There was indeed a time when John McCain was a maverick. I wish we still lived in those times.

The man who once opposed torture has now voted in favor of it. The man who once favored extending due process to the hostages of Guantanamo Bay has changed his mind, supporting this direct violation of international treaties and therefore of American law. Campaign finance reform? The fight against earmarking? Amnesty for illegal immigrants? Opposition to tax cuts that favor the rich? Distant memories now.
