“Thanks Rand Paul. For nothing.”
Like I said, there’s an endless supply of paid off GOPe prepared to throw in a no” vote if needed to protect ACA. If it wasn’t McCain, it would be some other swamp RINO paid off by the health insurance lobbies. AND if by some fluke the Graham bill does get passed, it doesn’t repeal anything anyway, so the swamp wins either way.
So why on earth do you pick on the one Senator that voted “no”
from conservative principles? Rand Paul is not the enemy here.
I would have thought my position was self evident. McCain is a Trump-hating backstabber. I’ve had serious questions about his IQ from long before he developed cancer. I think there’s something of the reptilian mindset at work in him.
The others opposing repeal are RINO liberal Swampers. They’re probably not Mensa either.
Paul is supposed to be both conservative and smarter than a sack of hammers. When he votes to keep Obamacare for us (but not for him) it’s a genuine betrayal. Unless he’s been putting on a good show and his IQ is actually around 80, he should be able to reason his way through the practical facts of this situation. For him to place his moral purity above the nightmare of saddling us with Obamacare forever *disgusts* me—and I only used that word because I couldn’t offhand think of a stronger one..
When McCain and his fellow Swampers betray the base, it’s the wound of an enemy. It’s entirely expected. When a person who ***claims*** to be a friend inflicts the wound, it’s sickening.
Paul can take his moral purity and cohabitate with it. I just wish he could do so outside the Senate.
