Comments on: Here’s McCain’s response ad on house flap http://blogs.e-rockford.com/applesauce/2008/08/21/heres-mccains-response-ad-on-house-flap/ 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."

The more the McCainiacs fuss about whether Obama was right or wrong on the number of homes, the longer this story stays alive and tarnishes McCain's image. The more the McCain camp tries in vain to get mileage out of the so-called Rezko scandal, the longer the McCain homes thing stays alive. The more the McCain camp plays the POW card, the more they trivialize it. They're the gang that can't shoot straight. This is funny.

McCain does have 7 houses and apparently he may even have more than 7. If you have are carrying 8 apples, doesn't that mean you are also carrying 7 apples? Sorry, I couldn't resist.

But the same can be said about the Obama campaign. They had lots of time to figure it out and ended up getting it wrong. Not a lot of confidence in either one.

I\'ll instead pay attention to the words the candidate say. The number of houses McCain has is not intended to be a comment on tax policy. It\'s merely meant to blame the rich for something or other. Marxism lite. Since I don\’t live in a battleground state campaign commercials are not something I have to deal with. I\’ll instead pay attention to the words the candidate say.

His question was understood to refer to taxation. Recent efforts by the Obama team have been made to avoid talking about taxes.
