McCain: 'I Never Considered Myself A Maverick' | TPM LiveWire
Sen. John McCain (R-AZ), who's trying to fight off a primary challenger who claims McCain is too moderate, has in an interview with Newsweek gone back on his most famous nickname.
"I never considered myself a maverick," McCain said. "I consider myself a person who serves the people of Arizona to the best of his abilities."
Poor John, age must be catching up to him.
Juan McAmnesty ought to just STFU and go away.
LOL. That was fucking great.
As someone who doesn't affiliate with the Republican party, as much as I dislike a lot of McCain's position, you can't really deride him for this. It's not like all politicians, including Obama don't backpedal all the time, it's just politics.
I mean, I'm an Obama supporter and despite my support of the healthcare bill, I knew it sounded pretty implausible when he kept telling Hilary he thought it was "fundmentally wrong" to mandate health care. Politics.
