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.” |

Barack Obama’s campaign is running this ad in heavy rotation in battleground states in an effort to diminish John McCain’s standing on the issue voters say is most important to them:

What I find interesting about these attacks is that the dems seem to be upset that the Iraqis are making money on their oil. But isn’t it the dems that claim that Bushco invaded Iraq for oil? Maybe they figure that it’s wrong to invade a country to steal oil, but if we’re already there we might as well take it. Some consistency would be nice.

I think the point they are trying make is why are the American taxpayers and the sons and daughters of American taxpayers footing the entire bill for Iraq? Shouldn’t some of those oil profits go towards the reconstruction effort? I believe that the Administration said something to the effect that the oil revenue would help pay for the reconstruction, so why isn’t it?

Good point. Where is the Iraqi oil money going? Either way, I think we do bear some responsibility for fixing what we broke, without necessarily stealing their livelihood. But if Bush and McCain said that then you got a point and we should hold them accountable to it.
