Our 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.

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?

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.

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!!!

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.
