What is a Maverick Supporter?
What, may you ask, is a maverick supporter? How is it different from an ordinary supporter, which is far too pedestrian a thing for the Master Maverick, John McCain? Is it possible that after much effort, I could rise high enough to become a maverick supporter, and be granted the honor of licking the dust from Master Maverick, John McCain’s dirty shoes?
You’re in luck, because anyone can be a maverick supporter of the Master Maverick, John McCain. While you’re too late to become his Bestest #1 Maverick Supporter in the Whole Wide World like me, there is still plenty you can do. In the end, you only need to ask yourself: What would Master Maverick, John McCain do?
The answer, of course, is obvious. As a maverick Republican, John McCain would determine what an ordinary Republican would do, then do the opposite. He’s done it for years, and it’s clear by his tireless maverick leadership that he wants you to do the same. Plus, you’ll be participating in the most brilliant, cutting edge paradigm of political support in the 21st century, invented by none other than the Master Maverick, John McCain himself.
So you, as the maverick supporter, should follow his example, or not be fit to lie on the ground before him so he could walk on you and avoid touching the humble dirt. Think of what an ordinary supporter would do for their candidate, then do the opposite. I’ll grant that in Master Maverick, John McCain’s brilliance, he’s created a concept most of us little people can’t understand right away. It even took me, his humble and slightly overwhelmed student, a few months to finally puzzle through it, so I’ll give you a few examples to help you on your way.
- Maverick donations: Not only did Master Maverick, John McCain invent a whole new genre of supporter, he made that genre easier than the original. Now, being an ordinary supporter would require you to part with some of your money, but as a maverick supporter, your life gets so much less expensive. When you get a phone call or email asking for money to support John McCain, the proper maverick answer is ‘no’. It’s easy to do, it doesn’t cost you a thing, and is part of the brilliance of Master Maverick, John McCain.
- Maverick volunteering: Here’s another thing he’s made so much easier for you. An ordinary volunteer has to spend hours and footwork placing signs, spreading flyers, and manning phone banks. A maverick volunteer doesn’t have to do any of this. You can tell the people asking you to volunteer for Master Maverick, John McCain ‘no’, stay home to watch your favorite shows, and still call yourself a maverick volunteer. Simple, easy, and effort-free.
- Maverick voting: How do you maverick vote? It doesn’t require any risk or lawbreaking on your part. This fall, you vote for anyone but John McCain, and you will be a maverick supporter worthy of the Master Maverick. Want to use the write-in block, but can’t think of a name? Use your own. You couldn’t possibly manage the kind of god-like job performace the Master Maverick, John McCain could as President, but you can be satisfied that after years of his tireless maverick example, that sort of write-in vote is exactly what he wanted.
In all ways during Master Maverick, John McCain’s quest for the White House and during his tenure as Republican Party Leader, remember the maverick supporter motto: Think the McCain. Breathe the McCain. Be the McCain.
