McCain Nudges Obama Toward His Party’s Health Plans (RINOcare rising from the ashes of Obamacare?)

Of course they are good ideas. But why does he propose them now? It's not like he just arrived in the U.S. Congress yesterday.

And McCain isn't the only one.
Nine out of ten of these S.O.B.s talk a good game in an election year.

"I’m no fan of McCain, but it looks like he’s suggesting Obama-style bipartisanship here. In other words, agree with our point of view or go pound sand."


Agreed, it might help if more people would actually read what is being suggested before reacting.

ya know, i read thru some of the comments here, and must simply say that i dont give a ratsazz what ole juan *says*, beit conservative, commie or anything in between...

simply put, he is a backstabbing POS that will undermine my family and really piss me off, therefore he should go to the desert and STFU...period...

when and if some sanity returns to the toilet bowl called D.C. I would appreciate a simple gutting of the the monster and deregulation of free markets...

until then, again, STFU juan...

[dalereed]

McCain can go straight to hell with his half assed obamacare!!!!

Dear Juan:
Can you just PLEASE go away and retire somewhere??? Can you STOP stabbing us in the back for just once?

Good lord, enough already from this man...Does he just not get it, or is he seriously one of “them”?

I’m just simply flabbergasted by this guy any more...

Do you really think 0bama is going to go for a $5,000 tax credit for people to buy their own health insurance?

Do people actually know what McCain’s Health plan was (endorsedby CATO last year)?

[Perdogg]

the problem is people do not know what the plan actual was. As long as they can bash McCain they are not interested.

[Gilbo_3]

I dont care what juan proposes or plans for his PR BS...facts and history prove he will screw us one way or another...

govzilla needs to get the hell outta the way, not keep 'fixin' things...period...

[Gilbo_3]

Ive come to believe that ole juan has been turned...either extorted, mind gamed while in captivity, or simple greed...doesnt matter, the end result is the same, hes workin against FReedom...

[NFHale]

“...mind gamed while in captivity...”

You’re not alone on that one, bud...I’ve thought similarly on it.

The russians/chicoms were experts at brainwashing and Pavlovian conditioning human subjects, and there were NO limits on what they would/wouldn’t do.

Reagan had it right: Communism truly is “the Evil Empire” - still.

[sickoflibs]

What kind of deal could Mccain get that would be acceptable to both us and dems? Nothing I can think of.

[Gilbo_3]

im not even concerned with any of their deals...Im concerned that they simply back the eff off and quit meddlin in my day to day affairs thru taxation, regulation, fees, fines, handouts etc ad nauseum...

the best 'deal' juan or any other suit in the toilet bowl could propose is still another turd that needs flushed imo...

[Impy]

If McCain were president right now some watered-down RINOcare would likely be law already. And it’s likely congressional Republicans would be facing extinction.

Come on, Rabscuttle. McCain’s suggestions here are improvements. If we could get these through they’d make a big difference for America and Americans - to the positive.

I am not his fan, but JM’s right on this one.
