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.” |

Even in a down economy, there are CERTAIN THINGS people of conscience won’t do just for a paycheck.

The call center employee was either being asked to lie, or, she misunderstood what she was reading (which is my guess).
Nobody has ever claimed that Senator Barrack Obama had any part of any bombing. He has ties, and a currently (despite evidence to the contrary) denies any personal interaction with a known terrorist, Bill Ayers.
He just needed to come forward with the truth at the time. NBow, it’s too late (I know, I know, everyone’s polls say it doesn’t matter)……..

McCain has no chance against voters like the ones in the link below, so I am not even sure why he has gone the low road:

How sad… Would it be crazy to make at bare minimum watching the debates prerequisite for pulling the lever. I imagine Pat’s Side may argue that would somehow be unfair and would be suppressing votes of people for them to be able to name 1 thing their candidate is for or against and maybe also be able to name their running mate to boot. A lot to ask I understand. Gov Palin couldn’t name some things and was said to be unsuited for the VP, why are voters not held to a standard also?

Someone sent this to me, I had already seen it, but I still like it. Enjoy…
Regarding Pat’s post, I applaud the workers for standing up for their beliefs, even when it means suffering financial hardship.

You’ll never hear the rest of the story, this is a liberal site that Pat is referencing. I am pretty sure Pat never had any journalist integrity.

After all of the crap that Obama’s team have dropped on anybody and everybody ()the plummer for one) where the hell has Pat been while the Barrack group have spread mud on so many? Good grief Obama is even blaming the current economic problem on the Republicans when it was was their party and their president who kept fighting to stop what was obviously going on at Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. when it was people, all of them left wing Democrats, and mostly Congress people that have overstayed their time in the job who were and are guilty of causing this mess.
I can see now that retirement has done nothing to make Pat a reasonable tempered American.

Chuckles the Clown, please stop being (with apologies to Bill O’Reilly) a pinhead and give this Obama-Ayers thing a rest. Fox’s Pretty Boy Hannity has been jumping up and down about this for months, and (much to his obvious chagrin) he’s gotten nowhere with it. And neither will you, chum.
Obama has explained the association numerous times, and polls show that 84% of the electorate considers it a non-issue. So please stop the childish tantrums and let’s intelligently discuss the REAL issues of the campaign, OK?

And I’m pretty sure that you never mastered the mechanics of proper sentence construction. You live up to the standards of your screen name quite well.

Say what you will, Bob Ham, but the polls suggest that I’m in the mainstream of American politics, which is more than you can say. As for my retirement, it gives me more time to enjoy this campaign season and its inexorable momentum toward total humiliation of right-wing extremists. One other thing, Bob, your writings over the years have shown you to be a bitter, angry man. So, you’re hardly one to question whether I’m a “reasonable tempered American,” as you ungrammatically put it.

Ah the McCain campaign, entertaining at every turn.
Have fun with this:

I think Pat wants us all to know he went to college. His grammer is without flaw and his ability to try to belittle others is a sport to him.

Well, Better for these Right Wing Extremist to come here and throw bombs than in the streets.
(aka McVey)
These bitter evil men have to have an outlet.
Their still not satisfied even after eight years of republican nonsense though.
Yet here they are, The very first in line to question another’s patriotism
and love of country
Suggest they look in a mirror, They’ll see John McSane staring back
An decrepit old man out of ideas and out of touch screaming at the kids to stay off his lawn
The American people are about to reject these extremist in numbers that will shock these flag waving idiots.
But never enough to convince them that it is THEY who are the outsiders in American society
Out of touch, Out of the mainstream and out of idea’s.
12. Billybeermonicagar | October 22nd, 2008 at 7:31 pm
Better for these left wing extremists to come here and throw bombs than at the Pentagon.
aka Bill Ayers
These bitter evil men need an outlet.
They still are not satisfied, even after Barney Frank, Chris Dodd and the rest of the fun bunch, led us into this great financial mess we are in.
Yet here they are, questioning their own patriotism.
I suggest they look in the mirror. Looking back at them would be Oblahblah, Ayers, Rev. Wright, Pelosi and Reid laughing at their stupidity.
Dumb dems with the same old ideas that have kept their ‘people’ just where they want them.(in poverty and need) They promise to take from those that produce and give to those that won’t.
The lazy American people are about to accept these handouts without question.
Easy to get votes when you promise the moon to people that never get up early enough to see the sun.
Out of touch except for 10 second sound bites from the main stream media.(thanks Orlando)

Ayers cannot compare to the endorsement McCain gets…
http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2008/10/21/AR2008102102477.html
“…Al-Qaeda will have to support McCain in the coming election,” said a commentary posted Monday on the extremist Web site al-Hesbah, which is closely linked to the terrorist group. It said the Arizona Republican would continue the “failing march of his predecessor,” President Bush….”

As a long-time republican, I am honestly frustrated with the campaign McCain has run. At best, the message is scatter-shot. The RNC has botched this campaign, when they needed a home run. hiding Palin from the media in her early stages was a failed idea, now she is doing interviews and still acts like a 3rd grader, perhaps thats the reason to shelter her since her VP nod. The low-road strategy is an ‘old gag’ that wore out its usefulness in the 80’s. The RNC could have won this easily, but the shannanigans from the White House did not help at all. After all the Bs that has gone on in this campaign, McCain still has a shot at it, but the bumbles, childhood antics and White House ignorance on the economy will do him in. My dead pet labrador could beat McCain in this election, but Obama beat him to it.
15. Billybeermonicagar | October 22nd, 2008 at 10:25 pm
unmanager, read the entire article and see this.
Some terrorism experts said the support for McCain could be mere bluster by a group that may have more to fear from a McCain presidency.
16. unmanager | October 23rd, 2008 at 4:31 am
Really doesn\’t matter WHAT you read…Al Qaeda SUPPORTS McCAIN!!!! We now know who the terrorists want….to borrow from ditto4chuck…PROVE they don\’t support McCain…Ayers never \"endorsed\" Obama…I did my research….
17. Billybeermonicagar | October 23rd, 2008 at 7:19 am
Sounds like you think Ayers is a terrurist.
18. echo4charlie | October 23rd, 2008 at 9:51 am
Orlando Clay,
I think the Disney universe created a vortex, and it sucked you in. You don’t seem to live on Earth anymore. Do animals speak with humans in your universe (not drug or medication induced, either)?
Don’t you want your preferred leader to tell you the truth? Just be honest, whether the results are positive or negative? He’s just pulling the “teflon” act, and shrugging everything away unanswered. The truth will come to surface.
What would your response be if, and this is hypothetical only, if he appointed Bill Ayers to his cabinet? Seriously? These ties are proven and all but admitted by Senator Obama.
19. echo4charlie | October 23rd, 2008 at 11:25 am
Unmanager:
What research?
You are a strange, sad, goofy man. Open the shades, and let some light into your unibomber shack.
Sincerely,
ditto4chuck
20. Barney | October 23rd, 2008 at 1:58 pm
Wow, Right Wing Fanatics !
Not only can they Vote,They can breed
Surely after eight years of this nonsense SOMEBODY should advance a law in the Congress that would strengthen the electoric by requiring a reality based test before allowing them to Vote and a strong contraceptive that would hamper their breeding capacities
Who the hell won WW2 anyhow ?
Obama/Biden 08
