No doubt, I would strongly disagree with Meghan McCain on a host of major policy issues. She’s a Republican and I'm an Independent with moderate/conservative leanings. BTW: I do NOT recognize "true" Conservatism within the Republican party. I recognize Republicanism, christianism, neoCONservatism and Corporatism. “Conservatism”??? Naah. Not so much. But setting that aside:Meghan McCain appears to be an intelligent and SANE woman_ two qualities that clearly puts her at odds with most members of her own party aka “the base”.And true-to-form, the GOP "base” wasted no time in labeling her a “RINO” _and worse, "an undercover Democrat operative”. They’ve made it clear that Meghan and “her kind” should just "leave the party."What does it say about the sorry state of affairs within the GOP when the most reasonable and bravest person, willing to speak Truth to “the Party”, is a 20 something y/o young lady, fresh out of college with NO real political experience who “the base” would like to see driven out of the party?Pitiful. Just. Pitiful.Thomas E. Mann, Senior Fellow, Governance Studies, Brookings:“In my forty years of watching American politics in Washington, I have never seen an out party so bent on self-destruction”.
