McCain repulsed by 'euphoria'

2010-03-23

Republican Senator John McCain said Monday morning that Democrats have not heard the last of the health care debate, and said he was repulsed by "all this euphoria going on."
Those Blue Doggies best not go messin' with the Maverick!
McCain, who was Obama's rival in the 2008 presidential election, told ABC television that "outside the (Washington) Beltway, the American people are very angry. They don't like it, and we're going to repeal this."

Republican Mitt Romney, who challenged McCain for the Republican presidential nomination in 2008, also called for repeal of the reform bill Monday. In a statement, Romney called the passage of the legislation "an historic usurpation of the legislative process."

While national health care has been a goal of presidents stretching back decades, it has proved elusive, in part because self-reliance and suspicion of a strong central government remain strong in America.

#12 Little tired of Maverick's Faux-outrage when he really should've been mad and knelt down "for honor". He and his trashy daughter would be better left in a political environment - more local, say City Council

#8 A cowboy from Texas attends a social function where Barack Obama is trying to gather support for his Health Plan. Once he discovers the cowboy is from President Bush's home area, he starts to belittle him by talking in a southern drawl and single syllable words.

As he was doing that, he kept swatting at some flies that were buzzing around his head. The cowboy says, "Y'all havin' some problem with them circle flies?"

Obama stopped talking and said, "Well, yes, if that's what they're called, but I've never heard of circle flies."

"Well, sir," the cowboy replies, "Circle flies hang around ranches. They're called circle flies because they're almost always found circling around the back end of a horse."

"Oh," Obama replies as he goes back to rambling.
But, a moment later he stops and bluntly asks, "Are you calling me a horse's ass?"

"No, sir," the cowboy replies, "I have too much respect for the citizens of this country to call their president a horse's ass."

"That's a good thing," Obama responds and begins rambling on once more.

After a long pause, the cowboy, in his best Texas drawl says, "Hard to fool them flies, though."
And I'm one of them.

#7 It is time for him to leave and retire.

I could not agree more. Go quietly...and stay quiet.

#6 McCain helped to contribute to this disaster with the way he ran his presidential campaign and his lack of spine as a senator and presidential candidate on fundamental issues facing this nation. As a senator, he makes things worse instead of better.

It is time for him to leave and retire.

#5 Repulsed you say? No more of this boardwatering! Maverick mounts his faithful steed named TARP and rides out of town in disgust. But never fear. He'll be back again, like the barn fly, hovering over horse piles and bothering people. Please senator, take it to the barn will you? You've earned it, give it a rest.

#4 ..he was repulsed by "all this euphoria going on."

errr...why, because it wasn't McCaincare? Come on John, look at your own record and say you wouldn't have just pushed a 'gentler kinder' version. And then we'd watch your lips fall off.
