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.

Is John McCain going to take Harry Reid to the woodshed for saying on the senate floor right after Ted Cruz walked away, that the tea party are the new anarchist?

Right you are, and I think he got a lot of extra play because his dad was a big shot.

Actually, I think it was the other way around. Cruz took McCain and all like him to the woodshed for about 22 hours of attitude adjustment. Sounds like their attitude needs some more adjusting!

Do you know how bad McCain is?

Almost makes you glad that Obama won the election against him.

McCain hates conservatives..

McSlime hates our Republic as Founded.

Read about McCains family history. He has real "daddy" issues. He felt he could never live up to his dad's expectations.

McCain is severely mentally ill.

Since his dad is gone, he has taken the revenge he wanted take upon his dad and transferred it to the Country his father loved.

McCain wants to destroy our Republic in order to subconsciously get back at his father. McCain is truly an evil, sick man.

How can this dingbat say last year’s election shows that the public wants Obamacare, when Obama’s opponent was the co-author of Obamacare? As the surveys show, the anti-Obamacare crowd stayed home in 2012 since they only had Tweedledum and Tweedledummer to pick from.

Poor old guy...

Just can’t STAND when the spotlight is off of himself. Also can’t stand when a young Junior Senator points out the Old Bastards Club miserable performance.

Time to be put out to pasture with the REST of the dinosaurs in the Senate. This is Tea Party time - our time, and we WILL take back the Senate, and out country as well.

One RINO and one Bolshevik Dem at a time.

“How did we nominate this fool in 2008?”

Easy answer: We were beaten into submission by the same well-funded Useful Idiots who gave us Richard Nixon (father of the EPA), Gerald Ford (AKA—Wet Cardboard), George “New World Order” Bush, Bob Droll, George Amnesty and Expanded Medicare Bush, and Mitt Trotsky.

I’m just a Tea Party “hobbit”. Don’t mind me.....

I was only a kid when Ronaldus Magnus was in office, but man, I miss him more and more every day. Even my liberal parents loved him.

Let’s not forget FOX’s cheer leading for him, too.

Oops. I said that out loud. Oh well.

“He’ll be one to go from the Senate floor to the funeral home, probably about 2028.”

It’ll be sooner if we he has his medical decisions being made by a death panel like the rest of us will.

McCain should just switch over to the RATs and get it over with.
He obviously supports “Compassionate Nazism”.
He needs to go.

McCain and his family and friends are exempt from the Obamacare mandates.

The chances of a US Senator being subject to the Death Panel review is the same as the chances of Salma Hayek dumping her billionaire husband and calling me for a date.

Cruz’s epic all nighter was a game changer. So was the Colorado Recall of those two RAT bastard Dems.

It’s a new day, and the RINOs and Old Dem bolsheviks are crapping in their pants.

People woke up... and that’s NEVER good for the “status quo” in DC.

Having been in naval aviation in the late sixties, early seventies, what is it about 1960s aviation that you can tell us that would clear McCain? Just curious.
