Not So Pure Meghan McCain

Generally I don’t pay attention to Meghan McCain. Currently she is about as relevant as Cindy Sheehan. Well, maybe she is not as relevant as Cindy Sheehan. Today, however, Meghan kinda stuck her foot into it with her responses to a Republican “purity” test. I don’t put much stock into these things, but her responses, and what she thinks enables her to claim to be a “pure” Republican are, well, entertaining.

Meghan claims that she is pure Republican on 8 out of 10 points by claiming that one “hell no” and two “half nos” equals a total of two nos. First off, there is no such thing as half-a-no. It is either “yes, I agree” or “no, I don’t agree”. Further, on one question, regarding Universal Healthcare, she claims to answer yes, she opposes such, but then goes on to add an exception of “until we figure out how are we going to pay for it”, making it a no, because what she just stated means that if there is a way to pay for it, then “hell yeah, I support it!” Actual tally, six yeses and four nos. If there is any validity to this “purity” test, then Meghan, fails to be a “pure” Republican.

For the record, about the only one I disagree with is the one concerning how to deal with Iran and North Korea. I don’t think containment is going to do the job, especially since North Korea now has nukes (thank you very much, Clinton Administration) and Iran will soon be able to provide weapons grade radioactives to terrorists (thank you very much, Carter Administration). Containment, under these circumstances, isn’t going to cut it. It may be all we have to work with right now, but once we see mushroom clouds over New York City or Tokyo, maybe people in power will figure out that containment of a hostile nations isn’t feasible.
