POPSThe Open House Party at the White House Luaus, Superbowl parties, salsa dancing, dunking booth, golf outings, movies with the 3d glasses, breathless plane trips to dinner, Beverly Hills, hula-hooping....wtf? Oprah and Clooney. Fergie and the Easter bunny.... The economy crumbles while the White House parties their ass off. Ridiculous and embarrassing. And the Democrats say they best represent the common man, Joe Sixpack? Please. The common man is in bankruptcy or being foreclosed on and working day in and day out. The is a bleeping travesty.

POPSShredding the clunkers Clunker FAIL - throws the poor under the bus. It artificially inflates the value of all used cars — owners will find themselves asking “do I want to try to sell this perfectly-good car for at least $5,000 to someone who needs it, or should I let it get destroyed for a $4,500 credit?” In essence, the bill will boost the minimum value of many used cars to $4,500 — out of the reach of many people in need of transportation. But that won’t matter. We’ll have gotten a bunch of “gas guzzlers” off the road, preventing them from consuming valuable resources and polluting our air. As for the poor… ? Why do I need to ask that question? Aren't the Democrats the party the best serves the needs of the common man, ya know, Joe Sixpack. Or the common man like Ben Affleck....I forget. When you put environmental concerns and other nonsense ahead of the hard-working American, I find it hard to believe the Democrats are serving the people that they say they so adequately represent.

POPSCapTrade shows ObamaDems have turned their backs on the poor ObamaDems' differing goals and definitions for helping little guys and working people? "President Obama and the Democrats claim to favor the poor as they decry the suffering of the poor. As a Democrat of 18 years, so did I. In fact, I cared so much that I left the Dem Party in 2000 convinced by two decades of evidence before my eyes that the policies democrats pursue are proven failures at alleviating the suffering of the poor." "I assumed that the suffering we all alluded to was peoples' inability to afford necessities via the fruits of the labor and have an opportunity for moving up the economic ladder or for the middle class to increase their wealth and prosperity over time." "Over time it became increasingly difficult to maintain the notion that Democratic Party leaders shared the same definition. After the Cap and Trade vote it is impossible. "

POPSTax increases not such a great idea afterall, Duh.
With the Empire State’s budget deficit now projected to exceed $15 billion —in the face of a constitutional requirement to balance the state budget — New York lawmakers are fighting a five-alarm fiscal fire. But rather than slash billions in wasteful spending (not long ago, the state’s chief Medicaid investigator estimated that 40 percent of New York’s Medicaid spending — about $20 billion annually — was fraudulent or “questionable”), the state’s political class remains committed to raising taxes. And this time, they’ve trained their sights not on the barons of Wall Street but on Joe Sixpack. Gov. David Paterson (D.) has drawn up a laundry list of 137 tax increases that target the creature comforts enjoyed by ordinary New Yorkers. Included are new or increased taxes on soft drinks, malt beverages, beer, wine, cigars, cable television service, music downloads, and — most unthinkable of all — a new tax on Knicks tickets. “If anybody’s contemplating leaving the state of New York,”

POPSThe real Americans It seems her #1 job is to continue the illusion that the ultimate elitist party, the party of CEO and wall street fat cats is really the party of average America disparagingly cast as Joe and Jane six pack, too ignorant and uneducated to notice the phoniness. Ignore the 100000000 bank account, 10 homes and 13 cars, McCain represents the working American. What a crock of sh**!!

POPSThe VP Debate
"When it came to domestic issues, Ms. Palin mainly relied on enthusiasm and humor, talking about hockey moms, soccer moms and Joe Sixpack almost as often as she used the word “maverick” to describe Mr. McCain or herself. But she offered virtually no detail — beyond the Republican mantra of tax cuts — for how she and Mr. McCain would address the financial crisis or help Americans avoid foreclosure or what programs they would cut because of the country’s disastrous fiscal problems. Ms. Palin’s primary tactic was simply to repeat the same thing over and over: John McCain is a maverick. So is she. To stay on that course, she had to indulge in some wildly circular logic: America does not want another Washington insider. They want Mr. McCain (who has been in Congress for nearly 26 years). Ms. Palin condemned Wall Street greed and said she and Mr. McCain would “demand” strict oversight. In virtually the next breath, she said government should “get out of the way” of American business."

POPSShould the People Decide? If we are to define morality as the "social intelligence" of a people (rather than beliefs held by a specific religion or doctrine,) should a society be granted the ability to decide these "constitutional issues" based on the "morals" of its majority? Supreme Court Justice Scalia had this to say... "Anyone who thinks the country's most prominent lawyers reflect the views of the people needs a reality check," What are your thoughts?
