The media sure likes to call John McCain a maverick. We here at Media Matters have documented scores of examples and believe us, there are MANY more. Visit www.mediamatters.org for more information.

    After McCain licked up to the very people--KARL ROVE & BUSH--who personally smeared him & his family in the 2000 South Carolina Primary, he revealed himself to be a man of zero honor who values NOTHING

    but power.

    McCain may be less scummy than most of the GOP, but he is still SCUM.

    Yes, the media has chosen McCain for us and it's so obvious. How nice of them...

    Too bad I already voted for Ron Paul.

    We should have requested that the media give him his own 5 minute time slot on that one show "The Biggest Loser" LOL

    If he was really a maverick, he'd have run for president in 2004.

    A maverick is one who is prone to knee jerk emotional responses (just like Bush) instead of well thought out, carefully reasoned responses. Now we are learning the hard way what makes leadership.

    Anyone who is calling themselves a maverick should not be in office. A maverick is someone who stands alone, is independent, who doesn't agree with others or work with others. It's their way or the highway. This is a dangerous person to be running the country.

    We had a reckless maverick in George Bush look where that got us. But worst yet look at Saddam Hussein, Fidel Castro, Muammar Al-Gaddafi, Kim Jung-il, and Omar al-Bashir just to name a few, all mavericks. We don't want a maverick America.
