SCHIEFFER: Let me ask you about health care quickly. It looks like that’s coming finally to a head in the Senate. It looks like that the majority leader, Harry Reid, is going to put the government- run insurance option in there, the so-called public option. Do you think at this point that that will pass the Senate?
MCCAIN: I think that the Democrats have the votes. I think that Blue Dogs bark but never bite. So I don’t think they have a problem over in the House side.
MCCAIN: In the Senate, I think that the Democrats are very aware that they don’t want a repeat of the Clinton failure in 1994. So I think it’s likely they will get something through. But it’s not clear to me what it is.
But let me just tell you what I’m offended by. Candidate Obama said he was going to have the C-SPAN cameras in, the Republicans in, and the American people would be able to watch these negotiations to find out who was on the side of the pharmaceutical companies and those who were on the side of the people.
The fact is there’s been no change. There’s a room with a few Democrats in it and some administration officials. And they are writing this entire bill. I don’t think the American people like that very much.
SCHIEFFER: Could you support health reform that included a public option?
MCCAIN: Not any -- not any proposal that I have seen. I think that a fundamental difference we have is whether we think government does a good job at administering health care in America or providing health insurance for the American people. I don’t think they do.

SCHIEFFER: Could you support health reform that included a public option? MCCAIN: Not any -- not any proposal that I have seen. What's that supposed to mean, Juan? That you could support health care "reform" proposals that include the "public option" but that you have not seen? This is nothing but more McCainian "dodge the question" political doublespeak. |

Or is that “lap-dance-dogs”? Works both ways.
RINO alert
It means he is going to vote for the bill, whatever it finally is, mark my words.
No kidding. Nobody ever challenges the assertion that the "Blue dogs" are "conservative." Every time someone posed a question to me about the "blue dogs" I would call them liberal, but that's just me.
“MCCAIN: Not any — not any proposal that I have S E E N.
There, fixed it......
No one has “Seen” the bill. Typical McDemocrat doublespeak.
McCain has no standing as an authority on any subject.
