Word used way too many times by Republican Vice Presidential candidate Sarah Palin to describe herself and John McCain, but Mavericks they are not.
PALIN: "...And John McCain has been the consummate maverick in the Senate over all these years..."
BIDEN: I'll be very brief. Can I respond to that?
Look, the maverick -- let's talk about the maverick John McCain is. And, again, I love him. He's been a maverick on some issues, but he has been no maverick on the things that matter to people's lives.
He voted four out of five times for George Bush's budget, which put us a half a trillion dollars in debt this year and over $3 trillion in debt since he's got there.
He has not been a maverick in providing health care for people. He has voted against -- he voted including another 3.6 million children in coverage of the existing health care plan, when he voted in the United States Senate.
He's not been a maverick when it comes to education. He has not supported tax cuts and significant changes for people being able to send their kids to college.
He's not been a maverick on the war. He's not been a maverick on virtually anything that genuinely affects the things that people really talk about around their kitchen table.
Can we send -- can we get Mom's MRI? Can we send Mary back to school next semester? We can't -- we can't make it. How are we going to heat the -- heat the house this winter?
He voted against even providing for what they call LIHEAP, for assistance to people, with oil prices going through the roof in the winter.
So maverick he is not on the important, critical issues that affect people at that kitchen table.

Get the Maverick mug.Essentially a 12 year-old faggot's idea of a good game; was conceived when Infinity Ward saw the massive success of the first Modern Warfare, then watered it down with simpler game-play, stripped all PC support, alienating it's most loyal community, and adding so many new noob friendly perks that playing it almost requires sucking, since it's so easy to spray, spam, and quick-scope that it completely defeats the purpose of playing the game. One could effectively pull the trigger on their controller once every ten seconds and end up with an amazing score.
Douche-bag: Hey guys, let's play Modern Warfare 2 on Xbox LIVE tonight!
Intelligent person: Fuck Modern Warfare 2, and fuck playing first-person shooters on anything but a PC.
Douche-bag: Modern Warfare 2 is amazing, dude, and Xbox is the best!
Intelligent person: Modern Warfare 2 is to Call of Duty what Dynasty was for KISS. A shitty sellout.
