Democrats shouldn't expect much cooperation from Republicans the rest of this year, Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) warned Monday.
McCain and another Republican senator decried the effect health reform legislation has had on the Senate, a day after the House passed the upper chamber's bill.
GOP senators emerged Monday to warn that the health debate had taken a toll on the institution, and warning of little work between parties the rest of this year.
"There will be no cooperation for the rest of the year," McCain said during an interview Monday on an Arizona radio affiliate. "They have poisoned the well in what they've done and how they've done it."

Dear juan
And the horse you rode in on.
Yeah, Juan, you might wanna have a little confab with your toetapping buddy Lindsey about that.
McCain has never understood that Congressional legislation is not about the a belovedly bipartisan process or being careful not to hurt colleagues’ feelings. It is about elected representatives doing the best for the country as they and their constituents understand it.
Oh boy!!! Thanks john for being so outspoken.
McCain doesn’t get it. The Dems don’t need Republican “cooperation.” In their eyes, they now rule the world and can do whatever the he!! they want.
And after all this time, he still hasn’t figured out that “cooperation” in the Democrats’ view, means “capitulation.” All that “cooperation” has produced the mess we have now.
IIRC, it was McRat who said we didn’t have to be afraid of the usurper.
John,
Point is - they don’t need our cooperation. We lost.
Hey you big phoney—sit down and shut up! We are sick of the likes of you and Newt—go away!
I’ll bet they’re really scared now.
I wonder if he’s going to tell his buddy Grahamnesty....(eyes roling)
So, what he’s saying is that Obama can count on his support for that whole “Amnesty for Illegals” thing?
Right. That will not last very long. I give him six weeks until he’s sucking up to the ‘rats again...
McCain has been poisoning the GOP well for years. What a creep!
McCain is running to the right because he’s scared in the GOP primary. His lackey, Lindsey Graham, is still piking for amnesty and closing Gitmo while McCain winks from the sideline.
The Party of NO sounds pretty good to me.
Yep! We can count on McCain! (Unless immigration reform is next)
“Democrats shouldn’t expect much cooperation from Republicans the rest of this year.”
Bwaaaahahaha!
That’ll teach ‘em.
You useless putz!
More proof that Republicans have no testicles.
The Grand Manless Party.
No, Juan. YOU FRIGGIN’ POISONED THE WELL LONG AGO!
The Federal Government did not keep its promises in many areas. In the promises concerning Social Security cost and obligations they did not keep faith. The promises surrounding the cost of Medicare have not been honored. I could go on and on and on. Therefore I purpose that our obligations to them should be treated as their obligations to us.
Congressional retires should lose all of their future retirement benefits.
They have done it to us. There is very little pain in being sent home by your constituents when 90% if their pay stays the same. Lets send them home without a golden parachute. If they can ignore their promises and obligations why can't we? What gives their claim superiority over ours?
I think we should look for Conservatives that will go to Washington and pass legislation that will cancel all retirement benefits for retired Federal legislators. It will take the same metal exhibited by some in Congress this week, although I doubt that the people will be very offended by this.
