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 Arizonans is there ant way you can start a recall petition of this clown? I’m willing to bet there are a large number of McCain voters right about now with buyers remorse.
Do it soon please I’m willing to make another bet here and that bet is he will end up on the so called super committee. Won’t that be wonderful the three super liberals on the Dem side and then most likely a pair of good conservative Republicans and John, I really want to be loved by the Democrats, McCain.
Anybody else struck by the absurdity of McQueeg calling somebody else a Hobbit?
The real question is, Are you going to stand by your criticism of Obama, the democrats, and the commie left?
Oh wait, your mean there isn’t any?
FUJM
You answered your own question. They love him because he is a RINO.
You've kind of answered your own question here. The MSM loves him because, while to you and I he sounds like a fool, he bashes conservatives, and really that's what the media is all about. He was the GOP nominee last time because he was the media and the left's pet Republican. They also realized that Husein had about a 20 minute resume so they wanted a weak opposition candidate. McCain was perfect. He p#sses off conservatives, and as anyone knows, without conservative support the GOP loses. Everyone knows this except the RNC leadership that is.
And you should Senator McCain.
Spoken like a true member of the Government's Other Party.
Juan is Gollum; Schumer is Saruman; Durbin is Wormtongue, Obama is Sauron, Rush is Gandolf, and The Cuda is Galadrial.
That is an outlandish, uncalled for comparison that is unfair to suppurating butt warts.
thanks, that is what I was thinking.
Wish he would shut up already.
Sadly, McCain haes anyone with a SPINe on our side.....becau he’s been Neutered by his LIberal Wife and Daughter.......GO AWAY, JOHN McCAIN!
Shirley, you can't be serious! It's precisely because he IS a RINO that they love him!
Great pic! Of a suppurating butt wart! But, perhaps a cancerous lesion in full blown crisis is a better description?
Right back at ya Johnny-boy! Right back at ya!
So I take it from your estimation the so-called blowhard would have done a worse job as this jack-ass? You guys in my adoptive state (Army Brat) deserve exactly what you got. For some silly reason, the folks in Cochise County get it.
Tea Party: We stand by our McCain Criticism.
Then step down fool.
FUJM!!! I’ve been saying that over and over for a very long time now. JM is worse than BO in that so many people continue to be clueless as to what an SOB JM is. FUJM!!!!!!!I feel sorry for the ignorant people who still ride around with JM bumper stickers.
John McCain is what you get when you have open primaries.
I want my vote back.
