Meghan McCain is creeped out!

Meghan McCain, John McCain’s eldest daughter, co-hosted the View yesterday.  Apparently Carl Rove is following her on Twitter, and she is completely creeped out by that. Meghan is desperately trying to revitalize the Republican party into one that is more inclusive and has a fresh new attitude. She is outspokenly supportive of same-sex marriage and is taking a lot of heat for doing so.  She asked on the View, “Does Rove really think he is suddenly going to be cool because he is using Twitter?” She also said, 83% of younger voters are Democratic.

I agree with Meghan, and I would love it if Republican leadership to follow her advice. If the Republican party wants to be relevant in the future they need to be an inclusive party and not the anti-gay party.  The anti equality movement has already lost.  It is just a matter of time — perhaps a few years — when a strong majority of Americans are supportive of full equality and will not support candidates that are not.

The Republican party does not seem to get it though. The so-called leaders of the party — or at least the leadership the party is trying to portray –  are the same tired old windbags, Rush Limbaugh, Carl Rove, Dick Cheney, and Newt Gingrich. If those old fools aren’t a prescription for failure I don’t know who is.
