John McCain: Obamacare fight ‘a fool’s errand’
Politico ^ | October 10, 2013 | JOSE DELREAL

Sen. John McCain said Wednesday that there was never a chance of defunding Obamacare, blaming politicians who said it was possible for the current government shutdown. “We started this on a fool’s errand, convincing so many millions of Americans and our supporters that we could defund Obamacare,” McCain (R-Ariz.) told Wolf Blitzer on CNN. “[That] obviously wouldn’t happen until we had 67 Republican senators to override a presidential veto.”

[snip] “[It was] the people that convinced so many millions of Americans, tea partiers specifically we’re talking about, that there was some way to defund Obamacare. We can’t,” McCain said.

John McCain being a Senator is “the ultimate fool’s errand.”

The reason McLame hates Cruz so much is that Cruz is getting a lot of attention and media coverage. McLame is a narcissist and can’t stand to share the spotlight.

Jealousy is such an ugly thing, John. Retire and go back to Arizona.

Just a few minutes ago I read that you apologized for calling us wacko birds and that you finally learned not to get personal in politics.

I guess maybe you just forgot what you learned.
Alzheimers works that way

Even if defunding fails, the GOP has clearly positioned itself as the anti-Obamacare party.

As more and more people are pushed, pulled and forced into this nightmare, it will be the GOP that they will turn toward.

You can thank Ted Cruz and the Tea Party for this.

McCain makes people think there is no difference between the parties.

He cannot get it into his pea brain... a brain soaked by booze and banged around by the NVA... what this is all about. He is too bull headed to listen to what Cruz has said on many occasions.

John McCain is a totally lost cause, turncoat.

He does not understand fighting on principle. He believes slavery is better than death. I believe “give me liberty or give me death.”

The point behind the “defund” by Cruz always was a “tsunami” of anti-ObamaCare action. If it had hit during the defund effort, then it would have derailed ObamaCare.

It is starting to hit.

At a minimum we should demand of our legislators:

An end to any requirement for anyone to perform or participate or be involved in any capacity with anything that violates their religious beliefs as defined by them. This is for businesses, individuals, groups, churches, journalists, etc....anyone.

An end to anything related to death counseling, death panels, cost benefit analysis of any procedure based on age, disability, ability, infirmity, weakness, survivability, etc.

An end to anything that prevents any patient from attempting to be seen by the doctor of their choice.

McCain supports al Qaeda in multiple countries,
and the Obama everywhere.

This is the GOP installing ITS (yes, its)
RomneyCARE/ObamaCARE ignoring the people who do not want it.

Who is John McCain saying “WE”.

He isn’t one of us. He is the enemy.

What we really need is this country is to weed out enemies like John McCain. Unfortunately the mistake Arizona made cannot be rectified tomorrow.
