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.
I have no doubt you and I are on the same side regarding ACA, and that this bunch of RINOs like McCain are paid off liars.
I just disagree with you about Rand Paul. His reasons for voting “no” on this fake repeal bill are different than the RINOs’.
He believes, rightly or wrongly, that if you appease the people by passing a fake repeal bill - it reduces the chance of getting a true repeal, because the political pressure to do so has been artificially lowered by deceiving voters.
He does this on every issue - if the GOP pushes a fake tax reform bill, he’ll oppose that too - it doesn’t mean he doesn’t want to lower taxes - he does. He votes against the RINOs because their bills are RINO bills - Reform In Name Only.
It’s ok if we just disagree on Rand Paul. He’s only one Senator. I’m sure you’ll agree the problem goes a little deeper than any one Senator.
