epublican Sen. John McCain is returning to Arizona after spending several days in a Maryland hospital recovering from side effects from chemotherapy treatment for brain cancer, CBS News has learned.
McCain left Washington Sunday and is heading back to his home state to spend the holidays with his family. He will not be on hand for the final vote on the GOP tax passage expected for early this week. It is unclear when McCain might return to Washington.
Despite a razor-thin margin needed to pass the measure, McCain's presence will not likely be the determining factor in the vote. Two critical senators -- Bob Corker of Tennessee and Marco Rubio of Florida -- announced their support for the bill last week after initially saying they would oppose earlier versions.

Yes, it was completely swept under the rug. Although actually it’s likely the original tumor that grew back. Surgeons are famous for saying “we got it all.” Yeah, right.
Or they could be gaming this
Cochran has not worked with a full deck for a long time, Melanoma or not...
He is mentally gone also...just a matter of time for that old dude as well.
We shall see.
He had to go back to get his pink "pussey " hat !
Bring a REAL credit card this time.
Save us all some time.
K Street wants the corporate tax cuts in bill. Rubio and Corker won’t betray them.
Yup. I went all cash minutes after the GOPe said this was a done deal by Christmas.
McCain never has been a Republican team player.
That should have been done months ago and shows poor planning on McCain's part ... or outright contempt for the country.
John McCain has placed his ego ahead of the country's interests.
I will refrain......
McCain is going home to die.
Well...bye.
Oh shucks........
Not a McLame fan (AT ALL), but there is something seriously wrong with our “system” when Senators or Congress-critters stay in office literally until they die.
Definitely not what our founders intended, and a big part of what is wrong with the way things are and have been for some time.
Now, Juan can leave at any time and I’d be a pretty happy camper. (Let me count the ways I absolutely despise him).
If I recall correctly, years ago there was a custom among gentlemen called “pairing.” If a senator on one side couldn’t be there for the vote, he would “pair” his vote with someone on the other side. Both would be among those not voting, so the outcome would not be affected.
OK I do not unload often but HG prepare.
So your big beef is people that spend their time making posts of interest to Freepers and excerpting them. You claim it is to make them rich. So number one. Numero uno..1# you hate wealth.
Numero 2. What it takes to write a coherent post that isn’t copied and pasted is work. Your posts are one or two sentences with questionable intelligence behind them. Yeah, you are dumb.
Shù 3. You are a jerk. You are a jerk to anyone on a thread you enter. If your mother did not beat you she should have.
Idadi 4. You are dumb as a stump.

Agreed. Sounds like this is nearing the end.

Yes, this is very hard on the family. I may dislike him but do not wish this on anybody.
Well we couldn’t get worse than McCain. He sucks. I hope God is more forgiving than me. McCain has caused so much death and destruction with the Muslim brotherhood and isis. Ban me if they must but I hope he rots from the inside out then rots in hell.
I can’t think of another politician I hate more.
