Leave Meghan McCain Alone!
I hear there will be a protest for the “protection of marriage” Thursday at George Washington University because Meghan McCain is speaking there, and she’s for equal rights for gays.
The GOP cracks me up. The most pleasant Republican I can think of is Meghan McCain, she’s their best bet for winning over younger Americans, and instead of kissing her bodacious ass as they should, they protest her, mock her, call her fat (see my post “Laura Ingraham: Quit Talking about Our Bodies) . . . that’s a party that should fire their bouncers and hire new ones who have a better concept of what kind of people to let in.
For years, I was told that all conservatism means is “less government.” I heard it everywhere: my dad, my brother, a guy I (very) briefly dated. “Less government” should mean that conservatives wouldn’t think that government should be concerned about sex, marriage, or whatever. Newsflash: Liberals and progressives are the ones who believe in protecting life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. I like that Meghan McCain’s presence is a near-constant reminder of the hypocrisy and overall suckiness of the GOP, but I do wish she’d switch teams. I’d take her out for cosmos.

Gay rights issues were the start of my move to the left back in the 90s. Then you start to see the other layers of hypocrisy that you point out with regards to supposed limited government.
I have a feeling the only reason she’s stuck with the GOP is because of her dad.

This is what really annoys me about Republicans. They claim to be conservatives and want less government, but it seems these days all they want is less government helping people and more government controlling what people can and can’t do or more government killing our soldiers or other countries’ civilians.
I’m a liberal progressive all the way, but I can at least respect true conservatives. More government that helps > less government > more government that hurts.
