“The late Bernie Baltic used to ask politicians, who invariably wanted him to write them a check, ‘What are your principles?’ They would then recite their key issues or the issues they thought were key to getting Bernie to write that check. He would stop them, saying, ‘Not your issues — issue positions can change — your principles.’ Values are like sorta like principles. In politician speak. ‘My values haven’t changed,’ Vice-President Kamala Harris assured us, after being quizzed about her flip-flopping on issues including fracking (hello Pennsylvania’s 19 electoral votes), defunding the police and building a border wall.” (09/13/24)
