http://blogs.e-rockford.com/applesauce/2008/02/22/john-mccain-in-his-own-words/ Pat Cunningham offers an unabashedly liberal perspective on national politics. A note of caution: The language gets a litttle salty on some of the sites to which this blog links. So, don't say you weren't warned. By the way, this blog's name is inspired by the Will Rogers quote, "All politics is applesauce."

Gas prices in March 2003: $1.70 a gallon. Gas prices today, after nearly five years of troops in the middle east: more than $3 a gallon. How has having troops over there helped us with gas prices?

I know I don't have Pat's incredible intellect, but when fuel prices hit 4.50 a gallon this summer, you'll be agreeable to sending more troops to the middle east for stability instead of sending them all home.
