"SNIP...........

In an interview with Politico, Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) sounded like he could end up tanking the latest GOP health care bill even though it was written by Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC), his close friend.

Said McCain: “Nothing has changed. If McConnell wants to put it on the floor, that’s up to McConnell. I am the same as I was before. I want the regular order.”

1. But does that mean regular order will get him a yes vote?

John, say you support killing me or you dont, please say one or the other.

2. Regular order would require 60 votes

I think.

3. OH yeah, my bad, you are right.

So this is his way of supporting life without saying it so he can still get votes or support from his murdering pals and supporters

Thanks

7. 60 - if I'm right - would give cover to some from red states to vote Yes

but that's the old way that McCain is working under. Between rabid teabag types to just the general storyline that they couldn't get it done I'm not sure saying "Hey I voted to repeal!!" will do much good at this point.

8. and I think I heard that the 60 votes required to pass will go into effect Oct 1st, if I heard that

right. 50 now, and after September 30, it goes to 60 votes. Sorry though, don't remember where I heard about that.

4. Nowhere Did Say Hed Vote No

Sorry, but I’m betting he votes in favor because his cover, the Governor of Arizona, said he’s in favor of the graham tax cut bill. (It ain’t healthcare reform at all).

5. Let's see what his actual vote is.

Not holding my breath with any Republican.
