POPSUMWA President Rebukes McCain
Despite what the McCain campaign and some far right-wing blogs would have Americans believe, Sen. Obama has been and remains a tremendous supporter of coal and the future of coal. “I noted that Sen. McCain even went so far yesterday as to say he has always been a supporter of coal. I wonder, then, how he can justify his statement at a Senate hearing in 2000 that, ‘In a perfect world we would like to transition away from coal entirely,’ and his leading role in sponsoring legislation in 2003 that would have wiped out 78 percent of all coal production in America? “Fortunately, UMWA members, their families and their friends and neighbors in the coalfields know all too well what is going on here. They’re not going to fall for it, and we urge others throughout America who care about coal to review what the candidates’ records on coal actually are. We are confident that once they do, and once they see the many other benefits to working families of voting for Sen. Obama, they will make t

POPSRedneck support for Obama Great video "If you're going to vote for someone just because they're black or white there's no reason for you to even vote. You're not voting for what you want you're just voting for race." Brilliant!

POPSMcCain supporter refuses candy to kids I know this has probably been clipped already, but it needs to be clipped again and again. What a hateful, hurtful woman. Sorry to see anyone living a life that is so obviously fear based and then trying to spread that fear and hate to kids and so proud of herself that she can face the cameras and seem happy that she hurt other people.

POPSUnder the Radar New Obama site set up to fight the direct mail and Robo Call attacks. "Sooner or later, people are going to figure out if all you run is negative attack ads you don't have much of a vision for the future or you're not ready to articulate it." ~John McCain (pre-principles loss)

POPSEarly voting 'boosts Democrats' they only mention Florida to say that absentee ballots are running 3 to 2 in favor of the Republicans, but I've been watching the Orlando daily totals and the last few days the dem early voters have outnumbered the republicans by 3 to 1.

POPSExplanations for the Palin spending spree "I saw the RNC statement on Gov. Palin’s $150,000 clothing bender on the RNC's tab. This caper is gonna make for a long day at the office for the good folks at the RNC/McCain press operation. Thought I’d offer a little help in a humorous vein; some other possible spin lines for the RNC."

POPSMcCain's Incoherence Finally, McCain had this exchange about his campaign's skeevy robo-calls this weekend on Fox: WALLACE: ... and you said the following , "I promise you, I have never and will never have anything to do with that kind of political tactic." Now you've hired the same guy who did the robo calls against you to — reportedly, to do the robo calls against Obama and the Republican Senator Susan Collins, the co-chair of your campaign in Maine, has asked you to stop the robo calls. Will you do that?

POPSMuslim McCain Fans Confront Intolerance At Rally Video after the link and it finally restores my faith in McCain / Palin supporters. It's good to see some people standing up and denouncing these tactics. I still think it should be McCain / Palin doing the denouncing though.

POPSMcCain to use "Yo Momma" Insults in Debate From 23/6: With an unrepentant economy and Sarah Palin satires dominating the news, several new tracking polls show Barack Obama widening his lead over John McCain anywhere from 14 points at the NYT/CBS Polls to 101 points at MSNBC, taken between the Countdown and Rachel Maddow Shows. Only at Fox News where they show a narrow 3 point margin for McCain in the BillOReilly.com "Phones Are Poppin'" Poll that asked the Folks™ to choose between McCain and a Muslin Comrade of a Terrorist, does McCain hold a lead. "Obviously thing are looking a bit dire," said McCain spokesman, Tucker Bounds, "so you can expect Senator McCain to take off the gloves at tonight's debate. In actuality, someone will probably help him take off those gloves just before the debate, but he will be well-prepared to be aggressive, no matter the issue."

POPSJohn McCain rally in Iowa marked by partisan prayer Yep, because Heaven is exactly like those fake wrestling shows. All the different Gods have to throw down to protect their rep and "street cred". WTF? And they need Rev. Arnold Conrad to ring the bell to start the match...Right.

POPSSarah Palin is a Bitch… there I said it. "Please take your ridiculous hair, your over lipstick-smacking mouth, your Lenscrafter look smarter glasses and your poorly fitted designer jackets back to Alaska. And when you get there, shove a piece of the pipeline up your considerable ass. I’ll be damned if we’ll put our children’s future in your hands. And the same thing goes for McCain - the ass wipe who gave her this national platform effectively pushing the woman’s movement back into the dark ages - knowing McCain that might have been his plan all along." Love it!

POPSThe Sidewalk to Nowhere, McCain Supporters in Bethlehem, PA I'm not even going to mention how wrong these people are regarding their political arguments. Why are people who are obviously not at work themselves deriding other people for not being at work? Seriously? That's just stupid. I wish I could feel more pity for these people since they are so obviously trapped in their own ignorance, fear and hatred. Really, where does that come from? Palin eats hate and winks while playing to the cameras, but McCain should be ashamed that he has fostered this.
