I found this on a BSNF boxcar this week, it reminded me of all the fireworks that are going on in the GOP between Megan McCain and coulter & ingram. Ms. McCain has a blog on "the Daily Beast" (a political and current events blog website). A very interesting website and worth a browse everyday. Anyway Ms. McCain voiced her opinions on what the republican party needs to do to expand its tent so it doesn't get spanked like it has in the past two elections (2006 & even worse 2008). She wrote about the party trying to come to the center or at least closer to the center on social issues like most of the country has. Especially on gay marriage and a woman's choice, these issues have really change with the newer generations. She also commented on how a. coulter (I like to call her she-who-shall-not-be-named) was bad for the GOP because of her racist and bigoted speech. She-who-shall-not-be-named never responded to Ms. McCain's blog, which is out of character for her, but ingram decided to defend her. She also decided to take the low road as usual and attacked Ms. McCain for not her ideas, but her intelligence and size/weight. This is the usual tactic for these extremist right wing windbags, most of their ideas don't hold up so they attack the person. These are the tactics of a movement that is bankrupt of ideas and angry that everyone sees it now. So I am sure the more Ms. McCain points out the hard things that need to be done to put that party back into contention, the more the rush's, ingram's, ect. will take the low road and attack people's look and personalities, not debate the issues.
