Less Than 24 Hrs After Demanding Return To Regular Order John McCain Votes Against That

[g5000]

I would like to see a link to the actual bill and the vote, please.

You'd probably need a lifetime to read it all

Not so. I've read thousands of bills. And by the sounds of it, the Democratic bill in question was probably just a few paragraphs.

It took Obama 2 YEARS to get Obamacare passed by bribing and threatening his own party.

Actually - they worked on the bill for over a year meeting with representatives from doctors groups, insurance, congress etc. and then stumping around the country selling it to the public, explaining it to the public. You might not agree with it but they worked it.

Big difference from cobbling together last minute crap bills and making NO attempt to educate the public, their constituencies, or the affected industries.

I read somewhere the replacement bill would raise the price of a premium 20% and put 16 million people back on the street with no insurance ...


just like Trump promised !

cheaper, better, insurance more people can afford ... SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO EASY !!!

It sounds a lot better than the last review--100% rise in premiums and 30+ million out of insurance. So that's a big improvement.

John McTumor went against the wishes of the American people. He is a backstabbing traitor, just like he was in Vietnam!

You are a traitor. McCain was a hero in Vietnam. The majority of people oppose the Senate bill. It is people like you who are going against the wishes of the American people. The American people have compassion unlike you.

Heroes don't get shot down and captured by the enemy. Heroes don't set off devastating situations that kill 136 Navy personnel aboard aircraft carriers, namely the USS Forrestal. John McTumor is no hero.

That must be some TardMath™.

January 2009: The Inauguration of President Barack Obama

Wow! Look at the size of that crowd!


March 2010: Obama Signs Health Care Overhaul Into Law

This was said to be "a big fucking deal" at the time.


Day 2,512 Of Our Captivity

And November 2010 was the year that the leftards lost control of the House in an epic defeat of monumental proportions, no?

McCain needs his head examined.

Do you deny they had to bribe people in their own party to get it passed?

it took 6 months for Trump to get his ass kicked and rejected by his OWN party EVERY time he needed a vote.

You really do live in fantasy land lol

Go figure.

Yesterday evening, everyone's favorite do-nothing "maverick" senator made an impassioned speech asking the Senate to cast aside their partisanship and work together, Democrats and Republicans, to pass meaningful healthcare reforms.

For this he was once again feted by the punditry, for reasons that only they can adequately explain.

McCain asked in his speech that the Senate return to "regular order," or as he put it two weeks ago in a similarly-themed press release:

The Congress must now return to regular order, hold hearings, receive input from members of both parties, and heed the recommendations of our nation's governors so that we can produce a bill that finally provides Americans with access to quality and affordable health care.

This afternoon Democrats made a motion to do exactly that—send the health care bill to committee so that both parties could work together on it through regular Senate process rather than continuing this mish-mash of nonsense and misdirection McCain so “eloquently” spoke out against less than 24 hours ago.

Guess which way John McCain voted.

Yep. He voted against it.

This has been your semi-regular update on John McCain giving grand speeches about comity and principles and then, reliably, doing the exact opposite the moment the cameras are turned away again.

Or, in John McCain's Senate career, your average Wednesday.

Less than 24 hours after demanding return to 'regular order,' John McCain votes against doing that

UPDATE:

So I wonder what Sen. John McCain (R-AZ), has to say about this departure from "regular order"?

They’re writing the bill they will pass tonight at lunch today.

Oh, and because they won’t have time for the Congressional Budget Office to score it, they’ll score it themselves, because sure why the hell not?

I’m sure McCain is going to go to that lunch today and refuse to go along with this travesty, right?

McStain is the biggest turncoat the GOP ever had.
