Today's John McCain Blogger Conference Call....



7:00AM Arizona Time:

John McCain: "I want to talk about two subjects today. I have spent the past week visiting places 'forgotten' by the American Dream. I just visited Inez, KY where 44 years ago today, President Johnson declared the
War on Poverty. This has proven that over time, local control is much better than Federal control.

I visited
Selma, AL and met with a group of famous quilters. Along with Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal, I went to the 9th Ward in New Oreleans and then onto Xavier University where I met President Dr. Norman Francis, a recipient of the Presidential Medal of Freedom, and University Dignitaries before holding a town hall meeting.

I told them that Katrina WILL NEVER happen again!

If you want your taxes raised, I am NOT your guy! In the last 10 years, Earmarks have increased by 440% - almost $ 42 Billion worth!

Hillary Clinton & Barack Obama want to RAISE Your Taxes! They are out of touch with the American people.

Let's give American's some Gas Tax Relief this summer! .18 cents a gallon for gas; .24 cents a gallon for Diesel. The poorest people drive the furthest & deserve this break!"

Highlights from the Questions:

Hugh Hewitt: Q: Sen. McCain your rebuke of Senator Obama for his comparison of his friendship with William Ayers and his friendship with Oklahoma Senator Tom Colburn, mentioned the 2007 video/audio of Dohrn and Ayers, and what obligations Obama had to address the details of his association with Ayers/Dohrn, and what obligations the media had to push for that explanation.

JOHN McCAIN: Ayers is an un-repentant terrorist. He took innocent lives with bombings. Obama needs to apologize. I am offended with the comparison to
Tom Colburn. People were killed by the Weatherman Organization.

Michael Goldfarb: Q: You asked the North Carolina GOP to pull down the anti Obama ad. What was wrong with the ad?

JOHN McCAIN: It's not the kind of ad we want. The influences are not necessary. Let's talk about the differences between Obama & me. That ad was not appropriate for the GOP. I hope they will take it down. (NOTE: the NC GOP dropped the ad)

Dan Nowicki: Q: Your competing hard in California. Can you win there and what is your strategy?

JOHN McCAIN: I understand the issues in California, I am a Senator from the Western states. I am going to travel there.
Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger proves a Republican can win there!

Jennifer Rubin: Q: Hamas has indicated that they would be happy with Barack Obama as the next President. What effect will this have on the peace process?

JOHN McCAIN: Hamas, Daniel Ortega and others want Obama. I WILL BE HAMAS' WORST NIGHTMARE!!!

I want to thank all the Bloggers! I am heading to Arkansas with Mike Huckabee to visit the Arkansas Baptist College. On Sunday, I am headed to Florida. Next week we will be talking about Health Care in America!
