Well, that's one vote for Meghan McCain for Republican Party chairman. Too bad it's from a radical feminist columnist and blogger who insists that abortion is a "good decision" in the midst of a recession.
That's right, US News & World Report contributing editor Bonnie Erbe hacked out a short blog yesterday -- appropriately on 4/20, as if to answer the question, "What exactly is she smoking?" -- in which she praises the Daily Beast columnist and daughter of the Arizona Sen. John McCain as the future of the GOP:
Although Meghan McCain can sometimes come off a bit, shall we say, different, she gave a speech at the Log Cabin Republicans meeting this weekend that shows she has a brain and represents the views of lots and lots of young people and young members of the GOP.
[...]
In fact, she shows so much intelligence about where the GOP is or should be heading, at least in terms of what she mentioned in her speech, she should be the future leader of the party, not Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin or party chief Michael Steele.
Perhaps Erbe will write a follow-up blog imagining Bristol Palin serving as Meghan McCain's vice-chairman or the RNC treasurer. After all, Erbe has hailed Bristol as "display[ing] a lot more personal maturity and decision-making ability than her mother," Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin.

What I don't understand is
April 21, 2009 - 19:13 ET by motherbeltAS usual, we have liberals prescribing where the Republican party "should be heading" which, of course, is in the direction of the Democratic party.
What I don't understand is why Erbe and her "progressive" friends want that for Republicans.
It's not like any of them would ever vote for a Republican if they did.
Anyone, including Ms. McCain, who thinks that they can bleed off any Democrats or "moderates" (another name for Democrats, by the way) by imitating Democrats, has grapes for brains.

If brain's were gasoline, McCain and Erbe together, wouldn't have enough to propel a flea's motorcycle around a raindrop.

Nope. Dick Cheney or Karl Rove, though I really like Zell.

We have a lib abortion demon crack-whore saying that the leader of the republicans should be a lib-lite heterophob airhead spawn of a lib-lite RINO.
That ditz does NOT represent the views of young conservatives. The sheer fact that she goes around bashing real conservatives and sucking up to gays shows she does not have the brains to lead anything. I hope she follows her father into obscurity, or at least somewhere hotter than Arizona.
obama's notion of bi-partisanship is telling conservatives to shut up and do what he wants.

A "Should-Be Party Leader" would've released a statement
April 21, 2009 - 19:07 ET by Teddyabout the Miss California-Perez Hilton controversy by now, and less than a day after She'd made the comment that "Old School Republicans Are Scared Sh@tless Of The Future!", and that we should also support gay marriage.
But Meghan doesn't have an Axelrod to tell her what to think and say Now? Hence, the faint sound of crickets coming from her camp. So try again, Bonnie.
You wait: It won't matter what any conservative or Republican..
April 21, 2009 - 19:50 ET by CKA in Red State USA...says.
This twit has now been installed as the "new face" of the Republican Party and that's that.
Interestingly, that face or at least that face's owner resembles the south end of a northbound horse.
Or, if I may, the rearend of the Democrat Party symbol.
But, wait, that might be a hammer and cycle now, right?
No more McCains
April 21, 2009 - 21:00 ET by DolphieMeghan McCain is not a conservative, she is not a republican for that matter.
She does _not_ represent us in the least and is sailing on the coattails of her father's 5 minutes of glory.
Hopefully, McCain himself has figured out we do NOT want compromise or halfway activities on the part of our leaders. We want Leaders who LISTEN and HEAR rather than listening to the squeaky wheels of the libs or the other bloated, greedy politicians. If we wanted a Democrat leader, we would vote Democrat.
Meghan is a hateful little twit who bashed people to make herself popular with the liberal left. Anyone who is a sellout like that is not Leadership material.
As a previous poster said - Oh no you don't. You liberal loons will not saddle us with another McCain.
No More McCains! No More Clintons! No More Bushes
April 21, 2009 - 21:18 ET by jefflebowskiThe Tea Party movement will not let the MSM saddle us with another RINO McPain.

April 21, 2009 - 22:06 ET by jefflebowskiWe had 300 in Dallas at the first tea party. Last week, we had 5,000. We are planning on 15-20k for the Independence Day Tea Party. The Tea Party movement is now a force. The sleeping conservative giant is now awake and hungry. We have had enough with the direction of government and are going to replace liberals and RINOs with conservatives.

Yep...here are the numbers...

I hope this keeps up with force until the mid-terms, and then the 2012 Prez election if need be....and I think it will be in the need be category.
Btw...I'll swing over to your site in a bit and catch up with the latest since I left. ;-)
