I don't know how you can have this level of mismanagement at the U.N., this big of a scandal, and not say to the man at the top that you had nothing to do with it.

America is under attack by depraved enemies who oppose our every interests and hate every value we hold dear. It is the great test of our generation and he has led with great moral clarity and firm resolve.

It should remain an argument among friends who share an unshaken belief in our great cause, and in the goodness of each other, we are Americans first, Americans last, and Americans always.

I have a lot of respect for John McCain. I mean, he spent all those years being, you know, locked up, and starved and brainwashed. Why would Karl Rove do that to him?

I've given thought to '08, 12, 16, 20, but not really. I've given only thought to my reelection efforts in the state of Arizona.

dishonest and dishonorable

The president today missed a chance again for the 14th day in a row to say that these ads are dishonest and despicable, the words of John McCain.

The hope is McCain will convince those moderate Republicans and swing voters who backed him back then to back Mr. Bush now.

McCain is now a very public supporter of the Bush-Cheney ticket.

There's not much question, once again, 38 percent of his tax cut to the wealthiest 1 percent of Americans. My friends -- my friends, I don't think Bill Gates needs a tax cut.
