If Clinton wins, McCain advocates holding government hostage.

Says they will block all Clinton nominees for supreme Court.

So when 3 more retire in the next 4 years....?

I saw that yesterday.

the lengths that some people go to.. whether it's the first African American president or the potential of the first female president.. are truly mind-boggling.

Of course, this is the same person who introduced Sarah Palin to America so you can only expect so much.

This is why Congress' approval rating is around 14%.

It's what we've become as a country. Yay!

Did you receive those stupid fucking talking points directly from CAP or Media Matters? Or was it the Daily Kos?

Get some new material you ass.

This system works. That's why I'm voting.

As well as they should. There has never been someone so corrupt to run for potus. She has undermined through sheer corruption the political process in this country.

So yeah, now she can get a taste of her own medicine. Cry me a river. Or is she the only one allowed to constantly break laws and play dirty?

Fuck that. If the Ds retain control of the Senate, as I think they might, then the new Majority Leader should go nuclear and finally do away with that unwritten rule that calls for 60 votes to get cloture. The Rs have an impossible time accepting their defeats. It's time they get their inaction shoved up their asses.

The McCain the Dems love......lied to his constituents to get re-elected then screws them and his party.

Roberts: Only 6 percent of Arizona voters like Senate health care bill

McCain said he would vote in accordance with the Governor of Arizona's wishes, who came out against the Senate's repeal legislation.

How is it a lie to be on record for a better health care process and vote down one that isn't. Fuck it, just vote to repeal? Right? That's serving your constituents? Or was is a super good act because it defunded planned Parenthood?

He ran on straight repeal.  He lied.   I'm not making any other argument.   Just that he's a sleazy lying politico like the rest of them, he'll say anything to get elected.

McCain did what he said he would listening to AZ governor.

Convienient conservative loves the lying, draft dodging pussy grabber in The White House and vilifies Senator McCain.

I think it turned out to be an example of rat fuck with McCain stuck it to Trump, Pence and McConnell.

So he lied to his constituents and did what another politician told him to do and you see that as a good thing.

Why do I think this won't be a consistent position?

If folks are that offended that a decorated military veteran didn't support a lying pussy grabber?

The GOP has shown us they can screw up a 3 car clown parade with leadership in the driver's seats.

I guess I'm confused then. If he was for a straight repeal and didn't vote for a partial repeal.....how is that a lie to your constituents?

For the record

“From the beginning, I have believed that Obamacare should be repealed and replaced with a solution that increases competition, lowers costs, and improves care for the American people,” McCain said in a statement after he cast the deciding vote to defeat a Republican alternative known as “skinny repeal.”

Lets review Loose's posting

1. Politicians do not listen to the people
2. The people have been marginalized; the voice of the people does not matter any more; there is no representation for the average American because politicians only care about party politics and mega-donors.
3. Liberals elitists are the worst; liberal elitists have turned their back on the average American; this is why Trump won and why I like Kid Rock for Senate.
4. If the people have no voice it's not democracy.

Then...wait for it...

...wait for it...

5. John McCain voted the way a majority of Arizonans wanted him to vote; McCain voted the way his constituents and the governor of the state he represents in the Senate wanted him to vote, and in doing so turned his back on the Republican party.

So, in the end, Loose is more concerned about the well-being of a political party than the people a sitting senator represents, even though for months he has been complaining about politicians representing the interests of everything and anybody other than the people.

The convient conservative who is a big fan of authoritaian government is pissed that McCain decided he could play Rat Fuck better than the Tweeter in Chief who lost a bit of power very early on a Friday morning.

Bump.

Far from being a modern-day “profile in courage,” McCain’s vote against advancing Obamacare reform represents a complete reversal of the position he won his Senate election with last year. John Merline of Investor’s Business Daily notes that “In the private sector, promising one thing and delivering the other could be referred to as ‘deceptive trade practice.’ For some members of Congress, it’s just another day at the office.” Like every American, I wish John McCain the best in his battle against a brain tumor.

But in what may prove to be one of the most important votes he has cast in his 35 years in Congress, he chose to operate like the standard-issue politicians he likes to rail against.
