It was McCain at his best:

“I didn’t go to Washington to go along to get along. I went there to serve my country, and that, my friends, is just what I intend to do if I am so privileged to be elected your president.”

“Nothing should unite us more closely than the imperative of defeating an enemy who despises us, our values and modernity itself. We must all pull together in this critical hour and proclaim that the history of the world will not be determined by this unpardonable foe but by the asperations, ideals, faith and the courage of free people. In this great, historic task we will never surrender. They will.”
