STFU Juan.

I’d like to think you are right, but I’ll bet there are a lot of Republican women out there that are thinking sex trumps.

If she only got 10%, it could deny a better person the nomination.

That is the GOPe and RNC game this year, just making sure a Conservative can’t get the nomination.

That’s why McCain supports her.

Ted, you must be over ground zero; you’re catching flak from the enemy commander.

Got a fundraiser letter with an return envelope today for Sen McCain. I wrote that he told us we could trust Obama and look where we are. I told him he has no judgement and shouldn’t run.

[Lazamataz]

Good old John McCain.

One of the most reliable liberals out there.

When I was in Switzerland, it was common to see a camo’d service guy on the train with his rifle leaning against the wall.

Switzerland have any problems?

Civilians with ccw permits should be allowed to conceal carry on base too. I have friends who, because they can’t legally keep a gun secured in their car, are unsrmrd when driving to and from work too.

I know McCain suffered terribly in the Hanoi Hilton. I know they broke his arms and shoulders. Why on Earth couldn't they have removed his tongue?

[Ted, you must be over ground zero]

Ground Zero is where George Washington was sworn in as POTUS.

As POTUS, TED CRUZ will swear to uphold the U.S. Constitution.

John McCain is a vicious, mean-spirited, establishment RINO.
I hope he is flushed out of office in the next election cycle.

[TWhiteBear]

Senator McCain may be a reliable liberal but he sounds less and less like a rational person....Oh
So what does Senator McCain have to say about the issue?
Giving our loyal members of the military an opportunity to defend themselves against attack from clear and present dangers seems like a good policy to me.
I bet the military whose names and addresses were published by the Jihadis may have an opinion to share with the clueless Senator McCain.

"McCain is just like us. We support Obama and Islamic terrorism
over the Constitution and any conservative."

Side note, I don’t think testing Sen. Cruz on his resolve about issues that concern him is a winning move for anyone. He strikes me as a man who will call a bluff without blinking.

And McCain strikes me as a man who could well have forgotten half the conversations he's had in the past 24 hours.

Dear John McCain, the US Senate does not run all business through your office.

[Jim from C-Town]

Every male adult between 20 and 30 in Switzerland are issued a select fire automatic weapon and are trained in Civilian Defense. Military service is compulsory and when they are discharged they may keep their weapons. However, they must be modified to be only semi-automatic.

There are two reasons why Switzerland has been able to remain neutral for over a century. The forbidding terrain and the heavily armed citizenry.

[Jim from C-Town]

McCain is prima facie evidence that a term limit for Congress and Senate is long over due!

[Jim from C-Town]

You should have attached it to a 100# boulder and sent it back so that you could waist his mailing funds.

[Blood of Tyrants]

It is ridiculous that our troops aren’t trusted to carry their own firearms on base.

[Kenny]

McCain had his shot and gave it away. Time to shut-up and go quietly into the night.

[Yardstick]

That’s how it looks to me too. The article has “pressing” in quotes but it seems like Cruz might not have actually said that.

Cruz has an opportunity here to zing McCain for being confused and overreacting if that’s the case.
