Meghan McCain – Those Darned Conservatives Aren’t Hip

Boy, I’m struggling with a difficult political issue. I can’t quite decide what to do or what to think. My gosh. What am I going to do???

Wait. I know. I’LL SEE WHAT MEGHAN MCCAIN THINKS!

Meghan McCain, former 1st daughter hopeful, has apparently decided that is precisely the scenario that young politically-minded folk go through daily. Therefore, she has set up shop on a site referred to as The Daily Beast. Promising. Confident that this was not sufficient marching orders for the teeming masses that seek her counsel, she also has begun to blog on the aptly named McCain Blogette.

It’s not like me to simply take shots at young, blonde, female people. At my rapidly advancing age it’s wise not to narrow the field by even one. But Miss McCain has painted the target upon her golden locks with her recent political offerings. In a wide ranging piece that started a feud, she went after Anne Coulter and Laura Ingraham.

“…Offensive, radical, insulting, and confusing all at the same…”

Meghan is entitled to her views on Miss Coulter. She is certainly a rather excitable creature, even though we find ourselves agreeing with her a large amount of the time. Additionally, it appears that Maverick’s daughter (Meghan) is cute despite accusations that flowed forth ex post facto from Miss Ingraham regarding her girth. We want to like you young lady. Alas, it is not to be.

As USA Today details, Meghan then went on to make liberals smile wide.

She does appeal to the most extreme members of the Republican Party—but they are dying off, becoming less and less relevant to the party structure as a whole. I think most people my age are like me in that we all don’t believe in every single ideal of each party specifically. The GOP should be happy to have any young supporters whatsoever, even if they do digress some from traditional Republican thinking.

Oh Meghan. It doesn’t require a spy glass and a Dr. Watson to connect the dots on this quotable. Describing herself earlier in the piece as a “Progressive Republican” concerned with the hipness of her party, she is embarrassed at “Extreme Conservatism” (her quote). You can be pretty certain that those ‘dying off’ firebrand folks Meghan is harpooning are none other than the Religious Right. This video offers some enlightenment on her own views regarding those darned social issues Yep. It’s us again!

But you know, maybe Maverick Daughter is right. Maybe if we abandon our unpopular and non-hip views on the family and small government that make us about as relevant as “Donny Osmond” (Meghan’s phrasing), people will like us! We just need to… feel the pulse of young people in America… show them we care. Tell them we feel they’re pain, and we’re going to offer them health care, better schools, an equal playing field, possibly even chocolate muffins. After all, no candidate embodies that model better than her venerable father. John Sidney McCain. And we all know how that worked out.

Wait…
