	<description>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."</description>

		<description>And who does Sarah Palin turn to for spiritual guidance? A witch hunter. Nice. I thought the "hands on "ceremony and references to withches at the Wassila church was REAL comforting. 

The Senate ethics committee found John McCain practiced "Poor Jugement". With all the practice he's had in poor judgement he should have down by now. Hey how about the Palin pick. I think it will be "Awesome " when we go to war with Russia over Georgia.</description>

		<description>Thanks Bob. Another person who is mentioned in Obama's book is Frank Marshall Davis a mentor to Obama and a communist. Which leads me to Obama threatening television stations with the DOJ if they ran an ad connecting to Ayers which was true. Sounds like Soviet style politics. Obama has threatened to sue anyone airing "false" ads.</description>

		<description>Your answer to DingDong Pat is BS, an evil friend is always an evil friend on both sides.  It may excite you that his spiritual advisor was and is a black activist but some of us have better taste than that.</description>

		<description>Ding Dong, oh yes, he apologized, just like he apologized for opposing the Martin Luther King Jr holiday.  Care to guess what he'll apologize for a few years from today?  

&lt;i&gt;I'm sorry...once again I excercised extremely poor judgement...

when selecting my running mate.
when I said the war in Iraq was winnable. 
when I said the fundamentals of the economy were strong.&lt;/i&gt;</description>

No, but Sean Hannity still rolls the audio once or teice a week on his radio show to get his flock riled up.  Strange isn't it, though,that for a channel that insists it's "fair and balanced," never talks about Sarah Palin's fringe Assembly of God church and its core belief that all religions other than their own are demonic?</description>

Sorry, LD, that topic is apparently off limits to the GOP.  Some McCain critic tried to bring up the Keating 5 scandal on the "Fox and Friends" daily propaganda fest when somebody in the control room at Fox blurted "Cut his mic."  Steve Doocy then explained that it's old news that belongs on the History Channel.  Not only a bad week for McCain, but for Fox News as well.</description>

		<description>LD: Sure go for it. McCain even after being exonerated, apologized.

The Senate Ethics Committee concluded that Glenn and McCain's involvement in the scheme was minimal and dropped the charges against them. In August 1991, the committee ruled that the other three senators had acted improperly in interfering with the Federal Home Loan Banking Board's investigation.

		<description>DingDong, the past matters again?  So does that mean you'd like to discuss McCain's involvement in the Savings and Loan crisis?  Perhaps that should be revisted in light of the current banking crisis? Just what "poor judgement" is McCain exercising this time?</description>
