I will ask Congress to grant me the privilege of coming before both houses to take questions, and address criticism, much the same as the Prime Minister of Great Britain appears regularly before the House of Commons.
“There is no longer any place in the world al Qaeda can consider a safe haven.”
Well, except Pakistan.
“We will continue towards our goal of one party: the Dhimmicratic People’s Party.”
What is this guy smoking?
The United States has experienced several years of robust economic growth, and Americans again have confidence in their economic future.
Really? On what planet?
“Illegal immigrants who broke our laws after they came here have been arrested and deported. Illegal immigration has been finally brought under control, and the American people accepted the practical necessity to institute a temporary worker program and deal humanely with the millions of immigrants who have been in this country illegally.”
WTF? Is he drunk or just stupid ( I know I am being rhetorical ). The American people let it be known on their last attempt at amnesty that we did not want it.
McCain is just as big a liar as Hussein and Hillary. Thank you RINO’s and independents. You have nominated a Democrat to run as a conservative thus giving this country no choice but to elect a socialist ir an idiot.
“Illegal immigrants who broke our laws *after* they came here have been arrested and deported.”
If they hadn’t broken our laws by coming here, you wouldn’t have to use the adjective “illegal”, Juan.
“...Older workers who accept lower paying jobs while they acquire new skills are provided assistance to make up a good part of the income they have lost. Community colleges and technical schools all over the country have developed worker retraining programs suited to the specific economic opportunities available in their communities and are helping millions of workers who have lost a job that won’t come back find a new one that won’t go away....”
That will go along way for McCain, the rest of the Republican Party should take notice, the bitterness that Globalism has caused far surpasses the Iraq War sentiments.
Hey, come on folks, what do you want the guy to say?
We need someone to actually tell us what they are going to do, and not just offer “hope” “change” “fairness” that we all know are buzz words for true marxist-leninist rule.
No, I don’t agree with McCain on many issues. I think his acceptance of cap & trade & global warming is nuts at best. After his global warming speech I didn’t think I’d vote for him. But after having swallowed a few more rationalizations....
There’s a lot here I agree with in terms of a general direction for our country. Heck, I might be persuaded to vote for him just for his position on health care.
So let’s be real. Maybe he’s sincere and maybe he’s not. With the alternative, we KNOW what we’d get.
Contrast it with the gross statism and socialism of the other two.
McCain will make a great POTUS.
I was panicking when that immigration quote was posted earlier, out of context.
Whew, but still holding firm on voting for him, warily.
So in the future he intends to once again force amnesty down our throats. Some things never change. My hope at this point is a Conservative runs on the third party ticket so I don't have to do a write-in on the Presidential spot.
“¿Donde esta el baño?”
Who does he think will be president those four years?
He forgot to talk about how his hamstringing the US economy with the cap-and-trade carbon market will destroy jobs and GDP.
Isn't McCain the only Repub Senator who has consistently voted against drilling in ANWAR?
The only way we can become independent of foreign sources of oil is by drilling our own vast oil reserves in Alaska, the Gulf of Mexico, and the continental shelf around the North American continent. The Dept of the Interior estimates that there is enough recoverable crude under the continental shelf alone to last 26 years, but our oil companies aren't allowed to drill it because of the enviro-whackos' influence with Democrats and turncoats like McCain.
Meanwhile, China is busy drilling wells and pumping oil out of the Florida Straits 50 miles from FLorida's coastline and refining it in a Cuban refinery. Are we that dumb, or are our "leaders" criminally insane?
How can anybody possibly vote for somebody that has bought into the GW myth? Of course, all the candidates have bought into the GW myth except Inoye and he isn’t running.
Thanks for posting; I’m glad to see a Presidential canidate offering more Obama’s “change” nonsense. McCain has mapped out his goals for the country and invited all of us to give input. It’s a good way to let democracy proceed.
I hope to see good rational discussion on every one of his points!
Clueless! All of them! Totaly clueless!
I hope November 4 is a nice day so I can go golfing.
He left out the part about us freezing in our cold, dark homes because we can no longer afford electricity. He also left out the 15% uemployment rate because we “punished” the rich by increasing their taxes. Of course that doesn’t matter because nobody can afford gasoline to drive to work anyway.
Did you notice how small the “Energy” portion was? Basically, “Yeah, we waved the magic wand, and we have a green substitute for oil and gasoline and we’re no longer dependent on banana republics in South America and the M.E. That wasn’t so hard was it?”
As far as speeches go, it is a good early campaign speech, but will not work as we move through the campaign.
Fat Teddy's favorite sock puppet is off his meds again!
“So, what I want to do today is take a little time to describe what I would hope to have achieved at the end of my first term as President.”
This backstabbing jerk wants TWO terms. Now I’m DEFINATELY not voting for him.
Did McCain really say this or is this a bloggist’s writing what he wishes McCain would say? I’m confused.
I want McCain to win as he is the least of the evil that the Democrats have planned for us. I prefer McCain only has one term and doesn’t do much in office other than act to defend us from foreign enemies, protect the homeland and let the free economy solve problems, not government. I don’t want any big McCain projects as his ideas are too close to what harm the Democrats intend.
Finally a Republican who's not afraid to say that we won the war in Iraq. And we won it a long time ago.
“The United States has experienced several years of robust economic growth, and Americans again have confidence in their economic future.”
It is a sad thing when dementia begins to set in.

This is assuming I can believe anything McCain says.
I will never vote for a “Climate Change” policy maker.
Many here obviously don’t play chess.
The first part is intended to draw Obama out. To make him quantify his “Change”. We all know that when Obama is off the stage and has to speak to specifics, he falls apart.
The second part is sprinkled with facts that are often ignored. It also lays out accomplishments achieved up to year 2013, are very moderate and can be realized.
In summary
-A challange to Obama to get off the stage and lay out specifics
-Specific facts that speak to already accomplished goals, the positives vs. negatives that Obama will try and manipulate in the absence of facts
-Specific goals to be accomplished by 2013. Clarity for voters and a direct challange to Obama to do the same.
How much is this going to cost the taxpayers to pay for all the pixie dust that will be required?
He's gonna accomplish this in four years? In what country?
Headline:
Obama proves he's the uniter:
McCain agrees to campaign for Democrats every third week.
Their "anti-war," pro-Ho antics kept the Communists' hopes alive, prolonged the war, and cost the lives and limbs of hundred of thousands. They also kept McCain and others in enemy prisons years longer. They were the North Vietnamese Communists' "most valuable guerrillas." Every time he "reaches across the aisle" he likely embraces one of the pukes.
Are their loyalties really any different today?
Or.. knowing how these lying vile creatures behave is he hoping the voters will contrast them with his clean, compassionate campaign? If so, fat chance the MSM employees will cooperate by making the difference known.
He's going to bring a "new tone" to the politics in Washington. What a novel idea. Never been tried before by a Republican.

A top to bottom review of every federal bureaucracy has yielded great reductions in government spending by identifying programs that serve no important purpose; and instigating far reaching reforms of procurement and operating policies that have for too long extravagantly wasted money for no better purpose than to increase federal payrolls.
McCain is actually in agreement with the Founder's intentions for constitutional restrictions on federal government spending. So killing two (three?) birds with one stone, here is one reason why we want McCain for president and not Obama or Clinton.
From another post...
Why don't we seize the opportunity provided by the MSM's shoving of Obama down our throats to permanently de-claw the IRS?
This post (<-click), while addressing taxes, helps to explain why government "leaders" like Obama are actually in contempt of the Constitution that they have sworn to defend, foolishly following in the footsteps of FDR's dirty federal spending politics. In fact, the article referenced below shows that Obama is the #1 federal spending proposer in the Senate for '08; Clinton is #2.
Obama, a big-shot federal spenderThe people need to reconnect with the Founder's division of federal and state government powers. The people then need to wise up to the major problem that the federal government is not operating within the restraints of the federal Constitution, particularly where constitutionally unauthorized federal spending is concerned.
The bottom line is that the people need to send big-shot, Constitution-ignoring federal spenders like Obama home as opposed to trying to send people like him to the Oval Office. The people need to get in the faces of the feds, demanding a stop to constitutionally unauthorized federal spending while appropriately lowering federal taxes - or get out of DC.
This revolution in teaching methods has especially benefited rural America. Test scores and graduation rates are rising everywhere in the country.
Ben Stein seems to be more aware of major constitutional problems with the way that public schools are being run than McCain is, and Ben Stein needs help.
This post (<-click), from a thread concerning Bible legislation for public schools, helps to identify major constitutional problems with the way that our public schools are being run.
Scores of judges have been confirmed to the federal district and appellate courts, including the U.S. Supreme Court, who understand that they were not sent there to write our laws but to enforce them and make sure they are consistent with the Constitution. They are judges of exceptional character and quality, who enforce and do not make laws, and who respect the values of the people whose rights, laws and property they are sworn to defend.Border state governors have certified and the American people recognize that after tremendous improvements to border security infrastructure and increases in the border patrol, and vigorous prosecution of companies that employ illegal aliens, our southern border is now secure.
McCain is at best hitting the side of the barn on judges. Judges and their special-interest interpretations of the Constitution are a part of the problem but not the main part.
The bottom line problem with our system is that ignorance of the Constitution and its history is epidemic. Widespread constitutional ignorance is evidenced not only by McCain's part in the McCain - Feingold Act, but also the following links.
http://tinyurl.com/npt6tThe consequence of widespread constitutional ignorance is that judges and people like McCain are unthinking walking all over our constitutional freedoms.

As to how we got into this constitutional mess in the first place...
This post (<-click), while addressing taxes, helps to explain how 10th A. protected state powers got politically repealed when FDR established his constitutionally unauthorized New Deal programs.
