Meghan McCain spoke to the Log Cabin Republicans on Saturday at their annual convention, and urged her party to evolve.
Said McCain: "The person who stands before you is not confined within the mold of what a daughter of a Republican Presidential candidate 'should' be for some. And that's OK. Our world is not confined by molds and neither should our nation….People in our country have much more important issues to deal withon a daily basis. But the experience did reinforce what I learned onthe campaign trail in some major ways. I'll summarize them in three points:1. Most of our nation wants our nation to succeed.2. Most people are ready to move on to the future, not live in the past.3. Most of the old school Republicans are scared shitless of that future."
McCain added: "I am concerned about the environment. I love to wear black. I thinkgovernment is best when it stays out of people's lives and business asmuch as possible. I love punk rock. I believe in a strong nationaldefense. I have a tattoo. I believe government should always beefficient and accountable. I have lots of gay friends. And yes, I am aRepublican."
