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!
