More quotes by 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 have known Trent Lott for 20 years, ... I don't believe he's racist. But he must proactively send a message to his colleagues in the Senate and the American people that he is absolutely opposed to any segregation in any form and racism in any form and discrimination in any form.
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
I think that when you look at the great politicians, the two greatest in my view were George Washington and Abraham Lincoln, they certainly had character traits.

John McCain
I'm a proud Reagan conservative.
John McCain

John McCain
There's a misnomer that Hillary Clinton is as hawkish as I am, basically.
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
Washington is a Hollywood for ugly people. Hollywood is a Washington for the simpleminded.
John McCain
America's image throughout the world is very bad.
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
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
While Secretary Rumsfeld and I have had our differences, he deserves Americans' respect and gratitude for his many years of public service.
John McCain
If we do nothing, we are handing our children a ticking time bomb that will require they pay ever greater payroll taxes just as they are beginning their careers, starting their own families and staking their claim to the American Dream.
John McCain
I said, 'The nice thing about Alzheimer's is you get to hide your own Easter eggs.'
John McCain
We are Americans first, Americans last, and Americans always.
John McCain
Now we've got the cables. We've got talk radio. We've got the bloggers. I hate the bloggers.
