So let’s all understand how Pat Cunningham “thinks”
FactCheck.org is ALWAYS right, even when they get it wrong about Barry and the NRA…because that fits Pat’s view of the world
But when a group like Media Matters that is farther to the left than a bicyclist on the M-1 motorway (that’s in Britain, Pat…get it?) then
FactCheck is completely wrong
Just so we all know where the bar is

Bouncy: The bar is where you seem to be spending too much time. And what about McCain having voted against funding the troops? Huh? Huh? Sounds unpatriotic to me.

He voted against that funding because it included a timeline for withdrawal, whether Iraq’s government and security forces were ready for our withdrawal, or not.
People need to understand, pulling out troops out before the mission is accomplished is going to be very bad for everyone.
And speaking of the bar, well when this is all done, and the election results are in, whoever supported the losing candidate should buy those who supported the next President a round.

I would definitely be down for a little friendly gathering of Applesauce commenters for some adult beverages at a local establishment. I don’t expect to be buying, which makes the premise that much more appealing.

Milton: That sounds like a good idea. Let’s work on that. Dutch treat.

It would have to be at Carlyle. I don\’t drink imported beer!

You guys should be out here in eastern Washington with me. We have some great microbrews out here. When I lived in Wheaton, there was one microbrewery about 20 minutes away. That was pretty much it. Now I have three that are 5 to 20 minutes away and another about 1/2 hour away. And more wineries than you can shake a stick at. In fact, we produce 75% of the hops used in the U.S. (American grown, none of that foreign crap.)
P.S. Obama is just about to declare Washington locked up. McCain isn’t doing too well out here. Even in the rightwing areas.

Interesting Mr. Knauss. You’re a lucky man to be living in such a beautiful place.
I just got back from a Mount Rainier Climb up there.
Beautiful place. My first time back in 14 years. I always forget how beautiful it is. Seattle was great, too (as always).

I’ve been a pacifist ever since I beat five guys to death in a bar fight many years ago. The authorities were so impressed with my prowess against such great odds, they declined to charge me. Besides, these other guys attacked me.
