McCain just voted no on Obamacare repeal.

[janx]

He broke with his party and voted no on the partial repeal which would have involved, among other things, stripping federal funding for abortion.

[Laffy Kat]

1. Wait, wha? nt

[janx]

2. This bill is getting its backside kicked.

[Laffy Kat]

5. Yes!

Getting ready for work and not watching.

[OnDoutside]

3. The big one is the last attempt on Friday.

[dalton99a]

25. He'll vote for skinny repeal to blow up ACA premiums and murder millions.

And Republicans will applaud.

Just watch

[OnDoutside]

31. I wouldn't expect anything less from him.

[cwydro]

4. Oh dear.

So many here are going to feel a little foolish.

[rufus dog]

11. Foolish for what

for calling out this opportunistic fucking prick and the dems who fall for this bullshit EVERY fucking time because the media claims he is mavericky?

FFS!

[dixiegrrrrl]

33. Rufus......I am with you.

That bill also had an article denying Federal funds for Abortions.
So now he can say he voted FOR health care and AGAINST abortion.

Except....

There is no Fed. Funds for abortions. The Hyde Amendment took care of that years ago.

Whole damn lot of them are sleazy, all show and no go.

[RhodeIslandOne]

13. Friday is the one I expect him to fall in line and fuck America.

We'll see.

[chelsea0011]

17. Why? Because, when he had the opportunity yesterday to end all this BS,

he passed and sided with a bunch of assholes.

[Downtown Hound]

28. Ha! Dream on...

[Skittles]

29. LOL

the man is voting no on something he knew could not pass

he had the chance yesterday to make a REAL difference

[cwydro]

30. Yesterday's vote meant nothing.

All the hate on here is becoming boring and tiresome.

Reading nonstop posts about wanting a person's death is really not what I would expect to see on a site like this one.

[Skittles]

35. I never said anything about wanting a person's death

I have wished him well.....but the man deserves to be trashed for getting excellent healthcare on the taxpayer dime while helping his repuke cohorts use healthcare for millions of Americans as a political football

[Salviati]

34. Why?

When something passes, if they need his vote for it, you can guaran-damn-tee he will vote for it, and if he's allowed to vote against it, he will say some nice words "condemning" it of course, but he could have stopped it all in it's tracks earlier.

[Maven]

36. Nah. nt

[loyalsister]

6. I wondered if he might do that

He is a strange guy. He comes across as so angry that I wonder if he is just filled with spite and making the most of it in his final days? His votes to repeal and to let this debate go forward could be read as getting back at Obama for winning. Then.. is he getting back at Trump, who I would think he would hate with a passion, by voting no on the bill?
I can only speculate.

[rufus dog]

7. The correct title should be

McCain votes No on a bill that clearly will fail to get fifty votes in an effort to display his Maverick nature. In reality his is an opportunistic fucking asshole who has never taken a stand against his un patriotic repuke brothers in the Senate.

To be clear, I DON'T GIVE A FLYING FUCK WHAT THIS PIECE OF SHIT OF A HUMAN BEING VOTED ON, in an effort to make himself look patriotic and non partisan. FUCK HIM!

[BigmanPigman]

9. No, double fuck him!

[hatrack]

8. Not over yet. . .

.

[janx]

14. Waiting for one more vote but--it didn't pass.

45 yes, 54 no now.

[hatrack]

16. No, I meant that multiple versions are going to come up now through Friday

We'll see what happens this time Friday.

[janx]

23. Thanks for clarification.

They are on to another amendment now.

[janx]

[RhodeIslandOne]

12. Was he doped up or not?

Meghan must be running to the floor to drug him up and change his vote.

[drray23]

15. there is no federal funding for abortion already. Its the law. Hyde Amendment.

the GOP conflate planned parenthood with abortion money even though pp does not use any federal money for abortions because its actually already against the law..

[bdtrppr6]

20. but

you are using common sense and not trying to pull the wool over everyone's eyes. little facts expressed sensibly and repeatedly by MSM would work wonders in getting rid of some of the obfuscation that clouds the minds of many.

[underpants]

21. Yeah when I read that I was thinking - there is no Fed funding .

Unless it was a move to cut funding to Planned Parenthood

[janx]

24. Right--the bill manipulated that language and

c-span used it.

[lpbk2713]

18. Hey Mitch, Cruz, Rubio ... you guys suck.

Don't you clowns get tired of looking ridiculous?

[Orrex]

22. Thanks for that link

Nice to see Democrats standing strong on this.

[Orrex]

19. Fuck him all the same.

This tells us that his Yes vote yesterday was a set-up for him to play The Beloved Maverick again today. A cynical ploy by an obsolete man.

Fuck him.

[awesomerwb1]

26. They won't stop trying until they can get

all the rep comrades to vote YES on something correct?

For the more knowledgeable posters, is there a breaking point so to speak?

Is there a point where the R comrades will just say fuck it, let's move on to something else our donors will like?

[janx]

27. Donnelly motion to send bill to committee to remove Medicaid language--

up now. I am not familiar with this one.

[janx]

32. Failed, 48 to 52. n/t
