Senator John McCain’s reputation among grassroots conservatives may be beyond repair.
His vote early this morning to preserve Obamacare damns him in the minds of Republican voters who have demanded a repeal of Obama’s cruel health care takeover.
What makes it worse is that McCain returned to the Senate just in time to cast the deciding vote to start debate on Obamacare’s repeal. He was revered as a hero for getting the debate underway. Now, he’s ruined it all. Senate Republicans will no longer work to repeal Obamacare.
Obamacare is here to stay, and it’s McCain’s fault.
Which gets to an interesting video that just cropped up. During the 2016 campaign, McCain was a vicious foe of Obamacare. In a debate with his Democratic opponent, Congresswoman Ann Kirkpatrick, McCain didn’t say that Obamacare needed to be tinkered with or changed slightly. He demanded that it be fully repealed!
Via 100 Percent Fed Up:
One of the debate moderators asked McCain if it was possible for Congress to try to improve Obamacare rather than to try to repeal it. McCain rejected the idea that it could be fixed and that the only solution is to repeal Obamacare: “We have to scrap it entirely and start over.” McCain went on to explain why Congress MUST repeal Obamacare, “It’s a scam and the problem is, that the cost is becoming prohibitive and we’ve got to change it and fix it.”
Watch:
There’s nothing John McCain can say to make up for this disgusting betrayal.
There is only one conclusion to draw from this entire ordeal: McCain is a liar. He lied to his voters. He lied to every American. And he let down conservatives when they needed him most.
Sen. McCain did a lot of good for our country during his years in the military. But he needs to do the country one more good deed and retire. There is no excuse for his behavior.
