[...] Meghan McCain takes aim at GOP, Bristol Palin's abstinence tour (CNN) - Meghan McCain again took aim at some leaders of her party Monday night, declaring the GOP is currently [...] [...]

I think, the basic problem with the GOP is that the society around them has changed drastically, and they haven't kept up. Yes, many of us would love lower taxes and a smaller government. However, many of us also feel that the government should absolutely keep their noses out of issues of personal choice. In the end, I'll pay more taxes, if the government behaves in a more socially acceptable way. To most Americans I know, social freedoms are far more valuable than an extra 2% of our paycheck. THAT is the big key that the GOP seems to miss.

I mean, we had the GOP for 8 years, no lower taxes, no smaller government, no fiscal responsibility... and plenty of social bullshit. What exactly is the advantage of this party of big government and social restrictions?

Ms. McCain is right, unless the GOP figures out how to connect with the generations of people born since the sexual revolution, they will be a small minority party. Which, if you want to represent minority views, is an OK thing to do. Just don't expect to have the White House again, or the Senate...

The GOP can choose to listen to people like Meghan or choose to listen to people like Rush. Rush represents a minority of older people. Meghan represents a majority view of younger people. It doesn't take belief in survival of the fittest to figure out the obvious.

Meghan really needs to get off the drugs. The G.O.P. will never embrace the gay community, and it shouldn't. I'm really getting sick of her too. If she wants to help the party, then she needs to help Michael Steele right the ship, because the dude is straight up struggling.

I really appreciate Meghan McCain's efforts at broadening the Republican Party's message, but I just think her words are falling of very deaf ears. I think she and her supporters should employ there efforts at creating an entirely new moderate-conservative party.

Um, I think Meghan needs to stop taking, period.

I am a fairly liberal Democrat, but I have to say, I really like Meghan McCain. She speaks her mind, and doesn't get mad when people don't agree with her.

I don't know what to say. I'm a Democrat, always have been, always will be. I'm AGAINST Gay marriage and I was abstinent until marriage.

Meghan, are you gay by chance. you are focusing too much on sex/gay marriage. come on! there are much more serious problems to talk about today..

I always err on the side of caution when reading something from a McCain, but she has hit the nail right on the head.

I admire Megan McCain for trying to help change the image of the Republican party but she might as well give it up and become a Democrat. The Republican party has made it very clear where they stand on the social issues and it isn't with Megan or Colin Powell. How long before they kick Megan out completely?

As a liberal democrat, I am beginning to see the light at the end of the political tunnel where democrats and republicans can work together and forge a culture of tolerance and civility. YOU ROCK MEGHAN MCCAIN. We can agree to disagree, but at the end of the day we can still be friends.

Meghan McCain and Bristol Palin are the best laughs I get. Neither one knows enough to shut up!! But the more they mouth off, the more it helps the Democrats, so Meghan, Bristol, keep up the good work!!

Ahhhh there's a nasty little liberal in many families.....

Republicans stand for individualism, the opposite of the Democratic party.

While the left is all about grouping us up and having people define themselves first and foremost by silly things like skin color, ethnicity, religion, and sexuality, the right is about each and every person being an individual that is defnined by their morals, values, integrity, and interests.

While the left is all about divide and conquer, telling each group they are a victim who has no hope unless they support the left and allow the Democrats to run their lives, the right says you are responsible for you, we will step out of the way and you will define who you are and you will decide just how many of your dreams and goals you can obtain.

Just look at the people who make up the left and the right. The lazy takers who have no responsiblity vote lib while responsible, moral, honest people who are against this lib division are on the right.

Its funny how people who group think, think that the libs are for them. Just look at the facts of Clarence Thomas, Sarah Palin, and Bobby Jindal to see that when you don't support the Democrats, the Democrats unleash the worst hate, discrimination, and repercussions for not supporting them than any other group in this country, including Byrd's former friends.

Ms. McCain is incorrect in saying that the Democratic Party isn't necessarily a better place for the gay community than the Republican Party is. How many Republicans, versus Democrats, support hate crime and discrimination legislation? How many Republicans support gay marriage, or the right of gays to adopt children and have legally-sanctioned families? Many more Democrats support the gay community than do Republicans. Democrats still have quite a way to go (which is why I'm not a Democrat, but a Progressive), but let's not be ridiculous and pretend that the Republicans are almost as nice as the Democrats...

Since when did anyone care what either Meghan McCain or Bristol Palin (or Liz Cheney, for that matter) think about anything? Who started this silliness? CNN, is this news?

Children should be seen and not heard.

"The era of apologizing for Republican mistakes of the past is now officially over."

Huh? I must have missed that apology. LMAO!!!

Good for you, Meghan! I am a Democrat, but it is nice to hear an articulate, educated woman representing the Republican party instead of racist, subversive blowhards like Limbaugh.

As a Northeastern Democrat, Meghan McCains take on the Republican party is appealing. I think a lot of northeasterns are truly progressive republicans...socially liberal and financially conservative. If the Republicans were able to separate themselves from the religious fervor they have dabbled in they could find a powerful new voting block. I am only a Democrat because the party tends to support women's rights issues & same-sex marriage, and is more pro-environmentalism.

I keep hearing Republicans talking about the "basic principles of the Party." I want them to reiterate, clearly and concisely, exactly what they think those "basic principles" are.

You can be a republican and and disagree on one of the principles.
I'm a democrat and I'm prolife. No one should be a one issue voter

I think this girl has a future in politics if she so chose that direction.

stop talking, no-one cares what you have to say!!!

Has Meghan McCain even had sex yet? If so, with what or whom? She has an immature, nasty personality. Maybe she'll become more appealing with age.

Her party? I thought her party was the one that served her free booze and let her ramble on about nothing.

Once again Meggie's proving that she'll do anything to stay in the spotlight. She's just a Democrat without the eating disorder. Just a matter of time before the amateur video and lesbian kiss with Lindsay Lohan show up.

Careful Meghan.... You're starting to aggravate the Repub Party leaders.... Rush & Cheney

Meghan is right. Abstinence is a joke, a myth. It has never worked. Some kids may practice, because they are scared to death of their parents or scared to disappoint their parents. But that's a small minority.

Having raised four adults of our own, speaking to them about sex, we told them that "sex is for marriage" and we gave them all the information we could about STDs and the risk of pregnancy. We told our sons, that "no matter what a girl says, protect yourself!" And our daughters, we told " have respect for your body!"

Interesting. Meghan McCain is definitely more moderate than her father, but I'm not sure if her comments are falling on deaf ears. The old guard still holds a lot of power in the GOP...

Why are women who speak commonly and publcily always considered "outspoken"? Food for thought.

This young lady is a breath of fresh air, frankly. I think the Republican party could stand to be a little moderate on their stance. We saw what happens when extremism lurks it's head; people stop listening.

Bravo Miss McCain.

I say all of us Republicans who are fiscally conservative but socially liberal combine with the Blue Dog Democrats to form our own party. As both main parties move more to the extremes, our new party will have nowhere to go but up! Who's with me?

To Steele – "The era of apologizing for Republican mistakes of the past is now officially over." UMMMMM I havn't heard republicans apologize for anything so how can it be "officially over"???

The more I hear from this young lady, the more I am impressed. She is intelligent, open-minded and reasonable; qualities found in most good leaders.

I dont think the GOP is anywhere near as backward and bigoted as the liberals promote them to be. The left uses race baiting scare tactics to trick people into thinking the GOP is a bunch of rich, old white men who oppress everyone else. Think of it this way: If it weren't victims, the democrats would be out of business. The left consistenly fails to effect meaningful change for their constituents precisely because victims sustain them as a viable political party. Don't minorities find it suspicous that they are continously exploited for political gain, but yet their circumstances never get any better?

Wow...every time she speaks, I wish the republican party would listen. She's so right on many things she says. If the republican party moves to the direction she says it should, this democrat would actually consider voting for moderate republican candidates who have shed off the cloak of religious rightiousness and emraced a more inclusive platform that is pro-gay marriage if that candidate is more appealing than the democrat opponent.

Meghan, Welcome to the Libertarian party! I'm 52 years old and I'm tired of the GOP lying to me about restoring the law of the land, to return to the laws U.S Constitution, individual liberty, states rights, etc... The GOP has had their chances and they have blown the opportunities we elected them to perform.

The reason why the GOP can't find it's voice is because they're a bunch of hypocrites who judge others for their sins, but fail to see their own.

I don't believe in gay rights neither do I believe in promoting birth control among teens to use for sexual behavior. Abstinence isn't a virtual belief but a Christian belief that God speaks about in the Bible.

Parents should teach their children that if that young man or woman doesn't wish to wait until marriage, than they're not worth continuing the relationship and you need to cut them loose

Many teens aren't equiped to deal with sexually transmitted diseases and teen pregnancy and many times will leave the responsiblity of caring for the grandchild on their parents.

Se - it is possible for a republican to talk sense and not be all about hate.

To bad no one in authority will listen to her.

We did'nt care what her Father said. That goes double for her.

Your dad lost because he is NOT a conservative. Both of you need to go join the Democrats where you belong. The sooner the better RINO!

Usually I have agreed with the things that Megan has had to say, but she is totally delusional if she expects the repubs to be more accepting of gays than dems. There is something, for the most part, in the older group that runs their party, that is totally intolerant of others particularly in this area. Until these people die out, they will not be changing anytime soon, and that is what will keep them in the wilderness for sometime. We do not need people like those in your party who think that they should be the moral judges for us all. Dems tend to think for themselves, and believe more in live and let live, and helping those who cannot help themselves. We are our brothers' keepers

Dear little, naive Meghan,

Condoms can prevent pregnancy, child, but they don't prevent HPV, Warts, Herpes, and Syphillis. Good luck.

Sure the republican party can be open to gays, rational sex education and minimal government intrusion. Frankly, however, it isn't, and it hasn't been for at least a generation. Instead we have the party of fear and smear that endorses government easedropping, intrusion into private matters like how medical care is provided for loved ones in a vegetative state and a sex/reproductive rights platform more fitting for the middle ages. It may be time to stop making apologies but it's past time for fundamental change in the party and it's just not clear where that will come from.

Wow... a Republican that isnt a moron!!

How long before her own party crucifies her for it???

Megan FOR PRESIDENT.....You ROCK!!!!!!

She makes sense. The GOP won't listen to her and will make sure they go 180 degree from her. I think the GOP will split since into two parties. And if I were Obama, I'd be working to bring liberals and moderates together at the table. Let the conservatives wander around in the wilderness for a while.

No one needs sex education at the age of 16 or older. Where has Meghan been. If a person doesn't know right from wrong at that age then something is wrong with them. Sex education is a subject that shouldn't be taught in schools. It should be taught in the home. Meghan needs to settle down and think before she speaks. She acts like she is in control of the republican party and that would be the biggest mistake if she was. Her outbursts are out of control.

All I can say is that she's making more sense than the recognized party 'leaders', and she seems a lot more reasonable. I hope they don't vote her out!

Why does this RINO think the DNC is a "safe place" for gays?

Reminder: Democrats OBAMA and CLINTON OPPOSE GAY MARRIAGE.

I wasn't aware that they were apologizing. The latest I have heard was Glenn Beck, Rush Lmbaugh and Dick Cheney saying how everything the Republicans have done has been good (for them ). Everyone else has been mute.

and I think I wouldn't want to practice anything I didn't preach.

You mean " I wouldn't want to preach anything I didn't practice"

ugggg... I dont like all she says...but I like alot...she's so hot =)

I'm a Progressive and I think Meghan McCain is my new best friend.

Meghan, PLEASE come over from the dark side. You make too much sense to be a Republican. I like you.

Maybe if Meghan McCain would get the wax out of her ears she would hear what Bristol is saying. Bristol talks more of the difficulties that come with raising a child. What does Meghan know about that. Nothing. Bristol has often times caveated the statement with yes use safety measures BUT and Bristol is right and McCain is wrong there is only one 100% way unless you happen to be the Virgin Mary.

It's great that Meghan has her own set of morals. However, they are not necessarily the morals that young people should have. If Bristol wants to promote abstinence, that's her right. Obviously, Meghan promotes free sex. A lot of people have found out that free sex causes problems later in life. Look at all of the unwanted, unloved, abused children that are out there in this world – children of "birth control". If Bristol has realized that having a child makes like more difficult when you are a child yourself, then she has learned a valuable lesson. If she can keep one 13 year old from having an unwanted baby, she has done a good job.

The Thug Party needs to apologize for the next 8 years.

You tell 'em, Megan! You gotta love this girl!! I'm not going to switch parties, but I like this girl. She tells it like it is.

Ms. McCain, I think you need a little touch up in communications. You're sounding a bit like "Governor Palin". with your rambling sentences. What is going on with all of the off-springs of the last politicians suddenly coming into the american publics view. Let's see, there's Cheneys daughter, and of course you, and others. I think you are an opportunitst. Tina in Tempe.

The Republican room door is closed while young moderate Republicans are trying to enter. It will not open because the "Old Fat Cats" of the party are leaning against it trying to keep them out while claiming they can still be the party of the future. This is just like all humans. They are resisting change. The boulder is rolling down the hill and changing the landscape while they are trying to keep it off of their beaten turf. They want things to continue being like they have always been and do not realize that they cannot stop the change.

Old Fat Cats, I am a Democrat telling you that if you wish to survive this "rolling stone called "Change" you will have to allow the stone in the door where you can work with and work on it to change it to a stone you can roll with without being crushed. Meghan McCain is trying to tell you of the changes coming down the pike. Now I know you may not like them but you must face the fact that you will become a part of the old and the new or you will simply become a forgotten part of history. I strongly believe our nation needs a good strong two party system where both parties work together and right now you are being more destructive to the two party process than the Democratic Party. YES what you think I said is what I said. An unchecked Democratic Party is just as destructive a force on our system of government as you "Old Fat Cats" are being to the Republican Party. Open the door and let your young people in and sit and listen to them and find common ground and work from there.

when did they start apologizing ??

I watched last night and she made the most sence out of any Republican I've heard lately. I probably lean more Republican than Democrat, but I barely vote Republican because they make me feel like if I don't agree with them on every issue then I don't belong. Well I guess thats fine... I'll just vote against them.

obviously, Megan McCain is the result of being raised by a liberal;
disrespectful to others, to morals, and mostly to herself. She should shut up and go home. She has absolutely no credibility to be showcased by CNN...unless they're just doing to so promote Obama-hype..(again, another person with no credibility)

I believe that Meghan McCain would like to be the leader of the republican party because of her outbursts. The republicans should choose a person that has been in politics for several years and Meghan doesn't fit that bill. She speaks like she would like to be in control and hasn't been in politics until recently.Meghan should not be making remarks about Bristol Palin because Bristol's advice has nothing to do with the political field plus it will cause friction between herself and Sarah Palin who is a good candidate to run for the presidency in 2012. If I am correct Meghan would like to also replace Michael Steele who is doing a great job and has the experience to lead. He may have been on a rocky start but what politician hasn't.

As I've said many times, I think what could help out the Republicans is to embrace Separation of Church & State. I suggested this on a message board on Fox News and was almost torn a new one. I was told Republicans use their faith to lead with integrity. (I responded with: "Actions speak louder than words," among other things.) Get religion out of the discussion, really.

Republicans want a smaller government. OK, go back to that basic concept and build on it.

Democrats want a safty net for those American who might need it. Many Republicans disagree with that, and therefore that's why they're not Democrats.

Change is inevitable for the Republican Party. For the sake of America, I hope the Republican Party goes back to the basics and stops trying to appeal to a "religious base".

while i don't agree that she should be the person that says it, I agree wtih her wholeheartedly.

I think Republicans need to be more centric to include those that were Republicans during the Reagan years. That seems to be the only way to gain back power in the Congress and eventually re-take the White House.

Hopefully before Obama, Reid and PeLIEsi do any more damage to the ever growing national debt with their spending ways.

Oh and is there a reason that illegal immigrants aren't going to be required to be involved in the health care reform? WHen did the ILLEGAL IMMIGRANT lobby become so strong? They are the ones increasing our costs while they use the ER's as a doctors office at 5-10x the cost.

Seems that Ms. McCain is able to articulate appropriate RNC principles. Shame that Mr. Steele is unable to do the same.

Ironically enough, mr steele of the RNC owes everything to barack obama. before obama was elected, steele was just another face in the crowd. he stood out more than the rest, if you know what I mean, but still just another face.

after barack was elected, the republicans dragged steele into the spotlight, as if to say "Well, looky here, we have one of them, too. we're hip, we're cool."

and now steele says the republicans are through apologizing for past mistakes? mr steele, Bush and his criminal gang got us into the dumbest, costliest war in american history. you can apologize till the day you drop...and it will NEVER be enough.

`
Exactly what has Ms Mccain done in her life to command so much attention?

Also, she's not doing her party any good by going rogue and not sticking to the talking points laid out by GOP leaders Palin & Limbaugh. If she feels compleeled to speak, she should stick with the party line.

My virtual political junkies,

Meghan McCain is a refreshing modern-day benefactor of the true spirit of the party that Lincoln founded.

The ideas that she is espousing are not new – they genuinely represent that values of the GOP stood for BEFORE the social conservative activists and neo-cons took over the party in the 80's.

Oh Meghan, go away! Trust me, the republicans don't give a hoot what you have to say.

I think Megan is spot on. We need to purge this party of the Palins and Cheneys that put off the average American voter. We need to be a kinder and more inclusive party instead of the party of fear and hate. This party needs to remember that our goal is to make life better for the people. All of the people. Unless we can get back to that I may be forced to become a Democrat after over 30 years as a Republican.

Megan,

I'm over 60 and single and have a vary open mind,I agree with you on everything,especially the abstinence thing-–I love to party,Republican,Democrat,I don't care-I just love to party-call me !

Just as the Dems went with a new voice backed by logic, honesty, and temperance, so must go the Repubs. The Repub party will not regain any prominence until they shed the Neanderthals that are their current leadership, or at least until these narcissists step back from the podium. This includes they're distancing themselves from the fear and loathing of their media mouths on talk radio and Fox media. Megan McCain and her peers are their future, too bad they will take a long while to understand this.

I consider myself an independent voter with 21st century science as my guide rather than stupid religious dogmas. I think Miss McCain would make a good leader for the Republican party as she matures

John McCain should have let her counsel him instead of those morons who cost him the presidency. If she had advised him, I really think he would have won. Meghan is a very progressive Republican.

Oh – and it's not that gays are in the Democratic party because the GOP is a scary place – although it is – gays are in the Democratic party because they are liberal.

GO AWAY your 15 mins are up. You are not a republican so stop spewing your liberal ideas to us WE ARE NOT CHANGING our conservative values for ANYONE, YOU GOT THAT MEGHAN???

Like her father, she's politically lost. Her views and comments don't add anything to the political debate and are designed to keep herself in the news for ultimately personal gain. Next!

I bet Rush Limbaugh will be making a statement here soon on this.

I agree with her.. you cant DICTATE and RULE everyones lives because of your own beliefs. I dont agree with Abortion, Teen Sex, Gays.

But that is their personal choice and they will make the mistakes and pay for them.

I think there are other ways to educate your young kids.. STARTING WITH PARENTS!!! To keep them straight, to keep them safe from preganancy, raise adoptions, and prevent abortions.

When I think of all the people in both parties who have invested their lives in service, who have studied and prepared themselves for public service, and through experience and hard work, have earned a right to speak, I am amazed that this blog is still giving so much time and space to a 24-year-old child who has never had to hold a job or work for anything.

She needs to twitter. She does not need the coverage that the media is so foolishly giving her.

Papa must be so proud. LOL

"The era of apologizing for Republican mistakes of the past is now officially over."

I don't recall hearing any apologies, do you?

I think Ms. McCain is showing a great deal of backbone and independence – and an ancharacteristic amount of common sense for a person in the Republican Party these days. A note on the reference to the RNC Chair's remark, though:

Hey, Mr. Steele – how is it that we missed ANY apologies from the RNC or the Republican Party? The era is over because it never began. The list of things for which the Republicans owe us an apology is endless – just in the last 8 years.

If the Republican party has become too extreme for Meghan McCain, then maybe it's time for her to find a new party. I can't imagine the Republican party getting more mainstream any time soon. This talk of a small government is not realistic in todays world. Large corporations, the healthcare industry, etc, have shown they will not do the right thing for this country and their employees. They only care about lining the pockets of the executives so we need a government to look out for us. And that takes a larger government.

Meghan is speaking to the deaf ears of the GOP who would rather listen to a 17 year old unwed and uneducated Bristol Palin. Good luck Meghan but it appears the GOP has totally lost their way and there is no place in the GOP for smart intelligent and educated young people.

"If you go to the basic beliefs of the Republican party of keeping government out of your life, why can't that include marriage?" she said.

Because, that gets them votes dummy. The GOP will NEVER give up the strategery of harping on divisive issues that aren't the province of our secular, Constitutional government and using them to divvy up the voting market. Abortion, same-sex marriage, evolution, religious dogma, etc. It's all part of their core platform designed to secure them a guaranteed subset of the voting public who will never ever consider the practical and legal realities of our governmental system, but instead will cast knee-jerk votes based on one, maybe two, issues alone in a selfish insistence that the rest of the country should live as though their beliefs match those of that voter...whether they believe likewise or not. It's a pipe dream to think that they will shift paradigm.

Meghan, while I applaud you, you are crazy to think the Republican party welcome gay people. Yes, Obama has NOT Done a thing for gays, but from that- to the Republican party welcoming gays... there is a very, very, long stretch!

The problem with the Republican party is that they've completely abandoned their so called principle of keeping government out of people's live by trying to force the Christian right's views on everyone. Meghan McCain is correct and if all Republican's thought like she did I might actually vote for one.

Hey how about that, CNN is doing a Palin story. The libs must be scared to death of her judging by the amount of coverage she gets from CNN. It gives them a chance to keep practicing their name calling.

""If you go to the basic beliefs of the Republican party of keeping government out of your life, why can't that include marriage?" she said.

It's simple, Ms. McCain. Marriage is not a "right." It's a social contract. It always has been, recognized by the state (or the sovereign, if you reach back far enough).

If you want government out of marriage, then the government won't be able to claim later with a straight face that marriage is between two people. Be ready for the inevitable flood of bigamy, polygamous marriage, underage marriage, and all sorts of other deviations from two individuals.

Be SURE that's what you want before you go there.

The problem is the most vocal opponents to gay marriage has been former President Bush and other members of the Republican party. That makes the democratic party a better fit.

She's a smart woman. Must take after her mother.

God bless Meaghan McCain! The woman is a breath of fresh air out of the most stale and foul-smelling political parties around anywhere...the GOP (Greedy Obstructionist Puritans)!

If those ugly, old, white creeps that run the party have any sense...(and I don't think they do, or they wouldn't be in the mess they are!)...they would embrace, and listen to this beautiful, intelligence, and thoughtful young woman, who embodies what their party used to stand for, and should stand for.

Instead, what do they do? The embrace even worse creeps like Limbaugh, and Hannity, and O'Reilly, and other whach-job extremists that refuse to accept or even listen to the voice of compromise or moderation, andf they throw stones at her! Never mind Meaghan!! You just keep talking. I'll bet you you could run for office if you wanted to, and do very, very well! Far better that thos old bastards.

I personally don't care much, because I am a Progressive. But I like Meaghan. For the rest, they can all go hang themselves, which would be more productive than what they have been doing for the last 30 years! Go Meaghan!

"The era of apologizing for Republican mistakes of the past is now officially over."

As long as DICK Cheney stay in the news, your party's mistakes will always be centerstage.

I thought Megan McCain gave a great interview and made a lot of good points that Republicans would be smart to consider. If the GOP adopted her social ideas, the party would be back on the path toward relevancy. But most likely she will be attacked and demeaned by the so-called party leaders. As a Democrat I do enjoy watching the GOP slowly wither away, but you'd think they would grab a life line from this smart and savvy conservative woman.

I think Megan is really a democrat and doesn't even know it yet.

" 'I do believe the Republican Party can be a safe place for the gay community,' McCain said in the at-times lighthearted interview. 'President Obama said that he was going to repeal 'Don't Ask Don't Tell' and I think me and a lot of other people are still waiting on that and the Democratic Party isn't necessarily a better place for the gay community than the Republican Party is.' "

She's got a good point. Obama needs to repeal DADT and allow gays to serve openly in the military. How many more Arab linguists are we going to kick out for being "fancy"?

" 'If you go to the basic beliefs of the Republican party of keeping government out of your life, why can't that include marriage?' she said."

Also a good point. Why does the party of less government interference and smaller government want the government to interfere in marriage and the bedroom?

" 'It can be a party for a 24 year-old pro-sex woman. It can be,' McCain also said."

It could be, but then it wouldn't be the Republican Party. At least, not a Republican Party with a whole-body infection of religious right fanatics.

Guess Meghan's been around the block a time or two.

So, if McCain's daughter was equally as vocal, but in support of more conservative views, CNN would be granting her a similar amount of coverage, right?

Look out now....here comes every right wing nutcase around.

Speaking your mind and having a stand other than the far right wing neo-cons will get you in hot water.

Socially moderate Republicans are welcome ....along with socially moderate Democrats.......and when you combine these two...you get the MAJORITY of Americans

Meghan is trying to become relevant in the political sphere, however the more she talks the less important she becomes.

steele said sunday on MTP that it cost to much money to legalize gay marriage.. He said it was extra added cost for insurance and so forth.

While i appreciated Megan's openness, she still stood behind Palin and her diddy at those hate filled rallies and supported them, that was a mistake
