POPSMcSame McCain gives up on trying to campaign on the issues and instead brings in professional BS spinners from the Bush years to sow confusion and fear into the electorate. Let's hope this plan fails.

POPSBush Administration: Fox in the Henhouse What is this? The White House asked him twice to resign? Maybe they didn't say pretty please. Sorry, not good enough, if you want to get rid of someone like this and you ask them to resign and they don't, you fire them.

POPSWhy America Will Survive George W. Bush Otto von Bismarck saw how American blunders led to American power and allegedly said that God has a special providence for drunks, fools, and the United States of America. Walter Russell Mead (of the Council on Foreign Relations) puts Bush's 8-year stint in the White House into proper perspective. America's foreign policy has been short-sighted and often self-defeating from the get-go, alternately collaborative, passive, and interventionist. And, yet, miraculously, we always come out ahead. With the unstoppable rise of a global capitalist economy, Mead makes the case that America, for all its past and current faults, will continue to be the inevitable leader of this new international buoyancy. Not even our latest mistakes (unprecedented though they may be) can derail such a powerful incentive that is the modern American world trade system. Which means, more than ever, we're literally all in this together.

POPSGreenspan: Clinton Good, Bush Bad "House Speaker Hastert and House majority leader Tom DeLay seemed readily inclined to loosen the federal purse strings any time it might help add a few more seats to the Republican majority,"

POPSIraq Cost = 2.68 Googles The Bush administration should have been forced to pay for this war in a way that was consistent with their ideology. On the financial markets. It long ago would have been rendered just another failed Bush business. But we are forced to continue to pay for his psychological issues with his dad.

POPSLibby, Cheney, Rove - 'Traitors.' Et tu Thompson? Plame Wilson portrayed herself to the outside world as an employee of Brewster Jennings & Associates. That was a dummy corporation set up for the purposes of tradecraft by the CIA. Cheney and his henchmen destroyed the value of that facade. They also put in danger the lives of everyone known to have closely associated with Plame Wilson and her "company"-- i.e. her assets and contacts in Africa and elsewhere helping her with counter-proliferation. Cheney had Libby and his other gang members potentially "burn" all those agents.

POPSBush and the Queen It is disgusting to see the president of the Unites States pander and suck-up to a British Monarch. The founders are a rolling in their graves.

POPSTurmoil Grows for Wolfowitz @ World Bank "Her initial supervisor at the State Department was Elizabeth Cheney, whose father, Vice President Dick Cheney, has been a longtime associate of Mr. Wolfowitz." The Bush administration is showing all the signs of a ship that is nearly sunk. This bunch of corrupt incompetents need to be thrown out of office. Impeach Bush and Chaney. They are complete f***-ups.

POPSAmerica's tattered foreign policy Two more years of a president that lives in a bubble who has shown that he believes that being a hubris filled arrogant bully is diplomacy. What to do other than hope that this will change?

POPSIraq: Deeper U.S. Involvement
In some ways I agree with Bush. If we don't come up with some plan to handle the mess he made in Iraq the remnants of that broken nation state will come back to haunt us. Big time. But unfortunately I feel that Bush is out of his league and hasn't clue what he is doing. Securing Iraq will take a lot more troops, a lot more than the 40,000 the president is thinking about. To that end we need to share the burden and relieve the stress on those that already serve by requiring the service of all able bodied people. If the future security of the U.S. is dependent on a secure Iraq and secure Middle East then we need sacrifice form everyone. We need the draft. We also need to raise taxes to pay for the war. What we don't need are young people largely form the lower socioeconomic classes baring the burden of the war while the SUV class buy plasma TVs made in China with their tax refund and the CEO class buy second homes in Switzerland with theirs. This is surely a recipe for disaste

POPSBush is "a pitiful coward" The dust bin of history cannot come soon enough for this presidency. Remember when they took the White House? Talk of having the adults in charge? Ha! Remember that Republicans call themselves the party of personal responsibility? Ha! Can our country survive the next two years?

POPSPresident Webb? Here Webb is playing the fence. How to be an outsiders insider. If the man plays the rebel right he may well be a contender.
