the new face of the republican party

Meghan McCain, daughter of Senator John McCain, is trying to revamp the republican party. I think she is absolutely right for wanting to do so. As someone who leans more toward the republican side I think she is brave for wanting to break the stereotypes of Republicans. As a party, overall it is not a diverse party at all.

Meghan was on the hit talkshow The View just a couple days ago and she was saying how she was pro-gay rights/marriage. This is something I agree with! However, the republican party tends to not share the same views. Like Meghan I am also anti-abortion. Meghan and my generation are very progressive thinkers. We like change.We want change. We welcome change and we embrace change.

I think people like Dick Cheney need to sit down and shut up. They had their time. Telling Meghan to get the hell out of politics is like telling everyone who holds similar view points to get the hell out of politics as well. We are the future, Dick Cheney. So go back to doing whatever it is that you did during your vice presidency which is basically nothing.

An update on Meghan McCain: May 21st on the Tyra Show.

Meghan McCain was on the tyra show today and she was talking about positive body image. She is not the skinniest girl and she embraces that. I think Meghan is beautiful. As someone who struggles with my body image, I admire and respect Meghan for saying "kiss my fat ass" on national t.v. to women like Ann Coultier who attacked Meghan's body image because she is not as conservative as Ann. Well Ann you are being ridiculous because Meghan challenged your view points and you turned around and challenged her weight???? Come on people that just does not make sense.

You go Meghan McCain!! I say lets revamp the Republican party together!
