We need a free press. We must have it. It's vital.
John McCain -
The first pork-barrel bill that crosses my desk, I'm going to veto it and make the authors of those pork-barrel items famous all over America.
John McCain
-
You know, it's interesting for the president to say something that juvenile. I'm not picking on anyone. Again, as we just said, four Americans died! Is that picking on anybody when you want to place responsibility and find out what happened so that we can make sure it doesn't happen again?
John McCain -
If you want to preserve - I'm very serious now - if you want to preserve democracy as we know it, you have to have a free and many times adversarial press. And without it, I am afraid that we would lose so much of our individual liberties over time. That's how dictators get started.
John McCain -
For much of my life, the Navy was the only world I knew. It is still the world I know best and love most.
John McCain -
Like every other 13-year-old in America, she's in love with Leonardo DiCaprio, who I think is an androgynous wimp. You know what he does throughout the whole movie Titanic? He smokes.
John McCain -
Americans and Europeans share a common goal - to build an enduring peace based on freedom.
John McCain -
I'm sick and tired - and the American people are sick and tired - of the pork barrel spending.
John McCain
-
I don't think anybody is - no one could compare to Ronald Reagan, because he was the right man at the right time.
John McCain -
We're no longer staring into the abyss of defeat and we can now look ahead to the genuine prospect of success.
John McCain -
I'm not against a border wall, OK, but go to China, and you'll see a border wall there. We need technology, we need drones, we need surveillance capabilities, and we need rapid-reaction capabilities.
John McCain -
You raise taxes during an economic crisis time, as we did in - back in the time of Herbert Hoover, you send the country into a depression.
John McCain -
We are a country with a conscience.
John McCain -
I'm as frustrated with the French, I think, as anyone, but look, there's going to be other challenges and there are going to be other issues. As long as there's a war on terrorism going on, we're all going to have to work together.
John McCain
-
The American people want us to stop spending. And so let's just give them some certainty. Let's extend the tax - the existing tax cuts. And then let's give some more tax breaks to small businesses and large. And then maybe the American people will have some confidence.
John McCain -
Our recommitment to Afghanistan must include increasing NATO forces, suspending the debilitating restrictions on when and how those forces can fight, expanding the training and equipping of the Afghan National Army through a long-term partnership with NATO to make it more professional and multiethnic, and deploying significantly more foreign police trainers.
John McCain -
You may have noticed that Senator Obama's supporters have been saying some pretty nasty things about western Pennsylvania lately. And you know, I couldn't agree with them more.
John McCain -
Make no mistake: I do not valorize our military out of some unfamiliar instinct. I grew up in a military family, and have my own record of service, and have stayed closely engaged with our armed forces throughout my public career. In the American system, the military has value only inasmuch as it protects and defends the liberties of the people.
John McCain -
We cannot forever hide the truth about ourselves, from ourselves.
John McCain -
I have not been keeping up with it as much as I should have maybe, because it’s certainly-This and Paris Hilton are the kind of issues that seem to get a lot more attention than maybe some of us think they deserve.
John McCain
-
I've always given presidents the benefit of the doubt on their nominees.
John McCain -
And I stopped beating my wife just a couple of weeks ago…
John McCain -
I've tried to say that I admire and respect Sen. Obama. He has accomplished great things, and he has motivated people, and so - and he loves his country, just as I do.
John McCain -
We must win in Iraq. If we withdraw, there will be chaos; there will be genocide; and they will follow us home.
