mav·er·ick
In case you did not know this:

-----------------

"Maverick steadfastly refused to brand his cattle. As a result, the word maverick entered the English lexicon, meaning both an unbranded range animal as well as a slang term for someone who exhibits a streak of stubborn independence.<75>

Maverick's stated reason for not branding his cattle was that he didn't want to inflict pain on them. Other ranchers however, suspected that his true motivation was that it allowed him to collect any unbranded cattle and claim them as his own."

2. McCain is a maverick because
he goes off half-cocked and does not listen to anyone.

Fine-OK--I have a neighbor who is also a "maverick"

But does anyone want a maverick for pres? And a pair of them? NO WAY.
