He SAID that, but he voted in favor of not only the motion to proceed, but the BCRA that failed 43-57.

I'd like to congratulate Sen McCain on a successful surgery and return so that he could cast the deciding vote to send us down the path where tens of millions of Americans will no longer be able to afford the same surgery he just got. Bravo, fuckwad.

51-2. Bigly margin.
(Dem votes don't count).

It was the same guy playing the same blues song. It took 20 years to finish.
