McCain's Mavericky Maverick Denial: The Videotape, Unlike the Senator, Doesn't Lie...



What the f**k is happening to Sen. John McCain? This dude's starting to resemble a bad train-wrecky realty show. Could "Mortifying Missteps by the Maverick" soon be giving "Keeping Up with the Kardashians" a run for its money? The once highly-respected independent-thinking "maverick" seems to have gone bonkers, no doubt brought on by his cornered-rat-like panic and desperation as August's GOP primary nears and many signs point to a stunning re-election loss to challenger J.D. Hayworth. I suppose fear of unemployment makes a man do crazy things...

The unraveling is reaching a bizarre peak. A couple of weeks ago McCrusty did the unthinkable: he brought hopey-changey mavericky Sarah Palin to Arizona to campaign with him. By golly, this is the same Palin who almost single-handedly imploded McCain's 2008 presidential bid. The same Palin who, you betchya, was called a diva and a nit-wit by top McCain advisors post-election. But also the same Palin who seems to be the Tea Baggers' porn star. And without those angry, deficit-hatin' Tea Baggers, who prefer Hayworth, McCain's reality-show days could be rapidly approaching. But, the Arizonans who voted for McCain all these years aren't Tea Baggers. In fact, they like him because he's a maverick.

Which brings us to meltdown #2. Over the weekend McCain shockingly claimed to Newsweek: "I never considered myself a maverick."

Excuse me? Really? Never considered himself a maverick? Are you kidding? As Jon Stewart pointed out, this would be like Rudy Giuliani saying "I never said 9-11." So just in case Sen. McCain, or anyone else for that matter, needs a little reminder as to the Senator's awesomely mavericky status...the video above gives it to ya straight from the maverick's mouth.

Oh Johnny boy, I guess we hardly knew ye....

John McCain knows without Palin's blessing & moving way over to the right he doesn't stand a chance of re-election. Of course we all know now that McCain has sold his soul to in hopes of winning. Of course many of the tea baggers in his state support the other tea bagging guy.

Hayworth is as corrupt as InsaneMcCain - hardly a choice for Arizonans!

We need to return to the golden era of George W. Bush. While i was reading that fine, for-the-ages, analysis:

"The Bush Boom: How a Misunderestimated President Fixed a Broken Economy" By Jerry Bowyer...

http://www.amazon.com/Bush-Boom-Misunderestimated-President-Economy/dp/1594670870

And realized how so right the GOP media machine is with their daily talking points, regardless of how they drift from port to starboard on the sea of changing political opportunities.
