WASHINGTON (AP) — Sen. John McCain says President Barack Obama will have to drop proposals for a government-run health insurance option if he hopes to reach congressional agreement on health-care reform.

McCain says many Americans are losing confidence in Obama partly because of concerns about the so-called public option. The Arizona Republican proposed that Obama meet with members of both parties in Congress to find areas of agreement, abandon the public option, and then make clear exactly what he wants in the legislation.

” [says Obama must be more bipartisan] “

No, Mr. McCain - you and your ilk must be *less* bipartisan...

This bill sucks, and it is much deeper than just the public option. The co-op doesn’t help the bill much.

“Bipartisan”?

Only a complete fool would have anything to do with the democrat plan.

Then again McCain was created by the State Media to be the Designated Loser of the Stupid Party.

Just shut up, McCain. You want to help this guy put 99% of his Communist monstrosity through, by reaching across the aisle? Your time is past.

Does Senator Doofus really believe what he's saying, or is this some coy maneuver to show how antagonistic The Thug is and that Doofus doesn't believe for an instant that The Thug will actually take his talking points seriously?

Is this the guy who pretended to run for President for the RINO party? I’ll bet Johnny will agree to the redefined “insurance co-op” option. This (co-op vs public option) is the choice of two puppets from the same puppeteer, or a turd by another name. RINOs seem to be content in their attempt to polish turds to make them more acceptable to the great unwashed.

McCain would greedily eat a great stinking pile of dog excrement if you sprinkle some extract of bipartisanship on it.
