So if you fancy yourself the Democrats’ Karl Rove — an unbeatable master of politics and strategy, how come the Grand Tour was such a flop for your guy? Sinking in blue swing states, tanking in red states. . . Most Americans believe the Ego Trip, I mean World Tour, hurts or doesn’t help his chances in November. Your guy can’t even make a dent against an old guy who hasn’t even begun to campaign against you in earnest. You’re losing during the warm-up? Oops. Groan.
Now what? Time to start huddling with your astroturfers, hackers, and bundlers? You sly devil! I see you reaching for that card up your sleeve — you know the one with the big “R” on it. Very clever. I know! Better yet! Why don’t you blame that monster, Hillary Clinton, for ruining everything?! Oh dang — you already forced her from the race. Too bad for you. What’s that you say, David?
WAHHHHHHH!! WAHHHH!!! Yeah, man — I hear ya.

UPDATE July 26, 2008 at 9:47am: Puma PAC received a $3,000 donation on Thursday. We are enormously grateful and humbled by the generosity of the gift. Margie’s daughter J, who set up the donation, sent an email this morning, part of which I’d like to share with you:
There are so many women everywhere who wish that they could give, just don't put a name to it. You could use my mother's name Margie. I cannot really type much without crying but she was so excited about Hillary, as was I, and her life was much like what the DNC did to Hillary so this has been doubly painful. Also, I am getting ready to meet with a group of VIP's next week and I am going to encourage them to join and match. If I hadn't given so much to Hillary, I would have had more. Never in my life have I wished for money more than now. I rescue everything--from people to animals--so I don't have much. However, if I win the lottery it will be yours and Hillarys.
Thank you so much Margie and J. Your contribution will go a LONG way to helping Puma PAC be the strongest and most effective Voice of the Voters in American history. We will be working every day and night to make sure that stories like your mother’s, and Hillary’s, become part of the past.

OMG! I’m first!
thanks cjv! I’ll keep you posted. I’ll be 40 in February, so I have a few months to procrastinate!
OK, no way to catch up on last nights blog but let me say, I was disgusted reading about WI. If she did brake the rules, I guess we need to live with it but this is just another clear example of how suffocating the DNC has become.
And as far as these crowds that he supposedly draws, I am sick and tired of MSM not reporting the concerts and now free beer?
I think hitting the media is the only way and unfortunately, they are nothing more than corporate whores looking for $$$, so any amount of media exposure is the way to go.
I have several errands and places to be today, I will print off a fresh stack of PUMA literature and distribute every where I can
Remember first one to post comment needs to donate! haHa
Hey Murphy,

Good morning fellow PUMAS! Sunny Saturday in Florida! Here is an analisys about Obambi’s visit to Berlin, they actually talk about how naive and ignorant this men is when it comes to history! Can you imagine foreign policy? Ha!
One World? Obama’s on a different planet.
July 26, 2008
By John R. Bolton
LA TIMES – Sen. Barack Obama said in an interview the day after his Berlin speech that it “allowed me to send a message to the American people that the judgments I have made and the judgments I will make are ones that are going to result in them being safer.”
If that is what the senator thought he was doing, he still has a lot to learn about both foreign policy and the views of the American people. Although well received in the Tiergarten, the Obama speech actually reveals an even more naive view of the world than we had previously been treated to in the United States. In addition, although most of the speech was substantively as content-free as his other campaign pronouncements, when substance did slip in, it was truly radical, from an American perspective.
These troubling comments were not widely reported in the generally adulatory media coverage given the speech, but they nonetheless deserve intense scrutiny. It remains to be seen whether these glimpses into Obama’s thinking will have any impact on the presidential campaign, but clearly they were not casual remarks. This speech, intended to generate the enormous publicity it in fact received, reflects his campaign’s carefully calibrated political thinking. Accordingly, there should be no evading the implications of his statements. Consider just the following two examples.
First, urging greater U.S.-European cooperation, Obama said, “The burdens of global citizenship continue to bind us together.” Having earlier proclaimed himself “a fellow citizen of the world” with his German hosts, Obama explained that the fall of the Berlin Wall and the reunification of Europe proved “that there is no challenge too great for a world that stands as one.”
Perhaps Obama needs a remedial course in Cold War history, but the Berlin Wall most certainly did not come down because “the world stood as one.” The wall fell because of a decades-long, existential struggle against one of the greatest totalitarian ideologies mankind has ever faced. It was a struggle in which strong and determined U.S. leadership was constantly questioned, both in Europe and by substantial segments of the senator’s own Democratic Party. In Germany in the later years of the Cold War, Ostpolitik — “eastern politics,” a policy of rapprochement rather than resistance — continuously risked a split in the Western alliance and might have allowed communism to survive. The U.S. president who made the final successful assault on communism, Ronald Reagan, was derided by many in Europe as not very bright, too unilateralist and too provocative.
But there are larger implications to Obama’s rediscovery of the “one world” concept, first announced in the U.S. by Wendell Willkie, the failed Republican 1940 presidential nominee, and subsequently buried by the Cold War’s realities.
The successes Obama refers to in his speech — the defeat of Nazism, the Berlin airlift and the collapse of communism — were all gained by strong alliances defeating determined opponents of freedom, not by “one-worldism.” Although the senator was trying to distinguish himself from perceptions of Bush administration policy within the Atlantic Alliance, he was in fact sketching out a post-alliance policy, perhaps one that would unfold in global organizations such as the United Nations. This is far-reaching indeed.
Second, Obama used the Berlin Wall metaphor to describe his foreign policy priorities as president: “The walls between old allies on either side of the Atlantic cannot stand. The walls between the countries with the most and those with the least cannot stand. The walls between races and tribes; natives and immigrants; Christian and Muslim and Jew cannot stand. These now are the walls we must tear down.”
This is a confused, nearly incoherent compilation, to say the least, amalgamating tensions in the Atlantic Alliance with ancient historical conflicts. One hopes even Obama, inexperienced as he is, doesn’t see all these “walls” as essentially the same in size and scope. But beyond the incoherence, there is a deeper problem, namely that “walls” exist not simply because of a lack of understanding about who is on the other side but because there are true differences in values and interests that lead to human conflict. The Berlin Wall itself was not built because of a failure of communication but because of the implacable hostility of communism toward freedom. The wall was a reflection of that reality, not an unfortunate mistake.
Tearing down the Berlin Wall was possible because one side — our side — defeated the other. Differences in levels of economic development, or the treatment of racial, immigration or religious questions, are not susceptible to the same analysis or solution. Even more basically, challenges to our very civilization, as the Cold War surely was, are not overcome by naively “tearing down walls” with our adversaries.
Throughout the Berlin speech, there were numerous policy pronouncements, all of them hazy and nonspecific, none of them new or different than what Obama has already said during the long American campaign. But the Berlin framework in which he wrapped these ideas for the first time is truly radical for a prospective American president. That he picked a foreign audience is perhaps not surprising, because they could be expected to welcome a less-assertive American view of its role in the world, at least at first glance. Even anti-American Europeans, however, are likely to regret a United States that sees itself as just one more nation in a “united” world.
The best we can hope for is that Obama’s rhetoric was simply that, pandering to the audience before him, as politicians so often do. We shall see if this rhetoric follows him back to America, either because he continues to use it or because Sen. John McCain asks voters if this is really what they want from their next president.

Good Morning PUMAs. I just went to “Audacity Watch” and this site is listed. Unfortunately, there’s no one leaving any comments yet………..make your voice known and let everyone know on the new site what you are doing.

Good morning Puma’s.
Any news on what is going on in the polls?
The Racism Cry Returns
Joe Klein says that anyone horrible enough to suggest that Obama — who isn’t even the official nominee of his party — is being a bit presumptuous in touring Europe and the Middle East automatically couples that criticism with “the subterranean tinge of racism.”
Andrew Greeley says that black Americans (all, apparently) and the rest of the world will “scream racism” if Obama is defeated by John McCain. Greeley says that “Only the innocent and the naive think that the November election will not be about race.”
New York governor David Paterson recently suggested at the national meeting of the NAACP that an Obama loss is a racist victory.
I will not insult your intelligence and vainly attempt to assuage my supposed white guilt by claiming “some of my best friends are black,” or revealing the racial background of my college roommate, and the artist who dominates my music collection. I refuse to do so not because it is a cliché, but because it is unnecessary for the non-racist to do so.

Any confirmation on if the Edwards story is true? I was hoping Joe Biden or Edwards for Hill’s VP.
Vonay
Snowtiger is a male.
And a tiny request from this techie PUMA who has been working her paws off behind the scenes to get eager new PUMAs onboard.
PLEASE LET ME KNOW ALL SYSTEMS ARE OPERATIONAL for you!
I’m spending a lot of time checking the blog for those who made it and checking in with those who didn’t!
Gracias.
I have been called a racist twice just because I am not voting for Berry. It is frustrating. So John, I will not go into my diverse family and friends just to prove that I am not a racist as you do not need to as well.
I believe ya!
Maryland Puma,
She is, uh he is? Uh…. like yeah I knew that.
;oD <—laughing at myself.
Murphy,
My friends tell me I am word-lexic. ( A name they made up for me trying to be funny)
#29 Maryland
I sent you an email a few days ago re. a reply to a letter I sent . Did you ever see it?
I’m in!
Margie and J
Thank you from a single mom with a budget in the red. Your generous donation will help PUMA PAC get the message out to those who have been LEFT OUT, COUNTED OUT, and TOLD WE NO LONGER MATTER.
It will also enable so many PUMAs to realize their dreams of making it to Denver and having their voice heard and existence counted.
In your mother’s honor, I would like to carry a sign with her name. If that is acceptable, would you please email Murphy or me at Marylandpuma@gmail.com com with that info?
Again, thank you, from all of us here at PUMA PAC.
MarylandPUMA
Thank You so much Margie & J, I know there are many of us that wish we could give more.
People like you are what this country is all about!!
Thank You murphy for all your hard work, you have the heart and soul of many.
Let me figure out which one of my stranded pumas you are in my email! LOL
Your email doesn’t match your username so it’s a little difficult with 1000 emails in your inbox. LOL
All the news organizations have tracking devices in place to count clicks on newsitems appearing online and every click on
obama news items reflects somewhere in poll numbers. So if people stop doing that, his numbers will go down.
They interpret clicks as interest in hearing what the boy has to say or as has done, not knowing we really wish he would just shut up and go home.
OOOOHHHHHHH
I found you Rancho! LOL. Yeppers. You keep that going, ya hear?
I’m glad you made it in. Were there any mistakes in the directions I sent you?
Rancho, Welcome!
Maryland .. Let me try to refresh your memory without saying too much. ( Decided against gmail for many reasons. You offered to set it up for me late one night.)
. . .high on hopium, and seeing pink elephants:)!
When any candidate injects ‘race’ into a campaign it instantly brings division. The one who does so is the worst kind of bigot, who is afraid to stand on any other possible merits. In truth, there is really, scientifically proven, only one race and it’s the Human Race.
Obama needs to be thrown out with the rest of the garbage in America.
Murphy
U have male.
LOL
#40
See #38. ;D
Murphy,
You have in the opening of the thread that “she’s not in the race anymore.”
PFFFT. Can I request an edit?
No mistakes at all . . just trouble with my 58 yr.old fingers. You guys just move to fast for me! Dwp and Amarissa gave me an opportunity to practice last night
You were GREAT and very supportive!
What did you think of the response I got. I felt a little hopeful!
I have been on Guardian with Sugarsmack(obdrinker) think he left. but I think I got a few in.
Good Morning Pumas, and to all new pumas, and to all international pumas!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Again my local nbc So. Cal news is doing equal coverage on the candidates for the last couple of days, makes me think that something is being heard…….
My 3 gripes today…first SHAME on Bo for not visiting the troops, I don’t think he will ever live that down……2nd SHAME on whoever stripped Debra of her delegate for being an individual….3rd SHAME on the DNC thinking they can tell anyone to fall in line………my hope is Bo loses, then is not elected back to the senate then fades away back in his state that doesn’t even support him………….
Have a good PUMA day!!!!!!!!!!!
Maryland . . I sent you a comment later that night with the email and attachment, but you were already gone I think. ( I’m on California time)
Thank you, Vonay . . great to be here.

Detroit Mayor Kilpatrick Profanity, Violence On Detective
DETROIT (AP) – A detective working a criminal case against Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick said coincidence led him to a house to try to deliver a subpoena.
Brian White wasn’t prepared for what he said followed: a physical confrontation with the beefy mayor that involved a profanity-laced tirade by Kilpatrick and a possible hip fracture for the investigator.
After hearing the allegations Friday, a judge said Kilpatrick’s behavior was “totally irrational.” He changed the terms of the mayor’s bond in the criminal case, ordering him to immediately post $7,500 and undergo random drug tests.

Definition:
Narcissistic personality disorder is a mental disorder in which people have an inflated sense of their own importance and a deep need for admiration. They believe that they’re superior to others and have little regard for other people’s feelings. But behind this mask of ultra-confidence lies a fragile self-esteem, vulnerable to the slightest criticism.
Narcissistic personality disorder is one of several types of personality disorders. Personality disorders are conditions in which people have traits that cause them to feel and behave in socially distressing ways, limiting their ability to function in relationships and in other areas of their life, such as work or school. In particular, narcissistic personality disorder is characterized by dramatic, emotional behavior, in the same category as histrionic, antisocial and borderline personality disorders. Narcissistic personality disorder treatment is centered around psychotherapy.
Life is so frustrating!!! To have this empty-suit out there “campaigning” on the American taxpayers dollar whilst he puts America down and gives his “canned” speeches everywhere is one of the most frustrating things I have encountered. What about the issues facing Americans here? What about the high price of gas? What about the jobs that are going away? What about the substandard living that Americans are having to endure? What about the millions of Americans with no health insurance or substandard health insurance coverage? What about the working women who do the same job for less pay? What about people who have to choose between buying gas and buying groceries or medicines? What about the corporations who are becoming fat and rich off the backs of their workforce? What about the people!!! We’re not just numbers on a poll somewhere!!! We have meaning and I am going to vote the meaning in my life by NOT VOTING FOR NOBAMA!!!!
No matter what happens between now and November, somebody in the DNC and the Democratic party better realize that WE will never “just swallow the party line”!!!
#50 John
Another OB Delagate(the mayor)??
Everyone will be watching and fixing polls after convention. They think if we cannt get Hillary in we will run to the other one. We need to stand fast no matter what happens yesssssssss????

The Axelrod pic is hanging up on my end and the site keeps trying to complete loading…I don’t know if anyone else is having this problem. I logged off the net and came back on and it is still doing it……
On a personal note, it’s been a hard couple of weeks for me and my family lately. I’m the oldest of 5 children, 4 living after my sister died as an infant from leukemia. We just found out a few weeks ago that my next in line age-wise brother has esophageal cancer. The initial testing looked good for it being isolated to one area.. we were hoping and praying.. but unfortunately this week we found out the biopsies came back and it’s stage 3 or 4… if he responds to chemo/radiation combination, he may have a chance .. right now has about 25% chance… and he has children in their early teens… sigh.. please, please light a candle and send some prayers for him.
wow 57 sure will…
#41 MountainSong – Bo injected his theme with his first speech in Germany..I hope everyone heard it.
sorry to continue my personal information on here, and this is definitely OT.. but it’s been a long hard 4 years for my family lately. 2004 was a bad year for us and not just about GW getting back into the WH… in 2 months, we lost our dad (February 7), my second daughter (April 1) and my mom (April 5).. and then my #2 brother lost his daughter and nephew in a fire (October 2004) … and now … my #1 brother with this diagnosis and rather poor prognosis, it’s draining… and it brings it all back… really trying hard to hang onto hope.
Maryland . . . I have to run an errand, so I will check back in about an hour. Let me know if I need to resend that response I got?

thanks for posting Bolton’s article.
I wish Obama was right and we could all just be friends and play nice.

lotts1948 – I’ll light a candle for you and your family right now.
Good morning Pumas and a Hello to all the New Pumas,
found this on the clintons4mccain web site:
http://clintons4mccain.com/
Israli is not buying the Hype around Obamas Ego trip, In an open letter in the Israel National News They asked Obama to “Just Go Home and stop using their country as a photo-op” Read the rest its gets better they start with his slezy associations and they even diss his arabic name, and they even mention his famous Trinity Church and Rev. Wright
57 lotts1948 I’m sorry to hear about your brother. I have the pre-cancer cells, and have to be tested every 6 months. My brother moved here from Akron, Ohio, and he is going through his own challenge and had to have his bladder removed, but we know the fight’s not over as it breached the wall. My prayers are with you and your family. It’s very hard on everyone. My brother is a strong Christian and his faith has helped him tremendously.
Hello, all,
I have been away for the last week so I wanted to just check in and see what has been happening. Apparently quite a bit! I was just in the UK–nobody much mentioned Obama. However, I was sickened and frightened when I saw the headlines about the 200,000 in Berlin. I did speak briefly with a lovely woman from Denmark who said she was disturbed by their Prime Minister’s friendship with Bush and the consequently they thought Obama would be better than McCain. I don’t know if that represents all of Europe’s thinking but I found it a bit unsettling. Perhaps those of you who live in Europe could add to this perception.
Anyway, good to be back. Ciao for now!
Another article form LATImes, don’t know if anyone has posted, but here’s a part:
‘In Baghdad, Iraqi leaders who have appeared to be intimate allies of the White House suddenly were saying they wanted the kind of rough deadline for U.S. troop withdrawal that Obama has endorsed — and Bush has repeatedly rejected.
In Jerusalem, key leaders signaled that they could accept Obama’s proposal for high-level talks with Iran, an approach that Bush labeled “appeasement” in an appearance before the Israeli parliament this spring.
The Iraq visit brought to light frictions in the U.S.-Iraqi relationship and may have jeopardized the Bush’s administration’s chances of concluding negotiations over the U.S. military role in Iraq that the administration had hoped to wrap up by the end of the year.’
This is about as close as it can get to violating the Logan Act. Yesterday’s prowl is so important to get done and the weekend is a great time for those fax machines on the recipient’s end to get to work and have a pile of our faxes (and letters).

Listen Pumas we cannot just stay at home if Hillary does not get the nomination. That is not enough, we have to vote for McCain, for 1 non vote is just another step towards the white house for Obama.I to am a Democrat but I see no other choice. I refuse to write her name in because that wouldn’t be enough to stop him
Jane yes he is and also hes a good friend of Barry
Hi everyone, I just want to mention that when you search PUMA PAC in Yahoo or Google we have fallen off the first page of results, although there are several articles which mention the blog on the first page. So If you have a few extra minutes it would help if everyone would search for PUMA PAC on Yahoo once a day as it is helpful to have our blog come up immediately on the search results.
Here are the first 5 on Google….we are #1.

I listened to HRC speak about overriding WB’s veto on Medicare and her eloquence on the subject of how we need to continue to work hard to support the health needs of Americans by doing more to support preventive treatment and early detection and this is so true. So many Americans are falling victim to diseases due to not being able to go to a doctor or have testing that could actually prevent or diagnose earlier so that treatment is a possibility!!!

Attacking Obama’s Economic Plan
Dear Pumas,
A few days ago, I posted something about how Obama’s actions during this campaign should give us a glimpse into his economic plan … and our economic future … if he becomes President.
With the economy being the top issue for most American voters, I’m wondering if this is a strategy that could pay off for us.
I haven’t read Obama’s economic plan. Nor am I economically savvy enough to properly evaluate it even if I had. But I can read his current actions well enough.
Look at how much money (be it taxpayer money or campaign money) he’s throwing away on this big publicity stunt overseas. In the corporate world, this would be considered a flagrant misuse of funds.
Look at how much money he has spent on feeding his ego with the repainted plane, phony presidential seal, and whatever else.
Look at how he outspent Hillary by two-, three-, and sometimes four-to-one, yet consistently got fewer voters per dollar spent. Hillary clearly knows how to do more with less. So does John McCain. McCain was counted out early, but came roaring back on a shoestring budget.
Look at how, with all his fundraising experience during the primaries, Obama can’t help the DNC as it worries how to pay for the Denver convention.
And meanwhile, as Obama is spending millions on all this extravagance, he’s not doing the simple, low-cost things that are important in an election campaign. For me, the biggest thing I want to see are the town hall debates John McCain keeps asking for, where I can evaluate the candidates side-by-side answering the same questions. That’s a low-budget item in comparison to what Obama is doing now.
Obama can write whatever he wants in his economic policy statements. However, his actions clearly demonstrate that if he were to become President, he would abuse taxpayer money on extravagant expenses to feed his ego, while doing very little of the things that are truly important to Americans.
And how will he pay for all of this extravagance? By raising our taxes, of course. After all, how many times has he told us that his campaign was funded by small donations from millions of supporters? If millions of supporters can afford to keep giving him these small donations, surely it’s an indication (to Obama) that many more millions of Americans would gladly give a few extra dollars every week to help pay for all the wonderful (ego-feeding) things he’s going to do for us.
Again, I’m not economically savvy enough to do justice with this idea and formulate it into a bulletproof press release or other document we can use as a weapon against Obama. However, if there are Pumas out there who are interested and can make up for what I lack economically, I’ll help craft the text into a well-worded document.
Any takers?
I won’t necessarily be following the blog closely today, because I need to get some real work done. However, if folks are interested in working on something like this, catch me offline at firebellepuma at gmail.com.
Good morning everyone!! O could have visited the troops had he chosen to leave behind his entourage and camera crew. His superior judgement led him to select photos over demonstrating he is presidential material. Senator Cover Boy will have lots of quiet evenings in his Mansion in Chicago, (bought with the assistance of his pal and convicted felon, Rezko) when his disrespect of our men and women in uniform costs him his life long aspiration of becoming the President of the United States. He and his wife, who will be running her own house, not the White House, will have plenty of time to paste lots of photos of the European photo opportunity in the family photo album; after which the Senator can retire to his study and write the sequel to his book, soon to be entitled “Audacity of Ignorance.”

Thanks. I believe in the power of prayers and positive thinking. I am going to pull myself up and be positive and visualize all those cancer cells running from the treatment…
and again, thanks for your support. It takes a village!!!
#68 I will be voting for McCain this year if Hillary is not the Dems choice too. I agree it is the only way to keep BO and the forces who undermined democracy in the Democratic party out of the White House. I just wonder how we will rid the party of these elitist underhanded people after BO loses.
Also I do not think the media/pollsters have a real grip on where people stand on BO. Here in Washington state I really think McCain will win and I also think that the Democrats will lose the Governors race too. Anytime you look at the projected map Washington is always blue. Well the Dems won the gov. race last time by 130 dirty dealing votes and people here are MAD. They must have counted the votes 5 times and everytime the Dems lost they pulled out new boxes of votes from liberal MLKing County (Seattle) which they said they found in the courthouse basement and “forgot to count”. It didn’t go over well and people have not forgotten. Also in years past we had an open primary ballot where you could vote for anyone, the Dems took the state to court and the East coast courts told us we had to have only Dems vote in the Dem primary etc. That made people furious and so this time we are trying a voting system put in by a peoples referendum where only the top two vote getters from our East coast Court managed shadow of democracy primary will go on the General Election ballot. And finally we have a Primary election in the state of Washinton, it cost us 10 million dollars and the results were a Hillary BO tie, the Dems ignore it, hold disorganized caucuses and pick BO by 70% to 30%. People are fed up with the dirty dealing Dems around here. It is clear they are political power grabbers not a party of the people. I say they will lose WA state.

Love to all PUMAs
I will be bouncing back and forth today.
My life this week has been horrendous too this week. The losses of our members remind me that life is too short and tomorrow is not a given.
‘Tis a beautiful day on Delmarva and I shall be spending some time with my lovely daughter – the one I am fighting this fight for.
PUMAS – call your loved ones and friends today. Hug your significant other. Give your children 1/2 hour of your undivided attention. And say a prayer for those in need and those who have suffered losses or received bad news. Renew your faith and come back here ready to fight for those who are depending on you – whether they know it or not.
Much love to all!

You don’t have to apologize for posting personal information. We’ve become a family here. We care. And we feel badly for the losses and hardship your family has gone through.
Although this is a public forum and posting personal information can be sensitive, this is also a grassroots movement where the things that are important to us are the things that should be driving our nation’s politics. It’s that personal information that reminds us why we’re all here and why we’re doing what we’re doing.
I seldom respond to individual posts about people’s hardships, largely because I don’t want to add too much to the “chatter.” It makes it harder for people to find the action-oriented posts. But I do read the stories, and it reinforces for me the importance of what we’re doing. I always sympathize, even if I don’t always verbalize it.

#83- Maryland Puma —
you’re so right… life sure did teach me that there are no guarantees of tomorrow.. I mean, I knew it logically but I guess our mind just doesn’t go there. In my spare time.. ha, ha.. I write poetry.. I tried to write out my pain when my daughter died in the car accident.. but only recently did I write this poem.. I tried to capture the feeling of how we don’t know the last time IS the last time.
The Very Last Time
If you knew it was the last time, what would you do?
If you knew this was the last hug, how long would it last
The last time you said I love you, would you say more
If only you knew it was the last time
Life is like that, we all say, life is too short
Live your life as if today was the last day of your life
Why don’t we do that?
Do all humans suffer from memory loss
Do we forget that today might be the very last time
The very last time
And if this is the last time
What do you want that memory to be
Your very last hug
Your very last kiss
The last time you spoke
What would you want those words to be?
oops

Yes that is the general feeling, anyone is better than Bush and there are a lot who are swayed by media perception of the Hope and Change as if it would solve everything.
A lot don’t fully understand the complexities of the Primary system either so they just accept when they are told Obambi won.

The news on tv is slow today, they really aren’t reporting much. Maybe if we are lucky BO will blow his nose today and then they can report how he does it and what he used to wipe it for a hour and half.
#26 john:
If Obama loses (which is very likely) it will be because he’s considered an idiot not fit to be president.
Rascism charges used by the DNC and other mentals like them can only help get Obama elected, NOT defeated.
God, how I loathe the Democratic party and their filthy political ploys and tactics. Good riddance to them after Novemvber 4.
A new day for democracy will soon begin.
#97….and we have to take it away from them.. Pelosi must have signed on also.
Lotts1948..I happen to have a very aggressive Gastrologist and she really keeps me on my toes. Even with insurance, some of my tests costs us $1,000.
They didn’t find my brother’s until he got prostrate cancer – which they removed, but it went to bladder before detection and they removed that along with 25 lymph nodes. He’s been off chemo for about 8 months, but he has on-going tests. He goes to BAMC – Ft Sam Houston, San Antonio, so he’s been fortunate. He’s been battling cancer for 7 years now..so it makes one wonder if there are another set of footprints with him.

You know, I’ve often wondered if the Dem leaders for Michigan and Florida played into Pelosi’s/BHO’s hands on purpose. Why would 2 states that could carry an election decide their states should vote early on knowing the votes wouldn’t be acknowledged? Am I the only one that sees this?

I don’t normally post personal information, but I want to extend my sympathies regarding your brother’s news. My (very athletic vital) husband died of esophageal cancer only two months after his diagnosis. He chose not to have surgery or other traditional treatments, so that two months might have been extended to six. It’s a very aggressive cancer. A tip from a stranger – one that was given to me at the time; be sure the disease doesn’t take all the attention. Let him know what he’s done right with his life and let him know how much you love him. Constantly!
Margie and J.
Thank you!

Margie and J. – Thank you!
I think so many women – especially older women who have experienced sexism and discrimination – can relate very well to what Obama and the DNC did to Hillary. I am a young woman but watching my mother go through so much in her life only to come out a fighter like Hillary has also made watching what the DNC did to one of the most powerful women in the world painful. God Bless you all.
#57 lotts1948 – I lit a candle for you. You and your family will be in my thoughts and prayers.

mcr #127 and slyt#128: Thank you! It’s so much fun for me to get a response and have one of you nice people “play something forward” that I happen to find — ’cause I feel that I can’t do much else from where I am.
I also just saw that the Senate passed that huge housing relief bill that the House passed a couple of days ago — hope somebody in the media notes that Obama was cavorting around in foreign parts playing to his adoring crowds while the Congress passed “the most important piece of housing legislation since the Great Depression” for the wellbeing of Americans and the U.S. economy.
Thanks to you all for all you do.
This is totally off topic, but it came up on a radio show last night that McCain was to announce his VP pick before the democratic convention. the best explaination for this is that he is going to choose a woman and put all the pressure on BO. My suspicion is Condi Rice. IMO, if Condi is the VP pick, BO doesn’t stand a chance in hell. Sexism and Racism are immediately off the table. Oh and may I mention that Condi speaks english, spanish, french, german, and russian. What do you guys think?
Bonjour everyone,
I’m here in France to visit my daughter who has just given our family the first granddaughter. I wanted to wear my PUMA shirt while here, but it arrived the day after I left.
The coverage on Euro TV is headlined with BO but thank goodness it is not constant like it is in the USA. Unfortunately, it is positive press for him. They showed a segment on French TV that had film footage from the time in South Carolina when there were some terrible racial conflicts, and how now black and white people get along and even marry. My French son-in-law explains that French people think BO is responsible for this and that he will make things even better. He was shocked to hear me tell him that things are actually worse as a result of BO and his supporters accusing anyone who doesn’t vote for BO racists. That little tidbit does not make the news.
He has explained as others have here on this blog that Europeans see BO as a hope for the end of American aggression throughout the world and in Iraq. They think McCain will just continue the war. So that’s the story they have swallowed.
————–
lotts -I am sorry for your family’s pain right now. My father suffered for two years with esophogeal cancer that spread elsewhere. You have my sympathy.

and seriously my thanks to all the Pumas for all you do every day, each in your own individual way, to keep the candles burning and to continue to fight the GOOD fight.
Like many others above and after 65 years of voting Democrate I too can smell a rat and will go for McCain.
lotts1948-
your family also has my prayers as I understand completly what you are going through. My mother was diagnosed with lung cancer less then a month ago and is about to start her second round of chemo. if you need to vent or just talk, please don’t hesitate to email me at zzdalym81@gmail.com
See I can’t even spell it right I am so distusted with the Party D E M O C R A T
DISGUSTED – back to bad – can’t spell today – TRISH ANY MAIL FOR ME
Lotts 1948- I am so sorry for you and your family’s challenges right now. Your poem hit home for me and thanks for reminding me of the preciousness of each day and each moment.
I have found myself filled with so much anger and energy at the betrayal we all feel at the election hijacking, that I haven’t felt my old joyful self in a long time.
Margie and J – thanks so much for your generosity and what I hope will be part of your legacy to all of us.
Regarding the narcissistic personality disorder – I agree that BO is symptomatic – I think most politicians,if they don’t start out that way, end up with a bit of the “it’s all about me” because they are constantly in the limelight and being sought after and adored.
These past 8 years I have been analyzing George Bush and believe he is on a major dry drunk. For those of you who don’t know what that is, it is when an alcoholic no longer drinks, but doesn’t replace the “medication – in this case alchol) with a recovery program – and Christianity, in my book, is not enough when recovering from this major disease. Finding God is attendant to recovery work, not the only answer – at least for me.
I am a recovering alcoholic, so I know of what I speak. You need to work on yourself every day, learn humility, appropriate ego management, etc.
When you are not doing the “steps”, you are not learning new behaviors that help you navigate the same world you were in when you dealt with it with alcohol. Therefore, George W. can show no humility, because he can’t be wrong…his ego won’t allow for it.
By the way EGO stands for “Easing God Out”….So,he can’t admit the war was a mistake, or any of the other egregious things he has done are mistakes because he believes he must be perfect and is afraid to admit imperfection, which ofcourse, all of us are imperfect.
I have been recovering for almost 28 years and know that working on my humility (being educable) and my self esteem is a life-long process. I will never be recovered…only recovering. I will always get to grow at this rate!
The only reason I bring this up is because I believe the similarities between George W and his ego and Bo are truly scary. I don’t know what drives BO’s need for adulation and adoration, but I do know that his arrogance is probably a mask for insecurity.
Anyway, just my two cents on understanding the minds of our politicians and those that choose to enter the playing field.
I truly wish that “servant leadership”, the kind of leadership one earns by serving others, (and not just being a “community organizer instead of taking a big Wall Street Job”, is what makes a leader…not being annointed by other insecure people seeking power and attention through their association with the elites.
One more thought Lotts1948. John MCCain has been in Columbus, OH for summit on Cancer Research at the Ohio State University. Ofcourse, that wasn’t important enough in comparison to the Europe on MileHigh Ego a Day, but thought it seemed appropriate to mention his presence here at this important research event.
re#137 queen
I think Condi is too closely identified with the GW adminstration and the war in Iraq.she has a lot of n baggage and still unanswered questions about her role in lying in order to get us into the war..she has too many negatives that could be used against her..If I was McCain I wouldn’t touch Condi with a 10ft pole..
beside that that’s all we need is another pathological liar around..Obama is enough
p.s. This is why cocktail hour on these blogs aren’t so much fun for me but I enjoy reading all your blogs! lol

Well, I was trying to send another blog, but got shut out..she IS strange though and don’t know how deep her conservatism is – maybe off the map…my brother and husband don’t like her at all and said she has a “closet” also…
I wanted to say that McCain’s best choice is Hillary – there’s so much much in common there.

DId you see part of Bill Hammer’s (FOX) interview with BO that he did this am? I think he said he was only allowed 10 min with BO. The part I saw was basically a preview of the rest of the interview, and to me it looked like Bill Hammer was having problems keeping a straight face. When you see the part where he asks BO, several times, if BO’s position has changed since his trip, Bill Hammer’s facial expression is priceless.
The bad news is that gallup is showing a bit of a bounce yesterday and today… the good news is I’m sure it will be short lived and once he’s back to blah… blah… blah… um… ah… um… blah… here in the States — I’m sure the polls will start to drop again. His gallup bumps are always small and short lived.

In The News
Looking For Unity
Key Clinton supporters such as former San Antonio Mayor Henry Cisneros and Lulu Flores of Austin, president of the National Women’s Political Caucus, are primed to help, or at least vote for, Obama. Garry Mauro of Austin, who steered Clinton’s Texas campaign, said: “We all need to do whatever it takes to get him elected.”
Still, an uncounted swath of Clinton backers, including voters who see Clinton as a groundbreaker mistreated by the media and national party, is taking a hard line in step with a national Web-driven effort dubbed PUMA (Party Unity My Ass).
http://countusout.wordpress.com/
Someone here mentioned the expenses of the Obama campaign as it reflects on his economic proposals — is there any outrage that the Secret Service has had to request an additional $9+million because of Obama’s international “fact finding” mission AND his change of plans to “accept” the nomination at the Stadium in Denver? This is our hard-earned money — our taxes are paying for Obama’s showboat antics. I’m incensed at the gall and MSM and newspapers are burying this story with legends on our TV screens and blurbs in the newspapers. Obama gets the free pass again.

This is a GOP site. I don’t know how it works in other states, but in Illinois when you register you don’t declare your party affiliation when you register. I was a Deputy Registrar at one time in Illinois and the R or D is put after your name after you vote in the primary when you select a democrat or republican ballot. If one does not vote in the primary but in the general election, an I (Independent) is placed after your name on the voting records.
that was meant for John…sorry

It was to Phil Boyce at abc. If you have a new address for Boyce let me know.
41 MountainSong on 07.26.08 at 10:57 am When any candidate injects ‘race’ into a campaign it instantly brings division. The one who does so is the worst kind of bigot, who is afraid to stand on any other possible merits. In truth, there is really, scientifically proven, only one race and it’s the Human Race.
Obama needs to be thrown out with the rest of the garbage in America.
**************************
My sentiments exactly, they try to intimidate Hillary supporters by calling us racist.
Imagine racist calling other people racist.
Was it racist when over 90 percent of African-American voted against Hillary in favor of Barack?
So, if someone calls you a racist, how do you defend yourself against such tactics, I say simply answer with a ‘WHATEVER! If that is what you think I can’t change you minds nor am I interested in trying.

* * * * LETTER-WRITING CAMPAIGN * * * *
Please see the two letters for Joe Wineke and the Democratic Party of Wisconsin posted at http://www.NotFallingInLine.org.
It regards the horrendous decision yesterday to strip Debra Bartoshevich of her delegate status for the 2008 Democratic Party convention at Denver.
Make suggestions for their improvement and PLEASE send them!

Anybody knows the outcome of the Logan Act violation?
137 Queen I think your really right. I dont think she would do it though. She says she wants to go home …but than you never know lol. I think he will name during or just after Obamas speech to take away from his pomp. Its a smart move if he does.
68 tillerylakelady on 07.26.08 at 11:38 am Listen Pumas we cannot just stay at home if Hillary does not get the nomination. That is not enough, we have to vote for McCain, for 1 non vote is just another step towards the white house for Obama.I to am a Democrat but I see no other choice. I refuse to write her name in because that wouldn’t be enough to stop him
**********************
You sound a little desperate, each Puma will decide how to vote in the General Election when the time comes.
They have many options;
Vote for H.R. Clinton if she wins the nomination
Write in H.R. Clinton
Vote J.S. McCain
Don’t vote at all
Vote for a third party
Vote for Obama
A vote to me is very personal and private. That is why the caucuses, during the primaries with their in your face tactics drove me crazy when I read about the intimidation and violations.
How many people do you think were called a racist when they insisted on voting for Clinton.
Why won’t you support Obama are you racist? etc.etc.
Good Saturday afternoon, everyone
I haven’t looked at yesterday’s posts so I’m not sure if you’ve discussed this much – but the news regarding Debra Bartoshevich yesterday is horrible! That the UNdem party of WI would strip her of her delegate status is beyond belief.
Please join the fabulous letter writing campaigns on http://www.NotfallinginLine.org
It’s a user-friendly, highly informative site and a powerful addition to all of the great email blitzes we do through here.
I semi-completed the prowl for yesterday last night. Didn’t have access to a fax and missed the phone call time frame, but I did send the email. Hate it when work gets in the way !
Also sent the email to SD’s from the politicallydrunkblogspot – they reloaded with 3rd set of new addresses.
Enjoy this glorious day, PUMAs!
PS ~ Margie & J and all PUMAs who so generously donate money and time and hard work … Thank you!
re#156 john…
In the primaries Hispanics were one of Hillarys most loyal and supportive groups…you have to believe Hillary has a special place in her heart for Hispanics they were her troopers and came thorough for her.
I think now most Hispanic democrats now feel they are hostages of the DNC because they have no where to turn ..the GOP ruined their chances of winning over Hispanic voters because they had too many xenophobic republicans who were perceived by Hispanics as one step away from the KKK…
I can tell you Hispanics as a group do not like Obama because they don’t trust him at all and suspect he will use the position of the presidency to realize some of the goals of his “black nationalist” ideology to create a black power bureaucracy in DC that will give blacks priority to positions,programs,jobs, appointments,contracts over other minorities..
Hispanics never did still don’t trust Obama and that makes them pretty damn smart!
John, I know. I was contacted this morning in an email from a person that wanted to know what was wrong with voting for an Independent. I told her “Nothing is Wrong with how anyone votes.” It’s what you want your vote to mean and what you stand for and then I sent her to as many sites as I could (including PUMA PAC) so she would see for herself that everyone’s vote is the most important thing we have in a democratic society.
One of my friends has a daughter-in-law in Maryland that has been totally entrenched in the BHO juice…I told my friend to concentrate more on the people that feel lost (like I did).

#174 LizzyinCT,
Thank you! In the first letter for the leaders of the Wisconsin Democratic Party, regarding their horrendous decision yesterday to strip Debra Bartoshevich of her status as a delegate to the 2008 Democratic Party convention at Denver, I change the verb tenses of two verbs in the fourth paragraph.
I also added the other email addresses for Dean and Pelosi that we have.
Please consider sending one or both of the messages to them!
They’re at: http://www.NotFallingInLine.org
#137 queen81 I think she and McCain would be awesome together. I am not a repub but I think she is smart intelligent woman and I agree they would be a winning team.
#177 mcr,
Thank you! Brian
Hillary and McCain they are friends after all and both work across the aisle. Now that would be a change.
#179 Knoxville Puma
I sent your first letter Knoxville!!!
I found these three links that gave some information on the reception of Dean’s tour in the south. The ABC video report focuses on the BO supporter more than the PUMA’s but it still looks to me like there was a substantial enough presence of PUMA’s to send a message… even if subliminally.

thank you queen and than you Lorelai… sharing is good, both of you thanks:)
I agree, John McCain was actually there at the Cancer Center; I read an article about that and how it really turned some people off about Nobama that he couldn’t be bothered to attend.
I just sent the letters to the failed leaders of the Wisconsin Democratic Party five separate times, each time cc’ing a different person in the media.
#183 hillaryistheone,
THANK YOU!
I wonder how many voters are intimidated into saying they would vote for BO, but in Nov will actually vote for someone else, and say they voted for BO?
Israeli newspaper publishes BO’s private praryer.
Give me a break, he knew someone would steal it and leak it to the press. “This is the biggest fairy tale I’ve ever seen.”
#57 lotts1948-You have our prayers. My sister was diagnosed with colon cancer, stage 4, 15 months ago. The prayers are working and she is doing well.
#60 lotss1948-Just got to your next post. Will add extra prayers. I am so sorry for what you have been going through. And thank you for what you are doing for the Puma cause in the midst of it all.
re#187 maf..
the Obama crew has successfully,cynically and deftly used race to get where it is and yes that does include some forms of intimidation on dupes..race card and white guilt which are powerful weapons they know how to use..
However,like the old and wise saying goes..”those who live by the sword,die by the sword”..
this cynical race card game that Obama has used to his advantage could somewhere down the line backfire on him in a big way when americans realize how they have been duped..that could take him down with a vengeance..
Rounding up pumas is like trying to get a fly into a coke bottle. LOL!

lotss1948
got fired from my job yesterday and have been sitting feeling sorry for myself. you have definately given me perspective. and to echo the sentiment repeated over and over again my thoughts and prayers are with you and yours.
I have just seen this on clintondems.com,
http://clintondems.com/2008/07/chris-matthewspaul-revere/
they reposted it based on something posted at PUMAPARTY.com
—————————–
Chris Mathews who we all know is a supporter of BO had some very strong, realistic views of the race today on the Morning Joe show.
Here is his quote:
“I don’t think by any means, does BO have this deal closed with the Clinton crowd. Their contributors, women, women’s group they are not together. The Clinton people are not aboard. The Democratic party is not united and anybody that thinks that it is, is confused or deluded. This Democratic Party has got problems on it’s hands. And it’s BO challenge to bring Bill Clinton aboard. When I see their two faces together in the same room, I’ll believe it. I haven’t seen that yet. There is big time problems in the Democratic party. And there is the potential that John McCain will be the tortuous in the Tortuous and the Hare.”
He went on to say later:
“BO has got to identify with the gas pump, with the kitchen table, with the husband and wife talking late at night about how they are going to pay the bills they haven’t been able to pay, when they are out of money. He doesn’t get to those people…………….that’s why Hillary could play a role. Hillary is a bread and butter candidate………..this rock star is so elevated, so whole-sale that he’s almost created a need for Hillary Clinton as his running mate…….who can talk about gasoline prices, talk about women’s job opportunities, equal pay, basic stuff like minimum wage, getting food on the table, getting gas in the tank. He doesn’t talk like that. And you gotta talk like that if you are a Democrat.”
Another point he made which I think a lot of America feel about BO speech in Berlin is this quote he made after Meeka asked him if BO looked presidential which was what the campaign was trying to portray, especially on the International stage.
“I think the world thinks he is already President. They got to be disabused of that. We have a Presidential campaign ahead of us, it’s not behind us. And they are wrong if they think this guy has been elected. I mean, this guy is not elected by any stretch, this election is up in the air; I mean that, up in the air. And I think that is something that is a false perception. He shouldn’t be probably giving world leadership speeches until he is a world leader.”
This is absolutely stunning. It appears this trip has opened some eyes in the media. The choking off of access and the “poseur sessions” is throwing cold water on the gratuitus hump fest. If Obama doesn’t give them press access, the press has no reason to be kind to him.
Is this the start of an “awakening”? Is Chris Matthews the new Paul Revere?
I think you should check out your ‘golden boy’s’ credentials before you start attacking McCain’s ad’s. I have been a democrat for 46 years my whole family is democratic, my husband was a union worker for over 40 years and there is No Way we will vote for your selection and might I be so brave as to add your selection is not the People’s choice.
This was my answer to a email I received asking for contribution’s so they could attack ad’s that McCain is putting out.
MURPHY
YOU HAVE MAIL.
#57 lotts1948 prayers coming your way, keep faith and hope alive.
re#194 ARP..
“gratuitus hump fest”
??????????
#193 henry so sorry to hear you lost your job, you kinda have a right to feel sorry for yourself at the moment. Hopefully you can find something soon , don’t know what you do for a living but good luck..again sorry.
194 Alice Rodham Puma on 07.26.08 at 2:34 pm
Alice, yes, that is quite stunning to hear Matthews say this. But I can’t help but wonder what is in it for him. I know he wants to run some time in the future for Senator of his home state PA. I wrote him a lot of e-mails for his coverage of Clinton…so if O is where he is, he can just thank himself for that.
Don’t you think though that his words pertaining to Senator Clinton, ring usery? He’s not saying, what she could bring in all her experience, all her resources, and talents…it’s what Hillary can do for Barack his god.
I will give him credit though for admitting we are indeed not united behind O, and mentioned everyone not just women. Andrea Mitchell is another one coming around a bit, but those two….among the worst Hillary bashers ever, along with Mika. They’ve all heard from me via e-mail.
#194 Alice Rodham Puma
Sounds like that tingle is turning to a shudder. Look out Chris, the gag reflex comes next!
#60 Lotts1948 I am so sorry! There are no words…..just prayers for you and your family. Candles lit, prayers said.
Sending you energy for strength and tenacity. One foot in front of the other my friend…..this too shall pass.
#197 Alice Rodham puma; thank you for that piece of news I am pleasantly surprised with Chris, but that does give us hope
you have been through a heck of a lot, more than anyone should have to bear. I will keep you in my thoughts and light a candle for you in church.
beautiful story about the donation
re#201 NFTPP..
as to Chris Matthews latest pronouncement..
“hell has no fury like a woman scorned”…
John Kerry can no longer receive e-mails at his e-mail address. So all the letters I’ve been sending out to superdelegates, his came back. I will have to get on his senate website and re-send. Glad I kept a copy. If you want to send him a “pledge to Clinton letter”, here is his website.
“kerry.senate.gov”.
Marie — thanks for sharing the “messiah” link from Hannity. That should be sent in all of our emails to our entire address book — with the send it to ten more individuals. By the way…I decided to listen to the “we are not stupid” youtube video posted next to the messiah video. It’s worth a looky-loo — it is these voters that Obama is counting on — pretty darn scary!
Hi PUMAS, I didn’t see posts on Howard Dean’s visit to Raleigh, NC yesterday. Just to let you know (since I didn’t see it in the major media networks) A group of Hillary Supporters from the Fayetteville, NC area went up to Raleigh and joined Stu Asbel from Raleigh, they protested and were interviewed by the local news media. They were great. I heard that one of them, a friend of mine, approached Howard Dean as he was getting on the bus to leave and had a conversation with him. She told him Hillary Clinton’s name MUST be put in nomination at the Denver Convention. I haven’t had a chance to talk to her yet, but she emailed me last night. Also, there’s an article on the rally and protest at raleigh.mync.com/site/raleigh/ In that article another friend of mine was interviewed from the Fayetteville group. This woman, her husband and others gave Hillary a victory in Robeson County, NC, in May, when most of the other counties went for Obama. We’re an active group and recently joined with Asheville, Charlotte and Raleigh to rally support for Hillary at the Convention.
southern voice
do you the call letters for the local tv stations? they might have a feature on the event. i’d love to see it.
IMHO..if Hillarys name is NOT put in nomination in Denver..then it’s time we protest and express our outrage..

yup! that’s it!
it’s going to get messy!

I totally agree that *61 would be a disaster for our economy. This tour of the mideast and European countries was a marketing and propaganda campaign. He is not the President. In addition, if you look at his track record in Illinois, he has directed public funds to organizations and developers that have donated to him.
TerryDo
With all due respect, *61 is not an option in the GE. Puma Pac was formed to defeat him and oppose the corrupt DP.
#212 Alice Rodham Puma
Ahhhh, young love…..SO fickle!
I just had a cynical thought..
knowing the treachery and trickery of the Obama clown crew..I wouldn’t put it past them to place Hillaries name in nomination,then force her to come out and request her name be removed!!!
AM I BEING PARANOID HERE?
Chris Matthews running for the senate in PA
Bwahhaahaahaaahaaa
think i could throw some money down in Vegas on his losing. If ever there was a sure bet
Henry #210: It’s Channel 14 in Raleigh, NC, you can google it (I think it’s Time Warner Cable channel). But, they had no video on the site. I also saw it on NBC’s local NC affiliate but they also didn’t have the video on the website. They received pretty good local coverage, it was on at the top of the hour all day and night. As I said, my friend got to personally talk to Dean and told him to put Hillary’s name in nomination. She presents herself very well and is an educated, articulate woman. And Dean listened.
southern voice
thankyou
#216 freepuma
At this point I wouldn’t put anything past them. In fact I’ve seen it mentioned in one article that that is one of the options they are actually considering to try to unite the party. >:-< No idea what could be done to stop it though.
re#218 SV..
kudos to your friend who spoke to Dean..
I’m sure he forgot about it less than 5 seconds after he spoke with her..
However,the DNC is much more fearful of the voices of the uneducated and unarticulate working class American..
HEY PUMA ALLIE, MCR, BELLECAT, DEADGIRLS RISE, DRAGONFLY – you guys are the best in getting letters out and ALL OTHER PUMAS that want to make a difference by telling the Wisconsin DNC the what so – its fun its easy and its better than speculating about world events – its accomplishing something today –

Was looking around at “other sites” a minute ago, somebodies been busy coping and pasting a lot of stuff that’s been said here again lately . Anyways enough of that CRAP as far as Chris M goes who knows what is going on with that guy the other day I heard him telling M. Joe what a great wonderful speech BO made nothing down his legs but said something about JFK like.
Just seen this great idea over at reclusive leftist.

We want a convention, not a coronation!
Add your name and state on the back, along with the words PUMA DEMOCRAT or just PUMA!

Your comments seems double-edged…
On one hand they seems positive with a negative twist, is paranoia running through some Pumas?
re#234..
nahhhhh.. I just plain don’t trust the Obama clown crew..that’s all..no double edge here..
#216
I have had the exact same thoughts. Hillary being strong armed by the DNC and others to do just that. It is up to the candidate to either accept or decline the nomination. My gut fear is that even if they wanted to go with Hillary they do not know how to get out of the mess they have gotten the party in.
Hello my Puma family: lotts1948–I lost my Dear Dad three years ago, the pain is still fresh. I still feel like his little girl, his darlin, and I am fifty years old. I do remember the last thing I said to Daddy: I love you Dad, and he said: I love you too, very much!
Margie and J.–What a wonderful gift to us-it will help women like me, men too, to get to Denver and honor the both of you!
Henry–I bet there is something bigger and better out there for you, losing this job was simply the path your life is taking to get there.
About the voting: If Hillary is denied the nomination then in November, there will be only two candidates with any chance of winning. It is our hope to prevent an Obama presidency–the only way to insure that is by voting for McCain. It is the only way. You can use your votes any way you wish, but in order to prevent an Obama presidency, McCain is the only choice.
I have been a faithful democrat for the last 33 years, it does not make me happy to have to vote republican, but I must vote for the greater good of my country and its citizens.
One Love
Thanks webfoot, henry, AliceRodhamPuma, CyberFerret, Eward and TerryDo…
so many stories too, keeps it in perspective, don’t you think? Everytime I started feeling down and sorry for myself I was always reminded of others and that we’re not alone… not in good times, not in bad times.. never alone. Blessings right back at all of you:)

I agree with you about voting for McCain if Hillary doesn’t get the nom..

Done.
#216 freepuma My thoughts exactly. When I call the DNC and other official offices, they say that Hillary has to request her name be put in nomination. So far she says she is supporting BO. I’m totally confused but if that happens, I will be pi**ed!
My pleasure Henry. I found it up-thread somewhere.
Hope a great job comes your way real soon.
Also praying for lotts1948. Just been through a very hard year ourselves. Your story makes mine sound like a vacation. Hang in there.

I know LH …I know what you’re saying and it really stresses me out..if that happens and they give Hillary the shaft in Denver and she comes out for Obama..well to hell with it..I’m voting for that dummie McCain..

Thank you Margie and J.

My thoughts exactly. Even if justice prevailed and Hillary was the nominee; after all that’s happened, the “racist” scream is likely to be loud, long and violent. There are no easy answers . What a MESS they have made for themselves! and the rest of us as well :’-(
Daddy’sDarlin and notfollowinthepiedpiper…
thank you both.. DD, I know how that feels too; 4+ years now and my brothers and I still want to call Dad or Mom and talk about something.. boy would they both have been p@#*#d off about the DNC, Howard Dean and they would have been right here agitating with us.. especially my mom:) They were both extremely active and dedicated Dems.. union agitators.. LOL.. sure would have been some cussing at the TV and the MM as well…
yep, I miss them:) But hey, we’re doing it for them as well as for ourselves.

I’m just going to repost this from Riverdaughter, Thursday I think it is important
————-
Now, I like the publicity, but the DNC is going to want to squash us like a bug. You know it’s coming, though, what can they throw at us at this point? They’ve already called us every nasty name in the book including racists, though I draw the line at Republican. So far, we have been immune to guilt trips, the sweet enlightenment of reason and ridicule, That leaves only a few options. The most powerful is to divide us from within. I’m not being paranoid. Obama is the presumptuous nominee because the Dems were divided from within. C’mon, John Edwards would have been a perfectly suitable candidate but he was ignored by the media. Barack Obama was a much more potent adversary for Hillary Clinton because he pitted two vital constituencies of the Democratic base against each other. Oh sure, the DNC loved him as well but they stupidly fell right into the trap the GOP laid for them. The DNC pissed off its biggest voting bloc for the smaller one that has no chanve of expanding outslde of the party. But nevermind.
My point is, they have done a lot already to get us to shut up, sit down and go away but we seem to be holding out. So, they will have to send in the SWAT team to take a wrecking ball and split us into factions.
Hmmm, how do we get around that one? Think, think, think. I know! Let’s first keep the mission simple. If there is no mission creep, there won’t be a lot to argue about. So, as our goal, let’s get Hillary;s name nominated at the convention in Denver. Let’s not look beyond Denver for the time being. Simple goal, And let’s try to keep our egos in check. We are all in this together. We all have a role to play. Some of us are writers, some of us are organizers, some of us are media persons. None of us can succeed without the others and none of us are better than the others. We only get to be famous if we succeed. Otherwise, we’re merely pains in the ass.
Now, Conflucians, the $%&@’s about to hit the fan. Find a buddy, hold hands, stay together and look both ways before crossing the street. We will be ok if we stick together.

where is Dean going next? I think if Hillary doesnt get the top nod in Denver than we should do what hse has told us. Get back up dust ourselves off and fight. We will get McCain in and get to be even a tighter group so in 12 we will be well oiled to bring her to vicrory.We are the ones that got knocked down but will stand and lost a battle but will still fight and be there for her in 12 if need be and do it with pride.

Thank you GeorgiaPuma for reporting in on the videos you are sending out to the cable stations.
Thank you also LizzyinCT for contacting the SD’s through e-mail
Thanks to everyone who is being ACTIVE today.
Murphy and Maryland has stated they are busy today. So lets get moving and have some ACTION to report back to them this evening. Make them proud of you!
It’s a challenge folks, take it on!
sorry trish from canada if my posts offended thee but i doprowls while and in between posting and reading
re#265 jane-pa…
I’m with you on that…
…one thing I can’t understand..why in the hell would anyone want to be president of a country that is on the verge of a second great depression and a crumbling economic and social structure..
this time however a great depression would turn the USA into a prison camp and a hell hole of social instability,crime and race wars..
no “bounce” here:

Regarding your observation on BO’s note that was published in Jerusalem. As soon as this story broke — I posted a comment to expect the note to say something that would be consistent with the narrative that BO supports. Expect the note to say something to make BO look like “He’s the ONE.” The reason I said this was for several reasons and red flags that were raised in my mind over the story that was “leaked.”
We know that BO has a history of trying to stage his narrative with the press and he has no shame in resorting to every trick in the book. I’m Jewish. I know how sacred the Wall is to the Jewish population in Israel. I know how sacred the prayers are — and even the report on the news noted all the famous people that had been at that wall and left prayers. ALL of those prayers are still there — NEVER touched — NEVER stolen. Yet BO’s is stolen — and more importantly published? Give me a break.
I am absolutely 100% positive that he had paid Obama supporters there. If you read the story, it mentions that no one knew of his plans to go to the wall (for security reasons), yet some how there was a crowd waiting for his arrival, some how people knew he would be there and more importantly — they knew the approximate time. Red flag. I smell Obama paid supporters leaking the info. Secondly, there is a heckler that shouts out “Jerusalem is not for sale Obama,” and eventually the heckler is drowned out by chants of “Obama, Obama.” Red flag… and I’m convinced the chanters are again part of the Obama paid entourage.
I further believe it was planned to have a hand written document provided that week to officials so that they would have a sample of BO’s writing to confirm the note and that every move was planned for someone to steal the note and publish it. This is EXACTLY the type of press he’s loving. He’s probably laughing at the idea that he thinks he’s duped all of us. You can read the report narrative here:
http://blogs.abcnews.com/politicalpunch/2008/07/obama-visits-we.html
To me — BO’s campaigning is a lot like that movie “Leap of Faith” in which the crowd is always worked into a frenzie of belief when there is all these behind-the-scenes con jobs in play. The video link below further convinces me of this analogy.

re#271 fiona..
YIPPPPPPPPPPPEEEEEEEEEE…hoooooooooooorhahhhhh
MountainSong you are so right about the clicks for Obama. From that, my suggestion would be to click on every and all stories about Hillary as often as you can.
270 freepuma
freepuma True but if anyone could fix it -it is our Hillary.
Sandipuma posted a great one at Guardian UK. Didnt get much of thoughts there but Israil paper had an ed. telling Obama to go home they werent buying it. Dont you think all the leaders have to play nice in case he does make it? Wish we could get a real read.
http://www.politico.com/news/stories/0308/9298.html
This needs to be read and discussed what it can mean. I just found it on Politico.
————-
Clarification: The Democratic National Committee’s Credentials Committee consists of 186 members who cast 183 votes when Florida and Michigan members are included in the count.
————–
http://www.politico.com/news/stories/0308/9298.html
If the fight over whether to count the results in Florida and Michigan makes it to the Democratic National Convention, Hillary Clinton will not have enough pledged votes on the 169-member Credentials Committee to deliver a majority decision in her favor, according to an analysis conducted for Politico.
Her only hope of getting the key committee to vote out a “majority report” supporting her position rests on her ability to persuade an as-yet-undetermined number of the 25 members appointed to the committee by party Chairman Howard Dean to cast votes for her position.
The DNC’s Credentials Committee consists of 144 pledged members (Florida and Michigan are not included) plus the 25 party leaders and elected officials appointed by Dean. The 25 Dean appointees include a mix of Dean loyalists, Obama supporters and at least several individuals who have endorsed Clinton.
“If the formal process of seating a delegation cannot be resolved,” a Clinton senior adviser said, “those 25 will be important.”

freepuma and lotts1948–thanks for the love, we are all here to support one another, even if it isn’t in a political way. I love my Puma family and I cant wait to see you all in person in Denver! God Willing!
One Love
oh, I just realised it was from March. I don’t know if it is relevant now or not. I just followed a link.
Henry – I don’t think that Trish – sorry for putting my two cents in Trish – was saying that directed to you – and the rest of my comments are in general – and which by the way has been said on some of the other not so friendly blogs that we either fight with one another or we chit chat -
but if you look at the blog as a whole its a chat room – rather than lets do this and this and this room UNLESS there is a direct stimulation from Murphy – there barely is a month left before the convention – as I stated earlier on this post – we can all think things to death and always good to share ideas that perhaps we might not have had – but so many repetitive items going on -
Go to http://www.lobbydelegates.com and find your State and send a letter to your superdelegates stating what you have said on here -
Sorry if everyone will jump on me but its just my opinion – I am trying to build some interaction with a few superdelegates myself by my letters – as of today I have 22 emails – and not all are Hillary supporters –
I think everyone on here does a great job and as Trish said its always great to hear the brags – makes it feel like you are accomplishing our goals as a team/group.
I will leave you alone ow – sorry I jumped in where not wanted.
re#275…jane-pa..
I appreciate your faith and optimism..
but,I myself wonder just how much a president can really do..after all a president takes orders and is beholden to the rich and powerful corporate elites..whether the candidate is GOP or DEMO..
a president has only so much power to change things..that is,unless they become fascists….
173 TerryDo on 07.26.08 at 1:59 pm
68 tillerylakelady on 07.26.08 at 11:38 am Listen Pumas we cannot just stay at home if Hillary does not get the nomination. That is not enough, we have to vote for McCain, for 1 non vote is just another step towards the white house for Obama.I to am a Democrat but I see no other choice. I refuse to write her name in because that wouldn’t be enough to stop him
**********************
You sound a little desperate, each Puma will decide how to vote in the General Election when the time comes.
They have many options;
Vote for H.R. Clinton if she wins the nomination
Write in H.R. Clinton
Vote J.S. McCain
Don’t vote at all
Vote for a third party
Vote for Obama
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Excuse me Terrydo, for PUMA, VOTING FOR BARACK is OFF THE TABLE. The point here is the DNC Chose the Candidate, not the VOTERS. To Vote for OBAMA would be to legitimize a corrupt election process, which Barack and his campaign have been a contributing factor, with playing the race card and engineering voter intimidation and fraud. We exist to make sure that does not happen, and to turn out the current party leadership. NO OBAMA NO WAY NOT NOW NOT EVER.
terry do…
no way in hell should Obama be an option for us..scratch his name off the list..
PUMAs have to stick together. Like Riverdaughter said, don’t try to think beyond Denver. Focus. Keep your eyes on the prize. The nomination.
#269 henry
Your posts do not offend me at all. I can chose to read them or skip over them. But I do chose to read them and I am sorry you lost your job in such a cheezeball way.
To All:
My point, and I was trying hard to be nice about it, seems that left too much open. So, I’ll be direct.
This is an Action blog, where we take on an Action and then come back to brag. The evenings tend to be more casual. My point was it would be a shame to see it become a social blog with sporodic action.
And this is my opinion only. If you don’t agree, by all means continue on.
hey guys i was wondering if anybody read this post of mine :this is a copy of a previous post of mine its, since there was a concern abt pumas in the US who do not have access to internet and instead of doing like 50 reasons not to vote for Obama isn’t it possible to do 50 reasons to vote for hillary at the convention so it doesn’t have a negative tone and instead of viral email or in combination with the email if it is possible send a plane out in each state you know like some companies do and then to put the reasons using those smoke/air writing things that look like clouds and then write in the sky a reason per state this would create a lot of awareness. obviously the reason would have to be brief and summarised and puma in capital letters in the bottom this message obviously has to be written in the sky at places where it can be seen most in each state. Just a thought this would create a lot of awareness especially if it was all done at the same time
not sure if its possible tho could nebody enlighten me. thanks chrissieD
this is funny

re#285..CD
wowow!!
thats an incredibly creative suggestion CD!!
that would be way to cool..
and also obama actually reminds me a lot of paris hilton. hes also famous for being famous and the loads of media hype which saturated at a point even for paris after a while. newys i think paris hil is a good business manager tho since she has managed to increase her wealth
Greetings,
Saw on the news today Americans who live over seas forming pro Bambi groups. They choose not live here and yet they want to help set policies that will in essence; effect us and not them. hmmmmm
280 free I think you ans your own question. When I was posting at msnbc (dont go there now let them eat there own) They were posting Obama 08,12 and longer even if const. needs to be changed. This new mind set he talks about is to risky and I dont trust a thing to be beyond him.
anyone remember that 50’s classic “the Tingler”…
would love to see Chris Matthews in a gay parade waving to the crowd and strutting his stuff all dresssed up in a cool Tingler costume..
#291 LOLOL Now I needed that
Any news on the polls?
#57lotts1948: I just got here today and saw your post regarding your brother. I want to tell you a story, a true story. I know someone who at 58 years old, in October of 2004 was diagnosed with Stage 4 Colon cancer that had also progressed to the liver. Resecection of the liver was attempted and it was seen that it had spread beyond the liver, so they closed this person up. Doctor told family, this person probably wouldn’t be on the earth within 6 months.
This person had and is still having chemotherapy. This person is still here, 4 years later and counting!
I am this person, Lotts1948! Got that? Obama talks about his stupid empty hope and change and doesn’t know what hope or change is. So..forget this percentage stuff..25% or any other percent. Encourage your brother…keep him fighting…keep him full of life and hope…Pray your butt off…I am no Pollyanna! I am a fighting Irish/French lifelong Democrat, New OrleansWoman, daughter of a union man! Remind your brother and his family of who he is, what his heritage is, the fight of your mama and daddy,…This sleaze ball Obama will be defeated! And, take this same spirit to his fight, your fight, your family’s fight. Yes, I will pray for you and your family!
285 that sounds neat. Have to do hits on it so media looking for them. Great idea though
Hey Trish – Internet Provider is back up again – at least for awhile -
Read your above post – and it pains me that at my 86 years young that I can keep up with the action items and work 14 hours a day to make this happen and can’t seem to motivate others – I know the old HRC group was ALL action – look at the GO people on here – and others as well – not to pinpoint –
Saw what Wizard wrote and I too have seen posts in the Nobama wonderful sites that say that they have nothing to worry about the Pumas – they are all talk – I want to see action – I want to hear brags – I want to see posts that reference us or Hillary or other items that we can read about – we all know what our choices will be in November – but as the poster above said – WE HAVE TO KEEP our attention on the immediate prize – the Convention – lets talk about that – I am going into http://www.lobbydelegates.com and send out letters right now to the superdelegates the more the better – and hey Wizard – I got you beat I have received to date 48 emails back – and you know what – most of them say to keep on sending those letters to them – IT WORKS -
wizard you are always wanted and we are thankful for each and every idea,thought, and action and thanks for yours again:)
PUMAS… a little idea I have..
many of us have 2,3,4 computers laying a round not being used……
netzero has a free internet service for 10 hrs a month(actually you can use the free service for many many more hours beyond the 10 they allow)
—maybe we can send loyal and proven PUMAS a computer (of course they have to pay for the shipping)and set them up with free netzero service.. what do you think??
i was just wondering since the media overexposure is what put obama here in the first place hillary was never given the honest exposure and good coverage of her policies that she deserved and there was a concern abt senior citizens, and people who do not necessarily visit the puma sites how they’d know what puma was really abt? and also in this way people would have to see i mean pamphlets and stuff are good but for people who don’t know what pumas abt might not be inclined to read pamphlets. also one could show quite publically its not an obama bashing site but instead a qualified candidate i.e hillary support group. but not sure abt expense tho. i don’t think its that expensive since here in SA they use those small aeroplanes but not sure abt how it works in the US. people could see its not abt bitterness but abt reinforcing prinicples and why hillary is so good. anyways since the media cannot be relied on to show two sides of the story in a balance fair minded way
Do we have a prowl today? I did not get one.
NewOrleansPuma–What an amazing story! I believe in the power of prayer and positive thinking, you are doing everything right, much love your way!!!
One Love
Freepuma: I like your idea about the computers. Not everyone has the means to have a puter.
285 chrissieD It is a cool idea, I guess it depends on how much money is raised, what the decisions are about what to spend it , but it is a very good idea.
ChrissieD – I think that is a great idea – maybe we all could get together today and figure it out – we used to be able to do that.
Jane-Pa – thank you – you have always been informative with your thoughts – we need more like you
Goalucard: I’ve only received one SD response ever.
You’re lucky.
#293 LibertyPuma on 07.26.08 at 4:14 pm
HCF is a great place to get info regarding anything politics. It’s an PUMA site that scours the internet for items of interest. I post what I find there here all the time like polls and other articles.
Take a look.
There are some polls information in the main section past the ’sticky’ posts. You’ll see what I mean when you visit.
LibertyPuma – some of us have taken on our own prowl today from Post#169 Knoxville Puma on his website are two letters to Wisconsin Democratic Party regarding their delegate – one from LizzyinCt and the other one from Brian – several of us have been sending that letter to them – others of us have been going to http://www.lobbydelegates.com and sending letters to our States supers – that seems to be working for now.
yes since sometimes people block their ears to wisdom and maybe its time to open their eyes instead. sorry abt all the metaphors today guys i’m feeling poetic. its just that the media are clearly only showing what they want people to see. also a lot of obamas supporters appear to be genuinely uniformed i mean when u mention some of his questionable policies then some people are genuinely shocked and they didn’t know enough abt hillary in the first place.
TRISH – are you getting my drift on this ??
PA-DEM – no not lucky but relentless – I send another one over and over each day to them – different wording – many come back and say WOW you are dedicated – couple of them liked to argue in the beginning one DNC from Oregon and the other one from Colorado – guess what – they both NOW AGREE with me and see my viewpoint – not to say they still might not vote for Precious – but at least their agressive tone in the beginning went to thanking me in the end – I know this works – have been in the campaigning business way too long.
INDYPUMA – Thank you – did not know about that site -
and their was also a concern abt some emails and stuff bouncing back and calls and emails not getting through to the super delegates. i think those things should continue (i mean the calls and the emails) but the messages in the sky would be something that they could not ignore.
I was at NoQuarter reading about different types of trolls, although we’ve seen most of them in here, this is the species that most commonly visits us here:
3. “Alligator Tears,” the Concern Troll who plays like it is on your side, but attempts to persuade readers by pretending to share their goals. This dainty nuisance may take a while to spot, but true colors emerge as the discussion begins to shift. It hates being called out, and quickly disappears once its ruse is discovered. Alligator Tears are usually just annoying, like a “noseeum” that gets in your face at picnics. “
Oh, I’ve received responses from SDs sometimes. It’s important to tell them how you feel, but you get more bees with honey…or…uh…kill them with sweetness…or…get them with kindness…whatever the saying…
I try to be as nice as can be in the emails. Course, I’m all fire…I’ll tell them how I feel, but I always make sure to sign off in a very nice way.
PaDem – Sorry I answered your question for Drac – he sent me an email saying his computer was going down again – both his style and mine have always been the same from HRC days of never tiring, never giving up, always always climbing that hill to success – he did get more results than I did – but I think that I did pretty well too convincing some of the ones that refused to listen in the beginning – so patting myself on the back and bragging.
#283 Alice Rodham Puma
I totally agree, stay fouced “don’t try to think beyond Denver.”
I know pumapac has a number of goals one of which is Hillary’s nomination.
It just seems to me that Hillary’s nomination is on a very, very short time table. We have about a month to accomplish this.
As I see it the only way to accomplish that goal to work on the super delegates. I continue to write personals e-mails and I continue to use:
http://politicallydrunk.blogspot.com/2008/07/last-stand-email-initiative-for-puma.html
http://www.lobbydelegates.com/
I continue to promote this site and spread the word in hopes of bringing more people. The more people the greater the power we have to accomplish the goals.
But I must admit – I sure would feel better if there was more attention and prowls, etc in regards to getting Hillary nominated and the super delegates.
If anyone has a very complete list of super delegates who have switched from Hillary to Obama maybe you could post it so we could all try and start writting them and perhaps ask Murphy to please make this a prowl for all of us to do.
#313 DancesWithPumas
ohhhhhhhhhh trust me, I can name a few of those here any day of the week.
Kat in your Hat – EXACTLY – kill them with kindess and accuracy – no one can refute the truth.

Murphy is working on the switch prowl.
#301Daddy’sDarlin: Much love back to you and thank you! The battery is down on this computer. Have to get off for a while to plug it in for recharge. Down with Despots!
BILL -K well said – you can go to http:/www.demconwatch and you will find a link that says endorsements/date click on that and it will tell you by date those that switched from him to her – I have written them at least twice – good action item
Trish – hmmmmmmmm different huh?
WOW! what 2 beautiful soul’s and special women to give PUMA such a wonderful generous fantastic donation!!! God Bless them~ thank you Margie and J~ for your kindness to PUMA!! very awesome!!!
#311 Wizard on 07.26.08 at 4:33 pm
No Problem. If you haven’t signed up with the site, please do. It’s a great resource.
I gave you a link to the main lobby there, but look at the organizaton from the front page. Seriously…. loads and loads of valuable information….
http://www.hillaryclintonforum.net/discussion/index.php
Take a look at all those categories. Find stuff and share it with the rest of us here.
lol I had a funny thought.
Every Senator is probably praying that Bo doesn’t approach them for VP, seems as one gets approached , the dirty laundry flies moments later. I bet they are keeping a nice wide distance at the moment.
Murphy~ you have mail from me~ thank you!
deadgirlsrise #281: You’re right about an Obama vote being out of the question. I’ve been doing some serious thinking and I’m going to vote for McCain in November if Hillary is not on the ballot. Reason #1 – In 2000 Gore lost votes to Nader, in 1992 Bush Sr lost votes to Perot. I think it’s too risky to vote for Nader since he may not be on the ballot in every state. They say to write Hillary’s name in, may not be allowed in every state and to stay home, well, then you don’t have a voice. I think to hammer home our displeasure we must vote for McCain. McCain won’t be able to do much since the House and Senate is controlled by the democrats and they may have enough of a majority to overturn any vetoes.
#322 Wizard
Very different and very nice to see ACTION and suggestions that are doable
Goalucard/Wizard: Maybe the problem is that I’ve only been emailing them weekly. Thanks, I’ll try the daily method.
Trish: Does that mean we have a Prowl for today? BTW, I’m going to have some time available to help with the Part Two. Today is another chocolate day, and I have to give it time to cool.
In regards to your Post Trish – I think we should recommend to BO all the Senators as his running mate that voted for him – seems to put a curse on them ..LOL
You GO Pa-dem – you have been very helpful to Trish’s project and the daily seems to work if nothing else annoys them from getting so many emails from me that they have to answer hoping I will just go away.
Hate to leave you alone Trish – but company just came a knocking on my door – be back soon – hang tight.
#329 pa dem
I didn’t see a prowl, but Maryland suggested everyone take a little family time today, spend it with your friends, husband, wife, gf, bf, partners, kids, etc. Then come back refreshed because its a very busy month ahead.
Thank you about part 2, I hope to send out things tonight.

ok pa-dem, I’m getting you a list right now seeing your chocolate is cooling. lol
Wizard:
We should come up with a POEM to send to the SDs. LOL…make it witty and try to get them to laugh, but also show how serious we are. If we all sent the same poem, they would notice.
Hmmm, maybe a play on Roses are red, violets are blue..
Red / Blue…Republican/ Democrat
DAILY CALL TO ACTION – KING ME
Send a paper crown to the DNC. You can modify one from Burger King, cut a simple front view in a crown shape out of paper, or buy a shiny cardboard crown at a party store for about a buck.
On the crown write:
OBAMA – SELECTED, NOT ELECTED or
We want a convention, not a coronation!
Add your name and state on the back, along with the words PUMA DEMOCRAT or just PUMA!
Mail to:
Democratic National Committee
Attn: Howard Dean
430 S. Capitol St. SE
Washington, DC 20003
Now please post this call to action on another justsaynodeal member site! We just say NO to King Obama!
WE ARE PUMA! Grrrrrrrrrrrrr
I got this one done today! I just found a picture of a crown on Yahoo and cut it out. Very Easy.
By the way that Daily action was found at bitterpoliticz!

See I can’t stay away from you guys – I have company now – told them I would get them some drinks and ran to the screen – KAT IN YOUR HAT – GREAT IDEA – will give it some thought while I am TALKING to my guests -
I am going to do it Pooh 496 -
OK now I am going to be the host that I can be – back later.
How about those Obama campaign banners at the Wailing Wall in Jerusalem? Really, there seems to be no limit to their lack of taste and arrogance.

Kewl! Glad you are going to do it.

Thanks Wizard.
BTW:
Is Pastor Manning on Clintons4McCain radio?? I just hear a voice like his…
I can’t get into the chat room..
yes thats rev manning
Hi everyone i have done my letters plus extras. I wnet into the UK blogs. Now time to read everything else.
#279- wizard!!!
You inspired me…
So I went to the site you mentioned and I sent my own personal letter to SDs, I picked the ones who are in support of Nobama and the ones who are listed as not committed.

I sent you an email
Thanks
Manning has very strong feelings about O…
wow.
he sure does…
#353 kat in your hat
That’s putting it mildly…One of the first ones I listened to I almost fell out of my chair!! He has a new one on YouTube that is 2 days old asking McCain to please consider 2 candidates.
Yes, I have listened to him before…he is very controversial.
He supposedly has about 5mil listeners/followers…not many obots will go up against this man!
Right, I wish there was a chat, so I can get in…I checked out a few listeners and it seems there is one opposing listener…so if there was a chat..I’d be in there.
#351 Lotts1948 – Thanks for doing that – it really does give you a feeling of achievement and whatever the outcome is at least you know that YOU DID everything that you could possibly do – you climbed the mountain – you got to the top – and you did it yourself -
and LOTTS you inspire me as well -
I am evil though – I have excused myself again from my guests saying I had to go to the restroom – but came here instead – they will leave if I don’t go back to them – but so proud of you Pumas – you really do make a difference – and I do hear it from so many superdelegates who are behind us 100% -
ATTN: MASSACHUSETTS PUMA. I am re-enrolling as Dem so I can work on helping Ed O’Reilly from within the party. If we can stay together to fight for changes, then I will stay Dem rather than go Ind. like I did after May 31…
I got this email Thursday.
Ed O’Reilly Calls Upon John Kerry to Campaign in Massachusetts
Yesterday, Ed sent the following letter by courier to Senator Kerry:
Dear Senator Kerry:
With the September 16th Primary less than eight weeks away, I believe it is time for us to schedule debates and other forums so that the voters of Massachusetts will have the ability to participate in democracy to its fullest extent. With this in mind, I am proposing that we have the following three styles of debates:
1. You and I participate in town meeting style gatherings in each of the Commonwealth’s 14 Counties. This would be a way of taking direct questions from local people in an informal setting. If we devote two to three hours to each county forum, this would take approximately three working days;
2. You and I appear in a somewhat more formal setting at each of the 5 UMass campuses, Springfield Technical Community College, North Shore Community College, Berkshire Community College and Cape Cod Community College. These could be more structured than the county forums with questions from the print media as well as from the audience. This would take approximately 10-16 hours;
3. We have been formally invited to appear on Springfield’s Jim Madigan’s (WGBY) program, with Emily Rooney on WGBH in Boston, on WBZ-TV’s Jon Keller, and on NECN with Jim Braude. I have indicated to each of these hosts that I am willing to appear with you, but your confirmation is needed. Naturally, we should be fair to other television (and radio) hosts and I am willing to increase the number of appearances, accordingly.
Since the Senate is not in session the entire month of August, there is no reason why we should not bring more direct democracy into this campaign by implementing the first two above proposals within the next few weeks.
Many of the hosts in the third proposal have indicated that television appearances would be most beneficial to voters between Labor Day and the September 16th Primary. I agree.
I look forward to hearing from you.
Sincerely,
Edward J. O’Reilly
Ed O’Reilly believes it is not too much to ask Senator Kerry to devote 5 days every 6 years to enter into dialogue with the people of Massachusetts.
Join Ed — Shake Up the Status Quo!

DEADGIRLSRISE: Thank you! For the record, I totally agree with your comments re NObama, not now, not later (and it keeps getting later and later doesn’t it?,never, NOT EVER. I would love to see O’Reiley beat Kerry. I registered to get emails from him as soon as I heard he had qualified. I lived in New Hampshire for one year and Boston for a year, until one cold winter day, I literally started to see blooming azaeleas, magnolias, appear in my brain as I trudged through the snow. Figured it was time to go home! I wish you great luck working for O’Reiley’s campaign efforts!
#362 Alice Rodham Puma, love that video, thank you for sharing it.
I know some of you don’t like Lyndon LaRouche; however, this video at u-tube is pro-hillary and worth watching.

PUMA ALERT
what is the website for tonight’s radios how????
Hello Pumas !
Bonjour Lin4Hill #138 : bienvenue in France ! Welcome to you and congratulations for your granddaughter !
I’m sorry to contradict you, but it is not true to say that we French people are “ready to swallow” Obama’s lies just because we think McCain will continue the war, and BO will stop it.
French people are not so stupid ! And I would even say that from what I’ve heard and read since Obama’s visit yesterday, we are less gullible and naive than the others, because, as you can see on my blog : Obama’s trip here was not such a great success, and this morning the press was quite critical.
http://hillary.meilleur.choix.qu-obama.over-blog.com/
(I’ve just written something about the mood here this morning following O’s visit ; I will publish a review of the french press in a moment…)
We do not swallow : we are beginning to understand the truth. The people I know (a lot of them are teachers, so they are supposed to be able to think a little !) think Obama is “a lot of words”, a media phenomenon. Most of them had a strong preference for Hillary, and they have been very happy to learn that such groups like Pumas exist.
A lot of my friends tell me the Democratic Party seems to be willing to lose the election : they tell me : “we don’t understand. They had an extraordinary candidate ; she was sure to win, and yet they have chosen this man ! Are they mad” ?
I think that people who are not superficial are perfectly aware that Obama is a disaster (and is lying about Iraq too) : we are not expecting him to save the world !
Been reading some of this afernoon’s blogs and I have to say that even if some appear to be chatting, we also are not just sitting around doing bupkus!
Last night I posted a template letter for the Electability Watch and for SD’s that you can write to, http://www.together4us and you can get a listing of all the ones to write to.
Also, I think it’s good that some of us feel that we can tell our personal stories- it’s lonely out here when you are a Clintonista in Bambiland and no one wants to “hear it anymore”. Just my four cents this afternoon.
#374 delphinefromfrance on 07.26.08 at 6:06 pm
You never cease to impress us. Do you know of other blogs like yours in France that we can help get attention to along with yours? Do you have PUMA friendly friends?

Thanks…

It is indeed a very funny yet very frightening article.
I read it at:
http://democrats-against-obama.org/
It was funnier there because it was posted under a picture of a piece of toast with the image of ‘the chosen one.’
There are currently 2036 signers as “Democrats Against Obama”.
It is a continuous log, visual only. No blog. Many are listed with their given names.
Other good articles there as well.

Hours before flying home, Obama also suggested his poll numbers might dip in the coming days, adding: “We have been out of the country for a week. People are worried about gas prices and home foreclosures.”

Murphy, You’ve got mail.
I’m sure all of you have known arrogant people. But then there are ARROGANT people who are oblivious to how they come across to people. You know what I mean?
I think Axelrod, Obama, Dean, Brazile, etc etc…are the sorts of social fools who are oblivious to how they come across.
I don’t know who planned this whole rock star tour around the world, but my word, did NOT ONE OF THEM think that it would come off as negative???
These people are absurd.

Maryland Puma
I received an email from PUMAPAC, the troublesome part is that is not the email address I signed up with.
It is not the email address I receive my receive all the prowls. Any thoughts??
Hi #376 IndyPUMA ! Thanks for your message and for the comments you’ve left on my blog.
Well, you know, I happen to know quite a lot of persons here who actually can’t stand Obama ! As I said earlier, a lot of them are fond of Hillary and they still don’t understand why HE is the presumptive nominee whereas SHE has won the primaries in the biggest states. In fact, most of them don’t understand anything about the rules of nomination established by the Democratic party ! That’s why they are interested in the possibility of a convention in Denver which would enable Hillary to be finally chosen !
Of course, this is a minority of people, but I think it’s important to contact the media constantly to remind them of those facts. I’ll do that next week once again, and I’ll try to tell some of my friends to do the same. The problem is that… here in France, there is a big tradition in July/ august : the summer holiday is a sacred moment, and people generally prefer to sunbathe than to read about politics !
By the way, I’ve decided to write comments on the blogs of several American papers or tv networks tonight or tomorrow, because I am quite fed up with what I’ve read about Obama in France. British newspapers are more objective : one example :
http://www.guardian.co.uk/commentisfree/2008/jul/26/france.nicolassarkozy
The British share the impression I have had (and this is something most French journalists have noticed ) : Sarkozy gave a lesson in political communication to his young pupil Obama ! Obama’s eyes were stuck to his notes ! Who has said he is a great communicator ??
#392… :0
he hasn’t had a speach yet that he hasn’t plegerized someone
Your northern neighbor:
Oh, no doubt. I just blog hopped and noticed pro-Obama bloggers desperately scrambling to defend Obama. People aren’t hearing it anymore.
People are DONE with the O-show.
395…. you might tell them that he gets his idea from other great speaches ….he just changes the words a bit…anyone could do that….
…he got his platform from Hillary..( he changed the health care a bit …so it wouldnt be JUST like hers )..that is why he is an emty suit !!! He can read very well….. 
I might add….i don’t like he way he reads…… he sounds like a preacher….
Went to politicallydrunk and sent the last stand email with this added comment:
All democratic voters watched the primary process play out with tremendous interest as we had so many excellent candidates. But to our horror, one candidate was unfairly pushed forward and another was undermined, slandered, and forced out of the race by foul means by party members when the momentum was clearly in her favor. The disunity caused by this will have repercussions for years to come. You can help heal these wounds.
A nice nod to us PUMAs from Newsbusters – observing how the MSM goes to great length to ignore us
http://edgeoforever.wordpress.com/2008/07/26/media-ignores-puma/
I have been off working for the past few days and have not had many chances to access to a computer for longer than 5 – 10 minutes. I have read through a few of the posts but if there is something of importance that I may have missed please update me. I watched little news because I can’t stand listening to Obama or anything about him. I left PUMA posters in numerous locations as I traveled.
400… you wonder why they can’t see that… they think they have done nothing wrong….they followed the rules…. we have news for them… and it WILL go down in History as fraud….im so ashamed of the DNC…. almost to the piont i feel sorry for them….
Book Store sweep.
Puma cards make great bookmarks! Slipped them into selected books throughout the store!

It is the stretchy material. I never wore skin tight tops when I was a teenager (always been overly endowed), and I am not going to start at my age..
Your sausage comment cracked me up, because that is exactly what I looked like..
When I put it on, my husband (bless his heart) tried so hard not to laugh.
I will just put it with my Hillary shirt that goes down to my knees. They will be a reminder of this terrible primary race, and the corrupt DNC.. As if I could forget.
I hope and pray that we can help turn this thing around.
I am leaving for Canada if IT wins the election. Tom mentioned one thing when I said that. “You don’t even have a passport.” That’s true..
Must go take care of my birds now. Talk with you later.

I have finally had the time to link to your site. It is awesome. Refreshing to get another point of view from those that are residents and know but than us how to interpret what is actually happening. Thank you much for sharing your work with us.
Below is what is coming out over at TaylorMarsh. There are several other articles after this one (the lastest) that has Taylor biting her nails as she posts. Thought I would share on this hot and humid Saturday Afternoon in Texas. Enjoy.
*********************************************
Obama’s VP Field Narrows
With summer at its peak and the Olympics a mere two weeks away, its getting to be about that time.
Before leaving on his overseas trip, Sen. Barack Obama reviewed information on several prospects and narrowed the field. His focus now includes five colleagues in the U.S. Senate — Joseph Biden, Evan Bayh, Chris Dodd, Hillary Clinton and Jack Reed — and two governors, Tim Kaine of Virginia and Kathleen Sebelius of Kansas, according to Democratic operatives, though he could still make a different pick.
No real surprises here, except for those who contend that there is no way he will pick Hillary. Apparently, she’s made the final cut. Honestly, I see the field as even more narrow, with Jack Reed already saying he would reject the offer. And seriously…Chris Dodd? I just don’t see it.
There are also some reservations about the popular Kansas governor:
In a recent Kansas City TV interview, Sen. Obama said, “I love Kathleen Sebelius. I think she is as talented a public official as there is right now.” But one operative said, “It would be tough to pick any woman other than Hillary.”
I’ve heard similar rumblings from some Democratic friends of mine. Fair or not, many do feel that if one woman has earned the right to make history on this presidential ticket, it is Hillary and only Hillary. Sebelius is a talented governor with a bright future in the party, but I believe that choosing her this year would go over like a lead balloon.
Looking at the field, my personal read on it is that an Obama/Clinton ticket is closer to becoming a reality. If victory and competent governing are the goals, it’s hard to imagine a smarter pick. Either way, we’ll all know soon enough.
#407 revise line 3–”better than us”

I did other things too, I just won’t repeat them on here.
LOL!
Pookie 375…..- here are other addresses to get emails and addresses for SD’s…don’t know if they took my former posting down or what..
http://delegatehub.wordpress.com
http//online.wsj.com/public/resources/documents/retro-delegateList0802.html
http://lobbydelegates.com/default.aspx
Here’s an example of a letter:
Ladies and Gentleman:
I have been a loyal democrat all of my adult life. I grew up in a household i whcih a picture of John F. Kennedy hung on the wall and on the wall in my father’s office.
I unfailingly supported Democratic candidates financially, as a volunteer and with my vote. I am the personification of the party’s base. But this year, my 30 plus years of loyalty to the Democratic party is in danger.
After suffering through a Florida recount in 2000 and through nearly eight years of an illegitimate presidency, I looked forward to 2008 as a year in which we Democrats would cakewalk to victory.
With more than a year long primary behind us, wer find that the “system” develoed by the DNC decades ago is not serving us well. Superdelegates, “the safety factor”, envisioned by the party leaders long ago, are responsible to ensure that the nation’s voters are presented with the most electable Democrat. For a host of rasons having little to do with democracy or the decisions of voters, the part is in danger of nominating a losing candidate.
On June 7, Senator Clinton suspended, not ended, her campaign. Like many other Democrats across the country, I am writing to superdelegates whose ONLY job at the convention this summer is to pick the electable candidate in November.
Hillary Clinton is clearly that candidate. Senator Clinton won the popular vote, she had the most momentum after winning six of the last nine contests, and she is stronger in the states that make the biggest difference in who wins and loses the White House. She is the ohly candidate winning in the battlegrounds of Ohio and Florida.
As I’m sure you know, since March 1st, Hillary Clinton has won over a half million more votes that Senator Obama. Hillary Clinton has won states with a total of 308 electoral votes; Obama has won states with a total of 224 electoral votes. Hillary won in 7 of the 8 states with the most electoral votes – Obama won only his home state- Illinois.
I will be writing to you each week as part of an Electability Watch. Each week I will be highlighting relevant news about both candidates and their potential to be elected in November. I eagerly look forward to presenting these facts for your consideration.
Thank you for your attention to this matter.
Sincerely, Lorelai
If for some reason, the addresses above do not get you to the lists you need, let me know and I will try again.
p.s. I pick sd’s based on reasons like : they are from my state, my family lives in one of their states, any link I can figure out that will make a connection to them (I went to college in their state….you get the picture).
Hope this helps!
#407 Jeremy that’s a interesting list , I bet Richardson is soooo mad he is not on that list after he backstabbed the Clinton’s like that and now for nothing. I heard Evan Bayh doesn’t want it either (But only heard that once awhile ago things can change)
I am getting so discouraged. Obama seems to be winning. I don’t know how. He parades around Europe spewing anti-American rhetoric and his numbers go up. What the hell is going on? Maybe it is inevitable. I hope not. I hope that dirty tricks and lies don’t work but…Oh!!! I need reassurance!
I sure don’t want it to be Hillary on the ticket with NOBama!!
space cadet moron supports Obama…
art bell..mr UFO,little green men,leprachuans and fairy rings pusher has come out for Obama…
where do they come from these Obama supporters?
why do they come to us..they seem to find us? why do they torment us so?
#405 catsrlove
You actualy do need a passport now, thank your homeland security for that
Lorelai regarding the SD’s role and delphinefromfrance if you are still around I would like your take on this:
As “the citizen of the world” completes his foreign lesson on challenges of being able to handle the position of “Commander in Chief,” some questions are beginning to be asked of how he got in this position in the first place. He did not win the popular vote by the Democratic Electorate or go over the top with delegates won during the primaries. The campaign of Hillary Clinton, with all of the obstacles that it confronted, was a rivalry that could not be “shook” and taken down. Now these are the new talking words regarding the SD—it was only due to THE BAIL OUT BY THE SUPERS that permitted him to get to the point that his is today. So with the 200K cheering away in Berlin, etc, and the fawning media, etc, etc—he is still not clinching the deal—and looks to be on the way to burn out.
#395 delphinefromfrance on 07.26.08 at 6:37 pm
My pleasure.
http://thedenvergroup.blogspot.com/
Is a group dedicated to keeping the Convention Process honest and transparent. There’s a tradition with the Convention process which is about to be put aside so that the Democratic Leadership and Obama et al. can make sure there’s nothing to get in the way of nominating Obama.
What’s scary is that there’s already plans for Obama’s acceptance speech in Mile High Stadium. That’s a dead giveaway that everything is going to be scripted to death.
Also, Super Delegates and uncommitted delegates usually put in their “Binding” votes during the convention. It’s the only time that their votes count. But, the DNC and leaders have disregarded those rules and tradition.
I have to go out, but ask many questions and we’ll be very happy to educate you on the lesser known “features” of the Democratic Party’s Primary process.
Did you know that the Dem Presidental Primaries do not reflect the US Constitution? We are afforded the right to private ballots and the idea of One Person/One Vote… but take a look at what’s called a “Caucus”.
Joseph Biden, Chris Dodd??
Oh gag me. I remember Biden from the Clarence Thomas circus. Just another pig. Honestly, it takes less time to name those who aren’t pigs than those who are.
Terry whatshisname is pushing for Tim Kaine of Virginia.
Obama/Clinton would be like making the mail clerk the CEO and the CEO the mail clerk. Insulting.
If Obama is the strong candy-date they’re making him out to be, there wouldn’t be such a vested interest in who his running mate is. It’s just another sign that thin resume guy is the wrong choice.

#419 Dances–I do not want Hillary on that ticket either. I am finding this media “ping pong game” of suggesting that she will be asked one day and then with another day of news suggesting “not a chance” proving more the incredibility and confusion of the MSM.
re#418 IP..
you are the only one so far here on PUMA that has brought up that incredibly valid point which I have noticed since the primaries…
caucuses should be outlawed and only the private ballot should be recognized..
the caucus system was valuable to the Obama campaign because they were able to deftly manipulate the race card and white guilt con-game to their advantage to coerce caucus members…
I think the caucus system is basically coercive in nature and should be outlawed

This Israeli got his number..read:
http://www.israelnationalnews.com/Articles/Article.aspx/8126
417- Jeremy – I completely agree. With all of the advantages that BO has had – from media adoration, to financial bundling, to pundit idolatry (sp?), to even endorsement by the Kennedy’s, to Republicans orchestrating his rise by crossing over to vote for him, he has still failed to “seal the deal”….You would think that someone with all of these unbelievable advantages would skate into the White House…Yes?
That is what scares me so about how the system we have relied on for years has been maligned and now is sadly broken. This is our chance to “hit bottom” and rebuild- so we don’t find ourselves in this situation again.
That is why PUMA PAC is so important- part of its mission is to get Hillary on the ballot and the Democratic nominee in part, but it’s vision is for the Democratic Party to once again stand for the ideals it originally portrayed.
The old expression – When a door closes, there is a window that opens…perhaps that is the point of this. This whole failure of the primary season has brought to light through a new open window all of the work we have to do to recreate and reinforce what the Democratic party stands for. Everyone should embrace this monumental goal and GO GO GO!

My heart of hearts tells me that there is the slightest of chances (.0000001%) that he who shall not be named might extend the VP offer to Senator Clinton, but only as a last ditch effort to climb our of the toilet and claim his unearned prize.
My heart of hearts also tells me that Senator Clinton would decline his “gracious” (heh) offer.
Go Andersen – Wizard same as here
I need to get my passport too. I just never got one. I can go to Canada without it but will not get back to USA untill i get one as i was born and raised in Canada

434 sandipuma
the shrub had the law changed I think. You may need one to go to Canada or Mexico.
Does anyone know if that law passed?
Senator Clinton as a strong dedicated woman to our country does not need to say yes to VP she is way to good for that
I pray that you are right #432 DWP!!!
Hillary accepting the VP slot with Obama would be the kiss of death for her chances to be prez…
Obama would make such a total mess out of things she will be too tied to him and that would be the end of her aspirations..
her best shot is too sit it out and hope for a McCain victory then she can come roaring back in 2012 and take the Demo nomination..
Hello fellow Puma’s…….attention cali Puma’s…….I will be on later to discuss once again Denver!!! My 20yr old son wants some attention today….hope not toooo much…lol. When he wants time with me it usually means….his hand is out and money is involved!!! Yikes, anyways i will return!!!!
#400 BigCatLover :
But to our horror, one candidate was unfairly pushed forward and another was undermined, slandered….
———————————————————-
The biggest problem is that they knowingly put the party and country at risk by pushing this weak and questionable candidate forward!
The way I see it is Obama knows he is in trouble, and is trying like mad to gain traction, which he is not.
I think there has to be a tipping point somewhere even the DNC will have to recognize its failure, and we are nudging towards it. The real question is if we can get there in time.
I agree with #316 Bill-K that we need to go after the delegates and our time is tight.
I believe Trish has said that Murphy is already preparing the details for the big push?
Goandersenrodhampuma – I blogged on all the newspapers in Indiana, Ohio, Penna, N. Carolina, Texas, West Virg, Kentucky, Oregon, California, South Dakota, Montana – and made calls through the call center – I remember you – I always had a problem logging on – but still made it usually – came on about six months prior to the end

The Donna Brazile – Karl Rove Connection
In order to “save” the Democratic Party, Brazile resolved back in 2003 that she might have to destroy it first. And who better to help her in this lofty pursuit than her new best friend, the man neoconservatives call “The Architect”.
– Seems to me what PUMA is blamed for trying to do is no different than their own mission launched back then.
#441 BCL..
I like your optimism and wish it was to be..
BUT…..there is only about one month until the convention and in my opinion too little..too late for enough delegates to flip….

actually,barring a miracle at the dem convention..I will be voting for McCain in November..
sandipuma great posts today in Guardian.

I look at it this way:
I think it is fair to say the contest is real close right now.
Nobody knows what the final votes will be until all the votes are in.

Obama the Wordsmith
His once-golden tongue is now tarnished
By Suzanne Fields, The Washington Times
July 25, 2008
Article Excerpt:
Barack Obama strings words together with enormous flair, but his speeches sound better than they read. The words dazzle, but lack precision. The cadences make music, but music marred by occasional false notes. He complains that his audiences lack focus and are easily distracted, but the trick is in his rhetoric.
re#467 YNN..
fair enough..
but there are too many signs that are showing Hillary is being taken out of the game … she’s talking support for Obama,even going so far as to urge PUMA to stop opposition to Obama and tow the DNC line…..
look my friend I don’t believe in drinking ANYONES kool-aid.I prefer to deal with reality as I see it…
all I know barring a miracle in Denver I will be supporting John McCain for president in November..

You’re welcome.
Knowing that others beyond our borders see him for what he is can only give us hope.
This man’s very strong article was published.
Here we are in the land of free speech. You know there are multitudes of like-minded people in the States. How many are able to have their voices heard? Has all opposition been shut down?
This is a terrifying preview of things to come if *61 is elected.
i am taking a break

Passport to get into Canada and passport to get out. Thank homeland security for that. They accused canadians of harbouring the terrorists responsible for 911, as a result tighter border control was established. Bush and his dancing friends at homeland wanted it to be a one way check, meaning only those going into the US are checked.
Canadians ripped him and our government a new “fill-in-the-blank” and we said no damn way on that, both ways or no way.
I flew to BC from Ontario last summer like once a week, my first flight after this fiasco I had to sign a homeland security form authorizing them access to my personal info, simply because there was a slight probability that the plane may fly over american land depending on turbulance.
But there’s this nice little tunnel over in BC that reaches into the US, that was dug by smugglers that you don’t need a passport for lol.

Besides getting the error–my page never completely loads up. DWP–will your suggestion #483 help with this as well?
#147 Lorelai ~~~Bush is on a dry drunk, alriight, and Obama had overdosed on Viagra so bad he’s screwing himself every time he opens his mouth.
“They accused canadians of harbouring the terrorists responsible for 911,”
And Bush neber thanked Canada for allowing all those US planes to land in Canada on 9/11, nor did he thank all those towns and people who opened their homes and extended their hospitality to complete strangers for days on end during the no-fly period!!

#469 DancesWithPumas
You asked why was freepuma here…
Earlier today you gave a definition that answers your question
Hi Pumas!
Just got home from work, wore my Puma T-Shirt and just came up with the idea to wear it to the elections in Nov!
from ABOUT PUMA….
“1. To support the candidacy of Hillary Clinton. Updated 6/7/08 — Hillary Clinton was forced to suspend her campaign because the DNC decided to select its preferred nominee, so we are not directly campaigning for her. We consider her to be the leader of the Democratic party and our members will continue to support her throughout this election cycle.
2. To lobby and organize for changes in leadership in the DNC
3. To critique and oppose the misogyny, discrimination, and disinformation in the mainstream media, including mainstream blogs and other outlets of new media
4. To support the efforts of those political figures who have allied themselves with Hillary Clinton and who have demonstrated commitment to our first three goals”
guess I have a lot of catching up to do .
Right now, there are really only two viable positions. You can be pro-McCain or pro-Obama. Voting for one of the alternative candidates ultimately gives an advantage to one side or the other by deducting votes from their total. Conservative voters voting for Barr do so with the knowledge that they are hurting McCain. Liberals voting for Nader or McKinney do so with the knowledge that they are hurting Obama.
Trish,
I’ve thought that all along.
There’s also one other guy, whose name I will not name publically.
#476 freepuma,
I think the DNC has its way to apply pressure to its members, just watch how everyone even Bill Clinton has to say he “will” support Obama.
However, the fact that Hillary never gave up her delegates said it all.
I do not have any objections for anyone to vote for McCain, because I see him as the lesser of the two evil, but I believe the #1 goal for Puma PAC is to fight for Hillary’s nomination in Denver.
What comes next will take care of itself.
#476 freepuma on 07.26.08 at 8:01 pm
I think I hear what you may be trying to say.
My view is that it’s worth fighting for a transparent and honest convention regardless of the outcome this year. In doing so, we’ll be an influence for future conventions….
Like me, I think your putting effort today for the convention but also keeping your eye on our Plan B?
Is this a fair way of characterizing your position?
Alright, folks. I’m going out now, for reals this time.
Stay classy and always be as dimplomatic as you can.
Unless Hillary gets the nom I will be voting for John Mccain.
The show Meet me in Denver will air in 50 minute(s). Click to listen.
Or copy and paste the link below:
http://www.Blogtalkradio.com/nqr/2008/07/27/Meet-me-in-Denver
And do not forget, if you want to call in live and speak with the host, be sure to dial (347)677-0792. You will be placed into the caller queue where you will still be able to hear the show while you are on hold.
I got another request for money from the dems,it was help knock out John Mccain ,I sent my usual reply.
Not everyone needs to actually vote for McCain, although one McCain vote equals two stay homes.
I want Obama to lose more STATES than McGovern did. So in November, if the polls show a very close race where every vote will count, I’ll vote for McCain. But if the state is already safely in one column or the other, a third party vote sends a clearer message. (Writing in Hillary might get counted for Obama, if bots are doing the vote count!)
Anyway, it’s not something we have to worry about at this point! Wait for November and the polls.
#487 DancesWithPumas
You’re very right, and we did take it personally and it hurt. We were as horrified as americans on that day, so many canadians went to the crash site and helped endlessly then we hear we’re being blamed, homeland claimed the terrorist were residing in Montreal and travelled down through ontario crossing the border in niagara/buffalo then driving to new york.
it still hurts me inside when I think of not only everything that happened and all the lives that were lost, but also how easy Bush placed the blame. We pride ourselves up here on our safety and our willingness to help where ever we can. Bush put an edge in our step that day.
On the other hand last year a terrorist school was discovered in ontario and everyone involved was arrested.Oddly, Bush was quiet then, guess he didn’t want it leaked that there wre americns involved.
For us , it meant our police force were better able to identify and close down such operations, that was a very big step from only few years ago.

My, my! Are the tides finally showing a sign of changing? And here CNN reports (and I couldn’t believe when I saw it, too good!)
A few teaser paragraghs…….
‘On Saturday, retired Lt. Col. Joe Reypya, speaking on behalf of Sen. John McCain’s campaign, lashed out at Obama’s decision.
“The most solemn duty of a commander in chief is to fulfill his responsibility to the men and women who serve this country in uniform. Barack Obama … broke that commitment, instead flitting from one European capital to the next,” he said in a statement. Watch more on the troop controversy »
“For a young man so apt at playing president, Barack Obama badly misjudged the important demands of the office he seeks. Visits with world leaders and speeches to cheering Europeans shouldn’t be a substitute for comforting injured American heroes,” he added.’
http://www.cnn.com/2008/POLITICS/07/25/obama.troops/index.html
I fully expect Hillary to get the nom at the convention!
re#497 DWP.. I don’t appreciate you’re clever litttle baiting tricks here..PUMA in my opinon should be a group that allows for different points of view regarding election 08…
some of us here are die-hard Hillary fans and I can appreciate that..but others here are seeing that option disappear on a daily basis and are looking ahead to defeat Obama even if it means voting McCain or third party..
just because others don’t go along with your individual perspective don’t bait them..
#428 Lorelai
Great post! This should have been the year of the Democrats. Instead, the party is divided, and they have no one to blame but themselves.
Murphy
Thank you, I received my cute Puma t-shirt. I’m still working on a couple of old prowls from the week.
Pumas,
Folks, you are the best. We care enough about our country to fight the most unworthy presidential candidate and party in recent history.
Got to go-still working on my Puma projects.
freepuma:
One step at a time.
Any action to hurt Obama at the convention is automatically anti-Obama and conversely pro-McCain as it demonstrates instability within the party. However, if by some miracle Hillary is nominated, the current dichotomy changes. People in this election really aren’t going to be voting on the issues, Obama has made sure of that. They are going to be voting based on personality and character. If you think Obama has a good personality and strong character, you will feel obligated to vote for him (you’re a fool though). The same is true for McCain. Obama’s flip flops have made issues unimportant because we are not aware of his stances. It was very clever of him to do this.

I don’t bait people.

are you going to Denver?
TrishfromCanada
Got your email – thanks. I sent you a new one with a different subject.
Thanks
#513.. GA..
Yes,I am going to Denver and I plan to demonstrate quite vociferously my disapproval of the DNC hijacking this election year and ripping off Hillary..even if it means my risking arrest..I’m putting my money where my mouth is..
two small words would make my millenium…
Hillary won!
Two simple words that could change the world, or at least rock the powers that be. And the joy, the joy.
peace out freepuma…
my mission is to get HRC nominated at the convention and for her to become the nominee of the Democratic party.. the real elected nominee.. I will keep on believing that it will be until I have no choice..
that’s why I participate in the actions and write letters on my own to the local newspapers, the area newspapers; I’ve been writing to the Texas Democratic Party members as well as the National.. it never hurts to cover the bases.
Believe… envision… there’s power in PUMA!!!
jeremy, loreili,
It’s not that the supers bailed out Obama — it’s that Pelosi,Dean, and some DNC committee people kept slanting things for him and then pressured some of the supers to declare for him in June. This was not a binding declaration, they can still vote as they like in August — unless the DNC somehow cancels or rigs the August convention.
At some point, EITHER candidate would have needed some supers to ‘break the tie’ so to speak. A majority of the 4,000 delegates is required. The pledged delegates were so evenly split that NEITHER candidate could have got a majority without some of the supers as well.
515 freepuma
me too. maybe we will end up in the same cell!
ANYTHING could happen in Denver….I keep praying, and writing, and calling.
My secret dream is that after she speaks the clapping starts and never stops and they begin the roll call vote and it is unanimous. That man is ushered away.
I have already started clapping in my heart
)
re#517lotts 1948(the year truman upset dewy)
I’m with you lotts….I’m down for the fight against the DNC corruption..
but it is so disheartening to hear Hillary telling her most ardent supporters to stop resisting Obama and get in tow behind him..
freepuma….email us here if you need bail money!
#514 1gypsy4mc
Got it, thank you, I took care of it right away.
Hi Pumas,
I’m bummed out. I tried to go protest Howard Dean’s bus tour today, but something was just against it. First the exit to get on the Interstate near my house was closed due to construction, so I had to take a roundabout way that added 20 minutes to my trip just to get on it. Then, when I got to Atlanta, the exit I needed to take was closed due to construction so, I followed a detour that took me around in circles. Finally, I found my way, but the bridge to where I needed to go was closed due to construction. I tried to follow the detour for, that and ended up going in the same circle I was in previously. After all that, I just gave up. I called the person who had organized the event and told her I was just going home. Ohhhhh! What a frustrating trip! Roar!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
re#522 JFH..
thanks but my little brother is one of the most prominent attorneys here in nor cal..and he is backing me..thanks anyway

Wow Anti!!!
and if you see anything on TV about lightning striking an area where you might have been standing if you’d gotten there.. LOL.
At least you tried.. durn road construction.. I guess it really was a case of … “You just can’t get there from here”.. LOL
I know this is not new. But take a read at the last paragraph. I think I will show “her” some gratitude in “her” opt.
Regarding #518, I think it was the synergy of all combined.
*******************************************
Wisconsin Democrats Oust Rogue McCain Voter, HRC Delegate
Well, one HRC supporter gone rogue learns the hard way.
Wisconsin Democrats have ousted a delegate to their national convention for saying she would vote for Republican Sen. John McCain.
The Wisconsin Democratic Party’s administrative committee voted Friday to strip Debra Bartoshevich of her status as a delegate to the Denver convention….
Any HRC supporter who is going to vote for McCain in the general deserves what Bartoshevich got. Right on, Wisconsin. Besides, any delegate stupid enough to open his/her mouth to admit their plans to vote for McCain instead of Obama in the general election doesn’t have the political sense God gave Dan Quayle. Good riddance. We’ve got enough dumb Democrats already.

Can I Join your clapping?

Bummer! At least you tried!

Boy, I thought those kind of things only happened to me!! Sorry it was such a nightmare for you but I know it will not blow the wind out of your sails for long!
New Post up –
take it upstairs!
Antifish-
I’m sorry you were unable to reach your destination today. You should have come and played with me in Charlotte yesterday. Then you too would have the distinction of being called “low class” by Coward Dean!
its almost 6 pm here in cali..9pm back east..gonna tune in to the blog radio show in 15..
#521 freepuma,
Don’t be disheartened by Hillary asking her supporters to get behind Obi. What else can she do? You know the pressure is on her from mob in the DNC. Dean is breathing down here throat and probably threatening to destroy her place in the Dem party if she moves a hair in the wrong direction. We know how she REALLY thinks. That is not the real Hillary talking, I pay no mind.
Hey Vonay, snort. rofl. Yup I am a male of the species.
Unfortunately however, I work every weekend. Right now its seven days a week so my time here is limited.
Was in stealth puma mode today. Checking the pulse of my customers.
Seems the average person is beginning to get scared of precious.
Really. It’s kinda weird. After his trip abroad people are wondering what his real motivation is. These are average people. Not politically active at all.
Quite a few expressed the same sentiment. One they are sick of hearing how wonderful 61 is from the media.
Two. They “feel” there is something” really wrong with him.
Three. They wonder why he hasn’t actually said anything of substance.
Another odd turn is the number of AA’s who are now beginning to speak out against precious. Mostly women but a few men as well. Maybe 20% of my AA customers.
The supporters of “O” are looking more dejected then anything else.
#537 Tad…
it’s great you are so optimistic..I am also in my own way..optimistic to clean up the DNC nest of corruption…
I am a vietnam vet and its in my blood through training and indoctrination that a leader NEVER EVER tells it’s own troops to support the enemy.. sorry if I am so naieve
Fellow PUMAs
check out this from Austin, TX
http://www.statesman.com/search/content/region/legislature/stories/07/26/0726texdems.html
hey bellecat:
I saw, I read and I commented earlier:)
one discontent with*61
There is no way that Hillary will accept the VP position.
Nobama wants someone weak for his VP; that way he can look stronger.
I am very glad that backstabber Richardson is no longer on the VP list. He threw his friendship with the Clintons under the bus for nothing. Good job Bill.
I really hope more Americans can see that nobama is not the right person to be our President. I wouldn’t vote for him as dog catcher.
PUMA PROUD
=^..^=
is the murphy radio show on now?
Hello PUMA’s,
Good to be back again. I missed not reading your posts.
I just wanted to remind you to please send in your videos to Dean telling him “Why you are a Democrat in 2008″? The deadline for entries is August 1. Here’s the link:
http://www.youtube.com/demconvention
Have fun
mzebest;
His visit to the wall was not on his schedule, and the campaign didn’t know anything about it. He left at pre-dawn and it was still dark. There shouldn’t have been “dozen of people there to meet him”. When you leave that early; you don’t want a crowd.
That should have been a time between him and God for sacred prayer at the Wall, and to leave his prayer note. It would seem that he wanted it to be a private, and solemn time; otherwise he wouldn’t have left that early in the morning.
The Rabbi, secret police, and maybe a few of his reporters should have been the only people necessary to accompany him.
He is using propaganda to control the way people think.
