U.S. John McCain, R-Ari, who's faced much tougher challenges than the current one, is striking back at Tea Party critics -- McCain refused to apologize for calling the Tea Party lawmakers "hobbits" in a speech in July.

When asked by angry constituents in his home starte to apologize for remarks he made during the U.S. debt deal debate in July, McCain refused, nydailynews.com Tuesday.

"I am sorry if it was misunderstood. I am not sorry for what I said," McCain said at a town hall meeting in Gilbert, Ariz., thehill.com reported Tuesday.

McCain added, "Why should I when it's the facts?" In July, McCain criticized some members of the Republican Party for not supporting House Speaker John Boehner's, R-Ohio, deficit plan by making a "Lord of the Rings" reference on the Senate floor.

Hey, the folks in Arizona had their chance, a good solid candidate that would carry on their traditions, they chose McCain.

I’ve never understood why the MSM loves this RINO. Almost every single Sunday he’s on some talk show, sounding like the fool that we have all come to know.

He says whatever he has to say to get on television. Most times, that means trashing conservative members of his own political party. When he comes up for election, he starts whooping like a conservative yahoo. The dummies in Arizona vote for him, and then its back to business as usual.

McCain knows that he is home free after his last re-election. He can say whatever he wants and everyone will have to swallow his crap — he is no longer accountable.
