McCAIN FLOOR STATEMENT ON NEED FOR BIPARTISANSHIP 7-25-17

[mdarby]

At some point those that know will remember - I will never forget that I am an American, fighting for freedom, responsible for my actions, and dedicated to the principles which made my country free. I will trust in my God and in the UNITED STATES OF AMERICA.

Dear Senator,
I want to thank you for your service to this great state of Arizona. Beside all of the love and hate that we have toward you, I hope that history will show you as the great orator that you are. I hope that in your life you have learned many things, made mistakes sure, but if you learn from it, that makes you greater as a person. Now that you have been given a glimpse of your end game and that it is close, hopefully you will hold your head up high and continue fighting the good fight and do what is right and do what will really help the people of this state. We went to church and Sunday school many years ago, so I know that you know the way to heaven and I pray that you have made that profession of faith and when my time comes that I will meet you up there and shake your hand and we'll walk with the Lord Jesus, forever. I know that there will be tears that I will cry for those that did not make it. I pray that you will not be one of them. May God be with you always and with much love I speak my friend.
Sincerely,
JBL

Once again Senator McCain has let down the middle class, yet he is exempt from the same. I hope your constituents are proud of their Senator from Arizona.

"What have we got to lose by working together?" Thank you, Senator McCain. I am honored to call you my senator. -- an Arizona constituent

This is the single greatest speech I've ever seen Senator McCain give. One more time, he just fought for this country. I cheered and cried the whole time. Senator McCain has my deepest respect. It was amazing to see the maverick back again. I am a democratic but have voted for him in the past and I've been disappointed in him at times. I've never lost my belief in him and this proves that was the right call. I will never be able to thank him for all he has done but never did we need him more and he delivered. I love Senator McCain and I'm proud to say so. Thank you sir. Thank you.

after I visited the "Hanoi Hilton" and saw McCain's accommodations, it was clear that surviving that experience showed he has incredible strength and courage and a super titanium pair. The health care vote confirmed same...

[philpie]

thank you for your reasonable statements.

I kind of thought Senator McCain was going to vote against the repeal of Obama care. I sent him my grievance ... especially being a resident of Arizona. I face paying $1000s out of pocket for COBRA benefits or paying a penalty tax. I was hoping the penalty tax was going to disappear. The American freedom to choice is eroding. I am disappointed w/ this senator' s vote and collusion with Democrats.

[harlanevans]

John leave the country and never come back and take those thirty years with you 've done nothing for AZ.

[youthecat]

As a staunch DEMOCRAT, allow me to utter a huge "THANK YOU" for your brave, honest, caring and compassionate vote tonight. You stood up to some difficult pressure, I'm sure more than I could ever imagine, but stood your ground. You and I don't always agree, but it's a fact that you will NEVER be forgotten for this vote or the many other ways in which you have given to this country.

[joycescott]

YOU ARE A GREAT MAN SENATOR, THANK YOU .YOUR SPEECH IS WHAT EVERY ONE NEEDS TO HEAR, TO KNOW THAT THIS COUNTRY DO HAVE CIVILIZED AND CARING POLITICIANS THAT ARE IN POLITICS TO MAKE CHANGE FOR THE PEOPLE AND NOT IN IT FOR THEIR OWN SPECIAL INTEREST

[bobgolf]

I'm John McCain and I approve this message I do I don't agree I don't know what to do yes no maybe so

[encouragmt]

Inspirational. Awesome. Regardless of what you think of this honor....forthright.

[guilty]

Nice to hear a civilized republican senator. Hope next generation looks back at respectable smart and thoughtful politicians.

[TL-vpuh]

Senator, you are so correct, "something your friends on the other side of the isle didn't do 9 years ago and you shouldn't do the same today"
You should completely repeal the ACA, even if you do it over a 2 year period. Completely repeal the ACA like you voted to do in 2015 and start over. The ACA hurt a lot of people that used to be able to afford insurance, and used to have a descent doctor. I'm so sick of people whining about (how so many people will lose their insurance if ACA is repealed), what about the people that lost their Dr. and their insurance plan that they were paying for on their own! Of course the people complaining about a full repeal don't care if others lost their Dr. or insurane plan in the past! Repeal and start from scratch, the right way like it should have done.

[lvcsslacker]

I may not agree with him entirely, but I'm glad he stood up against the "health care bill"

[anandacalendar]

Wow! Bravo Senator McCain for your passionate plea for bipartisanship in our currently fractured congress.
