Meghan McCain Calls O'Donnell 'Nut Job'

[DainBramaged]

Source: FOX news

Meghan McCain called Delaware Senate candidate Christine O'Donnell a "nut job," saying Sunday that the Republican nominee has made a "mockery" of political campaigns.

The daughter of 2008 Republican presidential nominee Sen. John McCain is known for going against the party grain in her public appearances. She openly criticizes the Tea Party movement in her new book.

Asked about the closely watched Delaware race, McCain said Sunday that O'Donnell's lack of experience sends a troubling signal about the direction of politics.

"My problem is that no matter what, Christine O'Donnell is making a mockery of running for public office," McCain said on ABC's "This Week." "She has no real history, no real success in any kind of business and what that says to my generation is one day you can just wake up and run for Senate no matter how (little) experience you have.

"And it scares me for a lot of reasons. And I just know in my group of friends, it just turns people off, because she's seen as a nut job," McCain said.

9. Low blow

Oh come on she's not that overweight, the idea that you have to conform to lookism standards as a #1 priority gave us Palin and O'Donnell. Face it if they were physically ugly they would not have ever been nominated for their respective campaigns and to Meghan's credit, she is not running for office, just stating her opinion.

24. I hit Burglar King myself the other day for a couple

I look fabulous!


:rofl:

[Odin2005]

27. I think she's quite attractive, actually.

She certainly looks a lot more attractive than the nearly anorexic celebs in the media.

3. Amazing that conservative are able to recognize themself, but not realize they are all identical

[elleng]

6. WE need to recognize: They are NOT all identical,

but if we treat them as if they are, we lose BIG.

[Demit]

8. Really. On both points.

Meghan McC might be mainly an attention hound, drafting in dad's wake, but I appreciate her calling a spade a spade.

I never had a problem talking ideas with Republicans twenty years ago. It used to be a conversation between two philosophies. I have the feeling that MM is a throwback to those times. Unlike her pandering father, who these days looks to see which way the wind blows before articulating his 'principles'.

[AndrewP]

36. I know what you mean

I remember having long conversations with Republicans in the late 80's and most of the 90's. We disagreed on most everything, but it felt more like a different value system at that point.

Now it just feels like dealing with some serious nut jobs incapable of even having an intelligent conversation.

4. Breaking News: from the Takes One to Know One file

Oh jeez - Republicon projection & self-recognition...

[emulatorloo]

7. Megan McCain is not a nutjob. She's pretty rational.

[K8-EEE]

10. She's not running for office nt

[emulatorloo]

12. Last I heard you don't have to run for office to comment on candiates

If we aren't allowed to do that we had best shut down DU!

[K8-EEE]

15. No I agree I was defending her

From people saying she was the same as O'Donnell....qualifications for running for Senate and commenting on people running for Senate are different is all I meant.

[emulatorloo]

17. OK, got it!

[madinmaryland]

31. Yeah. The only thing left on DU would be Sports and the Lounge.

:D

I forgot the pets and cooking forums, also.

[madinmaryland]

32. Duplication post.

[SpiralHawk]

13. Anyone who can support the corrupt RepubliCorporate agenda at this stage

-- whether they fit the so-called 'rational' criteria or not -- has devolved to the nutjob class and is running their 'logic' on a fuel of fear, greed, or hate.

[ProudToBeBlueInRhody]

35. Wait, are you taking about Blanche Lincoln or Ben Nelson?

Meaghan seems to be more in line with Democrats than many of "our own" are.

[madrchsod]

5. the only republican that actually dares to tell the truth

sort of refreshing for a change.

[K8-EEE]

11. Agreed and one of the few who stick up for gay rights

She's more enthusiastic about gay marriage than any straight Dem pundit I can think of.

[girl gone mad]

14. She has a firm grasp of the obvious.

[K8-EEE]

16. For a Republican, that's quite unusual. nt

[jtrockville]

18. She also said Obama administration policies created the teabaggers

Meanwhile, the teabaggers started their opposition before the Obama administration had a chance to implement anything. Frankly, I'm not impressed with Ms. McCain.

[bullwinkle428]

21. I caught that part too - she said Biden should have taken responsibility

for the spending policies that created the whole teabagger movement! :crazy:

She's got some nerve talking so big on GLBT rights issues, when her own father is almost single-handedly preventing the repeal of DADT...

26. thanks

[No Elephants]

20. Not sure if I want Republicans who seem rational, moderate and inclusive.

(And didn't her daddy sound that way not too long ago?)


I like ones who say "I'm not a witch." Ones who send on the fence voters running....left.

[prolesunited]

23. She really is a Dem at heart

Maybe when the party is hateful enough to her, she'll come home to where she belongs.

[customerserviceguy]

25. This is just a spat between the old establishment Republicons

and the tea partiers. The former group is scared to death that the latter group is going to take over their party, and they are quite rational in that fear.

O'Donnell will wear this like a badge of honor. Even after she loses.

[Imagevision]

28. Too bad most repugs ween't like Megan! (go sweetie!)

[barb162]

29. I don't know if she's a nutjob though it gets the point across.

I find her thinking convoluted and screwed up beyond all belief. When someone asks her a question, she either can't answer or she changes the topic. Plus she confuses everything. It's weird listening to her. I wish the next time she gives an oblique answer, the questioner would say: Please ANSWER The Question

[rainlillie]

30. Now if she would just call Palin out the same way.

[WorseBeforeBetter]

37. I think she has -- something about Sister Sarah bringing "drama and panic"...

to the 2008 campaign. IIR, she referred to her as a "time bomb."

[DainBramaged]

33. Hooray this isn't news!!!

:eyes:

[Historic NY]

34. She is experienced at getting campaign donations to live off of...all those suckers.
