RRD:Oh,& according to The Hill it was Mccain who ”galvanized” Republicans to oppose Obamacare. Odd,I thought the Teaparty did that. I wonder if The Hill is trying to pump up Mccain for some purpose of their own,(or Obama's own)
,or did they just regurgitate what Mccain told them.
President Obama Snubbed Me Says John Mccain: http://thehill.com/homenews/senate/232693-president-obama-snubbed-me-says-john-mccain?wpisrc=nl_pmfix ..."McCain pointed out that Obama invited him to the White House in 2009 to discuss immigration reform. “I said, ‘I’d love to join you,’ and never heard from him,” McCain said. ...."Instead of helping Obama lay the groundwork for bipartisan coalition-building, McCain galvanized Senate Republican opposition to the 2009 stimulus package and the 2010 healthcare reform proposal."...
RRD:ROFL,perhaps The Hill has difficulty in comprehending the concept of citizen activism (by activists of whatever political persuasion).Everything must be guided by a Congressman or Senator.I mean it's not like the masses have minds of their own. ...“It started off pretty good, but unfortunately we’re in a contested world right now,” said Graham. “Instead of reaching out to Sen. McCain to try to find a compromise between his $450 billion package and [House Democratic Leader] Nancy Pelosi’s [Calif.] $782 billion, they jammed it through and ObamaCare was jammed through and the rest is history.”... RRD:So the problem was not with Obamacare or the Stimulus,it was again that Democrats were unwilling to compromise.
One does not compromise on fundamental principles.
”Compromise — Ayn Rand Lexicon http://aynrandlexicon.com/lexicon/compromise.html
...”There are two sides to every issue: one side is right and the other is wrong, but the middle is always evil. The man who is wrong still retains some respect for truth, if only by accepting the responsibility of choice. But the man in the middle is the knave who blanks out the truth in order to pretend that no choice or values exist, who is willing to sit out the course of any battle, willing to cash in on the blood of the innocent or to crawl on his belly to the guilty, who dispenses justice by condemning both the robber and the robbed to jail, who solves conflicts by ordering the thinker and the fool to meet each other halfway. In any compromise between food and poison, it is only death that can win. In any compromise between good and evil, it is only evil that can profit. In that transfusion of blood which drains the good to feed the evil, the compromiser is the transmitting rubber tube . . . When men reduce their virtues to the approximate, then evil acquires the force of an absolute, when loyalty to an unyielding purpose is dropped by the virtuous, it’s picked up by scoundrels—and you get the indecent spectacle of a cringing, bargaining, traitorous good and a self-righteously uncompromising evil.”....

RRD:Guess who the man in the middle is Mccain?
