McConnell Needs To Sack Them From Committee Chairs or RESIGN!

McCain is a rotten communists Democrat. He is insane. And McConnell is just as bad. He will never remove Collins or McGarbage from any committee.

One simple bill can fix this. Make the Senate (Rand Paul and McCain alike) vote on this:

Congress shall be subject to the provisions of the Affordable Care Act.

Let’s see how brave and bi-partisan John McCain is when it looks like he might lose his triple platinum healthcare coverage while fighting cancer. Hmmm, I wonder how he will vote then?

This isn’t the Presidency he’s against. This will affect millions of lives and the very fabric of the country because he’s either that much of a self-centered narcissistic asshole or because he’s actively playing ball for the DNC.

You didn’t see McCain complaining about “the process” when he ran back tonDC during his failed campaign to pass the bank bailout legislation that was ramrodded through congress.

In any event the GOP should now hold Obamacare to the letter of the law and stop all payments to the insurance companies in 2018 and let the exchanges work on their own and point the finger at McCain when people cry out.

The bastid is still PO’ed that Trump won. This is all about his squalid, elderly ego.

If he felt that way he could’ve said that 2 weeks ago!


He could’ve said that 9 months ago!

In his reelection ad he said he was “a leader in repealing Obamacare”.

So, this “leader” did nothing until the last minute, when he opposed repeal on a technicality.

Jimmy Kimmel just tweeted that McCain is a “HERO, again, and again.”
CNN celebrates, as does NYT and WaPO and LA Times.
Massive set back for McConnell. Left wing media bursts into applause for McCain’s kick to Trump.

Wotta surprise. Now it has to be “bipartisan” and have an “acceptable” score from the CBO (which has been sometimes been wildly inaccurate).

Perfidy, thy name is John McCain.

Ted Kennedy could not have been more ruinous of the values of America.

This all but assures the continued application of Obamacare, as written and implemented. It will crash and burn, as no rescue is economically or politically feasible

He does have a point that this should be clearly written, debated, and approved in public. The repeal is simple. Just repeal it and get that done. Then the replace, lets get a real proposal written, lets discuss it, stop the middle of the night rushes, secret discussions, no reviews, etc”

Half right. Just repeal the god damned thing and never mind replacing it. Market will figure it out. Get the filthy government out of it.
