John McCain
I will follow Osama bin Laden to the gates of hell.
John McCain
We should be able to deliver bottled hot water to dehydrated babies.

John McCain
We know that this nation entered into solemn treaties [with Indian tribes] which have been continuously violated for more than 250 years. It's a disgrace. It's an outrage. We must do everything in our power to keep those treaties. Otherwise, the word of the United States government is no good.
John McCain
Just stop at one of these construction sites and look and see who those workers are. They're all Hispanic ... And I bet you they're illegal.
John McCain
We conservatives can win the ideological battles on a level playing field. Our ideas are better. Given fair elections based on contributions from regular voters, instead of $100,000 checks from business-as-usual special interests, we will prevail.
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
Vladimir Putin is a war criminal.
John McCain
I have fought against excessive spending my entire career.

John McCain
That's Joe Biden right there - unbowed, unbroken and unable to stop talking.
John McCain

John McCain
My patriotism and my conscience required me to support it and to engage in the debate over whether and how to fight it.
John McCain
We cannot forever hide the truth about ourselves from ourselves.
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
Rogue states are the main threat to peace and freedom, and they require a strong, comprehensive policy response - a policy that I call 'rogue state rollback,' in which our goal is not simply to contain rogue regimes, but to drive them from power.
John McCain
Some of us are more favorably disposed than others.
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
Now we've got the cables. We've got talk radio. We've got the bloggers. I hate the bloggers.
