Maverick McCain
If I'd heard John McCain described as a maverick one more time in last night's RNC convention speeches I'd have puked. If McCain was a maverick he would have gone with his gut and selected Joe Lieberman to run as his VP nominee. He didn't because Lieberman used to be a Democrat, and has rather liberal views on abortion.
A true maverick would have done the GOP a favour and chosen a running mate that would have clearly indicated that the religious right can go fuck themselves and that they have no special hold on this party. He didn't do that and that's too bad. A bunch of guns and god religious nuts have once again highjacked the party and it seems to have escaped their notice that the social conservative thing is a hard sell outside of towns with a population greater than 10,000 people.
Some maverick, some party.
