This isnāt a repeal bill! Itās a āwe gotta get the money some fān place so we can give our donors (bribers) a tax cut!ā
I still think that McCain is a good man held hostage by the GOP.
Ditto the Rand Paul thread: āIām shocked, shocked to find that gambling is going on in here!ā
Heās dying of brain cancer. He didnāt give a shit until his imminent death put in to perspective what the less privileged rest of us have to deal with on a daily basis. Iām glad he voted the way he did, but every single elected official should have done the same without hesitationā¦letās see how he votes when it comes to taxes.
Iām not holding my breath.
Rand Paul calls it āunseemly.ā John McCain calls it āunsavory.ā I call it corrupt and disgusting.
āIt seems the bazaar is open."
And this is different from any other day in Congress how exactly?
McCain is complicated.
He absolutely has a dark side. He can be really nasty.
He also loves the attention heās gotten over the decades when he plays the maverick: Cameras, microphones. And then he can act like a sycophant too when smoozing with tea party wackos.
Trump made a big tactical error one week after he announced his candidacy; remember that tweet? McCain sure does.
The man who inflicted Sarah Palin on us has a lot to answer for. But this is a start.
No heās not a hostage but he needs to call out his party obstructist behavior for the reason that they are in this mess.
No, itās not. He will never be forgiven for the most egregious act of political malpractice in the last 100 years. Ever.
In fact, Iād like to see āThe Man Who Gave Us Sarah Palinā etched on his headstone so people never forget.
Iāll bet his first wife would disagree. And sheād be right.
And this tactic surprises anyone because?
Bill Cassidy is just another Tea Party hack, but Lindsey Graham was once considered a āserious person.ā With this horrifying parody of legislating, Graham has forfeited any claim to being a responsible member of Congress.
I used to get down on him for picking Palin - but the current Pee-Resident makes Palin look like a freaking Nobel Prize winner by comparison.
I really donāt get Graham at all.
Iām guessing thereās not even gonna be a vote.
Palinās candidacy enabled Trumpās. Before her you had to be a serious person to run for national office. After her any damn fool would be acceptable if he or she was good on TV.
My guess is there are 10 or 12 Republican senators who will vote against it if push comes to shove. McConnell knows the exact number.
McConnell knows heās dumpster diving and he also knows that he canāt have dignity and do what he does, thus, he has forsaken all dignity.
They want a win, any win, but killing O-care would be a real warm and fuzzy one for them, death panels or no.
And Iām just spitballinā here but making each successive attempt worse and kicking many more millions to the healthcare curb just doesnāt seem like the way to gain support.
I am not geared for āconservativeā thinking-that is clear.
" Despite the divorce, Carol McCain has remained on good terms with John McCain[30] and has supported him in all his subsequent political campaigns.[3] She refused to discuss her marriage with an election opponent of McCainās in 1982 who was seeking negative information about him, telling the opponent that āa gentleman never would have calledā.[37] She supported his 2008 presidential campaign and told The Mail on Sunday in June 2008 she was not bitter and that, āHeās a good guy. We are still good friends. He is the best man for president.ā[3] "
