Whaddya think folks?
Please post instances of sexism against Sarah Palin that you have found.
Holy shit, sorry folks, but Rudy Giuli-freaking-ani just asked, “How DARE they ask whether a woman with children is able to lead?”
Holy Smokes, what has the Democratic Party come to?

whoooo hoooooo GO SARAH!!!!!!!
and I am #1!! ?
I’m first?
Maybe # 2
Oh drat… # 4 is still good
bigcat
i knew it too…lol
wow… the republicans allow signs in their conventions… how democratic.
I have to watch Sarah’s speech with the Pumas!
hey murphy!
every time they wave those orange hankies I cry….Hillary my Hillary….
Go Sarah!!
Standing Ovation! So proud to see a woman there!
Murphy – LMAO
Palin interesting because she did her own hair and is dressed very understated. Let MSNBC rip her for that!
ok – will settle for just being here lol lol
so way past time that America honors its women! Hillary should have been our first President!
This is the first time I’ve watched tv since May 31.
great! she is in her element…she is relaxed…she found her center…no nervous silliness…YES!
Is she doing the speech with out relying on the telepromters?
Is there some reason why my comments were deleted?
Ario – not speaking of today’s posts. Sorry for the misunderstanding.
I love it when you are on the blogs. You are one of the PUMAs I really enjoy.
Too bad NO ONE stood up for Hillary. :/
Go Sarah, we are going to watch your back against the sexism,
When the boogieman goes to bed , he checks for Sara Palin in the closet !!!!
Palin’s reception was at least as enthusiastic and long as Hillary’s was at the Dem Convention last week.
Whoooooo Whooooooo
No teleprompters for her. Take that Obama.
Thank you Murphy for putting up this track to share with PUMAS.
honestly dances, me too — i watched the super bowl that’s it.
this convention seems so low-tech and understated, and she’s wearing what? gray silk?
andy
r u sure?
Dances – First time I’ve watched since May 31st as well. Tonight I got brave for some reason.
Kerri… too threatening. Remember how girls are supposed to pretend to be inferior to boys in order to be accepted? Hillary didn’t buy into that.
Rudy is MY FAV at this point. He kicked BO’s butt and I loved every minute of it…
GO GO SARAH!!!
Uh Oh , my partner works with special needs kids – Palin may have just gotten another vote ….
Go Palin for this next 4 years
But Hillary will be our first female Prez, right folks??
She’s meeting them head on. Great to watch.
murphy–this is true america…the republicans beat the democrats..and rightly so…
Hillary should have been, Sarah will be…..
Damn those orange hankies my tears will overcome me…
Okay, I don’t mean to be rude but uhm…having a baby at 44 years of age. Uhm..what did you THINK was gonna happen? I donno. She should have made sure to not get pregnant, eggs are too far degenerated by that time.
Okay, go ahead, throw something at my head. I can take it. BTW, my brother is autistic/MR…I’m cool with “special needs” I’m just saying, using your head might work a bit too.
murphy
would feel better if you left out the religious mention in your headline. (the cussing doesn’t i could care less about.)
She’s GREAT…..I LOVE HER!!
Every woman can walk through every door of opportunity!
Of course we are for Hillary, always and forever, she will be the first female President, but for now, I won’t stand by and let the creeps throw sarah under the bus.
murphy
and feel free to delete my request post #37, if you prefer
my nephew was born with so many birth defects
my other nephew was born with a few birth defects
kerri
my mom had a baby at 46 and my brother is great …and?
Dances: the reason no one stood up for Hillary is because her party sold her out and the GOP was loving it. They didn’t want to have to run anyone agianst her.
I’m with Marty: Hillary will be our first president!
seems so next -door neighborly, very down-to-earth, but quite composed and at ease…
blue blue will do.
Ario – that was one of the posts I had to skip by.
Kerri—NOT tonight please….no sexism tonight…
she said the difference between a hockey mom and pit bull was lipstick. I like this lady
Murphy – did you read my email to you a few days ago?????
Worked with residential developmentally disabled in my 20s… still love those kids.
She’s gutsy!!
sharp…lol!
look at piper wiping down her brother’s hair with her spit.
oh lord.
i love that little girl — she looks just like my second grader.
now she’s after 61 rotflmao
Suggest ‘The Shack’ by w.p.young. It helps to understand why Sarah may have been blessed by the challenge of Trig.
my mother had 2 children after the age of 40 and they are just as fine as they can be! took a swipe at obama! you go sarah!
LOVING IT….she’s fricking whipping ass tonight folks
“Except that you have ACTUAL responsibilities” LOLOL
GO Sarah!
She seems so calm for someone who was ripped to pieces by the media.
The meaning of Orange:
Hillary Clinton wore orange for her DNC Convention speech.
http://www.time.com/time/magazine/article/0,9171,901041206-832153,00.html
Oooohh, Go Sarah, Go Sarah!
Calling out zero’s hypocrisy
Kerri- I completely disagree with you and think your post is heartless. You are ofcourse entitled to your opinion.
slap cupcake around sarah!
She is great!!

“round house smack down” (c. ario TM)
She’s like a normal person.
“I put it on eBay” LOL
ok sarah give us ur view of iraan..and bla bla bla!
Sarah’s is kicking butt and taking names. she is simply put, tuff as nails and so composed and is ready for battle.
her timing and delivery is absolutely spot-on.
Blue Blue Gal….Shalom to you too! Good to “see” you!
Shit, let HER debate SOB…..he’d be crying in the first 10 minutes….

bridge to nowhere!
#79 Texas Tigress – keep it up… I’m loving those…
I’m reading these outloud to the hubby… he is cracking up.. He’s from Texas too.
He would ran like hell if he had to debate her, I would love to see her take on MO….can’t you just see MO’s face right now????
She seems to be showing she’s not at all afraid of the attacks at her or her ticket. She’s definitely no shrinking violet. That’s cool.
I’m sorry if science is troubling to some of you all. I uhm, I like science.

I thought she’s a student of Hillary too. The way she carried herself during that long ovation.
Oh she is cracking me up, but I bet my husband 5 dollars BO or camp will be saying Rudy went to fair BO is owned a big old sorry and i hope Rudy tells them to shove it.
Give me a minute to post a sexist comment there Murphy I’m loving this lady right now she is so funny and smart.
#81 Normapapuma
Yes, see my post of #61, the Orange Revolution
When she steps into the ocean , Sara palin doesn’t get wet , the ocean gets Sara Palin !!!
She NEVER says Uhhhh…..Uhhhmmmm
I mean, they ARE absolutely spot-on
Here is MO right now….she looks like she’s sucking a lemon and her jaw is angled just right for a whale to drop in…..
Smart, Kind, and Cute….oh, and a WOMAN!!!
WHOOP THERE IT IS!!
she is absolutely wonderful! dammit…i over nuked my mac and cheese:(!!!!!!

Using your head is usually a little difficult when you’re doing what causes a baby. Ever hear of menopausal babies when you think ovulation has stopped and you don’t need birth control any more.
notfollowing– where’s her teleprompter??
how could anyone claim alaska is unimportant?
like, 5 mins from Russia and on top of zilions of gals of oil?
why are the Democrats so DUMBBBBBB?????
#75
I am laughing my ass off. I can’t help it. What were the Dems thinking by dissing HC? The Clintons handed them the presidency on a silver platter and they said NO. Oh well.
SMART…she’s wicked smart…
Glass ceiling ? Sara palin isn’t going to shatter it – she’s gonna shoot it like it’s a f***n MOOSE !
Good for her! GO GET HIM, Sarah!

LOL!! Ario I’m going to sign us up for a cooking class… otherwise we’re going to starve to death or go into debt replacing burned dinners.
opps another smack down!!! two books no laws!
She just punched Obama pretty damn good
Rudy Gulliani spoke at the RNC right before Sarah Palin.
He said:
How dare they ask Sarah how she’ll have the time to be Vice President and be with her children… [standing ovation]… When do they ever ask a man that question?!!! [an even more uproarious standing ovation].
*****************************
SARAH -is- P`O`W`E`R`F`U`L !!!
*****************************
Ooooh, NO SHE DIDN”T!
wow…she is so comfy in this big arena…i would be sputtering and looking crazy the whole time…lol
Lara…we deserve this…I haven’t laughed in a LONG LONG TIME…..
HILLARY we love you ABOVE ALL, but this girl is good…she’ll defeat BO with one look!!
WHOOP she just dissed the hell out of BO!!!
Texans know that what she is doin is havin’ a ” Come to jesus meetin” on Obama !!!!!
notfollowing– where’s her teleprompter??
~~~
Looks like she occasionally turns the page of notes on the podium
~~~~~
Greek columns hauled back to the studio! LOLOL
BO needs to go run with the Mooses
re: bridge to nowhere – i heard she actually voted yes on the first vote, and then changed her stance on the second vote. for those of you on her page, just check it out. i’m always for basing my decisions on – “just the facts please, maam” said seargant joe friday. i will go do the same.
turning back the waters…lol!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
the media is going to go absolutely nuts tomorrow!
Did She just say that,,,,,,,,,,,,Yes she did!!!!!
Palin! Palin! Palin!
Man…Hillary vs. Palin….I’m SO THERE!!
McCain is a hero…Sarah is MY HERO!!!
BEAT HIS ASS GIRL…..GOD she just beat his ass again…
I fell off my chair (truth)….
Stick a fork in BO, he’s done.
She is laying it on, asked what he would do when it was over, the greek columns had been taken back to the studio’s , what would he do then?
Hope she will she have pulled in more viewers tonight than *61?
Speaking of ‘hope’, Rudy said that hope is not a strategy.
blue…yes thats true…but im less worried about that than ayers…rev wright…his poor brother in kenya…his flip flop on fisa…and of course his campaigning in 57 states…lol!!!!
I stubbed my toe, but it doesn’t even hurt….I think i’m euphoric right now…either that or someone snuck me some palin koolaid
BARRACUDA!!!
She just named 5 swing states – she is sooooo good
GO ARIO
Duck fast BO, she just slung another one!
Ario and DWP in cooking class — perfect — we’ll do a seminar lead by you two at the first annual puma pac conference.
She is quite something.
Unbelievably in charge of her setting and the arena.
she just said Minesoowwdaah in that weird (but cute!) Minnessoowdaah way)
she just did the ‘change’ truth.
SLAM….she is damn good people…damn good
Jenniforhillary, Ario and others, you are cracking me up.
Of course, I also can’t help but enjoy that the Dems will have to live with a woman VP for the next four years and then a woman prez (HC!) for the eight after that.
of she made fun of the seal.
oh no she didn’t ! the presidential seal rflmao!
hey jennifer!
she’s hitting him on everything
sartom, she changed it by SAYING IT….
So simple, but the DONC couldn’t do it….
Hillary could, except for the last statment she should have uttered “VOTE FOR ME”
great lines!
slam dunk
Soft spoken, to the point without drama and theatrics.
good one, she Mccain wasn’t looking for a fight, but was not afraid of him. hitting on Harry Reid right now.
Obama is going to need some salve after this !!!
LET EM’HAVE IT SARAH!!!!!!!
I think Sarah is a SMART, ARTICULATE, EXPERIENCED, showing she is TOUGH and what a BEAUTIFUL Mom!!!
I feel, for me imo, American will be safer with McCain~ I know I won’t be afraid to sleep at night & that we won’t be sold out!
crap, wasn’t afraid of a fight.
Looks like the whole GOP just fell in love with Sarah Palin if you ask me.
There it is folks she is no dummy she went straight after BO she knows he may not be the one saying things about her and her family but as we all know he has his minions do it and he sits back and watching. Don’t mess with her family Barrack.
Ario
so glad to see you here, again.
She is kicking booty people, and I am in hog heaven.
She did it. She is great!
The american presidency is not supposed to be a journey of personal discovery !!!
I’ve been a Democrat my whole voting life, but this year I have started calling them the Dumbocratic Party.
Only Democrats could select a nominee that makes Republicans look like the good guy & gal!?!
I don’t like any of our choices this year, so why not vote for a woman just because she is a woman.
I LOVE the fact that she can say what she wants….and I want what she says!!
not a journey of personal discovery
she’s got good lines.
Love her!!!
Kick him again Sarah!!
Lara
i absolutely LOVE HILLARY!!!!! and I cant wait to see her in 2012! right now we have to focuse on getting cupcaked off a cliff! and what better way than to have another woman Palin give him the final kick he deserves!
Compare Sarah’s warm face and poise with BO’s hard-set angry-mask-like face during his speech last week.
Ario and DWP in cooking class — perfect — we’ll do a seminar lead by you two at the first annual puma pac conference.

Ario can teach microwaving mac and cheese without burning it; and I can teach the most efficient locations for smoke detectors when used as cooking timers.
NOW, if only o’reilly will do his thing with *61 tomorrow…it could be all over.
Sara Palin uses pepper spray to spice up her caribou steaks !
she is hitting him with everything hillary couldn’t.
he thought he brushed them bitches off his shoulders.
guess not.
Texas Tigress he will also need baby powder and vasolene, he is going to have such a case of the red as@.
I don’t cook….figure the fire dept. has enough to do without me…
A woman in the white house,not Hillary but damn close……
Kerri
i said when she was firt announced as VP pick that I was salivating at the thought of Hillary running against her in 2012. Two great women like this would be so fun.

TN….2012 ain’t that far girl….
SARAH PALIN IS KICKING oBIMBOS BUTT….
And everything she has said about him is accurate, as each of us has seen for almost 10 months. Like her or not, this is a tough, reforming woman. I love her!
Big Cat…I’m SAYING! LOL Let the gods hear us!

This lady has my vote and I no longer have any qualms about doing it, she is absolutely awesome
I’m in girl…sign me up…NO BO NO BO NO BO!!!!
Tonight is the beginning of the end for BO! She was awesome!!!!
Why can’t she be a flippin Democrat ????
Score 100000 Palin…..ZERO to the ZERO
Brit Hume is giving her accolades.
Her best line was: “What the difference between a Hockey Mom and a Pitt Bull”?
LIPSTICK!
http://pumasunleashed.wordpress.com/
She did it! Flawless from start to finish.
ok , now for the sexism … I’m flippin to CNN to see what they say …
She has hit it out of the ball park!
damn! the greatest speeches this year was hillary at dnc and now palin…bravissimo!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Holy crap! Take that bozo!!!
Here’s the cherry on the cake! Go McCain
I still love Hillary but this woman is amazing!
pumaduma…
did she say that?…i missed it…i always use the pitbull analogy!
No commentaries on MSNBC or CNN.
Apparently 2008 is the year of the woman! Roar, ladies, roar!
He is wearing a orange tie!!!
Love her sense of humor!
she stopped the train in it’s tracks tonight.
Is that tie orange or red?
is the orange really in support of HIllary???
McCain wearing orange tie!
orange on my tv
The little girl is into it! Very comfortable… political career in her future! cute cute cute
“and what a beautiful family…”
Yep.
Now let’s see zero try brushing her off his shoulder… freakin’ miscreant.
omg. orange tie! Hillary! Palin rules! Puma rules!
OMG! McCain has a Puma tie on!
there is no comparison between the Palin’s and the Obomabot family,
ok made me tear up~ i wish i felt like this for Hillary~ but I sure am proud to feel like this for McCain and Palin also~
DAMN THOSE DEM’S!!!!!
so you all will accept and vote for a republican vice presidential nominee woman because a democratic presidential woman is not on the ballot – !!!!!!!!!
what a cheap date all of you are!!!!!
if mccain had chosen romney or guilliani or huckabee would you be spewing such accolades????????
The pundits are stuttering. lmao
They always talk about how at first she was in favor of the bridge to no-where. :/ You know what, zero has flipped on EVERY SINGLE issue that he spoke of in the past 6 months! Why don’t they ever talk about that?
BTW, WHY are the Republicans sporting orange?
did bo ever do the national anthem????
little girl?
blue…we will do what it takes so cupcake doesnt win!
Orange! Orange! Orange!!!!!!!!!!!
Puma! Puma! Puma!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The tie was orange on my tv too…
Olbermann saying speech full of condesencion, sarcasm and tone is other nasty remarks. But Mathews is saying it was very strong and he liked it.
i burned my kitchen down TWICE.
the volunteer fire department guys are so cute!
Palin just completed her speech. I thought Guiliani was good. and Sarah Palin was excellent. I must say that the Dems have abandoned womens rights to the Republicans. I must say I am impressed with the support for womens rights in the Rep party. We are going to get NOTHING from the Dems but we will get advancement in womens rights with McCain and Palin. I will personally vote with pride as a Democrat PUMA for McCain and Palin. I will have more to say later.
MSNBC taking shot at her ‘condensation’ of Obama…..however, chris matthews thinks it was a great speech.
Hi Kerri~ woooohooo ORANGE FOR PUMA AND HILLARY!!!!!!!!!!!!!
blue
but he didnt choose them…and unlike cupcake he didnt throw a qualified woman under the bus…any more questions?
I will do it for you.
i have msnbO on and keithO thinks the speech was condescending.
matthews found it appealing, but a “cultural challenge” aimed directly at the hull of the USS michele and barack obama.
gregory thinks it energized the base and she will attack and help john mccain, successful.
#207 Blue Blue Gal on 09.03.08 at 11:15 pm
Uh hello? We’re respecting a VP nom as a woman and uniting in the fact that we despise bozo and his fraudulent campaign. We are voting against bozo. You smell like a bot and a blog wrecker.
#207
Sounds like you are a die hard Old Democrat. Sorry!
207 Blue Blue Gal
I’ve always been a cheap date.
blue, I am voting a protest vote against #61 and if those men had had such great speeches too that would not make or break it. I think it’s icing on the cake with Palin being a woman and giving such an outstanding speech.
Guys and gals! I am back for a brief moment. Thunderbolt just struck the bots and they are dazed – With this bots will find Taser gun feel like feather cause I am convinced she is a lion, a cougar, a leopard, and the most wonderful PUMA all packed in one strong human being. Orange is now officially the color of “true change”
#36 Kerri My sister got pregnant in her mid-40s and my niece is a beautiful, smart teenager. There are certainly more risks, but it happens and it works out fine for most.
Palin nailed it and kicked a$$. She made Barack look like the wannabe-rap-artist he is. She’s real; he’s a joke.
I had to come right to the bottom of the posts — Palin was fabulous! I’m sold!
C-SPAN HAS A SINGER WITH A SONG ABOUT MCCAIN.
The best is Palin’s “Bewitched” nose thing. Awesome!
we arent cheap dates…lol….if we were we would be obotrons…lol!!!!!!!!
McCain wearing a “protest ” tie and Sarah is as sista!
http://pumasunleashed.wordpress.com/
Beat up on barack night………
she brought him to his knees… but not in a mean way… just told the truth.
All men on PBS discussing Palin.
man, they will never get it.
Black commentator saying teh speech was designed to appeal to white women voters. Jesus…it’s enouygh already with superficial arguesments based on complexion. christalmighty.
bbg – I am not voting Repub , but she was good and just because she is a Repub – you can’t take that away from her .
My vote isn’t a protest vote. I am voting Rep down the ticket this year. Dem is dead. Disgraced. Won’t support them ever for what they did to Hillary.
darn, my color must be off~ i didnt even notice…
but that sure is AWESOME!!!!!!!!
Never thought I’d see the day when Hillary’s name was cheered at a GOP convention. Never thought I’d see the day when I was glued to the TV during a GOP convention. Never thought I’d see the day loving the VP nom’s speech at a GOP convention. Never thought I’d see the day when the Democratic Party turned into the Obot, anti-democracy, anti-woman party. Insane.
#207 Blue Blue Gal
NO. I’ll vote McCain because I want to be SURE I’ve done everything I can to keep BO out of the oval office. The fact that it will put such a strong woman in the VP office is just a BONUS!
Chris Wallace said “a star was born tonight.”
beautiful speech
She said everything Hillary wanted to say but couldn’t! It was fantastic! I can see that vein popping out of obies neck lol
she got my vote..along with McCain.America will be in ggod hands for the next four years..and I have been called much worse than a “cheap date”
#207 Blue Blue Gal,
What is your problem? Don’t you realize that Sarah Palin can help pave the way for Hillary to have an easier go at it in 2012? If she is a competent and strong leader, as she seems to be, Hillary can only benefit from it when she runs again.
Of course, she could very well be facing Palin. That would be a hell of a campaign.
Palin’s speech was EXCELLENT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Wow…
I liked her speach……I think the crowd did to.
You have to admit there was a good amount of excitement in the crowd when McCain came on stage.
See, he can bring excitement too. : )
McCain 08
She says she’s a pitbull…I believe her. They’re my favorite breed of dog, gentle, loving, smart, but WATCH OUT if you’re on the receiving end of the “get ‘em!” LOL
211 Ario
little girl?
—————————-
Palin’s 6? 7? year old daughter = the little girl
Thanks for questioning that comment though.
I know she is a Republican, but I have to give credit where it is due. She was incredible. An advocate for special needs children…that means a lot to me. She skewered Barack for his bombastic speechifying and grandstanding…and did very little finger pointing, unlike Barack who points so much my shoulder has sympathetic pains. Barack may be eloquent for the elite, but she has more eloquence and poise in her pointer finger, than Barack has studiously created for himself.
dwp- I agree, truth has no color…..tell the truth …..shame the devil
#221 Sisterluck -
read one of my earlier posts – remember we are a pac of democrats –
repost
793 Blue Blue Gal on 09.03.08 at 8:05 pm evening-
usually i take the time to read the posts before i jump in, but i don’t want to waste the time tonight as we are really something like 85 days til election. i’ve been absent for appx 6 days to reevaluate my own personal perspective on the outcome of the DNC. i am a democrat for at least 8 presidential cycles. i have never experienced a caucus prior to moving to texas. that night i became a crusader. i became an alternate to my county convention, and then through delegate drop-outs, became a delegate!!!! that was the turning point of my involvement in the election process. i then volunteered at hillary’s headquarters here in my closest city, was awarded a guest pass to my state’s convention in austin, i went , and when hillary suspended her campaign i went and volunteered at my county’s democratic headquarters. well, that went well til my gut instinct kicked in that the outcome of the DNC was predetermined. well., i still volunteer because i want to see every downticket democrat elected. and then to further insure our democratic process was still in place i volunteered to be and election judge, an alternate election judge, or a clerk for the general election. also i became a deputy registrar of voters back in june. i have been on a crash course of the election process in not only my new state, but states where there are no cuacus’, and how the country’s system works. it is because all of you have inspired me to become knowledgeable and have also inspired me to spread my new found knowledge. for this, i thank all of you, and commit to our puma goals.
LOL, Oh Obama’s campaign just released a statement…oh pity them…they know they are losers!
xo says her speech was written by Bush’s speech writer and was not about change ..
hillary orange and mccain wearing orange..sort of makes you wonder..
I LOVE IT!
eugene robinson thinks the speech was canned
jesus christ on a trailer hitch, god save me now.
and good night!
im gonna run down to the local pool hall and have a grey hound…vodka…grapefruit…then come back and eat again then blog…see yall later!

Olbermann saying speech full of condesencion, sarcasm and tone is other nasty remarks.
~~~~~~~~~~~~
They’re saying all that because they have no real rebuttals to offer. They’re toasted and they know it!
Well I thought Rudy was good but Gov Palin was superb – next to Hillary – this is the first time that I had tears in my eyes – and I am an OLD MALE that can appreciate someone that stands for good in the world – you can tell Cindy McCain likes her as well – I loved her holding VP Palin’s young son -
ya know not for anything, but the repub’s ran a fair and non back stabbing campaign.. i mean sure they dogged each other, but~ they have unity… and THAT makes me sad for my party and how they acted!
(watching on C-Span) no fox, no cnn, and NO msnbo!!
all i can say is WOOOOOOW…
Obama camp said speech was just same as we’ve heard for the last eight years? What? I’ve never heard a speech like that before. they were quick to point out speech was written by one of Bush’s guys. I bet BO would like to have him!
that sarah palin is a beautiful woman in so many ways..john mccain was sent an angel ..
207 Blue Blue Gal
Yes and yes.
I’m not voting for mccain’s policies, I’m voting against democratic electoral fraud and other corruption, and your boy’s party’s sexism…
Just get over it.
Poor stupid bots now need to go back to Pee Diddy for response as they have all lost their voice.
I hear “Save the best for Last” in my ears and it will be ringing until all PUMA’s and other right minded people go hit the polling booths.
I would now like John King to go over Dumbocratic electoral vote map. It is now looking orange and red. No more blue.
Wow! Gov Sara Palin just won this election!
Thought Rudy was so funny and brillant as well as Sarah.
DID YOU NOTICE THE REFERENCE?…
IN HER SPEECH, SHE SAID A LINE STRAIGHT FROM HILLARY’S STOMP SPEECH, “WHEN THE LIGHTS GO OUT AND THE SPEECHES ARE DONE…” DID YOU GUYS PICK THAT UP?
Andrea Mitchell appears depressed!
Jeesh CNN has 6 pundits sitting there. I bet they were prepared to tear into her but they can’t and they are actually parising her.
#260 blondlady -
My take from today
MORE of the SAME = BO speak and the teleprompter is stuck until Nov 5th.
they look so good together… i thought she would make him look older…but i was wrong..
I watched it on CBS and as much as good old Katie Curic tried to get her “profesionals” to say anything please anything negative – they all said it was a risk but an excellent speech -
Why did I Not write down what she said about Change – anyone here quote it for me – will be using it a lot in the next few weeks I am sure -
We cannot forget that Hillary opened doors for this women, but she is a women standing on her own, that is what it made this so important to us, your vote is your choice, we should not go after people’s choices..
WOOHOOO – GO PALIN, SHE KNOCKED IT OUT OF THE PARK! SPECIALLY ABOUT WHEN THEY HAUL OFF THE STYROFOAM COLUMNS BACK TO THE STUDIO…..ROFLMAO. SHE NAILED HIS GOOD.
I WILL BE PROUD TO CAST MY VOTE FOR MCCAIN/PALIN.
*61 IS RUNNING SCARED!
Sara Palin: HOMERUN!!!!!!!!! WOOOO HOOOO!
I like her!! I think she would make a great VP…
come on Hillary supporters. Really think about your choice… and go with McCain. (for those leaning towards Obama)
Anyone can talk about change, but WHO can deliver change?????
McCain 08
Obama used change to advance his career.
McCain used his career to advance change.
#270 Gogandalf – she said about change – on BO – it will be change to further his career and on MCC it is his career that further’s change (something similar)
thanks taggles for keeping track.
SJP
omg… “ya know not for anything,”
I haven’t heard that expression in probably 30 years and I love it and use it, even though no one knows what I mean when I use it!!
Except, I say: Ya know, not for nothing…. but”
I’m happy! Hillary should be proud of her sister! Good night PUMAs…
Lets see those big poll bounces now —- thank you Gov Palin
Arizona passes so they can be the state that puts McCain over the top in the roll call vote.
#250 Blue Blue Gal on 09.03.08 at 11:24 pm
Ok cool. You freaked me out for a minute there. No one is becoming a Repub here, no worries. Well, I am for one day, election day. We are united against bozo and that speech was excellent. The Obots are freaking out now. They have no idea what to do except attack her family and make further stupid remarks about people in small towns. She said everything Hillary couldn’t regarding bozo. Hillary paved the way and our own party disregarded her. Palin held her own and then some. It was an excellent speech. The Presidential seal comment had me lmao.
#274 rlp33 – pardon my audacity of hope but this speech is so good that even the bots can be made to get out of their trance to embrace practical and only hope for concrete change
I am sworn not to vote for BO. I have been waffling about voting for McCain, or not voting for President. Gov Palin is making the Republican team more palatable. Why, oh why did our party do this horrendous thing?
I had my daughter at 40~ I thank GOD when I look at her that I was blessed with a healthy child as my ! I have a friend who’s daughter is a special needs~ and she is a beautiful smart girl! and the love I have for her is just as equal as my love for my own~ Maddie really is something!
She appeals to the same folks Hillary appeals to…
she was terrific, but I still grieve for Hillary! It coulda, shoulda, woulda been Hillary except for the cheating in the Dem party. Don’t know if I will EVER go back there.
I watched it on PBS and the commentary was subdued.
lord, the st paul convention center is a lot less glam than the pepsi center.
the bottom line is the republicans are WRONG about so many things, but WHY are the Democrats so
WEAK?
Thank you Lotus Boy – with all the blogging I plan on doing with newspapers soon – want to make sure I use that quote a lot AGAINST BO.
Hey in the presidency there’s NO present votes, That is very serious to think about
what lilymaid said.
HELLO PUMAS!
Aren’t women great!
Democratic Party was so stupid! Hillary should be proud, she paved the way!
she was freakin awesum
the party elite should be shittin their pants now
they definitly have my vote
stick it to the dnc for screwing us !!!!
i bet the pelosi dean and brazile nut wish they nominated hillary now
23 TexasTigress on 09.03.08 at 10:37 pm
When the boogieman goes to bed , he checks for Sara Palin in the closet !!!!
hahaahaaa!!! i love it!!
This rollcall is bittersweet. How I wish our’s had been honest!
where is BO – will there be binge drinking somewhere for JOE
BO and JOE would have lost their MOJO with this
Basically, in their attacks on Palin the DONC is going after motherhood.
what’s next? apple pie?
lord protect baseball.
Dean Inc. should be passing the razor blades around about now… slitting their wrists for being such sexist ignorant lackwits who gave the white house to teh republicans…once again.
You should hear Begula on CNN saying voters are interested in change and health care only.
#294 SouthJerseyPUMA – Well said
lord protect baseball… let us pray.
beyween the two now, we really do have a better choice in the repubs~ and maybe it wont really be so bad~ i know it will be better than obummer!
but i am enthusiastic about them~
#288 murphy ,
I going to tell you my opinion on that, because the leeaders of the Democrat Party are throughing themselves under the bus. That is why we are here with you.
Sarah beat a Democrat and a Republican to get where she’s at Don’t under estimate this lady, she can handle her business
wolfson couldnt say anything bad about her
i love it
i am a man and i am so pissed at the way the media and nobama treated hillary (and the dnc’s complacense )
now the media is doing the same crap to her(sarah ) but i think her and rudy slapped them all down tonight
I cannot wait for the VP debate now. She’s gonna destroy O’Biden. He’ll start stuttering and say some terrible offensive gaffe then he’ll lose his mind and start chanting Barack America, uh, yes we can’t?
If anyone here doesn’t know what a REAL & FREE Roll Call Vote looks like~~~The Republicans are having one right now on C-Span.
Wow!!! How about that Rudy!!!!!! He and Sarah put BS Obama right where he belongs.
I don’t see how he can ever answer them in any meaningful way.
I wish it could have been our Hillary, but it’s not and there is nothing left of the Democratic Party I’ve known all my life.
You rocked the whole world tonight, Sarah, and I am just one of millions who LOVE you!!!!!
I enjoyed seeing that Sarah has guts and is smart. Sorry folks, I was thinking of Hillary all the way though. Thinking of how much deeper her soul reached us, but I did notice the pride in the eyes of the Republican woman and I am so glad for them they have a roll model like I do.
D@mn Bo and all the dreamers of the O train for not letting Hillary win an honest election.
I am really happy to have heard Rudy and Sarah smack obie cupcake upside of his empty head.
300# lotusboy
no no! i cant take credit~
it was #23 TexasTigress
Love that graphic up-top Murph…I hate guns but love that she made obie her target.
I keep thinking how I wish Gov. Palin was a democrat! If she were part of our party, she would have already purged all the stupid stuff like buying delegates, etc.
Once again, the old guy, John McCain shows us why he has survived again and again: He knows his stuff and how to pick his partners. I am comforted that he has picked Sarah Palin as VP and on numerous occasions, Hillary Clinton to work with in the senate.
Obama has talked about his intention to reach out to everyone, at least in the early parts of his campaign. John McCain didn’t talk, he took action. How I wish he were a democrat too.
This is a good quality, abiet a republican, ticket. Obama will have a really hard time beating them.
Sarahhhhhhhhhhhhh!
Thank you Hillary!
282 Sisterluck
by the time this election process is over i will be waaayyy too informed on every states’ election codes. here in texas i can choose one from column a and one from column b if i want – it’s right there on the ballot – yee haw – so from the bottom up i can go democrat as high up as i care to. i am only faniliar with the three states i have lived/voted in. i only ask that people think about their local precinct/city/county candidates when casting their vote.

Go’s lurkin- she wouldn’t miss this ! CLINK !
SARTOM – thank you that was exactly it – 14th attempt – and counting.
As a man, I say this was one of the best political speeches I’ve heard in years, and Sarah did us all — women and men — proud. About damn time that the women take charge of government. “The Precious” is toast!
Where is Asian4Hillary??
Oh man I’m having so much fun on here but I gotta get up at 5 am so I have to go..keep them coming everyone so I can keep up and keep reading . Nite everyone
If she and MCC win in Nov – it would be sweet revenge for all PUMA for them to do this – thank all the bots first, then all the media, then the DUMBDEMS, then sincerely say that the PUMA’s made it possible, then to all the middle, corner, east west and south sides (yeah south side too) of the country for disbelieving the change we did not believe in and finally say – Thanks HRC and we will see you take it from here 2012!
Tonight I’m left with the question~~”Why didn’t Hillary stand up like Sarah did?” And another question~~~Murphy says the Republicans aree wrong. I ask, “How?” I totally agreed with everything Sarah has said in her last 2 speeches. Someone tell me what I’m missing.
Night (((( SLY)))
Love that Sarah….OH…yes…

speaking of baseball, the littles got autographs from Mike Lowell tonight. he was having dinner at the Rainforest Cafe in Burlington MA (god knows why) and was totally incognito but absolutely gracious to these three little kids who came up asking for autographs on the back of their Puma PAC business cards. We heart Mike Lowell at our house tonight — of course the teens are all “what about jacoby?? was he there??” but my sister and I are like, “Jacoby who?” we like mike. he’s more our age and totally handsome and friendly.
And have I mentioned that I make a mean apple pie? a terrible cook otherwise, but I can do that.
night all.
long day of family for me/
nothing is simple —
be non-manichean to each other.
tomorrow is another day!
Brazile is an idiot. She’s a loser!
The republicans have shown us quality, AND true unity. Not this empty song and dance at the DNC that was so obviously contrived at the expense of the democratic voter.
The DNC was all symbolism and no substance, here we have substance.
I have a special needs daughter. I know a woman can work and still take care of her family. All this working mother bashing is just reaching by the Obamaites. When Sarah P. said she would be the friend of families with special needs children, tears ran down my face. This is a powerful statement from a potentially powerful woman. Somehow, I do not doubt her.
Brazile said she gave a canned speech and that the bar was placed soooo low for her and all she did was clear it .
316 TexasTigress
Brazile and Rolland Martin on next …..
———————————————
Ugh, brazile. She’ll yap about stop the hate and blood in the streets if obama doesnt win. Pfffffffffft
Brazile never stops. Dumb, dumb, dumb. I feel an email coming on.
go-andersen is here — i just know it.
bwahhaahhaaa!
Wow! The weapon of choice!
I totally teared up when she was talking about special needs parents. So heavy.
That was awesome!
The glass sealing is so history!
Rolind is saying that it’s community organizers that save home and jobs etc and she dissed them .
The Democrats are weak….because they are weak and have no ‘guts’ for getting down and dirty on the battlefield. We have high standards. But it’s hard to fight for standards and even harder to live by them. Sometimes it IS about putting one’s life on the line.
Brazile is so low class she can’t even see the bar!
Hi everyone! Well that was just a phenomenal speech. I have to share a story with you all. On the night of the last primary, my girlfriend and I watched Hillary’s speech with anticipation. When she got to the point where she said “I will be making no decisions tonight” my girlfriend and I leaped to our feet and high fived. You would have thought we were at the World Series.
I bring this up because tonight, we watched Sarah Palin’s speech and again found ourselves leaping from our chair and high fiving. I love our Hillary and will work my butt off to get her elected in 2012. As for 2008, I’m proud to cast my vote for McCain/Palin in part as a protest and in part because I truly believe they can do a better job.
Love the graphic up-top! Leave it up for tomorrow again, pleeze!

DonnaBanana is wondering if Sarah can keep up in a debate with Biden.
What’s a matter Donna, why aren’t you asking the real question, why is obie too afraid to debate with McCain?
“on the back of their Puma PAC business cards.”
LOL!! Future Puma PACers of America!
Sorry, but here is another petition that is worthwhile. They are trying to get a million signatures by Sept. 10 of those in support of impeaching Bush.
http://salsa.wiredforchange.com/dia/track.jsp?v=2&c=NQSeJgAc3sxfaDxhZiZtkNungBKX6OGs
Hi queen81,
I’m having connection probs at home so just checking in briefly. Please tell yournorthernneighbor sorry I missed her & BB tomorrow.
Cable guy coming tomorrow, hope he’s cute (LOL)!
Roland couldn’t organize a tea party. Did he get his job thru affirmative inaction?
Anderson Cooper just nailed them and said ,” I don’t remember you guys talking about who wrote the Democrats speeches “
I’m sure that Hillary is in McCain’s plans. He recognizes intelligence and knows how to use it. We’ll probably see more of her in the next four years than we did in the last four.
Hi Dances,
How is our new “Stopping Caucus Fraud in its Tracks” bumper sticker coming along?!!
You do awesome work!!
Sarah was awesome!! I cried. My heart is very happy tonight!
Thank you, Hillary, for paving the way.
#338 TexasTigress – Some one needs to tell Martin that she only meant the proclaimers not the real ones. BO is proclaimer and that is what she attacked
Brazile ought to know a lot about low bars, don’t ya think? I sure wish she’d hurry up and resign from the party… I just know she’s going to keep her word and quit, right? (sarcasm intended).
#345-BillieJo
RIGHT ON!!!
345 BillieJo~~~ Donna is still high on pepper spray and dumb pills.
Great Donna opened her mouth now I’m pi*sed She did not just say we Clinton supporters all went back to BO, and did you all hear her just repeat exactly what BO’s camp said about repeating what Bush says. Ok I had to get that out ok now goodnite eveyone I will be sleeping with Foxnews on tonite these people are so stupid.Goodnight. Game on.
Will do hillstheone! Good luck with your cable man…nothing wrong with keeping him there a bit longer if he’s cute!
I thought she was brilliant. As an “independent” now, I don’t have to justify to any party why I will vote the way I’m going to vote. I’ll give my vote where it may serve a larger purpose in the end. So what if writers helped create that speech? It said many things we have been screaming about for weeks and weeks. She got to say them. A woman got to say them.
I couldn’t have done what she did after the raking she’s received all week. Grace under pressure. Wow!
I can’t believe you guys/gals are watching CNN, crap news network. They are so far up bozo’s behind, they can’t even breathe. Campbell Brown has received an email from me. She just came back last year from having a baby I believe. I can’t believe she’s on there spouting off about women in the public office/spotlight that have families. HYPOCRITCAL TRASH.
#332 Henerietta on 09.03.08 at 11:49 pm
I agree with you. I teared up during the special needs children part of Sarah’s speech. I truly believe she means it. She’s a fighter. I so miss Hillary.
352 hillstheone
Oops! I was home sick today and didn’t get to it. Would tomorrow be okay?
I can’t promote McCain. I will advocate for all choices against BO, even tho I know it may be considered a wasted vote, unless it is for McCain. I may vote for McCain, but will be silent about my decision because it will hard for me to do, especially considering Supreme Court Justices…and my son-in-law in Iraq. But I will not reward great sin when it is used as a means to an end.
Goandersen, Gooooooooooooooooooooooooo, come back PUMA…we miss you and you aren’t answering to my yahoo chat buzz.

SouthJersey,
Speaking for me, I don’t know if I will ever be recouped from Denver…at least, not until Hillary is in the White House!!!
why are they all passing? are these the states for bozo?
Brazile DID say Clinton backers were all behind XO ..
Hi Dances,
Tomorrow would be perfect. & put those little PUMA tracks across it! Then we will send it to Murphy & all the other PUMA’s can order them.
The Republican Roll Call is more interesting and exciting than watching CNN or MSNBC. (tongue-in-cheek)
I removed Donna from my world. She is of no value to me. She is of no value to our cause.

Sweet dreams, PUMAs. Growl in delight at the moon tonight.
TexasTigress,
I _like_ Anderson Cooper, I think he’s the least biased of the msm guys…
I understand hillstheone~
i do… but o can not become pootus!!(lol type o and will leave it!!!) lol…
OK I’ve sent my email to Brazile. Did anyone else hear Gloria Borger say the democrats have been holding back on attacking her, but now that she has started it, their attacks will become rougher. Wow, that is some spin!
Obama is NOT ready or qualified, don’t even know how we could even consider electing such an unqualified candidate to lead this country. I think we have lost the love for this nation. Guess we will elect P Diddy next he’s got as much experience as Obama.
SouthJersey,
Speaking for me, I don’t know if I will ever be recouped from Denver…at least, not until Hillary is in the White House!!!

I agree with you 100% PUMA girl.

What a shock, the Repubs don’t have to vote in their hotels on a clip board and be chased down the halls by people that don’t feel the necessity to have all votes counted. Democrats should try it sometime.
Candy crawley is saying that women who eviscerate an opponent do not come out on top . it played well in the hall , but won’t out in the public ..
#359 Lin4Hill – and with good writers, mad and bought crowd, teleprompters and media anybody can give a “make believe” speech if it comes from their mouth. the difference in St. Paul is that it coming from their souls and CNN needs to be told that. Exclude Hill, Bill and the guy from Montana cause their speeches at Mile High were good.
237 Sisterluck on 09.03.08 at 11:21 pm Never thought I’d see the day when Hillary’s name was cheered at a GOP convention. Never thought I’d see the day when I was glued to the TV during a GOP convention. Never thought I’d see the day loving the VP nom’s speech at a GOP convention. Never thought I’d see the day when the Democratic Party turned into the Obot, anti-democracy, anti-woman party. Insane.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
It is crazy. I am still trying to figure it out. It seems the parties are changing and switching places. I need more time to think about what is happening. But I am impressed with Palin. She is sort of a tough good woman. I think Biden will look like mush compared to her especially if he shows up drunk again.
Palin apparently favors contraceptives and education in schools on contraceptives. But once pregnant she favors completion of the pregnancy. So I support choice. But her choice is different. All in All if she is elected I see a fast advance for womens rights in the next four years. Maybe not everything we want but a good movement. I think the heavy sexism of candidates will not be tolerated. then we put in Hillary.
Obama entire crowd is pure 100% male chauvinist pigs. Anyone who votes for the pig is making a big mistake.
We must advance womens rights as much as possible each election. This year the choice is clear for me. I will definitely vote for McCain and Palin. I really like her. she is spunky and honest. I really like the idea of a regular person getting in there and not the corrupt washington crowd. We will never clean up washington with people like Obama and Biden. Joe Biden is a real pig drunk.
If next election we have Hillary vs Palin that would be real good for womens rights. There then should not be sexism in MSM too much. That can only help us on our journey.
But beyond all this I believe Obama is dangerous and must be stopped. We have a few weeks to stop him. Right now Obama is leading in this election. We have our work cut out for us. I hope the polls begin to swing away from Obama.
Let me say also that stopping Obama will be a big strong point for Hillary next time. Next time they will listen more to Hillary. Remember the last win was with Bill. I think she will get the nominaton for sure if we defeat Obama this time. And I think she will win the election over Palin pretty easy. Everyone will support Hillary. So defeating Obama now almost guarantees Hillary victory 2012.
Go Hillary Go
Wooo Hoooo this old gal had three meb watching Palins speech with me and one was a bot and he changed his mind and said he loved her and will vote for her
men
Any one not for Obama is great in my books.
Sarah Palin is wonderful in her first official coming out.
So entertaining too.
She puts the symbolic knife into the DNC with a beautiful smile. She gets it.
Palin was _great_. Can’t say I’d vote for her, but she was great & tonight was way better than anything Denver offered America last week.
favorite aside moment: when her daughter combed over the baby’s hair w/her hand (spit on her hand first), too dang cute…
I hate computer problems but oh well. GTG, tomorrow will be a better day.

“Obama camp said speech was just same as we’ve heard for the last eight years? What? I’ve never heard a speech like that before. they were quick to point out speech was written by one of Bush’s guys.”
~~~~~~~~
Talk about sour grapes from the Obama camp. And what struck me is that in his response — I believe he said something like it was a canned speech of more Bush-like rhetoric. But the thing that sticks out in my mind about him saying that is how quickly he had gotten a response out — which tells me that his response was canned. Probably issued to the press before Palin actually gave her speech. Because typical of Obama — he figured she would be predictable (like himself) so he would be safe getting in a dig against the Bush -McCain connection. Only problem is Palin is completely unique… so his statement will appear ridiculous as it should.
Hahaha — I’m loving it.
South Jersey Puma – The states are passing because Arizona McCains state will put in the votes to take him over the top… pretty cool
CNN has a poll….go take it for Palin’s speech!
candy rot’s your mouth~ so I dont chew on it~
Blitzer just said that the Obama camp had no trouble dealing with hillary clinton so they know how to deal with a woman !!!
Mccain/Palin 2008
WOW… and wow again….
Still doesn’t make me wanna join the (R) but I’m impressed with her and McCains courage choosing her.
I can’t wait til 2012 when Hillary and Sarah vie for the Whitehouse. What a bunch of debates those will be!
‘Til Hil’, McCain & Sarah will do!
I swore off MSNBC but I just can’t resist watching the stunned, depressed looks on their faces right now!!!! It’s the Sarah-Barracuda shock and awe campaign!!!!
Remember the Davy Crockett tall tales? He wrung off the tail of Halley’s Comet? Well, I think we should all make up tall tales (and I don’t mean rumors about her sex life!) about Sarah Palin from Alaska. Here’s my first try:
Sarah Palin is SO tough she can dress a moose while wearing heels…
Oh–ok–it’s not such a good one but I’m sure you guys can come up with better ones! She will become legendary as the woman who said what Hillary wanted to say about Obama but couldn’t because it would ruin her career in the Democratic Party.
it gives me the creeps to imagine how unbearable it will be in this country if obama gets elected..
its bad enough now how I just cant stand obama supporters..imagine what a hell it will be like after he gets elected..
oh God save us!!!
ohhh so this is it~ arizonia~ 53 votes!
catch you’all in the morning-
good whisker twitching, ear scratching, curl your tail over your nose, deep sleeping pumas ready to prowl in the AM!
oh, and why they passed – it was to give all the states a voice in the roll call -

“Wooo Hoooo this old gal had three meb watching Palins speech with me and one was a bot and he changed his mind and said he loved her and will vote for her”

I can add to that story. My son watched her and said, “You know what? I’m no longer NOT voting for Obama because I want Obama to lose. Now I’m NOT voting for Obama so I can see Palin for 4 years.”

Murphy wanted to know what we have found in the media about sexism towards Sarah…this also includes our girl.
Sexism in the Media? Hillary Was Right.
Welcome Instapundit readers!
Hillary Clinton’s campaign complained about sexism in the media during his primary battle vs. Barack Obama, and we are seeing now just how right she was about sexism in the media.
Sarah Palin’s daughter Bristol has been revealed as being pregnant, and that story has dominated election coverage recently. (Note to networks: Bristol isn’t running for VP; Sarah is.)
Not only are the networks trying to drag this story out, they are also saying Palin is neglecting her children by running for vice president. (Stay at home, women, preferably in the kitchen!)
Palin Neglecting Her Children
CNN’s John Roberts said, “Children with Down’s syndrome require an awful lot of attention. The role of Vice President, it seems to me, would take up an awful lot of her time, and it raises the issue of how much time will she have to dedicate to her newborn child?”
Um, how about using good time management skills and receiving help from her husband?
46% of the workforce is made up of women, according to 2006 US Census info, and many of those women have children. Women can and should be able to pursue careers.
Dana Bash responded to Roberts’ suggestion by saying, “If it were a man being picked who also had a baby, but — you know, four months ago with Down’s Syndrome, would you ask the same question?”
On ABC, Good Morning America co-anchor Bill Weir said, “Adding to the brutality of a national campaign, the Palin family also has an infant with special needs. What leads you, the Senator, and the Governor to believe that one won’t affect the other in the next couple of months?”
ABC’s Cokie Roberts later interjected, “If you get a lot of questions about who’s taking care of the children…traditionally has very much angered women voters when women candidates are asked those questions and male candidates never are.”
Colmes Removes His Own Blog Post Attacking Palin’s Prenatal Care
FOX News’ Alan Colmes got into it as well. Colmes wrote on his blog that Palin didn’t practice proper prenatal care before she had her baby with Down’s Syndrome. Colmes is apparently now embarrassed by his ascertation, because he seems to have removed the post. This link to the post shows a 404 error, however, Google still has a record of his original post.
“Trophy Running Mate”
http://mitchellblatt.com/blog/2008/09/sexism-against-sarah-palin%22
And the media talked about – Mccain only knows her for 15 minutes and she is his VP.
I would say – She would have been my VP in 1 minute. So all you bots in the media – BACKOFF, jerks!

How I see it is if Palin and McCain win it sets the stage for a female in the White House and in 2012 Hillary is a shoe in!
Vote thumbs up go go go
CNN IS BS!!!!!!!!!!
#409 SouthJerseyPUMA I voted, but the numbers were exactly the same as you listed… could it be rigged?
I join everyone in celebrating Sarah Palin! She was dynamite. I was so thrilled to hear her state the truth about Obama–at long last someone finally said what we all have been feeling and thinking for so long. What a relief! Also, it was refreshing to hear her colleagues stand up against sexism–what those in the DNC would NOT do for Hillary. What a difference! Thank you Republicans for speaking the truth and defending your candidate! She is a class act and a genuine person. I am duly impressed.
Sorry, but Crap News Network, obot trash, will skew that poll. They are becoming the new MSNBC.
Yesssssss Hillary 2012 for sure and a new run for all women
that CNN poll ..you just know the obama people were prepped to manipulate that poll ahead of time..
it’s bull bleep..
Sarah is a natural! To come out and give a speech like that after the MSM’s attempt to thrash her is unbelievable. She takes no prisoners!
Sarah & Rudy nailed BO’s pompous persona. Go Team McCain/Palin!!!!!!!!!!
Wahooooooooooooooo!!!!
Someone keep track of the poll and we’ll turn it in to FOX!
Obama, Pelosi, Kennedy, Brazile and Dean hijacked the DNC and sabotaged the Hillary campaign and created this huge opening, now McCain just strolled right in.
The divided DNC will go down in flames.
Got to give McCain credit though, Palin is a fighter and she can take on both Obama and Biden at the same time.

Obama Had Close Ties to Top Saudi Adviser at Early Age
Wednesday, September 3, 2008 5:58 PM
By: Kenneth R. Timmerman Article Font Size
New evidence has emerged that Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama was closely associated as early as age 25 to a key adviser to a Saudi billionaire who had mentored the founding members of the Black Panthers.
In a videotaped interview this year on New York’s all news cable channel NY1, a prominent African-American businessman and political figure made the curious disclosures about Obama. (See Video Clip Below)
Percy Sutton, the former borough president of Manhattan, off-handedly revealed the unusual circumstances about his first encounter with the young Obama.
“I was introduced to (Obama) by a friend who was raising money for him,” Sutton told NY1 city hall reporter Dominic Carter.
“The friend’s name is Dr. Khalid al-Mansour, from Texas,” Sutton said. “He is the principal adviser to one of the world’s richest men. He told me about Obama.”
Sutton, the founder of Inner City Broadcasting, said al-Mansour contacted him to ask a favor: Would Sutton write a letter in support of Obama’s application to Harvard Law School?
“He wrote to me about him,” Sutton recalled. “And his introduction was there is a young man that has applied to Harvard. I know that you have a few friends up there because you used to go up there to speak. Would you please write a letter in support of him?”
Sutton said he acted on his friend al-Mansour’s advice.
“I wrote a letter of support of him to my friends at Harvard, saying to them I thought there was a genius that was going to be available and I certainly hoped they would treat him kindly,” Sutton told NY1.
Sutton did not say why al-Mansour was helping Obama, how he discovered him, or from whom he was raising money on Obama’s behalf.
A Sutton aide told Newsmax that Sutton, 88, is ailing and is unlikely to do additional TV interviews in the near future. The aide could not provide additional comment for this story.
As it turned out, Obama did attend Harvard Law School after graduating from Columbia University in New York and doing a stint as a community organizer in Chicago.
The New York Times described how transformative his Harvard experience became for the young Obama: “He arrived there as an unknown, Afro-wearing community organizer who had spent years searching for his identity; by the time he left, he had his first national news media exposure, a book contract and a shot of confidence from running the most powerful legal journal in the country.”
The details of Obama’s academic performance are well known: At Harvard, Obama rose to academic distinction becoming the editor of the Harvard Law Review and graduating magna cum laude.
Less known are the reasons al-Mansour, an activist African-American Muslim, would be a key backer for a young man from Hawaii seeking to attend the most Ivy of the Ivy League law schools.
Khalid al-Mansour a.k.a. Don Warden
In an exclusive interview with Newsmax from his home in San Antonio, Texas, al-Mansour said he would not comment specifically on the statement by Percy Sutton because he was afraid anything he said would get “distorted.”
“I was determined I was never going to be in that situation,” he said. “Bloggers are saying this is the new Rev. Wright — in drag! — and he is a nationalist, racist, and worse than Rev. Wright. So any statement that I made would only further this activity which is not in the interest of Barack.”
But in the lengthy interview, al-Mansour confirmed that he frequently spoke on university campuses, including Columbia, where Percy Sutton suggested he met Obama in the late 1980s, and confirmed his close relationship with Prince Alwaleed.
“I am not surprised to learn about this,” said Niger Innis, spokesman of the Congress of Racial Equality (CORE). “It is clear that Barack Obama’s ties to the left are familial, generational, and have lasted for several years.”
Although many Americans have never heard of Khalid Abdullah Tariq al-Mansour (his full name), he is well known within the black community as a lawyer, an orthodox Muslim, a black nationalist, an author, an international deal-maker, an educator, and an outspoken enemy of Israel.
A graduate of Howard University with a law degree from the University of California, al-Mansour sits on numerous corporate boards, including the Saudi African Bank and Chicago-based LaGray Chemical Co. LaGray, which was formed to do business in Africa, counts former Nigerian President General Abdusalam Abubakar on its advisory board.
He also sits on the board of the non-profit African Leadership Academy, along with top McCain for President adviser Carly Fiorina, and organized a tribute to the President of Ghana at the Clinton White House in 1995, along with pop star Michael Jackson.
But his writings and books are packed with anti-American rhetoric reminiscent of the Rev. Jeremiah Wright, Obama’s disgraced former pastor.
In a 1995 book, “The Lost Books of Africa Rediscovered,” he alleged that the United States was plotting genocide against black Americans.
The first “genocide against the black man began 300 years ago,” he told an audience in Harlem at a book-signing, while a second “genocide” was on the way “to remove 15 million Black people, considered disposable, of no relevance, value or benefit to the American society.”
In the 1960s, when he founded the African American Association in the San Francisco Bay area, he was known as Donald Warden.
According to the Social Activism Project at the University of California at Berkley, Warden, a.k.a. Khalid al-Mansour, was the mentor of Black Panther Party founder Huey Newton and his cohort, Bobby Seale.
Newton later had a falling out with Warden, who was described in a 1994 book as “the most articulate spokesperson for black nationalism” at the time.
The falling out wasn’t purely political, according to author Hugh Pearson.
“Sometimes Newton and the other members of (Warden’s) security detail got into fights with young whites who didn’t like what Warden had to say about whites. Rather than ‘throw down’ along with the security detail, Warden refused to fight,” Pearson wrote in “Shadow of the Panther: Huey Newton and the Price of Black Power in America.”
U.S. Rep. Barbara Lee of California entered an official statement of appreciation of Warden and his Black Panther colleagues in the African-American Association in the Congressional Record on April 23, 2007.
“Among the founding members (of the Association) were community leaders such as Khalid Al-Mansour (known then as Don Warden); future Judges Henry Ramsey and Thelton Henderson; future Congressman and Oakland Mayor Ron Dellums, and future Black Panthers Huey Newton and Bobby Seale,” the Democratic representative’s statement said.
Al-Mansour’s more recent videotaped speeches focus on Muslim themes, and abound with anti-Semitic theories and anti-Israel vitriol.
“Today, the Palestinians are being brutalized like savages,” he told an audience in South Africa. “If you protest you will go to jail, and you may be killed. And they say they are the only democratic country in the Middle East. … They are lying on God.”
He accused the Jews of “stealing the land the same way the Christians stole the land from the Indians in America.”
The Saudi Connection
But al-Mansour’s sponsorship of Obama as a prospective Harvard law student is important for another reason beyond his Islamic and anti-American rhetoric and early Black Panther ties.
At the time Percy Sutton, a former lawyer for Malcolm X and a former business partner of al-Mansour, says he was raising money for Obama’s graduate school education, al-Mansour was representing top members of the Saudi Royal family seeking to do business and exert influence in the United States.
In 1989, for example — just one year after Obama entered Harvard Law School — The Los Angeles Times revealed that al-Mansour had been advising Saudi billionaires Abdul Aziz and Khalid al-Ibrahim in their secret effort to acquire a major stake in prime oceanfront property in Marina del Rey, Calif., through “an elaborate network of corporate shells in California, the Caribbean and Europe.”
At the same time, he was also advising Prince Alwaleed bin Talal in his U.S. investments, and sits on the board of his premier investment vehicle, Kingdom Holdings.
Prince Alwaleed, 53, is the nephew if King Abdallah of Saudi Arabia. Forbes magazine ranked him this year as the 19th richest person on the planet, with a fortune in excess of $23 billion. He owns large chunks of Citigroup and News Corp., the holding company that controls Fox News.
He is best known in the United States for his offer to donate $10 million to help rebuild downtown Manhattan after the 9/11 attacks. But after the prince made a public comment suggesting that U.S. policies had contributed to causing the attacks, Mayor Rudy Giuliani handed back his check.
“I entirely reject that statement,” Giuliani said. “There is no moral equivalent for this (terrorist) act. There is no justification for it. The people who did it lost any right to ask for justification for it when they slaughtered 4,000 or 5,000 innocent people.”
Since then, Prince Alwaleed’s Kingdom Foundation has given millions of dollars to Muslim charities in the United States, including several whose leaders have been indicted on terrorism-related charges in federal courts.
He also has given tens of millions of dollars to Harvard and other major U.S. universities, to establish programs in Islamic studies.
The casual statement by Percy Sutton to NY1 is the first time anyone has hinted at a relationship between Obama and the Saudi royal family.
Although al-Mansour glosses over his ties to the Saudi mega-billionaire in some of his public talks, he has represented the Saudi’s interests in the United States, in Britain, and in Africa for more than a quarter century, according to public records.
He told Newsmax that he has personally introduced Prince Alwaleed to “51 of the 53 leaders of Africa,” traveling from country to country on the Saudi prince’s private jet.
He knows virtually every black leader in America, from the business community, to community activists, to the worlds of politics and entertainment.
When Michael Jackson was on the ropes in the mid-1990s following a series of lawsuits by the parents of children accusing him of sexual abuse, al-Mansour introduced him to Prince Alwaleed, whose Kingdom Entertainment signed a joint venture with Jackson in 1996.
“Jackson and Alwaleed became pals in 1994, when a mutual friend from Alwaleed’s college days in California arranged a lunch meeting aboard the prince’s yacht in Cannes,” Time magazine reported about the new partnership in 1997.
The mutual friend was al-Mansour.
“As a black American, I am exceedingly proud at the American people’s response to Barack Obama’s candidacy,” said CORE’s Niger Innis. “But to deny that he has long-standing ties to left-wing elements in our polity is to deny reality. If you want to be president of the United States, it is not racism if you ask these kind of questions, and he has to come up with an answer, hopefully the truth.”
Sutton gives no clues as to why al-Mansour would be raising money to help Obama go to law school. Obama has said during his campaign that he paid his way through Harvard with student loans.
For Jesse Lee Peterson, founder of the Los Angeles-based Brotherhood Organization of a New Destiny (BOND), these latest revelations about Obama’s ties to Saudi financiers were an important wake-up call.
“To me, this opened up more questions about Barack Obama and his relationship to the Muslim world,” Peterson told Newsmax.
“A lot of people are caught up with the emotional aspect of Barack Obama, the movie star aspect, the false promises that he’s going to take care of everyone and their Mama.”
But when the full story of Obama’s ties to radical preachers such as Wright and to black Muslim leader Louis Farrakhan comes out, Peterson believes that Obama’s star power will fade.
“I think there’s more to this story and to Barack Obama than we realize,” Peterson said. “As all the truth comes out before the election, I don’t think he has a chance. I can’t see American’s taking that kind of risk.”
The Obama campaign did not respond to requests for comment.
Percy Sutton Reveals Association Between Khalid al-Mansour and Obama at Age 25
I just had a ‘poetic’ thought: Hillary (and Ferraro before her) paved the way for Sarah. Sarah has acknowledged and thanked them.
Now the Republicans are doing what they always do; Carrying on a good idea that originated with Dems: Having a qualified woman on the ticket.
Now, ironically, The Republicans will make it possible for Hillary to run next term. It will be the battle of the titans: Hillary vs Sarah! One could not have done it without the other!
How about a true bipartisan ticket – HRC in 2012 and Sarah Palin as VP.
Now that is really history making Wolfe Blitzer and JAckAss Cafferty.
Just voted in the CNN poll! It’s been a good night for Pumas. I agree with the others, it’s strange to be this fired up for a Rep convention.
What’s the saying, be careful what you wish for because you might get it!
The DP really underestimated our opposition to Cupcake.

My favorite line was about BO writing two books and then he never authored any decent piece of legislation.
Priceless Sarah!
Hope, Change and 4 more years of Bush policies..
I think this mantra of the DNC is sounding absolutely stale.
Obama losing the election will speak volumes against his lowdown campaign.
Sarah Palin was spectacular – a normal down to earth family.

I liked when she said thaT BO uses change to promote his career and McCain uses his career to promote change.

hOLY sheet. Is that article in a newspaper ? or online?
holy cow !
I love this woman! She tore Obama apart with a smile! Can’t wait til she is up against Biden she will tear him apart. Got Obama Camp running scared way to go Sarah!
Hillary 2012
Now that you bring it up where is Go Andersen, Trish, Asian4Hillary and Maryland Puma – have I gone mad??
Goodnight you amazing group of Pumas ! Sleep well – I have a feeling we will be busy tomorrow
Harry Reid said the speech was “shrill” and cnn is going
nuts…because now they’re afraid of being called sexist.
LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL
it seems to me that if obama loses in november by a slim margin they will blame the loss on the clintons and hillarys supporters..
the clintons will be on top of the AA bleep list ..the democratic party will never select any candidate who cannot win the support of the AA vote because they have taken so much control over the party leadership and machine..
I think hillary will never be considered in the future as a nominee for president in the democratic party..maybe as an independent but not as a democrat
After that speech, BO & MO and the rest of the Obots can crawl back under their rock. Go Sarah Go….Great Speech….you have BO now right where everyone wants him.
#459 Gogandalf – perhaps they were in early in the day. Did you check earlier posts?
October…as long as BO loses…
Hillary will make her own path, and we will be there ready to vote for her!
Hi PUMAs!
Sarah just knocked one out of the ballpark and the Democrat political contributors said that it was a good speech but not strong enough????? Obama has something to worry about. I hope most women will get behind this woman regardless of party affiliation. She has gut and determination and poise and refreshing. But McCain & Palin cannot win unless we do our part to defeat Obama in November. I’d love to see Hillary vs. Palin in 2012.
Rudy: Obama is the LEAST experienced candidate in the last 100 years.
I loved when Guiliani said “when have they asked a man that question, WHEN!?!!
#462 october surprise – more reason for real bipartisan politics or can I say tripartisan politics taking shape
#462 october surprise
When BO loses in November, the party will place the blame on him. This is why. He has had the advantages of the media, money, the DP, bundlers, and so on.
I said this before, it is so strange that a female Republican candidate is our winning ticket to defeat Cupcake!
the dems are so scared that the “ONE” is going to lose. CNN said tonight, “do you think Barrack made a mistake by not putting Hillary on the ticket”….are you kidding me. Hillary is to good to be 2nd. SHE SHOULD BE THE PRESIDENT.
I really thought Sarah hit a grand slam! She’s a winner!
NOTE TO MURPHY
Sarah Palin was born on February 11, 1964 an Aquarius, who was suddenly thrown into the public eye, just like another Aquarius that we know, our own Darragh Murphy
Murphy and Palin have these two things in common, they were both thrown into the public eye and are excellent speakers who handles themselves with grace.
It seems to me that Sarah Palin just made it a whole lot easier for those who will do a Protest Vote this year and vote for McCain.
jennifer…
I LOVE THE WAY YOU SAID THAT!!
Tonight was a sad moment in our nation’s history.
No, I cannot support the McCain Palin ticket.
No way.
How anyone can possibly compare her to Hillary Clinton — that is just plain nuts.
Palin is there because a bunch of white guys (Rove, etc.) plucked her out of obscurity in order to further their fundamentalist far right agenda. She did not earn this spot, she is massively underqualified, and I will not support THIS — ANOTHER — fraud on the American voter, either.
People are nuts to buy into the Republicans. Just plain nuts. They are no different than anybody else, and to my mind, they are potentially much worse.
can’t post again. see the guy behind Greta’s shoulder? That is my heart doctor from ky. lmao
She’s not Hillary, but she’s good. I know who I’m voting for, and it’s not O.
“Nothing on top” wont work. It will only guarantee BO the election. It’s got to be McCain/Palin in 2008. Crying over spilled milk (over Hillary) in NOTHING compared to how we will all be SCREECHING if BO wins.
Country before Party!!!
Obie’s guy on CNN was just talking about his ethics reform he passed to counteract Palin’s speech.
Oh yea…we have proof of the ethics of Obama and here is the proof: http://www.lynettelong.com/CAUCUSFRAUD/
What huge lies………just ask Hillary Supporter about Obamas ethics.
I love being nuts then!!! Palin rocks.

#474 firechief – it would be a sadder day on Nov 4th if what you want to happen, god forbid, really happened. Extreme left with international mission to belittle America and cause psychological abuse of common American mind is worse that extreme right and lastly a bunch of white guys do make it as American. Why do you see color there? Rev Manning knows the truth and Juan Williams too
Is firechief a bot???? No wonder he is more nutty than I am.
You will never believe what Donna Brazile emailed me back. She said she is in pain over what has happened to her people (New Orlean) but she wold kick my ass tomorrow and called me sick and mean.
Class and kick-butt all the way Sarah!
Kick’im where it hurts. A taste of his own medicine.
And this is just the beginning.
More power to you woman!
I like them more and more simply because they’re not “traditional, country club” republicans.
If it can’t be Hillary (so far anyway, but you never know)
then McCain/Palin.
Without a doubt.
I might be a lil nuts, ok, but to be putting down a woman like Sarah Palin like that is just plain WACKED!!! Onme might, to be honest, put themselves in Sarah’s shoes before condemning her.
#485 BigCatLover on 09.04.08 at 12:41 am
Tell Donna to stop the hate.
The liberal media has been truly disgusting since McCain’s announcement of Palin last Friday. I’m glad to see that she came out tonight swinging. Despite the tremendous spotlight on her, Palin hit it out of the ball park tonight.

and~ that needs to be sent to phil berg!!! the lawyer in PA doing the lawsuit!
grrrrrrrr 7th time
What is Brazilla afflicted with exactly? She ain’t right.

Republicans ROCK people…give them their props. Sarah KO’d BO with one speech because she could SPEAK THE TRUTH….
I am NOT A Republican, but I will damn well be voting like one come November….

LOL. I can’t believe she is getting into it with an emailer so soon after she was on CNN. Maybe she’s still on CNN emailing me. She loves to fight.
Sarah Palin needed a homerun and delivered an obaminable grand slam!
#474 firechief on 09.04.08 at 12:37 am
Yeah, it’s a “sad moment” when a woman gets nominated for VP of the United States. The first ever in the Repub party. You sound like the Obot media pundits who devalue her experience and her career. No one asked you to vote McCain/Palin. Vote 3rd party or whatever. We don’t like bots and we don’t like sexism. End of story. No one is saying she is Hillary. Who can compare to Hillary? But we can acknowledge a great speech when we hear one and this is a HUGE step forward for women in national politics. You can thank Hillary.
Trish, goandersen, Maryland
We miss your commentary. Hope all is well!
484 bluegrasstrina~~~ I did NOT say that firechief is a bot. I just asked if a bot might have slipped some koolaid into her coffee. It does sound so unlike her. Someone please tell me what makes Hillary so much better than Sarah. Afterall, Hillary quit. She didn’t step up to the fight, even with 18 million behind her. But Sarah DID step up, with God only knows how many AGAINST her. Give me a break!!! Or go see a shrink!!!
Sorry, didn’t mean to say you did? I was only asking. I don’t need a shrink either.
Amazing, wondered how the Obama supporters felt about Sarah Palin and this is one post:
By Ro Man 20 minutes ago (Updated 20 minutes ago)
TIME FOR THE OBAMA CAMP TO RELEASE HILLARY CLINTON ON
THIS ***B*** !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! HILLARY IS THE BEST SURROGATE TO
TAKE TRAITOR UNPATRIOTIC FRINGE PALIN DOWN!!!! AND
BELIEVE ME IT IS IN HILLARY’S BEST INTEREST TO DO SO!!!!
COULD YOU IMAGINE PALIN ABUSING HER EXECUTIVE POWER AS
VICE PRESIDENT TO TAKE DOWM HILLARY? SHE ALREADY
ABUSED HER POWER AS MAYOR OF MOOSEPORT AND AS
GOVERNOR.
They think of Hillary as THEIR tool. Their pet attack dog for obie when they stole her delegate votes and gamed the election. Fcuk off Obama supporters.
I’m going to bed. Sarah kicked butt and won all the respect I did have for Hillary. We were with Hillary right up to the convention, ready for the biggest floor fight they ever saw, and she folded. And people still support her. So why can’t they give Sarah the same respect and chance? Did I miss something? Was Hillary the Governor of a state or the wife of one?
Good night all. Pray for a miracle for this blog between now and morning because it really needs one.
The Obamabots will be frothing at the mouth tomorrow.
(Bluejay – the PUMA formerly known as sandbag)
Each time I bring up Sarah Palin’s environmental record here – well, it doesn’t seem to generate much interest, and it a few instances, some downright unpleasantness.
I’m sure you all know by now how devoted I am to the protection of the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge. So was Hillary (*sigh*). On the other extreme, Sarah Palin is a vocal proponent of drilling. I heartily disagree . . .
While she was speaking tonight, I received an email from the “Defenders of Wildlife” organization. They expressed grave concerns about Gov. Palin’s environmental record, specifically that she proposed paying a $150 bounty for the left foreleg of each dead wolf turned in, that she approved a $400,000 state-funded campaign to promote aerial hunting, and that she introduced legislation to make it even easier to use aircraft to hunt wolves and bears. Not cool, but consistent with her committment to the NRA.
I guess for many people this issue is neutral or unimportant in comparison to other things, but for me, it’s very large and something I could never support.
I don’t know where this leaves me . . . apparently back to square one with no candidate.
These women on Larry King who are critiquing Palin’s speech are killing me. Why, when you are at your party’s convention as the nominee and speaking to the people who nominated you, would you need to talk about the damned economy? Isn’t that preaching to the choir? The people who nominate you know what you plan to do about the economy already. You’re just supposed to say thank you, I accept and let these floks see just what you’re made of. She did that. So what the hell is Wasserman- Schultz and her sandbox friends talking about?

——————–
Grace, you have the right to feel what ever way you wish. I have admired and supported Hillary for years and my respect for her did not end at the convention. I will support Hillary for what ever path she may go. Although I wish the best for Sarah in her run for VP, she is a stranger to me and I will never just give her the same respect and admiration I have for Hillary just because she is a woman. 40 years of amazing experience and her stand on Universal Health Care has endeared Hillary to me forever.
Sorry guys, I don’t cheer and jump up and down just because a woman is nominated for VP. I jump up and down for the RIGHT woman (or man, for that matter) but Palin is not right, she is not the right PERSON.
When will you ever see that you are being manipulated by Karl Rove and all the others who have brought about the past 8 years of complete and utter disaster, that we will be paying for for generations to come.
I am NOT a troll, I am NOT an Obot, I have been blogging here for months since just about the very beginning, am a Hillary Clinton supporter, and so you can just cut out the obot talk.
People on the blog have a right to express their opinion, and just because I haven’t drunk the Republican Kool Aid doesn’t mean I can’t comment on Palin’s speech.
Sarah Palin was mayor of a small town, population 6000 or so, she ran the budget of that town into the ground to the tune of 28 million dollars, not everybody there thinks she’s done much of anything except attach her mitts to the coattails of those who were already working to get things done. Read the Anchorage newspapers, listen to the Anchorage radio stations and maybe you will see that not all is rosy in Alaska with Sarah Palin.
#501 LivingGrace, How on EARTH can you possibly say HILLARY QUIT? That has got to be just about the most outrageous statement I’ve seen here in months. You say Hillary didn’t step up???? OMG, what election have you been watching??? You are the one who needs a shrink.
I am so proud right now! Weeee!!!!

Sorry to burst your bubble but the Defenders of Wildlife is a huge bozo supporter. Check who they donate to in the campaigns. I love animals and the environment so I am not anti-wildlife. Just saying check your sources and their agenda. I think that’s one thing we have learned in this primary and election, that many have been bought by the bozo. Also, where she wants to drill in AK is very, very small and won’t affect the wildlife. She knows her state. She knows we need to drill for the short term and move to alternative energy sources for the long term. This is one of the few issues I agree with the Repubs on. No more sending our money to foreign governments who support terrorists.
firechief I am sorry. Mistake. please accept meant no disrespect.
Just put this on greta wire
Sarah Palin was really great tonight. To those on msncno who said it was written by (forget his name), did they say the same thing when BO gave his speech 4 years ago or when he made his very canned speech at the convention. (I will do this etc. when elected, I will do that when elected etc, etc.). No, of course not because it is against the law to criticize BO. (Personally, that part of BO’s speech sounded like I was in high school again when classmates who were running for school elections made the same type of promises -as many as they could think of- if elected I will do thus and thus. Sounded good, but we all knew it couldn’t be done!!!)
It is so interesting that when BO’s people are interviewed and they ask what he has accomplished, they really can’t specifically enumerate anything!!!
O”Reilly should put the pedal to the metal when interviewing Obama and ask him about his birth certificate, Larry Sinclair, Donald Young, what will he do when he can’t respond to a crisis by just saying “present” or by saying it is “above his pay grade”? He should ask how he is going to fund his million person civilian army (sounds like big brother will be watching).Why his campaign had to admit that he lied about his infanticide vote and how can he advocate letting a newborn die so cruelly? Why did he lie about being a muslim (not that he is one now, but lied about BEING ONE IN THE PAST)? Why did he lie about his relationship with Wright so many times until there was a drama staged at the National Press Club to give him an opportunity to “distance” himself from the man. What a ruse that was?
Sarah Palin showed herself to be ready to be the VP nominee. Sure she has a lot to learn,( but still has much more management and decision making experience that Barack Hussein Obama), but she isn’t running for the presidency. Barack Hussein Obama is running for the presidency, with as Hillary Clinton said, “only a speech” and as Joe Biden, Hillary Clinton and Barack Hussein Obama himself said (in 2004) that he does not have the experience to be president. The Democrats and the msm are going to do all in their power to discredit her and yet will not properly vet Barack Hussein Obama.
By the way, isn’t it interesting how one is not allowed to say Barack Hussein Obama? It would seem to me that he should be proud of his name. Yes???
BLOGGERS ARE COMING ON C_SPAN!!!! hahahaa!!
one just called her the beauty queen was despicable for attacking O’s experience!
ahhhhh… ummmm… ahhhhh…

Tonight was a sad moment in our nation’s history.
No, I cannot support the McCain Palin ticket.
No way. How anyone can possibly compare her to Hillary Clinton — that is just plain nuts.
——————————————————
Agreed. No comparison. But powerful in her own way.
“Palin is there because a bunch of white guys (Rove, etc.) plucked her out of obscurity in order to further their fundamentalist far right agenda. She did not earn this spot, she is massively underqualified, and I will not support THIS — ANOTHER — fraud on the American voter, either.”
———————————————–
You could easily substitute Oboy’s name for Palin’s in you statement. Except Oboy is running for President, not VP. All of the men in DC were “plucked out of obscurity” at the jumping off point of their careers.
I don’t care about their policies… I’m not voting for them for that reason… I’m voting for them to defeat Oboy. That the VP candidate is a woman, makes it all the more palatible. Never been so tired of non-PUMA men in my entire lifetime. I’ve even arranged my paper currency so I don’t have to look at their faces. Stopped watching tv on May 31, except for tonight, to hear Palin’s speech. She and Guiliani said everything Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton could not say, as prplvette reminded us.
Just get over it.
#484 bluegrasstrina on 09.04.08 at 12:41 am
Is firechief a bot???? No wonder he is more nutty than I am.

Stop the attacks of firechief. Just because this PUMA doesn’t agree with your choice of Palin and McCain doesn’t make them a bot.
I am getting tired of the attacks of the new people on this blog.
brent
I probably should too, but it’s like a train wreck and I can’t pull myself away sometimes. I had never noticed that Wasserman- Schultz was so unable to speak clearly and make sense. She must have sat in front of BO in school.
#511 firechief – but this is about MCC and BO. that is what media is saying. they now don’t want to compare Sarah cause she is only a VP.
truth is, this is play-off season. Those that suspended the campaign or otherwise have walked away leaving us to cheer for the finalists or take a break for the off-season to be over. I think one in hand is better than 2 in a BUSH
#520 BillieJo, I think if you will look back up you will see an apology from me on this. No problem, will go back to lurking.
We are going to do it and without the help of any one! Because our vote counts! We matter. Look at that hot political musical on you girl!
OMG OMG I don’t have to lose anymore! I can be on a winning team for a change and vote for a woman I am proud to see.
You guys go stick to whatever make ya happy, I am going to get a flipping woman in the white house! Screw losing all the time and waiting in some imaginary line for our turn! Lets go get this done!
This IS the most important vote of my life!

#412 LivingGrace
LMAO
Sarah did a great job. Hillary did the same- day after day, month after month. Here is the biggest irony. Republicans are fighting media and the DONC against the onslaught of sexism towards their candidate. Too bad the Democratic party isn’t PROGRESSIVE enough to support a woman for POTUS, and fight back against the sexism. Wow. I never thought I would see the day when Republicans showed the country how to move forward in terms of equality. The Democratic party is pathetic.
527 brent222
Unbelievably… she’s worse! It’s not like a true stutter, because that really isn’t funny but she trips over her tongue trying to say what she’s thinking and realizes halfway through that it isn’t the right answer but tries to sell it anyway. Sad!

You can say that again. Not only the White House, we need conscious women in all leadership positions to counter the effects of the neaderthals IN ll their grandiose primate graniosity. I don’t believe they realize that they present as a group of wilding pompous blowhards. We’ve just been tolerating the best of the worst all these decades. The game is over.

I appreciate your apology to firechief, it was visible to me after I posted. My comment isn’t to just your words it is to many new PUMAs that have attacked PUMAs that have been on the blog for months and have worked hard to help Hillary long before many of you came her. We try to treat eachother with respect and all of you should try to do the same. Goandersen was attacked today, so was Greenfun and they are long time, wonderful PUMAs that I don’t like to see hurt. I hope Goandersen comes back to the den. We all have a lot of emotions over this election, picking on eachother is not the environment we like to have here. Please everyone heed Murphy’s daily line, Today is another day, be kind to one another.
She is under-qualified to lead this country, especially should she have to step in and become President.
The DNC ought to be quaking in its boots because of how their little plan is falling apart. And the RNC is licking their chops because they might just buy themselves another 4 years or longer to push through their ultraconservative wingnut agenda.
I’ve been on this blog for a long time, am generally mild-mannered in my posts, but this week I have seen such a change in the tenor of posts here. You cannot imagine how worried I am about our country right now. I’ve been voting a long, long time….
I wish more people would spend more time and energy and thought looking into the details of the McCain Palin ticket, really research Palin’s politics, before y’all jump on the bandwagon.
I will say it again: I am not an Obot, I am not a troll or whatever name you want to call me. And guess what — I am a woman.
BTW, Thank you BillieJo and bluegrasstrina.

He’s not my cupcake.
God just gave us a bit of Hillary tonight as we watched Sarah’s speech. She is a knock ‘em out of the park candidate and running mate for McCain. She was a cheap date for John McCain because she put on a big show for the Republicans without the styrofoam pillars and firework show. Sarah brought the glitter au natural to the convention. I can see them all eating moose stew together in the White House. lol They’ve got my vote. Nite all.
i believe i hear a siren in the breeze calling…
I got this image tonight of Obama and Hillary back in the Senate in Jan., sitting across from each other. He’s glaring at her, she’s just looking at him and shaking her head.
But then I figured, he’s too much of rock star to go back when he loses, and Hillary will probably have a cabinet post.
I won’t name any trolls specifically… let’s just say one rhymes with Tempion… and another rhymes with liarchief.
My apologies for being bad… can’t help myself sometimes.

“Sarah Palin: Tough on polar bears”
(excerpt): “In May, Palin said she would sue the federal government after it declared polar bears an endangered species. Here’s what the Anchorage Daily News reported:
She and other Alaska elected officials fear a listing will cripple oil and gas development in prime polar bear habitat off the state’s northern and northwestern coasts…
Climate models that predict continued loss of sea ice, the main habitat of polar bears, during summers are unreliable, Palin said.
The announcement drew a strong response…
“She’s either grossly misinformed or intentionally misleading, and both are unbecoming,” said Kassie Siegel of the Center for Biological Diversity. …
“Even the Bush administration can’t deny the reality of global warming,” she said. “The governor is aligning herself and the state of Alaska with the most discredited, fringe, extreme viewpoints by denying this.”
535 firechief
She is under-qualified to lead this country, especially should she have to step in and become President.
——————————————————-
Not as underqualified as Oboy, and he’s running for the presidency. With Palin, you’re counting on McCain dropping dead, with Obama… oh, nevermind.
If you don’t like McCain/Palin, don’t vote for them Simple. No one on this blog tells anyone else how to vote. The one position in which all PUMAs are in agreement is: No vote for Obama. That’s the fee for membership here. (Cheap at half the price).
Sarah Palin was awesome and so funny. She bashed Obama and did it with ease.
I think I have the same disease, Dances.
We need to make up some “Pumas for Palin” t-shirts.
#535 firechief – glad to know your gender since at one point I called you a ‘they’ as not to offend.
I too listened to the RNC convention tonight and most of it frightened me, all the agenda about war and fighting…nuclear power plants…….and more. I did like to see a woman slap Obama around, especially after all the sexist cr@p they thru at her. I think she is smart and works hard and didn’t deserve the attacks on her or her family…and experience, what a joke Obama is when it comes to experience.
I calm down when I realize I am not choosing the best candidate this year, this is about a protest of the corrupt gaming of the DNC, Obama and the bias, sexist media that has ruined my Democratic Party and my favorite candidate, Hillary. I am not supporting the agenda of the Republican’s…I am using them to kick Obama in the n@ts!
#547 OhOHIO
And you know what else I noticed about all the speeches tonight? I noticed that they were all memorable. I’ll remember a lot of lines from their speeches for days to come. But I bet if you ask anyone (even minutes after the speech) if they remember anything Obama said — bet they can’t quote one single memorable thing.
firecheif~ i would rather not worry about my country by having national security!!! I WILL NEVER FORGET THE 2 FRIENDS I LOST ON 911!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! NEVER!
O wants to kill national security!!! you as a firecheif, if you really are, shock me in not thinking about that!!
I really don’t get the Palin is not qualified argument that the bozo supporters are pushing. First off, she’s running for VP, not Pres. Apparently, everyone thinks McCain is going to die off any day now. She has made executive decisions which means she has made big decisions that affect people’s lives, people’s taxes, people’s families. She has been in charge of the AK national guard.
Please name me one thing bozo has done. Passed off other senators’ legislation as his own? Check. Described running a 2 year presidential campaign as executive experience? Check. Promoted being an influential state senator who voted Present 160 times? Check. Ran for the next highest office without accomplishing a thing? Check. Wrote 2 books about HIMSELF but wrote no legislation? Check. Thinks that giving speeches amounts to voting in the Senate? Check. Compares himself to a VP candidate b/c he knows he can’t compare to his opponent’s record? Check. I could go on but I will finally stop.
The Dems have the crappiest ticket on record. In addition, it is backwards. The most experienced candidate should be on top of the ticket. I repeat…..the most experienced candidate should be on top of the ticket.
I am a HUGE Hillary supporter but I will NOT leave my ballot open to bozo fraud and I will vote against him and I will vote for Dems, depending on how corrupt they are, down ticket.

BO will be taped for the O’Reilly show tomorrow morning as I understand it. He will surely have a comment about Palin’s speech. I am glad O’Reilly is showing his interview over several days – that way it should not distract as much from the last night of the convention.
After tonight, the Dem’s should be trying to figure out a way to dump BO and get Hillary back on the ticket.

Sarah Palin was a total success! I hope Hillary does not come out to try to get me to vote for the Zero. Somehow I think she will not. And even though I don’t agree with many of Palin’s positions, I admire her character enormously, and I trust she will not sell out the country, say, to the Saudis. If Hillary were running, she would get my vote. And because I am against sexism in the media, I will vote for Sarah Palin, so that the good-old-boys will never call a woman “shrill” again.

Gave you big compliments downstairs. Hope you saw them. I agree with your statements on McCain/Palin ticket. That’s what makes this whole election so painful because the best person IS NOT ON EITHER TICKET. And that’s too bad for this country. I laughed a lot during the speech tonight because I saw the brillance of the politic play in that speech tonight. Her speech advisers and/or writers were exceptionally good matching words to her style. I don’t think the Obama campaign and the press were expecting the frankness and the match point that she delivered. Even though the republican platform is something I can’t and will not stomach, I do applaud the prowess of her speech.

#36, Kerri, I usually avoid posting anything that may seem critical of other posters, but your comment about not having a child at 44 was very uncalled for. I work with adults who have “special needs”, otherwise known as developmental disabilities and I can tell you that each and everyone of those folks bring joy and purpose to their lives and the lives of the people who care about them. A child with Down Syndrome can be born to a women of any age. To suggest that 44 year old women should not have children or that they should not make the choice to raise a child with a disability is surprising.

One of my favorite lines too…only I’m not convinced he even authored those books. I don’t think he’s written anything or accomplished anything in his life. I think he relies on others to make him look good (and I say that loosely — since he’s never looked good in my eyes).

Hi!!!
What do you think of BO’s new ad about McCain taking away our right to choose? I am sick of the DNC using this tactic to control us.
Some of the pundits, as we know, are saying that Sarah should be a stay at home mother. While it was most unfortunate and very, very sad, Joe Biden’s wife and baby daughter were killed in an auto accident in 1972.
Yet, he has prided himself on saying that he was a single father, who did his work and took the train home at night to his 2 sons who were badly injured in that accident. Shouldn’t the same standard have applied to this single father – shouldn’t he have stayed at home with his two sons who were severly injured and had just lost their mother and baby sister???? I guess the standard in this country is that women should only make babies, stay barefoot and be in the kitchen. lol

Hi Pumas:
I want to introduce myself if I may. I was first attracted to the PUMA’s probably a week before the DNC. I have followed your reports of your activities and Denver and I find your work passionate and inspirational. I too am questioning the collective leadership of the Democratic Party. They threw in the wrong candidate for a general election. My wife and I supported Hillary to the very end. Do they not realize that on Hillary’s team was a strong advisor – a former two-term POTUS? I also think that with that coronation ceremony that eerily reminded me of Triumph of the Will that the Democratic Party is now out of touch with the mainstream American public. The attacks aimed at Sarah Palin just help drive that point home.
You see, I grew up in Arizona. It is still my home and needless to say that being a consistent red state and McCain’s home state, McCain’s probably got my state in the bag. We are also the home of Goldwater. So I was raised a Republican and drank the Reagan Koolaid. But its affect wore off during the reign of George Bush I, and I began to see the Republican party as out of touch. It’s amazing that now I see the same in the Democratic party.
But I like most others on here will be making a brief visit to the dark side on the top of the ticket. I still believe in the ideas that Democrats have stood for – access to affordable health Care, assistance of those less fortunate, a women’s right to choose, the same rights for all regardless of race, religion, and sexual orientation.
I sure hope the Democratic Party wakes up in ’08.
Thecandypoem 581…Hear Hear. I am Strongly in support of ALL women. We need to be given the chance to lead. Hillary was OBVIOUSLY the ONE with the right agenda, but I support all women.
The pundits keep saying that “women will not vote for palin JUST because she is a female”…they just don’t get it. Of course, we were going to vote against Obama no matter what… but she sure makes a good point for voting for her JUST because she is a strong woman…and I believe many women will vote for her for just that reason alone.
Does anyone have the contact list for Oklahoma? I have not seen it when other states are mentioned. Will check to see if anyone answers alittle later.
Thanks

where did u c brazile?
BO, the DP, and the pundits got their wish. Cupcake is the nominee. But, it’s bittersweet. Think about how he ran his campaign slamming Democratic voters and having his surrogates do his dirty work with the race baiting and sexism.
We all understand the irony of a McCain/Palin ticket, but the DP created this mess.

#608 New Orleans Puma –
That is wonderful to read. Prayers do work wonders!
Two things that really annoy me.
I am not a military anything by any means but my husband has two purple hearts from being in Vietnam.
Yes, he got hurt and went back because he didn’t want to leave his buddies behind..
# 1 – A lot of people dismiss talk about 911 and national security – saying that it is just Republican scare tactics.. Did anyone vacate the malls when there were rumours about terrorists planning attacks on malls and bridges and airports. Does a code red or orange make you think twice about going out – to eat/shop/movies/fly/etc.
Do you not think that national security and the economy are intertwined ? Do you not think that if we had ONE single suicide bomber going into an airport or mall in USA, that it won’t bring the economy to a halt ?
Would tourists come ? Would you go to a mall ? Would you jump on the plane to see Aunt Martha without a thought? Would you drive over a crowded bridge or take a detour ?
And another thing about trying to pin the foreclosures on the Bush people. I am not a Bush fan by any means but I would like to chew bone with anyone who says that the greed of real estate brokers, mortgage lenders and foolish home buyers are not to blame. The Real Estate brokers/lenders etc. were making record profits and commissions by selling these half million dollar homes to wide eyed, just tell me where to sign people. I could not understand how my peers could afford to buy homes costing $500,000 or more on two wage earners income. If you do the math (and i can’t add 2 + 2 to save my life) but I can tell you that it takes a lot of money to afford a half million dollar home but every one I know in California were buying them up like there was no tomorrow. Friends I knew were selling their homes for 3 times what they paid and trading up for these monster mansions. I had a 21 year old employee (worked for me for 9 months) , with a boyfriend of one year, buy a $250,000 condo. His job was shakey and she only made $10 an hour. You could not tell them that at age 21 they need to re-consider …. I tried and the bottom line was that she quit her job when she got her loan approved. I can tell you more about people I know…their foolishness and impatience at owing a home beyond their means. When the market crashed, they all said they did not know about this adjustable rate…this that and everything. I am not be-littleing anyone. Just take responsibility. It is not the Governments fault and now we must bail them out. There is such a thing as responsible house ownership.
America is only the land of Milk and Honey when you work for it.
late night digression – thank goodness most people are asleep.

haha BILLIEJO~ have my pain tearing me up tonight~ so i am lounging spreading out for a quite night~ shannon’s first day of school 2morrow.. then dr’s… i am ready to pull my hair out! cant take obots tonight~
actually i am relishing in the after glow!

hehe..
Palin gave an outstanding speech and yes it is great she is a woman.
I seem to remember so many people (not here) talking about someone named Obama giving great speeches.
#222 sharp claws – I am another one of those old time democrats and you never need to sarcastically feel sorry for me. Some of us old time democrats go beyond great speeches and believe democratic core values are more important. The democratic party is severely wounded and I thought one of the primary missions here was to revive it not pump up the republican party.
Firechief, I’m not a troll either. I did not realize that voting republican was required to prove this.
Although it is no one’s damn business, I am not voting for Obama and I am a woman. Believe me I know what sexism is having worked in corporate America for 27 years and struggling to run my on business for 25 years.
I will always be a Hillary supporter and a supporter of other good democrats. Yes, there are good democrats.
I will always strive as I did in my professional careers to help women achieve their potential.
A great speech but not enough for me overlook other issues.
I thought Sarah Palin did a phenomenal job. I WAS SO IMPRESSED WITH HER.I worked my butt off for Hillary Clinton during the primary season,. I raised $15,000 for her. I went to Texas, Pennsylvania, Oregon,and Washington D.C. to campaign for her. Last week when she stopped the roll call vote, and gave the nomination to Obama I cried my eyes out.
Not only did I feel betrayed by the DNC, but this was the first time I watched Hillary surrender. I know they basically held a political gun to her head, BUT IF I KNEW SHE WAS GOING TO DO THAT, I NEVER WOULD HAVE WORKED SO HARD.
Now Sarah Palin comes along, and I am thrilled. I realize she can help John McCaIn win this election because after watching Hillary get abused with sexism. and now Sarah,ENOUGH IS ENOUGH!!
Woman need to rise up and put an end to this nonsense. Then Hillary can run for President in 2012, and all will be right in the world.
McCain/Palin 2008
#535firechief: I researched Palin a long time ago. She is a reform candidate. The candidate for President of the United States put up by the usurped Democratic Party is absolutely unualified to be President. I don’t fall for bait and switch….Palin has done more than Obama can even think of. We don’t elect a committe to be President. We don’t have as well a Parlimentary government, where a party leader “runs” the government. We elect a person, one person. The issue is who is the most qualified person to run this country.
I wonder what you think people have been doing here and during these last 10 months if not, among other things, research. You need to tell the WA Dem. party and the DNC that no inroads will be made with at least me. Your boy, Obama, is going down in November.
#596 puma.sf1
I suppose this all they have, and since that is not working, they grasping at straws. Unfortunately that’s the only straw they have …..
I don’t call voting McCain a protest vote… I call it a lesson vote – teach Obama/DNC a lesson. Perhaps the next time they will play fair.
And folks… leaving your choice of President blank is just inviting fraud from both sides..more likely from Obama’s camp. He said loud and clear “I DO NOT INTEND TO LOSE THIS ELECTION”. Read what you will in between the lines.
Brazille was on either Fox or CNN. My mother kept flipping channels. We just laughed after she was questioned about the speech. She had nothing to say but “The speech was a strong one….Obama will have to answer to the charges made…” She seemed dissapointed….
Good night all!

The little girl is into it! Very comfortable… political career in her future! cute cute cute”
I thought the exact same thing. Everytime they imaged Piper, she was animated, open faced, and had intelligent eyes, bright and shiny. When her mom introduced her and the crowd was applauding out of control, she looked around and mouthed “me?” while pointing to herself like she was overwhelmed, then stood up and bowed and waved like a pro. How old is she, 6-7?
At the end when they were on stage together, Piper waved at everyone with no embarrassment or fear. She’s just like her mom.
And you can tell McCain and Cindy likes Piper, just by how they particulary fawn over her. She’s probably a fun young un to be around.
Forget Sarah, maybe Obama and Piper should debate, she’d kick his a*s, herself!
She reminds me of my youngest daughter (shes 27, now tho).

#615 – freddiebrown
I agree with you on the housing market to some extent. I’m in real estate and worked in new homes here in CA.
I don’t know if it was the same in other states but at the height of the market the builders were pushing us agents really hard.
I got into more trouble in one year with the builder I worked for than in my entire 16 year career because I wouldn’t play some of the games they wanted. As a result and some heated words with my sales manager about morals and ethics, I was fired.
I’m better off for it because I can sleep at night knowing that everyone of my homebuyers were able to afford their home and they knew what they were getting into.
For those with a weak constitution…..
Close your eyes at the ballot in November…bring a Barf Bag if you need to….choose deserving Democrats down ticket……
Vote McCain/Palin on top……It is the only way to oppose the Democratic ticket.
#619 pamawo
Once again, we are in complete agreement.
pamawo~ again, many of us did not leave the party, the party left us! and I do not want O and his communist leftist corrupt NOT dem party in the white house! so to keep him out, I WILL VOTE McCAIN! and the way they presented the RNC tonight, was just what O deserved! I will take 4 yrs~ and who knows!!! Mac and Palin just may be a different GOP in some ways and reach across the lines~ he has proven that already! and did you know Palin had to do the same? she worked more with dem’s than her own party!
NObama NOway NOhow!

“I do not intend to lose this election.”
Abraham Lincoln had a great quote. You cannot govern another person without their consent.
In one speech, Sarah Palin defined BO to the country. She accomplished in one night what Pumas have been trying to do since June 3.
well said 619 pamawo i feel the same way for the most. Hillary is the one for me and she allways will be. I will never vote for BO and i will be working for Mccain/Palin and then keep doing what i am doing now. Writing letters and whatever it takes to get Hillary in as President in 2012 mean while i have to do the right thing to keep BO out for the sake of our country.I will be working at the Henderson office for Mccain/Palin as i believe i will be choosing the lesser of the two evils and voting for a third party is a wasted vote and just helps BO but that is my right . Everyone has their rights to do what they think is right. But in the end we are all PUMAS and all for the same cause and thats our Gal Hillary. We will fight for Human Rights and a real Democracy. A better and New Democratic Party and for the women of United States and all around the world to not be sedond and third class citizens. No more sexism , no more playing the race card ,no more misoginy. Palin will pave the way for all of us and Lord knows the ones who were really paving the way were Geraldine Ferraro and Hillary Clinton but for now we have to do what we have to do. and for me it’s Palin but just for this time.
pamawo~ and the roe vs wade DOES NOT SCARE ME!!!
it is just one more scare tactic trying to make us think it will be overturned!!! and honestly, I am sick of it being thrown in our faces as women!!

Think of it like this all behavior has a consequence, since DNC & Obama have behaved so poorly they need to be held accountable for their actions….. When you don’t play fair you forfiet the game…. Well this is not a game, however lying stealing and manipulating is not OK…. There for there is a consequence, you screw the voters over and they kick you to the curb….That’s their consequence……

It is terribly important to be able to sleep at night and look at the mirror in the morning and know that you lived right and the money you made was not at the expense of someone else.
The foreclosures are not entirely the fault of our government. People have to take responsibility for their own actions.

Now for the rest of the story – I took the “big” builder to court.
I called them on their reasons for firing me and took on their high power attorneys. Presented all my evidence on their practices and they settled out of court.
I don’t believe in lying and cheating which is why I am here supporting PUMA. What happened was wrong, wrong, wrong and having just been through all of this on a microlevel I can’t stand cheaters and liers.
The news will not stop bashing women like Clinton,Ferraro and Palin they will keep it up and we all have to do whatever it takes to stop this. I am so disappointed in Bill Oreilly having BO on his show tomorrow the last day of the Republican Convention. I am sure that was the day BO picked to go on his show as to take away from Mccain but i felt that was wrong and very rude of Oreilly and i wrote him and told him so.If BO was a woman i’m sure Oreilly would have changed the day
Before I go to sleep, here’s to the memory of Don LaFontaine, voiceover artist extraordinaire, who passed away yesterday . . .

what do you expect from a guy who dates sponges

I love that you are such an active PUMA !
Keep writing – keep up your bully.
P/S: I hated Vegas – it was so hot and I hated having to work all day when the DNC was going on. But we had a great show – in this tough economy it was difficult for me to skip out on business.
BO is dead in the water now,this should have been Hillary not the air head BO, i will vote for McCain & Palin.
And for Hillary in 2012. we must stop BO to save our country!!!!!!
The local radio station I play at work has been running a very long Obama ad all day about how John McCain will make abortion illegal.
I called them today and told them I couldn’t have their station on till the ads stopped, because they were offensive to too many of my customers.
Hey just a little humor makes life easier at times….
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g_BWmcYopNo
Unfortunately, the ads about the right to choose, with the appointments of the next supreme court justices do influence some women. I have been fighting women in my own family about that saying that it is a scare tactic and that it is up to the states. Well then their response is that the states will outlaw abortion rights. Personally, I am pro choice and wish that there was some middle of the road ground that McCain/Palin could reach and still keep all sides happy. That I know would be a very difficult chore. Maybe, someone here can put their “thinking cap on” and come up with a good solution. It is my personal opinion that they would never overturn roe v. wade as I think there would be much too much uproar. Also, please correct me if I am wrong – Wasn’t John McCain at one time pro choice? As we all know, politicians change their minds!!!
BREAKING: Sarah Palin “Winged” Her Speech Because of “Broken” Teleprompter
http://www.redstate.com/diaries/redstate/2008/sep/04/breaking-sarah-palin-winged-her-speech-bec/
Yes i know what you mean freddie and yes lol October you bothe are so right. I had a bad fall today right after leaving the cardiologist today in front of a few people and was so embarrassed lol but now i am so sore. Yet all i kept thinking of was what can i do to help Democracy and our Rights as women and all human rights. I go to bed and my mind keeps thinking and it takes me forever to go to sleep.
I love all my Puma sisters and brothers and dearly love Murphy for all she has done for us. I am proud of what a fighter she is.
LuckySeven Murphy might have the answer to that. I am not sure
Rudy was great tonight….the whole convention was great… life feels good again

Guess Joe didn’t get that memo from Barack America !
(comment by Don)
Blog from the Political Punch blog:
Sept. 1, 2008
Oh, That Joe! (No. 5 in a Series) — Biden says: Now is the Moment for me ‘as a US Senator Running for President’ to Put Aside Politics.
At a Scranton, Penn., Italian festival this afternoon, Sen. Joe Biden, D-Del. standing on the side of a black Suburban, took the microphone to address the downtown crowd and explain why Hurricane Gustav precluded his campaigning today.
“I will be back, I’ll be back to campaign in earnest,” Biden said, “but today is not the moment for me to campaign. Today is the moment for me as a United States senator running for president to put aside the national politics and focus on what’s happening down there” in the Gulf Coast.
Biden has still spent more time this election cycle campaigning for president than he has running for vice president.

and then this on my youtube from

Saw your comment “Mr Berg~ you MUST prove and get the far left marxist outta here!!! OUR CONSTITUTION IS EVERYTHING!!! YOU ARE TELLING THE TRUTH PHIL!!! SouthJerseyPUMA”
I see from AmercasRight. com that Obama should get his papers tomorrow.
This case could get interesting as well as the outcome. Is Obama the hanging chad that will put this election in the hands of Judges? Or will more Americans come to their senses and elect McCain/Palin?

OMG!!!!!!! IT IS HAPPENING!!!!!!!!

#118 notfollowinthepiedpiper on 09.03.08 at 10:57 pm notfollowing– where’s her teleprompter??
~~~
Looks like she occasionally turns the page of notes on the podium
~~~~~
Greek columns hauled back to the studio! LOLOL
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
I heard that she did not use a teleprompter. She spoke from her heart. She had some notes to give her topics so she did not miss things. She is a good speaker.
There also were some males asking who wrote her speech implying they would destroy her without a speech writer. But it was coming from her apparently.
I think she will win the debates. Obama would have a hard time with her. Joe Biden does not have a chance. I can hardly wait to see her crush Biden.
Halfway through Sarah Palin’s speech tonight at the RNC, people following the speech noticed she was deviating from the prepared text.
According to sources close to the McCain campaign, the teleprompter continued scrolling during applause breaks. As a result, half way through the speech, the speech had scrolled significantly from where Governor Palin was in the speech. The malfunction also occurred during Rudy Giuliani’s speech, explaining his significant deviations from his speech.
Unfazed, Governor Palin continued, from memory, to deliver her speech without the teleprompter cued to the appropriate point in her speech.
Contrast this to Barack Obama who, when last his teleprompter malfunctioned, was left stuttering before a crowd unable to advance his speech until the problem was resolved.
Sarah Palin. Winner.

What happens if Obama is removed as the Democratic Party nominee
Friday, 29 August 2008 00:06 administrator
E-mail Print
We are receiving many emails asking what happens if in fact Senator Obama is forced to step down or is removed as the Democratic Nominee. For this reason, we have posted the Democratic National Comittee’s 2008 Call Rules and
Regulations pertaining to replacement of a Democratic Nominee.
In particular, page 19, Section “G” states:
G. Filling a Vacancy on the National Ticket: In the event of death, resignation or disability of a nominee of the Party for President or Vice President after the adjournment of the National Convention, the National Chairperson of the Democratic National Committee shall confer with the Democratic leadership of the United States Congress and the Democratic Governors Association and shall report to the Democratic National Committee, which is authorized to fill the vacancy or vacancies.
sweet dreams PUMA’s~ xo
Hillary ran the baton all the way to the finish line, but the judge at the finish line snatched it, and gave it to the runner from the opposing team to cross the line. Disgusting!
Thought I would let people know incase you missed it, Wolf Blitzer tonight said that the woman from Ebay (the first billionaire female) was going to give her “little background” about how she got to where she was today.
Howard Dean sent out an email in response to the RNC tonight. He mainly just begged for money while once again trying to make women’s issue a single-issue for voters. So, I decided I would compose a response to the Chairman that you all can delve into below. I also sent it to the Terry McAuliffe and Harold Ickes. Hope they enjoy it even if it’s just in the silent rebellion of their heart.
Have Fun
Dear Howard Dean,
I wish you would have taken our vote as Democrats and as women a little more seriously. I wish I could have seen leaders of this party stand up to the media bias and sexism. But, instead, I saw a former DEMOCRATIC President and current United States Senator thrown to the DOGS while Democrats participated in destroying the reputation of these two DEMOCRATIC LEADERS. I wish you would have taken the respect owed to the 42nd president a little more seriously. So, now I ask you, how is it that we can go and ask the voters to elect a Democrat when this party’s nominee said indirectly in his campaign, every day, that the last Democrat made no change and went even further to insinuate in his nomination speech that the previous Democratic President didn’t look any different than the Republicans?
I wish you would have taken the role of REPRESENTATIVE DEMOCRACY a little more seriously. But, “party unity,” even if it was through strong armed and manipulative tactics, was more important than allowing the 18 million DEMOCRATIC VOTERS to be heard and respected on the floor of the Democratic National Convention.
I wish that I would have seen real political discussion regarding our candidates. But you allowed DNC officials who are in the back pocket of CNN to trash voters in the South, in the rural areas, in areas needed by this party to WIN the ELECTION. Any place in this country who did not fully embrace ”the nominee’s” candidacy, you allowed those US citizens and active DEMOCRATIC VOTERS to be portrayed as RACISTS. Then you allowed that label to be taken and plastered across the face, back, and reputation of President Clinton and Senator Clinton. THAT IS UNACCEPTABLE FROM THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY.
As of today, the 1/2 term junior senator community activist who’s home city was the location of a public school revolt today, has NOT issued an apology or made any attempt to clarify, correct, or even undo the public damage that was done to President Clinton, Senator Clinton, or the voters who supported Hillary Clinton during this election year.
You, Howard Dean, have misled me as a DEMOCRAT in what your real intentions for this party were. I am disillusioned and EXTREMELY DISAPPOINTED with this party on local, state, and national levels. Locally, I have received verbal attack for questioning “the nominee” and have been ostracized by local candidates for whom I respected, supported, fundraised for and voted for over the last two years. I have been completely stunned by the words and actions of our state Democratic leadership like Gray Sasser and Governor Bredesen who chose to have their own unity champagne brunch and be photographed drinking their unity champagne brunch on the front of the Knoxville News Sentinel rather than stand with the over 335,000 DEMOCRATIC voters (53%) of the state of Tennessee. Nationally, I feel I do not recognize my own party any longer. Somewhere between standing up for voters rights in 2000 and swearing for 2000 to never happen again to hosting this historic primary that ended with the reputation of a president being destroyed by his own party and women being discounted until the Republicans nominated a woman as Vice President, my party lost its way. I WILL NOT BE CHAINED TO A SINGLE ISSUE, ABORTION, FOR THE REASON AS TO WHY I HAVE TO VOTE DEMOCRATIC, HOWARD DEAN. Single issue voting such as abortion is what the Republicans do, Mr. Party Chairman, not the Democrats.
It is unfortunate, but I will NOT be casting a vote for the Democratic ticket this year. It’s not just a matter of how much I agree with our “nominee’s” virtually untested philosophy but it also matters how he got to where he is, who he insulted, demeaned, and ostracized along the way, how many times he has changed positions with the prevailing wind and how he manipulated the process and people to have himself thrust into the nomination that he did not earn in a fair or respectable way.
It is unfortunate that our nominee chose to run a campaign that consisted of Rovian tactics that alienated and divided people and then left it up to the two most respected Democrats to take full responsibility and clean up the mess that he has been largely responsible for creating.
Now, perhaps my thoughts don’t matter, to you. Perhaps, this really is just politics as usual and the idealistic notion I had of my party was never there to begin with. Maybe, since I’m in Tennessee and this state has been abandoned by the party (except for Congressman Harold Ford Jr.’s campaign) with corresponding results from voters, perhaps you don’t care what I think. Perhaps since I’m one of those young voters (30 years old, 29 during the primary) who was inspired long ago to vote Democratic rather than waiting for “the nominee” to lead me to enlightenment, you don’t think I count. But, Chairman Dean, you need me. You need me for the phone calls, the door knocks, the one to one engagement of voters, especially in the South. (I think you forgot about bringing this party to the guy in the red pickup truck, waving the confederate flag. But I didn’t forget and i still believe in that)
This party needs young people like me who’ve stood and been battle tested on the ground at places like Neyland Stadium in Knoxville on football Saturday. There, I stood on a corner holding my signs for Democratic candidates. There I stood, in the minority, getting cursed out by people who espoused to family values, getting trash thrown at me by people clearly with money who screamed about liberals taking their money, getting signs ripped from me by people who were supposed to be there to reach a higher level of learning. And I also stood there for the people who couldn’t tell any of their friends or family that they were a Democrat. I stood there thinking that if ONE person felt okay about voting for a Democratic candidate that I had done my job.
Well, Mr.. chairman, I took all of the crap and abuse that has been part of every republican vs. Democrat campaign going back to the beginning of partisan politics.
But, unfortunately, this year in my short travels across the southeast bringing Senator Clinton’s message to the voters of the South and to the voters of rural areas of southern states that gave us Democratic Presidents, I found “the nominee’s” campaign on the ground to be so similar in word and action that I could not tell the difference between his campaign and certain previous campaigns from Republicans. Maybe you think that is good since that is what the Republicans won with for 8 years. But, in my opinion, that sort of change in this party, is not the change that we need. Inspiring people to scream racial comments and slurs for disagreement or support of a candidate different from the one they support or inspiring people to sling insults of the worst kind for raising a question, is not the kind of Change we need in the Democratic Party. In 2000 just outside my polling place on campus, a man carrying a bible and dressed in his Sunday clothes got in my face and screamed at me “ARE YOU FOR KILLING BABIES?” During the 2008 Democratic Primary, a woman screamed at me “YOU’RE A RACIST B-” for simply stating that I was going to vote for Senator Clinton. Those actions are no different and both were inspired on some level by the leaders and organizations that those people chose to follow.
Well, Mr. Chairman, I’m not a professional politician. I don’t have my professional future on the line based on my punched ticket to board the unity train to unitopia. I have resigned from my party board in outrage over sexism, bias, and manipulation of our Democratic Process. In my state, our 11 electoral votes are clearly going to go to Senator McCain, especially since ”the nominee” has barely stepped foot into this state. So, I thank the Republicans of the great state of Tennessee because they have given me the FREEDOM to truly make my own choice in this election and to NOT endorse, support or vote for the nominee and his machine, otherwise known as the DNC, that are responsible for the reprehensible actions displayed during this primary.
I OWN MY VOTE AND THE DEMOCRATIC TICKET CANNOT HAVE IT THIS YEAR!
#671 Dem4Hillary – Wow – you did all that and wrote all that ? I am so impressed.
good morning pumas¡¡¡¡¡¡¡
I HAVE NOT SEEN PALIN SPEECH BECAUSE IT WAS TO LATE FOR ME
BUT GREAT , SHE HAS THROWN A SLAP AT MR ESTRAVAGANZA´S FACE

Open Mic Night at MSNBC
Funny funny

I just had this fantasy:
During her debate with Obiden, Sarah asks sweetly, “Joe, did Barry ever confide in you when and where he took the Oath of Allegiance to reinstate his American citizenship? At 20 he still carried an Indonesian passport, and by law he had only one more year to switch back. But no one can find any records, as usual! So, simple ‘yes’ or ‘no’: Has he confided in you? I’d think it was something you’d have liked to know before you hitched your wagon to his star! And be warned, any double-talk or evasion and everyone in America will know and assume the answer is ‘No’!”

Not a soccer mom, a HOCKEY mom! If you’ve never had your kid in a game, you have no idea!

Can you tell I was a soccer mom ?…
Perhaps Senator McCain did get it right after all in
his choice of Govenor Sarah Pallin as his Vice President.
She is no Hillary Clinton, but her performance last night will help clear the obstacles for Hillary to return in
2012 as President.
Pumas should be reassured that this dynamic and intelligent woman will be a great “ally” to the Puma cause.
Good fortune. Shane, Ireland
Good morning, PUMAs!
Sarah Palin may be a Repub, but I like her alot!
I heard her teleprompter broke down for a bit last night, but I didn’t hear even one “uh”.
671 Dem4Hillary – that’s a beautiful letter. I can see you put alot of time and thought into it. Congratulations.
Sorry, good morning PUMAs! Do any of you sleep or do you just take “cat” naps? I hope you all have a great day today!
Clinton aides call Palin’s treatment sexist!

Just got an email from the Illinois Director of the Barack campaign calling Iowa, Michigan, Indiana, Wisconsin, and Missouri key battleground states. They plan to send teams from their Illinois base to these states every weekend between now and election. We all know what this meant during the primary. We need pollworkers in these states assuring everyone gets to vote and have their vote counted!
gallop tracking poll has BO 49% to McCain 43% (it may change) I turned on Morning Joe and they are having a field day with Sarah’s speech last nite and not in a good one for BO. They are do I dare say kinda love on this woman right now.
I loved Sarah’s speech. I hope McCain gets a big boost. Thanks, Murphy for the intro and photo. I’m actually going to load my 38 and have it handy just in case an Obot tracks me down.

I agree, I’m sick of the Roe v. Wade scare tactics!!! I think the ad is horrible & mis-leading!
opps sorry to say Good morning Puma’s , if anyone cares Joe Biden is on Morning Joe now here comes up the kiss up for poor BO.
REPOST THRU FRIDAYI’m posting this again as I believe we have until the end of the week to try and get Obama knocked off the ballot in all 50 states.. Send by fax so they are aware of what’s coming and then take to P.O. and have letters certified with a return receipt. I’ve already done Florida and so have several others. Someone is keeping a list of states but we are trying to get all 50 states represented. Feel free to use points in my letter but don’t copy it verbatim as I’ve already sent to Mukasey & Friedrich. I don’t think it has any punch if we all send the same letter. I also sent a letter to my Governor, that is up to you if you wish to do so. for those of you who have been getting responses from your SOS or anyone asking for proof, please be sure to write back to them reminding them that they have the power of subpoena and investigation.

Subject: Objections to Senator Obama being placed on ballot in Florida as Democratic Presidential nominee
Gentlemen:
I am a registered (YOUR STATE) (Dem-REPUB-IND) and a long time voter. According to the Constitution of the United States, Article II, Section 1, Clause 5:
No Person except a natural born Citizen, or a Citizen of the United States, at the time of the Adoption of this Constitution, shall be eligible to the Office of President; neither shall any Person be eligible to that Office who shall not have attained to the Age of thirty five Years, and been fourteen Years a Resident within the United States
I respectfully request that the laws of the U.S. Constitution be enforced. Furthermore, please demand that the Democratic Presidential Nominee Senator Barrack Hussein Obama be required to provide (1) a certified copy of the vault Certificate of Birth; (2) a certified copy of the Oath of Allegiance he would have had to take between the ages of 18-21 to regain his U.S. citizenship after leaving Indonesia; and (3) verify that he registered in the selective service (he would have had to do this within six (6) months of turning eighteen (18).
Before Senator Obama is named on a (YOUR STATE) state ballot for the office of President, the foregoing documents must be produced. Unless Sen. Obama produces evidence to the contrary, I believe he:
• Is not a natural-born citizen; and/or
• Lost his citizenship when he was adopted in Indonesia; and/or
• Has dual loyalties because of his citizenship with Kenya and Indonesia.
Numerous questions raised about Obama’s background have no satisfactory answers:
• Where was Obama born? Hawaii; an island off of Hawaii; Kenya; Canada?
• School records list Obama as a citizen of Indonesia. Was he a citizen of Kenya, Indonesia and/or Canada?
• Explanation of the names he has used: Barack Obama, Barry Soetoro, Barry Obama, Barack Dunham, & Barry Dunham.
• Illinois Bar Application – Obama fails to acknowledge use of names other than Barack Hussein Obama,
As Attorney Generals of the U.S. and (YOUR STATE), Secretary of State of (YOUR STATE), and(USE IF YOU SEND TO YOUR GOVERNOR) Governor of (your state) , I request that you investigate the possible forgery of a Hawaii Certification of Live Birth and require Sen. Obama to answer whether he was ever a citizen of Indonesia and further require him to submit all documentation that led up to him being a U.S. citizen. Senator Obama has refused and/or failed to provide proof of his birth as a natural born U.S. citizen. A falsified birth certificate has circulated the Internet and has been proven by experts to be a forgery. Additionally, a lawsuit has been filed against Sen. Obama, Berg v. Obama, Civil Action No. 08-cv-4083 regarding his qualifications to become President of the U.S.
As a natural citizen of the U.S. and a dedicated American patriot, I am adamant for the security of our nation that we choose our elected officials as required in our federal and state constitutions and laws.
Please require that Senator Obama provide absolute proof that he is a natural born citizen of the U.S. before his name is placed on the (YOUR STATE) state ballot for President of the United States. Thank you.
MURPHY I’m getting ready for my son who is flying in from LA and I would appreciate it if you could put Post #691 at the top of the new thread. Thanks.
Go Sarah Palin! I think she did a great job! I was impressed! Great presentation! Professional, yet personal at the same time! She also has a beautiful family. I think she should be helpful to our NOBAMA goal for Nov.
#691 ladyhawkke — Thank You!
Good morning PUMAs. I’m sorry I couldn’t post last night, but believe me I was glued to my screen watching the Guiliani and Palin speeches. And I was ecstatic!!!! First, Guiliani just slaaaammmmed the HELL out of BHO, and had me holding my stomach laughing so hard. I had a smile the size of a Cadillac!
Then Palin got on there, and I went nuts along with the crowd!!! What a gal she is! Smart, cool, clever, collected, funny–she’s the whole package! When she slammed BHO on the presidential seal, then the comm. organizer thing, then the styrofoam columns!
Hillary is my hero, but Palin rocks also. Any doubts are gone….I’m voting McCain/Palin in November.
#671 Dem4Hillary
Excellent letter to Dean. You are a great writer, and you put into words the way most of us feel. I just wish those words could be conveyed to most Democrats so they woudl REALLY know where we stand. Most of them will never know though–they just know what they want to hear from the media.
Biden says “nothing is coming out of BO’s campaign” against Palin – yeah, right!!!!!!!!!
He’s on FOX….
Good Morning PUMAs,
Sarah’s speech was good. I watched it and even listened to what she was saying. She is no Hillary, (Hillary is one of a kind!!) but she did a good job.
Even if I do not agree with her on her views; I respect her for believing in something. I am not worried about her being the VP and changing Roe v Wade.
I think Obama is in for a long hard fight until November.
The DNC should have backed Hillary 100% then they would not be in this mess.

http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-chat/2074285/posts
Glad to read your comments regarding Sarah’s speech everyone. I was at curriculum night during it so I had to watch it on TIVO, alone. I’d say she hit it out of the park! I had to get up to see what the talking heads think and they seem like they got kicked in the gut! ROFLMAO! Still they are trying to get her on foreign affairs exp?! She is at least on the same level as BO and she isn’t running for President. If she should become President then she simply picks a VP who has foreign affairs exp like BO did and she steps into an already functioning cabinet.
One thing I find interesting is the Democrat feminists they have on who do look sort of bitter and irritated. Well they should have stepped up and called out their own party on the sexism directed at Hillary. There seem to be a lot of sexist, ill bred men in the Democrat party and the feminists just take their sexism therefore reinforcing it. I keep thinking the Dems would not be in the position they are in now if not for BOs ego. They would have been much stronger with Hillary at the top of the ticket or even as VP.
But there are strong good Democrats, You guys. I hope you get stronger and take your party back starting November 5th! For the sake of our country.
McCain/Palin 2008!
My ideologies include women’s lib, racial and gender equality and inclusiveness. While I thought I was alined with dems, I see this year I am not. Palin exemplifies what women were striving for and is being staunchly supported by her party, whereas Clinton was waylaid and shut down. These are not the dems I “once knew”.
The following is the text provided by the Republican National Committee of Gov. Sarah Palin’s speech as prepared for delivery at the Republican National Convention:
Mr. Chairman, delegates, and fellow citizens: I am honored to be considered for the nomination for Vice President of the United States…
I accept the call to help our nominee for president to serve and defend America.
I accept the challenge of a tough fight in this election… against confident opponents … at a crucial hour for our country.
And I accept the privilege of serving with a man who has come through much harder missions … and met far graver challenges … and knows how tough fights are won – the next president of the United States, John S. McCain.
It was just a year ago when all the experts in Washington counted out our nominee because he refused to hedge his commitment to the security of the country he loves.
With their usual certitude, they told us that all was lost – there was no hope for this candidate who said that he would rather lose an election than see his country lose a war.
But the pollsters and pundits overlooked just one thing when they wrote him off.
They overlooked the caliber of the man himself – the determination, resolve, and sheer guts of Senator John McCain. The voters knew better.
And maybe that’s because they realize there is a time for politics and a time for leadership … a time to campaign and a time to put our country first.
Our nominee for president is a true profile in courage, and people like that are hard to come by.
He’s a man who wore the uniform of this country for 22 years, and refused to break faith with those troops in Iraq who have now brought victory within sight.
And as the mother of one of those troops, that is exactly the kind of man I want as commander in chief. I’m just one of many moms who’ll say an extra prayer each night for our sons and daughters going into harm’s way.
Our son Track is 19.
And one week from tomorrow – September 11th – he’ll deploy to Iraq with the Army infantry in the service of his country.
My nephew Kasey also enlisted, and serves on a carrier in the Persian Gulf.
My family is proud of both of them and of all the fine men and women serving the country in uniform. Track is the eldest of our five children.
In our family, it’s two boys and three girls in between – my strong and kind-hearted daughters Bristol, Willow, and Piper.
And in April, my husband Todd and I welcomed our littlest one into the world, a perfectly beautiful baby boy named Trig. From the inside, no family ever seems typical.
That’s how it is with us.
Our family has the same ups and downs as any other … the same challenges and the same joys.
Sometimes even the greatest joys bring challenge.
And children with special needs inspire a special love.
To the families of special-needs children all across this country, I have a message: For years, you sought to make America a more welcoming place for your sons and daughters.
I pledge to you that if we are elected, you will have a friend and advocate in the White House. Todd is a story all by himself.
He’s a lifelong commercial fisherman … a production operator in the oil fields of Alaska’s North Slope … a proud member of the United Steel Workers’ Union … and world champion snow machine racer.
Throw in his Yup’ik Eskimo ancestry, and it all makes for quite a package.
We met in high school, and two decades and five children later he’s still my guy. My Mom and Dad both worked at the elementary school in our small town.
And among the many things I owe them is one simple lesson: that this is America, and every woman can walk through every door of opportunity.
My parents are here tonight, and I am so proud to be the daughter of Chuck and Sally Heath. Long ago, a young farmer and habber-dasher from Missouri followed an unlikely path to the vice presidency.
A writer observed: “We grow good people in our small towns, with honesty, sincerity, and dignity.” I know just the kind of people that writer had in mind when he praised Harry Truman.
I grew up with those people.
They are the ones who do some of the hardest work in America … who grow our food, run our factories, and fight our wars.
They love their country, in good times and bad, and they’re always proud of America. I had the privilege of living most of my life in a small town.
I was just your average hockey mom, and signed up for the PTA because I wanted to make my kids’ public education better.
When I ran for city council, I didn’t need focus groups and voter profiles because I knew those voters, and knew their families, too.
Before I became governor of the great state of Alaska, I was mayor of my hometown.
And since our opponents in this presidential election seem to look down on that experience, let me explain to them what the job involves.
I guess a small-town mayor is sort of like a “community organizer,” except that you have actual responsibilities. I might add that in small towns, we don’t quite know what to make of a candidate who lavishes praise on working people when they are listening, and then talks about how bitterly they cling to their religion and guns when those people aren’t listening.
We tend to prefer candidates who don’t talk about us one way in Scranton and another way in San Francisco.
As for my running mate, you can be certain that wherever he goes, and whoever is listening, John McCain is the same man. I’m not a member of the permanent political establishment.
And I’ve learned quickly, these past few days, that if you’re not a member in good standing of the Washington elite, then some in the media consider a candidate unqualified for that reason alone.
But here’s a little news flash for all those reporters and commentators: I’m not going to Washington to seek their good opinion – I’m going to Washington to serve the people of this country. Americans expect us to go to Washington for the right reasons, and not just to mingle with the right people.
Politics isn’t just a game of clashing parties and competing interests.
The right reason is to challenge the status quo, to serve the common good, and to leave this nation better than we found it.
No one expects us to agree on everything.
But we are expected to govern with integrity, good will, clear convictions, and … a servant’s heart.
I pledge to all Americans that I will carry myself in this spirit as vice president of the United States. This was the spirit that brought me to the governor’s office, when I took on the old politics as usual in Juneau … when I stood up to the special interests, the lobbyists, big oil companies, and the good-ol’ boys network.
Sudden and relentless reform never sits well with entrenched interests and power brokers. That’s why true reform is so hard to achieve.
But with the support of the citizens of Alaska, we shook things up.
And in short order we put the government of our state back on the side of the people.
I came to office promising major ethics reform, to end the culture of self-dealing. And today, that ethics reform is the law.
While I was at it, I got rid of a few things in the governor’s office that I didn’t believe our citizens should have to pay for.
That luxury jet was over the top. I put it on eBay.
I also drive myself to work.
And I thought we could muddle through without the governor’s personal chef – although I’ve got to admit that sometimes my kids sure miss her. I came to office promising to control spending – by request if possible and by veto if necessary.
Senator McCain also promises to use the power of veto in defense of the public interest – and as a chief executive, I can assure you it works.
Our state budget is under control.
We have a surplus.
And I have protected the taxpayers by vetoing wasteful spending: nearly half a billion dollars in vetoes.
I suspended the state fuel tax, and championed reform to end the abuses of earmark spending by Congress.
I told the Congress “thanks, but no thanks,” for that Bridge to Nowhere.
If our state wanted a bridge, we’d build it ourselves. When oil and gas prices went up dramatically, and filled up the state treasury, I sent a large share of that revenue back where it belonged – directly to the people of Alaska.
And despite fierce opposition from oil company lobbyists, who kind of liked things the way they were, we broke their monopoly on power and resources.
As governor, I insisted on competition and basic fairness to end their control of our state and return it to the people.
I fought to bring about the largest private-sector infrastructure project in North American history.
And when that deal was struck, we began a nearly forty billion dollar natural gas pipeline to help lead America to energy independence.
That pipeline, when the last section is laid and its valves are opened, will lead America one step farther away from dependence on dangerous foreign powers that do not have our interests at heart.
The stakes for our nation could not be higher.
When a hurricane strikes in the Gulf of Mexico, this country should not be so dependent on imported oil that we are forced to draw from our Strategic Petroleum Reserve.
And families cannot throw away more and more of their paychecks on gas and heating oil.
With Russia wanting to control a vital pipeline in the Caucasus, and to divide and intimidate our European allies by using energy as a weapon, we cannot leave ourselves at the mercy of foreign suppliers.
To confront the threat that Iran might seek to cut off nearly a fifth of world energy supplies … or that terrorists might strike again at the Abqaiq facility in Saudi Arabia … or that Venezuela might shut off its oil deliveries … we Americans need to produce more of our own oil and gas.
And take it from a gal who knows the North Slope of Alaska: we’ve got lots of both.
Our opponents say, again and again, that drilling will not solve all of America’s energy problems – as if we all didn’t know that already.
But the fact that drilling won’t solve every problem is no excuse to do nothing at all.
Starting in January, in a McCain-Palin administration, we’re going to lay more pipelines … build more new-clear plants … create jobs with clean coal … and move forward on solar, wind, geothermal, and other alternative sources.
We need American energy resources, brought to you by American ingenuity, and produced by American workers. I’ve noticed a pattern with our opponent.
Maybe you have, too.
We’ve all heard his dramatic speeches before devoted followers.
And there is much to like and admire about our opponent.
But listening to him speak, it’s easy to forget that this is a man who has authored two memoirs but not a single major law or reform – not even in the state senate.
This is a man who can give an entire speech about the wars America is fighting, and never use the word “victory” except when he’s talking about his own campaign. But when the cloud of rhetoric has passed … when the roar of the crowd fades away … when the stadium lights go out, and those Styrofoam Greek columns are hauled back to some studio lot – what exactly is our opponent’s plan? What does he actually seek to accomplish, after he’s done turning back the waters and healing the planet? The answer is to make government bigger … take more of your money … give you more orders from Washington … and to reduce the strength of America in a dangerous world. America needs more energy … our opponent is against producing it.
Victory in Iraq is finally in sight … he wants to forfeit.
Terrorist states are seeking new-clear weapons without delay … he wants to meet them without preconditions.
Al Qaeda terrorists still plot to inflict catastrophic harm on America … he’s worried that someone won’t read them their rights? Government is too big … he wants to grow it.
Congress spends too much … he promises more.
Taxes are too high … he wants to raise them. His tax increases are the fine print in his economic plan, and let me be specific.
The Democratic nominee for president supports plans to raise income taxes … raise payroll taxes … raise investment income taxes … raise the death tax … raise business taxes … and increase the tax burden on the American people by hundreds of billions of dollars. My sister Heather and her husband have just built a service station that’s now opened for business – like millions of others who run small businesses.
How are they going to be any better off if taxes go up? Or maybe you’re trying to keep your job at a plant in Michigan or Ohio … or create jobs with clean coal from Pennsylvania or West Virginia … or keep a small farm in the family right here in Minnesota.
How are you going to be better off if our opponent adds a massive tax burden to the American economy? Here’s how I look at the choice Americans face in this election.
In politics, there are some candidates who use change to promote their careers.
And then there are those, like John McCain, who use their careers to promote change.
They’re the ones whose names appear on laws and landmark reforms, not just on buttons and banners, or on self-designed presidential seals.
Among politicians, there is the idealism of high-flown speechmaking, in which crowds are stirringly summoned to support great things.
And then there is the idealism of those leaders, like John McCain, who actually do great things. They’re the ones who are good for more than talk … the ones we have always been able to count on to serve and defend America. Senator McCain’s record of actual achievement and reform helps explain why so many special interests, lobbyists, and comfortable committee chairmen in Congress have fought the prospect of a McCain presidency – from the primary election of 2000 to this very day.
Our nominee doesn’t run with the Washington herd.
He’s a man who’s there to serve his country, and not just his party.
A leader who’s not looking for a fight, but is not afraid of one either. Harry Reid, the Majority Leader of the current do-nothing Senate, not long ago summed up his feelings about our nominee.
He said, quote, “I can’t stand John McCain.” Ladies and gentlemen, perhaps no accolade we hear this week is better proof that we’ve chosen the right man. Clearly what the Majority Leader was driving at is that he can’t stand up to John McCain. That is only one more reason to take the maverick of the Senate and put him in the White House. My fellow citizens, the American presidency is not supposed to be a journey of “personal discovery.” This world of threats and dangers is not just a community, and it doesn’t just need an organizer.
And though both Senator Obama and Senator Biden have been going on lately about how they are always, quote, “fighting for you,” let us face the matter squarely.
There is only one man in this election who has ever really fought for you … in places where winning means survival and defeat means death … and that man is John McCain. In our day, politicians have readily shared much lesser tales of adversity than the nightmare world in which this man, and others equally brave, served and suffered for their country.
It’s a long way from the fear and pain and squalor of a six-by-four cell in Hanoi to the Oval Office.
But if Senator McCain is elected president, that is the journey he will have made.
It’s the journey of an upright and honorable man – the kind of fellow whose name you will find on war memorials in small towns across this country, only he was among those who came home.
To the most powerful office on earth, he would bring the compassion that comes from having once been powerless … the wisdom that comes even to the captives, by the grace of God … the special confidence of those who have seen evil, and seen how evil is overcome. A fellow prisoner of war, a man named Tom Moe of Lancaster, Ohio, recalls looking through a pin-hole in his cell door as Lieutenant Commander John McCain was led down the hallway, by the guards, day after day.
As the story is told, “When McCain shuffled back from torturous interrogations, he would turn toward Moe’s door and flash a grin and thumbs up” – as if to say, “We’re going to pull through this.” My fellow Americans, that is the kind of man America needs to see us through these next four years.
For a season, a gifted speaker can inspire with his words.
For a lifetime, John McCain has inspired with his deeds.
If character is the measure in this election … and hope the theme … and change the goal we share, then I ask you to join our cause. Join our cause and help America elect a great man as the next president of the United States.
Thank you all, and may God bless America.
Give credit where credit is due.

My response to the letter below :
LOL, you all need to wake up and smell the coffee, Sarah Palin kicked your A$$ last night as McCain and Palin will do in November. Millions and Millions of Democrats like myself will be voting for McCain/Palin!!!!!!!!!!!!! Bye, bye corrupt DNC, Obama and all the thugs in Obama’s camp!!!
————– Original message from David Plouffe : ————–
Diane –
I wasn’t planning on sending you something tonight. But if you saw what I saw from the Republican convention, you know that it demands a response.
I saw John McCain’s attack squad of negative, cynical politicians. They lied about Barack Obama and Joe Biden, and they attacked you for being a part of this campaign.
But worst of all — and this deserves to be noted — they insulted the very idea that ordinary people have a role to play in our political process.
You know that despite what John McCain and his attack squad say, everyday people have the power to build something extraordinary when we come together. Make a donation of $5 or more right now to remind them.
Both Rudy Giuliani and Sarah Palin specifically mocked Barack’s experience as a community organizer on the South Side of Chicago more than two decades ago, where he worked with people who had lost jobs and been left behind when the local steel plants closed.
Let’s clarify something for them right now.
Community organizing is how ordinary people respond to out-of-touch politicians and their failed policies.
And it’s no surprise that, after eight years of George Bush, millions of people have found that by coming together in their local communities they can change the course of history. That promise is what our campaign has been about from the beginning.
Throughout our history, ordinary people have made good on America’s promise by organizing for change from the bottom up. Community organizing is the foundation of the civil rights movement, the women’s suffrage movement, labor rights, and the 40-hour workweek. And it’s happening today in church basements and community centers and living rooms across America.
Meanwhile, we still haven’t gotten a single idea during the entire Republican convention about the economy and how to lift a middle class so harmed by the Bush-McCain policies.
It’s now clear that John McCain’s campaign has decided that desperate lies and personal attacks — on Barack Obama and on you — are the only way they can earn a third term for the Bush policies that McCain has supported more than 90 percent of the time.
But you can send a crystal clear message.
Enough is enough. Make your voice heard loud and clear by making a $5 donation right now:

Just reading throught the posts this morning – you don’t get it, Blue Blue – the PEOPLE wanted Hillary, the DNC, Dean, Pelosi and Brazille wanted BO and he and they lied, cheated and stole to get the nomination. (Real democratic).
Yeah, so now a lot of us are voting for McCain, and Palin is a welcomed addition. The Republicans this year are what the Dems could have and should have been – isn’t it always the Dems that use to stand up for things like special needs kids? Now the Repubs. are doing it.

#705 hillaryistheone
Sounds as if Mr. ‘Pooof’ is in a desparate reach.
I watched the convention and what I saw was a clear message that this campaign intends to tear XO to shreds. Last night was merely a hint of what they are about to do.
It sounds as if many feel like I do. Just torn about this entire mess. I will enjoy watching the tearing and sgredding and I want to see XO taken to his knees. I want to see him OUT as a public servant altogether. Dean, Pelousy, Brazille, Reid and others better follow.
All of the speeches las night were excellent. However, the suggested rhetorical based policies (they weren’t specific, possibly McCain will be more factual on policies tonight) don’t speak to my values. I am not a Repblican, I am a Democrat.
I now find myself in deep frustration where I can not and will not vote for XO, but how do I vote to make sure he does not get elected? I know that answer. Yet I feel a sense of great dissapointment that my own party failed me and all of you and so many others just for self fulfilling interests. If there is one element of Palin I do like is that she does go after the corruption and cleans up. Assuming the they win the election I hope McCain allows her free riegn and cleans house on both side of the parties.
It may be fun to watch the upcoming weeks the shredding of XO. There is no doubt our efforts helped to bring this mess to the surface. But, now the Democratic Party is already weakened. I hope we can now help rebuild it to what this party originally stood for. Still, Novenber 4 is going to be a tough day for me.
702 1gypsy4mc – Hey , now , those are FUNNY quotes !!!!
343 TexasTigress on 09.03.08 at 11:51 pm Carl Bernstein is saying she is not ready to be President .

Of course she’s not ready to be President, that’s why she’s running for VP. Jerk.

717 TexasTigress – It wasn’t me that did it, I just thought it was cute!!
Sexism and Sarah:
1. The first reaction of so many [esp. CNN] after her speech was “Nice delivery, but of course she didn’t write it.” Why didn’t they say that about Obama? They all use speech writers, but only with her do they point that out like “of course she couldn’t have come up with that.” I suspect a lot of the really good lines and approaches were hers.
2. Interesting that the Republicans are STANDING UP TO THE SEXISM. What a concept. It then loops back into the media, which is following suit.
3. The sexism is really getting noticed with her. I think many attacks on Hillary were more subtle, and harder to identify. But when you say, “how can she be a good Mom as Governor?” Even the press — esp. FOX — is figuring that one out!
4. I think that Hillary has more of a shield between herself and the public making it harder to know her. I’m convinced it’s generational. Us women of that era have been so beaten up, that we are more cautious and protected. The next generation grew up in a world less hostile to women, and I think women leaders who are younger tend to be more open and relaxed.
More examples of sexism that can be used to beat up on Hillary!
5. The Republicans are saying about Obama the very stuff that Hillary said — and press beat her up. Now that the GOP is hitting on the same points, press is starting to notice. “Oh, geeze, he doesn’t have much experience, does he?’
6. And the base. They keep saying “Sarah is appealing to the GOP base.” Oh, yeah, that thing the Dems say they don’t need to please. Yeah, and we are being valued by GOP while being ignored by Dems. Yeah, this DNC is on its way out …
720 Rabblerouser _ We were supposed to be keeping track of ‘sexism ‘ and posting it , but everything they were saying was making me mad , so I was just posting it all … lol
Please help me on my I report. I appreciate your assistance. Sarah knocked it out of the park last night. If it were not for Hillary, this could not be possible.

I need your voices.
Thanks and God Bless! I am a reader of the blog. You all are doing a wonderful job.
1gypsy4mc _ shoot , I don’t care who did it , I am flippin FUNNY
They missed some of the good ones though ! Maybe they will be back !!! 
The reason why the Republicans are standing up to the sexism is because they love to pick a fight with the media and the far left. Republicans are at their best when they have an enemy to unite against. Democrats are afraid to go after the media. Republicans almost never get a fair shot anyway, so they have nothing to lose. I notice how some in the media are criticizing Sarah Palin’s speech in a way that they woulnd not DARE do Obama’s. Who cares about who wrote it? Nobody says that about Obama. Do you know the reason Republicans have a newfound respect for Hillary Clinton? Because, as some Republicans said, “In this election, Hillary Clinton got treated by the media like she was a Republican.”
#462 october surprise on 09.04.08 at 12:32 am
Everyone blames Hillary for everything anyway. If BO loses big or small, she’ll take the fall for it. If the Dem. party can be reformed however, in that aftermath, Hillary can make a comeback.
The blatant sexism!!!
George the democrat on NECN…….
She can’t be VP, she won’t be able to walk in to the PENTAGON and know any one’s NAME!
Two women sitting there said AND YOU WOULD?
Answer I am not running for blah blah blah
Did you all hear that Reid said that Palin’s speech was shrill!! He is as sexist as they come…could it be something to do with his religion and where he is from????
Reid and Pelosi need to go NOW!!!!

Did everyone see that you tube I posted it was to funny, no one who claims they support him can not say one thing that empty suit has done. Post #721
Hey folks , Carrie is making a page we can link to with all of the important FACTUAL info on XO so that we can send out just one link to the media or our friends who still just don’t get it . She is putting the We will not be silenced stiff on there , but if you have a good FACTUAL link that needs to be on there post it and label it like ” Lies’ or Flip Flop” or Caucus Fraud ‘ or Corrupt Cronies” or whatever the link pertains to – Ok ???
OMG……Mika (MSnbc) is praising Palin………wow
Good Morning,
I just have a minute then I’m off to school. I just wanted to put my thoughts out there. I do think Sarah Palin did a great job last night and it will make my protest vote easier. However, I am left with a great sadness for Hillary. This should be her moment. It makes me sick to my stomach what the Democratic party did to her and to be quite honest I don’t think I can ever go back to that party. I will be an Independent from here on out. Anyway, I am filled with great sadness and great anger over it and I will never forget this. It is unbelievable to me to discover that the Democratic party is more sexist than the Republican party. This process has really opened my eyes and I guess that is the only good thing to come of it. I have been awakened. Have a good day everyone.
I just found out this morning that Sarah Palin has a degree in communications, and that she was once a news anchor/reporter! Woah! How is that for a bonus when one is running for office?
729 TexasTigress – I’m glad to see you are here with us. I missed your humor, but I see you haven’t lost it!!
Itty – bitty horse gal (gypsy)! I have been here , I haven’t seen you lately though … I told someone the other night I think I am the only one who laughs at my jokes – but I am fine with that !!! lol
Hillary is a survivor. She will come out on top of this. When Barry loses, she and Bill will have instant power when the party has to reconstruct itself. All the Pelois and Dean stuff will turn to dust. The only ones that can rebuild the party will be the Clintons. The irony of this is that Obama and his ‘change’ mantra will be proven true:
Because of him, the party will be forced to regroup.
507 Bluejay on 09.04.08 at 12:53 am
If we’re looking for a perfect substitute, we’re not going to find it. Sarah Palin is a tough woman who beat the s**t out of the Alaskan Redneck politicians. We’re not going to agree with every thing she or McCain stands for.
For me, it comes down to whether or not I want to vote for someone who will do anything (lie, cheat, steal) to get elected and whose self love seems to be so large, there’s no room for anything else or to vote for someone whose ideas I don’t always agree with, but whom I think will act with some measure of integrity.
No one is saying it’s an easy choice. The easiest and best choice was Hillary, because she fits oth models. But the Dems threw her under the bus…
Henerietta,
I hope you’re right. I really do.
Murphy,
I think that speech was worth at least a $10.00 donation!
We Pumas can out do Davie the Poof and up them $5
I will get the ball rolling with $10.oo………..but only if you say so.
This Am I called in for my application to be a poll worker. It may take a couple of days to e-mail Murphy on that, but I am working on it. The attacks made on Hillary were not subtle. They were daily from all media outlets, cruel and vicious. The difference is Governor Palin has her party behind her. She has female governors, senator, and leaders defending her. A group of Republican women, including Carly addressed the media yesterday. Where was that group in the Democratic party? Where were the voices of democratic party women standing up in a loud strong voice. Outside of Ferraro and one clip of Diane Feinstein, the voices of our party were not out there. Even though we were writing letters to the media as far back as after Super Tuesday, even members of the Clinton campaign did not come out in full force swinging. They assumed the guilty role to even suggest that sexism and hate was occurring for fear of putting Senator Clinton in the victim role. When someone is victimized, that person be it man or women is a victim, an unwilling participant in a crime against them. Being a victim does not make a person weak. All the women of this party should have spoken out against the media, but they didn’t. They left it to us to defend Senator Clinton, and without someone’s voice in Washington our voices were not heard or taken seriously. Those women supported Obama and fell in line, and those who supported Senator Clinton did not do enough. They accepted it and were fearful to speak out. How many of those women flipped so easily over to Obama. Did any of them tell the truth, that Obama was pre-selected? Did any of them get on TV and report the voting fraud and all the other abuses? No they didn’t, and they could have.
If you watched the convention, those Republican women were proud and happy. They were showing their joy while our joy and support of Senator Clinton was subdued, degraded, demeaned, and silenced. When I see conservatives like Guiliani and Romney speaking out in Palin’s defense last night, it has to make me question why this has occurred in our party. The sexism in our party is disgraceful and the lack of courage is also disgraceful. And that lack of courage exists in our own female democratic leaders who accepted the hate speech and said nothing, or went along with Obama and said nothing. We have had no assistance from the female Sentors, Governors, Congresswomen. Cowards. Every single one of them. We have more backbone then they do. In the end, they have only hurt themselves.
741 TexasTigress – I’m here, but I don’t always post because I’m too busy reading and I can’t multi-task that much!!
I think Carrie should use some of the biased newsmedia against Hillary also. That is the “punch”!

hi all
did you all see this morning Hillarys spokesman said since there convention 80% of Hillary people are with them? Well 20% is good but we want more. He did say some might switch because of Palin’s treatment and women are mad.

MMM yes I saw a collage of her years, as basketball star in high school and her journalist pic showed a stunning, 28-29 year old.
Everyone – have a good day! I have to go to work now. Take care.
Morning all, I was not able to watch the speech but will catch it on youtube this morning.
Let me say I am proud of Rudy and the Republicans to call out the media and the sexism bias.
I am no fan of the Republican platform but believe w/ a democratic congress and a McCAin presidency, we can win this nation back in 4 years.
And I think a Clinton-Palin run off would be fabulous.
So, I have no qualms voting Republican in November, my ultimate goal is Nobama.
And remember, a vote for MCCain-Palin takes two votes for Barry to make up.
Demarcates, you fools! I am laughing my ass off this mourning at Real Clear Politics.
I love this new day!!!

“Imagine for a moment, if you can, being a Democrat and having to react to Sarah Palin’s magnificent and perhaps history-changing Acceptance Speech this evening. Now, imagine visualizing your dream team: the Empty Suit OB and that old insider politico Biden. The effects of this epiphany could easily become traumatic. And, faced with this reality, who could help but feel victimized and cheated.”

AWAKE AMERICANS. WE ARE IN DANGER.
It’s a hit says Yahoo!
“By DAVID BAUDER, AP Television Writer
Thu Sep 4, 12:57 AM ET
NEW YORK – With a forceful speech that served as her introduction to millions of Americans on Wednesday, Republican vice presidential nominee Sarah Palin seduced many on television who had spent days doubting her candidacy.
It wasn’t just a home run, said CNN’s Wolf Blitzer; it may have been a grand slam. “A very auspicious debut,” said NBC’s Tom Brokaw. It was a “perfect populist pitch,” said CBS’ Jeff Greenfield. “Terrific,” said Mort Kondracke on Fox News Channel.
“A star is born,” said Chris Wallace on Fox.
“A star is born,” Blitzer said.
“A star is born,” said Anderson Cooper on CNN.
Palin combined jokes about being a hockey mom with searing criticism of Democratic presidential nominee Barack Obama. It was a spur to a convention audience ready to get worked up, to a large extent because Republican leaders had pushed the notion that the news media was being sexist or too aggressive in questioning her qualifications for the job.
For a relative rookie on the national stage, however, she understood the nuances of speaking to a television audience better than the more experienced and fiery Rudolph Giuliani.
Cameras lingered on shots of her family in the audience — her dozing infant passed from her husband to a daughter, her pregnant teen-aged daughter gripping the hand of her boyfriend, her soldier son about to be dispatched to Iraq.
“I’ve learned quickly, these past few days, that if you’re not a member in good standing of the Washington elite, then some in the media consider a candidate unqualified for that reason alone,” Palin said.
At that, some on the convention floor chanted “N-B-C, N-B-C.”
Her speech was the main event Wednesday, and may prove the most important in the convention for the GOP. During its coverage, CNN ran a countdown clock in the corner of its screen, ticking down the hours, minutes and seconds to when Palin was due to take the stage in St. Paul, Minn.
“So far this week the focus has been on John McCain’s running mate, perhaps because everyone loves a good mystery,” Katie Couric said in opening CBS’ prime-time coverage.
Former McCain rival Mike Huckabee, part of the undercard Wednesday, thanked the “elite media” for uniting Republicans behind its ticket.
“The reporting of the past few days has proven tackier than a costume change at a Madonna concert,” Huckabee said in an applause line to the convention.

Good Morning PUMAs!
What a night! What a day yesterday for the Republicans! The Republican women and men came out and support Sarah Palin but where were the Democrats when Hillary was being bashed by the media and the Obama campaign? The Democrats could have ensured winning the WH back if Hillary was on the top of ticket, but they chose to throw their support to someone who has the least experience to run for the president and someone who will do everything at all cost to win….someone who’s an empty suit. Howard Wolfson just said on Fox that 80% of Hillary’s supporters are now for Obama and the remaining 20% may support McCain/Palin ticket but he doesn’t think it’s going to be much. Well, aside from the issue differences, we need to avenge for Hillary by voting as a bloc for McCain/Palin in November. I’m going to remain an independent until the Democrats can get their acts together.

Great poll results today on many aspects of the race. A must READ. Unfortunately,
Virtually all of the interviews for today’s update were completed before Alaska Governor Sarah Palin’s speech last night.
535 firechief on 09.04.08 at 1:13 am She is under-qualified to lead this country, especially should she have to step in and become President.
——–
This argument is illogical, when BO, who has the thinnest resume ever is running for President. Everyone expects McCain to die in office because of his age. Well Kennedy was young when he died, so as far as I’m concerned it’s just as likely for Biden to be the next president as it is for Palin…And if you recalle, the voters were NOT impressed with Biden
wolfson´s prediction is the opposite
I wonder if Wolson now feels bad for not fighting the media and Obama on race baiting or woman assults
I believe Palin could and would be a better PRESIDENT
Than Obuma RIGHT NOW!!
She has more can do and know how in her little finger than Obuma has in his BIG EARS!
She has my vote for PTA and anything else she is running for! She has given McCain the excitement he needed and he made an awesome choice. I couldn’t be happier unless it was HILLAY!
#749 jane-pa, that coming from the main stream media…I don’t buy!! They are trying to sell Obama!!
I think Obama is now on the clearance rack!!!
Boston right on you said it all
Sarah Palin was excellent … I LOVED HER SPEECH! Though, she is no Hillary Clinton! I MISS HER:(
the one I agree I think his time has come and went lol. I am pleased Repubs men got up there last night and stood up for her .Wish we had had that for Hillary .
Nice Try, Fire Chief. Senator Biden is 66, and has had as many as 9 Aneurisms. And Rabblerouser is correct, people can die young and unexpected. We don’t get to select when we leave this world. Governor Palin is the VP, not the President. There should be no question at all regading the experience, qualifications and accomplishments of a Presidential nominee. Both VP’s from both parties are more experienced and accomplished than the presidential nominee of the Democrats. You don’t find something wrong with that picture? Well we do.

First, what the hell have the Democrats done for me lately?? Surly not get Hillary on the ticket. They talk a lot of smack about women. They talk down to to us and threaten us like some bad stalker boy friend. If we don’t vote the way they want they spread lies about us to our friends.
I have broken up with jerks be for. So what? Whats hard about that??

Hi jane
I think the more they pile on the crap the more votes this woman gets, I bet they are kicking their sorry a$$es.
I doubt that they know how to play nice.
Be prepared to feel the wrath of the bots, and I am sure they want blood!
Turn on fox news if you can Megan Kellys interview with guy from US mag again it might be repeat or it may have more or it may be a new one. The point is it was awesome so if you missed yesterday it’s a must see, if you did see it yesterday good enough to watch again and if it’s a new one can’t wait to see her tear him up more.
The RNC Displayed PUMA Colors
The Orange Revolution
Did anyone notice all the orange in the crowd at the Republican Convention? Some Democrats did.
Comment by Zeke 2008-09-04 00:12:23
Any one know what the Orange cloths were? A number of women were waving Orange polyester fabric around and unless they were from the “Sovereign State of Tennessee” I would like to buy a vowel…
Comment by WMCB | 2008-09-04 00:23:54
Orange is the color of PUMA. Hillary wore it for her speech last week. The entire Alaskan delegation decided to wave Orange as a shout out to PUMAs.
And John McCain wore an orange tie.

She had a teleprompter and yes the speech was written by a Bush aide … But, it was a wonderful speech and I loved it!
Found this quote in a Yahoo article that started out calling her speech a “star-turning performance”.
“Their mother lacked the soaring oratory skills of Obama — a man she attacked as a tax-raising, terrorist-coddling, self-indulgent liberal. But the former TV sportscaster spoke in calm, TV-friendly tones reminiscent of Ronald Reagan.”

I guess you have to add a lot of UUhhhh’s and UUhhhhmmmmm’s to have SOARING ORATORY SKILLS!!!

I’ve also been receiving emails from Defenders of Wildlife and I am not a member nor have I had any dealing with them. They are obviously allied with the BO campaign and are using his mailing list. Thus, they are not neutral and they are using over the top smears against the candidate. I also have been a huge supporter of wildlife and domestic animal causes through the years and I have not heard from any of the other wildlife orgs I’ve dealt during that time. This is propaganda.
Bet her lipstick color is “I’m not you sweetie RED’

Hey, PUMAs. I enjoyed reading the live blogging just now – can’t be online at night sadly.
My sweet love says only a Republican would think a community organizer has no responsibilities, but I personally LMAO when I heard on NPR this morning that Sarah said “being a mayor is like being a community organizer, only with real responsibilities”
Go PUMAs! Must dart back to my duties . . .
HILLARY ’12
SHE SAID everything about OBAMA than is the REASON I could NOT support that GUY! SHE did not lie at all, she told it like it was, and Obama and Zombies are running scared, even Joe Biden liked her speech! But even he knows Obama is NOT ready to be PRESIDENT! IT is SHOCKING to me HOW SEXIST the DEMOCRATIC party has become, I see with what they are doing to Palin just what HRC went through, remember all the HORRIBLE things they said about her? Like her CRYING was for EFFECT? I am looking to HRC in 2012, and I WILL NEVER vote for Obama and his ELITIST group of SOCIALIST PIGS! I love how Palin has a PROVEN track record of reform…I feel 20000000 times better now to select John McCain as President, and I know with his bi partisan approach we will see good for this four years, and I look forward to HRC in 2012!
I love Sarah Palin!! I researched all of McCain’s short list picks a couple of months ago and I fell in love with her. I couldn’t believe it when he actually picked her, I sent a million emails suggesting it,lol! I knew for sure there was something about her when I saw the media’s obvious reaction! : ) She was amazing last night! Finally, an honest politician who’s one of us! She is a breath of fresh Alaskan air! The Obama camp must be worried now! I can’t wait to see Hillary and Palin go at it in four years! The two most powerful women in politics representing both Parties! The sexism can take a long walk off a short pier in 2012!
McCain/Palin 08!!
“Country First”
#771 onelove – The Bush aide thing was a joke in that they were saying her message was the same as George Bush’s .
Anderson Cooper asked Brazile and R. Martin why no one pointed out that XO never wrote his own speeches – most politicians have speech writers . He said why is it a big deal that she had a speech writer and it is’nt that XO has a speech writer ..
Hillary should have been our first President!
HILLARY WILL BE OUR PRESIDENT in 2012!
WHEN the DNC sees how they FAILED the party this go around there is NO WAY she will not make it in by a landslide NEXT ELECTION! WE all KNOW she was THE only SENSIBLE selection for the DNC!
NOW they will get to FEEL THAT PAIN in NOVEMBER and all the DELEGATES OBAMA PURCHASED will be SICK to their STOMACH! I STILL LOOK FOR HRC to BE the FIRST WOMAN PRESIDENT, it is HER destiny and OBAMA and his foolish followers delayed it for FOUR YEARS! BUT his LOSS will be FELT loud and clear that 18 million plus voters ARE IMPORTANT and DO NOT fall in LINE!
I loved Sarah Palin’s speech. So what if it was written for her..she delivered it well. Also I am tired of hearing about the right to choose issue from the DNC. McCain’s age means nothing to me. Democratic VP is in his 60′s too. My dad is 87 years old and he just built a garage and his mind is intact. Look at men in government making decsions …many of them are in their 60′s and 70′s. The wildlife issue will come up but when you are raised in that setting it is different than how I was raised in California. Different lifestyles. Anyway looking forward to today and a new prowl.
For you animal lovers I just saw something upsetting on fox tv. They are showing the mounted police in Minneapolis on really gorgeous horses and the horses have clear eye guards over their faces. I hate to see them put in danger by protestors and the police.
For the first time in months, I actually felt some joy last night. I was nervous for Sarah when she started. What an audition in front of the whole US. Some hoping you are great, and millions hoping you fall on your face.
Well, as you know, she was brilliant. And I found myself screaming at my tv screen. If I could have given myself a fist bump, I would have.
I was already going to vote for McCain. But this makes it so much easier. I still do not agree with many of their policies, but when you come down to integrity and charachter, for 2008, the Republicans have it sewn up.
We are still going to see @#$#@ thrown out about Sarah and her family. So we need to be prepared. And the media will still be sexist. They support BO, so they
will continue to do their part to discredit her.
We need to call them on it and try to protect Sarah like we tried to protect Hillary.
What irony. It could have been Hillary.
Hillary vs. Sarah 2012!
Good morning eveyone,
An excerpt from today’s PDOP article:
Throughout the primaries fringe-left websites such as Huffpo and the Daily Kos, Obama’s campaign, supporters and surrogates launched misogynistic attack-after-attack upon Hillary Clinton. They had their candidate and feared that Clinton might actually govern rather that further the party line and as a result they demonized her. But Clinton wasn’t the first to face this wrath, just 2 years earlier, Democratic Party Leadership and the groups above played the same attack game on another candidate, one who agreed with the party on 90% of the issues, but had the audacity to question their positions on the other 10%. That candidate of course, was Joe Lieberman. But the attacks on Clinton were different than those on Lieberman, they represented a level of vitriolic hate and overt sexism that the broader base of their party does not support.
When Clinton shed a tear in New Hampshire, they attacked. They accused of her of being either too soft, without the necessary strength of character and perhaps too much of a Woman; or she was merely faking to earn sympathy points among the female community. They accused her of playing the race card, demonized her husband and showed up to rallies wearing shirts telling her to pick back up the iron.
And Now… The very same crowd has launched the very same attacks upon… http://politicallydrunk.blogspot.com/2008/09/despite-86-favorablility-rating-they.html
Here’s BO’s 26 year old speech writer (see link below). I’m sick of hearing about Palin not writing her own speech. She may, or may not have had help. NEITHER IS RELEVANT considering BO is running for PRESIDENT not VP, and gets his speeches from a 26 year old kid….no offense to young pumas but I’m old, so anyone young enough to be my child seems like a kid
http://www.nytimes.com/2008/01/20/fashion/20speechwriter.html
please do tell me why estravaganza is 5 pts ahead??
…. could that be manipulation at full blast like after HILLARY´s victory fallowed their announcement some poumpous endorsements ???
Senator Obama’s speeches were written by JFK’s 80 something speech writer, who was teaching Obama’s young speech writers, how to write. And let’s not forget that Obama Plagiarized a speech and was caught, and denied he did that. He acted that speech out, “Just Words?” Senator Obama should really look into a career in acting. Hollywood likes him. He should move there. Oh how easily people forget. And let’s not forget 9/11 while we are at it as well.
51% Say Reporters Are Trying To Hurt Palin; 39% Say She Has Better Experience Than Obama
Obamis also has on staff 3 of Carter’s fromer speech writers, that is why his energy speeches mirror those of Carter.
This is a shame!! This should have been Hillary’s moment in our own party. I hope nobama is squirming in his seat. Go McCain Go Sarah!! Republicans watched and are doing everything opposite of the obama tactics. I wonder how coward dean, nancy paloser, and doona brazille nut are feeling now.
I love to tell people I have NEVER heard OBUMA give a speech, NEVER have I watched him walk on water either.
All the stuff he spouts I have heard somewhere before, to be older is to be wiser!
She delivered the speech very well.
I can just see all of the plush pitbull dolls with lipstick now.
Finally a formidable opponent.
Also, there WAS a teleprompter. One of the stations I was moving back and forth from showed a shot from behind and it was to her left. Clear as day. I’ll see if I can get a screen capture on it.
Palin was absolutely fabulous. I look forward to a Clinton(D) vs. Palin(R) contest in 2012. For now, I’m wondering what I can do to help the Nothing On Top campaign. I saw the Geraldine Ferraro replay of her interview on Good Morning America. Fabulous again. I’m from upstate NY, was active in the ’60′s and ’70′s, but not recently. Is there some way to locate other Pumas in my area so we can figure out a way to personally contact local Democrats with the Nothing On Top idea? NY usually goes Democratic, but not always. Or maybe help is needed in “swing” states? I’m ready to get to work!
Another win Detroit Mayor stepping down as we speak and only part of it

A GOOD PROWL
TexasTigress on 09.03.08 at 9:39 pm freddiebrown – I have been collecting the e-mails of LOCAL news stations in the swing States . I know they aren’t used to getting a lot of feedback from their viewers. I honestly felt that if we ‘target’ specific ‘ local ststions with an organized prowl and just bombard them with e-mails and info they might be ’shocked ‘ into reporting on some of it . My little local station was so happy this week to be getting e-mails during the Hurricane that they were reading them on the air . Can you imagine if a small station all of the sudden got hundreds of Puma e-mails …??? I’m still plugging away at getting the contact info , but my idea isn’t getting any traction so I am close to tossing it . It wouldn’t be the same if it was just me sending the info . Anyway , that’s where I think the cheese is – LOCAL stations ..
I noticed the telepromter also. Why show hers…I never saw OB’s!!!!!!!
One of nobama’s super delegates, mayor of Detroit, has to step down form office, long period of probation, 1 million dollar fine. Go democrats for nobama
Elizabeth I am near Buffalo. You?? Lets get togeather for sure. Another is looking to get group also.
Elizabeth please write immoxie at hotmail dot com ok
I don’t normally watch MSNBC anymore, but Morning Joe and his female co-worker (can’t remember her name) are really sticking up for Palin. They both went after the guy who said “who is watching her kids”?
Jeffery Toobin he is my next assignment i have had it with him and his nasty comments i never got over the horrible thing he said about Hillary (there were many but the last was the worse) now he is going after Palin “GAME ON ” he says dang right Jeffy boy game is on.
Joe stuck up for Hillary too a lot . Woman is Mika
#794 Elizabeth and #799 jane-pa
#794 How far into ‘upstate’ are you?
#799 jane-pa I often travel to Rochester for work every four to five weeks.
For Both of you I would love to have the opportunity to meet up with!
I’m off and on lurking as I have so much to get done, but will check for any possible response!
#797 4hillinca on 09.04.08 at 10:36 am
I saw BO’s but it looked like there were just topic headers on there. He had one to his left and one down in front, low.
I can’t imagine how hard it must be to give a speech from a teleprompter that was written by someone else. She delivered it very well.
I think the prompter kept scrolling when she made the hockey mom comment.
She did well recovering.
Three cheers for Gov. Palin!! Wouldn’t it be great if Hillary runs in 2012 with Sarah as her V.P. Now that would be “reaching across the aisle” and brining this country together!!! And two women would do it!!
meant “bringing”
McCain is taking the ride of Puma movement. What Puma’s plan is Hill 08 first, if not it will be McCain 08/Hill 12. Things work out well with Palin on the ticket. Were not Pumas saying this all along? If DONC ignores Pumas, then McCain has obvious not.
Senator Barry Soetoro / Barack Hussein Obama
If Obama was adopted and took the name Barry Soetoro then did not legally change his name to Barack Hussein Obama then all the ballots in the 50 states will be illegal. They will have the name of a non person.
We should ask all 50 states to demand that he use and prove his legal name. Also he has signed statements under oath that he has used one and only one name in his lifetime and that is false. He is open to perjury charges.
cjv drop a line to hotmail addy ok? Love to get started with this.Want to turn NY McCain and think we have a chance

#437 sandipuma on 09.04.08 at 12:20 am Obama Had Close Ties to Top Saudi Adviser at Early Age
Wednesday, September 3, 2008 5:58 PM
By: Kenneth R. Timmerman Article Font Size
New evidence has emerged that Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama was closely associated as early as age 25 to a key adviser to a Saudi billionaire who had mentored the founding members of the Black Panthers.
In a videotaped interview this year on New York’s all news cable channel NY1, a prominent African-American businessman and political figure made the curious disclosures about Obama. (See Video Clip Below)
Percy Sutton, the former borough president of Manhattan, off-handedly revealed the unusual circumstances about his first encounter with the young Obama.
“I was introduced to (Obama) by a friend who was raising money for him,” Sutton told NY1 city hall reporter Dominic Carter.
“The friend’s name is Dr. Khalid al-Mansour, from Texas,” Sutton said. “He is the principal adviser to one of the world’s richest men. He told me about Obama.”
Sutton, the founder of Inner City Broadcasting, said al-Mansour contacted him to ask a favor: Would Sutton write a letter in support of Obama’s application to Harvard Law School?
“He wrote to me about him,” Sutton recalled. “And his introduction was there is a young man that has applied to Harvard. I know that you have a few friends up there because you used to go up there to speak. Would you please write a letter in support of him?”
Sutton said he acted on his friend al-Mansour’s advice.
“I wrote a letter of support of him to my friends at Harvard, saying to them I thought there was a genius that was going to be available and I certainly hoped they would treat him kindly,” Sutton told NY1.
Sutton did not say why al-Mansour was helping Obama, how he discovered him, or from whom he was raising money on Obama’s behalf.
A Sutton aide told Newsmax that Sutton, 88, is ailing and is unlikely to do additional TV interviews in the near future. The aide could not provide additional comment for this story.
As it turned out, Obama did attend Harvard Law School after graduating from Columbia University in New York and doing a stint as a community organizer in Chicago.
The New York Times described how transformative his Harvard experience became for the young Obama: “He arrived there as an unknown, Afro-wearing community organizer who had spent years searching for his identity; by the time he left, he had his first national news media exposure, a book contract and a shot of confidence from running the most powerful legal journal in the country.”
The details of Obama’s academic performance are well known: At Harvard, Obama rose to academic distinction becoming the editor of the Harvard Law Review and graduating magna cum laude.
Less known are the reasons al-Mansour, an activist African-American Muslim, would be a key backer for a young man from Hawaii seeking to attend the most Ivy of the Ivy League law schools.
Khalid al-Mansour a.k.a. Don Warden
In an exclusive interview with Newsmax from his home in San Antonio, Texas, al-Mansour said he would not comment specifically on the statement by Percy Sutton because he was afraid anything he said would get “distorted.”
“I was determined I was never going to be in that situation,” he said. “Bloggers are saying this is the new Rev. Wright — in drag! — and he is a nationalist, racist, and worse than Rev. Wright. So any statement that I made would only further this activity which is not in the interest of Barack.”
But in the lengthy interview, al-Mansour confirmed that he frequently spoke on university campuses, including Columbia, where Percy Sutton suggested he met Obama in the late 1980s, and confirmed his close relationship with Prince Alwaleed.
“I am not surprised to learn about this,” said Niger Innis, spokesman of the Congress of Racial Equality (CORE). “It is clear that Barack Obama’s ties to the left are familial, generational, and have lasted for several years.”
Although many Americans have never heard of Khalid Abdullah Tariq al-Mansour (his full name), he is well known within the black community as a lawyer, an orthodox Muslim, a black nationalist, an author, an international deal-maker, an educator, and an outspoken enemy of Israel.
A graduate of Howard University with a law degree from the University of California, al-Mansour sits on numerous corporate boards, including the Saudi African Bank and Chicago-based LaGray Chemical Co. LaGray, which was formed to do business in Africa, counts former Nigerian President General Abdusalam Abubakar on its advisory board.
He also sits on the board of the non-profit African Leadership Academy, along with top McCain for President adviser Carly Fiorina, and organized a tribute to the President of Ghana at the Clinton White House in 1995, along with pop star Michael Jackson.
But his writings and books are packed with anti-American rhetoric reminiscent of the Rev. Jeremiah Wright, Obama’s disgraced former pastor.
In a 1995 book, “The Lost Books of Africa Rediscovered,” he alleged that the United States was plotting genocide against black Americans.
The first “genocide against the black man began 300 years ago,” he told an audience in Harlem at a book-signing, while a second “genocide” was on the way “to remove 15 million Black people, considered disposable, of no relevance, value or benefit to the American society.”
In the 1960s, when he founded the African American Association in the San Francisco Bay area, he was known as Donald Warden.
According to the Social Activism Project at the University of California at Berkley, Warden, a.k.a. Khalid al-Mansour, was the mentor of Black Panther Party founder Huey Newton and his cohort, Bobby Seale.
Newton later had a falling out with Warden, who was described in a 1994 book as “the most articulate spokesperson for black nationalism” at the time.
The falling out wasn’t purely political, according to author Hugh Pearson.
“Sometimes Newton and the other members of (Warden’s) security detail got into fights with young whites who didn’t like what Warden had to say about whites. Rather than ‘throw down’ along with the security detail, Warden refused to fight,” Pearson wrote in “Shadow of the Panther: Huey Newton and the Price of Black Power in America.”
U.S. Rep. Barbara Lee of California entered an official statement of appreciation of Warden and his Black Panther colleagues in the African-American Association in the Congressional Record on April 23, 2007.
“Among the founding members (of the Association) were community leaders such as Khalid Al-Mansour (known then as Don Warden); future Judges Henry Ramsey and Thelton Henderson; future Congressman and Oakland Mayor Ron Dellums, and future Black Panthers Huey Newton and Bobby Seale,” the Democratic representative’s statement said.
Al-Mansour’s more recent videotaped speeches focus on Muslim themes, and abound with anti-Semitic theories and anti-Israel vitriol.
“Today, the Palestinians are being brutalized like savages,” he told an audience in South Africa. “If you protest you will go to jail, and you may be killed. And they say they are the only democratic country in the Middle East. … They are lying on God.”
He accused the Jews of “stealing the land the same way the Christians stole the land from the Indians in America.”
The Saudi Connection
But al-Mansour’s sponsorship of Obama as a prospective Harvard law student is important for another reason beyond his Islamic and anti-American rhetoric and early Black Panther ties.
At the time Percy Sutton, a former lawyer for Malcolm X and a former business partner of al-Mansour, says he was raising money for Obama’s graduate school education, al-Mansour was representing top members of the Saudi Royal family seeking to do business and exert influence in the United States.
In 1989, for example — just one year after Obama entered Harvard Law School — The Los Angeles Times revealed that al-Mansour had been advising Saudi billionaires Abdul Aziz and Khalid al-Ibrahim in their secret effort to acquire a major stake in prime oceanfront property in Marina del Rey, Calif., through “an elaborate network of corporate shells in California, the Caribbean and Europe.”
At the same time, he was also advising Prince Alwaleed bin Talal in his U.S. investments, and sits on the board of his premier investment vehicle, Kingdom Holdings.
Prince Alwaleed, 53, is the nephew if King Abdallah of Saudi Arabia. Forbes magazine ranked him this year as the 19th richest person on the planet, with a fortune in excess of $23 billion. He owns large chunks of Citigroup and News Corp., the holding company that controls Fox News.
He is best known in the United States for his offer to donate $10 million to help rebuild downtown Manhattan after the 9/11 attacks. But after the prince made a public comment suggesting that U.S. policies had contributed to causing the attacks, Mayor Rudy Giuliani handed back his check.
“I entirely reject that statement,” Giuliani said. “There is no moral equivalent for this (terrorist) act. There is no justification for it. The people who did it lost any right to ask for justification for it when they slaughtered 4,000 or 5,000 innocent people.”
Since then, Prince Alwaleed’s Kingdom Foundation has given millions of dollars to Muslim charities in the United States, including several whose leaders have been indicted on terrorism-related charges in federal courts.
He also has given tens of millions of dollars to Harvard and other major U.S. universities, to establish programs in Islamic studies.
The casual statement by Percy Sutton to NY1 is the first time anyone has hinted at a relationship between Obama and the Saudi royal family.
Although al-Mansour glosses over his ties to the Saudi mega-billionaire in some of his public talks, he has represented the Saudi’s interests in the United States, in Britain, and in Africa for more than a quarter century, according to public records.
He told Newsmax that he has personally introduced Prince Alwaleed to “51 of the 53 leaders of Africa,” traveling from country to country on the Saudi prince’s private jet.
He knows virtually every black leader in America, from the business community, to community activists, to the worlds of politics and entertainment.
When Michael Jackson was on the ropes in the mid-1990s following a series of lawsuits by the parents of children accusing him of sexual abuse, al-Mansour introduced him to Prince Alwaleed, whose Kingdom Entertainment signed a joint venture with Jackson in 1996.
“Jackson and Alwaleed became pals in 1994, when a mutual friend from Alwaleed’s college days in California arranged a lunch meeting aboard the prince’s yacht in Cannes,” Time magazine reported about the new partnership in 1997.
The mutual friend was al-Mansour.
“As a black American, I am exceedingly proud at the American people’s response to Barack Obama’s candidacy,” said CORE’s Niger Innis. “But to deny that he has long-standing ties to left-wing elements in our polity is to deny reality. If you want to be president of the United States, it is not racism if you ask these kind of questions, and he has to come up with an answer, hopefully the truth.”
Sutton gives no clues as to why al-Mansour would be raising money to help Obama go to law school. Obama has said during his campaign that he paid his way through Harvard with student loans.
For Jesse Lee Peterson, founder of the Los Angeles-based Brotherhood Organization of a New Destiny (BOND), these latest revelations about Obama’s ties to Saudi financiers were an important wake-up call.
“To me, this opened up more questions about Barack Obama and his relationship to the Muslim world,” Peterson told Newsmax.
“A lot of people are caught up with the emotional aspect of Barack Obama, the movie star aspect, the false promises that he’s going to take care of everyone and their Mama.”
But when the full story of Obama’s ties to radical preachers such as Wright and to black Muslim leader Louis Farrakhan comes out, Peterson believes that Obama’s star power will fade.
“I think there’s more to this story and to Barack Obama than we realize,” Peterson said. “As all the truth comes out before the election, I don’t think he has a chance. I can’t see American’s taking that kind of risk.”
The Obama campaign did not respond to requests for comment.
go Hillary I think thats how he lost his law license.He lied on Bar papers.
South Side of Chicago more than two decades ago, where he worked with people who had lost jobs and been left behind when the local steel plants closed.
OBAMA orchastrated that PLANT closing, apparently you have not read up! I can tell you its easy to find the video on the AUDACITY of BARACK OBAMA, his district 13 was WORSE OFF after he was elected than BEFORE! SADLY, the propaganda you are telling is WHAT caused OBAMA to get the black vote that normally would have been HRC’s voter block. BARACK OBAMA has a horrible Senate rating he did nothing and was absent 80% of the time, you need to google District 13 in Chicago you will be sickened by it!
Did anyone else catch the interview on FOX with Newt (sp) just before speech. He said something about the fact that the DNC has information on Obama that they do not want public. I only caught part of it….anyone?
I will also use my hotmail account, my address name represents ‘hugging’ a special bird being contanimated by mercury in the Adirondacks.
I will give it a try now.
TURN ON FOX NOW IT’S A REPEAT BUT A GOOD ONE.!!!!

SICK….
Sarah Palin was great. Loved when she went after the great one. Poor Hillary didn’t stand a chance her party and the media was after her like a pack of hungry wolves. At least Sarah has her party behind her. They can help fight off the bias media. Never in my life saw such woman haters as the nowadays bias media. Sad thing, the women in the media hate other women as much as the men do. PUMA was mentioned on CNN as a small group of less than 200 disgruntle women, not enough to make a difference one way or other. Also, said the majority of Hillary supporters are now supporting Obama. At least, the media is using the PUMA name as a group against Democratic party corruption. That’s a good thing.
“A lot of people are caught up with the emotional aspect of Barack Obama, the movie star aspect, the false promises that he’s going to take care of everyone and their Mama.”
AMEN…..
I am heading out for work but one of the morning news show said the Democrats are fighting back! Sen BO has been out attending barbecues with women talking about equal pay for women! Well Oh MY! Why don’t we just talk about equal opportunity for women for another 50years! Democrats, we saw how you treated you more qualified female candidate, we saw what you are trying to do to Governor Palin (mock her out of the race). Act don’t talk about equal opportunity for women. We see what you do because we are not the idiots you think we are.

Sample Letter:
Dear Honorable Sir,
I am a United States Citizen, and resident of _______,
_________.
According to the Constitution of the United States, Article II, Section 1, Clause 5:
“No Person except a natural born Citizen, or a Citizen of the United States, at the time of the Adoption of this Constitution, shall be eligible to the Office of President; ”
In the matter of the 2008 candidates for the office for President of the United States, Sen. McCain has proven to be a natural born citizen of the United States.
Senator Obama, despite repeated requests and demands, has failed to prove he is a natural born citizen of the United States.
Through Surrogates, two online web sites, Daily Kos and FactCheck.org he has proffered a Hawaiian Certificate of Live Birth, which through certified document examiners has proven to be a forgery.
Senator Obama himself, neither verbally nor in writing has addressed the matter of his birth certificate or that he is a natural born citizen of the United States of
America.
In fact, to date, it has been discovered through documents that:
1) Obama was registered as an Indonesian citizen in schools in Indonesia
2) At the age of 20-21 Senator Obama was using an
Indonesian passport to travel from the United States to Pakistan.
It is my belief that if Senator Obama was a natural born citizen in the United States he would have possessed and been using an American passport from the time of his birth.
Furthermore, even if he was a natualized citizen he would have been using an American Passport to travel outside of the USA, but would not be eligible to be President of the United States.
Because Senator Obama has not been forthcoming despite requests and demands for proof of his status as a natural born citizen of the United States, I respectfully request that you and your offices:
A) demand that the Democratic Presidential Nominee Senator Barrack Hussein Obama be required to provide absolute proof of his birth as a natural born citizen of the U.S. to you and the voting citizens of the United States Of America before he is named on a (Florida )state ballot for the office of President of the United States.
Until Senator Obama proves otherwise, to you and publicly to the citizens of this state and to the voting citizens of the United States of America, I believe he may not be qualified to run for or hold the highest office in this land because:
• he Is not a natural-born citizen; and/or
• Lost or gave up his citizenship when he was in Indonesia; and/or
• Has dual loyalties, in violation of the restrictions of the Constitution, because of his citizenship with Indonesia. and possibly Kenya.
• There is no hospital record of where Obama was born. Was it Hawaii; Kenya; Canada?
• School records list Obama as a citizen of Indonesia.
• no explanation has been given of the names he has used: Barack Obama, Barry Soetoro, Barry Obama, Barack Dunham, & Barry Dunham.
• On the Illinois Bar Application – Obama fails to acknowledge use of names other than Barack Hussein Obama,
As (Governor/ Attorney General, / Secretary of State / Officer of the Dept of Justice,)
I respectfully request that you demand:
1) Senator Obama physically present to you and the voting citizens of America, a certified copy of his vault certificate of birth, and that it be examined for validity.
2. Senator Obama physically present to you a certified copy of the Oath of Alligiance Obama would have had to take between the ages of 18-21 to regain his U.S. citizenship after leaving Indonesia using a passport
identifying him as a citizen of Indonesia.
3)require Sen. Obama to submit all documentation that led up to him being a U.S. Citizen.
4) require Daily Kos and FactCheck.org to answer where they obtained or who gave them the copy of the Hawaiian Certificate of Live Birth which has proven to be a forgery.
5) require Fact Check.org which In August 2008 has posted a second “Certificate of Live Birth ” which also is suspect, answer where or who they obtained such certificate from which certificate they have not made itavailable for certified document examiners.
Thanking you for your prompt attention to this matter,
Sincerely,
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
It also wouldnt hurt to send to your local FBI office together with a copy of post #811
I know she is a Republican, but I have to give credit where it is due. She was incredible.
BUT, she is A REFORMER just like Hillary! AND that is WHAT we need, COUNTRY before PARTY! AND the AUDACITY of the DNC to SELECT OBAMA over CLINTON will COST them, then I know they all will KNOW exactly what went wrong with their media driven campaign, am I the ONLY one who recalls HOW disrespected both Bill and Hillary were treated during the primaries, by Obama and his media dogs? AND they even attacked Chelsea, remember the hateful things they said about her “campaigning for her mother?” DID anyone else NOTICE that after the Clintons made their speeches (gratuitous) that they were GONE for the rest of the DNC fiasco…I bet when BILL and HILLARY and CHELSEA go into the voting booth in Nov. I bet they VOTE for JOHN MCCAIN!
Her speech was well delivered.
There is a big discussion going on about how it may have been too insulting and sarcastic to reach out to undecided voters. I tend to agree with that I think if the McCain/Palin want to pull non-jilted undecided voters McCains speech should be on a more amicable tone.
Palin’s speech was directed to the republican base and not to the vast majority of the country. This was a speech to get the far-right on line with the ticket because of their fears of McCain being a “maverick”.
I can’t wait for the VP debates. Two, apparently, hot-headed people trying to get the last word in without boiling over.
Oh what fun.
Article talks about release of the Annnenburg Papers and outlines how close Ayers and NOBO were…much closer than he admits…….

the democratic party is stuck with obama now,even if he loses he will still become the leader of the party and will turn the party into a radical entity largely controlled by leftists and AA’s racial identity political activists..
obama is young .. he’ll be around for a long long time..
i think its time to think third party
#821 Well that is why media do not have any females that women can relate to. Media women have to internalize the sexist corporate line or they won’t get a job in media. They are pretty pathetic to watch. The strange thing is corporate media exist to sell ads to consumers to control their behavior. But since women do not relate to what passes for women on TV, the women’s channels have no viewers, women rarely go to movies and the MSM don’t have a way of reaching real women who make 80% of the purchasing decisions and are 52% of the population.
Another funny thing. If you go to the zoo and observe animals you will find certain types of behavior that females exhibit to males but never to other females because if they did they would get their head slammed into the wall (males have different behaviors to males and females too). Clearly men are making all the media decisions and are charmed by these female to male behaviors and so they pick women for TV who are good at male pleasing behaviors. When women see it they want to puke and change the channel. Women often find the behaviors of TV women similar to some bizarre kabuki because it is so unnatural. It is so simple a mistake and they just keep making it over and over and over. If women picked all the males on male TV shows and picked only men whose behavior they find pleasing men would not watch the resulting TV shows either. So the sexism in MSM is killing the medium.

lol! I sent you ‘another’ forwarded email!
I think the interview I heard last night on FOX was ‘Piling On’ between Hannity and Newt. I do not know how to get the link here. I believe in that interview Newt said something about Obama and issues with terrorists that the DNC does not want us to know. I am absolutely no good with computers so if someone here could listen to it and post (if I am right)…….thanks
#607 A_Male_PUMA – Hi and welcome.
Feel free to lurk and blog at your leisure. You’ll find many like-minded cats around these parts.
Credit where it’s due [Mark Steyn]
I would like to thank the US media for doing such a grand job this last week of lowering expectations by portraying Governor Palin – whoops, I mean Hick-Burg Mayor Palin – as a hillbilly know-nothing permapregnant ditz, half of whose 27 kids are the spawn of a stump-toothed uncle who hasn’t worked since he was an extra in Deliverance.
How’s that narrative holding up, geniuses? Almost as good as your “devoted husband John Edwards” routine?
I trust even now Maureen Dowd is working on a hilarious new column mocking proposed names for the Governor’s first grandchild. Perhaps Richard Cohen can just take the week off and they can rerun his insightful analysis comparing the Palin nomination to Caligula making his horse a consul. Whereas we sophisticates all know that if McCain were as smart as Obama he’d have nominated a dead horse to be his consul. No wait…
seattlegirl…
fascinating.. that part about the slamming the head into the wall is true..i’ve seen it happen at bars before

And another thing about trying to pin the foreclosures on the Bush people. I am not a Bush fan by any means but I would like to chew bone with anyone who says that the greed of real estate brokers, mortgage lenders and foolish home buyers are not to blame.
————
They are to blame, BUT, it was Bush who dismantled the regulations that had been in place for many years which when gone allowed greedy lenders and irresponsible buyers to buy and sell mortgages that blew up in their faces.
Greta van Susteren is a great sympathizer to our PUMA cause because her husband travelled with the HRC campaign. John was totally for Hillary but is now switching to McCain/Palin.

Michelle Malkin has a GREAT article out about feminism today, conservative feminist.
Palin knocked it out of the park—her speech was awesome. I can’t explain my enthusiasm for her when I do not agree with most of her positions except that I am so proud that a woman with five children can show that a woman can do it as well as a man and “backwards and in high heels” to quote Anne Richards. Also my gut tells me that John McCain was willing to take a chance on a woman who was not proven on the national stage because he has confidence in what a woman can do and the Democratic Party (which use to be my party) was not willing to take a chance on the most qualified woman in my lifetime. The Democratic Party is not longer the party of change and the party of women and the family. They just gave up that issue to the Republicans and John McCain.

It is also important to not that Biden had a hand in laxing those regulations as well. He also championed the legislation to make bankrupcy far more difficult.

Fantastic, great Carrie.
Please add the emails from the delegates in Murphy’s previous post that explain the faux convention vote too. I hope it only has factual data to pass on to the media, it will give more credibility.
Good morning from the West Coast, PUMAs.

“674 Dem4Hillary. Great letter. It should be given wide circulation.

A fraudulent candidate like Nobama cannot possibly make a good president.
Palin did an excellent speech! What an uplift after the DNC allowed Hillary to not be the nominee due to caucus fraud!
Just heard on a news clip on talk radio that *61 is attempting to get a court order in Chicago to keep quite his association with Ayers…duh, he is a little slow or what?!?!?
