Sen. John McCain returns to Arizona, will miss vote on GOP tax bill
CBS News ^

Posted on 12/17/2017 12:40:31 PM PST by springwater13

epublican Sen. John McCain is returning to Arizona after spending several days in a Maryland hospital recovering from side effects from chemotherapy treatment for brain cancer, CBS News has learned.

McCain left Washington Sunday and is heading back to his home state to spend the holidays with his family. He will not be on hand for the final vote on the GOP tax passage expected for early this week. It is unclear when McCain might return to Washington.

Despite a razor-thin margin needed to pass the measure, McCain's presence will not likely be the determining factor in the vote. Two critical senators -- Bob Corker of Tennessee and Marco Rubio of Florida -- announced their support for the bill last week after initially saying they would oppose earlier versions.

Not to be a killjoy on this John McCain love fest.
McCain is a flat out traitor. Hated by many if not most veterans.

To the people he was with as POW, they said he was a traitor.
Known as “songbird” McCain for singing his tune to get preferential treatment.

The broken arms were from ejecting from his plane without keeping his arms held down.

Before responding try listening to this.

BTW: I served also. I hate traitors. So should you. MAGA.

He should have resigned before he voted against killing Obamacare. The DNC will have the largest flower arrangement
at his hospice bedside

Nature can’t take its course fast enough. Tick tock. All enemies, foreign and domestic.

Mr. Doucey can appoint Ms. Ward to the position.

She’s worked hard for it.

The Rats pull crap like that so they can get an incumbent vote. Time for a little payback over the character assassination of Judge Moore.

This. And he’s fair game until he steps down. Can’t have it both ways.

Dancing on the premature grave of Senator McCain is one of the reasons this place has to fund raise all year long.

I check in here from time to time but sad to see the vitriol.

Some of you are no better than the left.

He is close to the end.

Otherwise he would have stayed in D.C. to vote..

More than likely his mental ability is done...I doubt he knows this is the Christmas season at all.

This is his last trip back to Arizona, much like a dog’s last trip to the vet. In November, around Thanksgiving, he was found to have a second tumor. See:

Surprising how none of the major news organizations have mentioned this.

Of course he'll miss the vote.

I wouldn't expect him to vote for tax cuts.

I agree. He went home to avoid voting yes.

I’ll believe he’s dying when I see it.

John McCain needs to be investigated concerning the mysterious death of Deborah Jeane Palfrey, the D.C. Madam.....she was on the way to testify in Congress about names in her address book

Road apples.
As big an A-hole as he has been since he returned that’s no excuse for the lies about his service.

I know many veterans and not a single one “hates” the guy or criticizes his service or spews that ridiculous communist propaganda about his captivity.
