More quotes by John McCain
But we have a war of ideals and ideas, and that is to sell democracy.
John McCain
I put the Vietnam War behind me a long time ago, and what I wanted to (do) among other things was help veterans also be able to come all the way home as some of our veterans have not been able to do. But I harbor no anger nor rancor. I'm a better man for my experience, and I'm grateful for having the opportunity of serving.
John McCain
Don't let anyone tell you otherwise - not our political opponents, and certainly not a disingenuous filmmaker, who would have us believe.
John McCain
I said, 'The nice thing about Alzheimer's is you get to hide your own Easter eggs.'
John McCain
War is awful. Nothing, not the valor with which it is fought nor the nobility of the cause it serves, can glorify war. War is wretched beyond description and only a fool or a fraud could sentimentalize its cruel reality. Whatever is won in war, it is loss the veteran remembers.
John McCain
Americans have gotten to know Sarah Palin. They know that she's a role model to women and other - and reformers all over America. She's a reformer.
John McCain
We've got to start also holding people accountable, and we've got to reward people who succeed. But somehow in Washington today - and I'm afraid on Wall Street - greed is rewarded, excess is rewarded, and corruption - or certainly failure to carry out our responsibility is rewarded.
John McCain
I think that decisions should rest in the hands of the states. I'm a federalist.
John McCain
I think my major challenge, very frankly, is to maintain the traction, ... I've seen many campaigns here in the state of New Hampshire look good for a while, and then the air comes out of the balloon.
John McCain
The way you have bipartisan negotiations, you sit down across the table, as we did with Ted Kennedy, as I've done with many other members, and you say, 'OK, here's what I want, here's what you want. We'll adhere to your principles, but we'll make concessions.'
John McCain
I am all in favor of pay equity for women, but this kind of legislation, as is typical of what's being proposed by my friends on the other side of the aisle, opens us up to lawsuits for all kinds of problems.
John McCain
All interested parties must be willing to make significant sacrifices.
John McCain
Americans want to win bin Laden thinks he's winning now.
John McCain
I don’t e-mail, I’ve never felt the particular need to e-mail.
John McCain
I would vote for a Muslim if he or she was the best candidate able to lead the country and defend our political values.
John McCain
I guess he believes if a lie is big enough and repeated often enough, it will be believed.
John McCain
I have campaigned for reform efforts all over the country, ... What happens in California has significant effect in states like mine that are nearby. It's just a reality.
John McCain
We should exhibit no self doubt to our friends, ... Credibility is a strategic asset.
John McCain
We are an unfinished nation.
John McCain
It's impossible to imagine the Democratic Party seeking a pro-life, free-trading, non-protectionist deficit hawk.
John McCain
