LOL!! More mud slinging!! Ted Cruz: Conservatives Were 'Embarrassed Voting' For John McCain In 2008

Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) took a swipe at Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) and his failed 2008 presidential run during an interview with GQ Magazine.

"I don't know a conservative who didn't feel embarrassed voting in 2006 or 2008," Cruz said. "I think the Republican Party lost its way. We didn't stand for the principles we're supposed to believe in."

The comment is not the first harsh hit between the two Republicans. McCain grouped Cruz in with other "wacko birds on the right" in a March interview with HuffPost.

I know many were thinking that, but it's entirely different for them to verbally admit it
