John McCain has a comprehensive economic plan that will create millions of good American jobs, ensure our nation's energy security, get the government's budget and spending practices in order, and bring relief to American consumers. Read each of the sections below to learn how the McCain Economic Plan will help bring reform, prosperity and peace to America.
Workplace Flexibility and Choice
John McCain understands that today’s changing economy is making it harder for parents to balance the demands of family life and their jobs. He believes that strong families require that parents be involved in the lives of their children. Flexible work arrangements can help families strike the right balance.
John McCain was proud to support the Family Medical Leave Act in 1993 that ensured men and women are able to take leave to care for a newborn child, adopt a child or care for an immediate family member with a serious health condition and return to a position that is substantially equal i...
Early on in his life as a midshipman at the Naval Academy, the most important lesson John McCain learned was that to sustain his self-respect for a lifetime it would be necessary for him to have the honor of serving something greater than his self-interest -- service to his country. John McCain has always put his country's interests before any party, special interest and even his own self-interest. He has always and will always do what is right for our country.
John McCain has a strong record of working across the aisle to reform how business is done in Washington. Throughout his career of public service, John McCain has worked across party aisles with Republicans and Democrats alike to reform our campaign finance system, confirm qualified judges like Chief Justice John Roberts and Justice Sam Alito, and enhance our homeland security. He spoke out against his own party's out-of-control spending, against the Administration to change a failing strategy in Iraq, and against an energy b...
Credit Sarah Palin, governor of Alaska for two years and a former mayor of Wasilla, with the experience necessary to become president of the United States, perhaps - one of the criteria that John McCain said he'd require in his running mate.
If that's the case, then the McCain campaign will have to suspend its line of attack against Democratic rival Barack Obama, a member of the Senate for four years and former state legislator from Illinois. In its ads, the McCain campaign slams Obama as "dangerously unprepared'' for the presidency - with Republican National Committee ads labeling Obama as "the most inexperienced candidate of our times.''
But Palin?
McCain, senior senator from Arizona, turns 72 today, and stands to become the oldest American ever elected to a first term as president should he prevail over Obama on Nov. 4. So the 44-year-old whom McCain presents today as his running mate certainly offers a relative image of youthfulness, as well as a woman on the tic...
Announcement: GOP points to McCain's character, derides Obama
Posted: Nakquda @ Thu Oct 09, 2008 8:59 pm
Republicans launched their first night of full-scale conventioneering Tuesday by praising party standard-bearer John McCain's experience and attacking Democratic rival Barack Obama.
Republican leaders also strongly defended vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin, the Alaska governor who was McCain's surprise addition to the ticket last week over better-known contenders like former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney and Minnesota Gov. Tim Pawlenty.
Palin has won plaudits from many influential conservatives for her opposition to abortion and her pro-business record.
But Palin has also grabbed headlines for Monday's revelation that her unmarried teenaged daughter is pregnant.
Actor and former Sen. Fred Thompson, who briefly ran for president himself before dropping out in January, gave the speech that most roused the tens of thousands of Republican faithful at the convention. iReport.com: What do you think of the speeches?
