U.S. Senator John McCain takes talkathoner Ted Cruz to woodshed
Reuters ^ | September 25, 2013 | By Caren Bohan

Senator John McCain lashed out at fellow Republican Ted Cruz on Wednesday over a Nazi appeasement comparison he made during his all-night, anti-Obamacare marathon on the U.S. Senate floor.

McCain, a Vietnam veteran and former prisoner of war, said the comparison was inappropriate. He said he had taken Cruz aside privately to tell him, and got a response he did not like: Cruz told him his appeaser reference applied not to distinguished members of the Senate but only media "pundits."

"I resoundingly reject" Cruz's comments, said McCain, a senior Republican and former presidential candidate.

"I think it's wrong and I think it's a disservice to those who stood up and shouted at the top of their lungs that we cannot appease and that we must act," he said.

Let’s see:

The Democrat baby-killers ARE National Socialists.

McCain is APPEASING the National Socialists.

So, what is objectionable about Cruz’s comparison?

Power of the MSM and the GOP elite, working in tandem, to denigrate any challenger to McCain and endow him with that special aura of “inevitability”. It’s the same reason we ended up with Romney last time around.

How did we nominate this fool in 2008?

It was his turn, just like it was Dole's turn in 1996, W's turn in 2000, and Romney's turn in 2012.

There is no law that prevents the good citizens of Arizona from organizing a recall.

Federal officers -- senators and congressmen -- cannot be recalled. This has been litigated in both federal court (Idaho, 1967) and state court (New Jersey, 2013).

Between the Democrats and the media, McLame was the "chosen" one. That, because the Democrats and the media knew he would not put up a good fight.

putz!

McCain probably would have been in favor of making a deal with the Nazis if he were around at the time. Of course the Japs put the kibosh on that kind of talk when they attacked Pearl Harbor.

Folks....let’s see if John McCain, Mitch McConnell, John Cornyn, of any other RINO can get 1,750,000 Americans to sign “any” political petition such as Ted Cruz has done. And.....the Cruz petition will go well over 2,000,000 signatures within the next 48 hours!!! Until such time, Senator, John McCain, kindly keep your pie hole shut!!! You...sir handed the election to Barack Hussein “Hate America” Obama in 2008 by making nice to him instead of exposing him for what he really is, An America Hater!!!!

Folks: WWW.DONYFUNFOBAMACARE.COM, Sign & Endorse it now!!!!

Bravo, Cruz, lee, Rubio, Paul, etc!!!! The American people are with you...not John McCain!!!

Ted Cruz listened to America. John McCain listens to the voices in his head.

And I am about convinced that those voices are those of VietCong and Russkies who brainwashed him while a POW. The man just doesn't think like a logical, rational person. His brains are cooked by something...

Yeah, McKook keeps mentally imagining himself a hero. His staff let the old guy out whenever he gets riled up at anyone who dares defy him or his lady friend Linseed Gray Ham.

McCain wanted ten minutes in the well of the Senate today for the very purpose of furnishing the MSM with a something critical of Cruz to report.

So, we have 21 hours of Cruz quotes, and ten minutes of McCain's - guess which the news media run with.

Leftwing journalists are the lowest life form. So are backstabbing RINOs.

With all due respect, John McCain, you need to retire now.
