Democrats on stage Tuesday night at the Pepsi Center took straight aim at Sen. John McCain:
“Barack Obama has a plan to save the dream of home ownership for families who’ve lost their homes or fear they can never afford one — unlike John McCain, who has so many he can’t keep track of them all.”
Kansas Gov. Kathleen Sebelius
“I like to be positive about my fellow Arizonans. So I wanted to say something positive about Sen. McCain. When I heard him say the economy is not an issue he understands as well as he should, my problem was solved, because I can say to you tonight, positively, that John McCain is right.”
Arizona Gov. Janet Napolitano
“The only thing green in John McCain’s energy plan is the billions of dollars in tax cuts he is offering to oil companies, and the only thing he’ll recycle is George Bush’s failed energy policies.”
Pennsylvania Gov. Ed Rendell
“Even leaders in the oil industry know that Sen. McCain has it wrong. We simply can’t drill our way to energy independence, even if you drilled in all of John McCain’s backyards, including the ones he can’t even remember.”
Montana Gov. Brian Schweitzer
“John McCain believes that judges, politicians and bureaucrats know better than women themselves what’s best for their health care. In fact, just two weeks ago John McCain said he didn’t know if insurance companies should cover birth control. Well, let me remind you, senator: you already voted against it twice.”
Cecile Richards, president of the Planned Parenthood Action Fund
“John McCain calls himself a maverick, but he votes with George Bush 90 percent of the time. That’s not a maverick. That’s a sidekick.”
Sen. Robert Casey Jr., D-Pa.
“If there was an Olympics for misleading, mismanaging and misappropriating, this administration would take the gold, world records for violations of national and international laws. They want another four-year term to continue to alienate our allies, spend our children’s inheritance and hollow out our economy.”
Rep. Dennis Kucinich, D-Ohio
