John McCain: Obamacare fight ‘a fool’s errand’
Politico ^ | October 10, 2013 | JOSE DELREAL

Sen. John McCain said Wednesday that there was never a chance of defunding Obamacare, blaming politicians who said it was possible for the current government shutdown. “We started this on a fool’s errand, convincing so many millions of Americans and our supporters that we could defund Obamacare,” McCain (R-Ariz.) told Wolf Blitzer on CNN. “[That] obviously wouldn’t happen until we had 67 Republican senators to override a presidential veto.”

[snip] “[It was] the people that convinced so many millions of Americans, tea partiers specifically we’re talking about, that there was some way to defund Obamacare. We can’t,” McCain said.

I agree wholeheartedly with your points. McCain is a screaming cowardly deserter, a fowl traitor to this nation, fleeing the battle that the Tea Parties are waging in an attempt to save the dregs of this republic from the fascist democRats and RINO quislings. The disgusting fools and criminals who are destroying what remains, and condemning our children for generations to come from tyrannical misery, and/or eventual bloody CWIII.

Judging by the number of posts, it looks like John is fading into irrelevancy.

Since we’re talking about doddering old stooges: Why is the media ignoring Harry Reid and his feeble faltering, near-collapse after leaving the microphone yesterday? Someone reached out to steady him and prevent him from buckling to the ground.

McCain keeps defending CommieObammieKare because he hopes it will give him some free mental health treatments. Senator, may we suggest you try prayer ? You should get a good long rest, too. For that, you can retire.

For the love of God, somebody put this old coot in a home...preferably one where he can’t get out.

His cheese has clearly slipped off the cracker.

Ultimately, Obamacare is going down. How do I know? Because the Administration stopped referring to it as “Obamacare” and started calling it the “Affordable Care Act” again.

The best thing to remember as one reads this is that John McCain will soon be gone. Younger, brighter men with less baggage than this publicity hound will take his place, and the nation will be better for it. It is hard to forgive voters in AZ for allowing this lousy character to soil our government for so many years, however.

I think McCAin is looking to score points with the cute obamadome chicks at the bar. These RINO suck ups want to be cool so bad.

If that's what he really thinks, why isn't he leading the fight? He's demonstrated beyond any doubt that he's one of the biggest fools on the Republican side of the aisle.
