Senator John McCain has been one of the strongest Republican voices in Congress opposing the conservative efforts to repeal, defund, or delay Obamacare. He took to the Senate floor on Tuesday to continue pressing that point, as well as scolding Congress and saying they should all be “ashamed” for allowing the government shutdown to keep going.
McCain was set off by the news that during the shutdown, military benefits are being held up. He said Congress is so unpopular that “we’re down to blood relatives and paid staffers” at this point, asking his colleagues, “Shouldn’t we be embarrassed about this? Shouldn’t we be ashamed?”
McCain called for both sides to “sit down and talk like grown-ups,” and proceeded to revisit exactly why he hasn’t been going along with the conservative fight on Obamacare.
“Somehow, to think that we are going to repeal Obamacare, which would have required 67 Republican votes, of course, was a false premise, and I think did the American people a great disservice by convincing them that somehow we could.”
He also addressed much of the cross-party and intra-party fighting going on in Washington, saying, “Stop attacking each other and impugning people’s integrity and honor!”

NO. It's John McCain being the RINO that he always was.
McCain needs to go home sit down and eat his 3 jars of Gerber’s peas and carrots, change his depends, apply his hemorrhoid cream,drink his Mira-Lax with his scotch, take his boner pills, put on his Sponge Bob Squarepants jammies and stay the hell home.
It embarrasses the crap out of me that the voters of Arizona keep electing this brie eating surrender monkey.
McCain is delusional. The government is not shut down. A few hundred thousand over paid leeches are on vacation for a couple of weeks until the Feds crank up the new higher speed money making printing presses.
Soros owns the old sock puppet. He does as he’s told. He wouldn’t be able to function without his orders.
Go away old man.
I think McCain has or had some Soros political campaign funds in his political war chest. I often wondered if Palin knew anything about his.
McCain has devolved into a total embarrassment. Can’t some Arizona Freepers PLEASE start a recall petition?
This tired, old POS should be publicly embarrassed every time he opens his mouth.
McCain is owned by George Soros:

McCain should be in jail! He’s violating his oath of office by pushing amnesty and not upholding the Constitution rule of law.
Actually McCain, I AM embarrassed..for the people of Arizona..to have this piece of crap representing their state..McCain is proof that term limits are needed, badly
Video may be slow but article available. States fighting Obamacare....the you got to read it stuff.
Yes, you should. Why did it take a freshman to have the courage to stand in the Commie in Chief's way when the rest of you useless piles of shit were trying to grease the rails for tyranny? How did you let it get this far in the first place, in fact?
Why don't you personally ever speak the truth, or side with the people, instead of totalitarians trying to enslave those they vowed to SERVE???
This man
*graduated at the bottom of his class at the Naval Academy,
*was flunked in flight school but was given a pass because his father was an admiral,
*was responsible for the awful fire and explosions on the carrier USS Forestal that left 168 dead,
*crashed 5 planes as a reckless hot-shot Navy brat incompetent pilot,
*brain damaged as a POW in Vietnam
*married his wife when he was 44 and she was 26
*told his wife to dye her hair grey so he wouldn’t look like her father
*assumed control of his wife’s inherited fortune from mafia controlled liquor distribution
*is reelected with the aid of democrat crossover voters in AZ primaries and with the wife’s inherited fortune
Summary: He is a Brain Damaged Scumbag.
Verdict: Sympathy for his suffering as a POW, disgust with his air of self-importance as a US Senator.
It cost him $20 a vote, money contributed by conservative who held their nose and sent him money because they believed him to be marginally better than the Commie in Chief. He sat on their money, threw the election, then used conservatives’ money to keep a conservative out of the Senate and his useless pile-of-crap self in.
McCain’s 2008 POTUS candidacy was the false premise that got us into this disaster.
Yes.
