Did you all hear the comment made on FOX, before the speech, saying that if they wanted to try to unite the party, why not have the speech in a place like WV or KY where Hillary won big. It was then said that BHO didn’t want to do that. So, does that sill sound like BHO wanting to diss us voters in WV and KY?? I believe so!! We see NHO for the snake that he is!!

#41 Firebelle Puma on 06.27.08 at 2:31 pm

Dear Pumas,

I know this is long, and I’ve posted many of these thoughts before. However, here’s the letter I just emailed to Hillary (with copies to Dean, Pelosi, Brazile, and Obama). Enjoy …

*******************

Dear Hillary,

You are a woman of amazing strength and grace to join with Senator Obama and speak on his behalf. However, there’s nothing you could say that would make me vote for him.

Once upon a time, I would have voted for Senator Obama if you had asked me to. Not anymore. Not after what I’ve seen in the last few months. Instead, I join with other PUMA PAC members in actively working to defeat Senator Obama.

Each Puma has different reasons for voting against him. Many will do so in protest for the way you were treated during the primaries. Many will do so in protest for the disenfranchisement and for the unconscionable way in which the DNC conducted itself. All will do so because we don’t believe that Senator Obama is right for our country.

In the interest of keeping my email brief, I will cite only my top two reasons. Understand, however, that there are many more.

My feelings about Senator Obama changed dramatically when the Reverend Wright story broke. I don’t believe that Senator Obama could spend 20 years in that church without embracing the hateful, poisonous attitudes of Reverend Wright. Those same hateful, poisonous attitudes dominate the blog posts from Obama supporters. When I see the hatred and violence that Senator Obama inspires in his followers, I can only conclude that an Obama presidency would be dangerous for our nation and the world. No matter what you say to praise your former rival, I see him as a very evil man.

Beyond that, I’m turned off by Senator Obama’s increasingly dismissive attitude. Refusing to do additional debates with you when voters still wanted to hear debates was dismissive of you and voters everywhere. Refusing to insist that Florida and Michigan delegates be seated in full was dismissive, not only to voters in those two states, but to voters everywhere. Refusing to accept John McCain’s invitation for weekly town hall meetings is dismissive. Voters want to hear those debates, and we’re entitled to them. Even Senator Obama’s refusal to accompany John McCain to Iraq to see conditions firsthand is dismissive.

What this says to me is that a President Obama will be dismissive of everyone and everything that doesn’t serve his immediate interests. That’s unacceptable. We’ve had that from President Bush for the last eight years. I don’t want it anymore.

I want to expand on the issue of weekly town hall meetings with John McCain, because for me it’s a very telling one. How many times during the primary season did Senator Obama say, “I welcome that debate with John McCain”? So why does he now do everything possible to avoid the weekly town hall meetings Senator McCain keeps asking for?

Here’s what Senator Obama’s actions say to me:

• Senator Obama is not a man of his word.

• Senator Obama does not respect voters who very much want to hear both candidates discuss the issues. Nor does he respect leaders in other countries who also want to hear both candidates discuss the issues.

• Senator Obama is not a man who can or will reach across the aisle as he has repeatedly promised to do. If he intended to reach across the aisle, he’d be doing it now every chance he could.

• Senator Obama is afraid that Senator McCain will expose the lack of substance behind his rhetoric.

• Senator Obama isn’t confident enough about the issues to speak without a teleprompter or the scripted words of his speech writers.

• Senator Obama doesn’t believe in transparency in government.

• If Senator Obama were to become President, he would repeatedly shy away from difficult discussions and uncomfortable topics. So, too, would he avoid talking with other world leaders unless they fall in line behind everything Senator Obama says.

You, dear Hillary, would never shy away from an invitation to do these weekly debates with Senator McCain, because you are a woman substance and good character. Senator Obama will never measure up to you, no matter how long he remains in politics.

On policy issues, I’m more closely aligned with Democrats than I am with Republicans. But I cannot in good conscience vote for a man of such bad character. If you are not our nominee, I will vote for John McCain in November. It’s not a happy choice, but it’s the only appropriate one.

#56 wontbackdown on 06.27.08 at 2:37 pm

#38 Taffy… it is no accident that they picked an evenly distributed delegate state to do this.

They did not want to risk the first “Unity” appearance in a larger metropolitan area with a potentially lower turn-out and much more “radical” voices in opposition of the disinfranchisement issues.

They are playing it safe for the moment and that is because Voter dissatification if higher than the media and DNPs pundits are acknowledging.

#57 TXPuma on 06.27.08 at 2:37 pm

I love it when she references Bill’s 8 years. Bill and Hillary Clinton should be the “Darlings” of the Democratic Party not tossed under the the BO bus!!

I will never get the DNC’s thought process for not supporting her as she is light years more qualified than BHO.

You’re not part of the ‘57 state stretegy’ because you see… you’re all clearly just a bunch of “bitter” “racists” and would never vote for *61 anyway. He does not need you, so he shall not waste his time. Doesn’t that just make you feel all warm and fuzzy toward this guy? BO is a loser and we’ll prove that part of him right come November!

I still can’t beleive all of you are focusing on your feelings and not on the legal issues involved.

Since, PUMA is collecting money, why not force the Obama birth certificate and constitutional issues in Florida and Michigan?

Feelings are fine, but legal issues are all you have left to work with now.

This may be the first time I have posted here. But have been lurking for a while.
First, thank you, Murphy, for having the passion to develop and host this sight. After being a Marshan, I needed a new home.
I have been a lifelong Democrat since I worked for and voted for McGovern.
I have now left the party, and will be voting for McCain.

I will never vote for Obama. I cannot be cajoled, coerced, intimidated, shamed, flattered, bought or in any other context, forced to give him my vote.

I pray that a miracle happens and Hillary becomes the nominee, but barring that, I will work for McCain, and wait for Hillary in 2012.

Thank you, Murphy, and thank you, PUMAs.

Just saw this on TMZ. Too funny!

Obama to Scarlett — It’s Not Me, It’s You
Posted Jun 26th 2008 3:10PM by TMZ Staff

Scarlett Johanssen loves Barack Obama — like, moony and gushy loves Obama. But — like her singing talent — it’s all in her head, apparently.

Johansson has been telling anyone who would listen that she has a furious email and phone relationship with the Democratic nominee and even that she’s “engaged” to him. (That’s probably news to Ryan Reynolds.) But as the National Review reports, Barack just revealed that he’s only gotten one email Scarlett — and it came through his assistant.

“I write saying, ‘thank you Scarlett for doing what you do,’ and suddenly we have this email relationship,” said Obama.

I believe Hillary was out of body. Her sightline was “up and over”. She was composed in her body language, ie beauty queen smile, and clasped hands. I attended a small gathering of lawyers shortly after the “M Story” broke and she was exactly the same. This is disciplined composure.

I think the only way to rescue her from this humiliation is to thumb our nose at Obama’s money machine and pay off that debt. The faster we do it, the more dismissive Hillary supporters can be of Obama.

I truly believe the SD will abandon him like moldy bread if we give them an out. Most have got to know he is a disaster in the making

#88 Your northern neighbour on 06.27.08 at 2:46 pm

I was looking for some sort of apologies from Obama to Hillary but he proved that he was not man enough to so. It is just not in his character at all. It was so shameful that he kept repeating Hillary’s ideas on stage in order to link himself to her, and that has been how he claimed to have similar policy as Hillary all along.
We need to bring democracy back into the party and to hold DNC accountable for what it has done.
Country before Party, No Obama.

I agree with #44 alohapuma that Hillary still can be the nominee, but we have to do our part smartly.

And we have more than legal issues to work with, we have SD’s who have not yet committed, we have SD’s who have committed to Hillary.

We have the head people of this PUMA Pac dedicated to ensuring the Democratic party takes note of the actions members here are doing.

#95 shazam4hillary on 06.27.08 at 2:48 pm

Regarding #45 alohapuma, I agree Hillary can still be nominated. That’s what this movement is all about for me (and even if she isn’t nominated, I have to follow through and protest the vote or risk another movement like this in the future not being taken seriously — and I don’t want my vote to be a lie). In any case, there’s a lot of time between now and the convention, a lot can happen and the superdelegates may realize it’d really be better to nominate the better candidate (the rest of the delegates need to follow the rules, or rules mean nothing).

I take it that recent posts are “upstairs.” I left a post “downstairs” apparently at the same time Murphy opened up a new “upstairs” here. I don’t want to repeat everything I said, but if you have a moment, go back toward the end for my comment on two matters: LGBT/Human Rights Campaigh Fund and being positive.

#99 firechief on 06.27.08 at 2:49 pm

My take on this event is that after putting them up there side by side, speaking one after the other, sheeesh, if there is any doubt left in anyone’s mind, she is clearly the truly presidential one….(hello america! wake up!)

…and holy smokes, I could also see the panic in BO’s eyes while Hillary was speaking, as if he were thinking to himself, “Geez I am up sh** creek without a paddle. I need her more than I realized.”

That was the body language I saw. Hers was all about her well-earned power, natural confidence, and the pure joy of knowing who she really is….his was nowhere near that category.

If we don’t have a Hail Mary Hillary Miracle in Denver, then BO would be crazy not to put her on the ticket.

#100 Kempion on 06.27.08 at 2:49 pm

Murphy, I support Clinton because of my faith in our Constitution. I don’t care for her politics anymore than I care about McCain’s. I am anti-partisan.

While PUMA seeks to unite the Democratic Party, I seek to unite our COUNTRY. While our Constitution is under attack from BOTH parties, we will not be united.

I support PUMA in your support of Clinton and PUMA’s stance against the DNC. If there were a Republican version of PUMA, I would support them as well.

I am here to defend our Constitution. :)

There are a lot of things happening behind the scenes, and some very big fundraisers, and influential people still working very hard for her. do not give up….the more he is out there, the more foolish he looks. If you really look at this…it is he who needs Hillary and us…this would not be happening if it weren’t so. He would not be giving her the time of day….
Just brush your shoulders off…stamp that devil under your feet…and let’s get back to work for Hillary.

#64 Kempion

Many people ARE focused on the legal issues, as you’ll readily see if you go back through previous threads. However, lots of folks need to vent this morning in response to the speech in Unity.

Having said that, however, I personally believe that the issues you raised (Obama’s birth certificate and the disenfranchisement in Florida and Michigan) are dead issues. The DNC has repeatedly shown that it doesn’t care about these things. And our government will always find ways to get around these legal “inconveniences.”

I believe we need to move forward and find other avenues of attack. That’s why I keep pushing the debate issue. I may be wrong, but I think the most effective approach will be to keep showing how weak Obama is against McCain … and to do it strong and hard before the Denver convention. We don’t really want McCain as our President. But we can’t have Hillary as an option unless Obama self-destructs in the next two months.

#112 go_Ohio_Lady on 06.27.08 at 2:54 pm

I still hold out hope that she will be our nominee. The Denver Group is working towards it. They are part of Hillary’s large donor group. I also think the way things are going for BHO - the superdelegates may determine it is in their best interest to follow the will of the people.

BHO is going downhill fast.

It doesn’t matter if the DNC wishes to bury those issues. Of course, they want them to go away because they know the DNC violated the Constitutional rights of voters in Florida and Michigan.

The more you surrender, then more they will take. As I have expressed here — http://kempion.blogspot.com/2008/06/do-you-remember-2008.html

We’ve seen our 4th and 5th Amendments destroyed by DHS. Now, the DNC is going to get away with shredding our 15th Amendment. This is crazy.

#146 alohapuma on 06.27.08 at 3:08 pm

Kempion,

I agree the legal issues (the nuts and bolts) will win the day. HOWEVER, we need to be fueled by emotion as well.

For me, believing Hillary can still be the nominee and President, is what keeps me going right now. It’s not resentment about what *61 did or didn’t do, or the believe that he is basically a con man.

*61 will eventually self-destruct and I have to believe the clearer minds in the party know that by now! Nancy Pelosi and Howard Dean are not the clearer minds in the party.

This is just speculation, but I suspect they recruited *61 to run to build the party base again. You have to admit it was tempting given his “star power”. I think they had no idea that kind of money could be raised using Internet marketing techniques. ITS NEVER BEEN DONE BEFORE!

Now they have this unveiled guy who is showing himself, who they probably can not control if he gets in the White House.

I know a couple of Super’s personally. They have held for Hillary, but it’s not easy. Those who have switched to *61 did so because they are petrified by the numbers *61 brings to the table. Remember, their own re-election prospect come first.

I think many of these SD’s need an out and right now they don’t have one.

Most of what I just said is speculation…btw…

*61 is for banning all guns in America . At a recent rural elementary school assembly in EastTexas, he asked the audience for total quiet. Then, in the silence, he started to slowly clap his hands once every few seconds, holding the audience in total silence.

Then he said into the microphone, ‘Children, every time I clap my hands together, a child in America dies from gun violence.’

Then, little Richard Earl, with a proud East Texas drawl, pierced the quiet and said: ”Well, dumb-a**, stop clapping!’

Donna Brazile sent me this brief canned response to the email I sent this morning to Hillary (with copies to Brazile, Dean, Pelosi and Obama) …

***

Stop the hate and do not send more emails to me. Go find your joy and stop disrespecting Hillary Clinton.

If you want McCain, send him your rantings. I have moved on and it’s time you send your angry notes to someone else.

***********

Here’s my response to Donna (with copies to Dean, Pelosi, Obama, and our beloved Hillary) …

***

Dear Ms. Brazile,

I wouldn’t be sending emails to you if I didn’t respect your position as a superdelegate. Despite what I believe is your misguided support of Senator Obama, I’d like to believe that you care about our country and our future. I’d like to believe that you’ll exercise good judgment and cast your vote for Hillary Clinton at the convention in Denver.

I often do send copies of my emails to Senator McCain, as per your suggestion. I sincerely hope he’ll use my talking points.

As for your suggestion to “stop the hate,” the hate isn’t coming from me or my PUMA family. We love this country too much to see it in the hands of a man who spent 20 years embracing the hateful, poisonous rhetoric of Reverend Wright. We love this country too much to see it in the hands of a man who inspires such vile behavior in his followers. Again, I seriously considered voting for Barack Obama months ago. But the more I see of him, the more I dislike, distrust, and fear him.

Even my staunch Republican friends, who have gained increasing respect for Hillary Clinton during the primary season, have begun describing Senator Obama as “scary.” They didn’t feel that way last January. This is new. This is something they’re seeing in light of the Reverend Wright story and the hateful blog postings of Obama’s supporters.

If you keep tuning us out and don’t heed our words, the Democrats will go down in defeat in November. I have a feeling that the DNC cares more about winning than it does about crowning Obama. If you want to win, the way to do it is with Hillary.

Thank you for your consideration.

#180 alohapuma on 06.27.08 at 3:19 pm

Alohapuma, I agree. I believe Hillary would not be doing this unless she had something up her sleeve. She would not allow herself to be publicly humiliated by supporting BO, unless there was a damn good reason for it. Uniting the party is not the reason.

She knows full well this SOB will be putting his foot in his mouth one too many times. He has also been burning bridges without constructing new ones. He has no where to go but down.

I hear when Hillary introduced BO to her financial supporters last night, they were less than impressed. When asked about the blatant sexism that Hillary was hurt by, he stated well others have also been hurt. That was his chance to take a stand for women, for Hillary and he did not!

I have to believe that BO will self-implode and Hillary will be our nominee! I don’t believe that BO can win and I don’t believe the DNC thinks he can either.

I will vote Republican for the first time in 34 years. My party has given me no choice, if Hillary isn’t our nominee. I will vote for the American people and not allow BO anywhere near the White House!

One Love

Furthermore, Hillary has the right to have a roll call at the convention. Many candidates before her went to the convention with far less delegates.

As to the Clinton supporters that are for McCain, I am a PUMA, one of many pro-Hillary supporters all over America. I will not ever vote for Obama as I consider him not to be the true nominee. He was “selected” by the DNC Rules Committee who met behind closed doors and allocated delegates to Obama that he did not earn and also gave him 4 of Hillary’s earned delegates. As a member of Congress, you should be alarmed at the hijacking of the democratic process. The party has lost me as I cannot support an unqualified candidate who lies about his associations and also played the race card against the Clintons and then blamed them.

The Unity event today in NH was a farce. The Party is not united and we will not come home until the DNC does the right thing and takes away Obama’s delegates that he did not earn and have a roll call at the convention with Hillary on the first ballot.

Again, I will not support Obama.

What site are you on?

#192 anonymous on 06.27.08 at 3:24 pm

Murphy,

We need you and Mr. Bower to give a response to this “Unity” show. Can you call in or something? Larry King asks people to call in to ask their questions. Can you call and talk to him tonight?

#193 mayor0102 on 06.27.08 at 3:25 pm

Hi dcinvegas.. Glad to see you back. E-mail me.

Unity, NH: It was a repelling combination, like a meal of Chocolate Cake and unsweetened Grapefruit juice! The love just wasn’t there!

Here is a little note from Donna Brazile expressing her prefab opinion of NobamaNetwork.com:

Subject: Unity Across America,

Yes, it hurts to see the party united and it must hurt to see two terrific Americans embracing for change.

Can you send your filth, your hate and your repugnant views to the political party that has spent decades dividing us along similar lines?

Here is where I stand and millions of other Americans who will work hard to support the Democrats this Fall: No more lies, no more smears and no more wars!!!!

No more tax cuts to the wealthy and no more crumbs to struggling middle class families!!!

No more levee breaches and no more government trailers laced with poisons.

Get a grip and find your joy! I have moved on and it’s time you and those you are trying to rally with hate filled lies and more smears find your joy.

Thanks for the link. I just started watching *61 and had to come back to complain. When he was thanking everyone, he said, “Thank you Hillary Clinton” and he didn’t even look at her. She was standing right next to him, and he couldn’t even look at her when he thanked her! He disgusts me!!

I haven’t been following the news stories too closely. It breaks my heart to see all the fires burning in California, knowing that I can’t be on the fireline helping. It’s still too soon to know if I’ll be able to return as a firefighter. However, I’m seeing measurable improvement in my knees. I now have hope.

#198 alohapuma on 06.27.08 at 3:28 pm

Donna can’t take the heat, can she? Everything is about “hate” with these people. I remember the 60s when it was love, love, love, peace, peace, peace. Now its the 2000s and its hate, hate, hate. Where have all the flowers gone?

#200 Taffy on 06.27.08 at 3:29 pm

all about bo and how gracious he is and people can really see the contrast and he right choice. also saying give her a break she’s trying too old to run again after bo

#201 dcinvegas on 06.27.08 at 3:31 pm

I’m watching her speech…they keep the camera close on her so all you can see behind her is kool aid drinkers. Her speech is enough to make you cry. I know she has to say it but it hurts to hear it nonetheless.

#202 mayor0102 on 06.27.08 at 3:31 pm

Firebelle #196

Keep the faith. Knees take a long time. I have two in my family who have had different knee surgeries and it does take a long time (a year) and that was with theraphy twice a week. Don’t force it. Anyhow, you have great writing talents.

#203 TrishfromCanada on 06.27.08 at 3:32 pm

donna must have some of bo’s legion of soldier boys sending those letters, they do not sound like they would come from someone who is familiar with writing to the public.

They have a hate and anti-everything smell to them.

#182 DaddysDarlin

I agree. Hillary certainly gives the appearance of supporting Obama. But more than that, she’s appealing to his supporters so that when he implodes, she will have already captured their respect. She’ll be able to slip into that nominee role with far less resistance from Obama’s supporters.

#205 Taffy on 06.27.08 at 3:32 pm

I’m gonna have to take a shower soon :)

#207 mayor0102 on 06.27.08 at 3:34 pm

dcinvegas #200

I cried all through her speech. The reason was because she is the best leader that this country “could have” had and the DNC and Obamanites let it slip through their fingers. It’s not about who is “best”, but who is most popular. That’s high school politics at its worst.

#208 hillfan4mccain on 06.27.08 at 3:34 pm

I’m sorry to say this but I dont think paying down Hillary’s debt is going to make “our” point. Can we come up with 20mil even 10mil? She is doing her job. If ‘we the people’ pay down her debt then what? Will she be free? I am not convinced. She is still part of the Dem. party. Debt or not 18mil votes should count for something. My God this is the Clintons, the most powerful couple in the party. And they still pushed her aside. I think paying down her debt is a nice idea, but not productive. We are not heavy hitters, if we were we would have been at the Mayflower yesterday.
We DO need to make a stand today with something. $5.00 to McCain? A crap load of stuffed pumas sent to HER office? I dont know what. BUT SHE also needs to know WE ARE NOT BUYING IT.
I love Hillary and I want her in this time but we need to let them know soon that we are not that easy. And our purpose here is larger.

#209 wontbackdown on 06.27.08 at 3:35 pm

#178 Firebelle Puma… Great letter and…..

How hypocritical “Stop the Hate”… Yes, Ms. Brazile, we do believe that BHO, you and the DNC are doing more damage to both women’s rights and the progress our country has made in the last 20 years over racial issues, not to mention the public’s view of a tainted political process.

Why does she believe that a “black” selectee is more important history-making than would be the woman she has long “admired so much”, used for her own political aspirations, and would hands-down profess as the most qualified candidate, if it were not for BHO jumping in the race as an opportunist against a female candidate!

#210 nhforhillary on 06.27.08 at 3:35 pm

Hi PUMAS,

I AM NEW to your membership. It sickens me that Obama would use my state of “New Hampshire” for his theatrical charade. Who is organizing in New Hampshire? I want in to defeat Obama. As a former Edwards voter turned Hillary supporter, I want you to know that more than 18 million people supported Hillary, 18million who voted for her plus 3 votes from my houshold. We will not accept NOBAMA! UNITY my foot! America still believes in doing the right thing. We don’t “select we elect nominees”. We will vote for McCain to make it hard for Obama if the DNC doesn’t make things right. For every vote McCain gets, Obama will need 2 more. - have to pick up my son it’s thundering in New Hampshire. It will rain on Obama’s parade…how fitting! Go PUMAS!!

#213 Delray Beach Resident on 06.27.08 at 3:37 pm

Hello Everyone …
Before we start donating to Senator McCain’s Campaign, we desperately need to pay down Senator Clinton’s Campaign Debt … to position her, just in case that miracle comes along … so please don’t go off the bridge just because there was a rally today. Senator Clinton is being a team player with professionalism, grace, style, and keeping us in mind always. I’m not saying (so don’t take this message out of context) that I would vote for Senator Obama … I will not, but if you have the $$$’s to donate, please bring down the debt for Senator Clinton’s Campaign to give a good position at the August 25th Convention … should the opening occur, and to PUMA.
Remember, Senator Edwards also suspended his campaign and could move … in a minute.
GO TO HILLARY CLINTON.COM donate to bring down her debt. Everyone I’ve talked to at her Campaign Office confirms that all $$$’s donated go to her Campaign.
Thanks for listening!

#214 maxgrader on 06.27.08 at 3:38 pm

(#44) alohapuma:

No, Hillary won’t get the nomination as things stand now.

She was once my hope; she is no more. Why? Because, as I have found, she is for the principle of party first, not power to the people.

Your hopes and mine as PUMAs should now be focused on roaring at the DNC, that we are about to pounce on them for turning full votes into halfs and stealing others for Obama. AND for them giving abated importance to the popular vote.

The current DNC leadership has skewed the meaning of democracy (a system in which people rule) and needs to be dealt with before they can get away with their acts of oligarchy (rule by a few members of the elite, who generally benefit themselves).

Think restoration to democracy, okay? That’s what PUMA is mainly all about, not Hillary Clinton (I hope I have that right, Murphy).

#215 mayor0102 on 06.27.08 at 3:38 pm

Why should Hillary clean up OB’s messes? I hope she is not on the ticket for that very reason. Let him fall and fall hard.

#218 Firebelle Puma on 06.27.08 at 3:39 pm

Mayor0102

Thanks for the support. If Hillary can keep the faith, I can too.

As for Donna, it’s her own hate that colors her view of the world. Were she not so full of poison herself, and were Obama not so full of poison, Donna would be generating responses that help us see why Obama would be good for the country. Alas, there’s nothing good she can cite, so she has no choice but to call us hateful.

#219 Taffy on 06.27.08 at 3:40 pm

#220 mayor0102 on 06.27.08 at 3:40 pm

Maxgrader #214

Agree completely. I’ll always love Hillary and support her in any endeavor, but not the DNC. The PUMA goals are very clear. In fact, MURPHY, can we post them again from time to time on the threads. Not everyone goes back to the PUMApack Intro.

#221 wontbackdown on 06.27.08 at 3:41 pm

Finally! The MSM is reporting that “we” are not the only ones that are not “falling in line”, “coming around” and “getting over it”.

I want to encourage everyone here that this is not over. The war between the GOP and BHO has just begun.

Who do you really think the country would pick to be in the same fox hole in the midst of a war - BHO or McCaine?

#222 mayor0102 on 06.27.08 at 3:42 pm

Poooooor Donna. One has to feel for her if she has that much hate stored up. Must have been a tough life (seriously)

My response to the Democratic National Party asking for money;

I will not give one copper penny to support OB.

Big test? You bet. You and the democratic party help steal the party nomination
from the best candidate, Hillary Clinton.

No Hillary, NO MONEY!

#225 zombiefortruth on 06.27.08 at 3:45 pm

BHO and BHO supporters alike will say or do anything to get our votes, Please do not fall for it, it is all empty.

I have been posting on several sites since December and I have watched as these supporters have disrespected Hillary and her supporters. I have taken screen shots from that BHO blog site and watched as the hateful bile spewed accross the screen, then I would look at the HRC site and see, uplifting, gracious spirited conversations.

This is what really “Turned me on” to Hillary (yes I am a man, and not in that way :) )

This country needs not only the most quallified person (HRC) but this woman and the uplifting support from these great women that have been behind her since day one!

BHO is desperate, his words are empty rhetoric and he does not care for anyone but himself, just like his followers.

Do not give them the satisfaction, just look at the blogs and you will see how they really feel about us!

Hillary Supporters for McCain 08

McCain/Clinton 08 (I will support that ticket!)

#226 Taffy on 06.27.08 at 3:45 pm

Comment…Thank God illary wasn’t like this in campaign. We would have lost.”

#227 alohapuma on 06.27.08 at 3:45 pm

hillfan4mccain,

Everything you say is true…especially that 18 million votes and winning the popular vote should count for something. It should mean everything.

I also believe we have to be pragmantic about what needs to be done here. If Hillary’s supporters do not pay this debt off, then this issue will haunt her and discredit her for the rest of her political career.

We are not heavy hitters, most of us. The thing is in the Internet age, we don’t have to be heavy hitters individually to influence a large result. BO is charming (for awhile) and give a rousing speech (better the first time) but his ability to harnass the power of the Internet to generate money and influence public opinion is why he is where he is.

In someways we are practicing “old school resistence” which is also extremely important, but I don’t think that’s going to win the day without incorporating what I’ve described above.

Please understand I mean no offense. Our pupose in the larger context is to protect our democracy. You are absolutely right.

I just think we can not loose sight of the nuts and bolts and realities of politics.

Hillary needs to tell BHO and the DNC the following and then release a statement to the Public that it is what she has told them:

“Okay, I’ll do whatever you want, go wherever you want, say whatever you want, as long as there is a delegate role call at the convention and my name is still on the ballot.”
