POPSThe real Presidential Competition I am convinced now that the real competition here is to see who can be the most disingenuous. McCain seems to be winning in that regard. He is willing to say absolutely anything to win. Obama keeps screwing up and saying things he actually believes.

POPSThe right answer on Acorn Forget the partisan bull. If ACORN is paying people based on either quotas or the number of registrations submitted, that is wrong, stupid and bad policy. And if they are on Obama's side, they aren't doing him any favors. Stop whining about partisan politics and being defensive, tell us how you operate and what you do.

POPSFacts? We don't need no stinkin Facts. "Palin again, a few days ago: “Our opponent is someone who sees America as imperfect enough to pal around with terrorists who targeted their own country.” At the end of the nineteen-sixties, when Bill Ayers was a leader of the New Left’s most destructive, self-destructive, and delusional splinter, Barack Obama was a small boy living with his mother in Indonesia. The fact that thirty years later Obama and Ayers sat on a couple of the same nonprofit boards tells us no more about Obama’s politics and character than does the fact that another member of one of those boards was Arnold R. Weber, the former president of the Civic Committee of the Commercial Club of Chicago and a donor of fifteen hundred dollars to the McCain campaign. Ayers and Obama are not now, nor have they ever been, pals."

POPSAyers and Obama
The fact that they are now calling Obama a terrorist because of this is outrageous, even given all the facts. Assume that Obama knew Ayers history, so what? Are you going to resign in protest from a charitable board, or refuse to be recruited because 30 years ago the guy recruiting you was a bomber protesting the Vietnam War, gave himself up to the FBI, who (shock and dismay) blew the intelligence so they had no case. That makes you a terrorist? I must be a hardened criminal because I worked on a loading dock once with a guy who I knew was a loan shark. John McCain consorted with financial criminals who stole money from poor retirees who lost everything in the S&L crisis, he must be a criminal too and a thief and someone who would let retirees pensions disappear on purpose. Actually he's also a racist because he accepted an endorsement from a pastor who was know as a racist. No wait, he's a rampant liberal because he consorted and even sposored legislation with Ted Kennedy.

POPSDefend the Constitution - Remove Gonzales Dick Viguerie says it best. I can't remember the last time I agreed with him, but this demonstrates how bad Gonzales is and also how bad it is for both sides to go down the paths that George and his cronies have taken us. It is a recognition of the slippery slope that "adjusting" the constitution for partisan politics can take you down. The Constitution and defense of it should rise above partisanship and we should fight for the defense constitutional rights and the Constitution itself no matter who it benefits at the moment.

POPSAlberto should Go Isn't this George's second AG that had a cloud around him. I can't imagine why he doesn't resign. There is a concept in the law called avoiding even the "appearance of impropriety." I am not a big Chuck Schumer fan, but he's right.

POPSGonzales has to be History now, is Rove next? Reading Justice Jackson's speech, delivered in 1940 during his first months as Attorney General ought to be mandatory for every prosecutor including incoming AGs. Maybe they would think twice about this kind of crap. You can read it here: http://www.roberthjackson.org/Man/theman2-7-6-1/

POPSMike Nifong a Criminal? Maybe Mike Nifong is a criminal. He was supported publicly and vocally in his attack on the Duke LaCrosse team by Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson. I don't imagine we will see an apology or even and acknowledgment out of Sharpton or Jackson.

POPSIgnoring the Democrats doesn't work anymore The strategy is indeed short sighted and foolish. This administration's justice department, ironically, invented the tactic of charging for the cover-up not the crime. If department officials continue to do this they can expect the treatment Gonzales is getting despite having the power to fire US Attorneys. They should start answering the questions, its a lot less painful and makes for less speculation that plays into democrats' hands.
