Meghan McCain wants Republicans to wake up or else she just might leave the party.
The Republican daughter of Sen John McCain, who famously blogged from her father's presidential campaign bus about fashion on the campaign trail, is saying the GOP's positions on social issues are outdated and irrelevant.
'I don’t fit into the traditional Republican box that the 'wingnuts who have hijacked my party think all Republicans should,' she wrote in an opinion piece.

In an opinion piece penned for the Daily Beast, McCain notes that if the Republican Party does not adapt and start showing signs of social tolerance the GOP will not survive and that if she does not see signs of moderation on social issues she 'will consider registering as an Independent in 2016.'
The realization hit her election night as she was choking back tears over the Mitt Romney's campaign loss to President Barack Obama.
nttttt
'It’s not like he’s a close friend,' she wrote. 'Looking back to last week, I think that I was mourning something else. For the last four years, writing on this website, I’ve been calling for the Republican Party to come to terms with reality and modernize. Last Tuesday, Mitt Romney lost—and he lost big. As Republicans, we lost again. I felt sad, exhausted, beaten down, and heartbroken. It was the first time that I considered that the Republican Party, which I love so much, might die.'
McCain admitted that she doesn't fit into the typical Republican model of 'wingnuts who have hijacked my party,' but feels her the GOP step away from wrong-headed social issues.
'I care more about my economy, national security, and fiscal conservatism than I do about what other woman do with their bodies,' she writes. 'It’s not my place, and I don’t believe it’s the government’s place, to make such decisions.
'I also don’t believe it’s the government’s role to tell gays and lesbians that they can’t be given the same opportunities in American just because of who they love.'
What Ms McCain fears most, it seems, is the Republican Party becoming further isolated and irrelevant.
''Times are changing,' she wrote. 'The face of America is changing and we as Republicans stand at a crossroads. Are we going to accept the changing face of America and change with it?' she writes. 'It’s possible to maintain the core values of this party and evolve when it comes to social issues. Quite frankly, I don’t see any other path to success.'

If she leaves Boehner is sure to cry.

Yeah,now THERE is a threat.
To those of us who are independents,anyway.
Why is democracy held in such high esteem when it’s the enemy of the minority and makes all rights relative to the dictates of the majority? (Ron Paul,2012)

OK so let me get this straight. The Republican Party has moved so far to the left that Bill Clinton actually felt comfortable enough with it to contemplate leaving the Democrat Party. Yet, neocon's throughout the Republican Party (Megan McCain is not the only one making these demands) demand the party move even further left.
I have no doubt that no matter how far to the left the Republicans move, the members of LP, FR, and LF will happily embrace them and give them their full support.

Who exactly is doing this?
Whe says that a gay person doesn't have the same opportunities as anyone else in America?
Who?
No one.
It's propaganda.

I do.
Can gay couples marry legally in all 50 states? Are gay marriages legally recognized by the federal government? Can I get my Korean lover a spouse US visa? Didn't we discuss this once before?
Maybe you're the one who needs to quit lying (as you told me over at LP).

Yes they can. Just not to the same sex. I understand now why God said don't suffer a fag to live. If you freaks just got in the closet we wouldn't care about your perversions. You know you are a pervert don't you. Something is seriously wrong with your brain. Of the magnitude of having your head run over by a freight train.

Hey man, Happy Thanksgiving.

Its so unfair.

So I'm curious as to which one is the more appealing proposition to him/her??

If you asked him that in public to his face. He would have every right to end your life.

There are laws against bigamy as well.
Civil unions provide all the 'benefits' of marriage, so what are homos trying to accomplish anyway?

You can't marry your Korean boyfriend in Japan either, where you claim you live.
Guess what? You can't move to Korea and marry him either.
So, instead of constantly whining about the U.S., perhaps you'd be better off tearing up your U.S. passport, and have your boyfriend try to get you into South Korea as his husband. We'll see how far that gets you, you stupid son of a bitch.

Happy Thanksgiving. I wasn't completely serious.
Here is the deal. No one really cares what you do sexually. We don't give a shit.
Here is the problem. Some of you queers want to redefine marriage. Marriage by definition is between a man and a woman. What you want is equivalent to someone insisting that triangles have 4 sides. You want to redefine something. Quit trying to change us and go mind your own business. Why do you feel the need to tell us you are queer anyway? That is kind of weird. I don't go around telling everyone everything me and the wife do. So just chill out and quit trying to pervert out culture. In turn we will leave you queers alone and you can be as queer as you want.

That's the point they just can't or don't want to grasp!!

He would rather marry a genetic female who has had total body reconstruction and additions to give her big boobs, a tiny waist, a Brazilian butt and no cellulite or wrinkles, colors her hair, wears tight revealing clothes and wants lots of gaudy useless stuff. In other words one that would be approved of by his god.
Almost every country in the Middle East is awash in oil, and we have to side with the one that has nothing but joos. Goddamn, that was good thinkin'. Esso posted on 2012-01-13 7:37:56 ET

Fascinated about what you perceive as perversion?
What does that say about you?

Well lets see what are the "Links" at the top of my IE screen...
News, Sports, Weather, Political Blogs, C&R FFL Type Handguns, Cooking, Lawn Care and Fishing...
No Religion, Porn, Brazilians, Enlarging your wifes funbags for under $4000, "How to commit voter fraud in 3 easy steps", "How to Psychoanalyze Oneself-Unsuccessfully" or "How to project my inadequacies onto others-Unsuccessfully"...
So I guess that all depends on what you consider to be or not be a perversion!!
Maybe you should consider reading a little Freud, he wrote a good book that came out in 1905!

But a curiosity about my "depth of perversion."

You are a pervert. That is a fact unless you are a liar about it. You can change if you have courage. Jesus can heal you if you ask sincerely.

Nope, we're going to continue shoving gay marriage up your big, fat homophobic ass.
Better get used to it, stoner.

You're a retarded brain-dead moron.

I claim? LOL!
Guess what? You can't move to Korea and marry him either.
Point being?
So, instead of constantly whining about the U.S.,
Like you whine about Obama?
perhaps you'd be better off tearing up your U.S. passport, and have your boyfriend try to get you into South Korea as his husband.
Nah, I'll continue to live in Japan for the time being while retaining my US passport. Whether you like it or not, things are changing. Obama is the first president to come out in support of gay marriage, and more and more states are legislating gay marriage. Soon enough, I suspect the federal government will be recognizing these marriages.
We'll see how far that gets you, you stupid son of a bitch.
Wow, how the mighty have fallen. I actually used to consider you a somewhat articulate and intelligent poster, even if I didn't always agree with your positions. Now, you are reduced to juvenile name calling. Now you're like Badeye with a somewhat better command of the English language. Perhaps I should start calling you Badeye Lite.

Yea..
Or are you trying to insinuate that someone who knows about, is curious about and documents other peoples perversions is somehow a pervert himself???

Well, at least if they perceive certain actions as perversions, yup. Why else do my alleged "perversions" interest you?
