Related: Editorials & Other Articles, Issue Forums, Alliance Forums, Region ForumsOur Dem Senators cheered as John Beelzebub McCain came in to steal
my healthcare.
They gave him a standing ovation. Who is there for us? Really?
Satan is grinning and rubbing his hands, getting McCain's final home ready for him.

(6,981 posts)It's already poisonous, nasty mess that CAN get worse, because there's a possibility of 32 MILLION losing their health care and who knows how many will die because they lose their health care?

(9,527 posts)It's more than a little hyperbolic to call McCain Satan. If you can't put aside politics to celebrate somebody who was literally tortured, made an impossible choice to continue to endure that to not leave others behind and is facing a painful death, that says a lot more about you than it does about members of Congress.

But I think that was personal and just for show, really. Because what kind of shit would they have gotten had they not done that?

(7,581 posts)And we don't belong. They will all have healthcare, as will Obama and every other Dem who served. They live in a different world than we do.

(16,133 posts)And they knew how he was going to vote...but like Pavlov's dogs they all jumped when the bell was rung!!!
First off McCain isn't the only one with his particular type of cancer, secondly he came to D.C. to vote to debate a bill that will take away access to affordable health care from millions of Americans, third when the repeal vote comes to the floor of the Senate, McCain will vote to repeal the Affordable Care Act, and he will do it with pride!!!
McCain can go f**k himself, and having watched my mother deal with cancer many years ago, and knowing the pain she suffered in her last days...I can honestly say that I hope McCain suffers 100 times more then she did!!!

(7,581 posts)Do you not see the irony here? Our Dems cheered this bastard as he came in to vote to take healthcare away from us!!

(44,289 posts)approve of the vote. I do understand your anger though.

(6,981 posts)You see how Schumer in essence trashed Hillary yesterday. Hell, even Hillary had some great words for McCain when his health situation was announced.
My friends are all mostly Independents here in California because of Dems lacking a back bone over the years. I think I'll be going the I route too.
I DON'T think that I want a (D) by my name any longer.
adigal
(7,581 posts)Schumer forgot to mention that Hillary got 3 million more votes.

(8,218 posts)Why give away your power? Progressives who won't join the Democratic party don't help. The party is only as good as the people who join it.
