POPSCrowds Mob White House, Time Square, Chicago, MLK's Church, Streets
When I saw the TV spot of a mob surrounding a car on the street I had the thought/memory of some riot, the mob shaking the car, overturning it, pulling out the driver and beating them (the past). What was going on? -- The woman in the car came upon the cheering crowd, her own joy exploded, she stopped the car, got out, started singing -- the crowd gathered around her and all sang on the street. Thousand spontaneously streamed to the White House, waved flags, pressed against the gates and lustily chanted: "Yes, we can! Yes, we can!" NOBODY alive has every seen anything like this. MLK's church in Georgia - thousands gathered inside and when the news of victory was announced a chanting a roar went up so strong is could have blown off the roof. Sort of like a World Cup Victory Celebration --- except that is was 4828 kilometers long. (or something like that) P.S. This slideshow on this page, 38 pics, is my favorite. Jubilation is what it was, and I've never used that wo

POPSOut-Of-State Students Working With "Vote For Change" An entire houseful of young, non-Ohioan Democrat activists have used the Brownlee Avenue address to register themselves to vote in the Buckeye State and secure absentee ballots under extremely shady circumstances — all while mobilizing a large effort to register thousands of others for absentee and early voting. The activists are leaders of a group called “Vote From Home ‘08.” The group is self-identified as having “extensive experience with political organizing, election administration, and Democratic politics.” They were hailed as the “Justice League” by a Daily Kos blogger. My friends at Palestra.net, a network of young reporters who have been doing the voter and registration fraud reporting that the MSM has been slow to do, have a breaking investigative report on how several members of the Democrat Vote From Home team — all Rhodes, Marshall, Fulbright, and Truman Scholars studying abroad. http://www.palestra.net/

POPSMcCain pushes $300 billion mortgage plan I def. think he is Fracking high on something. First, this "plan" would piss off a lot of people who bought houses they could afford and would then watch others who bought houses they could not afford (granted given bad advice/loans) and have taxpayers bail them out so they can stay in homes they really should not be in, in the first place. If there had been oversight in the govt and better regulation, none of these people would be in the situation they are in because it would have been a crime for these douche bag mortgage brokers and others to pitch them and give them the loans. So now this guy wants to take another $300 billion on top of the almost trillion the tax payers have already put into this mess. What a fracking idiot.

POPSMedia Still Hasn't Told America Who Obama Really Is My viscera knows who this cat is... and a good indication is his televised Freudian slip when he looks in the camera and without flinching says "...my muslim faith..." This bird is an al Qaeda sleeper cell and a Trojan Horse aimed at destroying our Nation.

POPSWhat Rich Conservatives Want Carly Fiorina's statements were only gaffe's in that they lifted the curtain to show the wizard. As evidenced by Carly her comments, the conservative elite actually hold the government in very, very low regard. It is their position that the role of government is to be punks, to be puppets, stooges. She clearly states that NONE of those running for the president of the United States of America are capable of running a corporation. This is what she believes. And, I think this is what the conservative elite believes. They believe that they are the engine that makes the world go round. They believe that the roll of the government is to let them do what they do, how they what to do it and when they want to do it. As I write this I am realizing it is not even a very radical statement. Carly Fiorina's statements were only gaffe's in that they lifted the curtain to show the wizard.

POPSGod Ditches the GOP I could barely clip enough of this excellent, humourous and right-on column for our forum. I hope y'all will take the time to read the entire piece. It is well worth the effort.

POPSMost wet behind the ears, Sarah Palin 4 President I am still in a state of shock over McCain's pick for a running mate. On the Internet there is a site (http://www.inews3.com/landing.php) where you can put in your own name for President and a propaganda video will appear announcing you or anyone you choose, as a candidate for president of the USA. Using Sarah Palin name is as apropos as any Jane/John Schmo. Holy cow, haven't we had enough of the PETER PRINCIPAL ("In a Hierarchy Every Employee Tends to Rise to His Level of Incompetence.") in the oval office? Goes to show what McCain really cares about... AND IT AIN'T "WE THE PEOPLE"! thinkingblue

POPSRepublicans Spread Message of Democrats’ Disunity
Because of the Republican offensive, senior advisers to Obama and Clinton were furiously trying to extinguish constant reports of party unrest Monday morning before the convention had even officially begun. The RNC and the McCain campaign have already launched an ad entitled "Debra" that features one such disaffected Clinton supporter who says she is supporting McCain. In the ad, Wisconsin delegate Debra Bartosevich says that the New York senator has "the experience and the judgment to be president." "Now, in a first for me, I'm supporting a Republican, John McCain," Bartosevich says. “I respect his maverick and independent streak, and now he's the one with the experience and judgment. A lot of Democrats will vote McCain. It's OK, really." Monday night, the GOP was hosting a "Happy Hour for Hillary" in downtown Denver, and earlier in the day, the Republicans released their first of the week's daily "Not Ready '08" memos — this one titled "A Party Divided."

POPS'Obama Sued in Philadelphia Federal Court' "If", and that's a BIG IF, this isn't all some kind of hoax or a simple case of the Obama campaign not having provided the correct information or certificate, or there's some other legitimate explanation, all hell is about to break out in the Obama campaign and Hillary Clinton will have pulled off a hell of a coup! Update; Factcheck.org (owned by The Annenberg Foundation) has a new birth certificate story. As Texasdarlin suggests in her post, this is interesting timing since Obama has just returned from Hawaii. Indeed, what a coincidence that it's today! Update on Federal Lawsuit (Things may be getting more interesting) (As TD suggests, are there links worth investigating between the Barack Obama campaign, William Ayres, the Annenbergs, and ACORN.)

POPSThe Most Important Story So Far This Month I join you in your anger, disgust and dismay. I'ts the best news corporate can buy! (0.00 / 0) Between this story and the Matthew McConaughey placenta spectacular, I thank God I've lived long enough to remember what journalism used to be. Including the status of our servicemen and women, there are so many issues to be tackled and this...is the best that media can come up with? I'm too flustered to read more than the headlines of this swill. Specifically gave up on network television news 2 years ago...is print next?

POPSParis To "White-Haired Dude" --- "What Ever" Most astonishing of all, Big Media (the broadcast and cable networks, The Associated Press and major newspapers) continue their near-total blackout of reporting on a story that broke in the National Enquirer on July 22, well before we went on vacation -- where the tabloid's reporters and a photographer staked out a Los Angeles hotel where former Democratic presidential candidate John Edwards allegedly visited his rumored mistress. You can read or hear all about it in the British press, online bloggers, Internet Web sites (including the Huffington Post and most exhaustively on Mickey Kaus' blog), the usual right-wing radio suspects. Even late night comics like Jay Leno are starting to joke about it. But don't expect a word of it to pass the lips of Brian Williams, Charlie Gibson or Katie Couric.

POPSObama's "Lazy Boy" Cabin of his 757 For someone who couldn't actually 'win' his primary election, this guy surely does not have a problem being called 'President". Check out the third picture of 'President' Obama's throne. I for one am growing way tired of all the money being spent to buy this Presidency. I think it is time that 'We the people' actually think about taking back this country from all the millionaire special interest groups.

POPSThis Is So Much More "Changier" I mean Barack H. Obama is doing some pretty wacky things on this tour. Sitting in Head of state chairs, negotiating foreign policy, utilizing terrorist organizations for security, issuing dress code to the paparazzi, I mean media, hehe, speaking from historic monuments in Germany, all as if he were the actual POTUS? But this must be the best (Worst) thing yet! Of course I hedge that bet as we are only into day two, so we do have some more fun in store I'm sure. That being said, it seems our Jr Senator has decided to remove the US flag and insignia from the US aircraft he is using and opted instead for the logo for his 08 campaign? Maybe this wouldn't be such a big deal if it were not for the fact that he is on a US taxpayer excursion!
