Sen. John McCain returns to Arizona, will miss vote on GOP tax bill
CBS News ^

Posted on 12/17/2017 12:40:31 PM PST by springwater13

epublican Sen. John McCain is returning to Arizona after spending several days in a Maryland hospital recovering from side effects from chemotherapy treatment for brain cancer, CBS News has learned.

McCain left Washington Sunday and is heading back to his home state to spend the holidays with his family. He will not be on hand for the final vote on the GOP tax passage expected for early this week. It is unclear when McCain might return to Washington.

Despite a razor-thin margin needed to pass the measure, McCain's presence will not likely be the determining factor in the vote. Two critical senators -- Bob Corker of Tennessee and Marco Rubio of Florida -- announced their support for the bill last week after initially saying they would oppose earlier versions.

McCain’s time has passed. His ego may not accept that fact, but it is so...

BS on your BS praise McCain’s professed honorable behavior as a POW, .....’SONGBIRD’ sold out his country & lived a life of sensual pleasure in the Hanoi Hilton while honorable servicemen were tortured by the communist enemy.....

John McCain needs to be investigated concerning the mysterious death of Deborah Jeane Palfrey, the D.C. Madam.....she was on the way to testify in Congress about names in her address book during a key time in his 2008 Presidential bid.

......(let’s make sure he doesn’t come back to undermine MAGA again)

And, his fellow POWs that were left behind MIA in North Vietnam to rot & later turned over to the Soviet Union to be ‘disappeared’.....McCain’s feeble efforts to bring them home were a joke.

And, his more recent CIA sponsored support of ISIS reign of terror in the Middle East will also be a HOT TOPIC before the judgement seat of God.

Nope. She stays in the fight to replace Flake. Doucey can replace McSwine with Kyle for the temp position.

They should get off their backsides and get that old asshole out like yesterday and if Doucey mentions Kyle as his replacement, he might let go? NAW! That old Son of a ...wont do it would he?

Kyl is just McCain lite.

Another Establishment RINO with no balls.

More of a wonk.

Too bad Trent Franks is leaving. Would have been the natural choice.

Maybe better: Gosar.

Sorry, but McCain has consistently opposed conservative and even moderate GOP positions, and should have resigned years ago because he was clearly out of it. I don’t know why he kept getting elected in AZ, except that there are many retirees from the Northeast and Midwest who live in Phoenix and thereabouts, and the population isn’t very dense outside of those areas.

Personally, I think he’s despicable and has destroyed many a good initiative over the last 30 years since he got elected in 1987. Term limits for Senators!

We have the oldest Senate ever now because these liberal fossils have been collecting paychecks and not representing their constituencies for so long that the constituencies (or their parties) don’t even know what they should be expecting from their Senator anymore. The result is that nobody but the Golden Oldies, who vote they way they always have since they retired 20-30 years ago, even bothers to vote.

Hate begets hate.

We’ve been through this on a half-dozen threads already.

You can pray for McCain, or for the American people.

The former is Hell-bent on harming the latter.

If the measure of a man is judged by his final years, John McCain is a miserable failure.

We should have a vacancy now. The sick old man needs to resign instead of being a self-centered prick.
