Why would anyone think we would be interested in what Meghan McCain has to say on anything?

[swayne]

I don't get it. Who cares and why have I seen her too many times (by accident) this week?

[abelenkpe]

1. She has a book coming out? nt

[swayne]

2. Why would anyone care that she wrote a book?

[abelenkpe]

23. Because she's a republican

who can carry on a sane and reasonable conversation. While we may not agree she is capable of having a conversation that doesn't become a hate filled screaming match and you have to admit that is rare these days.

That and she's nice looking.

[Life Long Dem]

33. Along with a million more nobodies

[Mike_Valentine]

29. I think most of the Kardashians have books as well...

Doesn't set a very high bar.

[Greybnk48]

3. I agree. WTF??

She's pretty, but I'm not particularly interested in her worldview. LOL!

[FrodosPet]

21. Yeah! Shut her up!

Let's get a list of people the press is allowed to quote together!

[obamanut2012]

4. I am

[stevenleser]

8. I am too. She is very important as a contrast. She is one of the few moderate Republicans left.

And contrasting what she says with the batshite crazy stuff coming out of the rest of the Republican party is pretty important and not reported on nearly enough.

[rurallib]

9. methinks she says some moderate words, backs the crazies

when it comes down to it.
At least that is the impression I have gotten.

[obamanut2012]

13. She ranges from somewhat liberal to very on social issues

I certainly don't agree with her on many things, but it is interesting to me to see what she has to say, especially if she becomes a GOP Congresswomen in a few years. It also wouldn't surprise me to see her become a Dem after she matures a bit.

I also appreciate her very vocal blasting of the Palins!

[swayne]

10. Meghan McCain is the "voice" of the moderate Republican?

Please.

[stevenleser]

12. Yes, she is, all two of them that are left. nt

[obamanut2012]

14. Yup

[Bandit]

22. Who do you think speaks for the "moderate" Republican?

I can think of no one even close to being a moderate in today's Republican Party with the possible exception of Meghan McCain...

[obamanut2012]

27. Maybe Olympia Snowe and Susan Collins

But Meghan McCain is to the left of them on most things.

[Bandit]

28. How do any of the votes they cast indicate moderation?

Talk is cheap. They say lots of things but when it came time to vote they towed the Party line...

[obamanut2012]

30. Not always

I don't get why you are arguing with me. They have been two of the most moderate GOP in the Senate.

[obamanut2012]

11. Exactly

She is quite liberal on most social issues, and very liberal on others (she even did a No H8 poster). Because of this and her age, it makes me wonder if she's at the vanguard of some new third party emergence, or if she will flip left on other things and become a full-fledged liberal. She also has been very critical of nutcakes in the GOP, including Sarah Palin, and also isn't afraid of publicly disagreeing with her father. The latest thing, of course, is that she thinks cannabis should be legalized, and not just medical cannabis.

5. the media is DESPERATE to have at least one attractive she-Repub to call on

who isn't bat scat crazy like the other 4

so she qualifies

[rfranklin]

6. She has entree because of her father...that's about it...

Not a bad position to be in if you want to make a few bucks without working too hard.

[onehandle]

7. Two reasons --->

[Egalitarian Thug]

15. Because she's rich and her daddy is famous and that is the only requirement

to be a "serious person" in Amercia today.

[OneTenthofOnePercent]

16. It's no different than listening to comedians or pop stars on politics.

I don't know why the media thinks that comedians, music/tv stars, spouses, etc... are all viable sources of reportable opinions for politics.

[Tsiyu]

17. She's as big a liar as the rest of them

She was on an NPR show yesterday, claiming the media (except for Fox News) has a "liberal bias." I almost laughed myself off the road.

Every study done of the major media proves that the overwhelming majority of political guests/commentators/politicians/radio talk hosts... hell, anyone featured on the news and newsy programs, are rightwing.

Everybody knows this. She knows this.

So she's as much a liar as the rest of her party. Sickening, psychopathic liars all.

[trumad]

18. What---Liz Cheney more your taste?

[FrodosPet]

19. No doubt

Isn't it a messed up world when other people are interested in things we are not interested in, and visa versa?



I'm not following. What is the point of this post?

[Nuclear Unicorn]

20. "Why would anyone think we would be interested in what Meghan McCain has to say on anything?"

Well, she thinks you should be interested and gosh darn it, that's good enough!

[snooper2]

24. Probably the secret people who notice how many views and replies threads on her get at DU

[sinkingfeeling]

25. Because we're all waiting with bated breath to hear from Bristol Palin?

[HopeHoops]

26. She's got a few more functional brain cells than Palin.

[dionysus]

31. she's one of the few non crazy, non evil republicans?

[jp11]

32. Blonde republican attractive woman daughter of a politician thus the rw/conservative/ side

dictate people want to see and hear from her and it is so.
