maverick

Published Aug. 29, 2008

 

 

The Republican National Convention hasn't even started yet, and I've heard this word used to describe McCain 20 times on CNN.

maverick is a person who shows independence of thought or action, a non-conformist or rebel.

 

Really?  Really?  He's 72.  He may have driven a Maverick, or ridden on one. 

 

It's gonna be a long week.  But I will watch, and listen.  Making a choice on party, sex or color does nothing for yourself or your country.

If John McCain was the John McCain who ran against GWB, I'd still call him a maverick and have no hesitancy at all about voting for him. However, that McCain's loooooong gone and I can't see any reason to call him a maverick in this day and age.

I would love to vote for a moderate political candidate, because I don't believe fanatacism and blind devotion on either side of the aisle is a good thing. Unfortunately, it looks like that ain't gonna happen this year.

Ato, you got a lot to learn, if you have not noticed that women cannot make up their mind. LOL hehehe hahaha hohoho hmhmhm lalala snort snort snort.

Aruba, I've noticed you have made this comment "Now mind you, I still do not know who/or if I'm voting" on a few blogs since you stated that you were voting for O/B earlier this afternoon. O/B Aruba GOLO member since October 17, 2007 August 29, 2008 12:30 p.m.

Have you changed your mind?

I miss that ole Bret Maverick show!

LOL @ Evil one. Oh wait! I shouldn't laugh. I drove a Pinto.

You just don't see many mavericks anymore...no Pinto's or Vegas either for that matter.

TexasBaby, thanks for noticing.

I want to go to my island!

That just goes to show you how smart you are.

TexasBaby, older does not always mean wiser. I have met some pretty stupid senior citizens in my life.

DJ, I'm gonna let you have the floor. I just know that when everybody is using the word, it will get old. OLD!!!!!!!!!!!!!
