John McCain

Will we enact the largest single tax increase since the Second World War as my opponent proposes or will we keep taxes low for families and employers? That's a question that will be asked. This election offers Americans a very distinct…

Senator Clinton has earned great respect for her tenacity and courage. The media often overlooked how compassionately she spoke to the concerns and dreams of millions of Americans. And she deserves a lot more appreciation than she…

I will leave it to my opponent to propose returning to the failed big government mandates of the '60s and '70s.

These numbers are -- are very disturbing. They're the worst in 22 years, I am told. Americans are hurting. American families are hurting. American homeowners are hurting. And this is a very, very serious situation.

I have a few years on my opponent, so I'm surprised that a young man has bought into so many failed ideas.

This is indeed a change election, but the choice is between the right change and the wrong change, between going forward and going backward.

You want to talk about health care? Johns McCain want to do for the health care industry what the Republicans did for the credit card industry. They want to deregulate it and let people be able to choose their health care.

Now why is it that Senator Obama wants to sit down with the president of Iran, but hasn't yet sat down with General Petraeus, the leader of our troops in Iraq?

That's why I'm urging Senator Obama to listen and to learn.

I will never surrender in Iraq, my friends. I will never surrender in Iraq.

Many believe all we need to do to end the nuclear programs of hostile governments is to have our president talk with leaders in Pyongyang and Tehran, as if we haven't tried talking to these governments repeatedly over the past two decades.

John McCain has said many times over the years military service is not a requirement to be president.

Emotionally, you are on the wrong side, you can never win an emotional battle of an intellectual argument.

I will not accept from Senator Obama, who did not feel it was his responsibility to serve our country in uniform, any lectures on my regard for those who did.

I'm very honored by Pastor John Hagee's endorsement today.

Well, I just think that the statement is crazy and unacceptable.

The point is that the fact that he has made an apology, I think, is very helpful. Whenever someone apologizes for something they did wrong, then, I think that that's a laudable thing to do.

May I just say that, when someone endorses me, that does not mean that I embrace their views. That means that they are supporting me.

I wasn't -- I didn't go to this guy's church for 20 years. I didn't claim he affected my world view, far from it.

Today, after weeks of questions and controversy, McCain in a very public way rejected the backing of this man, Pastor John Hagee, a prominent and polarizing evangelical minister.

I think that people should be able to enter into legal agreements, and I think that that is something that we should encourage. I just believe in the unique status of marriage between man and woman.

So, if Senator Obama is favored by Hamas, I think people can make judgments accordingly.

I believe there's no place for that kind of dialogue in America.
