GOD WILL GUIDE THE HAND OF JUDGMENT THAT WILL STRIKE YOU DOWN!

A note to maniacs who make death threats: They don’t work. They harden the opposition to your cause because they expose your true nature as a homicidal bully. They also rally the support of the vast majority of decent people who are outraged by the tactic. You turn your target into a hero, and if you succeed in either murdering or inciting the murder of your victim, you turn her or him into a martyr. Not the best plan.

I’m a grown woman and I’m not afraid of bullies — never have been, never will be. But I do have children, and anyone who has lost their mother at a young age understands the profound and long-lasting grief that flows from that. Anyone who threatens me or any of the the other women in this movement with death for expressing our political views peacefully and lawfully will fail at frightening me — but he will succeed at terrorizing innocent children. And THAT makes me angry.

Senator Obama’s supporters asked Hillary Clinton to publicly distance herself from a long-time Hillraiser fundraiser and loyal supporter, Ricki Lieberman, who is working day and night to save our party from a landslide loss in November by highlighting the weaknesses of Obama the candidate. Senator Clinton promptly complied.

Perhaps we should ask Senator Obama to “distance” himself from his supporters who are threatening women who oppose him with death? What do YOU think HIS response will be?

THE OBAMA MOVEMENT’S CALL FOR DEATH TO WOMEN WHO OPPOSE HIM WATCH

So far, my list includes these women. If you have received threats of violence or death from Obama supporters because of your political activities or writing, or you know someone who has, please tell us in comments. Also send me an email at murphy@pumapac.org

Delphine from france,

I’m sorry, you may have said already, but I was wondering if you are in Paris? I was born in Marie de Neuilly sur Seine (I probably misspelled that). Just wondering.

#14 sarah75 on 07.16.08 at 8:43 pm

It is awful that anyone would be making death threats.

I want to repeat, though (I mentioned this in an earlier thread in more detail), that I am glad that Hillary is not openly supporting us. It sounds from the link that she distanced herself as gently as she could. The important thing is that it has to be clear that we are acting independently of her. This makes our grass roots message much more powerful to both media and super delegates. So lets keep up the hard work, and not worry about what Hillary has to say.

Murphy, thank you so much for all that you do, and for standing up so publicly for us, even though it is putting you at risk. We all owe you a great debt.

Must go work on dinner.

#15 PrP4HillaryNJ on 07.16.08 at 8:43 pm

Excellent reply to these ignorant bullies Murphy!! and you are so right that it is the children that will suffer!! and yes, we should ask bo to “distance” himself from his supporters who are threatening women who oppose him with death! this is out ragous!! these are the type of people he attract’s in his campaign!! I am glad I do not support bo.. and i never will………

Ricki is a wonderful lady!!! I know.. we email and she keeps me up to date with her progress!! I love her dearly for all her efforts and dedication to Hillary~

God keep us all safe~ big PUMA hugs!!!

#17 murphy on 07.16.08 at 8:44 pm

Doria — added her, thanks. I cant believe I forgot her because not only was Paula the victim of numerous violent death threats, she was the target of a vicious smear campaign by Team Obama to dismiss her as a dirty slut.

plus ca change, non?

(sorry, in a french mood because of antifish and delphine)

taffy — no, certainly not limiting it to women, men who have been targeted Definitely belong on the Obama Movement Death Threat Watch.

There is something particulary gendered about this whole creepy mess the Obama Movement started though, dont you think?

Thank you Puma’s, thank you for allowing me to go to Denver, it is a dream of mine and through your generous donations I am able to go.

What would obama do if we ask him to distance himself from his Impotent followers I think he would do as he did with Wright he would not do anything until he seen it was going to hurt His image then he would start protesting that he had nothing to do with it and he can’t help what people do.

Great point to keep repeating. Her name MUST be put into nomination and we must demand that roll call vote, not just her name on the ballot. If her name is not actually put into nomination her name on the ballot is simply all for show, and her delegate votes won’t count and she cannot win. So we must make it a point to advise everyone we can that her name must be put into nomination.

#33 www.NotFallingInLine.org on 07.16.08 at 8:58 pm

Murphy,

According to a Puma two nights ago and last night, Will Bower made the distinction “between on the roll call and on the ballot.” I think it was DancesWithPumas, but I could be wrong.

Forgive my ignorance of convention rules.

Now there’s “placed in nomination”?

Please write a corrected version of the paragraphs of the letter at http://www.NotFallingInLine.org that need correcting and I will change it at the site immediately.

Thanks.

But tell me, do you still speak French ?

Murphy wrote:
“If her name is not actually put into nomination her name on the ballot is simply all for show, and her delegate votes won’t count and she cannot win. So we must make it a point to advise everyone we can that her name must be put into nomination.”

Again, I understood that the distinction was between “on the roll call” (for show) and on the ballot” (NOT FOR SHOW).

Someone, please, help!

Murphy, MarylandPuma

Thank you for doing such an outstanding job!

Someone emailed our Daily Action to a person that blogs on the Daily Kos. The Kos had it on their website. The action involved President Clinton. Also, Salon bloggers are reading our posts.

Good News

One of my letters to the Editor was published in a CA newspaper. I composed my own letter.

Congrats to Doris from Illinois, your letter was published in one of the papers from your state.

I could spend hours reading your Puma posts, but I have an assignment from Trish that I want to finish asap.

Talk to you later!

#47 delphinefromfrance on 07.16.08 at 9:09 pm

I’ve taught American politics to French students for years, but tonight I’m afraid I’m lost : will somebody explain to me, please, the distinction that is made between : “her name on the ballot ?” and “roll call vote” ? Will her name appear or not, and if it does, why should delegates not be allowed to vote for her ?

#48 1of18MilforHill08 on 07.16.08 at 9:09 pm

Am reposting this from earlier this afternoon.
Also to all
I called and talked to the DNC a guy by the name of Tony (have talked to him before as I believe have others). I discussed alot with him in a respectful, firm, fact based conversation….which he did seem somewhat interested in…with so many calls I believe they are all in “shut down mode (and mood).

But I was able to confirm again as much as can believe them that there will be a roll call, her name along with others (he mentioned Edwards cause his campaign is suspended also) names will be on the ballot, they will be allowed to make a speech, and ppl will be allowed to vote as they chose without being pressured on how they have to vote or can change their original vote. Now the last part I do not believe that to be because of all that has happened and is out there about this – but he then stated that the candidate that is on the ballot has to “want” to be on it and can refuse it.
I asked him is it correct that Sen Clinton has suspended her campaign….he said yes
I asked him is it correct that Sen Clinton has not gven away any of her delegate votes….he said yes.
I asked him has Sen Clinton asked for her name to not be put on the ballot…..he said not that he is aware of.

SO for whatever it is worth which I take with a grain of salt – I have a feeling that there is going to be some same of “pony poop” that will happen leading up to the convention and at it….JMO

But that does NOT mean that I am going to roll over and play with some “catnip” not at all.

Like my husband says when we go fishing and I have a big northern on the line -
” Keep the tension on em’ Honey “

Since I call the DNC about 2 times a week to keep asking ?’s and pressuring them to put it in a press release, media statement or have the BeanHead appear on a fair tv program and set the record straight.

Is the new request to be placed in nomination not just on the ballot? plus roll call of course.

#49 DancesWithPumas on 07.16.08 at 9:10 pm

all are important … but roll call and ballot are just for show…. placing her name on the ballot and IN NOMINATION calls for a binding vote.

I’m open, more than open to corrections.

From what I gather:

the action we want is: Senator Clinton’s name on the ballot for NOMINATION.

#71 mpdamon on 07.16.08 at 9:30 pm

WE’VE GOT A PROBLEM, PUMAS:

Check today’s NYT

(www.nytimes.com/2008/07/17/us/politics/
17anchors.html )

When the self-ordained messiah goes abroad next month he will be accompanied by Katie Couric of CBS, Charles Gibson of ABC, and Brian Williams of NBC.
Doesn’t that beat all . . . the media has learned NOTHING during the Primary Campaign. Now they’re not going to cover McCain just like they didn’t cover Clinton. Instead they’re still drinking the kool-aid and puffing up the empty suit.

We need to take action on this: Paul Friedman is the Senior VP of CBS, Chuck Todd is the political Director of NBC, and David Westin is News President of ABC.
May I suggest a PUMA action targeting the news media about their biased and undemocratic news coverage.

#72 BillieJo on 07.16.08 at 9:30 pm

The Puma PAC Action Center is down.

Murphy, this makes me think at some point the goons may try to hack this website and others, to shut us up. Good thing you already have all of our emails. Maybe you should back that list up and give someone a copy to keep. This way, you can write us by email if this happens. If they are getting this crazy now, think of what it will be like closer to the convention if *61 continues toward the dumper.

I think PA4HILL08 addressed that issue in an earlier post. Let’s wait and see what she has to report…

I’m too emtionally tired to expend any more of my energy on paranoia and panic.

#80 murphy on 07.16.08 at 9:36 pm

BilliJo, yep — we’re covered.

Your story is unsettling, and much worse — common.

It is NOT a coincidence that the majority of targets of the thugs in the Obama Movement are WOMEN.

It is NOT a coincidence that they use the language of VIOLENCE and SEXUAL HUMILIATION.

It is NOT a coincidence that Senator Obama has remained SILENT while these attacks are carried out in his name.

NOT A COINCIDENCE.

#81 Marc4Hill on 07.16.08 at 9:37 pm

thanks DancesWithPumas :)

funny story about my name: when i was born my name was spelled MARK but when i was learning to write my name I couldn never write my K’s so my dad (who is very impatient AND a Clinton supporter) went through all the trouble of getting my name changed…and then 3 weeks after all that, I could write K’s!

odd story, but true. I never told my father I once supported *61…he is a rock solid Hillary supporter. He’s had a few verbal scuffles with his neighbors over this.

I can see why everyone here is so passionate about getting her a fair shot…she’s remarkable!

I’ve been saying for a long time now that the Obama Movement’s scheme to hijack the party includes an explicit effort to attack and silence the VULNERABLE:

women
old people
rural people
sick people
less educated people
fat people
gay people
immigrants
women

It is DESPICABLE.

Trish from Canada: This list you all have been working on: it’s a contact list for all or most of the Super Delegates, yes? If so, is it going to be posted somewhere? I’m waiting for the updated, compiled list before sending out my letter. Thank you.
Also, to whoever might know: do we write the SD’s asking that they ensure HC’s name is placed in nomination on the convention floor as well or are we just asking them to cast their vote for her or….?

Thank you for your post. Loved it. I’ve had those 3:00 a.m moments myself!

The same thing happened to me and I didn’t change my email address. Was only able to hear last call.

#99 jbjd on 07.16.08 at 9:52 pm

People, make no mistake about with whom you are dealing here. BO->Reverend Wright, Father Pfleger, and Reverend Meeks->Louis Farrakhan. These are not nice people. Especially LF, former head of the Nation of Islam.

LF set up the assassination of Malcolm X – in front of his family – because MX, formerly a member of the Nation, renounced Elijah Muhammad, head of the Nation and his beloved mentor, on learning EM had raped several of his young female ’secretaries’ fathering children with them. LF, who thought of EM like a father, preserved the Nation by killing MX. Read this.

********************************************
“The former Malcolm Little was Farrakhan’s mentor in the Nation of Islam—for a time, they both believed that the white man was evil and that the black and white races should live separately.

In 1964, Malcolm X revealed publicly that Elijah Mohammed, the leader of the Nation of Islam, was guilty of impregnating several of his teenage secretaries, in direct violation of his own preachings against sex outside of marriage.

Farrakhan was outraged. He called Malcolm X a traitor and wrote, two months before the killing, that “such a man is worthy of death.”

Three men with ties to the Nation of Islam were convicted in the slaying in the Audubon Ballroom in Harlem on Feb. 21, 1965.

Shabazz, then 6, witnessed the shooting, as did Malcom X’s wife and other children.”
http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2000/05/10/60minutes/main194051.shtml
***********************************************

In 1984, when Jesse Jackson was running for President, Washington Post reporter Milton Coleman wrote that JJ had referred to Jews from New York as “Hymies” from “Hymietown.” LF issued the following threat against MC, who is black. Read this.

************************************************
“Minister Louis Farrakhan, leader of the Nation of Islam, is vowing to ”make an example” of a black reporter for The Washington Post to force other blacks covering the Rev. Jesse Jackson to be less critical of the candidate.
http://topics.nytimes.com/top/reference/timestopics/people/f/louis_farrakhan/index.html?s=oldest&
**************************************************

Interestingly, despite LF’s not-so-veiled threat to kill MF for doing his job, JJ refused to disassociate himself from his friend.
http://select.nytimes.com/gst/abstract.html?res=F70D12FE3C5C0C7A8CDDAD0894DC484D81

(Maybe that’s why BO laughed at HRC when she suggested during the debates he should reject LF’s endorsement. He was recalling the trouble JJ had gotten into with LF when he ran for President, and wouldn’t reject his good friend, either.)

17anchors.html )

When the self-ordained messiah goes abroad next month he will be accompanied by Katie Couric of CBS, Charles Gibson of ABC, and Brian Williams of NBC.
Doesn’t that beat all . . . the media has learned NOTHING during the Primary Campaign. Now they’re not going to cover McCain just like they didn’t cover Clinton. Instead they’re still drinking the kool-aid and puffing up the empty suit.

We need to take action on this: Paul Friedman is the Senior VP of CBS, Chuck Todd is the political Director of NBC, and David Westin is News President of ABC.
May I suggest a PUMA action targeting the news media about their biased and undemocratic news coverage.

Geessh that’s a lovefest waiting to happen. Not only are they in the tank for*61 BUT they want to portray the USA in a positive light, goodness what next!!

Obama is an obsessed with power psychopath.

Being a thinned skinned insecure little man, the product of a mother who abandoned him for a new husband, is in affect, forcing his insecurities and his neurosis on the American people..

Obama just doesn’t get it! We see it, because we know the difference!

He is unqualified for the job as the next president of the United States and the Leader of the Free World.

If he had any conscience whatsoever, for the good of the country, he would step aside and support Sen. Clinton for the presidency.

It’s almost like everyone who isn’t African American will be the minority of *61 gets elected.

Wow…

but then again that isnt completely true. There are African Americans who don’t support him. So I guess really the minority will be everyone who refuses to support and/or questions him (even if said “minority” is really the majority of the country)

They may “play” at journalism, but they are widely listened to. I object to their complicity in Obama’s

On revising the subject line.

I don’t know. We’re waiting to hear from DWP, who knows someone who knows.

As I understand it now, for Hillary to be on the ballot means she was already was placed in nomination. If that’s correct, then, no, the subject can stay as is.

I’ve also revised the letter to reflect my current understanding.

But, again, until we hear from a reliable source, I think it should stay as is unless someone wiser thinks better than I!

#135 hillstheone on 07.16.08 at 10:15 pm

Yes, but possibly the worst offense of Obama (jmo) is that he should have waited another 4 years to run for office, instead of running for office now & splitting our party in two.

I think this man is almost maniacal in his pursuit of power, and recently his tendency to be out for himself and not be a very good Team Player seems to be rubbing the folks on Capitol Hill the wrong way…

There have been more than enough PUMAs who are experiencing trouble accessing their accounts OR Wordpress than I’m comfortable with having. That is why I requested the changes – to protect you.

To those of you who took my advice and got ‘disposable’ email addresses – smart, very smart PUMAs. I apologize for the initial annoyances, but believe me, it is well worth it to protect your ‘home’.

Your first few blog comments will go into moderation as a precaution due to your new email address and/or username. After that, back to normal flow.

Again, any questions, please email me.

And as a REMINDER –

DO NOT write your email addresses on here in email form. Use text form like marylandpuma at gmail dot com.

The specific formatting of a edress makes it extremely easy to seek out for those that wish to do us harm. Most of them won’t take the time to read the text, just look for a victim by format.

I said an extra prayer for you today. I have a loving God, not one of those strike down kinds they have in cults. He will watch over you and yours.

I have noticed that alot of Obama supporters are full of some ugly anger and resentment. I had a “discussion” with one today who really believed that something could not be considered racist unless it was in reference to a minority. Carried on all kinds of trash at several people on the post. I guess it was just a way to avoid the issues.

I sent my letter to Pelosi today

#159 Jen the Michigander on 07.16.08 at 10:27 pm

NotFallingInLine,
I just emailed Nancy Pelosi.

I think one of the PUMA movement’s next moves should be to pressure the DNC leaders into making a public statement assuring the voters that Hillary’s name will be placed in nomination at the convention. And they MUST make it clear that it will be the real deal and not some meaningless symbolic gesture. We need to hear this loud and clear and in front of God and everybody. And it has to come from one of the big dogs, not the secretary’s personal assistant’s unpaid intern.

#80 Murphy: It is not a coincidence because it is and has been a part of the strategy applied when this latter day Sieg Heil master appeared out the box in the Primaries. Barack Obama, the forces behind him, are a direct threat to the nature of this republic. He represents the interests of multinational countryless financiers of globilization. He is a political prostitute. Moreover, the tone of the language of the threat is analagous to that of terrorists. We have never in our history been so close to a bloodless coup than we are now. No matter what happens at the convention, this pac and every person with eyes to see must no matter what continue to protest and to stand up against this usurpation of the very principles upon which our country is based. I for one will do this until the very last breath I breathe. Down with despots.

Tomorrow’s another day & I plan to start contacting CBS, NBC, and ABC to register my complaint ( I already did this back in April and May ) about their bias in news coverage.

On the Politically Drunk on Power website there are some daily “stop Obama” suggestions . . . just in case anyone can’t find enough activities to occupy their time
( or has a desire to ignore and thus be abandoned by their family ).

Here’s an email I just sent to Will Bower in the hopes of hearing from more people who should have solid knowledge of convention rules…

Subject: Nomination, ballot & roll call

Will,

We’ve been having a problem understanding the difference between Hillary’s name being placed in nomination, being on the ballot, and being on the roll call at the convention.

Originally, my letter to Pelosi said that it’s not enough that her name be on the roll call, but that it also has to be on the ballot.

Now some are suggesting that BOTH being on the roll call and being on the ballot at the convention would be only for show, and that we have to stress that Hillary’s name must BE PLACED IN NOMINATION, that placed in nomination is the key.

Is it correct to say that if her name is on the ballot, that it means she must already have been placed in nomination.

Is it a distinction w/o a difference?

#170 DancesWithPumas on 07.16.08 at 10:31 pm

Eerie!

Malcolm X was violating # 19 & 20 of cult indoctrination:
19. Witness and Accept the Leaders’ Faults
and
20. The Cult Leaders Are Perfection


Best to keep exposing tactics of bullying and criminal intimidation used by the followers of Senator Obama.

As Murphy said, not smart marketing/maneuvering on their part. The more we shine light on them the weaker they become.

That said, the internet is conducive to “cyber” bullies. Most are incapable of any real action.

I do worry what they will do when their leader falls. In the extreme I think of what happened to Mussolini who was once revered and then detested.

It’s all so mythic at the same time predictable and mundane…

I love languages and dabble in French, German, Spanish and Gaelic and have studied a few others.

QUESTION???

#31 Pookie

To Pookie and anyone else who is getting the mail that promises to win a chance to see Obama for a donation… what happened to the possible trouble with the law for breaking gambling and lottery laws? But even more importantly — could we help to facilitate that trouble if we report those emails and letters to local authorities when they are received?

We’re concentrating on overwhelming the DNC and Pelosi’s office with calls — but maybe that energy should branch out to law enforcement. What would happen if the proper authorities receive numerous complaints about these mailings?

#187 Pookie on 07.16.08 at 10:42 pm

#189 cjv on 07.16.08 at 10:43 pm

It has been so many days since I’ve been able to post and touch base. I am currently at a week long sales meeting where I’m lucky to have an average of less than an hour to catch up on much of anything. And I am constantly getting knocked off line at this bloody hotel! I feel so guilty not having been able to do any thing such as the daily growls… I will be home soon and I can’t wait to get back into action.
At least where finally tonight while chatting with a couple of co-workers, where one is from WV. She states her family are devout democrats and all are distraught from the outcome and have all resigned to simply vote rebublican. However, I did sense that this was from a feeling of helplessness. My hope is that from my conversation with her her is to help provide them with a new sense of empowerement and what PUMA PAC is set out to accomplish. Another stated “I will vote opposite whatever my husband votes for.” (her husband is republican). After a bit of a chat the first requests for me to forward the info on PUMA PAC. The other, well, she’s a good friend, I will chat more with her later. I felt frustrated by her reason as to how she would choose as it was not based on sound information. However, I did suggest to both to please take the time to get themselves sufficiently and accurately informed before making their final voting decision.
For so long, it has always torn me how so many go to the voting booth to cast their vote on the most inane and ludicrous reasons. It seems that so often so many just really don’t pay attention. I could never understand why…
At least tonight I feel I was able to accomplish something by providing to hopefully an entire family that felt lost. When I provided information that I aquired mainly through here on the DNC’s actions and what we have been doing their eyes just opened right up. Maybe they could sense the passion that I have. However, it is so good to have this resource to help lead all of us in the most effective and positive actions and efforts along with having the resources for the best information that is available.
Thank you to all PUMA’s so much for this.
I am saddened to hear that death threats have gone your way, Murphy. Only those who are scared and unsure of themselves can only do that. Please stay safe.
Good night!

I will, as one of the “no longer needed” base of the Democratic party, Throw my support to whom ever is The selected one’s opponent and for the first time in my life I will vote against the Democratic party. This will include all down line tickets as well!! It is time for a change, and that change should be to unseat all these “career” politicians who have no clue to the will of the people!

Good Evening All… sounds like everyone is on board and adamant… Great PUMA’s… love this blog and all the intelligent people here.

Went out this afternoon… fella is buying a car and had to go to post office… left fliers in the room where the boxes are and on the table there. Put some in the WAWA (convenience store) in the Auto section. Grocery carts when going grocery shopping… and at the dealership got to talk to the salesman and woman who is doing the credit for my guy… she was hopping mad and I hope to see her here on this blog…

She said she wasn’t going to vote this primary and I told her that by doing so she was giving Obama the edge… She definitely does not like the Precious one and was very vocal about it.

The salesman took a flyer and was amused. I told him it was no longer about just Obama but about democracy itself and about every vote counting. He was very receptive.

I also b4 i went out sent my email to Pelosi and changed my email addie on my account… Busy Barb’ie PUMA today… and proud of it!!!!!

Kudos to all of you and to all the ones who maintain such a high quality blog here.. .THANK YOU from this heart of mine!!!

Don’t you find the strong-arm tactics and death threats of coming out of the Obama camp to be cut of the same cloth as those we see coming out of militant Islamic segments in the Middle East? What will be seeing next? Women who dare to challenge them herded into the town square and eliminated?

#207 pooh496 on 07.16.08 at 10:53 pm

Demand a Roll Call Vote
The issue of what to do with Hillary Clinton at the convention next month is causing all sorts of hand wringing in Obamaland. The reason? In the words of Yogi Berra, it ain’t over until the fat lady sings. In this case, the fat lady is the 823 superdelegates who won’t “sing” until they vote during the roll call at the convention. In order to win the Democratic nomination for President, a candidate needs 2,118 delegates. Obama only has 1,766.5 pledged delegates, about 350 short of what he needs to clinch victory. Since superdelegates haven’t voted yet, Obama can’t be sure that he’ll have their support six weeks from now, especially while he continues to disappoint and enrage Democrats with his pandering to the right. With Newsweek delcaring a dead heat between Obama and McCain, and the Rasmussen Tracking Poll showing Obama ahead by only 2 points, and a CNN poll shows that 32% of all Clinton supporters won’t vote for president if Obama is the nominee (up from 22% a month ago), the Obama campaign is right to believe that superdelegates might not vote as expected if given the opportunity to do so in Denver. All this moved Clinton turncoat Taylor Marsh to go on a scolding rant against democracy, urging that Obama should make sure there is no roll call vote because that would highlight the fact that he hasn’t secured the nomination. Enough is enough. The only way to stop the superdelegates from showing their true colors in November is to make sure they never vote. Can they do this? Sure. It’s called suspending the rules and nominating by acclimation. FIGHT FOR DEMOCRACY! Contact the chairs of the Rules Committee of the Democratic National Convention and tell them that you DEMAND a roll call vote, that you voted for delegates to the convention and you expect them to be heard, and you expect your superdelegates to go on record with their votes. And while you’re at it, contact Taylor Marsh and tell her you own your vote and you’re sick of her acting like you don’t know what you’re doing with it.

I’d like to get thoughts from Murphy on this idea to find out if and who we should target for reporting. IOW — do we target local police stations or FBI or some other office? I’m not sure where to start and personally haven’t received one of these emails (not on the mailing list) — but I’d certainly be willing to sign onto his site to get one of these emails if I had a shot at getting him seriously in trouble with the law. I believe this man should be behind bars for a myriad of infractions, but I’ll settle for anyone of these issues to get the ball rolling.

#215 BillieJo on 07.16.08 at 10:58 pm

Murphy – I think I just realized why you are such a threat, besides the obvious….

How did *61 get so much support from the start.

I don’t mean illegal money. It was the tech savy people he had that wanted to promote him. That is how he brought young people into the campaign so quickly, because they are all on the internet 24/7! They joke that educated people support him, college kids are on the internet 24/7. Starbucks drinkers- boom, they have free hotspots for computers, 24/7. (I am pushing the thought here)

Hillary’s army was not aware of this ‘underground’ network until near the end of the campaign. Now we have all stumbled upon sites like this one, our numbers are going and our money is flowing to help Hillary.

They see their money drying up, their blogs are drying up and our recognition is starting to get into mainstream media.
This is what is happening and it will get more intense as we beef up and they try to attack us.

Claws up PUMA, tighten your seat belts, we are in for a real fight.

I have just emailed my buddies and the general concensus: well, as you can imagine, they can’t wait to get back over here and ask *61 a few questions lol

My leg is doing just fine. I like to think that I took one for the team (Team PUMA) It was well worth it. I know we can pull this off.

I really can’t say what it was about *61 that I liked. I thought we needed change, and we do…just not his kind of change. Hillary isn’t the same old politics, I firmly believe she chose now (of all times) to run because a greater good is overseeing this entire event.

She was sent here to save this country at one of its weakest times…and she will.

And if I had to take another bullet for this cause…I would (I hope I don’t have to) but I would. Thats how strongly I believe in what we’re doing.

I like so many had blood line family members who have died fighting not only for our right to free speech but for all our freedoms we have today. Are threats the way we are to say Thank you to all the brave women and men who have paid the ultimate sacrifice for those of us who take these freedoms for granted. We should not have to be afraid for our children or loved ones simply because we disagree with someone and practice our freedom to express those differences. I was called a racist the other day because I stated I supported Hillary. When I asked why they thought that they said because I was not supporting Obama because he is Black. No further explanation. It devastated me. In St. Louis in a bar called Mothers where a group of us hung out they still have our banner hanging on their wall that had our company name and We Are Family printed on it. My partner and I and our friend and his sister were the only white people ever to have that honor. So I am not a racist. We must continue to strive toward our Unity for the party. The unity that will only come when Hillary Clinton is our nominee.

RE: When the self-ordained messiah goes abroad next month he will be accompanied by Katie Couric of CBS, Charles Gibson of ABC, and Brian Williams of NBC.

Please keep in mind that Katie Couric of CBS spoke out about the incredible sexist treatment of Hillary Clinton. She was sort of side-lined and ridiculed for coming out with those comments. I got the feeling that she was really going against the grain for making those comment and media people were shocked. How could someone in the “mainstream” be so “foolish” to speak out about sexism towards in the primary news coverage? Didn’t she’d know she’d be targeted, marginalized and ridiculed for doing so? The story died. No one picked up on it.

So, I don’t think Katie is all that sympathetic to Barack, although she’s probably be instructed to be a positive spin on the media’s darling wonder boy.

Hello Fellow Pumas,
Murphy, I am so sorry about the death threats you and the others have received. Please, please turn these over to the police. Stay safe brave leader.

Today I gave the rest of my fliers to my Sister to be posted in Erie. I unsubscribed from the Democratic Party list. They ask for a comment; believe me, I gave them one..

I also sent a letter to the Speaker of the House. I pulled no punches.

I feel proud of myself. All of this I did after my Sister and I spent 2-1/2 hours shopping at Bon Tons. She said she loved to shop with me.

Then we picked Tom up to take us out to dinner.

I am beat.

Murphy, hang in there! And take precautions. You never know how crazy people can be.

I loved the piece about cult indoctrination. It’s so true about the Obamabots. It scared me!

I’m convinced BO is a psychopath. Most psychopaths look like ordinary people, not the weirdos Hollywood loves. That’s what makes them so dangerous.

The following is my opinion, not fact, my unprofessional observations:

He has three character traits that make me believe this. First, he’s a narcissist. It’s all about him. He has a thin skin and sees everything through his prism. (The Supreme Court agreed with his view of the DC handgun ban? Ohhh – kaaaayyy.)

Second, he has no conscience. How many loving friends and relatives has he thrown under his double-wide, double-decker Blunderbuss? How many loyal aides and supporters? Without blinking an eye?

Third, he has no emotional core. This goes beyond not standing for anything. He can’t understand other people’s emotions. Look how he’s dismissed Hillary’s passionate supporters. Why? He doesn’t get it. He can’t understand why we are emotionally attached to Hillary’s campaign, disgusted by the DNC’s faux primary, and saddened that our party left us after years of dedication and loyalty. This doesn’t make sense to him, especially since he believes his own press.

Look how confused he was about turning on the netroots. Again, he didn’t understand why they felt hurt and betrayed. He actually said he was confused. In his view, why would netroots nation get upset because he cravenly veered to the right? From a dispassionate point of view, he may be right (although, I don’t believe that). But, his confusion speaks volumes about his lack of emotional intelligence.

Finally, he seems to lack a core. He doesn’t hold passionate beliefs because he can’t feel passionately about anything. Psychopaths are cool and detached. They can have great political instincts because they are master manipulators and don’t feel guilty. Their actions are expedient with respect to their goals (money, power, status). Since they can’t feel deep emotions, their policy positions are opportunistic and shallow. And, obviously, open to change with the winds.

His lacking an emotional core, in my view, is also the reason he has no sense of humor. To be effective, humor must resonate at an emotional level. Lacking the capacity to feel, he can’t find the humor in anything. His self-deprecating comments are meant to be ingratiating and manipulative. You laugh but he doesn’t.

One reason why I think everybody needs to take these threats seriously is that you just don’t know what these people may be capable of.

#232 Marc4Hill on 07.16.08 at 11:11 pm

Thanks BrooklynNY :)

Trust me, I’m in NO HURRY to take another one lol

I just got a call from the DNC…asking me for money. I laughed (it was my honest reaction.) There was a silence on the other end of the line…the guy said, “Are you a PUMA?” I said, “Are you working for the losing party?”

He seemed kind of nervous when he said, “Well, please keep us in mind when donating.”

And I said, “I do, everytime I give to Hillary”

man, you can’t make this stuff up. odd time to be calling…it’s 11:00 pm here

#235 TerryDo on 07.16.08 at 11:14 pm

Murphy, I think you should display any death threats on your blog.

For the simple reason, to expose these bullying thugs who thinks there is no consequence to uttering death threats.

I personally would like to post it on all of the blogging sites that I visit, with a write-up stating; Attention none Obama supporters, if your not for Obama, his thugs will hunt you down and threaten you with death..

Are Americans back to tribal wars and fighting with machetes?

Imagine 13 people trying to intimidate 87 people. Who wins in the long run?

Threats a form of intimidation, that never work with righteous people and righteous causes!

#236 mzebest on 07.16.08 at 11:17 pm

I agree with TerryDo that the threats should be exposed… but will certainly respect any decisions to the contrary.

I agree. I think a running log should be prominently displayed on the blogs listing all the threats received from Obama supporters. There’s nothing like sunlight to expose the filth and darkness that comes out of that campaign’s followers. I’m sure not all Obama supporters would condone such behavior. It would be nice if they could see what kind of outfit they’ve aligned themselves with.

If he had waited 4 more years, Senator Clinton would have taken teh Presidency, and he wouldnt have been allowed to run against the Dem incumbent

#254 BrooklynNY on 07.16.08 at 11:30 pm

I also think the DNC and supers and any other Democrat with an interest in winning the 2008 presidential election should be made aware that EVERYDAY they continue to trot out the “Great Imposter, Barck Obama” as the inevitable Democratic Presidential Nominee, is another day they diminish their chances of ever achieving that goal and make it all that more likely John McCain will win.

John McCain gave a speech today to the NAACP. I saw the speech from beginning to end and it was eloquent, heart-felt and deeply sincere, especially when he brought up the Civil Right’s movement, Martin Luther King and John Lewis. I had tears in my eyes as I was listening to it.

I’ve been a hard-core Democrat my whole life. I never in a million years would have believed it was possible for me to NOT support wholeheartedly a Democratic candidate, let alone be rooting FOR a Republican, but when I hear John McCain speak, all those feelings go right out the window. I’m sure I’m not the only one. So, the longer the only option Democrats have is the one Howard Dean, Nancy Pelosi, et al, have given us, the more assured it is that lots of other Democrats are going to be sauntering over to John McCain’s side of the fence, maybe never to return, no matter who gets the ultimate nomination in Denver.

I think the names of the SD that switched need to remain anonymous, so it might not be a good idea to post those names even if they are known.

#260 BrooklynNY on 07.16.08 at 11:34 pm

Everyday we have only Obama as an option, is another day Hillary isn’t out there campaigning for HILLARY. And another day John McCain has to put out his message and show how inadequate he is in every way.

I got this e-mail from my cousin in Il. Add another one that won’t vote for Obama.

Adding a tax to your retirement is simply another way of saying to the American people, you ‘ re so stupid that we ‘ re going to keep doing this until we drain every cent from you . That’s what the Speaker of the House is saying . Read below . . . . . . . .. . . . . . . .

Nancy Pelosi wants a Windfall Tax on Retirement Income . In other words tax what you have made by investing toward your retirement . This woman is a nut case! You aren’t going to believe this .

Madam speaker Nancy Pelosi wants to put a Windfall Tax on all stock market profits (including Retirement fund, 401K and Mutual Funds! Alas , it is true – all to help the 12 Million Illegal Immigrants and other unemployed Minorities!

This woman is frightening .
She quotes . . . ‘ We need to work toward the goal of equalizing income, (didn’t Marx say something like this), in our country and at the same time limiting the amount the rich can invest . ‘

When asked how these new tax dollars would be spent, she replied:
‘ We need to raise the standard of living of our poor, unemployed and minorities . For example, we have an estimated 12 million illegal immigrants in our country who need our help along with millions of unemployed minorities . Stock market windfall profits taxes could go a long way to guarantee these people the standard of living they would like to have as ‘ Americans ‘ . ‘ (Read that quote again and again and let it sink in . ‘ Lower your retirement, give it to others who have not worked as you have for it ‘ .

Send it on to your friends . I just did!! This lady is out of her mind and she is the speaker of the house!

~~~~~~~~~
I totally agree with this observation. I too, find myself really liking McCain and gaining more and more respect with him each time I hear him speak. I have to confess that as much as I want Hillary to be our President — I almost feel sorry for McCain if she does become the nominee because I think he’s a good man too. I have no problem voting for him if Obama is the nominee.

#278 Missy on 07.16.08 at 11:43 pm

Murphy, I think we are all distressed to know that you have been threatened. Your response is above is heroic, but I do hope you have reported the threat to the police. Be safe!
Something that has always bothered me about the MSM was the lack of reporting on the death threats made to black superdelegates who did not come out early in support of Obama …there was absolutely no follow-up …to my knowledge anyway. That PUMAS and other prominent members of the broad coalition are receiving threats are bad enough, and warrants serious surveillance but maybe it is time to investigate what the superdelegates may be hearing as well…if that is at all possible.

#288 BrooklynNY on 07.16.08 at 11:51 pm

#271 mzebest

I feel the same way. I do wish the Democrats would fix the mess they made FAST! Because no matter how much I want Hillary, the longer this goes on the angrier I get and the more I find myself liking John McCain. My loyalty may be to Hillary, but it is NOT to the Democratic Party. As much as I want HILLARY, I do NOT want the Democratic Party – not until they’ve cleaned up their act and then, even then, there’s no guarantee I could ever TRUST them again.

So, while this might seem a bit absurd, given the state of affairs, not only do the Democrats have to put Hillary on the ballot and NOMINATE her to get my vote, I’d still not be completely satisfied unless they got rid of Dean, Pelosi, Reid, etc., and PUBLICLY APOLOGIZED to the AMERICAN people for trying to RIG and election and rob us of our rights to elect a legitimate candidate!

And in the meantime, I really don’t like this feeling of picking someone who’s done so much for his country and shown such stamina and decency in the election cycle as my back-up “date” so to speak.

On the subject of death threats~~What kind of candidate relies on a bunch of thug gangsters to threaten his opposition? The Vietnam and Iraq and Afganistan vets I know do see any humor in this and are justifiably upset. Several have expressed that they would like to know the email or IP addresses of those making the threats. They are extremely well trained in the art of counter-insurgency. All of them said they wouldn’t follow Obama into McDonalds, let alone any military action.

#294 rob3gd on 07.16.08 at 11:56 pm

OK SO DID ANYONE HERE ABOUT HOW THE CONVENTION WAS GOING TO BE STAR STUDDED?

First up, the Democratic National Convention in Denver, which begins, Monday, Aug. 25. Among the big-name performers likely to make a splash in the Mile High City are hip-hop king Kanye West, reggae/hip-hop artist Wyclef Jean and the rap/rock fusion band N.E.R.D.
A host of silver-screen and TV actors are also expected to be in Denver, according to convention sources, including: the ubiquitous Ben Affleck, Scarlett Johansson, Warren Beatty and wife Annette Bening, Forrest Whitaker, Maggie Gyllenhaal (who stars with the late Heath Ledger and Sen. Patrick Leahy in the new Batman movie “The Dark Knight”), Cheryl Hines (of “Curb Your Enthusiasm,” a Sleuth fave) and Ed Norton Jr.

Nor would she have a policy role in the Obama administration; she would be raising their daughters.

But SHE WILL have a primetime speaking role at the Democratic National Convention.

The MSM coronated Obama in February. There has been little or no follow-up on the negative. Death threats to the superdelegates was “breaking news” for all of half a day. I really think we need to be sure that the superdelegates are not receiving these threats, as are our coalition leaders.

I’m on the same page with you. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve had a talk with another friend who feels the same as I do… and how many times we’ve compared notes of things the FOX pundits have said when doing their spin… but mostly… how many times we’ve said things to each other like, “I can’t believe that I find myself agreeing with what the Republicans have to say more than the Democrats… how messed up is that? That the Democratic party has messed things up so badly that the Republicans are now the good guys.” When I think of the idea that Obama will surely be implementing a plan for voter fraud… for once in my life… I find myself grateful that the Republicans are the expert in this field and I’m counting on the fact that they will know every trick in the book and know how to subvert any of Obama’s plans.

Your post just gave me an awful thought. If by some miracle Hillary does get the nomination in Denver, it may come with the condition that she take Obama as her VP. He may be crammed down our throats one way or another.

Once upon a time, I favored a Clinton-Obama ticket. But I’ve grown to dislike and distrust him so much that the thought of him in the White House at all makes me sick.

Of course, if that’s what it takes to get Hillary, I would “hold my nose” and vote for the ticket. And then I’d pray that Hillary sends him on a very long assignment someplace where we won’t see or hear from him for at least eight years.

#316 rob3gd on 07.17.08 at 12:12 am

#317 maxgrader on 07.17.08 at 12:14 am

Dear me, dear Murphy,

I come to the site tonight to find psycho militant tactics against you being revealed and find such a revelation totally unnecessary. It only plays to the attention-grabbing yuksters and bullies who wish to prank and punk others so that self-gratifying entertainment is fulfilled.

I’ll not suggest you consider deleting this thread for you have quite a better mind than I and know what you’re doing. But from now on I urge you to please not encourage those who get a rush from your reaction to their sick behavior. Ignoring them is better than being ignited.

I really feel that most people are not extremists and would never carry through with such a thing as what’s been reported about your welfare. Like I’ve said, they mainly are looking for attention by getting their jollies at the expense of others.

All this provides for the rest of us pumas is a negative feel to our spirits (at least for me it does) when we hear someone in America is not a true American at all or a true child of God by threatening others. I’d rather concentrate on the America that cares. Let’s keep this site one of a positive nature for the most part if we can. I like it best that way.

I’m sure you’re smart enough to know what you were getting into when you entered the public arena. What you didn’t figure on , I’ll bet, was the incredible and unexpected degree of success PUMA would be in such a short amount of time. It has become far reaching to the multitude of personalities of both the good and evil in people, so what has now happened that motivated your monologue to tonight’s thread doesn’t surprise me nor should it you. I can see you are learning as a public figure as you go though.

Don’t let the opposition EVER get the best of you, okay?I’m sure you know when confronted by violent intentions to report them to the proper authorites. The rest of the time simply take precautions to your safety and do what’s best for not only you, but PUMA.

Thanks to your convictions, Darragh, things are changing for the better in America. I’m as proud as a puma can be over your leadership.

Now, you take care of yourself, you hear me?. PUMA needs you.

yea and thats pretty much why i have a wicked tongue when i get mad…because i am bombasted with political nonsense day and night. try spending 3 or 4 hours on Penn Ave. a day…its tiring and sad….and the main reason I joined PUMA was because I was disgusted at how fast these politicians tossed Hillary under the bus without a second thought. It was as if she was a nobody and that she hasnt promoted half of their careers.

#320 Lin4Hill on 07.17.08 at 12:16 am

I also did not get an Action Alert today. Thought that a bit odd.

Re: the anchor people accompanying Obama on his European tour–This is their glamour shot. It’s all about ratings and they know there is going to be a tremendous amount of foreign press and the crazy crowds. Whenever there is a big story abroad, the media sends out their big names. The rage I feel about this is so huge–they seem to have already proclaimed this man the winner and are traveling in the glow of the halo (from the picture above.)

Sometimes I feel like this is a scene from one of those movies where the city is totally deserted and there’s only a few sane people walking around wondering what happened. Just like on March 19, 2003 when Bush sent our troops into Iraq, I knew in my gut it was so abominably wrong, and I felt helpless. This man’s glorification feels exactly the same way to me. I used to think (at first) that he was just being premature–that he needed to grow and gain the necessary political experience. My hope was that someone would take him aside and caution him to wait for “his time.”

Obviously, he has been draped and surrounded by sycophants who have convinced him his time is now. Now—I don’t see even a pittance of worth in his ability to lead our country–and I just can’t believe what I witness each day as they fawn over him more and more.

#321 snowtiger on 07.17.08 at 12:16 am

Good evening all. More threats? Sheesh. I am so sick if these thugs. Murphy is right they are targeting anyone they see as vulnerable. Really ticks me off.
I was talking this week with some Mexican women I know and none of them had heard about PUMA. I’m going to print some Spanish language fliers out and pass them around. Do we have any grouping targeting the Spanish speaking community directly?
Oh and the undemocratic party has an outpost just three blocks from my house. :) Can’t wait to go say hi.
I think they are about to be swamped by PUMA fliers. :)

There is some poll the Obamabots are bragging about saying that 85% of Hilary supporters are voting for BO
That is quite a difference from the CNN poll this month showing only 54% of Hillary supporters voting for BO.
Does anyone know anything?

Many sites are predicting a BO landslide. Why is he ahead in so many states? Does anyone have polls showing him down in states? Please share

Also Murphy, it is Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee, not Shirley

#334 Lin4Hill on 07.17.08 at 12:23 am

Maxgrader – I agree. The size of their anger (which evolved into death threats) is in direct proportion to their new sense of vulnerability. We’ve got them just a little more than nervous….

Ario – I read your earlier comments today and was not in the least taken aback. In fact, I think I may have yelled out a “Hell Yeah!” at the computer.

#340 Firebelle Puma on 07.17.08 at 12:26 am

Hey, everyone, Maryland Puma asked us earlier today to put the threat issue aside for the sake of both Murphy and her cubs. No point making her cubs worry any more than they might be already.

Keep in mind that by “giving it legs,” we may be doing more harm than good. One, it may bring out the copycats. Two, it takes us “off message.” We have precious little time before the convention, and we need to focus on getting Hillary nominated.

If you wish to send Murphy messages of support, please do so by email. I’m sure she appreciates it far more than she can say.

Thank you all for rallying around Murphy. It’s comforting to know we’ve become a family and will look out for one another.

Hey PUMAbuds. Haven’t been able to play as have been sick. An Obot did come to my door soliciting today however, and I looked the full blown white, middle aged frumpy woman Obama “doesn’t need”. Anyway, ahe asked for money (she really was very nice) and I paused and asked why she was at my house. She stated her speech again and I said calmly, “But he doesn’t need us, or want us. What does he want just my money, but no me in the Party. Se looked confused, and I said I’m a PUMA, and she said, OH You’re a Repulican. And I said no, I’ve been a staunch Democrat for my 40 voting years. She took a deep breath and said OH, (as a gllint og recognition appeared from behind her iris ..A disenfranchised Democrat. Yep, that’s me. She left.

It took all my energy!!!

Ohh…BTW, I was talking to one of my republican-leaning independent friends. We were talking, and politics came up, he said that Hillary got a raw deal, and he believes that she was cheated. He said he believes that the DNC was out for her, and pushed BO. I was really impressed. He said he felt bad for Hillary, and while he didnt neccesarily love her, he didnt hate her either.
Made me happy…..see even republicans know the DNC cheated her, and feel bad for her…..

Her name MUST be put into nomination and we must demand that roll call vote, not just her name on the ballot. If her name is not actually put into nomination her name on the ballot is simply all for show, and her delegate votes won’t count and she cannot win. So we must make it a point to advise everyone we can that her name must be put into nomination.
HILLARY’S NAME MUST BE PLACED IN NOMINATION ON THE CONVENTION FLOOR

Well I guess that Nancy Pelosi would be happy with the guest list…maybe she could invite some of the 12 million “illegal” immigrants she wants you to support with a Windfall Tax on Retirement Income . In other words tax what you have made by investing toward your retirement. She quotes . . . ‘ We need to work toward the goal of equalizing income,
(didn’t Marx say something like this), in our country and at the same time limiting
the amount the rich can invest . ‘
Then asked how these new tax dollars would be spent, she replied:

‘ We need to raise the standard of living of our poor, unemployed and minorities . For example,
we have an estimated 12 million illegal immigrants in our country who need our help along with millions of unemployed minorities . Stock market windfall profits taxes could go a long way to guarantee these people the standard of living they would like to have as ‘ Americans ‘ . ‘
(Read that quote again and again and let it sink in . ‘ Lower your retirement, give it to others who have not worked as you have for it ‘ .

Maybe though the celebs wouldn’t like to have all them poor folk there at the party!

Ugh. The “guests” on FOX Hannity and Colmes essentially said the reason people wouldn’t vote for BO is because they are racists.

I agree with you on this also. I was horrified at what the Republicans did in 2000. I still see those visual images in my mind of those screaming, thumping mobs of Republicans pressed against the glass doors of a room where butterfly ballots, etc., were being recounted, trying to intimidate elections officials and succeeding….I never thought in a million years the Democrats would be doing the same kind of things just 2 short election cycles later! I thought it was wrong when the Republicans did it in 2000. And I think it’s wrong in 2008 when the Democrats did it and continue to do it….

What it says to me is the Republicans have learned their lesson. After 8 years of Bush they’ve realized that nothing good comes out of rigging an election. Victory is short and not very sweet.

The Democrat leadership, being the slow learners that they are, have not learned this lesson. Instead of coming up with a sensible strategy for WINNING, like putting forward their best and strongest candidate, for example, have rigged an election and picked the weakest, least qualified, stupidest candidate they could find. They figured they couldn’t beat the Republicans fair and square so they’d cheat! Instead of really giving us CHANGE, they changed the “new” Democratic Party into the OLD Republican Party, complete with all the dirtiest, sleasiest, most infamous slimy Republican tricks of yesteryear.

Has anyone been writing about the apparent bump in BO’s numbers from Hillary supporters? I saw a few posts about it in the comments section at NoQ tonight and it bothered me. One cited a new Newsweek poll that puts his support from HRC supporters at 70% now. Does anyone know if this is true?

Sorry for the delay in responding to your last post… I had to do some chores. But I would like to say one more thing (before I go to bed) about that article I posted. I’ve heard others on the TV mention the great things that the McCain’s have done for less fortunate people, but they also always mention that the McCain’s don’t like to talk about it. So what I find totally amazing about knowing that information from that article is that the McCain’s have enough character to not use that information for their personal gain to the White House. You know damn well, that if Obama could manipulate that kind of information about himself for personal gain… he would be using it in FULL force. I admire the McCain’s even more that they don’t talk about it publicly. It speaks even more volumes about them.

And I’ve said this before too — while I don’t agree with all of McCain’s beliefs — I will sleep infinitely better at night knowing McCain is in the White House then I will if Obama was elected. I don’t even want to think about the latter. We HAVE to make sure that it never happens.

Re:#321 Snowtiger…
It’s well known that Hispanics especially Mexican-American voters were amongst Hillaries staunchest supporters and troopers who became her “Firewall” against Obama during the primaries.It was mostly the white men,yuppies and blacks who sold Hillary down the river..
I think that all of us should cherish and appreciate the Hispanics who gave their hearts and overwhelming support to Hillary..
Thank you!
Muchas Gracias Amigos Latinos por Hillary!!!

Good lord. Obama didn’t flip flop? The bill will be “revisited” I realize that Obama supporters would like to stick by their candidate but come on. If Obama had ran his campaign based on what he now says Hillary would be the nominee.
Yes for immunity via FISA. Then re-visit the bill later. What happened to filibustering any bill with immunity?
Will talk with ground leaders in Iraq then make a decision. What happened to “I will bring the troops home in 16 months.”
Thats just two.

Senior citizens need to have access to PUMA. Great point!

Senior women are very supportive of Hillary. In the retirement communities they all watch LOTS of mainstream media. We need to get in there and ask them to help us with this. They know the history and the love Hillary and I would think be extremely motivated to make a difference in this election.

Put flyers in retirement communities. Another idea is to string together the best pro Hillary videos out there and give away CD’s.

#397 pa dem on 07.17.08 at 1:01 am

Another case in which BO is trying to steal plans from HRC while flip-flopping his own position. This article clearly discusses why it was a flip-flop and not “mis-spoken”. I cut part of it off for length.

Obama’s Redivided Jerusalem
By RICK RICHMAN | July 16, 2008

Senator Obama, in his speech to the American Israel Public Affairs Committee, said, “Jerusalem will remain the capital of Israel, and it must remain undivided.” The next day, an unnamed adviser tried to “clarify” the statement to suggest it left room for Palestinian sovereignty.

On Sunday in a CNN interview, Fareed Zakaria questioned Mr. Obama about his AIPAC speech supporting Jerusalem as the undivided capital of Israel. Mr. Zakaria asked him, “why not support the Clinton plan, which envisions a divided Jerusalem.”

Mr. Obama responded, “the truth is that this was an example where we had some poor phrasing in the speech” and a reminder of the need to be “careful in terms of our syntax.” He said his point had been “simply” that “we don’t want barbed wire running through Jerusalem, similar to the way it was prior to the ‘67 war. … I think the Clinton formulation provides a starting point for discussions between the parties.”

Mr. Obama’s new endorsement of the Clinton plan as the “starting point” for negotiations involves much more than a problem in phrasing. He has converted his commitment at AIPAC to an “undivided” Jerusalem into support for the city’s redivision.

There are at least three reasons why one can conclude that Mr. Obama’s turn-around on his position on an “undivided” Jerusalem did not result from “poor phrasing” or careless “syntax” or confusion about a “code word.” First, the unambiguous commitment in his AIPAC speech — “Jerusalem will remain the capital of Israel, and it must remain undivided” — came at the end of a paragraph beginning “Let me be clear.” The speech was an important address to a crucial group, intended to convey solidarity on an issue of central concern to the group — which undoubtedly accounted for the thunderous standing ovation it received. It was neither an off-the-cuff remark nor a minor part of the speech.

Second, it was not the first time he said it. In January, the American Jewish Committee distributed to all presidential candidates an Election Questionaire and posted the responses on its Web site, without editing them. One of the questions was “How do you see the likely final status of Jerusalem?” Mr. Obama’s answer was “Jerusalem will remain Israel’s capital, and no one should want or expect it to be re-divided.” The answer was as unambiguous as the one he gave 7,000 people at AIPAC five months later.

Third, he addressed the issue in 2000 in a position paper on Israel as part of his unsuccessful congressional campaign that year. In that paper, he stated, “Jerusalem should remain united and should be recognized as Israel’s capital.”

When he appeared before AIPAC in June and said “Let me be clear … [Jerusalem] must remain undivided,” Mr. Obama was expressing a view he had formally taken, in writing, on at least two prior occasions, over an eight-year period.

thanks BrooklynNY. I know that, I just need to hear it every once in a while. I still can’t believe anyone would support this guy. It just continues to amaze me, especially because he gets worse by the day. I don’t know if you saw the video by Jill Iscoll of Together4Us, a new Hillary advocacy group. It was posted on NQ today, and she was on MSNBC pushing to have Hillary as VP and she received a call from BO, saying she is “definitely on the list, but there is concern about Bill since he was a former president and that could complicate things.” Blah blah blah, she basically ended by saying she’d vote for BO even if he didn’t choose Hillary and he “ran a magnificent campaign.” It was sickening. First: he DIDN’T run a magnificent campaign. It was manipulative, racist, deceptive, bullying, hypocritical, and by the end, unraveling. Second, I don’t want Hillary anywhere near this fraud. Third, I will never vote for him. I don’t want her speaking for me!

FINALLY! Confirmation from Will re the Pelosi letter. Here’s part of his email:

“Correct.

“Her name must be PLACED IN NOMINATION.

“Her name can still be on the ballot and in the roll call, but if her name hasn’t been placed in nomination, then it’s meaningless.”

#403 TerryDo on 07.17.08 at 1:02 am

JUST POSTED THIS ON CNN, BUT I AM IN MODERATION, WHICH MEANS IT WILL PROBABLY NOT BE CLEARED.

Obama is wrong on Iraq? What a surprise, has Obama been right on anything?

Answer: NO………………….. Obviously not, he keeps changing his mind, because he know he is wrong on everything he supported.

Another wrongful happening in the Obama (Chicago style) campaign is the Obama thugs who are now sending Death Threats to leaders in the NoObama campaign such as PumaPac.

Could it be the Black Panthers are trying to devour the Pumas.

It will never work, the righteous will always prevail.

And death threats will be followed up and charges made.. There are consequences to these anonymous threats, you can be traced and prosecuted!!!!!!!

3 more names added to the OBAMA MOVEMENT CALLS FOR DEATH TO WOMEN WHO OPPOSE HIM WATCH

Please spread the word that we are looking for women (or men of course) who have been targeted by Obama supporters.

I received a couple of emails from kind Pumas who worry that publicizing this may backfire and incite more homicidal maniacs to threaten us.

here’s the deal — I’m not posting this Watch for sympathy or fear-mongering. I’m doing it for two reasons:

1. to tell the world that the Obama Movement is not happy, hopeful, or inclusive. It is steered by people who call for death to those who oppose it. Think about that for a moment.

2. to amplify Barack Obama’s stone cold SILENCE about these repeated, documented, and COORDINATED death threats to (exclusively as far as I know) WOMEN WHO TALK BACK to them.

Why is Barack Obama silent when his followers promise death to women who won’t be sit down, shut up, and obey???

#406 Hillarysmygirl08 on 07.17.08 at 1:03 am

Hello I am Sugar from PA on the death threat list. About three weeks ago I recieved a death threat and a few minutes not sure of the lenght of time but not long. My son came running in and told me my tree was on fire. We had to call the fire department and they told me it was arson.

#407 www.NotFallingInLine.org on 07.17.08 at 1:04 am

The version of the Pelosi letter that you want to send (or resend if you’ve already sent the earlier version) has capital letters for PLACED IN NOMINATION twice.

Thank you all for helping to fill Pelosi’s inbox.

As I understand it, the party cannot delete any of these emails, but is required to save them all. SO SEND THEM!

Dances with Pumas: I know of another woman, a long-time Hillary supporter and colleague on human rights (and a Georgetown Professor), Allida Black, who was one of the WomenCountPAC founders. I was told by a close friend of hers that she had to get security for her offices, because she had been accused of racism and threatened. That is not directly from her, so it would have to be confirmed, but it is only one step removed, if someone wants to contact her for verification.

Might make it a little difficult for BO and Gang to strong-arm, bully, demean, ridicule, harass her if her HUSBAND is around. People like BO et al prefer their victims to be unprotected and defenseless. Not to mention, standing next to Bill, BO is going to look like the incompetent little fraudulent imposter he is.

#398 BrooklynNY

“The Democrat leadership, being the slow learners that they are, have not learned this lesson. Instead of coming up with a sensible strategy for WINNING, like putting forward their best and strongest candidate, for example, have rigged an election and picked the weakest, least qualified, stupidest candidate they could find.”

~~~~~~

I have a theory as to why they are pushing the least qualified candidate. My theory is this: I think Pelosi, Dean, and Reid are under the misguided impression that if someone unqualified and inexperienced (such as Obama) is in the office, then Obama will need to lean on Pelosi and Dean heavily. So with this in mind, Pelosi and Dean probably think they will have infinitely more power with Obama in the office. They certainly wouldn’t be powerful with Clinton in the office.. she’s too strong and knowledgeable.

But the irony of all this is that Obama has plans of his own with that power… and I’m sure he’s just using Pelosi and Dean as pawns to get him where he wants to be. They don’t even see the writing on the wall when they are out of the loop on the Invesco planning. They didn’t know about it until the press did. So the irony is — they would probably have NO power at all while Obama yields his tyranny over us all. I even suspect he has plans of dismantling this Democratic country to the point that he will be a dictator and there will never be a choice again to elect anyone else to replace him.

I believe that’s why he’s trying to get FISA in place. Keep in mind, that the Democrats were against FISA until Obama came along… now all of a sudden it passed by a majority of Democrats? He’s got something on them all and is forcing this so he can set the stage to dismantle this country one chip at a time. He scares the crap out of me.

#423 pumaindy on 07.17.08 at 1:14 am

Murphy – I agree with your position.

BO’s MO (no pun intended) is to make sure to stay quiet when his supporters do these reprehensible things. I don’t for one second believe that he doesn’t know what’s going on. Regardless of whether he knows or not, it is all bad for him. Either he is evil or he is clueless. No one in their right mind would support someone with these qualities, especially for the highest office in our nation.

I wish some of his supporters would open their eyes and start talking. Maybe if he keeps flip-flopping and throwing people under the bus someone will spill what they know. Here’s hoping…

#424 murphy on 07.17.08 at 1:14 am

#420 mzebest. Funny thing . I was talking today with my father about the same thing. Imo , Dean has something on “O”. Some type of hook that will let him sway policy to his liking. The “power behind the throne” if you will.
Look at it. The senate , as I understand it, wrote bills then gave them to “O’ to place in session. Added his name as co-sponsor to bills he had nothing to do with. And this has been going on long before the primary.
Why?
Because honestly, I can’t see the destruction of Hillary as anything useful, from their point of view. They had to know it was going to cause all sorts of problems. Why do it at all? Why was it so important to create this mess?

Regarding FISA – do his supporters think for one minute that they are immune from being denied their constitutional rights? Silly people. If BO gets power he will abuse everyone, including his supporters. Think about how many people he has already thrown under the bus. Backstabber.

Another group who supports him (to my amazement) is Hollywood. Do these people think for one second that their work won’t be censored should BO come to power? Let them try making controversial films or documentaries should BO become POTUS. Clueless they are. Incomprehensible this is.

Demand a Roll Call Vote
The issue of what to do with Hillary Clinton at the convention next month is causing all sorts of hand wringing in Obamaland. The reason? In the words20of Yogi Berra, it ain’t over until the fat lady sings. In this case, the fat lady is the 823 superdelegates who won’t “sing” until they vote during the roll call at the convention. In order to win the Democratic nomination for President, a candidate needs 2,118 delegates. Obama only has 1,766.5 pledged delegates, about 350 short of what he needs to clinch victory. Since superdelegates haven’t voted yet, Obama can’t be sure that he’ll have their support six weeks from now, especially while he continues to disappoint and enrage Democrats with his pandering to the right. With Newsweek delcaring a dead heat between Obama and McCain, and the Rasmussen Tracking Poll showing Obama ahead by only 2 points, and a CNN poll shows that 32% of all Clinton supporters won’t vote for president if Obama is the nominee (up from 22% a month ago), the Obama campaign is right to believe that superdelegates might not vote as expected if given the opportunity to do so in Denver. All this moved Clinton turncoat Taylor Marsh to go on a scolding rant against democracy, urging that Obama should make sure there is no roll call vote because that would highlight the fact that he hasn’t secured the nomination. Enough is enough. The only way to stop the superdelegates from showing their true colors in November is to make sure they never vote. Can they do this? Sure. It’s called suspending the rules and nominating by acclimation. FIGHT FOR DEMOCRACY! Contact the chairs of20the Rules Committee of the Democratic National Convention and tell them that you DEMAND a roll call vote, that you voted for delegates to the convention and you expect them to be heard, and you expect your superdelegates to go on record with their votes.

I think you’re right on the mark about all this. Right now the executive branch has become very powerful, more so than it’s ever been, due to Bush and Cheney. I agree Dean, Pelosi, even Kennedy, etc., liked Obama for the very reason you stated. I also think Obama is playing them to get power, pretending to be their “friend,” but as soon as he would win, he’d take advantage of the strengthened executive branch to do whatever he and Michelle have dreamed and schemed about accomplishing all these years, as they sat in dear Rev. Wrights “church,” associated with former militant Black Panthers, Malcolm X factions of the Civil Rights movement, shady characters like Tony Rezko, etc. I mean, this guy hasn’t been in politics THAT long and already he’s accumulated such a collection of disreputable, questionable dealings and associates it’s mind-boggling.

I think it’s no “accident” he’s voted for FISA. One more step in enacting George Orwell’s “Brave New World.” Can you imagine a government, headed by Barack Obama and his crew of shady characters having free reign to snoop and eavesdrop on whoever they wanted LEGALLY! Forget about living in a democracy. It’d be all over. If he’s managed to intimidate and threaten not just everyday people, but a string of supposed prominent public officials, can you imagine what he will do if he were sitting in the Oval Office? Who would he be giving all this private information to? Who would he be giving important national secrets information to? Who would he be sitting and consulting with? Wright? Ayres? Michelle?

It sends chills down my spine.

They are manipulating the polls.
Campaigning for Hillary in Texas, most of the people we contact they said they were pro-Hillary.
She won El Paso 65 to 35 if not wrong, because we had to return to California as soon as the polls closed.
She also won in California with also the same percentage among latinos. They are very loyal to The Clintons.
But now because, they don’t know, latinos are thinking their only choice is Obama.
So, we need to target these voters and spread the voice about PUMA.

There’s definitely this “Power” drug that is interlaced in all of this. “Power” and “Greed.” Let’s not forget that power is addicting and we already know that Obama has an addictive personality evident in his drug use — so power is another drug that he craves. I think the others that lack character are being sucked in by the promises of power along the way too.

“I think it’s no “accident” he’s voted for FISA. One more step in enacting George Orwell’s “Brave New World.” Can you imagine a government, headed by Barack Obama and his crew of shady characters having free reign to snoop and eavesdrop on whoever they wanted LEGALLY!”

~~~~~~~~

Well — and consider this scary thought too. We tend to think that he’ll mostly use his eavesdropping power on people like us. But what if he’s more interested in using his eavesdropping abilities on fortune 500 companies, so he can find out what they’re up to and destroy the economy further while reaping financial benefit in the process?

I think that the conspiracy goes way deeper than Dean, Pelosi, Kennedy, etc. These people just don’t have the clout to pull off what has happened to date. They may be major characters in this unfolding play, but I think that there is more to this plot than meets the eye. I’m still waiting for the headliner stars to enter the stage.

It feels a bit like good vs. evil. I hope that this play has a great Hollywood ending where good prevails.

#478 tennaseepuma on 07.17.08 at 1:44 am

The goals of The Denver Group are simple:

1) An open convention.

2) Senator Clinton’s name placed in nomination. No symbolic roll call vote.

3) Speeches allowed by supporters of Senator Clinton on
behalf of her candidacy.

4) A genuine roll call vote with Senator Clinton as a legitimate candidate.

5) No coronation.

It’s a damn shame that grassroots organizations have to formed to ensure that the Democratic Party is indeed democratic.

Imho. if consolidation and expansion of executive power is a cornerstone of their plans, he will offer some support to Bush’s claim of executive privilege in the CIA leak case.
Second, he will alter his middle east policy further to expand U.S. military activities. Broad ideas.

In light of your breaking news and everything we’ve been talking about — I think it might be a good idea to coordinate with the FBI on our presence in Denver. Isn’t the FBI supposed to help in avoid terrorists acts? I keep reading reports of Obama organizing terrorist-like protests to keep PUMA’s at bay and to also intimidate delegates. Maybe we should do everything in our power to be ahead of the game on this one and work in coordination with the FBI.

#489 GOSUEF4HIL on 07.17.08 at 1:54 am

#85 Murphy- and if others have already commented, accept my apologies, I have had a long day and am just getting to PUMA now (I am on W coast time)
Your list of people that the Obama campaign has highjacked is exactly right. But add the whole DNC, this was an orchestrated effort.
I for one have never felt more liberated since I said- “I am no longer voting out of fear of Roe v. Wade being overturned”
Quite frankly, if it is, I will start fighting for it again, I am a health care professional, went to classes to learn how to perform the procedure back when Ronnie was president. I will do so if needed and will work like hell if needed.
What I will not do is vote for a vacuous empty suit to protect me. I don’t trust him to protect his own kids, let alone gays, women, rural dwellers, military, blue collar workers, atheists, elderly, disabled, Michiagan and Florida voters, far left leaning… have I missed anyone?

There’s no limit to the sinister possibilities of what he could do with the information he could gather. And combined with his early upbringing, his associations with Black Liberation theologicans and sympathy for all kinds of far-leftist ideologies, it is a very scary thought what he would do with the powers he would have as president and with the new FISA.

Yes I couldn’t agree more about the Hispanic vote. They are really in a quandry because I don’t think they like either candidate very much. Immigration reform looms large in their minds, too.

I like the idea of doing a targeted day of outreach to the hispanic communities in all the towns we live in.

#504 hillstheone on 07.17.08 at 2:06 am

That newsclip was posted before, I think last week.

I don’t believe we should be overly alarmed about it but I do think we need a plan of coordinated, peaceful and effective demonstrations. I’m guessing all of the various Hillary groups are working together to come up w/”The Plan(s)”…

Murphy & Lizzy in CT

Thank you for your kind words. Murphy, I emailed you the information about my letter and the CA newspaper.

NotfallingInLine
I’m going to copy and paste your letter to Pelosi and work on it tomorrow.

Pumas,
You are all good writers. I wouldn’t worry about *61’s trip to Europe and all the anchors going along. I think each of you should compose a letter from the heart to major papers and explain why we are not voting for *61.

The NYT, WP, LATimes, and the Christian Science Monitor all require individual letters and not a mass mailing of the same letters.

There are so many reasons why we cannot vote for him such as his inexperience, political track record, donations from shady characters, his church, and so on.

If we each pick one or two reasons and explain why we oppose his nomination, I think our letters will be published.

It is very easy to get caught up in the daily hype of this race and not see the important things. Another Puma wrote about McCain quietly and eloquently doing things that *61 would brag about. Again, this is another example of why this man is bad for our country.

The Daily Kos is following our website. I have no idea why someone would email our Daily Action plan to one of their bloggers.

I’m calling it a night.

Fantastic job Pumas. You rock!!!!!

#509 maxgrader on 07.17.08 at 2:10 am

Just for the record it wasn’t Yogi Berra who created the catch phrase “It ain’t over until the fat lady sings”.

What Yogi said was “It ain’t over til its over”.

Believe it or not the actual phrase is “It ain’t over til the opera lady sings” and was originally thought of by our own legendary local San Antonio sports writer Dan Cook. An NBA coach in the 70s (Gene Shue of the Bullets I think it was) is the one who gave it national notoriety when he quoted Mr. Cook’s line (or slightly misquoted line) in an interview.

Dan Cook was a great old guy too who acted so normal and kind to the average joe. I even met him once while shopping for groceries at a Handy Andy supermarket. Neat guy. Can’t say enough for this down to earth one of a kind man.

Unfortunately our legend passed away at 81 earlier this month. But he lived an extraordinarly full and fun life. Hellava guy!!!

Remember… Dan’s original saying was “It ain’t over til the OPERA lady sings”. Not FAT. It was Gene Shue who said FAT.

Told Murphy I wasn’t going to stay up much longer and look at me; still prowling. Back to the cave for sure… NOW.

Seems like a good idea. Like I said most that I have talked to have no idea that puma even exists. I f we can get the word out before the convention we could drastically increase our chances of putting Hillary back where she belongs.
I’m starting this week.
On of my employees is a 20 year old Hillary supporter and a Mexican immigrant. Now a citizen. I know she will get active.
In fact I bought her a Hillary pin but told her she couldn’t wear it in my store for her own safety (this was during the primary). She asked what did a I mean. I told her wear it around on your off days. You will see.
She saw. She wouldn’t wear her button afterwards unless she was surrounded by Mexican Americans and in her own neighborhood.
Welcome to America.

TOPIC: What’s Your Dream? Or, “Attitude is Everything.”

Every day on this blog, I see posters here & there with comments like “gee, I hope Hillary doesn’t get offered the VP position,” or, “wow, maybe Obama is going to make sure Hillary’s name isn’t in the rollcall,” or “wow, the polls say this or that,” or any other combination of “what if this terrible thing happens?”

It’s all fine & well to try and predict every single little twist and turn of this primary season, but I don’t really think it’s the best way to spend y(our) time. Do you?

What’s your dream? Is it to finish school, learn a new language, start your own business, or maybe become the #1 surfing champion of the world? My point is, we’re all here to support cleaning house in the Democratic party. Reform of a party that needs reforming. And support Hillary.

What is your biggest dream for Hillary?

My guess is, your biggest dream for Hillary is to see her clinch the nomination in August. And then see her become the next President.

Hold that thought, and visualize it, see Hillary taking the oath of office, and keep telling yourself it’s real, it’s possible, it’s achievable and attainable. I guess my point is, we all know, a dream you feel passionately about can come true.

So be careful what your dreaming!

I’m not trying to censor anybody on here. I’m just saying, “be aware of what your #1 Dream is,” and then find your own special way to make it happen…

“If by some miracle Hillary does get the nomination in Denver, it may come with the condition that she take Obama as her VP. He may be crammed down our throats one way or another. ”

Will Hillary Delegates get to vote for her?

Rick Moran
The nightmare scenario of the Obama campaign involves Hillary Clinton giving a cracking good speech the first or second night of the convention and then stampeding some Obama delegates to vote for her on the first ballot.

But what does worry the Obama camp is Hillary Clinton stealing too much of Obama’s thunder. Hence, negotiations are now underway between the two camps that would define her role at the convention.

By Kyle-Anne Shiver

What’s so scary about Barry?

“Well, to be honest, some of what scares me about Barry and Michelle Obama in the White House does, in fact, have a little to do with the grains of truth in that now infamous New Yorker cover, showing Obama in Muslim garb and Michelle as a black militant with a machine gun, and the American flag burning in a fireplace.”

For everything there is a seasom
and a time for every matter under heaven:

a time to be born,
and a time to die,

a time to plant,
and a time to pluck what is planted;

a time to kill,
and a time to heal;

a time to break down,
and a time to build up;

a time to weep,
and a time to laugh;

a time to mourn,
and a time to dance;

a time to cast away stones,
and a time to gather stones together;

a time to embrace,
and a time to refrain from embracing;

a time to seek,
and a time to lose;

a time to keep,
and a time to cast away;

a time to rend,
and a time to sew;

a time to keep silence,
and a time to speak;

a time to love,
and a time to hate;

a time for war,
and a time for peace.

(Ecclesiates 3:1-8)

Please stop iT!

You are all playing the victim.

I think I have read enough for tonight.

I’m a woman, I resent being place on your victim’s list.

I am also an American, and I will vote for whomever I gosh darn please to vote for… and if my choice for nominee is not chosen, I will just MAKE ANOTHER CHOICE!

nite now…

#545 pumaindy on 07.17.08 at 3:56 am

Interesting – I posted this on Washington Wire and it was there for a while but then it disappeared. Maybe respect is discouraged there….

—————————————————-

The level of anger, hatred, and threats of violence that come from BO supporters is unimaginable.

This is well documented and self-evident to anyone who reads posts by BO supporters. In general, there is a complete lack of respect for anyone who does not support BO and the ugly accusations of racism and name calling is unprecedented and unwarranted. People should feel free to disagree with one another in a respectful manner.

BO is silent on the subject of the ugliness of his supporters. Either he knows and condones the behavior (which is an evil act) or he doesn’t know and is clueless. In either case, someone with these characteristics is not anyone I choose to support for POTUS.

[[ Demand a Roll Call Vote
The issue of what to do with Hillary Clinton at the convention next month is causing all sorts of hand wringing in Obamaland. The reason? In the words of Yogi Berra, it ain’t over until the fat lady sings. In this case, the fat lady is the 823 superdelegates who won’t “sing” until they vote during the roll call at the convention. ]]

All of you are forgetting one simple but important fact:- FLORIDA AND MICHIGAN, yet to be negociated at the CREDENTIALS COMMITTEE. If they are reinstated at 100%, that delegate number goes up to 2,210.

The Credentials Committee meeting should be our target as well as the convention because the Credentials Committee meeting takes place on the first day of the Convention, unless BHO has *changed* that too.

Good morning folks… Heading to work determined to get information concerning Sen. Clinton’s name being placed in nomination. Recruited a mole yesterday. As I am playing the court jester it is easier for me to impart info then to gather it. Still hoping for rain in downeast Maine. I haven’t had a day off since early May. Wish me luck. Can’ t wait to receive my puma shirts. I’m sure they will be great conversation starters. Stay safe everyone.

actually I think the developing underground extremist movement cult´s adoring has hijacked the party(pelosi, dean, etc) and they are probably s. afraid of choosing other than goofee, which in turn leaves the whole nation sort of hijacked, these people(party) have been playing with fire and they are getting burn¡¡¡

the cult´s apparatus unpredicted that they were going to be detected easily, but altough the infrastructure changes ,totalitarian political manipulation is as old as politics, old human vices¡¡¡¡¡¡

I received this email from Barbara Adams:

A new Rasmussen Reports telephone survey findsObama Leads Bush by Twenty, But Clinton Does Better Against McCain .

Barack Obama says a vote for John McCain is a vote for George W. Bushʼs third term, but a new Rasmussen Reports telephone survey finds that the Democratic hopeful would have a much easier time of it if he were actually running against the incumbent president this year.

At a time when Obama and McCain are locked in a tight race, the poll shows that Obama would rout President Bush 54% to 34%. Looking at the Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Tracking Poll, McCain is outperforming Bush by more than 15 percentage points.

The poll results also show that Obama would have an easier go of it against two of McCainʼs chief rivals for the Republican nomination. The presumptive Democratic nominee leads former Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney by eight points 49% to 41% and former Arkansas Governor Mike Huckabee 50% to 39%.

However, McCain fares better against Obama than he does against two other prominent Democrats. New York Senator Hillary Clinton leads McCain by eight points, 50% to 42%. Former Vice President Al Gore, the Democratic presidential nominee in 2000, leads McCain 50% to 43%.

I just read on aol, Obama campaign says it raised 52 mill in June. I thought it was much lower? Anyone know why Hillarys numbers aren’t being made public?

#561 hillaryistheone on 07.17.08 at 7:31 am

The Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Tracking Poll shows Barack Obama attracting 45% of the vote while John McCain earns 41%. When “leaners” are included, it’s Obama 48% and McCain 45% (see recent daily results).

Other polling shows that, in a hypothetical match-up, Obama leads the current President by twenty percentage points

#562 hillaryistheone on 07.17.08 at 7:39 am

I would say that leading Bush by 20 points is a laugh!!!!

#567 Perry logan on 07.17.08 at 8:18 am

The Obama people are “authoritarian personality” types–just like the neocons. Authoritarians have no use for democracy. Elections are something you rig, using any means necessary. People who oppose you are evil and must be destroyed.

The authoritarian connection explains the amazing similarities between Obamites and neocons–the constant cheating, the use of character assassination, the Brownshirt tactics.

Until now, I had thought authoritarians were always right-wingers, but this heinous primary has taught us otherwise.

As for the threats, just do what I do. If somone threatens me, I just hunt them down and kill them.

PA Dem – thanks for the info from Farid Zakaria’s show. He is a favorite of mine, but I deliberately missed that program because I can’t stomach BO. I appreciate your retelling of the topic.
I don’t understand why the Republicans don’t hammer him over this blatantly obvious reversal on Jerusalem. Am I reading that right?

——-
and for the poster (I think it was mzbest) who commented on the humility of the McCain’s–they really are like that. That is something I do admire about them–they prefer to perform their charity under the radar for the most part, other than Operation Smile, which is well known. BO would probably have a t-shirt designed listing his good deeds…oh wait, maybe they already have that one–:)

Here is obamas $$ for June says they;

I have some big news we want to share with you.

In the month of June, supporters like you helped raise $52 million. And together with the DNC, we now have nearly $72 million in the bank. That’s a very strong financial position to be in.

But we remain at a massive disadvantage to our opponents.

As I mentioned in my video message earlier in the week, the McCain Campaign and the Republican National Committee finished June with nearly $100 million in the bank.

We can’t stop now. It’s going to take everything we’ve got to defeat John McCain and his allies in November.

Can you make a donation of $5 now to strengthen our movement for change?

https://notworthprinting/junenumbers

I know this isn’t the first time we’ve asked you for financial support, and it won’t be the last.

We have developed a strategy — a very aggressive strategy — that will only work if our millions of supporters continue to contribute their time and their money.

That strategy will work, and it has to. The stakes are too high and the need for change too great.

But victory is only possible with your continued help.

We can’t do this without you.

Thanks,

David

#592 doria on 07.17.08 at 9:05 am

Does BO want a peaceful, stable Iraq that would be an ally in the War on Terror?

Does BO want falling oil prices, an easing of the mortgage crunch, lower inflation, lower unemployment, and an improvement in the financial sector?

Pumas, he is praying these things won’t happen.

“Dear God, Iraq has been fairly peaceful; more suicide bombers would be helpful. But most Americans are depressed about the direction of our country, so keep up the good work. Your faithful son, Barack”

#593 vadaryl on 07.17.08 at 9:06 am

I know it must be hard to talk about but what kind of threat was it. Has it been reported to the correct authorities and maybe the press also? It may be time to let more people know what is exactly going on out there, also maybe the supers can then tell us what has happened to them too.

Public shouldn’t fall for Obama’s rhetoric

excerpt: The paper hanger, just as the lawyer, delivered wonderful, inspirational public speeches. Both spoke of the “change” and “hope” their election might bring if people would “believe in” their country. Steeped in a similar class warfare rhetoric; their speeches emphasize the rich were keeping the poor people down.
Without a track record to judge the man by, people simply fall for the rhetoric. The German people had to “believe.” They wanted “change.” And through “hope,” they only had to “believe” what Adolph Hitler and the Nazis said; without questioning what Hitler and his Marxist-Socialists pals had really designed behind the scenes.

#602 Pretjene on 07.17.08 at 9:31 am

I have experienced some threats mostly from youtubers who are hung up on being “minorities” and believe that Obama will save them based on sharing 1/2 of his skin color. Most are what I call ghetto urbanites and are under 25. I have explained to them that this is NOT about RACE although Obama has playcated to these people and preyed on their most obvious insecurity. I have also explained that any THREAT will be met with the business end of a shot gun as I am in TEXAS and we have shown to defend our right to bear arms and protect our homes and families. I have never in my life experienced such meanness from a group of people and I worked for years in a maximum security prison where the men treated me with more curteousy than the “Obama sheeple”, this includes people who committed double homocide, or violent sex crimes. It just reinforces my belief that an Obama Presidency would be an American tragedy!

#603 fedup144 on 07.17.08 at 9:31 am

I have read lots of comments all over the internet as to why people will vote or won’t vote for Obama. Let me say 1st off I share alot of the same reasons. But honestly I don’t see how at this point anyone in their right mind would vote for anyone but McCain. As Americans, we have to take our country back from these politicians. Whether u are Repub or Dem, people have to be sick of the extremists both parties continue to put up for Nom. I have to admit the repubs finally put up a candidate who moderate. This is suppose to be our country. The politicians are suppose to answer to us. The People.
I’m sick of politicians talking partisan and bi-partisan. As long as they keep putting up extremists this will never happen and thats why nothing ever gets accomplished.
Its the people, us, who have to change this. And we have the power to change it. What the DNC has done is a slap in the face to the voters from a bunch of true power hungry group of people who feel they can throw our constitution away and take control. The only way to keep something like this from ever happening again is to teach them a long hard lesson about who really has the power. The People! Its not about bitterness or revenge. Its about being sick of these politicians thinking they can con and manipulate us into falling in line and being to brain dead to question anything. Oh well, gee, I don’t know what his name is or what he stands for but hes a democrat and I’m a democrat so i guess i should vote for him. How stupid does that sound? And the scarey thing is, theres alot of people who vote like that. Its about US! The hell with the politicians! We need to send a message and a loud one. I’ll take 4 years of McCain. Hes a good candidate. Not only will this send a message to the dnc but to the rnc as well. That we are sick of the crap and we are taking our country back! So listen up, Dean, Pelosi, Brazil and any other of you power mungers. U can hide in your little rooms and make your back door deals, u can think u can control the voters but guess what? Control is an illusion. U may win the battle but u won’t win the war. Because in the end its what happens in those voting booths that shows who has the power. And not just in this election. Dean, Pelosi and Brazil, you might just be waving bye bye to your own seat in 2010! Its not about having a democrat in office. Its about who the people feel is the best person for the job! And any former cinton supporter who would vote for obama needs their head examined. I am shocked that not every single person even republican voters aren’t outraged by the DNC. Obama didn’t draw all the new voters. Clinton did. This was the 1st time in my life i voted in the primaries. And the first time in 20 years i will vote in the GE. Hillary Clinton brought me out of the shadows because for once a saw a candidate worthy of my vote. For once in my life I was excited about real change. A candidate I truly believed was worth getting excited about. Imagine my surprise. My first time I registered to be a democrat, this crap happens? How do you think that impresses me? I am actually shamed. And because I live in ohio I have to wait 2 years to change my party. I’ve said enough. But it needed to be said.

#604 heysandy on 07.17.08 at 9:39 am

Good morning, Murphy and PumaPals:

I reported about 3 weeks ago that I was walking my dog and had the audacity to politely ask an Obama supporter if he truly believed he had the experience to be POTUS. Consequently, I was called a “white, racist bitch” and was told “I know where you live.”

That’s why I can’y pass out flyers, etc. Not a good idea around here.

#605 Beca4Hillary on 07.17.08 at 9:41 am

Good morning PUMAS! This is more info regarding our precious Obambi bragging about all the community organizer accomplisments that in reality, there is practicaly NONE!

Obama’s Inexperience Tough to Ignore

Tuesday, July 15, 2008 8:56 AM

By: Ronald Kessler Article Font Size

A close look at Barack Obama’s career reveals it has been even more mediocre than generally recognized.

Before being elected to the Illinois state Senate, Obama worked as a community organizer and a lawyer in Chicago.

In his memoir, Obama says being a community organizer taught him how to motivate the powerless and work the government to help them. His chief example is an effort to remove asbestos from Altgeld Gardens, an all-black public housing project on Chicago’s South Side.

But those who were involved in the effort say Obama played a minor role in working the problem and never accomplished his goal. A pre-existing group at Altgeld Gardens and a local newspaper, the Chicago Reporter, were working on the problem before Obama came on the scene, yet Obama does not mention them in his book, “Dreams From My Father: A Story of Race and Inheritance.”

“Just because someone writes it, doesn’t make it true,” says Altgeld resident Hazel Johnson, who had been pushing for a cleanup of the cancer-producing substance years before Obama showed up.

Rep. Bobby L. Rush, D-Ill., says it was Johnson’s work, along with asbestos testing by the Chicago Reporter, that got Chicago officials interested in the issue. Rush, who launched an inquiry into the situation when he was a member of the Chicago City Council, says he is “offended” that Obama did not mention Johnson in his account.

“Was [Obama] involved in stuff? Absolutely,” says Robert Ginsburg, an activist who worked with Johnson and Obama on the problem. “But there was stuff happening before him, and after him.”

After three years working as an organizer, Obama could say he helped obtain grants for a jobs program and got asbestos removed from some pipes in the project. But as the Los Angeles Times has noted, the “large-scale change that was needed at the 1,998-unit project was beyond his reach.” To this day, most of the asbestos remains in the apartments.

Fruitless though his efforts were, Obama devoted more than 100 pages to his experiences at Altgeld Gardens and surrounding areas. Michelle Obama has said his work as a community organizer helped him decide “how he would impact the world,” assisting people to improve their lives. Yet, in a revealing passage in his book, Obama wrote, “When classmates in college asked me just what it was that a community organizer did, I couldn’t answer them directly.”

Instead, he said, “I’d pronounce on the need for change. Change in the White House, where Reagan and his minions were carrying on their dirty deeds. Change in the congress, compliant and corrupt. Change in the mood of the country, manic and self-absorbed. Change won’t come from the top, I would say. Change will come from a mobilized grass roots.”

Thus, Obama admitted that he accomplished little but that he was able to cover that up with fancy talk about change.

After going to Harvard Law School, Obama returned to Chicago, where he briefly headed a voter registration drive and then became a lawyer. While Obama’s campaign has touted him as a civil rights lawyer, “Over the nine years that Obama’s law license was active in Illinois, he never handled a trial and mostly worked in teams of lawyers who drew up briefs and contracts in a variety of cases,” according to David Mendell’s “Obama: From Promise To Power.”

A review of the cases Obama worked on during his brief legal career “shows he played the strong, silent type in court, introducing himself and his client, then stepping aside to let other lawyers do the talking,” the Chicago Sun-Times has reported.

“A search of all the cases in Cook County Circuit Court in which Obama made an appearance since he graduated from Harvard in 1991 shows: zero,” the article said.

Instead, his practice was “confined mainly to federal court in Chicago, where he made formal appearances in only five district court cases and another five in cases before the 7th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals — a total of 10 cases in his legal career,” the paper said.

If Obama had virtually no impact as either a community organizer or as a lawyer, he was even more invisible in the state Senate and later in the U.S. Senate.

In both bodies, Obama had a reputation for voting “present,” thus avoiding controversial decisions that could be used against him later. In the U.S. Senate, he has missed more than one in five votes.

Only one of the measures Obama has sponsored as a U.S. senator was enacted: a bill to “promote relief, security, and democracy in the Democratic Republic of Congo.”

Contrary to Obama’s portrayal of himself as a unifier, on every bipartisan effort in the Senate to forge compromises on tough issues, Obama has been missing in action.

In sum, it would be difficult to imagine a more mediocre record. Most candidates for dog catcher have contributed more to society. Yet with the help of adoring reporters, Obama has managed to parlay extraordinary speaking and political skills into a presidential campaign built on sand.

The idea that America might entrust its security and future to someone who has never demonstrated an ability to get anything of significance done is scary.

Look for John McCain to begin exploiting this vulnerability after Labor Day.

I just heard that Dean was suppose to be in Crawford Texas this morning looking to sign up new voters and someone from PUMA/Just Say No Deal was going to ask him about Hillary being on the ballot at the convention. Does anybody know if this took place yet.

#609 john on 07.17.08 at 9:59 am

Obama campaign plant a fake coverup story?
Did presumptive Democratic Presidential nominee Sen. Barack Obama’s campaign plant a fake story accusing itself of campaign finance irregularities, in order to portray itself as victims of right-wing allegations about the campaign’s successful Internet fund-raising?
However, the fake Maureen Dowd column has certain attributes which only persons intimately familiar with the Obama campaign would normally have privy to. The allegations in the fake Maureen Dowd story required the expertise of persons familiar with Internet technology. There are hundreds, indeed thousands of people who would have such IT expertise. But the allegations also require expertise of persons familiar with obscure provisions of Federal campaign finance regulations. Find me one person among the general public who would have intimate knowledge of Section 103.3(b) of Title 11 of the Code of Federal Regulations

Hi all I was at No Obama Radio site it says 9-10pm but I must have gotten a repeat. There will be a puma meeting Deans bus and asking if Hillarys name will be on the Nomination Ballot like Obama. They are hopeing to have someone in each state and each town. They say if you express interest in being a dem might in. Tall them puma after. Maybe after he ans could say pumas thank you. My idea that.

Maybe this is something that we need to make sure that all the SD read BEFORE the convention – may be enough to give enough of them pause to reflect and do the right thing instead of closing their eyes and blindly chanting “Obama, Obama, Obama…”

Murphy,

First of all, I am so sorry they have targeted you. Keep safe always!

Second, I have been threatened on the DNC website. These people are unbelievable. But it is not surprising. This is how they operate, and this is how all criminals, terrorists, and bad people conduct business.

I have the best security system money can buy PLUS SOME and I am very careful. Luckily I live in texas and we can basically shoot first and ask questions second…

Finally, in my family business we have to employ security weekly and one of our top advisors always reminds me that it is NOT the threats you have to worry about but the act and most threats are empty.

Stay strong, stay safe, and remember that you are herstory making history into our story–and I am forever grateful for this site, the acts we do, and the changes we will effect.

#620 writer4starz on 07.17.08 at 10:30 am

Post #232 Marc4Hill,

I find this phone call you received at 11 PM, supposedly from the DNC very odd. When this guy actually asked you if you were a PUMA (and you didn’t volunteer that information first), I would guess that this guy is NOT from the DNC. Whoever the guy was, I wonder if he already suspected that you were a PUMA and wanted to confirm this. I don’t think the DNC makes calls for donations at 11 PM (although they are getting awfully desperate; I just got a second mailing from the DNC begging for a donation, after telling them to take me off their list). I haven’t had open threats, but I do have a Hillary bumper sticker on my car and am very vocal regarding my opinions about this election. I have had cars circling the block at my home and at my office downtown. Everyone please be careful. Because their candidate is obviously going down the drain, these Kool-Aid Obama automatons will stoop at nothing. I would guess they will step up the threats as Obama’s position worsens. Everyone, please be on your guard. And speaking of guards, Murphy, I wish you would take some of the donations to PUMA and hire a body guard. I don’t think any of us would object to that. Marc4Hill, you be careful, too.

#627 Nahanni on 07.17.08 at 11:33 am

Hello!

First off I am going to post a disclaimer that I posted to a PUMA yesterday…

“I am a former card carrying member of the Minnesota DFL and still consider myself to be a centrist FDR/JFK Democrat despite how some of my posts might seem. I have also worked caucuses and conventions at the state level (including being Sergeant-at-arms for one) and have worked for a couple Presidential campaigns including Kennedy ‘80 and Clinton ‘92. My “Ronald Reagan moment” came in 2001 when I saw exactly who and what had taken over the party leadership.”

Now that you understand where I am coming from…

I read what is happening to you folks over at Gateway Pundit and wanted to come over and voice my support for you and your cause even though I am not a supporter of Hillary Clinton (please don’t be mad).

What is occurring within the Democratic party is a travesty of democracy! It is straight out of the NSDAP playbook.

I left the party when I saw what was taking the leadership over and I feared that they would pull something like this and they have. Hillary has not withdrawn her candidacy, she has not released her delegates and the rules (unless the Obmamaniacs change them) stipulate that her name should be placed in nomination, period. She is a valid candidate and she and the members of the party have the RIGHT to have the convention delegates vote as to who the best candidate is for the party. Otherwise why are they wasting everyone’s time even pretending the “convention” is an exercise in democracy and just call it their “Recreate ‘34 old style Nürnberger Parteitag “?

You MUST NOT let these Obamabastards win! If you still believe in the party and your candidate you must fight them. You have powerful and nefarious forces arrayed against you but you and the Clinton’s can win this. Obama has won NOTHING and he does not have a “commanding lead”. His actions, words and deeds as of late must have many of those superdelegates who were forced into declaring for Obama by the Dem leadership thinking long and hard.

Re: E-mail from: icount@clintondems.com

Dear Clinton Dem,

Americans are finally hearing our message around the country – and they know that we are serious in our stance: Hillary Clinton is the best possible candidate to defeat John McCain in the fall. If the party ignores that fact it will be at their own peril.

The DNC, congressional democrats and delegates are now beginning to fathom the depth of the electorate’s skepticism about the electability of their presumptive nominee. There are a vast number of voters that question whether he possesses the judgment, experience, resolve or readiness to take on the toughest job in the world. Our country is experiencing trying times not endured in decades and on-the-job-training is a luxury we can’t afford. Fortunately, we don’t have to — there is still time for the Democrats to do the right thing and allow Senator Clinton a fair and meaningful roll call vote at the convention.

The PUMA movement would never have taken off as it did if we were just a few “bitter voters”. Many Democrats are deeply disturbed by the way this primary played out — especially the lack of leadership shown by the DNC and the ill-advised alignment against our most qualified candidate, Hillary Clinton, by some party “elites”.

In conjunction with other PUMA sites, we request that you call, write, or fax to Hillary’s D.C. office and make a simple request:

“We want our delegates to have the opportunity to vote for Hillary as our “nominee” at the convention. Our votes aren’t for negotiation and our pledged delegates aren’t for negotiation. Unity doesn’t come from a declaration — it comes from action. The action that will legitimize this process is the a fair, meaningful roll call vote at the convention.

Please let Senator Clinton know that we still support her and we encourage (and expect her) to hold her ground to make sure it happens! Thank you!”

While Obama has been flopping, super delegates have been flipping. If there were no chance of Hillary winning the nomination with a roll call vote, there wouldn’t be such a strong effort to render that vote merely “symbolic”.

We are making a difference. Intelligent people are beginning to consider the possibility that we really are the voice of reason and the conscience of the Democratic Party. Please…contact Senator Clinton today and ask her to insist on a fair and meaningful roll call vote at the convention!

Washington, D.C.

United States Senate
476 Russell Senate Office Building

“All truth passes through three stages: First, it is ridiculed; Second, it is violently opposed; and Third, it is accepted as self-evident.”

#632 grlpatriot on 07.17.08 at 11:53 am

Murphy, add TexasDarlin to your list. I’m also betting that No Quarter writer, Susan (Susan UnPC), has received death threats.

#633 mini vee on 07.17.08 at 11:56 am

This is simply crazy. Death threats from fellow Dems. Such cowards, afraid of anything that makes a noise. And these are the same people who tell their kids to play nice with others kids…the same people that say they are for human rights and peace in the world.

BO NEVER! Me and my vote are not afraid of the name calling and will never back down from a threat.

#634 tatepuma on 07.17.08 at 12:04 pm

#447 BrooklynNY:
I too believe that Senator O has an alternate goal for America, you cannot lie down with dogs and don’t come up with fleas if the dogs you lie down with have them; Senator O could not be affliated with so many people that hate America and not possibly have some of those feeling. That said here is a post that I found on the article regarding disarming America. This person might be REPUB but what he is saying relates especially regarding Pelosit/Reed and the downfall of America.

And here is one more parting thought. If Obama is elected, we will see the perfect liberal storm. We must realize that by putting Obama in the White House, we unleash the full rage of Pelosi and Reed. With the far left liberals running this country, we will not recognize it in four years. I feel it is likely that a move will be made to re-write the constitution so that we can subordinate our sovereignty to international governance. This has been in the wings for a long time, and it will all be put forth with the notion of creating a permanent peace. The constitution, and particularly the second amendment, is the only thing standing in their way if Obama gets elected.

I do not think that McCain is all that I would desire in a president. I do think, though, that a more acceptable conservative candidate would have no chance to beat Obama. We need to quit complaining about McCain and focus on the real problem here, and that is having the far left liberals take full control of this country. They will take your guns, then they will take your money, and through it all they will take your freedom. Before you know it, the US will no longer exist. If this sounds alarmist, that is because there should be alarms going off all over the place right now. We cannot blithely stand by while this travesty unfolds. We need to deal with it at the ballot box.

#635 fitz on 07.17.08 at 12:19 pm

Does this scare anyone else?

“We cannot continue to rely on our military in order to achieve the national security objectives we’ve set. We’ve got to have a civilian national security force that’s just as powerful, just as strong, just as well-funded.”
Obama, July 2,2008

If it is made up of Obamabots, I’m moving to Canada if he’s elected. Obama stormtroopers?

#648 NYCgirl on 07.17.08 at 1:09 pm

Murphy and all,

I would like to remind PUMAs that arrogant leaders attract equally arrogant followers. They will resort to viciousness when they see their territory being seriously threatened.

And what they fail to see is: Fearless, tough, tenacious, passionate leaders attract equally fearless, tough, tenacious and passionate followers, who will not back down, never give up, and never listen to those who tell us to quit. There is no “quit” in Hillary Clinton, and there is no “quit” in us — we are HER PUMAs. She created us by example.

If the Obots are waiting for us to roll over and play “dead” — just like they tried to get Hillary to do — then they have a fight on their hands that they could never imagine.

Welcome to the fight, PUMAs.

As my mom and dad would say,

NOW YOUR’E COOKIN’ WITH GAS”

Great historical fact finding on FDR.

Great video too.

Now, remember Michigan and Florida and the CREDENTIALS COMMITTEE.

The number of delegates needed to win is not 2,118 but 2,210 that is, *if* FL and MI are reinstated at their *FULL* 100% value.

That means not only would the number be reset to reflect the popular vote or the will of the people, but it would close the gap between the two candidates. That closing of the gap could become an eye-opener for the delegates at the Convention floor, and our Hillary just may end up being the Party’s nominee.

There is suppose to be another meeting of some rules committee on or around July 22nd and then the Credentials Committee meets on the first day of the convention. And I am sure, both Hillary and BHO are in negociations about this.

#653 cosmeta on 07.17.08 at 1:36 pm

Florida and Michigan should still be the target, because I would bet my bottom dollar that a lot of Michigan residents and Florida residents don’t know that their states can STILL BE REPRESENTED AT 100% DELEGATE VALUE

Giving Hillary back the popular vote on May 31st was a way to *appease* the people. But it still does not resolve issues going forward on the convention floor.

So my suggestion would be to TARGET FLORIDA AND MICHIGAN NEWSPAPERS and get the word out so that the Will of the People be heard!


CREDENTIALS COMMITTEE
CREDENTIALS COMMITTEE
CREDENTIALS COMMITTEE

Meets the 1st day of the Convention unless BHO has change the date and the rule for that one also. And I think, (but not 100% sure, that there is another rules meeting in or around July 22nd) to plan for going ahead.

[[ cosmeta, how do we reach the credentials committee?]]

Keyword: dnc credential committee

I’ve been trying to find out more about it but not much luck… It’s something I am sure Hillary and her lawyers ans well as BHO team are negociating though. Matter of fact, I heard that a long time ago on some tv cable news, but can’t locate info on it. But I think it is very important. What I remember is, that once BHO was named party nominee, he had control over the DNC party rules going forward and that he could set the agenda at the Credentials Committee and at Convention. Last I remember, some of the *same* people on the DNC May 31st Rules and Bylaws Committee are also on the Credentials Committee, so I would assume (but do not know) that perhaps they should be the ones to ask.

Not sure!!!

Oh gosh… I really don’t know. You got to realize that prior to this election I’ve never been involved in politics. And besides, I am a registered Republican so except for what I’ve seen on cable news and read on the Internet I am also in the dark.

But still, I PRESS the issue.

I am hoping those more knowledgable than I can help you…. Murphy, MaryLand, Trish, someone… anyone.

But,

I might make a go at trying to contact some of Hillary’s top spokesperson, that woman with the reddish hair… harold ickes, wolfson, hell… even paul pegala or that James Carvelle of CNN.

I was ticked off at the 2000 Al Gore election and I am just as upset at this one…. BECAUSE, whatever happens to one party… if they get away with it, then next cycle the other party will try it… and before you know it all our freedoms will be taken away from us.

For me, it’s a matter of PRINCIPLE and DEMOCRACY!

You wouldn’t believe what my mom could do with a nice ham bone and split peas… or what she could do with those neck bones in a pot of tomatoe sauce.

And me… I remember wearing my father’s old socks for mittens…. So I see parallels to this years election also.

I bet. My mom and dad lived in Ft Laudadale before they passed away, and I have a sister and brother in Davie along with their married children. But most of them are republicans and are not even interested in talking to me about this… so it’s hard for me to get a grasp on it.

But I would be FUMING if I lived in Florida.

Absurdity:
http://www.nydailynews.com/news/politics/2008/07/08/2008-07-08_democrats_roll_call_brouhaha-3.html

“Rep. Charles Rangel (D-Manhattan), a top Clinton loyalist and a superdelegate, said he intends to vote for Obama in Denver. But he said it’s up to the party’s winner and runnerup, appearing together at fund-raisers in the city Wednesday and Thursday, to work things out.

“‘If Obama and their people agree to give a symbolic vote for the women for Hillary, I don’t have a problem with it,’ he said. ‘We just want a successful convention and an overwhelming victory. One thing we don’t want is a fight.’”

“A symbolic vote for the women”???

Got misogyny? Haha.

Good Afternoon PUMAS!

I was trying to catch up on reading the posts. I just had to comment to #38 1of18MilforHill08 about the fundraising idea. That would be great!! The only thing that makes me sick is the fact that *61 and I share the same B-day!!

I guess that I’ll get back to reading the posts.

Just remembered… It was Hillary who mentioned the full delegate count at the AugusLeader, just prior to the So Dakota primary.

Hillary: I find a lot of people have been trying to push me out of this race ever since Iowa.

Reporter: Why?

Hillary; I dont know.

Reporter: Why? Why?

Hillary: I don’t know, I really don’t understand it. You know between my opponent, his camp and the media there has been this urgency to end this… and historically it makes no sense.

Reporter: You don’t buy the idea of party unity.

Hillary: Again.. no because I’ve been around long enough. You know my husband did not wrap up the nomination in 1992 when he won the primary in what June—right

Reporter: June

Hillary: We all remember Bobbie Kennedy was assassinated in June… in California… You know I, I just don’t understand it… and there is lots of speculation about why it is but—

Reporter: What’s your speculaion?

Hillary: You know… I don’t know… I find it curious and I don’t want to attribute motives or stratagies of people because I really don’t know

Note: the above mention of Bobbie Kennedy has since been removed from that site, and so is the entire blog where I was posting to and encountered hate speech from paid BHO bloggers.

Posted someplace on my own web site forum:
Let’s see… Senator Obama can envoke the names of JF Kennedy; and Martin Luther King but God forbid that Bill mention the name Jesse Jackson or Hillary mention the name RFk everyone is in an uproar.

When asked by media again why she was stil in the race she was merely saying that HISTORICALLY races have gone on much longer than this one and that there is absolutely no reason for her to get out of the race since she is in a virtual tie. In other words she was saying she is in it to win it.

I mean… what is the big deal… they each have a security team guarding them… that’s for a reason. For example a few weeks ago three Obama campaign centers were bombs or vandalized ( I was not sure which) because the story was only run once and for 20 seconds. After that it was stopped and we do have to wonder why.

__________
Now—-and now, July 17, those from PUMA are being targeted… and this kind of media cover-up is not good.

Note: It was in this video that Hillary also mentioned the delegate count going to 2,210 if Florida and Michigan were seated at 100%. So perhaps, if you do a web search look to the May 23rd date for info or just prior to that date.

Sorry if this post is all jumbled… I am really caught for time today.

The operative phrase in Rangel’s statement to me is:

‘We just want a successful convention and an overwhelming victory. One thing we don’t want is a fight.’ ”

At this rate, I don’t think the convention is going to be too “successful,” do you? And it looks pretty obvious there is going to be a pretty big “fight” – before, after and during the convention. The “Unity Express” never left the station. Not really surprising though ’cause it had paper wheels and no engine. It runs on “HOPE” and “CHANGE,” not gasoline, so for some strange reason, it just couldn’t move down the track. But it sure is pretty. :)

What that statement Rangel made says to me is: “He’s open to reconsidering his position.” I suggest using the arguments he’s stated, i.e. successful convention, overwhelming victory and no fight, as arguments to encourage him and others (from NY) to go back to Hillary.

I’m from NY. Hillary got huge support from the NY delegation. Most, if not all, of them them stuck by her to the VERY END. Didn’t officially switch over to Obama until AFTER Hillary gave her June 7 speech.

Don’t alienate them. They’d probably be more than happy to switch back to her, if there was a good way to do it and still appear as loyal Democrat team players.

Hello PUMA’s!!!!! I have been trying to log in to blog with you for a while, and this is my first success. I am new at blogging, so I feel inexperienced right now . I am so happy. I read your comments, and I love them. I have been faithfully following Murphy’s calls to action, even though you haven’t heard from me. I just completed today’s prowl, and I am more than ready from the new one. Let’s make Hillary our candidate. I can’t stand to hear Obama’s voice on the news anymore. His voice, his words, his arrogance, his racism, his lies just nauseate me..Please keep blogging. I look forward everyday to reading what you have to say. Murphy, I am so sorry you received death threats, but you knew that the Obama idiots would resort to this, since nothing else seems to be working. But, please keep this threat and all other threats in the forefront, and protect yourself and your family. Thank you for what you are doing. You gave me hope when I was in deep despair.

Regarding Florida…

Think there were 3 lawsuits filed during the course of the Primaries… each one shot down by Federal judges.

But if you do a web search for FIND LAW you may come across the names of the individuals who filed the lawsuits and they might be willing to help you.

I am just very surprised that a class action lawsuit has not been filed. But now… I am not sure if that would fly since the DNC gave the people back their popular vote so they may not have a leg to stand on.

The Steven Geller lawsuit also had others involved… 1 clinton supporter and 1 BHO supporter. Geller himeself was originally for Johh Edwards, me thinks.

Obama: Does He Know What on Earth He’s Doing
Full coverage of UK politics
Gerald Warner, on his rather brilliant blog ‘Is it just me?’, has had a good go at Barack Obama. It’s clear that Gerald is going to like Obama even less than he liked Tony Blair. And that is saying something.

But the Democratic contender’s attempts to flesh out his supposed foreign policy ahead of next week’s visit to Europe suggest the man barely has a clue on the subject. This should worry us all.

In this week’s key-note address (why are these things always key-note?) he laid out the beginnings of a supposed Obama doctrine on foreign policy and pretty thin it is too. The Truman doctrine, which set the West on the road to winning the cold war more than four decades later, was as clear-minded as Obama’s is not. He says he will focus on “five goals essential to making America safer”. I’ll try to deal with each one.

1) “Ending the war in Iraq responsibly”. Well, yes, and what does he think the US has been trying to do since the Surge was launched? It has made much progress, now how does he propose to get America out, short of withdrawing lots of troops in a hurry? I’ve heard nothing approaching a proper answer from him – and he’s been making speeches on the subject for what now seems like years.

Senator Obama is a despicable man. He is leading an army of mindless bots to the precipice. Doesn’t anyone realize that he is lying? Doesn’t anyone realize that he is manipulating the media? Doesn’t anyone realize that he is bad? I don’t understand why the media has to glorify him with stories about his exercise routine. I don’t care. I only care that Obama doesn’t become president. He has created a cult and for this reason I am going to study abroad if Obama becomes president because I don’t want to have to see the destruction. Maybe I’ll go to Australia or Japan. I don’t know, but I can’t stay here and watch the cultist destroy the country that I love with his deceit.

So sorry to be so late replying to your post. I meant to do so last night, but got tangled up in another thread and then could barely keep my eyes open to find it again. But here goes:

—————-
If Hillary did get the nomination after all but it came with the condition that she take Obama as her VP, that would STILL be UNACCEPTABLE to me. I don’t want him anywhere NEAR the Oval Office! I’m in no mood for some shadow government plotting and scheming in the basement of the White House a la Oliver North during the contra affair.

I stick to my guns. Hillary. NOBAMA. Not anywhere! Not now. Not ever.

Why settle? Let Hillary chose her VP, should she be the nominee. Why should she compromise? Why should we?

Even if it can be largely a token job, (although it sure hasn’t been so for Cheney), there are infinitely more qualified and able people for the job than Mr. HOPE & CHANGE!

A mission to the Space Station might be a good appointment/assignment for him though (if he was VP), at least then he’d be in his element….

Greetings PUMAS,

I don’t blog often but I had to share these last two experiences.

First I get an email from Best Friends Sanctuary requesting that I sign for the “Obama Family Dog”. I sent them an email requesting to be removed from their list for the (obvious) reasons that I did not want to be associated with an organization that supported a person who disregarded others rights and felt that certain members of society have no value.

Then I get an email back assuring me that this is just for fun, bipartisan, blah, blah, had nothing to do with a particular candidate or stance.

I responded that what they were doing, had everything to do with the “selected” presumptive nominee. Meaning giving him more free publicity. I said I appreciated what they do for animals but from now on I’ll have to give my support to another animal rescue group.

It felt sooooo good! And I’m going to spread the word. Best Friends Animal Sanctuary is in the Tank for *61.

Last thing, my husband got a call from Country Wide Loans the other day asking us if we wanted a new home loan. He told them we wanted *61’s sweetheart deal and hung up! We both laughed about that one.

That’s all for now. I have been busy spreading the word, the wonderful links here have been most useful. This has got to be the greatest community around, of course I’m not getting a lot done, but I’m usually close by.

Blessings,

#688 NativeFlower on 07.17.08 at 5:08 pm

GreytDays and others,

I wonder if everyone is aware of the fact that according to VoteSmart.org…. Hillary’s voting record for the Humane Society has been supportive 100% four times out of SIX times voting in Animal Welfare legislative sessions (the other two were 86% and 75% supportive) while Ick Face has a voting record of 20, 60, 60 and 75% in four opportunities to support Animal Rights.

If you get one pleaseimmediately delete it and run a scan. This is reliable information, it’s also posted on my home account site. So Murphy, by morning I’ll probably have to reset my name and password… D**n! Posted this last nite but everyone was gone. Also can someone please tell me how to know a cookie or hidden file is bad. I found one from google with tracking info, ie-gender, birthdate. I scanned for spyware and adware, and found none. so I went to internet tools and viiewed files and there are tons of cookies and hidden files, I don’t want to delete all, just the bad ones before I change my email, can someone please help me on this, so I can get on with the prowl &growl.

Hello Pumas

I wanted to attach part of a WP article about *61 opening 20 offices in VA. It is a very interesting perspective about *61’s hype. He is really a control freak like President Nixon.

“Dave “Mudcat” Saunders, a Democratic strategist in Roanoke, said Obama will have to do a lot more than just open offices if he hopes to improve his standing in the more conservative parts of the state. ”

“It’s a good strategy, but rather than have 20 campaign offices all across Virginia, he is going to have to make a lot of visits, especially out here,” Saunders said. “He is not doing well out here. I don’t care what the polls say. . . . He can open offices on every corner, but if he doesn’t talk to these people, he is not going to win Virginia.”

#698 1voice2stopcorruption on 07.17.08 at 8:44 pm

What is the story with Hillary Clinton these days anyway? I visited the link to the Huffington Post and was a bit confused about her distancing herself from Lieberman.

I know that she has to watch her pees and cues. Maybe this is just another attempt to take hope away.

Now I hear that these major anchors are following Obambie over seas.

Dean Takes Question Will Hillary Be On Ballot
At the rally beforehand, there were chants of “four more years.” When asked if he would run for another term, he said that he wasn’t thinking about it. In fact, he said that since Barack Obama would be the next President, and since the President traditionally chooses the next DNC chair, he did not anticipate being around for four more years. In short, he was happy with his term, and wasn’t running againWhen asked about the ads criticizing him and Speaker Pelosi for Clinton supposedly not being on the ballot at the convention, he scoffed. Clinton will be on the ballot at the convention, and will be speaking there. Dean indicated that the rules were so clear on this matter, that the groups running these ads and spreading these rumors must be associated with the other internet rumors going around, such as Obama being a Muslim. He also speculated that McCain supporters might be behind these rumors.

Obama Leaves No Paper Trail

BARACK OBAMA

No Paperwork For Obama Grants From 1997 To 2000

From the Chicago Sun-Times article on grants distributed by then-state-legislator Barack Obama.

(Records from 1997 to 2000 weren’t available.)

There’s a shock.

His state legislative office records may have been thrown out, he told us.

He’s never released a specific list of law clients, instead giving a list of all of his firm’s clients, numbering several hundred each year. His campaign will only confirm representation when the media comes to them with a specific case.

What infuriates me is how BHO slammed Hillary saying that she voted for the war while he had the good judgement to vote against it. He sold himself as the PURELY anti-war (no if’s, and’s or but’s) candidate while accusing Hillary of supporting Bush’s Iraq war policies but now that he has gotten the nomination, his stand changes. Is this the kind of guy we Americans want to be the leader of our country?

#708 Seattlegirl on 07.18.08 at 12:14 am

I have been peeking in on your comments but didn’t have enough time to log on. I agree with Murphy that there is something about the BO campaign and their creeps that make them need to threaten women. That is the way he chose to address women who were for Hillary as soon as she suspended her campaign. He basically said “you women have to vote for me or you will lose your reproductive rights, so line up behind me now”. The fact that his goons are threatening female PUMAs lives does not surprise me. BO is clearly the great hope of misogynist everywhere.

I’ve had a house full of guests this last week so I am just now also catching up with my Emails. You’ll love this.

I was saying something similar about MoveOn.org recently.

#712 mccaindemo on 07.18.08 at 1:31 am

Am I the only one appalled at the media circus following corrupt Obama overseas?? WHAT is wrong with our country and what can we do to protest this blatant display of election manipulation?? How about protest letters to the major networks PUMAS…let them hear us roar…we need to take our country from the clutches of these quacks that pass for journalists…we are in a fight for this country and can’t sit on the sidelines just letting it happen. Obama has changed positions so much I am dizzy but where is the mature commentary from Williams,Couric,and the other guy at ABC not to mention the bulk of the cable programs. And is it necessary for Obama give a “speech” about every single thing he backtracks on??? WHERE IS THE OUTRAGE? 10,000(OR MORE) LETTERS, FAXES,EMAILS TO THE NETWORKS just might get their attention…but the circus leaves town pretty soon and the photo ops of hoards of people (a fair amount bought and paid for no doubt) will only drive home how far our media has fallen into pure propaganda…by the way even Fox is now leaning towards Obama,guess they got the ‘word’ from their brass to hop on board the train over the precipice. “For the first time in my adult life.”…I am afraid for my country. I have been a lifelong Democrat and find it bizarre watching a despot in training taking the reins of my beloved party.

#715 Seattlegirl on 07.18.08 at 2:20 am

Well here is the deal. All of the networks and cable channels are owned by 5 companies. All of them. No one else can bring a channel or programing to market because of this cartel. These people also own the satellite TV delivery system and the cable system. We pay money to rent the connection to the TV cable and we should be able to pick the channels we receive. But no, we are force fed a group of channels from the cartel. These channels we think of as entertainment or news venues but the Cartel sees them as advertising venues. They make advertising money based on how many homes their ad venues reach. So they force feed them to us and keep everyone else from having a voice. Everything would change if we were able to refuse MSNBC and CNN etc and not pay for them. Then the Media Cartel would be responsive to The People or they would go out of business. But now they are only responsive to Corporate America who are their advertisers. Obviously BO the puppet is the choice of Corporate America. I really think the spectacle of BO and the “Stars” is going to make people want to puke. There are a whole lot of people who know at a core level that anything the Media is behind must be crap.

[[ What infuriates me is how BHO slammed Hillary saying that she voted for the war while he had the good judgement to vote against it.]]

But, but, but… He didn’t vote for anything because he wasn’t a senator yet… He was just running, and gave ONE SPEECH at a Jessi Jackson event.

Once he became a US senator he has voted just like everyone else to fund the war. He is also the head of the Foreign Relations Committee and hasn’t held not one meeting… Cause he’s too busy campaigning for the presidency.

All he’s done his whole life is get one job to add onto his resume’ and then on to the next project. So my mind says, how long will it take him before he gets bored with being president.

I give him 6 months.

Yes I am a Republican but I am one those crazy people who actually think a functioning two party democracy is actually healthy for our society.

All of the death threats and sign burnings are unacceptable. At the same time, much of what PUMA is doing is counterproductive. The fact is Obama beat Hillary. The race was hers to lose and she lost it. I can[t and wont make excuses for her but some of the PUMA anger is unfair and bad for the party.

The Democratic party is really going off into the deep end and Obamaites and PUMAs need to grow up and remember that civility and intelligent discourse are the only answer.

We got different answers to this question when we called the DNC and they’ve refused to release an official statement. Also, Obama himself indicated to top Clinton fundraisers the issue would be “negotiated”. Either Obama didn’t know the rules or the DNC is not going to fight this one.

There were a couple of PUMAS who recorded their conversations with the DNC. If they are a legal recording (ie from a one-party consent state) be sure to save the recording.

Republican Thinker thanks for the comment. You said,

“The fact is Obama beat Hillary.”

No. He didn’t. That’s the point. If it had been a fair and democratic process, most of us would go on with our lives and pray for this country. We would not be raising our voices. As time goes on, the true source of vitriol wil be abundantly clear.

The Democratic Party IS divided. Telling voters to be quiet and sweep the dirt under the rug will only feed the larger problem. Democracy is messy sometimes, but that’s how it works.

I logged on this morning and read that the guy that created/hosted the site was not doing it anymore. Where is everyone?

I’m a Republican, too, and it seems to me that Hillary should be the presumptive candidate for the Democrats. There seems to have been some foul play in the Democratic Party. I truly believe the Mrs. Clinton will be our 44th US President, so you folks are doing a good job. Mr. McCain I respect as a patriot and for his service to our country. He has done his best. He needs to give himself a break and enjoy the rest of what life has to offer him. Politics isn’t everything. Mrs. Clinton is the most capable, health-wise and experience-wise for this job. So let’s let her do it!

I post on the AOL Boards and “The Oborg” are running scared and making several threads spreading the false claim about P.U.M.A. being a “secret GOP operation” lol. I have been called a “racist,idiot,bigot and scumbag” because I won’t support Obama. The Obama supporters refuse to discuss his votes ( and lack of) and his judgement making without resorting to deflect and divert questions as their answers, they are acting like the 28%’s ( bush supporters).

You ask about trivial voting reasons: representative democracy is based on the hope that such people will cancel each other out, and leave the thinking “swing” voters in charge. It does not always work; populist crazes and willing victims of demagoguery can win. But, as Churchill said, it’s “the worst sytem of government, except for all the others which have been tried from time to time.”

For a non-professional, you did very well in describing the sociopath/psychopath. There’s another interesting point, though: they can get very emotional — about themselves and the “suffering” they’ve had to endure, however trivial or imaginary. This is not sophistry, it’s actual empathy for their self-image.

The social/moral functions in the frontal lobes are getting no “juice”. In fact, they down deep believe others are stubbornly faking all that stuff, and have developed skills to push buttons to get the “programmed” responses they want. And to pretend they also have them.

It’s like we all have “handles” that we offer each other, to allow each other to influence and be influenced. When you think you’ve grasped a ‘path’s handles, though you suddenly find it was mirage, and vanishes from your hand. It takes some time and repeated experience of this to actually realize that emotionally there’s “no one home” in this respect.

There are varying degrees, of course. It has been found in longitudinal studies that children who were best at lying and pulling off deceptions ended up as the most successful “leaders” and politicians. Beware.

Don’t be too sanguine about that. If the 13 have machetes, and the 87 don’t, there are historical examples galore to suggest the 13 can take over.

Beware!

“I really feel that most people are not extremists and would never carry through with such a thing as what’s been reported about your welfare.” It’s not “most people” that are at issue here. It only takes a rabid few to do the dirty. Inability to fathom some others’ depravity is a serious vulnerability.

Yep, black on black.
