More quotes by John McCain
But we have a war of ideals and ideas, and that is to sell democracy.
John McCain
We know that this nation entered into solemn treaties [with Indian tribes] which have been continuously violated for more than 250 years. It's a disgrace. It's an outrage. We must do everything in our power to keep those treaties. Otherwise, the word of the United States government is no good.
John McCain
I've seen enough killing in my life. I know how precious human life is and I don't need a lecture from you.
John McCain
We know that Medicare's going broke in seven years, but we need to start over. That's what the American people want us to do.
John McCain
Right now there’s kind of a generational change. Young Americans do not trust this government. Without trusting government you can't do a lot of things.
John McCain
I think that decisions should rest in the hands of the states. I'm a federalist.
John McCain
I think the American people should know there's already strong influences toward another deployment of American troops in an open-ended commitment.
John McCain
There's one big difference between me and the others - I won't take every last dime of the surplus and spend it on tax cuts that mostly benefit the wealthy. I'll use the bulk of the surplus to secure Social Security far into the future to keep our promise to the greatest generation.
John McCain
I'm ashamed that Congress finds billions for pork-barrel subsidies but fails to find money for veterans' health care.
John McCain
I'm a proud Reagan conservative.
John McCain
Senator Obama voted against Justice Breyer and Justice Roberts on the grounds that they didn't meet his ideological standards. That's not the way we should judge these nominees. Elections have consequences.
John McCain
I was an addict. That's why, ... I tell you, addiction is a very cunning enemy.
John McCain
How does it make sense to remove an option, to tell your enemy before you go into a conflict, that you will not exercise whatever options are necessary in order to achieve victory?
John McCain
I am proud to be a conservative ... but I am also proud throughout my life to have attracted the support and the love and affection of people from all over America and all parts of it.
John McCain
I guarantee you, as president of the United States, I know how to heal the wounds of war, I know how to deal with our adversaries, and I know how to deal with our friends.
John McCain
I intend to do what I can, working with my congressional colleagues, Republicans and Democrats, to help bring about the changes to the practices and Institutions of our democracy that they want and deserve.
John McCain
I believe that Congress will and must act before then to renew its objections to multiple and discriminatory taxes on the Internet, as well as to taxes that inhibit Internet access.
John McCain
I hate the gooks. I will hate them as long as I live.
John McCain
I appreciate our government's determination to investigate the circumstances surrounding the death of the Bytyqi brothers, which Serbia's Interior Minister has rightly called 'an exceptionally serious crime,' and hope the Serbian government's pledge of full cooperation... is matched by a final accounting of their murder.
John McCain
But I also want to change the dynamics of this debate, which has kept us gridlocked into positions which caused people to shoot at abortion clinics and other Americans to view it as the only issue in American politics, ... There are areas we can agree on. ... We need to work together to eliminate abortion.
John McCain
