More quotes by John McCain

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
I spent most of my time wrestling looking up at the lights.
John McCain
