They're "forcing" him? Do they have a gun to his head? Is his family being held in a basement tied up? He wasn't forced to do anything. Despite his talk of integrity and bipartisan cooperation, he's a garbage human being and a moral coward.
They bribed the doctors to implant a bomb into his head while he was in surgery, obviously.
 
Lol it's almost as if you think 'voting for what you think is best' and being a moral coward are mutually exclusive.

One doesn't preclude the other. In fact, the fact that McCain thought this was 'best', particularly given his situation and rhetoric, is exactly what makes him a moral coward.

So, anyway...see what comes from premature hysteria?

You can call it 'premature hysteria', but my point still stands, and it's not as if Washington exists in a vacuum. John McCain was called out for his **** around the country, he was pressured for doing the wrong thing, and he turned around and did the right thing. I don't see that as a failure.

In the end, John McCain wasn't the one who stopped this bill. Yes he voted the right way at the most important time, but it wasn't down to him. Nor was it down to Collins and Murkowski, even though they hold the distinction amongst Republicans for doing the right thing every time. The credit for stopping the bill lies with the people who went and protested, the people of National ADAPT who slept outside the Whitehouse in their wheelchairs (who wouldn't have had to sleep outside in wheelchairs and get arrested if McCain had used his conscience the first time around). The people in red states who called their senators every day to demand accountability, the people who called Senator McCain out on his bull****, the people who called to support their blue senators, the people who signed up to spread the word about what was happening.
