Thread: Meghan McCain tells the Republican Party to wake up or else she'll leave

Please leave Megan McCain and take your traitorous father John McCain with you. Between McCain, Bush, and Obama you have completely wrecked what was once the greatest nation on the Earth.

W

Agreed, please leave take your father and other rino's, join the Democrats because that is who you are.

Economy, national security, and fiscal conservatism, all important but without morals,values,the other three will fail.

Don't forget to shut the door on your way out!

......... and turn out the lights!

Oh no! Please don't leave! We just can't possibly get by without you! NOT!!!! PLEASE LEAVE NOW! WHO NEEDS YA!?! GOOD RIDDANCE TO BAD RUBBISH!!

She's a nut herself in many regards but she does have a point. The Republican party does need to step off a couple major holes they put themselves in. Specifically 2 I see which is "anti abortion" and "gay rights". These are the 2 issues I hear about with almost every friend I have who's moderate dem or independent that would likely think of voting Republican if not for the current stance. In the end you don't have to agree with abortion (I don't) but you could agree with letting someone do with their own body as they like. A number of years ago we had the same issue against birth control pills and the Republican party had to accept that, same deal. Gay rights, as well to a sense. Stop thinking your degrading someone else's life because you allow them the title of being "married". Marriage was around far longer then the Bible or Christianity/Catholicism, no one owns it. Again for some side issues I don't "like" it personally. But who am I to tell someone else how to live?

I really think if the Republican Party could "reform" and basically drop the GOP into lets say a new RNP (Republican National Party), or CNP (Conservative National Party) and change these 2 stances many moderate dems and independents would head on over. After all though isn't Conservative "less government" involvement in our lives? So isn't it conservative to see each to their own even if you personally disagree?

I'm sorry, I can't agree with "letting someone do with their own body as they like" because they are also doing something to the other small body inside of them. That child can't cry out, "Don't kill me, Mommy!" There are a very few instances where abortion may be necessary, but for most, they know what causes pregnancy and they refuse to take responsibility for their actions.

If these two stances are so important to you (and you are fiscally conservative) there is already a party for you--check out the Libertarian Party. Sounds like you should have voted for Gary Johnson. I agree with part of their platform, but I can't agree on abortion and a couple other things so I don't support them, but hey, sounds like just what you need!
