POPSIncredible RNC Speeches of Huckabee, Giuliani, and Palin Well, they were "incredible"! That desk story was sent to me in an e-mail 6 years ago! Giuliani amazed me, I thought he was only able to say 9-1-1, good for him, he is progressing, I always thought he was more the progressive than he let on this past year or so, seriously look back at his positions prior to the race for the white house. As for Palin, she makes for good tabloid fodder, not much else, she seems a lot more likely to fit in on the Springer show than Oprah, so...

POPSIraq Reacts to US Spying Allegationby
Wisco Yesterday 5:22 PM Is there anyone the Bush administration isn't spying on? This reminds me of the time they spied on diplomats at the UN . These people are seriously and dangerously paranoid. Then, as now, the spying caused more problems than it solved. This is pretty much the definition of a disorder.

POPSBush Wants $1 Billion to Georgia for Attacking South Ossetia The NYT finally admits that Georgia was the aggressor: "fighting that began on the night of Aug. 7 when Georgia tried to establish control over a breakaway region, South Ossetia, only to be driven back by Russian forces". And to put that $1 billion figure in perspective the articles says: The aid would dwarf the $63 million the United States provided to Georgia last year, roughly a third of it for training its soldiers, police officers and border guards. Excluding Iraq, the infusion would make Georgia one of the largest recipients of American foreign aid after Israel and Egypt. That Dick Cheney was "sent" by Bush is indicative of the neocon agenda. Georgia did not attack without US or Israeli knowledge, but with their full support. So in essence, the US is to pay $1billion to Georgia for a defeated military invasion and attempt to capture South Ossetia--i.e. for a proxy war.

POPSMcCain Hopes Amnesia Will Get Him Elected.
The American people would have toforget the last eight years to elect McCain and they would have to fall once again for the politics of divide and conquer, the politics of personal destruction rather than a politics that looks at facts and future plans. McCain has been part of the problem and now he's going to go in a fix it all? What a joke. The Republicans are FEMA. The Republicans are a still devasted New Orleans. The Republicans are stealing billions of dollars from taxpayers and putting profit into the pockets of Wall Street bankers. (maybe even TRILLIONS, with this latest bailout of failed mortgage companies Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac). The Republicans have led us into a war losing 4,000,plus of our own troops and now probably having killed 500,000 Iraqi's or more, cost us more billions (and maybe TRILLIONS) -- and this is for facts we now know are not true...Iraq had no connection to 9/11 and no WMD's But, forget all that. Amnesia. Vote for McCain. He has Alzheimer'

POPSRNC: Secret Service Shakes Down Ron Paul Delegates This is the neo-republican convention where fascism is evident as if McCain is President and the 1st amendment does not exist. See what we mean about the change in the Republican Party? “You can’t bring that in here, this is Mc Cain territory” -- RNC Security Meanwhile the background music at some point is probably playing (like on Sean Hannity), "Let Freedom Ring...."

POPSUSA Running out of Money to build roads/bridges
I realize economic issues don't have the drama of war but the way Wall Street & Congress has recently transferred TRILLIONS of dollars of debt to the government is astounding. Wall St. & Congress have risked as much taxpayers money that could have paid for 16 years of *@#$%-over Iraq. Now we can't pay to build or repair our own roads and bridges. Be sure to notice the clear statement: "Until Friday the White House has been hostile to it." (i.e. hostile to the approval of money for roads and bridges,) --- because already Bush is trying to blame it on the Democrats. For God's sake, could there be anything more basic to provide for a nation? Bridges are collapsing. New Orleans is still not rebuilt three years later. Joblessness hits a 5-year high. Wall St. transfers trillions of dollars of bad debt to the government, we're guilty of torture and other war crimes, we've murdered maybe half-a-million Iraqi who had nothing to do with 9/11 or WMD's. bin Laden is still alive an

POPSRunning Against Themselves "Mr. McCain says he is the candidate who will better protect the country from terrorism. But about all he has to offer is his pledge to continue the war in Iraq. We have yet to hear an explanation for how he plans to do that while also salvaging the war in Afghanistan — the real front line in the war against Al Qaeda and the Taliban."

POPSA Swarm of Lobbyists Would Run McCain's White House Except that it was a crock. Here's the hilarious part: the announcement was made by the top campaign staffer, Rick Davis. Guess what he is. A lobbyist! His clients range from such telecom giants as Verizon to undies-maker Fruit of the Loom, and most have had business before McCain's Senate committees.

POPSNuclear Deal With India Not so fast! New Zealand, Switzerland, Austria, Ireland, Norway, Netherlands are among those who see the need to curb the Nuclear Expansion. America must see the deal for what it is: More Danger and More Nuclear Weapons in a world that needs Alternatives.

POPSGustav Forces 'Substantial' Changes to RNC Making lemonade from meteorological lemons. Bush and Cheney were both big problems for the RNC this year, being about as popular as athlete's foot. People will be glad to see them elsewhere. The telethon idea reminds me of the blood donor bit from Primary Colors . Still, Gustav demonstrates how sadly unprepared we still are -- there are still people living in FEMA trailers . Let's hope everything goes well for the Gulf States.

POPSBush has been "falsely" Accused? As if Bush's energy politics have helped any. Failed policies for 8 solid years. No cars made in America with better gas miles, no solar industry compared to the level we should be, no wind, only hot air from the rear

POPSHail Mary! By her social agenda alone she should scare the pants off any thinking voter. By her own words, an avowed Creationist, anti-science fundamentalist, and she denies global warming is man-made. I didn't know that GWB had a sister!

POPSPalin: You're no Hillary Clinton John McCain has gone from maverick to "me too" -- trying to out-Democrat the Democrats and pick up some Hillary voters. But it ain't working. ~ Van Jones
