POPSAlcee Hastings The "VOTE NO" Congressman Want to know why this old n' used up Congressman voted "NO" on these important issues? It's because Hastings, a Democrat, is being told what to do and say by his REPUBLICAN "Master-Blaster" type Handler & staff member, Mr. Art Kennedy. Go figure! A Re-Thug-Lican telling a Democrat Coruptocrat Congressman what to say and do.

POPS Titanic Economic Menace In the present challenging world economy, such follies, such self-inflicted burdens, have, recalling the words of Benjamin Franklin - “even a small hole can sink a big ship” - , morphed into the iceberg that could well help to hole H.M.S. Britannia below the water-line. Carl Mortished so tellingly reminds us: “... the flow of oil, food and raw materials will shift increasingly towards China and India, rather than towards America and Europe. Life will become more expensive and more difficult for Europeans.” Self-indulgent ‘Green’ trumpery can have no place in the real-world economic battles that lie ahead. This is no computer model, the political party which grasps this truth first, and is then straight and honest with the electorate about the limitations of ‘Green’ policies, will not only improve Britain’s position, but, in the longer run, could well hone its own competitive, political edge as the British public returns to basics.

POPSThe Verdict on Bush's Reganomics: Guilty as Charged
There were those who were critical of Bush's economic policies, who said it would lead to disaster. We were dismissed as not understanding economics. We were accused of being anti-business. Well, a few years later, whaddya know... One of the central tenants of the resurgent Republican Revolution, among the GOP leadership ascendant in the mid-to-late nineties, was the idea that Regan's "trickle-down" economics worked, and that lowering taxes on the rich and encouraging rapacious spending would somehow develop an economy despite nagging social problems in the lower strata. This "well, I guess I feel rich..." approach was a lie everyone wanted to believe, because they didn't want the party to end. Now, though, even before Bush's term is over, we see a stunning economic crisis, for which he has no one to blame but himself, and which was clearly created, gift-wrapped, and delivered with flowers by the GOP's bizarre and destructively delusional view on economics.

POPSSenator McCain by Mark Steyn January 31, 2008
Primary triumph doesn't seem to be doing anything to mitigate the small and graceless side of McCain. On the other hand, John Hinderaker might be on to something here: "Businessmen, in my experience, are generally more idealistic than politicians. Businessmen really do make deals with a handshake. No one would dream of doing that with Harry Reid, Nancy Pelosi or the Clintons. Turning a businessman loose in the political world is basically a mismatch. That's the sense I get of McCain's reaction to having Romney as his last serious rival. He can't believe his good fortune; Romney is an amateur. McCain can poke him in the eye, knee him in the groin, and the rule-following businessman has no idea how to respond" powerline.com Maybe. But, just because McCain can poke Mitt in the eye is no indication he'll be as effective with Putin, a remarkable number of whose enemies wind up splattered on the sidewalk outside their apartment house after opting for....... http://corner.nationa

POPS$$$ = MONEY 101 = $$$
Start listening to Financial radio shows. Not to take every voice on faith but, alternately, to begin learning to weed out the B.S.'ers from the educators and the range in between.The great mysterious machine called the economy has so many variables and you start to see things above and apart from the politically charged blaming and overly simplistic "explanations" and theories. To the extremist types - the radically anti-business - you can get back to learning what makes for good economic function, and dysfunction, and be relieved FINALLY - of the yoke of your political oppositions, freeing you to accept principles your politics may have restricted you from acknowledging. It can be like that WAMU ad where the old bankers are naked and reveling in their new-found freedom. And it works in the philosophical reverse just as easily. The primary goal being to empower those of us who need to remember that there is so much available out there to build our $ future upon. The expectations
