McCain: Obama administration has been more partisan than Clinton White House (wants bipartisanship)
The Hill, Washington, DC ^ | 2009-12-20

Posted on 12/20/2009 8:15:58 AM PST by rabscuttle385

Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) gave his challenger in the 2008 presidential election a stiff review Sunday as President Barack Obama nears completion of his first year in office.

"[Obama] said there would be a change in the climate in Washington," McCain said. "There's been a change. It's more partisan. It's more bitterly divided than it's been."

(snip)

"At least under 'Hillarycare' they tried seriously to negotiate with Republicans," McCain said.

"There's been -- there has been no effort that I know of that -- serious across-the-table negotiations, such as I have engaged in with Democrats and with other administrations. And that was the commitment that the president made."

(snip)

"Well, I would still give him an incomplete, because I still think we can win overtime on this healthcare issue," McCain said. "I think he has found out in Copenhagen in some rather bizarre scenarios that maybe it's more important to be respected than to be loved."

Bipartisanship is a dead end, McCain. It’s not an end to itself. If you haven’t figured that out by now, then you’re hopeless.

The man's into the terminal phases of severe dementia. Won't be long.

Now, about those "reach arounds", they don't work McCain. Tell your little buddy in SC about it ~ no satisfaction at all.

Hard to believe ANYBODY can be that stupid. It almost has to be an act, put on to elicit “nice guy” points from the NY Times. Limp-wrists and sell-outs like McCain are one of the reasons only 40 republicans sit in the senate.

And he will gladly offer it to them, along with your liver too.

Conservatives need to take back the GOP.

Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) says that Republicans will “probably not” be able to stop the passage of health care this week, but that his party will continue to “win the battle of American public opinion.”

Even though it is 90% of the way to losing the WAR.

Guy is still crazy as a sh*thouse rat, I see.

McCain is dumber than a rock and not near as useful.

He sickens me. His pal Graham-nesty is for cap and trade. McCain is worse than the Democrats.

Mclame hasn't figured out yet the DemonRats only considered him useful idiot. Now they are done with him and he is discarded like a used Kleenex.

Thanks for choosing SP as your running mate John. And thank you for your service to our nation in Vietnam. Now please either get with the program or just go away.

What you never understood Johnny is we do not want to get along with the Rats. We want them destroyed - politically. We want their political remains thrown on the trash heap of history. We want victory, not bipartisanship.
