McCain Assures Incoming GOP Senators Won’t Be More Ted Cruz Types
Mediaite ^ | Nov. 11, 2014 | Josh Feldman

Posted on 11/11/2014 1:25:12 PM PST by PROCON

Senators John McCain and Ted Cruz don’t exactly have the best relationship. Cruz has said Republicans like McCain are why their party doesn’t do better, and McCain has not been shy about publicly dumping on Cruz, especially during last year’s government shutdown.

And in a new interview with Salon today, McCain wanted to make it clear that the incoming crop of Republicans that will give their party control of the Senate will not be Cruzes. McCain even claimed that a lot of the GOP Senate candidates who won are in the same mold as himself and Lindsey Graham.

Yes, we need a truyly national party. For now, it may have to be a coalition of state parties we can take.

(If there is an established, ballot qualified third party (or fourth, fifth, etc.) in your state, especially if it’s new and has little membership, join and take it over.)

If not for Sarah, I would be completely ashamed about pulling that lever in '08.

Sorry McPain - you are the past. Ted Cruz is the future. With which do you think newly elected senators will align?

McCain’s sole purpose being in the Senate seems to be to discredit the GOP Conservatives for the Dems and carry their water for them. I can not think of any one Republican who did more to make certain that Obama would win in 2008. McCain needs to be invited to leave the GOP, relieved of all chairmanships, and cut off from any future GOP help.

I’ve read about his service and how he killed a few of his own men and sang like a bird in his cell.

Screw him we need a thousand Ted Cruz.

Would this asinine statement be proof that McCain is senile? I vote yes......

Being a POW in North Vietnam had to be a terrible thing. They broke him. He probably hears NVA orders in his head to this very day...

I’ve pretty much had enough of this RINO clown.

We took the Senate because the people of this Country made it happen.

This RINO bastard will go out of his way to wreck any good we may try to do, just out of spite.

He needs to be neutered or removed. I don’t care which, but it needs to be done ASAP before he can cause us any harm.

Same with that prissy punk-ass b*tch Graham.

I was watching Fox today and was, as usual, shocked that they had McCain on for an interview.

He (in the philosophical sense)is why I bitch constantly about keeping his ideological brethren out of office and out of the GOP. Because they become him. Eventually, whether they want to accept that or not, it always comes true.

Any good his service had done has long since been wiped out by his backstabbing, Democrat-ass-kissing traitorous behavior.

He needs to go. Arizona, find a way to recall his ass and throw him out to pasture.
