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 furtherance of the flawed theory that America is a center-right country, some people are ARGUING that Barack Obama got elected on his “conservative” campaign positions.
I don’t think so.

That makes no sense at all. McCain and Palin were calling Obama a socialist as were some contributors to this blog. The fact remains that throughout Obama’s political life, starting with running for President of the Harvard Law Review, he’s been a consensus builder and actually very cautious about his stands. The notion that he is somehow a “far-left radical” is absurd. If you understand the politics of this country, nobody who is truly extreme left or extreme right has a realistic chance of winning the two major party nominations, let alone the presidency. And that’s a good thing. It makes no more sense to call Obama a marxist or a socialist than to call McCain a fascist.
