U.S. Senator John McCain takes talkathoner Ted Cruz to woodshed
Reuters ^ | September 25, 2013 | By Caren Bohan

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.

You don't know jack about naval aviation in general and less about 1960s era aircraft carrier aviation in particular.

He stood for longer periods than 21 hours in Vietnam?

Doesn’t he know that if the Viagra lasts more than 4 hours, he has a medical problem? Anyway, his brain damage is explained. Blood deprivation for more than 21 hours.

His staff let the old guy out whenever he gets riled up at anyone who dares defy him or his lady friend Linseed Gray Ham.

I imagine his staff leading him around like the Persians led their giant in the movie 'The 300'- same vocalizations and all.

He was nominated because 1) he had behind the public curtain some very strong strings being pulled knowing he was/would be a loser 2) His birth place was a question mark but this could be compromised with Obama’s 3) Palin would be the Judas goat for public acceptance. It seems that Cruz has shown a real split between Palin and McCain. McCain cant hold a candle to Cruz’s knowledge and understanding of true Constitutional government. As an overseas veteran in WWII and a brother killed on Okinawa I no longer have empathy with McCains service.

This is Reuters. Good luck trying to find ONE Reuters article on Cruz that doesn’t slam him.

I think Palin was selected so they could destroy her. She was an up and comer and they were afraid of her.

I voted for McCain in 2008 because it was the first time in History that a Democrat had a Republican Running Mate. /s

Of course I had no idea McCain was a Democrat at the time.

McCrud is so not worthy to serve in the U.S. Senate. Arizona, how could you do this to the rest of us?

Cruz just exposed these traitors Rinos and how they will vote when it comes to Obamacare. Replay his message during election time to remind the people how the RINO bastards are siding with the democrats.
