John McCain (aka McSame, aka Bush 44) thinks you are stupid. That is the only explanation I can figure. He is all over the media with his “Maverick” talk, yapping about how he will bring change to Washington and reform things and shake things up. But NEWS FLASH!!!! It is HIS PARTY that has been running things the past eight years. Duh! He voted with George Bush 90% of the time. (Last year it was 95%). Ooooh, really shaking things up there John, aren’t we? Not!! If he ever was a “maverick”, those days were over long long ago. Nowdays he is just more of the same. If you want change he is so not the real thing.
The only difference I can really see is that McSame may be a little smarter (who isn’t?), but the tradeoff is his legendary temper. But wait. He doesn’t even know how many houses he owns so forget that “smarter” comment I made. Oh, and Bush didn’t dump his first wife after she was disfigured in an auto accident.
From the UK Daily Mail:
McCain’s first wife, Carol, was a famous beauty and a successful swimwear model when they married in 1965. She was the woman McCain dreamed of during his long incarceration and torture in Vietnam’s infamous ‘Hanoi Hilton’ prison and the woman who faithfully stayed at home looking after the children and waiting anxiously for news.
But when McCain returned to America in 1973 to a fanfare of publicity and a handshake from Richard Nixon, he discovered his wife had been disfigured in a terrible car crash three years earlier. Her car had skidded on icy roads into a telegraph pole on Christmas Eve, 1969. Her pelvis and one arm were shattered by the impact and she suffered massive internal injuries. When Carol was discharged from hospital after six months of life-saving surgery, the prognosis was bleak. In order to save her legs, surgeons had been forced to cut away huge sections of shattered bone, taking with it her tall, willowy figure. She was confined to a wheelchair and was forced to use a catheter.
Through sheer hard work, Carol learned to walk again. But when John McCain came home from Vietnam, she had gained a lot of weight and bore little resemblance to her old self. Today, she stands at just 5ft4in and still walks awkwardly, with a pronounced limp. Her body is held together by screws and metal plates and, at 70, her face is worn by wrinkles that speak of decades of silent suffering. For nearly 30 years, Carol has maintained a dignified silence about the accident, McCain and their divorce. But last week at the bungalow where she now lives at Virginia Beach, a faded seaside resort 200 miles south of Washington, she told The Mail on Sunday how McCain divorced her in 1980 and married Cindy, 18 years his junior and the heir to an Arizona brewing fortune, just one month later. “My marriage ended because John McCain didn’t want to be 40, he wanted to be 25.”
But Ross Perot, who paid her medical bills all those years ago, now believes that both Carol McCain and the American people have been taken in by a man who is unusually slick and cruel – even by the standards of modern politics. ‘McCain is the classic opportunist. He’s always reaching for attention and glory,’ he said.

Just one month later. Nice going, Maverick.
