Meghan McCain to GOP: Gay Rights Now

NoBamaIn2012: This McCain staffers dumping on Palin thing has little to do with McCain and everything to do with Mitt Romney. The McCain staffers feeding hate speech on women mags like Vanity Fair have been in the tank for Mitt Romney for a long time, frankly first trying to get Romney in over McCain, then making sure McCain loses so Romney can rise again, and now making sure Palin is knee capped so Romney has no Republican primary opponent. But Romney can never win given he raised the crap out of Mass taxed in implemented a harsher Obamacare than Obama! Plus his hair is really scary! So write to Mitt and tell Mitt to call off his insidiously placed dogs!!

"Meghan McCain openly claimed the mantle of GOP spokesperson for gay issues " is the definition of two steps back for gay agendaers! Maybe you could team airhead Megan up with that weasel Keith Lewis, for an effective tag team gay agenda effort! Then you can chalk two up for PJR's side!! But know I love you gay fellas and fellerettes, even when your found being so dumb as rocks you make it all too easy!

Dear Meghan: Please give your father a message for me: tell him a former supporter says to stop dumping on Sarah Palin. I gave $1000 to his first Presidential campaign. I had my picture taken with him as I gave him a bouquet of white flowers. I used to respect him. I LOST respect for him when he repeatedly refused to confront Barack Obama during his last Presidential campaign. When he selected Sarah Palin as his running mate, he won me back, and I gave his campaign $100. She saved him from a humiliating loss (as opposed to a respectable loss), because without her as his running mate, Obama would have won by a landslide. Tell him his behavior is unbecoming. Tell him to please show some class.

I appreciate her comments, but I'm not about to run down and change my party affiliation to republican. Republicans don't listen to Meghan, they listen to Rush. And certainly the fundies aren't going to buy what she's selling....... The democrats are the better alternative for LGBT rights. The dems could do better and Obama needs to move forward on the big issues for the LGBT community, but overall when compared with the repubnlicans on LGBT rights issues, the Democrats win.

I tried approaching her 5 yrs ago in an upscale grocer off of Camelback and was asked NOT TO buy these men, I was going to ask her about her feelings on GLBT Issues NOT HER Father's since in AZ we DON'T HAVE ANYTHING (We thought Janet N would have came through...now Fed). But unapproachable all of them have, Cindy was at an afternoon tea in Scottsdale at a Chamber event and could not (NOT DARE) ask such thing! I was told. NOW she is acting as an adult on her OWN and has STEPPED UP TO THE PLATE, should shock Neil G by now...my ex major and chamber buddy. SHE WILL WAKE UP the Rep's and shout with Log Cabiner's!! You Go Girl! It's about tiempo!

I think it would really surprise people just how many of us "younger" republicans are absolutely, 100%, supporters of marriage equality. Out of my group of friends - 75% of them are Republican and 100% of them support marriage equality. They are all under 40 years old. The GOP needs to get OUT OF THE CHURCH, and bring the party back to where it's supposed to be. We are a party of small gov't, NOT small minds. How can a party be for small gov't, but be so anxious to give the gov't ultimate power over SO MANY social issues?! More young republicans need to get out, vote, and educate. We need to take a stand - like Miss McCain. We can get our party back. It will just take time.

Come on, y'all... how many of you can "make" your father say or do exactly what you want? Ms. McCain knows that most of the GOP doesn't see this issue the way she does, and she agrees that it is unfortunate. She is well educated, well spoken, not to mention beautiful, and I hope she continues to call attention to the important issues for years to come!

Meghan is powerless to do anything for marriage equality right now - but she's a very influential voice among the youth of the GOP. It's been impossible for me to vote Republican for most of my life. I have plenty of conservative views - I'm skeptical about minimum wage hikes, deeply opposed to price fixing in any form, uncomfortable with grand economic schemes like the bailout, and uneasy about what labor unions are doing to certain industries. But I'd never vote for a party that says "Part of fiscal responsibility is sticking our noses in everyone's bedroom." Or "The interests of white, heterosexual, Southern men is all that matters to us." So it's really refreshing to see someone like Meghan who isn't an ideologue - who can find the best of both worlds. In a couple decades, she's got the potential to become the first Republican I ever vote for. Guess that's horribly threatening to the GOP - that they might get my vote.

Great for Meghan. Even if she were not vocal before, at least now she is deomonstrating her support. We in the gay community do need the straight community or a part of it to support our points. We can not win this on our own. Afterall, most of the governement officals are heterosexuals. She has the means, credentials and will to make a cry to those who would turn their backs. She is a part of our force in changing the awful laws in our nation. We need to support her and stop trying to scratch her eyes out for not doing it sooner.

Thank you, Miss McCain. Her father could learn a lot from her!
