McCain ad inadvertantly tells truth about McSame's age

"The original mavericks"

Wasn't the "original maverick" an alleged cattle thief in the old old west (18somethings), who refused to brand his cattle, so he could steal cattle from other ranches?

2. Yeah, some "maverick"

Reading recently about McCain's younger life, I discovered that he's no maverick. He's just an asshole.

That kid in high school who fucked up just to get attention and turned ugly when anyone called him on it. McCain had the family connections - like Fuckface - to keep him from getting kicked out.

But, maverick?

Voting with Fuckface 95% of the time?

No, just an asshole.

3. McCain is opposed to his own record,

as a maverick, he is opposed to himself voting with Bush 95% of the time (in 2007),
or is it that he opposes his own campaign rhetoric when he votes? Are there two
John McCains? He opposes himself 95% of the time.

What is flabbergasting is that some say he's a maverick by picking an
extreme right-wing republican for a running mate. Huh?
