More quotes by John McCain
...Sound foreign policy is more than arms control, foreign aid and paying (United Nations) dues.
John McCain
My preference would be to remain in the Senate, ... But you can't say I would refuse to serve in one of those (Cabinet) capacities. It's not the same as vice president.
John McCain
That's give [Donald Trump] so much attention. And it's so funny. There actually have conflicting opinions on women in combat, in the military. So they have all the issues that stake. I'm more concerned with the VA than anything else.
John McCain
I have fought against excessive spending my entire career. And I got plans to reduce and eliminate unnecessary and wasteful spending and if there's anybody here who thinks there aren't agencies of government where spending can be cut and their budgets slashed they have not spent a lot of time in Washington.
John McCain
But we have a war of ideals and ideas, and that is to sell democracy.
John McCain
I don't know how you defeat an insurgency unless you have some handle on the number of people that you are facing.
John McCain
In the Washington soft money game, big business and big labor are accomplices working together to protect the mushy middle of big government, with plenty of special interest plums: Big unions get big spending and big business gets corporate welfare and special tax breaks - all at the expense of average Americans.
John McCain
I said, 'The nice thing about Alzheimer's is you get to hide your own Easter eggs.'
John McCain
I have said for a long time that I thought the president would be best served if the attorney general resigned so I think it's the right thing to do.
John McCain
Some of us are more favorably disposed than others.
John McCain
Nothing in life is more liberating than to fight for a cause larger than yourself, something that encompasses you but is not defined by your existence alone.
John McCain
What is good for my country is good for my party, Should my party abandon this principle, the American people will abandon us.
John McCain
The point to me is not what Donald Trump is saying because we keep reacting to just things he says in his tweets. What he is doing is important.
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
The smartest person in the United States Senate, and he knows it, is John Sununu. Thank God he had his mother's temperament.
John McCain
It's the only way that I see that it can be done, McCain said. Obviously, it has failed in the past, but I also notice there is a somewhat changed attitude on the part of the American people about this issue.
John McCain
We send cruise missiles and then we think everything's all right or we try to bring them to trial. My friends, this time they've gone too far. This time we're serious. This time we won't quit until they are gone, completely gone from the face of the earth
John McCain
War is wretched beyond description, and only a fool or a fraud could sentimentalize its cruel reality.
John McCain
Gary Bauer has done great things, ... I want to promise you again, you may agree with me, you may disagree with me, but I will do great things.
John McCain
I want to emphasis again, Governor (Thomas) Kean and Congressman (Lee) Hamilton pointed out that congressional oversight also was a major contributor to our failures prior to 9/11 and that has to be fixed as well.
John McCain
