POPSConservative Bloggers Poised to Progress The Republican Party may still be licking its wounds, but conservative bloggers, pointing to recent history of their counterparts on the left, are licking their chops. As Democrats entered the political wilderness earlier this century, liberal sites like www.dailykos.com and others thrived. “I suspect within the next four years," says Erick Erickson of www.redstate.com, "the left is going to be surprised at how well the right progresses and develops online.”

POPSThe Republican Party Must Change, and the Nation Too Republicans have put Party and Power over Principles they used to stand for, namely "individual liberty" and "limited government". The lone voice once mocked by the GOP elite RINOs (and the CFR primary Candidates) now gives a lesson on what's wrong with republicans and the nation's government. (Actually, it was Republicans, under Lincoln, that first expanded and centralized the power of the federal government and started the same unjust wars as engaged in now, invading and burning the Southern states and cities! Overthrowing the Constitution has been their forte'. Democrats used to be "Dixie-crats" until they changed too). Neither does he spare Obama: Since the new alignment of political power offers no real change, we will remain on the same track without even a pretense of slowing the growth of government. With the new administration we can expect things to go from bad to worse.

POPSElection Night Timetable 10 p.m.: Voting ends in GOP-held, Iowa, Montana and Nevada, a combined 15 votes. Losing these would be a setback for McCain, while winning them would be a boon for Obama. Utah's five votes are a certainty for McCain. • 11 p.m.: Four states — mega-prize California, Hawaii, Oregon and Washington — are expected to quickly give Obama a combined 77 votes, while Idaho is expected to award its four votes to McCain. • 1 a.m.: Capping off the night is Alaska, where GOP vice presidential nominee Sarah Palin is governor. The Republican ticket is a shoo-in for those three votes. And then it's over. Or not.

POPSEyes on St Louis for GOP vote suppression The Democratic metro area largely controlled by Republican state officials, does everything it can to slow voting, make long lines, prevent polls from opening on time or staying open late.

POPSMore McCain Blame: The Circular Firing Squar http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fwHO8C8hmSU&feature=related These guys are just disgusting, disloyal and dissolute. Even noted Republicans like Karl Rove (a corrupt Bush campaign boss) and Newt Gringich, once a boss in the Republican Congress. Nobody wants to go down with the ship. It seems like they also want to show how smart they are by being the first to point out the flaws. They have no integrity, no loyality. It would have been horrible to have them remain in power. If we keep kicking them around for another week this defeat should be a done deal. Amen.

POPS GOP Draws Internal Battle Lines Around Sarah Palin CONT'D: "If I read this right, the GOP is set splinter into a trio of factions: the Palin-philes, the Romney remainders, and those excommunicated from the movement for daring to make a lick of sense at one point. Fitting isn't it, that a McCain loss might precipitate his party coming to resemble the factionalism of the Iraqi misadventure they all cooked up in the first place."

POPSRepublican email links Obama to 2nd Holocaust
A Republican campaign strategist sent this out to 75,000 Jewish voters in Pennsylvania. He's been fired. The Party leaders "disavow," it. A related item is Amazon.com has an Obama mask for sale. They tagged - they listed it on their "terrorist costume," page. (See: http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/washington/2008/10/obama-terrorist.html Democratic VP candidate Joe Biden was on a Sunday Talk Show and he was read a quote from Karl Marx's and asked if this was "the Obama economic plan."

POPSPraying For Palin "Perhaps there are some here who also sense that what's being lost is more than just a single election. The fact that the GOP ticket is trailing behind despite the addition of Palin clearly proves that while conservative Christians may be a formidable force in American politics, they can't elect a president by themselves. The right-wing evangelicals won in previous years because they joined a Republican coalition that also included hawkish neocons, working-class "Reagan Democrats," libertarians, and old-fashioned fiscal conservatives. And some of those groups have clearly had enough. They are departing the flock in disgust with the Republican Party, which could leave the GOP ever more dependent on the Christian right. "

POPSWill the "Real" America Please Stand Up. "When we act, we create our own reality," a "senior Bush advisor" (assumed to be Karl Rove) told journalist Ron Suskind in 2002, and this became the administration's version of a game plan. Thus Donald Rumsfeld's conviction -- shared by McCain -- that we would be "greeted as liberators" in Iraq. For GOP leaders, the Iraq that erupted into a violent insurgency just wasn't the "real" Iraq. Our culture was built by immigrants and shaped by wars, social upheavals, economic crises and further rounds of immigration, each time from places that seemed deeply "foreign" to those who had already settled in. Each round of change was painful to those used to the temporary status quo -- but each round of change also gave us a richer, stronger nation. That's the real America: a land of change and perpetual renewal. Let's stand up for it.

POPSDemocrats are Worried Have you ever watched a baseball game where every time the announcer says a good thing about your team or player you spend the next ten minutes spitting, throwing salt over your shoulder, knocking on every available piece of wood and crossing all available appendages? That's how the Democrats feel right now. It ain't over.....

POPS“I’m not giving tax cuts for the rich.” “I feel very strongly that we ought to have middle-income and lower-income tax cuts, and we’ll be getting into it, I’m sure, later on in this program. Mine are basically comparable to Gov. Bush’s, in some cases far better. But I’m not sure we need to give two-thirds of that tax cut, of that money, to the wealthiest 10% of America.” —Michigan Republican Debate, Jan. 11, 2000. 3. “I always thought that class warfare was to take away from the rich. I always believed that that was what class warfare was all about. As I said, there are tax breaks and money for the richest in America and the very rich, but I think that it’s clear that there’s a growing gap between rich and poor in America, the haves and the have-nots. And many studies have indicated that, and I think that the people who need it most and need the relief most are working middle-income Americans and that’s what I want to give to them.
