John McCain

Senator Obama is running to spread the wealth. I'm running to create wealth.

Senator Obama is running to be redistributionist in chief. I'm running to be commander in chief.

I'm running to be commander in chief.

He favors higher taxes on investment for -- quote -- 'fairness.' There's nothing fair about driving our economy into the ground.

And, by the way, when two mavericks join up, we don't agree on everything, but that's a lot of fun.

If I'm elected president, I will fight to shake up Washington and take America in a new direction from my first day in office until my last. I'm not afraid of the fight. I'm ready for it.

We're going to clean it up and we're going to fix it. And she's going to show them what reform is all about the same way she did in the state of Alaska, my friends.

He favors higher taxes on investment for, quote, 'fairness.' There's nothing fair about driving our economy into the ground. Senator Obama is running to be redistributionist-in-chief. I'm running to be commander-in-chief.

And by the way, when two mavericks join up, we don't agree on everything, but that's a lot of fun.

He didn't tell the American people the truth, because he didn't. And that's -- that's an unfortunate part.

We can't spend the next four years as we have spent much of the last eight, hoping for our luck to change at home and abroad. We have to act. We need a new direction.

That's what change means for the Obama administration, the redistributor.

Senator Obama is measuring the drapes. He's planned his first address to the nation before the election. I guess I'm old-fashioned about these things. I prefer to let the voters weigh in before predicting the outcome.

He didn't tell the American people the truth because he didn't and that's an unfortunate part.

Let me give you the state of the race today. There's eight days to go, we're a few points down. The pundits have written us off just like they have done before four or five times. My opponent is working out the details with Speaker Pelosi…

This is the fundamental difference between Senator Obama and me. We both disagree with President Bush on economic policy. The difference is he thinks taxes have been too low and I think spending has been too high.

It's been a long campaign and after months of campaign trail eloquence, we finally learned what Senator Obama's economic goal is. As he told Joe the plumber back in Ohio, he wants to, quote, 'spread the wealth around.'

It's been a long campaign, there've been a lot of words and after months of campaign trail eloquence, we finally learned what Senator Obama's economic goal is.

Whatever the question, whatever the issue, there's always a back story with Senator Obama.

You know, Senator Obama may say he's trying to soak the rich, but it's the middle class who are going to get through the wringer.

The answer to a slowing economy is not higher taxes, but that's exactly what's going to happen when the Democrats have total control of Washington.

A vote for John McCain is a vote for George W. Bush.

We shouldn't be taxing our small businesses more, as Senator Obama wants to do. We need to be helping them expand their businesses and create jobs.

Why not talk about calling us to be something greater than ourselves rather than -- you know, they started out attacking Barack on sex education. Remember that one? Like he was some kind of a pervert or something.

You know, he is a man of profound personal courage, and the suffering and service he gave this country ought to be honored in particular by Democrats like me. Why not go out with some class and some dignity?
