Isn’t Meghan a genius? /s
Sorry, but I have a hard time believing an airhead like Meghan wrote this, even if it is a regurgitation of all the RINO talking points. The left must be furnishing her with hacks.
The Republican Party doesn’t have time for “progressives” right now, and Specter is proof of that. There is no future in liberalizing conservatism, not for the Republican Party and not for America. The conservatives Meghan hates are not a small voice in the Republican Party. They are the majority of the Republican Party, and it would do no one but a few weak-minded politicians any good if the Republican majority loses its voice to a few RINOs. Democrat-lite doesn’t win for the Republican Party, even when they win. Small minded people like Meghan are convinced that Republican is just a political label that can mean whatever Republican politicians want it to mean, but if that is the case, the Republican Party loses the passion of its majority. Many will still vote, but the results will be what Meghan’s daddy experienced.
A RINO is someone who pretends to be a Republican while criticizing conservatives, but never criticizing Democrats. How could they criticize Democrats, except to suggest that they need to slow down, and be more incrementally minded? A RINO’s objections to leftist policies is with how fast America ceases to be historic America, not with the substance of Socialism and cultural relativism. The RINO appeal has always been that it is a slower alternative to the inevitable, and that may have been politically significant, but the inevitable has happened, and Democrat-lite is now completely pointless. By the time Americans figure out what they’ve bought into, they won’t be interested in getting what Democrat-lite offers. Americans are going to want a reversal of their mistake. So keep peddling your pop horse-crap Meghan, but don’t fool yourself into believing you are doing anything but hurting the Republican Party, just like Specter was.
Megan McCain, you are a mouthy brat. Go home and grow up!
Where are all the FISCAL conservatives? The real battle in the coming years is the destruction of the country FISCALLY.
For all the yelling about Abortion, it isn’t likely to change anytime soon regardless of elections. But there might not be a Republic to argue about abortion IN at the rate we are going.
The socially liberal Republicans, by extrapolation, should be FISCAL conservatives.....otherwise why are you in the GOP to begin with? And given the current situation we are in, you can only support Obama or change parties if you are a FAR left liberal.
Of course there is a far sadder possibility. A lot of the politicians are only in the party that gives them power. If we are truly in a sea change to Euro Socialism, then the interpreted path to power is through Obamanomics.
The key questions are this:
Is there an Economic Conservative that can sell/brand smaller government and power to the states successfully? The only candidates REMOTELY capable of this from a political point of view are Palin, Jindal and Huckabee (yes Huckabee..he is the only one I have heard that can sell it. Jindal knows it but can he sell it? Palin? wild card)
Is the population math impossible to overcome? If VA NC Ohio and FL have truly shifted to the Dems and more rust belt liberals move south....?
What do Jenna and Barbara Bush have to say about this.
This girl is just following in her father’s footsteps of trashing traditional Republicans.
Why are we, here, even listening to her?
Was her dad President?
Who is it exactly that is making her random thoughts into news?
Can’t we just ignore her?

Translation. Specter left because he knew he would get crushed in the primary and he wants to stay in the Senate, but that is the GOP's fault for being too conservative.
This whole piece is so conflicted and contradictory that it makes me believe she didn't stop to read what her fingers were typing. I think it would receive a failing grade in most college courses.
“...progressive conservative voters...”
Yeah, what the heck is a “progressive” conservative? She’s a moron.
And you could put that right in front of her and she’d have no clue of the contradiction...
“And I understand how he’s been made to feel like an outcast by a small, vocal group. “
Mainstream conservative Republicans?
Meg McLame is truly clueless.
Just ignore her; she'll go away eventually.
Why don’t you follow him, Meghan, and take your father with you.
They are making money off of your clicks.
Huh? If your down 20 pts. then your critics are by definition not a small group.
thanks for the heads up. old and new to the PC world, I have a lot to learn, no more clicks for her!! damn, the last thing I want to do is generate any income for that tub or her rino father!
No, he switched parties not in 1980 but in 1965, when he was joining the “John Lindsay Republican Party”. Lindsay left the GOP, his original “home” in 1971.
Looks to me like RINO Steele doesn't get it...the left-wing stuff WAS what passes for Specter's "principles".
There needed to be an expulsion far, far, far earlier ... let us never forget Specter's backstabbing of Robert Bork...and Ronald Reagan.
One type of true Conservative,God fearing,Right -to-life,2nd Amendment loving (not hyphenated)American.
