POPSSibling Rivalries, The Story of (Mc) Cain and Abel As soon as I read this story, an old biblical folklore came to mind... The one about Cain (without the Mc) and his brother Abel. Abel, the first murder victim, is sometimes seen as the first martyr; while Cain, the first murderer, (or in Mc's case, the character assassinator) is sometimes seen as a progenitor (originator) of evil. There is another verse from the bible that could fit here, as well. "He Who Lives in a Glass House Shouldn't Throw Stones at Others!" In other words, people should not attack others for their flaws when they have the same flaws. Or better yet, this phrase not from the bible... "What goes around comes around". or, "If you do something bad to another, (eventually) you will get hurt too!" Nuff said, John McCain! :p See video here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FcCe7ogI33k

POPSTalk About Socialism - A Case For Obama
The McCain-Palin Campaign has stooped so low it’s hard to believe it is an USA Org.... Did I just say that? The GOP can only win through dirty politics, or so they presume. The code words they use, seem so misplaced in today disastrous economy, which will only get much worse. (Especially, under a McCain/Palin administration) We will never see the end of all the sick, malicious name-calling and assassination of character during elections, unless the American voter will stop acting like frightened children, voting for fear-mongers who scare the BEJESUS out of them. This article shows why, John McCain BETTER NOT become the next president. If he does, our nation most likely, will not survive the slide the Republicans have brought about with their small government mantra, unregulated market creed and trickle-down, fairytale economics which means... huge welfare checks given to the rich, who are suppose to, in return, share with us at the bottom. Talk about socialism. :roll:

POPSMcCain/Palin and the Lunatic Fringe When reporters tried to leave the designated press area and head toward the bleachers where the crowd was seated, an escort would dart out of nowhere and confront him or her and say, "Can I help you?'' and turn the person around. When one reporter asked an escort, who would not give her name, why the press wasn't allowed to mingle, she said that in the past, negative things had been written. The campaign wanted to avoid that possibility Monday. http://blogs.tampabay.com/breakingnew... What is the McCain Camp trying to hide? Perhaps all the negativity has awakened the large Lunatic Fringe inside the republican base and The McCain Campaign does not want the rest of us to see their ignorance. A youtube member got around the restrictions and was able to capture some of these pathetic souls in all their ignorance.

POPSMcCain's Better Half, Number Two Cindy McCain, played a role in the Keating Five S&L scandal, and just as her husband was rehabilitating his reputation, she was caught stealing drugs from her nonprofit organization to feed her addiction to painkillers. She has a fortune that sets the McCain's apart from most other Americans, a problem in a presidential race that hinges on economic anxieties. She can be imprecise: she has repeatedly called herself an only child, for instance, even though she has two half-siblings. Those close to her say she aspires to be like another blonde, glamorous figure married to an older man: "Diana, the Princess of Wales" . Carol McCain, (1st Mrs) worked in the Reagan White House as an event planner. She had stood by her husband during his captivity in N. Vietnam, never passing word of her debilitating car accident, (more about her... http://www.snopes.com/politics/mccain/carol.asp ) a few years after their reunion, McCain told her, he was leaving her for a younger, richer woman.

POPSObama Supporters, Please Pass This Around. PBS has an online poll posted asking if Sarah Palin is qualified. Apparently the right wing knew about this in advance and are flooding the voting with YES votes. The poll will be reported on PBS and picked up by mainstream media. It can influence undecided voters in swing states. Please do two things -- takes 20 seconds. 1) Click on link and vote yourself. Here's the link: http://www.pbs.org/now/polls/poll-435.html 2) Then send this to every single Obama-Biden voter you know, and urge them to vote and pass it on. The last thing we need is PBS saying their viewers think Sarah Palin is qualified.

POPSThe Obama Babies Barack Obama and Joe Biden will cut taxes for 95% of working families, and provide at least three times as much tax relief for middle class families as John McCain and Sarah Palin. The Obama/Biden plan provides $1,000 of tax relief for workers and new tax benefits to help families pay for college, childcare and save for retirement. AND THE OBAMA BABIES LOVE HIM FOR IT! Follow this link to see your taxes under Obama/Biden and McCain/Palin http://taxcut.barackobama.com/

POPSWhy Are So Many Voters So Easily Fooled? Why Are So Many Voters So Easily Fooled? I've asked myself, that question many times... Of course with no answers. I'm not alone. There are people who posses a worldly depth of knowledge and still wind up scratching their heads in great bewilderment upon seeking an explanation on why people vote against their own personal BEST INTEREST! I've noticed of late, that the progressive TV pundits are now placing these voters in a group calling them, Low Informational Voters. How genteel! See more about this newly coined phrase, here: http://www.freezerbox.com/archive/article.php?id=557 I'm not nearly that refined so I can call a-spade a-spade... LOW INFORMATION VOTER, my foot... It's just the old fashioned, plain old, brown paper wrapping... STUPID, my man! The last paragraph of the freezerbox article above, says it all! (Old adages like "You can lead a horse to water" and "pearls before swine" will provide scant solace. There's only so much you can do when a large segment of the elec

POPSIs There A Skeleton In John McCain's POW closet? Excerpted From The Rolling Stone Magazine: In its broad strokes, McCain's life story is oddly similar to that of the current occupant of the White House. John Sidney McCain III and George Walker Bush both represent the third generation of American dynasties. Both were born into positions of privilege against which they rebelled into mediocrity. Both developed an uncanny social intelligence that allowed them to skate by with a minimum of mental exertion. Both struggled with booze and loutish behavior. At each step, with the aid of their fathers' powerful friends, both failed upward. And both shed their skins as Episcopalian members of the Washington elite to build political careers as self-styled, ranch-inhabiting Westerners who pray to Jesus in their wives' evangelical churches.

POPSHow low can Republicans Go? It's bottomless! I swear these people, the Republican people, who run elections have no soul. I know, sadly, there's enough dirty tricks to go around in all the political persuasions. But the Repubs really know how to pull off the dirtiest of dirty tricks, without blinking an eye! I wonder why that is? Is it because they believe rules and laws are meaningless when it comes to getting their party the winning prize? Or maybe they just have been mentally brainwashed and have become barbarian brutes, due to using, low blows for so long they can't tell RIGHT from WRONG any longer? I believe it's the latter, with also, quite a bit of truth in the former. Read about how they (repubs) wish to use the house addresses of those unfortunate individuals who have had their shelters, their family homes, confiscated by foreclosure, so they would be disqualified from voting because they no longer lived at such address. Calling it disgusting is way too mild.

POPSYOU'VE GOT SNAIL MAIL It looks like the lies, and mudslinging have become a way of life in political circles and campaigns. But of all people to use such tactics, one would imagine, Hillary Clinton could never resort to such dirty tricks. After all the lies that the republican camps had flung her way hoping to smear her husband and herself into obliteration, I would think she would have become a defender of truth. I'm very disappointed with Hillary and Bill's choice to embrace the swiftboater's dirty maneuvers to win an election. If we the people keep listening to known lies and casting our votes for those who sling such lies, we deserve what we get as our leaders. In other words, we deserved George W. Bush and we deserved his efforts to FALL THE USA EMPIRE. Please read: Reasons for the fall of the Roman Empire http://killeenroos.com/1/Romefall.htm and notice the similarities. SCARY STUFF :shock: Click here for fact check: http://www.factcheck.org/elections-2008/youve_got_mailers_1.html

POPSBURGER KING BUSH, STILL HAVING IT HIS WAY! Once again Burger King Bush is having it his way. I came upon that reference and thought "isn't that the old proverbial nail being hit on the head, TRUTH"! Bush and his henchmen MUST HAVE IT THEIR WAY OR IT'S THE HIGHWAY... Like spoiled little children, with no shame, they still continue to HAVE IT THEIR WAY! I have only one question... WHY CAN'T THEY BE STOPPED?

POPSAnother voice of truth has been silenced. There was more sadness experienced this Memorial Day 2007. Besides all the tears shed, remembering those who died in wars and those who have died in this unnecessary Iraq war. Cindy Sheehan, has resigned from the Anti-War Movement. I hope her voice of courage and hope will not be silenced for too long. Cindy, we need you. thinkingblue.blogspot.com
