John McCain, the old crusty GOP progressive hobbit ran for president in 2008 against Obama. No one challenged his eligibility. Strange because John McCain wasn’t born in America, he was born in Panama. Now the old crusty McCain has joined in with Obama and Rand Paul to go birther against Ted Cruz. Yes, the same John McCain who threw a tantrum on the Senate floor against Ted Cruz and called him and other conservatives ‘wacko birds’. BTW, did I mention John McCain was born in Panama?

Sen. John McCain, R-Arizona, who faced questions as the 2008 GOP presidential nominee about his birth abroad, is now posing the same question to Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas.
In an interview Wednesday on Phoenix radio station 550 KFYI’s Chris Merill Show, McCain said he “doesn’t know” whether Cruz’s birth in Canada makes him eligible to be president. Cruz, whose father was born in Cuba, asserts that he is a U.S. citizen because his mother was an American.
Asked if the Supreme Court might have to weigh in on the “natural born citizen” issue, McCain said, “It may be, that may be the case.”
Talk about Cruz’s situation resurfaced after Donald Trump started raising questions about it in an interview published Tuesday by The Washington Post.
Trump advised Cruz on Wednesday to go to court to clarify his status.
On Thursday, he tweeted that he was offering Cruz “free legal advice.”
