McCain: Obama could cave and repeal healthcare
The Hill, Washington, DC ^ | 2010-03-30 | Eric Zimmermann

Political pressure might become so intense that President Obama would agree to repeal major portions of the healthcare bill he signed into law recently, Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) said today.

Even if Republicans win Congress in 2010, Obama could veto any legislation repealing healthcare reform. But McCain suggested the public might feel so strongly that Obama would cave.

"If the intensity level is as high as it is, I can draw you a scenario where the president would be forced to repeal or really replace it with the provisions [Republicans] wanted," McCain said in an interview with KFYI 550.

ALWAYS THE SELECTIVE EDITING.......

At the very least, Republicans could refuse to fund healthcare, the Arizona Republican added.

“You could basically repeal major provisions of it” by refusing to fund them, McCain said.

Um, no.

Unless you have 2/3 of both houses of Congress, any attempt to repeal the law while Obama is President is just empty grandstanding.

John McCain is dirtbag moron who is not supported by FR.

So why is it that all of a sudden every word he speaks has to be posted here? The McCain threads are becoming almost as prolific now as they were during the run-up to the '08 election.

98% of Freepers want Hayworth to win the primary. So, why all the bandwidth to state McCain's every utterance?

It's so the Paulbots can revel in their juvenile forms of mental masturbation.

Rabadash The poster has no job, no hope of a girlfriend, so what else is he going to do with his free time but cause trouble here for Ron Paul?

Duu-uuuh......

Exactly, Allegra, amd I don’t give a rip about McCain, only when the PAULTARD tries to trash Sarah, but since I often post articles from THE HILL I couldn’t help but to notice the selective editing again... meant to enhance the flaming!!!

It is unfortunately the case that a number of RINOs are under McCain’s tutelage, which won’t go away even if McCain does not make it to another incumbent candidacy.

So there are worse things than keeping an eye on John M.

John, you could not be more wrong....and you have been REALLY, REALLY WRONG about a whole lot of things over the years! I think at this point Barack realizes that either he is on a Kamakaze Mission that is going to end on Jan. 20, 2013, and is out to wreak as much havoc as possible before then.

McCain’s foolishness is becoming downright dangerous.
He needs to be retired this year.

McCain is an evil Trojan horse. The Dems control the Congress and White House thanks to McCain-Feingold.

Keeping an eye on the enemy is one thing and I support that.

Spamming and implementing New York Times-style editing in support of an unsavory agenda is another.
