Beautiful picture Murphy, looks deep in thought
If you’d like to email the bot who screamed at me with that riduculous rant I posted downstairs, feel free.

The HOUND thing is so ridiculous – I love how the blogger on riverdaughter summed it up with the dog diary/cat diary. That was one of the funniest things I’ve read in a long time.
Just keep in mind, she will have your email if you do.
Good night all, have a great week
what kind of email address is that for a paid blogger? Obama better do some screening or he’ll have another sex scandal
#5 antifish
I could tell from her writing she was female. freakyone is a good name for her.
night, Matt
Goodnight matt,
#10 TrishfromCanada and antifish -
she also sounds about 17
#10 Trish,
Yes indeed. Anyone who supports Obama has to be a freaky one!
HOUND:
Help
Obama
Undermine our
Nation’s
Democracy
I just had to repost that.
#9 Dragonfly
I had to put duct tape over my fingers so I wouldn’t type the first response that popped in my head
#720 antifish… I read the email downstairs from the “nut-case… you know what?
It sounds like Ms. “find your joy” Brazile finally blew her top, to me!
#15 murphy
lol I bet you’re laughing yourself silly about that acronym
I had a similar rant some months ago on myspace just after I put my Hillary banner on my profile page, some military guy bashing me and calling me vlugar names. I simply ignored him. I always thought it odd that someone who didn’t even know me and was military and should stand for my freedom felt it necessary to take the time to bash me.
#5 antifish on 06.30.08 at 12:43 am
Ooooh, thats really tempting, but that requires energy for a lost cause, and I really do not want to stoop to his level like BO and some of his friends do.
Sorry they annoyed you though
#15 murphy… Letterman has nothing on ya Murphy! LOL! It’s too good!
#15 Murphy,
That’s fabulous!
#7 antifish
nawwwwwwwww e-mails are a dime a dozen, think I’ll create one called b*tchslap@yahoo.com, then e-mail her
hey, I missed some of the coverage of PUMA folks after the Unity [puke] event. any links anyone?
sheesh… I finally lifted my head fro eh keyboard and alla youse were gone! lol
#732 queen81
“I was so proud to see Curve take a stand and not fall for the glitz. Nice to know that some in the GLBT community realize that BO didn’t become interested in us until he decided he needed our checks.”
I live in a an area that has the largest glbt population in this county. One very dedicated Obama campaigner, who lives down the street from me, has removed his Obama sign from his window and removed the bumpersticker from his vehicle. I’m sure his change (god, I hate that word now) of heart must have been a difficult one for him after all the time and energy he poured into supporting his candidate.
People must be realizing who Obama really is… finally.
#17 wontbackdown,
Hey! I think you’re on to something there. She certainly qualifies as a “freaky one”.
#15 Murphy – okay, now that is an acronym I can use! hehehe
#23 TrishfromCanada……
((((b*tchslap@yahoo.com))))
#5 antifish
I will write to the little darling tomorrow.
#18 queen,
The majority of military folks are staunch right-wingers. It was pure hell being gay AND a Democrat in the Army for 24 years.
#29 goandersen,
Yes, do treat it as any good Puma would treat its prey!
23 TrishfromCanada
you took mine!! LOL!
#20 matt,
Oh, I wasn’t annoyed. As I stated downstairs, I’m honored to be getting under their skin!
#31 antifish
Is there another way?
My mom adn I were talking this afternoon and it sounds like she might actually agree to going to Denver to march on the Democratic Convention. How many of you PUMAs are planning on doing this? Do we know a good place to stay? And I would only be able to stay for the weekend as both our jobs wouldn’t allow us off the whole week as we have a vacation earlier in August to Vegas (It’s going to be a very fun 21st birthday. =P). Is that acceptable?
#26 antifish… yeah, she’s been trying to squeeze it in for a few weeks now and sound real DNC-ish…
…but, I think ole DB finally blew a Big One!
#5 antifish – I will write her too
#30 antifish – thank you for your service. My bro is in the military – just got back from Iraq, third tour in the sandbox
#31 antifish
I’m going to e-mail her and ask one question, lol can’t post the question here, and I’m almost keeled over from laughing
#23 Trish,
Oh, that’s awesome!
#38 Trish – take off the duct tape!
I’ve decided I like what Will Bower said about Governor Rendell in the radio show. Time will tell.
Hey, goandersen, did you hear about alucard’s son in law?
pa dem, what did Will say?
35 Inu
What, your 21st?
Hi, everyone. Sorry if this is a re-post. Texas Darlin is tenacious in her investigative work regarding BO’s birth certificate. I’m more convinced than ever, that something isn’t quite right with the whole thing. The article in her blog basically outlines the chain of events from when someone in the D. Kos suggesting it print a copy of the bc (to silence the rumor), to someone offering to help do that by providing a template of a Hawaii b.c. that just happens to have the same time of birth and place of birth info on it as the one on BO’s b.c. The tech experts verified that the b.c., at the very least, have been tampered with using Photoshop. I find it really disturbing that BO’s campaign would produce a b.c. that has been worked over technically, when the document itself states that alteration deems it invalid.

#35 Inu – prplevette is going and her daughter lives in Denver.
#39 antifish & #40 Dragonfly
ok lol I e-mailed her and asked her if she was MO
lol I know, I know but I couldn’t resist, she messed with one our pac
#35 Inu,
I don’t think we’ve discussed who is going to Denver yet. Probably a better topic for daytime since there aren’t many of here tonight.
42 Dragonfly
Yes I did. Very sad for him, his daughter and grandchildren. I lit a bunch of candles for them.
I think about him every day now. Very tough time for them.
#47 Trish
LMAO! Rolling on the floor now….LOL!
#44 goandersen
My 21st birthday is on August 9. We’ll be going to Vegas to celebrate. (Plus we go to Vegas every year, it just happens to be that the event we go to is on my birthday this year)
Antifish,
#755 Dances,
“Yes, it’s wonderful how we are growing. Someone who’s daughter does work for Pelosi posted here that word is she is worried about us.”
Of course they are, why else would all the OYutes be be freaking out and attacking? Why would Gov Rendell be responding to PUMA with that lame (and redundant … united means undivided why say it twice?) HOUND thing? While lame, the HOUND response also bolsters our profile and legitimacy.
Did I send you that graphic I did? It blew me away that he actually said the democratic primaries were unfair and undemocratic, etc.
If Obrutha’s numbers are not as high as they expected at this juncture, we are a real and continuous threat to them. Too bad. So sad. Not.
That Victoria A. Brownworth piece at No Quarter, “Why Do They Hate Us? How the Media treats Hillary is indicative of how the world sees women: as second class citizens.” propelled me back into reality and cemented my resolve. Defeat Obama. Call out sexism where it lives and thrives and defeat it.
#49 goandersen – how are you doing? are the fires near you?
Someone downstairs wanted to send NP a present. Here it is. Pelosi needs non-generic. It has a heart
Diazepam – Valium 10 Roche
Generic Name: Diazepam
Strength: 10 mg
Manufacturer: Roche
Trade Name: Valium
Type: Antianxiety
Class: RX, CIV
Size (mm): 8 X 2
Comment: N/A
Will essentially said that Rendell was giving us a thumbs up and even agreed with many of our points in his creed–about the caucuses for example. He also said that he thinks Rendell is really hoping for a VP slot in 2012 with Hillary…since he is ending his job as Governor in 2011.
#37 Dragonfly,
My God! Three tours in Iraq? I can’t believe what is happening to our service members. It’s just awful. Please thank your brother from me when you talk to him again. I’m so glad he’s safe. Maybe he won’t have to go back?
#52 Dances – you rock!!
I could go to Denver
Let’s make it Chicago ‘68!!
Purrrrr
#35 InuHanyou1701
I heard that the march would be on the 25th of August. The whole permit to march is still being worked out I think, but do visit the 18millionvoices website for updates about it. I made a list of all the towns/cities close by to Denver with links to hotels and motels so if you’re interested, send me an email at all4mygirl at gmail. I forgot which PUMA is in charge of the Denver march and her/his contact…anyone know? Once I get that info, I’ll just send her the email with this info so everyone can access it.
#31 antifish… At first I thought…. Pelosi?
Then, nah, she probably heads straight for a colon cleanse at the slightest hint of a little upset.
It’s a Brazile kind of let-it-rip, blow-out email for sure!
#47 Trish,
MO. LOL!
Dragonfly, the Confluence has the BEST post Unity* protest info.
One of the regulars over there, Mawm, organized it with his partner gary.
link:
http://riverdaughter.wordpress.com/
Every post there is worth the read, but the Unity* ones are from yesterday and this morning.
night all.
#56 antifish – in theory yes, he is safe. He is to be deployed again but this time to Africa. I’ve always said our mother is his guardian angel. Thank you for what you said – I am very proud of him. Bronze Star on the second tour.
wontbackdown: No, if it were Brazile, it would include “stop the hate” somewhere in it.
#60 wontbackdown – LMAO on the colon cleanse
#52 DancesWithPumas……If “Obrutha’s”??? LOL!
#62 murphy
Night Murphy, sweet dreams
#52 Dances,
Are you talking about the Puma money or something else? I got the money you sent.
Trish….you really did that???? :O
brace of you
that’s “brave”
#57 Dragonfly “#52 Dances – you rock!!”
Thanks. And that’s exactly what I;m going to do right now… rock myslef to sleep. I’ve been so freakin’ wired with all the input, developments, and activity… it’s like we’re all channeling each other’s energy. A good thing, but still … I have to sleep once in a while.
Goodnight all.
#60 wontbackdown,
Yeah, I’d say Brazile. A lot of grammatical errors like in those Blackberry “stop the hate” messages she’s so famous for.
#62 Nite Murphy! Sleep well.
#64 pa dem… You know how a balloon takes off when you can’t quite get it tied and can’t hold it anymore…
Considering all the caps, she was probably typing with one hand and holding on to her a…s with the other and couldn’t get her mind on her “stop the hate” standard fair.
#45 Mimi Vee
Tell Texas Darlin, “High Fives” keep up the good work!
thanks for the post
#63 Dragonfly,
Bronze Star! Wow! You have every right to be proud of him. He’s a hero.
#62 murphy… goodnight… thanks for all you have done for everyone here!
51 Inu
my B.day Aug. 9 also!
Goodnight Dances!
53 Dragonfly
I am fine. fires are north and south of me. The air has been really bad everywhere for weeks though. Looks like LA around here and live near the coast!
Thanks for asking
#76 wontbackdown,
I got the mental image as I read your post. LOL!
#69 Taffy

54 Jeremy
only 20 mg?? I think she needs 60mg tabs. don’t you?
Poor np.
All your postings…antifish…I don’t know how you are still writing. I went to look for the mail you received. No way am I giving my email. LilyMaid~~~~doesn’t like getting attacked. Glad you are a PUMA.
BO reminds me of an arrogant, conceited basketball player in high school who’s in his own little click, who some of the other kids look up to, and they consider themselves lucky if he says hi to them. He has accomplished nothing else, is not an A student, no big league, just high school. The other kids that look up to him just want to be “in”.
This is how I see BO and the people who like him, they go along because they see celebrities, the media, those idiots on CNN and MSNBC, etc. etc. who talk about him like he’s the best thing to come along since tv. They want to be “in”.
There’s also those who want to prove they’re not racist by saying they’ll vote for him.
And then I’ve met people who will vote for him because of the war and as a protest vote against Bush.
They don’t care for anything else, it’s sort of like rebelion, vote in the opposite of what we have now.
#86 LilyMaid,
Thanks, I’m glad you’re a Puma too.
#87 bruce55555
Most of the jocks I went to school with made very little of their lives, let’s hope bo follows the same path
no, I think it was mo. she has to sit so far away from the keyboard you know. I bet she didn’t know the caps were on.
#794 Firebelle Puma, from downstairs,
great analysis on Hillary’s situation.
How about if he self-destructs after Denver, like in October, when the real ammunition from the other side starts pounding him, will Hillary be able to step in then?
#731 Jeremy
I hear ya, Jeremy!
#735 cosmeta
Great videos. The protests were covered the way the powers behind the networks wanted them to be covered. There is no such thing as “network news” any longer. Only corporate approved drivel.
#747 Firebelle Puma
Exactly! It drove me crazy when the talking heads kept sayign there was “little difference” between their two “universal” Health Care proposals. Yea, only that one is and one isn’t!
#752 Dragonfly
Hey, thanks!
Well, gotta work in the morning so off to bed.
#59 mini vee
Thank you! I will email you in a little bit, possibly tomorrow. I’m wilting a little bit. ^^; Getting tired and I’m in the process of doing a few things at once. (X.x Alas. Multitasking is not one of my strong suits) But! Absolutely I will be emailing you.
#80 goandersen
Oh wow! That is so cool! Small world. =P
#93 Inu
Leo’s Rule!
#90 goandersen
lol my stomach hurts from laughing
95 Trish
I knew you would get it first! LMAO!!!!!!
For the first time in 56 years I have become vocal because the issue is so important. I started here at Murphy’s site, and am learning the Puma pounce, but still have some scardy cat tendencies.
#96 goandersen
I’m gonna wake the neighbours, I’m almost howling here
#91 bruce55555
I don’t know what happens if Obama self-destructs between Denver and the general election. I’m afraid I’m pretty naive when it comes to politics.
I’m sure that if something horrible happened … and no, I’m not wishing this on anyone … the DNC would have the right to substitute another nominee. But if it’s just a bad case of foot-in-mouth-disease, the DNC may be stuck.
That’s why I keep pushing the idea of pushing Obama into those weekly town hall meetings with McCain before Denver. There’s still time for superdelegates to see the folly of their ways and change their votes to Hillary
goandersen, I knew you were a Leo. Very PUMA!
I hope MO e-mails me back, with her anywayssssssssss just like BO’s uhmmmmmmm
Must be entertaining having dinner with them
97 Lilymaid
Good for you! This is the first time I have been so involved in an election. I did the nuclear power plant demonstrations and the ERA stuff. But, this is so very different. So very scary and such a critical time for our country.
#85 goandersen and Jeremy, yup, np needs about 60 mg.
#100 Dragonfly
I’m a capricorn, where does that leave me?
#101 TrishfromCanada
[Must be entertaining having dinner with them]
Who could eat with them in the room? I’d lose my appetite.
100 Dragonfly
Does it show??
I have a Scorpio Moon and Rising on top of it.
#87 Bruce 55555555555555555555555555555,
LOL! Those are great observations. I agree. To the young, Obama is the flavor of the week, like an I-Phone or the latest video game, something they just have to have, but they can’t explain to anyone why. I don’t agree with them, but I get it.
The ones running off of white guilt anger me the most. I would vote for any candidate who isn’t corrupt and is qualified to be president, but Barack is neither. He is so unqualified, it defies reason yet they cling to him as if he is the end-all to racial strife in this country. Sad when, in reality, he and his followers have set race relations back at least 20 years.
#99 Firebelle Puma
I’ll send another round of letters to the supers then, every little bit helps.
105 TrishfromCanada
Oh Hell, she could hand deliver it without leaving her chair!
#105 Firebelle Puma
lol very true!
#94 goandersen
Absolutely! ROAR!!!
Pls check out the following website: http://www.unheardamericanvoices.com and
http://www.dncreform.com/news.html. Karen Hill is asking us to do our part in helping to reform the Democratic Party. I am just a recent member of the this blog site, but it hasn’t taken long to figure out that there is a lot of talent here. We may not agree on how to prevent Barack Obama from being elected, but we all agree that he should not be elected as President of this country. We have one common goal and I think Karen has some really good ideas. I am asking to take the time to read the website and article. I would be interested in the groups input.
Rebekah
105 FireBelle
LOL! I couldn’t
106 goandersen, oh yes, it shows, and so does the Scorpio moon, which would have been my second guess! never mess with a Scorp!
#109 goandersen
stoppppppppppppppppppppppppp
long arms scare me!
I ain’t nothing but a HOUND DOG~NOT Crying all the time. Anonymous has some good posts over yonder too.
Obama/Clinton08, we need your help in this unity business. We watched the rally and we were looking for the Oracle’s message. We heard him say that Hillary rocked, but we need more than that. The message just didn’t have the power code. We need more visual assistance to use. Can you provide the proper instructions on how to do the ObamaFlipOff? We are all visual learners here at our group. With all of the monetary devices you have this request should be easy. At your earliest convenience, we would like to see the Oracle salute Oprah with his outstanding trademark of the ObamaFlipOff. Thanking you in advance, since the Eagle may soon be replaced by a Crow.

144 Dragonfly
It is true. I can not help it. It is just the way it is. I can be patient for a long time and then I just have to pounce with the stinger.
Oh btw, this was my post in replying to “Obama/Clinton”
#104 Trish – Hey, Caps Rock! Capricorn is steady and sure-footed, relies on experience, and is full of wisdom. Would make a great author of a PUMA book.
117 TrishfromCanada
LMAO!!
Stop!! I have to pee!
#120 Dragonfly
lol libra is my rising planet i think
120 Dragonfly
My sentiments exactly. TrishfromCanada would write a great book “The Puma Chronicles”
#121 goandersen
oh go that put me over the top, my face hurts from laughing
115 TrishfromCanada
They do? LOL!
I need some help. I got an email back from somebody that is in charge of that site on Care2.com with the petition to STOP PUMA.. I wanted to send it directly to murphy because it is rather inflammatory to say the least.
Does anybody have her email addy… I cannot find it, although I am sure it is something I should be able to remember.
Thanks.
107 antifish,
you are sooooooooooo funny
One thing I hope with the young, they get excited now but by election day they may not keep their word or make it to the polls!
#120 Dragonfly
What is your sun, moon and rising?
Aquarius Sun, Libra Moon, Virgo Rising
#112 tutoress,
Welcome to the Pumas!!!
I love the first site you linked to, unfortunately I’m too tired to read much tonight. I read a huge file on Operation Board Game today so I bookmarked it for tomorrow. The second link is not working. Thanks!
#125 goandersen
lol they really do, reminds me of haunted houses and people grabbing you, and this movie i saw as a child of long arms reaching through the walls
126 lotts – murphy@pumapac.org
#126 lotts1948
it’s murphy@pumapac.org
I get emails from that Care2 and I haven’t been opening them, I’ll open next time out of curiosity.
#112 tutoress, I have the same experience as antifish at #130. Loved the first site!
#102 goanderson…Thanks. Pumas are awesome cats. BHO, whom I call Wanna, really should be careful where he steps. We are dropping lots of aggravation on his path to power.
#116 Jeremy,
That’s very funny!
bruce55555555555555
did someone hijack your first bruce555?
#108 bruce55555
At the risk of boring or offending Pumas who may have read this before, below is a copy of something I’ve been sending not only to the media but also to Obama, the DNC, superdelegates, John McCain, the RNC, and anyone else I can think of.
I want to goad Obama into doing the weekly town hall meetings, where he’s perfectly capable of making a fool out of himself and showing the world that he’s unfit to be President.
You’re welcome to use any of these talking points in addition to your own.
*************
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.
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. In November, I will vote against Senator Obama.
129 Dragonfly
Nice combinations.
I have a lot of virgo in my chart
#127 Bruce,
Yes, let’s hope the little buggers have some celebratory drinks on election eve and are too hungover to go vote!

137 Dragonfly,
I lost my password, got locked out, tried 2 email addresses, lost a few 5, gained a few, long story short, Murphy told me get a gmail address & start over – never blogged before, not too computer literate!
I am so thankful for all of you here and for Murphy, I think I’d go crazy otherwise, you are all the best.
#126 lotts1948
I just looked at their petitions, they have one to stop OB but nothing about Murphyor PUMA, the OBbots might be uplater than their parents tonight and playing on the computer

I think it is intentional to insight people and keep the angst going for distraction while they work behind the scenes with all their on the ground brainwashing campaigns.

I think i spelled incite wrong??
138 Firebelle Puma
Thank you, I’ll use it.
#54 – Jeremy
I would suggest, instead of Valium, the following for Pelosi and while we’re at it, maybe we should give some to Dean and obviously Nobama is getting really nervous…
Xanax XR by Pfizer
XANAX XR Tablets are indicated for the treatment of panic disorder, with or without agoraphobia.
This claim is supported on the basis of two positive studies with XANAX XR conducted in patients whose diagnoses corresponded closely to the DSM-III-R/IV criteria for panic disorder (see Clinical Efficacy Trials).
Panic disorder (DSM-IV) is characterized by recurrent unexpected panic attacks, ie, a discrete period of intense fear or discomfort in which four (or more) of the following symptoms develop abruptly and reach a peak within 10 minutes: (1) palpitations, pounding heart, or accelerated heart rate; (2) sweating; (3) trembling or shaking; (4) sensations of shortness of breath or smothering; (5) feeling of choking; (6) chest pain or discomfort; (7) nausea or abdominal distress; (8) feeling dizzy, unsteady, lightheaded, or faint; (9) derealization (feelings of unreality) or depersonalization (being detached from oneself); (10) fear of losing control; (11) fear of dying; (12) paresthesias (numbness or tingling sensations); (13) chills or hot flushes.
The longer-term efficacy of XANAX XR has not been systematically evaluated. Thus, the physician who elects to use this drug for periods longer than 8 weeks should periodically reassess the usefulness of the drug for the individual patient. ”
I definitely recommend an extended use of this drug.
ok nevermind i see the petition, some really funny comments on it
To all of you who are still up and to those who may read this post in the morning, please do go to The Confluence blog site that Murphy mentions . Read Riverdaughter’s “Late night grace” entry and listen to the music and video there. Please also read my post to Riverdance. It is for each of you, for all of us . Goodnight all! God love you for your love of truth!

What is the link?
lol here is one signature, and i swear I did not write this, wish I had thought of it first though
# 67: 7:54 pm PDT, Jun 29, Michelle Obama, Illinois
I was never proud of the United States of America until I signed this petition.
Goodnight New Orleans Puma and thanks! I’ll go check it out.
#155 Trish,
OMG! I wish I’d written that too!
#150 NewOrleansPuma is right. The Late Night Grace is wonderful.
Getting too tired, how are you still up antifish?
#146 goanderson Lol. I think you do have insight into the deception.
#155 TrishfromCanada
*Laughs* Oh wow that’s great! I wonder who wrote that!
#158 Dragonfly,
I’m about done in myself. I’m gonna go check out the Late Night Grace and call it a night. Goodnight Pumas.
I’m so excited, I’m about to flyer the world this week. PUMA flyers, flyers from Bitterpolitcz in the More Information Pull Down section supporting Just Say No Deal, and I am just feeling excited.
I hope others get a chance to do the same. This idea came from Susan UnPC at No Quarter. How to get the outside world in:
Flyer your libraries, bus stops, grocery stores, everywhere b/c we need more dissastified disenfranchised voters out turning down the DNC and the Undemocratic nominee.
Before coming online, I had nobody to tell my woes in real world, now, I share all my anti-Barky thoughts and works and positive Hill actions and it is really making a difference. For me, plus many people are skeptical of *61 but don’t have anybody to share that with.
Anyway.
The more the merrier in our worlds, I say, PUMA flyers are inspiring other flyers and we need to get past the media. Get people here where they can learn the truth and be set free. Flyer around.
Use the Puma Flyers, use these, help say Just Say No Deal.

Thanks to all who used to help me post links to Heidi Li’s Potpurri and all when I was caught in moderation hell in early days.
That was so appreciated, believe me. Thanks again for that one.

You gotta hear that Mozart piece. It is truly wonderful!

I did something different. I didn’t sign the petition. I just sent them some comments, which were something to the effect of why would you want to stop the Puma Pac? Don’t you believe in free speech and the constitution and little things like that..
then I got an email back from this person who is running it, I guess. Anyway, I sent it to Murphy because, as I said, it alleges a lot of crappy propaganda..
I think they really are running scared!!!

Just to clarify, is it legal to put up fliers on City owned stuctures like poles and whatnot without the consent of the City? (I mean I know I see Lost Pet things on telephone poles all the time but this is a little different) OR am I misinterpreting completely and you are only talking about handing out fliers?

And good night everyone else, too many of you great people to list….
go listen to the Mozart piece on Confluence. And visualize our Hillary taking the Oath of Office.

night goanderson,

night all
Here’s some good news about numbers.
http://www.cnn.com/2008/POLITICS/06/09/clinton.supporters/
“A newly released CNN/Opinion Research Corp. poll found that if Obama does not select Clinton as his running mate, 22 percent of her supporters would stay home this fall — and another 17 percent would vote for McCain.”
So that’s 39% not voting for Obama — about 7 million voters.
======================
Here is Craig Della Penna crunching those numbers (at his blog, http://theheraclitanfire.blogspot.com/)
“A newly released CNN/Opinion Research Corp. poll found that if Obama does not select Clinton as his running mate, 22 percent of her supporters would stay home this fall (almost 4 million voters) — and another 17 percent (a little over 3 million) would vote for McCain.” –CNN (parentheses are mine). So, if we use 2004 as the baseline – GWB won with 62 million voters vs Kerry’s 59 million. then take away 4 million Democratic votes, that leaves BHO with 55 million. Now take away another 3 million from that (Clinton supporters who will not stay home but will vote for McCain) and add 3 million to the Republican side. You end up with 65 million for McCain to 52 million for BHO. There is a word for this: landslide.
===============
I guess the bad news is that BO might have to do an Obama/Clinton ticket, which would mess up Hillary’s Senate career (and her chance to run in 2012).
Pls sign and circulate the petitions against HIllary as VP: http://www.pumaparty.com/hillarynovp
I’m going to head on as well everyone. Sorry I can’t stay! Work tomorrow. Plus I have some extra curricular things to do =P See you all tomorrow!
This was posted earlier downstairs (by Murphy, think). It’s a great video, well worth viewing:
http://youtube.com/watch?v=fL976STVvtU
It’s amazing how many of us feel the same way. In this video an Asian woman makes a comment like “They’re voting like this was American Idol” — I made almost exactly the same comment myself. There’s also a gay amn from NJ (I think) and nearly everything he said was exactly how I felt adn similar to things I’ve said. And on and on for everyone in the video. It’s clear we all feel something went terribly awry in the process and we’re all pretty much in agreement on the specifics. That’s pretty amazing when you htink about it.
OK…so I didn’t go to bed, ha ha, I had to come back and make a few final posts…gonna be a long day tomorrow!

Heidi Li has a piece on Stephaine Tubbs Jones, one of the good guys–a person who understands loyalty and principle.

Love what the CNN Poll says. To tell you the truth, no one I know that was a Hillary supporter will be voting for BO.

My mom adn I were talking this afternoon and it sounds like she might actually agree to going to Denver to march on the Democratic Convention. How many of you PUMAs are planning on doing this? Do we know a good place to stay? And I would only be able to stay for the weekend as both our jobs wouldn’t allow us off the whole week as we have a vacation earlier in August to Vegas (It’s going to be a very fun 21st birthday. =P). Is that acceptable?
===
Try craigslist..I’m sure many residents not into politics would be keen to trade places during that time period.
Hi everyone. Looks like I missed out on all the fun tonight
#108 bruce55555
Okay, my friend. You inspired me to do another round of letters to the media (with copies to the DNC and other key players). Same talking points, slightly different wording. I’m going to keep being the burr under Obama’s saddle until we buck him off the horse.
Again, you’re welcome to borrow anything you’d like from my email. Enjoy …
***********
To Whom It May Concern:
I’ve enjoyed watching the informative political shows on your network, as well as on your competitors’ networks. However, it disappointments me that none of you have been able to facilitate the weekly town hall meetings that John McCain would like to have with Barack Obama.
I know that Senator Obama is resistant to the idea because he doesn’t perform well in debate settings. However, the American public is entitled to hear the candidates debate the issues. So I beseech you to prod Senator Obama into accepting Senator McCain’s invitation.
My own beliefs are more closely aligned with the Democrats than they are with the Republicans. However, given a choice between Senator Obama and Senator McCain, I will vote for Senator McCain in November. Why would I do that? Because Senator Obama may talk the talk, but he doesn’t walk the walk.
How many times during the primary season did Senator Obama say, “I welcome that debate with John McCain”? Yet now he refuses to debate his opponent. I don’t have to look any further into his background or his record to recognize that he’s not a man of his word.
How many times has Senator Obama insisted that he’s someone who can reach across the aisle? Yet he refuses to reach across his campaign platform to discuss the issues with Senator McCain. Again, I can judge him by his current actions to see he’s not as bipartisan as he’d like voters to believe.
Senator Obama has repeatedly talked about transparency in government. In fact, I seem to recall him also saying that he’d meet weekly with Congress if he were elected President. Why then won’t he meet weekly with John McCain now? I have yet to see evidence that Senator Obama is willing to follow through on the easy campaign promises, let alone more difficult ones.
I believe that Senator Obama is afraid that Senator McCain will expose the lack of substance behind his rhetoric. Truthfully, were he not afraid of Senator McCain, there’d be no reason to avoid weekly debates. However, it’s quite clear that Senator Obama isn’t confident enough in himself or the issues to speak without a teleprompter or the scripted words of his speech writers. Extemporaneously, he “ums” and “uhs” his way through any speech sounding even less articulate than President Bush. Were Senator Obama’s supporters to see this too often, they might have second thoughts about electing him to represent us around the world. And so Senator Obama hides from events where he can’t use scripts and teleprompters as crutches.
The media has an important role to play in this election. And that role includes bringing televised debates to the American public. So again, I ask you to do whatever it takes to get Senator Obama to agree to weekly town hall meetings with John McCain. Voters deserve this opportunity to hear the candidates debate the issues.
Thank you for your consideration.

WOW! THAT’S SO EXCITING!!! I HOPE THAT YOU’LL HAVE A WONDERFUL TIME. 21st IS A VERY SPECIAL BIRTHDAY.
I went to Vegas 3 times. In 2001 I went there for the first time with my mom and uncle. We went for the weekend because I had to work. We saw “O” and “Mystere”. I loved those shows. Then in September of 2005 I went there with my husband for the weekend to take a TOEFL–Test for English (Non-native Speakers) for Grad. School. In January of 2006 I went there for a day to take GRE-Grad. School. I thought that it will be more exciting.
There was a lot of talk about birthdays tonight. Mine is Aug 30. Know what I want for my birthday?
Hillary as Dem nominee.
I’m expecting to get this present
Here’s hoping that the new format is SOON in coming and that it consists of an END to this morning, day and”overnight” free-for-all threads. What kind of focus is that?
WHY we fell into those random “topics” as opposed to at least the ATTEMPT to keep some threads action-oriented is beyond me.
There is NO WAY we can grow if the threads are CHOKED with chatty bits about “how are you doing” and “the weather is so hot here” and “I’m running out to do some errands” or “I’m going to bed after I have a snack” —
What a JOKE. Excuse me? We’re to keep tabs on how many thousands of “friends?” In a time of crisis when we need to GROW?
Have a CHAT THREAD for those people who need to let people know their every bowel movement when not online so that ALL can follow the travails of the small intestines of their soul mates while the rest of us can remain here to promote the mission…and invite others with the same purpose of saving democracy without pausing to cluck over every one else’s every hangnail.
Even if nothing else changes we can at LEAST dedicate some threads for the task at hand and have open threads for some punchy fun. So everyone gets what they want without RUINING the potential of this movement by clogging the ESSENTIALS with excruciating BANALITIES.
Every time someone explains why he or she will be gone for a few hours because they have to eat, sleep, defecate or fornicate I think, who the hell is keeping TRACK or thinks that others are?
And, NO, Seuss quotes won’t persuade me otherwise…I saw that version of the new format with some Seuss quote at the head. I am a HUGE Seuss fan. Not only for his silliness but also for his dedication to anti-war and anti-fascist sentiments. I know his history and I have a personal letter from him.
We can be WARM without this incredible nonsense of thinking we can GROW and stay on track with everyone explaining where they’re going to be every second of their existence.
Have a separate forum for all the Hillary supporters who already knew each other if they can’t get a grip on this.
Just wanted to post that every day this coming week our Daily Call to Action at Bitterpoliticz will be about getting the PUMA name and info out in the world!
PUMA’s roar!

That’s hysterical. I can’t stop laughing. Thank you.

#187 Zee
Don’t you think that this rant would have been more appropriate as a private discussion with Murphy?
I might even agree with some of your points, but this post was inappropriate in a public forum, IMHO.
I say this respectfully. I understand your frustration.
Respectfully, your fellow PUMA.
Firebelle, thanks for that letter…I, too, think that it is KEY to shame and humiliate BWUCK-BWUCK Obama for chickening out on town halls and debates.
I once suggested to Hillary’s campaign that she go ahead and have a town hall without Obama (indeed she did that on the Hallmark Channel, but I meant in North Carolina).
Anyway, I think we should also contact McCain’s camp and suggest he go ahead without Bwuck-bwuck.
#187 Zee
Please be patient with Murphy. My guess is that she’s never been responsible for a blog site before, especially one of this magnitude. She’s done a tremendous amount of work in just three short weeks.
i remember my learning curve when I set up my first web site. I had to teach myself HTML, because the existing web authoring packages didn’t meet my needs. It was hard. Years later, I had to teach myself to use new (and often frustrating) web authoring software. It’s almost a full-time job.
So if Murphy is learning this stuff as she goes along, she’s doing a fantastic job. Remember, she’s also doing a lot of things to support PUMA that we’re not necessarily privy to. And she still has family obligations. She’s to be commended for everything.
I agree with many of your points, and I think that Murphy will eventually get there. Be patient.
#192 Zee
I even emailed Ralph Nader and suggested that he do the weekly town hall meetings with John McCain. It would give him more visibility (something I’m sure that would appeal to him) and really make Obama look like a coward (something that would appeal to all of us).
pumaindy, no, actually, I don’t. Murphy already knows.
What continually astounds me is that people think we can GROW while each one announces that he or she has some errands to run but will be back soon ….
wtf?
It’s insanity.
I’ve NEVER seen its like anywhere.
Do you see such ANYWHERE else?
They all have personal touches…but NO ONE not ONE has a site where people think they have to announce they are going to bed but maybe will have a snack first or that they are going out to mow the lawn but will be back in an hour.
Meanwhile that is COSTING people who want to ACT HOURS AND HOURS of slogging through nonsense…not FUN nonsense but incredible nonsense on the level of BUSH AND CHENEY, thinking the world can’t go on without them.
I don’t care how “sad” that makes you feel…that is condescending and passive aggressive and I prefer to lay out the truth. Deal with it or not.
And, as I said…little Dr. Seuss quotes don’t change a thing.
We’re about to see a new LONG OVERDUE format emerge and I want to ensure it allows for GROWTH AND USABILITY AND EFFECTIVENESS.
It’s the HEIGHT of HUBRIS to think that anyone cares if you have to go use the john for an hour or run to the store.
Some of us work our asses and hearts and minds and fingers off trying to keep up with the ISSUES and we are not into “friendster” and “facebook” and all that nonsense. If I wanted a NEW FRIEND I’d go out a local event.
It’s almost 4 am for me to have caught up with a couple of threads. How is that helping anyone?
I am not saying you people who CARE what the summer temperatures are should not have a thread…I’m saying that those of us who are not retired or independently wealthy and have only so much time to focus on the TOPIC AT HAND, helping Hillary and democracy, should not have to wade through the inane banalities that inexplicably make some feel “bonded” and “connected.”
Firebelle…I have zero problem with Murphy!
I just want to get my input in before the new format is decided upon.
She’s not the one telling us that she’ll be back in a minute after helping son #2 with algebra and rinsing the arugula for supper.
#187, #195, ok – thanks for your post.
I think that I have now officially had about enough of this site. Those comments are angry and offensive. I need support, not more exposure to anger.
I am sorry that you feel that you have to inject this kind of ranting in a public forum that is supposed to be supportive.
Thanks everyone else. You have been my friends in a time of need.
Zee – you will get your wish by not having to read any more posts by me.
Sorry Zee – one more post for you to read.
You are a truly offensive person.
Zee, I do understand your frustration. I spend far too much time on this blog when I should be doing my own work. (I’m self-employed.) And I often skip over the social stuff because I don’t have time for all of it.
But I agree with pumaindy about keeping the forum polite. (That goes for all posts, including posts from people who want to vent about Obama, the DNC, etc.) That doesn’t mean I don’t sometimes get carried away myself, but I try to keep it in check.
I look at it this way … I have judged Obama in part by blog posts written by his supporters. I see how vile and hateful they can be, and I consider it a reflection of what Obama inspires in his supporters.
So I’d like to think that our blog should reflect the greatness that Hillary inspires in us. And I want to make Hillary proud. In no way does that mean I can’t continue working to defeat Obama. It just means I should try to do so in a dignified manner.
#197 pumaindy
Please don’t leave us. Every Puma is important. You’ve been a valuable asset to our group. Please stay.
Hey guys,
This is what I am sending to Gov. Rendell regarding HODUS (?). What do you think?
Dear Gov. Rendell,
You are a wonderful man, and a great leader. I greatly respect and I am very grateful for everything that you are doing.
Today I would like to thank you for your loyal support for Sen. Clinton, and hard work and dedication to help continue our fight for nomination.
I am one of the voters who is very upset with how the elections are run by DNC this year. I am an immigrant from the Russia, and I have lived under totalitarian Government for 13.5 years (I am 27 now, and I am forever grateful to President Clinton and Sen. Clinton for allowing me and my family to come here). I have very clear memories of how my grandfather received ballots for everybody who could vote in the family, and didn’t show up to vote. The Government system fixed the results in any way they wanted. THAT’S how voting was done there.
This country has given me an opportunity to flourish and enjoy life. My family and I are able to pursue endless opportunities, which we couldn’t EVEN DREAM of back in Russia.
My B.S. degree is in Public Relations with a Marketing minor. I graduated from high school when I was 16, and I got my B.S. degree when I was 19. I AM an active member of PUMA because I feel that my 1st Amendment right is suppressed. It is not right for the leaders to decide what I want to do. This country is about Democracy and freedom of choice. Why should I follow the rule of the few?
For me it’s not about being angry or upset because my candidate didn’t win. My vote for Sen. McCain in November if Sen. Clinton is not the nominee is not reflected by “principle” that “it has to be my way”.
I am voting on whether I feel confident with somebody who will decide what to do with my life every millionth of a second. On May 18th, 2008 Sen. Obama said that Iran is not a great threat to us because they don’t have as much money as Soviet Union did. That statement made me feel very unsafe with Sen. Obama being in charge of me and my family and that is the reason why I refuse to vote for him.
I applogize for saying this, but I am now working on the possibilty of Sen. Clinton getting the nomination at the Convention in Denver. I hope that you’ll understand my choice.
All the best,
anonymous
#197 pumaindy
Please don’t leave, you are very valuable PUMA here, and your posts are always thouroughly thought. Your comment is always appreciated. If we can get through all the negative media coverage of Hillary, we can get through offensive and saddening comments too. We are PUMAs. We defend ourselves, we keep going forward, and we are stronger together. Staying together is the only way for us to get the nomination for Hillary. Please stay.
#187 and 195 Zee
Please try to understand that we are all human beings and we want to find a way to communicate with each other. We talk on this blog to laugh, and share our thoughts and to plan how to act. We need to stick together in order to get the nomination for Hillary. One of the things to do to catch up is to go by shorter messages. I actually find it funny to hear somebody say that they are going to bed, or to maw the loan. Let’s keep on thinking how to defeat HBO.
Sorry, I misspelled. I meant to say: mow the lawn.
I also wanted to add:
pumaindy, I am with you. I don’t want to hear any hate speech either.
Zee, please stay focused on helping us to reach our COMMON GOAL–Hillary into the White House. We are exposed to more than enough hate speech during the day on other blogs. Please offer us more support. We don’t want to make anybody upset. It don’t read 500 posts from start to finish. I pick a couple and talk about them. It’s like real life. When you get together for instance with your friends, not everybody comes at the same time. You ask somebody to fill you in on details. If you only have 30 minutes for lunch, you don’t stay there for an hour to see what they talked about. That’s exactly how we do things here. You come at a different time, pick a topic to talk about and join the conversation. Please respect our comments.
Murphy, I am trying to find your email address. I have murphy@pumapac.org but the email came back to me. Do I have the right email address. I am sendingyou info on reforming DNC>

oops now it works

but luckily enough our HILLARY everyday looks more & more beautiful and gracious>>>> & THAT IS A VERY POWERFUL SING

I think the boy´s campign looks like a witchcraft art work>>>>it is gear to produce a state of narcolepsy on the public, where they take advantage to breath in slogan like mantras, THAT IS THE REASON WHY HIS SUPPORTERS ARE UNABLE TO EXPLAIN WHY HE IS THEIR CHOICE,they are doing everything possible to manipulate the public
*******
I do not know what is going on@ google, they are supposed to be very reliable. My e-mail was hacked and it is google, more or less at the time HILLARy was drove off the race, & guess what I think I know who did it¡¡¡¡¡¡¡
Good morning PUMAS,
I have been trying to catch up on the posts. It seems we have some strong feelings in here today. I don’t want to lose any PUMAs. We need everyone! I admit, I can’t spend a lot of time on here. I work 50-60 hours per week. I have a family that needs me. I try to do what I can. I see Zee’s point of view and I see pumaindy’s point of view. There has to be a way we can agree to disagree and work together to something done. Maybe Murphy can add a mod or two to help start new posts and get the ball rolling so we don’t have to sift through 1000 posts. It is hard to read them all sometimes.
We have a chance to do some great things with this group. I don’t want to lose ANYONE.
I love this site.
I have to go to work. Have a good all. I will check back after work.
I’m just learning about blogging too. There are some tools that you can learn to help you get to certain posts. I don’t know a lot about it now, but I am certain there are other tools that you can use that may help you get to certain topics, maybe. Yes, there are a lot of posts, 1 thread did have over 1000, I cannot remember exactly. The only tool I’ve used so far is the one where you use control and F and it will open up a find so you can search by whole word or case. It helps sometimes. There probably are other tools you can use too and perhaps some of the other Pumas here can help with a small tutorial of them. I think Cosmeta, for example, knows a lot about it.
I don’t really want to get into the middle of somebody who is “ranting” but can’t you just scroll through? I mean sometimes that is what I do. I work too. I am just fortunate enough to work at home. But still, during the time I am working, I usually cannot come on here very much and so I fall behind on the posts and have to read through them too. I usually make notes and add the links some people leave through their posts to either look at or read later, what have you. In all honesty, I cannot see how it could be actually OFFENSIVE to someone for a person to post that they’re leaving for a while … whatever it is to do… they feel connected here. Isn’t that part of what we’re trying to do too? Make people feel connected? Just my thoughts.
Anyone hear about this? I hope they won’t give murphy any trouble. Gee, I wonder what they’re so afraid of that they’re sabotaging anti-O blogs.
http://bloggasm.com/whos-responsible-for-shutting-down-a-number-of-anti-obama-blogspot-accounts
Good morning, all,
I see that there is some interesting dialogue going with regard to the blog. I agree that we don’t want to lose valuable PUMA’s! I also agree that the conversation does seem to get sidetracked at times from the purpose of the blog, and personally, I find it less interesting and tend to not get involved at those times. I just usually check back to see if there is any action in which I can be involved. We do not know each other, but are brought together for a common cause. Maybe everyone handles that bringing together differently. I believe this is a good group of people, but I think everyone has a different investment. So I just wonder if we can proceed with that understanding. Like Zee, I am more focused on the action of the group, but I do not in any way begrudge those who would like to spend time chatting. I just do not engage at those times. So those are my two cents for what they are worth!
Did anybody read this yet:

Good Morning Pumas. Today is a new day!
Seems there was some not-wonderfulness in comments overnight. I’ll be looking into it this morning. In the meantime, our job is to stay focused, organized, and active.
Our cause is sincere and our motives are pure. We don’t need to sweat small stuff. This blog is open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year. Overnight and other times, we use this forum to vent, share, and connect with each other. That’s how we stay motivated to be FOCUSED, ORGANIZED, and ACTIVE. No one can be ON 24 hours a day.
We need each other. We are either all in this together or all outside alone. I say, let’s do it together. As individuals we are complex, flawed, insecure, tired, overworked, broke, discouraged, inspired, creative, and strong. Each of us is all of these things sometimes.
But, together, with a united front, the little problems, disagreements, and failings can be minimized and overlooked. Because we have bigger work to do than pointing fingers at each other. We have bigger work to do than worrying about the future or the past. Let’s focus on TODAY.
New post up. Daily Action and GROWL coming in a jiffy.
Take it upstairs!
ALERT PUMAS – HUFFINGTONPOST.COM
I have to empathize with the disheartened Obama supporters, it is sad. They no longer feel the HOPE. I think we should go to this site and recruit them into our flock. Some want to know if Hillary can still run. You will find their comments under articles such as :
“Obama undercuts his brand”
“Squealing on the left at Obamas backflips”
login at huffington and signup to enter comments. They will send an e-mail to your account with a link verifying your password so you can enter comments.
Some want to know if Hillary can still run. This is a sad turn of events for them. It is hard to see fellow Americans feel the pain of being misled as we have. Hillary supporters knew Obama could not be trusted because we were on the opposing side, now they are finding out.
I think we can offer to reach out to them and bring them into the fold where they can find comfort and journey with us to the convention.
sample huffington posting:
God forbid that any of us have an opinion and place expectations on those we support for higher office. I don’t want to live in a country where to go along and get along means my principles are expendable and can be thrown out the window. I, like many others are sick and tired of politics as usual and I am disgusted that the person I supported for the nomination has basically given me and other progressives who donated to him and worked on his behalf, the finger. Yes, we were given the finger over FISA and I am mad as hell about that. Could I sit quietly and be nice as so many on this board advocate – “Can’t we just get him elected first!” is what we are told over and over – and called names and berated because we believed, foolishly, in principles and a leader we thought possessed them. We all know how the game has been played; we know that “moving to the center “seems to be the strategy in a general election. I just never thought that moving to the center also meant tossing the Fourth Amendment. I don’t vote for the lesser of two evils; I don’t vote because I am afraid of what will happen if that other evil twin gets in; I vote on principles and a candidate’s stands on issues I deem critical and non-negotiable and those include: war and peace; Constitutional principles and social justice.
#218 and 220
Just wanted to add a “ditto” to your comments. I haven’t posted any comments for a while because I too was subject of some backlash for a comment that was misread. Just don’t need that in my life, so I come on daily to read and see what actions need to be done and try to do them because I am passionate about this cause.
Its tough sometimes to stay focused when we obviously have so many personalities trying to deal with volatile subjects. However, these rantings and the need to force ones opinions as the only way, kind of reduce the blog to those of the OB idiots. You know they are reading this blog and it must give them great pleasure to see discontent among the members.
I am content to read and perform what is needed. For me that works. Others like the comraderie and that is great for them.
If we can’t promote unity within, how can we expect the forces we are fighting to do so!!
Happy blogging. Everyone have a good day!
murphy
thankyou
new here but I read just about every post. I found you because of hillaryis44.org and over the past year I have witnessed many people try to brake the back of that site. trolls will always exist but if you feed them they come back. If you disagree with someone ignore them and they will become bored and go away. Calling people out diminishes the goal of the blog. Many people relish stirring things up on a a pro -Hill site so as to have any new visitors percieve the site in a neg way. I say let em be. they are usually really boring anyhow.

This group is only 2 to 3 weeks old. We’re having “growing pains”. Sure, things could always be better but we ‘re still PUMA cubs. Please stay and continue to interact. We need each other. It’s a cold cruel world out there ( and probably going to get more so ). Murphy must be putting about 20 hours a day into this site and considering where we came from, which is a bunch of disgruntled individuals; we’re “come a long way, Baby.” ( or Sweetie if you prefer )
Thanks Henry and All.
I’m on the East Coast and I feel bad that when it’s really late here there are plenty of West Coasters who are wide awake and blogging. I try to be on the blog personally until 1 or 2am.
Anyway — when it’s late at night people vent and share and often feel bad the next day. I know I’ve been in that position PLENTY of time.
We’re grownups. and we’re the Good Guys. We can understand, take most of it with a grain of salt, and keep going.

[[ Do not want to get into any “in-fighting”, but cosmeta I’ve got a bone to pick…
You responded to my suggestions regarding paying down Hillary’s debt by describing it as a choice between putting food on the table or paying Hillary’s debt. Did I understand you correctly?]]
Yes, I said that, not for you or your circumstance but for mine. As to where I am coming from here in part are my demographics:
- female voter
- white american
- senior citizen
- blue collar
I am a registered republican for Hillary.
He is a registered democrate for Hillary.
We will both switch to McCain in the fall.
IOW, we are now living on a fixed income and managing to keep up with our own lives and the lives of our two married children and grandchildren.
I must have donated well over $500 to Hillary over the course of the campaign; a huge committment on my part considering that this year was the very first time in my entire adult life (to use MO’s term) that I have ever been so enthrilled and so involved in a politcal primary campagin; I usually only becoming involved at the General.
I may not be maxed out as far as what is allowed, but I am certainly maxed out as far as what I can afford to donate to Hillary, to PUMA or to McCain; and yes, even to our son who, in my opinion needs *my* help more than Hillary.

[[ Well..it’s OK to ignore my other posts.]]
I don’t think I am ignoring anyone; nor should I be responsible for responding to every single post, even if addressed to me… simply because I do not read every single post, and will often take breaks away from my pc and when I come back, do not always begin where I left off. So my point is, in this fast moving blog, I like the rest of you find it difficult to keep up with the volume here. But I am *not* ignoring you.
Does anyone here have a myspace profile?
cuz if you do, feel free to add mine. I’m “ONE of 18,000,000″
NObama’s “patriotic” speech…blah
Good morning Pumas! Have been gone for a week,and a lot has happened, and I see much is the same. I wrote letters and snail mailed them to Pelosi, Dean, sen. Boxer, and Feinstein in Ca.
I just wanted to check in, and will send money to PUMA this week, and did send more money to Hillarys’ debt.
I would love it if we could pay off her debt, rather than Obama, writing a check and saying he would ask his people to help pay . What a laugh!!He just wants her money people. so he can raise 300 million to beat McCain, just like he did with her.
Someone above me, suggested that our comments are sometimes too long, and maybe less verbage, and more action, is what’s needed here. I agree, it’s hard to read all these comments, especially the rants!! Can we try to keep those negative comments to a minimum, and focus on what needs to be done for the Convention.?
Also, I’ve been off line for a week, and can someone tell me where we are with Hillarys’ name on the ballot? Is it going to be thee, or what?
Thanks
Check it ou!

In regards to retiring Hillary Rodham Clinton’s debt I saw this idea on another blog site.
Go to her website on July 4th and contribute $20.08. See the YouTube below… it was great!!!

I have not received my tee shirt yet. I am anxious to display it at the gym. Has anyone received their shirt yet?

I agree with your comments about the differences between Zee an Indypuma and I think both are right.
However, we just need to be more patients, because as Murphy said every one is important in this group and we need to be together to accomplish our mission.
Is also true that we feel tense and frustrated, so take a deep breath and keep going.
I left this comment last night but everyone had gone, so I’ll re post it here. I just wanted to let you know, Google isn’t to be trusted. I heard on a news program that they keep a record of every search you make and sell the info(I think that’s what they said)but certain search words go to Govt sources. I don’t use Google search any more, When I wanted to make a comment on emilyslist, I had to get a Gmail Addy, then I had to give email contacts cause it said I had no blog membership, then they sent me to emilyslist and asked for a contribution. They wanted me to start a blog, which I didn’t want so I just backed out completely. Anyway, please beware of Google.
