McCain retracts Palin's Pakistan comments

Source: CNN

WASHINGTON (CNN)— Sen. John McCain retracted Sarah Palin's stance on Pakistan Sunday morning, after the Alaska governor appeared to back Sen. Barack Obama's support for unilateral strikes inside Pakistan against terrorists

"She would not…she understands and has stated repeatedly that we're not going to do anything except in America's national security interest," McCain told ABC's George Stephanopoulos of Palin. "In all due respect, people going around and… sticking a microphone while conversations are being held, and then all of a sudden that's—that's a person's position… This is a free country, but I don't think most Americans think that that's a definitve policy statement made by Governor Palin."

Saturday night, while on a stop for cheesesteaks in South Philadelphia, Palin was questioned by a Temple graduate student about whether the U.S. should cross the border from Afghanistan into Pakistan.

"If that's what we have to do stop the terrorists from coming any further in, absolutely, we should," Palin said.

McCain emphasized Sunday, Palin "shares" his view on the matter.

agrees with him and what was heard was not what anyone heard because it was a microphone stuck in her face which does not make it so what she said.

I bet it was really Tina Fae who actually said it.

McFailin should hire Tina Fey to do Pailin's interviews. Tina is bright, can speak in full sentences, and can memorize lines.

If McCan't says she didn't say it, then it really didn't happen.

See, that was so easy, wasn't it?

McREcant, didn't you? LOL :crazy:

A retraction, which is a distraction from the action the faction should retract.

I'm convinced Sarah is going to eat some bad moose and bow out for health reasons and the debate will be postponed until November 5.

We may not know what she REALLY said for at least another 48 hours. After all, it takes McLame that long to decide what he wants to decide at that time!

"In all due respect, people going around and… sticking a microphone while conversations are being held, and then all of a sudden that's—that's a person's position"

He's starting to sound like her!

200 and counting.

:hi:

200, indeed

It's gotta be real embarrasing for McCain, relegated to making up excuses for her, whenever she doesn't come up with the "correct answer".

"Polly want a cracker"

she was supposed to say "Polly wanna CheeseSteak!" ;)

How on Earth can this occur without Lady Rothschild, the PUMA operation and FAUX noise rising up to declare mcsame a sexist for retracting a statement made by "his little woman"?

Do these people and organizations think so little of women that they feel the female governor of Alaska needs a big, strong man to speak for her?

Really, how can mcsame unconditionally state that the woman of his campaign "shares" his views when she, herself, stated otherwise?

How is this not sexist?

Well, lurking PUMAs?

Explain it or come up with some other excuse to hide your racism.

Anyone???

:eyes:

that got her more fucked then she already was, trying cram for the Biden exam is not going to work.

"retractions of Palin's comments"

Hell, just do a pre-debate disclaimer!

McCain doesn't speak for the McCain campaign, and Palin doesn't speak for the mcCain campaign. Who *does* speak for the McCain campaign?

Obama so

That was some funny shit, right there...

:spray: :rofl:

McCain better get his little woman in line.


:puke:

because she rode in a taxi when she visited New York City.

Republicans truly are THE STUPIDEST MFers EVER.

Now if only they weren't slaughtering men, women, kids and America herself, it would be too fucking hilarious for words.

maybe that's why he wanted to cancel on the first one.

How dare that woman express her veiws without getting Johns premission first. She's lucky she an american. In some countries they would chop off her head for this frivolous tongue wagging.

:sarcasm:

....johnny, for your VP, your VP selection process or your ability to run a tight ship....going around emphasizing that your VP 'shares' your views makes me wonder if she really does share your views....or knows your views....

....unless there's some sort of psychological hang-up on her part....could she be subconsciously supporting Obama?

We know she is stupid and every time she opens her mouth she proves us right.

What the fuck is this elementary school? This is a game to these fascist bastards

mccain's handlers have to "clarify" whatever mccain says, and mccain has to "clarify" Palin's statements

meanwhile to comment on: "She would not…she understands and has stated repeatedly that we're not going to do anything except in America's national security interest," McCain told ABC's George Stephanopoulos of Palin. "In all due respect, people going around and… sticking a microphone while conversations are being held, and then all of a sudden that's—that's a person's position… This is a free country, but I don't think most Americans think that that's a definitve policy statement made by Governor Palin."

:rofl: gee, all of a sudden he's concerned about things being misrepresented, taken out of context? his bluster and rush to "clarify" says to me palin doesn't understand the talking points. These unscripted moments are more revealing than reading a speech, written by someone else.
