MSNBO!

Just got back from our Union Station rally in front of the MSNBC tent. We STOLE the show! Chris Matthews was there; David Shuster was there — Riverdaughter was leading the charge and had everyone chanting No We Won’t!, What does democracy look like? This is what democracy looks like! Sexist Pig (to Chris Matthews himself!) HILLARY! Will post photos as they come up.

Off to Cheesman Park soon.

PUMA PROWL TONIGHT
I’m trying to gather all the media reports about PUMA’s. It’s quite overwhelming today. Yea! I need volunteers willing to commit this evening to watching one channel for an hour or so, and posting right away when we have a report on. Then I can usually get the report on-line for our archives.
Anyone willing to take a certain period of time and a particular channel?
Have tried twice to post this, but it keeps disappearing.

#5 lisa on 08.25.08 at 7:33 pm

oh you did it tennaseepuma!
I need help with the media addresses.
every single freakin media email I have sent out has come back as undeliverable! GRRRRRRRRHHHHH!
somebody got a fresh list they can print?

#6 Kerri on 08.25.08 at 7:34 pm

Looking for updates from Denver…anything, Murphy?

#7 BigCatLover on 08.25.08 at 7:34 pm

On MSNBC Dennis Kuchinich saying he will speak at the convention and advise Obama on what issues are important to his constituents.

Murphy I saw you all behind Chris Matthews. I was thrilled when you all started shouting while Boxer was trying to shove the UNITY issue down our throats.

I got through to talk on the radio talk show this morning with Sherry and Riverdaughter was there. One more little piece of history to share with my grand daughters. MY real voice was heard in DENVER! :)

CLARIFICATION

You are not “reporting” caucus fraud to state officials in the sense that, you expect them to do anything about it. Rather, you are pointing out that, given these frauds, this party primary process is a sham. And, given this extensive evidence the Democratic primary process is a sham – you didn’t hear about these irregularities in the Republican process, did you; why is it that citizens of the same state know how to carry out a caucus, if they are Republicans but not if they are Democrats? – you see no justification for allowing it to continue.

AT&T thanks the Blue Dog Democrats with a lavish party

ROAR!!!!!

#20 BigCatLover on 08.25.08 at 7:40 pm

MSNBC

Clueless Chuck Todd saying full votes for FL and MI to be done tonight and that hey have great seats on the convention floor. Also saying there will be a choreographed roll call vote but will be a roll call vote. He doesn’t know what the actual scenario will be, so confirming that reports we’ve heard are not firm.

MSNBC

Saying HRC not supporting BO, but she feels the better CIC would not be McCain, so will not cause a disruption. He is not pushing the party line that she will happily step aside for BO. (Considering this is MSNBC, that is a big concession that things are not all rosy.)

good lord…i think i was downstairs talking to myself…hope the media didnt catch any of that….might think we are batty!!!!

#32 GOSUEF4HIL on 08.25.08 at 7:45 pm

As I mentioned downstairs, it is not Hillary’s responsibility to have her supporters go to the dark side, if Barry wanted our votes, he should have done something about it long ago (not that I can think of anything that would make me vote for him- if he were running against Satan I still wouldn’t vote for him).

And I have been telling people this is no longer about Hillary. She sometimes sounds like she is drinking the kool-aide although I am sure it is force-fed to her.

This is now about taking “democracy” back to the voters- not the media, not party elites, back to the voters.

As far as a McCain/Clinton ticket, I do think it would be game changing but I don’t think either of them are in the position this year to do it. And she does not believe in his platform. But it sure would beat the heck out of BO and I am all for a landslide loss for him in NOvember!

BTW- it looks like BO is now ahead only 10 electoral votes! I say next week, we get to work on the swing states!

#33 Firebelle Puma on 08.25.08 at 7:46 pm

The Impossible Dream

Dear Pumas, when I heard this song a few moments ago, I knew I had to post the lyrics to give us all strength and inspiration.

To dream the impossible dream
To fight the unbeatable foe
To bear the unbearable sorrow
To run where the brave dare not go

To write the unwritable wrong
To be better far than you are
To try when your arms are too weary
The reach the unreachable star

This is my quest, to follow that star
No matter how hopeless,
No matter how far
To fight for the right
Whithout question or pause
To be willing to march into hell
For a heavenly cause

And I know if I’ll only be true
To this glorious quest
That my heart will be peaceful and calm
When I’m laid to my rest

And the world would be better for this
That one man scorned and covered with scars
Still strove with his last ounce of courage
To reach the unreachable star

#34 Kerri on 08.25.08 at 7:46 pm

Is anyone aware of a live stream that I could tune into for the Lighting ceremony taking place in Denver tonight? If so, can I get a link? We want to stream it on a lappie behind us in NYC tonight.

#36 Pookie on 08.25.08 at 7:48 pm

I posted this downstairs but Glenn Beck on CNN Headline news was great on the first part. Turn MSNBC and CNN off and watch or listen to Glenn. In Indiana he is on at 7:00 and 9:00 but the very first of his show is what you need to hear it is about the convention!

Hahaha

Some kid on MSNBC saying a trustworthy poll of kids that use the internet and cell phones polled that BO leading 55% over John McCain, but they trust McCain to lead the country more than BO. Says this is why BO campaign focusing so much on young people. Oh, the kid is Luke Russert son of Tim.

#54 Oneof18million cracks... on 08.25.08 at 7:55 pm

Elaine wants us all to pick a time slot and watch a channel. Post which time slot and channel so someone else can cover a different time and channel.

Elaine can NOT possibly assign it out. If in that hour you are watching you hear ANYTHING mentioned about PUMA then post it here so she can archive it.

#55 Kerri on 08.25.08 at 7:56 pm

Big Cat: just saw the same broadcast. Poll says was an internet poll, they have “faith” in it because so many of the younger set do not take land-line polls. Anyway, betwen 18-24 year olds Obama has a 32 point lead as far as support goes. However when asked who they TRUST to be Commander in Chief Mccain has a 3 point lead on Obama.
Somewhat interesting. Do these kids realize the disparity in that? I wonder.

CASE OF FIRST IMPRESSION

This has never happened before, that is, the leading candidate for the Democratic nomination for POTUS cannot be involved in securing her nomination, which is being wrested away from her by her opponent, because this would forestall her getting the nomination (and, therefore, keep her off the state general election ballots). Everyone is trying to figure out what to do. And I happened to figure out what to do, first.

As of the time of that conference call with the delegates last Tuesday, no one even knew that several states enacted vote binding laws. Howard Wolfson mentioned these states 4 days later, on FOX; that’s how fast the news spread. But I knew about these states back on the 13th, and notified the 3M’s. And researched the states. And wrote letters to each state. And tried to get these out through the blog. (Way to go, Georgians!)

Obviously, Ricki Lieberman – someone told her about me – liked my work, because she put it in her newsletter. And she sent it to Alegre’s Corner, who obviously liked it, because she posted it on her blog. And the people working with the delegates put this in their delegate packets.

So, the fact that I graduated from law school doesn’t help much here; it’s not like the DNC is breaking the law. But I am pretty smart. And I am the most powerful person in the democratic process because I vote. This means, if I don’t like something that is happening in my country, I just have to take the time to figure out how to fix it. And that’s what I did here.

Thank you, Lisa.

#62 StarDust on 08.25.08 at 7:58 pm

How big is the Puma presence in Denver? Is it being represented accurately? Sorry don’t watch the news anymore, and this Puma used to be – a news nut.

#63 ladyhawkke on 08.25.08 at 7:59 pm

#23 Lisa None of mine came back so far.

By the way Pumas, I will not watch the convention, I will not watch MO, I have no interest in seeing a phony convention. And by the way, that link to where everyone is staying in Denver, are we calling Pelosi, Dean and everyone and complaining?

#64 Kerri on 08.25.08 at 7:59 pm

Man..I need a t-shirt that says FUCH Obama! Just for those very angry and especially bitter days.
LOL
Alright, well I’m off to pick up Toni and head into Manhattan for the lighting ceremony. Hope to see lots of PUMA’s in Union Square..bringing lots of extra candles.
Keep up the work!

Great Job PUMAS!

Keep up the great work. I made the mistake of starting to watch the beginning of the ceremonies. I have a pounding migraine, but I’m trying to stick it through to see if anyone on the channels mention PUMA PAC. Thanks so much for everything that you are doing for people like myself that are not able to be there in person.

I have called my AG & SOS and explained exactly what you wrote; however, they are unwilling to get involved. I am continuing to e-mail the media and call my representatives. It is obvious the media and our representatives have no guts to stand up for democracy. I can pay them back by voting McCain in November.

I’ll take 9-10 PM Fox if you like (I’ll suffer the C of H and C, just for PUMA lol) I’m not sure I can handle MSM. Nauseating.

1001 things I never imagined would be coming out of my mouth (or from my fingers as it were). Fox is the only thing I can tolerate watching just about… Hannity… Darn someone already took the 8pm hr with Bill!

I think it fair to say the D*cough*P has done the impossible.

If you need me on another time/place LMK.

#97 Seattlegirl on 08.25.08 at 8:11 pm

#31 Gosuef4hil BO and his followers have been doing so much to win us PUMA’s over already! They threatened us with the loss of our reproductive rights, they called us racist, stupid, divisive, etc. They pointed out that being in DC for 20 years makes women bitter and acquire baggage but that when men serve in government for 30 years they acquire wisdom and experience. Then they had MO appear on the View and in Vogue. And they have been feeding false stories about Hillary giving up to the media as well as threatening the Hillary delegates. Oh and they have been VERY clear that when BO loses it will be Hillary’s fault. Gosh what more could they do?!

Make sure that in their contacts with state officials they stress they are not asking the state to intervene in the DNC. And that if they are unsure of the connection between the state and sponsorship for the DNC, they at least make clear to their state officials, they will study up on this connection, and stop giving the DNC, as opposed to any other party, special consideration in that state.

I’m sorry if someone already posted this, but I saw PUMAS on TV! They were yelling and they were riled up!

I saw the “HYPE” puma pac poster being held up, and many pumas wearing Hillary shirts.

One sign moved and took up the WHOLE SCREEN:

“…..Manchurian Candidate”

I think it was “save us from the manchurian candidate.” LOL!!

I saw it on Fox news about an hour ago.

Please stand up to the namby pamby whiner boy and set this country on it’s heels. And cut Bill loose while you are at it. Go nuclear Hillary. What do you have to lose? Worse case?

~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Will Bower was on the Sean Hannity radio show today and they talked about the PUMA & JSND movement.

– Will was great!

– He said many of us pumas didn’t tune in to Hannity or Fox before, but now we do!

– He said JSND/Pumas are turning down BO, and he’s voting for McCain (though some Pumas will vote third-party, stay home or write-in HRC)

– He spoke of how flawed and unjust the caucus system is, and how outrageous it is that BO got more delegates from the Idaho caucus (where he beat Hillary by 13,000) than Hillary got from the big states of Texas and Ohio combined (where she beat BO by 300,000!).

– He said that if the MSM would have fully exposed & covered the Rev. Wright story at the beginning of the Primaries, Hillary would be the nominee.

TOPIC: HI EVERYONE FROM DENVER

My Beautiful Puma friends,
I so miss you all. We are making a huge impact here with our signs, media interviews, presence and energy.
Today’s highlight was showing up at Central Station downtown and holding up signs & chanting.

Guess who was on the stage, can you guess? C’mon, 3 Guesses! We did not even plan this but it was…

MSNBC / Chris Matthews / K Olbermann!

Olbermann wasn’t there but Matthews was. Along w/a ton of Obama supporters but there were many, many PUMA’s with signs that said primarily
“Let the Delegates Vote!”

We also chanted this, chanted about the Caucus Frauds, chanted “Power to the People,” chanted “This is what Democracy Looks Like!!!”

I just HAD to find a laptop to tell all of you.

Please, please, keep those home fires burning.
Keep those attitudes UP.
Keep the posts to all the issues we know so well.
KNOW that we ARE making a difference and our voices, collectively, are starting to be HEARD.

GTG – XOX

#124 Seattlegirl on 08.25.08 at 8:20 pm

#193VirginiaPuma: I so concur. I read her thesis as well. Actually, with no hyperbole at all, were she in my Sophomore High School English class, she would have received an F from me, simply based on the number of grammatical and spelling errrors I found within the first 6 pages. Moreover, the thesis lacked the depth, length, and argument of even an average high school term paper.

Finished watching Pelosi give her speech. She was so nervous and lost her train of thought more than once. When she mentioned Hillary there was a loud applause.

Not so much for Barry, though. She couldn’t wait to get off the stage.

Commentators on the channel said her speech was “pure rhetoric” and “generic”. They also said her speech did nothing to sway voters to Barry.

#144 Asian4Hillary on 08.25.08 at 8:27 pm

#135 jenniforhillary on 08.25.08 at 8:25 pm

She try, but she can’t even convince herself. The sound of her voice is quite hollow, not excited but hoping it would be over soon. She knew NObama will not win in November and many of them will be voted out of office.

#145 Seattlegirl on 08.25.08 at 8:27 pm

126 You are right! I really only watch FOX now and who would have believed that a year ago. But I reflexively turn on MSNBC or CNN and it doesn’t take a minute for me to switch and I don’t see them waking up covering reality. They have their own little story and they are sticking to it. But from the looks of things PUMAs really shook up Matthews!

Here is my letter – with the revisions suggested by jbjd.

Google your Secretary of State for your state, and your Attorney General for your state.
GET THE PHONE NUMBER. Call them EARLY IN THE AM and get a fax or email address for these people where they can be reached ASAP.
Take this letter and change it for your state.
FAX or EMAIL it to the attorney general and secretary of state EARLY TOMORROW!!

Dear Attorney General Patrick Lynch,

Subject: Objections to Special Status Granted to the Democratic Party on RI State Ballots

I am writing to you to protest the state of Rhode Island allowing the Democratic party access to our state election ballots.

I understand that state officials cannot intervene in the internal operations of any political party. I want to make clear that this is not what I am asking you to do. Rather, I am putting you on notice, that if the DNC refuses to hold a bona fide floor vote on the nomination, I will work diligently to revoke the special status that our state laws grant to candidates from the Democratic Party to get on the ballot.

We spend taxpayer money for elections that are fair and honest, and support the will of the people. The DNC has shown through it’s nomination of a candidate by fiat, that they are not abiding by our state’s principles. Barack Obama was given the nomination without reaching the proper number of delegates needed to secure it. The super delegates do not officially vote until the convention. Now we see that the super delegates will not be voting at all.

Furthermore, there is widespread reports and investigations of fraudulent voting irregularities in several states. In the Texas caucuses there was massive voter fraud and voter intimidation. In Oregon there were dead people voting. In Los Angeles, gang members were hired to walk neighborhoods and threaten people to vote for Obama. In some southern states there are instances being investigated of votes being sold for $20. , or in some cases, for drugs. These problems affect the results of voting in all states, Rhode Island included. (I.e. see website http://www.lynettelong.com/caucusfraud/meals_prizes/ )

I protest the spending of our state tax dollars to allow a private club such as the DNC to pick their own candidate by their own rules and run it on our state ballots. I request that the DNC not be allowed access to our state ballots without the requisite fees and petitions that the other political parties such as the Green Party or the Libertarian Party must pay and supply, unless they return to holding fair elections based upon votes of citizens.

I suggest that you notify the DNC of my intention, backed by the intention of a very large network of protestors under the aegis of PUMA PAC. I have tried to warn the Democratic Party myself, but the party is not hearing me.

#156 queen81 on 08.25.08 at 8:32 pm

Hey all!

I was so bummed this morning. Mike Gallagher was doing his radio show from Denver. He mentioned how Roland Martin had just said that Hillary supporters needed to “shut up, and get over it”. Mike asked for Hillary folks to call in…I made it into the hold section but the segment was ended before I could get on. :-(

#157 virginia.puma on 08.25.08 at 8:32 pm

Is the MSM incapable of understanding that the major reason for disunity in the Democratic party is because of fraud? The election was rigged! Again! And the American people aren’t putting up with it any more!! The DNC doesn’t want to have the usual roll call vote that their own rules call for because Hillary could (and after all that has taken place in this nomination process) probably would WIN.
NO DAMNED MORE CORRUPTION !!! No more abuse of power at the expense of the American people!!

Ann Curry and Nancy Pelosi are talking about Hillary supporters. Her speech was not very exciting.

Just before she came on Matthews & Olbermann were talking about how Pelosi was the one who was controlling the delegates in the primary and pretty much was telling them they were backing BO. Along with Howard Dean. Well the dems know who to blame when the dems lose the election. They better not blame the Clintons or I’ll never come back.

Somewhat off topic at least — not re: PUMA coverage that is:

Has anyone followed much of the Chicago/IL news lately? The latest in the Chicago Machine Political Drama: Emil Jones (that would be the Obama mentor who’s in the news already for perhaps calling a Hillary supporter an “uncle tom”–tho he says he really said a “doubting thomas”) Well anyway…. Emil Jones is suddenly retiring. first, it doesn’t sound like many are sorry to see him go. And VERY interestingly, he’s passing the torch to…. guess ….. his son Emil III. Oh joy another pol son gets a job sans oh, qualification and experience. And the cynical side of me says big EJ has conveniently made himself available for a position in an O administration…. [gag]

Will someone please wake me up from this nightmare?? Obama’s circle is like a who’s who of chicago. A fascinating web of connections.

I live the DC world (gag- Obots galore) and yes, it has its flaws. A lot of them. But how exactly is CHICAGO politics an improvement, or CHANGE?! That is beyond me.

bobram- I like the state count off on what states have been done.

good idea.
I will keep posting the letter and info periodically to help jbjd out so she doesn’t have to keep talking about it.
Yes, I used the same letter for both people, and then I sent it to all the media addresses too. I am calling tomorrow so I can see if there is a different fax or email that will go directly to the officials now that they are in Denver.

#184 Flowerchild2 on 08.25.08 at 8:42 pm

James Careville (spelling) On CNN saying that Obama has to get Hillary’s supporters votes, he has to close the deal. It’s not all about Senator Clinton doing it.

Sorry, Elaine, no mention of PUMA, but at least James got one in there for us. Praising President Carter, the President who’s administration failed so badly, it locked the dems out of the White House for 12 long years. Up next, Kennedy, the schemer and designer of “Let’s keep Hillary out of the White House”, and a person who committed vehicular homocide. Yep, I’m just going to raise my glass to him. NOT!! And where is President Clinton’s tribute. His tribute is an assignment from Obama to write his speech to help Obama shine. GRRRRRRR!!

IMHO, I think Hillary should do as FDR did in 1932, take it to the floor. There comes a time when you have to stand up for yourself and your constituents. I understand where everyone is coming from, that she has to do this, but I don’t agree. She has the votes, she can take the nomination and this pandering about supporting Barak Obama is sickening. She needs to support the delegates that are supporting her. I respect those delegates who have taken a firm stand and refuse to be swayed. I can imagine how her delegates feel, they have no one to lead them. Thanks for letting me rant but I’m frustrated. Need to take a calm down pill.

#207 blondlady on 08.25.08 at 8:50 pm

I can feel the frustration and disappointment of some of our people. Remember who our mascot is: While the puma is a member of the “big cats”, he is smaller than the lions and tigers, but no less deadly. He waits to make just the right move, and because of his awareness and focus, it’s almost impossible to catch a puma offguard. At the right moment, he is swift and sure, knowing just where his fangs will be the most effective. Let’s not rush to judgment over the things Hillary is doing. The Clintons are way not stupid, they know what they have to do. Hillary is not throwing us under the bus. We need to trust her.

Hubby keeps making me laugh. He says Obama would rather lose the election than have Hillary as VP. And he’s definitely afraid of Bill, because he knows how unequal the two are. He knows he could never live up to Bill’s presidential accomplishments.

Hello, PUMAs,
I asked this question on the previous thread, but no one answered me, boo hoo. Isn’t anyone questioning the reversal of the RBC regarding the seating of the full FL and MI delegation at this point in time after they initially and very vehemently voted to only seat half or at least give them half a vote? Have they given them all full votes at this point? Isn’t this blatant and biased manipulation, if it is true? I sent an email to Lou Dobbs about this.

#227 ladyhawkke on 08.25.08 at 8:56 pm

#205 BlondeLady Thanks for the pep talk. I’m still laughing at that guy on Fox an hour or so ago who said that Obama had to “de-fang the Pumas.” LOL. We are a force to be reckoned with and the empty suit will never win, that is our payback.

Subject: Strategy Memo: Obama’s Convention Bounce

TO: Interested Parties
FROM: Sarah Simmons, Director of Strategy
RE: Obama’s Convention Bounce
DATE: August 22, 2008

Monday marks the beginning of the Democratic National Convention in Denver. A combination of factors makes this particular convention historic on many levels. Democrats have just completed an incredibly compelling primary cycle that has both energized and divided the Democratic Party. Because of the unique nature of the Democratic primary, we believe Obama will receive a significant bump from his convention.

This cycle mirrors Bill Clinton’s Democratic convention in 1992: A historic 16-point bump. Barack Obama is more similarly situated to Bill Clinton in 1992 than any other candidate in recent history. Bill Clinton was a new candidate on the national scene; he was running in a “change” oriented election cycle and the economy was voters’ top issue — a dynamic he was able to capitalize on. He received a 16-point bump coming out of his convention. Obama is also a “new” candidate in a change-oriented environment. And, like Bill Clinton, he will spend the convention presenting himself as the agent of change who will fix the economy.

Obama will ride his VP bump. In addition to Obama taking advantage of the political environment, he will announce his Vice Presidential candidate late this week. This announcement typically gives a candidate a 5-point temporary bump that dissipates. However, Obama’s timing allows him to maximize his Vice Presidential bump and sustain press attention for the course of the week. He will ride the wave of an announcement from late this week (announcement expected by Saturday) through his speech on Thursday. This means that whatever bump he gains from the announcement has the potential to be lasting.

Obama will correct his underperformance with Hillary Clinton’s primary voters and emerge with a much more cohesive base. This convention gives Obama a platform to unite his base. There continues to be a divide in the Democratic base: Between 10-15% of Democrats are voting for McCain or sitting on the fence. In target states, that number is even higher, between 15-20% in many surveys. The Obama campaign knows that winning or losing in states like Ohio, Michigan and Pennsylvania depends on Obama’s ability to bring these voters home. If his convention successfully showcases Hillary Clinton and heals the wounds from the primary, he will move large groups of voters in those key places.

Obama’s stadium address on Thursday — the 45th anniversary of Rev. Martin Luther King Jr.’s “I Have A Dream” speech — will result in effusive and overwhelming press coverage. On Thursday, Obama will give a great speech, as has been his trademark. The press will sing his praises and remark on his historic address and Obama’s place in history. For example, The Associated Press today published an article comparing the historic nature of the addresses – a week before Obama’s speech. This coverage will be impenetrable and will undoubtedly impact the polls.

We believe Obama will see a significant bump, and believe it is reasonable to expect nearly a 15-point bounce out of a convention in this political environment

#239 bythelake on 08.25.08 at 8:59 pm

My question is…..

What took MO & BO so long to pay off their student loans? They paid them off 4 years ago? Why wouldn’t they have paid them off before they bought a 4 million dollar house?

This just points that this has been in the works since last election. Hillary has been nothing more than a pawn that rose to the top.

The DNC NEVER expected her to do so well.

They never expected that Americans truly love her.

Now, they are pulling the carpet out from under her feet and I’m MAD AS HELL!

#245 ladyhawkke on 08.25.08 at 9:01 pm

#232 Queen81 I agree with you but McCain did it too. Ate sh** with Bush and now he’s the nominee. If it weren’t for Hillary, he would be way down in the polls, he should be paying her back big time for the bump she gave him. I don’t know what I would do in Hillary’s place but I have an “A” personality and I probably would have told them off by now. Also, after O gave his race speech, she should have called the press and given a speech on women’s rights.

correct, but they also explained our cause and our stance.

Our message is LOUD & CLEAR. This primary was a complete fraud and the entire convention will be about unity and winning us over! They say that we represent 15% which is what BO needs to win.

Clinton Supporters Sport ‘300′ Buttons
Laura Meckler reports from Denver on the Democratic National Convention.

Scattered across the convention floor are 600 delegates with small green buttons that say “300” and mean much more. They were distributed today to delegates who signed the petition calling for Hillary Clinton’s name to be put into nomination. They needed 300 names and collected twice that. Barack Obama agreed, and her name will indeed be put forward.

Each delegate who signed received a card with his or her name and what number the person represented on the petition. The cards also included this optimistic message: “…Making what appears to be impossible possible.”

“Number 95,” Neil Emmons of Dallas said, introducing himself to a fellow Clinton supporter.

“I was No. 28,” said Helene Ratner of Langhorne, Pa., who was distributing the pins to others in the Pennsylvania delegation. She is hoping that she has the chance to cast her vote for Clinton. The current plan is for a full roll call vote but some are considering only a partial roll call where only some states get to vote.

“I have an obligation as a delegate,” she said. “I signed on to represent her. The people at home voted for me to vote for Sen. Clinton.”

#263 Rabblerouser on 08.25.08 at 9:08 pm

Well, my hour with CNN is up – gotta go let out the dogs…not much except blah blah blah and rah rah rah for Obama. Doesn’t seem like there are any Hillary delegates there at all – did the DNC bind and gag them and put them in a back room somewhere? I remember lots of other conventions where there were signs waving for everyone who ran in the primary – you’d see this one’s delegates and that one’s delegates…This looks more like the old Soviet Union – one candidate and you either vote for him, or die…

Oh, as I speak I’m wrong – there are a whole bunch of people holding Kennedy signs. Not one Hillary sign but lots of Kennedy signs.

I think people should really think long and hard about voting for the Dems. Do they really deserve the White House?????

#264 NP4HilARee on 08.25.08 at 9:08 pm

they can say what they will.
We are more than uncomfortable with this inexperienced petty punk being our president. The fact that he knows how to point his chin by practicing hours in front of the mirror has no bearing on this election

Colmes talking about McCain support from Hillary. They are saying that it’s overblown. Colmes says he gets lots of emails.
TM is saying well maybe you get 90 or 100 emails but….

Basically blowing the folks off. Colmes keeps coming back to it actually re: 18 million. TM keeps saying that they’ll do it on the floor. There will be a unanimous roll call for O and unity blah blah blah blah….

#278 virginia.puma on 08.25.08 at 9:14 pm

Still Hannity. Nicole Walace. The people who voted for Hillary supported her because they knew she was ready on day one. Colmes is a piece of phelm. Hillary supporters care alot about our National Security. Obama has to answer which part of the American dream he is offended by.

#279 blondlady on 08.25.08 at 9:15 pm

Watching Hannity, he’s turning out to be a real peach. Why do they keep asking what does BO have to do to bring in those disgruntled Hillary supporters? He can’t, not this year anyway. The man doesn’t have the experience needed, and he’s shown in the campaign that he gives way to pressure and will flip-flop. A confident person doesn’t do that. And personally, I’m still stinging from that remark he make a couple of weeks ago calling us “those people” and how he doesn’t pay any attention to us. So, if he sees us as non-existent, why is he worried about who we’re going to vote for? Not going to happen for him! Not in this household. McCain is clearly the best second choice.

#263 sorry- tying so fast. McCain support from Hillary SUPPORTERS.

Now they’re interviewing someone from the McCain campaign. “her supporters are divided”

Hannity- Cheap shots on homes issue. Points that they never brought this up with Kerry or Kennedy. “Obama needs to explain [soon] what part of the American dream he’s offended by”
Mentions of Rezko and the housing ads. “Open season on Cindy”

“With Biden, Obama hung a neon sign above his head saying ‘I’m not ready’”

#283 NewOrleansPuma on 08.25.08 at 9:16 pm

Terry McCauliff is a political prostitute like the rest of them. He is living in his head….We are all united…Hannity mentions Puma…and McCauliff says 800 or 900 emails … we are united…

#303 lisa on 08.25.08 at 9:21 pm

@@@@@PROWL@@@@@@@@@@

Here is the letter to send to your state’s Attorney General and Secretary of State. You can google their addresses and phone numbers online. I suggest calling their office EARLY in the morning, and finding out if there is an email or fax number that will actually reach them in Denver and send it straight there.

Patrick Lynch
Office of the Attorney General
150 South Main Street
Providence, Rhode Island 02903

Dear Attorney General Patrick Lynch,

Subject: Objections to Special Status Granted to the Democratic Party on RI State Ballots

I am writing to you to protest the state of Rhode Island allowing the Democratic party access to our state election ballots.

I understand that state officials cannot intervene in the internal operations of any political party. I want to make clear that this is not what I am asking you to do. Rather, I am putting you on notice, that if the DNC refuses to hold a bona fide floor vote on the nomination, I will work diligently to revoke the special status that our state laws grant to candidates from the Democratic Party to get on the ballot.

We spend taxpayer money for elections that are fair and honest, and support the will of the people. The DNC has shown through it’s nomination of a candidate by fiat, that they are not abiding by our state’s principles. Barack Obama was given the nomination without reaching the proper number of delegates needed to secure it. The super delegates do not officially vote until the convention. Now we see that the super delegates will not be voting at all.

Furthermore, there is widespread reports and investigations of fraudulent voting irregularities in several states. In the Texas caucuses there was massive voter fraud and voter intimidation. In Oregon there were dead people voting. In Los Angeles, gang members were hired to walk neighborhoods and threaten people to vote for Obama. In some southern states there are instances being investigated of votes being sold for $20. , or in some cases, for drugs. These problems affect the results of voting in all states, Rhode Island included. (I.e. see website http://www.lynettelong.com/caucusfraud/meals_prizes/ )

I protest the spending of our state tax dollars to allow a private club such as the DNC to pick their own candidate in violation of even their own rules, and run that candidate on our state ballots. I assure you, I intend to work to amend our state laws so that from now on DNC will not be allowed access to our state ballots without the requisite fees and petitions that the other political parties such as the Green Party or the Libertarian Party must pay and supply, unless they return to holding fair elections based upon votes of citizens.

I suggest that you notify the DNC of my intention, backed by the intention of a very large network of protestors under the aegis of PUMA PAC. I have tried to warn the Democratic Party myself, but the party is not hearing me.

Sincerely,
Lisa

Portsmouth, Rhode Island
PUMA PAC member

http://elections.foxnews.com/2008/08/25/clinton-activists-hang-on-to-nomination-dreams/

By Caitlin Dean

DENVER — Even though Hillary Clinton’s supporters know she won’t be the Democratic presidential nominee this year, many groups of discontented Clinton backers are rallying at the Democratic National Convention to show they haven’t given up on the dream.

Groups such as PUMA, Just Say No Deal, 18 Million Voices and The Denver Group are among dozens that continue to support Clinton despite Barack Obama’s coming nomination acceptance speech on Thursday.

Delegates and others attending the Denver convention have already seen marches and rallies citywide as die-hard Clinton supporters make a final thrust at securing the far-fetched prize. 18 Million Voices was expected to host a march on Tuesday to advocate women’s rights and celebrate Clinton’s achievements. The Denver Group, funds permitting, is running commercials on Denver television stations through the official roll call on Thursday.

Some of these groups, such as Just Say No Deal, have not directly endorsed Clinton, but say they want to see the New York senator have a last shot at winning the nomination. The Denver Group, for example, objects to the coronation ceremony that has become the modern convention week and is calling for an open convention in which Clinton gets a “genuine roll call vote” rather than a symbolic gesture.

Other individuals who previously supported Clinton have formed loose-knit collectives with the aim of promoting Republican candidate John McCain as the alternative to Obama in November. Clintons4McCain says the democratic process means government should be “one of the people for the people and by the people not ‘of the party for the party and by the party.’”

“We Are Volunteers Dedicated to Bringing You The Real Barack H. Obama, And We Are NOT GOP Spies,” the group’s Web site says.

Some women’s groups have opted not to support Obama, saying Clinton’s historic campaign has brought change to the political world and women need to carry that progress further.

Obama said last week that he recognizes Clinton’s supporters have worked hard and want her to get recognition at the convention. His campaign has worked with Clinton’s advisers to tamp down speculation that the two sides are uncooperative and harbor ill will.

Obama’s 143 Days of Senate Experience
by Cheri Jacobus
posted 5/5/08 on GOP USA site

“From the time Barack Obama was sworn in as a United State Senator, to the time he announced he was forming a Presidential exploratory committee, he logged 143 days of experience in the Senate. That’s how many days the Senate was actually in session and working.

After 143 days of work experience, Obama believed he was ready to be Commander In Chief, Leader of the Free World, and fill the shoes of Abraham Lincoln, FDR, JFK and Ronald Reagan.

143 days — I keep leftovers in my refrigerator longer than that.”

yes, just change the letter for your state and google the secretary of state CA and the attorney general CA.

It is important that most of these guys get these letters WHILE THEY are in Denver and before the “roll call”. Hopefully they will all march over to Dean and go “hey, you are going to make a whole mess of work for us with these angry people fighting the state rules. Just give her the dang vote.”

Rachael Madow (MSNBC) said Hillary supporters will come around by November because it is post rational for women to vote for McCain since he doesn’t support abortion rights.

So I guess all women think that abortion rights are the only important issue in the election then Rachael. And why would a lesbian think abortion rights are the most important issue? But anyway if we don’t agree we are stupid.

more lines you could use…

I assure you, I will work to change election laws in our state that favor candidate of the Democratic Party to compete in the primaries and get onto the ballot.

As far as I’m concerned, stealing a primary is stealing an election. And I don’t want to pay for that.

Senator Kennedy talking… He said something about being here to help ‘Senator Obama be elected President of the United States!’ And the applause was luke-warm, at best. Wow. Watch them fill the convention hall with plants who will ramp up the applause next time.

Uncle Teddy himself is speaking. Passing the torch. New generation. Obama. Together. Change. He will be there in January on the Senate floor when they begin… *insert cheer and “TED-DY” chants* Oh here we go. Hope. New hope. This is the cause of his life. Break gridlock. North south east west young old will get decent health care. I guess the midwest can fend for itself ;) BO will close the book on the old politics of race, gender, group v group, straight v gay, will be a CinC who believe that young men in uniform must never be committed to a mistake…” Ho boy. We’re covering the bases. Hope, Change, New Generation, War Was a Mistake, oh here we go now! JFK and the moon. We are all Americans. We reach the moon. Scale the heights. …. blah blah blah we can do it again. Blah renewal blah blah this novemba the torch country something obama cause hope rises again dream lives on.

#389 KENDALBLUE on 08.25.08 at 9:47 pm

Hello Hill Fans,

Yesterday was an amazing day with interviews with the press all day. The international press was all over Nancy, from San Diego, and myself, as we strolled down the 16th St. mall with our Hillary signs. I will now be world famous, or infamous, and everyone will know that Kathy Skerl will vote for John McCain if Obama gets the n omination. I handed our some of our videos, including Reuters, LA Times, and…gosh a few more I can’t remember.

Last night I went to see the premier showing of the Audacity of Democracy. I met Will Bowers, Diane M from the Just Say No Deal Coalition, Darraugh, etc. The film was about 40 minutes; it is not done yet…focused on the Texas Primaries. And they had good food.

After the film I once again urged everyone to get out on the 16th St. mall with their Hillary gear and march on down to the MSNBC/NBC location for a protest. Guess what!! we did it today! Did anyone watch Chris Matthews? That was us shouting in the background…PUMA! Sexist! Hillary! We stayed quite a while and the Obama supporters got testy. It was a really great march and demonstration….we heard Matthews dissed us and Jack Cafferty called us Hillerybillies. At least they know that Hillary fans are hear.

There are many rumors about what is going on with the delegate count. Even the delegates don’t know. It is impossible to know what the truth is…al ot is disinformation to create chaos and it is working.

I have to go off to the Pumapac rally tonight; tomorrow is the march and risehillaryrise rally and lunch with Hillary. Then a meeting with the Denver Group in the evening. There is a lot of interest in Hillary and many s upporters here who really still want her to get the nod. I have talked to many Hillary delegates and they are planning on voting for her even if she releases them and asks them not too…they are with us and when they see her supporters out they are so happy. While marching down 16th st today with the protest, two Hillary delegates standing on the s idewalk, shook my hand and said thank you.

Go Hillary!

Kathy

#394 lisa on 08.25.08 at 9:48 pm

The Prowl on #298:

My understanding is that to make this have the desired effect- we have to get a good portion of these letters to the intended recipients like TOMORROW. The response we want is for these officials to groan and go “oh no… these dang PUMAS are going to wreak havoc on my office for the next 3 months if Hillary doesn’t get her roll call vote”, and they are going to march right over to Coward Dean and say “look, we don’t want to deal with this. this is YOUR fault, now GIVE HER HER VOTE”.

so let’s get it done and do it ASAP, and go to the media and send it to them too!

Candle lighting tonight:

Mountain: 9:45
Central 10:45
Eastern 11:45

Here’s the description of the event:

CHEESMAN PARK – East 8th Avenue
4:00 p.m. – 10:00 p.m. – Beautiful Protest and Rise
MEDIA AND DELEGATES WELCOME.
A Celebration of Hillary Clinton’s Historic Presidential Campaign! What makes this historical event special? It’s not just because it’s named after Maya Angelou’s famous poem “Rise,” but that it will also close with the lighting of candles to pay tribute to Hillary and all of her achievements, while also symbolically reigniting the flame of America’s great Democracy and Lady Liberty’s torch. Candles will Rise as participants at Cheesman Park and communities across the nation will recognize Senator Clinton’s achievements in one harmonious gesture of celebration. This will be a marvelous opportunity for those who worked on Hillary’s behalf and her supporters as well as all who believe in and appreciate our Liberty and Democracy to come together and enjoy an afternoon and evening of festivities. This is a free event; all Hillary supporters/fans are welcome. Puma Pac activities begin at 4:00 p.m. and end at 6:00 p.m. The Rise 2008 takes over at 6:00 p.m. Speakers and entertainment begin at 7 p.m.. The festivities will end with the national “RISE” candle salute to Hillary, Democracy and Lady Liberty at precisely 9:45 MDT.

I was just watchin cnn. Seems that Obamas team is running around getting signatures to place both Obama and Hillary as well as Biden in nomination. Brazille said that this effort is being carried out by Obamas staff. Making it appear that Obamas camp is the one getting Hilary in nomination.
Also they mentioned that Hillary will stop the roll call vote and call for Obama to be declared the nominee by acclimation.

The McCain Campaign is keeping busy. The Gov. of Texas, like him or hate him sent this email out today. I would luvvvv to see him and the “Princeton Goddess” go at it. You would have to know Perry’s background to appreciate the humor.
********************************************

Dear Fellow Texan:

With less than 1 week to go before we officially nominate John McCain at the Republican National Convention in Minneapolis, I’m writing you today to urge you to do your part to help elect John McCain as our next President of the United States. The race is in a dead heat and the work you and I do today will have a tremendous effect on the outcome of this election.

The differences between John McCain and Senator Barack Obama are clear and the voters in the great state of Texas will have a clear choice to make on Election Day. Simply put, John McCain is prepared to lead our country as the next president and Senator Obama is not ready to lead.

But John McCain won’t win in November without Texas and that’s why I write to you today. Will you support the McCain campaign by making a contribution right away of $25 or more? August is the last month the campaign can accept primary contribution dollars, so it is critical for you to give right away.

John McCain stands on the right side of the issues that matter to you. To make America less dependent on foreign oil, John McCain is in favor of increasing domestic drilling, while Senator Obama wants you to properly inflate your tires instead of drilling for more oil.

John McCain is against raising your taxes, and he wants to keep current tax rates low, and cut others, not because he wants to make the rich richer, but because he knows keeping taxes low not only keeps jobs in America but it helps to create new ones. Senator Obama says he will raise taxes only on the rich but in the Senate, he voted for tax hikes that would have impacted those taking home just $42,000 a year. He has proposed tax increases on income taxes, capital gains taxes, dividend taxes, estate taxes, and Social Security taxes. All of these tax increases are the fine print under his slogans, and they add up to more than a trillion dollars in new taxes over the next decade.

Senator Obama may be great at delivering a speech, but the policies he is proposing will cripple our state. We can’t afford to stand idly by and allow him to be elected as our next president.

That’s why your support is needed today. We each need to do everything we can, right now, to elect John McCain- before it’s too late. Please follow this link to make a generous donation of $25, $50, $100, $250, $500, $1,000 or even $2,300 to ensure we have the resources necessary to win.

Thank you for your time and support. Let’s show John McCain that Texas stands firmly in his corner!

Sincerely,

Governor Rick Perry

P.S. Friends, with each passing day, it becomes more clear that Senator Barack Obama is not prepared to lead our country as president. But the polls continue to show this will be a close election. Everything you and I do today will go a long way in building a base for the fall campaign.

#452 jenniforhillary on 08.25.08 at 10:05 pm

OKAY Peeps, I’ve done heard it all. Alex C. just said on CNN that BO got the most IMPORTANT gift of his career when T. Kennedy gave him the MANTLE of POWER from the Kennedy Klan. Now, according to Alex C., it will be almost impossible for the CLINTONS to cause a problem….

Interesting–
Back to Colmes, with Wexler. C asked W what are they doing re: Hillary supporters, in particular? And what does Obama need to do [to gain support]
Wexler: O needs to talk about social security, RVW (surprise surprise) equal pay. back to generic blubbering about HC/BO have same vision for America

Hehehehehe this was followed by McCain’s ad of Hillary getting passed over as VP.

Seems like H&C are trying to keep the focus on Hillary supporters and the dis-unity, and those they are interviewing are trying to dodge it.

Oh yes, Sean, I am EAGERLY awaiting Michelle’s speech. I just hope hope hope the she’s-pregnant rumor isn’t true. Wouldn’t that be *soooooo* convenient.

Next up Karl Rove

FOX: Just reported that “floor whips” are on the floor going from delegation to delegation “warning” delegates that a petition will be circulated for Hillary, and telling everyone that when and if it gets to New York for endorsement, Hillary herself will suspend it and endorse Obama at that point.

Does anyone think she would do that to her supporters, after she sees all the support in Denver??

tomorrow night will let Clinton get some votes but wrap things up with an unanimous call for support for Obama – the anger is palpable.

The deal, however, gets around a tricky problem – keeping Clinton from getting too close to Obama in a delegate vote, or from being weakened by having her considerable posse of delegates do a complete 180 for Obama.

She also said she wouldn’t tell her delegates how to vote, other than saying she herself will vote for Obama.

The tensions made even the most placid pols testy.

#468 lisa on 08.25.08 at 10:09 pm

Okay… I have a WITCH PROWL for you all!

(because, as they say in Practical Magic, “there is a little witch in all of us”) (or a little B@tch… whichever!)

If that upsets you or freaks you out any, then it’s really just a visualization exercise so calm down.

First, go turn off your tv. (do it during Michelle’s speech is my suggestion)

then, sit down on your couch and close your eyes. Imagine it is the moment of the roll call vote. Your tv is on. No one knows what is going to happen. You see Dean up there, and hear the states start to call out. Mayhem ensues. States start defiantly shouting out for SENATOR HILLARY CLINTON!! The announcers are shocked and all atwitter. The din of the crowd is so loud it is hard to tell what is happening.

YOU LEAP UP FROM THE COUCH! (really… go ahead and do it) You GASP! Tears come to your eyes! you start jumping up and down and shrieking! (really, know try to actually pretend it is happening and act it out as if it is real). She has WON THE NOMINATION!

Point being: if we can imagine it in our minds, we can materialize it. Make it as real as you can.

With all due respect to Sen. Kennedy (due to the fact that he is ill) his presence at the Convention on the first night indicates that the Democratic Party is doing things as they have done in previous elections (which they lost: Kerry, Gore). BO is just a different face on the same old party politics.

BO’S SIGNATURE GATHERING TO GET HRC ONTO THE NOMINATING BALLOT, DECONSTRUCTED

This is so funny. You know what happened? These idiots. You know how there are a few ways to get your name into nomination, according to the DNC Call to the Convention? Well, I will bet this is what happened.

HRC only was able to get into nomination because behind the scenes, grass roots volunteers surreptitiously put together a nominating petition signed by more than 300 delegates, to get her on the ballot. Word got out HRC now had the requisite signatures and so, the DNC put out word ‘BO had decided to let HRC onto the ballot.’ Except, the only mechanism for getting her on the ballot were those signatures on the petition put together under wraps by her supporters! So now, BO has to come up with a duplicate process that makes it look like he is putting this together because 1) the DNC announced days ago that HE had agreed she should be on the nominating ballot; and 2) he didn’t want everyone else to know how much support she had.

The people of this country deserve a full roll call count…not some show that supposedly will convince us to “fall in line” – If each state doesn’t get to acknowledge and represent its voters what is the point to this extraordinarily expensive pageant…I’ll take the smoke filled rooms of the past when no one even knew who the nominee would be until the convention…this isn’t democracy- it’s grandstanding with our tax dollars…and why was it that when FL and MI were important to Hillary they were only 1/2 votes..and now suddenly they are restored…please…

http://blogs.rockymountainnews.com/rockytalklive/archives/2008/08/biggest_dnc_question_what_will.html

Biggest DNC question: What Will Hillary Do?
If it’s Barack Obama’s party, why can’t anyone quit talking about Hillary Clinton?

The presumptive nominee’s main challenger will be the featured speaker Tuesday night, she will officially release her delegates Wednesday morning, she’s said over and over the party need to unite behind Obama.

And still…

Obama supporters wonder just how enthusiastically the Senator from New York and her husband the former President will back the Democratic nominee.

The two sides reportedly have reached a deal to limit the roll-call vote for President.

Many Clinton backers said Monday they were not interested in compromise and wanted a prime-time celebration of Clinton’s nomination fight. Clinton herself said she wouldn’t tell her backers how to vote.
Democratic officials involved in the negotiations said the deal would let a few states cast votes for Clinton before a move to declare Obama the nominee by acclimation.

Still, she told supporters she would cast her own vote for Obama and said, “We were not all on the same side as Democrats, but we are now.”

The voting could perhaps end with New York, when Clinton herself would call for unanimous nomination of Obama from the convention floor, Democratic officials said. The officials spoke on condition of while the deal was being finalized.

Clinton advisors have been holding talks almost every day on the question of how to handle the issue, and they are still struggling to solve the mechanics of honoring Clinton without getting bogged down in time-consuming counting.

Obama said he isn’t involved in negotiations over the roll call and is letting campaign manager David Plouffe work out the details with the Clinton team

Think the Clintons will wind up fully on board the Obama campaign? Think Obama needs them to be?

#502 Headclunker on 08.25.08 at 10:18 pm

#504 58states1 on 08.25.08 at 10:18 pm

**MSNBC SITE on PUMAs**

GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR if you haven’t already seen this one. Way to dismiss us:

“”*** What PUMA-on-the-Street interviews might not tell you: Speaking of that last challenge… With so many of Hillary Clinton’s most ardent supporters in Denver, is the political press corps here in danger of over-hyping Obama’s problem with Hillary backers? Yes, our most recent NBC/WSJ poll showed that Obama has yet to win some of them over, and that (in part) explains why he hasn’t pulled away from McCain. But a brand-new Washington Post/ABC poll also had Obama getting more Clinton support than he’s ever received since she dropped out of the race back in June. No doubt Obama still has some work to do, and he has two-plus months — including this convention — to make the sale. But the point we’re trying to make is that perhaps the Dem Party is more unified than PUMA-on-the-street interviews might suggest. Indeed, today’s New York Times/CBS poll of Dem convention delegates probably has it right: 60% of Hillary’s delegates enthusiastically support Obama, 31% support him with reservations or because he’s the nominee, and 5% don’t support him at all. But the Clinton folks will have an impact on the media narrative this week. In fact, they already they have — see Ed Rendell at the media confab yesterday and today’s Politico piece by Harris and Allen.”"

Well if you read Luckseven posts at #411 :
AP said that the roll call vote would be a few states and then it would be cut off and Obama will be nominated.
and Snowtigers post at #413
Donna Brazille just signed a petition to get Hillarys name in nomination then went on to say that this effort is being carried out by the Obama staff.

#378 Lisa – So far as movie scenes go, has anybody seen that old movie “Tobacco Road?” The families are very poor, barely scratching out a living and are glad to marry off a daughter. Ward Bond is the husband and he goes to his wife’s family to appeal to them for help because she won’t come home. He says “I chunked rocks at her and tied her to a tree and she still won’t come home.” Obama and his supporters have called us every hateful and mean name they can think of, and we still won’t vote for him!

I forgot… We should copy the DNC on these letters, too. And, there is no limit to the number of letters we should send in each state. I just figured, if we wanted our voices to get through to the DNC, it would be through our state government.

Wait a minute, why can’t we also write to our federal officials? They are elected on state ballots, too.

BOTTOM LINE, OPEN FLOOR VOTE, EVERY STATE, IN ORDER…

Anyway, at some point, if the DNC gets wind they are jeopardizing having their candidates automatically on state ballots…

Well my gosh watching this clip of Michelle I see how great she is. I’ve seen the light I want BO for president now she’s wonderful. I’m convinced…..NOT.

#557 snowtiger on 08.25.08 at 10:30 pm

3530 Pink, I was thining the same thing earlier but, think about the situation.
Hillar knows , just by looking at the polls plus our responses that thaat
1 Carpathia can not win the general
2 We will never get on board
So she is starting for 2012

#568 Jeremy on 08.25.08 at 10:32 pm

Your a “mean one” Mr. Uncle Sam—Your mean, your vile, your cruel. She doesn’t need any teleprompter for that. This should be over in a couple–hey. Besides, I bet she is hungry.

#569 LivingGrace on 08.25.08 at 10:32 pm

If Blah Blah loses hopefully Dean will go back to his quack doctoring with his tail between his legs and someone with a brain will head the DNC and let Hillary do her thing.

Can’t quash the Clinton faithful

DENVER — This isn’t going to be easy.

Even as Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton, vanquished nominee, marked the opening day of the Democratic National Convention by diving headlong into her role as a top ambassador for Sen. Barack Obama, it remained far from certain that Democrats will leave town Friday much more unified than they were when they arrived Monday.

Polls continue to show that as many as one of four Clinton supporters don’t plan to vote for Obama for president, and several pro-Clinton groups, including 18 Million Voices, are planning a march and rally in downtown Denver today. Hillary Clinton buttons are nearly as popular as Obama-wear among delegates and party activists here.

“I’d love to think that Hillary supporters will be able to support Obama without hesitation, but for a lot of Hillary supporters I’ve heard, they’re very reluctant,” said Tyler Clendenin, 27, a web developer from Tampa and a member of the convention rules committee who wore both Clinton and Obama buttons.

At a gathering of the Clinton-friendly National Hispanic Caucus Monday morning, Clinton warned that Sen. John McCain and the Republican Party were trying to exploit the rift “to divide us, divert us from what’s really at stake.”

Indeed, McCain campaign workers passed out flyers downtown Monday inviting people to a “Happy Hour for Hillary” at a local cafe.

His campaign also began airing a TV spot that features a woman named Debra Bartoshevich saying she is a “proud Hillary Clinton Democrat” who plans to back McCain because “now he’s the one with experience and judgment.”

“A lot of Democrats will vote McCain,” she says in the ad. “It’s okay, really.”

As the convention opened with the theme “One Nation,” Clinton and other top Democrats were making the rounds among delegates to convince them that no, it’s not okay. Clinton is scheduled to address the convention tonight, when she’ll make a prime-time pitch for unity.

On Wednesday, Clinton will hold a meeting with her delegates (whose number nearly equals that of Obama), where she is likely to release them so they can pledge their support for Obama.

That evening, her husband, former President Bill Clinton, is scheduled to speak.

Yet even her appearances around Denver — where she’s dipping in and out of meetings with Democratic activists to preach the gospel of Obama — seemed to highlight the division, rather than the solidarity.

Consider the Hispanic Caucus meeting, where she drove the crowd wild with a surprise visit before lunch.

The members, representing Hispanics from Florida to California, drowned out her introduction with applause and chants of “Hillary! Hillary! Hillary!” and refused to sit when she launched into the reasons they should vote for the Democratic nominee: from health care to the environment, Obama would best represent their interests, not McCain.

“So I am asking you, those of you who supported me, I would be forever grateful if you work as hard for Barack Obama as you worked for me,” she said.

Cheers followed. Along with more chants of “Hillary! Hillary! Hillary!”

I heard your protest behind MSNBC this afternoon and you were loud and proud. Your noise drowned out the people on the show and they pretended that there were not that many of you, but the shots of the crowd showed that there were alot. Could see the Hillary and Pumas signs.

#609 KENDALBLUE on 08.25.08 at 10:40 pm

#611 andy85719 on 08.25.08 at 10:40 pm

Is she being preachy? Telling us how Obama will heal us.

If beauty begins on the inside, MO has GAS

#613 BrooklynNY on 08.25.08 at 10:41 pm

Sounds like she’s plagarized a old pop song from the BeeBop years to describe how she wakes up every morning and first thing she thinks about is her daughters….

Now the sob story about her father.

G-d, they’re desperate.

BS BS BS BS….

Where’s the barf bucket.

#614 PumasEatDonkeys on 08.25.08 at 10:41 pm

Woot Woot. Go PUMAs. Wish I could be there to scream in Tweety’s face. I’m not watching the convention AT ALL. Not even turning on the television this week. The only thing I’m visiting on the web are PUMA sites. Obama is going down in NOvember.

#615 58states1 on 08.25.08 at 10:41 pm

Sorry AWOL- conferring with Mom (in MA) on the happenings (including new Slowsky commercial)
I was going to boycott MsO but she convinced me to watch and count the no. of times she says “america” tho I may have to amend to add in “nation” and “country” by the sound of things. Thankfully we have thick walls. My neighbor has an O sign on his door. He seemed remotely normal too. Before. Well, the previous occupant was an elderly man and there were a lot of mothballs. Perhaps their fumes have addled the political portions of his brain? ;)

Deep breath… let’s see how much MO I can tolerate…. !

#616 wontbackdown on 08.25.08 at 10:41 pm

Don’t want to start a huge debate on this but:

You know: I was “pro choice” – until this election.

1) I am also pro-HUMAN rights and this election has me looking at all of the issues and the importance of legislature, how the candidates vote and their rational. It also made me take a hard look at abortion practices that are barbaric. Obama’s 3 votes protecting those practices – on the basis that “he wouldn’t want his daughters to be punished with a child for her mistake” did me in. (he seems to make a lot of decisions based on he and his people – rather than what is ethically, morally right.

2) Today, I am not so sure if “abortion rights” is the ONE BONE that the democratic party has been using to control my vote all these years.

I can control whether I get pregnant a hell of a lot easier than an innocent, defenseless human being can defend itself from being put to death because of my “mistake”.

This election has revealed to a whole lot of us that there is a lot wrong with our culture – and how we treat each other.

A whole lot of that can be attributed to those who have us believing that the only way we can accomplish anything meaningful in our lives is by electing them – as if they are going to represent “our values” and help us achieve our ambitions from the White House.

It’s all bullsh*t… and the day we each decide that these power-mongering politicians are not our “Pharoahs” is the day there will be a collective conscious shift on our part which ceases to encourage them to become our “Pharoahs”.

The same is true with the mainstream media. They have nothing to sell me on anymore because I am certain they have nothing of value in their own stock in trade.

Bitter? No… I’m just REAL AWAKE now! And, MO standing behind any podium preaching to me… is like waking up to another nightmare!

#617 LivingGrace on 08.25.08 at 10:42 pm

Omg, i just checked my gmail and I got mail from the DP, MO, and Bo. # of him. Ain’t I just special? Barf!!!

I’m going to have to listen to “The Four Agreements” TWICE tonight!!

#632 andy85719 on 08.25.08 at 10:44 pm

Is she not showing her true self? The one the hates America. Is she talking about “loving America” now? That makes me nauseous. She hates America. She said we are mean and have holes in our souls.

#633 monap on 08.25.08 at 10:45 pm

Anyone but me bothered by DNC emails all day asking for donations – I must have emailed them a hundred times to leave me alone – I’m now a registered Independent since May31st. Guess they can read along with not being able to count votes!!!

Loved the lukewarm reception Teddy got everytime he mentioned BO’s name – I guess the falling polls and failing careers are starting to be realized.

SOOOOOO very proud of our PUMAs on the ground in Denver. The media knows of us and I think is surprised that you guys are not old, old, old hot flashing menopausal matrons with white hair and I Like LBJ buttons! Way to go gang – someone had to save democracy and I, for one, think the fight is in very good hands.

Yeah, it’s the dullest most boring convention I’ve ever seen in my life.

It’s dead. There’s so enthusiasm, no life to it. Even the people in the audience I’ve seen earlier when they pan the audience look pretty glum.

#637 bythelake on 08.25.08 at 10:45 pm

Michelle Obama, define RESPECT.

You don’t know the meaning.

#640 jody in florida on 08.25.08 at 10:46 pm

Need to count the number of times she says “values.” Bleh. Even worse than I thought it would be.

Slap her for using Hillary’s words.

#645 hillfan4mccain on 08.25.08 at 10:47 pm

I think MO believes she is going for the presidency herself…

#646 BrooklynNY on 08.25.08 at 10:47 pm

Well, she’s not doing it for me…..People in the audience look pretty defiant. Just saw one guy with his arms folded tightly in front of him, no clapping or wooo’ing from him.

#647 shampoovta on 08.25.08 at 10:47 pm

Keep her name out of your mouth girl.

#650 Genevieve on 08.25.08 at 10:48 pm

Oh! She just praised Hillary & those 18 million cracks in the glass ceiling.

Were those genuine cheers or planned by Obamabots???

#651 LivingGrace on 08.25.08 at 10:48 pm

She loves this country….now that she’s up on the stage and wanting the WH.

#652 jody in florida on 08.25.08 at 10:48 pm

Fights dirty! Actually has the nerve to mention “Hillary Clinton” and “18 cracks in the glass ceiling.”….. “and that is why I love this country.”

GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR….

Get out the meat!!!

#653 bythelake on 08.25.08 at 10:48 pm

The ugly snarl can barely keep itself contained behind the fake smiles.

#655 notfollowinthepiedpiper on 08.25.08 at 10:49 pm

Mention of Hillary got the longest, loudest cheer so far!

Just said a NEW and improved reason why she “loves this country”

#656 bobram on 08.25.08 at 10:49 pm

if you need help with the information on where to get the Atty General contact let me know and I will research for you – thanks for your help

#660 bruce55555 on 08.25.08 at 10:50 pm

Just got home, first thing I did is tune in here to my Puma family – let the fools put on their show and be pleased with themselves, don’t worry.
We’re not the only ones seeing through them.

Hillary and Bill are way too savvy, classy, and intelligent for them.
Like the song says “there’s a time for every purpose under heaven”.
Hillary has the soul of a phoenix, I’m sure of it.
This is a bad wave that she and Bill have to ride.

Don’t fret my wonderful Puma sisters and brothers! :-)

#661 slyt2 on 08.25.08 at 10:50 pm

I am telling ya she is trying really hard to force out a tear but ah last the ice queen can’t do it for fear she will melt. She gets that voice all worked up but the tears won’t come maybe she will pinch herself.

#662 shampoovta on 08.25.08 at 10:50 pm

Some one needs to launch a missile on her right now!

#663 lisa on 08.25.08 at 10:50 pm

I can’t stop laughing. I did a double take when you said you had your brats in the freezer. I thought you meant kids.

Because Texas Tigress wants to take her clothes off and chase chickens through the yard to help Hillary, but all the rest of us have are frozen meats. So… strip down and grab those BRATS!!

#664 blondlady on 08.25.08 at 10:50 pm

OMFG…Pumas,
What have the two greatest minds in politics today just done??
Try this on for size…Hillary was taken down by the Chicago machine and it’s billionaire backers so, Bill and Hillary have just agreed to a PARTIAL roll call vote.
They know we are already furious and a partial roll call will make us livid.
They, (my friends), have just taken down the Chicago machine!!! Barak will NOT win. Game, set and match. And to think I used to hate politics.

MO’s speech is filled with cliches and sounds like a politician. She said she loves this country. She mentioned country over & over. Feigned emotion. Not very impressive.

Think he’ll nomiate Bill as a Supreme Court Justice?

#689 jbjd on 08.25.08 at 10:54 pm

What? 19 months ago we set out on this journey? Senator John Kerry picked BO to speak at the DNC convention in 2004. He didn’t just suddenly decide to run; he only announced 19 months ago he would run.

She said he could have worked on Wall Street but he went to work in the community. She did not say he had no offers on Wall Street.
And I am so sick of hearing what great parents these are. Speaking as a parent, when my son was young, I wouldn’t even let him go to the home of a friend whose family I could not guarantee would not denigrate his race; let alone bring him to temple each week to hear a whole race made fun of , in front of a rabbi who would gyrate in mockery of a former President’s sexual proclivities.

Now she praised HRC, and the18 million cracks she helped put in the glass ceiling. But she left out what she told the reporter who asked, “If HRC gets the nomination, will you vote for her?’ ‘I will have to think about that.’

I left a career in a law office to work in public service (as a VP for a hospital, earing >$325,000 a year).

He fought for equal pay in the US Senate (but he pays his own female staff less than the men…).

No matter what they call us, no matter how they dismiss us as a mere annoyance, the fact that they can’t stop referring to us is a Big Something.
You brave PUMAs who are watching the convention on TV–you have my respect. I just cannot endure the treachery and the deceit. And I cannot endure MO. And now to hear that BO is making it look like HE is behind putting her on the roll call. Look, there’s no way that could provide restitution for what they did to her–
I will take my vote where it will do the most to resurrect the Democratic Party–to another candidate.

#695 bobram on 08.25.08 at 10:55 pm

Anyone from New York want to help contact your state attorney general – might help us get the roll call if the DNC sees that we are going to each States ballot

Sorry good night everyone – can get nothing to post tonight – if I missed someone that sent me a message – could not get you an answer because of the system tonight – have fun – maybe we can continue tomorrow

Good Evening, PUMA Friends

For those of you who did not see this post last night or yesterday, here it is again, a minute by minute observance by the Denver Post. Go to:

http://www.denverpost.com/live

Also, a letter to the editor in Post yesterday.

You call that change?

by Cohen Peart on August 24, 2008 5 Comments

I had to laugh when I saw the new rundown of who will be speaking at the Democratic National Convention. Jimmy Carter, Jesse Jackson, NARAL president Nancy Keenan, Hillary Clinton, Barbara Boxer, Rahm Emanuel, Federico Peña, AFL-CIO president John Sweeney, Tom Daschle, Harry Reid, John Kerry, Richard Daley, Bill Clinton and Al Gore. That’s the change that Barack Obama has been talking about? Wow, unless the meaning of “change” is different, this looks like the same old Democratic circus performers to me!

I have sent my e-mails. I am angry at the the way some of the media coverage is trying to downplay the impact of the Hillary supporters. I heard one on the radion lying, stating that Hillary supporters lack of support for BO is not going to effect him that much. I wish I remembered his name, he used to work for Hillary. When the radion host asked him who he works for now….he stampered, stumbled….and avoided answering the question. Some of these BO followers are lying to people consistently. Guess they learned that one from the “Light”.

#745 OnlyHill on 08.25.08 at 11:04 pm

Gosh, I’m really amazed at how much respect I’ve lost for this undemocratic party. I tried to watch the convention and lasted a minute before the nausea started the gag reflex.
I found this quote by Cynthia McKinney the green party candidate over at the Democracy Now site and I think she says it all, “I’m free, in every sense of the word. I have liberated myself from the shackles of the two-party paradigm, and now I’m free to advocate the policies that I know the American people really want and that reflect their values. And it’s wonderful to be free.

If the supers don’t do their job and nominate the best candidate, Hillary Rodham Clinton, then I’m gonna be free too and go from a blue Puma to a green Puma.

The article was fairly clear that the people leaving had other business to attend to (good excuses maybe). But Murphy and friends told us upstairs or downstairs, not to believe a lot of what we’re hearing from the MSM. The media just goes with every little bit they can turn into paying news (tabloid, the whole lot of them

Hillary is being pressured to back Obama or the DNC will ruin her political career. We have to make sure that we start pushing negative items on Obama. We have to make sure we vote for McCain…I know it will be hard but we can deal with McCain for 4 years…Then we will have to start early for Clinton for 2012….

Also BO had a gaffe and daughter had to correct it , he said he was in st louis the first time and his daughter said what city are you in then he said Kansas city the second time so he could fix his mistake.

Wow all the stations are panning the convention, even CNN. Carville is furious and said they wasted the first day. But, Donna Brazile said while it might seem boring the fireworks will begin and it will be great! Apparently it was all about BO and nothing about the opposition (Bush and McCain) or the party. Even Anderson Cooper is not impressed.

Here are the details:
4:00 p.m. – 10:00 p.m. – Beautiful Protest and Rise
MEDIA AND DELEGATES WELCOME.
A Celebration of Hillary Clinton’s Historic Presidential Campaign! What makes this historical event special? It’s not just because it’s named after Maya Angelou’s famous poem “Rise,” but that it will also close with the lighting of candles to pay tribute to Hillary and all of her achievements, while also symbolically reigniting the flame of America’s great Democracy and Lady Liberty’s torch. Candles will Rise as participants at Cheesman Park and communities across the nation will recognize Senator Clinton’s achievements in one harmonious gesture of celebration. This will be a marvelous opportunity for those who worked on Hillary’s behalf and her supporters as well as all who believe in and appreciate our Liberty and Democracy to come together and enjoy an afternoon and evening of festivities. This is a free event; all Hillary supporters/fans are welcome. Puma Pac activities begin at 4:00 p.m. and end at 6:00 p.m. The Rise 2008 takes over at 6:00 p.m. Speakers and entertainment begin at 7 p.m.. The festivities will end with the national “RISE” candle salute to Hillary, Democracy and Lady Liberty at precisely 9:45 MDT.

What is embarassing is the LYING that is going on in the world. I would rather hear unpleasant truth than pretty lies. That is ONE MORE REASON it will be easy for me to vote McCain over NOBAMA.

I miss mountainsong, and Rev. Wright, Rev. Pflegger, David Shuster, Rev. Otis, BO, MO, and millions of other have said much worse. This does NOT make it right or proper, I just want to give her the opportunity to make amends…and grow.

#884 kat in your hat on 08.25.08 at 11:37 pm

I haven’t read any comments yet…

I watched the convention speeches.

Michelle’s speech was hokey and contrived, and poorly acted, and she lied about their stories.

I yelled at the TV. I even hopped around for a second or two and I cursed. I saw people tearing up, and I felt pity for them.

It was so false…such DISNEY BS, it made me want to scream.

The “Obama Show” was weak.

I am just too angry to formulate my critique in any sort of definitive way…well, maybe: FAKE! FAKE! FAKE!

#885 texassherry on 08.25.08 at 11:37 pm

Well Pumas….I watched the whole convention on KERA. The crowd was so mellow and not excited at all except when Teddy Kennedy came on and when Michele mentioned Hillary. Unfortunately Michele memorized her lines well and didn’t say anything we could use against her. Lots of lies and exaggerating going on. Pundits kept saying that the Hillary supporters would all come on board by the end of the convention. Also they said that on Wednesday that Hillary would be on the roll call and that they would let a few states vote but then Hillary would stop the vote and give her delegates to Obama for Unity of the party.

I am really mad now. Too many blogs to go back and read so I am getting a glass of wine and taking a break. I have to go to Dallas tommorrow. I am not doing anymore prowls until I hear from Murphy. If Hillary is going to stop the votes then her faithful delegates will not be able to vote for her and the petition and everything we have done to help her will be meaningless. I will watch tomorrow to make sure that is what she is doing but it looks like this whole thing is fixed. Oh and they never meantioned the protesting going on outside. They made it look as if everything went well.

John McCain is looking better all the time. I’m outta here. Good Night Pumas. Hopefully tomorrow will be better.

Nite y’all

Some interesting stuff from JMcCain for your reading if you want to:

Barack Obama’s Housing Problem

Today, Senator Barack Obama launched a desperate line of attack against John McCain. He did not attack John McCain for his positions on the issues, nor did he attack McCain for some ethical transgression. Instead, Senator Obama and his campaign attacked John McCain for having too many houses. Many would say that Barack Obama represents the height of elitism. In 2007, he made 4 million dollars, but more disturbingly he has said that rural Americans “are bitter and cling to their guns a nd religion.”

Next time Senator Barack Obama decides to attack John MccCain about houses, perhaps he should remember that he received a sweetheart deal on his home from convicted felon Tony Rezko.

To learn more about the Obama-Rezko connection, watch this video: The Obama-Rezko Connection

More on the Obama-Rezko Connection

Tony Rezko was one of Senator Barack Obama’s Biggest Fundraisers. He has raised more than $ 250,000 for Obama’s campaigns.

While Barack Obama was a law student at Harvard University, Rezko offered him a job. According to the Washington Post, the two men have stayed in touch ever since.

Senator Obama paid $ 300,000 less than the asking price for his Mansion, while Tony Rezko’s wife paid full price for a vacant lot next door on the exact same day.

New Florida Poll

According to Rasmussen, a national polling firm, John McCain is leading Barack Obama by a 48 % to 46 % margin in Florida. The poll, released on Tuesday, shows serious underlying problems for Senator Obama. While John McCain is viewed favorably by 61 % of Florida voters, Barack Obama is only rated favorably by 49 % of voters. Senator Obama’s standing in Florida is also hurt by the fact that nearly half of all voters (48 %) view him unfavorably.

To read more about the Rasmussen poll, click here: FL Poll: McCain 48 percent, Obama 46 percent

In Case You Didn’t Know

Barack Obama has called for a tax on coal and natural gas– the two largest sources of electricity in our country. In the Ilinois State Senate, Barack Obama voted to increase taxes on natural gas purchases. Today, with energy prices at historic highs, Senator Obama’s track record is completely out of touch with most Americans on this issue.

John McCain has never proposed or voted for higher energy taxes. In fact, McCain has advocated for a temporary moratorium on the federal gas tax and has a comprehensive plan to lower energy prices.

McCain Erases Obama’s Edge With Swing Voters
By David R. Sands
Washington Times
August 21, 2008

Sen. John McCain is having a very good summer, as a trio of new polls show the Republican presidential candidate pulling even with or slightly ahead of rival Sen. Barack Obama and erasing what had been the Democrat’s clear edge on appealing to swing voters and dealing with the economy.

We Can’t Tax Our Way Out Of The Entitlement Crisis
By R. Glenn Hubbard
Wall Street Journal
August 21, 2008; Page A13

Given the hearty support Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama received in Europe last month, he must have noticed the surprise and skepticism among some Germans when he asked that Europeans contribute more for defense. Many Europeans argue they cannot afford such an additional expenditure.

I’ve noticed lately there’s some tension going on here at PUMA between the die hard hillary fans who refuse to accept it that hillary has gone over to the obama side and is actively campaigning for him now… and the realists who have concluded that we are now in this battle against obama alone without hillary..

Frankly, after seeing Juan, I just want to shake him and say…if you want a AA president, put a candidate up that is qualified!!! Period. I do no give a rats a** what color Obama is. I do care that he keeps as friends questionable character who are ANTI America. He has not shown me good judgement, he has brought in Biden as a call for help, etc etc etc. If this guy was white ( i am white) I still would not vote for him. But put up a AA Hillary, or any qualified candidate…then you got my vote. It is not about color..for me it is about character. I am following Dr King’s lead here.

But so much rage, anger and resentment is going to kill us all – we have to get perspective and a handle on our emotions.

dont forget..the obamas are self-admitted ideological black nationalists and will put the interests of their race before that of others..and that’s what we DO NOT NEED in america now that the economy is falling apart and people are getting angry and hostile..anything that smacks of racial favoritism will spawn more hatred and resentment between the races

How presumptuous the whole evening was. With an aborted roll call, BO will have his undeserved acclaim.

#921 doria on 08.25.08 at 11:49 pm

Okay, I’ll be very honest. I thought Mo looked beautiful. Didn’t love the dress, but the baby rumor should be squelched. Speech was too liberal and not convincing to people who have seen the “real” her. But, when I saw Juan William’s reaction of pride and wonder…it actually made me soften up.

Clinton, Obama agree on roll call vote

By NEDRA PICKLER, Associated Press Writer 42 minutes ago

DENVER – Hillary Rodham Clinton and Barack Obama agreed Monday to limit a divisive roll call for president, giving delegates a brief but historic choice between a black man and white woman.

The deal would allow some states to cast votes for both Obama and Clinton before ending the roll call in acclamation for the Illinois senator. Clinton herself may cut off the vote and recommend unanimous nomination of Obama…….

Some Clinton delegates said they were not interested in a compromise, raising the prospect of floor demonstrations that would underscore the split between Obama and Clinton Democrats…………

An official familiar with conversations between the Obama and Clinton camps said Hillary Clinton fully realizes it would hurt her politically to be seen as anything other than 100 percent behind Obama. Bill Clinton “is not as far along” in reconciling himself to his wife’s loss, said the source, who would speak only on condition of anonymity because private conversations were involved…….

It was not clear whether there would be floor demonstrations for Clinton after her name was placed in nomination, a spectacle that could detract from Obama’s political coronation.

The animosity in Denver is not just on the Clinton side. Susan Castner, a Clinton delegate from Portland, Ore., said six people insulted her as she walked alone down the street Saturday night wearing a Clinton T-shirt, telling her to take it off and calling her a profanity.

“I know this is not coming from Barack Obama, but his supporters are helping us decide who to vote for” in November, Castner said. “I hate the feeling that you shouldn’t wear your Hillary gear unless there are two or three of you together.” ….

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, who is chairwoman of the convention, said the party must move past their primary divisions, but there should be a full roll call vote

~~~~~~~~~~~~
Questions: How much weight does “recommending unanimous nomination of Obama” carry ?

Who gets to accept or decline her recommendation?

The delegates or BO?

doria: Juan Williams has done that a few times throughout the primary season. I believe he has conflicting ideological/ political/ and intrinsical heart strings being pulled.

I was not moved at all by Michelle. Or even Ted Kennedy, I am sorry to say.

It’s partly because of my puma status. The only thing that will touch me is respect for Hillary, and even then, I will watch for a careful eye that it is not fake.

I am sincerely unhappy with my party, but it is mainly due to those who have become center stage…the losers: Jackson. Dean. Kennedy. Kerry….

The democratic party has been led by thr Clinton’s (right or wrong) for DECADES, and I think it’s their party now, and we do not have time for Kennedy revelations any longer. I fully believe that the Kennedy legacy and their reprise, their invoking of the NEXT Kennedy democrat has been so exploited, to the point of gaudy and outrageous political slapstick. JFK has been so politically diluted…I mean, it’s gross and means nothing to me. They just work his name and his image and it’s…old. It’s OLD.

And Hillary will be there for us all. Even though her time was limited in the primary, she is tougher, smarter, and much more in the know. Things happen for reasons and we just have to know that she will reign supreme in politics. Abraham Lincoln lost many times and still became one of the greatest Presidents (and he was Republican).

Got this email from a friend. Don’t know if we can get this to a youtube before it’s taken down!

All,

This is the ad that Obama is threatening stations over if they show it. It will disappear soon, so get it out there. Post it everywhere.

Anne

http://www.americanissuesproject.org/

“In fact, Obama has united America — although not quite in the way he intended.”

I haven’t seen the Ayers-Obama ad yet, but the screams of pain emanating from the camp of “The One” (also called “The Precious One”) mean that it hit a nerve. My posts on the Obama Campaign’s attempts to intimidate and smear Cristi Adkins (now protesting everything in Denver, especially MSNBC) got over 4,000 hits in two days. Yikes. Thanks to everyone in the NoBama Movement for helping ensure the defeat of “Precious.” Even if you don’t read Spanish, please visit Miriam’s site at: http://obamanova.blogspot.com. ; She’s the Spanish language coordinator for NoBama Mission. She has a beautiful blog, complete with picture of HRC. Also visit http://TalkStraight.org, the major antidote to the Obama Life Machine.

If you have something (relatively short), you want translated into Spanish, let me know, and I’ll pass it on to Miriam. Like the rest of us, she’ll be exhausted by Nov. 5 (and we get to stay up late then).

17. Barrack’s business associates, jobs he had and struggles he met becoming a Senator
18. Barrack’s lessons learned in life.
19. Barrack’s favorite teacher or any teacher that inspired him.
20. Barrack’s love of family other than her and his daughters.
21. Barrack’s relationship with her parents.
22. What her parents felt about Barrack.
23. Barrack’s childhood religious experiences.
24. Who and what molded Barrack to become the man he is today.

She was suppose to come out and tell us the life story of who Barrack Obama is. She was suppose to sell him to the middle class, middle American, Hillary suppporters and undecided voters and cross over Republicans. She was suppose to leave us with a connection that would make us consider the possibility of voting for him. She left me feeling, disconnected.

Yes the kids are cute, Michelle looked nice and she even managed to say, “That’s why I love this country.” But she could not stand still, she spoke too quickly for me, and she never once showed a tear of emotion with the story of her father’s struggle with MS. The one place I was connected to her is when she mentioned bringing their baby daughter home. Other than that her speech was talking points. If I had to grade her I would give her a C-.

I loved the Kennedy’s as usual they connect to people on an emotional level and on a Patriotic level. They make you want MORE families like them. Not perfect, not without sin, not the most beautiful looks, but they are all about loving their family and their country.

As soon as this fiasco is over I want all of you Pumas to help me convince John McCain to ask Hillary to be his VP and to make Bill our ambassador to other nations. We need to convince John to have balls of steel and just do it. If you want change it will only come with all of us pulling together. It is a win, win proposition. It will also show a threatening world that America is at last united and a more powerful nation than ever before. United we stand, divided we fall. We have four days to prowl them all.

Speaking from a male perspective on this whole how MO looked. I must say she is no Jessica Alba. I don’t find her attractive in the least and her body language? All that pointing and being bent over? Not appealing, Looked like a school teacher scolding you. Also her leaning back with that Jay Leno smile when she got applause really annoyed me.
I dont consider the whole looks thing important btw. She is mean spirited and it comes across.

#994 Elaine on 08.26.08 at 12:18 am

I lit my candle at a quarter of the hour. Then I read the poem “Arise” [951] that today’s rally was named for. Then I sang “I Am PUMA” and “May the Circle Be Unbroken.” If you haven’t seen “Iron-Jawed Angels”, it is a treat. Helps us see how we follow in footsteps of Suffragists.

Some Clinton activists have joined a group called Party Unity My Ass whose website trails the catchphrase: “We are the ones no one was expecting” — a mocking reference to Mr Obama’s line: “We are the ones we have been waiting for.”

The mood is the same among some of Mrs Clinton’s senior team who have decided to skip the convention and the annointment of Mr Obama this year, with one suggesting he did not participate in “cults” while another privately tells friends that, without her as the nominee, the Republicans are set to keep the White House.

It is after midnight in the East, and it is Aug. 26th. 88 years ago today, women were allowed to vote in the U.S. It took several generations of women and years of work to make it happen. They had to stop “being nice” and start confronting the Democrats for supporting them. If you have a chance to see “Iron Jawed Angels” today … you will cry … and be joyful at what women and men before us achieved. and now we carry on for the next generations …

#1015 1voice2stopcorruption on 08.26.08 at 12:30 am

If McCain would ask Hillary to be his V.P, it would be the end of the DNC Corruption. It would essentially be a win win because John and Hillary are friends, there would be true balance in power, McCain would undoubtedly win, Hillary would have a chance to run and win after the term(s).

I have always thought that if it came down to it-this is the way to stop the corruption!

If women arouse the antagonism of the Democratic Party, Democrats will oppose suffrage nationally and by states. Moreover, you must remember that the same power which has given you the vote can take it away again.

Women need not be alarmed over the danger of antagonizing the Democratic Party. The Democratic Party ought to be very much more alarmed over the danger of antagonizing women.

Hillary Clinton’s supporters fought for 2 months to get her name in nomination and a roll call vote.
Even on the plane to Hawaii, Senator Obama was still publicly fighting it. Pelosi, Dean and Brazile said “NO WAY!”
300 delegates risked party wrath to sign a petition.

But America will now see it as Obama, Pelosi, and Brazile who put Hillary’s name in nomination, and insisted on a floor vote.
And Hillary as the one who stopped it.

Why is she letting this happen???

And Kennedy “passing the torch” to Obama???
Where is Bill Clinton???? The best President the Dems have had in my lifetime, who did so much for this country??

Obama supporters are already starting to blame Bill & Hill for the Obamas defeat in November…. Obama supporters need to know their rude and disrespectful behavior directed at the Clintons and their supporters…. Many of his supporters have used reduced themselves to slinging insults and name calling and cohersion to try to rally support for Obama…. And that in it self, turns alot of possible supporters who ask for information as to Obamas credentials and thats when they are labled racist….
I’m willingh to here your insults and your name calling, that doesn’t in the slightest bit convince me to jump on your band wagon… GO PUMAS…. McCAin in November…. McCain wants our votes and he is willing to acknowledge us….

FELLOW PUMAS

I do not blog due to the fact that I must use my computer for work and must keep it very clean (security wise), but I read all the blogs daily and do all the prowls I can. I can see from the past few days that you all are as stressed as I am. Tonight I am breaking my own rules to blog because it is important to remember some things.
1 No matter how much we want to it is physically impossible to jump into the convention and shake some sense into the DNP heads
2 We must keep our cool and realize that a lot of people will be visiting out site now that Murphy and gang are increasing the entire worlds awareness of PUMA
3 Keep busy, eat right, get sleep, take care of your selves. Murphy will have a lot for us to do when she gets back. If there are no ” official prowls” do some of your own. Today I got on to my states Dem web site and found out who all the state senate and representatives were who are up for election. I am drafting each a letter and coping the State Democrate Party explaining why I will not be voting for or contributing to them this election year, basicially Obama. For one of my states one delegate, who happens to be a US Representative, I wrote her again, asked her why she did not respond to my other emails,asked her why she took money from Obama, then copied my email to her Rep rival.

So Pumas, keep the faith , keep up the good fight
Take care and be careful

This may rub many of you the wrong way tonight, but frankly I thought Michelle Obama’s speech was wonderful. I have no problem with it. I found it very grounded, heartfelt, and sincere. For the first time in a long time, it sounded like something she actually wrote herself — which she is of course completely capable of doing. I enjoyed listening to her story.

After she finished, everyone in the room at my house said, “Why doesn’t Michelle run for President?”

I thought she did a very fine job. I can’t even imagine how surreal it must be to be in her shoes tonight.

Give the woman a break.

Emil Jones is now under the bus.
http://www.suntimes.com/news/politics/obama/1125763,obamajones082508.article
Obama disavows comment; Jones issues quasi-apology
Just hours before Jones received a last-minute, pre-prime-time speaking role at the Democratic National Convention, he expressed regret to Chicago political consultant Delmarie Cobb for insulting her — after insisting earlier in the day he had no reason to apologize to her.
Cobb said Jones finally apologized during a Monday event.
“He came over, sat down. A couple of people obviously had something to do with it,” Cobb said, without elaborating. “He sat down at the table with me. He said, ‘I apologize and let’s move forward.’ I accepted his apology and said, ‘OK, we will.’ It was never my intention to continue things that would hurt Barack Obama.”
Jones, however, offered a much less apologetic version of his Monday conversation with Cobb.

I really would like to see Hillary step up. She made promises to us during her campaign. She did not lose – she won the primaries.

I wish she would stop telling us to support BO because he is a Dem. Actually, I have no idea what he is. He has no policies, he has no experience, he has no judgment, he has lied, he has cheated, he associates with criminals, and the list goes on.

Really, how much of this cr@@ do they expect us to swallow. And on top of that they tell us we are supposed to love it.

The Hillary who campaigned would never ask us to support a candidate who is out to destroy our country.

What’s up? Come home Hillary. Step up and claim what you won. We need you. This is just crazy.

#1049 YesSheCan on 08.26.08 at 1:11 am

firechief-
Here’s why she shouldn’t run for President- reposting this from below.

I expect to see “the new and improved” Michele Obama tonight, probably had major work with image consultants.

But America will remember-
1. “For the first time in my life, I’m proud of my country”
2. “I just want to rip his eyes out” talking about Bill Clinton.
3. “I’d really have to think about it, her tone” etc. when asked if she’d support Hillary
4. Her table manners at the pancake breakfast.
(Image her at a state dinner)
5. “If you can’t run your own house, how can you run the White House”-the lowest thing one woman has ever said about another in this campaign.
6. The hospital she works for tripling her salary when Obama got elected in Illinois.And not accepting people without insurance. (Why don’t I believe Obama on health care reform?)
7. Someone needs to explain why she doesn’t give Christmas or Birthday gifts to her children-I really don’t understand that.
8. Her long friendship with Bernadette Dorne.
9. Her involvement in Reverend Wright’s church, and the fact that she let her children be exposed to his hate.

#1050 snowtiger on 08.26.08 at 1:11 am

31032 Firechief,
Keep in mind this woman said she would like to claw Bil Clintons eyes out, or so other posters have said, and when asked if she would support Hillary if she won the primary she replied” I will have to think about it.”
Now does that give you a clearer view of MO?

#1051 kat in your hat on 08.26.08 at 1:11 am

#1032 firechief

Really? Even after knowing that she went throught the whole “softeness” “re-imaging” workshops?

It felt very contrived to, and poorly acted. It was so hokey to me…just fake…and corny.

I won’t give Michelle a break, ever, not when she said this:

Michelle Obama takes a shot at Hillary Clinton
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sN1qZMBE9Gc&eurl=http://investigatebarackobama.wordpress.com/61/

And THEN, I listened to THAT same exact line, that TALKING POINT for months in every single anti-Hillary blog.

It was fake tonight. I know all about her.

It’s ok to disagree.

#1052 jane-pa on 08.26.08 at 1:12 am

#1053 sharpclaws on 08.26.08 at 1:13 am

Rep. Monique Davis, D-Chicago, offered one possible solution, at least when it comes to Jones.
“I think Barack Obama would be wise to keep him locked up in the basement until the election is over,” said Davis, who, like Jones, is black.
This is what I think of Emil’s comment. People like him have been taught by Flipper and his campaign on how to deal with non Obama supporters and they just don’t know when that should stop. Apparently, Flipper and his campaign didn’t tell anyone it was now time to stop.

U of I Chicago prepares to release documents reportedly linking Obama to William Ayers
BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Monday, August 25, 2008 5:21 PM CDT

Obama’s campaign has started airing a television commercial to try to counter an ad by an outside group that focuses on the Democratic presidential candidate’s ties to Ayers.

Several news organizations, including The Associated Press, have signed up to review the records of the Chicago Annenberg Challenge, which was awarded nearly $50 million by a foundation in the 1990s to help reform city schools, UIC spokesman Mark Rosati said

1038 yesshecan

oh now come on, we weren’t actually suggesting she run for president. it was more of a ‘wow, that was a refreshingly natural speech’ sort of thing.

i have seen some very nasty things said on this blog about the spouse of the nominee , things i find startling in this day and age. call me old fashioned, but i think some have gone too far in their picking apart of michelle obama. go for the jugular on the nominee, if you wish, but i don’t see the spouses as such fair game. comments on appearance, table manners, christmas presents (or not) really have no place in this conversation, IMHO.
I realize some will disagree with me, but I am putting it out there because somebody has to say it, and last I checked, this was still a free country.

people still ought to be treated with a certain amount of respect and dignity. including spouses of candidates, even those of candidates we may not like so much.

#1062 sharpclaws on 08.26.08 at 1:21 am

jenniforhillary expressed something here earlier that has also made me nervous. It is not fathomable for me to believe that the DNC could be this blatant without also ensuring that the “FIX IS IN” in November.

If they keep the polls close like they have been, then it is extremely easy (and has been proven possible) to fix the voting machines to rig the elections.

I know no BO supporters. Friends of friends don’t know any BO supporters. AOL map shows McCain consistently winning by around 2 to 1. So how can the polls reflect an even split between BO and McCain? My worry is that the polls are being rigged now so that it won’t look out of place when they rig the vote in November.

#1063 Sunshinelvr on 08.26.08 at 1:21 am

A break from exploiting her children for political gain.

A break from trying to convince Americans that she and BO are just “regular folks”.

1050 firechief ,nobody has told you not to express your opinion.

#1066 Sunshinelvr on 08.26.08 at 1:25 am

then I guess never mind that fact that she has spent weeks practicing her natural speaking style? And has had all kinds of instructions on what to wear, how to walk and how to pause for just the right amount of time?

Absolutely – I respect your opinion. I just don’t share it. I too have seen nasty posts about her – a little too rough in my opinion. However, I have heard her say hateful things and maintain the right to state that fact. She has shown her true colors.

Also, the fact that she is out stumping for her husband absolutely puts her in the political lime light. Look what they did to Bill when he spoke for Hillary. MO has definitely been on the campaign trail for BO. She is fair game for the pundits – and for comments from us on this blog (within reason – fair and balanced!).

natural speaking style? were? She is a flipping terminator.

#1069 Sunshinelvr on 08.26.08 at 1:28 am

of course you can express your opinion, but if these things are disrespecting her , then what was all that trash talking she was doing to hillary?

#1070 ipotter on 08.26.08 at 1:28 am

It is fantastic being with other PUMAs here in Denver. When we were out and about, it was great to here people asking where they could buy Hillary gear! There are more of us than they imagine.

Of course you have a right to say anything you want to and I have a right to respectfully disagree.
I have also seen some nasty things on this blog, although far fewer than I see about Hillary Clinton on other blogs by Obama supporters.
I have never said anything “nasty” about either Michelle or Senator Obama. I have never even referred to them by any of the nicknames I hear them called here.
She put herself out there, not just as a supporter for her husband, which of course I respect her for, but she went after the Clintons. She made herself “fair game”.

And please watch the video of her at the breakfast I was referring to, not only an amazing lack of table manners, but a total disregard for her husband by sticking her arm in his face several times, while he was speaking. A “please pass the pancakes” wouldn’t be too much to ask for a future first lady.

omigawd you gusy…..! I just saw a bit of Pelozi speaking in the background behind O’Reilly (obviously a repeat of an earlier show) …..it looked as if no one was really paying attention to Negative Nancy …lol …..and O’Reilly even mentioned that the crowd was just kinda milling about and that the crowd was louder than Pelosi ….teeheeheehee

#1076 shampoovta on 08.26.08 at 1:34 am

Hay I think if the girl is hard then let her be but don’t sell me this Ken and Barby stuff. It is stinking up the room.

Man I don’t dig here and if I met her some furniture would get moved around up in hear but thats just natural. This is putrid PTA mom barf.

She isn’t even worth arguing with if this is all there is to her.

Any witch way the wind blows

marie,
i’ve been posting the link to that video for MOnths and Months all over the place!
That one, along with the one of her trash-talking Hillary because Bill had an affair saying “you can’t run the White House if you can’t run your own house”
such a disgraceful hateful woman

firechief – like I posted earlier, I did not think her speech was that bad. I do not like her any better because I felt the whole thing was a scripted show, but she did better than I thought she would.

HELLO OUR FELLOW PUMAS———

GREENFUN-BILLIEJO-SOUTHJERSEYPUMA reporting from Denver.
We arrived Sunday……on the prowl from the moment we hit town. Been talking to delegates. Everyone has been interviewed multiple times. The press is constantly following the PUMAs, people in Denver have been really great, not the dangerous confrontation we expected. Cops every where in riot gear, right across from the PUMA HQ.(But friendly and pretty hot looking cops) Today we marched downtown…long flippin’ walk with signs and chanting. Got a lot of attention and Harriet Christan(sp) was with us. Also gave Chris Mathews a lot of cr@p and chanted “sexist pig!” to him while he did the news. We have found many Hillary supporters among the crowd. We don’t have an internet wifi connection that is strong enough to read the blog nor news, nor do we have a tv in our apt. We are just living the PUMA life of rebellion, but we are really being very good PUMAs in general. It is wonderful meeting PUMAs and SouthJersey is going to try to upload some photos for you. (Billie Jo is writing this) We have constantly thought of all of you guys and have you with us at all times. We lite candles for Hillary tonight and it was beautiful.
The PUMA HQs is always packed with PUMAs from all blogs and some delegates. We keep trying to find out the delegate situation with the DNC and it’s monkey business, but never know what is just rumor. Funny thing is how many regular people here already know who PUMAs are, even our cap driver.
People and the media have seen the documentary twice so far and loved it.
We are all working as hard as we can to be visible to the media in hopes that it will pressure the delegates to step up for our girl on Wed. We are all dead tired tonight and the effects of the thin air will make a short post, but will try again tomorrow. Miss and hugs to all of you that are working so hard back at the den. You are here with us and time is short for this chapter of our quest. One more thing, not many *61 supporters expected us so they did not come prepared with Obama signs, so our Hillary signs really dominate when we confront them. All they can hold up are magazine covers with the pretender on them. Got to get some sleep now. Until tomorrow, be good to each other.
Billie Jo

Hillary Clinton overshadows Gov. Paterson at breakfast
Monday, August 25th 2008, 7:25 PM

DENVER – The “accidental governor” was accidentally overlooked Monday when New York Democrats got caught up in Hillary fever.

Gov. Paterson was supposed to address members of his home state delegation at a kickoff convention breakfast, but Sen. Clinton caused such a commotion when she entered the room that officials running the show forgot to introduce him.

Sen. Chuck Schumer was speaking when Clinton made her appearance and the crowd started to buzz. These were Clinton’s first public remarks since she arrived in Denver, and the room was packed.

The plan was for Schumer to turn the microphone over to Assembly Speaker Sheldon Silver (D-Manhattan), who was emceeing the event. The speaker would then introduce Paterson, who, in turn, would present Clinton.

Schumer jumped the gun and introduced Clinton, nearly exhausting his stable of adjectives in the process. He called her a “woman of valor,” and a “principled, courageous, hardworking, detail-oriented, compassionate and caring person.”

Clinton tried valiantly to remedy the situation at the end of her remarks by introducing Paterson, who she said is “doing an extraordinary job.” It was too late – the crowd had already started to disperse.

Paterson, who is legally blind and couldn’t see the room emptying, nevertheless sensed the crowd’s restlessness and declined to speak.

A source close to Paterson called the moment “awkward,” but insisted the governor was not angry and felt it appropriate the event ended on a high note for Clinton.

Paterson, a superdelegate, campaigned for Clinton during the primary and only switched his allegiance to Barack Obama after it was clear she had lost the campaign.

Clinton Issue Won’t Go Away for Obama
During the Democratic Party National Convention this week in Denver, Sen. Barack Obama and his supporters no doubt will talk a lot about what he will do if elected president. But the question of what Obama has not done will hang over his head during the weeks leading up to the Nov. 4 election.

Supporters of Sen. Hillary Clinton, barely defeated by Obama for the Democrat nomination for president, still are bitter, according to many reports. And why not? Obama seems to have done little to satisfy their desire for more influence in his campaign.

Sen. Joe Biden is Obama’s choice for his vice presidential running mate, it was revealed a few days ago. Clinton supporters who had hoped she would get the nod – even a symbolic offer of the second-place spot which she, naturally, would turn down – were disappointed.

Clinton herself is a professional. She will be a good soldier, speaking out strongly and loudly in favor of Obama. Her supporters expect no less.

But they also expect at least some deference from Obama – and they have not yet received it. That is a problem that will come back to haunt Obama if he does not swallow his pride and do something to pacify the Clinton supporters.
