Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) said his vote Friday against “skinny repeal” of Obamacare was a vote for bipartisanship. In fact, it was the opposite, rewarding Democrats for passing Obamacare without working with Republicans in the first place, allowing them to establish a beachhead for government-run health care, which they will now be able to protect.
Whatever happens going forward, they will regard their initial partisanship as having been worth the effort.
McCain said in a statement after casting the decisive “no” vote in the wee hours of Friday morning: “I’ve stated time and time again that one of the major failures of Obamacare was that it was rammed through Congress by Democrats on a strict-party line basis without a single Republican vote. We should not make the mistakes of the past that has led to Obamacare’s collapse.”
But it is not as if Democrats were excluded from the repeal effort.

President Obama is John McCain’s legacy.
Can’t think of anything more appropriate than John McCain dying in prison.
Treason is the legacy of John McCain.
Well the the bill sucked so why not vote it down..
I cannot stand McCain but maybe the this will get the GOP in gear..
Time to calll and and email your reps in DC..I told mine ..I will never vote for them unless Obamacare is REPEALED..
I told them to send Healthcare to the states..they can pick what they want..single payer or insurance all they will do is make it worse
McCain makes me sick.
This RETARD from Arizona doesn’t seem to realize that Obamacare screwed us (and the country) over BIG time and gave the RATS 100% of what they wanted. Yet, he wants us to “sit down with the democrats and hammer out a solution” now... WHY? How does it benefit US (or the country) by giving the RATS *ANY* percentage of anything?
Not to mention that he seems to be under the illusion - no doubt because half of what once functioned as a brain is missing - that the RATS are honorable people who will bend over backwards to compromise with the Republicans and help their country. Bull! We go down THAT road and the RATS will get a mere 99% of everything they want, while the Republicans get 1%, but crowing rights that they “sat down in friendship” with the enemy and hammered out something that will only screw us all 99% of the time instead of 100% of the time... THEN they !@(!*(@$ will want to be re-elected.

McCain is a liar not fit to represent anyone, much less a whole state. I officially apologize to America for voting for him for President in 2008. How foolish I was!
Ya know what... I just got my bill for a recent ekg with cardiac catheterization, The ins I had 8 years ago would have made this bearable. the insurance I have now is gonna set me back thousands. I get that I should “feel” lucky that I didn’t die but in a nutshell I just wished that I had what I had before this nonsense.
I did not get to keep my plan and I am paying alot more. Hmmmmmm.
No, I don't give a damn about his Naval service. As we use to say in the Navy - one ohshit erases all the atta boys. This man has enough ohshits to erase the entire pacific fleet atta boys of his time. Go away McPain and take your boyfriend Linda with you.
Stifling the www? Online Freedom of Speech Act (H.R. 1606)"1606 is needed because federal courts have ordered the Federal Election Commission to regulate "electioneering communications" on the Internet because of the Bipartisan Campaign Finance Reform Act (McCain-Feingold). If H.R. 1606 fails to become law, your Web site or blog could be shut down for the 30 days prior to a primary election and the 60 days prior to a general election should you express "electioneering communications."John McCain, enemy of free speech
What more do you need to know about him?
Actually I think it been clear for years that McCain is not very smart and has a deep sense of entitlement. (Due to be soon & grandson of Admirals, was probably used to people bowing & scraping to him all his life!)
I didn’t vote for that senile, brain maggot eaten old BASTARD; I voted for Sara Palin.
Figured he would croak in office and I would get the President I wanted.
Excellent point.
I am really tempted to ask “ Is he dead yet ?” But I will take the high road and pray that God does not let him suffer when He does go
McStain must go. Sorry John, as a war hero you above all else should understand you must crush your opponent in order for one side to WIN. You hate Trump because he pulled off a win when you could not, and he made a disparaging remark about your Vietnam capture. GET OVER YOURSELF and your hatred.
Not really. Without McCain realizing it he did us a favor. The Senate Republicans were attempting to build another Obamacare by boosting it up with billions of tax dollars. President Trump is right, let this damn thing explode. What the Republicans should be doing is taking steps to defund this trillion of dollars away from free loaders including insurance companies. It cannot stand alone without that trillions poured in.
John McCain is dead to me.
... and death: USS Forrestal (CV-59): 134 dead.
But who cares? The Admiral’s son got the military career he needed for his resume to fuel his future political racketeering.
Yeah, hero.
