Applesauce
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.”

Ever the bold competitor, he grimaces as he ponders this difficult flip, sports fans!

At a town hall meeting in Michigan over the weekend, a self-described Catholic pro-lifer asked John McCain if he could be counted upon to “fight for the rights of the unborn,” including with regard to “the unproven science of embryonic stem cell research.”

Replied McCain: “Yes, you can.”

In 2000, McCain expressed opposition to federal funding of embryonic stem cell research, but he flipped on that issue three years ago after discussing it with Nancy Reagan.

And again last year, McCain said: “I support federal funding.”

Now, he appears ready to FLIP BACK again to where he stood eight years ago.

The man has awesome political dexterity, you have to admit.
