Since McCain voted somewhere in the 90% range with Bush he is anything but a maverick Xerox copy machine yes, maverick no

Answer 1

I've been saying it all along. If he was truly a maverick, he should have run as an independent. Instead, the "maverick" stood on the GOP stage, insulting them as the "Washington elite" and then asking them all to vote for him.

All too sad.

Answer 2

hahaha.....no people believe what they hear........

mccain is a maverick liar....he goes against everything thats the truth...or normal....his wallet is maverick  i dont have 150 million dollars

MCCAIN......MAVERICK MY ***

Answer 3

FYI, your Joe Biden voted with Mr. Bush 89% of the time!  Mr. Mccain clearly defined his version of maverick in his speech the other night by referring to himself as someone who "dances to a different drummer" and this fits the def of maverick, too!

Answer 4

Yes i have but I think McCain is referring to that Old failure Ford put out and tried to call it a car!  Ford Maverick the car that used to burn alot of oil and die on the side of the road!

Answer 5

Thank you!

I've been laughing about that because he doesn't seem to know the definition himself.  Typical republican...always contradicting themselves...

Answer 6

Wasn't Hitler a successful Maverick?
