John McCain "Trump poorly informed". This is rich.

[Madmick]

Thanks for the input.

McCain adjusted subtly adjusted his positions throughout thie 2008 campaign. And not-so-subtle. He shifted from "for 100 years or until victory" to "withdrawal with no specific timetable" to supporting an abrupt withdrawal in Iraq during the campaign. He shifted from vehemently opposing universal health care (and branding himself around the opposition) to malleable to a supporter over the course of the same comical campaign and wound up obstructing repeal.

Both Obama and McCain started out opposing gay marriage and ended up supporting it (miraculously the same week as Hillary and nearly everyone else in Washington because they saw the public popularity metrics had shifted on a totally inconsequential issue).

McCain's points of consistency: He has been a champion for illegal immigrants and covert proxy wars. Very steadfast on those issues. He and Obama also share these traits.

Differences: McCain wanted to make the Bush tax cuts permanent and Obama did not. There. That's basically the only issue that was up in the air for 2008 by election night.

I'm not a hardcore Trump supporter. Perhaps the hysteria makes anyone who downplays silly hoaxes seem as though they're a die-hard supporter.

Yet more. What the fuck are you talking about?

McCAIN: Sen. Obama wants, if you’ve got [a small business with] employees, & you’ve got kids, if you don’t adopt the health care plan that Sen. Obama mandates, he’s going to fine you. Now, Sen. Obama, I’d still like to know what that fine is going to be. Sen. Obama wants to set up health care bureaucracies, take over the health care of America--as he said, his objective is a single payer system. You’ll have to pay a fine if you don’t provide health insurance that Sen. Obama mandates, not the kind that you think is best for your family, your children, your employees, but the kind that he mandates for you. That’s big government at its best.

OBAMA: Here’s your fine--zero.

McCAIN: Zero?

OBAMA: Zero, because as I said in our last debate and I’ll repeat, I exempt small businesses from the requirement for large businesses that can afford to provide health care to their employees, but are not doing it.

That was less than a month before the election.

Stop listening to Michael Savage. Think for yourself. Review the facts for yourself. Stop being so gullible.

I love most of the liberals talk about his policies and discuss the topic at hand, while the Trump supporters just skip right to making fun of McCains brain cancer.

Not surprising at all.

McCain is the ultimate RINO.

That senile bozo voted against repealing Obamacare.

He might as well marry Chucky Schumer, become a Dem and get it over with.

 

[Rhood]

Since when has the "Do nothing Congress" answered to the American people?
It's been a very long time!
Almost two decades ago!

McCain needs to get off his holier than thou high horse and take a good look in the mirror.

 

[MiniCraque]

The American people voted in republicans to repeal and replace Obamacare.

No they didn't. Obamacare has over 50% support from the people and the abomination they tried to rush through Congress had what, less than 15%?

I think McCain is borderline senile at this point but he was on the right side of history on this issue. Voting for that shitty bill would mean betraying his constituents and it was very responsible of him to answer to them instead of towing the party line like so many spineless Republicans did.

I reviewed the facts and see he voted against the repeal. Something Obama would have done.

McCain wouldn't have put it through to begin with, so that's a major difference between the two. But other than that they are the same person. And Hillary is the same too. The only slight difference I can see between parties is that Democrats are slightly more pro Wall Street, because they aren't as financially literate as Republicans, and Republicans are slightly more pro corparations.

What in the sacred name of fuck does this even mean.

The saga of repealing glass steigal makes this point rather self evident.

They cared what he said when he walked onto the Senate floor and voted against the Obamacare repeal. My guess is people will care when he goes to the floor on the other votes this Fall.

 

[Seano]

John McCain is letting his personal feelings for Trump get in the way of doing his job. Its surprising that the GOP is just wasting this entire opportunity they have. Its like they don't even dare to try.

What is a Senator's job? How are his relations with Trump affecting it?

What a load of bullshit. The bill that repealed Glass-Steagall was sponsored by 3 Republicans and this was the voting record:

Yes, repealing was a mistake, but pinning this on one party over the other (specially when the voting suggest otherwise) is nothing but partisan quackery.

Come next election these rhinos have to go, their party died in 2016.

And Hillary said it's impossible to bring back. Like I said, not literate on the economy. They just want that campaign finance rolling in.

No, you don't get to dodge the argument with your "but Hillary" tangent. Please explain how repealing Glass-Steagall, an effort spearheaded and supported unanimously by Republicans, is a sign of Democrats being more supportive of Wall Street OR less "financially literate". Stand by your initial point or concede.

It takes a real filthy piece of shit to repeat that slander, troll or no.
