Maes Morphs Into McInnis

If Dan Maes' angry declarations that he will stay in the race, constant claims that his ethical problems are non-issues, and insistence that we all need to stop focusing on his past and instead on his future plans all seems oddly familiar; that's because we went through all of this very recently. Dan Maes has transformed into a mirror image of Scott McInnis as his campaign was unravelling.
It was exactly one month ago that Dan Maes savaged Scott McInnis in a debate: "You don't have positions. You don't stand for anything. You have no integrity. You have no character." (CBS 4)
Now, Dan Maes has revealed himself through his numerous lies and exaggerrations to be just as lacking in integrity and character as Scott McInnis. Maes' attempts to dismiss the fact that he apparently misrepresented his entire background echoes of McInnis' claims that his plagiarism scandal was a "non-issue."
Sadly, Maes will likely not step aside. He shows all the traits of running a self-centered, ego-driven campaign. Already, he is spinning the hemorrhaging of his support as an assault by insidious "power brokers" and casting himself as some sort of proletariat hero rising up against the oppressors. Make no mistake, Dan Maes has been abandoned by "party insiders" and grassroots alike. Tea Party group Hear Us Now has rescinded their endorsement of Maes. A group of 9.12 groups are set to meet with Maes this week over "concerns" about his campaign. This is the end of the line for Maes even if he refuses to accept it.

Just wait for Tancredo to morph into Maes! He has just as many honesty and ego problems.
