MAVERICK

The dictionary definition:

Originally used by ranchers to signify an unbranded cow that has lost its way. By convention, it can become the property of whoever finds it and brands it.

Dear Senator Obama,

BRAND that maverick while you have the chance and whatever you do, don't STOP branding him!!!

Some branding concepts. Feel free to use any of this!

1. John Sidney McCain III and his wife Cindy -- The Original Millionaire and his Wife. (Theme song from Gilligan's Island with footage of Thurston Howell III and his wife)

2.John Sidney McCain III: Efete AND Elete. (Show $500.00 loafers and emphasize the word LOAFERS and middle name SIDNEY.)

3. Make this comparison: The white haired dude is totally uncool. He's the school principle in Ferris Bueller's Day Off.

4. He's so arrogant he doesn't think he needs to tell people what he believes. After all he's next in line to succeed King George II. Does he have some great ideas he's keeping to himself? Like invading Iran and starting the DRAFT perhaps?

5. Compare Bush's "compassionate conservative" label to McCain's "maverick" label. Same difference. Empty label in an empty suit.

6. Redefine maverick to mean "a cow that's lost its way". (Possibly inferring Mad Cow disease?) Then keep calling him a maverick like it's a dirty word. Everyone will be laughing at him for choosing that label.

Just BRAND him and NEVER, EVER APOLOGIZE!

One can only watch in disbelief and awe, as McCain pulls ahead of Obama, supporting a war eveyone hates, promising more war and new wars, an angry old man who knows nothing about the economy, and will do nothing about the environment. Don't get me started on DRILL DRILL DRILL, KILL KILL KILL. Obama should be blowing McCain away but he is not. He is behind and promises to lose this election in a big way. The time remaining will only have Obama slipping even further behind McCain. Shocking and Unbelievable, BUT TRUE. America, THE LAND OF DIMWITTED FRIGHTENED COWARDLY SELF RIGHTEOUS voters will insure that this forgetful angry old man who offers nothing but more of the same, defeats the smooth talking, mysterious, black and white man who offers some kind of change, but nothing concrete or substantial to back it up.

What they have failed to nail John McCain on is his assertion that the United States didn't lose Viet Nam, but that we weren't allowed to win, thanks to the fall out of support for the war here at home.

Which means that John McCain doesn't understand the lesson most of us learned from that bloody debacle, that being democracy has to come from within the hearts and minds of an indigenous people, not crammed down their throats, singed into their skin, beat into the skulls of their children by an imperialist nation.

Its the reason he doesn't want to leave Iran. Because he doesn't understand the truth our forefathers posited as self evidenciary, the foundation to our democracy, that all men are created equal is not evident to those in the Middle East.

Ask a Sunni if a Kurd or Shiite is his equal and you will be laughed from here to Mecca. Ask John McCain if he accepts this as truth and you will probably get that glazed over stare of his.

It's his Achilles heel, and Obama and company ignore it.

HuffPost's Pick

I cannot possibly agree more. With every point you made.

I want Obama to stop propping up McCain. Fight for yourself and the party and the people who believe in you. Let John McCain defend his patriotism himself, Barack, you are not there to do it for him, Stop being so damned noble.
