"John McCain was very active and supportive during my confirmation hearings to be the U.S. Ambassador to the UN. His belief in me at that time was a testament to his courage to fight the liberals in the Senate and vigorously advance American interests at the UN.
"I whole-heartedly endorse John McCain for President because when he takes office in January 2009 he will be prepared immediately to lead us. John will not need on the job training.
"American conservatives will have a President they can be proud of in John McCain."

Ok all you Bolton fans. The tough guy wants McCain.
Even the tough guy is not right on every issue.
McCain has enough endorsements from people living inside the beltway, right now some votes from people living in Kansas, Lousiana, and Washington would do him more good.
Many FReepers use to really like John Bolton.
If McCain gets the nom, I'll vote for him... and hope remaining conservatives in congress, and here in the public, can keep us from Shamnesty, steer John on SCOTUS appts, etc.
Sure beats letting Soros and company getting too much of a foothold.
We are all human. Bolton shows his hand in his statement. McCain supported Bolton, so Bolton supports McCain. Bolton's view of McCain is about as reasoned and objective as McCain's is with regard to the treatment of POWs. I honor McCain's service to the country. I do not however, believe he is fit to be president. I respect John Bolton, but I disagree with his position on McCain.
I like John Bolton but I don’t agree with him.
He is our best option at this point.
I did a check of his voting record and it looks more conservative than what Bush has offered up for the past 8 years.
Look it comes down to this: McCain-Kennedy, McCain-Feingold.
The position of the McCainiacs seems to be that if our liberties are taken away by someone with an "R" by their name it is not only ok, but good since the one with the "D" by their name would be taking away even more of our liberties.
How pathetic. That is not what our forefathers fought and died for. Not by a long shot.
Just wow. Another one bites the dust. Let the Bolton bashing begin.
If Bolton could get McCain to agree to KICK THE UN out of the US....I’d be convinced to vote for McCain next week....otherwise.....pffft
This election is really showing us who owes who.
Bolton bit the dust months ago when he let it be known that he was pro-amnesty. I used to be a fan.
It IS turning into bizarro world after all. Maybe I’ll just start doing drugs.
How about Bolton for VP? Boy that would be a kick in the pants! And we won’t need any stinkin’ confirmations from the Senate this time...
