Members DramatistDreamer Posted July 25, 2017 Members Share Posted July 25, 2017 Just comparing this to when Ted Kennedy, with brain cancer, went to the Senate floor to vote for the ACA, which despite the 'death panel' fear mongering, has proved to be a vastly superior bill to anything the Republicans have managed to come up with. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members hsfolk Posted July 25, 2017 Members Share Posted July 25, 2017 I don't know, will Dems actually work on bi-partisan for a bill? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted July 25, 2017 Members Share Posted July 25, 2017 There will be no bipartisan bill. Republicans don't want that and they have all the power. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members marceline Posted July 25, 2017 Members Share Posted July 25, 2017 (edited) Don't believe him. People have got to stop believing there is any goodness in these people. They choose party over everything. Their country, their God, even their families. Always. The only time they don't do it is when they know the vote won't matter (See: Collins & Murkowski).

Members Wendy Posted July 25, 2017 Members Share Posted July 25, 2017 McCain is a hypocrite. I won't wish death but he can go to hell. He has awesome health insurance. He KNOWS how valuable it is, but he still votes yes to encourage chatting up taking insurance away from his fellow Americans - and many of them veterans, as he is. Trump now hails him as a hero. Tells me all I need to know. And to add to my disgust, the little mic slip discussion with Sen. Collins and another Democratic senator knowing Trump is unfit to lead - and yet doing NOTHING about it - is just appalling. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Juliajms Posted July 25, 2017 Members Share Posted July 25, 2017 They all know how valuable it is. They just don't care because they (and their families) will have healthcare no matter what and they want to give billions in tax cuts to the rich. It's a pretty cynical money grab. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members dragonflies Posted July 25, 2017 Members Share Posted July 25, 2017 Really? Cause I read the exact opposite, that he was going to vote for it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members hsfolk Posted July 25, 2017 Members Share Posted July 25, 2017 he voted to bring it to debate, but got up and said he wouldn't vote in favor of it in it's current form 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members dragonflies Posted July 25, 2017 Members Share Posted July 25, 2017 Good cause I was pissed, given his health issues, it would be so very wrong. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Juliajms Posted July 25, 2017 Members Share Posted July 25, 2017 Like Marceline said he will almost certainly vote for this bill when it comes down to it. He's not going to have some big epiphany just because he has terminal cancer. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted July 25, 2017 Members Share Posted July 25, 2017 I see that the media is keening over McCain "blasting partisanship." Wherever David Broder is, he must be enraptured. Funny how McCain didn't mind partisanship when he let his open loathing for Obama color everything he did for 8 years. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Khan Posted July 25, 2017 Members Share Posted July 25, 2017 Agree. Proving that there IS justice somewhere in this cuckoo, laugh-in world. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members hsfolk Posted July 25, 2017 Members Share Posted July 25, 2017 I think at some point, McConnell will bring in a bill in some form for a vote just to get the Republicans to put their names on paper 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
