POPSMcCain winning in new poll, follows trend See? If Obama keeps moving towards being like a moderate Repub, he's gonna blow a "no-Brainer" election...typical Democrat not being bold enough to stand up for what he really believes and it's showing...mark my words--if he doesn't change his tune (it may be too late now), he's gonna hand the country to an old, senile fucking war monger...What a country, what a circus!

POPSCall Congress Back to Vote on Drilling August recess?? Forget it! They've stuffed the business of the people for months and are stonewalling even now. Put it up for a vote....or shut up. This has nothing to do with drilling for oil; it has to do with the continuation of the obstructing of this Bush Administration. If it were a Democrat in the Presidency, progress would have already be made.

POPSThe Group Of Eights' Empty Rhetoric With rising gas costs, Americans in a variety of polls have shown by a majority they now want to explore offshore drilling, so this move will be popular among that majority and John McCain has been pushing for it as well. Reported on June 26, 2008, the InsiderAdvantage/Poll, asks "Do you favor or oppose increased exploration and production of oil and natural gas off the coasts of Florida?” Favor (61%) Oppose (32%) No opinion (7%) Rasmussen- June 17, 2008: "67% Support Offshore Drilling, 64% Expect it Will Lower Prices." Zogby- June 26, 2008: "74 percent support offshore oil drilling in U.S."

POPSSWAT raids lose public support I doubt that many would have agreed to them in the first place if they had the facts.Fear is a powerful motivator and police used it to sell these para military raids on often harmless drug users.

POPSNation Agrees Not To Talk About Politics A Zogby International poll conducted last week reflected the country's distaste for political debate. When asked if they preferred the Republican emphasis on national security or the more Democratic commitment to domestic issues, 73 percent of respondents agreed to disagree on the matter and just leave it at that; 16 percent called the topic of Obama versus Clinton "touchy" and not worth talking about if it could offend someone; and 11 percent said that for the sake of everyone having a good, hassle-free year, it is probably best to just let it go and not worry about who the 44th president will be. In addition, nine out of 10 Americans polled stressed that with the dollar's poor performance and record-high gas prices, this is neither the time nor the place to be talking about politics in the first place.

POPSWork place bullying........... Imagine yourself sitting at a conference table and you offer something as a suggestion and someone looks at you and shakes their head every time,” said Joel H. Neuman, director of the center for applied management at the SUNY-New Paltz School of Business. “It can be damaging to be constantly dismissed in front of your peers,” Dr. Neuman said. “The thing that is upsetting about it is that people come to expect it and say, ‘Well, this is what it’s like around here.’ It shouldn’t be part of the culture, but often it is.

POPSEvangelicals Are Polling Democratic I'd like to think that they began to realize that rather than driving the bus, they were the cattle on-board on their way to the slaughter. Not sure that I do, however.

POPSZogby on GOP Candidates, Ron Paul Will Exceed Expectations Giuliani is sinking. Fred is strolling, not running. Romney spending a ton of money in early states. The Huckster is fooling naive conservatives (hiding his record on increasing taxes more than Clinton in Arkansas). Zogby says Ron Paul will exceed expectations, beat some "front runners" in Iowa, do well in New Hampshire, while his message continues to grow, and his free market economic message comes at no better time when the country is beginning to succumb to the inevitable consequences of massive government spending under a republican administration.

POPSGiuliani and Fred Thompson Sliding in Iowa Fred Thompson has completely failed to attract any consistent strong support. He was more popular before he officially came out to "run", which many have called a "stroll" for the presidency. Giuliani's record and ties with corrupt friends is causing others to step away. His anti-gun record is horrible, which in the end will cost him any chance of winning. Romney, Giuliani, and Thompson are ALL members of the Council on Foreign Relations (CFR) which pushes a global socialist agenda and a North American Union, largely under the influence and founder David Rockefeller.

POPSFred Thompson Knocked Out in NH, Ron Paul Gaining Ron Paul is ahead of Fred Thompson and Mike Huckabee. Reading the fine print from Zogby shows the margin of error is up to 5 percent, which makes the entire status up in the air other than Romney. Ron Paul voters also are not represented by typical poll skewing toward land lines. It's early still, but trends are emerging. Romney will not maintain this high lead as advertising kicks in and more about him is known (i.e. CFR member, signed socialist mandatory health insurance bill in Mass). Fred Thompson might mosy out like he mosied in--last. (He did not show up for their debate, which was great offense to NH).
