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.

Cept for Palin’s endorsement.
Fornicate you, John McCain
Do I think he stayed conservative in every instance? Absolutely not. Many have not.
This guy should have been put out to pasture back in 1986..
I heard rand paul on hannity say that he does not agree with this "shutdown" but he would not vote for cloture. He says that the old leadership are entrenched and that they have no intention of stopping anything that obama wants. They are beaten down and have no fight in them.
Cruz said that these gop leaders have been in DC too long and that they have been beaten so badly that they have no fight left in them and that they do not believe that anything can stop Obama and his agenda. They just want to scam us and hold on to personal wealth and power for as long as possible.
This is how McStain talked about 0bama during the '08 campaign
So he'll trash conservatives but the lying Marxist is a "decent man who we needn't be afraid of".
I’m glad all ex-Navy men not listening to the radio waves McCain and Aaron Alexis, are tuned into!
whoa...you should hide all of the contraband, take the dog over to the neighbors and remove the Reagan pic from the fridge. The JBTs are headed your way!
Even John Kerry has those credentials. Now show us some credentials where McLame has done anything conservative in his career.
McCain finished 4th from last in his class of 900. He had accidents in THREE military jets, flying too low and hotdogging it before his POW shootdown.
1. Into water flying too low and slow - jet sunk, McCain swam to surface
2. Flew into power lines in Spain, blacking out a city - he managed to return to his aircraft carrier with the power lines still clinging to his plane
3. Incident in Virginia when he was supposed to be headed elsewhere, tried to land on a road or old landing strip.
When shot down over Vietnam he was flying at 3000 ft. when he had been told not to go below 4000 ft. into the range of their anti-aircraft fire.
These are things I remember reading a long time ago. Please, anyone feel free to correct this if you know better.
If accurate, who is he to take anyone to the woodshed?
Kerry was a POW? Didn’t know that.
Take a gander at his facebook page. You are not alone. Same with Harry “Gollum” Reid.
Ted, OTOH, is receiving rave reviews.
Good for you.
I disagree (About the Palin Choice only). I think McCain never intended to win and the choice of Sarah Palin was a mistake that almost ruined his plan.
McCain defends al Qaeda and ships them weapons to
exterminate Syrian Christians AND he helps
keep the borders to Az., and the USA, WIDE OPEN
to bot al Qaeda and narcoterrorists.
... while the very same McCain attacks proAmerica Cruz??
To call McCain slime is unfair to slime.
What they meant to say is McCain TRIES to take Cruz to the woodshed - and fails miserably.
BFD.
Stick to the politician.
McCain is a huge reason Obama is President...he handed the election to Obama and I will never forgive the man for that....everything since and even before he’s been a traitor to the American people and he continues to walk that walk now.
Sometimes my disdain for McCain even surpasses Obama!
“So why does McC want to appease Obama now?”
Barry’s RAT minions have dossiers on everyone — ready for blackmail, if needed. McQueeg’s must be pretty juicy — maybe pics of him with his significant other, the lovely Miz Linseed.
You only have to sound conservative once every six years and the average AZ voter will vote you in.
