John McCain

Both Frist and McCain say they have enough votes in the full Senate to confirm him.

The position is too important to be left empty. They've painted Democrats as obstructionists.

Bolton's already been nominated -- already been confirmed four times by the Senate for other diplomatic posts. Why is this time different?

This agreement is meant in the finest traditions of the Senate it was entered into: trust, respect and mutual desire to see the institution of the Senate function in ways that protect the rights of the minority.

Senator McCain asserts the Senate won and the country won.

I'm grateful for the efforts of Senator Frist and Senator Reid to come to an agreement on this issue.

We're here, 14 Republicans and Democrats, seven on each side, to announce that we have reached an agreement to try to avert a crisis in the United States Senate and pull the institution back from a precipice that would have had, in the…

In 1934, the Indian Reorganization Act provided broad discretionary authority to the Secretary of the Interior to take land into trust for Indian tribes.

If baseball doesn't deal with steroids, Congress will.

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.

Of course we're friendly. Of course. And do you consider the president of the United States a, quote, 'friend'? I don't know exactly how you describe that, but we certainly have an excellent relationship.

I'm doing this because I think it's right, and my ambitions right now are to be reelected to the United States Senate. And I hope that people that know me well would not accept that this, that I'm doing this for any crass political…

The president and our party should be uniting all Republicans and all Americans, not dividing them.

The war on terror is a vital -- the vital aspect of our future as a nation, and I believe that President Bush has led with strength and clarity.

He said that they were going to try to clamp down on that. If that didn't happen, they would use some sort of legislative action.

He is satisfied, that he's appreciative of what the president has done.

He said that the Bush campaign was going to take legal action to make sure those political groups, outside groups, would not run those political ads.

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.

Dishonest and dishonorable

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