Frasi di John McCain

John Sidney McCain III è stato un politico statunitense, senatore repubblicano per lo stato dell'Arizona dal 1987 al 2018 e candidato alla presidenza degli Stati Uniti nel 2008.Prima del suo ingresso in politica divenne noto per aver combattuto nella guerra del Vietnam come membro della marina militare statunitense. Nell'ottobre del 1967, mentre era in missione sopra Hanoi, il suo aereo fu abbattuto e lui, ferito, fu catturato dai nordvietnamiti, rimanendo prigioniero di guerra per circa sei anni sino al 1973.

Candidato alla Presidenza nelle elezioni del 2000, venne sconfitto alle primarie repubblicane da George W. Bush. Ripresentatosi alle primarie repubblicane del 2008, ha questa volta ottenuto con facilità la nomination, divenendo il candidato del Partito Repubblicano per le elezioni presidenziali del 2008, che ha però perso contro l'avversario Barack Obama.

Pur essendo stato conservatore su molti temi, McCain è stato visto dall'opinione pubblica come una personalità indipendente e votò in autonomia dalle linee di partito diverse volte. L'American Conservative Union ha assegnato a McCain un punteggio medio dell'83%. Wikipedia
