McCain: Ted Kennedy Would Be Disappointed Health Care Bill Not Bipartisan (VIDEO)

You are so right, he's a slime dog with no integrity. What losers the Republicans are. They block and obstruct everything for a year, and then they blame Obama for not being bipartisan. Duh! The Republican party is morally and intellectually bankrupt, and they are in desperation mode.

Somehow I don't think so. IIRC, Kennedy went to his grave regretting not having been more willing to cut a deal with Nixon to bring about more universal health coverage. I think he not only would have been comfortable with the sort of wheeling and dealing Reid engaged in here (because of the GOP filibuster) he would have been right in the thick of it.

It really highlights what a shame he didn't live longer, because he may have been able to make the Senate sausage a little better than what it is.

On the other hand, Ronald Reagan would for sure have called it a socialist takeover. Even though the bill is unfortunately not that, it should still be called the "Screw Reagan's Corpse Act of 2014".

Takes 2 to tango McCain.

McCain is wrong, because the bill actually is bipartisan, in a sense. Some seats that used to be held by Republicans are now held by conservative Democrats, and they may as well be in another party. The bill is less liberal than it could have been because those conservative Democrats had pull. Anything that passes 60-40 can be characterized as having very good support. If there were 90 Democrats in the Senate and the bill passed 90-10, McCain would still be criticizing it as "not bipartisan." I didn't realize we were supposed to have affirmative action for political parties where every party gets an equal say no matter how small your caucus is.

There really should be a Sanity Clause in the qualifications for public office. If there is a sane republican I could see jumping ship on the final HCR vote to go down in history as the only one to vote for what will in time will come to be seen as another Great American Idea(TM) Perhaps as a tribute to Kennedy McCain will do so himself ROTFL.

a man without shame and a corporate media always ready with a microphone for him

"Senator Kennedy would be very happy with the passage of this bill, but he would be very disappointed that nobody in my party voted for it, and in fact I and my party did everything we could to obstruct it.

Which just proves it's a bad bill."

McCain has no right to speak for Ted Kennedy.

Has Johnny rambled on and on about the missing strawberries or his geometric logic yet?

i hate to interrupt here, but this man was a POW, dammit. he didn't have a table to write bipartisan things on, nor did he have a chair to sit in while he was writing bipartisan things on his missing table. there's no "partisan" in POW. just a P and an O and a W. POW.
