McCain Retracts Palin's Pakistan Comments

Human muppet Sarah Palin contradicts her father John McCain on Pakistan policy at a stop in Philly. Here is how she responded to 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." Sounds like Obama's stance.

McCain retracts her statement. Maybe he patted her on the head after he scolded her and put her in the quiet chair for a timeout. But listen to his lame explanation:

"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 definitive policy statement made by Governor Palin."

Sticking a microphone? She was asked a direct question, to which she aswered. How much are they going to protect Palin? It's getting to the point where Palin has to be kept in a literal bubble to not totally destroy McCain's chances.

The Washington Monthly points out:

"So, just because Sarah Palin says something in public doesn't mean Palin actually believes what she's saying. And for goodness sakes, no one should think that Palin's comments are a reflection of the campaign's position on an issue.

Second, how are voters to know the difference between the things Palin says that are "definitive policy statements," and the things she says that should be ignored? How is the public to know when Republican candidates mean what they're saying and when they don't?"
