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.

I’m supporting the guy who finished his mission and got his aircraft back without a hitch. That’s not this guy. VC were there because it was geographical.

I wish it were only LIVs but I believe democrats cross-over in the Republican primary and vote for McCain and then vote for the whoever wins the dem nomination in the general. This has been going on for years. Back in the late 90s I used to surf a music board that had a good number of leftwing hippie types on it and one of them admitted she would vote for him in the primary and so would all of her wookie friends. They knew they couldn’t win with their dem candidate so they did the next best thing. A pretty good tactic if you ask me and one the teaparty should whenever possible stealthily employ in “blue” areas. I’m just hoping his latest episode of warmongering will make them reconsider.

Maybe if enough of us encouraged him to leave the party he would. I have repeatedly.

Leftwing journalists are the lowest life form.

Remember when it used to be used car salesmen?

“I know I am in the minority....but someone needed to do it. McCain certainly has the support to do this from the Texas GOP.”

Oh? No one had to do that..do you think McCain stays conservative in every other instance? I’d like to see something to back up this outrageous claim....got anything?

Arizona is f*xked up. I don’t care how many millions he pours into a race over his opponent, you don’t elect the elephant man.

Democrats love this guy. I was conversing with a couple of downtown Denver progressives and they were shocked that a conservative did not like McCain. Everybody loves McCain.

Democrats elect McCain every cycle.

The ticking clock will soon usher the now toothless old GOP senators from the room.
