Comments on: ‘Clinton is in a bad place’ http://blogs.e-rockford.com/applesauce/2008/03/13/clinton-is-in-a-bad-place/ 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."

And John McCain? "0". You don't like lobbyists (not sure I do either), but I don't like earmarks. Bringing home the bacon doesn't balance the budget...neither does W's war. All bad. Love ya Pat. Obama has issued some 46 earmarks to Hillary’s 261. And John McCain? “0″. You don’t like lobbyists (not sure I do either), but I don’t like earmarks.

A Senate amendment that would impose a one-year moratorium on earmarks was defeated last night, with 25 Republicans voting against it. Clinton, Obama and McCain voted for the moratorium. So why are you babbling about "those Democratic earmarks"? What about the Republican earmarks? Don't you realize that Republicans in Congress generally endeavor to bring home the bacon, just like the Democrats? That's how they get elected.

It's bad enough funding W's war....now I have to increase my tax handout for those Deomocratic earmarks...

I'd waste my vote on Nader before I'd go with Mr. Straight Talk, the darling of the lobbyists. Look, I didn’t say I’d vote for McCain.
