DENVER UPDATE, July 3, 2008 at 10:30pm: ORGANIZE UPDATE! Wow, Pumas — the response is overwhelming. We will be spending the weekend hammering out details and updating everyone. Remember, the most important thing is that you come to Denver. We’ll be there — with signs and banners and cameras. Don’t be anxious or insecure. It’s a big city — they can handle a few extras. Start making your plans to be there — especially on the 27th and 28th.
DENVER UPDATE, July 3, 2008 at 12:35pm: TRAVEL UPDATE! Puma PAC will be providing buses from New York, Chicago, Los Angeles, Dallas, Jacksonville, and Washington DC to bring Pumas from all across the country to Denver, starting on August 24th. Please help pay for these buses. Many Pumas will find it difficult to pay for getting the time off, motels, food etc. Let’s help as many Puma PAC members as we can join us in Denver. This is a special BUSES TO DENVER FUND. All donations made here will go EXCLUSIVELY to paying for buses. If we can raise enough to hire 100 buses, then hell yes we’ll do it. If 20,000 members each throw in $10 bucks for a free ride to Denver for a fellow Puma we’ll have enough for 500 buses. Grab your fanny packs and get your days off from work Pumas. We’ll have a mighty convoy to Denver rolling on August 24th!
JOIN PUMA PAC HERE!
Hundreds of people ask us if we’re going to Denver. Are we going to march on the convention; demand that Hillary’s delegates are allowed to vote; demand that Hillary Clinton be allowed to deliver a free and honest speech.
Are we going to Denver? You bet your ass we’re going to Denver.
I don’t care if there are only 50 middle-aged women like me standing in the rain with fanny packs and homemade signs. I don’t care if the inept, elitist clowns who have the audacity to believe they in any way deserve to be called leaders continue to pretend to ignore us; continue to attack us like dogs; continue to undermine, ridicule, bully, and harass us.
Are we going to Denver? Will we be there to witness the final act in the Shakespearean tragedy that Axelrod, Obama, and Dean have staged for us against our will and without our permission?
We wouldn’t miss it for the world.
If you want to go to Denver for front-row seats to the tragedy, pick up your tickets here. We’ll provide a plan, signs, permits, and a film crew. You provide yourself, your fanny pack, your righteous indignation, and your voice.
Donate for Denver if you can. All funds raised will be used to organize Denver. We will buy signs, t-shirts, food and supplies for Pumas to share. We will pay for the cost of filming. All of our work is volunteer. All contributions are not tax-deductible.
If you would prefer to mail a donation to Puma PAC, please use our mailing address:

Hello! I am SOOO dead broke- but I REALLY want to be there with you all.
I sent the e-mails letting the Media and the Politicians know Pumas are going to Denver!
Goodnight to all sweet drreams, have a wonderful holiday….Pumas rock
I am just back from vacation (yesterday) and was going through the posts today about the e-mails sent, I saw there were 12,000!! I would like to send too, I just couldn’t find the origin of the initial action.
Would someone please direct me?
Hello
#3 GOSUE4HIL
I believe I saw an action posted on today’s earleir blog, entitled “Denver”.
You can also go to the Action Center at:
http://www.pumapacusa.org where you check out the Daily Growl and other actions. There are also a ton of resources there.
Night All.
I’ll be back bright and early.
Amazing work today, and
tomorrow is another day!
I guess the comments section for this thread is on after all.
Trouble is… I don’t have a thing to say.
How about that old stand by “testing”.
I know, I’m being silly
Goodnight all. Great day for PUMAs. Thanks murphy for all you do. We all truly appreciate it more than you know.
DUH!!
I just read my e-mail from Normita and she had sent me the info, I just sent them.
I feel better now.
Happy 4th, catch up tomorrow
It looks like Obama needs a bigger place for his big head.
http://www.denverpost.com/breakingnews/ci_9778858
Correct me if Im wrong…
Wasnt there something just recently about the DNC already having financial problems with the Convention? Now Obama wants to rent another building. Its not like they can give up the building they already have. The building they already have will be used the rest of the time that day and other days.
Then there is the problem of moving all those delegates back and forth; who is going to pay for that—Opps dont forget the gas prices.
For some reason I think Obama is getting a bit full of himself…
Doesnt Obama realize that his vote still stands on the super delegates. Already some in the party are getting a bit miffed with him. Hey we do have almost 6 weeks to go….
Hi all I havn’t been on in two days and I would love to go to Denver but since I can’t I will donate in case others can that don’t have the money my sister got a reply from Ms speaker said she wasn’t in her district so she couldn’t replyabout the subject so my sister is going to call her office she is also trying to get on the site here but is blocked by wordpress my gmail has been deleted strange things I never have problems with my pc but now things keep happening out of the norm I will be in Alaskaif I could get a refund I would go to Denver.
Does anyone know what/where to send the $5.44 to McCain?
Middle age go to Johnmccain.com some people are putting bo or dean in the spot for did a friend refer you?

I’m going to repost my posts from downstairs (Just saw that we moved on up) so please bear (bare? @.@; I never know!) with me.

Something I’d like to add to this is that even though you may not get a reply to your post, that doesn’t mean that you’re being ignored and no one is reading it. I know there are tons of you PUMAs out there that do the same thing I’m doing now. Reading through each and every post that has been made here today. And like me, you can’t exactly respond to each and every one. PUMAs please just be patient with each other and know that we see you, we hear you, and we love you. That’s my 2 cents.

#918 goandersen (from downstairs)
My attempts to not cry were not working.
Hello All! This is my first post here. I will donate my $20.08 tomorrow. I am a regular on TaylorMarsh and I was a regular on hillaryclinton.com. Sometimes I tangle wits with some Obama supporters on cnn.com. Here was my last blog on TM tonite. Sleep well all! I look forward to great discourse in the coming weeks!
Taylor, God love you, I just cannot agree with you. I know after the primary, you shook off the loss and put your head down and charged forward for the Democratic party. If the leadership wasn’t so dense, you should have a position within the DNC. That said, I simply cannot agree with your assessment.
Firstly, you said that both candidates basically looked at going forward in Iraq the same way. They don’t. Senator Obama has been campaigning on ending the war NOW. TODAY. He has been saying that since before the beginning of the campaign.
He went on to say, after characterizing the war as the Bush-Clinton war, that he was the only person with a plan to get us out. He said this in his stump speeches, at rally’s and at fundraisers. Have you seen that plan? His plan says that he will have the United Nations convene a constitutional comittee on Iraq’s constitution where nobody would be allowed to leave the meeting until the reconcilliation is complete. Really? He is SO persuasive that everybody will sit there and work out all their differences at once? I’m not convinced.
Second, his plans states that he will be a tough negotiator ‘…with Syria and Iran sending a clear message that they need to stop meddling in Iraq’s affairs…’ I trust he saw Iran’s leader being welcomed with open arms in Iraq. And what does he know about the Syrians? For that matter, what does he know about the Turks? What is he offering in terms of a stick, or does he plan to threaten Syria and Iran with force to ’send a clear message?’ These questions went unanswered during the primary amidst his absolutely positive stance on what he is able to do.
Finally, Senator Obama campaigned on the fact that his judgement is better than all the other candidates in the race, Dem or Repub. He campaigned that you want someone that would get it right from the start. Why then has his campaign then adopted the stance that his chief rival had to which he disparaged her for (with the great help of the mainstream media)?
http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/25519279
Futhermore Taylor, with his very visible propensity to change positions when caught by his words, his inexperience or political expediency based on the audience he is talking to, I don’t know what he will do. Remember that he is getting a lot of money from a lot of big donors. I’m quite sure that he will be beholden to them. Will they ask to stay in Iraq longer? Will they ask to have a few more subcontracts for their companies? Who knows?
The only thing that is for sure is that Senator Obama panders, and it is evident that he does that for his own personal benefit. So I don’t know what his positions are. I know what he said, but he has no political background I can refer to to say he is a man of conviction. This is the scariest thing about him to date. I have no idea what he does or does not stand for. Again I say, I am waiting to hear what he has to say when he comes back from Iraq. He was steadfast about that 16 months saying he was right and everybody else was wrong. If that timeframe changes, will he admit that HE was initially wrong? Doubt it.
Scary, very scary……
bmw don’t remember who it was but someone earlier posted they were coming from philly and had airline round trip for $189 would have to go back through posts if no one speaks up
Might be cheaper to go to NY and catch one of the buses???

ain’t no bad pennies on this site…only mighty PUMAs!!!!!
Hi Goanderson and Antifish.
I loved this article and thought I’d repost then go to bed.
Warning to BO: DON’T POP THE CORK YET!
http://www.realclearpolitics.com/articles/2008/07/dont_pop_the_cork_yet.html
Excerpt:
“All of the above examples of over confidence pale in comparison to the challenges Senator Obama faces within his own party and his share of the electorate. Despite their lofty attitude since winning the nomination, the truth is that while 18 million Democrats voted for Barack Obama, 18 million also voted against him. Whether or not the campaign wants to believe it, Senator Hillary Clinton’s supporters will not simply join the throngs of adoring fans that attend Obama’s rallies. They will have to be wooed and convinced as if the primary were beginning all over again. Senator Obama has less than two months before his coronation in Denver. If he can’t convince working-class men and upper-class women who voted for Clinton that he’s worthy of them, they might stay home or worse yet, cross party lines. Because of the support she garnered during the contests, Senator Clinton must be given a prominent, prime-time speaking role at the Democratic Convention. Should she blow the roof off the place, there’s no guarantee that some sizable amount of her delegates won’t vote for her anyway, even in the face of sure defeat. Call President George H.W. Bush and see how a divided and divisive nominating convention works out for the fall campaign.”
I say onward to the Convention!!

Hi Pumas,
Just joined. People have been asking me if I’m supporting Obama now. I just reply, “Pumas”. They don’t know what it means yet.
About 5 months ago when I was still visiting KOS, I made the attached graphic to describe how I perceived many of the Obama supporters there. Boy, how accurate is this graphic now!

Obama may accept nomination at Invesco Field
AP
Posted: 2008-07-03 21:44:25
DENVER (AP) - Barack Obama’s campaign is considering having him accept the Democratic presidential nomination at Invesco Field at Mile High instead of the Pepsi Center, the chosen site for the Democratic National Convention, two people with knowledge of convention planning said Thursday.
The two spoke on condition of anonymity because nothing has been confirmed.
Obama campaign spokeswoman Shannon Gilson said no decisions have been made.
Representatives for the convention host committee and Mayor John Hickenlooper declined to comment or said they did not know about the proposal. Colorado Democratic Party Chairwoman Pat Waak did not return a telephone message seeking comment.
Democratic National Convention Committee spokeswoman Natalie Wyeth said, “There’s nothing to announce.”
The convention will be held Aug. 25-28 at the Pepsi Center, with Obama scheduled to accept the Democratic presidential nomination on the final night, which also is the 45th anniversary of Martin Luther King Jr.’s “I Have a Dream” speech on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial in Washington in 1963.
Obama would be the first black nominee of a major political party.
The Pepsi Center’s Web site says it can hold 21,000 people for special events. Invesco Field at Mile High, where the Denver Broncos play, seats more than 76,000.
Associated Press writers P. Solomon Banda and Catherine Tsai contributed to this report.
Hey,
Had to share something else Hillary inspired me to make. I made this about a year ago. I was getting a whiff of misogyny and sexism from some of my liberal friends. They couldn’t explain why they didn’t like Hillary and I made this video to get them to question themselves. I’d like to fill in the last frame with “hero” now. Any other suggestions?

NRA to Target Obama With Big Ad Blitz
By JONATHAN MARTIN,politico.com
Posted: 2008-07-01 18:16:17
Filed Under: Elections News, Barack Obama
(July 1) - The National Rifle Association plans to spend about $40 million on this year’s campaign, with $15 million of that devoted to portraying Barack Obama as a threat to the Second Amendment rights upheld last week by the Supreme Court.
“Our members understand that if Barack Obama is elected president, and he has support in the Senate to confirm anti-gun Supreme Court nominees, [the District of Columbia v. Heller decision] could be taken away from us in the future,” Chris Cox, head of the NRA’s political arm, told Politico.

HI !! Just could not believe he is wiggling all around the Iraq promises …wow, he will be running out of things to ‘waffle’ around on before long….the MSM gives him so much air time to ’splain himself ..time for John McCain to take the gloves off and show him who the real American is. This Guy (bo) isn’t even truly nominated yet and he is needing a BIGGER venue for his acceptance speech…possibly a 12 hour one ala CASTRO…we need to send this guy packing …along with his teleprompter… back to his mansion in Chicago and his good neighbors the domestic terrorists Ayes & Dorn and his real church and mentor…oh, did you know that wright didn’t retire after all, guess he wants the bulk of that “faith based” initiative MONEY… his protege is itching to get his hands on, also known as OUR TAX DOLLARS…egads AMERICA wake up and smell the taint of dirty politics and dirty money! PUMA grrrrr!!!!
Good night all……. this girl is off to bed… did what i could and will figure out my budget for the month and see what i can contribute… couldn’t wait till the 4th though… sent my 20.08 to pay down HIll’s debt on the 1st….

All of you have a wonderful weeksend and happy 4th.
Incredible work getting buses to Denver going!
Still don’t have official word here about specific goals for Denver, but I advocate we should not give up on Hillary.
I’m going to sign off as well but I want to leave this quote (again) and I will leave tomorrow too…
From JK Rowlings Commencement Address at Harvard and I quote
“Even your nationality sets you apart. The great majority of you belong to the world’s only remaining superpower. The way you vote, the way you live, the way you protest, the pressure you bring to bear on your government, has an impact way beyond your borders. That is your privilege, and your burden.”
What we are doing MATTERS. It matters beyond our experience, our life stories, our rightful indignation.
We are pebbles in a pond.
wow i thought i would never get back in here whoooo
Hi everyone. I was blocked by a third party

I know, it makes me want to spit. First black american president?
He’s not black! I don’t get it.
Anyway, if I keep reading I’ll get riled up and it’ll be another 36 hour thing and that’s not good.
Enjoy picking that one apart.

Hey sandipuma!

that was blank???
hi goanderson sure glad your back
Trish
You’re probably sick of hearing this, but I really truly am getting to your stuff - I’m almost done with the logo and the Hillary growl for tomorrow. I’ll be up with the rooster in the morning so everyone has their assignments bright and early. (ok, don’t hold me to that…)
Hi sandipuma!
hi queen good to see you. I missed you all
wow Murphy, you’re getting a lot of posts, even after culling the trash. I can’t seem to post fast enough to comment!
Anyway my wish list for the future:
1. reform of the democratic primaries. One person=one vote. No superdelegates, no caucuses (without popular votes), no weighted delegations -winner take all primaries. (small states could be grouped and hold their primaries first, larger ones could follow - one possible scenerio). Of course it this had been the case this year, Hillary Clinton would be the nominee and much of the angst of Democratic primary would have been over long ago.
2. A continuing careful examination of all information concerning one Barack Obama; in line with confirming what many of the posters already suspect or concluded-that Barack Obama is unfit to be President of the U.S.
3. Resolution of the democratic nomination by selection of the most qualified candidate by the upcoming convention. This would require a little bit of forethought if one Barack Obama hasn’t fallen on his bonehead beforehand, but again I don’t see any other person than H. Clinton more qualified on the national stage.
4. In the event that Hillary is not select at the convention, than our support will include those whom we think is better capable of correcting the course this country has taken, be it John McCain, Ralph Nader or any of the others with judgment better than Barack Obama’s.
Just a note, I’m planning to vote for McCain in the absence of Hillary, but I sympathize with those who do otherwise. The future will sort the seers from the ramble.
Another note, Hillary shouldn’t accept the VP position in the unlikely event of Obama offering it to her. My feeling is Obama will drag many of his democratic associates through the dirt in his quest for glory and I don’t feel she would want to be part of it.

I added it to my address book. Oh, hell yeah, you are!
Hey Sandipuma - nice to see you back.
As I have said before Obama is turning pro-life.
http://abcnews.go.com/Politics/Vote2008/story?id=5304404&page=1
well said EMCA!
especially the part about the popular vote. Superdelegates and the electoral college are outdated. they were created for a time period where people were not well informed and it was believed that they were incapable of making sound decisions on candidates. well we are all watching now and our vote should be the deciding factor.
well still not the best yet but went and picked up scrip today and a couple errands and still weak. Not as bad as the past 2 days. Thanks for asking. I wonder how i got blocked from pumapac???? the tach said it was a third party.I wonder if it was the HOUNDS
Hey Pumas!

How about “no sloppy seconds”
Welcome back Antifish- now i can continue writing the song for your inauguration!
From the illustrious Tommy Christopher at AOL:
Dream Ticket Update: Looking Good
” A point said to be in Hillary’s favor is that Senator Obama, noticing increased gender-based attacks on Michelle Obama, sees Hillary as being able to act as a firewall for his wife.
This tracks somewhat with what I’ve been saying, except I see Hillary as a firewall for Barack, as well. He needs that so that he can still seem above the fray.
Furthermore, in discussions with high-level Republican donors, the Dream Ticket is being called McCain’s “worst nightmare,” as he is banking on picking up a lot of Clinton supporters, and stands to lose a chunk of his existing support from women. ”
Would some PUMAs like to chew on his hide? He’s in the can for bamie boy.

#83 - Antifish
Welcome home.
Trish its sandi1wiz@NetZero.com and they are slow and grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
((((anti)))))) sorry i missed your return was reading the mess in denver papers online
Before I retire….want to float a balloon for a daily growl.
This is about following the money.
I would like to target the major corporate donors for Obama with a write-in campaign. Volunteering to oversee..
As distasteful as it might be to many…the reality is money talks…not that grassroots activism doesn’t (it does), but tugging on purse strings REALLY makes waves quickly.
We know who these major corporate donors are…lets blanket them with protest for usurping our democratic process.
Goodnight
antifish…
I’m willing to cut and paste the 600+ posts from the DENVER blog… but I’m not sure it would be appreciated.
; )
anti did you hear murphy’s radio show?
Go read what bmw60?
111 ((((((aloahpuma))))) hugs
I agree, do you have a plan?
maryland,
Is there a reason to believe Obama will offer Hillary the VP spot??? He will have to break rank with Teddy if he does.
Whaddya know?
600 dances??? thought it was closer to 1000
oh the days when it was 300 Glad those are behind us though!
Goanderson and antifish-Please exchange emails with me through Murphy. I would like very much to exchange comments and opinions with you but don’t want to post them anymore. Thanks again for standing by me last night. Welcome back and hope to hear from you.
Recap from the day
Murphy sent each puma two letters and list of people to send them to. Please do so.
Go to the day’s thread, watch the video and read the opening. You will be motivated.
Go to
http://www.blogtalkradio.com/NO-WE-WONT/2008/07/04/NO-WE-WONT-INTERVIEW-WITH-DARRAGH-MURPHY-PUMAPAC
to listen to Murphy’s hour in the spotlight on No We Won’t blog radio.
Tomorrow’s Growl will be retiring Hillary’s debt.
“Fred” is having 10,000 professionally printed posters printed for pumas to email her for. She will send them. No charge for any of it.
“Fred” has also offered to get banners and signs printed for the Denver road trip.
That’s all I can recall off the top of my head, but of course, I’ve had my head buried in Photoshop all day.
Antifish . . .
welcome, we missed you
103 TrishfromCanada
Why take potatoe salad when you can have Ambrosia??
No matter who Obama has as VP, Hillary or not, he’s still unqualified and scary.
I’ve this before: Obama as Pres with Senator Clinton as VP, would be like Edgar Bergen letting Charlie McCarthy drive.
115 goanderson
I would be willing to write a letter to blanket the major corporate donors to be approved by Murphy and the leadership.
Then…we need to compile the addresses (email, snailmail and faxes) and send them en masse as well as copy the major news organizations.
That’s my plan…simple.

I think it is strange that Donna B. is trying to undermine Murphy just because she gave $ to McCain in 2000. I once voted for little Ross P., even joined his defeated group once, but that doesn’t make me less of a Democrat. Doesn’t make me adore Hillary any less nor does it mean that I will vote like the majority of PUMAs for McCain. No one owns our votes and we are not sheep. We all adore Hillary and will do with our vote what we feel is best for us. As the blog radio said, 3 positive points to vote for McCain, 2 positive to write in Hillary in states that count it for her or a third party. One positive vote not to vote at all. I will get one positive vote for not voting or I will get 5 points in voting for *61 if he asks Hillary to be VP or become a huge part of his cabinet. I could stomach him if I knew Hillary had real power in his cabinet as VP with a real job, as head of the committee that constructs the Universal Health Care System or something as big. We are all thinkers, not sheep, and Murphy is no sheep either Donna B!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! So Donna, keep thinking we are all Republicans here and you will be shocked this November when your job at the DNC is as valuable as a PUMA buck. Ca-ching! When *61 has to return to the senate as a defeated Jr. senator with little experience.

If if read 600 + posts, I wouldn’t be able to spend time with you guys, so please just fill me in on any breaking developments today. Did our nemesis flip-flop on anything else?

Other than Denver - this was the topic of hot discussions today too:
Obama opens door to refining his Iraq policy
By JENNIFER LOVEN,AP
Posted: 2008-07-03 16:49:57
FARGO, N.D. (AP) - Democrat Barack Obama opened the door Thursday to refining his plan to bring U.S. troops home from Iraq in 16 months based on what he hears from military commanders during his upcoming trip there.
“I am going to do a thorough assessment when I’m there,” he told reporters on the airport tarmac here. “I’m sure I’ll have more information and continue to refine my policy.”
During his presidential campaign, Obama has gone from the hard-edged, vocal opposition to Iraq that defined his early candidacy to more nuanced rhetoric that calls for a phased-out drawdown of all combat brigades that, at a rate of one or two a month, could last 16 months. He has said that if al-Qaida builds bases in Iraq, he would keep troops either in the country or the region to carry out “targeted strikes.”
Republicans, who have been goading Obama to return to Iraq to see conditions for himself, pounced.
“There appears to be no issue that Barack Obama is not willing to reverse himself on for the sake of political expedience,” said Alex Conant, a spokesman for the national Republican Party. “Obama’s Iraq problem undermines the central premise of his candidacy and shows him to be a typical politician.”
Obama’s GOP rival, John McCain, has been a vocal supporter of the Iraq war and war policy has been a central disagreement between the two candidates.
But Obama insisted that his position has not changed at all.
He said he is saying now what he always has: The war was a mistake and needs to be brought to “a responsible end,” but “we need to be as careful getting out as we were careless getting in.” This means, he said, that his 16-month timeline “was always premised on” not endangering either U.S. troops or Iraq’s stability, which he had previously been told by commanders was possible.
“I’m going to continue to gather information to see whether those conditions still hold,” he said. “My goal is to end this conflict as soon as possible.”
Obama’s Web site contains this direct promise about Iraq: “Obama will immediately begin to remove our troops from Iraq. He will remove one to two combat brigades each month, and have all of our combat brigades out of Iraq within 16 months. Obama will make it clear that we will not build any permanent bases in Iraq. He will keep some troops in Iraq to protect our embassy and diplomats; if al-Qaida attempts to build a base within Iraq, he will keep troops in Iraq or elsewhere in the region to carry out targeted strikes on al-Qaida.”
Although he did not specifically mention his 16-month timeline on Thursday, Obama called it “pure speculation” to suggest he has been softening or even backing off his position as violence lessens in Iraq.
“I continue to believe that it is a strategic error for us to maintain a long-term occupation in Iraq at a time when conditions in Afghanistan are worsening, al-Qaida is continuing to establish bases in areas of northwest Pakistan, resources there are severely strained and we are spending $10 to $12 billion a month in Iraq that we desperately need here at home, not to mention the strains on our military,” Obama said.
Obama plans a visit this summer to Jordan, Israel, Germany, France and the United Kingdom. The Illinois senator also has said he intends to visit Iraq and Afghanistan this summer as part of an official congressional trip that would be separate from the campaign-funded Mideast and European tour. It would be his second trip to Iraq.
Obama senior foreign policy adviser Susan Rice told reporters on a conference call that Obama would keep to his commitment to begin removing U.S. forces from Iraq “from the early days of his administration.” She said the 16-month timeline was based on “the best military advice that he has received” and that it appears to continue to be “still broadly applicable.”
“Obviously if there are fewer brigades or more brigades” there by the time a new administration takes office next year, she said, “that would adjust the timeline.”
Obama’s position has been that troops should only remain in Iraq to protect the U.S. embassy, engage in humanitarian efforts, and conduct counterterrorism operations. She said Obama would consider having the U.S. continue to train Iraqi police forces if they show some progress, “but he’s not interested in training one sector of Iraqi society to kill another.”
McCain was an early supporter of increasing the number of U.S. troops in Iraq as President Bush did last year. He wants to pursue the current counterinsurgency tactics to give Iraqis time to work out a political reconciliation. He has said he’s willing to see some U.S. troops stay there as much as 100 years but not if they are being wounded or killed in combat. Rather he supports keeping a military presence in that part of the world because of its volatility.
Puma’s sorry to step out…I promise I will catch up tomorrow…read evey post. If there is a comment on anything I’ve suggested I WILL read it tomorrow…
Good night felines

LOL! Legs crossed.
Barack has already fielded the VP slot to Hillary. Remember the meeting at Feinstein’s DC home? That is were the negotiations took place regarding her debt, regarding the June 7th speech, and the VP matter. Think about it. With all the visceral between the groups, Donna’s love for “us”, etc. His credibility is tanked as far as I am concerned and it was tanked prior…then Unity…what a laugh! Now, somehow he will convince HIS followers that Hillary really ROCKS…not following a magnanimous crowd’s suggestion. We know who she is. They don’t. She is better and owes him nothing, much less VP. If I am wrong, I will eat the cake. o.k.? (and I HATE sweets…ugggg)
One more inspiring thing from today regarding the letters in your inbox:
FROM MAMAPUMA
Today within one hour the PUMAs from this wesite sent over 12,000 emails to the DNC, and all the other politicians. But they also sent those letters to all of the major networks and all of the cable networks. They also sent those letters to the talk hosts on TV.
If we get media attention, we will be able to harness the power of millions. That is our job because we do not have millions of dollars.
Millions of voices - Voices of the Voters - are much more powerful than millions of dollars.
The letters to the politicians help us to get media attention and alert those politicians to the depth of our committment to this campaign.
PUMAs send those emails! Congratulations you are changing the world.

Where did you hear that? Diane F and she said they did not talk about her being VP.
138 go Rodham andersen, my post on this blog was partly for Brazilla but to other Obama supporters that may have that idea and are watching. If I thought I could change Donna’s mindset, I would have written it to her directly.
Okay - I just donated my $5.44 to McCain. I still can not remember when/why/who said to, but I just did it.
#118 Texassherry
If you email me I can forward it to Antifish and Goandersen.
Murphy is swamped with emails and I don’t know how long it will take her to do it.

#141 Jeremy Diane Feinstein said they did not talk about the VP slot from the news I heard. Actually, we don’t really know for sure what has been discussed, even with the 20 minute talk with the big dog. I even heard that *61 was going to have dinner with Bill (and Hillary?) in a day or two…that was when they talked a couple of days ago. I haven’t heard anything since.

I’ll try to find where I read it, I read it last weekend so it should still be in my history
Please everybody, go over to Peacocks and Lilies
http://annabellep.wordpress.com/
and read Annabellep’s articles.
She has a Declaration of Objectives to the DNC she wants everybody to circulate and e-mail to any and all interested parties you can think of.
She spells it out in the post The Revolution Will Be Downloaded.
I think it’s worth the effort.
Hello….PUMAS
Murphy, I love the picture…..
I wish I could go to Denver, but I live in Georgia, am broke, I don’t know anyone there and I’m 18, so I cannot legally get a hotel room
I found something interesting…..McCain is competing in NY, he opened a campaign office there and several new polls only show a five to six point gap there, could be interesting……

My positive attitude worked and our cheers of go, go, go, go worked. You’re here. Glad you’re back. What’s happening here?

That would be great if you could find it. If he did offer VP to her and she turned him down I will have to rethink what my next plan is.

Yes, it was downstairs somewhere. I posted everyone to keep a positive attitude, that you were here (lurking) and that you had come back (even though you hadn’t posted at that time). Everyone thought I was “nuts”, but they started cheering and kept it up every few minutes.

No worries. That issue has been resolved. Post away…..we love you.

“He has said he’s willing to see some U.S. troops stay there as much as 100 years but not if they are being wounded or killed in combat.”
All well and good, except for the fact that even if McCain wins the Presidential election, he won’t be President for 100 years. So that comment of his is off the table.
152 BillieJo on 07.04.08 at 12:15 am #141 Jeremy Diane Feinstein said they did not talk about the VP slot from the news I heard. Actually, we don’t really know for sure what has been discussed
I am repeating your last sentence above. My post is speculation, not fact. Hillary has too much more to offer this Country than being Barack Obama’s VP. That is my opinion and like I said, if I am wrong, I will eat the sweet crow….and I hate sweets, literally.
bo getting too big for britches. they put TONS of money into new tech equipment for media at pepsi center and now he thinks to go to invesco? Who going to pay?????

#174 Jeremy …I don’t want you to eat your words
I think Hillary is best as president, but much better than just a senator. VP or in his cabinet would be a move up, God knows women sometimes have to go the slower road to move up, and it would make it easier for her to rerun in four years and run again as president. I want the convention to nominate her in August, but if that doesn’t happen, I just hate the thought of her only having to be a junior senator.
