Meghan McCain to Rove & Cheney: ‘Go Away’

smart girl.
agreed, go away C h e n e y.

McCain is very funny and i like her. She has a bright future.

i *like* her spunk!

her daddy is an Idiot, so she is most likely an idiot also
just ask her

An objective, liberty-loving republican who is not afraid to speak the truth. Man that’s baller.

Go away Megan! :) In all seriousness, it’s a bit silly for her to think ( and you other “posters” here) that she is some sort of expert. The ONLY reason she gets any attention is because she is John McCains daughter and is DEFYING her daddy. It sells and gets headlines. It’s VERY disrespectful for her to so insult people who have made a lifetime of serving this country. I HATE Barney Frank, but I still owe him some respect for serving this country. Grow up Meghan! You commenters should grow up a bit too, and realize that part of being an adult means being respectful even to those with whom you disagree. Is civility and decorum dead? Among the rabble… yes.

Unprecedented?
Have we already forgotten Al Gore’s fire-breathing, public scoldings of The Bush administration?
Note to Miss McCain: I’m sure you’re a nice young lady and all, but wake up… You’re only receiving media attention because you’re bashing Republicans. You’re being used. The second you’re critical of Obama, you’ll be kicked to the curb and written off as an idiot by the same people who are now trumpeting you.

Meghan doesn’t realize it yet but she’s harming her party by piling onto the ‘let’s keep talking each other down’ train. She is playing into the hands of the opposing party, and sadly, she loves the attention so much she can’t see the reality. She’s really self-absorbed, all her blog posts are about her and how cool she is. Come back in 10 years Meghan with some life and work experience and a little less spoiled rich girl perspective and you might make a decent addition to the public face of the party.

The more she speaks the more I like her. While some of you republicans tell her to go away? Trust me, she’s right. Rove and Cheney are doing you far more harm.

I think it might be a first for me to be saying that I’m in agreement with a Republican… but Meghan has a very good point. The only reason that young voters have for being Republican is because dear ole Mommy and Daddy vote that way. The Republican party does not appeal to young voters in any shape or form whatsoever.

FedUp! Are you serious!?! Small town! That’s not AVERAGE America that’s called SHELTERED America.

jawincaligurl: I do not vote republican b/c my parents do. (besides my parents dont always vote for party lines) I voted for McCain b/c I agreed w/ him on a lot more issues than I did w/ Obama. Its my choice to pick the canidate that best suits me and the issues I care about. For me its not about party lines, I just tend to agree w/ the republican party a bit more….

Small town does NOT equel sheltered. Many of us in small town America are educated…Just b/c we live in smaller towns and not huge cities does not mean we are any less valuable to the democratic system than anyone else. We are not just a bunch of backwoods idiots. We pay attention and do our homework on the issues!

Let’s take a look at what the Republican party has done for young America…
Oh yeah there’s “Leave Every Child Behind”
Great Idea…
Glad I graduated before the Bush Administration could ruin me!

I’m a middle of the road independant, but I agree with Meghan on this way…Rove & Cheney just need to go away.

While she self-identifies as a repub on the current media tour, it’s known that she’s not & is looking to use dad’s rep to land a talk show gig. Can’t anyone just try to make it on their own anymore?

Megan hit the nail on the head. Unless the Republican party expands it base. It will be a minority party for a long time. They have to be more than the party that says no. The Republicans expect us to continue the same old failed policies. The voters decided it in November. All they want is for Obama to fail. They stakes are too big to allow it. The stimulus vote showed that they don’t have anything to offer.

life – I’m a centrist. You do NOT have to justify your choice of party and the fact you don’t reside in LA. As far as I am concerned? You can view gay marriage as you wish. I simply ask that you do not demonize gays because of your stance (I’m afraid some far righties did too much of this). Good luck with democrats not demonizing you over it though, huh? In my view what you said was not mean. I’m getting a bit fed up with this lack of respect over opinions thing going on.

“the Constitution and morals are absolutes”
Actually, the Constitution is a living document, as it was designed to be.

REAL America is found in Metropolitan areas which brings cities, suburban and small towns into economic and social unions. Small town does not accurately reflects the radically connected and interdependent way that Americans live and work together. Two-thirds of the American population live in the top 100 metropolitan areas. 84% of Americans live in all 363 Metropolitan areas.
The largest metropolitan areas house 76 percent of “knowledge economy” jobs (such as software developers), 81 percent of R&D employment, and 67 percent of major U.S. research universities.

NO, NO, NO………….
We need MORE Cheney, Palin, Rove, Joe the Plumber, Rush, and those ridiculous “tea parties”.
Let the GOP do what they do best……..MAKE COMPLETE FOOLS OF THEMSELVES !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
These people are a gold mine for the Democratic Party and President.

The GOP needs to open its eyes. They don’t have to give up their conservative values, but the era of angry, old, white men has passed. If you want to keep losing elections then keep people like Rove, Cheney, Limbaugh, and Gingrich in the spotlight. The majority of Americans have spoken and they no longer have the stomach for the bitter and divisive politics of old. Miss McCain is a breath of fresh air for the GOP and they should take advantage of it.

Shes right, Rove and Cheney need to disappear. They are a negative influence on the party’s image that is conveyed to Americans. She is the image of a moderate Republican, which is something the party needs! Moderates not Extremist’s.

For the life of me I can’t believe the people’s support of people like Chaney, Rove, or Rush. These 3 people are such hate merchants. I have to believe they are self loathing to spew the diatribe they do, but why do people listen to them in the first place?

Meghan is obviously auditioning for the role played by the increasingly screechy blonde breeder, who will be going away to spawn soon. Elisabeth better watch her back, or Babs might kick her scrawny butt to the curb …

McCain is a sharp young woman. Rove and Cheney are fat slobs that make the Republicans look like weenies.

Thank you for your comment. I couldn’t agree more !!

jawnincaligurl – I can’t stand it when a republican tries to say that middle America is the real America. Congrats – you have done the same with your snotty post. You have become one of those.

I’m a Republican under 30 and did not vote for Obama. I agree w/ everything she said. Question…if it’s such a big deal, why can’t gays just have a “couple’s ceremony” or w/e and give it the same rights. Its seems like most people that have a problem, their sticking point is the sacred bond of marriage from a religious standpoint. Ok, then just call it something else but give these people their due rights.

She knows what 2 pieces of Shi! looks like…..Rove and Cheney. Rove Outted an CIA operative. Cheney gave orders to Torture, and hid out for 7 years “Robbing” America blind, and Hunting.

she’s hot so I like what she has to say;

Just an observation… I have often noticed that those with the weakest arguments tend to accuse their opponents of “whining.” Really. Look for it–it is usually the mark of someone stretching to denigrate opponents.

Rove and Cheney don’t have to go away. If they continue to be high profile the republican party will continue its down hill slide. At some point in the future they will make the republican party academic. That works for me. the question is, does it work for the republican party? They had there chance to govern for eight years. They blew it really badly. There constant comments just remind the public that they still don’t understand the magnatitude of what they have done.

Seems to me that this gal has a good head on her shoulders, even if she’s 24 years old. Whats great is that she’s had the best obervations having a father who’s a republican senator. Not that I am but also it seems that the “teabagers” are very afraid of her opinions and beliefs that she’s drawing support from the media and public. BTW you idiots Chennys daughter is openly gay, guess that doesn’t count, huh? And for most I would like to see Chenny and Rove go away, to Levenworth a long time!

Meghan was an idiot who put down every Repubshe could think of saying too old to be face of party. Her father was just the “face” of the party. She was an idiot who was bashing the repub party cause she wants attention. She was a sad girl today and racist Whoopi, Joy and Sherri loved every minute cause they got to bash too. NOT A GOOD REPLACEMENT FOR ELISABETH. However, Elisabeth doesn’t stick up for party anymore either. They have worn her down, Barbara the worst of all, then racist Whoopi.

YOU go away, Megan and take your father with you!!

Hey, letusleaf, couldn’t your Goldwater quote also apply to the Democratic, liberal preachers such as Wright, Sharpton and Jackson if you substituted liberalism for conservatism? How about liberals who talk about “separation of church and state” and then campaign from church pulpits?

I really like miss Meghan!
For once,at last, a reasonable voice within the GOP

Meghan is thinking logically, while most Republicans, especially no brain conservative right wing Repubs, fail to follow the breadcrumbs.

…that’s because fatboy Rush won’t leave any breadcrumbs for them to follow. He even laps up the crumbs that fall on his fat shirt.

LEAVE RUSH OUT OF THIS !!!!
He’s not “fat”, he’s just big-boned.

OK Meghan McCain, I found you amusing for the past few months, but now you’re starting to annoy me. Rove and Cheney have just as much rights to speak out with their opinions as anyone. Just because we don’t like what they have to say doesn’t mean they should shut up or go away. Whatever happened to the days when we respected people’s opinions even when we don’t agree with them?

we have enough gaya and lesos in the world so all of you get back in the closet

I think’s she’s cute. She just needs to show more of that thickness. I like women with a little meat on their bones.

I enjoyed listening to a new voice, if we listen and quit critizing her we might learn something. She has been in politics all her life. She is not just a daughter of a senator. She grew up with politics all around her, has experiences an average child doesn’t have. So if the republican party has any hope listen and learn. I also liked her better than that other host Elizabeth, she is alot more interesting and we can learn about the insides of politics if she would be on more often.

Rove and Cheney belong in prison. They are two of the most evil politicians of the last one hundred years. Megan is right to disavow these two.Only a few traitorous Americans still back these two evil minions.

Meghan, — Go be a Democrat, — please. Because between you or them I pick them. Thanks, Conservative, 50, and proud to be that way.

Conservatives are going the way of the Dinosauer. Over 80% of all voters under thirty are registered Democrats. When your leaders are Rush,Cheney and Rove you know your party is dead! RIP Rightwingers! Your history!

As a progressive, I respect Meghan McCain’s slant on Cheney and Rove, but I also wish she would shut up. The GOP is doing an excellent job of tripping over its own feet these days and I’d like to see them continue that pathetic act clear up to 2012. If by some odd chance the GOP was smart enough to listen to Meghan, I think there would be a stronge danger that they might actually become relevant again. Shhh Meghan!

It’s so laughable to hear the anti-gay Rebublican rabble on here saying things like “Megan is disrespecting those that serve their country” and next thing they’ll do is switch the radio over to Rush Limbaugh and worship every word that that 1st year city college flunk out who has never served his country a day–not even as a mayor of a small town in Alaska–has to say…as if God himself were speaking.

I agree with Meghan, Rove and Chenney have run this country down in the last 8yrs, they should go to jail. On same sex mariage, i disagree with u Meghan. But thanks for your courage, if u ever run for any political office, i will be ur #1 supporter,we need honest people like you in office

Megan is right: The Republicans are an Endangered Specie. – Rove & Cheney are dinosaurs that just need to go away! – Their impersonation of evil is excellent and it’s hurting the Republicans and America

Did you all happen to see Beyonce’ on The View today?
GOOD LORD!!!!!……That woman looks almost TOO good.
…..sorry folks, I had to get that out.

So Meghan, if anyone should go away it should be your Dad, John McCain, for allowing a radical muslim to win the election. Your dad would not even allow anyone to mention the word “muslim”, among other things,during his campaign. As a result of his loss, he has allowed Obama to sell us out to all our enemies. Then again, maybe your Dad was never any match to Obama because your dad, is stupid. I hope he does not win again in the senate election. He doesn’t desrve it. So get out of my country!!Traitors!!

Meghan is her dad’s “mini-me”. Wants to be the media’s darling because she DARES to stand up to the Republicans. She has lost the respect of the GOP so she might as well switch over to the Dems already. She is one of the most annoying people ever!!!

AMEN
And as my 24 year old daughter notes, there are now 17 ways to produce a human being (not sure if that includes the original or not). Some of us are just fine with fewer people reproducing. The idea of nothing but humans and genetically engineered animals on the planet is revolting.
As far as Meghan, I think she grew up a lot on the campaign. Certainly not too many 24 year olds have the experience in politics she does (good, bad and ugly).
The GOP definitely needs to hear from younger voices about gay marriage and other issues. It is very tied to generations. The young Republicans here saying they don’t agree with her are irrelevant. There aren’t enough of them and the old white men to win elections without cheating.
Just because she’s young, has connections and probably a few maladjustment difficulties (rather the rule in politics) doesn’t mean she can’t have some good ideas or even seeds to sow.
I certainly want the current version of the GOP to get some major transformations, and more political parties would strengthen Congress, Meanwhile we are stuck with a 2 party system for awhile and the less insanity they try to spread, the better.

Should ask her why she calls herself a Republican, she has more in common with crazed liberal democrats just like her father. Why any Republican listen to her? The only ones who agree with her are liberals. she is a joke, just like her democrat team.
http://www.democratsareajoke.com

wally the miner, you are shining example of a true liberal democrat. A total and complete racist!! Nice job on outing the underbelly of the liberal beast.

Go away McCains, Megan & John…PLEASE.

As a young person, I don’t believe in gay “marriage” and I think the McCains are disgracing a formerly spotless record of public service-Sen. McCain with his vote to confirm Eric Holder and Ms. McCain with her juvenile comments. As for not criticizing the president, any free citizen (including Rove and Cheney) can, if you hadn’t noticed it’s part of their first amendment rights. And it’s not like the democrats withheld criticism of Bush when he was in office.

Would like to be around when Miss McCain and Levi Johnson grow up a little and realize how badly they are both being used. This is trash from someone whose only claim to fame is having John McCain for a dad. Grow up, Meghan, do something to gain some respect for your own abilities, and then maybe someone will take you seriously. Republicans are laughing at your naive assumptions that your opinions matter, and Democrats are using you to try to make Republicans look foolish. The only one looking foolish is you.

Judging by this discussion thread the Republican Party is extremely fractured …
And as a Democrat, I’m loving it. Keep going guys!!!

Chris – You wish! Just because it’s not reported by the left wing news does not mean we are not together. You will be surprised in 2010 when the vote is out. No more of this nonsense – everyone must go and a sane sense of government brought back to America. Can’t WAIT!!!!!!!

The truth hurts and Meghan is hurting a lot of Republican feelings by placing a mirror to their faces and telling them why they look so ugly. The Republican party is failing becasue there is so much negativity the people can stand before they have to exorcize it. There’s just so long people will allow a group to hold back society before they have to break free and move on. Meghan is right. Allowing civil marriages for gay couples will create more conservatives.

I suppose I am a closet Republican. I tend to vote Democratic in recent years because I vote for who I think would be best for the Country. As I age I realize I am becoming much more conservative (but I still believe a little progressive never hurts). I have stated lately to anyone who will listen that I shall never again vote for a Republican after seeing the blatant partisanship and lack of morals coming from that Party. Each Party represents exactly that–the Party they are affiliated with–the public is left out in the cold.

This is what needs to be done to save the Republican Party. As Christie Todd Whitman has said, the extreme right has taken over the party. Politicians who claim to be leaders, like McCain’s father, instead bow to the base. The inability of the politicians, the men who actually have power, to criticize Limbaugh without apologizing a day later is actually an abdication of leadership. Cheney and Rove have perfected the art of leading the base around by their noses, but are actually men without principle, driven by the acquisition and exercise of power. They have had their chance and have severely damaged the country. They should shut up, and if they don’t, the media should ignore them. After all, Cheney has probably had more public exposure since leaving office than in eight years spent manipulating the sysstem from an undisclosed location.

Ask Rush or Sean who the better spokesperson is? I am sure they have nothing good to say about Meghan McCain. For almost 70% of America, the right wing mouthpieces, Bill O’, Sean, Glenn, Rush want to finish the Bush Administration’s work – constructing that bridge back to the 17th Century………….

“What makes her an authority on anything?The left loves her because she plays into their hands and she is too dumb
to know it.”
That’s an interesting way to frame it. What does it have to do with the left? There are plenty on the right who agree with her. The Republican party needs new parameters…new definition…new blood…I realize that kind of an oxymoron, but it’s true. It’s a shambles, and simply gathering around a mutual disdain for the occupany of the White House is neither healthy for the party, nor constructive. I’m not saying she’s a worthy voice in the future of the party, just that she has a point.

Ask Rush or Sean who the better spokesperson is? I am sure they have nothing good to say about Meghan McCain. For almost 70% of America, the right wing mouthpieces, Bill O’, Sean, Glenn, Rush want to finish the Bush Administration’s work – constructing that bridge back to the 17th Century………….

“Do not wait for leaders – do it alone, person to person.” -Mother Teresa

All commentators have to start somewhere and I think she is off to an interesting career. What makes Limbaugh qualified to speak on ANY subject? At her age he was a college drop out and disc jockey yet he is the mouth piece for the conservatives. She graduated from an Ivy League school and has already published a book. While I understand her point about Rove and Cheney, I do not agree. There are many lessons to be learned from their mistakes and the more they talk the more it reinforces why Obama is in office and not (shudder)McCain/Palin.

Miss McCain – You will never become the “New Voice” of the Republican party. Firstly, you bad mouth people in the manner of liberals. Second, I personally think that there is certainly someone more competent than yourself for the very important role of shaping our party. You my dear are NOT a conservative and therefore you should join the liberals since your ‘views’ match more of their own. The republican party can and will be remade to reflect the views of conservatives across this great nation. They will be empowered to uphold the Constitution and the values and principles that made this country great. You can join us or join the democrats but you will NOT EVER make the Conservative Republican party a “mini” version of the democrats!!

If they won’t shut-up or go away…maybe we shoulda locked ‘em up and thrown away the key.

Geez, the only voice of reason crying out in the Republican wilderness.
Meghan and Republicans who think as she does are the last, best chance for the Republican Party to survive.
Republican stupidity is a threat to our Two Party System.

Used to be registered Republican in the 90s until the party got hijacked by the Right Wing Ultra Conservatives. Now I’m registered as a Democrat and even contributed to Obama, but if the Republican party becomes more like Meghan, I’ll probably switch back to being Independent. Right now the Democrats hold the center, and the Republicans are controlled by right-wing wackjobs. If there are more moderates like Meghan it’ll definitely start taking the center back from the Democrats.
Or you can follow Coulter. Repubs got rid of most of the RINOs and it got them down to 41 seats in the Senate. Maybe you can get rid of the rest (Collins, Snowe, Specter) and you’ll be at a whopping 38. Seems to me like normal Republican math:
tax cuts = more revenue
losing senate seats = winning

Oh, gosh. WHY are we giving this poor young woman ANY airtime? She is clueless as to what the republican party stands for and I might add that her dad doesn’t seem to either. She needs to keep her mouth closed when it comes to her giving advice to what the republican ‘brand’ needs to stand on.One shouldn’t leave your morals at the door!! I guess she has never heard of Jimmy Carter, Al Gore, Bill Clinton, Paul Begala, James Carville in trouncing the Bush administration for 8 years!! She never considers that Rove or Cheney just MIGHT know more than she does and these guys don’t want this country to get attacked! PLEASE! Spare us this uneducated girl’s thoughts!

I’m just loving the comments by the “Righties!” “Meghan is fat; Meghan is stupid; Meghan is too young to know what she’s talking about; Meghan is “just” a politician’s daughter; Meghan is a closet lesbian.” If any of you fools are still scratching your heads about how the GOP got its butt trounced in November, search your own words to get a clue. Your party has run out of ideas and has alienated the vast majority of American voters because the best you can do to argue your beliefs is to personally belittle anyone who disagrees with you.
The GOP has become too rigid, too exclusive. It has become the party which foolishly believes in “all or nothing” choices. It will not take under its umbrella fiscal conservatives who believe in equal rights for ALL our citizens. It rejects proponents of the 2nd Amendment if they are also pro-choice. It does not tolerate those who abhor the death penalty, even when those same voters favor less government spending on those who refuse to help themselves. And finally, the GOP has refused to recognize that most Americans can support the soldier,if not the war that soldier is ordered to fight.
Therefore, I am a Democrat. Most likely, Meghan McCain is too, though she just hasn’t realized it. It hasn’t yet dawned on her that by virtue of being “young”, or “fat, or “inexperienced” or outspoken, or constitutionally astute, she can never fit under that tiny GOP umbrella.

“She never considers that that Rove or Cheney just MIGHT know more than she does, and these guys don’t want this country to get attacked.”
Where do we start on this silliness? Has justrighttoo missed the fact that “these guys” who MIGHT know so much are responsible for the economic situation that we are in because they “knew” that regulations were strangling business? And he worries about Afghanistan invading us when we have already destroyed ourselves?!!! bin Laden jerked “those guys” around like puppets and got them to spend us into the same disaster that the Russians did in Afghanistan during the Carter administration. bin Laden is quite frank that he will bleed America dry by yanking the Republicans’ string so that they spend money on antimissile missiles instead of education and healthcare. And his program is working beautifully thanks to the aforementioned guys who MIGHT know what they are doing.
Let me tell you that bin Laden isn’t stupid. He sees no reason to invest time and resources in destroying us when “these guys” are adamant about doing it for him.

Funny that Rove and Cheney are getting so much air time. Since Rove has been supeoned and refuses to testify under oath, should we really believe what we hear outta his mouth on FOX ? Cheney tells us that memos will justify his administrations positions,,,so would testimony under oath!
And as for Gore speaking out against the Cheney/Bush admin, he did not do so for YEARS, respecting tradition until it was unbearable to keep silent. Remember the beard? And the weight gain?
Then, for Cheney to have the gall to utter teh Obama admin is doing the economy damage? Hello, I’m still not able to picture the Cheney/Bush prosperity…..When was that?
And as for Ms McCain, I think that she is an American, so therefore is a valid source of opinion. Much more so than someone that has had 8 years of oppurtunity to do good, and has squandered prosperity, safety, good will, allies world wide, and American pride and standards, while ignoring the constitution.
Please note how the one constant GOP traint now seems to be “projection” of faults and foibles onto anyone that may dare to point them out, such as how “Obama is violating the constitution”. Really? Has he gathered a secret group to attempt to change laws after violating them yet, such as we are learning of the last admin?
Are we incarcerating in secret sites and torturing bankers to learn why the hate America?
And do you really beleive that to acheive bipartisanship Obama should try “tax cuts” as a “new” strategy? Really?
I thought we did that and it got us where we are now!
And gay marriage causes distruction of the institution? So, they are breaking at an even faster rate than the previous 50%?
And is not “imitation the greatest form of flattery?”
I remember the scream about “gay promiscuity” as the source of HIV and aids spreading, and now when the opposite is proposed you oppose that too. Seems that you are exposing your just plain outright hatred.
And hatred is NOT a useful family value. You need to remember that there are AMERICANS that are NOT just like you, but, have the same rights, and dreams just like you; ie, settling down with the person they most love.
Hey, I couldn’t do it, because I’m not gay, but, could not care less about someone elses personal choices that do not harm anyone else.
Is it really your business what goes on in the bedroom nextdoor between adults?
Do you want what goes on in YOUR bedroom publicized?
Is the GOP the party of GALL, or Hypocracy? OR both?

Pardon me – typo: (repulsively idiological bent)

Republicans should heed Ms. McCain. Of course, I hope that they stay the disasterous course that they are on.

At last, a Republican that I like and respect. She’s smart enough to see that the nasty and toxic old guard must disappear if the Republican party is to survive. Not that there would be any loss if it didn’t…

Hey Ms. Mccain those guys were 2-0 in presidential elections.
Your daddy 0-1.
I think you need to understand that being a moderate in either party is losing cause if I were you I would start my party. Im considered a conservative democrat in the south, and im black, so its one thing to criticize losers but these no matter how much you hate them the were winners and if my memory serves me correct Rove is 4-0 in election dont get mad cause your party is rebuilding mode, now you see how democrats felt in 2000 and 2004

Texas Aggie; Believing in the Republican/conservative party is as proving how much one is informed as is calling the GOP the NOP!
