Republican Dentist Doesn't Understand Meghan McCain
My old friend Flap the blogging Republican dentist doesn't get why Meghan McCain is calling on the Republican Party to change its old ways and have a shot at being relevant to anyone under 50.
Meghan has emerged as a thoughtful, elouquent spokesperson for the conservative movement that is based in her Arizona DNA, a state that gave us Barry Goldwater and of course, her dad. Meghan is far more effective at spreading the Republican message to others as opposed to hateful shrews like Ann Coulter or Michelle Malkin or past their time blowhards like Rush Limbaugh. There certainly is a place for humor, wry wit and sarcasm of a conservative bent - Tammy Bruce, Dennis Miller, Doug McIntyre and John Phillips do it well. But it can be done without the often racially charged and homophobic rhetoric of the previously mentioned shrews and blowhard.
Dr. Flap says that Meghan appears uneducated (not true, she went to an elite prep school and Columbia University) and that she "expresses a generational angst and frustration but to think she is any future voice of the Republican Party is to fail to consider the source." Hello, McFly? Doc, don't ya think that the best person to ask how to get young people to the Republican party is a young person? Or would you suggest we ask Pat Boone?
The Republicans are not going to get ahead hating on the gays, bitching about the Mexicans and telling the Jews they must be "perfected." It's not going to draw disaffected Democrats, moderates, Libertarians and other to the GOP to have Rush Limbaugh quoting Obama in a voice imitating Amos and Andy. That schtick went out with Nixon. We have to focus on core Republican values of lower taxes, less government, strong national defense, personal responibility and individual freedom. With many Democrats around the country embroiled in scandals and shadiness, the Republicans could become the party of reform. But first we have to rebrand and drop the Phyliss Schafly act. Otherwise the party will continue to lose good conservatives such as this burro who recently dropped his GOP voter reg.
Addendum: Add to the shrew list Ann Coulter wannabe Laura Ingraham. Following the modus operandi of a Mayor Sam reader who can't debate the issues but throw personal insults Ingraham calls Meghan fat. That's great - a middle aged, left at the altar twice harpie calls a 24 year old woman fat. Great work! Way to represent!

I don't believe it! HIGBY is telling people he doesn't approve of throwing insults?
It's like Hitler telling someone, well, whatever.
Higby, you have zero credibility when it comes to telling people not to throw insults. You are a misogynist & racist and can't even recognize it. Look in the mirror, whitey before you throw stones.
When do you have to report to lockup loon?

When I need guidance in political matters, I look to Meghan McCain.
She is extremely wise, has shown the ability to excel in many challenging endeavors without the benefit of wealthy or influential parents, and has demonstrated time and again her deep understanding of what is best for the country.
Meghan/Paris 2012!
Sorry but when it comes to how this country is run I prefer the adults. Miss McCain is simply being the useful idiot of a liberal blogger.
And who is the adult here?
A 60 year old man and two nearly 50 year old women calling a young woman fat, imitating the President of the US as if he were a minstrel performer and calling on Jews to become Christians in order to be "perfected?"
Or a 24 year old woman who is calling on a political party who is quickly facing obscurity to be more inclusive, open minded and respectful of others?
Hmmm, that's a toughie X!
The girl has made it more about herself than the campaign. Meghan McCane is just trying to grab onto the last strings of her dad's national influence before he loses his power eventually.
The same goes for nutty Gloria Allred's daughter, Lisa Bloom. She is as annoying as her mother, but with an even more annoying voice.
But Higby, you dopey dum dum. The Republican party HAS already lost its way. Don't say BEFORE IT LOSES ITS WAY. That's why they put Michael Steele at the leadership position; to show the blacks that they, too, can give a big job to a man of color. But it's too little too late, you big dum dum.
Oh, that's right. I forgot. You are allowed to call people names, but we can't call you names. Sorry. Dum Dum
Well Mr. Higby, you are certainly entitled to your views on Coulter, Malkin & Limbaugh. Some of which I agree with. However, as 9:21 has already pointed out, the Republican Party is not losing its way in the manner you point out, but rather lost its way with the Bushes and Miss McCain's father, who at the first opportunity departed from the doctrine that made the Reagan revolution of which they so happily joined.
The Republicans has lost its way when their Congressional majority began acting like Democrats.
If the Republicans want to regain their footing, then they must not listen to Miss McCain, but rather to Ronald Reagan.
THE REPUBLICANS NEED TO GET THERE ACT TOGETHER. THEY FORGOT THERE ROOTS THEY NEED TO READ ABOUT LINCOLN AND STOP PUTTING SALES JARGON CANDIDATES TO RUN THERE PARTY. STAND FOR SOMETHING. LINCOLN SAID "WE THE PEOPLE" NOT WE THE CONTRIBUTORS, WE THE BIG BUSINESS.
