Meghan McCain wants Republicans to wake up or else she just might leave the party.
The Republican daughter of Sen John McCain, who famously blogged from her father's presidential campaign bus about fashion on the campaign trail, is saying the GOP's positions on social issues are outdated and irrelevant.
'I dont fit into the traditional Republican box that the 'wingnuts who have hijacked my party think all Republicans should,' she wrote in an opinion piece.

In an opinion piece penned for theDaily Beast, McCain notes that if the Republican Party does not adapt and start showing signs of social tolerance the GOP will not survive and that if she does not see signs of moderation on social issues she 'will consider registering as an Independent in 2016.'
The realization hit her election night as she was choking back tears over the Mitt Romney's campaign loss to President Barack Obama.
nttttt
'Its not like hes a close friend,' she wrote. 'Looking back to last week, I think that I was mourning something else. For the last four years, writing on this website, Ive been calling for the Republican Party to come to terms with reality and modernize. Last Tuesday, Mitt Romney lostand he lost big. As Republicans, we lost again. I felt sad, exhausted, beaten down, and heartbroken. It was the first time that I considered that the Republican Party, which I love so much, might die.'
McCain admitted that she doesn't fit into the typical Republican model of 'wingnuts who have hijacked my party,' but feels her the GOP step away from wrong-headed social issues.
'I care more about my economy, national security, and fiscal conservatism than I do about what other woman do with their bodies,' she writes. 'Its not my place, and I dont believe its the governments place, to make such decisions.
'I also dont believe its the governments role to tell gays and lesbians that they cant be given the same opportunities in American just because of who they love.'
What Ms McCain fears most, it seems, is the Republican Party becoming further isolated and irrelevant.
''Times are changing,' she wrote. 'The face of America is changing and we as Republicans stand at a crossroads. Are we going to accept the changing face of America and change with it?' she writes. 'Its possible to maintain the core values of this party and evolve when it comes to social issues. Quite frankly, I dont see any other path to success.'
'I also dont believe its the governments role to tell gays and lesbians that they cant be given the same opportunities in American just because of who they love.'
Who exactly is doing this?
Whe says that a gay person doesn't have the same opportunities as anyone else in America?

Who?
I do.
Can gay couples marry legally in all 50 states? Are gay marriages legally recognized by the federal government? Can I get my Korean lover a spouse US visa? Didn't we discuss this once before?
Maybe you're the one who needs to quit lying (as you told me over at LP).
