McCain campaigns in Montco

John McCain made a campaign stop at Montgomery County Community College in Blue Bell Tuesday to unveil a new package of economic initiatives to help middle class families.

From a story about the visit published in The Mercury:

McCain closed his speech by assuring that America will continue to lead the world's economies and America will prosper and will be safer. Yet it cannot be done unless we are prepared to act swiftly, boldly and with courage and wisdom, he said.

"I know what fear feels like -- it is a thief in the night who robs your strength. I know what hopelessness feels like -- it is an enemy who defeats your will," he said. "I felt those things once before. I will never let them in again. I'm an American and I choose to fight."

"Fight for a new direction in our country. Fight for what's right in America. Fight to clean up the mess of corruption. Fight to get our economy out of the ditch and back in the lead," McCain said. "Fight for justice and opportunity for all. Stand up to defend our country from its enemies. Stand up, stand up and fight. America is worth fighting for. Nothing is inevitable here. We never give up. We never quit. We never hide from history. We make history. Now let's go win this election and get this country moving again!"
