POPSZogby ~ Secular Spiritualism the 'New American Dream' Rejecting traditional materialism, the under 30's are global citizens who no longer believe that 'he who dies with the most toys wins'... A growing movement choosing lower wages and feelgood factor over higher wages and the stress of competing in a race that creates only losers (who find out sooner or later that material possessions do not equal happiness, and leave a trail of environmental destruction from all directions). I cant help hoping that America can regain its place as a world leader now it finally seems to be coming to its senses....

POPSObama Falls to 39%, Democrats Support Continues to Slide; Trails Romney, J. Bush & Gingrich in '12
Pollster John Zogby: "0bama lost support among independents more than a year ago. Now, he is failing to please more than one-fourth of his own party’s voters. This is a perilous position for the President. Conventional wisdom calls for him to reach for the center and assume that Democrats will stay with him in 2012. But as we saw in the mid-terms, Democrats can't win without strong turnout from the young and minorities, both of which are demographics that need more motivation than others to vote." The interactive poll consisted of 2,032 likely voters and has a margin of error of +/-2.2%. A sampling of Zogby International's online panel, which is representative of the adult population of the U.S., was invited to participate. Slight weights were added to region, party, age, race, religion, gender, and education to more accurately reflect the population. (11/22/2010) read full article...

POPSObama Gets the Blame for GOP Rout & Union Bosses Be Warned! "Union leaders be warned," he tells Whispers. "You are next." His idea: Hold hearings and ask union leaders why they spent political contributions from union members on candidates the members don't support. "It would give Republicans a unique and unprecedented opportunity to break bread with the union rank and file" while punishing labor bosses, says Luntz. And after unions spent some $53 million on Democrats in the 2010 midterms, which failed to hold off a Republican wave that put the House in GOP hands, Luntz predicts there will be a labor backlash. "They'll ask, 'How did we waste so much of our money? How did we have so little influence?'

POPSDespite What Facebook Says - Teens Want More Privacy Online
"A whopping 92% of teens surveyed believed they should be able to request the deletion of all their personal information held by a search engine, social network, or marketing company. In the age of Google, the idea of removing every scrap of your personal data from the Internet feels like a pipe dream. But the sentiment is clear: Users want more control over their information. About 85% of respondents also said search engines and social networks should be required to get permission before collecting data, and the same percentage said they'd be more likely to read a site's terms and conditions if they were written in shorter or clearer language. (Meanwhile, 45% of teens said they do read terms and conditions-- but does anyone actually believe nearly half of all 15 to 18 year-olds are scanning pages of online legalese?) The poll was commissioned by privacy advocacy non-profit Common Sense Media, which will release the report today in Washington alongside FCC chair Julius Genachowski

POPSObama's growing unpopularity in the Muslim world It goes without saying that the U.S. -- just like any other country -- should not determine its policies based exclusively on what makes it popular in the Muslim world. But a consensus had arisen in the Foreign Policy Community -- and it was certainly a major plank in the Obama campaign -- that multiple U.S. interests (beginning with our ability to deter Terrorism) would be served by improving how the U.S. is viewed in the Muslim and Arab world. That objective is plainly failing, despite how receptive (even eager) people in that region were to change their views about the U.S. in the wake of Obama's election. And whatever else is true, there's no denying that a major impediment to achieving that national objective is our policy toward Israel and especially our tolerance for its unwillingess to make peace the Palestinians.

POPSProgressives Are Ignorant of Economics
Consider one of the economic propositions in the December 2008 poll: "Restrictions on housing development make housing less affordable." People were asked if they: 1) strongly agree; 2) somewhat agree; 3) somewhat disagree; 4) strongly disagree; 5) are not sure. Basic economics acknowledges that whatever redeeming features a restriction may have, it increases the cost of production and exchange, making goods and services less affordable. Therefore, we counted as incorrect responses of "somewhat disagree" and "strongly disagree." This treatment gives leeway for those who think the question is ambiguous or half right and half wrong. They would likely answer "not sure," which we do not count as incorrect. In this case, percentage of conservatives answering incorrectly was 22.3%, very conservatives 17.6% and libertarians 15.7%. But the percentage of progressive/very liberals answering incorrectly was 67.6% and liberals 60.1%. The pattern was not an anomaly.

POPSDems Near Deal On ObamaCare Before Sham "STealth-Care Summit"? with Republicans, as expected. “People want to get rid of health care. They want it off the agenda. The simplest answer is that reconciliation may be the most expedient way to do it.” In other words, instead of bargaining with the GOP from scratch " as Boehner and Cantor initially insisted and as 57 percent of the public wants, per yesterday’s Zogby poll " The One’s going to do the opposite by walking in, pushing a fake deal in front of the GOP, and declaring before the cameras that America’s health-care problems can now be solved unless the “party of no” insists on further obstructionism. And if they do, of course, he’ll have no choice but to save America by ramming the bill through in reconciliation. It’s not a negotiation, in other words, it’s an opportunity to frame a blame-placing narrative in which evil conservatives unite to block some sort of phony legislative deus ex machina. Which makes me wonder: Were Ed and I wrong that the GOP should attend no matter what? ...

POPSThe party of "government" is the end game. Wise up! Will losing the health care battle keep the "Government Party" from growing in strength and power over the electorate? No. Until we vote all of the power-mongers out we will not have a government of the people, by the people and for the people.

POPSWill Americans permit them to get away with this? Why would they advocate reducing emissions to avoid a global warming that is not happening? Why are so many in Congress wedded to this hoax? And will Americans permit them to get away with this? Instead of doing everything possible to encourage energy companies to find and extract the energy reserves the United States requires to function and grow, the White House and Congress is doing everything in its power to restrict energy use.
