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

Posted on 10/11/2013 1:50:47 AM PDT by yoe

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.

McPain REALLY believes 0’care defunding a fool’s errand, he has always believed so, and he will continue to believe so.... up until he starts any campaign for re-election. Then he will change his tune... for the duration, and then return to his believing.

It’s too bad that some conservatives threw Hayworth under the bus, isn’t it? We could have primaried this joker out.

I actually received a begging letter from McCain for the RNC.

I circled his name and wrote “I don’t support democrats” and sent it back to them (in their own envelope of course)

As long as the RNC supports democrats like mccain, I will not support them.

I’m sure people thought it was “a fools errand” to break away from England too. Some things just need to be fought for.

McAinal McQueeg is totally irrelevant with conservative republicans. He is only important to the gay rats, who control our media. These dregs of humanity, spend their semi sober hours in Gay hot tubs, writing bs about their hero while trying to make Ted Cruz look bad. In spite of their trash posing as journalism, we now have the totally irrelevant McAinal McQueeg and a stronger Ted Cruz.

Just saw McCain on Fox with Martha MacCallum, and it sounded like he is coming right out and blaming the Republicans for the Government shut down, Shame on him, he really needs to go. Sounds exactly like a democrat. His disdain for Cruz is very evident...seems real angry and wants to team up with the democrats...??/What the heck?????

Hey McCain...this thing has NEVER had popular support. Furthermore when you break it down, it’s the lowlife/welfare staters or naive student types that favored this crap. Why let them decide something as important involving the best medical system, professionals, pharmaceutical companies ever? It’s fool hardy. A minority was able to push for civil rights, eventually a majority came around. Why give up the fight, especially when you have the majority support and by America’s Productive Class?

Stop being the Idiot you’ve shown us to be the past several years. Just STFU and GTHO politics. Your time was past decades ago.
