POPSSenate OKs $1.1 TRILLION Spending Bill The Audacity!! And look what they're tacking onto the Defense Bill. Now if anyone dares to vote against it they will be accused of 'not supporting our troops'. I would be ashamed to be in this Congress...but apparently they have no shame.

POPSBam's whiny blame game The Democrats have controlled Congress (the money strings) for how long now? They should try looking in the mirror to find their scapegoats. FTA: "He went on the Senate floor and said there wasn't time to fiddle with the bill before leaving the details to Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, who said at the time, "No one knows what to do."

POPSBoxer: Cover Viagra? Then cover abortion This woman is an idiot but she's trying to help her cause. While I don't support coverage for Viagra (no way!!!) at least it doesn't kill babies. Is there a sane person in Congress?

POPSThe Teachers' Unions that Stole Christmas But I remember reading where a professor received a grant to study volcanic activity in S. America under the Stimulus Bill. It makes sense that the NEA and teachers' unions would not support anything that would send children to private schools. The public education system is in such rapid decline that no thinking person wants their child there and no politician or wealthy person who can afford a private school would do otherwise. And the public schools that DO have some good teachers are losing them because of the stress and work load.

POPSObama Will Bankrupt America The Numbers. What a depressing and alarming read! And yet there is no stopping him. That being said, Congress is equally responsible.

POPSJustice Dept. Says ACORN Can Be Paid A-Mazing!!!! Total and complete conflict among themselves; and the parsing of the words "provided to". "Since there are two possible ways to construe the term “provided to,” Mr. Barron wrote, it makes sense to pick the interpretation that allows the government to avoid breaching contracts." (they're spreading the corruption all around)

POPSWe Ain't Seen Nothing Yet FTA: "Next year’s tax hikes will be real and large..". " As these storm clouds gather, Congress bickers on Saturday nights about borrowing even more money for health-care reform, yet another federal entitlement." Are you ready for 2010??? (sigh)

POPSPalin sold 7 times as many books as Obama did.... Not surprised. She's interesting and has a story to tell. He had someone create a few things and gave it his 'ok'. Her childhood mirrored many of ours; his did not. Her principles and values reflect traditional American culture; his reflect an anti-American sentiment that was nourished by his associations with the hate-America influences.

POPSKiss Your Freedoms Goodbye If Health Care Passes I have always liked the Judge and trusted his analysis. I believe that he is right-on concerning this Health Care Bill...even with the changes (acquiescence) made in the Senate bill. This piece of legislation is so huge that I'm not sure any of us can get our brains around it. It's so obvious that Congress does not CARE about our rights or the Constitution as we know it. I do question his assertion that Republicans want to 'assault' our civil liberties; but I'm sure many will disagree.

POPSPew: Plurality opposes ObamaCare proposals by 13 points And who is listening?? Apparently not many in Congress because they keep pushing the plan through. So much for a representative form of government. Health Care reform....yes. This plan...no! So many egos are on the line that they don't care what the people think.

POPSCongress' Secret Plan to Pass Obamacare - CONFIRMED What Country am I living in now? I never would have dreamed we would go downhill so quickly. These people are not representing us....they are completely ignoring the will of the majority for their own personal politics. This is a democracy no longer. We are being ruled by arrogant and devious thugs. They can not be stopped! Wait til this takes on human reality...for you & me...and then see what happens.

POPSGallup: Congressional approval drops sharply As well it should! I really hope that there's a huge change in the upcoming elections. It's easy to understand why Washington wanted to take control of "free speech" on talk radio and of bloggers.

POPSState to Mom: Stop Baby-Sitting Neighbors' Kids Fortunately, it appears that common sense has prevailed. However can we expect more regulations (such as this) in all those bills Congress is rushing through while failing to thoughtfully consider them? Guess they'll have to add some amendments to this.

POPSPoll: Lowest support yet for healthcare We all know this. As more of the population becomes aware of this bill the more opposed to it they became. I'm convinced that's why the Stimulus and Clunkers Bill went so quickly. Speed...while they're unsuspecting. Suddenly, people have became more informed & suspicious. Suddenly the people realized they were being duped with all that verbal hype that means nothing. Slow & steady wins the race. Reform is necessary, but this needs to be seriously vetted and studied with cognizance of what the long-term effects will be. Is there no one in Congress who will commit themselves to this most vital issue that effects (affects) soooooo many Americans for decades to come?

POPSAt Least 6 Federal Laws & Regulations Violated By the NEA Conference Call And today the WH called the call "inappropriate". I guess that's what they now call illegal activities performed by the Administration and/or Congress. "Any failure by the Congress of the United States to initiate a full-scale investigation must be considered action designed to enable the misuse of taxpayer funds in violation of federal law." Indeed.

POPSObama on ACORN... And just exactly what is he "following"? This organization helped get him elected. The current President will spend the next 3 1/2 yrs. telling us that he knows nothing about innumerable things....including foreign & domestic affairs...which are his primary Presidential responsibilities. ACORN is thoroughly corrupt. Now how does he extricate himself from them?

POPSShimkus walked on Obama: 'Frustrated' More should have "walked" because the speech was a waste of time since everyone knew what he was going to say anyway. Time better spent reading bills or reading to his kids.

POPSSenate must raise debt ceiling above $12T Hypocrite!! Stimulus, bail-outs, clunkers, healthcare, etc....Zero accountability. These politicians are completely destroying our economy while many will try to blame this on the past Administration. How much money has this Congress printed in the last 7 months?? I despise them all.
