SEN. JOHN MCCAIN (R), ARIZONA: Well, I thought the president is eloquent. I thought he had a lot of passion.

(snip)

MCCAIN: I hope he gets a bill. I hope we can sit down together and do the things that all of us agree on. And there are a number of things that are -- that we can agree on. And I think the American people, obviously, want that.

I don't know what the administration and the Democrats will insist on. Facts are stubborn things. The bills so far have had no bipartisanship associated with it. They were drawn up by Democrats and Republican amendments were rejected. So there's going to have to be an entire change of atmosphere here in order for us to get something done in a bipartisan basis.

(snip)

L. KING: But you don't believe there will be a death panel, though, do you?

MCCAIN: No. I do know that portions of the House bill were removed -- or one of the bills that's winding around here, which may have intimated such a thing. But -- and we know there's some questions about some of the manuals in the Veterans Administration.

But, look, instead of doing that, can't we sit down together and work together?

That might be a thought.

You can shut up, oh - I dunno, YESTERDAY, Mac!

[SoDak]

About all I have to say about McCain is that the GOP has got to close it’s primaries.

[OldDeckHand]

If Republicans can’t bounce this douche-bag out of office next year, something is very, very wrong.

[exist]

Worst Candidate Ever.

[AliVeritas]

Amen.

[shibumi]

John McCain - Speak for yourself ONLY Traitor!

[Frantzie]

I cannot stand Juan McCain. Are there any people here from AZ who will call this clown up and tell him to shut up. He is a fool.

[RanGreHad]

You will notice you don’t hear any of that “bipartisan” garbage from Cindy McCain.

Has he ever said word one about what in that 1000 pages he might NOT agree on? Anything in there you couldn’t vote for Johnny?

No, but the other day an interview with her ran in People magazine in which she said very nice things about her daughter Meghan's work and also praised Michelle Obama.

[DoughtyOne]

I can’t remember a bigger Republican scoundrel. Hey, I’m only 58.

McCain could rehab Richard Nixon. Sorry Dick, all is forgiven.

BTW, I like your graphic. So true...

[top 2 toe red]

I wanted to slap McCain nine ways into Sunday for that stupid grin and thumps up he gave when obama threw him a bone, a TINY bone last night!

I wonder if it is too late for me to ask for my campaign donations to him last year back?

[Pharmer]

Only confirms why he lost to a Communist. What a fool.

[beaversmom]

McCain is a schizo.

[DoughtyOne]

If that d—k is going out in public, he should at least wear a body sized condom.

[WHBates]

Yes, I'm almost sorry I voted for him. However, I think about Obama and still think it was the correct vote. I just wish he would now STFU.
