I don't believe that those days will ever return

I grew up drinking Vernors and watching ballgames at Michigan and Trumbull. Cars got in my bones early. And not just any cars, American cars.” Proof that Romney can talk out of both sides of his mouth on this issue came during his 2008 primary against...

South Carolina even though its governor Nikki Haley campaigned tirelessly for him. Michigan, where Romney was born in 1947, is widely viewed as a must-win state for the Republican frontrunner - and that's certainly how his own campaign views it. In the...

Jobs and the economy are the transcendent issues of this campaign
For all its success in congressional races, the GOP's right wing repeatedly has failed to unite behind a ‘movement conservative’ to be the party's White House nominee. It happened in 2008 with John McCain, and in 1996 with Bob Dole ... Now social conservatives fear it's happening again in, of all places...
We're trying to win the hearts and minds
I don't think there's any doubt. I would say that there was torture. Susan Crawford, a Dick Cheney protegee, said there was torture. John McCain has said waterboarding was torture, and we've admitted we've waterboarded. There have been at least five judges in federal court and military courts that have ...
It is a hit ... Let's be very honest. There is a very strong evangelical movement in South Carolina, particularly inland.
I think both Bob Dole and John McCain felt the brunt of what happens when evangelical Christians sit at home. You can win the Republican nomination without evangelical Christians. I don’t think you can win the general election without them
The Marine Corps prides itself that we don’t lower ourselves to the level of the enemy
No, because last time around John McCain didn't campaign seriously in Iowa and he still came up with the nomination
is still reviewing the issue, and has asked the Navy, the Defense POW/MIA Office and the Joint POW/MIA Accounting Command for their views on it.

I made a joke ... I'm sorry there's at least one of my colleagues that can't take a joke and so I apologize if I offended him and hope that someday he will have a sense of humor.
Romney is a better candidate than he was four years ago ... Two, you get a better sense of what the party is about. John McCain was a more conservative candidate than John McCain in 2000. Mitt Romney already moved to the right in 2008 and tried to solidify his conservative credentials.
Last I checked, Long Island was part--albeit sometimes regrettably--part of the United States of America
If Mitt Romney wins the Republican nomination, it’s all over. Obama wins. We don’t need another John McCain running against Obama.
An individual, no matter who they are, if they pose a threat to the security of the United States of America, should not be allowed to continue that threat
Combine the recent efforts by John McCain to create a police state with the revelations of Paulson’s corruption (crony capitalism) ... and you can only conclude that worse is coming.
I fully support NATO’s commitment to investigate this tragedy thoroughly and immediately ... It is important to note that certain facts in Pakistan continue to complicate significantly the ability of coalition and Afghan forces to succeed in Afghanistan.
Rothstein bundled these contributions to contribute more than $1 million on behalf of RRA to various political committees associated with John McCain’s presidential election campaign
In an exchange I had on the floor I mentioned that the wonderful people and the wonderful Long Island, I made a joke ... I'm sorry that there's at least one of my colleagues that can't take a joke, and so I apologize if I offended him and hope that someday he will have a sense of humor.
NYers can take a joke. But if Sen. John McCain wants to mock parts of America, stick to Arizona
Isn't it true that Justice (Sandra Day) O'Connor was specifically referring to a person who was captured on Long Island? Last I checked, Long Island was part -- albeit sometimes regrettably -- part of the United States of America
Romney once supported Ted Kennedy and John McCain's immigration reform bill, but last week he said he's willing to kick out of America families who have lived in the United States for over a generation.
I don't think he meant it to be malicious, but I didn't want to let it go unanswered.
