Meghan McCain's speech at last weekend's Log Cabin Republicans convention is stirring controversy. Washington Whispers reports on McCain's speech: "Tonight I am proud to join you in challenging the mold and the notion of what being a Republican means.... I am concerned about the environment. I love to wear black. I think government is best when it stays out of people's lives and business as much as possible. I love punk rock. I believe in a strong national defense. I have a tattoo. I believe government should always be efficient and accountable. I have lots of gay friends, and yes, I am a Republican." Does Meghan McCain represent the future of the GOP? Post your thoughts.

I don't see a problem, the issues with the Republican party aren't gays and rock music it's the economy and big government. We have to evolve as a party and keeping the same stale issues to cater to people who have a narrow vision of the world when America is more than just a few polarizing individuals who keep the party from expanding and gaining younger members.

I hope that Ms McCain rises in the party. I like her liberal social stance and conservative fiscal views. Hope that she supports Simpson Boles, unlike Rombama.
