Senate 'skinny repeal' of Obamacare falls apart on Senate floor after McCain defects
Yahoo ^ | July 28, 2017 | Liz Goodwin and Andrew Bahl

Posted on 07/28/2017 2:30:40 AM PDT by C19fan

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell’s bid to pass a stripped down repeal of Obamacare on a party-line vote failed dramatically in the early hours of Friday when Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., joined two other Republican holdouts and all the Democrats to vote against the measure.

The other two traitors of course were the hags from Maine and Alaska.

McCain did this just for the media coverage. The man is truly a snake.

John McCain to Conservative Talk Radio: 'To Hell With Them!'

He just blamed conservatives, talk radio, and Trump for not getting things done, and in the next sentence, he wants to "get help from across the aisle" - aka - DEMOCRATS!

There is something evil about John McCain. He has the character of a gnat. Anyone who would divorce his physically disabled wife, who stood by him during his military career and time as a POW, so he could be free to chase poon tang (which he did) is a disgrace.

The media never talk about that, but it is 100% true.

So, “Wet Start Johnny McCain”, who started his naval career with the killing of members of the crew of the USS Forrestal by his direct actions, ends his career by killing more Americans. One time within the coziness of his paid-by-us jet ‘s cockpit, and the other in an excursion from the coziness of HIS premium-paid-for-by-us hospital care quarters.

May you have your former captors as bunkmates where you belong, Johnny.

These people were probably against the reforming (or the eventual abolition) of collective farms in the former Soviet Union.

Some people in his situation would use their remainng time to be with family. He decides to live a bitter, angry life doing as much damage as possible.

The Democrat loving media in Miami is playing the moment Juan McInsane cast his traitorous vote as a great moment. He stands there, the whole Senate is silently watching, and he gives a thumbs down.

Some hack female Senator at the far end of the room starts to applaud.

I wanted to hurl an ashtray at the screen. What a pompous jerk. And a liar.

DEMOCRATS OWN OBAMACARE! DEMOCRATS OWN OBAMACARE! Don’t forget that. When it collapses, and it will, it will be their fault (except of course CNN and the others will blame Republicans for not fixing it).

Some of the blame for this lies with Cornyn as well as McConnell. It is their job to get things like this through, but they failed. Both should be removed.

I have to say one good thing about Juan McAmnesty. Once he is bought buy the special interest he stays bought.

Ones like John McCain probably keep a small minimum of (if anything) their money and wealth in North America to begin with. And that very likely also applies to the donor class that they are all behoove to. All of this very similar to what it was like in the Soviet Union (my Dad once telling me about how Brezhnev had a car collection and they certainly were not Ladas).

Don’t forget how he treated the families of POW-MIA, also. The “classic” YouTube of one Senate hearing is out there for all to see. As an aside, Senator Bob Smith (R-NH) chaired that committee. I always thought that Smith was an honorable man. Of course, the leadership primaried him for refusing to go along to get along. What a contrast with McCain.

The Uniparty does not care about:

- The young people like my son, daughters and sons-in-law who are trying to start out and build their lives; the current system will continue to squeeze and burn them, and no one gives a damn

- Families who WORK who are paying outrageous premiums, copays, and deductibles; the system can just keep sucking them dry

But the Uniparty bows down to:

- The Takers

- The Health Industry and their lobbyist who give big money to the Uniparty, and in turn, reap Trillions back from a corrupt system
