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.

Thanks, I’ll look for it. Can you give me a Reader’s Digest synopsis of what McCain did and said during that hearing?

Oh, and NOW the sycophant Miami media is running Chuck Schumer’s crocodile tears about McIgnorant’s fake speech.

Media also running some STUPID statement by McTraitor on why he betrayed the nation. Disgusting.

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

Yeah. Guess the “All Hail McCain” moment is over?

McCain is truly the most useless Republican politician of my lifetime — and that’s saying something. How did this useless POS ever manage to get the Republican nomination? Let this latest act of political cowardice be his epitaph.

He verbally abused the witness, because she had made claims that the Pentagon and others where being disingenuous and/or foot dragging with the POW-MIA families. IIRC the woman was on the verge of tears. Everyone should watch.

How soon til McCain is dead and we can take another vote?

If he died today, it would not be soon enough. He was a traitor in Nam, a bribe taker in the Saving and Loan scandal, and a political whore his entire life.

And the two bitches could go to hell with mcpain, and I wouldn't miss them.

Votes have consequences. The swamp is not reckoning the waterfall is just around the corner. It is and we are pissed.

I don’t trust any Senators. They may have known that these three would vote against the bill, giving the rest of them cover so they could say to their constituents that they tried, but it just didn’t pass.

We need a John McCain rule for these threads similar to Scarborough . . . for now on we use the sobriquet John ‘Keating 5’ McCain in every use of his name.

And never forget that every Scarborough mention goes Joe ‘Justice for Lori’ Scarborough.

Priebus and Pence share some of the blame. They were chosen for their respective positions to be advotates in the legislature for DJT’s agenda. If they’ve been spending much time doing that, we’ve heard nothing about that.

And when someone has a verified brain tumor, shouldn’t that disqualify him from voting on life-and-death issues? Would an air traffic controller keep his job under similar circumstances? Doubtful.

There will always be 51 no votes, because the pool of willing volunteers to act as #51 is large.

McCain has brain cancer. NOTHING he says or does should be considered as rational and/or sane. Pull the POS’s luxurious insurance and put the POS on Obamacare....see how he likes it. The man is sick in the head and should be forced to retire from the Senate. He is unfit to serve....period.
The other two hags should be drawn & quartered. And IF we had a real 2-party system, that is exactly what would be done. But since they ALL belong to the UniParty, we tarry forth as a “soft dictatorship” pretending to be a constitutional republic to keep the “unwashed masses” fooled. BTW, the Founding Fathers knew what they were doing when they kept women out of politics....and it had NOTHING to do with being sexist.

Maybe someone can arrange to have him buried next to Jane Fonda. It would save a lot of time for vets later on.

Not soon enough and I don’t wish him well at all. Hell will have to widen itself to take this POS in. Like many others, I look forward to urinating on his grave. He was, and is, a traitor to this country. It’s hard to even imagine this useless POS was ever the nominee for POTUS. He even makes odongo look good.
