POPSMcCain supports a Quagmire
Contrary to what failed presidential candidate John McCain has stated in this article, history tells us that success in Afghanistan is measured in getting as many of your troops out of the country alive as possible. Afghanistan is a proven destroyer of empires, and the US should stop thinking that they are better than any of the other empires that tried to tame Afghanistan through the centuries. Nothing can be gained by staying in Afghanistan other than more senseless deaths of NATO soldiers and ever greater animosity against the invading NATO troops. Certainly, it's far from a tenable solution, but in the end, fewer people will die if you just let the warlords fight it out on their own. Afghanistan is stubbornly a collective of sheikdoms that has defied being unified since before Alexander the Great. If America thinks that they are the magic pixies that are going to change that, they have a very rude awakening coming to them. Don't let NATO troops die in vain. Bring them home.

POPSState of Delusion Birther Certificate Something to award those lunatic Birthers that nag you with their unjustified delusions about Obama not being a natural-born American. If you really want to twist the knife, tell them that John McCain WASN'T born in the US (Born in Panama), so he was never a valid presidential candidate in the first place, going by the issue they're tripping out about.

POPSTypical cartoon by a Republican with blinders on The Republicans like to rewrite history; even before it's history. How quickly they forget it was a bipartisan motion to have the $700 billion bailout, their candidate, John McCain supported it as well, and many Republicans voted for it right from the start. But oh, no! Now it's all Obama's fault! Wankers.

POPS"Fear Has a Whole New Ring" It's gratifying to know that when the McCain campaign tried to relay this same message in a state where robocalls were illegal, the workers of the call centre walked out of the job, rather than pass on McCain's lies and slander.

POPSImage Beats Facts for Republicans "Once upon a time, it was a canny strategy. Reagan and his staff were masters of the art of overwhelming facts with image. There's the famous story about Leslie Stahl, back in the 80s, doing a story that was critical of Reagan's use of images that contradicted facts. "I knew the piece would have an impact, if only because it was so long: five minutes and 40 seconds, practically a documentary in Evening News terms," Stahl later wrote. I worried that my sources at the White House would be angry enough to freeze me out." That's not what happened. Reagan adviser Dick Darman called from the White House to tell her how much they had loved the piece. Stahl replied, incredulously, "Didn't you hear what I said?" Darman replied, "Nobody heard what you said. You guys in Televisionland haven't figured it out, have you? When the pictures are powerful and emotional, they override if not completely drown out the sound. I mean it, Lesley. Nobody heard you.""

POPSNobody Cares about Ayers So, what are the chances of McCain and Cronies getting a clue and realizing that nobody cares about Ayers, and that they've got nothing to handle what people really care about.

POPSWhat he really means to say We'll believe that McCain's really concerned about the vicious lynch-mod attitude of his supporters when he stops the negative ads and puts a cork in Sarah Palin.
