POPSRepublicans: Crazy, Or Nuts?
Who in their right mind would argue with the observations in this article? More: "The Republican Party has become an aggregation of people who prefer to live in a world of fantasy -- and their first fantasy, the Ur-myth on which the entire conceit rests, is (classically) "we are the realists." "It degrades, into farce and Newspeak, from there. The perpetrators and defenders of the outing of a CIA agent are "patriots." Tom DeLay is a "leader" and Newt Gingrich is a "visionary." The President plays guitar while New Orleans drowns, causes a hundred thousand Americans and Iraqis to be killed or injured, and outsources torture, and it's the Democrats who, per the repellent Ramesh Ponnuru, are the "party of death." "It has gotten so that you have to muster all the compassion and understanding of which you are capable just to think of the Republicans as a party of greedy corporatists manipulating the credulous, the provincial, and the bigoted. That's the nice way of putting it.”

POPSGingrich Had Affair During Clinton Probe
"The president of the United States got in trouble for committing a felony in front of a sitting federal judge," the former Georgia congressman said of Clinton's 1998 House impeachment on perjury and obstruction of justice charges. "I drew a line in my mind that said, 'Even though I run the risk of being deeply embarrassed, and even though at a purely personal level I am not rendering judgment on another human being, as a leader of the government trying to uphold the rule of law, I have no choice except to move forward and say that you cannot accept ... perjury in your highest officials." "There were times when I was praying and when I felt I was doing things that were wrong. But I was still doing them," he said in the interview. "I look back on those as periods of weakness and periods that I'm ... not proud of." Gingrich's congressional career ended in 1998 when he abruptly resigned from Congress and after being reprimanded by the House ethics panel...

POPSSpiegel: George, the Worst, Goodbye. A footnote. "Gingrich, once crowned Time's "Man of the Year," cannot help but be pleased that Americans have welcomed the break with Bush with open arms. Gingrich, who has repeatedly and semi-publicly toyed with the idea of throwing his hat into the presidential race, recommends that his party base its new strategy on turning its back on Bush.

POPSMore Christian Right Lies Newt spews forth lies of Christian persecution to Liberty U graduates. And after being indoctrinated for 4 years they apparently eat it up. Gullibility, it seems, is much easier to teach than rational thought.

POPSSeparation of church and state narrows, thanks to the church If you say you are a "conservative" Christian what are you "conserving?" It is not Scripture which tells us to respect the authorities who are there to protect us, and it is not heritage, for traditions such as baptist trace back to a separation of church and state (see Anabaptist). We are "conserving" our desire for "manifest destiny" at the COST OF our faith, not in the name of it.

POPSHypocrite of the Month Award Folks forget that this scumbag asked his wife, I forget which number, for a divorce while she was in the hospital for cancer. A true paragon of virtue... Does it seem that Americans suffer from amnesia?

POPSRepublican Leader: War on Terror "Phony" Although no fan of Newt Gingrich he hits the spot on this topic. Tired of Bush=Cheney aiding and abetting the terrorists by keeping us dependent on Mid-East oil and Mid-East chaos that keeps its price high and highly profitable for his buddies.

POPSMoyers: Conservatives had their chance and Blew it!
On top of such bungled calamities as Iraq and Katrina… GEORGE W. BUSH: Again I want to thank you all for- and Brownie you're doing a heck of a job. BILL MOYERS: The conservative regime sent spending into the stratosphere…borrowed trillions from the future to pay for their agenda, and rewarded their wealthy base with huge tax cuts. Earmarks and contracts fattened lobbyists on K Street, which Newt Gingrich and Tom DeLay honed into a ruthless shakedown machine exploited by conservative movement stars like Grover Norquist, Ralph Reed, and Jack Abramoff. JACK ABRAMOFF: Senator, I respectfully invoke the privileges previously stated. SEN. KENT CONRAD: And I'd say to you Mr. Abramoff, shame on you. BILL MOYERS: And after crusading for the impeachment of Bill Clinton, conservatives pushing family values turned out to be their own worst enemies. Some of their foot soldiers in politics and the religious right were outed for adultery, stalking Capitol Hill pages, soliciting sex. Be

POPSGingrich warns Republicans of "catastrophic election" Time for a fresh start. May I suggest these sure-fire strategies: TAX CUTS! Blame BIG GUBMINT. Pitch TRICKLE DOWN. How 'bout that WAR ON TARA? How 'bout WE WON'T DO ANYTHING ON HEALTHCARE? Or WE WON'T TALK ABOUT RACE. If those don't bring us to our senses, bring out the deep stuff: WRIGHT! ELITIST! SOCIALIZED MEDICINE! LIBBRUL! Oh my, he's right. All the milk's gone sour.

POPSAnti-Obama Movie On The Way: Citizens United One prominent Citizens United movie is “Celsius 41.11,” which says it tells the “truth behind the lies” of the Michael Moore movie “Fahrenheit 9/11.” Other Citizens United movies are critical of the United Nations, illegal immigration, and the American Civil Liberties Union, while one movie promotes Newt Gingrich and his ideas. The conservative group is also looking to the U.S. Supreme Court for help in advertising the anti-Hillary movie. It is opposing a federal regulation, under the McCain-Feingold Act, requiring that a disclaimer that identifies the group be placed at the end of television ads promoting the movie and criticizing Mrs. Clinton. It is also arguing that it should not have to disclose how much it spent to produce the movie and the ads, nor who contributed to it. The Supreme Court is scheduled to decide next week whether it will hear the case.

POPSTiming is Everything - According to DeLay It may be trite to say this but "you just can't make this stuff up". Apparently there's justification, according to DeLay, for having your adultery planned in advance before you embark on a mission to impeach the president for similar "crimes".

POPSNewt-- Stil Clueless After All These Years Ahhh, Newt Gingrich, the man who gave us the last twelve years of neconservative rule. Now he believes that he is like Lincoln and will be a reluctant cadidate for president in '08. Doesn't he know that Lincoln was a liberal? The people overwhelmingly rejected the neoconservative agenda on Nov. 7th. Newt, don't go away mad, just go away.

POPSDemocrats to be Moderate? Would that this would come true! I just cant see any party actually governing from the center, even if it had to go there to win the elections. How great could it be for our nation, though, if Congress had a centrist view and didn't play up to one extreme or the other. I can dream until the new Congress sits in January...

POPSObama Owns Appeasement Update: Newt Gingrich calls this a study in guilt: Instead, he got volcanically defensive, which suggests that even Obama sees the parallels between his everything’s-on-the-table approach and the Chamberlain diplomacy which resulted in dismantling Czechoslovakia. And if Obama considers discussion of foreign policy “divisive”, then he should hide himself right back to Academia. Guess what, Senator? Presidential elections focus on foreign-policy principles, and if you can’t defend yours, then you have no business running for office.
