McCain’s Odd Definition of ‘Leading the Fight to Stop Obamacare’
National RTeview ^ | July 28, 2017 | Jim Geraghty

Posted on 07/28/2017 9:41:23 AM PDT by McGruff

May 2016: A John McCain reelection campaign ad, airing in Arizona:

Obamacare is failing Arizonans. First, a massive rate hike more than twice the national average. Then, America’s largest health insurer abandoned Arizona’s failing Obamacare exchange. That’s devastating – especially to rural counties. Congresswoman Ann Kirkpatrick bragged about her Obamacare vote, saying “it’s also the one I’m most proud about..” While Kirkpatrick’s “proud” of putting us at risk, John McCain is leading the fight to stop Obamacare.

Plenty of other McCain ads and campaign events and messaging pointed to stopping Obamacare as a big reason, perhaps the biggest reason, Arizonans needed to return him to the Senate.

Then, last night, push came to shove. The options were clear: vote for “skinny repeal” and get that version of the repeal bill to conference committee with the House of Representatives, where negotiators from the House and Senate could revise the bill further, or vote it down and effectively end the process, as no version of repeal legislation could reach 50 votes.

His personal grudge against Trump is going to kill Americans.

McCain is nothing more than an attendant of Fedzilla.

Like most of his colleagues.

Alexander, Corker, Flake, Gardner, Graham, Hatch, Heller, Hoeven, Murkowsky, McCain, Rubio, Burr, Tillis, Portman, McConnell, Thune, Cornyn, Cochran, Isackson, Blunt, Johnson, Toomey, Capito, Rounds, Fischer, Collins, Wicker, Sasse, Ernst and Shelby are all Democrats in R jerseys.

The lying sack of s**t also promised to build the “damn fence” after Bob Krenz was murdered in 2010.

He’s done exactly the opposite.

He’s a sick psycho who enjoys toying with people who trust him as anyone can see from his behavior and his history in the military.

The real JOKE is that Deep State McCain IS EXEMPT FROM OBAMACARE!

GFY AND FU JOHN MCCAIN. He is nothing more than a SPY for the Deep State, spying on the Republican party and SABOTAGING TRUMP'S AGENDA!!!

If McCain had Obamacare, HE'D STILL BE IN THE HOSPITAL AWAITING HIS DIAGNOSIS.

Wasn’t McCain all for a border wall during one of election campaigns too?

His “killing of Americans” began long before any kind of Trump entering elective politics. He and Hillary were the major movers for ousting Qaddafi as well as the subsequent gun running out of Benghazi.

That's the definition of "politician," and ironically, "judge."

McCain will not face reelection, so he “courageously” took one for the rinos in the Senate. Make no mistake, in the halls of Congress, McCain is a hero today. In actuality, this argument that the “repeal” bill isn’t pure enough, is the game the Republicans intend to hang their reelection on. It will be, “We’re trying, but we need the right bill.” Which will never occur.

As of midnight this morning, I’m all done with McCain. I’ll never look at him the same way again. There’s nothing he can say now that could adequately explain his reasoning for not getting behind at least the cancellation of the ACA’s individual mandate. McCain, you stink!..and from now on, the only thing I want to read about you is your obituary.

The RINOs and the GOPe NEVER had any intention of repealing ocare--never. Somehow we're ALWAYs one vote short of stopping the megastate,

This BS should be laid at the feet of yurtle the turtle.

Larry Elders keeps playing McCain’s ad where he promises to repeal Obamacare. I think it is his personal grudge, too.
