Meghan McCain on The Colbert Report

Last night Meghan McCain was on The Colbert Report and discussed being Pro-Sex, Pro-Life, and Pro-Gay Marriage. I have said it before and I'll say it again - Meghan is my favorite Republican.

The most interesting part of the interview is when Meghan talks about gays and which party is best for them. McCain says,

"I do believe the Republican party can be a safe place for the gay community. President Obama said he was going to repeal Don't Ask, Don't Tell and I think me and a lot of people are still waiting for that. And the Democratic party isn't necessarily a better place for the gay community than the Republican party is. And I think if you go to the basic beliefs of the Republican party, keeping government out of your life, why can't that include marriage?

There has been a call to boycott the June 25th Democratic National Committee LGBT Leadership Council fund raising dinner at Mandarin Oriental Hotel in Washington, DC. Maybe it's time we stop blindly funding the Democrats and actually expect results. We must hold them accountable. I agree with Meghan McCain - the Democratic party is really safer right now than the Republican party. I agree we are accepted by more Democrats than Republicans. And more Dems are willing to take our money and "support" our issues. But I'm changing the definition of support. I don't want it to be "yes I wish you could have equal rights." I want it to be "I did this, this, and this to get you your equal rights." Then I will give my money to the Democratic party again.

President Obama and the other leaders in the party, this is not 1993. We have seen California voters take rights away from us. We will not sit idly by and wait for things to happen to us. We will demand and make change and you will help us - or you will lose us. I believe this because I think there are more Meghan McCain's out there. One thing we have seen is the Republicans want to keep their money flowing. Just look at all the abstinence only programs and the countless other things the religious right were able to get in the last 8 years. The Republicans aren't going to lose that money as long as they stay Pro-Life.

Wouldn't it be something if the Meghan McCain Republicans got more done for the gay community that the Democrats have.

  1. I have read a lot of what Meghan McCain has written over at The Daily Beast and I can agree with some of what she has to say--Some. She's a young woman completely immersed in politics, although I question if she is so interested in and has been carving her own political niche because she has merely been brought up with politics and moreso, the Republican party. Whatever the case may be, she is the perfect spokesperson for the Republican party to get more young people interested in the party which can be good and bad at the same time. When we hear Meghan McCain speak about her political beliefs or we read what she has to say, it's easy for us to agree with a lot of what she's saying, but she has been hyping up the Republican party for something that it is not. While she happens to hold onto some Republican points of view, she is a minority in the Republican party. If more Republicans held certain viewpoints that she has, perhaps it would be a more appealing party, but at the moment, she's a woman with fame because of her father, who more and more people are becoming interested in because she is giving being a Republican a fresher face and a fresher, new look on several issues. Several issues that the majority of Republican leaders do not hold themselves.
