"I never considered myself a maverick"

"I never considered myself a maverick."

Huh?

Funny definition of "never."

"I'm a maverick."

NOT Putting Country First -- and LYING About It

Folks with their eyes open, knew McCain wasn't "putting country first" as he claimed in his campaign slogan, most notably by his pick of Gov. Palin as a running mate.

But now evidence is coming to light that the "Country First" was not just a sham, but that they knew they were lying when they claimed it.

Insiders are revealing how utterly unprepared and ignorant (literally) Palin was on a host of very basic issues/facts:

Why Can't We Be Friends, My Friends

McCain Supporter - Palin's Not Ready

One of the five former Secretary's of State, on whose support John McCain relies when asked about the Powell endorsement of Obama, said explicitly that Palin isn't ready to be Commander in Chief. Not only "not ready" but his prelude to answering the question is to suggest that such a question is, on its face, ludicrous:

1000 Words . .

McHypocrites

Palin Clueless

Its insane how clueless Palin is. In response to the question of what the "meeting without preconditions" argument is about.

Palin appears to answer that Obama shouldn't just casually meet without PREPARATION and without an agenda.

This is just embarrassing. Its one thing to advance McCain's argument -- i.e., that the U.S. ought to demand concessions on things like Human Rights as a "precondition" (i.e. prerequisite to get a ticket to the table). Buts its quite another to not know the argument and mistake it for a "Obama wants to sit down without PREPARING for the meeting."

Stunning.
