"MSNBC News Live" host Contessa Brewer on Monday speculated as to whether the liberal-leaning Meghan McCain could become "the voice of the Republican Party." Brewer, who was talking to Washington Times reporter Christina Bellantoni about the daughter of the 2008 GOP presidential nominee, ignored the fact that Ms. McCain has admitted she supported Democrats John Kerry in 2004 and Al Gore in 2000. [audio available here]
Instead, referencing the 24-year-old blogger's speech to the Log Cabin Republicans on Saturday, Brewer queried, "...Is it time for the Republican Party to be more inclusive of people from all different orientations?" She then asked Bellantoni, "...We talk about Limbaugh, Michael Steele, Sarah Palin, is it possible Meghan McCain becomes the voice of the Republican Party?" How bizarre is it that Brewer was asking if a woman who supported Gore and Kerry, and spoke to an organization of gay Republicans that refused to endorse George W. Bush in 2004, will one day lead the GOP? (In her latest Daily Beast blog, McCain attacked the "creepy" Karl Rove.)
At one point, Brewer theorized, "When Meghan McCain...says this is the party of old ideas and these guys are scared out of their wits about what the future of the Republican Party holds, does that resonate within the conservative crowd?" At the very least, Brewer should have acknowledged the liberal voting record of Ms. McCain and provided some skepticism about this young woman's potential as a leader of the GOP.
A transcript of the April 20 segment, which aired at 10:17am, follows:
CONTESSA BREWER: You know, Meghan McCain says the party her father led through last year's election is divided between the past and the future. Now, she insists she is still a proud member of the GOP. But, Meghan says it's members can no longer be the parties of old ideals.
MEGHAN MCCAIN (Speech to Log Cabin Republicans): Most of our nation wants our nation to succeed. Number two, most people are ready to move on to the future, not live in the past. And number three, most of the old school Republicans are scared [bleep] of that future.
BREWER: Christina Bellantoni is a White House correspondent for the Washington Times. When Meghan McCain, who is in her early twenties and has made a lot of news for some of the non-political cat fights, recently, that she's been in, um, when she says this is the party of old ideas and these guys are scared out of their wits about what the future of the Republican Party holds, does that resonate within the conservative crowd?
CHRISTINA BELLANTONI (Washington Times): Well, whether or not it resonates within conservatives is to be determined yet, but I think this is more of a generational thing. I mean, she's using young words, words like old school. Words like we've got to be the cool party again. And you've heard, even Michael Steele use those same words, the chairman of the Republican Party. So, I think that they recognize, in addition to the fact that the Republican Party is in danger of becoming a regional party, they did not attract young people in the last election. Guess who did? President Barack Obama.
BREWER: All right. Let me play something else that she said in the process of giving this speech.
MCCAIN: I believe government should always be efficient and accountable. I have lots and lots of gay friends and, yes, I am a Republican.
BREWER: We know that there are Log Cabin Republicans, but is it time for the Republican Party to be more inclusive of people from all different orientations?
BELLANTONI: Well, I think that is where a lot of Republicans are moving towards. They've always claimed that they are a big tent party. You know, Log Cabin Republicans have always had a place, but I think some of them felt a little marginalized. This is why you're hearing Meghan McCain give this talk. This is why Steve Schmidt said last week, "We cannot be in danger of becoming a party just revolving around social issues. So, I think that they kind of learned this message from Barack Obama's campaign that led him to become president. And they're trying to reach out to more people. They're trying to decide, really, what kind of a party they are going to be. And I think we have some time before they need to figure it out. But, you're going to hear all these players start to determine which direction the party is heading.
BREWER: Hey, Christina, we talk about Limbaugh, Michael Steele, Sarah Palin, is it possible Meghan McCain becomes the voice of the Republican Party?
BELLANTONI: Uh, well, that would certainly help her book sales. She does have a book coming up. So, that is not an accident, either, that you're hearing more from her.
BREWER: Yeah.
BELLANTONI: Because, the more people know her and don't think of her, as, you know, her 72-year-old father's daughter, that think of her as a young, fresh face with Republican ideas, that will help her.

But, then again, the MSM chose her old man to be the Republican nominee so I guess she may be appointed by them too.
I think you are right.

It speaks to Meghan wanting
April 21, 2009 - 12:02 ET by MozillaIt speaks to Meghan wanting to look good in the eyes of the View, the msm, liberals, and other Rinos and moderate democrats. Not what we want. We want a person who can stand up for their ideals and not bow down to others under pressure. Elisabeth Hasselbeck is like that. Lizzy was talking a good game during the campaign and when Bill O and Huckabee and Romney come on as guests, but as soon as they leave she is apologizing. See how she complimented Maddow? See how she was happy over Obama's win day after the election? See how she trashed Ann Coulter when she was on? See how despite voting for McCain she was hard on him and nowhere near as harsh to Obama? She is Meghan McCain's twin basically. Elisabeth let us down more than Meghan has. If you or I were on the view...we wouldn't cave into what they want.

Then again it is the MSM pushing a Repub/Conserv basher as the "voice" of the GOP. Anything to portray the folks center-right as the extremists.

It irritates me to no end that we had SO MANY GOOD CONSERVATIVES running in the Republican Primary and this is who the MSM decided we should have!
May God be merciful and let these lying behemoths fall by the wayside, one by one! Preferably before they can destroy our country!
And may the Arizona voters have an opportunity to vote this man out of office, once and for all! We need TRUE CONSERVATIVES!!!

The Media Defines the Players
April 20, 2009 - 14:41 ET by JustAlAs I have previously posted, the media shapes the political discussion in the US by calling a liberal a conservative, a conservative an extremist and an extreme liberal a progressive.
If the GOP continues the "Big Tent" approach to win elections rather than stand on principals they will have neither victory nor principals. In my opinion Republicans need to clean house. If you are only moderate about liberty then you should be a Democrat. If you are only moderate in placing America's interests first, you should be a Democrat. And GOP legislators need to finally admit that the term "bipartisan" is Democrat for "our way or no way."
The Republican party needs to define itself, boldly, publicly, and often, or the leftist media will do it for them.
Come on guys, it's time to grow some and show some.

What the hell does this privledged little brat know about everyday conservatives. She hasn't worked an honest day in her life, or know what's it's like to raise a family, scraping by.

Duh!
April 20, 2009 - 17:45 ET by GalvanicAnother fine example of shallow political analysis by a cable outfit that is rapidly slipping behind the Cartoon Network with regards to relevance and accuracy.
Princess McCain is on a book promotion tour whether she mentions the book or not. She was born into great wealth on her mother's side of the family (Mom inherited daddy's multi-million dollar beer distributorship), and like we've seen with so many kids who never had to work a day in their lives, they carry an aire of entitlement and faux-celebrity about them.
So, rich girl writes book about all her experiences. Wanna read it? You're welcome to it.

April 20, 2009 - 15:29 ET by Tom in NCMea Culpa McCain is too dumb to realize that if Conservatives wanted her brand of republicanism her father would have won the election, he was the reason that a lot of conservatives simply did not vote in 2008
Uh, Like Wow!
April 20, 2009 - 15:34 ET by BlondeUh, yeah, like Meghan is so like wow, hip and current and all that, of course she's the new face of the Republican party.
The only good thing I can say about Ms. McCain is she is marginally more articulate than Caroline Kennedy.
Just when I thought the MsM couldn't possibly sink any lower, they've once again exceeded my expectations.
The whole thing would be hysterically funny if it weren't so galactically stupid.
Contessa, you go girl! With probing analysis like that, you'll make the MRC Dishonors for sure, for sure.

April 20, 2009 - 16:03 ET by rexdraconimWith Ms. McCain and Mr. McCain you have a blend of ego, entitlement (my turn) and the need for attention.
They both seem to want the Leftist press to love them, at any cost. They also are both terrible public speakers and cannot handle or managed an interview. Have you ever listened to Mr. McCain on C-Span? It does wonders for the insomnia....if you can stop vomiting long enough to pass out.
She might speak for Republicans, her father's brand of Republican, but that doesn't mean she will ever speak for Conservatives. Neither did, does, or will her father.
Her father's Brand, as the Vet would put it, is tired. And useless. And its past its expiration date. Her Brand will soon be on clearance.
Kind of like those Obama flavored lollipops.

That and he he stayed with the Vietnam thing too long, plus he forgot to attach meaningless phrases like, "yes we can" and "hope & change" to appeal to the uninformed lemmings who are as happy as lobotomized parrots as they march toward great heights.

Miss California's gay marriage answer angers Miss USA Judge
April 20, 2009 - 16:20 ET by sevans1956Maybe Mehgan should run for Miss USA. They would love her there.
Miss USA 2009 runner-up Carrie Prejean of California is making headlines for actually having an opinion beyond "world peace is a good thing." Miss California's answer to judge (and gossip provocateur) Perez Hilton's question about legalizing gay marriage started out rather politic but soon veered into tangible conviction: "We live in a land where you can choose same-sex marriage or opposite marriage. And you know what, I think in my country, in my family, I think that I believe that a marriage should be between a man and a woman. No offense to anybody out there, but that's how I was raised."
Hilton responded via his own video blog right after the show, saying "she gave the worst answer in pageant history." He says that anyone with half a brain should have answered that each state should decide for themselves. A Miss USA shouldn't alienate anyone, he says, she should inspire and unite. Hilton did later apologize for calling a "dumb b----," and said he's like to take her out for a cup of coffee.
Miss U.S.A. answer could have been

Well she's allready
April 20, 2009 - 17:07 ET by BlazerWell she's allready admitted that her circle of friend's are primarily liberal, so I'm just curious as to how she's able to capture the conservative zeitgeist and frame of mind in all of this
She's propping her self up as a thermometer able to take the temperature of conservatism. She's a dinner party or blue blood conservative with no principles in the mold of daddy. Everything she's learned about conservatism probably came from The Country Club the McCain's are member's of.
Not that there' a damn thing wrong with having money mind you, but just who are the everyday regular conservatives, Ms. McCain associates with?
This vaccuos dingbat doesn't have the sense enough to realize that the only time the MSM will get all giggly and giddy over you if your a so called conservative, is when your attacking other conservatives. She's nothing but a useful idiot for them, and she's too clueless to realize it.
Now we all know John McCain's anger and disdain for true conservatives is legendary. Perhap's he's sicking his dim-bulb of a daughter on us in revenge for not voting him to The Whitehouse.

April 20, 2009 - 17:31 ET by c5thenThe past Nov.elections, where an unknown junior politician was elected to the President of the US, is proof of that. But only if the people let them.
They will try and make the "voice of the GOP" be whomever they think will further their liberal cause. However, there are a significant number of conservatives who care nothing for one party or the other and will never again be duped by the MSM.
The Tea Parties are an indication of that. The GOP may become the moderate populist party and another party will spring up that can be the home of true conservatism, not the fake lip action that half the GOP give it.
Hey, I got the wrong "CHANGE"!

Shite for brains to-boot...
...and whoever this Washington Times reporter is she at least got one thing right..she has a big bad book coming out that the whole nation is just waiting to read...
Give me a break....only the left can pull this crap off all the time...it is getting so old.

Yes, she will. And here's how.
April 20, 2009 - 18:50 ET by CKA in Red State USAThe advocacy/adversary media have found a useful idiot in Ms. McCain.
So the ASS -- advocacy/slobbering/socialist -- media will simply install her as the head and ignore any protestations to the contrary.
Won't be the first time they've engaged in full-blown cognitive dissonance. Won't be the last, either.
She's too stupid to understand what's going on.
There's hope, though: Just as the attacks on Rush essentially have disappeared and the liberals' and leftists' attempts failed to in labeling him the head of the Republican Party, perhaps just through the sheer adolescent silliness of the ASS media hyping McCain, that, too, will pass.
Meanwhile, I'm sure her ego will inflate to dangerous proportions, given that she's apparently got lots of that but little intellectual horsepower.
She's the perfect Obamabot.
Who knows? Maybe Obama will have her on his staff as liaison to the "new" Republican Party?

That's funny. Thanks. :-)
April 20, 2009 - 19:46 ET by CKA in Red State USACan't resist this, though: Did she think there'd be pancakes or fruitcakes?
That's bad, I know. And someone will accuse me of being homophobic (I'm not: hey, even homosexuals call each other that, as well as queer).
Actually, there was a time in America that calling someone a fruitcake meant they were not right in their minds.
Same goes for fruity: being odd.
But it also means a homosexual and, sometimes, a homosexual man with feminine characteristics.
This is such a good laugh.
April 20, 2009 - 20:14 ET by eaglewingz08This is such a good laugh. But the jokes on Meghan. She is unfortunately a dimwit. She saw what happened to her father once he was Republican nominee for President and not the ever willing backstabber in the Congress, willing to cross aisles to the democraps, but not getting anything in return other than his name in the liberal media. They sold him out quicker than a heartbeat and did their best to destroy him and his running mate for the affrontary of daring to deny the Obamessiah's coronation. She too would meet the same fate, if she were actually a republican moderate or conservative. Does anyone here have any actual voting records as to how little Ms. Muffett is registered? I can't see that she would confine herself to only voting in primaries for candidates who are not liberal democraps, so I believe she is either registered as a democrap or is an Independent (meaning a progressive democrap who doesn't like the content of being labeled a progressive democrap).

April 20, 2009 - 20:28 ET by mostlymoderateMeghan McCain is a trojan-horse. If we open our arms to her in the G.O.P., she will knock us out of the game for eternity. I personally think John McCain already tried to do that with all his liberal fuzziness. Most of us didn't vote FOR John but instead AGAINST Barry Hussein Socialist Obama.

She has admitted that she backed Gore in 2000 and Kerry in 2004, so that should really give you some insight into little miss progressive conservatives mind.
She actually backed a guy who was slandering our troop's on Capitol Hill, attending and speaking at anti-war protest's with the likes of Jane Fonda and having secret meeting's with the enemy oversea's, while her dad was getting tortured daily in a North Vietnamese prison.
There a little perspective into Ms. Piggy's intellect and conviction.

Wouldn't surprise me.
She could be our version of Marshal Petain and the Republican Party our Vichy.
One of the 34% who thinks George W. Bush was a great President. One of the 61% who wants to bring back the stock and pillory (yep...approval for Congress now at 39%...do you believe that!?).
Meghan a GOP leader??? MSNBC wet dream
April 20, 2009 - 23:14 ET by bpjamOnly the douche bags at MSNBC are putting any faith, interest or attention to this pudgy little liberal pretending to be a republican.
Meghan McCain is only interesting to leftists who want to see the GOP totally destroyed. Meghan is too young and stupid to realize that she is only a pawn in their master plan to create a permanent Obama-ocracy.
Having to deal with JOHN McCain was devastating enough for the GOP and conservatives but now he leaves us with another stain on the carpet to clean up.....
ms. mccain
April 21, 2009 - 09:32 ET by east tennessee johnSo she voted for Gore in 2000 at the age of 16. Of course she did. She was a Democrat wasn't she? The voice of the GOP? Maybe its shrill voice.
Meghan McCain jumped the shark
April 21, 2009 - 11:14 ET by MozillaMeghan McCain jumped the shark with her comments on Twitter about being a bad first daughter had her father won last year. Plus when she trashed Ann Coulter and Laura Ingraham someone said on a Fox News show she voted for John Kerry in 2004. So she's a Rino. I get that Bush's performance wasn't well liked after a certain time by most of us conservatives. Bush started the bailouts and the backlash against him lead to Obama's rise. But, frankly the problem with Meghan and her Pops is that they don't stand for most of what we want. Yeah McCain said a line about generational theft, but only after losing the election and after supporting the first bailout and not doing anything to win. So McCain got what he deserved. He had Obama beat several times and let him win. The MSM and Bush's approval were hard to defeat, but John and Meghan McCain are not a voice for conservatives or even the future of the party. They are part of the problem. How dare she go after Ann Coulter, when Obama is pretty bad. She is being manipulated at times by people anyways.

April 21, 2009 - 13:13 ET by NonArabOmarLiberals are ignorant of the demographics of the right in general.
We are mostly men. We don't look to liberal/feminazi valley girls for leadership.
<sigh>
Right minded kind of people also aren't the type that like the idea of the "minority" imposing their will on the "majority."
Those in the "minority" in a party that touts the "majority" will not get the time of day. Liberals apply their own "bizzaro world logic" to the logical right.
