'Ending partisan politics'?

That was like so two days ago!

Here it comes: the desperate McNuts campaign is going even dirtier. EB Misfit:

Far from being a maverick, McCain has turned himself into a right-wing pandering machine. You need only look at the actions of a man who has embraced George W. Bush, after the Bush campaign slandered McCain and his family in 2000, to see that. (A true maverick would have kicked Chimpy in the nuts during the `00 convention.) A true maverick would have picked a competent running mate, not someone who was an obvious sop to the American Taliban.

McCain has transformed himself from a maverick into a thug. And like any thug, he will do whatever he thinks he has to in order to get the shiny toy he wants.
