"You can call yourself Republicans ... but don't call yourself Reagan Republicans," Republican Senator John McCain told some of his fellow GOP colleagues Thursday on the Senate floor, according to Politico.

"Ronald Reagan would never -- would never let this kind of aggression go unresponded by the American people."

The Senator from Arizona's scathing remarks come after numerous GOP members of Congress objected to a Ukrainian aid and Russian sanctions package over a dispute regarding the International Monetary Fund provisions in the bill.

"There will be objection from this side to this legislation when the people of Ukraine are crying out for our help and our assistance," McCain said. "What's the message we're sending the Ukrainian people? That we have a problem with the fix for the IMF."

McCain also said he was surprised that another senator proposed a bill without any sanctions on Russia or punishments for the way its has been acting.

"What has happened? Where are our priorities?" McCain asked. "Is the IMF ... more important than the lives of thousands of people? Is that what we're talking about here?"

Sen. Rand Paul, and some of the other Republicans who voted down the measure, said they opposed the bill because it would positively affect Russia, as the Ukrainian government is indebted to Russia for billions of dollars, according to the Washington Post.

The IMF provision, which spurred the debate, was the main reason why GOP Sen. John Barrasso and a few other Republicans didn't approve the bill. He said they wanted to approve the aid package quickly but that the "provisions that are no unrelated to the crisis in Ukraine" need to "be debated by this body."

According to the Post, the bill, which had bipartisan support, includes aid and loan guarantees for democracy-building initiatives in Ukraine, as well as sanctions against the Russian government.

Although a similar bill passed in the House last week, the aid package is another installment in the feud between party lines and congressional dysfunction.

The IMF provision was aimed at moving roughly $63 billion from a crisis fund to a general account, an effort that would have ensured a greater U.S. influence in the world.

After Thursday evening's rant, McCain and seven other senators, including Barrasso who objected the bill, flew to Ukraine to meet with its national leaders.
