HOLY SMOKES!
UPDATE AUGUST 29TH AT 10:52AM: JOHN MCCAIN HAS PICKED GOV. SARAH PALIN OF ALASKA AS HIS RUNNING MATE.
SO, WHO WANTS TO HAVE A BEER WITH SARAH PALIN?
Nothing on Top for Democrats.
N.O.T. For President in 2008
Puma PAC is Protesting the 2008 Election. We are Democrats who will vote for President this year in Protest. We will not support the Selected presidential nominee. Millions of us will vote John McCain as a PROTEST against the DNC and the Obama Movement. Millions will vote 3rd Party or leave the top spot BLANK. Not because we are angry or bitter or sore losers. Not because we are shrieking holdouts. We are Protesting the 2008 Election because the DNC and the Obama Movement used dirty tricks and disenfranchisement to grab the nomination.
These are the Reasons for the Puma PAC Protest of the 2008 Election
- The DNC punished the VOTERS of Florida and Michigan with DISENFRANCHISEMENT because of the actions of their elected officials. In Florida, Democratic VOTERS WERE DISENFRANCHISED because of the shenanigans of a REPUBLICAN legislature.
- The DNC CHANGED THE VOTES of 600,000 Michiganders on May 31, 2008 when it stole 4 pledged delegates from one candidate and re-pledged them to another.
- The Obama Movement PAID THE SUPERDELEGATES who endorsed Senator Obama. Crucial Super Delegates pledged their support to Obama after the Obama Movement contributed tens of thousands of dollars to them. These were Super Delegates whose constituents had voted overwhelmingly for Senator Clinton in the primaries.
- The DNC ALLOWED SEXIST BIAS TO HANDICAP THE ONLY WOMAN IN THE RACE. When Tucker Carlson said that Hillary Clinton was a CASTRATOR, the DNC WAS SILENT. When Chris Matthews said that Bill Clinton’s INFIDELITY was the ONLY REASON for Hillary Clinton’s achievements, the DNC WAS SILENT. When the MEDIA CIRCUS unleashed a sexist onslaught of criticism against Senator Clinton regarding: her laugh, her cleavage, her pants, her wrinkles, her earrings, her “bitchiness,” her emotional “instability” the DNC WAS SILENT.
- The DNC and the Obama Movement SUPPRESSED THE VOTES OF CLINTON DELEGATES at the National Convention in Denver. On August 27th, 2008 the DNC and the Obama Movement maneuvered an undemocratic and underhanded voting script to ensure that Hillary Clinton’s pledged delegates (and the 18 million votes they represented) HAD NO VOTE. Entire state delegations were brow-beaten into voting Present or Passing their votes to other states. August 27, 2008 is a day that will live in infamy for the Democratic National Committee.
If you are a Democrat and you are FED UP with the DNC and the Obama Movement’s tactics, JOIN US! We are Protesting the 2008 Election. N.O.T. for Democrats this year. NOTHING ON TOP for the Democratic Ticket in 2008. Vote for John McCain; Vote for a 3rd Party Candidate; or LEAVE IT BLANK ON TOP.
Oh, and regarding the Greatest Speech EVAH! last night, did you know that Barack Obama can RIDE HIS BIKE WITH NO HANDLEBARS?

Im first maybe?
woot!
Well, well, well, – my x sister & brother in law live in Anchorage – will call them later today – Alaska is five hours behind me here in Minnesota – that means it’s only about 3:30 am there – don’t think Nancy would appreciate a wakeup call that early – check back later
Right Murphy for what you said above.
Dem will be the future pick, now is:

Murphy – I asked yesterday about this and I don’t know if you responded or not – too many posts to read to find –
What’s happening with the doc? Will it be released before the election in November?

I agree. I’m excited just thinking about Palin as VP. It’s the shot in the arm the RNC campaign needs.
To me, it’s okay for the VP to be less experienced than the prez. I always thought of the VP slot as a stepping stone (not a babysitter’s job) … a position to get training for the big job.
That’s why I couldn’t understand the hurry for obama to be prez instead of going for VP.
If McCain picks Palin, he definitely “GETS IT” (a play on obama comment that “McCain doesn’t get it”.
OMIGOODNESS, I’m getting a tingle on my leg!

896 emme – I just saw your post…It is beautiful there – I spent almost every weekend either at Kenai or other lakes. Loved it – I would have still been there if I could have made it happen!
McCain would be wise to select a female; very smart, IMO.
Sarah Palin sounds okay to me.
EXCELLENT introduction Murphy!!
Also, talking point I think might be effective for a couple of days…
You must be an EXCELLENT person to make an excellent speech, and BO isn’t even a good person. Unless you can back it up with prior acts or a resume that speaks for itself, you’re just blowing hot air and empty words.
Empty shirt = Empty speech
I am hopeful that the bounce is a NONBOUNCE….
My post from downstairs –
Good Morning Pumas!
Hope everyone is enjoying a lovely Friday morning. I missed BO’s speech last night – not that I haven’t seen it before (if you’ve seen one – you’ve seen all of his speeches). I was doing a lot of thinking last night about these last few months, our movement, this whole process all together and of course, and most importantly the future. While many of us PUMAs will vote for McCain, a third party, write Hillary in (where it makes a difference) or simply not vote at all, I wonder if a protest is enough to send the message to our leaders. We already know (thanks to the in the tank media) that any BO loss in November will be blamed on Hillary – which could damage her chances of running in 2012 (which I don’t believe we can let happen). SO000 – here is my proposal to PUMA. Could/should we change our mission/strategy to working the various states and national DNC processes to ensure that what happened in 2008 to our candidate and our voices, never happens again. Could we outline a map of every single fraudulent, unfair and undemocratic crime that took place on the democratic process we so cherish and rely on? From there, start organized (by state?) committees that work to voice our concerns to local goverment and the DNC – grow our grassroots movement. SURE – we can still protest the election (doing one of the three things I said above), but not make that the focus. I just feel like we can accomplish so much more and draw so much more support from other PUMAs (even if those people do vote for BO by the fact that they just can bring themselves to see a Repulican in the White House). I just think we can gain so many more allies and affect real change if we use our voice to change these corrupt processes. As you know, I am a loyal PUMA and have been with and donated to Murphy from day one. I want to see our movement grow and make more REAL differences like we did in Denver (I honestly believe if we hadn’t been there – there would have not even been the short roll call there was). I can’t stress enough that I am not saying we shouldn’t each protest the election if that is our individual choice – but maybe our time, resources, voices would be better served in tackling our concerns directly with our officials and rallying support that way by asking voters to look at what happened – not because we don’t want BO or that we do want HRC – but that we want to preserve the integrity of our democratic system. I’m sorry for the lengthy ramblnig of a post and I hope I made sense so early in the AM…lord knows I have only had two cups of coffee…but it makes sense in my head. Let me know what you think?? Especially curious to know what Murphy, Mama and Maryland think.
Murphy
When you have time you have mail!
scuttlebutt is the veep will be a girl….
WHOOP THERE IT IS!!!
Once again, ONLY the leadership of Brazilla, Dean, Howie and Nancy could manage to make the Republicans look honest, smart, and PRO-WOMEN!!!
HILLICRAT FOR McCAIN!!
Hillary Clinton is my President, until she can take her seat I’ll let McCain hang out in the White House for a while….
Just brought out on Fox News… Gov. Palin is now involved in a controversy regarding the firing of her sister’s husband from the State troopers… seems her sister was involved in a nasty divorce.. and… well she got involved… doubt she is the on.. Plus, she is a first time governor… too inexperienced.
Somewhere on this blog in the past, someone looking at the stars stated that the candidate with the female VP will win…I held my breath and prayed that it would not be Hillary! God heard!
McCain in the fall and out with anyone that supported or will support *61 – either party!
NO WAY NO HOW NOBAMA…NOW OR EVER!
Well, I will sit back and wait for the announcement.
McCain will be in Pittsburgh tomorrow, I plan to be there.
People this roller coaster ride isn’t over yet … I’m starting to relax and enjoy it.
I hope everyone enjoys their day.
Have a great day Sunny!!
Jenni #10 et al, check out the update above with dwp’s new graphic. I think you’ll like it.
NO FLAGUY…
NOPE NOPE NOPE NOPE…
IF BO’s machine wins, Hillary will NEVER WIN and America as we know it will die…..
This is WAY more serious than the cult of personality, this is the end of America….

***** TO ALL THOSE WHO ARE DISCOURAGED *****
I have a thought that …it is always the case that poll numbers jump after an acceptance speech.. no need to worry, for with our help they will come down!!!
I thought of a thief with a gun in his hand and an eloquent speaking ability when I watched Obama tonight. He is trying to encourage everyone to give their freedom away because he has a gun in his hand.
He and his followers used thuggery on Hillary, on the DONC and on the American public. He stole everything he ever had put his hands on. He stole money from his supporters for the big extravaganza tonight… He stole money from his supporters to take his world tour… He steals money for the increased security around his acceptance speech from the American Public’s taxes… He stole the election in Chicago from his mentor…
He is a thief and one who steals the hearts of people… unsuspectedly is still a thief.
We must continue our business here… We must continue our prowls… We must continue to expose this fraud… We must continue with all of our fervor to make this known to the American people who love this country.
We must, for we are the ones who are fighting for the America WE love, our freedoms and our country.
Do not get discouraged …we have only been at this for 2 months now and look how much we’ve already accomplished. We must stay active… People on the news and around the world are watching us already.
Remember, we are Americans first… we are not whiners like “precious”… We will be heard, we are being heard… and we will make a difference…
I know in my heart of hearts that you all are as brave as anyone facing the gun of a thug…
JUST SAY NO DEAL… PEOPLE UNITED MEANS ACTION… HIREHEELS.COM….. DONEDEMS.COM….. ALL OF OUR COALITION WILL MAKE THE DIFFERENCE!!!
#8 1gypsy4mc – my dad wanted me to go to college there – I regret not taking him up on it – could’ve gone for free – drat. Saw the northern lights that summer at Big Lake – THAT was amazing…
LOVE IT … DanceswithPumas… You are sooooo clever and talented….
We all are , aren’t we!!!
Murphy et al, Great post! I would make one small suggestion–not only did the RBC deny full seating of the FL and MI delegations on 5/31, but they did so based upon the “rules”. Then they reneged on the “rules” when it was timely and beneficial to Obama, reversing their decision. Fox news said that Hillary won the popular vote when you include FL and MI by about 287, 000 votes. Thus the DNC deliberately manipulated the rules and ignored the voice of the people.
#14 bmw60 – “too inexperienced”?
HA! I also heard he can read the teleprompter with no assistance….
DUMBER and DUMBEST is the subtitle for Democratic Party (add evil and misogynist and crooked too) at the moment, and I just hope AMERICANS prove them wrong. We are NOT this dumb!
Part of my post from downstairs:
Also, was it my imagination or was this convention not very diverse? I didn’t watch it, so please correct me. You had BO and MO and I guess Bill Richardson gave a speech (although I didn’t know he was Hispanic until I found out from T.V.). If this is the case, that’s not good. The U.S. is no longer just Black/White. Where were Asian Americans, Latinos, and so forth? Just wondering.
Have a good day,
Lara08
I don’t like reading that people will vote for McCain out of spite…it looks childish. I continue to look at background, qualifications, and experience.
The DNC dresses up Obama with fancy suits….Hey…Isn’t that what lawyers do to their clients prior marching them into court.
21 emme – Is your Dad still there? The northern lights are beautiful!!
I am voting for McCain in protest no matter who he picks as VP. Sarah Palin would be great but Apparently Palin is still in Alaska and the announcement is suppose to happen in Ohio very soon.
on ABC a few minutes ago.
August 29, 2008 9:19 AM
ABC News’ Jan Crawford Greenburg Reports: Scratch another one from the McCain veepstakes list. Minnesota Gov. Tim Pawlenty has received a call from Sen. John McCain and has been told he’s not going to join the Republican contender on the GOP ticket.
McCain, R-Ariz., is in Dayton, Ohio, awaiting a high noon event at which the campaign has said the Republican contender will announce his running mate.
With Gov. Sarah Palin in Alaska, speculation is narrowing to a even smaller list: former Govs. Mitt Romney and Tom Ridge, and Sen. Joe Lieberman, I-Conn, the only presumed contender who is actually in the Buckeye State at this hour.
But could the wily McCain be planning a surprise for his 72nd birthday? It’s anyone’s guess (and, despite Barack Obama’s historic nomination acceptance speech last night, EVERYONE is guessing).
Stay tuned…
Friday, August 29, 2008
The Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Tracking Poll for Friday shows Barack Obama attracting 46% of the vote nationwide while John McCain earns 43%. When “leaners” are included, it’s Obama 49% and McCain 45%.
http://rasmussenreports.com/public_content/politics/election_20082/2008_presidential_election/daily_presidential_tracking_poll
There can be no one more inexperienced that *61 that is running for president! Add the lies, shady associations, caucus and voter fraud, BC questions, etc.; if McCain picked Donald Duck…I would vote for him!
#19 jenniforhillary
I understand the seriousness of the matter. Please know that I do. I’m not suggesting that we do not protest (as I said in my comment).
What I added to the protest is complementary action – working to change the failed processes and leaders that were responsible for this travesty. Simply telling voters to protest the election is not enough in my opinion. The in-the-tank Media has done a grand job of painting us as angry bitter voters (because our candidate lost). If we TACKLE the issues Murphy outline above in addition to protesting – then it makes their accusations mute. I think we can couple our protest with positive localized strategies…that’s all I’m saying.
love the graphic Dw/P. and how are you! It was so nice to meet you in Denva!
Gee, that speech was sooooooooo good last night, I’ve changed my mind & am going to vote for the guy…NOT!! No matter what he said, I could only think that he got to where he is by cheating his way & disenfranchising many. And should we be persuaded by his words or his actions? Not once did I ever hear or read of him telling anyone to cut out the sexism…not once!
Murphy, you’ve mentioned in previous blogs, but not this one that some of us will be writing Hillary in for president. I urge people to keep in mind that in many states writing-in Hillary for president is also an option. It will be a thoughtful process for many of us, I’m sure to decide what to do.
Thanks again to Murphy & all the Pumas who travelled to Denver to represent us – we were there with you in spirit!
Murphy, really good post. I just got it … duh
I’ll be back after the announcement.

TOPIC: Caucus Fraud
Will someone please REPOST this comment every day for the next 7 days. That way newcomers can see it is REAL.
~~~
Testimony: At our hotel yesterday a black woman delegate from Texas told us that she observed Caucus Fraud. She very matter-of-factly stated that at the request of the Obama campaign workers, the Obama votes and Hillary votes were separated into two lists. And very matter-of-factly added that this was done so that the Hillary votes could be thrown into the garbage.
goanderson, antifish, and I were all there and heard these words from the mouth of a Delegate. A delegate, I might add, who seemed not the least worried about it; Obama was just about to be crowned, after all…
~~~
Will someone please REPOST this comment every day for the next 7 days. That way the media & any newcomers can see it is REAL.
Not that the media will do anything about it, they slept while we invaded Iraq, after all… _but_, we can always HOPE, right Obama?? We _do_ have the audacity to hope…
#27 PA Guy – We are not voting out of spite, we are voting against right and wrong! There is no way no matter what *61 says will I vote him! Evil is evil!
It’s a sad day for America when the DNC leaders made a choice ignoring the mounting baggage with *61 to be the first party with an AA. What a sham!
Voting country before party!
#27 PA Guy – not “out of spite”, but in protest. There is a difference. I like John McCain, although I don’t agree with him on everything. He will have my vote in November. The alternative, for me, is unthinkable.
Murphy amazes me anew each day.

Hi Taggs!
Hey, please welcome a wonderful new blog to the Puma Movement, “Pumas Unleashed” by Tequilla Puma. Check out the beautiful “About” page.
Pumas Unleashed is now on the blogroll.

The Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Tracking Poll for Friday shows Barack Obama attracting 46% of the vote nationwide while John McCain earns 43%. When “leaners” are included, it’s Obama 49% and McCain 45% (see recent daily results). Sign up for a free daily e-mail update.
This is Obama’s biggest lead since late July, when he opened up a six-point advantage following his summer speech in Berlin. A separate story looks at the Obama bounce. Other data released this morning shows that Democrats are happier now than before the convention with the choice of Joe Biden as Obama’s running mate. Overall, 74% of Democrats say their convention has unified the party.
Data to be released at noon Eastern today will show the Michelle Obama is now viewed more favorably than before (Premium Members can get an advance look at the data).

#36BMW60 & 714 Hillistheone
I was a Hillary delegate to our county, district, & state conventions & personally observed cheating in our precinct caucus & attempted cheating at the county convention by the Obama campaign & delegates. At the after-caucus party for Hillary precinct captains/campaign workers, I heard many other first-hand stories of the cheating that went on to throw the caucus win to Obama. I have no doubt that many of those who participated in the cheating here travelled caucus state-to caucus state to help cheat there to change the results.
I have always loved Iowa’s first-in-the-nation caucus – it is great being able to meet & hear all the candidates & look them in the eye & ask them questions.
However, now that widespread cheating has occurred, I fear the caucus system will never be an honest way to get candidate selection accomplished & should be abolished in favor of primaries-only. In fact, I wonder if there shouldn’t be a national primary – all on one day. What do other Pumas think in these regards?
As far as primaries & other elections, we’ve got to have paper records of votes that can be verified by the voter and available for recounts. Touch-screens are a horribly easy system to cheat also.
“Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world. Indeed, it is the only thing that ever has. ” – Margaret Mead
We must remember our power!
I went to bed early last night. So, what did I miss?
Murphy can you post their links…Riverdaughter, Anglachel, and Heidi Li…so excited, I can’t remember their correct site name! Thanks!!
The buzz over Palin is taking over the media drowning out Obama speech, and all other news
Wow rumors of this Lady has started a FIRESTORM
My hope is to see a coalition. We are many groups with a common protest and hope for our Party to regain it’s honor. It is said there is strength in numbers. Obama’s campaign certainly proved that. What a mighty force we might become if the blog roll coalesced into one huge Party of resistance. Together we could accomplish what none could do alone. IMHO
I can’t imagine McCain will put somone with so little experience on the ticket. I really doubt it will be Palin.

That is a #5 on the NO!
We have a voice, never back down or lay low!
We may very well be in danger if the bots get scared AGAIN!
We will be careful but we will never hide!
We learned from the caucus fraud that once it happens it’s too late to fix it. We can’t let team Obama pull the same dirty tricks in the GE.
I’m really worried about the college kids and others voting 2x, once in their home state by absentee ballot, and again in person at their school or summer home.

MURPHY
Why does the new blog Pumas Unleashed have a anti Clinton piece by someone from Huffpo? I don’t get it but it’s early for me this morning.
Good morning Pumas,
In case you didn’t see this last night, here’s the video
Obamamini is going ballistic over:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m89m0pC_bpY
Sarah, Sarah, Sarah, Sarah, SARAH!!!!!!!
The democrats are running an inexperienced candidate for president, and look how popular he is…I hope McCain picks her, obviously inexperiece is IN this year!
Sarah Palin’s experience, though limited, is still significantly more appropriate to governing than Obama’s.
Politically, it would be clever to put Obama’s team in the position of instinctively wanting to criticize Sarah for lack of experience, thus highlighting The Messiah’s skill set as being exclusively rhetorical.
Huge game changer, imho.
CNN.com:
Sen. John McCain’s campaign has told Minnesota Gov. Tim Pawlenty he will not be the GOP vice presidential nominee in November, sources told CNN today. Meanwhile, the arrival of a private jet from Alaska at the Middleton, Ohio, airport Thursday night raised speculation that Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin would be McCain’s pick. Middleton is near Dayton, where McCain is expected to name his running mate at a rally today.
#52 YesSheCan – agree!
Our Hillary campaign person said that even though he had lived in Iowa long enough working the campaign to participate in the caucus, the Hillary campaign forbade her campaign workers from doing so. Somehow, I don’t think that Obama’s campaign had the same ethical stance.
In fact, with ’same day’ registration & party switching allowed, the buses who came in for IL were also allowed to vote (just guessing….cough, cough.) Again, has ANYONE done ANY validation of the same-day, first-time registrants to see how many are actually valid residents of the state?
Of course, there were also Republicans ( I knew two from just my rural neighborhood) who showed up to switch registration & caucus for Nobama…somehow I doubt the sincerity of their preference. And apparently this happened by the thousands also. I saw a report the next week after the caucuses where they were speaking with the county auditor in Johnson County, IA – by the Monday after the caucus, she already had over 9000 requests by people who wanted to change their party registration back from what they had changed it to on caucus night!
I spoke to a DNC member at one of the conventions to express my displeasure with how things were conducted & she said in her precinct they checked IDs because there were so many people who didn’t belong trying to same-day register & cheat the process.
Lots of problems with the process to be addressed.
54 Kelligesq~~~~ Should be shown on national television.
No, it actually negates the argument. It will be impossible to attack him on lack of experience.
For Senators and House Reps
the DNC said if their Messiah didnt win, they would still win the dem downline. We’d all fall in line (not) and even if they didnt win the presidency they would still win the house and senate.
If we are to clean out the crooks and thieves and self serving, who have been busy in congress lining their pockets with special interest money, ignoring the state of their constituents, we can’t keep voting them back in office even if they are Democrats.
those dems who fell in with Obama from the git go, vote their opponent or leave blank.
those dems who quickly jumped ship from Hillary, accepted payoffs from Obama, the Party, Dean, Pelosi, vote their opponent or leave blank
those dems who resisted the skullduggery and stuck with Hillary to the end until they were threatened by Pelosi , the DNC, Obama, Dean, vote them back into office.
Dont forget these are the superdelegates who could have changed or stopped the rigging of the nomination and theft of votes, but didnt.
these are the same congress we elected in 2006 to end the war, instead they supported a surge.
these are the same congress we elected in 2006 to impeach Bush-Cheney – instead they continued to allow the shredding of the Constitution and Bill of rights
These are the same congress we elected in 2006 to stop the spying on American citizens which is illegal, instead they passed immunity for Bush and ATT and the rest of the phone companies which partook.
And a special note to those who live in San Francisco or are constitutents of Nancy Pelosi. As one of the major powers in this coup of the people’s nominating process, If you have to vote for Mickey Mouse, get her out of congress.
Others who spearheaded this coup against the people and rigged the nominating process are:
Rahm Emanuel of Chicago
Jesse Jackson Jr. of Chicago
Richard Durbin of Chicago
Steny Hoyer of Maryland
James Clyburn of South Carolina
vote against these people . All of the above put self interest and interest of their own insider party choice before the interests of the people and legitimate election.
As more bad democrats are identified we will add them to the list.
I don’t know, miss alaska has over an 80% approval rating governer, and has dealt head on with issues like drilling and conservation…that far more exp then BO
OMG!! I am soooo excited that it might be Sarah Palin!! She is one kick-ass woman!! As a Republican voice here, I think that this would be a slam dunk for McCain. It would rally his base BIG TIME and bring in undecided women!! Yes, she may be slim on experience, BUT so is Obama!!
Woooo Hoooo, Fox is reporting that it is Palin!!!!!!!!!
Yesssssssssssssssssssssssssss!
I love the idea of Sarah Palin! It’s fantastic!!! I am thrilled!
Fox news confirmed it’s Sarah Palin and they trump abc in my opinion. Should go over well with conservatives.
Palin known as the “baracuda.”
If McCain;s pick is Sarah Palin, this is a formidable move!
I have researched her previously. One of the more telling things about her I found was the fact that after being asked early on to serve as the ED of the Alaska Commission or Board of Ethics, she accepted the job, then after a year resigned saying that the Ethics Board had no ethics…something no one in the Democratic Party did at any point in this election.
She has a very interesting combination of views on various issues. as well…Ha..what a coup if he has done this. Gues the old dude in as old in his thinking as the socialists would like people to think.
I am soooooooooooooooooooooooo happy with this pick!!!
Go McCain!!!!!!!!
NOdumbo, No How, No Way!!
I’m doing a happy dance!!! ROFL
OMG. what a mistake. if it is true they just gave it to Obama. It will send a message to voters to forget everything we said about experience.
Her husband is a tough cookie too…he has won the iron man dogseld race numerours times…way cooler then watching BO play basketball!
It is an article that appeared in Newsweek, and as such is unexpected, coming from a msm outlet. But it is AWESOME, the writer totally gets it! Please come and check it out!

Got this from another site I belong to. Really worth the read!!!!!!!!!! Especially the last half about BO!!
Just a reminder to go and vote
http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/26445098?GBT1=43001
I have read about Sarah Palin. I am excited if its her. She is tough on government corruption and intelligent about energy. Yes she is pro-life but I really like this woman. Im keeping my fingers crossed
I am back!!! IS everyone as excited as I am. PALIN!!! that will give bambi a big black eye. LMAO
Yessssssss! Fox just announced it. What a great choice! In the last hour or so the more I heard about her the more I like her! Sounds like a real 21st Century woman! Does everything. Has 5 kids, a devoted marriage, hunts, fishes, runs a whole state! LOL.
#62 Kelligesq
We have to remember that leaving the president spot blank on your ballot makes the opportunity for campaigns to commit fraud and claim that vote. Vote for somebody, don’t leave it blank.
Puma Pac blog is the best place for network news
Correction: Guess the old dude isn’t as old in his thinking as the socialists would like people to think.
G-d, I hope this news is right!!!!
I am so excited and so happy!
I am not sure of my reaction if Palin is the pick. I am unsure what she will bring to the ticket. She is younger than BO, less experienced, and I do not feel would be ready to take over is something happened to McCain.
I bet Romney was sure he had it. Will be very interested to hear what Rove says about this.
IT HAS BEEN CONFIRMED!!!
It is the AK Governor
1) Palin went up against her own party to clean up Government corruption.
Obama used corruption it to get where he is.
2) Palin hunts, fishes, snowmobile races and runs marathons
Obama shoots hoops and goes to the gym
3) Palin has worked tirelessly to untie her state from dependence upon Federal subsidies, big oil companies and lobbyists’ influence
Obama initially rans on that platform – but as WE all now know, exploits government grants, corruption, lobbyists, and his own constituents, giving political favors for campaign dollars
4) Palin is Pro-Life
We are smart enough to send a man to the moon, use sexism and masogeny, disenfranchise voters, manipulate delegates into being irresponsible representatives of their state’s voters to nominate an unqaulified man to the democratic presidential ticket, instead of a qualified woman, and convince ‘TRILLIONS’ of people that Obama is the savior of the world…
Surely the democratic party is now SLICK enough to convince ‘TRILLIONS’of people to prevent unwanted pregnancies rather than relying upon this antiquated, potentially dangerous and inhumane birth control practice. (imo)
5) While she may be against GLB Rights, she signed into state law to protect many of their rights!
——————————-
JUST BEEN CONFIRMED! JUST GOT A CHILL UP MY SPINE!
WOO HOO! SHE HAS MORE EXPERIENCE ON ACCOMPLISHING OBAMA’S FAUX PLATFORM THAN OBAMA EVER THOUGHT ABOUT – HE’S BEEN TOO BUSY RUNNING FOR SOMETHING!
TX Democrat, I wouldn’t worry too much. I am in Massachusetts and there are a half dozen people here in my office who were leaning toward Obama. 3 are not so sure now. One woman said her mother is torn because she has been voting Democrat since she could vote, but she doesn’t feel comfortable voting for Nobama!
Obama, will ruin Obama’s chances of being President not Palin. Wooo Hooo, I am very happy right now.
McCain is brilliant!!!
Good morning all, and it is a good morning. John McCain has succeeded in taking the focus off Obama’s speech and put it right on him. If he chooses Gov. Palin, I think this is the most courageous and politically saavy move I’ve ever seen. He would be sticking it right in the eye of the Democratic party and the Republican party. Obama’s speech was boring. Nothing original and stole from everyone especially Hillary. Tell you the truth, I was embarrassed to be a Democrat. The party of the underprivileged in such an audacious and expensive setting.
McCain campaigh confirms it’s Palin!
We did it showed how important woman was and dems had it and threw it away
Hey pumas its SARAH PALIN WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOooooooooooooooooooo
It’s official!! Gov. Palin is his VP choice.
This is because of us Pumas!
woooooohooooo 80 to 90 favorable rateing
( I have such trouble posting here – usually goes to one of those problem pages and have to start all over again – drat!)
McCain picking a woman veep shows good judgement and an acknowledgement to us., 54% of voters are women.
Meanwhile,
We have to start organizing by State and passing out flyers at flea markets , grocery stores and so on for those that do not use the internet, and have been uninformed of what was going on behind the scenes.
I;’ve had conversations with many of these people, just in passing and they dont know what to do – they’re democrats, they wanted Hillary, but may feel they have no choice but to vote for Obama.
we have to let them know, it’s time for us to clean out the Dem party , hold our nose and vote for McCain, or
leave the president slot blank, or write in Hillary.
We have to give them a choice other than Obama – who is a democrat like I’m a republican.

I am for a national primary. I’ve stated this before, but I wouldn’t care if my vote was videotaped, had to go through airport-type security measures, be subjected to National Guard presence, whatever it takes to secure my vote! They do that in emerging democratic nations, don’t they?
BTW, great job Murphy!!!
Palin changes everything .
I haven’t heard any offical announcement but I do believe that Palin will be it. OMG!!!!! Obama will be eating McCains dust in November.
lol want to talk about change only one not in washington and there will be a woman talking about the cracks
Looks like she has more experience that I first thought. Interesting.
I wonder what Hillary is thinking.
ROVE THINKS THIS IS BRILLIANT!
Anybody think Hillary was consulted by McCain on this? I think it’s entirely possible
McCain has been very vocal about tax breaks for oil and Palin has fought to raise taxes on oil.
Wow. Big mistake.
Good Morning Folks…
I truely believe HRC could have won the roll call, especially after her Speech. She gave in to the pressures that be and in trying to Unify the party as well as securing her place for further Democratic elections. That is why the roll call was cut short and handed over to BO.
The Speech…nothing impressive. I didn’t feel the spark of any historical connection between MLK, history being made, speech of substance. Bo’s speech was focused at White Middle America…the block of people that BO has not yet convinced. I am Af. American and I was not inspired.
The best part….his cute daughters taking in all the hoopla!
When the smoke clears….people will once again have to call the kettle black if its black. One doesn’t change deep rooted sentiments over the weekend or by one or two speeches.
I am NOT sold on the Obama Campaign’s Words….He says whatever he must say to whomever he is talking to at that moment, despite everything that was said the day before, just to win votes.
This is the calm beofre the storm…….
I am from PA, a swing state, I devoted much time to HRC campaign activities. Most of my family will vote McCain, All will definitely not vote BO. Nothing personal to BO….BUT we see through you, your wife, your associates, your corruption, your beliefs…No Way…No How…No Obama.
I am ready to start organizing.
I bet Hillary is thrilled, she is thinking 2012…woohoo!
MO throwing at tv LOL yes Bigcat we did it
“Senator O, what do you think about Senator McCain choosing a woman as his running mate for POTUS?”
O: “Uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh”
—————————–
LMAO. No wonder McCain was smirking in his ad last nite!
Happy Birthday John!
Obama’s biggest problem was experience and now it is off the table.
This is the most fabulous news I have heard in days. He is one shrewd brilliant man! Took me completely by surprise. Didn’t expect this at all. Didn’t even bother to check her out before this morning….But she is one interesting, competent, complex woman – truly a woman of the 21st Century!
just think this means 2 women in 12 Hillary you are the one!!!
And now McCain has a historic candidacy…the first repub to put a woman on a ticket!
yea!!!!!!!
This is my first post here and all I can say is this ‘this is not about me but about you, Puma, so go all out until you get to where you need to be.
May those real ‘dreams’ continue.
SARAH PALIN !! OMG !! McCain is my man.
BO disses Hillary for Biden, and McCain comes up with a woman. Young, vibrant, a mother.
The DNC are just plain dumb.
Well, the Democratic party outsmarted themselves again – bet Karl Rove is just laughing his ass off – he played Donna Brazile just like he wanted to
Sarah Palin & John McCain will pick up a lotta women –
I find it interesting,however, that now that is all anyone can talk about – evidently, Hillary was not considered a woman – the talkingheads are saying that women comprise 54% of the vote and they could make a difference in this election – well duh?!!
We coulda had Hillary –
TX democrat….she has more experience then BO and she is just the VP pick
Pumas! Pumas!
One thing with this Palin pick. If McCain only does one term, and steps down in 2012 – that means Palin will be the incumbent and if Hillary runs again – Oh My Gosh!
Can you imagine?
#107 TX Democrat
Obama is running for POTUS, not VP. There is a big difference. Palin will surely make it more palatable for our girl to win in 2012!
107 TX Democrat
No TX; Dems can’t criticize Palin’s lack of experience without bringing attention to his own.
But even so, she has proven herself much more competent and accomplished than he is; so even if they try to use that argument, Obama loses. Palin wins.
MO – better move over!!! The Baracuda is coming!
Speaker on FOX Hillary supporters have complained about women being passed over…yeah PUMAs
omg. this 52 year old feminist heart is SMILING … I swear, I’m crying !!!!! this is wonderful, wonderful news!!!
TIGRESS…. GOOOOOOOOOOD MORNING!! LMAO
Palin is a reformer!! So says some woman on Fox!
This is great! I’m liking McCain more and more every day! LOLOLOL Take THAT BO and camp!
Don’t forget folks , a Governorship IS executive experience .
TODAY IS A GOOD DAY
((((((((((((((BIG PUMA HUG))))))))))))))))
And if they bring “guns” to the fight during the run-up to the GE (as Obama warned he would) at least Sarah Palin will know how to shoot hers!!! LOL.
Dems will not criticize her experience, except when BO’s experience will be in question. Which will not happen any more.
Maybe Hillary in 2016. It’s all over for McCain. Alaska barely has a national guard. What a joke.
And she is currently under investigation. Biden will eat her up.
Brooklyn…LOL…and accurately too…she should challenge Biden to a shoot off during their debate!
I just made another donation to McCain. I am in awe at how well run his campaign is. Obama is on page two now and McCain is getting the spot light.
Incredible!
Could have 2 women running for POTUS in 2012. Wouldn’t THAT be something?!!
Just announced! It’s Sarah Palin is McCains pick for VP. I can’t express how happy I am to hear this. It makes it a lot easier for me to select McCain in November. McCain count me in for my Vote. DNC with N.O.T.
SLAM DUNK !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
B A R A C U D A!!!!
Love it!
she isnt from washington change here
It’s got to be a woman to understand woman, yeah.
What a move…brilliant…She can train, learn, inspire. Bring her youth. Biden has health issues, like Cheney. It’s pick for the future.
#113-I no longer blame the media as much as the Dem Party. If McCain wins and doesn’t deliver as Pres, Hillary can run against them and sexists will be put down. Unless Palin runs for Pres in 2012 which is unlikely.
Does anyone have what the roll call numbers were when it was ended??? Also – what did it mean when some states passed???
All you PUMAs are just wonderful. I’m about ready to have a heart attack!
By the way – Elmendorf AFB has a huge military base, and Fort Richardson has an Army base. There is a substantial National Guard in AK because they are so vulnerable to Russia!!
#127 TX Democrat
Biden’s got his own skeletons. Lots of them. Plus he’s got his disastrous behavior during the Anita Hill hearings.
I’m not worried one bit. Biden’s toast against her.
No way. Too many problems around the world. McCain is 72 and has had cancer twice. This is a desperation move. McCain just threw it away.
Cnn.com confirms:
Alaska Gov. Palin is McCain’s VP pick
Sen. John McCain has chosen Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin to be his vice-presidential candidate on the Republican ticket for the White House, CNN has learned. The 44-year-old Palin, now in her first term as governor, is a pioneering figure in Alaska, the first woman and the youngest person to hold the state’s top political job.
YOU GO MCCAIN:
LET THEM ATTACK HER ‘INEXPERIENCE’ AND WATCH THEM BRING OUT THAT SHE HAS GONE AGAINST CORRUPT REPUBLICANS! (TRY THAT DEM PARTY-YOU “LOVE” YOUR CORRUPT NOMINEE AND PARTY LEADERS – AND NOW THE WORLD WILL FIND OUT!)
LET THEM ATTACK HER WITH SEXISM (ATE YOUR OWN BUT WON’T GET AWAY WITH THAT NOW AGAINST THE REPUBS -THEY’LL DEFEND HER TO THE HILT! HA! HA! HA!)
CONGRATULATIONS AND BRAVO JOHN MCCAIN AND SARAH PALIN!
COUNT ME – A LIFETIME DEMOCRAT – IN FOR MCCAIN/PALIN 2008 !
DEMOCRATIC PARTY: YOU WILL GET WHAT YOU SO JUSTLY DESERVE!
WOOOOOOOOOOO HOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
…..A GREAT, HISTORIC DAY FOR HILLARY CLINTON……
WHO PUT A HUGE CRACK IN THE REPUBLICAN PARTY’S GLASS CEILING!
Palin won a beauty contest and she also took the girls basketball team to a CHAMPIONSHIP…..Go McCain EXCELLENT CHOICE and thanks for showing respect to WOMEN.
McCain/Palin 08……a ticket I can live with
#141 TX Democrat
4 years after, Hill will be back – this is the only way we can get Hill.
121 LibertyPuma Where the Hell were you last night !!! LOL
No ONE is talking about XO’s speech – MCCain is going to get a bigger Bump today !!! YEEEEE HAWWWWW !
Unregistering from the Dem party today.
141 TX Democrat
You are sooooooooooo wrong TX.
#127-Are you kidding?? Her enemies are complaining because she may have had a cop fired for good reason. Big deal. Not like REZKO! Hahaha!
BO must be losing it now–all these women stealing his limelight. LOL
AWESOME AWESOME AWESOME.
PUMA PUMA PUMA
WE ARE LOVED BY MCCAIN.
JOHN YOU GET MY VOTE. GO MCCAIN GO.
GO HILLARY GO
I am so happy I am jumping out of my skin! LOL.

TexasTigress…………YEEEEEEEEE HAWWWWWWWWWWWW !!!!
I bet Bo is WETTING himself over this vp pick////
what do all of you think ??
#140 Brooklyn ~
I will NEVER forget Biden’s reprehensible behavior during the Anita Hill hearings. You’re right – he has MAJOR issues that will resurface.
This was a brilliant coup!! 2012 will present a new world order where a qualified, extraordinary woman can become POTUS and Hillary will RISE!!!
Man MO must be spitting out her corn flakes this morning! I love it!
Not only did he pick a woman, but what an incredible woman he picked!
OMG OMG McCain2008
They hit it out of the Park!!!!!!!!!!!
******* THANK YOU HILLARY !!! *******
WOW PUMAS! do you realize how happy we all are this morning….been a long time for a lot of us. it’s nice to know someone was listening to us!!
#137
I agree. Palin is an excellent choice and the McCain/Palin ticket is perfect for this term, leaving the field wide open for next election. Go McCain/Palin. Hillary in ‘12
didn’t see that one coming……………..way to go McCain.
Hillary wasn’t good enough for BHO, but a woman is good enough for ole John….I am so proud of him !!
UPDATE AUGUST 29TH AT 10:52AM: JOHN MCCAIN HAS PICKED GOV. SARAH PALIN OF ALASKA AS HIS RUNNING MATE.
I knew it was going to be a woman for the Repubs. That she is also younger than BO is a double punch. As far as her “inexperience” is concerned, she is the VP choice. If BO had been the VP choice it would have been a different story. What about that strategy don’t the Dems get?
Good for the Repubs for choosing a woman! -Lara08
#147 CTKEY
My thoughts exactly — I’m so excited! What documentation do I need to bring to Town Hall?
I need to go to work, but I want to see this !!
Yelling out happy whoops out loud
WoHooooooooooooo McCain/Palin 08 !!!!!!!
Hillary 2012 !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
DARRAGH:
Love the heading today, what can I say, you & I seem to always be on the same page when it comes to communicating about PUMA. I just logged in to ask everyone to post here:
http://thecaucus.blogs.nytimes.com/2008/08/27/hillary-supporters-split/
Murphy has been a great leader and done so much for this movement, when we see flamers attacking her let’s make sure to blog back & ‘tell it like it is.’
Brooklyn:
Tell us more about the VP choice!
WOW!!! I can not wait to see her on the stage. WOOOOHOOOO
DEMOCRATS VOTE
McCAIN / PALIN
WHERE DO I GET MY NEW BUMPER STICKER
THIS IS INCREDIBLE. McCAIN IS A GOOD PERSON.
How do you get to Hillary in 2012?
I’m going to get a McCain/Palin bumper sticker and put it next to my “H” Hillary bumper sticker. This is an historic day !!!!!!!!!!!!!
MCCAIN/PALIN 2008 – IS MY PROTEST VOTE AGAINDT THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY !!!
How can BO and his camp attack her on inexperience really look who is running for President on the Dem side the most inexperienced person so far,she has got more experience on her resume then BO . I am gonna to read more about her before I whoop and yell over this pick but from what I heard on tv she sounds pretty good.
164 Lara08 @@@@@@@ she has more experience than BOZO……MUCH MORE
I am SOOOOOO Happy!!!!!!!!!!!
Thank You McCain. No wonder he was cool as a cucumber last night!!!!!!!!!!
#172 TX Democrat: Give it up.
queen81: I was more thinking that Michelle’s likely throwing a hissy fit! ;D
Sorry about the typo in my last post. I typed LOL. I meant TROLL.
OMG. I am wowed that McCain chose Sarah Palin! I’m actually a little shocked. lol.
McCain reaaly is a maverick! lol
Heart can be her music pick..
TX Deomcrat….The repubs win, BO is humiliated and Hillary runs again in 2012…And if Mccain doesn’t run again and they put Palin up, I’m ok with that because it will be a real campaign this time based on real issues and let the best woman win….I am fine with that.
TXDemocrat
Give it up. This is a brillant move. She’s tough, well rounded, not a Wash insider,has all the conservative creds she needs with their base, she’s young but has run a state, bucked the establishment there, and she is historic. Yes, McCain gets it!
What a move!!!! Now things should get interesting. Stole the big show.
really*
omg….you guys, we have a treat!!!
A woman VP in 08, and Hillary in 2012!
WOOOOOOOO
slyt2 you don’t get it. they don’t have to attack her experience. it is a moot point now. off the table in this election. they just solved obama’s biggest problem. experience is a non-issue on both sides.
well good for everyone. either way it will be hillary in the white house eventually.
What a coup for McCain! Bravo, Sir!
If he wins, historians will mark 8/29/08 as the day the deciding blow was delivered.
#184. You said it all. I am overjoyed, and to think, with a republican!
Pumas, have not had such a good day for a while, very excited for the new choice we are facing in 08. in 12, Hill will be back with true platform change, YES. Hill did, yes she will.
#155 LizzyinCT
Right on. Wait until those transcripts are released! Chuck Todd is going Goo Goo!!
TOPIC: Denver
Been thinking about my experiences being in Denver and how it has affected my “PUMA-ness,” lol.
What it has done for me, personally, is amped up my loyalty to PUMA, and my determination to make change happen. I was sooo depressed yesterday and so washed out from crying & lack of sleep. Got home yesterday afternoon, went from the airport to the market to buy groceries for the kids, grabbed some Obama fliers and away I went. I did not skip a beat.
As for today? Aaahh…today is another great day to be a PUMA!
#169 hillstheone
Gov. of Alaska, born in ‘64, mother of 5 children, youngest – just recently born has Down’s syndrome, devoted wife (her and her husband just recently reconfirmered their vows). A hunter, fisher, reformer in the Rep Party, beauty queen winner, former professional sportscaster, very popular in AK, pro-life, (check post above about the society she belongs to re: being pro-life and helping women prevent unwanted pregnancies and helping when they do go through with a pregnancy).
She is a true 21st Century woman. Does it all!
She could probably beat BO at one on one in basketball.
#141 TX Democrat – The Democrats threw it away. Too bad.
CNN and MSNBC are already pulling her apart – that she is under investigation, etc. Don’t they think that McCain has vetted her and knows the true details?
#176 I agree.
You know, if McCain/Palin win there will be a woman in the White House and Hillary will play a major role in Congress! Yeah!
Hello Pumas,
I am usually just a lurker but am so angry I have decided to become more involved by joining as a proud Puma.
LOVE the Palin choice made by McCain. Will make it even easier to vote McCain which I was going to do anyway.
McCain ‘08 / Hillary ‘12
What a day! McCain just won the election!
I’ll always remember that Hillary paved the way for her.
Hillary took all the abuse, and fought it with grace.
Hillary made the country believe it was possible.
Palin was picked and will have an easier time of it because of Hillary.
McCain/Palin 08!!!!!!
SHE IS 44 ANDBO 47. SHE STILL HAS MORE EXPERIENCE THAN “SUPERMAN”!
My vote for McCain is one of protection, not protest, to keep me and my loved ones safe at home. Roe v Wade is not going away and HRC will continue to work on Healthcare issues, which is most important to me.
164 Lara08 @@@@@@@ she has more experience than BOZO……MUCH MORE
AGAIN@@@@@@@@@@@ a GOVERNOR………….SO MUCH MORE EXPERIENCE THAN BOZO !!!!
Much more responibility than a legislator…BO just pulling a button, and hit the wrong one 6 times. hahahahahahha
I consider this a direct result of PUMA. Because of PUMA John McCain saw that he wanted our votes. He is a good person. He gives PUMA respect.
Obama says he does not need us and we should go away. Obama is a fool.
McCain says he honors us and wants to be our friend.
John McCain will now get my vote with PRIDE. I never expected this. It is so wonderful I am filled with tears. I am just a softie. Darn this is great news.
Congratuations to all PUMA. Your work is already paying off big BIG TIME.
Thank you MURPHY
This will make it much easier for Hillary to get the nomination next time. It will be Hillary against Palin in 2012. that is a hoot. hahaha.
I am so happy.
Go Hillary Go
GOD BLESS John McCain for showing the DEMOCRATS to be the LOSERS of the WORLD…
GO PUMA…GO WOMEN….GO GO GO!!!
I never thought a republican could make me cry tears of joy….GO GO GO!!!
I’ll bet she compliments Hillary in her speech !! 18 million cracks …………………yeah !!!!!!!!!
Did anyone see his “Smiling Ad” congratulating Obama on his “historic speech” (DNC choreographed all along) on the anniversary of MLK speech?
HE KNOWS IT WAS ALL A DEM PARTY SHAM!
HA! HA! HA!
GO MCCAIN/PALIN!!! CHILL ALL OVER UP MY BODY!
YOU TRIED HILLARY – THEY WOULD NOT LISTEN !
YES!! YES!! YES!!
Our voices were heard!!!! It’s not Hillary, but our voices were heard.
I don’t know what to type except that the democratic party has really screwed the pooch on this one.
What a bunch of pathetic inept, non strategical morons.
Don’t say millions of real dems didn’t tell ya so!
We have got to purge these pols from power.
Sarah Palin is perfect for us this year. What I am worried about is the 2012 elections. She would be a formidable candidate facing Hillary.
#199 YesSheCan
Yes, and I bet that McCain and Palin give Hillary a key position in their administration. It may not be President, but Hillary will get something good.
#187 TX Democrat whoa I just got on and gave my opinion what don’t I get. The news was saying something about her not having a lot of experience so I found that funny and shared. What don’t I get, explain please did you read my whole post I stated I am not going to whoop and yell till I READ MORE ABOUT HER. I made one comment so please explain, I see several people on here directing comments to you I did not say anything to you.
Let’s see what N.O.W. and Emily’s List do now !!!!!!!!!!
this may force BOZO to give Hillary a cabinet position !!
watch and see
#204 jenniforhillary
I’m with you on this one. I’m so moved by his selection that I’m shaking.
OMG – this is the 20th time now 21st time – I have tried to post this – can we all take up a collection and get another internet provider to get this fixed for Murphy
#817 other thread – CARCAL CARRIE – You must call your Secretary of State – especially since you got that response from the State Democratic Chairmain and contest Obamas name on your State Ballot for Indiana – I think you only have a few more hours to do so – wouldn’t it be great if we got several states that blocked him – automatic defeat for him.
I told my hubbie this morning that McCain would be smart to pick a woman – and he did!
Note that she is not pro-choice.
I am very pleased w/ the Palin pick- I am no Republican but from my perspective this was a good move on McCain’s part.
Can’t wait for the polls to come out!!!

was just going to say the same thing. Still have to get rid of Dean, Pelosi and Brazile so the DNC doesn’t screw it up next time.
Sara Palin!
and Geraldine Ferraro spoke on Fox saying about Hillary,
in a nutshell, how she was treated by the media, the DNC, NObama and his minions, and Dean not speaking out against it,
POW!
I hope and imagine that McCain has or will have a big post in mind for his friend paving the way for Palin.
YYAAAHHOOO!!!
((((SLY))))
JUST CHECKED MY REGISTRATION STATUS. They were supposed to send me a letter, but didn’t~~ Officially and Independent now. I am voting McCain/Palin District ONe Ocean County NJ
TOPIC: A Request
Murphy, could you please post the list up-top, “These are the Reasons for the Puma PAC Protest of the 2008 Election,” for the next week or so?
From a communications aspect I think we need to pull in the reign on public & media misperceptions and their tendencies to simplify and trivialize our reason for being, and our goals. Posting that list each day would be great way to keep them in line especially while we have their attention.
Also, before the last bullet it would be good to add a bullet about the caucus fraud. Thanks for considering.
GTG & BBL, have a great morning everyone.
Zero foreign policy experience with 2 ongoing wars and the cold war starting up. I’m not willing to take that chance. Voting Obama.
My daughter was on the fence yesterday. She said that after reading about Palin, she’s back (nobama) with pride. And, will go with me to see McCain tomorrow.
POTENTIAL PROBLEM????
IF McCain wins and he’s only running 1 term, will Palin then be running against Clinton in 2012?
#222 (((((((TexasTigress))))))))))) hey, glad to see everyone is happy on here again
CONGRATULATIONS DEMOCRATIC PARTY!
YOU NOT ONLY ATE ONE OF YOUR OWN……
YOU LOST THE ELECTION BY STEALING IT FROM THE MOST QUALIFIED, EXPERIENCED LEADER WE COULD HAVE HAD – WHO ALSO HAPPENED TO BE A WOMAN!
Pack the toga Mr. NObama
Now, how do we bring Hillary back? she’s our only chance.
Boy, did we “get over it” this morning. Didn’t we, Pumas? Not our disappointment over what happened to Hillary, but certainly any reluctance about McCain. I’m gonna love rubbing it in Obama’s and the DNC’s noses.
If Obama does a bad job then it will be Hillary in 2012.
Well I must get on and post my perspective –
McCain certainly lives true to his maverick style, doesn’t he?
First I love the idea for a woman as VEEP on the McCain ticket. Without question, this is a very calculated decision and had to have been done knowing this will carry some huge risks within the Republican party. I live in an area with staunch, chauvanistist Repbulicans, and they are conservative. Trust me, they don’t like women in power. It will tick them off. However, the choice between this ticket and Obama will tear them (on women in power issues) on their choice in November. Obama is a no brainer for a NO in both their and our minds. As a co-worker in NC who quoted her husband “I will never vote for a woman! (of course, as POTUS) will tear him right apart. I just left a message with her and stated the news and asking her to let me know what he says now.
The McCain camp is definitely sending an invite to us. It will probably work. They now wil likely also have to do damage control with thier own constituents.
This news did pick up my spirits.
BHO blew it, should of picked Hillary as his vp.
Murphy, can you add a bullet to the list at the top on the caucus irregularities and I am trying to be polite here- thuggery might be more appropriate.
229 wontbackdown
exactamundo!!!
They are all a pack of idiots.
#227 LoveHillary
WHAT AN EXCITING RACE 2012 WILL BE! WOMEN WILL BE DOMINATING BOTH SIDES OF THE RACE!
NOW THAT’S AN EXCITING RACE – REAL AND NEW CHOICES!
I am soooooooooooooo happy, it is embarrassing that the DNC did not considered Hillary for this, but there are the Republicans giving a chance to a women, I am loving it..
While everyone is arguing about her qualifications and experience etc. ( media) They are missing the vital message behind this pick for veep – “Obama , you f**ed up by disrespecting the most qualified candidate in the race and now I am going to rub your face in it .”
And Palin is VP!
http://edgeoforever.wordpress.com/2008/08/29/puma-rejoice-mccain-has-picked-a-woman-vp/
Palin has Morals too, she went up againt other Party members who she accused of STATE ETHICS VIOLATIONS. She was vindicated when the other commissioner had to pay a huge fine.
woooooooooo shes a gun toteing Hockey player too
I still think Hillary is done, unless something knocks obama out before election day, the party will want Mark Warner or some up and coming star to run in 2012
Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh
Now I will definetly voye for JOHN McCain AND MS PALIN!
#209 lilibet on 08.29.08 at 11:06 am Sarah Palin is perfect for us this year. What I am worried about is the 2012 elections. She would be a formidable candidate facing Hillary.
___________________________
I thought the same thing.
Wonderful, wonderful news!!! McCain has just shown how much smarter he is than Barry!!! Way to go, John!!
You just won the election!!!
#209 lilibet
Hillary has the experience. Hillary has already shown her presidential ability (even though it wasn’t recognized and honored the way it should have been). Imagine a presidential election with two women as the most viable candidates. At least we’ll have a real election with integrity instead of insanity. IMHO I think that’s a non-issue.
McCain/Palin ‘08
Hillary ‘12
Chuck Todd is gaga over Palin. This is drivivng Andrea Mitchell crazy. Sarah Palin had her brother-in-law fired because he was beating her sister. He was a State Trooper.
What are the BO followers saying about Palin?
About the investigation into Palin. She had a state trooper fired. He was married to her sister, they were going through a divorce, Palin will say he was messing with my sister and I had his ASS FIRED, I would have done the same thing! Hillary 2012!
I AM EXCITED! McCAIN/PALIN 08!!
THE DEM’S ARE GOING TO LOSE!
Yea!
Just imagine this for the history books – the republicans have the first female VP….once upon a time, something would have been considered wrong with this picture.
No one is talking about BO and his speech from last night. LOL
THANK YOU HILLARY!!! THANK YOU!!! YOU PAVED THE WAY FOR A NEW PARTY!
REAL AND RIGHT CHOICES ON THE ISSUES THAT MATTER TO AMERICAN VOTERS!
HILLARY WILL WIN IN 2012! THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY WILL BE CHASING HER!!!
Fl Gay Guy for Hill – when the States passed – giving the opportunity of other states to vote and then come back to them if necessary – I think it was a political move to not let it be close with California and New Mexico and let it get to New York where they already predained her to give it over to THE KING.
TexasTigress@@@@@@@@@@
can I get a big ole YEEEEEEEEE HAWWWWWWWW???
#225 You just pointed out why I would never vote for BO.
OMG!!!!!!! Fantastic choice of McCain for VP. I used to live in Alaska. Sarah is very accessible for a governor, she has at least 80% approval rating. Alaska tht 49th state of the Union is beautiful! I called my former neighbors in Alaska who are democrats, they’re all voting for McCain…hahahahah! I LOVE IT!
What a time, from Hillary in the primary to now…
I can’t believe it, for the first time in my relatively short life…
The Woman’s Vote is actively being pursued by ALL!!
We were always taken for granted, I think.
Palin versus Clinton in 2012! Can you imagine that?! Now THAT would be truly historic!
McCain/Palin 2008 so we can have Palin v Clinton in 2012!
PUMA, Look at CheapNN taking a dig if she will have time off from baby born. Is this not pointing to something. Tells me, get more vocal about what should and what should not be said.
Susan Malveaux and Brazille, do you not have something to add to this disparagement to YOU?
(((((((((((((((((((slyt2))))))))))))))))))))
#249 hillary2008
Palin stands up for family, unlike BOs half brother living in poverty.
wontbackdown, true, very true! Thanks for easing my concerns. Shame on the DNC for not respecting our Hillary! Let them reap what they sow…
TXDemocrat.. if you are going to vote for #61, you most likely will not enjoy blogging here.

Hooray, for John. He wasn’t afraid to step up and he gets my vote!!!!!
No one will be talking about Obama’s coronation today, any bump Obama got will be gone tomorrow. McCain is running a very smart campaign.
He’s a pretty nifty old dude. And his ads crack me up.
This is going to make that lever a lot easier to pull.
McCain/Palin 08!
THANK YOU JOHN MCCAIN – WE LOVE YOU, YOU GUTSY GUY!
palin has a 4 month old baby that has down syndrome. Also her son is going to iraq in the fall. This could be rough on her.
#225 TX Democrat
LOL. That’s funny TX. I’d be more concerned with that in the Dem candidate. He’s the one who’d BE right off the bat, HE’S GOT NO EXPERIENCE AT ANYTHING! lol. (Except fixing elections and throwing concerts).
I can live with this!!
McCain / global warming/ energy independence….woman VP….
ok ok…
GOOOOOD MORNING EVERYONE
Wouldn’t it be a HOOOOOOOT if she wore a Pant Suit?????
Just had to say that!

Asian4Hillary:
How was she with her “anti-choice” stance?
#271 (correction)
who’d BE PRESIDENT right off the bat….
wow. this is the best news in weeks!
McCain will be attacked on his judgement. He will look like a fool for even talking about Obama’s experience.
I can see the ads now, using McCain’s own recent words against him.
When we talk about OUTSIDE OF THE BELTWAY…….Sarah is WAY OUT OF THE BELTWAY!!!
Choosing Sarah Palin as his VP is the REAL CHANGE !!!!!!
This is why experience was required for the big game!
People tell me playing video games maketh not a good player and by the way did they tell you she can score a 3 pointer from the other side of the court and she could do it without daily practice
Well when BO said “if they bring a knife to the fight, we’ll bring a gun”, I don’t think he was counting on them bringing a woman who is such a good shot! LOL

We could always do a prowl and send her the suggestion! And wear orange to go with it!
MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT
Since 1950 there has been a nationwide movement to bring understanding to and about the homosexual minority.
Most of the organizations dedicated to this purpose stem from the Mattachine Foundation which was founded in Los Angeles at that time. Members of those organizations — the Mattachine Society, One, and National Association for Sexual Research — are predominantly male, although there are a few hard working women among their ranks.
The Daughters of Bilitis is a women’s organization resolved to add the feminine voice and viewpoint to a mutual problem. While women may not have as much difficulty with law enforcement, their problems are none the less real — family, sometimes children, employment, social acceptance.
However, the lesbian is a very elusive creature. She burrows underground in her fear of identification. She is cautious in her associations. Current modes in hair style and casual attire have enabled her to camouflage her existence. She claims she does not need help. And she will not risk her tight little fist of security to aid those who do.
But surely the ground work has been well laid in the past 5½ years. Homosexuality is not the dirty word it used to be. More and more people, professional and lay, are becoming aware of its meaning and implications. There is no longer so much “risk” in becoming associated with [text missing].
And why not “belong”? Many heterosexuals do. Membership is open to anyone who is interested in the minority problems of the sexual variant and does not necessarily indicate one’s own sex preference.
Women have taken a beating through the centuries. It has been only in this 20th, through the courageous crusade of the Suffragettes and the influx of women into the business world, that woman has become an independent entity, an individual with the right to vote and the right to a job and economic security. But it took women with foresight and determination to attain this heritage which is now ours.
And what will be the lot of the future lesbian? Fear? Scorn? This need not be — IF lethargy is supplanted by an energized constructive program, if cowardice gives way to the solidarity of a cooperative front, if the “let Georgia do it” attitude is replaced by the realization of individual responsibility in thwarting the evils of ignorance, superstition, prejudice and bigotry.
Nothing was ever accomplished by hiding in a dark corner. Why not discard the hermitage for the heritage that awaits any red-blooded American woman who dares to claim it?
Del Martin, President
Daughters of Bilitis

POTENTIAL PROBLEM????
IF McCain wins and he’s only running 1 term, will Palin then be running against Clinton in 2012?
Now that would be HISTORY to women running against each other…..YES!!!!!!!!!!!
Ok I have stated my opinion. Only time will tell.
kat in the hat –
I love your sentiment – however, it is the rep party that is actively pursuing the female vote. Remember – 0 said that he didn’t need us!
This life long Dem. is so excitied and proud of John McCain. OMG a women! One i believe has character as well. As a sibiling of two Downs adults, which live with me full time. She knew her baby had downs and it didn’t matter. Believe me it says a whole lot about her. This is someone who is not afraid of a rough road ahead.
OmG!!!! I love John Mccain. He has just told the DNC and Bo to shove it for all women. No matter what, Hillary is the one that has made this possible make no bones about it!!!!!!! This guy is a maverick in every sense of the word. AAAAhhhh couldn’t be more awesmone!
McCain sign just put up in the yard!!! Thank you McCain, Sarah Palin!
Gives “clinging to your guns” a whole new meaning, doesn’t it?
Biden is going to have problems with Palin. If he attacks her, the women will revolt. They can not treat her like they did Hillary. The republicans will not put up with it, and neither will women.
Did you hear that he son would be headed to Iraq later this year?
john –
not HISTORY but HERSTORY!
Pumetta,
She’s anti-abortion but in Alaska Roe V Wade cannot be overturned. People in Alaska are different, they live by the rules, you don’t invade other people’s privacy. People in Alaska are CONSTITUTIONALIST. Don’t you know it is legal to grow your own marijuana in Alaska provided it is for personal consumption and you smoke it in your home…..hahahaha!

“nifty old dude” I like that.
Brazilla et al must be reeling
Their cupcake is in trouble!!!
#270 vadaryl
Would you think that’s an issue if she were a man? Probably not. In a tough situation, especially one involving their children (Iraq) women rise to the occasion.
I think this is a plus. It makes viable and available health care and the safety of our troops very prominent issues for her.
100% behind this decision!

If the DNC had any brains they would do quick damage control by “suddenly” find BO ineligible due to fraud or the intimidation in Denver or whatever and put Hillary in. They don’t have much time b/c states have time limits for putting candidate on ballot for GE.
#278 Asian4Hillary
LOL. I love your comment about Sarah sure being “outside the beltway.”
Couldn’t get much farther, could she?!
Finally!!! Another woman in the running for high office. Granted, we vote for Presidents, not Vice-Presidents, but if anything happened to McCain, we would have our first Woman President!!! Think of it!!!! What a rallying cry!!!!!
Murphy can you add a bullit to the top list on caucus irregularities i.e. thuggery? That video needs to get out to the mainstream. I’d love to see a mainstream news outlet, 60 Minutes or something like that, interview Michael Moore-bama and watch him try to deny the validity of those clips.
They disagree on drilling anwar and taxing oil companies. That could help them.
You are outnumbered TXDEMOCRATE 1000 to 1
#295 notfollowinthepiedpiper If she were a man I don’t think it would be a big issue at all. But this child does need a lot of attention and I hope she can provide it, or has a husband who can carry the load. It will bring more attention to it that it needs very badly, so it could end up to be a big positive.
This throws a cog in my whole way of thinking….Much much much soul searching to do. I am so excited to have a woman In the running!
only non washington and gun toten mama change is here and bo first to go
He knew all along – I saw him on Jay Leno last week – he was a cool customer!
They’re talking about Palin on Fox, all good things. I’ll turn into CNN to see what those jerks are saying.
I can’t wait to see what Jack Cafferty the biggest a**hole will say.
PALIN IS A REPUBLICAN VERSION OF HILLARY – SHE FIGHTS TO THE END FOR WHAT SHE BELIEVES IN!

Surely you are joking? Sorry, no Kool-aid drinkers here.
TX Democrat~~~ Well, you can always vote for Obamacrite.
Jody, that would be a gutsy move! But since the DNC sat silent through the primaries I am not holding my breath.
AsianforHillary – (sigh) – why can’t the rest of the US be like Alaska (with regards to the Roe v Wade, of course!)
And that explains why Palin said she smoked pot – when it was legal in Alaska.
#266 nativegirl
Ditto.
#284 John
Palin against Hillary in 2012. Not a concern. She is there for US-Hillary supporters. And everyone knows we’re with Hillary.
McCain Palin 2008
HILLARY 2012
#227 TX Democrat said” Zero foreign policy experience with 2 ongoing wars and the cold war starting up. I’m not willing to take that chance. Voting Obama”.
Let me try and put your mind at ease? As for foreign policy McCain has that in the bag that is what he has experience in and BO lacks also as far as wars that is also were he runs away in the polls with people trust him way more on the war then they do BO, so why are you worried about her on those areas??
Wow, she cancelled her security detail and got rid of the private jet that the former Alaska gov used, saving the state hundreds of thousands of dollars….suck on that with your motorcade BO!!
This would never have happened if the DNC made the correct moves a few months ago. This week they could of corrected their mistake but chose not to, so they deserve what they get.
TX Democrat
Please, we heard all that.
Only Hillary can save this party now.
Otherwise it McCain/Palin. with pleasure.
I have tears in my eyes over this. Thank you Hillary! She has made it possible…..OUR VOTES COUNT….MY VOTE IS FINALLY WORTH SOMETHING…at least John McCain thinks so!
#305 vadaryl
“so it could end up to be a big positive”

I really believe it will…..she’s already a governor. So she must already have a plan in place, as any working mom would.

Sorry but you are soooo wrong! This was an absolutely “blow them out of the water” move for the McCain campaign. Very, very gutsy and smart move!
The BO camp is toast! LOLOLOL
Notes from the xO SITE
By R. from Darien, CT 15 minutes ago (Updated 15 minutes ago)
Palin can hurt us! She is spunky like Hillary. She has executive branch experience as a governor. She has an 80% approval rating as the Governor. She is a mom of 5, the last one with down’s syndrome. And the only attack we have is inexperience….which is what our candidate lacks. Yikes! This will hurt us.
From what I heard, Palin is very good, but she is as ‘inexperienced’ in politics as Barack. That should defeat McCain’s argument about Barack not being ready. Is he saying Palin is ready? What a laugher.
We better not laugh though, because HRC supporters can be irrational. They could vote for him just to see a woman president.
BRILLIANT!
My hat is off to McCain! What a master stroke this is!
Our voices were heard, PUMAs! The most qualified candidate in the race was disrespected — and she happened to be a WOMAN who won 18 million votes. Now with Palin as VP, the Republican candidate is saying: “Eat my shorts, Democrats!”
I am not voting for McCain — I will still go with Nader/Gonzalez. But I will LOVE watching Obama’s candidacy crash and burn!
And Hillary can handle 2012 against Palin. She is the Fighter. And won’t it be a hell of a fight!
GO PUMAs!
NYCgirl
Good morning Pumas!
On Tuesday night I cried in despair at what could have been when I watched Hillary Clinton give her amazing speech.
Today I had a few tears of joy when I heard about Gov. Palin.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY JOHN MCCAIN!!!!
Believe it or not, Palin was an excellent choice. Think about it. with all the sexism that went on in the primaries, Obama and Biden will have to be VERY careful about attacking her. McCain made a very smart move. Obama likes to play the race card. Now they tables can be turned. I don’t know alot about her. BUT, I hope shes a good debater and speaker. That is a must.
Remember Geraldine Ferraro in 84!
#310 LivingGrace
Yes, this clinches it for me.
Look behind the stage, mccain’s team already has a country first sign up. This is going to be a fight right down to the last day. A tic for tac battle.
****** I AM SO PROUD OF ALL OF YOU *****
ESPECIALLY MURPHY AND ALL THOSE WHO BEGAN THIS BLOG… MURPHY … YOU ARE IN THE NY TIMES… WHAT A PRIVILEGE TO REPRESENT DEMOCRACY THIS WAY!!!
I KNEW THAT EVERYONE HERE COULD M AKE A DIFFERENCE AND I AM PROUD THAT I COULD BE A SMALL PART OF THAT!!!
CNN is so bias, all they can say about Palin is that she has no experience on the national level…… what about their selected one!
Anyone brave enough to visit the zoids and find out what they’re buzzing about?? LOLOLOL
TX DEMOCRAT You’ll find no Obama sympathizers here.
McCain…CHANGE WE CAN REALLY BELIEVE IN!
You know he has high powered women all around him on his campaign and he pays them equally well.
we need to go to McCains site and congratulate them and sign puma dems
TX Democrat
I would rather the top of the ticket have the experience. My Gosh, she has more on the job training than BO, We have been a part of making history. PUMA men and women, give yourselves a pat on the back
McCain/Palin!!!!!!!!!!
You Go Girl! The next VP will be a woman!
The immoral and corrupt DNC crowned the new emperor O-bomb-USA yesterday what a sad and disgraceful spectacle. Invesco says a lot about his EGO, he is a sick man.
Nero and the fallen Roman Empire have risen. Beware!

what are you saying? mondale/ferraro lost 49 states.
OMG…..the sexism is already in high gear!. They are ripping a GOVERNOR for inexperience who is a VP nominee, yet brushed aside a Presidential nominee who is a SENATOR!
Wow, Sarah Palin!
A hunter, fisher, marathon runner, hockey player, H.S. basketball star nicknamed ‘Sarah Baracuda’, mother of 5 (new baby w/ down’s syndrome), son headed to Iraq in the fall, Husband a ’stay at home dad’, 90% approval in Alaska, and the list just continues to grow!
I am soooooo excited! Way to go John and thank you for hearing our voices!
Most of all, thanks to Hillary who paved the way for this!
McCain ‘08 / Hillary ‘12
#293 Asian
Just came from McCain office, I asked about pro-choice w/Palin etc…They told me ‘they’ are concerned (about her on tkt) because Palin’s 5th child has downs and she wasnt sure about keeping the baby. In the end they did. But the fact that she considered aborting.
Thats what they told me.
NObamaDem see posts 322 and 338
I guess her husband a Mr. MOM, OMG I love this.

BTW, people in Alaska HATES Political correctness. They’re environmentalists, but with COMMON SENSE. Gosh ! I miss Alaska the best state in the union! In Alaska you’ll see through spirit of America, people helping in each other especially during winter time. People take care of each other. I can go to bed in Alaska with my door unlock and not worry of anything!
If Palin run for President in 2012 and Hillary do the same thing, I would love to see it! Two strong women!

I am literally JUMPING FOR JOY…and don’t you worry about 2012 because Hillary is IN IT TO WIN it and all we are asking for is a FAIR FIGHT. Something the SOB camp couldn’t muster this year because he couldn’t hold his own against HITLER much less HILLARY!!
GO GO GO HILLARY….this is for all women everywhere and ALL GOOD PEOPLE!! GOD BLESS the REPUBLICANS today….
gotta got to work, but today I will be floating
oh, and GOD BLESS PUMA FOR ROCKING THE BOAT and we will continue to do so and come November Palin’s win will be Hllary’s win!!
Obama cost the taxpayers an extra 9.5 million for his move to Invesco field Obamarama!!!… HOW ABOUT THAT STATISTIC?
YES…. OBAMA SUPPORTERS HOW MUCH MORE WILL HE SPEND FOR HIS SPECTACULAR “AMERICAN IDOL” STATUS SYMBOLS…

WELCOME TO THE HEARTLAND!! OHIO!!!! YAYYYY!
Oh, man, I am soooo excited. Sarah Palin! Sarah Palin! YES! What a smart choice.

i came here because i support hillary. but i see now that this group is not about hillary.
Fox news just said that BO and Dems are starting to attack her (was to be expected) but didn’t say what they are saying.
TX democrat…this is a NoBama site first and foremost…Hillary was the catalist, but the mission is fixing the democratic party
#212 Firebelle Puma
I wouldn’t worry about 4 years from now. If the repubs win this year they must change and improve so many things, that it probably won’t happen and it will be hard for Palin to distance herself from the McCain administration if she runs. Besides a campaign between 2 women in 2012 would be kick *ss.
DemoCRITE be gone…don’t you have some ass kissing to do in OBOTLAND…
Oh, I LOVE that new graphic — Super Bo!!! Perfect after that speech last night.
Morning Pumas,
I don’t want to get into any discussions here about Choice…but I have a purely Political observation. We know that the Chicago nurse, Jill Stanek, has been out-spoken about BO’s rejection of the Born-Alive Protection Act. It was a Down’s Syndrome Baby that was aborted and Jill rocked the child until he died. Sarah Palin knew that her 5th child would have Down’s Syndrome and carried the baby to term.
I think there will be an underlying theme here.
Let’s see how Sarah performs. I, for one, am thrilled!
Palin has been Mayor, Counselwomen and Gov. She has ALL the experience NEEDED
She is going to PA and let people know “This is who I AM – ‘I am from Alaska and love to hunt but let me make it very clear – I am running for office while tending to my kid and while people say it is not possible, I know you all in PA, OH, FL, MI and all 57 States (actually 50) believe and disprove that every day. Now I am also going to tell you this from a true Alaskan heart – No, we also do not cling to guns due to bitterness just as you do not! We love people from all over and are not Xenophobic! And we know how to govern because we CAN!’. And I agree, ‘this is not about me, this is about YOU’ and I am confident you know the answer on the day you should’.
I’m very excited about this VP choice. Howard Wolfson said of fox that he thinks Hillary’s supporters will be happy about this choice.
BO BO is not going to win this one!! Going to donate to McCain!! Yeaaaa for women!!! It’s really sad that that ass didn’t pick Hillary.
PUMAs – This is truly a historic day. My heart was breaking all week. I could not speak, or write. Today I am a proud woman, proud to support McCain for President. And the PUMAs made the difference. We would not back down…I love you all. I am proud to be one of you.
TXDemocrat says…”Obama’s biggest problem was experience and now it is off the table.”
NOT….McCain will be the POTUS …so they got the ticket right sided. And from what I hear Palin has done more as Gov. of Alaska than NOBO in his 143 day in the Senate. THIS IS AN ABSLOUTELY BRILLIANT MOVE by McCain. NoBO can never argue that he has more experience than McCain….and arguing that he has more expereince than Palin is like comparing apples to oranges.
It show he is not sexist, it will help bring in the conservative base and will be perfect for setting it up to have two women running for POTUS in the 2012 election. This is a big plus for women’s rights. I am not concerned about the abortion issue. This is big step toward eradicating sexism in this country. I had no doubt before that I would vote McCain as a protest vote….. but this is the icing on the cake! NOBO blew it by not picking Hillary.
A friend who is of the same mindset as I am…said Palin eloped with her high school sweetheart so she wouldn’t have to pay for a big wedding…thought it was a waste of money. So my friend said that shows she has some sense of not overspending in gov’t. I love it!!!

The Perfect Stranger
By Charles Krauthammer
WASHINGTON — Barack Obama is an immensely talented man whose talents have been largely devoted to crafting, and chronicling, his own life. Not things. Not ideas. Not institutions. But himself.
Exactly the point that we discussed last night a bio where no one vouches for you no friends only himself and his wife.
Just not right
#361 queen81
so voting for a ticket that goes against everything democrats stand for is fixing the party? that does not make sense. sounds like spite to me.
Palin has also been head of the Oil and Gas Commission. Strong on Energy. Strong on Reform. Washington outsider.
Very smart!
#359 TX Democrat Now stop please we have always been for Hillary incase you missed the news BO won nomination Hillary is out. Our goal is to keep BO from being in the white house. But please don’t say we don’t support Hillary every single one of us have broke our a** to try and get her elected it didn’t happen now we are on to the next step SAVING OUR COUNTRY .
#360 slyt2
I already got an enail from my BO supporting friend and they are saying she is ‘pro-life, pro’gun’. same old, same old.
Down with his majesty!!!
But you guys are willing to vote for a woman who opposes abortion rights and gay marriage, and supports domestic drilling for oil????
That’s backwards. Totally backwards.
#359 TX Democrat
“but i see now that this group is not about hillary.”
Your right. It is about country first. Hillary was the best choice and should be president, but until that’s possible, it’s imperative that we concentrate on preservation of this country so it will still be there in four years so she can run again!
352 pumetta LOL Yeah , and we’ve been called much worse !!!
They are also concerned that Biden won’t be able to debate her full force because of all of the sexism that was raised in the campaign .
They also noted that Obama’s Biden pick screwed their “change message” and that Palin is going to make that very clear ….
Kendal- I’m spying on their site – all of these things are coming from the pro -xo site ! I love it !!!!!
ok, so palin is the new hillary. nobody even knows her yet.
Just donated 25.44 to John McCain and in the box that asks who referred you I put Hillary Clinton.
Warning! Do not feed the Obots. Step away from the cage.
PUMAs – everyone here made their voices heard. The McCain camp heard you, they saw what happened to Hillary, they listened……… heck, the World listened. It was PUMAs and Hillary that “made” this happen!! Yes, Hillary did it!! Even if it isn’t your chosen party, you made everyone listen!! You made a difference!! I cried for Hillary and am still crying!!
MURPHY:
Is there anyway you can find to make it easier to post? It takes so many tries before I can post most of the time.
Governor and head of Alaska National Guard!!!! At least SHE has Command experience!!!!
#359 TX Democrat, Doesn’t matter, this was Never all about Hillary!! It is about the way the DNC and MSM treated women and the way they cheated to get Obama the nomination!!!
#381 mkp651 on 08.29.08 at 11:44 am

—————————————–
I’m not pro-McCain (may vote “for Palin” after today) but that’s funny!
Yes, just as no one knows BO as much yet.
Prediction: After the huge Media backlash due to the gleeful sexism they showed toward Hillary, they just might bend over backwards to treat Palin fairly…even favorably. (Well, that might be a stretch.)
she has been to Iraq with our troops and did it on her own not draged like bo she has brought vigor to this again and breath of fresh air no washington. Man I feel lots better and they say on fox it was us and dems not haceing Hillary.
378 notfollowinthepiedpiper on 08.29.08 at 11:43 am #359 TX Democra
Thank you~~~Couldn’t have said it better myself!
The republicans would be smart to credit Hillary for paving the trail for a women VP to be accepted. This would be a constant reminder to Dems of the mistake they made. Brilliantly on McCains part, he knows the Dems can’t bring up inexperience. McCain looks like the agent of change and Obama looks like same old.
It’s hard not to feel bad for Hillary. She did all the work and no reward while someone else slips right in.
Why did it take a republican pick of a woman to all of sudden realize that women are the vote to go after in this election?
Stupid, stupid stupid Democratic Party – they coulda had it all & now they will be going down – too bad
Don’t care about the pro-life, pro-gun – I’m not a single issue voter except I want a woman finally –
This Sarah likes to clean house too – got rid of some corrupt & dishonest politicians – good for her – we need a woman – I can vote for McCain now………..guess I am a single issue voter after all – women rule
380
I too still lament Hillary’s being overlooked. But we want McCain to win not BO so we must work on another approach and focus. Palin is NOT another Hillary.
Murphy ,
“SO, WHO WANTS TO HAVE A BEER WITH SARAH PALIN?”
UMMMMmM- ME !
Firechief: Do some research. Her views are a a little more complex than what you are trying to say.
FOR THE RECORD, we are AMERICANS and we beleive in DEMOCRACY…the BASIC tenent of which is REPRESENTATION. SINCE the Democratic Party threw that and US in the garbage….
WE WILL NOT VOTE FOR THEM THIS YEAR. GET IT, GOOD.
Palin is a great choice–strong, mother, AMERICAN, and will speak to choice as a PERSONAL DECISION.
The SMALL issues do not matter if your VOTE does not matter…Democracy was MURDERED by the BO and the DONC so we have NO CHOICE….
THANK GOD FOR what we do have…McCAIN and PALIN!!
thanks hillary

Are you for real?
The Democratic Party WENT against everything IT stands for! That’s why we’re rejecting it. If you claim to be a loyal Dem, how can you possibly support it and still call yourself a DEMOCRAT?!!!!!
I knew the Republicans were smarter that the Democrats, but McCain picking Palin IS the smartest move made in history!! They knew how angry the Hillary supporters were and listened to us. Now McCain is a shoe in…I was really hoping he would pick Palin after fallowing her for the past few months. THIS IS A DAY FOR CELEBRATION!! WE HAVE BEEN HEARD PUMAS BUT NOT BY THE PARTY WE WERE AIMING FOR!!
No one can go after Palin for inexperience! Obama is at the TOP of the dem ticket and he hasn’t done squat.
LOL. MSNBC is so desperate.
You know it’s a GOOD thing if folks at CNN and MSNBC seem bothered by McCain’s pick!!!! LOL.
If they even DARE keep up with all their woman hating at MSNBC, you will see that both the democrats and republicans will go after them for it.
I am just soooo thrilled about Sarah Palin. She will understand women and health care with having a disabled child. Ironically both of them will have sons in Iraq. This is a slam dunk for John McCain and most of all….. NoBama just became old news.
Geraline Feraro on FOX now talking about PUMA!!!!
TX Democrat-No offense, but I am wondering why you are here?
FOX–Geraldine mentioned PUMA–but the other one–Party Unity My @$$
Gerry Ferrara talking about PUMA on FOX!!!! NOW
lol 300 pumas have been in touch with Ferraro. They will not vote bo she says now will look at McCain
THIS IS A SALUTE TO HILLARY! THANK YOU JOHN MCCAIN!
GET OUT THE ANTI-AGING, ANTI-DIAHREA, ANTI-DEPRESSANTS DEMOCRATIC PARTY LEADERS!
DON’T BLAME US – YOU GOT SHAFTED BY YOUR OWN FINGERS…
SHOULDN’T HAVE HAD YOUR HANDS IN THE BIG PIE OF DEMOCRATIC PARTY CORRUPTION!…
SHOULDN’T HAVE RELENTLESSLY BEATEN, CHEATED ON, AND ABANDONED A BELOVED WOMAN – ONE OF YOUR OWN FAMILY MEMBERS
SHOULDN’T HAVE PARADED HER OUT FOR THE WORLD TO SEE THE BRUISING YOU GAVE HER – AND THE THREATS YOU MADE AGAINST HER TO ‘KEEP SILENT’!
MAY YOU CONTINUE TO GET WHAT YOU SO RICHLY DESERVE – YOU SICK, SICK, SICK, POLITICAL PARTY!
BRING IT ON DEMOCRATS! MCCAIN KNOWS HOW TO DEFEND HIS COUNTRY TO THE DEATH – HE WILL DAMN SURE DEFEND HER…
AND PALIN DAMN SURE KNOWS HOW TO DEFEND HERSELF – SHE WENT UP AGAINST CORRUPTION IN HER OWN PARTY… AND WON – YOU IDIOTS!
gerry on fox talking about PUMAS !!!!!!!
Geraldine Ferraro has mentioned PUMA on FOX news!!!
#377 Firechief Many of us have made the decision to support McCain. Some won’t. Our vote is a protest.
Many of us will give Palin a look. We are not single issue voters. The main thing is Country First.
#345 LivingGrace…………….sweetie you are wrong. No one loves my Hill more than me. My heart is broken !!
I am just happy that John picked a woman, because it is a slap in BOZO’S FACE………..And maybe if McCain can pull this off, it will give Hillary a chance to run in 2012……
TX Democrat
WE DO SUPPORT HILLARY!! HILLARY 2012 ALL THE WAY!
We also want to fix the Dem party. Women should have respect and the Dem’s turned their backs on us and looked the other way….
Ferraro is talking about PUMA on Fox News!!
I am a dem that is pro-gun. That is not uncommon. We have the right to bare arms and defend our families.
take that pelosi,dean,brazile and mo what a new day arisin
TX Democrat – Well, well, well…
Nobama.
Nibiden.
We will remember in November.
McCain has given back my hope! He has shown that he is a different Republican, I will proudly vote for him!! GOOOD MORNING PUMAS!!!
PLUS…..this blows NOBO’s argument about change. What does he do? Pick a Washington “status quo” insider” and McCain picks the outsider!!! ABSOLUTELY LOVE IT!!! Can’t tune in to FOX right now but wonder what they are saying. All I can get is CNN…and I think they are shocked.
What did G Ferraro say about PUMA?
I second WONTBACKDOWN….
I AM SO HAPPY….Hillary and Puma and Geraldine and Stephanie….
Now, let’s go WHOOP SOME ASS on the DEMOCRATIC LEADERSHIP, anyone who DIDN’T support Hillary, and BO and MO….
She said she has heard directly from over 300 pumas in the last 2 weeks and there is now way in hell they will vote for BO because of the sexism and misogny in the primaries and MCCain just won most of their votes .. (Ferraro)
ALL of the candidates appose Gay marriage! McCain is like the rest of them. He supports equal benefits and rights to gays and lesbians just as the dems do. And so does Palin. So they r ALL equal on that!
#377 firechief
There is a previous post abput the pro-life anti-gay thing being different in Alaska and I don’t support offshore drilling, but 70% of americans do and our fearless (NOT) democratic congress is probably going to pass it. I will fight against it but I think it will happen.
Note about Trolls: Trolls go to NObo sites to cause trouble. They either engage individuals into arguments or incite members into arguing w/each other. Their goal is to “divide and conquer,” thereby weakening the enemy–BO’s classic dirty tactics. If ignored they usually go away.
#392 gina613
“It’s hard not to feel bad for Hillary. She did all the work and no reward while someone else slips right in.”
~~~~~~~~~~~~
But you gotta know she’s smilin’ inside.. It’s so obvious that this is a slap in the face to those **** who threw her under the bus.
bo sent out bad release they are worried and should be
I am a Democrat because I am for the middle class. Palin has raised taxes on the middle class in Alaska.
I am pro-choice. McCain has already said that he wants Roe . Wade overturned.
It’s strange that someone would question me being a Democrat because I will not vote for a Republican.
HOLY SHIT!!!
Sorry for such an expression. I just woke up to the news that McCain picked a woman for VP and had to yell in an unlikely and uncontrolable fasion.
Sarah Palin is a bit unknown to me, but she certainly is someone I want to learn more about. I already have read a little about her in the comments section at the Confluence. Everyone seems very excited about this over there. What a stunner of a choice (and what a stunner in the looks department
)
I think it’s safe to say, “Obama goodbye. You’re history before you can make history.”
BO is Toast. The GOP just made it obvious what a total Jackass he is.
WE TOLD YOU SO!
Geraldine – about PUMAs – about your support – NOBAMA – because another “woman” is in the campaign, now the second one on a ticket after 24 years!!! What it means for our daughters – that they can be whatever they want to be….
Murphy, I LOVE the list at that top of what we are protesting. What do you think of adding “Fraud in caucuses?
#377 firechief on 08.29.08 at 11:43 am
[[But you guys are willing to vote for a woman who opposes abortion rights and gay marriage, and supports domestic drilling for oil????]]
*************************
Although I typically prefer a candidate who supports abortion rights, I give Sarah Palin a tremendous amount of credit for not aborting a fetus she knew had Down’s Syndrome. She made a decision to love and raise the child, despite all the difficulties ahead for the child and her whole family. She’s a far braver woman than I think I could be if I were in her position. Good for her.
gun toten mama is on the rise she has done so much unreal
UNF%$&KING BELIEVABLE!!!
The O Campaign has just put out the most petty, mean-spirited response to Sarah Palin….called her the former mayor of a town of 9000…
Watch for a snarky comeback from Schmidt.
Geraldine Ferraro just said that she is pleased to see that McCain reached out like this and chose a woman.
Last log…really have to go to work…but peeps I can hear it grumbling, like a slow roar outside…..NO MORE BO…NO MORE MO….NO MORE BO….NO MORE MO….
GOOOOOOOO HILLARY….GOOOOOOO McCAIN!!!
You know Hillary and Bill are laughing their asses off today, and GOD BLESS YOU McCAIN for giving them that…
WHOOP SOME ASS on those creeps..come on people likes get the PROWL ON….
TX Democrat
We’re thinking long term here, trying to bring the DNC back to the Democrats. To make our voices heard in the future.
To reward Dean, Pelosi, Brazile, Obama , and the media for their outrageous behavior in this campaign would only encourage them to do it again and again.
As Hillary supporters, OF COURSE our beliefs are different the the Repub’s.
But I honestly think McCain will do a better job than Obama leading the country, at least for 4 years. He’s not Bush. And Obama is an egotistical, inexperienced, dirty politician.
Thank you Hillary for opening the door!
Thank you McCain for keeping it open!
doria because they are worried and should be also a beauty pagent player geesh she has done it all Moose hunting at 3 am . LOL she would be awake anyway LOL
Dude or dudette, you just don’t get it!!
#380 TX Democrat on 08.29.08 at 11:43 am ok, so palin is the new hillary. nobody even knows her yet.
IGNORE ALL TROLLS…ONE HERE IS TRYING TO TAKE THE WIND OUT OF OUR SAILS BY GIVING US THE SAME BO BS…TIME TO LEAVE TROLL!!
This sure took the wind out of BO’s speech. I have not heard anyone talking about it today.
#437 YesSheCan
You’re thinking really long term when you consider the supreme court justice appointments. Very long term.
doria:
I know, they better watch it, the more they attack a woman, the more they will continue to appear to be woman bashers!
They didn’t say any congratulations either! It is a special choice…do they not see the historical nature of his choice.
They are WORRIED.
I would bet anything that John McCain puts Hillary in a high level position. They are very good friends and he really respects her.
He obviously listens to us women so we can strongly encourage him to do so. A loss for BO and Hillary shining would be delicious!
Also, it is a fact that even with all of BO’s talk of equal pay for women, he pays his 30+ senate employee men much more than his women employees. McCain’s senate employees are mostly women, in higher positions, and make much more than his men. I recently read an article on this so he is not just using Palin, he has believed in the value of women all along!
Love it!
McCain ‘08 / Hillary ‘12
doria @@@@@@@@ don’t count on it. Matthews and oberass will try to tear her apart !! won’t work !! and again they will be labled sexist
Rove called XO campaign response – ‘petty and small’ and said they weren’t smart and should have had a better response than that …
Obama campaign press release to this pick is about as petty as it gets. whaaaaaa!
People with opposing opinions are not trolls. You don’t even know what a troll is.
It is curious how this election process has made me change my habits, and my conceptions. I have never watched FOX news, to be honest, never tried to watch it, but after the coverage given by CNN, MSNBC, et al, I have switched to FOX news, at least they have reflected the reality as it is. Now I am excited to vote for a Republican candidate, I guess people at work will think that I have gone crazy!! because I have always voted Democrats. But I am very proud to vote Republican this year, my country before ANY party !
McCain/Palin 08 it is!!!!!!!!!
Palin is not the new Hillary – she is the result of Hillary.
WHOOOOOOPPPPP my neighbor just put a McCAIN sign in her yard….SHE IS CONVERTING….SPIT OUT THE KOOL AID…
GO GO GO HILLARY…people are seeing the truth FINALLY the DEMOCRATS DISSED ALL WOMEN by treating Hillary like Filth…
ONE LESS OBAMA SIGN and it is the first hour
WHOOOPPPP there it is!!
#427 TX Democrat
I question you being a Democrat because you obviously think it’s ok to violate ALL the basic principles of democracy – and the Democratic Party (or at least the one I once supported). That defies logic to me. Voting for a Republican candidate in this case means voting for someone who still believes in the basic principles of REPRESENTATIVE GOVERNMENT!
I feel 10 tons lighter now. Thank you John McCain.
#427 TX Democrat – You have stumbled upon the wrong site. NOBAMA!
John McCain and Sarah Palin.
Hillary made it possible. This is John McCain’s nod to her achievements and a show of his respect for her.
#451 Middle age female
are you kidding? she couldn’t be more different than hillary.
jenniforhillary…………….bye Jenn, have a good day
Hillary has 18 million cracks in the glass ceiling…Palin may break half of the glass ceiling as VP if McCain is elected…Hillary will break the entire ceiling in 2012….WOMEN ARE MAKING HISTORY..ON TO VICTORY PUMAS!!
#424 jody in florida – You’re absolutely right, let’s just ignore the pesky little things! They’re soooo upset, everytime they open their tiny little mouths, they spit up half-truths and lies!
I am now more comfortable than ever voting for McCain. I would just love to see Palin go up against Pelosi. I do know about Palin somewhat and had often mused whether he would pick her. But I was swayed by all the hype for Minn gov and Romey et al. How pleasantly surprised.
Is TX Dem a troll?
hillfan4mccain
RIGHT ON SISTER!
#445 MissouriPuma
I agree. I wouldn’t be surprised if he does the same with John Lewis of GA.
Well I am not willing to say NOBAMA at all costs. At some point reason has to be factored in. That is what makes me different I guess.
oh murphy…I would love to have a beer with Sarah.
Obama is really going to be beaten by women after all. YES!!!!
What are you talking about, Kendal Blue?
Wrong about what? I still love Hillary Clinton. I would give anything, and I tried to give everything, to see her elected.
FYI my fellow Pumas – I am happy as hell about MCCains pick , but I will not vote for MCCain . I am a Democrat , but I will never support XO !
Tx.dem . has her own opinion and we should respect it . If you disagree , don’t respond . ((((( Pumas ))))
I do not blog often but am always here…
I wanted to share my thoughts with all of you…I had been feeling very emotional, tired, frustrated with everything and the convention just made me moreso. I thought of leaving PUMA and giving up. I cried when Hillary gave her speech at the convention…but I remembered she kept saying to keep running…but
I didn’t know if it would make any difference any more..
UNTIL NOW…
I too have 5 kids, am unfortunately the bread winner for my family since my husband is not able to bring in as much as he used to because of the way jobs are here in MICHIGAN. I have one child who has a disability and have been very active supporting our troops..have had a brother serve as well as my dad when he was younger.
Thank you John McCain for hearing the voices of the disenfranchised Hillary supporters. You have made the right choice.
And thank you PUMA’s for all that we have accomplished, let’s continue our fight! I now feel renewed energy. Let’s get on track so Hillary wins in 2012…
God Bless our great country..and each of you. We have accomplished great things with more to come.
I don’t know some believe that Mc would change certain personal rights – he totally believes they should be recognized at State levess – not government…. the same thing with religion – it should not be a part of our government – personal choices.

Go vote in this AOL poll asking if Palin is right pick for McCain.
http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20080829/ap_on_el_pr/veepstakesMcCain taps Alaska governor for VP
18 minutes ago
DENVER – John McCain tapped little-known Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin to be his vice presidential running mate on Friday in a startling selection on the eve of the Republican National Convention.
In an announcement, the campaign said that Palin, who has been governor less than two years, “has the record of reform and bipartisanship that others can only speak of.”
“Her experience in shaking up the status quo is exactly what is needed in Washington today,” the campaign said.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Wonder what “OTHERS” they are referring to in this statement? hehehe…..
The McCain cheerleaders are cute, first time I’ve seen them, but then I’ve been watching Hillary.
Hello PUMA family! I just couldn’t stay away.
Watching FOX and lovin’ Geraldine Ferraro. She nailed it.
I am truly exhausted and need to spend time with my cub but wanted to share this event with my REAL PUMA family. I so missed you all in Denver!
There are so many PUMA stories to tell – some heartbreaking, some inspiring, some shocking, some disheartening – yet they speak of the diversity of the PUMA group and of our passion to be heard as Americans.
I’m going to be writing up some summaries of the Denver events in the next couple days. School starts for the cub on Tuesday and I’m back in college full time on Wednesday.
Any PUMA who was in Denver can attest to the incredible passion and insanity of our schedules. I’m trying to compile a list of those PUMAs who were there, announced or unannounced, so please email me if you were. Please share your stories and impressions of people you met with those who were keeping the homefires warm.
All your postcards went out. I think you’ll like what you get. Don’t forget to share them with your peeps here on the blog.
PS – NO ONE had commemorative Post Cards – NO ONE.

This is the ONLY argument Obama supporters have:

We’ve had 16 years of Bush’s 8 years of Reagan, and OMG, Roe-v-Wade IS STILL HERE!!!
I am not a troll but if you want to keep calling me a troll then so be it.

Hey, TexasTigress….I understand your position completely and respect it fully.
I’m replying to TX Dem only because she’s trying to sway people AGAINST McCain/Palin and I’m too jubilant right now to restrain myself.
hahaha #450 Oscap, I know you don’t mean this as haha funny but your post cracked me up!! I’m a diehard Fox watchin’ Republican and you PUMA friends are making my day … well, besides the Palin news! LOL

I am thrill to death about this news. DNC…..you bought this all on yourselves for not giving Hillary the respect that she deserves. So get on your knees and bowed down to all PUMA’s…..BO doesn’t have a chance now, or ever. My
voted for Hillary in May during the Primary’s, but now my vote goes to McCain in Nov. No BO in Nov.
McCain is full of surprises! I am so happy about the news of Palin being his VP. The Dems are so stupid. They could have won this election if Hillary was on top. BUT NOOOOO! It’s okay, i can wait four more years. McCain/Palin 2008 Hillary 2012!!! I think McCain is playing his pawns very well!!
And if the Dems wanna attack Palin on experience just look at who they anointed as President!! They can’t say anything!!! The VP is the place were you get on the job training! Not as PRESIDENT!!!! STUPID STUPID DEMS!!
A vote for McCain is a vote Obama will never get.

You make me smile with your comment and I agree with you 100%.
Alaska has a lot of democrats but majority of the time they vote for Republicans for a simple reason, people in Alaska are CONSTITUTIONALISTS, they’re not bible thumpers. Republicans in Alaska are different, “to each his own.” They’re particular about right to privacy.
#479 LivingGrace: I totally agree.
Surely, we are all smarter than what the crumbs of “abortion rights” do for us.
#484 jennforhillary
Stupid Dems?!! You are for Hillary and you say that? You are not a dem.
All of you people don’t even know who you are. You are just all full of spite.
Wow this has really excited my daughters. Thanks John McCain. You have given them HOPE again
I’m changing my name to ‘hillfan4palin’ !
I’m around and can moderate for a bit. Please email me with your concerns about inappropriate posts or members instead of posting them on the blog.
We need to understand this is an emotional, pivotal time and we all need time to absorb, evaluate, discuss and vent. Murphy said yesterday that because of this, we will relax the usual social rules with the exception of outright endorsing a candidate (against PAC laws) or overly-promoting a personal choice.
Please keep this in mind and be wonderful to each other. We are in this together or standing all alone with no party and no choice.

LivingGrace @@@@@@@@@ I just thought you were upset because we were celebrating johns VP. I thought you were feeling we were forgetting Hillary. Gosh, my dear friend, was just worried about you. guess i misunderstood. which makes no difference really. I love you no matter what…you rock !!!
471 zephyr Thanks for the poll !
Everybody – go vote on that poll!!!
BROOKLYN – I know – I am all kinds of wooo hooo !
Obama has already dissed Sarah as a woman – OMG he is such a stupid, stupid man –
He truly is an empty suit…………………………… nothing there……….but air
How ’bout a “PUMA For Palin” t-shirt ???????
WAIT!!! Do you hear that LOUD SPUTTERING sound? It’s the Obama campaign bus running out of gas! LMAO!
Damn, I was so excited for a moment. The first thing the MSM was touting was everything OPPOSITE of how I really feel. Damn. On the surface this looks good but Im not comfortable with voting for a McCain/Palin ticket based on the early early information.
i am done here. goodbye.
Thank you McCain for helping us fight back at the misogynistic DNC. You just got more women votes. Bold move. Kudos!!!
McCain / Palin 2008
Hillary 2012 !!! PERIOD.
I own my vote.
I LOVE PUMAS!
TX DEMOCRAT
WE WILL ALWAYS BE HERE FOR YOU.
That being said, it really makes me angry that they are all talking about how she has NO experience.
That is NOT true. She has been a governor and a mayor.
The O camp said all she was is a moyor for a town of 9000….gee isn’t that the same amount of people who voted for Biden this year??
#490 TX Democrat
by definition a troll is someone who posts controversial messages with the intention of provoking others and disrupting the flow of a message board. If the shoe fits, wear it.

#443 TX Democrat
Word of advice.. the PUMAS are growing hungry. You probably should go and find another place to play. You are starting to cross the line.. just do the smart thing and go away. Really, you won’t be happy here and that kind of stress is not good for anyone.
Just a thought – can Hillary take Pelosi’s spot? I would actually love it!!
#447 TexasTigress good I am glad someone even if it was Rove said something about it others should to. Not to mention as I said earlier being mayor of small county is a heck of a lot more then BO has done. The man on fox just said they shouldn’t have gone there with her (about lack of experience) it could come back to bite him. I mean I understand that if something was to happen to McCain she would be President but she is only going to be VP BO wants to be president and he has NO experience that is much scary then this woman being VP.
CRASH!!! The glass ceiling just shattered! What Hillary started Sarah finished. Well it looks like the Republicans are ready to take women seriously! Damn this makes my day, my week my month, Hell it makes my year. McCain is really a different kind of Republican.

And you expect BO and the MSM to suddenly start telling the truth because……
(The sarcasm wasn’t directed at you)
I think it’s dangerous when any group such as Puma, who considers itself progressive, spews venom towards anyone who asks substantive questions about blindly supporting a republican. There are many puma democrats who will not vote for McCain.
I’ve been around a while, I’ve voted in many an election in my time, and this is not the election that I will be voting republican. No way. I believe in the same principles that Hillary does, which is one reason I came here back in June. I hope people here will continue to leave room for those who support Hillary but may not want to vote for McCain.
I’ve been posting here since almost day one, and the evolution of this blog’s conversation has been interesting. I hope everyone will remember that one of the values our nation holds dear is the freedom to disagree, and to discuss our differences among one another.
#496 TexasTigress
I’m just really frustrated… I think I’m voting third party, I really do.
HRC cannot take the speaker of the HOUSE because HRC is in the Senate (where she needs to be) and not the House.
Hey Hillary as Secretary of Health, Secretary of State, Secretary of Defense……..you name it. She can do it. Whatever she wants to do, I am sure McCain will grant.
Hillary, this is for YOU. I know you would approve if you were allowed to speak your real mind. You and Bill (and 18+million of us) all know BO is terrible for our country. This sets HRC up to run and WIN in 2012.
Women, this is OUR YEAR. this is OUR TIME! WE are the ONES we have been WAITING FOR! Ha, BO, in yer face!

TX Democrat on 08.29.08 at 12:04 pm I am not a troll but if you want to keep calling me a troll then so be it.
I don’t mean to be disrespectful, but sometimes we have to cross the lines and see what is on the other side, meaning, voting for a Republican. Republicans made history today by giving a chance to a women, not because of her gender, it is because they wnat to make a difference in this country too, and why not? McCian is a different men, and I will give my vote!
I was not accussing you of anything, I just asked a question, you can talk to me.
You guys, obviously the Democrats are going to be scared of a woman doing anything. They were scared of Hillary who is 5 times the candidate as BO being president. Yeah let the Dems bring out their misogyny machine, we know they have a big one, and let’s see where it gets them.
Well …it’s definite…..I’m a lifetime Democrat…but I will vote For McCain/Palin….She got more experience than Barrack Hussein Obama. I can not trust Obama; let alone put him in as commander in chief!
#205 Go Hillary Go – I totally agree that this is PUMA at work. I posted the other night also that I called the McCain camp and talked about PUMA and Hillary supporters, and suggested that if they chose a woman, they’d beat Obama. I’ll bet hundreds of others did too. I am sure that McCain is aware of PUMA.
I would also suggest that since Hillary and McCain are longtime close friends, she has put a bug in his ear. (And he has a long history of taking advice from both parties.)
I have NO problem with the experience level. She is a two time GOVERNOR for God’s sake. How is that LESS experience than Obama? Also, she actually WORKS in her role, and has built an impressive resume in a short time. Obama has done precious little in his years in government, other than forge questionable associations with questionable shady figures.
I wanted to say that it still remains that – in light of lawsuit pending and what we know about caucus fraud – it isn’t sealed for Obama. Hillary could still end up with that nomination if he is ousted. (Okay – I’m a die-hard Hillary fan! LOL)
I’m thrilled with this pick. Obama campaign is already grasping at straws – saying Palin is in the pocket of big oil. Idiots need to do their research. It is quite the contrary.
John McCain introducing Palin.

I have no “reason” to vote for BO. If you do than go for it ~
By the way Palin has 80% favorability in Alaska.
Also it might be more difficult for Hillary in 2012 but I have no crystal ball so will have to stick with McCain/Palin
NobamaNetwork.com is now working with McCain HQ to do whatever we can to elect McCain. He will be a one term President and then Hillary 2012. Funny thing, no American flags at the Dem convention. He really seems to have a problem showing support for America
(((((((((((((((((living grace)))))))))))))))))))))))
what I meant by wrong was that we were all here for Hillary…I believe we are…silly puma……I love you
u got mail
1gypsy4:
What I want to see is for HRC to be named Senate Majority Leader.
I would say that the precious’s campaign is going to have to tread very carefully – they were quick to scream racist but sexism could come back to bite them in the a$$ even more quickly especially after what they did to Hillary………………………….
Did you hear Gerry Ferraro – said PUMAS are 1/3 of the 18 million that will never vote for Obama……………….
The fact is that Obama could have won had he let go of his arragonce and put HIllary on his ticket. Many of her supporters would have pulled the lever for him at that point but he had his nose in the air. McCain swooped in and did an amazing move. He realized that hell has no fury like a woman scorned and he just got those votes. I wonder if Obama is having a temper tantrum right now?
Here it is … McCain’s on stage!!! WOOO HOOO!
No way, No how, NObama!!
Just testing to see if my post shows up…anyone else having problems posting?

How funny, I’ve been doing that too..except it’s pigs i’ve been chasing, not chickens!

Obama camp statement: insulted Alaska, women, mayors, and small town USA.
Way to go Oblahma camp.
Interesting, Palin is the only one to have executive experience. McCain, Biden, and Obama are legislators, and she is governor. Well, VP candidate…
Firechief….
PUMAs don’t care about personal voting choices. Except to not vote for Hobo. Texas was being accusatory and combative. It wasn’t her/his message, it was her/his tone
McCain/Palin – BO plays basketball, McCain plays chess…CHECK….
The ticket is backwards. It should be Palin/McCain but I can live with it!!
#515 firechief
firechief – I am supporting McCain/Palin, but I in no way question your decision to do whatever you decide to do, nor do I expect you to blindly support anyone.
I’ve searched my conscience; this is what I came up with – not blindly, but very carefully with eyes wide open after gut-wrenching soul-searching. I know you are doing the same and I completely respect that and commend you for it.
#497 Susie1945: Remember him trying to pull that “race card” on McCain? SMACK DOWN!
When Obama starts this AGAIN – the world will get it this time, because McCain will let him have it with both barrels!
It is a crying shame that it took the Republicans to Smack Down sexism, bias, and corruption in our own party.
Finally, what the Democratic Party used tax-payer money to cover up about Obama, McCain will expose!

No HRC will not and cannot be the speaker of the House. She is a Senator and not a member of the House of Representatives. Only a member of the House of Representatives in the majority party can be elected by his/her peers as speaker of the house.
# 515 Agreed Firechief…..I would never tell anyone to sit down and shut up like the Dems did to Hillary. Vote for whom ever you want and let’s all fight to make sure out votes are counted.

I’m around and can moderate for a bit. Please email me with your concerns about inappropriate posts or members instead of posting them on the blog.
We need to understand this is an emotional, pivotal time and we all need time to absorb, evaluate, discuss and vent. Murphy said yesterday that because of this, we will relax the usual social rules with the exception of outright endorsing a candidate (against PAC laws) or overly-promoting a personal choice.
Please keep this in mind and be wonderful to each other. We are in this together or standing all alone with no party and no choice.
I was really late to the previous post, so I apologize for moving this here (off topic), but good for McCain.
With respect to President, my choice is Cynthia McKinney. I invite all readers to the Green Party home page: http://www.gp.org/. McKinney is definitely left-of-center and may not be a comfortable fit for all PUMAs. However, if you are thinking strategically…
The McKinney/Clemente ticket is going directly after the alleged Obama base. The Republicans have plenty of money. Help the smaller parties with your donations and ballot-access petition signatures. Demand they be included in the debates. For those of you who know the FACTS about McKinney (not the crazy rumors–she has been a lower-profile target of outright fabrications and distortions than HRC, but a target nonetheless), admit it: you would LOVE to see McKinney on the stage next to Obama, calling him out and calling him, in so many words, a fool.
This might be a better stream..

I’ve been reading your comments and you are so obviously an Obama Supporter. The Democrats will look like fools if they go after Palin on Experience…Wasn’t it Obama and the DNC that said Experience doesn’t matter? Palin has done more for her State than Obama could ever dream of doing for Illinois. Can you name any of Obama’s accomplishments? I can name a few…Playing dirty Chicago Politics…Reading Speeches that someone else wrote for him…Using a Teleprompter…Stealing Hillary’s ideas and using them as his own…flip flopping…flip flopping and more flip flopping on the issues…playing the Race card…should I continue? Is that the Experience you want in your President?

E. All of the Above
: )
Please remember that a governor having an 80% favorability in Alaska is not that surprising, given that she’s a republican. Alaska is a very conservative state.
Don’t be swayed by little factoids they throw out like that. They don’t mean a thing unless you look at their context.
Be critical thinkers, pumas.
I’m just sayin.’

Love your depiction of the Great Pretender. Cartoon away dear, this guy is a joke.
McCain just mentioned WOMEN SUFFRAGE!!!!!!!!!! YESSSSSS
#554 hillfan4mccain
all of the above!!
I’m sorry to se TX Puma forced out. We PUMAs have to be able to accept differences of opinion.
She was no troll. She was a democrat with a lot on her mind. Forcing her out only weakens us.
Hillary always accepted being inclusive to others. So do I. I think we need to watch this or we will end up a group that doesn’t allow democracy.
Based on her resume, Palin may play better basketball than Obama!!!
Dang, this is one historical day, for woman and for Republicans!!
I’m sitting here crying over this!! I’m so happy!
For those of us who are voting McCain, take pride for taking steps through the door that Hillary has opened. And McCain is guarding.
He said, she does’nt let anybody tell her to sit down
Wow, I cannot say how excited I am about JM’s VP. The air has just been sucked out of the #61 campaign. I am puma all the way but will give my whole support to JM. No way #61 in our whitehouse.
I have to get to work now, but DAMN what a day! I set my Tivo to record MSNBC before I left so I can FF through the stuttering sexist east coast centric idiots trying to fathom what just happened. Haaaahaaa haaaaa un demure cackle!!!!

Alaska is not conservative..or maybe your take of “conservative” they’re jeffersonians. I’ve lived in Alaska for many years, people there are Constitutionalist, they don’t believe in political correctness, they’re very particular about the right to privacy guaranteed in the constitution under our Bill of Rights. People in Alaska are not bible thumpers.
God I am crying again. How many times this week? gheezzzzzz
What a beautiful handsome family. I love the music too.

You really need to quit – go back to the dungeon where you belong.
Do you have any idea how pathetic you sound?
NObama was a loser and now it’s confirmed!!!
He ran Hillary to the ground unfairly, with the help of all his minions.
now they can all go die of embarassment
Hillary will always be my first choice, but McCain makes PUMA’s feel wanted. He is actively courting us.
McCain is a nam vet like my hubby and Palin is a ball busting Women who was born on my birthday, Feb. 11th…yessss.
And, Palin’s husband is good looking to boot !
566 – I as told she can shoot the hoops from Alaska and have it get right in the basket at Akron, OH High School basket That is a 3000000000000000000th pointer
Her husband is rather cute
I’m crying too! And she even wears glasses!! LOL What a gal!!
In your face, Obama!!
Now – to expose the caucus fraud!!!
GOD – listen to that crowd. Some man yelled “Thank you McCain!” at Sarah P’s name – guess this puts to rest the old tired line that all Republicans are sexist.
Can I still change My party affiliation!
This Might Do It for McCain
By Geraldine Ferraro
Former Democratic Vice Presidential Candidate/FOX News Political Contributor
It’s going to be a very interesting campaign. I must say that several months ago I said that it would be great if there was a woman on the ticket — that I felt that John McCain would have to pick someone, especially if Hillary was the nominee. But without Hillary being the nominee it’s really quite equally as important because people are looking for a smart campaign and I think this might do it.
There are a lot of women who are disaffected by how Hillary was treated by the media, by how she was treated by the Obama campaign, by how she was treated by the Democratic National Committee — [Democratic party chairman] Howard Dean not speaking up when sexism raised its ugly head in the media. They’ll be looking to see what happens now.
Historic day, and how nice is it to see a campaign show respect for women!!!!! I hope the news media has learned their lesson about the way they speak of women. Being involved in this election my most proud accomplishment. I have met so many amazing women. We lost round one, but we did not lose the war!
Did you like McCain’s “will never be told to sit down” remark?
Note to Obama: Palin wearing large flag pin in lapel.
Her husband is VERY cute. And a “world champion snow-machine racer”?? LOL
Oh my God, I love her already!!
#534 kai – lots of traffic on the blog today
The idiots on CNN can’t swallow what just happened.
They keep harping about her non-experience.
One just said that NObama has 4 years in the Senate – NOT!!!
Actually, Palin has executive experience.
They’re freaking out over there.
You never heard USA chants at Obama fest
Do you think this was what Hillary meant when she said keep on running, never give up. Could she have had inside information?
Hillary Clinton please, we need you now!!!

Her kids are all named after the characters on Charmed !!!! Carrie will love this now !!!!!
I can see the commercials now. Biden at the convention, Obama on the trail telling voters that McCain opposes equal pay for Women, then of course, followed by…Sarah Palin!
LMAO – What a great morning after that BS of a convention.
PUMAs, its a new day and the sun is shining. I hope you all regroup and get behind McCain. I want to see Hillary in the White House in 2012.

Way to go JOHN… He gets it; the Democrats don’t. We need women in top spots..
I wanted Hillary to be President, but the DNC stole that from her.
I told my husband the first of the week, that the smartest move McCain could make was to pick a woman for VP.
I am so happy for Governor Sarah Palin.

She reminds me of HIllary!!!!!!!!!!! Wow I’ll bet Howard Dean is stuck in the bathroom right now.
PUMA ALERT PUMA ALERT PUME ALERT
This is Mama Puma
Is is inappropriate to claw at each other. Disagreement can be civil and polite. Do not make accusations about each other.
The focus must stay on the issues and off of each other.
History is being made each and every day.
Palin represents a genuine dilemma because she dramatically strengthens Senator McCain’s ticket among women voters and invites disenchanted Hillary supporters to join up. On the other hand it is an immense tragedy that the DNC created the situation that this immerges from. Hillary should be the first woman president.
Be extraordinarily kind to each other.
Love

#591 NobamaNetwork – OMG, I never thought of that. Disgusting.
Hey Mac,
Michelle O. couldn’t care less, she hates Hillary anyways. I would love to be with Hill and Bill, I bet their laughing their arses off.

This just in … Obama rushed to the hospital after eating too much dirt.
Mama-
we need a prowl! We have to jump on the DNC about this now.
Folks, I had to take a little time out from the special news report on ABC regarding Ms. Palin being McCain’s VP choice to report something of a first for myself… I have a little bitty tear running out my eye.
If first impressions mean anything, I am going to like this Sarah Palin more than I have ever liked a politician in my life. I’m sure this moment will recede slightly as time goes by. But for now, I LOVE Sarah Palin.
Okay, time to get back to the telly and Ms.Sarah Palin speak.
Oh, and by way… Thank you Hillary Clinton for making this moment possible.
Hey DWP.
Can you do a poster with Super McCain?
I like her vibe! She seems real and full of energy!
McCain chose a woman –Now that’s my kind of man!
Just a thought about someone’s earlier post (re. Palin considered whether or not to have her 5th baby, knowing he had Downe’s syndrome):
Although she is against “pro-choice”, if the earlier post was accurate, then she still practiced being “pro-choice” and made her own personal decision accordingly. That is what being pro-choice is all about.

Hill and Bill
the others, I know, they’re probably into fits and MO’s fist must be broken by now from the punches.
this just in:
Howard Dean removed his nose from BO rear and slapped him.
She did it. she acknowledged Hillary.
Honors Geraldine and Hillary and 18 million cracks. This woman has class.
WOW!!! What a woman!!
OMG Palin gave credit to Hillary !!!
She said “Hillary left 18 million cracks left, and the women are not finished yet and we will shatter that ceiling once and for all”
Gotta love her !!!
Ok she just got me, now i’m crying!
YESSSSSSS!!!!!! Obama just loaded his pants.
She gave kudos to our HILLARY!!!!!!!!!
#618 NJPUMA – did he say that? I heard the about the suffrage, but not that…She is talking about Geraldine and Hillary!!!!! 18 million cracks – women aren’t finished yet!! WOW!!
WHOOOOOOOOOOPPPPP
Playing HOOKIE and PALIN just GAVE IT UP FOR HILLARY!!
CAN YOU HEAR ME YELLING FROM HOUSTON!!!
WHOOOOOOOPPPPPPP GO GO GO GO
OMG!!! you go SARAH!!!!!
OMG!!!! Sarah made me cry, she paid HOMAGE TO HILLARY and GERALDINE FERRARO!!!!!
What a breathe of fresh air this woman is!! Especially next to Biden!!
I can’t wait for the debates!!
she just gave shout outs to Hill and Gerry … 18 mill. cracks and it’s not over !
#585 jrhed I was thinking the same time.
God they could not have made up a better person I think she is wonderful she is a tough woman and I really like her. Loved the bridge comment, no thanks if we wanted a bridge we’ll build one..lol. She is funny she is tough she is awesome, as for first impression I AM VERY IMPRESSED.
Whoa!!! Out of the ballpark Sarah!!!
oh, she mentioned the anniversary of women’s suffrage … Oh, I love her!!!!
I love her!! John McCain is a maverick and a genius!! She did appeal to us and gave Hillary her due. Thank you Sarah Palin.
It is so OOOOOver for BOOOOOOO
We have all been blessed! This WAS McCain’s nod to Hillary and his enormous respect for her.
Well okay then -she is not Hillary – but damm – she is a classy woman – played tribute to both Gerry ferraro & to our lady Hillary -
I like her
I am sobbing…this is just too much. She said it and she meant it….
Hillary is FINALLY getting some KUDOS….and Geraldine too….
GOD DAMN this is so sweet thank you PUMAS and thank you REPUBLICANS….

You Go Girl!!!
In America we honor our pioneers!

Can some one tell me what is being said in MSNBC?
I have CheapNN covered.
SARAH IS AWESOME…LOVED THE PART WHERE SHE CONGRATULATED GERALDINE AND HILLARY…The repubs have more respect for Hillary than the dems ever will…Hillary used to be a Repub..maybe she should switch back!!
i told you we should support john mccain!!
some hesitated and wanted to sit on the fence..i came out swinging for mccain
she is very good..her speech beats what’s-his-name by a mile!
#637 jenniforhillary lol it’s cool we won’t tell anyone. You deserve a break this is great….
I love that she spoke of GERALDINE and our HILLARY, I know it was for our benefit but she was wonderful about it and I think went over and beyond and show HIllary the damn respect she deserves and never got from her own PARTY…
I LOVE her!!!!! That was the BEST speech I’ve heard so far. 80% approval in her home state AND she honored Gerry Ferraro and Hillary clinton and recognized the anniversary of the Suffragist’s gaining womens’ right to vote!! I know who I am voting for.
OMG, OMG, OMG!
I actually had tears in my eyes as Sarah gave a shoutout to Geraldine and Hillary.
Hillary vs. Sarah in 2012.
Next to Hillary being the POTUS, I am thrilled.
PUMA!
Puma family, our voices have been heard. Country first, party second.
I think Palin makes a great compromise and will help heal the wounds. This is a great day. Any minute now Obama will open his big stupid mouth and try to rain on it. Obama has just been outshined.
DEAN, PELOSI – CRY NOW, you have skipped the best chance for Demo to win 08. Without Hillary, it has to be another that McCain picked up. McCain you are nice to think about what millions people want.
FOX – Repub. VP pick more qualified than Dem Pres pick. LMAO
sarah will be hillarys avenging angel!
It’s gonna have to be Hillary Now!!!
Is anyone out there listening?
Hillary, please?
I am a guy and after a very long time I am crying too!
FOX just read a very critical statement from SuperBo about Sarah’s limited experience. A woman McCain staffer says: “When will BO learn not to demean women’s experience?” You gotta love this!!
PROUD to be voting for John Mccain and Sarah Palin…
PROUD to be waiting to vote for My PRESIDENT Hillary Clinton in 2012…
Even Prouder to NOT BE SUPPORTING THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY…..
Susan B. Anthony would be proud to vote for Sarah Palin, and so will I!!
WOW… I am speechless. GRRRRRRRRRRREAT!
I wouldn’t at all be surprised if McCain picks Hillary to be a part of administration!!
Odumbo’s camp is already talking about her ‘lack’ of experience …. what a mowron!! McCain just made history and BO has chose to pooh pooh it … what a smack in the face to all women!
Any of you woman over there in Obama Land that wants a real winner, come on over to the right side-
McCain just chose a woman!!!
Obama camp is poking fun at Palin now – how a person who is governor of a state with a small pop is now a step from the president.
One pundit pointed out that Obama has nerve making fun of a woman after his record, and nerve making fun of small town Americans.
Lyrics to song playing in background behind Palin:
“Don’t wanna wait til tomorrow, Why put it off
another day? One more walk through problems, Built
up, and stand in our way ,ah One step ahead, one
step behind me Now you gotta run to get even Make
future plans, don’t dream about yesterday,
hey C’mon turn, turn this thing around Right now,
hey It’s your tomorrow Right now, C’mon,it’s
everything Right now,”
Wow. For a pac that’s not about being a McCain web site this morning’s posts are, just, wow! But, I get it.
Changing the subject a little…
# 36 bmw – interesting story. i’d like to know what the woman DID about what she witnessed? did she report it? is there any documentation or record of it? without that, such tales can’t be elevated to anything substantial, which is a bummer. let me know if you know if she reported what she presumably witnessed. thanks.
Per a few notes at the top of murphy’s thread:
Can someone tell me who Tucker Carlson is? I’d like to incorporate this into what i’m working on? Also, which network is he with (I assume he’s a tv guy, but maybe not, maybe print media)? And, is Chris Matthews with MSNBC? Any other specific examples of sexist comments by the media would be appreciated. (Elaine, were you working on this a couple of months ago?)
Also from the top of the thread: “Entire state delegations were brow-beaten into voting Present or Passing their votes to other states.” Murphy, or anyone, can you elaborate more specifically to translate this emotional language into more fact-based evidence so I can incorporate it into what I’m working on?
Thanks.
OOOOOOoooooooooooooo I am so grateful to McCain now for giving Palin a chance. YESSSSSSSSSSSS!
Had obama chosen Hillary I would have been ‘very’ worried that he could win. NOW that McCain has stood up and thanked all of the Hillary supporters by choosing Palin I think he deserves ((applause))
I have no party. As far as I am concerned the Democratic Party is gone. I will now work in Mccains office here in Nevada,I think his choice of Palin was a great choice and as i write this there are several women here puting together a BarBQ for Mccain/Palin.
obama..you fool..you really blew it with the women of america..youll pay dearly for your treatment of hillary!!
I’m so very very angry with the DNC. Instead of Democrats, the “women friendly” party, standing on the stage and taking the credit, vis a Hillary Clinton, for putting a woman in office, we handed it to the Republicans.
Palin paid due respect to Hillary Clinton’s achievements – recognized her efforts and the fact that being a VP is possible for her due to Hillary Clinton, something that the DNC never did.
Who would have EVER thought that the REPUBLICANS would be the first to celebrate the power of women.
I am heartbroken, as a Democrat, as a Hillary Clinton supporter, and as a mother.
The REAL SHOW has started.
It will be interesting to see what Hillary thinks of Palin.
I will base my vote based on what Hillary thinks.
If she likes Palins stances then that is enough but I don’t want Palin to overshadow Hillary.
I sure want to help Sarah become first woman VP. However, I will still work for Hillary to be the first women Prez!
oh, and PROUDESt to be a PUMA…
I love you all…without Murphy and the PUMA TEAM I would have lost my mind in the last few months…
NOW, let’s get out there and FIGHT and Change and bring HOPE for real to this country…..
I hope we have a PROWL tomorrow….
thanks murphy…thanks for everything!!
I am crying because I soo hate it for Hillary.She deserves this chance so much! and they cheated her out of it…
674 mick – I heard him say near the beginning of his speech that he believes in reaching across…..and they are friends (Hillary and Mc).
#674 mick – I had the same thought exactly re Hillary. Hillary as secretary of state perhaps??? She’d be GREAT. It would put her in good position for the 2012 bid too.
Say thanks personally to Mike Huckabee, Mitt Romney, Pawlenty and Lieberman and let them know we are there with them to do the right thing
Nothing, they’re off the air …. due to choking on their kool-aid.

Ok.. for those of you worried about Hurricane Gustav.. I can give you an update from Texas. I just got off my conference call. Texas is expecting this to be a Catagory 3 or higher. They are expecting this to be a very dangerous storm, the tract at this time is unpredictable. We are positioning all of our resources to help the Texas Coastal area’s.
If any PUMA’s live in the Texas, LA coastal area’s please start planning now for your evacuation.. do not wait. Make sure you have food, water and please fill up your vehicle’s with fuel today. Please listen to your local media and be prepared to go. Also, please take care of your pets.
I will be working most of the weekend and will report what I can. Blessings to you all and stay safe.

McCain must be loving today – he did Great!!!
John McCain just delivered the death blow to the Obama Movement and the DNC. Goodbye Howard.
Millions of Democrats will now vote for McCain with Happiness and Pride.
This is a devastating day for the Democratic Party and I am DEVASTATED.
I agree with everyone — Sarah Palin seems like an excellent, competent governor as well as being a gracious, brave, and sincere person. I’d LOVE to have a beer with her.
But honestly, HOW DARE THE DNC HAVE BROUGHT US TO THIS? HOW DARE THEY?
I always knew McCain would beat Obama, now I know it will be a LANDSLIDE.
Folks, we could lose Congress with this.
SO — vote for McCain/Palin with joy in your hearts. How can I say otherwise? She was very classy to acknowledge Hillary and Ferraro. McCain was very brave and classy to choose her.
BUT — we still NEED the Democratic Party.
Howard and Obama have now succeeded at not only losing us the White House, but they have actually brought us to the brink of irrelevancy for the Democratic Party altogether.
We MUST STAY UNITED AS DEMOCRATS. Even if we are voting McCain/Palin.
Played like a piano. Thanks so much Howard.
GRACE….I can’t believe how happy I feel…..sorrow that it can’t be hillary’s day but THANKFUL and HAPPY…
Now, the fight begins….bring it on ’cause I think McCain and Palin can WHOOP SOME ASS!!!
GOOOOOOOOOOOOO GIRL POWER!!!
CNN is saying they are getting a lot of positive emails about Palin. Let’s give them more.
#682 Maryland PUMA – I don’t mean to offend anyone here, just wanted to say that when I left the Dem party in 2000 a big reason was because I started to see through the old ‘party for women’ nonsense. The Dems were just as sexist as everyone else in the end.
I hope people like PUMAs can change the whole Dem party so it IS pro-women again. Maybe when Hillary is President?
Spokesman Bill Burton:
“Today, John McCain put the former mayor of a town of 9,000 with zero foreign policy experience a heartbeat away from the presidency…
Obama was caught in an uncharacteristic moment of loose language. Referring to working-class voters in old industrial towns decimated by job losses, the presidential hopeful said: “They get bitter, they cling to guns or religion or antipathy to people who aren’t like them or anti-immigrant sentiment or anti-trade sentiment as a way to explain their frustrations.”
His remarks are elitist and out of touch.”
Obama hates small town America. He never learns
Sarah has a PAL-IN PA……………..ME!
I like her work ethic….she should go over great with Blue Collar workers!
Did some feel a huge storm go from Alaska, by pass South Chicago show up at Dayton, Ohio and strenghten and head now to South Chicago. Wow! this is great!
This will make it so much easier for my senior citizen pals all over Broward County here in Florida that were mad at NOBO for what he did to their girl – they said they wouldn’t vote for him but now it will be easier to vote for McCain/Palin.
I can’t wait to get their reaction.
They all have cable, all condo associations have it, even 55+ ones.
They’re all informed.
re#698
murphy
welcome on board!!
..glad to see you’ve seen the light about supporting john mccain/sarah palin!
Could you guys have Sen Kay Bailey put out a word of congratulations to Sarah and McCain ticket and bum out the CheapNN talk?
Murphy – the Democratic Party is no longer the Democratic Party. It has died; I now belong to the Puma Party!!!
The VP pick is exciting for so many reasons already stated. At the same time, let’s not forget that politicians are politicians. The McCain campaign, which now includes Palin, know they have to reach out to disaffected Dems and have an edge over Obama. They know what they need to say to woo us. But, just as we’ve been suspicious of Obama’s “words”, no reason not to maintain at least some degree of caution regarding any politician’s “words”. Also, it seems we’ve made lots of comments in recent days related to Obama’s whole build up to his VP and the ultimate selection of Joe Biden that “we don’t vote for vp, we vote for the president”. So, a bit hard to change our tune now, no?
I agree, there is no doubt this pick was very strategic and energizes his campaign and makes his candidacy more viable most likely. But, at least for me, I can’t allow myself to be sucked in overnight because McCain picked a woman. She doesn’t have a lot of experience and I don’t yet know what her stance is on very important issues. Trying to remain steady in all of this…..
PA Guy — yup. I feel like I know women like Sarah Palin. In fact, I do — they may not be governors, but they are smart, funny, hardworking women with families and ambitions.
This is HUGE HUGE BAD NEWS for the DEMOCRATIC LEADERSHIP.
I have to tell you, at first I thought the main reason he picked her was because shes a woman. But after hearing her speak..She was AWSOME! And, I am a lesbian, and i have to say, for once some eye candy! lol…Great choice. And I love it when she acknowledged Hillary. I am telling you I am fired up all over again about this election.
FOX: Johns B’day and Sarah’s 20th anniversary today.
I think there is symbolic value in picking a non-traditional candidate (not an old white male), so McCain’s VP pick of Mrs. Palin has some worth. I also am glad that pumapac.org allows for INTELLIGENT debate of our concerns and our voices. Please don’t attack me for my thoughts, but I want to share some thoughts with my fellow sisters:
BUT….
…didn’t Hilary say that we should support her issues, even if Hilary didn’t get the nomination? I am troubled by Mrs. Palin’s consevrative positions. Do we want to risk a fervent pro-lifer VP help McCain stack the U.S. Suprme Court with up to 3 far-right justices in McCain’s 1st term. This result WOULD have LONG-LASTING ramifications on our daughters, our granddaughters, and our country. Is picking McCain to punish the DNC & BO worth this?!
…McCain & Hilary both shared the attack on BO that he is not experienced enough. But I’m worried that McCain picking Mrs. Palin undermines this attack on BO. I read online that she has been the Governor since 2006, and before that was mayor of a small town (Wasilla, Alaska?) back in the mid or late 90’s.
….Also, I am concerned that McCain is older, and I say this as an elderly woman myself. He had some skin cancer issue a few months ago that the RNC tried to cover up. I LOVE the idea of a woman becoming president in my lifetime, BUT THIS woman seems to run contrary to a lot that I hold dear. I am proud to be pro-choice, I am proud to be anti-death penalty, and I LOVE that BO is talking about health care (even though Hilary blazed the way for this). I JUST DON’t think that Mrs. Palin is the right woman.
God bless pumapac.org, Hilary (in ‘12 or ‘16?), and let’s not lose sight of WOMEN’S ISSUES!
Sincerenly,
Joyce in NY
OH! By the way, I was just on McCains site and the trolls are freaking out! they are out full force and Ticked!
Wow they are already using her stance on abortion against the fact that she can get women voters!! When will they realize that is a dead issue.
THIS JUST IN … McCain’s new ad
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J6_1Pw1xm9U
680 sandipuma I am all over it! There is a group forming in Henderson, http://nv4mccain.wordpress.com/
I called the McCain camp yesterday and threw my site’s full support. Keep in touch!!!
Wow, even the women on MSNBC have positive things to say. This sealed the deal for me.
Mika B on MSNBC said she is in AWE of this woman I can’t believe it she gave a complaint and a lot more then just in awe of her. I think McCain made the right choice I really do . Her backround total blue collar workers , he husband Union Man, soccer mom , I say it again you couldn’t have made up a better person..
native girl – i hope you and others along the gulf coast take shelter, fast and stay safe. please keep us posted once the storm has passed to let us know you’re ok.
re#709 anna
what other choice do you have?
obama and biden?
Murphy–what is our prowl…I feel PURFECT FOR SOME PROWLING
Oh HAPPY Day, oh Happy Day….
and yes, sure, it’s all politics but the DEMS didn’t have the balls to let a woman lead, not even in 2nd place…..and the REPUBS did….and boy can she speak and lead…
WHOOOP baby boy is probably so dense he doesn’t realize the FIGHT IS ON!!!
Michelle does though…and you know her lower jaw is extended more than usual….and if ANYONE looks like Jackie O it would be Palin because at least her HEART is more similar (BTW if anyone compares MO to JO you are dense or blind or both)
To everyone in the path of storms. PLEASE BE SAFE!!!!
Hey PUMA’S!
We only have until the end of August to contribute to McCain/Palin. So in honor of Hillary, my check just went out.
Congratulations to Sarah, Hillary, Geraldine, Darraugh Murphy, and all women!
Work to do … need some voters for this poll
http://news.aol.com/elections
Dear Fedup144,
When you say about McCain’s pick of Mrs. Palin, “I am a lesbian, and i have to say, for once some eye candy! lol…Great choice.”…. Don’t you set back WOMEN’S RIGHTS about 30 years, when sexist men just looked at us with leering eyes, instead of listening to our words and looking into our hearts.
I’m fine you’re gay, but didn’t Mrs. Palin oppose same-sex marriage in Alaska?!
I’m confused about how I should feel… but thank you for this forum, pumapac.org.
-Joyce in NY
In a perfect world it would be a Hillary/Palin ticket…
What needs to be done to stop Obama!!!!!
Dear Pumas we have actually a 4 major actions pertaining to Obama to be on the top burner.
1. To keep him from becoming POTUS 2008
2. To keep him from becoming re-elected to the Senate 2010.
3. To have PUMA DEMOCRATS run against Obama and WIN the Senate Seat !!!!
4. To keep Obama from ever holding ANY future political office.
The case of Obama is just not a short term affair. We need to stop his advancement in Nov. as the first and foremost. But We need to stop also his re-election, IL PUMAS, from being re-elected in 2010 and from any future political position.
Why?? you may ask!
Well as long as Obama is in the Senate or in any political position he will continue to be a threat to Hillary and US with his corruption and control over the DNC. But if he can be sent packing to sit home and write his silly books and be forgotten like most of the failed Presidential and VP candidates of the Democratic Party. The Democratic Party has a history of a one shot chance and then they fade off into the mists. If the tide turns so drastically against Obama now and in the future the DNC will drop him like a hot potato. Let’s make that the Obama case, that he stays as a one-hit wonder and loses his popularity with the DNC, so that REAL PUMA DEMOCRATS can be the favored “child” of the Party and REAL CHANGE AND DEMOCRACY can be achieved, and finally get a REAL EXECUTIVE (Hillary…to just mention one) into the Executive position of the United States, that we haven’t had since Wm. Jefferson Clinton.
I have been studying Murphy’s comment/suggestion on NO OBAMA on the Top of the Ticket and all Dem down ticket. At first I believed that that would not punish the corruption of the DNC, but now have reconsidered that as proably the best ballot solution at this specific time. But to vote Dem after great consideration of who and what that candidate stands for.
Why did I change my opinion???
1. The McCain/Palin ticket now. Though I think it may have been the best decision he could make, and applaude his courage of a new face maverick female. I don’t believe it was simply a political manuevering to counter Obama and sway Hillary supporters to him even more, but as a former maverick hiself he reallyn truly wanted a conservative maverick to keep him in check. BUT !!! There are many concerns that it brings up: Abortion Choice Rights, and Gay and Woman Equality Rights !!!!! And Gov. Palin’s time abilities as a mother of a newborn boy with downs syndrome to give fully to US and the country without compromising the needs of the child (this is the least of the concerns, but a special needs child does need a mothers attention.)
2. Hillary as the Majority Leader of the Senate. For Hillary to be elegible for the position, that she could make the most use of her talents and have the most power over the Senate to impliment what is important to us and stop any of these “inequality” laws from seeing the light of day, as Majority Leader of the Senate, there will have to be a majority of Democrats in the Senate. So in order to protect our rights on specifically equality and social issues, and get the Majority Leader Position for Hillary, we will need to make sure there is a Democratic Majority. We will need to discretionarily “bite the bullet” on the down line Democrats and get them elected. EXCEPT FOR PELOSI !!!!
We need to be vidulent in understanding that our anger and disgust with the DNC BOSSES and OBAMA do not harm us in the short run.
As far as making the Democratic Party PAY for their corruption there are so so many more ways that we can affect the neccesary change after November and in the years to come. I know we want the changes already yesterday but bthis is going to be a long proccess. Let us just look at it this way, MLK and the Civil Rights Movement did not happen over night, it was some 50 years actually of activism. So now is our turn at Citizen Rights activism and movement. We all say and do things in the heat of the moment, but it is time to commit to the long run that will be needed for the movement to achieve success.
Joyce….before you post a comment research it first.
Palin is prolife PERSONALLY, but does NOT believe in governmental meddling between a doctor and a woman…
and if you are a tad bit unsure that she is not ready, than you should be GOD DAMN sure BO is not ready…
And did she ever tell anything about her new baby other than that the baby was born in April. She remained so positive and told what was important for USA to know, not anything painful about that experience. My point is, she did not exploit her sorrow but only her achievements. Does that not speak volumes of her?
If this poll was just posted 10 minutes ago (per AOL), how did it get over 200,000 hits already.

JOYCE..you are OUT OF THE LOOP GIRL…
go look up sexism and then come back and dicuss it. Commenting on someone’s attractiveness in a good way is a GOOD THING….esp. when it is prefaced by HOW FRIGGIN smart they are…
THIS IS OBOT FREE COUNTRY HERE….
Stardust … I LOVE the concept of a “PUMA Party.” — a party with no candidates, but chooses those who support our values of fair voting, and no sexism or racism.
This is fabulous! I love the idea that McCain picked Sarah Palin! Wow! Now the Dems are questioning her “inexperience”!! What a joke! She may be less experienced but she is not running for President. I believe she has more executive experience that Obama since she is a governor. I will very happily vote for McCain.
Ferraro accurately describes Puma platform in objective non-critical way!
The STUPIDS on CNN are saying that Palin opened the the feminist issue and that it will come back to haunt her – referencing Hillary and Geraldine and the 1800 cracks.
Well, well, didn’t the MSM and the ‘good ole boys’ open it up when it came to Hillary – and no one ever did anything about it.
Now the SOB’s think they will be able to use it against Palin!
I DON’T THINK SOOOOOOO
KEEP THE FAITH,

if obama would have had his way he would have let sarahs baby die alone in some dirty laundry room at a hospital
Anna7000,
yes, I’ve been collecting examples of sexism as well as information of voter fraud, and PUMA stories this week. I want to get all this posted for everyone. Stay tuned ….
pink puma – the choices suck. i live in a state that is solid blue. there’s no question it will go for obama, so i have the luxury (for lack of a better word) to vote for mc cain or a 3rd party candidate as a symbolic vote, and i will do that. if i lived in a battleground state, it would be a very tough choice. i don’t want to “reward” the democratic party for their behavior and neither do i want to live through four more years of misguided republican policy. as of today, the best compromise would be to obstain altogether so i would at least withhold my vote from obama (and i understand the math regarding this choice) while being able to live with myself as far as policy. i have been a democrat all my life because of the values and public policies i hold near and dear. it’s just not as simple as throwing all that out the window in order to send a message to the dnc via my vote. like i said, the whole situation sucks. the dnc screwed up royaly by selecting by dubious means the wrong candidate.
Hell, I think she’s hawt too and I’m a straight conservative!! Lol

We MUST not let that happen again!

Let’s not get all potty mouthed or pay attention to trolls. That “she’s not ready” junk won’t play and the Dems wouldn’t dare say that about her-since BO is much less experienced than Palin (and he is running for prez). Off to work again. Best, Lara08
Congratulations to Sarah, Hillary, Geraldine, Darraugh Murphy, and all women!
Dare I say that, as of today, the two major political parties in America are the PUMA Party and the Republican Party. The Democratic Party is now defunct.
Hi friends,
I was just thinking….. Since I know that Hillary and McCain are friends, I hope she knew his VP pick when she spoke at the D. convention. I hope she was getting the last laugh. And most of all, I hope that Hillary and Sarah are friends, too. This is the best day we have had in a long time and I am smiling from ear to ear.
Sarah is just what the doctor ordered for this Hillary girl.

McCain rocks! What a great selection to throw the Dems of course. I don’t know what makes me happier today…that McCain selected a woman VP or that the Dems can’t rest on their laurels after the Messiah’s speech last night. Serves them right for Edward’s endorsement of Obama on the heels of Hillary’s landslide WV primary win.
Lara08 – Yup. McCain’s pick is strategic in so many ways, including how hard it will be for the Dems to address anything pertaining to Palin’s limited experience, given BO’s lack of same. That said, the whole situation is one I find quite scarey. We have on the one had, a completely untenable candidate in Obama, and on the other hand a Republican, who’s old, with a history of serious medical issues with a running mate who’s got limited experience. Much as I want to jump for joy, especially after the emtional roller coaster of anger and frustration these past many months, I gotta try to stay grounded when I look at the choices we’ll have the fall. As far as I’m concerned, they both suck.

BTW , on the O site , they are calling her a bimbo and saying her voice is shrill etc – sound familiar ??
I live in New York. There are alot of Hillary people who will be voting for McCain. We may not go red, but we will make them notice. Also, NJ is in play from what I hear.
The best part is that this move completely made the O-Show reviews disappear from the front pages. I just checked the major online media in the US and Germany. This morning I was bummed because all I saw was O’s face plastered everywhere but now all I see is McCain and Palin. Ha! To think they wasted all that money on their big show and now nobody cares anymore. The O people must be maaaaad.

Chris Zarilla (sp?) of the Wah POst admitting on MSNBC that they had been taken by surprise by the Palin pick. Our ever clueless press.
I will still be the Year of the Woman!! I wish it was Hillary, but this Woman Sarah Palin is a great speaker and seems to know what she is talking about.
Oh no. I was having a hard time voting for McCain before this, but she has barely two years as a governor and was mayor of a town of only 6000 people before that. I always vote and really have to vote for someone so I’m going to have to vote for Ron Paul or maybe Nadar if he is on the ballot.
make that the Wash Post
#698 Murphy,
Ditto! Loved your post. As a former elected official and a long time Democrat, I do feel the Democratic Party really blew it this time around. I watched Sarah Palin put a nail in the O campaign big time. She said all the “right” things (I’m sure the script was examined). I smiled, laughed, and watched with pleasure the dynamics exploding right in front of our faces. I wish I could here Hillary right now. Did you hear Ferraro on Fox just prior to the speech? She was interviewed and mentioned the PUMA movement with accuracy and grace. She said there were three groups that were lost to the Democrats and we were one. Good for Geri. I’m going to write a letter to Ferraro again, today, and thank her for her words of wisdom and support. And I may even write a letter to Sarah Palin (20th wedding anniversary today) and wish her God speed even though I’m a dyed in the wool Democrat gone independent. Will I vote for McCain? I’m not there yet and probably won’t be. But I wish her well and much success in her quest for the people of this country.
well NY in response, NO, I don’t think that sets women back. Thats a rediculous comment. As far as the gay issue None of the candidates are for gay marriage including hillary and Obama. But, they are for the same benefits and rights for us as married couples. SO is McCain and so is Palin. Now, as far the atrractive part. I also thought hillary was atrractive. She is strong, independant and intelligent. ANd those ARE atrractive qualities in any woman. Palin showed that same strength and intelligence in her speech. I suppose if I were one of those straight women, who swooned over Bill Clinton and how handsome he was, or the many comments I hear women make. And one was on this site, about Mitt Romney being attractive, that would be ok?
Just listened to Chuck Todd drum on about what little experience Sarah Palin has to be a heart beat away from the Presidency.
She has more chief executive experience than Obama!!
Puma ladies and gents,
Congratulations to you all. This would not have happened without you and all your hard work.
Even as a moderate Republican, I found Hillary’s treatment a national disgrace. How she endured the convention with such grace will always be something I draw on in tough times. She was a bigger person than I can ever hope to be.
Any of you coming over to vote just this one time on the Republican ticket are welcomed with open arms.
Again, congratulations. I know it has been a rough road.
The Democratic Party have already lost the general election. What makes it hard for the democratic party is NObama’s 143 days in the US Senate and start running for President. NObama is the #1 most liberal in the US Senate (he doesn’t do well working with republicans and don’t have a history of doing it), Biden is the third MOST liberal in the US Senate.
What was used to be Democratic Party is now called Republican Party, those who are CONSTITUTIONALIST tend to vote for Republican. The Democratic Party if you study it carefully resembles socialist party of Europe. In Alaska, people never worry about Roe V. Wade, people there follow the US Constitution, The RIGHT TO PRIVACY supersedes political correctness in that state. When Sarah Palin said profit from oil goes back to the people, she meant PERMANENT FUND DIVIDEND given to EVERY MAN, WOMAN AND CHILD every year. That has been going on for years since oil was discovered in Alaska. Senior citizens who live in Alaska receive monthly pension from the state.

Will be back in a bit. I have to go pay my rent and phone bill.Got home from Denver late last night and have a headache.Will always love Hillary and the old Democratic Party but i have the sense to do whats right. Thats Mccain/Palin and Hillary would want us to do this. So no more crying or feeling sorry for ourselves. It is time to stand tall and do the right thing. Thats saying goodbye to BO,Dean,Pelosi,Reid,Brazil and a few more and be proud of what Mccain had done. We know this man. We know he is a Patriot.Palin as a Governor a women of whit and class and integrity,she will stand for us women along with Mccain.Got to love that twinkle in his eyes as he introduced Palin.
Posting on this site is becoming increasingly difficult (8 tries before I go #778 posted). What is the problem with the server? If we have this much traffic, we need an upgrade. Is it a money problem? If so, we PUMAs need to help out.
#768 andy85719 – I think that’s a great idea, to actually document these things so you remember and can cite them. They are numerous.
I also respectfully suggest that, as Joyce pointed out, we should not refer to each other in terms like “eye-candy”. As someone who spent much of my life trying to be taken seriously in spite of good looks, I believe such terms reduce us to the sum of our genatalia. We can’t have a believable voice fighting sexism if we use such language ourselve. Just friendly food for thought.
Update Palin oppose gay marriage but is the first to give gay partners all the benefits
Response from McCain Camp: Ha, this is going to be a good weekend!!
“McCain aide Jill Hazelbaker:
It is pretty audacious for the Obama campaign to say that Governor Palin is not qualified to be Vice President. She has a record of accomplishment that Senator Obama simply cannot match. Governor Palin has spent her time in office shaking up government in Alaska and actually achieving results — whether it’s taking on corruption, passing ethics reform or stopping wasteful spending and the ‘bridge to nowhere.’ Senator Obama has spent his time in office running for President.”
http://carpetride.wordpress.com/
If anything, on some level, McCain’s pick just reminds me, yet again, of how the dnc screwed up big time. This year should have been a shoe in year for the Dems. It should have been Clinton. She would have beaten McCain. We would have had a President we trusted with a platform we believe in.
The whole thing is so sickening.

Firechief & Anna, Agree, we’ve known all along (some of us anyhow) we’d vote for no one for Prez unless we can write-in Hillary. We can still vote in the lesser elections.
That said, EVERYONE on this blog is united on several fronts – including seeing Obama as the WRONG choice for America, and Hillary as the most qualified candidate who got trashed. I therefore heartily say to all my fellow PUMA’s vote your conscience, and do so with Pride.

“serious medical issues”
Hi Anna, I’m not sure what you consider “serious medical issues” but I don’t think a history of past skin cancer is a serious issue. Other than that his medical records shows that “McCain takes cholesterol medication, has a dab of arthritis, and recently had his earwax removed.” So, based on that I think he’s healthy enough to be POTUS.
civilityforusa – Even if we drive a SMART Car, does is still not equate to driving a car? DO you have to drive a HummV to prove that we can drive. Perhaps not? No offense meant but just a question to think aloud!
Thank you Bruce55555, I am excited about the pick. Its the first thing I have had to be excited about since I voted for Hillary.
Anna7000 – you never know how an election will turn out until it’s over.
Who knows but Obama will still become the “was the nominee” after something big hits the fan…
Q – Anybody got any news links to info that Bill Clinton met w/Rush Limbaugh recently, please post, & Thank you.
just watch..america is going to fall in love with sarah palin and the more obama attacks her the stronger her support will grow..
>>john mccain..you sly old fox..you made a good chocie there!
#761 HP Boston,
I gave Hillary as much money as I could also, and I worked tirelessly for her but I cannot let my country go to Obama and his corrupt ways, so I am supporting McCain in honor of Hillary. I don’t trust Obama and don’t want to ever see him in office.
We have to do what we feel is right, and I don’t think McCain / Palin can win without help financially. McCain has decided not to take federal matching funds for the final months of the campaign..at least that’s what I have read…
I am eager to do our action plans so hope we will have some soon…let’s keep our momentum going..
Sarah Palin is the most popular governor in the United States. Approval ratings are well over 80%.
TOPIC: Blogger imposters
On CNN’s pages this morning I’ve noticed several posters posting as “Ex-PUMA,” I think they are big fakes. People let’s watch out for these imposters & call them on it.
Too funny, they’re so threatened they have to ‘pretend’ they are / were a PUMA… You can see examples of these posters on both of the CNN pages about the new VP pick & McCain.
Some guy on Fox trying to say that we Clinton women are one issue voters, in other words Palin is not good because she’s pro-life. They still do not get it – WE DO NOT VOTE WITH OUR UTERUS!
Most important on my list:
Economy
Iraq
Environment
Hello! Palin is fiscally responsible, small government, and environmentally friendly. Get a clue naysayers – WE DO NOT VOTE ONE ISSUE OR WITH OUR UTERUS!!!
joe biden..HOPE and CHANGE
Some of the spinmasters on Fox are saying that Palin will not pick up the disenfranchised Clinton supporters! Boy are they ever wrong. Please send them emails–lots!
Americas-talking@foxnews.com
#698 Murphy…I understand that you are devastated. I am an independent who has always leaned toward the democrats. However, this may be just what the democrats needed to show up their shenanigans in this election cycle. It’s really too bad, I know and I , too, feel the pain of the sincere democrats.
My thoughts are that the COUNTRY has to rise above sexism…and racism… and political posturing that leaves out the people. NOBO and Nobiden and the Dems didn’t make the right choices. Their ACTIONS did not follow their WORDS.
There is still hope though through this PAC…to continue to point out to the DEMS that they need to make the right choices. I am sure that Hillary is disappointed too, but as a friend of McCain happy that a woman is in the running. She should be proud that she paved the way!!!
Mick – My understanding is that McCain had melanoma, which is an incredibly life-threatening form of skin cancer. I realize from all reports he’s fine now. But, the combination of his age and that kind of medical history doesn’t exactly make me feel really secure about him finishing his term. I wish him good health and many years, but it’s not an insignificant factor and is one that I think has given other’s pause as well, particularly with respect to the vp issue as it seems perhaps more likely with McCain than other candidates in the past that he might not live out his term. Again, I wouldn’t wish ill on him by any means. Just that I consider malignant melanoma a serious thing to have as part of one’s medical history.
sarah palin is one of the people..shes one of us ..I like her!
Got to go, BBL, very encouraging posts today, keep it up.
“DNC, hear us ROAR!”
Wow, the Obama attack dogs are out in full force! Looks like McCain has them on the run.
well thats all I have to say on that. I am leaving this site and won’t be back. I won’t stay on a site that has double standards.

Kat in your hat, thanks for the link. I love the line”
will Olbermann, Matthews and Scarborough unite to save MSNBC?”
I like McCain’s running mate , she is very accomplished and I have to admit that when she mentioned Geraldine I was happy and when she mentioned Hillary I cried , I cried cause that in my view that was Hillary’s 18 million pieces that line has been used by other people as well . This was hers to take and win , this guy made it imposible for her to even be VP even do that is the best thing for Hillary at end . I guess the love we feel for her made me sensitive , It was her cealing our cealing . I know that perhaps its silly but it was the way I felt . McCain just freaked the Obama Campain that is a good thing . For the first time in my life I would vote Republican in Honor and protest but I was thinking McCain its reaching out to us much more than the Democrat party did . I think Palin its a home run for republicans but today Iam happy not only for Palin but for all females it has taken 25 years for another woman to be nominated its a great day . At the same time I am sad , angry and upset that my party have eliminated the best person for president and that is Hillary Clinton of course .
re#811 NO
sarah palin is a champion dog sledder
she’ll sick her huskies on those DNC poodles
#812 fedup144 Help what are you referring too!
QUESTION: IF McCain is elected, and then IF something happens to him (he’s 72) and Sarah becomes POTUS, and then IF she is unable to do the job (she does not have a lot of experience–I’m not trying to get into the BO vs. Sarah experience argument here), does that put Pelosi next in line for POTUS?
#698 Murphy
I wouldn’t worry about the Dem Party-They still have Bill & Hillary and if they’re willing canbe led back to the center. We could come back then.
#795 LotusBoy
I’ve always voted and never for a Republican for president and its’ just a personal thing, so I just can’t vote for McCain. I’m still trying to convince my wife and four kids to not vote for obama. They’re listenting to me some but it hasn’t been much fun with my family this summer. This site has helped and any other suggestions to help convicne them about what obama will do to our country would be great.

=======
God fobid something happen to McCain, yes Sarah as VP will take his place. The ONLY way they can remove Sarah to take McCain’s place is through impeachment. Nancy has a better shot of getting another Botox before that happens.
No Palin would be appointing a new vp that would then be next in line
jody – interesting question. but, what do you mean by “if she is unable to do the job”. by whose standards? i don’t think a president just gets replaced unless they break the law or engage in some truly egregious act (and even then, they rarely get impeached). i’d be curious to know the answer though in terms of succession (geez, sounds like the times of henry VIII).
We are all saddened by the DNC’s treatment of Hillary. We know she was the one to beat McCain but they turned their backs on her and her supporters. Let’s not turn against each other. We will continue to fight and we will fight to get Hillary in 2012. Keep our minds on the mission and the mission on our minds. Palin was a very smart, strategic move for John McCain and it wouldn’t have been possible without Hillary’s courage. This is the fault of the DNC. They have to pay. That is our mission. Stay true to each other.

ABSOLUTELY NOT. People think that because it’s “Jody” with a “y” that I’m a man. I’m a woman. It was a question.
oh,yeah, thanks mkp651!
jody:
Why would Pelosi be next in line if Sarah is the VP? Sara Palin is a governor, she is fine.
Besides, Pelosi has an election coming up, and she might lose her seat since she only has single digit approval ratings.
On the news they just said that Palin was elected in Alaska to clean up the corruption in the Republican government and she did it! Her approval rating is 90% and she has been in office for 2 years. Now I don’t like that she is a hunter, and member of the NRA, but I think she is a straightforward, tough minded and principled woman from what I have gleaned so far. So it is that Bill Clinton X and Y equation! I now think he was sending us a secret message to vote for McCain!
LOL, CNN posted my comment: Notice my name
Down with Obama August 29th, 2008 12:27 pm ET
Wooooooooooooo Hoooooooooooooooooooooooo McCain
Sweet Justice!!!!!!!!!!!!
Puma Democrat
The DNC has said they don’t need our votes. They have said this several times. McCain just reached out to us.
Trust me if the people of SF think McCain might win they will never replace Pelosi. I lived the the Bay Area for over 40 years it will never happen.

Obama was only a U.S. Senator for one year before he announced his candidacy, let’s get real, critics out there in the world. Palin has been a mayor and a governor, and she’s only #2 on the ticket.
Palin has more experience than Obama, and he is on the top of the democratic ticket.

She’s definitely the Y factor in this race. Both McCain and Palin are the Y factor! Don’t agree with them on half the social issues, but sure do like the fiscal responsibilty and ethical backgrounds, and agree with them that they are wanting to really clean up Washington! That in itself for me is big, and THAT would be real CHANGE!

Hillary will win in 2012 because she is a professional politician with Bill. If you read todays posting on Anglachel you might come to the conclusion that Bill and Hillary are incredibly good politicians.

I am incredibly impressed by what is written here. Please read it and have no fear that Hillary will win in 2012. Palin is a good person but a newbie compared to Bill and Hillary.

Today REALLY IS A NEW DAY!
I tuned into MSNBC. Didn’t catch who said it, but a comment was made that Barack will have to use Hillary even more now to go on the attack against Palin. And just recently (per MSNBC, the Thrill channel), Barack’s international experience was touted as greater that Palin’s because he was on a committee. They are comparing the foreign experience of Barack vs Palin, and finding his greater. Does Barack have foreign accomplishments? Oh, forgot…he went on a speaking vacation abroad.

#698 Murphy,
You stated:
“Howard and Obama have now succeeded at not only losing us the White House, but they have actually brought us to the brink of irrelevancy for the Democratic Party altogether.”
———————————————————
Dear sweet friend and exceptional leader. I am so sorry my feelings ran contrary to yours. Ever since the DNC cheated Hillary out of the nomination I thought their undemocratic crime was “deserving of party extinction”. I will not miss them at all if they have indeed committed politicide (made that word up, btw, meaning killed themselves). They needed to learn a lesson in democracy. Hopefully they will change and you can believe again. This is my dream for you. In the meantime I think our country has just been saved by this man called McCain. At least he and Sarah can hold the fort until a better day for you and all who believed as Democrats.
Murphy, stay on the road to reform and restoration to your party and maybe it will make a comeback.
As for the Republicans they better not blow this brilliant opportunity to be the new party for the people. They haven’t won anything yet except the promise of potential. They still need to work a lot at winning this election. For our country’s sake I wish them great success.
You, Murphy, are still a hero to many. I know I will always admire you. You have made me a puma for life.
Keep going, kiddo. YOU are the one nobody was expecting.

re#863 lily
“Does Barack have foreign accomplishments?”
yeah ,southside obama used to go and talk to the boys on the north side of chicago,i guess that counts for his foreign policy accomplishments
You know what makes this really so funny! Both NObama and Biden don’t have executive level experience. In fact NObama was only 143 days US Senator and start running for President.
McCain covers foreign policy experience, Sarah Palin covers domestic policy experience; between the two of them they have everything covered, USA and international.
In the case of the Democratic Party, it is totally different, NObama don’t have experience on anything, he was a state senator of Illinois, if you’re a state legislator, the head in the Executive Branch in state level is the GOVERNOR. A governor signs BILL INTO LAW like President of USA in the federal level.
Where is the experience of Biden and NObama signing bills into law afforded ONLY in the Executive level?
I live in Slidell (on the east side of Lake Pontchartrain from New Orleans) and we lost everything in Katrina. No mandatory evacuations yet.

I haven’t been able to get through today’s entire blog this morning. I logged in feeling so great — happy to hear about Palen — and now I am furious. I don’t appreciate the attacks against TxDemocrat about stating his/her preference for Obama. Every other post here is a rave about McCain. So what right do you have attacking TxDem?? That is what the bots do! I am not a bot nor a troll and I don’t support either McCain or Obama. I am a Hillary supporter who will stay home in November.
Murphy… I support this PAC with a monthly draw on my checking acct. It is small, but it is a lot to me. I contributed for other PUMAs to go to Denver. I BELIEVE what you have written up top. But if this is going to be a ‘Love McCain or get out’ blog then I am out of here. Please respond.

As Gov of Alaska she’s IN a foreign policy position considering how close they are to Asia. Alaska has major security issues. And she’s already Commander in chief of her Natl Guard! Besides, doesn’t the BO camp think JUDGEMENT is added to the equation. Now that it’s a woman they won’t count judgement? I hate them.
Having had 14 wolf/malamute hybrids and being an avid dogsleeder myself~~~AND staying aware of NObama’s extravgance and wasteful ways with money~~~and being a woman who would love to see the glass ceiling shattered once and for all andhaving raised 3 children and having experience with children with special needs and……….
Did anyone hear Anita Dunn BO sr. advisor just said Palin has NO EXPERIENCE! “She is Just No Hillary Clinton and does not hold the experience and commander in chief experience that the country would benefit from!!!!!!”
Can you believe the GAUL of them???????
This was from Fox News!!!!
BO has hit an all time new LOW. If HRC was SO experienced….why is she not even VP??????
#684 Maryland PUMA
[Palin paid due respect to Hillary Clinton’s achievements - recognized her efforts and the fact that being a VP is possible for her due to Hillary Clinton, something that the DNC never did.
Who would have EVER thought that the REPUBLICANS would be the first to celebrate the power of women.
I am heartbroken, as a Democrat, as a Hillary Clinton supporter, and as a mother.]
I had the same exact feeling. It was bittersweet as I listened to her. I so wanted the Democrats to be the leaders. They gave truly failed.

I am not familiar with North Chicago. Is it an international melting pot? I hope there are Polish people to represent my ancestry. Imagine, he has a comprehensive understanding just by interacting with the various nationalities of North Chicago.
I really don’t know what the racial and ethnic composition of North Chicago is. I guess my remark is snide, because I do know it is American, and interacting with Americans does not equate foreign experience…especially in the way of accomplishing something significant.
my boss at work is crying, he needs his bottle (baby)
PLEASE help me respond to some of my “friends” who are suggesting I’m being a hypocrit because I’m somewhat happy about Mrs. Palin. To be fair, I can’t say I agree with Mrs. Palin’s views. She seems to be a modern woman, but as a Republican, I fear her policies are NOT aligned with Hilary’s issues that we care so much about. On the other hand, we can all enjoy the irony that the Rpub’s picked a woman, while the Dem’s didn’t.
Here’s what I need to respond to: friends of mine who know I’m a pumapac support say “you criticized BO for lacking in experience, so how could you support Mrs. Palin, who’s also lacking in experience?” We debated her years as mayor of a small town (pop. 5400?) and 2 years as Governor, vs. BO’s time in state legislature and in U.S. Sentate. Without nit-picking whether BO or Palin has more or less experience, don’t they BOTH have less than we’d like (esp compared to Hillary).
Finally, thanks for whoever supported my comment about NOT wanting to be thought of as “eye candy” (esp. in my late years…
) . Maybe I’m of such a different generation, who HATED men considering female looks as a standard of measure. Fedup144 & I will have to disagree. But let’s not fight about.
Thanks,

McCain just won the presidency, when historians write this story in future, the 2008 election was won on August 29, 2008!!!
A brilliant, bold move. The Democrats are losers. If not for the Clintons they would not have had a 2-time president in 40 years, and even then out of 11 elections, Democrats have won only 3, bunch of losers, I am so MAD. I am so happy with the Palin pick, she even spoke respectfully of Hillary and Ferraro.
Obama is toast. Now I know the reason for McCain’s Ad yesterday when he congratulated Obama. McC is a chess master… CHECK.
McCain / Palin 2008
Hillary 2012 !!! PERIOD.
Hillary warned them, we did also, the Pelosi/Dean/Brazile think they are strategist (not), what a bunch of morons. Today is a bitter sweet day for me, McCain is going to be our next president, I wanted it so badly for my Hillary. But guess what, I can wait 4 more years.
XOXO Ever. Too dangerous for America. He is an egomaniac, I am glad he had his moment in the spotlight yesterday at the Rose garden replica, he will never live in the white house. I own my vote.
Country before race, before gender. Hillary is the better choice, DNC killed all our dreams in 2008. We will pay them back in 2008, and help Hillary win in 2012.
PS: This Obama guy would have had a chance at winning if he chose Hillary, but he blew it. Afterall he is Obamamessiah ask MSNBC and CNN, they will confirm it LOL.
forward:
The DNC may have undermined 18,000,000 voters…
…but we can do our best to make sure that the DSCC and the Senate don’t do the same.
Please contact the DSCC and tell them that we will only support them (and their candidates) once it has been made clear to us that the Senate Democrats will elect Hillary Clinton as their leader in January:

What you see as an “attack” on TX Dem, I see as a conversation with him/her about differences in opinion. Please read my posts carefully before you attack me. There is NOTHING wrong with conflicting views being expressed. At least, that’s how I always thought things worked in a democracy. I have repeatedly said to other posters here who’s views differ from mine that I completely respect their views and their right to express them. To those statements, I will now add: I would appreciate it if YOU would respect mine.
REMEMBER, as VP, Gov. Palin would be the FIRST woman Senate President!!!!

(hat tip to Will Bower)
This is perhaps not very interesting, but this is how I expressed myself this morning to Dean et al.
HOWARD DEAN, DONNA BRAZILE, NANCY PELOSI, BHO:
Well, you really BLEW IT BIG TIME THIS TIME. You made a very early choice of a Chicago Politician, already known for his treacherous way of getting elected. Then you denigrated, attacked viciously the most well prepared, smartest candidate the Democratic Party has ever had. Bill Clinton would agree with that assessment. You “guys” are so jealous of the Clintons that you will throw an election just to spite them, instead of celebrating their choice of party.
You do not deserve the Clintons. They will not leave the Party, but that does not prevent we old, bitter women and our daughters and granddaughters, our husbands and their husbands. Many among us have already left the party and our celebrating McCain.
For me, the deal was sealed by the choice of Sarah Palin for the Vice Presidency. She will bring so much life to the campaign. She is genuine. And then Obama’s stupid campaign has to come out and denigrate her small town origins. I will leave that to you to mull over that as another “big mistake.”
Sarah will not have to face all the denigration that Hillary had to endure because she does not have much that the biased MSM and democrats had to criticize Hillary.
I said yesterday that you should enjoy your partying now because it wouldn’t last long.
Now Nancy has someone else on whom to vent her jealousy.
Perhaps we will no longer have to endure the adoring eyes as she contemplates SUPERMAN BARRY!
For those of you interested in more about Palin, check out this interview with Kudlow….
http://kudlowsmoneypolitics.blogspot.com/2008/08/my-interview-with-alaska-governor-sarah.html
A big “amen” to BrooklynNY about different opinions here. We can differ, and we can’t beat each other up if we have differing views. Hilary has always spoken about respecting different opinions. It’s George BUSH who spits on the 1st Amendment.
For example, am I allowed to express how my mind is resisting Palin, but my heart tugs towards her simply and solely because she could be President if McCain succumbs to his cancer? I think it’s ok.
Please ladies, let’s not undercut each other. That’s just what Bush would want.

Hello Pumas
I hope all you traveling Pumas had a wonderful time in Denver, accomplished your mission and have all arrived home safely.
I have just read the short bio on Sarah Palin and I like her spirit, attitude and no nonsense way of governing as per the short description.
Another strong, intelligent, independent, determined women who has loads of substance and style like our beloved Hillary R. Clinton.
McCain chose well and I will bet his percentage points go up in the polls, against same old, same old rhetoric Obama.

THANK YOU.
If this forum is becoming “All-McCain and nothing else” then I too will think hard about stepping out of the puma pac.
“McCain or nothing” is not what we signed up for.
Please, everyone, respect differing opinions, help each other by providing factual information, and rise above the trickery of both parties. Think for yourselves. Think critically. Our nation is depending on that.
ARRRRRGHHH!!! Is anyone else so torn up about this whole election mess that they can’t get through their day?!? My feelings are in SUCH conflict about this WHOLE debacle. I wanted Hilary, the Clintons say we should support BO because of the issues, BO says he’ll try to do what Hilary was going to try to do, McCain picks a female VP (but is McCain just trying to trick us into voting for HIM, by USING Mrs. Palin), can I vote for a Republican ticket out of spite even if it means 4 to 8 more years of Bush-like failed policies. I am so frustrated.
Sorry for my rant. I need to go out to my garden to get away from this all. Thanks for letting me vent.
TX Democrat: The continual threat of over-turning R v W is a form of fear mongering. From what I understand R v W can’t be overturned because of the built in clauses to prevent that from occurring. But let’s for discussion say it is. Since I have no abortions in my future, or in the future of my family, it would affect the younger women who chose Obama’s soft eyes and rock star concerts over Senator Clinton, who has championed for their rights for over 35 years. It would be a hard lesson to learn wouldn’t it? Perhaps those same young women would do research into their candidates and choose substance over performance. It would force those young women to fight for the rights they have right now, fought by Senator Clinton and women like her. They would learn that choosing a president is serious and needs thoughtful consideration.
The next president will not have time for overturning R V W. Most certain, Iran, Iraq, Russia, and defense of our country will take precedence, as will balance the budget, getting America productive and working, and all the other issues which either Administration will face.
firechief-I think most folks are just excited to see a woman on a party ticket and will get to the issues during the debates. We PUMA’s are bound not to vote for Obama. So, the choice is McCain, Nader, Barr, write in for Hillary or no vote or all. All of us will make that decision on Nov 4th. The idea of having a female, working class woman as VP is not so bad. We now need to wait, watch the debates and then decide which way we’ll go but you shouldn’t leave PUMA just because some people have already made that decision to vote for McCain.
Some people here, especially one, should take a look in the mirror to find out what makes a troll.
Who will Hillary vote for? Obama/Biden or McCain/Palin. Mmmm, I have my opinion.
I’ve been sitting here reading all these posts, thinking about how to get involved. Do you think I could start getting a PUMA group started down here? I was so ANGRY and SAD Tuesday night, and I couldn’t believe Hill could’ve given up, and now, alls I want to do is SHOUT! NoBAMA! Go PUMA!
Flowerchild2, you are incorrect that Roe v Wade can’t be overturned. My son is a lawyer, & we’ve talked about this issue on many, many occassions. I just emailed him about this.
Remember how conservatives (Bush, McCain, others) ALL say that a judge should “strictly” intepret the law? My lawyer son said that R v. W was based on the right of privacy, “read into” the Constitution. That means that the original Constitution does not really say the words “right to privacy”. So, if the conservative justices want to strictly intepret the Constitution, R v W would be overturned!!!
For the sakes all women now and future, do NOT think this issue doesn’t matter anymore!!
IF the make-up of the Supreme Court changes (with another Repub. appointment, like Scalia, Thomas, Alito, Roberts, etc.), then these justices just need a 5-4 majority to OVERTURN R v W. It probably wouldn’t be overturned right away, but WOMEN’s rights would be chipped away BIT BY BIT.
MAKE NO MISTAKE. Call or email naral, N.O.W., or any other pro-choice entity.
ALSO, even if the President is “busy” with other issues, he HAS to fill any vacancy on the Court. WHO WILL MCCAIN pick as a new justice? It WILL be an anti-abortion justice. Remember the forum at Rick Warren’s church, where McCain instantly said “life begins at conception.” That is CODE for “my judicial appointees will follow suit with me….”
Palin has more experience than BO. She put her state and people first. She signed bills into law unlike BO was always just saying present…BO didn’t vote on things that didn’t suite him…I will cast my vote for the republicans….but I will work harder starting next year in helping HRC get back on track. We need to start doing fund raisers for HRC after January…
HRC 2012
With a democratic congress, no extreme conservative judge will ever make the supreme court IF McCain has to appoint one in the next 4 years. Then Hillary will be president for 8 years and have plenty of opportunity to put more liberal judges on the court. It’s all a FEAR tatic by Howard Dean and the DNC to make you vote for Obama.
With McCain picking Palin…it shows that he believes in CHANGE, rather than Obama…
Stardust,
RE: “The Democratic Party is no longer the Democratic Party. It has died; I now belong to the Puma Party!!!” , I agree. I think it’s long over-due!
p.s. hope you bought Willie Nelson “Stardust” by now! ;D
#900 joyce in ny
Please remember, joyce, that it was Ronald Reagan, an extremely pro-life president who appointed Sandra Day O’Connor to the Supreme Court.
McCain has said he is pro-life but doesn’t believe Roe v Wade can be overturned; it is so ingrained in American life. Besides, according to his interpretation of the Constitution, he believes it is a states’ rights issue. Not up to the Supreme Court to decide.
We all saw the fraud and manipulation by the DNC and BO; we should know those gangsters will continue with THAT SCAM.
I read some where that Donna Brazile said she votes twice, is she implying that she casts her vote and then casts mine?
My suspicion is that regardless of how we vote; if we are still registered as Democrat, that they will in some fraudulent-manipulative way, count our vote as a vote for that shthead anyway, who knows, maybe they will try this even if we change are affiliation before November unless the honest powers that be can stop them.
I have been a democrat since I first registered to vote in 1973; I voted for Senator Clinton in the February primary here in California; SHE WAS THE BEST QUALIFIED on the Democratic ticket, however a few days after the Rules and Bylaws Committee meeting on May 31, I registered as a Republican, I can re-register when I believe it is safe to do so.
The other day I went on line to the Registrar of Voters website, selected my county of Alameda here in California too see if my affiliation change was still on record; after submitting the information needed to process this request, the response was that their was no data to report; now I will personally go to the Registrar of Voters office ASAP to check on the status of my affiliation; I will do this often.
Thank you to all of you who can see the Forrest through the trees; for realizing how important it is to keep that fake and his gangsters out of our nations office. This is a huge sacrifice for me and the people I love and care for but it is a necessary sacrifice for our country.

Kasota,
You say that no “extreme conservative judge” would make it past a Democ. Congress. BUT, Bush got Alito and Roberts onto the Supreme Court. Do you think that these Bush appointees will stand firmly by Roe v. Wade and not chip away at it? No chance.
The conservatives are smart! Their nominees know the “correct” answer to give, to get by Congress and onto the Court. Of course neither side nominates a possible justice who talks like a far-left liberal or far-right conservative– they temper their views, Congress approves them, and them …..BAM, our rights are chipped away. These appointments to the Court ARE FOR LIFE!!
BrooklynNY,
McCain saying abortion is a state issue is just talk that sounds (1) pro-states rights, and (2) assures women there’s no need to worry.
The fact that Roe v. Wade was decided by the U.S. Supreme Court SHOWS it’s an issue that’ll be decided BY the SUPREME COURT.
Just last year, my son emailed me this, the Court looked at the partial birht ban issue. Look at http://www.cnn.com/2007/LAW/04/18/scotus.abortion/index.html. The Court decided 5 votes to 4 votes that the ban did not infringe on our right to choose. My goodness, puma sisters, here’s the cnn quote from last year that shows what Bush is doing:
“WASHINGTON (CNN) — The Supreme Court on Wednesday upheld a law that banned a type of late-term abortion, a ruling that could portend enormous social, legal and political implications for the divisive issue.
The sharply divided 5-4 ruling could prove historic. It sends a possible signal of the court’s willingness, under Chief Justice John Roberts, to someday revisit the basic right to abortion guaranteed in the 1973 Roe v. Wade case.
President Bush, who signed the law in 2003 and appointed two of the justices who upheld it, said the prohibition “represents a commitment to building a culture of life in America.”
“Today’s decision affirms that the Constitution does not stand in the way of the people’s representatives enacting laws reflecting the compassion and humanity of America,” he said in a statement released by the White House”
JOYCE IN NY – McCain isn’t just “talk” – as a conservative I can assure you he has a long record working for states’ rights. He doesn’t believe R v W is a sound decision to begin with because it was a federal decision to control states. He is personally pro-life, but he does indeed want reproductive choice in the hands of individual states. Period.
I am pro-life but I don’t think you have to worry about Roe v. Wade. It won’t go away.
I conservative but have voted for both Dems and Republicans. McCain/Palin 08 is the best of the two tickets. I thought Hillary was so much better than Obama. Too bad the media et. al. fell in love with Obama. Every time he opens his mouth he sounds dumber, and Biden is an idiot.
Palin has more experience than Obama and is a great choice. She smart, a Mom, a jock, she hunts, she fishes, a tough/honest politician, mayor, governor etc.,
Her son in the Army is going to Iraq.
So I urge PUMA’s to throw aside partisan politics and vote for McCain/Palin.
I can’t believe that a woman around my age could be VP. This is awesome.
You may not always agree with McCain, but I think he and Palin will be honest. Can’t say that about Obama.
#821 civilityforusa – You asked me a question. I can try and direct you to the mine of information in the JustSayNoDeal websites including information on Birth Certificate issue and hoard of other data that makes PUMA believe that they Nailed it on this one.
ALso look for the MSNBC Chris Matthews goldmine on his question to fellow PUMAS and the PUMA response.
Look at the step-brother link at Kenya to conclude on carrying for family and compassionate qualities.
If you need a real litmus test then have them watch KO and Glenn Beck back to back.
Also research KO (Keith Olberman) tapes in the primary and caucus days almost barking at why HRC had to step down from the race and they brought in NANCY BO(TOX) to tow that line. If you even get through 100 minutes of KO unaffected by their bias then turn to data on the state senate race at Illinois to check further. If still not convinced, look for Rev Jer Wright et al gaffes. If that did not work search for YouTube information on learning Spanish to live in USA (yes a mock that we speak English and are unprepared to learn another language. Say that to our guys in Afghanistan, Iraq etc.). Ask Rosetta Stone company how many software language learning copies are sold in the US. If not, we will start over by listening to McCain and Sarah on their website / information etc.
#821 civilityforusa – and all this information while I have not even hit my 10th year in this country.
I just want to mention as a conservative that when someone says someone is “anti-abortion” I have to roll my eyes. It’s like the term “PRO-abortion”. It’s silly. I am a conservative, and “anti-abortion” on a personal level, but I am also “PRO-choice” – because I want government meddling out of the doctor’s office. Many many conservatives and Republicans feel the same way, and would identify as pro-choice. To lump them all together is ignorant.
909 joyce in ny
joyce – I am pro-choice. But I am vehemently AGAINST late-term abortion, except in extremely extenuating circumstances.
FINE Fire, BUT DO NOT TALK ABOUT VOTING FOR BO….
NOT ALLOWED HERE…NOT ALLOWED HERE…
NO BO NO MO NO NO NO NO NO NONO NONONONONONONONONONONONONONONONONONONON O NO N ONONONONONONONONONONONONO N O N ON
Did i mention NO
joyce – I am not in the least afraid of Roe being overturned. It didn’t happen during the Reagan years or the Bush years; it isn’t going to happen now.
I’m sorry, I also have to speak as a cancer survivor, because the little comments here and there about cancer the last few days are driving me nuts. All cancer is not the same. The type that McCain had was totally removable. He will not “succumb to cancer” during the Presidency. Not that cancer anyway. So can we get past that? Cancer survivors aren’t crippled, or defected, and many of us are no more likely to die of cancer in the next few years as any of you are!
McCain is in excellent health. In my family, 72 is young and means you have 2 decades left. He is more likely to be hit by a car in the next 4 years.
Someone said fundraising for Hillary should begin in January. Great idea.
#918 MacAllen
Adding to your comments…..He also has a history of longevity in his family. His mother is 90-something years old and she is sharp as a whistle and quite healthy.
I hope Elton John writes a song for Hillary.
Ther have always been measures in place if Roe is overturned. It will fall into the hands of the states. Networks will be set in place to help and protect women.
Oh and PUMA’s don’t be afraid to donate to McCain/Palin 08. Gotta defeat the Obummer.
WOW!!! What a day. I love how this has totally trumped *61’s “historic” nomination. Do the Repubs know how to play dirty or what? LOL!!! They have made my decision for November much easier to make now. I will continue to support all down-ticket dems, however, as I am a democrat at heart.
To FLGayGuy4Hill,
Howdy from a MIGayGal. Your points are interesting, but I think the magnificent Clintons already thought about this which is why their public persona and speeches have been ABOVE REPROACH. There really is no way the media can blame Hillary or Bill for Obama’s loss. They can blame Hillary’s “popularity,” they can blame Hillary’s supporters (and likely call us all the names they already have and more), but I don’t think they can get away with blaming either Clinton given the extremely supportive and positive speeches each has made. They are uber-smart, those two. They came out looking magnanimous, passionate, dedicated and supportive of Obama as true blue democrats. Very smart.
I just got off the phone with a McCain camp worker and told her that he and Palin have my vote so long as they keep abortion legal. To me, that is the one concession I will not risk in my protest vote against Obama.
Everyone I know is LIVID that Senator Clinton was not even considered for VP. That put the nail in the coffin for lots of women. Party Unity My Ass. Staged unity is more like it. They really are hoping people are dumb as bricks, aren’t they? Do they think for one millisecond we would not see through their piles of trickery and bullshit? Keep preaching to your choir NObama, but yer choir just ain’t big enough! I hope he gets trampled in November. As always, I will volunteer for the election and will probably be driving elderly republicans (not democrats) to the polls this year—-never, ever thought I’d be doing that but I vehemently believe that NOBO does not deserve to win and I will work hard so he does not win.
Oh, and one thing that is frustrating me about the media (again), is all the comparison between Obama and Palin regarding experience. Uh, HELLO!!! One is running for PRESIDENT, the other was chosen (not underhandedly s-elected) to run for vice president. Therefore, there really should be no comparison.
McCain is surely courting us with his VP choice and with Palin’s speech thanking Ferraro and Hillary. It makes me feel warm all over to be courted so sweetly……
BO mentioned in his piece now on CheapNN that he is happy with his pick to help him with his job on top of the ticket but Sarah is more of the same.
Are we not hearing the change agent say more of the same over and over again.
Gotta go puke cause Wolfe just mentioned the historic moment for the 1000888887777 th time in 38000 secs
Catch up in a bit
Well, my PUMA friends, I’ve been quite touched reading your comments re Governor Palin. I think this election has made many of us men think more deeply about womens’ experiences in the workplace, in politics, etc. I understand my cousin’s feelings much better – about her struggles in her career, and what Hillary represents to her – in part due to your efforts.
Please remember that few things are static. As the Democratic party morphed into the Undemocratic party, so the Republican party can get back to its roots and purge the fat cats and porkmeisters. You’ve seen how things were twisted and made up about Hillary – perhaps now you’ll see that many “truths” about us Republicans were distortions as well.
Women are the glue that holds civilization together. God Bless you PUMAs. Country First!
And just before America goes to sleep on a final summer long weekend 2008, I would like to again resonate #928 JackOkie and my own previous comments to keep reminding PUMA members not only their journey now and for future, but also start dreaming the real dreams. I take the role of nudging you all a little further, a little higher in PUMA persuits. Again, I come from a continent where stealing an election and hurting democratic process through mafia like means is a normal occurance. I did not study the same text book of democracy as the millions of you have, but the contents both of us have read and imbibed still remains relevant to why PUMA has gotten this far. This is still not, in my opinion a boiling point situation yet, but the hurt that you all are trying to heal is very much something I have seen in the 3 decades of my life in Asia. In this decade that I have lived in USA and now my new home, I am pleased that you all have proved that time and again the developed world and particularly America does not sit on its hands but reacts to situation in the best possible way in the countries best interest. If in 1 day since the coronation of the Dems Nominee, not withstanding the fact that you have the Fantasy Football Season, the College Season, NFL and all the sport games, it is people like me and JackOkie that truely tell you one fact that most guys thus far have never told gals- You gals have arrived in this movement and you have nowhere to go but farther, deeper into all areas blocked in your collective journey with HRC and with the collective strength of our cheering you from the benches, go and do what you have set yourselves to do without looking back and finally believe me this is all a GOOD KARMA!
Palin is on CNBC if anyone is interested. She sounds like a brilliant woman
Yes. Cannot be more precise than this
and sorry for my manners…………..Buenas Noches puma’s………..since I didn’t sleep to well last night, I fell asleep for two hours after work this evening,,
Gals is someone TIVO’ing. This is really worth it. She is even mentioning a bipartisan candidature drilling evolution thought process
where are all my PUMA’S ??
Thanks, KendalBlue for the CNBC notice – I was stuck with CheapNN momentarily
935 LotusBoy……………..Hey, are we on the wrong thread?? I am a bit confused. where is everyone?
Why aren’t my post being added?
We should perhaps switch to thread ‘The New Democratic Party’
936 KENDALBLUE – I am headed to the latest thread. Navigate from Top right Link arrow
KENDALBLUE – Did you get in there – 1 or 2 posts from this one.
Honestly… the thought of voting for McCain made me feel ill… but I was still willing. Now with this Palin pick, it’s off the table completely.
She’s pro-drilling in ANWR, and has argued against placing Polar Bears on the threatened species list… even though they’re living on slush.
Green Party, here I come.
The terms “pro-life” and “pro-abortion” are purely manipulative and propagandist (it is now!).
You’re either in favor of reproductive rights, against reproductive rights, or you don’t have a position on either.
Praying for NO – WWGD?
