POPSDirty politics take time and money to clean up Another right-wing cheerleader who got it wrong. He claims that since no charges stuck to Bush/Cheney while they were office is proof that the charges were unsubstantiated while ignoring the fact that no one had the balls to go up against an administration with such unprecedented power and the lack of moral restraint to use it.

POPSThe ‘Me’ Generation Meets the Internet Has the internet become a diversionary tool of political leaders? Agreed, it wasn’t designed for this purpose but savvy authoritarian political regimes are taking advantage of this aspect to push their agenda of ‘keeping their citizens under their thumb’ while those same citizens are busy occupying themselves with movies, music and games.

POPSPorn and Politics Special understanding? Uniquely qualified? Please enlighten us as to what special understanding and unique qualities does having sex with anyone who breathes makes her think she is more capable than someone engaged in legitimate employment facing the daily struggle of putting food on their table and keeping a roof over their head. Has the state of our political system gotten so distorted and fallen to such a low level of respect that this proposal can be entertained as serious? As if to say, “people we have elected to political office exhibit the same low-moral character of the porn industry so why not elect a person whose only qualifications are that she ‘rose to the top of her profession’. Am I part of a dying breed that thinks ethics and morality should still be considered as legitimate values? Perhaps the time is right for porn to get into politics. Politicians have screwed us out of everything else we hold dear.

POPS'War criminal' Bush blamed for global crisis Why were heads of state prevented from seeing what the protestors thought? I'm sure Bush is not kept completely out of touch with how some people think of his actions. I'm equally certain he just doesn't care.

POPSAn open apology to boomers everywhere “We heard the voice of a man who can inspire with his words, who's unashamed of his own intelligence, who's willing to treat the citizens of this country like smart, capable people, worthy of respect.” So unlike Bush and his neo-cons. “For the first time in some of our lifetimes, we believed.” 60’s idealism coming full circle. With a little less violence.

POPSAlaskans Protest Palin We need to listen to those who know her best. Notice the sign at the top of this photo? My guess is it says "No More Welfare for Exxon".

POPSCulture Wars continue Large numbers of Americans voted for Bush because he seemed like a regular guy, someone you'd want to have a beer with. Joe Six-Pack doesn't understand why the world and his culture are changing and why he doesn't have a say in it." The GOP appealed to Joe Six-Pack by harping on cultural issues like the "three Gs," gods, guns and gays. We are being played again.

POPSLame you can believe in Few voters know that Obama would cut taxes of the vast majority of Americans by far more than McCain would. Few know Obama would guarantee everyone access to health care or that McCain’s health plan might endanger coverage many already have. Few know that Obama has a coherent program to create new jobs through public investment in roads, bridges, transit and green technologies. Few know that McCain’s economic plan is worse than President Bush’s. McCain would add $8.5 trillion in new debt over the next 10 years. Political campaigns are supposed to be an opportunity to tell the public what you are about, it should not be used as an opportunity to attack the other party. To both candidates: Get your message out, make us 'feel' we have to vote for you and not against the other guy. Let the American public decide which one is good or bad for us. Stop the manipulation and the attack politics.

POPSHe's a Rebel Imagine wanting to recognize a group of people who want autonomy and freedom from another ruling regime. Of course, we know what Russia's ulterior motives are: to place South Ossetia and Abkhazia on their shelf of trophies and to tick off the U.S. It appears to be working.
