McCain: "I Never Considered Myself a Maverick..."

I think McCain finally figured out that he was in trouble and may soon return to private life. He is scrambling now and trying to woo back his supporters. The Republican party is split right now and having a hard time trying to find candidates that can win. Some are even lining up with support for Ron Paul and that would be their de@th warrant.. Their main purpose now is trying to destroy the Obama administration, they care little about helping the middle class or poor in this country. They only care about "power" and lining the pockets of the wealthy.

It's McCain, what do you expect? I think it is time for him to hang it up, he is getting much worse with age. But, that is up to the people of Arizona to decide, and I don't live in Arizona.

lmao he is a mavericky maverick! I like that! I saw him saying that and I about fell out of my chair! No Annie, I think he is just a lying liar!

I heard that the other day and was going to post it as well. I really don't know what he was smoking when he said that. I mean, who in this country didn't hear the word "Maverick" from him a million times during the 2008 election?

I read about this, and just shook my head but no it doesn't really surprise me much. The Maverick thing was stupid and cheesy to begin with, I always cringed whenever I heard it, but now it is just waaaaaaay too late to refute it, the idea of taking it back now just makes it worse and yes just makes him appear senile, desperate, or just trying to talk up towards a new game/persona. No matter what, this does not make him look any better in my eyes.

I think he's mavericky being a maverick by denying that he's the maverick that he really is.... Wait a minute, I'm starting to sound like Palin. Apparently, McCain will say whatever suits him at the moment...and that's pretty disappointing.

Maybe he is the mavericky maverick of maverickness.

I think Sarah from the frozen north pretty much usurped the term "maverick" and made it her own. No wonder McCain isn't commfortable with it anymore. Judging from the expressions on his and Cindy's faces when Sarah Palin campaigned for him recently, they are not to comfortable with her period. Funny thing, I used to like the term "maverick". It was a neat expression back when "Maverick was a legend of the West" Rember that. Those were the days. lol

I came across videos where others called him a maverick and one where he said "I've been called a maverick." No where did I find one where he said "I am a maverick."

I like the mavericky about being a maverick so I'll go with that one

Did McCain refer to himself as a maverick, or did he just admit that others had put that tag on him? I don't know. Was it, "I'm called a maverick," or was it, "I am a maverick?" I don't know the answer to that either. Why do you get so keyed up over nothing? If you're not careful, your head might come to a point.

HE is a RINO. Not a maverick...not a rogue. HE is a politican.

John McCain always says and does whatever he thinks works for John McCain at the moment. Frankly, after the way he treated Sarah Palin, I'm surprised she will campaign for him at all. I voted for her, not him, and would never vote for him. He sways whichever way the wind blows.

anniepa, I agree with your assessment re "mavericking" and McCain. Too bad he wimped out and threw the election. I acknowledge your insight re this matter, but I question your inability to discern "a big fat lie" and a tall, skinny liar whose arrogant behind should not even be allowed to sit in a chair in the White House. Anyone who lies is wrong. But, how in the name of heaven can you not see the biggest hoax (LIE) ever perpetrated on the American public? .....the "biggest, fattest lie EVER in the history of America"? If McCain and Palin become media darlings and sell out to a popularity contest, it comes back on them. But what traitor, "Son of Kenya" (Quoting Kenyan ministers, parliament, newspapers, NPR, and a host of others) has done in violating our Constitution, (the crime of which is TREASON) and lying about EVERYTHING while using his thugs as enforcers, comes back to US, the Americans who are losing EVERYTHING, from homes to jobs, freedom, our whole economy and way of life, even life itself because so many fools followed Oprah Winfrey and other morons down the garden path to an insidious end. It can only end in "tears and gnashing of teeth" unless the usurper is removed. WTF...OMG...WHATEVER!

Has John McCain ever called himself a maverick? I know others have called him that, but I don't know if he has.
