POPSAfghan outlook bleak as Taliban grabs territory While Obama plans his Peace Prize speech, our declared enemy is defeating our military for lack of commitment by their Commander-in-Chief. This is a travesty. The Taliban will, again, make Afghanistan it's launching site for terror attacks against the West, enslave it's population, and the soldiers who gave their lives there will have done it for nothing. All because of a lack of will. Well Ms Michelle says that she is now proud of America....I couldn't be more ashamed of her husband's treachery and abandonment. This is aiding our enemies and undermining the American soldier. Shame! This is Vietnam times TEN.

POPSSenate votes to deny funds to ACORN Well, pigs do fly!! "Sen. Mike Johanns, R-Neb., said that ACORN has received $53 million in taxpayer funds since 1994 and that the group was eligible for a wider set of funding in the pending legislation, which funds housing and transportation programs. " I suppose it's all conservative blogger/talk-show hosts' fault for bringing this to the Senate's attention. Thank goodness. It's about time that *somebody* began investigating corruption. Now...on to Congress.

POPSPelosi will let Rangel hold post despite latest allegations FTA: There is also the danger of alienating members of the Congressional Black Caucus (CBC), a large bloc of liberals in the Democratic Caucus. Many of them take pride in the fact that one of their members sits atop Ways and Means. Pelosi: Jan. 2006 ""It is long past time for the Congress to address the systemic Republican culture of corruption that has undermined the American people's confidence in this institution," Pelosi said. "I am proud that some of the best minds in our Caucus will be leading the Democratic effort to clean up the corrupt Republican Congress. These great leaders will work to restore truth and trust to the People's House." Hypocrite.

POPSCongressmen profited from inside information in the collapse? Amen to the last statement of the clip. I'm sick of all of them. Only within the last few years have I begun to realize how corrupted Washington (and everyone, I guess) truly is. I'll admit to being naive because I was raised to be honest...or suffer the consequences. If other high-profile names can be prosecuted and sent to prison...why not these?? And I don't care about their Party affiliation.

POPSCIA gave Pelosi a headsup before Panetta smackdown Don't you just want to gag. "..our policy..."? How long has Panetta been in his position? Does he know what the policy is? I have never read of so much CYA as this attempt to clear Pelosi, all the while laying the blame for this on the past Administration. It all is sickening and the average citizen wonders what kind of people are in charge of this once great Country. Corruption abounds. :~( There is no shame.

POPSBachmann Calls on Congress to Block Funds to ACORN Congress, which is always looking for things to investigate and form committees of oversight, sure need to deal with this organization. Like many large groups, it may do some good things, but the corruption is obvious and those involved need to be prosecuted.

POPSRepublicans Poised to Leap on Spending Abuses I don't care which party it is or who it might be. This thing ('stimulus package') is so huge that it would take an army of monitors to maintain true accountability. I think many Americans might support the efforts behind the 'package' if they truly believed that it wasn't throwing good money after bad and that bad investments, bad management, and pure corruption were not going to be the main profiteers of all our money. As to the idea that Republicans want the project to fail so they can look good...well, I find that highly offensive. I, for one, do not. I think it was a stupid idea. Even the current Administration acknowledges it doesn't know what all's in it as does the very Congress responsible for it. Only stupid people sign on the dotted line without knowing the obligations it will entail.

POPSJefferson Accused of Two More Schemes When are they going to get on with this and convict or clear? Is there something *political* going on here? If this had been anyone other than a Democrat, it would have been over.

POPSAn unlikely treasure-trove of donors for Clinton This from the LATimes! I don't believe this is news; political campaigns =corruption. Mrs. Clinton's campaign is suspect due to the recent revelations with Mr. Hua (sp), her husband's past suspicious connections with Chinese donations, the sheer amount of dollars in her treasure chest. I just wish the *journalists* would investigate campaign corruption as aggressively as they did Florida's ballots and voting machines in 2000.

POPSCriminal Behavior I wonder how many Americans know about this....or even care. This is corruption at the highest level of our government. Gone are the days when Administrations could hide. The Media is everywhere. So we know...now what?

POPSHe's back: Sandy Berger now advising Hillary Clinton Amazing! Though not so surprising. These people have no shame. Any Republican involved in *unusual* sex is tarred & feathered. They are accused of 'phony' slander and denounced on the Senate floor. They have a memory lapse and are convicted of perjury. Yet, Mr. Berger gets a slap on the wrist for stealing classified information and then lying about it. But he only has to bide his time and wait for the Clintons to call and he's back at their political and corrupted money trough. Any American, Rep. or Dem., should be appaulled that a convicted National Security chief would be hired to work for and advise a potential President of the United States.

POPSScooter's Sentence I don't know, but it made me feel a little better knowing that a liberal, Democratic law professor had a difficult time with this case too. Sandy Berger is having lunch at his Club and Paris gets to serve her time at home.

POPSFox News reporter calls Chavez apologist an SOB... Just to get some discussion going since Fox is always criticized for being Right-Wing. Their reporters are excellent...in my opinion. They are *there* in the midst of things. Jennifer Griffith, Harrigan, the guy who covers the UN, etc... they put their lives in danger to show the actual conflict/corruption that is going on. Then "you decide".

POPSBerger's Eternal Secret Well, isn't this amazing? Now our imaginations can run wild forever. It must have been something very significant to warrant this kind of slap-on-the-wrist. My imagination is already wondering who blackmailed who? (whom?)

POPSBush authorizes new covert action against Iran... More undermining of our national security??!! Revealing to the world the covert operations of our government against an enemy who has declared it's intentions for our destruction!!! I call this treason; NOT freedom of speech or " I-get-to-break-the-story". What will they say when *their* house comes falling down on their heads?! Bush's fault?

POPSSandy Berger Forfeits Law License Does this bother anyone else? So he willingly gave up his law license to avoid answering "embarrassing" questions; big deal. I don't think any of us would have the same options if we had been caught with highly classified documents in our possession. Things like this reminds me of how corrupt our government has become.

POPSReport Says Berger Hid Archive Documents Oh, my gosh!. He "returned them to his office". How about returning them to the Archives building? I wish someone would investigate this as much as they dug into Foley's e-mails. Foley was unethical; Berger is a criminal. And for what reason, hmmmmm???

POPSAhmadinejad, our "new pen pal" Even if you agree with his assessment of President Bush, do you realize he has already won the hearts and minds of most of Europe and perhaps even the US?
