Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) said Sunday that it was time to start over on the health care debate - and that Republicans would be willing to try to meet common ground with Democrats on several key issues.
Appearing on CBS's "Face the Nation," McCain said Republicans should "say we'd be willing to start over from the beginning," saying the party would like to address malpractice reform, and transportability of coverage across state lines.
"There are many things we can do," McCain suggested.

One thing we can do is elect Hayworth to McCain’s spot.

McCain doesn’t want to immediately and permanently kill healthcare in one shot. He wants to drag the process out. It is time for him to go home.

McCain needs to be told:
John, No MORE! We don’t want Government health care reform. Just leave us alone to live out our lives as free from Government intrusiveness as possible.

Maybe this flaming Ahole can name it the “McCain Health Care Act” in honor of himself - evidently the only thing on this earth he cares about (besides depriving us of our first amendment rights). >:-(

Damn. When will it (McCain presuming to speak for America/GOP) end?!

McCain is a complete doofus. Republicans have been completely shut out of the healthcare debate. DeMint's amendment and others have all failed.
This sad sack of horse crap needs to retire or lose to JD.

Maybe a health care bailout then Obozo can simply take control of that too.

Having some sort of health care agenda is by no means bad.
Making McCain the pointman for it or any of the GOP agenda is insane.
Depending on this JD Hayworth guy to save us from McCain may not be such a good idea either.

Nothing wrong with fixing a few things that will make our health care system more affordable as long as the government doesn’t try to control it or take it over like the Democrats want.

How about we close the door on McCain and all those who refuse to listen to their constituents.
