Democrats shouldn't expect much cooperation from Republicans the rest of this year, Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) warned Monday.
McCain and another Republican senator decried the effect health reform legislation has had on the Senate, a day after the House passed the upper chamber's bill.
GOP senators emerged Monday to warn that the health debate had taken a toll on the institution, and warning of little work between parties the rest of this year.
"There will be no cooperation for the rest of the year," McCain said during an interview Monday on an Arizona radio affiliate. "They have poisoned the well in what they've done and how they've done it."

I would believe this if it was said by the real Dr. No, Sen Coburn from Oklahoma.
If he doesn’t hold everything up like he said he would then it is time for Dr. Coburn to leave.
This from the most,”COOPERATIVE,” one in congress. From hero to hack in less then a lifetime!
Yeah, right. That’ll last right up until they start talking about amnesty, then Juan will wet himself, in his hurry to sign on.
Benedict McCain speaks. How’s that reaching across the isle thingy working out for ya senator?
But next year if he gets re-elected? Who knows?
thanks, John, once again, for telling us what we already knew and and what you yourself , know it or not, helped bring about.
McCain left the lid off the well!!
Apparently McCain is the only pub that’s being quoted today. This must be the 3rd or 4th article on MCain and his reaction I’ne seen today.
McCain, if you and the republicans had acted like leaders from 2000-2008 instead of amnesty-lusting, big-spending, aisle-reachers, MAYBE you wouldn’t have been kicked out of the majority.
As long as we have democrat-lite’s like you, Snowe, Collins, Voinovich, Graham, Hatch, etc. etc. the democrats stand a very good chance of keeping key districts and states.
John, perhaps it’s just time for you to fade quietly into the sunset. And take your fellow RINO’s with you.
Satah Palin, are you listening??
And AZ voters continue to snore.....zzzzz...
Amen!
Vote them out in the primaries.
It is a sin they are so many conservative states with liberal dim senators or RINO’s.
I can stand RINO’s in liberal states only (if we have enough conservatives from conservative states to keep them in line)
“shouldn’t expect much cooperation”? His quote should have been “absolutely NO cooperation”!!
Yea, let’s see if he puts his standards where is mouth is.
Juan will be back down on his knees blowing all the rats lickety split. It’s what he DOES.
Jus’ sayin’.
Yes, what he really means is, No more cooperation from us, once we get amnesty through.
Actually, they do. With Brown on board the GOP can stop everything. He was too late for health care since he won after the Senate already passed the bill. If he had won in say November this wouldn’t have happened. So, McCain is right that the GOP can stop cap and trade amd immigration and make sure nothign else of consequence passes. It was just too late on the health care issue.
For the love of Pete! As soon as blanket amnesty is proposed Juan will be the first to push that boat out. He’s becoming more and more a parody of himself...I’m not sure what.
TOO LITTLE, TOO LATE JOHNNY BOY! Shoulda found your mouth when you were running...
Got that, Juan?
When I (George Stephanopoulos) asked John McCain what he would say to his old friend Ted Kennedy this morning, he smiled and said "Congratulations."

I have the worst headache right now from thinking about all of this. Anyone got the number to call to get an appointment with a GovDoc? Hopefully they'll have some time open in 2013 or so.
The only comfort I take from this is that I refused to vote for this backstabbing little weasel of a "man".
