Meghan McCain Rails Against Tea Parties
ABC News' Huma Khan reports: Meghan McCain, the daughter of former GOP presidential candidate Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., and a self-described “progressive Republican,” today assailed the tea party movement.
Sitting in as co-host on “The View” today, McCain said she has ideological differences with the movement.
She specifically took aim at remarks by former Congressman Tom Tancredo, who suggested that people who voted for President Obama could not pass a basic civics literacy test.
“People who would not even spell the word vote or say it in English put a committed socialist ideologue in the White House... named Barack Hussein Obama," Tancredo said last week as he kicked off the Tea Party convention in Nashville, Tenn. He also ripped Sen. McCain for being a repeat of "Bush 1 and Bush 2." Read more ...

M.McCain simply wants her 15 minutes of fame off her Dad running for president. Now she thinks she can become a celebrity, and make a few bucks off it. Hey Meghan your Dad lost!!! just for all the stuff you're spouting off about. We don't want progressives period!!!!!!!!
Fraggin
Like, who cares?
Point Blank
And she wonders why she can't get a date. She ranks right up there with Patty and Ron Reagan Jr for the most disappointing children of successful politicians.
Novemberhotel
Maybe you nutbags can make an "Alien Sheep" ad about her!
polly
Do we care what she thinks??? I don't any more then any other child of a politician.

Keep opening your mouth stupid, you are digging his grave.

Ka-Ching says Mr. Armey more money for him. what a great money making scam...line up for the T-shirts and pre-made homemade signs...only $50.....LOL
Apostyl
People like her are the reason I regret giving 16 years of my life and the bulk of my sanity and all my youth to the military .
Beinformed
By the way, is "The View" the best that this network can do to fill this time slot? Are Whoopie and Joy playing themselves or playing 2 of the angriest dumb women on tv?
RabidRightWingExtremeVotingAmerican
yeeeeehaaaaa! I love it. Rock on Tea Partiers!
DaleMac
What we have here is three pigs and an old hag... and libs look to them for the truth..lol

Hobbes- hey, we tried a moderate rep... John Mccain.. that didn't work so well, I think we will give a conservative a try the next time and we WILL kick your liberal @ss....
Hobbes
Go ahead. Pick the most conservative candidate you can find. First, though, you might want to google "Barry Goldwater".
Hobbes
Go ahead, tea party. Attack moderate Republicans. Make sure you nominate someone so far right that Obama won't have to bother campaigning. Bunch o' nutbags!
pepperoni
This is true...I can be a pro-life Democrat, or a RINO Republican. Moderates/Independents swing the elections, like it or not.
Flame
She, like her father, is not a moderate Republican. They are progressives, no different than Obama.
Mike from Kansas
It isn’t about being right or left. It is about being for the people and upholding our Constitution. NONE of the progressive politicians in the White House, Senate or House or Representatives care about upholding the Constitution, nor do they care about properly representing the people that elected them to office. It is time for any Politian that is does not care or want to hold up the values of our great country to leave office and just disappear. ALL of the problems with our country are a direct result of Liberals and Progressives trying to move away from what made us great. Do you even know what the Tea Parties represent or do you just believe what you see on Liberal TV? Try doing a little research. If you are too lazy to do a little research, then don’t waste your time posting a comment pretending that you have a clue as to what you are talking about. You either care about our nation or you don’t.
Hobbes
I've been to a tea party. I know what they are about. I do not agree with them. I support the president. Too bad if you don't like it.
Novemberhotel
Why weren't you crying like this when your President unconstitutionally took us to war and did not pay for it? When he had to borrow money from Communist China to pay for it! Why weren't you teabagging then Mike?
Darth Dave
Like father, like daughter RHINO!
NewSonsofLiberty (Oathkeeper)
There is no such thing as a Progressive Republican!!! Thats an oxymoron if I ever saw one! If you say your Progressive, well my dear..your no Republican. Then again, look who raised you. Johnny probably describes himself the same way....in a non-election year. In 2010 though, he is a "fiscal Consevative"...yeah right, and im Wilford Brimley.
Flame
Beg to differ, there are many progressive Republicans, at least claiming to be Republicans. Their intent is to take over both parties and subvert the Constitutional Republic in which we live. Obama was very clear about "fundamentally transforming" America.
pepperoni
Yes, it's a subversive plot. The voices in my head told me...
PATRIOT ARMS
Think of all the people that the left has latched onto or attacked in their quest to destroy the Tea Party movement. She is just the latest. Every attempt is the left looking for a crutch to keep themselves from falling flat on their face. Won't work.

no surprise here her father didn't/doesn't get it yet either
The Jesuit
Poor dumb kid. She might be different if her father weren't a producer of political pablum.
Mtn. Snow
I watched this video of the THE VIEW program....these women are babbling idiots. Anybody can see that. Whoopee G. looks just plain stupid. They all talk like imbeciles. Maybe that is why Meghan feels at home.
HuskerVet
Like, who gives a damn what a Lib Valley Girl, like, has to, like, say??
winodrifter
Palin needs to get far away from all the McCain's as fast as possible. Supporting McCain will sink her ship like it did during the last campaign. Palin is backing a loosing cause.
freedombaby
She just needs to come out of the closet, already, and admit she is a conservative dem. The repub party will not be going her way, socially.
Anti-Lib
It would be nice to see Sarah Palin take her out back and whip the snot out of her. She's so obtuse she doesn't even get that the word "progressive" is absolute poison in the current political environment.
rise up people
I just don't like this girl. I didn't like her when she was on the air promoting her Dad and I like her even less today. She was born with silver spoon in mouth and has no idea what the tea party movement is about, because she has never had to work for a living and worry about providing for a family. Progressive Republican. More like looney liberal.
PATRIOT ARMS
Take her lefties, she's one of "you." And you can have daddy too. We do remember his stance on a number of issues.
PROUD ARMY MOM
Meghan McCain needs to shut her pie hole....She has the IQ of a tree!!!!! Didn't mean to insult trees!!!!!!!!!!!
Libertarian
WHO CARES!
Gan Gan
"Like father like daughter". Sara Palin made a bad judgement call when she agreed to help John Mc'Cain in his reelection campain. He is a progressive and is using Sara.
Sharon
Just because her name is McCain does not mean her remarks have any substance. If it were not for her dad, she would be virtually unknown anyway...think about it. Next subject.
carri
Who cares what she says? We all know she wants publicity. Just keep working to get rid of the RINO's and let her rant until she is hoarse.
Proudnow
Meghan is stating just what I've suggested all along. Children of Republican conservatives laugh behind the backs of their parents. They mock you all every day of their lives.
Sharon
Kid's are dumb too, arent they? At least until they start fending for themselves. THEN they learn the RIGHT way.
Lemure
Meagan, please shut up child. Nobody cares what you think. You are right, you don't identify with 40-50 year olds, but that is where the wisdom for immature, spoiled brats like you learn. What a putz John has raised.
Hedson
Progressive Republican = left-wing RINO. Megan is a loser like her father. I respect him for his military service and sacrifice, but he didn't even try to win the election. On another subject, why is there no comment box on the Murtha article????
CookieLou
We don't need another RINO to water down the GOP. Megan, why don't you look for a real job and do something worthwhile for a living?
Bell2ring
The name McCain is more connected with the left than the conservatives. She was probably assigned to watch McCain like Monroe was assigned to quiz the Kennedys (John and Robert)
awake and aware
Trying to make us into racists again, tsk tsk tsk.
I believe Tancredo was referring to voters that are here illegally and shouldn't be voting anyway. To liken them to African Americans in the 50's is stretching things a bit.
Why doesn't Meghan McCain just come out and call herself a democrat already?
Novemberhotel
I thought he was talking about Southerners. They can't read either!
Dinosjbe
He didn't say that at all and there is no reference to that until after the fact. Some say he was just race-bating the group
cooperscopy
Why doesn't she just go away...What gives her any cred to appear on these shows and it seems the only reason they want her is her opposition to the Tea Parties and Palin...And Barabara Walters, if you don't have the exact quote..don't pretend you know it.....Read: Sarah and Barack...Lessons in Media Bias.......at.....
