POPSInvested In War n 2004, the first full year after the current Iraq war began, Republican and Democratic lawmakers-both hawks and doves invested between $74.9 million and 161.3 million in companies under contract with the DoD. No wonder the Democratic congress kept approving the enormous spending bills on the war, since a significant portion of it happens to end up in their deep pockets. Interestingly, the report also mentioned that members of the senate foreign relations and armed services committees which oversee the Iraq war had between $32 million and $44 million invested in companies with DoD contracts. The burning questions for many people are the following: Are there any ethics left in politics? Could the universe ever exist without wars? The answer is no, because wars have been a major part of our social make up, in addition they force geostrategic changes, make profits for the elite, and reduce population.

POPSRepublicans had big role in economic meltdown Now that Obama has been elected and has the task of cleaning up the mess the Republicans made, these same Republicans are now the self-approved experts on how to get out of this financial mess. As Obama stated several weeks ago, he and the Democrats won the election because the American people were fed up with the Republican ineptitude. In six weeks, President Obama has acted more responsibly than Bush did in eight long years.

POPSWhen it comes to civil rights, McCain has some explaining to do "In an effort to show that, if elected, he would be president of "all the people," John McCain has visited the Edmund Pettus Bridge in Selma, Ala., the scene of one of the bloodiest civil rights marches in history. He's also traveled though Alabama's impoverished Black Belt region, and showed up for services commemorating the 40th anniversary of the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.'s assassination in Memphis."

POPSThe Reason Democrats are Idiots! After the Bush presidency, the oval office is just about being handed to the Democratic Party; but No! They are not going to rally the party like this. What these morons are going to do is give the final election to McCain who is just another Bush. I'm independent, but I don't want McCain in office. I'd vote for Obama, but I'll never vote for the Hillary 'the liar' Clinton!

POPSBush OK'd confirming waterboarding "Lawful through a process..." Ahh, there you go, that explains everything, it was through a "process." I wonder if it's the same process that makes American processed cheese? WTF do you mean by "A PROCESS?" The only people more idiotic than the people dishing out this explanation, are the people that buy "process" as any kind of an explanation for anything, much less torture!

POPSPetraeus/Betray Us Ad Results in A Deluge of Support for Moveon.org Moveon.org really started something with its Petraeus/Betray-Us ad. It actually was able to move the congress into introducing and voting on legislation condemning the organization for running the ad, which is the first bit of activity we have seen there in a while. While war rages and blood flows the most important thing on the minds of our legislators was to codify censorship. We must never speak poorly, especially of a military man in uniform. The Republicans were especially outraged. Yes, the same Republicans who swift-boated John Kerry and Max Cleland who were both Viet Nam vets and heroes. I guess it depends on who is wearing the uniform at the time when we condemn an attack. Anyway, Moveon.org has received a tremendous increase in donations since congress condemned them, so as far as they are concerned, keep the complaints coming Congresspersons.

POPSMy Vote Against the Senate!!! This is my vote against the senate's vote condemning MoveOn.org. I think anyone that sides with "MoveOn" on this one, should post this "betray us ad" anywhere they can.

POPSJust a Thought, but... It seems interesting that no one has brought up the fact that Cheney believes this "defeatist strategy" will win Reid votes, rather than, lose him votes. Doesn't this speak to how the "people" view this war and that the administration knows their policies are going against the "will of the American people?"

POPS18 Minutes in 70's; Today Millions! Deleting 18 minutes was all that was needed to hide the Nixon blunders. What does it tell us about the Bush administration that it requires deletion of "millions of emails" to hide theirs?
