I dont believe McCain voted no because he did not agree with the bill. I believe McCain saw the unbelievable outpouring of disdain, distrust, and just outright hatred he received by voting yes to bring the shitty bills forward. IMO, he felt his legacy is in the shitter, and needed to do something to prop it up. Sorry but you deserve what you got. He will now live out the rest of his life thinking the American people will love him, and he can die happy. ok well if you think that, great, but until this country understands that this current administration, congress and Supreme court are not in your best interest. I saw where Fuckump donated 100,000 quarterly paycheck to the department of education, yet he wants to cut 9.5 billion from the department of education budget. Ok so his supporters are see hes great.... hey idiots, you have kids too, you have sick relatives too, you have parents on Medicare too.... get with the big picture...its not just a liberal/democratic thing
