More quotes by John McCain
After all this time and all this, quote, experience, how is she [Hillary Clinton] not better at this [military]?
John McCain
We are taught to understand, correctly, that courage is not the absence of fear, but the capacity for action despite our fears.
John McCain
Today more people lose their seats in the Politburo in Havana than in the Congress of America, ... We need to have competitive races for the Legislature. ... We have to have a clash of ideas.
John McCain
That does not mean we won't experience the tragedy of the loss of some American lives. We will have an opportunity to instill a democracy in Iraq which will be an example and perhaps force other nations in that region to move in the same direction.
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
There is no moral equivalent between that butcher and thug and KGB colonel Vladimir Putin and the United States of America, the country that Ronald Reagan used to call a shining city on a hill.
John McCain
I think where [Donald Trump] loses most hawkish republicans is when he talking about how much he likes [Vladimir] Putin. That should make any person who believe in the American exceptionalism, incredibly uncomfortable.
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 am the son and grandson of Navy admirals, and I was born into America's service. It wasn't until I was deprived of her company that I fell in love with America.
John McCain
I am confident, with the leadership and the backing of the American people, President Obama will turn this country around.
John McCain
We got results that would not have been possible without a negotiating partner like Joe Biden.
John McCain
Unfortunately, Governor Bush is a Pat Robertson Republican who will lose to Al Gore.
John McCain
Our political differences, now matter how sharply they are debated, are really quite narrow in comparison to the remarkably durable national consensus on our founding convictions.
John McCain
I hate the gooks. I will hate them as long as I live.
John McCain
It's a tough path to citizenship. You've got to pay back taxes. You've got to learn English. You've got to have a clear record. You've got to get to the back of the line behind other people who have come here legally or even waiting legally.
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
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
On my honor, I swear to you, that from my first day in office to the last breath I draw, I will do everything in my power to make you proud of your government.
John McCain
Men and women serving in the military deserve better than what they're giving - what we're giving them. They don't know what they're going to be doing tomorrow.
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
