Think back about a decade ago, or at least it seems to be that long, to the last presidential election.  McCain was billing himself as a maverick willing to take on Washington and even his own party.  What happened?

Since that election McCain has been the picture perfect Repub and conservative.  I guess aan election loss will beat the “maverick” out of you, that is if there was ever a true maverick in there.

That maverick is long gone people!

Take a moment and think back to the campaigns, McCain had to cancel a lot of stuff and rush back to Washington for the banks were too large and important to fail.  The truth is he was not that much of a player in the original handout, but it made for good press.

What a difference an election loss makes.  Not only is the maverick a thing of the past, but now he wants some of the large banks to fail.

Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., appearing on “Fox News Sunday,” echoed his colleague’s sentiment and criticized the new administration’s response to the banks. (Reuters)

“I don’t think they made the hard decision and that is to let these banks fail,” McCain told “Fox News.”

McCain also expressed dissatisfaction toward the Treasury Dept. accusing it of avoiding the “hard decision to let these banks fail.” Asked what should be done about banks, McCain said: “You’d sell off their assets and.. unfortunately, the shareholders and others will take a beating.”

So now that it will not benefit him to save the banks, it is time to fall in line with the rest of the GOP and join the obstructionists club.

Those who voted for the “maverick” should feel betrayed by this lack of integrity on his part.  If they do not…then that could explain why they voted for him…..ignorance.
