The True American Maverick

When American voters think of the term "maverick," they often think of Senator John McCain because McCain has spent decades associating himself with that term. To some degree, McCain is right to call himself a "maverick," having independently departed the company of both his party and his constituents on many issues over the years.

The fact is, not so long ago every Republican was a "maverick," an independent thinker prone to placing the long-term interests of freedom and liberty far ahead of partisan politics aimed at only serving the party interests at the expense of national interests.

Every Republican should be a maverick, bucking an overtly corrupt system and representing the true will of the American majority which still believes in an "unalienable" right to life, individual liberty and the economic freedom to define and pursue individual happiness without fear of government intrusion or penalty.

We really need to get back to pointing out the flaws in the system and in an obscenely large government. Thanks for reminding us.

"However, they also know that they can only win in November (with either candidate), the same way Bill won in 1992 and 1996, with less than 50% of the popular vote."

So let's see; McCain is a disappoining candidate, Barr is staging an independent run, the party seems afraid to point out countless Obama weaknesses for fear of I don't know - whatever, every time McCain opens his mouth he takes the opportunity to poke a finger in conservative eyes (immigration, global $#%$warming myth, etc.). How’s that work for you??????? It makes me scream, cry and yell at the TV (the messenger) in abject frustration because McCain and others aren’t listening!

Williams, you forgot to add one very damaging thing McCain has done... the McCain–Feingold Act.

Socialists are counting on sonservatives in 2008

What are sonservatives? Must be a typo.

Yes, Williams, I know what I have to do for a better, strong America, and that is to not abstain from voting and not vote for a third Party.
