The McCain Update - July 20, 2007



Early this week, John McCain kept up his campaign momentum with a swing through New Hampshire for a series of Town Hall meetings with primary voters. He then flew cross-country to California to address a business forum in Silicon Valley before hopping a plane back to Washington where he participated in the Senate slumber party. Giving a rousing speech in support of our servicemen and women at 3:45 in the morning, John remarked,
"I have one responsibility that outweighs all the others - and that is to do
everything in my power, to use whatever meager talents I possess, and every
resource God has granted me to protect the security of this great and good
nation from all enemies foreign and domestic. And that I intend to do."
Next week, look for John to address the Southwest Michigan Economic Club, where he will deliver his message of fiscal responsibility and government reform. He'll then head to New Hampshire to participate in a "Meet The Candidates" forum with the Greater Manchester Chamber of Commerce.

"History will revere the honor and the sacrifice of those
Americans, who despite the mistakes and failures of both civilian and military
leaders, shouldered a rifle and risked everything - everything - so that the
country they love so well might not suffer the many dangerous consequences of
defeat."

Power Line Blog Calls McCain "A Man Address[ing] The Boys": "McCain's statement is ... the definitive statement of where we are now and where we need to go in Iraq." - Power Line Blog, 7/18/07

John McCain:

"Many of my colleagues would like to believe that, should the withdrawal
amendment we are currently debating become law, it would mark the end of this
long effort. They are wrong. Should the Congress force a precipitous withdrawal
from Iraq, it would mark a new beginning, the start of a new, more dangerous,
and more arduous effort to contain the forces unleashed by our
disengagement."

John McCain's Message:
"I'd like to remind you there was another time in America's history,
back in the 1970's when we lost another war, and we lost it and it took our
military a long time to recover. ... My dear friends, out of the West came the
governor of California. A man who knew that the Berlin Wall was going to come
down, who knew that the Cold War was going to be won, that our Judeo-Christian
principled nation was still the best in the world and we're still a beacon of
hope and liberty and freedom all over the world. And my friends, that's true
today, that's as true today as it was then."
