POPSHealthcare Lies #1 in Series I ask: Who was it, when was it, and what was the alleged purpose of instituting such regulations? Behind the alleged intentions, what were the true intentions? Was there pre-knowledge that the effect would be detrimental to consumers in the long run? Was the well-being of the people sacrificed in order to cause the state of healthcare to degenerate and costs to spiral out of control just so eventually the people would acquiesce to governmental control? After all, go back only to the Clinton effort. When that failed do you imagine Democrats wanted to see conditions improve or get worse? That answer is obvious. The worse it got, the more pleased they had to be.

POPSWork to Kill This Power Grab-Election 2010 At least when the dysfunctional goal is money, it is pretty wide open to anyone who wants to take their shot. When the power grabbers are in control, most of us, by definition, are to be the VICTIMS of their power grab. We all get poorer, and we lose our freedom. Not in the abstract, as it was pre-Obama, but in reality. As it is NOW. Behind EVERY one of these daily "moves" lies an advancement upon power and control.

POPSHalf Century of a Thickening Plot Only in 21st century do JFK/RFK begin to REALLY make sense for those of us that needed more than just "woo-woo" conspiracy theories to connect the dots. Now we can look back and see the marked contrasts and clear changes in direction that were taken, see how this drive for global control of America's assets deviated into a separate direction, was clearly something other - something foreign - and the earlier steps on this VERY SAME PATH we find ourselves on now. Where we are run by the global money suppliers, and manipulated through the major media, and deceived with a succession of puppets posing as presidents. Obama-Bush-Clinton-Bush ALL knowingly unapologetic and arrogant in their NWO roles. Reagan and Carter were definitely used successfully but held onto their independent streaks. (They tried to kill Reagan, Carter they ran out of town.) It is SO clear, FINALLY, that the Kennedys were defiantly against them that they were assassinated.

POPSObama Fraud ~ This is NOT Right vs. Left This was clear last year if you wanted to open your eyes and see. You CAN be immune to the mass hypnosis ~ YES YOU CAN!! See who is leading you down the same path as the others. You know those evil, evil men who kept your jaw clenched at night? You think this man is your salvation from all that? Oh,and just remember, Hollywood's "stars" have NEVER been there because of their intellect or their emotional stability, right? Really, who should care if you join in the Great (Inter)National Slobberfest over this cat. It's just that as the time becomes more critical freedom will depend on numbers. How many are left who haven't been fooled again?

POPSHey, YO! You Two Presidentes! Heads Up!
With the CDO architects (Rubin & Co.) tasked with "fixing" the crap they created while reminding you who the supposed "real" culprits (scapegoats) are ("failed policies", "8 yrs.". "blah,blah"), and while the gentle daddy rubs your tummy while overseeing the setup for the final Big Pop and Crumble, orating in tones of gentle thunder that render you passive before serving you the Kool-Aid, will our Jim Jones be perceiving threats in a sensible way? Nationalistic Anti-Capitalism (i.e. Chavez) is probably not fully aware that the job is done. Global Financial Socialists soon to begin the 21st year of the Bush/Clinton Puppet Regime have already lit the fuse. Oby needs to get the word to actors like these ~~~>> that they can stand down. THEIR GOALS ARE ONE IN THE SAME! They need just bide their time and America will be diminished to the irrelevant, subservient bit-player JFK and RFK would have NEVER allowed us to become, yet which Teddy and Papa Joseph P. envisioned we must become.

POPSRubin-Enron-Citi-One more reborn savior??Not! (Recall this from 2002) "But the Democrats have been unsure about whether to pursue the investigation into the political realm. Part of this timidity is a desire to avoid the appearance of partisan excess that, in the Clinton scandals, drew a backlash against the Republicans. But they are undoubtedly afraid that some of their own luminaries, Rubin chief among them, might end up on the wrong side of a subpoena. It would be a shame if these fears, and the media's reluctance to pursue these issues independently, kept the public from learning the truth about the political corruption involved in Enron's rise and decline."

POPSThe Real Culprits - Part Three While government arguably has a role in helping low-income folks buy a home, Clinton went overboard by strong-arming lenders with tougher and tougher regulations, which only led to lenders taking on hundreds of billions in subprime bilge. Market failure? Hardly. Once again, this crisis has government's fingerprints all over it.

POPSThe Real Culprits - Part Two The Clinton-era corruption, combined with unprecedented catering to affordable-housing lobbyists, resulted in today's nationalization of both Fannie and Freddie, a move that is expected to cost taxpayers tens of billions of dollars.

POPSThe Real Culprits - Part One And in so doing, he helped create the market for the risky subprime loans that he and Democrats now decry as not only greedy but "predatory." Yes, the market was fueled by greed and overleveraging in the secondary market for subprimes, vis-a-vis mortgaged-backed securities traded on Wall Street. But the seed was planted in the '90s by Clinton and his social engineers. They were the political catalyst behind this slow-motion financial train wreck. And it was the Clinton administration that mismanaged the quasi-governmental agencies that over the decades have come to manage the real estate market in America.

POPSBigPicture=Acorn+Fannie+SubPrimeGoneMad 1993,Congress gave Fannie and Freddie the go-ahead to finance it all by buying loans from banks, then repackaging and securitizing them for resale on the open market. "We have to use every means at our disposal to end discrimination and to end it as quickly as possible," Clinton's comptroller of the currency, Eugene Ludwig, told the Senate Banking Committee in 1993. Wall Street eagerly sold the new mortgage-backed securities. Not only were they pooled investments, mixing good and bad, but they were backed with the implicit guarantee of government.

POPSRedlining, Schmedlining !! Age-old standards of banking prudence got thrown out the window. In their place came harsh new regulations requiring banks not only to lend to uncreditworthy borrowers, but to do so on the basis of race. Despite warnings from GOP members of Congress in 1992, Clinton pushed extensive changes to the rules requiring lenders to make questionable loans. Lenders who refused would find themselves castigated publicly as racists.

POPSThis Guy Ain't No Bill Clinton. Obama will be good for America. And if you are still hankering for Hillary because of notions you've been holding onto for some time now, or some revival of the '90's......STOP......and really LOOK at the candidates. LOOK at the difference.Look in their eyes. Listen to their voices. Watch their mannerisms. Look at whether they are hiding something or not. You can tell. If you have come to believe that Hillary has plans and goals that have so convinced you and that are so important to you that you are willing to overlook the proven track record of deceit and the obvious disdain she feels for people and the phony front she uses to mask it, then I think it is time you re-examine your understanding of those goals and plans you think she has for America. Then re-adjust them back down to reality. Then, after that, compare them to Obama's. As thin as they've been, he has a philosophy - which is more than just hope. He will do things because they are the correct thing to do rather than who

POPSHillary Admits Fox News Is Fair No adults,however, anchoring MessNBC. Election coverage is an abomination in terms of professionalism. K.O. is pre-occupied fantasizing himself to be one of journalism's historical figures (gag me) and now sidekick Matthews flounders with no guidance or structure, as Williams, Russert, and Brokaw - each capable in their own right - are alternately amused, to uninspired, to disgruntled. MessNBC has always been a mess but rather than finding solutions and seeking professional levels and standards, the ideology remains the priority as it drifts further left. As it falls completely off the leftist edge, it manifests in new ways. As disrespect for authority and disdain for responsible behavior become more the order of the day on the set one sees the inevitable lack of respect they have for each other, dripping mostly from Olbermann's rude sideways glances to belittle his peers. This is the inside glimpse of classic leftist/liberal mindset as it is evident in common scenarios beyond strict

POPSWho's Voting For This Guy????? Proof (?) the OLD-media still runs the show? It seems that the web and talk radio are quite aware of the Hillary-style contempt J.Mc has for the voters, and the similar ability and willingness to speak a lie directly to a man's face, in front of the world, maintain that lie, and scoff contemptuously at the truth then - AS IF IT WAS THE LIE.!!! Who is it that observes this behavior, in light of the OBVIOUS REAL TRUTH - yet says: "Yes. This is a guy I can trust." WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH OUR PEOPLE? *Two pair of candidates. *In each set one who lies in the face of the truth, plays a childish psychology of blaming, contemptuous rationalizing, storytelling, and manipulation, who wobble from stance to stance revealing an inner core standing for nothing. *And alternatives who are, well, a little better than that, anyway, but who are less connected to the old machinery and can each exude an honest sense of success WITHOUT the puppet strings and the backing of the same power gangs. *W

POPSDishonest?....or.....Stupid? Take a good hard look at the antics of John McCain and don't let the "hero" card get in your way. I ask America: Why do we put as frontrunners two smug, manipulating, LYING, backstabbers like Hillary Clinton and John McCain? Ask yourself! Ask your friends! Ask your family! Why do we flock to these people. Is it a reflection of our own collective self-imagery? Then let's admit we ourselves may be scoundrels at times ~~ AND LOOK FOR SOMETHING BETTER IN OUR LEADERS!

POPSSupreme Dirty Spirit Clear to See. "Clinton herself fanned the fumes of patronization when she reached clumsily for an analogy that appeared to link Obama and King to simplistic hopers and dreamers, while it took a white man, President Johnson, to pass the Civil Rights Act of 1964." "Up to now, the Democratic race has been a victorious story of Americans saying they found it hard to choose between Obama, Clinton, and John Edwards, with issues and personality mattering more than gender or race. Let us hope the candidates, particularly Hillary Clinton, remember that, before they divide the Democrats into a bitter, weakened bunch for November."

POPSPres.Material-Obama's a Solid Guy The others are shifty & insecure. Clinton & Edwards eyes dart, they show anxiety and are quick to defensiveness. Johnny looks like he is trying on facial poses to appear a serious adult..Forget about a LEADER! Give him credit though. He did try to reach his inner nature, though unsuccessfully. Chris Matthews is half-drunk in the post-game analysis. I don't know what these guys think they are seeing and hearing, but they surely aren't seeing these candidates with open eyes. Matthews guesses Hillary won because she took on Bush harshly so she is now the "leader of the party". The self-image of a candidate is more important than whatever it is these news guys are seeing. I don't mean over-confidence, either. Clinton and Edwards are closer to G.Bush than they are to Obama. Insecure and emotionally fragile. Obama scored on every question. The order is "in". Hillary must look good. Make viewers unsure about the reality they just saw, and wonder if maybe Cris and Keith are right -

POPSBarack Left OFF Michigan Ballot. Michigan - Write in Obama if it'll count, that is. I guess that it is too late for him to iron this out? Congratulations on Iowa. Go Romney and Thompson, too.

POPSWho"Ups"YourEarningPotential -'08 ? Comparing candidates and your likelihood for our money-making improvement. Past the biases in comment, the facts at site seem pretty honestly compiled. Of course this is not about sending us "straight-up cash" to accomplish the goals (which'd be dumb) rather to limit tax on your fund & investment earnings and such; inspiring personal wealth, improving healthcare(yes); jobs, growth and opportunity here "in country"; cutting spending & waste, etc.

POPSWe Choose Candidates Like Us. Ms.Clinton lies. She despises regular people. Who do we know that is like that and seethes at any criticism of Hillary? Know anyone who would stoop to sending a profanity laced eMail privately to a Clipper (me) in response to my effort to bring Hillary's dangerous side to light? I think I do. Like Hillary, Like (insert name).

POPSCoward joe@metacolo Defends Clinton Sl*t. joe@remailer.metacolo.coward SENT ME THIS: Hey, twit--Hillary has done nothing for which she has been put on trial and/found guilty. Meanwhile, how many elected GOP congressmen have been found guily of this and that crime and left office in disgrace or are currently under investigation? You let your silly assed brain and right-wing head sput shit about Dems when in fact the GOP has fucked over the contryk, driven us into debt, mired us down in Iraq over a batch of lies, and made our nation a fucking joke throughout the world. And did I mention the decline of the dollar and the housing mess, which is bound to get much worse? Nah. You have your finger up your ass and all you can do is spout your anti woman diatribe against Hillary...stop playing with yourself.

POPSAttack on Iran Chances? Slim to NONE, --<< Indeed, it's not even clear the vice president is an advocate of action, as opposed to tough talk, on Iran. Defense Secretary Robert Gates, Admiral William Fallon, the head of Central Command for the Middle East, and probably Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice - all think military engagement with Iran is a recipe for disaster.>>--
