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.

As much as I am not a fan of Pakistan even I wouldn’t wish Meghan McCain on them
McCain crushed his primary opponents in 2010 and won the general by >20% of the vote.
He’ll be one to go from the Senate floor to the funeral home, probably about 2028.
Because Duncan Hunter and Fred Thompson were no longer available. And so the liberal Left and their media picked for us. Oh what could have been. :-(.
Hey Trisham. How are you? ...and I know some will not agree but they have their reasons. Hope you are well.

Pardon me for editing Roooooters story. Somebody has to.
If I understand the legal interpretations, membership in either house of Congress, after election, is the sole prerogative of the specific house until the next election. State recall statutes are inoperable for the Congress.
This old man needs a large fenced pasture.
I was thinking more like a glue factory down in
Mexico somewhere.
I would be perfectly happy if she and her traitorous father were to relocate there, hopefully without internet access.
Are they at the bottom of their class too?
McCain is simply a political opportunist. He was a maverick when it suited his ambitions. If he were planning on running in 2016 he’d be on the floor of the Senate right now, railing in support of defunding Obamacare in an attempt to beat Cruz’s time. If only by 5 minutes do he could say he did.
But no longer able to seek the Presidency, McCain has set his sites on the honorific “statesman”.
So Juan gets offended whenever anyone speaks ill of the Nazis?
I am. Thank you, DallasSun. I hope that you are well, too.
McShamey isn’t fit to carry a bucket of swear from Cruz’s brow.
A disgrace to country and family.
