More quotes by John McCain
[Vladimir] Putin supporting Bashar al-Assad, helping with the Syrian refugee crisis and, I think for any republican, he [Donald Trump] has got to stop saying this, because I was with him. I was with him and he said that, it was like, I'm out. I'm out. It's too crazy.
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
It's impossible to imagine the Democratic Party seeking a pro-life, free-trading, non-protectionist deficit hawk.
John McCain
The role of the vice president is to break ties in the Senate and inquire daily into the health of the president.
John McCain
As a governor and senator, John Chafee set the standard for honesty and decency that the rest of us on our best days could only dream to emulate.
John McCain
Some of us are more favorably disposed than others.
John McCain
Now we've got the cables. We've got talk radio. We've got the bloggers. I hate the bloggers.
John McCain
We've got to start also holding people accountable, and we've got to reward people who succeed. But somehow in Washington today - and I'm afraid on Wall Street - greed is rewarded, excess is rewarded, and corruption - or certainly failure to carry out our responsibility is rewarded.
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
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
We are Americans first, Americans last, and Americans always.
John McCain
I believe that we're going to find out that America made a lot of mistakes diplomatically, economically, militarily, intel-wise. But, I also think we're going to find out the U.S. has done a lot of good things too.
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
That's Joe Biden right there - unbowed, unbroken and unable to stop talking.
John McCain
But certainly in the short term, or even the long term, I would not support repeal of Roe v. Wade, which would then force X number of women in America to [undergo] illegal and dangerous operations.
John McCain
Torture gives you reliable and unreliable information. That's the reason why most people in the world don't do it. So this idea that you have to torture people in order to protect national security is a false argument, and I reject it.
John McCain
We are an unfinished nation.
John McCain
Suppose that climate change is not real and all we do is adopt green technologies, which our economy and our technology is perfectly capable of. Then all we've done is given our kids a cleaner world.
John McCain
I don't doubt the sincerity of my Democratic friends. And they should not doubt ours.
John McCain
But I'm still a work in progress. My mother calls me quite frequently with various critiques of my performance on TV and other public events. She's usually pretty severe with her comments.
John McCain
