McCain Tears Into Cruz Over Shutdown: 'Stop! You're Wrong, You're Crazy!'

[UCmeNdc]

Sen. John McCain (AZ) lashed out at fellow Republican Sen. Ted Cruz (TX) on Thursday for causing a government shutdown that made it difficult for hungry residents in rural Arizona to get food.


"I have to say, 'Stop! You're wrong, you're crazy!'" McCain exclaimed. "That's what I have to say and if I sound angry, it's because I have met and talked to constituents of mine who are on minimum wage who had to resort to go to food banks. I'm going to do everything in my power to make sure that doesn't happen again."

3. A Panamanian attacks a Canadian?

Cool. Foodfight!

4. Crus is not canadian. He's

Cubanadian.

[R. Daneel Olivaw]

13. I thohgt he was a Hemorrhoidian.

14. It is actually

señor Rafael Eduardo "Téodoro" Cruz R-CU/CA

[dbackjon]

5. McCain has been less crazy past few weeks

Voted for ENDA, now this.

15. He must see the writing on the wall.

[factsarenotfair]

6. John McCain apparently doesn't know that people in minimum wage jobs often go to food pantries.

It's not unusual nowadays.

[trueblue2007]

7. it is ABOUT TIME that some republican told Cruz to knock it off.

i wish someone had the guts to tell Cruz to GO TO HELL

[MADem]

8. Any time they fight amongst themselves, it's a good thing.

And if McCain is starting to grab a clue that it's hard out there for people on minimum wage, so much the better...

[libdem4life]

9. I think McCain is the "canary in the coal mine" for the GOP. Or their Weather Rooster pointing

out which way the Republican wind is blowing.

[hamsterjill]

10. I'm sorry, but I can simply never forgive John McCain

For unleashing Sarah Palin on the country. She's as much of a nut case as Ted Cruz, and their types gained momentum and attention because of her run for the Vice Presidency.

[tofuandbeer]

16. I'll take that a step further: I'd never trust ANYONE who has held a GOP position. nt

[stevenleser]

24. Not sure we can completely blame him for that. His team did not vet properly.

He's responsible for his folks, that's true, but no matter what he and his family say, because they have to support the choice, I am sure they would rather that he had picked someone else in hindsight.

[Oakenshield]

11. *snort*

Takes one to know one. They can both take a long walk off a short pier.

[silvershadow]

12. So now he's back to moderate again? It's hard to keep up with his political sail. nt

[Whisp]

17. He might be priming for 2016.

After all, the fucker does sort of seem like the good guy in a bunch of bad, saying stuff like that - which I highly doubt he really means.

[silvershadow]

18. Even if he turned back into the old McCain of days long past, he would still have to sail the

Republican waters, and he panders too much now for me. Once was a time, many, many moons ago now when I could tolerate him. Times change. He has changed. I just really don't have much respect for him anymore. No matter, let him run. He will get slaughtered in the Republican primary. Then they can nominate some extreme right winger and they will get slaughtered too.

[BootinUp]

19. Interesting because it shows how far the knuckledraggers have

gone. I really don't give a shit about McCain though. He can go to Hades.

[davidpdx]

20. This is just ripe for a parady

I hope someone does it too.

[Myrina]

21. Hey John, people making minimum wage were probably ALREADY using food banks ...

... your party's Shutdown just shone a spotlight on how bad the poverty in this country really is.

[kairos12]

22. He begat Palin, who begat Cruz. He should STFU.

[UCmeNdc]

23. McCain goes after Cruz again

John McCain just does not like Ted Cruz one bit.
