(GOP chairman) Limbaugh to Specter: Please take McCain with you
Limbaugh to Specter: Please take McCain with you

Meghan McCain responds:

UPDATE: Late Tuesday afternoon, Meghan McCain fired back on Twitter. "RED TIL I'M DEAD BABY!!! I love the republican party enough to give it constructive criticism, I love my party and sure as hell not leavin!"

Power struggle within a pathethic and dying party for head pallbearer rights.

Evidently, Specter's exit left skid marks in the GOP's camp:

Specter is the first senator elected as a Republican to switch directly to the Democratic Party.

1. "We republicons don't want anything to do with honorable veterans." - Rush DraftDodger Limbaugh
Edited on Tue Apr-28-09 07:05 PM by SpiralHawk
"We could totally get behind Commander AWOL Bush, and VP Dickie 'Five-Military-Deferments' Cheney, and other notable republicon draft dodgers like Newtie, and Trent Lott. Tom Delay, Boehner Boy, and Sean Hannity, Bill O'Reilly, Glenn Beck, and me. But we don't want anything to do with 'leaders' who actually served America. Sneer. Smirk."

- Rush 'Ass-Pimple Deferment' Limbaugh (R - Chickenhawk)

4. Looking at his website, he did not. His father did in WWI and was wounded
in France. The Argonne Forest. That's where the big fight in the movie "Sgt. York" with Gary Cooper took place.

14. And of course, McCain served
I think it is SHAME and Embarassment at their own Chickenhawkery that causes the Vast Phalanx of Republicon Chickenhawk 'leaders' to diss our sons and daughters in uniform, and our veterans.

To me, it is one of the vilest Republicon traits of hypocrisy.

5. While I sort of like Meghan McCain, she is not of any political value except for
giving laura ingraham a fit so she can stay a republican.

7. She says she doesn't understand economics, and she disagrees with the Republicans on social issues
So why exactly is she a Republican?

9. Exactly.... she's very confused...lol
She also said she's pro-life, yet only minutes later when talking about the morning-after pill said she firmly believes it should be available and should be the woman's CHOICE.

I swear, they don't get the word "choice." It doesn't mean you automatically choose abortion, morning-after pill, etc.

10. If rush limpbaugh says it then it must be
a bad idea..meghan needs to stay and call out the asshole.

I thought it was John that was being talked about but I guess he's not relevant anymore.

12. I think Meghan is approaching her party's problems in the correct way.
Problem is, her party is too stupid to comprehend this factoid.

Kinda feel for the kid.
