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.” |

In these two videos, John McCain admonishes his more rabid supporters to tone it down a bit:

An Alaskan legislative committee investigating the controversial firing of the state’s public safety commissioner issued a report tonight that SAYS Gov. Sarah Palin abused her authority but violated no laws.
This matter isn’t likely to do the Republican presidential ticket any good.
UPDATE: Here’s a concise EXPLANATION of the difference between the legality of Palin’s firing of the state’s top cop and her unethical behavior in the overall episode.

The National Journals’Â survey of the smartest political practitioners in both parties SHOWS that barely a handful of these insiders still think John McCain can defeat Barack Obama.
None of them in either party thinks a McCain victory is likely.

The vast majority of respondents in THIS POLL who are influenced by the McCain-Palin campaign’s hysteria over Bill Ayers are Republicans who weren’t going to vote for Barack Obama anyway.
Indeed, all the B.S. about Ayers might be backfiring; most Americans think McCain’s waging a negative campaign. Only one in five feel that way about Obama’s campaign. (That may explain the stunned expressions in the photos above.)
Of course, you’re free to question the veracity of any poll commissioned by those leftists at Fox News. Just like the other media, they’re in the tank for Obama (to use an expression popular among McCainiacs).

“I believe that banking institutions are more dangerous to our liberties than standing armies. If the American people ever allow private banks to control the issue of their currency, first by inflation, then by deflation, the banks and corporations that will grow up around the banks will deprive the people of all property until their children wake-up homeless on the continent their fathers conquered.” – Thomas Jefferson 1802
One problem, however: Jefferson apparently NEVER SAID any such thing.
