McCain Town Hall Meetings




Here is a video clip of Sen. John McCain today in New Hampshire at a Town Hall Meeting, where he said that Barack Obama would rather "lose a war in order to win a political campaign."

Keep saying it, John. It is the truth. His whole campaign was predicated on giving up in Iraq. That's how he got the far-left of the Democratic party on his side and how he was able to defeat Hillary Clinton. Now that his judgment in supporting defeat has been proven wrong by the success of the Surge Strategy in Iraq, what basis does he really have for his candidacy? Nothing. McCain must keep driving this point home. I believe it will get traction by November.







Today Senator McCain stopped by a General Motors plant in Michigan where he spoke to a crowd in a town hall style meeting.

Standing in a town hall meeting with hundreds of people and several shiny new cars, McCain sounded at times like a confident, encouraging salesman as he praised General Motors' plans for a long-range electric car.

"The key, integral, vital part of our ability to eliminate our dependence on foreign oil will be directly related to that sign over there," said McCain, pointing to a sign for the Chevrolet Volt. "I wish you every success, and I want to help in every way."

At the General Motors Corp. Design Center, GM CEO Rick Wagoner and other company officials gave McCain a tour before he spoke to engineers and other workers. McCain, who has proposed giving a $5,000 tax credit for those who buy a no-emissions car, said the successful technology would mean hundreds of thousands of new jobs.

Most questions from the crowd centered on economic issues like health care, free trade and the effect environmental laws could have on the U.S. auto industry.

McCain also pushed a plan for the government to help homeowners struggling to make their mortgage payments get a new, cheaper fixed-rate mortgage.

"There's thousands and thousands and thousands of citizens in this state who can't afford the payments to stay in their homes," he said.

Here is video in nine parts of Sen. John McCain holding a Town Hall Meeting in St. Paul, Minnesota on June 19, 2008. McCain is joined by Minn. Gov. Tim Pawlenty at the event. Notice the level of depth involved in both the questions and answers at this Town Hall Meeting. Over time, the contrast between Obama the "lightweight" and the depth of John McCain has got to make a difference - let's hope so.
