Where was this McCain four years ago? This is actually the best speech I have heard from him.
You know what strikes me? He’s really hot about fighting for FREEDOM in the world...but is utterly ignorant about our losses of freedom HERE in AMERICA.
Otherwise- McC seems VERY old and tired.
McCain is good on national security, I’ll give him that. Glad that’s what he chose to talk about.
too bad he is sooooooo bland..no wonder he lost.
Syria, Iran. How many more wars would President McCain have started.
“When I hear his voice, all I can hear is, ‘We have nothing to fear from an Obama presidency!’ “
My thoughts exactly!
ROFL
McCain bringing some foreign policy to the floor.
“People don’t want less of America. They want more.”
“I trust (Romney) to know if America doesn’t lead, our adversaries will, and the world will get darker and more dangerous”
“I trust (Romney) to know that America is the best hope for mankind”
America must be on the right side of history.
Do we still have faith in ourselves
If america doesn’t lead, our enemies will
Lol...real story...my husband of 32 years got a similar brush off in the beginning in college. Probably a good thing as it turns out. We met again a few years later when I was looking for the real deal and a good man!! I am a lucky woman!!
But, most of us weren’t voting FOR him, we were voting against Obama. That was the heaviest lever I ever had to pull down when I voted for McCain.
“My friend, Gov Mitt Romney”-—McCain. LOL
Oh, politics does make strange bedfellows!
I’m not sure if that speech helped Romney..It was good at the tearing apart of Oboz’s foreign policy but at the end it sounded like we were going to ‘save everyone”..yeesh.
Darn good speech by McVAIN...WOW!
Actually I was voting FOR Palin.
Jerusalem, the Capitol of Israel.
WHOOO HOO!!!!
All of those statements are true but still I hope that Romney doesn’t take too much foreign policy advice from McCain.
A little musical this-and-that for dancing in the aisles!
Chris Matthews: This was a frighting...frighting speech.
Somebody get the guy a straight jacket.
Isn’t that the guitarist from SNL?
