then she can have a # 8 top ten (well, there are 57 states aren’t there)

To summarize Meghan’s tips:

1. Don’t try to be “cool”; the media has given the “cool” award to Obama already; you CAN’T out-cool Obama. (This is actually probably valid advice, though the bimbo uses it as an attempt to slam Sarah.)

2. Sharpen your message rather than using lame gimmicky commercials. (Meghan stumbled upon a valid point here. Christine O’Donnell’s “I’m not a Witch” commercial, which Meg cites, was a dismal flop that failed to articulate a message. Conservatives must effectively articulate the limited government message.)

3. Focus on the liberal Northeast (New Hampshire) rather than Red State Middle America (Iowa). (I would prefer that our serious GOP candidates minimize both Iowa and New Hampshire and let the really Red Republican states have more influence in selecting our candidate myself.)

4. Suck up to liberal idiots like Rachel MadCow. (This is actually tip number 6, but 4 and 5 aren’t even worthy of a twitter comment.

7. Flip the middle finger to the conservative base. (She words it a little differently than that, but that is the gist of her 7th point.

So, bottom line is that out of her 7 points, two have some slight validity to them.

I’ve got a tip for you Meghan. Drop about 50 pounds so you don’t look so fat on TV.

Little known "fun facts," re: Meghan McCain:

1.) Her Secret Service protection "code name" was Sammich.

2.) She stores cream cheese in both thighs, in preparation for winter hibernation.

3.) Her blood type is the ultra-rare "Gravy."

Isn’t getting advice from Miss Piggy about how to win the Presidency like asking the Chicago Cubs how to win the World Series?

RE :"Tip No. 6: Make Friends With Rachel Maddow. You’ve got to do interviews outside of Fox News. This isn't an option, you can't become president talking only to Greta Van Susteren."

This is a great idea because Maddow is REALLY nice to Meg-cow McCain especially when Meg spends the whole segment explaining how Republicans are screwing up by missing out on the homosexual and illegal votes because they are racist homophobes. Look how well Maddow treated Rand Paul basically calling him a racist for wanting to limit the Federal government powers to the constitution.

How many liberals do you think this chubby bond dim-wit converted to vote Republican so far?
