Meghan McCain, MSNBC’s newest contributor with a growing laundry list of outlandish comments to her credit, appeared as on Wednesday’s Tonight Show. During the broadcast, the quirky McCain compared herself to conservative icon President Ronald Reagan, asserting that if he were in the presidential race today, “he would be called a dirty moderate like me, unfortunately.”
McCain, who identifies herself as a “big proponent” of same-sex marriage, said that her views have isolated her in Republican circles.
“People don’t think I’m Republican enough because I’m a big advocate of marriage equality in this country. But I’m very proud to do it. My mother joined me. You know, I just —it’s one of the reasons why I love being in politics. I just think this is my generation’s civil rights issue.”
Below is the NBC clip of McCain’s latest bombshell, courtesy of Mediaite:
“I don’t understand! Republicans, you know, can be very hypocritical when you say you’re a strict constitutionalist, and then you’re against — you want to regulate people getting married. I mean, I just don’t understand it.”

The mistake Reagan made was trusting Democrat’s at their word. For sealing the boarder and cutting spending. Socialist Progressives, Socialist, Communist even Islamist can’t be trusted. Their word is good as long as it is convenient, once it’s not… neither is their word.
Too them, the ends justifies the means, no matter the cost, financial or in lives, its just numbers to them and we all know they’re not good with math.

I hate to tell you, bud… but we’ve had an illegal immigrant problem WAY before Reagan. You see, When I was growing up, I lived a few blocks from Arlington International Racecourse. (It was just Arlington Park, back then). Well, the stable owners would of course, hire Mexicans for hotwalkers, stall muckers and exercise boys. Those that couldn’t live at the track, lived in an apartment complex towards the south end of town. We called it ‘Little Mexico’ because, well, it was. 4-5 families to one apartment, they did millions of dollars of damage to that complex. We didn’t have many black people near us, so I was unfamiliar with the ‘inner city’, but this was close. This was the nw suburbs of Chicago, and that neighborhood was forever scarred because of that. I used to live on a main thoroughfare to the track, and the Mexicans would walk by going to work and make cat-calls to my friends and me when we were outside playing. I was 5. This was 1977. Before Reagan.
