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.

Well, Senator McCain, that goes to show just how thick you can be.
In this way McCain continues to sell himself as a “moderate”,yet somehow “Conservative” Republican-—see, he’s ‘principled’, but in order to sell that, he’s always got to find an enemy target that’s NOT principled, and in this case he finds the ONLY principled group in here, and it’s the Tea Party members who voted AGAINST the Boehner Bill.
McCain calling himself Conservative requires he stigmatize the true Conservatives as dangerous whackos on the fringe, the only impediments to bipartisan “progress”.This of course is EXACTLY how the Obama Administration sees it also.
McCain has always been very good at doing the Left’s work for them, it’s ONE BIG reason Obama got elected in the first place, and McCain and his revolving band of disciples
like Graham,are another big reason Obama and his
agenda have gotten as far as they have.
To compound the misery that is the experience of having to listen to McCain three times a week, out of the OTHER sideof his mouth he’ll come out with a statement blaming Obama for the S&P
downgrade,and not the Republicans.That’s all supposed to return him to our good graces—see, he’s ‘measured’,his tone and his statements are “nuanced”, which is just another euphemism for “calculated”-—he gives a teensy bit with one hand and takes away ten times more with the other. The Left’s best friend, that John McCain, and perfect symbolic expression of how and why our two political parties have melded into one, a kind of hybrid Liberalism that only pretends to be having a dialogue with itself, and has no need any longer to put any checks and balances on its behavior, its vision,or its policies.
Oh I know. It was a bit of a euphemism. I agree.
I think that many millions of your patriotic countrymen continue to applaud your bravery and conduct during your tragic imprisonment in Vietnam. We thank you and your family for your sacrifices.
However, don't get the idea that millions of us voted for you for the office of President of the United States in 2008.
We knew then as you have confirmed many times throughout the years that you are fully unqualified, in judgement, values, and temperament, to hold any elective office.
We voted ABO, not for you.
Please take yourself out of the spotlight, and quit providing so much ammunition to the opposition. You are the Jane Fonda of our times, and you run the risk of undoing all of the sacred values of we who support our wonderful country. You, by your actions, are yourself demeaning your own sacrifices for our country!
Well, that does it. I still despise this cretin.
Juan Got hit on the head too many times by the Commies and now thinks like those backstabber’s back in Hanoi did,Juan there can No RINO Republicans,No Fag Republicans,NO lifetime Republican Politician Traitors and Your Cute little Senate country Club There, needs removed!

I wonder he didn´t express these sentiments prior to his reelection.
Hobbiphobic.
I make my living by practicing emergency medicine. One thing I have learned in my 31 years in the service of my fellow man it that there comes a time when you need to look the patient in the eye and say “ You have fought the good fight but it is time for you to go toward the light”. In John McCains case I would add, AND IF YOU DON’T.. WE WILL PUT YOU DOWN LIKE THE LAME OLD HOUND YOU ARE.”
Sauron/Saruman is Hillary.
Obama is Mickey as the Sorcerer's Apprentice.
