Congress pushes bill to improve health care…in Mexico! McCain strikes again!

What would Americans think, then, of a member of Congress who introduced legislation, not to improve health care in the United States, but to improve health care in Mexico?Insane? Drunk? Unworthy of public office?

What would Americans think, then, of a bill introduced in Congress that required federal agencies to come up with a plan, not to expand health coverage in the United States, but to expand health coverage in Mexico? Impossible? Unthinkable? Wildly irresponsible?

What would Americans think, then, of the motives of a senator, who not only introduced a bill to improve Mexico’s health care system andextend coverage to a growing population of 120 million people, but gave health insurance companies the right to help devise the plan?Blatantly corrupt? Grossly indifferent to the well-being of the American people? Downright treasonous?

Unbelievable as it may seem, the Secure America and Orderly Immigration Act of 2005 contained a provision giving insurance companies the right to help devise a plan for extending US health care to Mexico (Sec. 1004. BINATIONAL PUBLIC HEALTH INFRASTRUCTURE AND HEALTH INSURANCE).

Even more unbelievable, the senator who sponsored the bill is not on the verge of being thrown out of office for this odious piece of legislation. No, the senator who introduced the bill, Senator John McCain of Arizona, was on the verge of locking up the Republican nomination to be our next president

Yes it does. Especially with all of his posturing over obamacare. It’s funny, I’d forgotten about this until I started looking for something else on the search on my blog.

There is SO much bad about McCain that it’s impossible to keep track of it.

HOW MCCAIN DEFEATED MCCAIN
AS IS SEE IT McC surrendered his campaign to pukeneos----The Everything-For-Us-Nothing-For-Conservatives---- crowd. Characterized by pukes kicking to the curb the party's crucial conservative base, and, the pukes obsessive religious cleansing of the Repub Party.

McC could not comprehend (and/or did not particularly care) his pukeneo associations were a huge turnoff to the crucial conservative base.

I though I'd crackup when McC whined on TV, "Obama broke his promise to me" (about campaign finance). Un-figging-believable that McC actually believed a Dem would keep his promise.

Even worse, McC did not comprehend his public griping made him look like a naive tool of Obama. Not a very inspiring presidential picture there.

I sometimes wish there was an extra line under the candidate's name so that voters could write in why they are voting for him and why they are not. Except I'd need about 10 lines to tell McC.

=============================================

ACADEMY AWARD FOR BEST 2009 ELECTION NIGHT ACT Smirking little puke-jerk---Fox pundit Billy Kristol---putting on his old reliable "I Know Nothing About This Republican Disaster" act.

AS FREEPER TADSLOS COGENTLY POSTED: "People forget that candy-ass Kristol, and his crony, metro-sexual Brooks are the original makeover artists for McCain post-2000. They are McC's original groomers and media switch operators. For Kristol to be urging McCain (to fire his staff as McC's numbers dived) to start all over at the 11th hour belies how ill conceived, advised, equipped and poorly managed McC's campaign continued to be. But then, I expect as much from a Republican candidate made up from Kristol’s and Brooks’ bolt of whole cloth."

===============================

THE GHOULIANI/LIEBERMAN TURNOFF Conservatives were incensed that McCain allowed himself to be duped by conservative-hating pukeneos and RINOS (making the same mistakes as Bush). The sight of pukeneo stooges and gay/abortion worshippers---Lieberman and RINO Rooty Ghouliani---dominating McC was nauseating. The idea that these suckers would be active and visible in our government for another 4-8 years was a huge turnoff for conservatives.

==========================================

Why McCain Lost / American Thinker---McCain was an awful candidate. He is not a good speaker, he was too old to convince anyone he would change anything, he was constantly crowing how he would "take on" his own party; he was for cap and trade, amnesty, and knew nothing about the economy.

It isn’t hard to pinpoint when the whole bottom fell out for McCain. He was on a little roll after picking Palin. When the economic crisis hit, he made a big deal about going back to DC and suspending his campaign. Then he asked Obama to do the same. Obama laughed at him and McCain looked the old fool, because he did nothing.

What made matters worse, he voted for the pork-laden bailout of Wall Street when he didn’t have to. If he had stood strong against it, he could have looked like the winning maverick.

McCain was his own worst enemy. He is why he lost. Had nothing to do with Palin or the voters.
