Why can’t a maverick be a truly committed conservative? She’s a maverick in the sense that she doesn’t do everything the GOP tells her to do...like drop out of politics so Romney can win.

“Maverick” was a phrase the media used for Lowell Weicker. He voted against the GOP ninety percent of the time and called himself “the turd in the punchbowl,” during Reagan’s time.

There is history behind the term. And Leiberman beat Weicker after being endorsed by William F. Buckley Jr.

There simply is no NEED to call yourself a “maverick”. Being a true conservative is all that is needed.

If Sarah starts using the words conservative and conservative values consistently then I will start changing my mind about her.
