More quotes by John McCain

John McCain
As you know, there are al Qaeda operatives that are taken back into Iran, given training as leaders, and they’re moving back into Iraq.
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
Giving peace a chance only gives Saddam Hussein more time to prepare for war on his terms, at a time of his choosing, in pursuit of ambitions that will only grow as his power to achieve them grows.

John McCain
When you run ads saying you are going to save social security, my friend, that's all hat and no cattle.
John McCain

John McCain
Being chairman of the Senate Commerce Committee is like being a mosquito in a nudist colony.
John McCain
We know for a fact the Russians tried to change the outcome of our election, attacking the very fundamental of democracy. We know they did that. We need to know how, we need to know why, and most of all we need to know what to do to prevent this kind of activity, which they continue to carry on in free nations around the world.
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
They're all tied together: taxes, Medicare, Social Security, and the debt. We've got to have a setting of priorities, and looking at it - at each of them as disconnected, I think, doesn't properly address these major challenges.
John McCain
I think it's an urgent plea for us all to sit down together.
John McCain
I will follow Osama bin Laden to the gates of hell.
John McCain
I strongly support the Second Amendment and I believe the Second Amendment ought to be preserved - which means no gun control.
