"Power over Principle" why does McCain keep repeating that?

[Heather MC]

He is speaking on MSNBC and he said Palin puts Power over Principle

That's sounds terrible?

Edited to use the correct "principle"

[BlooInBloo]

1. He doesn't. He's repeating "power over principle."

[Heather MC]

"Don't pick on me my english not so good"

[BlooInBloo]

17. :)

[orestes]

2. sounds backwards to me

should be the other way around i think

[baldguy]

10. "People around the world have always been more impressed with the power of our example..."

"...rather than the example of our power."

Someone gets it, and its not any Republican,

[CJCRANE]

13. Me too.

Rovepublicans have a big problem with opposites because they no longer know the difference between the truth and a lie, it's all just talking points written down for them to be repeated.

Reminds me of Shrub's

"Our enemies are innovative and resourceful, and so are we. They never stop thinking about new ways to harm our country and our people, and neither do we."

3. What? What does that even mean?

"Power over principle?" Don't you want someone who never chooses power over principle?

[baldguy]

4. Sounds frightening.

[WeDidIt]

5. ISn't "Power over Principle" more of the same?

That's Cheney's way of doing things.

I don't get it.

[Franks Wild Years]

6. LOL!

Fucking crazy. This must be heard by all.

He's losing his marbles with that.

If they win it looks as though it'll be President Palin by this time next year.

Fucking crazy!

[quantass]

7. Yea i thought the same...I figured i wasn't understanding it right ..but now i see others think the

same....to me it sounds reversed.

[Island Blue]

8. That makes no sense what so ever.

I think gramps must be confused.

Edited to say: It sounds horrible - I hope the Obama campaign jumps on it.

[WeDidIt]

9. Somebody Youtube this!

PRONTO!

[eshfemme]

11. WTF? That doesn't even make sense!

Going on a power trip is the last thing we need after Bush.

[JBoy]

12. I think I saw the "Power over Principle" self-help CD box set in the bargain bin.

[WA98296]

14. They are simply admitting no principles are as important as abuse of power

[GoesTo11]

15. Reading a script, doesn't understand the meaining of the words.

So he doesn't realize he's misread it.

[Heather MC]

19. It's the second time he has said this about her, He said it when he introduced her Friday

I am watching them speak, they are both repeating the same tired ole speach, but seems to me between now and Friday, if it was a mistake it would have been corrected even by that nut McPOW

[CJCRANE]

20. Maybe his point is that she will restrain her religious principles

to gain power?

[Heather MC]

21. hmmm

:rofl:

[Cleita]

16. He's repeating the neo-con slogan in a different way, that being:

"The end justifies the means."

[quantass]

18. Is there a youtube link?

[Heather MC]

23. No but he sad the same thing on Friday

I couldn't find a Video of it
someone may post it

[kwolf68]

22. Is this for real?

There is no way he could have said this...even if he means it. :dunce:

[Heather MC]

25. This was the second time he said it about her.

He said it Friday when he first introduced her

[dkofos]

24. He's too old to understand what he is actually saying.

[Eric J in MN]

26. He's claiming they're against putting "power over principle"

"I have found the right partner to help me stand up to those who value their privileges over their responsibilities, who put power over principle, and put their interests before your needs."

28. In that case

it's the usual Rovepublican projection.

[Canuckistanian]

27. "Power over Principle"???

Haven't we seen the results of that half-baked idea already?

:wtf:
