Meghan McCain the daughter of Senator John McCain has been all over the talk show circuit bemoaning the state of the GOP.

Is she RIGHT?

Or, is she parroting her Tina Brown sponsored left-wing cohorts over at The Daily Beast, known to love/support faux-conservatives (ala Chris Buckley and Barack Obama).

Or, better yet, is Meghan a chip off the ol’ MAVERICK block?

Flap’s take is this:

Meghan is young, not particularly well educated and comes from a life of privilege. She is not your typical  24 year old except that she wants to be accepted by her peers (as she whines on TV, no less, that she cannot get a date).

Meghan is from the generation of political correctness and Comedy Central shows are news. She expresses a generational angst and frustration but to think she is any future voice of the Republican Party is to fail to consider the source.

But, the left-wing MSM just loves to hear this crap and kick the GOP with it when it is down.

Say it isn’t so. Obama who heavily criticised John McCain just a few months ago about his health care plan is considering the EXACT same thing – taxing worker’s health benefits.

So far, administration officials have been careful not to endorse the idea, which Obama blasted as a major tax increase last year after Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) made it the centerpiece of his presidential campaign’s health plan. But the president hasn’t slammed the door on it, either.

This week, White House budget director Peter Orszag said taxing employer benefits was among several ideas that “most firmly should remain on the table.” White House economic adviser Jason Furman called for an end to the so-called “employer exclusion” before he joined the administration. Meanwhile, some congressional Democrats say the White House has signaled that Obama would accept a tax on employer benefits as long as he didn’t have to propose it himself.

Flap remembers these campaign ads tearing up the airwaves in Nevada over the summer. But, here we have…. Another case where Obama’s campaign statements come with an expiration date.

The latest Rasmussen Poll shows little American voter support for a new Economic Stimulus bill.

Just 27% of voters nationwide favor passage of a second economic stimulus package. The latest Rasmussen Reports nationwide telephone survey found that 55% are opposed and 19% are not sure.

Despite the public opposition, 74% say it’s likely that Congress will try to pass another stimulus plan before the year is out. That figure includes 45% who say it’s Very Likely that Congress will do so.

The Obama/Democrats realize the first $ Trillion PORKULUS Stimulus Law will do LITTLE to increase jobs – as the GOP in Congress maintained all along.

So, they will give it a second go, when the economy does not dramatically improve.

But, who will pay for all of the spending?
