Arizona Sen. John McCain insists his vote against a GOP plan to repeal ObamaCare is not payback for Donald Trump demeaning the former POW’s heroism during the Vietnam War when the president remarked, “I like people who weren’t captured.”
“If I took offense at everybody who has said something about me, or disparaged me or something like that — life is too short. You’ve got to move on,” McCain, a Navy pilot who spent more than five years in a North Vietnamese prison, told CBS’s “60 Minutes” in an interviewed that aired Sunday.
“And on an issue of this importance to the nation, for me to worry about a personal relationship, then I’m not doing my job,” the senator added. see also McCain deals potential death blow to GOP health bill McCain deals potential death blow to GOP health bill
McCain, the Republican presidential nominee in 2008, said the president has never apologized to him for making the caustic comments in July 2015, a gesture that would help repair the ongoing feud between the two.
But McCain said they are ”different people,” with a “different upbringing” and “different life experiences.”
“He is in the business of making money and he has been successful both in television as well as Miss America and others,” McCain said in the interview that aired on Sunday. “I was raised in a military family. I was raised in the concept and belief that duty, honor, country is the — is the lodestar for the behavior that we have to exhibit every single day.”
“I don’t know what he’s going to do tomorrow … or say tomorrow,” he said of Trump. “He changes his statements almost on a daily basis. So for me to spend my time trying to analyze what he says, I don’t know.”

His grave will be covered by gallons of urine provided by we who look forward to showing him our “respect”.
CORRECTION:
Thanks to McDork and Maine's queen of infanticide, Suise Collins, the term “senator” is analogous to “pond scum”.
Their graves will be covered by gallons of urine provided by we who look forward to showering them our “respect”.
Mr. McCain....People never dreamt that you would scr** up the repeal and replace vote. You’re as bitter a loser as Hillary.
Right or wrong, THAT IS PRECISELY WHY McCain is against everything Trump is for now.
McCain could care less. He's on a personal vendetta against Trump.
McCain will be gone before Trump goes.
McCain, the civilian in the vest that says, shut it down. That is 100% McCain! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QLv8hog_1bo
The man needed a presidental pardon to keep him out of jail !
GREENFIELD: MCCAINCARE The dishonorable Senator from Arizona
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-bloggers/3588753/posts
All one needs to know is MCCain would have been kicked out of the Naval Academy if his grandfather and father weren’t admirals. McCain was responsible for the destruction of 5 naval aircraft. Again he would have been kicked out of flight training except for his heritage. McCain has exhibited behavior that indicates major character flaws. Enough so to cause one to wonder about his behavior in the Hanoi Hilton.
He hasn’t received an apology but he doesn’t hold a grudge.
OK, John - that makes sense! I’ve already posted on another thread that is his sole reason for his upcoming NO vote on the repeal/replace. Does he really think the majority of Americans are as dumb as the Arizona voters? From last count, it looks like he could make himself LOOK good by voting YAY as there seems to be enough NO votes without his...
He’s talking too much. Trying to convince us of what exactly? Kind of like the people who want to tell you what good Christians they are. They don’t realize that if their behavior reflects being a good Christian, there’s no need to tell anyone.
Oh FU you egotistical crybaby
Cant happen soon enough
DIE ALREADY!!
Sure. I can understand that.
Instead, McCain killed the Obamacare repeal/replace twice just to spite the voters who voted for him because he promised to dump Obamacare.
Yeah, that's the ticket (said in imitation Jon Lovitz voice)...
Why should he?
Hey McDork, we don’t give a rats butt about your ego, do what is right for the country you pathetic bhole
The devil’s hero.
And nor should he. BTW John...did you ever apologize to the widows, survivors of those killed and those permanently injured on the Forrsetal?
Actually, he never would have gotten in without those connections.
Haven’t you died yet, McLame?
McCain can go to Hxxx, as far as I’m concerned. The ONLY reason I supported him in 2008 is because Sarah Palin was his running mate. Rep. Louie Gohmert had the best suggestion this AM: The people of AZ should recall him to remove his stress and perhaps save his life from cancer so he can heal in peace.
jm, too bad your last days as a bitter loser will forever define your existence.......
