Cry Me a River?

Anyone remember this?

The silence across the blogosphere was deafening, no? And don’t forget folks — this New Republic cover didn’t ever pretend to be satire. This was SERIOUS journalism. Ahem.

Is Marc4Hill still here?

Marc4Hill…

Kucinich Democrat here.

When it came down to the two candidates: Senators Clinton and Obama, I was thrilled. I was in heaven. I knew we (Democrts) couldn’t lose after 8 years of GW and his failed policies. The US was ready for a change. Even Republicans were talking about voting for a Democrat!

Between the two, I knew the least about Senator Obama, so I gave him the bulk of my attention. I admit that I also had a conflicting vested interest in having a woman be our President in my lieftime, after an uninterrupted line of male presidents. The bottom line though, was: I would be happy with either.

I paid particular attention to Obama, even after weeks of “hope/change” (TM), I figured he was just setting the theme. Fine. Meanwhile, I heard (I wasn;t really listening) to Senator Clinton. After a couple of months, I realized that Senator Clinton was stating positions of substance and conviction, while Senator Obama was still doing, what became to me, the hopey-changey mantra. I became impatient for him to say something substantative.

Then came the race baiting. It made me, literally, physically ill. The blatant sexism and misogeny of the media was without parallel in my lifetime…(and, Im OLD). But still, I listened, and waited. And you know what? When he finally did start stating positions, I was pleased, until the next week, or with the next audience, he reversed himself, and denied, rationalized, and blamed others for misconstruing what he said. Problem was, I heard and understood what he said and I didn’t miscontrue anything.

The shenanighans of the primaries (i.e. his lawyers fighting to stop a revote in Michigan. Campaigning in Florida, etc.). Distanced me much further, and teh DNC RBC on May 31, cemented my support of Senator Clinton.

I’m not trying to bash your candidate. I know you must be disappointed. I was disappointed too, but I wasn’t invested, and I had a safety-net in Senator Clinton.
I’m just trying to explain the reasons I shifted from Obama to Clinton.

Sorry to ramble on, but it is who I am! ; )

If NObama and his camp are up-at-arms about the New Yorker magazine cover now, I wonder how they’ll feel in October when all sorts of ammunition will be coming his way! This is just a sample I guess, better get used to it.

#64 Jeremy on 07.14.08 at 11:58 pm

Interesting, I guess. Grabbed this tidbit posted at Taylor Marsh’s site. I thought there was going to be a Roll Call Vote? Obviously I missed something.

“No Way Obama will Allow a Roll Call Vote

All the more reason for Obama to make sure that there is no roll call including Clinton’s name on the ballot at the national convention — which a few die hard fans of the former First Lady are still clamoring for.

Why highlight just how close the Democratic contest really was? And there is certainly no gain for Obama in dwelling on how he had to depend on super delegates to win the nomination.

Opening up that fissure on the convention floor with a roll call vote is not the answer and people trumpeting that prospect are not serving Hillary or the Democratic Party. They are also making the situation worse among disaffected Hillary supporters on the grass roots level who are being given false hopes, while cable talk shows and media outlets exploit them and pump up these stories to help their own viewership, readership, or to help John McCain. Something the most earnest behind the convention floor fight push don’t want to do, even if they are affirmed in not voting for Senator Obama.

The truth is that the only thing that will really make many Hillary supporters happy, plus unify the party the most, is having Hillary on the ticket, though no one is holding their breath on that one.”

#65 Sunshinelvr on 07.14.08 at 11:59 pm

anti rumors are he only made 30 instead of the 100 million he promised. Plus he has people asking for their contributions back. interesting that I never heard of that happening with Hillary even after she suspended.

WORTH REPEATING

“I was listening to Will Bower on the Puma Blog radio last night and he made a point that we all need to adopt.
He said that there are two concepts that go on at the convention. The roll call and the ballot. The roll call can be considered just symbolic so it’s very important that we adopt the language that we want Hillary on the ballot (not just the roll call) –when being persistent with DNC and delegates. Please keep that language in mind when talking to Brazile’s office or any of the delegates. Think “ballot” — not just “roll call””

Excellent post. It’s important for people to realize that many of us did give Senator Obama serious consideration and did listen to what he had to say. If he had impressed us and earned our trust and confidence, as Hillary did, we’d be supporting him now. However, that was not the case.

Hi all,

#34 bruce5555

This is hysterical. I can’t stop laughing. The best thing is that MSM is JUST STARTING to go after Obama. The best thing would be when the two new books ( I can’t wait for it) will come out.

The man behind the mask–book about Obama will come out in a few weeks.

The case against Obama–will come out on Aug 4. I think that this author also wrote a book about Kerry just before 2004 elections.

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/images/1596985666/sr=1-11/qid=1216095140/ref=dp_image_0?ie=UTF8&n=283155&s=books&qid=1216095140&sr=1-11

These books should be incredible. Obama has no idea about what’s coming. ;) This is great! I love it!

HILLARY ON THE BALLOT. Got it. Ok to say both we want Hillary in the roll call and on the ballot?

Btw, have you all seen the cartoon we’ve found that proves that Obama is bilingual?

#127 Wizard on 07.15.08 at 12:26 am

STARDUST, PROWLLAND, EWARD, RoxinCalif – join the fun with us and Trish – its really rewarding to find those elusive Obama superdelegates – we have all done the lobbydelegates Prowlland – especially for Hillary and the undecideded – but we want to mass email those Obama supporters and get their phone numbers , faxes and email addresses – using lobbydelegates you can not obtain that – so all join in the fun – send Trish an email and volunteer – you will be so happy – I am
Thank you Trish for my new list tomorrow – already working on it.

Nice job already Prowlland – and DANCES WITH PUMAS – YES MAYOR1020 is on vacation.

Is Mo only on leave from her job???

#111 anonymous Just put this in.
To all of you who say “if you were real Democrats you would support Obama because his and Hillary’s positions are the same.”
What positions I ask. I won’t list the flip flops, thats been done to death. How can anyone believe he really supports anything?
HRC has years of working for her stated positions. What has Obama got? Flip flops.
Oh and I’m and independent not a democrat.

#137 Jeremy on 07.15.08 at 12:31 am

O.K. DWP—Thanks for that clarification. I appreciate it. I have broken down these comments. Read and read again. After about the 2 or 3 time, you get the message.

“All the more reason for Obama to make sure that there is no roll call including Clinton’s name on the ballot at the national convention — which a few die hard fans of the former First Lady are still clamoring for.”

******************************************
—OPT: PUMAS have credibility. It is beyond the “get over it” phase. Growl!

“Opening up that fissure on the convention floor with a roll call vote is not the answer and people trumpeting that prospect are not serving Hillary or the Democratic Party”
*********************************************
—OPT: PUMAs are here to stay. We are not a fluke that bubbled up in some ditch water.

“They are also making the situation worse among disaffected Hillary supporters on the grass roots level who are being given false hopes, while cable talk shows and media outlets exploit them and pump up these stories to help their own viewership, readership, or to help John McCain.”
*********************************************
—OPT: Must be referring to the PUMA Growls and Prowls. Obviously did the intended purpose hit a goal.

“Something the most earnest behind the convention floor fight push don’t want to do, even if they are affirmed in not voting for Senator Obama.”

—OPT: Must be talking about those pledged delegates and maybe SD that have remorse in their decision, but for some reason beyond their control, don’t have the guts to speak out. What an interesting pre-covention interlude this has become. And without Murphy and all the rest of the pac’s hard work, fight, and dedication—the “kitten” who wrote this synopsis would be purring more and gurgling on “fur balls” less.

This is a link that MURPHY had in the top ‘Cry Me A River’ heading. If you missed the link, not only is the article about PUMA great but the youTube clip is fantastic. ‘I thought I knew you’, song by the Beatles. Toes are a tappin’ as you watch the clip.

Boy, we have some great video talent in the PUMA den.
Too bad we don’t have these clips saved to a media section on the website to keep tabs on forever, especially when we get blue.

would you believe i got kicked out of my own blog on Obamas site??? Now i wonder why?? Was it because it was under the name of sandipuma??? Was it because i said Hillary was the beat candidate???Was it because i called him a flip-flopper of 9 flip-flops in 2 weeks.Well at least his camp wrote me a letter thanking me for all my comments. Geesh can’t a girl try.I went into 40 of their blogs to and left messages like shame on you Barack Obama. You voted for telcom. Senator Clinton didn’t.

#173 Wizard on 07.15.08 at 12:42 am

BILLIEJO – Calling you too – you have been a big supporter all along

OK – Thanks Stardust and Sheila7 for offering to help Trish with the project – as you know she has been doing a complete listing of superdelegates with all the pertinent info – Clinton and Undecided were fairly simple and almost done – but the slippery superdelegates of the slippery you know who are not so easy – you have to research on the internet to track em down – but it is SOOOO rewarding when you find them – point of all of this is that if our lady Hillary is going to win this nomination – we have to mass email on several levels – those that aborted her at the end and went to him – those that are still undecided and those that went with him whose State or district voted for Hillary – if we can just get 150 or so delegates over to Hillary – she has the nomination – providing the DNC doesn’t screw her over – so thats the stakes here – big ones at best.

THANK YOU MURPHY – YOU HAVE WELCOMED ME HERE AND IT IS A PLEASURE TO BE SURE.

Plan to kill the PUMA.
Step 1 – join PUMA, send an email to join@pumapac.com
Step 2 – When you start receiving prowl info,
take note of the contact info and message
Step 3 – Contact the people they are contacting and
tell them that PUMA is a GOP swiftboat and
tell them to ignore the PUMA’s emails

#191 MountainSong on 07.15.08 at 12:49 am

I still don’t think there is even going to BE an election. I believe Israel is going to attack Iran before Bush and Olmert have leave office. And then Bush will suspend elections in the interest of National Security because we may well be on the brink of World War III.
Reason for believing this: The USA already has its Delta Force and others in Iran on covert missions to foment political turmoil and to mark targets so our jets and missles can lock on pre-set targets. Friends in the service say they believe this also and that they think the proverbial poop is about to hit the fan.
Obama claims to have a plan to end the war in Iraq at the same time the Pentagon is planning to escalate the entire Mideast theater. The last thing our military wants is Obama as Commander in Chief.

An Old Newness
By Thomas Sowell
Rose and Milton Friedman Senior Fellow
The Hoover Institution
Stanford! University
Stanford, California 94305

April 29, 2008

Many years ago, a great hitter named Paul Waner was nearing the end of his long career. He entered a ballgame with 2,999 hits, one hit away from the landmark total of 3,000, which so many hitters want to reach, but which relatively few actually do reach.

Waner hit a ball that the fielder did not handle cleanly but the official scorer called it a hit, making it Waner’s 3,000th. Paul Waner then sent word to the official scorer that he did not want that questionable hit to be the one that put him over the top.

The official scorer reversed himself and called it an error. Later Paul Waner got a clean hit for number 3,000!

What reminded me of this is the great fervor that many seem to feel over the prospect of the first black President of the United States .

No doubt it is only a matter of time before there is a black president, just as it was only a matter of time before Paul Waner got his 3,000th hit. The issue is whether we want to reach that landmark so badly that we are willing to overlook how questionably that landmark is reached.

Paul Waner had too much pride to accept a scratch hit. Choosing a President of the United States is a lot more momentous than a baseball record. We the voters need to have far more concern about who we put in that office that holds the destiny of a nation and of generations yet unborn.

There is no reason why someone as arrogant, foolishly clever and ultimately dangerous as Barack Obama should become president, especially not at a time when the threat of international terrorists with nuclear weapons looms over 300 million Americans.

Many people seem to regard elections as occasions for venting emotions, like cheering for your favorite team or choosing a Homecoming Queen.

The three leading candidates for their party’s nomination are being discussed in terms of their demographics, race, sex and age, as if that is what the job is about.

One of the painful aspects of studying great catastrophes of the past is discovering how many times people were preoccupied with trivialities when they were teetering on the edge of doom. The demographics of the presidency are far less important than the momentous weight of responsibility that office carries.

Just the power to nominate federal judges to trial courts and appellate courts across the country, including the Supreme Court, can have an enormous impact for decades to come. There is no point feeling outraged by things done by federal judges, if you vote on the basis of emotion for those who appoint them.

Barack Obama has already indicated that he wants judges who make social policy instead of just applying the law. He ha s already tried to stop young violent criminals from being tried as adults.

Although Senator Obama has presented himself as the candidate of new things, using the mantra of “change” endlessly, the cold fact is that virtually everything he says about domestic policy is straight out of the 1960s and virtually everything he says about foreign policy is straight out of the 1930s.

Protecting criminals, attacking business, increasing government spending, promoting a sense of envy and grievance, raising taxes on people who are productive and subsidizing those who are not; all this is a re-run of the 1960s.

We paid a terrible price for such 1960s notions in the years that followed, in the form of soaring crime rates, double-digit inflation and double-digit unemployment. During the 1960s, ghettoes across the countries were ravaged by riots from which many have not fully recovered to this day.

The violence and destruction were concentrated not where there was the greatest poverty or injustice but where there were the most liberal politicians, promoting grievances and hamstringing the police.

Internationally, the approach that Senator Obama proposes, including the media magic of meetings between heads of state, was tried during the 1930s. That approach, in the name of peace, is what led to the most catastrophic war in human history.

Everything seems new to those too young to remember the old and too ignorant of history to have heard about it.

Could be why Hillary is playing so nice.
Also the section on challenging delegates. If voter suppression or fraud can be proved delegates can be invalidated. I think thats what it means. A lot to look into.

DANCES WITH…from your post downstairs (too lazy to go back and find # & content-relying on memory here- not a good thing).

Anyway- the race card. Let me say, I am a white woman, worked in health care my whole life- inner-city projects and upper middle class- white, black, asian, latinos, russian-jewish immigrants… you get the picture.

Let me say, the Clintons are not racists. I am not a racist. I am tired of being called a racist by the white elitists who swirl their chardonnay or double decaf lattes feeling good about themselves because they have found an African-American that they feel good about..

I have always loved Jesse Jackson, been to demonstrations where he addressed the crowds- incredible speaker. Would vote for him in a heart beat (knows what the hell he is doing and stands by his convictions!)

The whole point about The New Yorker cover is a little thing called the FIRST AMENDMENT!! Don’t have to agree with it. You are not a racist if you support the first amendment.

Lord knows, I would have been carried out long ago without the first amendment!

Sorry for the rant, had a conversation w/ a kool-aide gulper and now I am all riled up again!

Haven’t posted before but have been a member for awhile and sent my letters today. Just stopped in to stay that at the end of ABC Nightline tonight they asked for responses about the New Yorker cover. I commented to the effect that Obama needed to get a thicker skin and was a cry baby to deflect attention from his FISA vote and other flip flop. I put PUMA at the end of the post. Am just sharing this in case other Pumas want to go and comment. Here is the link:

We were talking about Hillary when he came in and he said to me “we will do that b**ch in and all old people loke you and use the youger ones for our slaves and take your homes from you
when Obama gets in. I said really well where do you live?? In lala land and then he pushe me.

#272 sheila7 on 07.15.08 at 1:12 am

I have mixed feelings on that. I think it allows him to play the victim (again) and will get people to stop talking about what a flip-flopper he is.

#294 pumalynn on 07.15.08 at 1:20 am

I’m not completely sure that Obama was all that offended by the cover. It has been Axelrod’s constant tactic to play the sympathy card whenever his candidate has done something stupid like FISA. He knows he’s in trouble and is trying divert attention to the New Yorker thing which in the end doesn’t really mean anything. The cover will not change anyone’s mind about him. It’s a faux discussion to muddy the waters I think.

“Plan to kill the PUMA.
Step 1 – join PUMA, send an email to join@pumapac.com
Step 2 – When you start receiving prowl info,
take note of the contact info and message
Step 3 – Contact the people they are contacting and
tell them that PUMA is a GOP swiftboat and
tell them to ignore the PUMA’s emails”

http://texashillblog.wordpress.com/2008/07/14/a-
plan-to-kill-puma-rofl/

I posted there earlier this evening.
All the email sent from pumapac is blindcopied…
So they’ll have to come up with a new plan.

Besides, it doesn’t matter if PUMA is a “swiftboat” or “GOP” entity… we’ve all reached the same conclusion independantly of each other. If this movement disappeared (heaven forbid) tomorrow, I’d still know what my goal is… and I’d still act on it.

One of the things I said in response to the accusations regarding Murphy being a Republican? I said if all Republicans were like Murphy, I’d change my party registration from Democrat to Republican.

#301 mathman233 on 07.15.08 at 1:23 am

I heard about PUMA on MSNBC and CNN – it is brought up from time-to-time. Since the DNC meeting, I really did not believe that Hillary had a chance. Now, I am beginning to have second thoughts.

I am going to say one thing, wait until 1:35, then take 2 benadryl, hope i’m knocked out so I can go to bed.

There has been an increasing emphasis on the state polls for this election. The Obamabots are going crazy over polls which show BO leading in CO, NV, VA etc. This is worrisome…..McCain needs to step on it, we need to focus on individual states to make sure BO does not win. Remember the GE is not by popular vote (although it should be) We need to find a way to target people in key states not to vote for BO…..whether its Nader, staying at home, McCain, etc. I am hoping McCain will begin running ads soon…..I can see a McCain victory over BO (if he is the nominee) but its going to take effort. I think ive been cursed by the Obamabots

PLEASE HELP ME!!!!!!!! :(

It should be a bloody requirement of the DNC to have an easily accessible email or fax number to become a Superdelegate.

At least one of the ones I had to research was a totally hot single woman. *sigh* The Democratic Party Chair in Kentucky was to die for. She was originally undeclared and was trying to get Obama to declare Clinton as VP (so she can’t be all bad). Here’s the picture for anyone interested:

#321 snowtiger on 07.15.08 at 1:30 am

#309 Matt,
I wouldn’t worry. Remember when Newsweek had “o” up by 15? Remember during the primaries that 61 never did as well as the polls said he would?
The msm keeps loading polls for “O’. They won’t stop. Problem being we keep catching on and now the nationals have to start telling a more truthful version.
I bet the state polls are as biased as the nationals used to be.

#322 mathman233 on 07.15.08 at 1:32 am

Is it taboo to mention his name here?

#323 matt2008A on 07.15.08 at 1:32 am

I know we need to focus on Hillary….but the only way Hillary is going to win the nomination…….is BO losing in state and national polls. National polls show it close…but some state polls give BO an edge. Many sites are predicting a BO landslide. The individual states are going to have a lot of controlling interest.

#324 pumalynn on 07.15.08 at 1:33 am

mathman233:
You are right that the cover will offer some what they always thought but the interesting thing is that most of those people don’t read the New Yorker and wouldn’t never have seen it without the media hype.

“We need to focus on Hillary winning, not promoting McCain.”
________________________

Spot on! We need to stay focussed on Denver and getting Senator on the ballot, and convincing Super Delegates of the reasons they should cast their votes for her.

Many folks who may be voting for McCain, will do so ONLY if Senator Clinton isn’t the nominee. I’m holding out for Senator Clinton… and decide what I will do, after the Convention and before Nov 4.

#326 pa dem on 07.15.08 at 1:34 am

mathman, we have plenty of time to promote McCain after the convention if the DNC doesn’t wake up.

Maryland: but because he is in DC, Will gets on TV sooo much, and he is quite attractive to watch (yes, I know, I can’t believe I’m saying it either) b/c he is soo well spoken. So I don’t feel too badly for him.

#327 Maryland PUMA on 07.15.08 at 1:34 am

Mathman

PUMA Members are free to NOT vote Obiewannacannoli however they wish.

Some will vote McCain, some will write HRC in if allowed, some will stay home, some will vote 3rd party. (Green party’s lookin good too.)

PUMAs respect each other enough to allow each member their individual choice.

We’re here to fix the Dem party (or start a NEW one!) and are not affiliated with any candidate or campaign.

#328 bluesgal on 07.15.08 at 1:34 am

Mathman, MSNBC MENTIONED PUMA. WOW!!!! I haven’t watched MSNBC in a long long time. I have watched CNN a few times, on certain shows. Fox is on quite alot.

If you have any questions about the PUMA site, just ask and we all will try to help and you too PUMALYNN.

#329 Always4Hil on 07.15.08 at 1:34 am

I just wanted to share the letter to the editor I sent to my paper the Dallas Morning News, as well as the LA Times and the Washington Post(just emailed all of them tonight)!

I hope the DNC and Obama and his “movement” are starting to understand that there are millions of Democrats who are not moving. We are not united, but divided. We are tired of the DNC drones and their selected candidate Obama trying to take the democracy out of the Democratic party. They hijacked the election as it is, and now they are trying to prevent Hillary Clintons name from being put on the convention ballot as a nominee. She has the right, as other candidates before her, to have her delegates counted, a roll call taken. Sen. Clinton has millions of supporters, and we are not going to just fall in line, now or ever. We will not be bullied or belittled by our own party or any other. Prior to this election, I was a proud Democrat, now I am contemplating leaving the party. As Susan B. Anthony once said, “No self respecting woman should wish or work for the success of a party that ignores her.”

#330 antifish on 07.15.08 at 1:35 am

#309 matt,

I think we worry too much my fellow Puma. There is a reason McCain is so laid back. I give BO one week after the convention if the party doesn’t nominate Hillary. I’m telling you, they have something. I mean, McCain isn’t really even campaigning!

#331 DancesWithPumas on 07.15.08 at 1:35 am

#333 queen81 on 07.15.08 at 1:35 am

Matt

I agree with you that the focus is on nominating Hillary. However should BO be the nominee I see anything but a landslide for him. I feel quite confidant that the Republicans have plenty of ammo on reserve. They are just waiting for BO to be the official nominee because I think they are terrified of going head to head with Hillary.

You can call obiewannacannoli whatever you like as long as it’s not racist or derogatory. For instance, please don’t call him by his middle name. We really frown on that – it’s borderline racist and not representative of PUMA PAC and it’s members.

#336 snowtiger on 07.15.08 at 1:36 am

Obiewannacanoli? Roflmao. Thats a new one for me.

#337 pumalynn on 07.15.08 at 1:36 am

I haven’t seen the polls of state to which you are referring but I was encouraged today that for the first time the MSM started to call it a “dead heat”. Also there was a poll on ABC asking people if they which candidate seemed like a presidential leader (not sure of the wording) but McCain was in the 80% range and Obama about 45%. I’ve never heard this on the regular news channels before because up until now if it wasn’t good for Obama they didn’t speak of it.

#338 JackieA on 07.15.08 at 1:36 am

Does anyone know what happened to Brian Knoxsville TN? Did Brian change her/his user name like Mayor?
Brian posted quite a bit in the beginning. I was not always able to read all the posts, might have missed something.

#339 freddiebrown on 07.15.08 at 1:37 am

I think it would be a great reminder if one of the consistent early bloggers would indicate daily how many days till Denver.

Just to keep things in perspective and to add a bit of urgency to all we do from now until then. 40 days is way too precious little time – it will be here before we know it.

Perhaps some volunteers? Being from California, there is no way we can blog early.

Bluesgal – glad you’re asking people where they heard bout Puma blog – so we can target more if there is a pattern.

OK – gotta be up for work and flying back to San Diego tomorrow. I think I did enough trouble with my posters in Atlanta – well, one last day tomorrow wouldn’t hurt.

#340 hillstheone on 07.15.08 at 1:39 am

Hi sandipuma!
I hope you saw my earlier post telling you how I always laugh thinking of you posting on O’s websites!

Today I sent the video about O w/the Beatles song ‘Nowhere Man’ to my favorite radio station cause one of the announcers likes O & I hope you’re laughing! ;D

Mathman, yes you can mention OBAMA here. Some call him BO, OB, NONAME, 67, etc.

#349 hillstheone on 07.15.08 at 1:43 am

TOPIC: The Denver Group’s ad

You know maybe it was a mistake to print that Fantastic ad w/the spot-on message in a Chicago newspaper first. As I have seen absolutely no coverage in the news about it and it was _definitely_ newsworthy. Any reporter worth his salt would write about it.

Media censoring itself? WHo knows but I hope they go for the NY Times next as I believe the writers there would either do a long story about them or at least mention the ad in passing.

What gives??

Well let’s see if anyone in the media wakes up by Thursday or Friday, OR if they’re all just asleep.

#356 lotts1948 on 07.15.08 at 1:46 am

I’m on here late, because I work (at home) until midnight; sort of aggravating because I have to really concentrate on work and if I take a break, it’s only a small break, so I miss out on the posts here until I get done. I’m here in Texas, near Amarillo.

I saw something about Puma on HRC’s site and I came over and checked it out and ka-boom.. I felt at home… but I will say this one thing. Even prior to finding out about Puma, with the way the “so-called” news was playing it, I had already decided if HRC did not get the nomination, I was NEVER going to vote for Nobama. I kept listening to him debate her and knew there was nothing there. Besides that, I admit I had followed and researched the many things she has done in her career since President Clinton came up for election the first time. Her resume is extremely impressive. I was so inspired by her work to try to get Universal Health Care while President Bill Clinton was in office and just blown away by her intelligence and honesty. I admire and respect President Clinton for all he did while he was Governor of Arkansas and POTUS.. but I admire everything HRC did as well. There is simply no contest between HRC and Nobama. When she “suspended” her campaign, though, I was in mourning.. so I am glad I found this site. It’s been amazing and it has gotten me going again. I believe we can make a difference, because there are so many people here who also believe we can make a difference. And thank goodness for all of you!!!!

They showed the ad on FOX today when Heidi Li Feldman was interviewed there. I don’t know about other coverage though. Evidently they had a good response from the ad after it ran. I am in suburbia so the ad wasn’t in my edition however.

#359 alohapuma on 07.15.08 at 1:48 am

anitfish…

I agree. McCain isn’t really campaigning! My take is he doesn’t want to waste precious resources (the mere 85 million he needs to scrape by) on a presumptive nominee who shoots himself in the foot on a daily basis. He waiting in the weeds.

#360 hillstheone on 07.15.08 at 1:48 am

TOPIC: This coming Saturday

Are there other events planned for this Saturday besides the one in Portland? I’d like to know because the RHR folks want me to help them w/media outreach.

But I’m tired-er than a good PUMA should be so I think I am headed to bed & will check back for answers tomorrow.

Goodnight antifish, snowtiger, sandipuma & our new poster mathman and everyone else.

I heard that paid bloggers (and trolls) use numbers at the end of their user names to verify their posts. No accusations here…because I don’t know much about this world. Is this true???

I assume anyone posting here has been cleared until proven otherwise, so please no personal offense. Educating myself.

I think McCain just wants to wait. After all look at whats happened already. If this goes on much longer McCAin will win by default

nite hillstheone!

#372 sheila7 on 07.15.08 at 1:54 am

pumalynn,
the sad thing about that interview was how disrespectful he was of her. then I watched him with the next guest (man from here in St. Louis about inbev, don’t get me going on that!) and he started to be rude with him and the guy spoke over him and then he stopped. Double Standard! I thought it was ironic considering the sexism we are fighting against. What was his name? Kyle McShane or something like that?

#373 NoMoreInFL on 07.15.08 at 1:55 am

Great reading tonight or should I say morning! As *61 is more exposed…Hillary in 2008 will be a reality!

I have heard this also and i know you know I am not a troll but the reason I have a number behind mine is because I tried to sign up as sheila and it said taken so I kept putting a number after until it took it. LOL.

That would be a new one on me, but then again, I don’t get out of the back room of PUMA PAC often.

If they are, I find it humorous that they’ve been infiltrated like they proposed to infiltrate us.

#377 pumalynn on 07.15.08 at 1:58 am

sheila7
Yes, he was very rude and kept interrupting her. I don’t know his name but I know a bunch of people at the blog I am on sometimes were sending messages to Cavuto about his replacement. I thought Heidi held her own and remained polite and accentuated how awful he was. Of course, that tactic is fairly typical of Fox interview style.

#378 Vonay on 07.15.08 at 1:59 am

lotts1948………… WELCOME! We’re very happy you are here.

Heidi did hold her own and it did accentuate how awful he was. I felt bad for her at first but she did a good job handling him.

#380 alohapuma on 07.15.08 at 2:01 am

I understand the problem. One of the reasons I haven’t posted here before is that I didn’t sign up for a user account when I joined. Then tonight I tried to use my usual WordPress name and password and found that I couldn’t. I kept changing my name and passwords until something finally took.

#13 DancesWithPumas,

That was a great post.

I’m a little biased X-New Yorker because my first choices were between Hillary and Guiliani, but when he dropped out it was Hillary all the way.

As to Mr O, I saw through him from get-go.

I was most concered about the young people and how very disappointed they were going to be once they found out he was just another politician and that he was using their numbers for photo opts.

While George Bush used pretty little signs in back of him to match his suit and tie, Mr O used people, plain and simple!

#386 snowtiger on 07.15.08 at 2:03 am

Heidi was great considering all but with a decent interviewer she would have been able to make a few more coherent points. Some were worried that the way he cut her off all the time fragmented the information for folks who know nothing about the movement. We “got it” because we already know but it’s hard to say how others perceived it.

I agree. He was trying to make her look illogical and like a “hysterical” woman but I think she responded firmly enough that she was taken seriously by most. I wish he would’ve let her talk more but at least there was some exposure and coverage.

alohapuma..

it could be true, I’m not sure.. but the reason I have 1948 after mine is it is the year of my birth. lotts is my real last name and my first name is Lavenia; don’t mind telling anybody. I’ve been a member here for a while, although I’m glad to be welcomed..LOL.. but I guarantee I am no troll. I’m not as accustomed to all the troll sites as some people might be; the most experience I have had with an Obamabot is on GretaWire and the worst ones have all kinds of different names.. anyway, not that you were accusing me, but I did think I just might clear that up.

FOX has been this way with most all of the women from different parts of our movement but he was the worst so far I think. Perhaps if enough folks complain about him since he was a “fill in” she might get another go at it. Of course FOX isn’t there to advance DEM causes but they like the controversy.

I’m no expert, but from what I’ve heard around the blogs, Obama’s paid bloggers have two digits after their names. That’s not to imply that anyone here is, but if you are out on the web, be on the lookout.

i think i will complain and i will write neil cavuto and ask him specifically to redo the interview.

“I’m no expert, but from what I’ve heard around the blogs, Obama’s paid bloggers have two digits after their names. That’s not to imply that anyone here is, but if you are out on the web, be on the lookout.”

That’s rumor has been around for a while. My guess is they would have changed their system after everyone found out about the “code”.

I’d rather not view someoen with numbers behind their name as paid bloggers for Obama. I think it’s divisive, and maybe that was the intention of the rumor, to divide.

Who cares anyway? What are they gonna do? Change our minds and intentions?

#424 Maryland PUMA on 07.15.08 at 2:20 am

#425 sheila7 on 07.15.08 at 2:21 am

i have also heard they have 4 numbers after them but like i said it’s hard to say because they could be like me or lotts1948, there could be many reasons for numbers behind the name so i think just have your eyes and ears open because they usually do sound scripted.

[[ Why highlight just how close the Democratic contest really was? And there is certainly no gain for Obama in dwelling on how he had to depend on super delegates to win the nomination.

Opening up that fissure on the convention floor with a roll call vote is not the answer and people trumpeting that prospect are not serving Hillary or the Democratic Party]]

I’ve never in my life heard of such an assinine thing… Let’s not do a roll call because then the tv views might realize that Hillary won both the big states and the electorial map. What a bunch of idiots.

Conventions always have a roll call…. Geeze…

I mean… listen to this idiot,

Come August 25th Mr Dean says, we will be getting together at our National Convention to nominate BHO.

Somebody ought to tell him that BHO is only the presumtive nominee and that the whole purpose of Conventions is to nominate, as in chose from or vote for the nominee of your delegate choice.

Plan to kill the PUMA.
Step 1 – join PUMA, send an email to join@pumapac.com

Step 2 – When you start receiving prowl info,
take note of the contact info and message

Step 3 – Contact the people they are contacting and
tell them that PUMA is a GOP swiftboat and
tell them to ignore the PUMA’s emails

Thanks antifish and sheila7.
Actually I was for Obama way back because he was the local guy and I lived in Hyde Park a few years ago. But it was a rather disinterested endorsement. When the campaign season started and I started listening to the debates etc. Hillary just blew me away. There are many other reasons I can’t abide BO but in the very beginning of my blog I explain why I couldn’t support him.

Welcome to Murphy’s blog.

I think the media left us with no choice but to fend for ourselves; because they weren’t telling us the truth. Wasn’t until May 31st that we all saw what was going on. And here we all were just sitting back and waiting for a resolution that never happened.

Media knew what was drawing us to watch… they knew it wasn’t just about race or gender; and they did nothing to stop it… to stop the untruth of it all.

So yeah… I know what you mean… it feels kind of lonely out there not knowing where to turn.

Hello Pumas,

I just emailed 16 letters to papers in my state and a few across the country. FYI, letters to the editors at the NYT, CS Monitor, WP and so on have to be original letters that were not sent to other media outlets. I am planning to compose new ones for each paper.

What a great day!

I am interested in sending letters to *61′s superdelegates. It’s late and I will gather the necessary information on Tuesday.

Go Team Pumas!!!!!!!!!!!

It sounds like a fun trip and it is good to have several people because one person notices something that another person doesn’t. Of course, young people and parent types look at schools quite differently anyway.
It’s great you are finishing college. The one here is quite good and my daughters feel more comfortable exploring their interests there rather than committing to a 4 year plan in the beginning.

I just donated $50.00 to PUMApac. I’m hoping to donate more. I maxed out my donations to pay down Clinton’s debt and am hoping to help here.

#501 Kerri on 07.15.08 at 3:19 am

wow. YOu guys have been BUSY as usual. Lovin it. My only problemis…I always come here AFTER I’ve done all my blogging. I’m tired and my brain fried. :/ Yet, I firmly believe it’s more important to be ‘on the prowl’ and in top form. Coming here rejuvenates me though. I feel like I miss out on a lot of fun though. It’s just not possible for me to respond to all the articles, do my reading bits and maintain conversation here as well. There’s just TOO MUCH TO DO in a PUMA’s day!
I’m with the suggestion of getting the NYer cover t-shirts though. I’d shell out thirty bucks for that any day of the week. That thing is ART!
Why does everyone worry so much about troll infestation? Murphy’s great at keeping this a friendly place for us all…but surely bots are lurking. And so? I don’t have anything to hide. Shoot, I spend hours each day proclaiming as best I can! I donno, I’m just not scared of trolls…or people with opinions. What can they do to us? Nothing. They can try and slander us, but heck, we’ve got inspiration on how to stand up under adversity, do we not?
Mmmm. I am too tired to think of writing one more letter, else I’d help with the super delegate talking points. I love how it was broken down and I agree, talking about the possible reasons why someone would choose to vote for Obama is more of an attractive dialogue style, in my opinion, than bulleting various facts.
Too bad I’m done for the night. But uh, I will look tomorrow and hope that said letter is prominently displayed, numerous times, please, if need be. :) VERY valuable!

#499: that’s b/c many of the national polls are rigged. we’ve had pumas say that pollsters have hung up on them as soon as they heard they were voting for Hillary. Also, many pumas are now telling pollsters they are independents, so on the face of things, it looks like he hasn’t lost party support, but he has.

I choose to believe the AOL straw poll and its lovely shades of red.

Not in never-never-land… I am in, ABSOLUTELY FUMING LAND!

There is only one thing wrong with looking at history… cause in this convention, Mr O is rewriting all the rules.

And because none of us know what they are right now… we kind of feel helpless… hence our anxiety to do whatever we can to make it happen!

Wow. I never wrote to a newspaper before. Recieving emails that say I will know within 3-10 days wether or not they will publish my manuscripts and letters is…weird.
I would just about fall over DEAD if I got that notice.
K, I’ve thanked you twice now Murphy…but yeah..thanks again! The template helped…I used the bullets as is and personalized all the talking parts.
I’m not one for ever being able to remember specificities. Like, I’m a voracioius reader, I like to stay educated and continue to learn on subjects that interest me. I’ll digest the information and add it to my understanding of said subject. Then I change and remember the essence and big pictures. This makes me well informed, however, what it also does is allow me to look like a BS artist a bit. Because, inevitably, there’s someone who says, oh yeah, where’d you hear that? And I’m like….uh…I don’t remember. :/ That’s why having a current list of issues in front of me helps, because otherwise I’ll spin it into more humanized, general information. But yeah, “my manuscript has been received”…hah. So wow.

Only actions I’ve done are getting the word out via mouth and blogs. I do hope that we get something doing in a near location soon (that’s not at dawn, please Gods!) We’re just hooking up locally here…and local is a general term as well. But…we do what we can, we do what we can.

It wasn’t my idea….I forget who, but in perusing the ‘downstairs’ blog someone suggested doing up the shirts and using the profits to pay down Hill’s debt. I didn’t see any response to it, for some reason. I was like..>HECK YEAH….WHAT a way to get the message out. People will be coming up to you all day long. There may have been response after somewhere that I missed. I donno. I realized I was downstairs instead of upstairs and only skimmed the necessities.
Can we get this shirt though? I guarantee you it’s gonna be printed up. Maybe there are copyright infringement laws or something though. I donno. Then again, if you change one little detail that makes it a different piece of art and then it’s not. Ha ha! I say we add a big pitcher of Kool-aid on the desk..with the grin and all.

Good morning,
I know I don’t post often, but I am always checking in and reading. I was thinking, that in response to the New Yorker cover and the wounded outcries of the Obama campaign and the media, and in contrast to no outcry that occurred re: the cover posted by Murphy above and other reprehensible sexist anti-Clinton objets d’art, such as the Hillary Nutcracker, why don’t we launch a PUMA Prowl mass email to the media pointing out the contrasts to make our point about the treatment of the two candidates? Well, that is my contribution for today. Have a great one, everyone! :)

Big Trouble On The Hill For Obama
Hill Democrats Miffed at Obama

After a brief bout of Obamamania, some Capitol Hill Democrats have begun to complain privately that Barack Obama’s presidential campaign is insular, uncooperative and inattentive to their hopes for a broad Democratic victory in November.

“They think they know what’s right and everyone else is wrong on everything,” groused one senior Senate Democratic aide. “They are kind of insufferable at this point.”

Among the grievances described by Democratic leadership insiders:

• Until a mailing that went out in the past few days, Obama had done little fundraising for Democratic candidates since signing off on e-mailed fundraising appeals for the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee and Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee immediately after securing the Democratic nomination.

• Obama has sometimes appeared in members’ districts with no advance notice to lawmakers, resulting in lost opportunities for those Democrats to score points by appearing alongside their party’s presumptive presidential nominee.

• The Obama campaign has not, until very recently, coordinated a daily message with congressional Democrats, leaving Democratic members in the lurch when they’re asked to comment on the constant back and forth between Obama and John McCain — as they were when Obama said earlier this month that he would “continue to refine” his Iraq policies after meeting with commanders on the ground there.

• Coordination between the Obama campaign and the House and Senate leadership is so weak that Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) — who will chair the Democrats’ convention in August — didn’t know of Obama’s decision to move his final-night acceptance speech from the Pepsi Center to Invesco Field until the campaign announced it on a conference call with reporters.

Obama is falling fast!

Yes, but he will not crash quickly because he wears an empty suit and it keeps him afloat for awhile.

Obama loves preaching to the choir, he spoke at the NACCP and they lapped up every word he had to say.

Imagine he had to explain to them that it was the duty of parents, whether a single parent or not, that they should read to their children, help them with their homework and express positive remarks to and about their children.. DUH!!!

The Social Contract that most Societies have with each other encompasses the protection of the family. And only when each race honors and encourages this basic belief, they will be respected and put in a place of acceptance.

Coming from an Italian family it was bred into us from a very young age, family first. It is almost equivalent to the expression, Love yourself and then you will be capable of Loving others.

Respect for your own familty and then you will have respect for other families. Psychology 101

That is why most Americans have respect for other countries because they have such respect for their own country.

And that is why the rhetoric of Rev. J. Wright et al is so negative, in the psyche of African-Americans.

You are what you think is not an empty truism!

#558 TrishfromCanada on 07.15.08 at 8:39 am

There is a poll on the radio station I listen to regarding the new yorker cover, if you want to vote the two options are

- offensive – currently at 43.5%
- appropriate satire – currently at 56.5%

I think by now even the DNC must realize they have the wrong canadate, maybe they will do something about it at the convention, or leak info about there own canadate, think about it there is a lot of negative stuff coming out, and he is going down hill fast. I can hope.

#582 ladyhawkke on 07.15.08 at 9:19 am

I just called Sen. Bill Nelson (FL) and specifically asked about his delegate. The woman told me the DNC is supporting Obama, I said I don’t want to hear about the DNC, I want to know what Nelson is going to do with his delegate. She gave me all the baloney that BO had the most pledged delegates and the supers made him the nominee and that Nelson was going to vote for Obambi at the convention. Now Nelson is the senator who filed suit against the DNC because of disenfranchising Florida. I got their fax number and I’m going to have to give him a piece of my mind. If we can’t get the supers to change their minds, there is no point in putting her name in nomination. They are gutless and they will not go against the Party. The only way this can happen is if behind the scenes, Hillary is getting delegate commitments and not sharing them with the media, that it would all be secret until Denver. This all seems unlikely and I’m really disgusted with the biased coronation of an unqualified candidate.

#584 Henerietta on 07.15.08 at 9:29 am

I just leanrned that the super delegates vote by secret ballot at the convention. This would mean, that if they change their minds about supporting Obama, they have an ‘out’ to vote for Hillary. What we have to do is convince them to put her on the ballot and then to vote for her.

I think, if we took a day, everyday, to target the super delegates in each state, starting with the ones Hillary won. We could flood their e-mails and switch boards in a concentrated effort when we make our request. We could co-ordinate with other groups and send letters to the editors within the states where we are targeting. If we need to, we could do two states at a time.

Good Morning Everyone,

We have updated our stop Obama hot links for the day.

http://politicallydrunk.blogspot.com

I want you to pay attention to 2 particular links, one is the AP story released this morning that Obama states the Iraq strategy is failing, the second is story out of the United Arab Emirates citing that Al-Quaeda is leaving Iraq. I wonder who has the better sense of what is occuring, the UAE on the doorsteps of Iraq, or the Obamanator who hasn’t talked to any military leadership and hasn’t visited Iraq in over 2.5 years. Hillarious.

Also a reminder that despite the election, there is business that needs to be done in this nation. Take a few minutes and visit our Drill Now Auto-Email Initiative. (Today’s post)

Have a great morning!

Really, Obama? Iraq distracts us? Maybe so, but what has distracted you from doing the work you were elected to do in the U.S. Senate, like convene the subcommittee on European Affairs that has jurisdiction over NATO and the efforts against Osama and the Taliban in Afghanistan, which you have supposedly chaired since January 2007?

Do you really think the American people are stupid enough to believe that, if we believe in you and elect you president, you’d be able to solve our problems in Iraq in less time than you’ve been the chairman of the U.S. Senate’s subcommittee on European Affairs?

Please.

#604 ladyhawkke on 07.15.08 at 10:12 am

I just faxed this to Sen. Nelson (FL)
Sen. Bill Nelson
BY FAX: (202)2282183

Dear Sen. Nelson:

I just called your office and was told you were going to cast your delegate for Barak Obama at the Convention. I know you were a Hillary Clinton supporter and also filed suit against the DNC for disenfranchising Florida.

Please be advised that I consider the illegal acts of the DNC Rules Committee undemocratic and alarming. Further, not one Democrat, including you, is speaking out against this back-room dealing. Apparently the Sunshine Act is not part of the DNC and they feel comfortable resorting to those tactics. You know full well the rules of the DNC are that “uncommitted” are uncommitted and those votes are to be cast at the Convention. You also know that 4 delegates were stolen from Senator Clinton and given to Obama. Sen. Nelson, if we cannot trust our leaders to speak up against this injustice, why should we remain Democrats?

I sincerely hope that you contact the DNC, Nancy Pelosi and every Democrat who believes in a fair and balanced open government, and demand that Senator Clinton’s name be put in nomination. I believe you know in your heart that Sen. Clinton is the far more qualified candidate and if this were an issue between two white males, both names would be on the roll call and everyone would be given a chance to vote for their preference. This idea of a symbolic vote for Sen. Clinton is ludicrous. 18 million people voted for her. Why are the Dems so afraid of Obama? Why is Obama afraid of Sen. Clinton being on the roll call? Who is running the party, the voters or Obama? He has basically lost his base and his money machine. Sen. Clinton still has loyal followers like me who are helping to pay off her debt. We believe that Hillary Clinton is the best person to put this country back together after the mess George Bush created.

If Hillary Clinton is not the Democratic nominee, I will vote for McCain, along with other P.U.M.A.’s and like coalitions who have pledged to vote for anyone other than Obama because he is unqualified. Do not take us lightly. Our voices are crying out to be heard by those who would put Democracy before sleazy Chicago-style politics.

Sincerely,

XXXXXXX
PUMAcrat

#610 PumaAllie on 07.15.08 at 10:18 am

Good morning PUMAs

Not sure if you have seen this yet, but I expect Murphy will probably post it later. From Riverdaughter at the confluence.

http://riverdaughter.wordpress.com/2008/07/15/tuesday-a-call-to-action/

Conflucians and PUMAs, maybe you’ve already booked your flight and made your hotel/campsite reservation for Denver but what will you be doing once you get there? And what is PUMA all about anyway? What is our purpose? Are we a movement? A new party?

Those are questions we are attempting to answer and for this purpose, the instigators of the PUMA movement propose an organizing meeting in Washington DC. The Pre-Convention PUMA Conference (PCPC) will be held on August 8-10 at the Marriott Wardham Hotel, the scene of the crime.

The purpose of PCPC will be to organize PUMA for the purposes of the Denver convention and to define our role going forward. We see great potential in PUMA as being an organization that keeps an eye on the major parties. Right now, there is no particular entity whose responsibility it is to make sure that the parties play by the rules. There is no group that holds the party players accountable to the voters for the decisions they make and the propaganda they generate. PUMAs are now to assume the mantle of responsibility that others have abandoned. We will become the referees. We hope to represent the voice of the voters who will give democracy back to the electorate. We want to make sure that our votes are counted, our primary results are respected, and what is important to us is recognized and included in party platforms. And unlike more ideologically motivated groups that have sprung up in the last several years, it is our desire to find that place where most Americans are and base our positions on principle, and to survey the political landscape from those principles, in order to resist the cults of personality and fad movements which have siphoned our strength and diminished our role as voters.

Right now, we are in the process of organizing this first conference. Our time is short. Our immediate goal is to plan for our presence in Denver. Our long term goals are to develop the infrastructure that will make us a powerful political force for future elections. Our tentative agenda is here: tentative-agenda There will be a number of organizing workshops on Saturday. For example, The Confluence has been asked to organize Saturday morning and afternoon workshops on blogging in its current and future manifestations.

Now, PUMAs, this conference is being planned with the help of event planners who have graciously donated their time and expertise to help make this happen. However, we are in a bit of a bind. We aren’t sure how many of you will attend. Some of you have already budgeted your money for Denver. The cost of PCPC is estimated to be ~$200/person. This does not include hotel accomodations that we are presently negotiating with the hotel. Since many blogs and organizations are founders of the PUMA movememt, we would like to hear from as many of you as possible in defining our role and organizing our coalition activities and strategy in Denver. But being mindful of budgets and time, we propose that these blogs and orgs send a few representatives. If there is more interest (we would be delighted at this prospect), we need to get a headcount so we can acquire facilities and equipment accordingly. So, I am asking those of you checking in this morning to copy this post shamelessly to your own sites and get a show of hands of those who are interested. If you can please let us know by this Friday how much interest there is, we will pass this information to the event organizers.

Let me know in the comments whether you are interested and we will collect this information. You can also contact Will Bower at PUMA/JustSayNoDeal and Darragh Murphy at PumaPac. The Confluence can be reached at theconfluence08@yahoo.com. We will be updating you with information as we get it.

Are you ready, PUMAs?

Surprisingly. MSNBC lets the cat out of thebag:

With the dust settled on the primary season, one thing is clear: Obama is the presumed nominee thanks only to superdelegates. He never did win enough pledged delegates to reach the winning number, falling about 350 votes short

When is Donna going to quit? We must keep asking this of her!!!

#615 go_Ohio_Lady on 07.15.08 at 10:25 am

Today is a day of reflection for me. Nothing can stop us now, the PUMA’s are working hard to get the DNC to do the right thing. The stock market is falling as I type this, bank are failing, our world is hurting, and Obama is NOT the one with the experience to lead us. Here’s a video that should help all of us remember why we are fighting so hard…

#616 lotts1948 on 07.15.08 at 10:25 am

Hill Democrats miffed at Obama:

Regarding this article: He blames HRC for this too!!!


Others are the result of the circumstances in which Obama finds himself: Having battled Hillary Rodham Clinton into June, Obama hasn’t had much time for the normal interaction between a campaign and Congress. And having to struggle to help Clinton pay off her own debt, he hasn’t had the time or the resources to raise money for Democratic House and Senate candidates. ”

and I really, really resent that part about “having to struggle to help Clinton pay off her own debt”… WE all SEE how much he has struggled in that regard!!!

I think some comments here would be good.

GOOD MORNING EVERYONE!

I went to Wal-mart yesterday to get some more black ink for my printer. While I was there, I thought I would look and see if any of my flyers I put here and there were gone. Yes, they were all gone. I put three or four by the door as you come in by the free papers. I had to put a free car paper on them, because the wind was blowing everytime someone came in the door. I even put one on the bottom of the shelf, with a paper on part of it and all of them were gone, with the car papers still were I put them. Hopefully, some Hillary supporters got them. There is alot of hillary supporters here. :D

1) infiltrate! Go join the Off the Bus site and start writing against Obama today! (http://org2.democracyinaction.org/o/5397/t/2348/signUp.jsp?key=260)

2) PUMApac should start a similar site, and call it Under the Bus.

Heh. Just a thought.

I would not let Obama lead me out of a wet paper bag with a whole in it! I don’t get it..I guess Nobama’s mantra should be …In the land of the blind the one eyed man is King! All this flip-flopping, when if ever will he be called out? Stop the madness!

Tip:
Some in the print media (e.g., Gannett) do not accept form letters. Apparently, they receive multiple letters from PUMApac; consequently, they recognize them as form letters. I have learned to completely revise letters so that my chances for publication are improved.

Obama supporters trashed the unelected, automatic and unpledged delegates as undemocratic autocrats when it looked as though they might put Clinton over the top. Not anymore.

With the dust settled on the primary season, one thing is clear: Obama is the presumed nominee thanks only to superdelegates. He never did win enough pledged delegates to reach the winning number, falling about 350 votes short. His expected victory stems from beating Clinton among superdelegates 463-257, according to a tally on Real Clear Politics.

All the more reason for Obama to make sure that there is no roll call including Clinton’s name on the ballot at the national convention — which a few die hard fans of the former First Lady are still clamoring for.

Why highlight just how close the Democratic contest really was? And there is certainly no gain for Obama in dwelling on how he had to depend on superdelegates to win the nomination

“Americans are divided on which candidate has a plan for success in the region. Exactly half of those polled said they backed Obama’s plan to withdraw most U.S. forces from Iraq within 16 months of taking office. But 49 percent sided with McCain’s position of opposing a specific timetable and letting events dictate when troops should be withdrawn. Among independents, who will be the key voting bloc in November, 53 percent oppose Obama’s timeline.”

John, you are absolutely right. While trying to get hard-to-find info on some of the superdelegates, I’ve come accross a lot of articles from Jan/Feb when it was thought Clinton would get the superdelegates.

The media, politicians, and ‘everyone nobama’ were bashing the electability of someone selected by the superdelegates.

Now that it’s nobama winning with superdelegates everything is supposed to be fine.

For some eerie reason, I check the Taylor March site daily — I guess just to see what the dark side is saying.
Taylor, in her inifinite wisdom, has decided that a roll call vote is’nt necessary nor desirable.
So it appears, as we already knew, that the DNC has decided that democracy is not a good think.

#662 jenniforhillary on 07.15.08 at 11:34 am

Dear DNC,

If for ANY reason Hillary Clinton is not on the ballot, if there are not speeches, and there is not a REAL vote, I will NEVER vote Democrat again.

I have already written all of my local Democrats–including city and state–to make them aware of how I feel.

I used to have comfort knowing that I was on the RIGHT side, but now it is apparent that the DNC is more concerned with supporting WRIGHT then RIGHT and I will NOT be part of this evil dumbing-down of the DNC.

If all I can do is keep my money AND my votes from you, then that will have to suffice. However, please know that I will make sure my vote hurts YOU the most, because at this point the most dangerous, most anti-American, most misogynist, and most evil party in the country is the Democratic National Party.

I still have REAL hope that Hillary Clinton will be on the Democratic Ticket and that man will be far far away, but I am a dreamer. I will work hard for the next 40 days to make this happen, but if not read my lips “I will not vote for that man, I will not vote for any Democrat ever again, and I will not go down without a fight.”

PROUD supporter of the Clintons, Hillicrat (and Dreamer) Forever!!

On riverdaughter… did anyone see the info on the axelrod emails discovered at a college campus?

http://riverdaughter.wordpress.com/2008/07/15/email-tale/#comments

Below are three of them.

My questions is this: How can Obama suppoters NOT SEE the gross manipulation that Axelrod and the Obama Campaign pulled on them? I thought he tapped into the “brightest” of our under 30 crowd?

This is unbelievable that they fell for one of the most standard fair old-school political dirt machines around – big business street walkers, who will do anything for a buck – including spreading racist/sexist disease from one campus to another – as if our country isn’t in enought trouble already.

What we feared most has come to pass. Bill Clinton is spreading racist smears about Senator Obama. He has referred to Senator Obama as a “kid” and said his claims about Iraq are a “fairy tale.”

We cannot allow such vile racism to go unchallenged! Go to your assigned blogs and protest.

Senator Obama will be giving a speech tomorrow to put an end to the controversy surrounding Rev. Wright. It is important that you promptly post your overwhelmingly positive reaction to this speech, including how it affected you emotionally and moved you to tears.

Actually viewing the speech will be helpful to you in providing detailed comments, so check your local listings.

(I think… I can’t tell satire from factual reporting… what the hell do I know?)

1) Can be designated to her Senate Campaign

Obama campaign manager Plouffe donor pitch. Video. “Small” donors asked for $300.
WASHINGTON–Obama campaign manager David Plouffe stars in a new video aimed at small donors–but when you click the button to give, the minimum is listed as $300. The Obama campaign has yet to release its June fund-raising numbers and that suggests they did not raise as much money as they hoped.

The Obama campaign is able to customize their pitches–the amount of money contributed in the primary and general campaign is noted, as in the note sent to one donor. “Our records indicate that you have given the maximum for the primary campaign and at least $0 toward the general election, which means you are $2,300.00 from your general election limit.” A hard soft sell.

Hey fellow Pumas I’m back from my trip from WVA. At first got the general feel that they were for Obama, They sort of feel lost since Hillary suspended her campaign not dropped out { had to explain that one}, After I explained what we pumas are doing and that I would back McCain before I would Obama,went over a lot of info and passed out flyers,wooooo felt soooo much better and I think swayed a lot of votes toward McCain,O yea told them to check us out at our web site.

What’s being said here is that those who have already contributed to Hillary’s general election campaign (not the primary race), have the option of rolling over those contributions to her 2012 senate race or get a refund. If no response is received by August 29 from those contributors, then their donations will automatically be refunded. The Aug 29 date is significant in that it is, I believe the last day of the Democratic Convention.
What’s more interesting is the way Huffpo is implying that Hillary is trying to “steal” donations by not offering a refund. Note the “…instead of offering a refund” line in the first paragraph and the absence of the last paragraph on automatic refunds on the lead page. Its the only part of the article missing.

Dear XXXX,
The Democratic Convention in Denver will be more than just history in the making. Our party will unite behind Barack Obama and a clear vision for our country’s future.

Donna Brazile told you last week about the DSCC’s contest to send one lucky winner and a guest to this momentous event. The good news is that you’ll get the total package – airfare, accommodations, and exclusive credentials to the hottest political event of the year.

The bad news is that time is running out for you to enter. Now is the best time to renew your commitment to winning Senate races this fall.

Click here to contribute $50, $75 or more and you are automatically registered to win. Enter today – time is running out.

For me, the convention is always the true highlight of each campaign. This year, I want you to be a part of what should be an unforgettable occasion.

This year in Denver we’ll stand united behind Barack Obama. By entering the contest today you have the chance to be there with us. You’ve helped us win Senate races before. blahblahblah.

J.B. Poersch

Clinton Supporters Calling For A Convention Vote
by Charles Signorile
July 14, 2008 04:12 PM EDT (Updated: July 14, 2008 05:10 PM EDT) views: 449 | rating: 7.8/10 (12 votes) | comments: 28

For the past several weeks Barack Obama has been referred to by most media outlets as the presumptive Democratic candidate, with many of his followers believing that the nomination itself was a forgone conclusion. Obama himself has operated under that same belief as he makes a dramatic shit to the right on most major issues, highlighted most recently by his recent vote on FISA. As I noted at the time, Hillary had originally voted in favor of the bill before later changing her vote after it was assured the bill would pass without her support. I reminded readers that although Obama may appear to be the Democratic nominee in November, nothing is written in stone as of yet, and Hillary may very well pull off a political coup at the convention and gain her parties nomination.

Thanks for the link. In addition to voting you can send an email as well. I sent the following
_________________________________________

“It would be gravely disappointing to have Mr Obama giving one of his empty speeches at such an historic place as the Brandenburg Gate. We associate that location with persons in positions of honor and contrary to what you may think, this man is not honorable.
His motives and actions are very questionable to say the least. Millions of us in this great United States of America do not support this man, his associations, and the demeaning methods he has exercised in trying to obtain Presidential nominee status. He has assumed to be the nominee at this point, and has surely NOT been elected. I appreciate the opportunity to express an opinion which is shared by many many Americans who hold Germany and its citizens in high esteem.”

Washington Post Staff Writer
Tuesday, July 15, 2008; Page A03

A 21-year incumbent and an icon of the civil rights movement, Rep. John Lewis (D-Ga.), is racing around his Atlanta district like a first-time candidate.

He has appeared at six or seven churches every Sunday, posed for cameras as he mowed a prospective voter’s lawn, and donned a brown United Parcel Service uniform to deliver packages to his working-class voters.

Today, Lewis faces his first primary challengers since 1992, a pair of candidates who are promoting the “change” mantra of Sen. Barack Obama’s presidential campaign and have organized their campaigns around a single, not-so-subtle message: Lewis’s support for Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton (D-N.Y.) over Obama in the presidential primary.

Hey, y’all. Okay, on bias, I must complain about Emily’s List. I just unsubscribed, but I did receive an email on Keith Olbermann, and the attacks mentioned within the email re: sexism in the media were on Ms. Obama and Katie Couric. What about our Hillary????? I am so angry at them. I wrote them a note about how I would no longer contribute because of their failure to support Hillary and because they were supporting a man who ran a sexist, misogynistic campaign (Michelle’s “can’t run your own house, can’t run the White House”; Jesse Jackson Jr – running a campaign against Hillary reminded him of OJ and how to attack a white woman, and the New Hampshire tearing up “she didn’t cry over Katrina and we must really analyze her tears” – he went on and on about it – reall a**hole; the elected official in Tenn who is an Obama delegate who said Hillary should have stayed in the tub (Glenn Close/Fatal Attraction); Obama’s infamous sweetie comment and apology in which he admitted calling “people” “sweetie” was a “bad habit”; the not yet (for me) verified Obama comment to a factory worker that she would make a great dancer – please tell me how to get evidence on that if you have it)

Okay, can you tell I’m angry today? It is Tuesday, the day of the God of War (Mars).

She said he will definitely get the message. I took a second to thank her too for the job she is doing and that she is helping our cause just by being kind and polite.

I also got a note from the Seattle PI asking if I had sent my letter from yesterday’s growl to the Seattle Times as well. I didn’t and told her so. Maybe we’ll be represented here in the NW. I’ll keep you posted.

#763 bmw60 on 07.15.08 at 1:36 pm

#680 from Murphy… I went to the site and wrote this comment:

I must admit that I was not a Hillary Clinton supporter from the start… seems that I was influenced by the press and their dirty dealings in the beginning… I was not an Obama supporter either… John Edwards was my choice. Well the field was cleared and Hillary and Obama were the choices. I found myself in a quandry and wondered which o ne? I started doing my research and found that the press was so gung ho on Obama that the hairs on my neck stood up as a warning… hmmmmmmm … every time I did not listen to that little voice I got in trouble… so, wow…. YouTube became such a big deal that the press had to report the Rev. Wright issue… oh boy, now I knew why I had the hair on the back of my head stood up. I knew that I was listening to a politician who had learned over 20 years how to sway people to his point of view. I was right… a politician with emotional appeal and nothing else… Change… what change? Never any substance to his speeches. No knowledge of how to make the changes. I cannot and will not support Obama…

I am proud to a PUMA and I am proud of Hillary Clinton and her courage in the face of the sexist and biased Main Stream Media. I have stopped watching CNN as a result of Wolfe Blitzer and Donna Brazile, esp. her race baiting ways and their calling for her to leave the race before all the votes were counted. I deplore MSNBC and their sexist and mysogenist commentators.

When will this country come to its senses and see what is really happening… probably when enough of us PUMA’s point it out to them. They will never silence the voices of the people… we are the backbone of America.

As one eloquent black woman wrote on one of the other blogs (she is a disinfranchised voter from Michigan): My roots are not in Africa, my ancestors were, my neighbors roots are not in Europe, their ancestors where, my roots are in America. I am a person of color, but I am a American I am not an African and make no mistake my loyalties lie with America Rev. Wright. I do not wish to separate myself nor my family from America I do not wish to see a black America and white America and yellow America and brown America.

I AM AN AMERICAN!!!! I am a PUMA!!!! and I am proud to scream both those phrases

He is so arrogant and culturally illiterate to even think about it. Another reason Hillary is our candidate on foreign policy. Not to mention Obama’s failure to hold a hearing on Afghanistan (his responsibility) and his only just now making it over there to visit. What a tool.

http://www.politico.com/news/stories/0708/11750.html

After a brief bout of Obamamania, some Capitol Hill Democrats have begun to complain privately that Barack Obama’s presidential campaign is insular, uncooperative and inattentive to their hopes for a broad Democratic victory in November.

“They think they know what’s right and everyone else is wrong on everything,” groused one senior Senate Democratic aide. “They are kind of insufferable at this point.”

Among the grievances described by Democratic leadership insiders:

• Until a mailing that went out in the past few days, Obama had done little fundraising for Democratic candidates since signing off on e-mailed fundraising appeals for the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee and Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee immediately after

okay, have to go to the bank. can’t wait to read more when I get back.

Obama Lies
By Jeffrey Lord
Published 7/15/2008 12:08:20 AM
Let’s start with Obama.
On issue after issue, whether confessing to a mistake or tailoring his latest position for political effect (“moving to the center” is what they call this in political lingo), Obama’s words are now increasingly being received as bald untruths. His image is turning into that of presidential candidate as Pinocchio, the would-be president as habitual liar. Simply googling “Obama Lies” produces thirteen million references on the subject — thirteen million! — as opposed to just over a million references to “Bush Lies” and three million for “Bill Clinton Lies.” Type in “McCain Lies” and you find a meager 213,000 entries. Among the Obama thirteen million are “Obama’s Fifty Lies” and “More Obama Lies the Media Will Ignore” while You Tube features a video clip called “Barack Obama Lies to America.” Others are busy cataloguing Obama statements as “bigger” or “demonstrable” lies, with an entire site devoted to Obama’s “laundry list of lies.”

#773 StarDust on 07.15.08 at 1:44 pm

Something to think about, Obama had to use big money to get to where he is today. He continues to fight for his stay at the top with cash. His supporters for the most part expect to be paid for their work for him. We on the other hand are a group of millions and are doing our work for Hillary voluntarily and are fervent to do it. He is bleeding money, we are only bankrolling it. He will fall and Puma is determined to make that happen. Obama, you underestimate us – you have no chance.

Hello fellow Pumas, I did answer news.aol.com on that article about Murphy. The e-mailed me to confirm before they would post it. I did.

I got the names of the 9 delegates in PA. that didn’t vote for Hillary. Now I just have to find their addresses.
Anyone know where I can find them??

Good afternoon fellow PUMA’S, just completed my daily prowl. I’ve been surfing the web all morning. I read somewhere that the stadium is not a done deal. Maybe because of money?

I believe that too, he probably thinks it’s the only way to reshape the middle east, by invading Iran he will get other countries involved, and then, world war III? I think he’s nuts enough and I hope someone stops him.

#783 BlackScorpio on 07.15.08 at 1:53 pm

I just made my call to President Clinton and got a live person. I basically stuck to the script that Murphy graciously provided (thanks, Murphy!), but I also added my own little note: I wanted President Clinton to know that not ALL Black folks are voting for Obama, not ALL Black folks bought into that myth that Clinton played the race card and/or is racist, and there are many, many Black folks who will not vote for Obama under any circumstances – they just are not as vocal as me because they don’t want to get flack from the Black community in general. The lady on the other end of the line seemed to appreciate my comments and said she would relay them to President Clinton. I’m lovin’ these
daily growls!

#796 NewOrleansPuma on 07.15.08 at 2:08 pm

EVERYONE: If some of you get real lonesome to encounter, as I have, the great mind of Hillary Clinton on the issues that continue to bear down on us, go to her Senate site and read her statement on why she VOTED AGAINST THE BILL TO ALLOW IMMUNITY TO THE TELECOMMUNICATIONS COMPANIES THAT EAVESDROPPED AND STILL CAN ON EACH OF US WITH NO REGARD FOR OUR CIVIL RIGHTS.
Of course, Obama, as expected flipflopped on this, also, voting for the law.
Clearly, one of the very main reasons why The DNC and many corporate entitites did not want Hillary is that SHE CANNOT BE CONTROLLED. She has her own mind, something President’s used to be expected to have.

I sent her an email at her Senate site thanking her for herleadership on this issue as she continues to try to protect our civil rights even as our own party and so many others continue to tear them away.

DON’T MISS HER STATEMENT ON THE VOTE. And if you are moved to drop her a note, why not?

As soon as I saw BO’s eagle, I looked up Nazi symbols. Then, I brought up the official U.S. seal, for comparison. But before reaching any conclusions, I realized, the important point here is that, the first thought that hit me when I saw BO’s seal was that it reminded me of the insignia of the Nazis. So I stopped trying to ‘prove’ the similarity.

#801 LizzyinCT on 07.15.08 at 2:13 pm

Just made my daily growl call. I was so … well, let’s just put it this way …. emotional! omg. A polite young man answered and I actually said “I’m so nervous and thrilled to be calling President Clinton’s office that I have to read from the notes I’ve made – is that ok?” He said, very kindly, “It’s quite all right. I understand perfectly.”

I delivered my message and I asked if President Clinton would be informed of these calls. The young man told me that he will pass the info on to his supervisor, but couldn’t promise anything beyond that. He suggested e-mailing or writing a letter. I will do that, too.

I have to tell you all that I got choked up. Really – voice shaking, hard to speak choked up. I’m actually fighting tears now. This entire election (make that SELECTION) has been such an overwhelming experience. sigh. Thankfully, we are joined and fighting this good fight. We just have to make a difference. We already are.

Bless all of your hearts, PUMAs. Thank you for all you are doing.

Everyone, read this article. It points out that BO’s staff – these same so-called experts who presumably will be his chief foreign policy advisers should he be elected President – were surprised at the bad press their man’s proposed appearance at the Brandenburg Gate has aroused. It even includes this disparaging opinion from CNN.

“CNN asks, for example: Is an open conflict with the chancellor of Germany, one of our key allies, a good example of the cooperative type of foreign policy Obama is pledging?”

Just as I first said here almost a week ago: at this point, given the impropriety of the suggestion that he campaign at the Brandenburg Gate as well as the contempt such suggestion has engendered, he will be damned if he does, and damned if he doesn’t.

#810 BillieJo on 07.15.08 at 2:24 pm

*61 and Afghanistan

#764 Dragonfly

Correct me if I am wrong but didn’t we just lose 9 U.S. soldiers in Afghanistan during a raid,a few days ago? This was the most lost at one time. Yes, I believe *61 was heading up a subcommitte on Afghanistan even before starting his race for the Presidency. Yet, as of yet, has not had a single subcommitte meeting (at least I haven’t heard that he has had any). So, shouldn’t he bear some of the burden for those lives lost???? This just infuriates me. Shouldn’t he have been on top of some of this?

Just my thoughts and always open if I misstaed anything.
Great job all you prowlers….

Why hasn’t Obama had the good judgment to use his power in the U.S. Senate as the chair of the subcommittee that has jurisdiction over NATO and our efforts against Osama and the Taliban in Afghanistan?

He could have been doing so much over the last 18 months, but he’s done nothing.

Obama’s style of deceptive flip-flop politics and his endless empty promises are not credible.

They’re disgraceful.

ok I’m bored at work, much to do but no desire to do it and my internet is slow as heck so I thought I’d remind us all of this comment made by Brazile:

“So, again, I don’t think that members of Congress, governors and senators are not attuned to what’s happening in their states and in their districts,” Pelosi said.

CNN political analyst Donna Brazile railed against the scenario.

If 795 of my colleagues decide this election, I will quit the Democratic Party. I feel very strongly about this,” Brazile said.

Would make a nice daily growl to remind Brazile of this. I’ll submit it to Maryland PUMA

#846 ladyhawkke on 07.15.08 at 3:12 pm

I just got this from LaRouche.

Hi XXXXX,
What’s going on? Are people planning to participate in and listen to LaRouche’s webcast on Tuesday, July 22? What about the reaction to 1932?

LaRouche: The Financial System Is Dead and Cannot Be Saved
13 Jul 2008

July 13, 2008 (LPAC)–With the U.S. and British financial press full of wild speculation about how the Bush Administration is going to intervene Monday morning, to bail out Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, Lyndon LaRouche today issued a sharp, preemptive warning: “The financial system is already dead. It cannot be saved.” LaRouche expanded: “If any of the reports of a planned bailout of the two big mortgage lenders, by the Treasury Department or the Federal Reserve are true, I say, `Forget it.’ Any such efforts to delay the funeral of the present global financial and monetary system will only make matters worse. A bailout will cause an accelerated hyperinflationary explosion, far worse than the hyperinflation that hit Weimar Germany in the autumn of 1923. Back then,” LaRouche continued, “Germany had a gun pointed to its head. The gun was called the Versailles Treaty, and Germany had no choice. Today, the United States has a choice. I spelled out the choice in numerous recent locations.”

LaRouche cited his recent call for the Federal Reserve to immediately raise interest rates to 4 percent, as a stop-gap measure to prevent a massive flight of institutional capital from the banking system. He demanded that this move be accompanied by clear statements from the Fed that there will be no more Bear Stearns-style bailouts of the speculative bubble. Instead, the Fed will protect the chartered Federal and state banks, through bankruptcy reorganization, on the model of what Franklin Roosevelt did, when he first took office in March 1933, and faced the same kind of collapse of the banking system that we face now. “Only, today’s crisis is orders of magnitude worse,” LaRouche added, “due to the massive leveraging by the banks and other financial institutions.”

LaRouche warned that Bush Administration and Fed officials, like Hank Paulson and Ben Bernanke, may be on an “ego trip–unwilling to admit that they have failed miserably. But the reality is that they,like the George W. Bush Administration, have failed, with wretched incompetence. For one thing, they failed to reverse the Alan Greenspan monster bubble, which is now blowing.”

LaRouche added that there is no way to even estimate the magnitude of the financial bubble, that has now blown. “The collapse of Fannie and Freddie means the end of the system. And that has already happened, and nothing can be done, within the rules of the current system, to solve that problem. We can keep Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac alive, but only through actions reforming the system, in terms echoing the precedents of President Franklin Roosevelt, that in ways appropriate for the actual conditions of today.

“The only alternative is to implement my three-step solution to the crisis,” LaRouche concluded. “If the so-called leadership in Washington is unwilling to do that, then this financial system, and, by extension, these United States, are finished. It may be a tough reality to swallow, but it is the only reality that there is.”

Lyndon LaRouche will be delivering an international webcast on Tuesday, July 22, 2008, at 1 PM (EDT). The webcast takes place on the first anniversary of LaRouche’s July 25, 2007 Washington, D.C. webcast address, in which he announced that the financial system had already crashed. Days later, the collapse of Countrywide, and other major mortgage lenders, and the blowout of Bear Stearns, illustrated that LaRouche was 100 percent correct.

In contrast to what Obama has been doing, look what Heidi Li Listed on her blog… what our candidate has been doing:

Monday, July 14, 2008
Just in case you forgot why you are contributing to Senator Clinton, take a look at some of her recent efforts as Senator from New York
Senator Clinton needs contributions both to retire her primary campaign debt and to fund her senate reelection campaign, with donations to retire the debt from those not maxxed out to the primary taking priority. If you need to be reminded of why Senator Clinton is a politician whose future should be supported, the following selected items provide a good refresher. I have created a dedicated page on Act Blue so people can conveniently donate to Senator Clinton’s 2008 presidential campaign fund (retire the debt donations can be made there) and to Senator Clinton’s senate reelection fund. Or, for retire the debt donations, use the link in the sidebar to at the right on this page.

Bill Delahunt from the MA 10th District is another weasel who endorsed Obama BEFORE the MA Primary.
He’s also up for re-election this year.

#852 mpdamon on 07.15.08 at 3:18 pm

If any of my fellow PUMAs care to assist is expressing annoyance with bothe Kerry and Delahunt, by all means do. Senator Kennedy and Governor Patrick also endorsed the selected one. Anyone get the idea that this was a conspiracy? Patrick is a close personal friend of Obama, was elected on a promise of “change” and has been a big disappointment. His most notable achievement has been to spend an inordinate amount of time writing his autobiography. Just what we elected him for.

To do so would validate the shameful actions of the DNC in selecting a man who treated Senator Clinton so shamelessly, and who abused their power with respect to our great citizens and their voting rights.
Please join us with a favorable decision and help us return Senator Clinton to her rightful place.

In the where-were-you-when-we-needed-you department, Eleanor Smeal had this to say about the New Yorker cover:

Dear XXXXXX,

Let the New Yorker’s editor-in-chief, David Remnick, know your outrage over the magazine’s July 21 cover. Of course some will say that feminists have no sense of humor, but there is absolutely nothing satirical or funny about it. This is a vicious attack masquerading as satire.

By choosing to publish this artwork without context on its cover, the editors have created a visual representation of racial, ethnic, religious, and sexist fear-mongering. If the New Yorker wishes to condemn the myths, lies and prejudices being spread about Barack Obama, why not ridicule those who are perpetuating them, rather than furthering their cause.

As feminists we refuse to be silent. We who have been infuriated at the sexist media coverage of Hillary Clinton will not tolerate the racist and sexist coverage of Michelle and Barack Obama. Express your outrage to David Remnick and demand that the cover be pulled.

For Equality,

Eleanor Smeal
President
Feminist Majority
***************************************
Smeal co-signed a letter to NBC about Matthews in January, and has been MIA ever since. Glad this cover fauxtraged her so much. Write her and thank her for her loyalty and courage. Tell he she missed the boat on the single most devastating historical event for women’s progress in 50 years: The Democratic Primary 2008.

#860 scathcart on 07.15.08 at 3:37 pm

I voted at the dw also and sent a short message to President Clinton. That also felt good. I did find out that the reason the dems are pushing for donations is that they are very short on funds for the convention or corination however you look at it. They have had to cancel several programs and are still having problems with food and where to locate the protesters. #61 has sent some of his troops to denver to find out what is going on. He is not happy at the costs and way it is being handled. Poor guy. I found a good read on the following site. nytimes.com/2008/07/06/us/politics/06convention.html/?fta=y. If anyone is interested. The dems need money bad! Not from this PUMA.

Ex-democrat,

Hi. Interesting post & thanks for sharing!

Today’s Prowl:

I made my phonecall (it’s noon-hour PST) & had no trouble getting through, and it sounds like I talked to the same person everyone else did. Says “OK” every time you deliver another point? I got the impression he’s been doing this all day but he seems patient & nice.

I also told him I was a former precinct worker & that I think Bill Clinton is one of the greatest presidents we’ve ever had.

I got the feeling he might be jotting down first names & where from, & maybe another different we said apart from the other phonecalls.

Happy to make my call!

As to the Brandenburg gate issue. I am going to start sending apologies to every German outlet I can reach.

If you want to hear her REAL words made into lyrics, please go to http://wordsnmusic.homestead.com/lyrics.html and scroll down to “In her own Words”. There is a file with lyrics and chords and a music file (mp3). The site was posted on another thread, but server issues caused some file errors. Should be correct now. Sorry for any inconvenience to anyone who took the trouble to visit the site. BTW anyone is free to make her or his own arrangement, just keep the melody structure. The instrument is a requinto so the recording is not in same key as the chords on the lyrics sheet.

A little story to share
While tending bar in a hotel the other day an Obama ad came on the TV, unable to control myself I made a sign of disgust and muted it. It was the afternoon and only one middle aged guy at the bar. I apologized and he said no need. He is a life long republican who at the beginning of the primary season despised Hillary of the 90′s and thought she was only riding her husbands coattails, but as the prolonged season continued he said he gained a new respect for the woman and her intellegence and would have no problem voting for her over McCain. The gentleman was quite affluent and said her interview with the Schaife guy ( owner of Pittsburgh Tribune and an instrumental player in Bill’s impeachment) and O’reilly combined with her continued resolve regarding univeral health care won him over. Made my day!!

My messaage to Eleanor Smeal:
Dear Ms. Smeal:
I note your outrage about the New Yorker cover. I am 61 years old, and as a woman and feminist, I consider the entire Democratic Primary the most devastating political event of my lifetime. I was prepared to hear the vilest misogynist sneers from the right, but when they came equally from the left, from my Party, and from the candidate you are now so quick to protect, I was horrified. Horrified also to see no clamorous groundswell of anger and indignation from women with a platform, especially those, like you, charged with and funded for protecting out rights. So excuse me if I could care less about your current concern from your seat on the Obama bandwagon.
xxx, PUMA

I phoned former President Clinton’s office and yes the young man was so pleasant. I told him to please tell President Clinton not to campaign or do fundrasing for Obama.

We’re lucky to have her. Choked up. Really ready to cry. Why oh why doesn’t the DNC stand up, take notice and do the right thing.

I just commented at the Feminist Majority site about Ellie Smeals comments about the New Yorker cover with this:

I just read Ellie Smeal’s comments about the New Yorker cover portraying the Obamas as radical terrorists and your outrage about that. As a past member of NOW in the 1970′s and early 80′s, I have to ask where you were when the media was crucifying Hillary Clinton during primaries with the foulest crap I’ve seen in a long, long time. This all rings too hollow to me and I feel like I was out there fighting all by myself with family and friends against the most outrageous sexist stuff I’ve heard since my years fighting with NOW. The Obamas contributed to the sexist primary, Michelle especially should have known better. But, anything to win and no one held her accountable. Shame on you for supporting these arrogant, ambitious people.

Hillary Clinton Asks To Keep Donor Money for 2012
July 14, 2008
By Jason Horowitz

Hillary Clinton’s campaign is sending out letters to donors asking permission to roll a $2,300 contribution to Clinton’s 2008 general election coffers to her 2012 senate election fund instead of offering a refund.

The letter, read to me by one recipient, includes a photocopy of a handwritten note from Clinton that says, “Dear friend, your commitment has meant so much to me over the course of my presidential campaign. You were there for me when I needed you the most and I’ll never forget it. I hope you’ll help me continue to fight for the issues and causes we believe in by filling out the enclosed form in support of Friends of Hillary.”

The form says, “I hereby verify that my 2008 general election contribution may be designated to the 2012 Senate election. I designate the entire amount to the 2012 primary election. However if I have already contributed to the 2012 primary, I designate any amount in excess of $2,300 to the 2012 general election.”

“If we do not hear back from you by August 28 2008 we will automatically refund your contribution.”

This donor, at least, had no intention of signing. “Of course I’m going to get my money back,” the donor told me.

Hi everybody !
I’m a new puma on this blog, and I write to you from France. I’ve been reading you for several weeks now, in fact since the creation of PumaPac.
I have been a fan of Hillary for many years, as I have studied her political career for my university research work (I teach American politics in a French university in Lyon, a French city in the South.)

What is funny is that a few weeks ago, I decided to create a blog, just after Hillary’s concession speech in June (I think your movement was born at the same time !). I wanted to show everybody in France that Obama is a bad choice, that Hillary was, is and will always be the best choice for the Democratic Party.
I have always believed she could get the nomination even if she has lost officially. I think Obama is a real danger for your beautiful country : he is only a dream, an illusion.
We have been used to that sort of liars here in France, with our current president, Nicolas Sarkozy. Everybody believed in his promise during the French presidential campaign last year : “Ensemble tout devient possible” : “Everything is possible as long as we stand together.” It reminds me of “Change we can believe in” or “Yes we can !”
Those slogans do not mean anything. Today, here in France, most people feel disappointed, betrayed by the president. Our country is in a mess.

You have to know that here in France, everybody has also been caught in Obama’s trap. I really feel lonely, because all French people are convinced that Obama is going to win the election easily, and will restore America’s image abroad.
But they are wrong ! totally wrong !

I support you PUMA : I want to join your action.
I have just sent an e-mail too to President Clinton, and I will do my best to help you, even if I am far from you.
I know that BO is to visit us in Paris on the 25th of July, I think. I’m sure he will be greeted by a lot of fans, and I am so ashamed of my country !

But I will continue to believe in Hillary, even if I am alone : she is the only one !

Reid is up for re-election 2010
Pelosi is November 2008
Brazile should be 2010 as well
Howard Dean is 2010

Looks like we got work to do :)

We sure do!!!

I can’t remember how the November voting goes, since I alway voted Democrat before.

1. You can vote for anyone, regardless of party?
2. You can only vote for people like Pelosi if she is in your district?

The reason I am asking is what if all PUMAs jumped parties from Democrat (I know many of you already have) to either Republican or Independent. What if on a certain 24 hour period 1 or 2 million did this? Would it make the news, would it be big enough to change anything for PUMA and Hillary? I would do it if I knew I could still vote for anyone in November without changing back, (like for other Democrats).

#922 jane-pa on 07.15.08 at 4:27 pm

Investors Business Dailey had a woman on saying they are asking Palosi to step down.

#905 Beca4Hillary
I don’t understand.
Is it because the donor already paid the max. and Hillary wanted anything extra to go to the next re-election?
If so, why are you glad this person is wanting their money back? I must have missed something.

When I donated, I could choose to help pay off the debt.
I keep hoping this means the debt is now paid off. I know these are only my hopes, so don’t quote me. :-P

#924 Beca4Hillary on 07.15.08 at 4:28 pm

That means that Obambi is not going to offer her the VP, thank God!

Yes it is true. A big flip-flop. I will be back with more info.

#927 sandipuma on 07.15.08 at 4:29 pm

I know people here who did that. Thats what they were told to do.Because they wanted Hillary and said if she didn’t make it then they would vote Mccain

#928 ladyhawkke on 07.15.08 at 4:30 pm

Hillary Clinton joins a long list of debt-challenged presidential candidates
July 14, 2008
By Celeste Katz

It could take Hillary Clinton years to obliterate the mountainous campaign debt she’s racked up, which would be tough on her concerned creditors – but it certainly won’t be the first time it’s happened in a presidential campaign.

Ex-Ohio Sen. John Glenn, the former astronaut, for years was unable to pay back some $3 million in debt from his 1984 presidential bid. Finally, the creditors stopped expecting to be paid and the Federal Election Commission let him close the books in 2006.

Gary Hart had trouble getting rid of his debt, as did Jesse Jackson and Pat Robertson. From the 2008 campaign, Republican Rudy Giuliani and Democrats Chris Dodd and Bill Richardson are still looking to wash out some red ink.

Clinton, who as of the most recent campaign finance filings owed in the neighborhood of $10 million to creditors – and a similar amount to herself – is now looking to primary rival Barack Obama and others to help with fund-raising to pay down that debt.

Last week, Obama made headlines for encouraging his supporters to donate to Clinton’s debt-retirement fund – but mostly because he forgot to do so until after he finished his speech and was getting ready to cut out.

Meanwhile, Clinton’s creditors continue to wait by the figurative mailbox for their checks.

In Harlingen, Tex., the campaign is $650 in debt to Jo Liston for a minibus and van her small tour and transport company provided for a Clinton event. Liston’s been sending bills, but says she’s not sure she’ll ever get paid.

“They’re broke. I understand that, [but] I would assume people should pay their debts. That’s what most people do,” said Liston. “I’ve never missed a pay period.”

Clinton spokesman Mo Elleithee said the senator’s priority is “to raise the money needed to pay off all of the small vendors who helped her campaign as soon as possible, while doing everything shecan to help elect Sen. Obama as the next President.”

Not everyone’s getting the shaft, of course: Last month, Clinton fan Rob Lippincott, owner of Guero’s Taco Bar in Austin, Tex., received the $8,000 that was coming to him for running a February debate-watch party.

When he started seeing reports about Clinton’s debt, Lippincott said, “I was just thinking, ‘Well, who knows who’s going to get paid and who isn’t?’ It was significant. We were sure glad to get it.”

#937 BigCatLover on 07.15.08 at 4:34 pm

If HRC is telling donors to ask to switch to the 2012 campaign my guess is she has paid off her primary debt.

#938 MsBinMD on 07.15.08 at 4:36 pm

It’s from Fox, so I will have to see it in many news websites before I believe he has dumped her as VP possibilities.

Paula Abeler and Mary Lou of Real Democrates were just on saying they are haveing a grassroots of 50 states to let people know who and what Obama is. Materials etc. They do not want Hillary to be vp.They are out to bring party back to where it belongs it has been hijacked. They say they need 6% of Hillary people to vote McCain and he will win than Hillary in 12

#908 BillieJo

Donna Brazille is a member of DNC. She is not elected (as fair as I know). Now, how does one get themselves to be members of the DNC? I’m not exactly sure.

As far as Howard Dean, he is elected by elected Democrats and members of the DNC. We “virtually” have no say over who the head of the DNC is. Now, that being said, DFA and I believe move-on.org, coordinated a letter writing campaign in late 2004 and early 2005 to elected Democrats basically saying that they had to elect Dean or they would be on a watch list and gone after if Dean was not elected to be the DNC chair. So, we could do letters again. A new election for DNC chair will occur this winter after the election and that personw will be DNC chair until 2013.

Hillary Clinton joins a long list of debt-challenged presidential candidates
July 14, 2008

Although this is today’s date on your post I think it might me old news in reality. PUMA raised about 10 mil and we have no account with what more was paid this week. She could have it paid off by now. Will said last week she only owed about 5 mil more. (Not her 11 mil she gave her own campaign)

#949 BigCatLover on 07.15.08 at 4:42 pm

Ok I read the email from HRC and saw that she is talking about the GE fund, not the primary fund. That is not good news unless they have been getting slammed with refund requests and want to counter those..

#950 sandipuma on 07.15.08 at 4:43 pm

If you Google you will see a lot of ex Obama supporters opening new sites.

#951 Dem4Hillary on 07.15.08 at 4:43 pm

Hillary Primary Debt:

I read something earlier that people who had maxed out on donations to the campaign, could donate to her 2012 campaign. Then, it may be possible for her to use that money to pay off vendor debt from her presidential primary.

It was previously unclear if she could in fact do this but I do believe there had been precedent for it. I just don’t know if something like that had been done since the passage of the McCain/Feingold legislation.

#952 Dragonfly on 07.15.08 at 4:44 pm

Hey, everyone. I haven’t read all the blogs. Just got off the phone with his office (the prowl email). I was read a statement over the phone that reveals a politically savvy mind but unfortunately is bad news. I asked the person on the phone to please pass on my disappointment at the content of the statement I was read over the phone. I also stated that I was offended on behalf of Pr. BC at the way he was treated by *61 during the campaign.

I am still upset as I write this, but I guess the statement should have been expected.

Very interesting. In the Savage Politics article, the problem we pose for Obama is that Puma Democrats and the Just Say No Deal coalition represent a significant percentage of Hillary’s famed 18 million, and cannot be counted on to fall in line and vote for Obama in November

I can state as a fact that Hillary would go to Denver, be put in nomination if she thought it was possible. Have no second thoughts of that. Whether that happens or not is anyone’s guess.

“Previously unclear” – what about now?
What does the precedent make clear – I am too to confused.
If I give $ now, to what am I giving? towards her 2012 campaign ? and she can use it to pay down her current presidential campaighn debt? Please clarify how I can help her pay down her curent debt before the DNC deadline.

#964 Laurey4Hill on 07.15.08 at 4:51 pm

Hi everyone, I am probably posting on the wrong thread, so please be kind :) . Did anyone complete the daily prowl and get a response by way of a written statement read by a beleaguered staff member? I asked him to “read it with feeling” to me. At least I got a tiny laugh. This statement was from Bill Clinton stating how proud he was to be campaigning on the behalf of the great BO”. l asked the staff member if he himself believed it and he responded that: “if it is in writing, it must be true”.
Sigh.

The New York Times has a profile on Steven Farber the law firm is Brownstein Hyatt Farber Schreck. The times describes itas “one of the fastest growing lobbying shops in washington” and one of the most powerful firms in the west. Farbers contact list will be crucial in raising millions needed by the dem committee. Farber says he will now be selling Obama and the excitement he has created in his candidacy and it is clear obama is willing to be sold. The times states how #61 will brazenly sell his soul to the devil to have his coronation party. The times says for obama he has no clothes and says he is now totally naked but standing behind a magnifing glass. Obama has claimed he is fre of contributions from lobbyists and goes after mccain at every opportunity.

#966 BigCatLover on 07.15.08 at 4:54 pm

Howard Wolfson on Fox says committee she’s asking people to contribute to is her Senate committee, not a presidential committee. He and moderator are scratching heads about her supporters not giving up. Trying to get us to switch to Obama. Open f
