Report: McCain Wants Congress to Pass ‘Gang of Eight’ Amnesty Bill When He Returns
Breitbart ^ | 08/03/2017 | by Tony Lee 

Posted on 08/04/2017 6:20:10 AM PDT by Rusty0604

According to The Arizona Republic, McCain, before leaving Washington to get cancer treatments in Arizona, reportedly spoke to Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) about joining forces again to pass the “Gang of Eight” bill. After joining Sens. Susan Collins (R-ME) and Lisa Murkowski (R-AK) to defeat the GOP’s “skinny repeal” of Obamacare, McCain, who has always wanted to be known as a straight-talking independent, was lionized by Democrats and the legacy media, with CNN paying homage to his “maverick moment.”

Referring to the “Gang of Eight” bill, McCain told the Republic on Thursday that he wanted “to reintroduce the same package that was passed through the United States Senate and never taken up in the House.”

“Immigration reform is one of the issues I’d like to see resolved,” McCain reportedly added. “I’ve got to talk to him (Schumer) about when would be the best time. I think there are all kinds of deals to be made out there. I really do.”

According to the Republic, McCain, “who turns 81 on Aug. 29,” is “in a more reflective place in his long Senate career as he faces” his “serious health challenge and undergoes chemotherapy.”

What a freakin psycho. What this Arizona psycho is going to push for along with Linda Graham is to have gang of eight type amnesty passed as a gesture to the DYING LION OF THE SENATE. Same as Ted Kennedy got some of his crap passed as he was checking out of this earthly plane. He was also called the Lion of The Senate.

I will refrain from cursing

I asked, and the answer was: Because we stopped shooting at Congressmen.

The way to nuder McCain and a few others is to win enough Senate seats in 2018 to make his just another vote that is not needed this can be done with the dimwits defending so many seats in states that Trump won

An appeal to pity (also called argumentum ad misericordiam, the sob story, or the Galileo argument) is a fallacy in which someone tries to win support for an argument or idea by exploiting his or her opponent’s feelings of pity or guilt. It is a specific kind of appeal to emotion.

Just die Juan. You aren’t president. We elected Trump, not your senate gallery of Public Enemies.

I’ve seen a friend die from glioblastoma. I’ll be surprised if McCain returns after the recess.

Interesting that he spoke to Schumer and not McConnell. Guess he wants to start with his allies first.

What a sad and pathetic way to come to the end of life. Full of rage,hatred, and wanting revenge.

He needs to find the Lord.

The Cheap Labor Express is not giving up.

Flimsey Grahamnesty has told us that they WILL abandon the rule of law if we do not remove the Amnesty Senators from office.

Corker, Hatch, Heller and Flake in 2018

Graham and Alexander in 2020

Murkowsky, Hoeven and Rubio in 2022

God is going to term limit McCain

That friendly conversation he had with Schumer right before he voted for obamacare was probably when it happened.

McCain is pushing this bill because it no doubt will have his name placed on it as an everlasting "memorial" to his wonderful service. He thinks it will be solemnly passed in gratefulness to him and thankful generations to come will revere his name and wonderful statesmanship as an American Hero. It will be his shining legacy to crown his unique career and boundless foresight and courage.

This man has learned nothing from his years in captivity.

Hopefully, McCain won’t return. He has done enough damage to this country.

Just what republicans need, keep Obamacare and pass amnesty when the American people voted for a wall.

Ask yourselves WHY?


They want to be the minority party while the Democrats install a European style social welfare state.
