Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) wants Congress to pass the Gang of Eight’s comprehensive amnesty bill when he returns to the Senate after getting treatments for brain cancer.

According to The Arizona Republic, McCain, before leaving Washington to get cancer treatments in Arizona, reportedly spoke to Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) about joining forces again to pass the “Gang of Eight” bill. After joining Sens. Susan Collins (R-ME) and Lisa Murkowski (R-AK) to defeat the GOP’s “skinny repeal” of Obamacare, McCain, who has always wanted to be known as a straight-talking independent, was lionized by Democrats and the legacy media, with CNN paying homage to his “maverick moment.”

McCain is a vindictive SOB who dreams of revenge even while knocking on the Pearly Gates.

John McCain says he hopes to revive immigration reform upon return to Congress
Washington Examiner, Aug 3, 2017, Josh Siegel

Sen. John McCain wants to revive his preferred method of immigration reform when he returns to Congress after being treated for brain cancer.

Before leaving Washington for more treatment, McCain, R-Ariz., told The Arizona Republic that he spoke with Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., about tackling immigration reform.

The two senators collaborated in 2013 on a failed effort known as the Gang of Eight that would have provided a path to citizenship for immigrants living in the country illegally.

"Immigration reform is one of the issues I'd like to see resolved," McCain told the Arizona Republic in an interview published Thursday. "I've got to talk to him (Schumer) about when would be the best time. I think there are all kinds of deals to be made out there. I really do."

McCain said earlier this week that he expects to return to Washington, D.C., as early as September.

McCain is jealous of Trump's win. McCain hates Trump, his supporters, and all Conservatives.
He is furious at God and Death for having the arrogance of trying to make him leave office.
McCain will be lashing out at everything and everybody on the Right until he dies. There is no reason to pretend anymore.


It is odd that people are still taking him seriously, knowing that he will no longer be on Earth a year from now.
Who cares what McCain wants or thinks? His time is done.


We can't have some crazy old guy passing legislation on his death bed, and fomenting laws and wars that he will never have to live with. McCain needs to go.

[Snarknado]

Hopefully it's just a last-gasp craving for one last moment in the limelight. He knows he's not likely to return in any condition to accomplish anything, least of all a left-wing amnesty bill.

Should we count on Trump to veto this garbage?  I can see tone-deaf congress sending it to his desk, since they can't pass anything else.

[dfwgator]

I love how all the liberals now praising McCain were basically calling him a "Nazi" when he was running against Obama.

We were just having a discussion about this ... FWIW, the consensus among the eight of us is between "yes" and "God I hope so".

Yes he gets his affirmation from the press.  He gets his money from Soros.

He's a tool.  Right now he is a hoe for the left.

Being associated with the Gang of 8 was an albatross around Rubio's neck when he ran for President.  Hopefully, he learned his lesson.

[Wingnut]

Most people, as their final days approach want to leave a mark on their life's work.  McCain seems happy with leaving a stain.

I don't know why the little Cuban lap dancer wanted to get involved with all that "dreamer" crap anyway.

Very thoughtful statement.

Exactly...I was just going to post that...Poor Rubio spent months running away from The Gang of 8 label and now McCain has resurfaced it..lol

Yes he does - and I hope somebody has the courage to explain this to him in private before he loses sentience.  Terminal brain disease is to be handled in private care, not as a grotesque spectacle.

[txradioguy]

With all due respect Senator...pound sand.

[Sanguine]

Yeah, I don't wish him any ill, but I sure wish he would go away.

[skeeter]

With all due respect Senator...pound sand.

This is exactly what the senator is telling us.

[txradioguy]

This is exactly what the senator is telling us.

And we as well of the voters of Arizona should return the sentiment. 

Trying to use the reality of your own mortality as a cheap ploy to pass a horrible piece of legislation is just sick.

McCain never ran 'against' Obama. I followed the McCain campaign with excitement when he first began to run. But then I noticed that McCain was not serious. He banned anyone at any of his rallies from saying out loud the obvious fact that Obama has a Muslim name, and was raised and educated in a Muslim school in a Muslim country.


McCain did nothing but praise and revere Obama at his campaign stops and banned anyone from saying anything negative about his lack of any experience at all, and his radical past. (because that would be 'racist', doncha know)


No. I don't think McCain was running against Obama. And although this sounds like simple generic hyperbole, I really do believe, sincerely, that McCain would have been the perfect VP to run with Obama, not against him.


Based on all the praise, and wonderful things McCain said about Obama during the campaign, I'm still not completely sure who McCain voted for. I really do believe that it is very possible that McCain voted for Obama, if only to prove to himself how 'diverse' and 'not racist' he is. I really believe that.


McCain was nominated by the GOPe to ensure Obama would win. This is made even more clear with Palin. As soon as Palin began gaining popularity, and McCain's poll numbers began improving, McCain and the GOPe jumped her with all the viciousness of any Liberal Democrat MSM activist, to put her in check and to shut her down. McCain was never supposed to win. And Palin was starting to mess up the plan.
