One of the things I focus on at my own blog is telling the stories of Women’s History. As a teacher, it became obvious to me early on that there was a lot of focus on black history and practically none on women’s history in grades K-12. In fact, I myself had to attend college to learn anything about this fascinating trajectory within history. I was 22 years old before I ever heard the names Elizabeth Cady Stanton and Alice Paul. I swore then that I would do my best to educate as many women as I could about their own compelling history. With that in mind, I offer you the tale of one of the most controversial American women to ever grace our great nation. A leader in business and journalism, she came from a poor and questionable background, but she eventually made her way so high that she directly challenged the existing status quo. That’s what gadflies do.
Victoria Woodhull is a special case, and no other time in our history has been more appropriate to a lesson on her than right now. Maybe it’s because I share her wildness, having come from similar poor and roaming roots. Maybe I have an affinity for her because she was ahead of her time. Whatever the reason, she’s one of my all time favorite historical figures. She was controversial and courageous in so many ways. So indulge me a little if you will (it is Sunday after all), as I tell you the story of a poor girl exploited by her family, who then took on the world with her doe eyes, her rosy cheeks, and her mental acuity, and actually made some progress for women in America.
In her most controversial act, fearlessly, Woodhull declared her candidacy for U. S. President in 1872 (Equal Rights Party), and she had the money to support such a campaign, though not the vote. She was the first woman ever to run for that high office in America. But her origins were much different, and along the way, she left a trail broken barriers. She was nothing like Hillary Clinton, who has always played it straight every day of her life, but she was similarly defiant in the face of criticism, and every bit as accomplished and inspiring.
Victoria California Claflin was born in Homer, Ohio to a rough and ready family. Her father, Reuben, eventually took Victoria and her sister Tennessee on a traveling medicine show, exploiting them for “psychic healing.” Tennessee and Victoria grew very close during this tumultuous, uncertain time, and would remain together throughout their lives. At 15, Victoria married a doctor, Channing Woodhull, whose name she would keep even after they divorced ten years later. They had two children, Byron and Zulu.
Before the divorce, though, Woodhull had moved herself, her sister Tennessee, and her two children to New York City where she began to make connections among wealthy New Yorkers. One of these connections, a certain Mr. Cornelius Vanderbilt, helped finance Victoria in the very first female-run brokerage house in New York City in 1870. Calling it Woodhull, Claflin & Company, she proceeded to expand her empire from there, establishing the Woodhull & Claflin Weekly newspaper shortly thereafter. After success in their brokerage firm, the sisters were given the nicknames “Queens of Finance” and “Bewitching Brokers,” and they quickly earned a notorious reputation for the content of their newspaper. As if it were perfectly normal, the newspaper published articles on “free love,” divorce, sex outside of marriage, and, famously, was the first publication in America to publish the Communist Manifesto.
Of course, this entire time, rumors were swirling within the privileged NYC community (and beyond, due to tabloids) that the sisters were promiscuous or worse, prostitutes, and how their rhetoric was irreligious and immoral. But the sisters didn’t care. They recognized that any publicity was good publicity for women’s rights. And they wanted to be a part of that. Others within the women’s movement disagreed. They thought Woodhull and Claflin were bringing shame and notoriety to the cause of women’s rights, and that it would set it back. I contend that as a matter of history, the sisters were right. They set the margin, quite frankly. Give us rights, or you get more of this. And apparently, it worked, because by 1871, Victoria was giving a speech before Congress.
In fact, she preempted the opening of the National Women’s Suffrage Associations 3rd Annual Convention in Washington D.C., which immediately convened to go see her speak. There she argued such a revolutionary idea–that women already had the right to vote because woman was man’s equal, and thus covered under the Constitution–that many Suffragist leaders, including Stanton and Anthony, immediately invited her to represent their cause. Just as importantly, the argument was powerfully logical to several of the Committee members to which she delivered her speech. Thus, politics was the third realm, after business and publishing, that were traditionally men’s realms, that Victoria had taken on and won.

Good mourning Pumas.
Wow, that was a neat read.
Who wrote the thread text?
New Polls in Ohio shows Mccain 51% BO 44%
I wrote the thread text. And let me tell y’all how difficult that was…
I think women should watch the movie Iron Jawed Angels especially young girls so they’ll understand what women before them had done so they can have their right to vote. Just like freedom, somebody has to pay a high price sometimes with their life, so that others may live. Sometimes we don’t know what we have, until we lose it. (:
I bet it was. You put in a great deal of time. Good work annabelle

Subject: Objections to Special Status Granted to the Democratic Party on FL State Ballots
Dear Sir:
As a follow-up to my August 26, 2008 letter, I am again writing to you to protest the state of Florida allowing the Democratic Party access to our state election ballots.
Upon contacting the SOS, I was told that state officials cannot intervene in the internal operations of any political party and was referred to the DNC. Why would I contact the DNC when they are the ones violating their own Rules? To whom do I turn to make them accountable? I am a taxpayer and expect our state officials to act on our behalf when it is obvious citizens are being deprived of their votes. Howard Dean made clear he would do nothing regarding FL & MI stating they violated the Rules by holding primaries out of turn although other states did that as well and they were not punished. However, at the Rules Committee meeting on May 31, the rules were again broken by giving uncommitted delegates to Sen. Obama and taking 4 pledged delegates from Sen. Clinton and giving them to Sen. Obama. After Howard Dean & Nancy Pelosi “selected” Sen. Obama as the nominee by pressuring and threatening super delegates to vote for Sen. Obama, they again changed the Rules to allow FL & MI a full vote.
At the DNC Convention in Denver, the DNC, Nancy Pelosi, Howard Dean and others, threatened and intimidated delegates prior to the Roll Call and did not hold a bona fide floor vote on the nomination. States were not allowed to go in order and others were passed solely for the purpose of keeping Sen. Obama ahead in the delegate count. Delegates were not told that some states had bound laws and they were bound to vote for the person who won the primary on the First Ballot. Investigations are ongoing in this regard.
We spend taxpayer money for elections that are fair and honest, and support the will of the people. The DNC has shown through its nomination of a candidate by dictum that they are not abiding by our state’s principles. Barrack Obama was given the nomination by super delegates without reaching the proper number of pledged delegates needed to secure it. The super delegates do not officially vote until the convention. It is well known that the super delegates did not vote at the convention and a secret ballot was held prior to the floor vote, all against Party rules.
Furthermore, there are widespread reports and investigations of fraudulent voting irregularities in several states. In the Texas caucuses there was massive voter fraud and voter intimidation. In Oregon there were dead people voting. In Los Angeles, gang members were hired to walk neighborhoods and threaten people to vote for Obama. In some southern states there is an investigation of votes being sold for $20.00, or in some cases, for drugs. These problems affect the results of voting in all states, Florida included, i.e. see website http://www.lynettelong.com/caucusfraud/
The foregoing fraud was seen by countries all over the world. I am alarmed that a rigged roll call and nomination was allowed to happen in the USA. Our soldiers are dying all over the world for democracy and to give others the privilege to cast an honest vote. Former Pres. Jimmy Carter goes to many countries to monitor elections for fraud, yet he did nothing to stop what was going on in our own country. Jimmy Carter endorsed Obama. No Party should be above the law and as a citizen I expect you to do your job. If it is not your job, then whose job is it? .
The spending of our state tax dollars to allow a private club such as the DNC to pick their own candidate in violation of even their own rules, and run that candidate on our state ballots is outrageous. . I assure you, I intend to work to amend our state laws so that from now on the DNC will not be allowed access to our state ballots without the requisite fees and petitions that the other political parties such as the Green Party or the Libertarian Party must pay and supply, unless they return to holding fair elections based upon votes of citizens.
In the interim, I demand that you revoke the special status that our state laws grant to candidates from the Democratic Party to get on the ballot. I await your response.
Excellent article annabelle
#4 ANNABELLE Thank you for the excellent post!
Good morning,
I wanted to let everyone in the Pennsylvania area know that there is a new action group for women. It sounds really exciting and my friend Daryl is one of the founders. I am hoping that everyone will take a look. They are all former Hillary Clinton people and have started approaching some very strong people in Pennsylvania. Anything you guys can do to help is really great! http://womensactiongroupofpa.com/index.html is the web address! So anything you can do to help is great!
One thing I’ve notice in this country, a lot of people don’t exercise their right to vote; in other countries people die so they can have their right to vote. Something’s wrong with America. I know what its like to lose your right to vote, to lose your voice – it is something you will NEVER forget. Once you get out of it, you make a promise to yourself never to allow it to happen again wherever your fate takes you; your voice becomes a whisper in a crowd. The only thing you can hope is there’s one single soul who heard your whisper.
#10 PaulHillary Welcome Back!
Hi Everyone! How are you today?
Hi Pumas – I mentioned previously that I was selected an election judge for my city for both the primary just held on 9/9/08 and also for the general election coming up in November. Our primary is usually just a beauty contest – although this year the senate race is turning out to be interesting -
My 2 cents worth – my precinct has 3,368 registered voters – turn out was 289 which included absentee ballots & 18 new voters who registered on 9/9/08 – another 2 cents – if it weren’t for the ‘older’ voters (and I’m one of those) the turnout would have been even more abysmal – looking forward to November 4 – will see if this presidential election is different that all of the rest have been – young voters have never turned out like the predictors always predict -
Hi eveyone…I have to ask, where is Murphy? Is she ok, she hasn’t been around for a few days!
Went to the Republican HQ today and got a couple of badges. The first one says:
Nobama
Nobiden
The second one I love the best:
O
Crap!
Wore them all through the store today just waiting for someone to say something to me, but no one did, I think I intimate people…
Ohio Lady – I believe someone posted on a prior thread that Murphy is fine, just away for a few days. Not to worry.
Did you guys see this stem cell ad by McCain? Sounds good to me.

Palin in Nevada – Sept. 13, 2008 — Sarah wows them in Carson City
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dp9ozv5u7p4
The street I live on is mostly O Crap supporters so I got a couple of yard signs too…Democrat for McCain/Palin. I’m going to tie one of them to the rails on the porch because I just know someone will try to remove them.
Also, I am going to use a magic marker to add to the sign but I don’t know if I should put PumaPac Democrat or just P.U.M.A. Democrat. What do you all think?
Obama reports 66 million for the month of August. I want his fund raising apparatus investigated! With him sinking in the polls and many of Hillary’s donors refusing to fund his campaign, I want to know where his money is coming from. Someone here on the blog contacted the FBI and they told her that an investigation would have to be requested for them to take any action. Well…how do we go about making a request? Anyone?
Just to show you how committed I am to making sure y’all have good stuff to read, let me tell you how this post came to be.
It was ready to post at 11:30 EDST. I was 90 SECONDS away from hitting publish when the power went out due to windstorms. No problem, hubby and I went to IHOP, which has wifi. Not functioning. So we go to Denny’s. Wifi is also not functioning there. So after having breakfast, I go home to find the power still out. So what do I do? I war-drive for you folks.
War-driving is when you drive around looking for a functional, accessible wifi connection. I found one, and just lost it when the power went out here. So now I’m going to go back to my car, and war-drive some more so I can’t post this comment. Sheesh…I hope you appreciate me for this.
FTR, it took me half an hour to find the connection that allowed me to post that last comment. Now my battery is about to die. GRRRRRRRRRR.

Hi PUMAS! I would first like to let you all know I am a Republican and I have been reading your forums daily for a few weeks now. I can honestly say you are a very organized, informed, intelligent group of people. I have become more educated on Barack Obama just from reading your posts. I hope you all would welcome me here as I would love to become involved in your conversations. There are a few things I would like to share with all of you. I worked at an event on Friday night, at an arts festival to hand out McCain/Palin signs, bumper stickers, etc. We had a conversation about Hillary Clinton and the census among the majority of us was that we had gained a new appreciation and respect for Hillary through the democrat primary’s. Many of us were actually rooting for her to win the nomination even though she would have been a much stronger opponent for us to face. We all agree that if the climate of the country were to elect a democrat (yes, I have voted for a few democrats myself) this season, we would have been sad to lose, but comforted in the fact that she would have the best interest of this country close to her heart. Having an Obama presidency is the most FRIGHTENING prospect I think I have ever faced. We also had a meeting yesterday morning to discuss the next month’s campaign activities and we all agreed that we believe Hillary will have a prominant place in a McCain cabinet. We would actually be honored to have her. We are of course ecstatic about Sarah Palin, but having them both working closely together would be beyond our wildest dreams! I am thrilled to have Senator McCain as our candidate this year, for I am not about right and left but right and wrong. If he says he will have democrats and independents in his adminstration, that is exactly what he will do, it is what this country needs. This is why he has driven so many Republicans CRAZY at times for he is not a party hack. I think he will do the right thing for America, republicans, democrats and independents, they will all have a place in OUR government, this is something Senator McCain has always strived for…bipartisanship. I don’t come here as a Republican, just as a friend, a fellow American. I am not here to convince anyone to do anything or vote for anyone. My only concern is an OBAMA presidency. I may not agree with all of Hillary’s policy’s but I would have rested easy at night if she would have ended up being our next President for I know she would take care of America, stand beside her and guide her. I know Senator McCain has always had great respect for her and has always treated her with the dignity she deserves. The sexism being shown in this campaign cycle by the FAR left has no place in this great country and we need to show them just what the saying “never underestimate the power of a woman” is all about. I am fighting for WOMEN this season, we have been shoved aside and degraded long enough. An Obama presidency will be disasterous for our America, if he gets a hold of her, she will never be the same.
30 go_Ohio_Lady I don’t know my family and friends send me that stuff because they know I like to post anything on Bo.
O Crap gives a whole new meaning to the word “STUPID”.

I have been sending e-mails on my own every day to the media, saying I am a Dem that will not vote for BO, or asking about voter fraud. Not sure it does much good, but I do it anyway. I think it is better when we all attack at the same time.
Thanks, Slyt2
#11 asian4hillary
I think that is one of the reasons I read all of your posts and respect what you have to say so much. You GET it. We are spoiled because many things come easy to us. The vote is one of those things, because we are so far removed from the struggle we feel entitled and why do we need to bother with voting anyway? That attitude makes me sick because even though I am fortunate enough not to know from experience, I am well read enough to know what others have had to do to get certain rights if they indeed have them at all.
#27 go_Ohio_Lady Thank you. I’ll keep asking and sooner or later someone may know. It may be just the thing to pry into to further our cause.
Not sure on the sign what to put. Been thinking about it to no avail. lol I am putting a dem for McCain sign out front as soon as I find one and a puma sign in window. Does that help?where did you get the sign dem for McCain?
#37 gostrumcat ,
I agree with you and asian4hillary 100% about how so many Americans take their freedoms for granted and do not understand the importance of their votes. It is not a right but a priviledge that our forefathers and mothers gave their lives for.
#22 go_Ohio_Lady
I’d put PUMA Dem on it, but I guess it depends on where in Ohio you are. I’d have done it in Columbiana County where I grew up and Portage County where I went to college, but probably not in the Cleveland area where I lived before coming to WA state…

“There’s something I notice about NObama in every speech he delivers heavily covered by the media; “he’s close and yet so far.” He connects with the people for a few minutes like a good lecturer but once a person leaves the lecture room, they can’t remember a damn thing what the lecturer talked about.”
So true! One day a friend at work jokingly said,”Great speech, but what did he say? Something about hope? Hope and change?”, he was laughing but he’ll vote Obama. Sad.
#26 pookie – can you provide the link to that quote? or let me know where it’s from so i can find the speech? thanks.
#40 texassherry
That’s my biggest argument against BO. There are so many countries gaining military strength and we’re pissing them off. If we don’t elect a strong President who can keep us safe, we’ll have to go all the way back to the beginning and learn those lessons again.
#23 CyberFerret52
Great idea! We need a prowl to the FBI.
go_Ohio_Lady Lucky you. The Repub Party here has virtually nothing. I would love it if they had pins like that. The woman I spoke to said she was having to buy her own yard signs with her credit card and then sell them to get reimbursed. I’ll have to call her again and see if they have anything I can get. I bought a yard sign/bumper sticker on special from johnmcain.com for $7 with shipping. But I would love buttons.
#39 jane-pa
I googled Democrats for McCain right around the time I found PUMA and found a site where I got a Dems for McC bumper sticker. I don’t know more than that as the payment went through Paypal and I didn’t pay attention to who it went to. Mine is on one side of my bumper and my Hillary sticker is on the other side. Folks here in Oly still have Americans for Wes Clark and WWRD? (What Would Reagan Do) stickers on their cars, so I don’t have trouble with mine even though it’s a pro-BO world out here!
Topic: New PUMA site
If you have the url for the site Carrie’s been working on, could you please post it again, I’d like to look at it so I can see what else I can send her for it now, thanks.

#44 anna 7000 as I posted I received it as a email but go to this link and I guess it is not factual. I should have looked it up before posting it. But when you go to the link look at some of the asinine posts that the obots have on there, they are defending him without even checking to see if the quote is correct. Sorry next time I will check out the quotes about him before posting
#45 gostrumcat,
Yep. I agree again
cable public access talk shows are an excellent way to get local attention..get on one and let the people know what PUMA stands for!!
Annabelle, thank you for your excellent post. Not many know about the early feminists. We think we have an up-hill battle, but nothing compared with them.
I am an oddity – a feminist and Democratic woman who is pro-life. (I leave a lot of blank spots on election ballots. ) I am not welcome in my own party, but I have refused to be forced out when most of my social values are better represented in the Democratic party. Needless to say, I am used to the feeling of alienation, and a certain sense of detachment has been a shield for me.
However, most do not know that the early feminists were solidly pro-life. They believed in the sacredness of each and every life, and it was what drove them. Feminists for Life has a section of their website on Herstory. If you are interested, it is very good.
I know that this is not a popular stand, and I won’t bring it up again. IHowever, I wanted to add to the sources for the historical roots of feminism.
Hey everyone, I saw this website that was selling Sarah Palin clothes and I even saw a Puma 4 Palin shirt. The back of it has the McCain/Palin logo with Palin on the top of the ticket. The site is palinpower.spreadshirt.com. Just figured I’d let you know.
pookie – thanks. unfortunately, this is the nature of the world we now live in. rumors abound on the internet and some are presented in such a way that makes them appear very legit. then stuff goes viral and before you know it someone tells someone tells someone etc. it’s hard to be a careful consumer of information, as if you have to maintain a level of vigilence and skepticsm while being your own detective. ugh. anyway, thanks again for answering my question. much appreciated.
make no mistake about it..the obama campaign finds itself sinking and it will out of sheer deseration do everything they can to destroy governor palin..because they know from practice that sexism is their most lethal weapon..
they are going after the woman..
this is nothing short than a WAR on women..
FOR THOSE STILL UNSURE OF THEIR VOTING STRATEGY, ESPECIALLY THOSE CONSIDERING NOT VOTING FOR MC CAIN (and of course it goes w/o saying no one’s voting for bo):
In order to make sure you understand the voting rules and regulations of your state and in order to make sure you don’t allow any window of opportunity to give Obama a single vote not cast for him, you may want to contact your Secretary of State’s office to find out about the voting parameters in your state.
If, when you call, the person you speak with sounds unsure about any of their answers, or prefaces their answer with “I think….” or “I’m pretty sure….”, insist that you speak with someone in the office who can answer you question(s) definitively.
Here is a template to use when making your call.

Date and Time:
If I vote for everything except President and leave the President slot empty, will it be counted toward the candidate of the party of which I am a member anyway?
If I am not a member of either major party, how would leaving the President slot blank be counted?
If I write in a name in the President slot that is permitted under CA law, will it be counted toward the person who I write it?
If I write in a name in the President slot that is NOT permitted under CA law, will it be counted anyway, be ignore, or will it go toward another Presidential candidate? If the latter, how is that determined?
Is there any other scenario other than what I’ve described whereby if I don’t vote for one of the Presidential candidates on the ticket, my vote may still be counted toward one of them in some way? If so, please describe.
If I don’t vote for President, but vote for down ticket candidates, is it possible for my ballot to be discounted because it wasn’t complete?
#7 Ladyhawke, wow, right on, ladyhawke..!
p.s. did anyone see my post #49, thanks.
gostrumcat thanks its a starting place.
PS As per prior posts, despite the nature of the first two questions on the SoS template, I, for one, wouldn’t recommend leaving the top slot blank due to the risk of someone being able to tamper with your ballot after you cast it.

Thanks for working so hard to get your post out. My husband using one of those gadgets that you plug into your computer and you can get internet access anywhere.

Repost to New Orleans Puma from the “What is Puma” discussion.
“New Orleans Puma, I think that you may have been told some false information. It is a fact that the G.O.P did more for civil rights and women’s rights than the Democrat Party. All you have to do is look back in the old platforms of both Parties. The GOP was the first party to support civil rights and women’s rights in their platform while Democrats EXPLICITLY supported slavery in their platforms. If you’d like, I could get you all the information so that you could see for yourself. We can debate on issues, but there’s no debating a fact. The Republican Party did more than the Democrat Party for civil rights and women’s rights and that’s not a partisan opinion, that is a fact.”
PS Sorry again. I wrote the voting template for myself, originally, hence references to “CA”. Needless to say, replace with your own state.
#60 Anna7000 I agree with you I have mentioned this to some knowledgeable people and they said it would be taking a big chance to leave it blank. No one knows for sure what dishonest people can do with our ballots. Especially This election.
Two good things to remember, (I hope I am correct on this) there is no caucus voting in the General Election!
This is were BO scammed the system. He did poorly in almost every other election.
His base- is first time voters of the immature type, so many will not vote for someone they think will be defeated.
Anna,great info should be posted several times a day………..I would hate to think of obama getting any vote because we did not know the rules or procedures.

I would like some help on figuring how to present myself, a script like I used to make calls for Hillary.

Republicans and Women
Standing in sharp contrast to the two existing political parties’ present stereotypes regarding minorities and women, once again the Republican Party was the vanguard in relation to women. In 1917, Jeannette Rankin, a Montana Republican, became the first woman to serve in the House. Committed to her pacifist beliefs, she was the only member of Congress to vote against entry into both World War I and World War II.
Shortly after Rankin’s election to Congress, the 19th Amendment was passed in 1919. The amendment’s journey to ratification had been a long and difficult one. Starting in 1896, the Republican Party became the first major party to officially favor women’s suffrage. That year, Republican Sen. A. A. Sargent of California introduced a proposal in the Senate to give women the right to vote. The proposal was defeated four times in the Democratic-controlled Senate. When the Republican Party regained control of Congress, the Equal Suffrage Amendment finally passed (304-88). Only 16 Republicans opposed the amendment.
When the amendment was submitted to the states, 26 of the 36 states that ratified it had Republican-controlled legislatures. Of the nine states that voted against ratification, eight were controlled by Democrats. Twelve states, all Republican, had given women full suffrage before the federal amendment was finally ratified.

Would you mind clicking on the Action Center and telling me if the formatting is all whacked out when viewed on a Mac?
Don’t expect Obama to play fair on NOV.4th. In Florida with the new Anti-Voter fraud Law now in place,The NAACP has filed a law suit trying to stop it. We know why. Voters now have to have positive ID. It also has to match their Voter Registration info. This LAW NO MATCH NO VOTE is great. Wish every state had it.

Hey All,
Back from beautiful North Carolina — wow southerners are nice.
Our rental car broke down 1/2 hour from the airport and we thought we’d miss our flight. rescued by two good samaritans — a North Carolina State coach and his wife drove us all the way to the airport, helped us check our bags and didnt leave until we were safe through boarding.

Is there anyone who is good at writing to help us out ?
We need a talking template to initiate conversation with people about voting Anti Obama. Several versions would be great. We can pick and choose which one is applicable at any given time. See post below:
Sorry, I am working on Sunday as well but I will try to post some ideas and perhaps we can gather them all up and have Dances put it in the action center.

That’s funny! I used to say I was first generation Ohioan on my Dad’s side because he and his parents were born in WV and my mom’s dad was born there too. It’s certainly a different kind of flow for sure!
Hi all, been out of town but am back to start prowling! I have a few democratic emails to share with you. Just received this one;
There’s so much at stake in this election (you bet there is)– fixing our economy, solving the energy crisis, dealing with climate change, and restoring America’s position in the world. (and keeping dishonest politicians out of office)
You and I know that.(agree on that last line) But John McCain is trying to distract voters from the real issues. (oh please, is that the best you can come up with?) And he’s willing to take the low road by making cheap personal attacks (ahem, lipstick and pig, recall that Barack?) and lying outright about Barack and his record(OMG, what record? broken record is the only one that I can find for Obama).
It’s up to each of us(right about that, US PUMAS) to talk to voters across the country and make sure they know what this election is really about (fraud, corruption, lies, sexism, hatered, biased opinions from MSM, want more?) — especially in a battleground state like yours (OHIO SAYS PLUCK OFF OBAMA).
We have an exciting new tool called Neighbor to Neighbor (can’t wait to call MY neighbors!)that makes it easy to talk to potential supporters in your community about Barack and the issues that matter (I will let them know that Obama is an empty suit).
Nothing is more powerful than having undecided voters hear from ordinary people. (oh, I am SO ordinary!) And right now, that’s needed more than ever. (you got it….sweetie)
No prior experience is required.(kind of like Obama’s resume’) Neighbor to Neighbor gives you a list of potential supporters,(LOL-NOT) suggested topics to talk about, (more voter fraud) and an easy way to report back on who you’ve contacted(oh, why so he can BUY votes in OHIO?).
With less than eight weeks until Election Day, (Obama will FAIL) we can’t allow voters to lose focus on the big issues (ALL THE ABOVE ISSUES) and get swept up by the smears and lies coming out of the McCain campaign. (Oh, you people just are not RIGHT! Talk about liars, look at yourself in the mirror!)

I say we up the ante, let’s not just look for an Obama loss this year but let’s make it a sweeping loss, I would like to see him loose as many states as possible.
I am in Az but think I will concentrate on N.M., as it is a neighbor and Judas has been there pontificating about the chosen one since when? March? Lots of hispanic voters, we need to concentrate on- along w/ us bitter females over 40, the Latino vote will be a big decider this year.

Here are a few parts of the article that might give you a hint:
Striding across a sweltering strip-mall parking lot with her clipboard in hand, Monica Bell, a community field organizer in Orlando, Fla., was looking for former convicts to add to the state’s voter rolls.
“I can’t vote because I got three felonies,” Mr. Benton told Ms. Bell. He had finished a six-month sentence for possession of $600 worth of crack cocaine, he said. But Ms. Bell had good news for him: The Florida Legislature and Gov. Charlie Crist, a Republican, changed the rules last year to restore the voting rights of about 112,000 former convicts.
Felony disenfranchisement — often a holdover from exclusionary Jim Crow-era laws like poll taxes and ballot box literacy tests — affects about 5.3 million former and current felons in the United States
A loose-knit group of national organizations working to restore voting rights includes the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now, or Acorn (Ms. Bell’s employer); the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People; and the Brennan Center for Justice.
Charles J. Ogletree Jr., a Harvard law professor and senior adviser to the Obama campaign on criminal justice issues, said he had briefed campaign officials about felony disenfranchisement issues and the various and often-confusing state requirements to restore voting rights to former convicts.
Last month, Obama campaign workers took down a sign at their headquarters in Pottstown, Pa., that said “Felons can vote,” because it might have sent the wrong message.
Felony disenfranchisement — often a holdover from exclusionary Jim Crow-era laws like poll taxes and ballot box literacy tests — affects about 5.3 million former and current felons in the United States

affects about 5.3 million former and current felons in the United States, according to voting rights groups. But voter registration and advocacy groups say that recent overhauls of these Reconstruction-era laws have loosened enough in some states to make it worth the time
Dances- other states can be involved, and the laws change pretty quickly. Also, if these felons go into vote, same day voting, who can check if they are eligible in time?

But, but, but… aren’t most felons Republicans?

Good points. Thanks.
Is Hillary clinton on drugs? As I watch her campaigning for Obama, she sure doesn’t look or sound the same as she did in the primaries. Her voice just kinda drones on in a monotone and makes ya wanna change the channel.
It takes a lot of COURAGE to stand up against a party you’ve embraced for years, you’ve promised your loyalty. What are you going to do when the said party no longer stand up for what you believe in but rather oppresses you, would you still support it?
There are no tyrants where there are no slaves.
Abuse to your own person can only happen and continue if you allow the abuser to keep on doing without repercussions coming from you; it goes the same thing with politics and politicians. You discipline a child when they misbehave, you tell them to stand up in the corner and ponder what they’ve done; you should do the same with politicians.
Loyalty to a political party and politicians has its limitations, you must learn to draw the line. When you put their own well being ahead of you, you’d pay a price, a price you can’t afford. I know what it means, those that comes before me was negligent and allow the abuse and manipulation of the powerful to bring the whole country down to its knees; it was my generation who had to pay the heavy price so the future generation don’t have to suffer what my generation had gone through. When you lose it, it would take blood to gain it back, it will never come easy, it requires all the courage you have, from the tip of your hair to the tip of your toes, it requires real devotion, real commitment that if giving up your life is required, you will not hesitate to give it.
The more I learn about the Democratic Party, the more they remind me of my own nightmare. I see in the party I used to embrace a high probability of a tyrant, such a beguiling tyrant. Always be true to yourself. At the end of the day, the only one who’ll be there for you is you.
Use plain common sense when you cast your vote this November, think what is best for you and your family, not what is best for your political party.
101 Gosuef4Hill – McCain may be up 20 points, but Obama is up 18.5 points. End result, the race is super, super close. Saying McCain is “up 20 points” sounds like there’s a 20 point gap between him and Obama,which isn’t the case. Not sure how you intended it, but could easily be mistakenly perceived that way.

I too am an R who has been reading the PUMA blog. I am disturbed by the thought of an OBAMA administration…if the way he treated Hillary (whom I have much respect for) is the way he treats all women, well, it’s just not a pretty thought…
PUMA’s, you are truly an amazing group!
MURPHY:
How many did you convert to Puma’s while you were gone. LOL
What scares me the most about Obama is….George Bush. Looking back over the last 8 years, I remember all the time it seemed like bush just ignored the will of the people to do as he pleased. I remember all the ‘vacations’ and trips around the world. He has laid the groundwork for future despots. It’s probably been that way with every president. (Actually, I remember how upset people were at the incredible,expensive, waste of money Bill clinto spent on his inauguration with the five fancy Ball, when everyone wondered why he couldn’t have just one).
But, once they get into office, the voters no longer have any voice in what they do. Bush set a precedent for the abuses of power and I’m sure Obama would make him look small in comparison. Really scary stuff!

In General election, it is the electoral votes that count not the popular vote. In primary election, popular vote is the deciding factor who’ll be the nominee.
#141 Asian4Hillary ,
This year in the primaries it was the delegate vote that counted because if the popular vote counted then Hillary would be the nominee.
IMHO….given the urgency and magnitude of the threat americans are facing with a possible obama presidency PUMAS in my opinion should make a temporary united front with the GOP and other NOBAMA groups in order to protect our country..
we should coordinate with them and have high level talks as to how we can work together to stop obama
130 osaka puma I wish EVERYONE could be educated about the incredibly extensive power that the gangs and criminal element, just in California, exert over the law enforcement agencies, corrections department and governing bodies. It was bad when I lived there in the 60′s but has grown exponentially with the population and is now very much reminiscent of Mexico and third world countrys. To get what they want, they simply threaten the victims families. I had friends who left the state because of such threats.
I have no doubts that many of the people who threaten others at voting registration and the caucuses and primaries were those kind of people.
“In primary election, popular vote is the deciding factor who’ll be the nominee.”
Sadly, this was not the case this year and, technically, is not the case any year. It boils down to delegates.
So, we truly have no system whereby the popular vote wins the day. It may, but no guaranteees.

Hillary must be exhausted and depressed. I am her age, and I cannot imagine how she kept going through the primary at that amazing clip.
The fact that she is out there is nothing short of amazing. On another thread, someone commented that she does not look quite as good as she did during the primary. The fact is that it is doubtful that she can afford to keep her assistant or that it would be a good use of her money. How much of her campaign debt is left? Of all the contributions, I feel that should be at the top of our list.
In General election, it is the electoral votes that count not the popular vote. In primary election, popular vote is the deciding factor who’ll be the nominee.
Like I mentioned earlier – the Rep’s will NEVER allow happen to Palin what the Dem’s allowed to happen to Hillary.
I feel the more BO tries to dig up dirt on Palin, the more voters defend her. At this point, I have the feeling even if he could dig up horrible stuff on Palin, few would care, because they would dig in even deeper to defend her. The Dem’s should learn a lesson here on how to treat a lady – something they never learned with Hillary.
And, make no mistake about it, the Rep’s know how to get down and dirty – they have had a lot more practice at it.
Does anyone else remember during the primaries when the press was constantly reporting statistics showing that professional, educated people were voting for Obama and the uneducated, blue-collar people were voting for Hillary? They’d show some hillbilly saying he wouldn’t vote for Obama because he was black. I was so bothered by this because the insinuation was clear and it was unfair to use someone who obviously did not reflect the average voter to explain why people were voting the way they were. Why does the media insist on putting down groups of people, especially hard working people? I wonder if they’ll do this again since Palin is a small town girl–who knows how to use a gun?

this is deadly serious ..california is already becoming like a third world country..
my proposal is to take away citizenship from violent felons and gang bangers..emprison them or deport them to countries that will take a stipend fee from us to keep them in their countries…send blacks to siberia..whites to africa and hispanics to eastern europe..
we also need to NOT ALLOW visitor priveleges to gang leaders in state prisons because they are the command centers for murder and other dangerous crimes.. we have got to get serious about this problem because its going to destroy us sooner or later
Dear Newsmedia,
Two critical issues may affect the outcome of the November General Election:
1. Same day voter registration and voting in many states.
2. States restore voting rights for ex-convicts.
Both of these issues will help the Obama campaign if Republican’s are not active in these areas.
3. Here is an article that just came out about item #2 above
States restore voting rights for ex-convicts. -
http://www.nytimes.com/2008/09/14/us/politics/14felony.html?ref=politics

There are many articles out about the pitfalls and potential fraud of same day registration and voting, here are a couple articles to give you a heads up:

According to the Daily Kooks:
“CHICAGO – Senator Barack Obama’s campaign announced today that more than half a million new donors contributed to the Obama campaign during the month of August, bringing the total raised for the month to over $66 million and the cash on hand to more than $77 million. More than 2.5 million people have contributed to the campaign”
So if he had 66M, raised 66M and now has only 77M, this means he spent 55M in August! Wow! For all that he is trailing in the polls? Is anyone out there reading this? Are you still giving him money? If so, seek help!
My God, I can’t wait to see his expenditures!
VAKatforPalin….nice to meet you! I come over here because I am so impressed with the organization, determination and strength of all the PUMAS. There is a wealth of credible information over here. You know if the democrats ran their primary’s with the same rules as the republicans, Hillary would have won the nomination….just some food for thought, she won ALL the big states and was kicking his a** at the end of the primaries.

This year in the primaries it was the delegate vote that counted because if the popular vote counted then Hillary would be the nominee.
=====
Actually Hillary won in popular and delegate votes, the DNC gave the uncommitted in Michigan to NObama, then stole 4 delegates from Hillary. When Edwards endorsed NObama, he also gave all his delegates to him. What made it TRAGIC for voters; superdelegates and DNC people are pushing for Hillary to quit, but she didn’t. What Hillary had done, totally disregarding pressure from her own party which many have forgotten, she GAVE VOICE TO THE PEOPLE; come hell and high water all voters must be heard; that REQUIRES a lot of courage. I salute Hillary for doing the right thing for the people, she has TESTICULAR FORTITUDE more than those men in DNC and women like Pelosi or Brazille. Hillary is a FIGHTER, she did not yield even to the point of embarassing herself as spinmeisters chant 24/7. She was under tremendous pressure, her own party abandoned her; the only people who stand up beside her was Bill Clinton and WE Hillary supporters.
It was very hard for me to watch her being treated viciously by NObama, Nobama campaigners and supporters and the media. I will never forgive them what they’ve done to her.
NObama due to his hunger for power evokes hatred from those who listen to him, as he himself is the source of such hatred he playfully spread out throughout his campaign continue doing it.

I watched the DNC and the RNC and I was shocked as to “the chosen ones” arrogance. I try to have an open mind with politics and not just vote the party line, but he was just a little too much. I also think that he KNOWS Hillary is a very strong, very intelligent and decisive woman and he didn’t want to be upstaged by her.
I learned of the PUMA’s when Geradine F. talked about the group on FoxNews. When I found the web and blog, I was totally impressed. I work in DC and let me tell you, our government needs a total shake up! And to hear all the information on why Hillary was not the Dem nominee is just astounding….
annabelle, this is a beautiful post.
one of my longish-term plans for Puma PAC is to write an elementary and middle school curriculum on women’s rights/women’s history.
I was shocked and dismayed after watching Iron Jawed Angels. Shocked because I had never even HEARD of Alice Paul and dismayed because my two older kids, products of gold-star public schools have studied the civil right movement for five years in a row (which is a good thing!) but have no frickin clue that there even WAS a women’s movement.
Annabelle, I think you should write it.

I think our public schools should teach our children about the Women’s movement, if they don’t know how women like Alice Paul change our country, they’ll never understand the relevance of electing a woman up to the Whitehouse.
I grew up in Asia, when I was in grade school we were taught about our heroes and that includes women who gave up their lives for freedom. When a woman run for President, the people never hesitate to vote for her. When powerful men try to oust her through coup d etat, the one who stand up beside her are men and women, but majority are men.
For a society to be considered as advanced or modern, they must first treat women as equal with their men; that she too can aspire for the highest office of the land and achieve it.
Good article by a former Hillary supporter and female Psychologist about putting gender first…

Re: girlsrule’s comment
I know a lot of Republican women because of my pro-life stance. My experience (take it for what it is worth) is that none of the Republicans I knew wanted Hillary to win because it was perceived that it would be a slam dunk win for the Democrats all down the line. At the same time, these same women were truly disturbed by the treatment that she was receiving from the media. (They did not “get” the inside the Party game at all.) They did not see Hillary as ever changing her stance on pro-life but they were horrified (as am I) by Obama’s record on this issue. And finally, they were never concerned about Hillary’s ability to manage the actual job of President. They gnerally saw her as a moderate. I have heard of the “hatred” of Republicans towards Hillary. Because of the people I am involved with are a subset of Republicans, I did not encounter that emotion. I did encounter the hope she wold not be selected because she would win! And finally, the fact that she was not offered the position of VP was stunning; they instantly undertood it was a bad decision on Obama’s part and could cost him the election. That was before Palin was on the horizon.
I think that someone should do something with the electorial college and allow the people to elect their own president. This is all just a game for them to try and destroy our country.
Does anyone want to attempt this or have the knowledge. Im sure that I dont but have thought this for several years.
This would stop alot of this garbage..

As an R, you are correct! Hillary would have been a VERY strong opponent and one we weren’t sure we could overcome BUT we absolutely hated the way she was treated and we didn’t even know the “inside politics” stuff…
Hey, Billie Jo – I didn’t write the dramatic statement about the “end of democracy”. Someone was referencing something I said. From where I sit, our system has been as it’s been for a very long time in terms of how votes get translated into delegates or electoral college votes. This year was the result of corruption within the Obama campaign and the DNC, and, perhaps, the drawbacks of having a caucus system during the primaries.

Hillary was treated wrong. If she doesn’t look as good on the “campaign” trail today, it is because she is purposely not sending out a strong message for BO. She’s doing the speeches, maybe in exchange for something, but her heart is not in the message. Her lack of enthusiasm is a signal to us. Don’t vote for BO.

The BO campaign announced $66 million, but last time they announced the amount, it included $12.55 million that was transfered from other funds shared with the DNC. You can tell better by the total BO/DNC funds. The $66 million could include $20-30 million in transfers. To really know, you have to see the FEC report that will be released after the 20th.

Berg v. Obama Update — Friday, September 5
Obama, DNC Served Yesterday Afternoon
Illinois Sen. Barack Obama was served with papers yesterday connected with the lawsuit filed more than two weeks ago in federal court in Philadelphia questioning his constitutional eligibility for the American presidency. Service was made at his Washington, D.C. Senate office at approximately 1:00 p.m.
From a press release provided by filing attorney Philip Berg and available on his Web site:
Philip J. Berg, Esquire, the Attorney who filed suit against Barack H. Obama challenging Senator Obama’s eligibility to serve as President of the United States, has received confirmation from his Process Service Company that the Democratic National Committee (DNC) and Senator Barack Obama were served today, September 4, 2008, with the legal documents pertaining to Berg vs. Obama, Civil Action No. 08-cv-4083.
The DNC was served at 12:00 p.m. and Senator Obama was served at 1:00 p.m. The U.S. Attorney’s Office accepted service on behalf of the Federal Elections Committee (FEC) on or about August 22, 2008.
A telephone call to Obama’s Senate office in Washington, D.C. yielded no official comment, as his staffer maintained that she was “not familiar with any legal action” and, even though I mentioned that service was made in D.C. to that office, it was “probably a campaign-related issue.”
The subsequent call to the senator’s campaign headquarters, however, yielded the same result but in a more entertaining fashion.
“That’s very interesting,” said a campaign official who declined to provide a name and admitted that this was the first he had heard of Berg’s lawsuit. He asked whether anything about the civil action had appeared in the newspapers, and when told that the story had appeared in the Washington Times, he laughed.
“Has the story appeared in the New York Times? How about the Washington Post? Or the Los Angeles Times? The Chicago Tribune?” he asked. “Those are all more trustworthy papers than the Washington Times. When the story appears there, then we might have something to say about it.”
“If Sen. Obama were ineligible to run for president,” he said, “I think we would have heard about it by now.”
Berg, over the phone, mentioned that he has received phone calls and advice from dozens of lawyers across the country, and was currently working on preparing a motion for expedited discovery to be filed before the next conference with Judge Surrick. While he was unable to provide a copy of the affidavit of service–as soon as I get a copy, it will be posted here–he was more than happy to offer his perspective on the predictable response I received from Obama’s senate office and campaign headquarters.
“They know about it,” he said, noting that the story has catapulted across the Internet and radiowaves, citing 7.9 million hits on his Web site and mentioning that he is booked for a pair of radio interviews this evening, and will be sitting with a newspaper photographer for another story to appear in the [Norristown, PA] Times-Herald. “Too many times, a lawsuit can be filed and nobody knows about it. This time, the political people must know for sure.”
“The silence is proving me right,” he said, wondering why no doctor or nurse has come forward to claim the inevitable publicity which would accompany an admission that they were in attendance for the Illinois senator’s birth. “I think it’s an insult to the American public and even more so to his campaign supporters who have worked so hard and donated so much money. All they’re doing is prolonging the agony. If I’m right and they stay quiet, they could sit on it for 60 days, get elected, and the only way out would be impeachment by this do-nothing Congress.”
“What does that do for America?” He asked. “This deserves a comment one way or another.”

I read all the comments on that diary. It’s amazing how some of them are so hate-filled that they attack the person who says she was a Puma and has changed her mind.
I do think the diary is bogus. Why would the Republican convention have changed her mind? If anything, the sham Democratic convention should have turned true Democrats into Pumas!

#211 Murphy
The $66 mil was from the August closing. It is probably from the convention shake downs, when they still thought BO could win.
I stated my position as pro-life not to argue the issue but 1. to suggest some other information about the early history of feminism and 2. to explain my connection to some Republican women.
Again, I refuse to get drawn into a debate about the issue itself. This is not the forum. In another forum, I would gladly debate the issue. Just not here.
I think we can agree on this.
UPDATE (from where i sit)
Obama not as far ahead in the polls as likely many anticipated he would be at this point.
Obama continues to raise enormous sums of money.
Obama still has a slight edge over McCain in the electoral college and most recently has come within just a few votes of the magic number of 270.
McCain and Palin been hit hard by the press in recent days.
Palin is now being vetted and there’s no room for error since election day looms on the horizon.
McCain’s post-convention bump drifting down, as would be expected.
No matter how passionately we may feel, how outraged, how shocked, the fact remains, Obama is raking in tons of money, still appears to have a slight edge over McCain and the Dems are registering new voters like crazy.
We have precious few days to make the biggest push we can! We don’t have to wait for Murphy’s prowls. We can act on our own. Dances just put together an incredible Action Center with all the tools we need. Let’s put it to good use!
#197 osaka puma
No argument here.
What scares me is that 72% of Americans identify themselves as somewhat religious.
But, VERY few of those actually know what theology Obama is a believer of.
Black Liberation Theology is SCARY!
If a White Christan (and most Black Christians) knew what was being preached in Trinity Church, they would outright reject Obama!
The problem is, just talking about BLT is a loser. Nobody will pay attention.
Rev Wright had some attention a year before the clips we have all seen. The reports were just ignored because people just can’t imagine what the fuss was. UNTIL the clips of ranting Wright became public, Boy Howdy people paid attention then because it was SHOCKING to see and hear.
The MSM will NOT do a special on Trinity, or even BLT. So we are all fat, dumb, and happy, just like they want us.
I am asking everyone. Religious or not. Become educated on BLT and let’s get the threat of a President that believes in BLT out to the uneducated. I’m telling you guys, when people actually pay attention and get over the shock, Obama’s BLT faith is a killer.
To think he has raised his two daughters in this racist, American hating church, is appalling!
This video is NOT BS! It’s the facts!
http://www.obamareligion.net/
And go to wikipedia and read some more there.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_liberation_theology
You want to sink Obama without fatally hurting the Democratic Party? Then make sure everyone you know is aware of BLT and Obama.
I hope it’s not too late.

ACCOUNTABILITY
The DNC has posted the Convention Delegate Tally.
http://www.demconvention.com/securing-the-nomination
There was only one “official” vote. I received an email from Alice Germond and she is basically saying that we need to get the individual delegate votes from the state DNC’s. We not only need to compile this information for general accountability, but for assessment. The two main questions would be:
• Did each delegate vote as the record indicates?
• Were state binding laws violated by the delegates?
We still need a database of specified attributes for each of the 4,000+ delegates.
1. Name
2. State
3. Type (SuperDelegate/Bound)
4. Convention Ballot (Hotel Room/Breakfast)Vote
5. Convention Floor Vote
6. Tallied Vote
7. Verified by Delegate (Yes/No/Unknown)
8. Preconvention Vote (June Campaign Suspension)
What are the thoughts on how we could get this done? Anyone want to ask Alice? (First 6 Items)

Headclunker – Here’s one problem with Ms. Germond’s numbers. I believe they are a total of the pledged and supers. I want the pledged only, since they are the ones pledged to reflect the will of the voters. Supers, by definition, have always been able to vote however they see fit.
Speaking about Bo’s contributions this book I am reading has a paragraph: When we examine where Obama has gotten most of the funds to run his 2008 presidential compaign, we find that hypocrisy is evidently not a fault Obama minds having. According to watchdogopensecrets.org, Wall street investment firms and U.S. law firms representing multinational U.S. contributors. At the top of Obama’s contributor list is Goldman Sachs, followed by UBS, JPMorgan Chase, Citigroup, Lehman Brothers, and Morgan Stanley. Among the law firms leading the list of Obama 2008 campaign contributors are New York- based Skadden, Arps;Los Angeles-based Katgan&Watkins; Chicago-based Kirkland&Ellis and Sidley Austin, the law firm where Michele Obama was an associate and met her future husband.

#173 GOSUEF4HIL & #220 antifish,
The DailyKos (who posted this “diary”) is well known as a site who strives to print untruths. They posted pictures with an article about Trig being the son of Bristol. The pictures were of Gov Palin from 2006 (when she was obviously not pregnant) and said they were taken in 2008–thus Trig could not be her son, but had to be the oldest daughters (“proved” by the “stomach” pooch Bristol had in the picture)–however, I believe they were called on it big time and because that article and it’s proof pictures were taken down. Clearly a disgrace to respected journalism everywhere…
yep — the Puma Democratic Party — that’s us.

alright, maybe it’s not 66 million raised from individual dem donors, but wtf — we have WORK to do.

To whom it may concern:
Senator Obama has a track record of talking about the need to get big money out of politics. Not so very long ago, he was in support of accepting only public financing for his campaign. He boasts of having a “grassroots” organization.
But the facts reveal something quite different from the lofty words. The senator from Illinois declined John McCain’s invitation to agree to accept public financing. And, it appears that the Obama campaign is funded by some of the largest, most powerful multinational corporations in America. He does not raise tens of millions of dollars a month from the little people of his presumably grassroots organization. No. Instead, he is funded by the likes of Lehman Bros, Goldman Sachs, and JP Morgan Chase among countless others.
In this, and so many other ways, Senator Obama appears to speak out of two sides of his mouth, saying one thing, but doing quite another.
How can any thinking person trust this individual? How can anyone truly say what it is that he stands for?
I grew up knowing that actions spoke louder than words and Senator Obama’s actions speak volumes.
Let there be no mistake lest anyone have any doubt, Senator Obama is not fit for the most awesome job of President of the Untied States and Commander in Chief. He simply can’t be trusted.
Sincerely,
RASMUSSEN BREAKING POLL!
35% Expect McCain Victory, 34% Say Obama Will Win
Sunday, September 14, 2008
John McCain’s convention and his choice of Sarah Palin as a running mate have moved him from 18 points behind to a one-point lead over Barack Obama when voters are asked who is likely to win this year’s presidential election, according to a new Rasmussen reports national telephone survey.
Thirty-five percent (35%) say they expect McCain to win, 34% expect an Obama victory, and 30% say the race is too close to call.
While McCain’s 35% to 34% edge is statistically insignificant, it is a remarkable turnaround from a month ago when 46% expected an Obama victory versus 28% who thought the Republican would win.

I saw a comment earlier mentioned about creating a temporary alliance with the GOP in order to keep BHO out of the White House. This can work and has been done before. FDR had a “New Deal” coalition which was a temporary union of Conservative Democrats, Liberal Democrats and some Liberal Republicans that had a goal of ramming the New Deal through Congress. The Reagan Coalition is well known for its union of Republicans and Conservative Democrats who were appalled by the far left taking over their party starting with the McGovern nomination (and blowout) in 1972. Some people switched parties but for the most part, the Democrats stayed as Democrats. They were united by a common cause, a common goal. This is evident in the actual Republican Party today. The entire party is full of alliances between differing viewpoints. You have Neoconservatives (like George W. Bush), Libertarian Conservatives (like Ron Paul), Social Conservatives (like Sam Brownback), Populist Conservatives (like Mike Huckabee), Moderate Conservatives (like John McCain), Economic Conservatives (like Mitt Romney) and Liberal Conservatives (like Rudy Guiliani, Dennis Miller, etc.) all in the same Party. What they disagree on, they disagree passionately on. What they agree on is what unites them. PUMA voters should create an (even if its temporary) alliance with the GOP to keep Obama out of the White House. Remember that old saying, “The enemy of my enemy is my friend”.

Good idea. If people familiarize themselves with what’s available at the Action Center, it will cut down on BcodS.
I am confortable with two parties that are about equally divided. If that were not the case, corruption would be worse than it is now. No party is free of corruption because all politics is about power.
Call me cynical but I am just trying to be realistic. I am more concerned about a media that is skewed to one direction only. That does not bode well for our country. The internet (for all of its problems) developed just in time. And Pumas … we are on the front lines for democracy and honest government … right where we are at this moment. The few Pumas that bear the brunt of most of the actual work … and we know who you are … thank you from the bottom of my heart.
The fact of the matter is that if Obama loses this election, there will be a “come to Mama” moment big time. This will be the shocker of all shockers … and soul searching is guaranteed.

SUGGESTION:
Everyone who’s on the blog or lurking, take a couple of minutes and go check out the Action Center. Familiarize yourself with the tools available. You may even decide to put some to use today. (No time like the present.) You’ll like it! It’ll be fun! You’ll feel empowered! You’ll feel proud! And, you’ll feel grateful! How great will that be?!*
What a great text. I especially liked the first part about Hillary, who did all the right things and was paid back with a lack of respect and dishonesty. I too am one of those women who has always been obedient, but I won’t obey now. thanks for an inspiring story.

I went though IVF to have my child. That experience made me more pro-life and it made me understand the desperate need for young girls to be educated about their bodies. Most women don’t seem to know exactly what their bodies are doing each month. From my experience I can tell you the moment my ovary drops an egg! I do know that a woman is not pregnant until the embryo implants, which is 5 days after conception. An embryo does not guarantee a pregnancy. Which is why I also support embryonic stem cell research for embryos that would be discarded otherwise. In my my mind, life begins when a woman has a viable pregnancy…on that 5th day. I understand rape and incest is a problem–there are drugs that can be given after intercourse to prevent pregnancy and I admit I would allow abortion for those victims. I don’t know what the legal solution is, but I do know we need more education for women and major self-esteem courses/counseling for young girls. It is shocking how many teenage girls think sex is the only way to make them popular or loved.

I agree with you about the California accent. I’ve always thought that they did not have an accent because they spoke like I did. Now, when I am on a trip people often think that I am from Canada, because I don’t have an accent.

What we didn’t know was that a major candidate would accept the side effect political benefits to him of a sexist onslaught fueled by the noxious fumes of Swamp Misogyny. We didn’t know our political leadership would stand by like cowardly, weak-willed onlookers at a daytime mugging. We didn’t know they would classify our support of the most popular and competent woman candidate in history as emotional, angry, irrational, hysterical, ugly, and stupid.

I didn’t want to print all this: where the hypocrisy part came from was this: Lee Cary a Conservative commentator shared the observation about Obama’s GlobalPoverty Act that “those who feel like victims want the guilty exposed and loathed.” In this context, Cary noted the Obama campaign was airing radio ads in Texas in which Obama claimed that “some CEOs make more in 10 minutes than some American workers make in a year”. arguing that this was somehow unfair. Cary noted that Obama did not include in this derision his endorser, Oprah Winfrey. Calling Obama the “Global Candidate,” Cary said his goal was to “cite multinational corporations as the leading exploiters of the world’s poor, with wall street’s favorites leading the pack

Welcome back, Murphy! Thanks so much for letting me fill in for you this weekend. I’d be happy to any time.
And, to update people on my own status–we are still without power here in So. Indiana. BVetween us and Louisville, KY, we have nearly a million people without power here. I am very worried about the groceries I bought yesterday. It sucks living pay check to pay check.
Anyway, it’s an hour wait here at the local IHOP, if that gives you any idea. Luckily I can recharge my laptop and post comments with you folks while I wait.
Thanks to everyone for making me feel at home here this weekend. I’ll be back soon!

So the Obama campaign raised 66 million dollars last month and they continue to sink in the polls??? Does that speak volumes???
for your relaxation and amusement, even though I’m not sure exactly what this is:

I have a suggestion…Perhaps we need to unite with other anit-obama people who belong to other groups. We need to build bigger and stronger groups to avoid getting Mr BS in the white house. If the groups were to pull together our voices would be louder. Not only will our voices be louder, we can have more support to get the word out.. Just a suggestion, because I need help in Collin County..

Hi,
Where is Collin County?
Which groups are you thinking about uniting with?
Hispanic4Hillary – Others have made this suggestion. I, too, wish some of these grassroots orgs would consolidate. Probably a bit late in the game for any chance of that happening, even if they were inclined to do so. I figure, we just gotta work with what we’ve got. Meanwhile, just as an fyi, PUMApac does have regional moderators who may be able to focus you in terms of where you live. Also, maybe post your state so others in your state may be able to link up with you.

Comment to posters re: joining efforts, pooling resources-
AGREE!! Main focus Nobama.
But several of us who believe the best way to defeat Nobama is by supporting McCain (even though WE ARE NOT REPUBLICANS)- there will be some info in the next few days on the swing states and ways you can help by putting your efforts where it matters most.
I will share info when I get it, I am on an e-mail list thru hireheels- sure some of you here are too-
Perhaps the best way to get the word out is thru Murphy- or if there is another e-mail list that Murphy keeps?
This will cut down on the trolls picking up our info.

THIS IS MOVING. HOW QUICKLY WE FORGET…..IF ….WE EVER KNEW……
WHY WOMEN SHOULD VOTE
This is the story of our Grandmothers and Great-grandmothers; they lived only 90 years ago.
Remember, it was not until 1920
that women were granted the right to go to the polls and vote.
The women were innocent and defenseless, but they were jailed
nonetheless for picketing the White House, carrying signs asking
for the vote.
(Lucy Burns)
And by the end of the night, they were barely alive.
Forty prison guards wielding clubs and their warden’s blessing
went on a rampage against the 33 women wrongly convicted of
‘obstructing sidewalk traffic.’
They beat Lucy Burns, chained her hands to the cell bars above
her head and left her hanging for the night, bleeding and gasping
for air.
(Dora Lewis)
They hurled Dora Lewis into a dark cell, smashed her
head against an iron bed and knocked her out cold. Her cellmate,
Alice Cosu, thought Lewis was dead and suffered a heart attack.
Additional affidavits describe the guards grabbing, dragging,
beating, choking, slamming, pinching, twisting and kicking the women.
Thus unfolded the’Night of Terror’ on Nov. 15, 1917,
when the warden at the Occoquan Workhouse in Virginia ordered his
guards to teach a lesson to the suffragists imprisoned there because
they dared to picket Woodrow Wilson’s White House for the right
to vote.
For weeks, the women’s only water came from an open pail. Their
food–all of it colorless slop–was infested with worms.
(Alice Paul)
When one of the leaders, Alice Paul, embarked on a hunger strike, they tied her to a chair, forced a tube down her throat and poured liquid into her until she vomited. She was tortured like this for weeks
until word was smuggled out to the press.
http://memory.loc.gov/ammem/collections/suffrage/nwp/prisoners.pdf
So, refresh my memory. Some women won’t vote this year because-
-why, exactly? We have carpool duties? We have to get to work?
Our vote doesn’t matter? It’s raining?
Last week, I went to a sparsely attended screening of HBO’s new
movie ‘Iron Jawed Angels.’ It is a graphic depiction of the battle
these women waged so that I could pull the curtain at the polling
booth and have my say. I am ashamed to say I needed the reminder.
All these years later, voter registration is still my passion. But the
actual act of voting had become less personal for me, more rote.
Frankly, voting often felt more like an obligation than a privilege.
Sometimes it was inconvenient.
My friend Wendy, who is my age and studied women’s history,
saw the HBO movie, too. When she stopped by my desk to talk
about it, she looked angry. She was–with herself. ‘One thought
kept coming back to me as I watched that movie,’ she said.
‘What would those women think of the way I use, or don’t use,
my right to vote? All of us take it for granted now, not just
younger women, but those of us who did seek to learn.’ The
right to vote, she said, had become valuable to her ‘all over again.’
HBO released the movie on video and DVD . I wish all history,
social studies and government teachers would include the movie in
their curriculum I want it shown on Bunco night, too, and anywhere
else women gather. I realize this isn’t our usual idea of socializing,
but we are not voting in the numbers that we should be, and I think
a little shock therapy is in order.
It is jarring to watch Woodrow Wilson and his cronies try to persuade a psychiatrist to declare Alice Paul insane so that she could be permanently institutionalized. And it is inspiring to watch the doctor refuse. Alice Paul was strong, he said, and brave. That didn’t make her crazy.
The doctor admonished the men: ‘Courage in women is often mistaken for insanity.’
Please, if you are so inclined, pass this on to all the women you know.
We need to get out and vote and use this right that was fought so
hard for us by these very courageous women. Whether you vote democratic, republican or independent party – remember to vote.
History is being made.

Hillaryisthe One: Thank you for this post. Easy to forget how long the powermongers in this country have hated, and feared the power of women….They will remember the power this year. Women will decide who the next President of the United States. will be.Every woman who VOTES will decide that!

So, unfortunately, Huffy and Kossok both get hits from my house, as well as that fat blow-hard Oberman (sorry for my rant but I feel like I can do it here- if I do it in my own home- I don’t even want to go there)
McCain is holding his own in FL and Ohio. We need to make PA PUMA territory. We need to put all our resource time, and energy into PA. Obama must win PA. Iif we can take PA out of the hand of Obama, PUMA will be one political force forever. We have Corbett and we have Obama’s bitter statement about the good folks of PA. This should be a PUMA Take AWAY. We need a map of all the rural area’s Hillary won and concentrate on them. You don’t have to vote McCain just take PA away from Obama

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OpapdB-bCFI
Just for giggles.
Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.
I am disgusted — why I keep tuning in to the MSM shows, I don’t know, but here goes:
1. Why are the hosts and commentators STILL saying Palin made a huge error by her inability to correctly answer Gibson’s question about the Bush Doctrine? If WE all know that Gibson screwed up, that there is a transcript of unedited interview…why should we not hold them to a higher standard when reporting???
I really think we need to do a GROWL to ABC for the Gibson interview, his condescending, disrespectful and rude treatment of Palin, the edited telecast that completely misconstrued her words in order to give the wrong message. My own paper’s headlines said “Palin wants war with Russia.”
And while we are at it with ABC — let’s not forget the treatment of McCain and Cindy on the VIEW. I actually heard on ABC This Week this morning that McCain was taken off guard by the nature of the questions and was angry and defensive — not *my* VIEW!!!
2. How can we gag McCaskill? She simply does not get it. I’m happy to say that Carly Fiorina is a formidable spokesperson for McCain. She left McCaskill in the dust this morning.
How many commentators, and/or Obama supporters do we have to continue to hear that Hillary supporters will “come around come election.” It is making me crazy!
Another GROWL — to McCaskill, Bedaglia, Rendell, Mitchell, and all the others — we are NOT going to “come around” and that we are intent on voting against Obama today, tomorrow, a week from Thursday and on election day. And after that, we copy to the Republican talking heads that seem favorable to our efforts…so next time these guys are on the air spouting their BS, they can be held accountable. MSM is not hearing us, but the Republicans are. If Geraldine Ferraro is using our communications, just think how the Republicans will!
On the upside — I was talking to a Vietnamese friend today, a former Hillary supporter, and who now supports McCain and loves Palin. He told me that all of his Vietnamese friends are voting for McCain. McCain was a POW, has publicly stated that a corrupt government stands in Vietnam in spite of our efforts, and has been sympathetic to and instrumental in bringing thousands of Vietnamese to the US. (I am repeating what was told to me.) Also, I had heard on the radio that Palin’s dealings in Alaska were numerous with Asian countries and that Alaska actually had satellite offices in many of them, specifically because of fish exports. This could be a huge demographic voting bloc…do any of our Asian Pumas have any suggestions on how we can reach out to our Asian friends?
One more thought about voter fraud. I posted this yesterday but I think it got buried. Here in CA there is concern that with the high number of home foreclosures, voter fraud will be a real problem. Efforts are underway to determine how best to match residents with an address. The worry is that people will have moved from one location but will vote more than once since they are still registered at their former addresses. Worse still, that there will be imposters using foreclosed addresses as their residences.
I don’t know what the incidence of foreclosure is in Ohio, but it might be worth a mention with this register/vote in the same day business that they are promoting in that state.
Okay, I’m done…someone else’s turn. Have a good day, PUMAs!

I might add, I think they also need to learn how and what to say to ensure that BOTH of you are using protection and to refuse to go any “further” until all the prep has been done. From what I have seen, kids (unfortunately are going to want to try certain experiences) need to be able to speak comfortably with each other before they go any further. The heat of the moment doesn’t stop the repercussions. Both men and women need to know how to use a condom IF they are going to engage in sexual activities. In many colleges, they teach freshman how to put on a condom, where to get them and go over basics on sex and what can happen. This doesn’t encourage them to be sexually active, but encourages them not to be, but if they choose, use common sense and here is how to do that.
#307 john …I agree with you 100%. I am from western PA and Hillary won here by 70% in most of the rural counties. Many are blue collar workers whose jobs went overseas. Many do not like BO but don’t know what McCain has to offer them. I am willing to get as much NOBO information needed to bombard this area.

Missy, et al…
Have you considered letting the MSM continue to say you all “will come around”… give them a false sense of security and then…wham, bam….
Or another thought is that they KNOW you’re not going to come around, but they want to make it SEEM like you are so other Dems who are on the fence, feel like its okay to vote for BO…if that’s the case, then your best bet is websites like this, youtube videos, phone calls–all the “grassroots” stuff…AND, I think you might find some “women for palin” groups (R & D) who you could work with to move this along…
And I think your best bet are people like Geraldine Ferraro, John Coale, and even Dick Morris to get the PUMA message out… Sean Hannity would definitely put your message out there, but I fear the Obama machine would counter with something like “he’s a Republican, of course he’d say that…”

*******************
I am beginning to think that contacting the media, other than FOX, or possibly Lou Dobbs, is a complete waste of our efforts…hence, my suggestion to begin copying the Republican talking heads.
Carly Fiorina’s job has been to reach out to those of us who were Hillary voters — I personally think it was due to her efforts that the Republicans embraced Palin for the VP slot.
Can you imagine next time on TV when one of Obama’s talking heads is stating with all sorts of “authority” that we will come around — and the Republican talking head can retort with “that’s not what we are hearing from the thousands of letters we have received from alienated Hillary voters…which by the way was sent to you as well.

2. if murphy wants to do a prowl, i will ask for help on the blog to gather the names of the ceo’s for the various companies along with e-mail addresses.
3. if murphy doesn’t want to do a prowl, i will post what i have and see if there is interest among bloggers. if so, we can try to do our best to gather what we need and take action on our own.
what do you think of this plan?

“In many colleges, they teach freshman how to put on a condom, where to get them and go over basics on sex and what can happen. This doesn’t encourage them to be sexually active, but encourages them not to be, but if they choose, use common sense and here is how to do that.”
Call me bad! I did that for my sons when they were teenagers. I talked openly and honestly that I do not approve of teenagers having sex..but safety above all was extremely important. I KNOW teens fool around and I did not want them getting diseases because they were too ashamed (or unprepared) to ask about doing things properly. I was pretty red-faced but I bravely bought them , opened them and demo’ed as much as I could. They were teenagers and dating. I stressed repeatedly that I did not advocate sexual activity at that time, but I wanted them to know how to protect themselves .

HEADS UP EVERYBODY
I just bought for only about $15.00 from Amazon.com the following book. It came yesterday. “The Case Against Barack Obama” by David Freddoso. It’s an excellent current report of some 290 pages.
Among other things on page 163 we have the following: “Michelle Obama’s employer, University of Chicago Hospitals, raised her pay from $121,910 in 2004 to $316,962 in 2005, two months after her husband became a U.S. Senator. Barack Obama would later request a $1 million federal earmark for the hospital. Her job is public relations. There’s a lot more in this book.
Suggest you get a copy and check it out.

“Devastating Video, Obama talks about job Ayers gave him”

(This is especially for those pumas who are following the Obama/ Ayers history: Chicago Annenberg Challenge)
Back Channels: Don’t Cry Racism if Obama Loses. He Couldn’t Have Gotten This Far Without White Support.
Excerpt: Hey, Barack Obama could not have clinched the nomination without votes from white Americans. The other party isn’t supposed to just concede the election based on skin color. Voters shouldn’t have to choose based on race when they disagree on issues or believe a candidate isn’t up to the job.

#364 Blue Blue Gal What????? Don’t be a wimp, you were the one who was going ride shot gun into a hurricane and your scared of a bottle oh the shame..
Ugh, I need a shower now. After reading some of the comments from the Obots on DailyKos, I feel so dirty, ick.
One poster said, “Gosh that angry mob at the Republican convention was scary.”
WTH? The only angry mob that I heard about was all of the crazy moonbats outside the convention.
And another poster said this, “I would also be willing to bet that most of them [republicans] have never been outside the US.” I find this so amusing! I guess my mission work in Nicaragua doesn’t count. Lol
Maybe you all can help this ignorant republican with this line of thinking … why do some democrats think that Republican peeps have never been outside of the U.S.?
GOSUEF4HIL, I do think that you will see some PUMAs jump ship over to the Obama camp. I’m sure the pressure from family and friends to vote party line is enormous so I can understand why some would vote Obama.

husband gave me same warning you did – 1 per hour -
will give it a shot ( no pun intended lol) when no alarm clock the following morn -
I love Hillary Rodham Clinton. I love her because, as a 45 year old man, she is one of only a handful of human beings (note, I said human being and not woman) in my lifetime that I truly admire, respect and aspire to be like. Yet Hillary is a woman, one who has devoted her life to the cause of woman’s rights around the world, and as a man, I find that to be an extremely noble cause. In my opinion, women are generally the ones who truly see the world from a balanced intellectual, emotional and spiritual point of view, and it’s this amazing perspective that qualifies them to govern and lead, above men.
Unfortunately, most men don’t see it as I do, or they do but fear that power in women, so they must suppress and control women to feel empowered themselves. They easily do this because men are generally physically larger and can dominate them, and/or they control all the governments, wealth and corporate power which allow them to stifle ‘their’ women. In most societies, women are to be seen and not heard and are possessions of their men, and any woman who tries to advance herself is chastised with sexism and misogyny. And don’t get me started on religion, because that has always been man’s greatest tool to suppress women. I’ve lived all over the world and I’ve seen it first-hand. I also have a mother and two sisters, aunts, and countless female friends. To most of them, and many men like me, Hillary Rodham Clinton represented, and still does, a modern movement for women across the globe. To finally see a female POTUS would be the ultimate shattering of male dominated society in our modern times. But it was not to be….this time around, at least.
I became a PUMA because, as a male Democrat, I am ashamed at the behavior of the DNC, Obama campaign and many of his supporters. We are supposed to be the party of the people and we had a golden opportunity to take a giant leap forward for women’s rights and equality. This was Hillary’s and all women’s moment, not just because it was high-time to take that leap, but because Hillary is a highly intelligent, articulate and experienced leader with an encyclopedia about the issues that affect us all in her brain; exactly what we need in these chaotic times. She is our generations FDR and because she is a woman, she would have changed the face of gender politics forever.
But the powers that be, which apparently isn’t us voters any longer, opted for yet another man, only this time one who pseudo-represents a political social movement that has nothing to do with being a Democrat at all. With all due respect, women of all races have been suffering oppression much longer than any one specific race or class of people. But that’s the male dominated powers for you. They push a racial movement to mask their sexism because they think we’re all stupid and will buy it. They over-turned the will of the voting Democrats to select a sexist, homophobic “Bush-like” slick-tongue Willy who’s mesmerized a lot of shallow minded, angry and/or fearful people with empty promises of change. And they call it “new politics”. Yeah right.
I believe in the PUMA movement because I believe it is time for woman, and frankly men, everywhere to say NO to this archaic way of treating and thinking about women, and a big NO to the corrupt and manipulative way in which Obama stole the nomination from Hillary. I believe the Democrats have proven to us all that they are no longer the party of the people because they ignored the will of the people and more than half of those people are women, a constituency they clearly don’t support the advancement of. I support strongly a protest vote against Obama and the DNC at the top of the ticket in November. Only by defeating Obama will women everywhere win this battle, which in itself is a victory for all Americans, and in 2012, we will have Hillary as our President.
john – i think focusing on pa is crucial. i have the impression that philly will likely go to bo, but pittsburg is less certain. and then there’s all the rest of that gorgeous green, rolling hills state in between!
girlsrule, VAKaforPalin:
thanks for stopping by and sharing. I too have been visiting…..your neighborhood. It was there that I connected with the vid you mentioned “Dr. Mr Obama”. Hopefully it will get even more play to help keep O out of the WH. The Bots must really be running scared and taking queues from their leader since your site was unbelievable overrun by the droves this weekend by the Bots. From what little I was able to glean, your site is totally open to anyone–no moderator or dungeon.
Too bad.
Here, Murphy and crew do a fantastic job of keeping our Puma paths cleared for research and prowls. A safer haven for viewing the trees through the forest, and truths.
Come visit again. You are welcome.
Good evening everyone! I finally finished cramming all my homework in.
Just read some of the posts.
#367Mick- I really doubt that is a Puma member.
VAKat- Welcome!
Great job Dances !! Thanks for your time and energy to the Action Center page.

I hope everyone sees post #33 so you will know who I am. I wanted to share a video with all of you titled “Dear Mr. Obama” by an Iraq War Veteran named Specialist Joe Cooke. It is VERY powerful and I have been writing to find someone who could fund this for tv. It has almost 6 1/2 million views on you tube:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TG4fe9GlWS8
*****
I watched the “Dear Mr. Obama” video last week when someone posted it. It is very touching at the very end.
Perhaps some of us who are so inclined can blitz the McCain people to use it for their TV ad. It is very factual and powerful without smearing anyone.
#358 kat in your hat
Did you read the comment part of that YouTube video?
This scary comment below caught my eye. Even before reading this, I’ve often thought that if Obama loses that we will see riots. I hope I’m wrong. It will be a very sad day in American history if we do.
“TawanaObama (20 minutes ago)
You racist white motherf#ckers are going to pay if you bring our proud black brother, Barack Obama down.
The only reason white people aren’t voting for him is because he is strong, smart and BLACK. You’re all a bunch of racists. If Obama is not elected president we are going to riot in the streets and burn the cities down. We’ve had enough of sitting in the back of the bus. We aren’t going to take this sh#t lying down. We black Muslims are going to serve you up some black justice!
Obama4ever”
Yes I am catholic don’t know how they knew this but I got this letter today and I wanted to share the polling .
CATHOLIC POLLING DATA:
Pollster John Zogby remarks that McCain is winning Catholic voters by double digits:
“The striking thing here in this poll is that McCain has pulled ahead among Catholics by double-digits…”
– John Zogby, “Republicans Hold Small Post-Convention Edge,” Zogby International, 9/6/08
CNN Poll shows McCain winning white Catholic voters by a 23-point margin:
“But McCain-Palin have pulled ahead among independents (50-43), among married women (48-44) and especially among white Catholics (59-36).”
– Andrew Malcolm, “2 new polls: Obama-McCain tied, but McCain-Palin surge among women,” Los Angeles Times, 9/8/08
They have a website catholics for McCains.
Jamesinseattle: thank you for posting.
good to read a man’s intellectual and candid point of view.

QUESTION – HELP
What’s the approx number of e-mail addresses it’s safe to put into the bcc box w/o risking it all being perceived as spam?
What’s the point of using the bcc box instead of “to” or “cc” for mass e-mails?
Thanks.
#378 Mick,
ignore those kinds of comments. They called us racists, angry white women, stupid, etc. That didn’t work. Threatening to riot isn’t going to work any better. Let them riot. They can watch the election results from jail.
blue – just open the flip top of the can and you’re good to go!
Remember, a vote for McPalin is a vote Obama will never get! If you are planning to write in a name or vote for none of the above you need to check your state laws to find out if those kinds of votes are assigned to a candidate anyway.
These open threads are getting longer and longer day by day. I can barely find the time to read them in their entirety. Phew
Where is the moderator? #378 needs to be removed.
#378 mick I had to go look that up after you posted that and it’s funny almost every single comment is going after that comment now. i was thinking about reporting it but it’s better letting these people tear him/her up.
#389 Bella-Me maybe it’s your computer mine is going fine unless others are having trouble too. Why do you want #378 removed??

In order to make sure you understand the voting rules and regulations of your state and in order to make sure we do not allow any window of opportunity to give Obama a single vote not cast for him, voters are encouraged to contact their Secretary of State’s office to educate themselves about the voting parameters in their state. For those who plan to vote for John McCain, this will not be an issue. However, for those still unsure about their strategy, education about how your ballot will be treated is crucial.
If, when you call, the person you speak with sounds unsure about any of their answers, or prefaces their answer with “I think….” or “I’m pretty sure….”, insist that you speak with someone in the office who can answer you question(s) definitively.
Here is a template to use when making your call. To find the phone number for the Secretary of State’s office, check the blue pages in the front of your phone book or call information.
Note: The first two questions pertain to leaving the top of the ticket blank, however leaving the top of the ticket blank is not advised since it will leave your ballot vulnerable to being tampered with. Therefore, likely best to have a voting strategy that leaves no areas blank.

Person I spoke with:
Date and Time:
If I vote for everything except President and leave the President slot empty, will it be counted toward the candidate of the party of which I am a member anyway?
If I am not a member of either major party, how would leaving the President slot blank be counted?
If I write in a name in the President slot that is permitted under (your state) law, will it be counted toward the person who I write it?
If I write in a name in the President slot that is NOT permitted under (your state) law, will it be counted anyway, be ignore, or will it go toward another Presidential candidate? If the latter, how is that determined?
Is there any other scenario other than what I’ve described whereby if I don’t vote for one of the Presidential candidates on the ticket, my vote may still be counted toward one of them in some way? If so, please describe.
If I don’t vote for President, but vote for down ticket candidates, is it possible for my ballot to be discounted because it wasn’t complete?

NICE PIECE ON WILL BOWER’S WEB SITE:
It’s time to build, and build big. As PUMAs let us make it our personal mission to personally recruit 3 people to our cause between now and election day. Once we bring them on board, let’s have them go out and get 3 as well. Think of it this way, if you personally get 3 people infused with PUMA power, and they get 3 people each, that’s 9 new PUMAs, if those 9 get 3, that’s 27 new PUMAs, if those 27 get 3, that’s 81 PUMAs, 81 PUMAs getting 3 each, that’s 243 new PUMAs, when those 243 get 3 that’s 729 PUMAs, and when those 729 get 3 PUMAs, you would have brought in 2,187 PUMAs to the cause simply because you showed your PUMA pride and had 3 people join the cause!
So let’s go, go, go!
PUMA Power!

Anna7000- Very funny. You had a question about bcc and cc. Use bcc because others will not know they are being sent mass mail.
NobamaNetwork: Remember, a vote for McPalin is a vote Obama will never get! If you are planning to write in a name or vote for none of the above you need to check your state laws to find out if those kinds of votes are assigned to a candidate anyway.
I agree. Everyone MUST get the facts from their states. I’ve stated this on our blog multiple times.
You can use OREGON as a perfect example: here in this state, if you sign-in someone’s name, based on tallies and percentages, your vote will automatically go to the Dem’s winner, which in this state IS Obama.
Yes, it’s not fair. But in this state, it’s legal.
Please Pumas, whatever your decision on how to vote, you must check with your own state’s voting rules & requirements.
I urge all Oregonian Pumas to not sit at home or write-in, but vote top of the ticket: McCain/Palin for this reason.

I, too educated my son on sex and birth control when i thought he was old enough. I also taught him to stay away from strangers. I didn’t want the school to teach him. I believe that is the parents job. I think the school can send a note home that they will assist if the parent needs or wants it but that is as far as they should go. Let the parents be parents and the teachers be teachers. Religion, culture, and morals should be taught at home. My opinion but a strong one.
Hi. I’m new here. I’ve been a regular on the McCain blog and heard about you from someone who is on both blogs. I’ve been reading your blog regularly for some weeks now, and now just joined. I hope you don’t mind a repub (don’t worry, I’m not going to try to make you repubs) who is just as FURIOUS at what the dem leadership (and BO) did to Hillary, and has an absolute TERROR at the thought of BO winning.

391 slyt2 I think it is not appropriate to post the comments from those sites especially when it has the flaming content it has in it.
I personally feel #378 is offensive. Going to those sites and bringing those type of comments to this site serves NO positive purpose. Discussing racial voting and riots are only forms of intimidation and fear tactics and using vulgarity is inappropriate.
If no one else has a problem with it then I respect that. I am new since Friday and just will not be back.
#405 mick sure can , it’s not a interview (yet) it has interviews in it (things about being a govern her life ) it is interviewing friends and a woman who wrote a book on her and talking about her life growing up her parents, siblings, highschool, college. It is really good and interesting she is funny and had a normal middle class up bringing.Greta is narrating it.

A FEW PEOPLE HAVE ALREADY REPLIED TO THIS. HOWEVER, I PUT MY OWN EMAIL ADDRESS AT THE END OF THE BCC EMAIL LIST SO THAT I KNOW THAT MY BCC WORKS. IF YOU PUT IT IN THE “TO” I ALWAYS WORRY THAT I AM THE ONLY ONE THAT GOT THE EMAIL.
IF YOU HAVE A LOT OF EMAILS TO SEND AND THE CONTENT IS IDENTICAL, BCC TAKES NO TIME AT ALL.
ACTUALLY, IF ONE OF US HAVE A LOT OF EMAILS TO SEND AND WE DON’T WANT TO USE OUR OWN EMAIL ADDRESS, WE CAN FORWARD THIS EMAIL LIST TO SOME WILLING PUMA TO DO IT. OTHERWISE, JUST CREATE ANOTHER EMAIL ADDRESS JUST FOR SPAMMING PURPOSE.
Huffington Post has banned me, and deleted all my posts. I have no idea why. Apparently they only deal with the converted. Tough times there. Anyone else have that experience?
Whoa, didn’t mean to offend you #410 Bella-Me.
I only viewed that YouTube because if was posted on this blog. That comment wasn’t MY comment, it’s from one of the Obama supporters. It caught my attention because I found it so crazy and I thought I would share my thoughts about it. My purpose in posting it was to show how crazy some of the Obots are getting in their hate speech. If admin. wants to remove my post its okay by me.
There’s really no need to get so upset, it’s not the first time some of the hateful Obot comments are posted here from another site.

#410 Belle Me i was at the store next to where i live and a young fellow came in and the owners wife was talking to be about Hillary. I said yes i just love that lady. Well he went off on me. Called me every name in the book. Said when BO got in they would take older women like me and sliit our throats and the younger ones make slaves out of them. Burn our homes and steal everything we have. The owner grabbed him by the scuff of his neck and threw him out of the store. This is what and who they really are and how horrible his followerd talk.

I hate to see the Obot’s comments posted here but this one that is now in debate certainly is powerful in that it shows us WHY WE SHOULD STEP UP OUR ACTIONS TOWARDS NOBAMA. . We should totally blitz all media and everyone , to show them what Obama’s Black brothers and sisters intend to do. This offends me to the max. This is not how America should pick a president – under threat of our cities burning.

Can you post the link where this “obama4 Ever” posted his comments. We must serve this up to the media.
Too funny Fox is doing a story on Palin, CNN I mean ONN is doing a story on Palin at the same time but of course they are demonizing her. CNN advertisers need to hear from the PUMAs.
if you have watched the links to the Larry Sinclair National Press Club briefing, and you question whether or not Obama was still using drugs in 1999, maybe these two videos will raise a few eyebrows as to whether he is STILL using them…note in this video he says “hold on a second I can’t hear myself and NO ONE is uttering a word”…he appears a bit “tipsy” to me:
http://www.youtube.com/watch...
Geraldine F is being interviewed about Palin she is just going on and on about her saying I can’t give her any advice she is doing great on her own , she doesn’t need any help from me. She is said Joe Biden better be careful during debates because Sarah is good.
Just in case you are wondering if this was the only time he appears “tipsy”, here is another example (maybe he is the one who needs a breathalizer:

Well, hang on for a terrible week of trashing Sarah Palin–The National Enquirer is GOING AFTER HER KIDS. I wonder how much $$$$ Obama minions gaveto the NE to spread around to ferret out “true-ahem” stories up in Alaska. When did kids become political fodder ???
A Message to Obama,Michelle Obama, the Media:
Are your kids ‘fair game’ now ? Can we lie, slander, report any thing someone says because they’don’t like’ them??? Your enemies are probably chomping at the bit to dig thru your childs school records, medical records (gosh, is one of your kids hitting the cough medicine a bit too much for a high? Hmm lets see, what else…), can we drag their names thru the mud, flog them pubicly just to ‘get’ to you ??? Katy Couric..what about your little girls…fair game ?? What about the rest of you media types on CNN,MSNBS,ABC ..your little ones fair game ?And BO&MO have you given us tacit approval to ravage your two daughters in the press ??? There seems to be a true Saul Alinsky , ‘win at ALL COSTS’, truly dirty campaign . Moms & Dads throughout this great country of ours should have no trouble sending Obama sleazy ways back to Chicago in November. Good Riddance!

PERCEPTION IS REALITY

this is now what i believe the democrats are banking on, I truly believe they think
“if we say it, they will vote”…
Total BS!! We are not coming around. I am w/ all of the posters above, not today, not tomorrow, not next week, not next month and most certainly NOT ON ELECTION DAY!!
so put that in your pipe Howie…
You racist white motherf#ckers are going to pay if you bring our proud black brother, Barack Obama down.
———————————————————
I’ve already paid. I contribute to puma pac.
Sometimes I think it’s McCain freaks posting those comments to drive whomeve is left away from teh obama camp.
Burn the place down. Who cares? I don’t. Although, it woudl be fun to what your sorry ass being dressed in PUMA Orange and being frog jumped to prison.
#315, Missy, I can empathise with your frustration. I think everyone will get that we will not come around for Obama on November 5th.
Anna 7000 and BarbNOBO No doubt PA is crucial an if we can take PA from Obama thats a POWERFUL statement by the PUMA’s
freddie – thanks for answering my question (been away from the blog for a bit. sorry for the delay in getting back to you). i’ve typically used links to media outlets, but now plan to use the media links in the action center more often on my own and wanted to make sure i didn’t overload how many to do at a time. your post was exactly the info i needed.
Thank you, Cassie, for the link to the Washington Times article. I had not already read it. I believe that Mr. Voight points out clearly what we will be facing if Obama should be elected President.
LOL Freddie good one
john and barb – i think sunny pa has been pretty focused on PA, but she doesn’t blog here that much any more, which is a shame cause she’s a great person and a real addition to this blog. but, i know she’s off doing her thing elsewhere and is the type of person who will do everything in her power to make sure bo doesn’t win pa.
Greta on Fox did a really good job with the Palin Story
#424 Blue Blue Gal ,
I think the last time I got an email from them was when Howard Dean was here.
Good night all!
LuareyPuma
Did you try to get in touch with me?
Oops Laurey Puma … so sorry ..can’t seem to type today.
441 LaureyPuma
are you the laurey that I once knew? ummm, magnolia house?
good night shamooovta sweet dreams
lilibet
I had read that and really feel that alot of people feel that way but would be afraid to say it. He is a courageous man. Did you know he was being blacklisted from hollywood?
I was actually feeling lonely and didn’t know if anyone knew I was around.
INTERESTING ANALYSIS OF WHY CERTAIN TRADITIONALLY RED STATES IN THE WEST ARE LEANING BLUE:
Just saw a story in the paper about how lots of Californians are moving from CA to states like Wyoming, Montana, etc and are impacting the political scene. It is surely clear when you look at this electoral map:
http://www.cnn.com/2008/POLITICS/06/10/electoral.map/index.html
DancesWithPumas #440
Where did you get that? Don’t get into it with those O’bots. I usually tell them that Obama is biracial and it is generally considered to be one of his assets. He is bringing himself down and his opposition is diverse.
Hill4me,
yes the trolls seem to “love” our neighborhood…. that’s why I come here!
#447 Headclunker Yea she did,
I didn’t know CNN was doing a show on her also glad I didn’t but sure I wouldn’t have watched it anyways.
Topic – Small Favor
Too many bots where I live here in the PNW, esp in msm. In one prominent newspaper, ALL of the articles, columns, letters to the editor and even the editorial cartoon today were incredibly biased; each and every one, either flailing away at Palin or crying foul about how bad, awful-bad, the Republican ticket is (Garrison Keiler’s column http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/columnists/chi-oped0910keillorsep10,0,7101227.column) (“in politics we bring forth phonies and love them to death”).
With that in mind, could, would a few of you please help me out by sending an email w/ whatever quick & dirty message you have on-hand (don’t go to any extra trouble for this) about either the media’s continual bias for a Obama-the-unelectable, or about the strength of the McCain / Palin ticket?
Oh, & please in your message do state you were “considering” advertising with them, “but since viewing the stories in your editorial section on Sunday,” decided against it!
Here’s the email addy’s you can BCC your email to:

gail.whiting@registerguard.com
curtis.diama@registerguard.com

Thanks a bunch!

Hi Headclunker,
I’m all with you on holding the delegates accountable.
Hope we undertake that as one of our very near & dear tasks.
(((Headclunker!)))
hillstheone – sounds from your post that you’re already well on your way to a letter. if you want to write a draft and post, i’d be happy to look at it and edit/comment. i gotta go eat, but will check back. if you do post a letter, make sure you type a heading that’s easy to find.

I agree, I want the delegates to wonder if they will get our support in Nov. when we did not get theirs in Denver.
Here is the website mentioned by Sherri on blogtalk radio for original delegate allocations.

Subject: Guess Who I Am?
I am under 45 years old,
I love the outdoors,
I hunt,
I am a Republican reformer,
I have taken on the Republican Party establishment,
I have many children,
I have a spot on the national ticket as vice president with less
than two years in the governor’s office.
Did you guess?
I am Teddy Roosevelt in 1900.
Hmmm, so Sarah Palin is not qualified but Obama is?
I don’t think so!
Amazing tonight on 60 minutes – CBS interviewed Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia – they even dug us his grade school report cards – now why can’t they do that for Nobama – was he hatched from an egg or just evolved – it makes no sense that records can not be found anywhere on him.

Sure. The URL that teh guest recited was a dead link. Your’s is working. Thanks!
hillstheone – gotta go eat, but quicly skimmed garrison’s piece in the link you provided. here are a couple of things that jumped out at me at first glance. the excerpts from the article are in quotation marks. my commentary is below. don’t know if you want to work with any of that. if you do, make sure you reference quotes, writer, publication, etc in your letter.
- – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - -
“And if you question her qualifications to be the leader of the free world, you are an elitist.”
And if you question Obama’s qualifications, you’re a racist.
“When you check the actuarial tables on a 72-year-old guy who’s had three bouts with cancer, you guess you may be looking at the first woman president, a hustling evangelical with ethics issues and a chip on her shoulder who, not counting Canada, has set foot outside the country once—a trip to Germany, Iraq and Kuwait in 2007 to visit Alaskans in the armed services. And who listed a refueling stop in Ireland as a fourth country visited. She’s like the Current Occupant but with big hair. If you want inexperience, there were better choices.”
Could anyone imagine replacing “hustling evangelical” with “religious Jew” for one example. Of course not! As for international experience, where was Obama’s? And, is the better choice for inexperience Obama?

It’s been an observation of mine over the course of my lifetime, that usually the person accusing someone of being a racist is the one who really IS racist. They try to use somekind of perverse reverse psychology or something. Proof is how mad they get when you call them on it.

BillieJo was contributing a link… not asking for one.
hillstheone – one more quick thing. unfortunately, because palin is pretty much an unknown, mc cain took a huge chance because of course the press was going to vet her, but because the election is looming so close, there’s no room for error, no room to recover what whatever the press digs up on her. no way around that problem. BUT, you could go back and do a bit of research re: how well the press vetted obama (NOT) and compare what they doing now (which is, in fact, their job) to what they did not do with obama, where they fell down on the job. ok. gotta eat —

PumaPal, YES! I am supposed to get in touch with you. I have been very busy at work and what my friends refer to as my “part time” job: Pumas – had to go on the back burner last week. I will contact you tomorrow.
Dances With Pumas, by Magnolia House do you mean the Puma Headquarters in Denver? If so, yes.
By the way, I went to your website and posted there too. No one was there either so I guess I was talking to myself here and there.:grin:

Great article. I was talking to you at the other site until I figured out I was talking to myself
I knew he was supporting McCain but never heard his views. He has a good head on his shoulders. Too bad most celebrities don’t.
Any late night prowl tonight ? When Murphy is catching zzz’s we can do our own late night prowl.
Anyone game to toss out any issues close to your heart ? I am ready and willing to prowl
I just caught up with you here. I’m tired from running all over.

LaureyPuma …feel free to contact me whenever you have the time. I am up to my eyebrows at work, so there are times I am not so responsive as I should be. Also, I don’t always check my personal email as regularly as I should. Bad PumaPal!

How are your folks doing after Ike. I saw on the news that people have no water and ice, were they well stocked up for supplies? Do they need anything? Do they still have power?
#492 freddiebrown,
I tried to set up a mass telephone calling prowl earlier with the website owner of high heels but never got an answer. She has some info that I needed to set it up. I will share the info if I ever get an answer.

No, I didn’t have a chance. I think it is Mass. that is voting in a couple of days and was trying to get some info.

We did one yesterday with boycotting The View and their advertisement.

I had thegreenpapaers link at the Action Center, and it takes you to the actual delegate count (17 delegate difference), then it shows the floor vote. I can barely look at it anymore. Makes me feel ill.
Your link is more targetted.
#597 slyt2:
I couldnt’ make this stuff up. In all fairness regarding “Obama’s plan for america” it is the same principle as John Kerry and the “Kerry/Edwards plan for America” which i bought a copy of in 2004 to read and try to relay to voters what in the hell the message was in 2004.
Do you need help? There are alot of people here who seem really anxious to do something.
We need one every night no ?
A late night prowl – that’s what PUMA’s do.
Since we can’t call , we can send emails… use the BCC!
Its easy.
We can make it simple, just copy and paste damning information… anything. The press does not necessarily know everything. PUMA’s on the other hand are so good at digging and sharing info.
#511 Cassie,
Are you talking to me or Freddie?
#508 Cassie what we did it yesterday, how did I miss that??? I remember friday writing the letters to view and I remember friday nite looking up their advertisers but when did we boycott the advertisers, how did I miss that
This is a snip from an “email” being floated from the BHO camp (supposedly)…has anyone seen it before?
“Finally, someone asked about the gorked-out kid. Until two/three weeks before she hatched it in April in the middle of the legislative session, no one knew that Sarah was pregnant. Those of you who have been pregnant can decide how odd that was. It was so odd that it provoked a swirl of speculation that the kid actually is Bristol’s, Sarah’s seventeen-year-old daughter. But those rumors went as quickly as they came. If the kid is Sarah’s, she told the press that she knew from the get-go that it was gorked-out with Down syndrome but, being a Bible-thumbing right-to-lifer, she decided that God wanted her to have it. That story, which as I type is ripping through the evangelical hard-right, will energize the Republican base to McCain’s advantage in a way that McCain never could have himself.”
Because I haven’t seen the actual email, I’m wondering if it’s “true” before I send a complaint to FoxNews… if it is, it’s disgraceful…why would ANYONE refer to a baby as “gorked-out”!
Here is one for the late night prowl, Freddie Brown:
I have been bothering NOW and Emily’s list for a few days. I have been sending them emails voicing my displeasure at their goal of pursuading 6 million women to vote for Obama, using reproductive freedom as a weapon. They also have the audacity to refer to NoBo as “pro-women”. Please everyone, write them and give them your view on Bo’s pro-woman stance.
BTW, I also add a link to Marcia Pappas (of Now NYC) story entitled WOMEN WHO LOVE THEIR PARTY TOO MUCH.
Tx- I’m sorry I meant you.
slyt2- I’m sorry again too. I swear I don’t know what day it is anymore. I don’t think I left my computer. Took a shower her too.
#502 Cassie
No, I’m not close. I have family in Ft. Worth and would have volunteered them to run some stuff down.
Do we have any Pumas from Mass. here? If so do you know anything about them having an election on Tues? From what I heard through the grapevine is that we need to promote an O’Reilly vote there. I tried to get more info today but was unable to get any. It sounds like something that we need to do right away.
Cassie,
Do you know anything about the Mass. vote? Is that where John Kerry is running for re election?
goofsman
That is very kind of you but no need to. I think they’ll do fine.
Cassie,
I got information from another puma by telephone but it was a bad connection and I couldn’t get all of the details.
texas
Yes. I’ll try to look up more info for you.
#516 LaureyPuma Interesting, I doubt that Emily’s list and NOW oe MS magazine have 6 million women who will listen to them. I think they have pretty well discredited themselves when it comes to women’s issues. FYI I am on their mailing lists because I have given them money in the past and I am fed up with them and will not give them anything in the future. I am sure I am far from alone.

Thanks. If it is a chance to get Kerry out of office I would love to help if I can.
Im on for a prowl,I read in a post earlier that national enquire was going after palin children this week,maybe we can stop them before they start by a quick email?
Sorry. On down tix race post, didn’t seperate the Kay Hagan info from the Kerry/O’Reily race info. Sorry – it all blurs together…

VAKatforPalin that is how they talk in there and even worse.
I was listening to Meet the Press and they had mayor Gulianni on asking him about McCain/Palin. He said that the investigation against Palin in Alaska is far from non partisan because three Alaska congressmen who are devout BO followers are behind it and have vowed to take Palin down for their all great leader. So apparently the Republicans have this in their sights and are ready to pounce.
Is anyone else getting paranoid?
It just occured to me that we could all be being played somehow. I guess it doesn’t matter, really. I am doing what I would have done alone, at least ion terms of how I will probably be voting.
Okay. Just disregard this comment.
I’m tired.
#528 Anna7000,
Thanks for trying. I’m afraid by the time I get info it will be too late to do anything. I guess some states are having early elections but I don’t know where to find the information. It would be nice to get some of the corrupt leaders that are up for re election out of office such as Kerry, Reid, Pelosi, etc.

#527 tennaseepuma On saw her on the cover of National Enquirer but didn’t have time to look through it but the cover said something about dark secrets or something.
#529 Anna7000 ,
Great!!! You found it. Anybody have any suggestions on how we can do a fast prowl on this tomorrow? Or do you think it is too late?

#537 Anna7000 ,
I’m not very good at thinking up prowls but I thought maybe we could email or call somebody to urge then to vote for O’reilly?
#537 Anna7000 ,,
I know that Murphy was talking about ways to get rid of some of these people. I wish I would have heard about this earlier but just heard it today.
538 tennaseepuma sadly you couldn’t stop that trash rag if you wanted to . Stars with nothing but money have tried to sue them stop things from being printed to no end. It doesn’t work these people print what they want and don’t care. I saw for 3 weeks straight made up stories about Hillary and some woman .. I read about BO and some girlfriend and Michelle found the love notes. It doesn’t stop and it won’t…
For anyone interested i read the article and it sounds like someone may be jealous of the Palin Kids. They cant come up with any thing about her so they are talking again about the two oldest in this article..to me teenagers are a rare breed. turn 18 and its party city. you might think they were the only kids to stretch their wings………imho

Another reason why we must stop Obama.
texassherry – you could always take the initiative to call the contact person listed in the post and see how people might be able to help who don’t live in MA. since it sounds like the election is this tuesday, i doubt there’s much to do, though they may be engaged in a last big phone push tomorrow. plus, i’m sure they’ll gladly accept donations. other than that, can’t imagine how else you could help, but those would be meaningful ways and the woman you speak to could tell you first hand.
#538 tennaseepuma
The National enquirer is quoting highschool friends of Track and Bristol. What absolute and utter crap!!
Great sourcing by their reporters…
Another way to look at it is, well, this was the best they could turn up.
That is true Sly2.

I’m sorry, what am I missing? Why is it that you want John Kerry out of office?

We should have done something earlier. I’m not saying we can’t try but it would be difficult.
goofsmom I totally agree.
#544 Anna7000,
Thanks. I guess I will call tomorrow and ask. I don’t have any money and it is too late to have a fund drive but maybe something else to help. Wish I had a mass email list from Mass and I could send emails asking them to vote for O’reily.

sorry, i was eating dinner
“American Thinker” http://www.americanthinker.com
This is another very conservative magazine. I was looking for information about Obama time at Columbia and found an article that does not give answers but explains why the question needs to be asked.
I don’t know this magazine/website … Who is beind it, etc. … but if you have information about the what happened at the Democratic convention, I’ll bet that they would be interested.
I am simply not up to speed on the specifics as are a number of the Pumas … for the reasons I have stated in my previous posts, I am not a Democratic Party insider and not so familiar with how the convention worked.
cassie – your post is kind and heartbreaking. i think it’s safe to assume this grassroots movement is relatively small (in terms of active members), has precious few dollars and is spread incredibly thin. i wouldn’t spend too much time feeling regret. we’re just trying to cover way too many bases with very little resources and very little time.
#548 Bluejay,
He was one of the ones that was not supporting Hillary. I believe that Murphy wanted to replace those that were supporting Obama. I think he was one of those super delegates.
PumaPal – I stumbled upon American Thinker this year trying to save my sanity during the primaries. It’s an extremely conservative publication. I think there is some interest about what happened at the convention, though for the most part their agenda is more about Republican/conservative issues and not doing our dirty work for us. However, they have been very very very anti-Obama, not that they loved Clinton. But, for the most part, they were printing anti-Obama stuff on a daily basis all year, with just a little about Clinton. I am sometimes in contact with one of their regular writers and do pass information along to her that I think might aid her research, including stuff about caucus fraud, etc.

#549 Cassie,
You are probably right. I have just been focusing on getting rid of Obama and haven’t been working on down ticket dems. I just thought if we could rid a couple of them then maybe it would scare the others and let them know we were serious.
#558 Blue Blue Gal ,
Yeah, I got that one too but never any details. That group must have broken up.

sweet puma dreams
Millions of us will vote John McCain as a PROTEST against the DNC and the Obama Movement. Millions will vote 3rd Party or leave the top spot BLANK.
Guys, is BLANK really safe? The bots will probably be counting the votes. If it’s blank, they could fill it in as they want to. If it’s write-in, they might mess that up.
Imo the only really safe thing to do is vote for someone named on the ballot. Third party also sends a clearer message. I plan to vote Green to show that some liberals oppose Obama (unless my state is so close that McCain actually needs my vote).

TODAY’S EMAIL FROM OBAMA
Friend —
There’s so much at stake in this election — fixing our economy, solving the energy crisis, dealing with climate change, and restoring America’s position in the world.
You and I know that. But John McCain is trying to distract voters from the real issues. And he’s willing to take the low road by making cheap personal attacks and lying outright about Barack and his record.
It’s up to each of us to talk to voters across the country and make sure they know what this election is really about.
We have an exciting new tool called Neighbor to Neighbor that makes it easy to talk to potential supporters about Barack and the issues that matter.
Help get the conversation back on track today by making phone calls.
Nothing is more powerful than having undecided voters hear from ordinary people. And right now, that’s needed more than ever.
No prior experience is required. Neighbor to Neighbor gives you a list of potential supporters, suggested topics to talk about, and an easy way to report back on who you’ve contacted.
With less than eight weeks until Election Day, we can’t allow voters to lose focus on the big issues and get swept up by the smears and lies coming out of the McCain campaign.
Reach out to fellow voters now and grow this movement for change:

Jon

#568 Cassie,
Since I heard about this from another puma site I will look at some other sites tomorrow and see if someone is doing anything on this and if we can help. I wish all of the pumas had a central location on the internet with information about what everyone was doing so we could work together but I guess that would make it easier for bots too.
I had wondered about that too. Why not have everyone in one place but I guess you are right. If you get any info, let me know.
Sorry if this video has been posted already. Goofsdad found it on Riverdaughters site.
It’s worth watching again!
http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=Y1ajJYkMd74&eurl
#569 Bluejay,
Thanks. I guess I will search other puma sites and see if anyone is working on this. Murphy was talking about this a while back and I have heard pumas from other sites talking about it but I am not sure what to do outside of the Nov. vote. Murphy was talking about replacing democrats with other democrats but that would have to be done at the primary stage I think.
#572 Cassie,
Will keep you informed if I find anything. My head is hurting from too much thinking today. I am going to go back to the other site until bedtime.
Good nite y’all. Sweet dreams.
RE: CONVERSATION ABOUT DOWN TIX
I think that to change the party, two basic things have to happen:
1. Boot out those in power who are corrupt.
2. Elect others to office who seem like they will operate more in accordance with your values. (For some, that means working within the party to make changes.)
It’s a long, slow process and isn’t something that happens overnight. It will take work over the long haul. Perhaps there will even be some PUMAs who will decide to jump in, run for school board, city council, etc.
Meanwhile, we just have to prioritize for this upcoming election and go from there.
My 2 cents.
Here’s an article from Alaska’s Juneaue Empire Newspaper in which Stevens, a republican senator up for reelection, expects Palin to help in Novemeber, “unless something unforseen happens”. Since he is obviously aware of TaserGate, this is a good indicator that its impact on the election is being discounted. This is good news.

TODAY’S EMAIL FROM OBAMA
**** Scarlet **** I’ve never been to Obama’s website but I will register just to see what material we can use.
As you all know, Obama’s campaign is very focused on grassroots – one on one talking to your neighbor. Come to think of it, it sounds very much like our prowls… don’t you guys think ?
“This campaign is built on the belief that everyday Americans, when organized and focused, can change their country.
When you log in you’ll see that we’ve prepared all the resources that you need, including:
A list of voters in your neighborhood who we need to reach out to
A script you can use in your conversations
A customized flyer you can distribute
Easy interfaces to report back the results of your efforts to the campaign
Support and training to answer any questions along the way”
godzilla..
the polls are a good barometer as to the effectiveness of the pailn smear campaign..
if mccain can sustain or increase his lead it will show that obamas slimers are not convincing the american people..that they dont believe the lies..
Pumas: I just got through watching some more ads on tv where they have made up Sarah Palin. I am so tired of them doing her that way! I think since they are female bashing her, someone needs to make up an ad about Michelle Nobama and let the Nobama campaign see how it feels! What’s fair for one campaign is fair for the other!!
people that like governor palin after seeing her and knowing her better will reject the slimers..her job is to get people to like her and I think shes so attractive and authentic that most people will like her
scarlettpuma – in all fairness, palin is running for vp. michelle obama is the spouse of a candidate. in any case, how about taking notes when you watch and then contacting the station and pointing out your concerns? you might also get involved with the women’s media center. they track how women are portrayed in the media and speak out against sexism (though i felt they could have been more vocal regarding clinton’s treatment).

Evening all, Had a nice debate in the middle of my store today with a member of operation Chaos.
Made the mistake of saying if it wasn’t for them Hillary would not have won what she did.
There was a “O’ supporter listening in.
Oh the sparks did fly.
I decided after last time I was on here to be more vocal. Profits be damned
#562 turndownobama I agree leaving the top of the ballot blank is not safe and especially if you live in Washington State where dead people vote and however many votes are need to put Democrats in office magically appear in the Seattle court house basement weeks after the election in sealed ballot boxes. You must vote and you must punch something besides BO on your ballot. I’m voting McCAin but Nader is a good guy or I am sure there are others. BUT DON’T LEAVE IT BLANK IN THE PRESIDENT LINE.
#340 Missy,
I think you are on to something, contact the Talking Heads in the Republican Party, yee-haw!!!
Or should I say, ROARl!!!
godzilla
I doubt Sara Palin will endorse Stevens. He was the one who wanted the bridge to nowhere. He’s very corrupt and was recently charged of it a few months ago.
Here’s something that won’t be mentioned in the MSM:
Job Approval for Gov. Palin: 86%
Among Independents: 86%
Among Democrats: 75%
Source: American Viewpoint Poll
I’ve been looking at the pols. Does anyone else think its strange we keep having these wide swings?
I just got this from a group that is attacking McCain. There is a method to their Palin Bashing. They intend to bash her until she has no credibility, and follow through with an attack on McCain for his age and health. Please be aware that this is the planned one-two punch.
Just look at this:
1. Watch the video
2. Sign the open letter
Dear Henerietta,
The state of John McCain’s health is an issue of grave concern for all Americans, regardless of political persuasion. Given the fact that he has been treated for an invasive melanoma and other maladies, it is important that he release his full health records.
For a very brief three hours in May, McCain released 1,173 pages of his medical records to a carefully selected group of reporters. They were not allowed to make any copies or phone calls. Why such secrecy?
We have enlisted a group of doctors from around the country to lead the effort to make sure the public is able to see and make judgments for themselves. Secrecy is not of service to our democracy, transparency is. Please have other doctors sign the open letter.
Watch the video and sign the open letter.
Cancer is a serious issue. That’s why 30 medical doctors have already signed our open letter telling McCain to issue a full, public disclosure of all his medical records. Send this video far and wide to request that McCain release his full health records. Ask every medical doctor you know to sign onto the letter, and don’t forget to sign the letter yourself! McCain’s records must be made public and soon.
While McCain doesn’t really care about our health care, we all should care about the health of McCain.
Yours,
Robert Greenwald

591 Henerietta,
Seems we shuld counter wiht demanding ALL of “O”s records be made public. Transparency, thats the ticket.
yeesh I really need to proof those posts. lol
snowtiger – what wide swings? to me, the polls look pretty tight, with predicted movement around the conventions.
henrietta… thats the obama game plan- to keep hammering on governor palin with non stop volleys of disinformation and lies to discredit her..
goebbbels..hitlers chief propoganda minister once said..”tell a lie long enough and keep repeating it and eventually people will beileve you”
thats what this obama smear campaign is all about
#590 snowtiger
goofsdad said that the difference in the poll numbers maybe if they polled the registered voters or likely voters.
Likely voters means they voted in the last election and registered means well, they are registered not whether or not they voted.
This makes a big difference in the true outcome of an election.
Don’t know if that helped or if you already knew that. Just my 2 cents.
#585 snowtiger
What exactly did happen?
Tell me. Tell me.
I thought the polls have been pretty steady. Alot of the swing states seems to be going towards JM.
http://www.gallup.com/poll/107674/Interactive-Graph-Follow-General-Election.aspx
These swings Anna. Seems kinda strange to me that so many people can be undecided and move back and forth.
I think the McCain campaign needs to know this is happening. Maybe we should contact them. Of course they may already know.
I, too, would like to see Obama’s records. Most particularly, I would like to see a drug screen, including a hair sample, to see if he is a cocaine user. Maybe that would be the appropriate response to this?
Out of respect for the millions who died at the hands of Hitler, I think it prudent to take care how his name is thrown around. I know concentration camp survivors. Most do not support Obama, nor do they feel comparisons to Hitler are reasonable. It only reveals a lack of true awareness of what Hitler did to toss his name out in a provocative fashion. Take care.
No need to invoke his name anyway, since the nature of politics has always involved lying. Both parties do it. Candidates do it. It may not be right, but it’s become part and parcel of how it works.

“Is anyone else getting paranoid?
It just occured to me that we could all be being played somehow,”
Hi Dances,
Well yeah of course. We’re getting played by KARL ROVE because he helped the DNC put Obama in the game instead of Hillary.
But our bigger betrayal by far was done to us not by the GOP but by our OWN Party.
That is why this election calls for more showers than ever – everywhere we turn there is toxic corruption we need to continually wash it off our PUMA fur.
But our own Party’s principles are not being upheld. We are staring down the enemy (DNC) PUMA style, and while we may be outnumbered remember one PUMA can take down a lot of enemies…
No wonder y(our) tired.
I see how they understand the voter: We can tolerate them picking on a woman, after all if she cries foul, they call her a whiner and say she wants special treatment. But attack O and you are racist, after all, there is not one possible reason you would attack such a perfect person on substance, is there? So it has to be racism.
Hello all –
Regarding NObama’s $66mil – this piece from a UK newspaper implies that he’s actually running low on money
“team Obama are lagging behind with some insiders stating the party has just $13m in the bank compared to an estimated Republican war chest of $100m.”

henerietta.. i cant believe the mccain campaign will just sit by idly and let obama run away with the election by smearing palin.surely thay have a plan to fight back..
I have the feeling they have some ammuntition of their own but are holding thier fire until the right time comes..

I am with you 100%. What I find troubling some people say they would leave the top blank, for me, that is defeatism; don’t want to take responsibility, non-committal, fence sitter. That doesn’t bode well if changing the system is the main objective. Hillary was my first choice, she’s a brilliant woman and a policy wonk, she knows how to solve the problems of our country. What I find attractive about Hillary and why I support her, her mind is something to behold, her devotion for the common good and not afraid to voice out her opinion even when the State Department told her not to say anything about Human Rights when she was in Beijing. My vote will go to McCain, at least with McCain I know what I am getting into, a plus on his side, his VP is also like him a reformist, a maverick. Washington is corrupt to the bone, billions of dollars annually in wasteful spending. If we allow these people to do our household monthly budget, we would be heavily in debt.

sheesh Cassie, This republican started in on Hillary for no real reason I could fathom. Saying she was essentially a has been now. That started it it. I started in as to how she won more popular votes and countered with operation chaos which he was a part of, I laughed and said it was the only time Rush did something good for the country, getting votes for Hillary and we took off from there.
I went inot the mistreatment, Hillarys accomplishments, the corruption in the odnc etc. He went on about how Hillary was only a senator cause of Bill and his cigar etc. Got pretty heated.
An “o’ supporter just looked at us, particularly when I mentioned PUMA and shook her head as she walked out of my store.
A the end though we wished each other luck in our pursuits.
We need to start a prowl on Obama’s whereabouts from 1985 to 1988. Some researchers think he may have been out of the country during that time, or even in some drug rehab place. According to Andy Martin, a journalist from the Chicago area, he can find no address or other evidence of Obama’s hereabouts during that time. Does anyone have that information?
snowtiger – no way to know if the swings you see on the graph are normal or unusual without comparing the graph to prior elections.

#474 Alice1943 on 09.14.08 at 10:26 pm It’s been an observation of mine over the course of my lifetime, that usually the person accusing someone of being a racist is the one who really IS racist. They try to use somekind of perverse reverse psychology or something. Proof is how mad they get when you call them on it.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
This is a well known Spiritual Truth. It is a projection of inner guilt out onto another person. The person projecting out his inner guilt usually believes the other person is guilty and they are innocent. It is done to try to smooth over the inner guilt by finding guilt in another person. But once we accept that we are all ONE. then obviously we are only looking at ourself. And guilt of another must be guilt of the self because we are ONE with the other.
The problem is solved when we completely let go of the ego. The first step in healing our inner self of this problem is to realize that the other person did not do what it is that I think he did. Therefore forgiveness is so complete because there is nothing to forgive since he did not do what it is that I thought he did.
This is always true.
It is impossible to judge another person because we are always judging ourself. Once we accept that then we can no longer accept anyone juding ourself. Because as the other criticizes us we hear him judging himself. It is really very revealing.
When Obambie attacks Palin or anyone else he is attacking himself and telling the world what he personally feels guilty about in himself. Very revealing.
I highly recommend that you accept that your judgement of others is simply judgement of your self and then you will have a spiritual awakening that others peoples judgement of you is simply a revelation of the attackers inner self and has nothing to do with the person attacked who in this case is ourself.
It is great freedom when you reach the state that no one can judge you. IMPOSSIBLE.
#599 goofsmom
OH the polls will change the closer we get to the election as the emphasis shifts from “voters” to “likely to vote’. that much I knew.
I just have an odd feeling about the “undecided” that must be answering one way today and another tomorrow. Maybe I’m just getting paranoid.
Night Anna.
I agree, they surely know that the Obamaites will attack Palin with everything they have. I think this is why McCain was so smart in waiting to the last minute. Of course, Obama kind of forced him to do that, because Obama didn’t announce his running mate until the last minute either. But Palin’s name was kept entirely secret for so long, in an attempt to not have her ‘Hillaried’ by the Obamites and the msm, if there is even a difference in the two (o&msm).
It was interesting reading your September 3rd liveblogging post of Sarah Palin’s convention speech. That must seem like a long time ago now, but I was curious as to what effect it had on all the members here. I had been so apolitical prior to August 29 that I didn’t even know what a PUMA was. I didn’t watch any of the DNC convention, and wasn’t expecting to watch GOP convention either. Hadn’t watched any of the debates, either party. Sarah Palin changed that in a heartbeat. It’s funny, but people have a hard time explaining why they like her. Dozen’s of times you hear, “She just so real. She’s like me.” and so on. Personally, I attribute this to a failure of philosophy and the demise of a “classical liberal” education. The qualities that Sarah Palin embodies have never been defined absolutely: Beauty, Virtue, Goodness. Socrates tried, Plato tried, but they failed. We still can’t define these concepts absolutely, but we can recognize them when we see them demonstrated. I trully don’t know how a woman like Sarah Palin can even be. Not in this day and age. I’m in awe.
Needless to say, I’m no longer apolitical LOL!
snow..one thing ive noticed about obama supporters..thay have a snottty holier than thou attitude about supporting obama..
i think there is so much white guilt going on there the BS is piled high with hypocrisy and phony sanctimonius breast beating..”look at me im so good and righteous now..im voting for a black man”

I just know there are some busy moms lurking tonight, just wanted to share that I rarely eat meat but love to cook and sometimes do make a nice pulled pork dish in the crockpot.

Anyway, it’s easy to make, look for McCormicks pulled pork recipe on the back of the spice packet. Makes great pulled pork sandwiches for the baby puma’s, serve with a nice salad and dinner is done.
OK now everyone hates me I’m outta here! Just call it my irreverent post for the week.
Several days back there was a prowl to become an election observer. I found these links

When I was a child, my mom taught me that to accuse someone without good cause would always indicate what my darkest thoughts were. To say that someone intended some result or was motivated by some bad thought or plan, was to see what you might do in a similar situation. Thoughts are private, to suggest, without some strong evidence that someone is racist, or jealous, or some other motivator, is a reflection fo the accuser as much or more than the accused.
Mom called it measuring another person’s corn in your half bushel.

Osaka you may be right. I wouldn’t know. All the people I know have no white guilt but, none are racists either.
I think “white guilt” gooes with Gohillsrygo s post above.
I was a t my friends wedding last week. He, anglo saxon , she Fillipina/black (funny thing she was born o military base in Japan. I told her that she had a typical Japanese ancestory
This whole “white guilt” thing has always amazed me.

well hills, keep this in mind. As I once told a particularly vile piece of crap. “Put yourself as far above me as you like. Just remember that sharks attack from below.”

TODAY’S EMAIL FROM OBAMA
Friend —
There’s so much at stake in this election — fixing our economy, solving the energy crisis, dealing with climate change, and restoring America’s position in the world.
You and I know that. But John McCain is trying to distract voters from the real issues. And he’s willing to take the low road by making cheap personal attacks and lying outright about Barack and his record.
It’s up to each of us to talk to voters across the country and make sure they know what this election is really about.
We have an exciting new tool called Neighbor to Neighbor that makes it easy to talk to potential supporters about Barack and the issues that matter.
Help get the conversation back on track today by making phone calls.
Nothing is more powerful than having undecided voters hear from ordinary people. And right now, that’s needed more than ever.
No prior experience is required. Neighbor to Neighbor gives you a list of potential supporters, suggested topics to talk about, and an easy way to report back on who you’ve contacted.
Reach out to fellow voters now and grow this movement for change:

I can’t get my head around it when some people say they’d leave the top blank. To me that is flirting with disaster, it shows lack of conviction. When you’re in the trenches (that’s how I look at us against corrupt DNC and Democratic Party), there’s no such thing as “grey area”, either you’re all in or all out.
We have a saying in Alaska for mushers (Iditarod); “Either lead, follow, or get the hell out of the way.”
osaka puma
I don’t believe Karl Rove is helping the McCain camp out. I heard that McCain was really angry when Rove gave a call to Jo Lieberman to turn down VP. But I agree that they are not stupid and that something will come out soon.

My concern is this: what can we expect from BO having the power of the executive branch , given his organization’s fraud & intimidation, his willingness to buy friends and obliterate legitimate opposition, magnified by the complete lack of pushback from the MSM.
cassie.. karl rove is a scoundrel no doubt..but on the other hand he was right to persuade lieberman to turn down VP..

Hillary, Biden VP Switch Imminent
Let me share some info with you that i have gotten from excellent sources within the DNC:
On or about October 5th, Biden will excuse himself from the ticket, citing health problems, and he will be replaced by Hillary. This is timed to occur after the VP debate on 10/2.
http://camp2008victorya.blogspot.com/
hey billiejo
hi billi joe.. what do you think about that switch?
you think theres something to that?
#651 Billiejo

Oh God, I’m not alone. This happens to me every time I am searching, find something and have no one to share it with.

maybe we can frame this obama manipulation to get hillary on board as an ADMISSION of his failure and poor judgement..also portray it for what it is.. obama throwing another friend under the bus!!
#33 girlsrule I know it was a long time ago that you posted but, in case you are lurking…welcome! It sounds like we are on the same page and you are right, it’s not about party this year it’s PEOPLE for this country and its democracy. Glad to have you.
billi jo..maybe that obama meeting with bill is connected to this information..
Read this……….
Thus, they despise Sarah Palin because she threatens their livelihoods. So, look for a growing number of calls for Obama to: (1) “get tougher” — to sling more mud and be more negative than he already is; (2) get rid of Biden and replace him with Senator Clinton (or perhaps even someone else).
I hope all the thousands of bloggers and other onliners who are supporting McCain-Palin will highlight the “Hillary” story. That’s exactly what Obama, Axelrod, Brazille, and Dean don’t want you to do. Continued discussion will shed light on developments the Obama Campaign would rather spring on Americans at the last moment. Note: If you start hearing more stories, as we did last week, of Senator Biden’s “health issues” (in actuality, he really doesn’t have any), you will know the time is drawing nigh for Joe to exit Left.
If Hillary let’s the DNC and Nobama do this to her then I hope all these people that detest her so much all go over to John McCain I have never in all my life seen such garbage as this campaign they will stop at nothing to get control. I still won’t vote for this unqualified, inexperienced , boy scout.

I still won’t vote for this unqualified, inexperienced , boy scout.

Even if they put Hillary at the last minute as VP of NObama, I will not vote for him! NObama and DNC are definitely playing with the American people, they’re treating voters like a bunch of kids in nursery school.
#662 osaka puma
billi jo..maybe that obama meeting with bill is connected to this information..
————-
This is what makes this all make sense for me, when I watched the tape of Bill with asshole, Bill looked like he was trying to hide a big smile and he certainly wasn’t mad. He only glanced at the jerk once and it was apparent Bill was in control not Obie.
I have also heard that down ticket dems are really freaked out that they will be out of a job if the One does not win, the money is not rolling in, obie is freaking. I am sure obie would not ask Hillary unless he was really sure he can’t win without her. Maybe they are putting off making this switch (if it’s true) until Oct 5th to see if obie goes up in the polls. We can watch to see the polls and obie should start unraveling around Oct 1st if the polls for him are still below McPalin’s.
#659 Billiejo
if it is factual, the only reason “O” would bring Hillary on the ticket would be because he is desparate. I hope she won’t take it as he would take her down with him if he losses.
BTW, I find that quite insulting to the intelligence of EVERY voters. I hope Hillary will not allow herself to be use by DNC and NObama like a kitchen rag that can be thrown in the corner anytime NObama pleases and pick up again and put to work!
I swear! If Hillary do this, I will send a letter to her campaign office to REFUND my campaign contribution in full, I’ll tell my friends who contributed to her campaign to do the same.
billi jo..
we need to do what the author suggests..talk about this story and spread it around publicly to as many places as is possible..

————
Here’s another thought I have had on this situation, the Biden, his son and Larry Sinclair situation. I read something somewhere that obie’s offering Biden the VP job was pay-back for making Larry ‘go away’. Maybe Biden himself doesn’t like being offered VP on a dirty deal. Maybe that’s why he said the nice things about Hillary, maybe that is what he really wants?
666Billiejo they have made a mockery of our constitution so they might as well kick Joe out and do what they want our laws mean nothing to them they are so in the hole since McCain chose Palin they are grasping at straws I sure hope Hillary has the intestinal fortitude to say NO! I do not like to be this angry but I am
I had this dream the other night that I had been sent DNC credentials but I didn’t know it until I got back in town. I woke up screaming at my party chairman saying “you knew I was out of town, why didn’t you call me” “I would have stood on the floor until she was the nominee”
God I was pissed all day and it wasn’t even real.
Damn, this election.
God I pray Hillary doesn’t get into obamas game..
It looks like it could be a rumor,but then again there are always surprises in october….any thing is possible,but I will not put Obama in the white house with anyone……
Osaka:
good grief, who knows. I’m so confused over all of the crap. I’m soo disappointed that this is the outcome after 8 years of the B.s.
dem4.. i’ve been pissed off since the primaries..
my god, if H ends up on the ticket, I personally will be picketing up one side of the local Obama headquarters and down the other side.
If this happens, if…………. I will not blame Hillary. I will blame the DNC and Obama. If it happens, everyone will see how very, very weak Obama really is. He couldn’t win this on his own.
Another thing to remember, if this is true and obie was talking to the Big Dog, you KNOW Bill would make sure the deal was for more for Hillary than just a symbolic VP spot. They would have obie by the ‘ears’ and would be asking for much more for Hillary. Queen of Universal Health Care, or possibly something powerful and not VP at all, possibly something like Sec of State?
well I have taken a muscle relaxer for my back and I feel stoned so I better sign off

The DNC are the ones to blame they fell in love with Nobama on the first date they should be brought up on treason charges for what they have done or are trying to do to our country.
Actually I posted last week(based on nothing but a hunch ) that Biden may be tossed out and Hillary brought in. It’s apparent that Biden has been very low key and almost absent from any news bites. It does seem that the boss is not so hot about Biden since Palin came on the scene. It is very obvious when you add 2 + 2 together. Who would he put to counter Palin – of course another woman , Hillary !! Listen to how he is saying that Hillary is probably the better VP pick. He knows he is being thrown off the bus soon enough. I read yesterday that his “entourage” is one photographer and two reporters. Compare that to Palin ?? Night and Day.

Well, at least they are not an obie supporter.
How did you figure that out?
Was going back thru old posts to see how long the blog had been active,and he posted his email address on one of the blogs and I recognized the name.
Billie Jo – I havent connected the dots about Biden helping his son to silence Larry Sinclair – I didn’t keep up with that except that no one is talking about Larry Sinclair anymore. One thing I can tell you, the only person in the DNC I can trust, is Hillary. If you look past her blind support of Obama, she is pretty decent.
Anyway, I threw out my hunch last week and asked PUMAs if they would vote for Hillary is they threw her the VP bone. It caused quite a stir and I had to tell people to stop as I didn’t want them to go off focus on a hunch. Apparently even the daytime PUMAs will not vote for Obama if he picks Hillary.
y’all are going to hate what I’m going to say given the “sexist” nature of it… But, I honestly hope, I really do, I honestly hope that if this really is an issue or possibility that Bill would protect her. Why do I say that? It’s not because she can’t see or can’t make her own decisions but really he has nothing to lose at this point. He is her biggest advocate. She has been by his side for 30 years. He owes it to her to literally take her out of the limelight, in that situation and have a private meeting with her and their advisors at a private location, possibly out of the country. When I say advisors I mean at most himself, Hillary, Terry McAuliffe, Harold Iches, and Madeline Albright. They have GOT to protect her from this machine, I mean it.

dem4.. i dont think thats sexist after all bill is hillarys husband and they do have their own loyalty
Today on ABC’s This Week, the Obama surrogate said that Sarah Palin criticized for whining during the primaries. This was to imply that Palin was only posturing when she spoke admiringly of Hillary during the Gibson interview. Blatant bullshit. This is what Palin actually said:
The Perceived Whine
That’s not criticism, that’s supportive advice. That interview took place when she was still pregnant with Trig. I really believe that Sarah Palin is an admirer of Hillary.
That should have been “criticized Hillary”.
What about this situation………..
The One continues to free fall in the polls, he finally offers VP and Queen of Universal Health Care to Hillary, she accepts knowing that Obie will have to concede the election because of either illegal US birth certificate stuff or fraud in caucuses, or one of the other billions of dirty things he is involved with. Hillary is elected by the DNC to the top of the ticket, and she picks Biden for her VP.
Obama will never concede…….
And with that last thought, I will go to bed with my fantasy of Hillary as the top of the ticket.
One extra thought, when she wins, she gets rid of Howie, Nancy and Donna for corruption and manipulation charges. “The come back kid.”
Amen.
Sweet dreams.
Osaka – I hate to say it but I think Hillary will accept because she is very pro party. What reason could she give for not accepting ? She has to be very careful if she wants to be in politics in future.
I knew way 2 or 3 years ago, that Hillary will be running..you know how… there were pictures of Chelsea and her boyfriend all over the fashion magazines. Every month, different magazines. She would be hosted by Donatella (of Versace) etc and going to fashion week etc . I think Donatella is to be credited for her new look – straightened hair etc. Reports of Chelsea partying with fashion crowd. Then it stopped. Nothing. My hunch then was that Mama Hillary put an end to it. That was what my husband and I were saying. Because Hillary didn’t want this to come back to haunt her when she ran . Sure enough, it happened.
Part of my job is to get a feel of trends – what is going on in fashion . It is not a concrete thing – it is a hunch . You just look and read everything going on around you. Then you will find a certain message coming through. It is also called trendspotting. In this case of course it is not about trends but the same hunch applies.
He has been in dirty politics forever,we watched the primary thinking he could never win,when we had all that trash on him,but look what he did,humiliated hillary rodham clinton in front of the world on nationwide international tv and got away with it? how? how? how?It makes no sense,we saw it and could not stop it?
Osaka – I hate to say it but I think Hillary will accept because she is very pro party.
Nope, Bill puts a stop to it. That’s who…It’s something that happens that we don’t even know happens. I think Biden is in for the long haul.
Bill DID NOT negotiate a VP for Hillary. That did NOT happen. I swear it didn’t.
#182 Slyt2 They removed it. We are going to have to save this kind of information to disk and not just save the links. We are fighting not only the msm but, their billionaire backers that want puppet Obama to win. If it’s bad for Obama then expect that someone may remove the source document. I am working on a library of documentation and will begin to save it to an exterior source that can’t be tampered with. This is not the first time I have seen this kind of thing happen.
I think now that everyone can understand why Hillary has been under attack for years.
The msm has tarred and feathered her at every opportunity because of sexism and because corporate america doesn’t want to be ham strung by her policies. They have known for a very long time how capable she is and like McCain, is for the country and it’s people first. She would clean up the swamp in washington so they have tried to destroy her. She is truly incredible to have withstood this bashing for so long and is still standing. It has taken Obama, the msm and billionaires to defeat her this year and they still couldn’t do it without rigging the primaries. Amazing!
Cyberferret what was the video, i watched it and knew that I had seen it before,maybe you can refresh my memory and i will find it.
Manning defending Bristol Palin!!! warning – his rating here is not exactly g or pg
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U4-TZspqlOs&feature=related
Pastor David Manning
Who the hell is this Manning character that is spouting about Bristol ? If this guy is not setting himself up to be the Rev Wright for the Palins on purpose, I will eat any hat there’s out there.
It seems very over done and contrived – Manning is definately doing this video to hit back at the Republicans but making it look like he is sympathetic to the Palins. Like a “see, the Republicans have their own Rev. Wright’ So sad. So vile. So twisted.
No black person will talk about Obama like that and live.
It is a set up.
One lonely criticism of the “No longer Mr Nice Guy” so called change of strategy
http://edgeoforever.wordpress.com/2008/09/15/obamas-campaign-not-flawless-ohnoes/
723 freddiebrown – You need to listen to all of Rev Manning’s videos – he never wants Obama in the white house – he believes he’s evil. He is standing up for Bristol. If you pull up all of his videos, you will see that he is “for” McCain!! He believes Obama is very evil, etc. Rev Manning has millions of followers and he is not afraid of Obama!!
The American Thinker has some good articles. The author of 10 things for Obama, etc., has an email address at the bottom with a web site. Maybe we can get some help here.
Also, there is a reference on A.C.O.R.N. – shouldn’t this be a prowl?
http://www.americanthinker.com/
Hey Gypsy – are you an early bird or a late one like me ?
I’m still working in between posting. All this nonsense is a bit much sometimes. I think east coasters should be up by now..
727 freddiebrown – hi, I’m just up early and reading the news on different sites. Trying to keep up with things here. Are you in CA?
Yes, am in CA. Its 2.20 am. Lets see what today brings. Life was not as stressful 20 months or so ago
for a lot of us.
Good Morning!
Does anyone have a list of XO’s flip flops plus all the lies he told? Like about Rev. Wright, Ayers, etc.
I’m trying to compose a letter to the editor in Daytona. There is an article that the Dems are saying the GOP lied about Palin in Iraq. I find it laughable if it weren’t serious. They are taking all the attention off of XO’s lies, distortions and lack of qualifications.
#723 I like Rev. Manning, I’ve spoken to him on Ed Hale’s blog radio talk show. Manning said Clinton was robbed, warns that Obama will ruin America and that black people hate white people, that whites can never do enough to make them happy. He also spoke of Donald Young’s murder at Trinity and also believes Larry Sinclair. Say Obama is pure evil.
731 ladyhawkke – Good morning. I like him too – he’s a hoot and he says it all from the heart. Yes, he believes BO is pure evil – so do I!!
I’m looking for the list – Maybe we have one in the Action Center?
I came across this website recently. It has a LOT of Anti-Obama articles and info all in one place. Perhaps Ladyhawkke, you can find what you need.
http://dontvoteobama.net/
media playing surrogate for Obama – again
http://edgeoforever.wordpress.com/2008/09/15/obama-jump-media-how-high/
This website has an article about Donald Young too !!
picture and all.
OK – that’s it for me. See you all in a few hours. Nap time for me. Hope tomorrow brings us one small step closer to NoBama.
Thanks Freddie, have a good nap. I’m an early bird. I get up around 5am.
Ladyhawke – flip flops
http://www.nelsonguirado.com/index.php/asymmetric/2008/07/09/comprehensive-obama-flip-flop-list
LadyHawkke – Obama’s flip flops can also be found on
http://dontvoteobama.net
specifically in this page;
http://dontvoteobama.net/adobe/flyer_nobama_mission.pdf
739 freddiebrown – that site has EVERYTHING on it!! And I mean EVERYTHING!!!!
Gypsy – I intend to donate to the site tomorrow.
Whoever it is , is doing a damn good job – all in one place. If anyone knows an easy way to do it, we should
let the other sites know and link to it.
http://dontvoteobama.net
I would love to make a booklet of this website to hand out. Now I must go to bed or it would be too late to do so.
This evil man is all consuming.
Today on CNN webpage: The Obama campaign accuses McCain of running ” the most cyncial and sleziest campaign in modern Presidential history:….
Once again, they say of the opposition what they themselves do…
Obama says in New Hamphire…that they are trying to distort my record..What record?
See most read article re Rove for these quotes…
Don’t you think, given all the material we have on Obama, we should remind everyone who is the Sleze meister here?
741 freddiebrown – see you later.
742 NewOrleansPuma – I can’t really understand how BO thinks McCain’s campaign is “low”. McCain, himself, has never uttered anything against BO.
Also, BO wants his youth boot camp, and now he’s sending out his “women’s army” to attack Palin. Sounds like Hitler to me!!
Murphy: Please consider doing a Major prowl regarding the Obama campaign statement regarding..the accusation that the McCain campaign is running
the most cynical and sleaziest campaign in modern Presidential history….This is outrageous….when it is and has been clear fo 10 months these Alinskyites are in fact the ones who have and will continue to do this..
More Hillary talk on Sunday
http://edgeoforever.wordpress.com/2008/09/15/he-should-have-picked-her-sunday-talk/
Good Morning PUMAS!!
Happy Monday.
**************************************
post # 742
You would think with ALL the info people can find about BO; he would running away from this race but sadly he is not.
#745 NewOrleansPuma
Murphy: Please consider doing a Major prowl regarding the Obama campaign statement regarding..the accusation that the McCain campaign is running
the most cynical and sleaziest campaign in modern Presidential history….This is outrageous….when it is and has been clear fo 10 months these Alinskyites are in fact the ones who have and will continue to do this..
=================================
second that one!
I agree 1gypsy4mc he does sound and act like Hilter! I have friends and they keep saying…why is the media not saying what you all know? Easy…just like Hilter, they are promoting the evil one!
NO WAY NO HOW NOBAMA…NOW OR EVER! He’s a “Sleeper” set out to destroy our great country from within. I will vote McCain/Palin and do everything I can to educate others!
#7441gypsy4Mc: This is a tactic that they have used cosistently no matter the issue: Attribute to the opposition what you yourself are doing…It is one of the oldest and slimiest tactic in the book…This is why I have asked Murphy for a Prowl…We need to select Obama sleaze and shove it back to the media et al regarding who and what in fact has and is being done…
Re obimbo and Hitleer: There is no doubt the tactics and the model for so called governing as well as campaigning used by the Alinskyites is the same as Hitler and every other socialist, fascist movement that has arisen in modern history.
It will continue and get worse. We must not let up on this guy and his crew.
749 NoMoreInFL – this man has to be stopped! I called my daughter about the “sex ed” and she flipped. She is ready to do home schooling. She is going to sit in on my grandchildren’s classes this year to see what is being taught in the schools. The schools want federal funding, but the Teachers’ Union wants BO – doesn’t compute in my books!!
#741 Yes, a booklet would be great. I’m losing e-mail pals by the dozens because of not supporting XO. Seems people must vote the PARTY, just like Commies.
good morning Puma’s
750 NewOrleansPuma – yep – his friends and associates are either marxist muslims, anti-americans, George Soros (Hitler protege!!), and it goes on and on and the damn media doesn’t care!! The only one that keeps beating the drum is Hannity – on the news media. Many do this on the radio, but it isn’t being passed on either!!
753 slyt2 – hey there – good morning! Can you see we’re ready to roll?
#750 NewOrleansPuma See my post #384 from yesterday if you want to act on a prowl to your state. One of our Pumas sent it to Hannity & Greta and also nobamanetwork put it on a lot of anti-Obama websites. Ricki Lieberman also e-mailed me and is going to use all or part of it.
Re Rove and his comments on CNN webpage today:
No one should think that Rove supports McCain or any other alternative to Obimbo. It has been my thought for many, many months that a portion of the top %1percent of individuals and corporations who run this country and this world are, in fact, behind Obimbo..That in fact of this group some who were and are Bush backers, some have from beginning moved to support Obama.
They certainly were not behind Clinton, Soros , only one among them. …In this group, party is of no interest or use. Karl Rove is the most sinister political operative since Rasputin, in my view. And, no one should believe that he is not involved in a move, no matter the candidate, to retain financial and political power and influence .
#756 ladyhawkke – is it on the previous thread or this one? I had to re-generate yesterday to help prepare for the rest of the fight!!
Did you see this?
http://blogs.abcnews.com/politicalpunch/2008/09/joe-who.html
It’s sad. The DNC has really screwed the pooch on this one.
They will be begging Hillary to take over for Biden, but if she’s smart, she’ll turn it down.
She should accept nothing less than to take over from Obama! Either that or 2012, period.
BillieJo and everyone re: Biden stepping aside for Hillary. I have already sent a fax to Hillary and asked her not to accept that as I still would not vote for him. I also told her she was in control and tell him she wants to be on top of the ticket, that we could put up with his lies only if she were on top. To stand up for herself and take what is hers.
I keep praying that *61 would be exposed and as his associates and connections to destroy our country keeps coming to light…all I can do is pray, he falls swiftly!
He is a wake up call for America to not acept party over country! NOBAMA…NOW OR EVER!
#757comment, continued: And, certainly, Rove and others know McCain is not Bush and will never be able to be led or manipulated as Bush has, which is why, Obama campaign continues to try to equate Bush and McCain . George Soros, for example, asserts a pseudo, quasi socialist agenda, but that only refers to the masses, i.e., us…At the top of any socialist or fascist governing body are those who run the show and the money: Soros and other 1% financiers and money changers in this world..the globaliztion crew, the world citizen crew…are of this mindset. This is also why I have thought and believe that Obama represents an attempted coup in this country, using by distorting the current political structures, i.le. DNC to accomplish what a blood coup would be too messy to do.
This is also why I consider Obimbo the most dangerous phenomenon to ever hit this country in its entire history. I have not one paranoid or cynister vein in my body..Follwing the moves, and tactics from the beginning point in certain clear directions, it seems to me.
I honestly believe that BO knows he screwed up big time by not picking Hillary. If if he would have picked her I would still not be voting for him. They are just mad because McCain/Palin are getting a lot of news coverage and it isn’t all bad.
I respect Hillary and think she will come out strong in 2012 and hopefully she will have the FULL support of the DNC.
thank you PUMA’s for the visits to my blog~ I also had done a blog on why women should vote~ the video’s are a powerful reminder of what our grandmothers and great-grandmothers fought for. Thanks again for the visits and comments.
http://southjerseypumas.blogspot.com/
I call my blog; Lip-Stick It!
#763 ontherocks we don’t know if the rumor is true or not; however, I do believe we need to do a PROWL to Hillary asking her NOT to accept the VP slot, to accept nothing but being on top of the ticket. This election was stolen from her and if she accepts the VP slot, I have lost all respect for her. She is holding the cards now and can demand to be put on top. The Obots would have to get over it, they could still have their liar on bottom, but not on top.
It has been reported by fox that when compared with McCain’s agenda, O will be like a 2nd term bush~ not Mac! lmao! can you imagine he is the one that will eat his own words!
#764 South Jersey Puma See my post #765. Get your blog going on this. I faxed Hillary days ago when I heard the rumor and also faxed a copy of Bill Clinton’s NY office.
Have a tennis match at 8:30, will be back later.
if Hillary is asked, I do believe she will run. She will swallow her pride and do it hoping to get this dem party in the WH~
yes i see that 1gypsy4mc I’m trying to catch up on all these great postings.
For those of you that have other web sites, please post here and leave your link. This is prowlland’s site for Texans or anyone else that wishes to post. It is a new site and she can use your help. Prowlland doesn’t have electricity at this time so TexasSherry is helping her. Thanks.
http://mcpalinmavericks.wordpress.com/
Hillary swallowed her pride or what ever else one maycall it the day she said she supports the fraud. I will not and can not ever forget that. And obviously, I don’t care what she is doing. I am doing what I am doing and what I believe people in this country must do: Nobama, Not now, Not ever, Never, Not ever!
I have sent her these kinds of messages to her Senate site since before and after she ended her campaign. And I have also noted my rejection of her as VP.
they are busting on the O camp for the attack on McCain for not being able to do emails etc… hahaa.. bo did this to lock in the young vote as those “kids” will find this as depicting McCain illiterate with the pc, which he is not. and yes, i know it was already discussed here, just saying what the O camp thinking is~ or better “NOT” thinking!
#762 NewOrleansPuma You are so right on!
Here is a link that gives an overview of Tarpley’s book:
http://obambi.wordpress.com/2008/05/21/obama-the-postmodern-coup-making-of-a-manchurian-candidate/
Here is a link to the author:
http://www.tarpley.net/
Off to rest…be back later.
Let’s say the rumor is true if she is asked to be his VP wouldn’t she have to kiss her run for the white house goodbye in 2012 because you know he’d run again in 4 years and she would automatically be vp again(that is assume he would win) but I guess she would have to decide what’s more important running in 4 years or saying well i made it pretty fair and be happy with second spot.
#7701gypsyformc: Thanks for the website link. I have visited…looks good…I have also just now gone to McCain website and told them about it. I will do that several times today. Place is crawling with roaches. ..running out the Obimbo cracks. I will enjoy seeing how our Puma friends fry the roaches when they attempt to post over at the new site they have set up!
Has anyone seen the cartoon pic of BO as the Pied Piper? I have it, but can only send it email.
#7761gypsy4mc: I have not, would like to..can you gmail it to me, if you do not mind. Can it be posted on
the site by prowland…can it be posted here if you email it to Murphy? That would be great..
anyone watching Good Morning America?
Nobama is on defending Biden’s remarks….
and why he chose him….LIAR.
777 NewOrleansPuma – I just sent it to Sherry, but don’t know if she’s up yet.. gmail and name?
Dear Senator McCain:
I am a former Hillary Clinton supporter who is considering voting for the McCain/Palin ticket. There are many issues I disagree with you on but am willing to overlook except for the following:
(1) Illegal Immigration. I am against all illegal immigration. I do not want to hear the word “comprehensive immigration reform” which is a code word for amnesty. I have read the McCain/Feingold/Kennedy bill and it is a bad bill. It does not take a book to write a bill to stop illegals from entering our country. Illegals have no rights as citizens of this country and should not have access to our schools and hospitals. We do not have an obligation to educate and teach them English. There are many poor American citizens who have been denied benefits that illegals readily obtain. I am against the border fence because of the environmental impact on the animals that migrate between Mexico and the U.S. The solution is the Real ID act and fining employers. If there are no jobs, they will go home.
(2) ANWR. I am unalterably opposed to Gov. Palin’s stance on drilling in ANWR. I believe you need to take into consideration the viewpoint of the Gwich’in Indians who live in this pristine area. In their own words:
“Maybe there are too few of us to matter. Maybe people think Indians are not important enough to consider in making their energy decisions. But it’s my people who are threatened by this development. We are the ones who have everything to lose.
The oil companies keep saying that all their roads and pipelines aren’t going to bother the caribou. But we know the caribou. We know they don’t like all that stuff, especially when they are having their calves. We are concerned about all the salt and chemicals they put on their roads. It can drain onto the tundra, get into the water, and be unhealthy for the young caribou. A report from the Canadian government tells us that the caribou have already been disturbed around the oil fields. If we lose the caribou there will be no more forever.”

These are very powerful words. If you don’t protect this area, who will? Please do not change your stance about drilling in ANWR. My vote depends on it
1gypsy4mccain: NewOrleansPuma@gmail.com
Thank you.
#778bythe lake: Liar, Liar, pants on fire, burn your arse, you’re more than dire…
781 NewOrleansPuma – it’s coming from Yahoo.
#778 bythelake nope didn’t see him was watching Morning Joe (which I can think of another name morning ….) but I’d get banned from here. So i’m watching them fall all over Robert Gibbs serious why don’t they just have BO’s camp move in and talk to them all day. The scariest part is one JUST ONE comment was made about them not being nice to McCain’s camp (as far as ads go)and it came from Andrea Mitchell believe that one.
NewOrleans – if it’s too big, I can fix that.
1gypsy4mccain: Got it..Love it…Thanks so much!
786 NewOrleansPuma
#771 NewOrleansPuma, I totally agree. Hillary is for Party….not Country!! Otherwise she would NOT be out there supporting that empty suit!! She is hurting herself by doing so.
OBAMA TRIED TO STALL GIS’ IRAQ WITHDRAWAL (FOR POLITICAL GAIN)
According to Iraqi Foreign Minister Hoshyar Zebari, Obama made his demand for delay a key theme of his discussions with Iraqi leaders in Baghdad in July.
“He asked why we were not prepared to delay an agreement until after the US elections and the formation of a new administration in Washington,” Zebari said in an interview.

Murphy – you’ve got mail along with a good pic (IMO).
Sorry about the two video links I posted last night, they were incomplete. Here they are again. They are the ones where he appears to be on “something”, so maybe Larry Sinclair has some credibility to his drug claims:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KbpWonUzlrc&feature=related
#780 ladyhawkke, I agree with the immigration. But, ANWR is a farse. It isn’t going to hurt the caribou and the Gwich’in Indians do not even live close to where they will drill.
792 hillaryistheone – plus most of them live in Canada too!!
#792 hillaryistheone I don’t agree, the caribou travel a long way. The oil they get from ANWR will be nothing compared to the destruction of the environment. I’ve seen what happens here in my town when they continue to plow down trees to put in more concrete, more condos. Across the street from me when they trashed the empty lot to build, they didn’t consider the hawks who had a nest there. The poor hawk was in my yard with nowhere to go. Don’t know where you live, maybe in a big city, but I look at places all over the world that are being destroyed, all in the name of greed.
# 789john: tHANK You for the post regading Obama’s attempt to manipulate crucial issues to his own political gain. This is a must read for everyone. I hope you will read this “article”. i.e..post.
As we all have said so often and must continue to do so:This man will turn anything and everything into an occasion for his selfinteres: It is the Alinsky way and he is the Alinsky Master. That is his identity. That is his only identity and the only consistency he has shown in his entire adult life: Using the method to get what he wants. He is a sociopath. No self and all selves, whatever works. He is whatever needs to be mirrored in the moment to achieve ..”himself.” Why he is a dangerous succor.
<b?789 john Where’ve you been?
well, that didn’t work!
784 slyt2………Nobama is so pathetic. He claims McCain is the one making the campaign negative. Geez, need he get glasses?
#794 ladyhawkke, I agree about the trees also….did you look at the land where they will drill….there are no trees. Barren land.
As we discuss all of this, it is becoming more and more obvious that reform of the DNC is going to be difficult. It would appear to me that more than 1/2 of the super delegates participated, either a little or a lot in this cabal to keep Hillary from being president. When we consider that the super delegates are the core officials of the party, that becomes a scary specter.
If we are to purge the corruption from the party, that means we have to get rid of, or reform 1/2 of the party inner circle. Hillary and Bill see the writing on the wall. Either they go along with this now, or they leave the party. If there ever was a house divided, this is it.
The real problem here is that the rank and file democrat on the street does not know the depths of the corruption within the party. Some that I talk to do not even know how the nomination process and delegates works. It would seem that we have a huge job ahead of us. The first thing we need to do in our efforts to reform the party (after or while we are derailing Obama) is to educate the public on how the party works, and the mess they made. An informed electorate will be vital in rebuilding the party into something we can live with.
Post # 789
John,
Thank you for posting the link. Very interesting.
This guy will stop at nothing to win. That is scary.
#794 ladyhawkke, I live in Wyoming (LOL, big city, there isn’t a big city here) …they drill here and much of the land is barren…just like ANWR.
OMG, I am SO angry at the statement Obama made in this youtube about asthma. He’s an idiot! My daughter almost died because of an asthma attack. Did I ever have to take her to the emergency room? You bet! Oh, he makes me SICK! He needs to get a real clue about healthcare!

So angry, wrong link………..

Gypsy I am happy to see you! My sister was asking about you and your mini’s.
Everything ok?
The problem with incorrect links is that they cost a lot in wasted time, at least for some of us. Often when I click on such a link it causes a freeze and that really frustrates me as I have to restart. That makes me hesitant to click on any links and that is unfortunate because they are links to some good readings. Also I, for one, would appreciate knowing to what I am linking. Why? Because there are so many posts to read and for me a link to an off topic video, as amusing as others find it, is just lost time for me.
Sorry: ..it is unfortunate because THERE are links…
Carrie – tell her I said Hello!! I’m find down here; we got very little rain and hardly any wind. How is she doing? Ike went up her way, didn’t it?
gee whiz 806 lilibet……….won’t happen again. If your computer is freezing, time to get a new one. Have a good day.
I guess what we have to do is defeat the party we use to love but what else can we do wouldn’t that be step one than work on reform if it is possible . But as we speak we our in great trouble the market looks to me like it just might crash. I own a small business so it won’t have much to do with me but big comapny’s invested in cash markets to make payroll may be in real trouble thier stocks will be worth nothing or very little . Now is when we really needed Hillary and Bill . I take that back I am just a hobby as they now say a sm business is worth 10,000,000.
#804 bythelake OMG right there with you I have had to take my oldest to the emergency room because her asthma was so bad and they admitted her over nite and she had to be in a “breathing tent” (it was over her head to shoulders ) I believe that’s what they called it, it’s been awhile..
Hey Carrie missed you yesterday, tell your sister hello.
They are without power Gypsy. We have no idea for how long. Some parts of their area wont be on until the 17th, but we are hiping that they will get to them before that.
#809 bythelake, how was the wind around your area last night? I’m in NE Ohio, Youngstown, and we had winds from Ike clocked at 61 miles. I have a hell of a mess outside to clean up. Tree limbs all over the place.
We kept losing power so I’ve been off computer since yesterday afternoo when the wind started.
812 Caracal Carrie – do we need to send care packages or something to her – where does she live? Does she have water, food, etc?
Thanks Sly!
I popped on at one time, but find myself with irritated sometimes when I get on here so I didn’t say much and got right off.
I spent some time screening web sites for info, but some of them have stuff that is only confirmed by far left sites and Im afraid to use that kind of stuff so its not just dismissed as an unfounded attack.
#798 bythelake how did you do with the storms the other day, are you by Cinn my nephew lives there and winds and storms from Ike took their power out (my mom said something like 4 days, I assume to be without power).
She has plenty of food and water. She can get to a store that’s open. They are just very very hot. They spent the day yesterday cleaning up the fallin branches from her pecan trees.
We have asthma in our family and two of the girls had to be taken often in the middle of the night. This guy is so shallow he left elderly with no heat for the winter and just what did they spend the money on they got from the goverment I wonder no one is asking the questions. If this country goes down it will be MSM fault and the dems. Biden saying Hillary’s the best is what makes me so mad I can’t see .
Ohio and bythelake
we had the same thing here in Indiana. I have to have someone out today to puck up this huge antenna that was ripped off of my house.
Carrie – I’m sorry to hear that. I imagine she had to take everything out of her fridge also. Please let me know what I can do, ok?
#817 Caracal Carrie OMG I was so mad about what I read from bythelake that I didn’t see your post about her losing power just saw you on . I’m so glad she is ok and can get to a store tell her I said I’m thinking of her and glad to hear for the most part she is ok. Like 1gypsy4mc said if she needs anything let us know. That goes for any of our fellow pumas. I am going to drop off water today for the red cross and other things they need to take to victims.
Well gypsy everytime I talked to her all she asked is if I had seen you or knew how you and your horses came out!
kids1627: Re Biden comment…That is simply more pandering to women.we are supposed to think more of him I suppose for having said that…They really don’t know women very well…do they?
They will know much more by the time we are finished!
We had on/off power all night. Winds in Ashtabula had 78mph gusts. Only one school closing today though. I know there are trees down per local paper. Can’t imagine being in a real hurricane.
My nephew is a lineman for Southern Power they told him he would be in Tx and LA for up to six weeks he has been down there two now.
CaracalCarrie: Tell her we are all thinking of her!
Carrie – you and your sister are both so nice. Tell her all my minis are fine. Hopefully she has a laptop or something, otherwise I think she’ll go bonkers not being able to join us!
I have to go for now, Pumas…God bless you all and the important work that we are doing and will do!
I think Texas is enjoying her bacon flavored spam. She may have gotten herself dropped to the bottom of the turn on power list by telling the power company alll about themselves. But they are safe.
She let Buh the bull dog out towards the end of the storm and they had to do a dog search, so that was a bit of a panic. But turns out he was out running in the rain with the horses doing his lil dog laugh.
828 NewOrleansPuma – bye – send that pic to everyone!
#810 kids1627, I am a small business owner too. I have been been in business since 1995 but selling to the online community since 1998. I have never seen business as bad as it is now. I had high hopes in Hillary being our CIC and donated money that I could not afford but that didn’t matter because I wanted her to win. Now what hurts me the most is not the loss of business nor the amount of money I’ve spent, it’s the sadness that Hillary has turned her back on all of us! When she stopped the roll call vote I took that as a direct slap in the face. And now she is stumping for O Crap! She reminds me of a woman who has had the shit beat out of her, insulted and terrorized, and all it took was a “I’m sorry, I won’t do it again apology” from O Crap and there she is telling all of us how great her abuser is and we should all vote for him. I’m done with Hillary! She is a politician and she will never have my support again.
829 Caracal Carrie – you’re so funny!
She has a lap top, but probably will not get on it, since with no power all she would be able to use would be dial up and no dial up isp.
bythe lake:
I am so, soooo very sorry. I did not see YouR posts before I wrote the complaining note about links. I had jumped from the middle of the page to the leave a comment. After I made the comment I saw your response and was sorry in the extreme because I thought that you might think I was chiding you. PERISH THE THOUGHT. I JUST WOULDN’T DO THAT. HAVE A WONDERFUL DAY!
#831 go_Ohio_Lady, Exactly!! Hillary has turned her back on us that supported her and on her country for “the party”. Very sad indeed.
Isn’t that what women are suppose to do. Get beat up and then take the SOB back??? She sure is doing just that.
Obama is in Wall Street’s pocket – how can he reform it?
http://edgeoforever.wordpress.com/2008/09/15/obama-beholden-to-wall-street/
#831 I to am getting a little pissed at Hillary can’t help myself I know they would really black ball her if they have not already I mean after all they are the same people that called them white trash when Bill won in 92. They are the same people who look down thier noses at us all Kennedy,Kerry, Dodd, Thier lap dogs are Biden Obama etc and I guess Bill and Hill now.IMO
Ok i’m watching fox news here and has anyone heard about this photograph who took pictures of McCain for a magazine then went on her Blog and bragged about the fact she purposely made McCain look bad. It’s coming up on fox they are going to talk to the mag about it (Megan Kelly is back) so turn it on and see. Oh big surprise photographer is a BO supporter..
OBAMA TRIED TO STALL GIS’ IRAQ WITHDRAWAL (FOR POLITICAL GAIN)
According to Iraqi Foreign Minister Hoshyar Zebari, Obama made his demand for delay a key theme of his discussions with Iraqi leaders in Baghdad in July.
“He asked why we were not prepared to delay an agreement until after the US elections and the formation of a new administration in Washington,” Zebari said in an interview.

I’m still very upset over that asthma youtube. That one really hit home and brings up bad memories.
Short story; 1989 per my doctor’s orders, I took my then 5 year old daughter to the “emergency” room to be quickly admitted to the hospital due to an asthma attack.
With asthma being so unpredictable, she almost died. She was life-flighted to Rainbows in Cleveland on a breathing bag, collapsed lung and comatose.
I didn’t know if I would see her alive when I got there. It was without a doubt one of the worse nightmares of a mother.
For Barack Obama to minimize an asthma attack of “taking up a bed” in an emergency has fueled my fire. I will personally let this idiot know the seriousness of asthma.
I thank God today, no everyday that my daughter is okay.
#835 hillaryistheone, When Hillary had to face the things Bill did I admired her because that was their personal business and how she handled it was her business also. I never judged Bill or Hillary. But now, she is trying to get her 18 million voters to accept BAD Behavior and turn our cheeks to get slapped again and I’ll be damned if I’ll do it. For me it’s McCain/Palin all the way to the White House.
Good Morning everyone. It has been a long night. No power, and my basement is flooded, lost everything in it. I watched that video just now about obama and the asthma remarks. What an asshole. I have asthma, as do my grand daughter. And just what are you supposed to do when you HAVE NO MEDICAL INSURANCE and cannot get an inhaler? or treatment? I had just that problem last night, because of the heat and no circulation in my house, I had a hard time. I am better my mother in law had an inhaler that she did not use, so she gave it to me.
I have been so worried about my texas friends, then my own basement got flooded, and getting pissed everytime I have to see oblowme on tvI think the stress is getting to me. I hate being here in the first place, and with all that is going on, I find myself more with more days that I am angry and depressed, than happy and optimistic like I normally am. Does anyone else feel that way? I wish I could move back to Denver! Oh well life goes on….and I sound exactly like an old, bitter, gun clinging bitch….thanks alot obiteme!
This is an older article that refers to George Soros and England’s bank. This is just what is happening here. And do we really think that BHO wouldn’t be happy about this also.

834 lilibet ……..it’s okay, I’m sorry, that youtube really, really hit a nerve.
Recipe for the day….
COOK OBAMA’S GOOSE!
#708 Asian…that was a great video to start the day with ! Thanks.
Thanlkyou, bythe lake.
I’ll try to help you COOK THAT GOOSE.
842 prplvette85 – I’m sorry about your loss. Also, can you get to a pharmacy or anything? Are you stranded? Where are you?
And yes, I was feeling like that yesterday, but just regrouped (I think).
842 prplvette85, OMG, I can’t stop laughing! I’m sorry about your basement flooding and your breathing problem, honestly I am. But the way you say O Craps name is too funny, oblowme, obiteme. I needed the laugh and you gave it to me. Now is there anything I can do to help you?
Opening bell in six min. it will be the big story of the day. alot of people will lose thier money and thier jobs today.
#847 1gypsy4mc- I am in Northwest Indiana, right on the line where they evacuated people! My husband was out until 3 in the morning, he drives a shuttle bus for a trucking school and hotel, they had to evacutate the hotel and find places for all the students. So I was home alone dealing with the freekin basement flood, then the power went out during the blog radio show…thats when I discovered the basement was getting worse, I am ok, still no power now we are trying to find sump pumps to get the water out….there is a shortage of course.
I am ok though, thanks for asking. I am going to see If I can get to work through the streets, I am an insurance agent and I am sure the phone will be ringing off the hook today with homeowners with the same problem as me.
I actually got an email from a puma this morning telling me they don’t want to send people to the site because they don’t like they way its laid out…
#849 kids1627, is your business online? Maybe we could start a list of our members with online businesses and we could try to support one another since I don’t see things getting much better this year. I am 3 w’s shirtlady dot com

Mr Anti-war stalled US withdrawal from Iraq
http://edgeoforever.wordpress.com/2008/09/15/anti-war-candidate-stalled-withdrawal/
SLY:
I DID YOUR BIDDING AND QUICKLY TURNED FOX ON. IT WAS JUST BEFORE A COMMERCIAL, AFTER WHICH THEY WILL COMPARE THE INTERVIEWS THAT CHARLIE GIBBONS GAVE TO SARAH AND OBAMA.
They are going to talk about the photographer (with the magazine) who admits on blog that she made McCain look evil at 10:00. Also any minute they are going to talk to BO’s camp about them going too negative, already talked to McCains camp about it (the guy wasn’t very good at defending McCain’s ad’s I think he was caught off guard).
#848 go_Ohio_Lady- Thanks, but I will be fine. I am trying to maintain my sense of humor. It is the only thing aside from my dignity, and my vote that I will not let him steal from me!
850 prplvette85 – I’m so sorry. I was shocked when I saw how far the Ike storms went. I was so very, very lucky being “south” of Galveston, but I see there is so much damage going all the way North!! Please take care.
#851 Caracal Carrie who doesn’t like the way what site is laid out this one , yours???
#855 lilibet well thank you I guess I jumped the gun alittle bit but they only say coming up then they give you a time after I posted it..lol.. I am curious to see what this mag says for it’s self about McCain’s picture also.
#842 prplvette85….I ‘m home, too depressed to go to work. Your post snapped me out of it. Thanks for the laugh. What can I do to help?
OBAMA TRIED TO STALL GIS’ IRAQ WITHDRAWAL
“LONG VIEW: Barack Obama tours Iraq with Gen. David Petraeus in July, when he sought to stall any agreement for US troop withdrawal until President Bush left office.”
http://www.nypost.com/seven/09152008/postopinion/opedcolumnists/obama_tried_to_stall_gis_iraq_withdrawal_129150.htm?page=0
First of all, when Obama went to Iraq, he was only speaking as a presidential candidate, he must have thought he was already the President!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I thought he went there to assess things, that’s what he said, what a joke!

Treason is the violation of allegiance toward one’s country or sovereign, especially the betrayal of one’s country by waging war against it or by consciously and purposely acting to aid its enemies.
#852 Go I own a an Assisted Living have tapped out to Hillary so has my husband I am now giving to JM/ Palin and feel blessed that I don’t have much to lose this stock market is terrible and the poor people who have been thru Ike . It would help if they would show how many were hurt by it .
#325 BarbNOBO – I’m in northeastern PA, and Hillary won here as well by 70%. I’m a life-long Democrat, but I’m in the process of contacting as many other Hillary supporters as I can find to join PumaPac and protest by voting Nobama in November.
Nobama. November. NODEAL.
McCain/Palin ’08
Request for PUMA Prowl: We need to contact Robert Greenwald and request that he demand questions answered by Barack Hussein Obama. Look at what Greenwald’s requesting of John McCain:
Help spread the word about McCain’s health records:
Email this video to everyone you know and encourage them to send it on.
Click the “digg it” button the right. Be sure you’re logged in to digg so your vote counts.
Add the video to your Facebook, MySpace, or MyBO page.
John McCain has not yet released his medical records to the public. McCain is 72 years old, and has been diagnosed with invasive melanoma. In May of this year, a small group of selected reporters were allowed to review 1,173 pages of McCain’s medical records that covered only the last eight years, and were allowed only three hours to do so. John McCain’s health is an issue of profound importance. We call on John McCain to issue a full, public disclosure of all of his medical records, available for the media and members of the general public to review.

#865 Daniella – he should demand the same of Joe Biden as well
No its my web site they don’t like. I responded. Im not going to say who it is, but I will post my response so other pumas can keep it in mind.
I am sorry that you do not like the set up of the web site. I am not asking for you to use it, or demanding that you send other people to share its content. I am only trying to create a resource for you to have available if you should CHOOSE to use it.
I am no where near finished with the site. I hope that when it is done it is a site that people will like, but I am aware there are just some people you can not please.
I am just a private person, not a professional web designer, not a journalist, not a political organization. I have used the information that people have taken the time to send me to create the site. People have taken a lot of time to help me gather links and I have taken a lot of time putting it together.
While I understand that some people may not like the site, I do expect that they will respect and appreciate the time that has gone into the building of it.
Thank you for your comments,
Carrie
someone posted this link on here yesterday and I was able to read it yesterday:
http://toledo.craigslist.org/rnr/840579092.html
I went to print it out this morning, and it has been removed. Have you noticed that ANYTHING negative, even though factual,about Obama is being swiftly removed from the net, while all the negatives and trashings of Sarah Palin are NEVER removed. There is something very frightening happening in our MSM, we have to climb a mountain to win this fight, but win we must!
No way, no how, no BO!!!! no politicians to put them self above PEOPLE. Enough is enough.
As to a matter of Senator McCain’s health….I noticed that Barack Obama has some sort of bump on the side of his nose that I have not seen before, have we seen his latest medical records? Since when does age determine when a person will face death. Unfortunately death has no age limits.
#23 CyberFerret52 on 09.14.08 at 2:24 pm
Obama reports 66 million for the month of August. I want his fund raising apparatus investigated! With him sinking in the polls and many of Hillary’s donors refusing to fund his campaign, I want to know where his money is coming from.//
==========
I saw an analysis lately that said anything short of about $120 million was mostly eaten up by fund-raising and other expenses for a public appeal campaign. So the $66M is more or or less a dead loss.
McCain has no such expenses to speak of now, because he’s on public government funding, so net net McCain has much more to work with.
NewOrleansPuma…what you have been saying regarding a coup from within is something I have thought for some time. I am wondering what you think can be done…won’t they just rig the GE as they did the primaries ? Who is backing McCain ? And if BO keeps dropping in the polls won’t they just get rid of the competition ? Where do the Clintons figure into this..part of or fighting it ? What can we do other than VOTE ?
851
Love the set up on the site, especially the orange. I found it to be very easy to use.
thanks for the hard work and it is a very valuable site for people who need facts and answers fast.
#865 Daniella, LMAO….we have called for full account of Obama dealings, whether or not he is even a citizen of these United States. We all could drop dead tomorrow….get real!!
girlsrule I AM THE ONE THAT POSTED IT, I know it had to be a da*n OBOT I am glad you were able to read it before, My husband said if things get flagged enough they will get rid of it someone or somebodies must have been busy because it has to be flagged several times.
#867 Caracal Carrie screw them, I mean it screw them, you have been busting your butt for what money NO, for the fame NO, just because you wanted to do something nice, i am so sick of people I think it looks great.
They have the Mag on now about photo of McCain.
#865 Daniella ok I got on a read this , so some BO doctor is trying to start trouble is that what you are getting out of it and he got 29 other doctors to follow suit. Bo had released his medical records a while ago because there was something about his smoking. As far as who said that about the bump I the side of his nose if it’s the one i think you are talking about it’s a mole(i believe)and in younger pics of him it’s been there too.
slyt2….LOL, I have never seen it before, but then again I don’t make it a habit of looking too close at BO’s face, thanks for clarifying.
OMG are you watching this A*SSHOLE on fox from BO camp.
851 Caracal Carrie
I actually got an email from a puma this morning telling me they don’t want to send people to the site because they don’t like they way its laid out…
———————————————————
Wow, now there’s a great example of constructive criticism. Why would anyone go out of their way to tell you that, knowing that you’ve expended energy creating something that is meant to benefit Pumas?
We have 50 days left to defeat oblahblah, and that doesn’t leave a lot of time to waste mucking around trying to please everyone’s taste.
Just let it go. Do your best and leave the rest. It, they, aren’t worth the upset.
Daily Presidential Tracking Poll
The Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Tracking Poll for Monday shows John McCain attracting 49% of the vote while Barack Obama earns 47%.
#842 prplvette85 ,
I am so sorry to hear about your flooding. I lost my first house (13 years ago)like that. My insurance didn’t cover flooding so it was a complete loss. I hope that you had flood insurance.
Sorry about my bad manners this morning…Good Morning Y’all.
We need something big to happen with BO I am not liking these poll numbers to close for my comfort. Chuck Todd said this morning that McCain will probably lose Pennsylvania because he already had his big bump and with Palin if he hasn’t gotten ahead or closer then he won’t win it now.What else can we do there ????
Since the other one was removed, here is a good comparison of obama/palin:
http://www.redstate.com/diaries/redstate/2008/aug/30/tale-of-the-tape-sarah-palin-vs-barack-obam/
Here’s a copy of the original craigslist posting that has since been removed;
In 1997, Obama won a seat in the Illinois State Senate, while Sarah Palin was unseating the incumbent to become Mayor for Wasilla , Alaska . As Mayor, she reduced property taxes by 40%, improved the community through infrastructure investment, and earned the respect of her peers by being elected President of the Alaska Council of Mayors.
In June of 2003, Obama was busy raising money for a run at the US Senate. This included attending a lavish fund raiser for his Senate campaign, hosted by Tony Rezko, who was later indicted for corruption and accepting kickbacks. At the same time, Sarah Palin was busy taking on the good old boy network in Alaska politics, exposing corruption within her own party and taking a stand against politics as usual, which led to the resignation of state’s Republican Party chairman as well as the state’s Attorney General.
As Barack Obama was missing almost half (45.5%) his votes in the US Senate while organizing his campaign for President, Sarah Palin was defeating former governor Tony Knowles 48% to 40%, despite being outspent by her political rival.
In January of 2005, Barack Obama was inaugurated into the US Senate and has been a member of the lowest rated Congress in US History, with the lowest all-time low approval rating of 9%.
In 2006, Gov Palin entered off and earned approval ratings between 75% and 90% during her first two years in office.
In 2007, while Barack Obama was busy winning the designation “Most Liberal US Senator” by the National Journal, Governor Sarah Palin of Alaska , was killing the “Bridge to Nowhere” project, saving US Taxpayers $200 million. While Barack Obama was talking about energy policy, Gov. Sarah Palin was drafting, introducing, and getting passed, a bill called the Alaska Gasoline Inducement Act, which would build a $26 billion natural gas pipeline from the North Slope to the Lower 48, helping reduce America ‘s dependence of foreign energy.
In 2008, while Barack Obama was criticizing a campaign to eliminate the Federal Tax on gasoline to help consumers, Governor Sarah Palin was suspending the Alaska state tax on gasoline and returning $1,200 of increased energy revenues to Alaska ‘s families.
Sarah Palin also runs a private business and is raising a family of five children. Her oldest has joined the U.S. Army and is deployed to Iraq .
What a women!
Thank so much for your support yall. I feel better (((((((puma squish))))))
Isn’t something big supose to come out about obama in October? Personaly I am convinced he will not win in Nov.
#886 Carrie
Can you post a link for your site? Hear you talk about it but haven’t been on to see the link. Thanks.
On another note my Hillary suporters for MCCain baseball jersey has arrived, I think it wil be perfect on election day as I cast my vote for Mccain
#885 bythelake Oh thank you how did you get that , I was so mad when I read it got flagged I would have had my husband save it right then and there after I posted it last nite had I known this would happen.See there is nothing even worth flagging just a OBOT not liking to hear the truth.
#886 Caracal Carrie You’ve got mail….
“Part of my job, I think, as president, is to make government cool again.”
Democratic presidential nominee Barack Obama, during a public service forum at Columbia University.
——————
He’s right, ya know.
Things like a bad economy, citizens defaulting on home mortgage loans, banks going under, the stock market nose diving, wars in iraq and afghanistan, and potentially pakistan, millions of citizens uninsured, global warming, extreme climate changes, all of these are just annoyances and distractions from obama’s goal of ‘making government cool’ again, which is a lofty goal to which any president should aspire.
#885 by the lake…thank you for posting that craigslist article. I was beating myself up for not saving it yesterday, I have people I want to send this to!
#878 slyt2
I saw NObama’s mouthpiece, Bill Burton, on Fox this morning. My primary reaction was repulsion: This young man was arrogant, unprofessional and overtly aggressive in his attempts to prop up his empty suit candidate — Burton actually sneered at the Fox interviewer a number of times, while he stuck to his snotty talking points and refused to answer a legitimate question about the inherent unfairness about ridiculing McCain for his inability to use a computer, when his prisoner-of-war wounds preclude him from typing on a keyboard.
A clown speaking on behalf of a clown!!
no obama, never never never, he wouldn’t know the truth if it slaped him in the face.
#878 slyt2
I saw that, it is awfull what obama is doing, he is desperate. I can’t wait to see Johns reply to that jerk.
dwp #891,
the one word that comes to mind when I think of Obama is AMATEUR.
new thread open — feel free to repost comments.
Take it upstairs!
#896 murphy
The word I think of is Pretender

I probably shouldn’t post the words that enter my mind when I think of obama.
#893 just.words Oh i know I was so mad he just laughed and laughed . #891 DancesWithPumas you know it would be a lot funnier (which I did laugh) if all you said wasn’t so true, it’s scary but hey his a hip hop new age wanna be president and he will have a cool government, makes you sleep good at nites huh…
#894 just.words…HILARIOUS, “a clown speaking on behalf of a clown”…I am rolling over that comment!!!!
just .words:
That was Bill Burton speaking for the Obama Campaign from Chicago. Bill Hemmer helped to prove how ridiculous Burton was when he said that Burton had sort of answered some questions. He just could not get a credible answer from Burton. It was my thought that that Bill Burton and Bob Beckel are two of the “best” supporters that FOX could have on to support Obama. They were so ridiculous this morning.
lilibet: new forum upstairs. come join us.
#860 gojoyknocks-Thanks. What you can do for me is…don’t let him get the best of us. It is very depressing, we have been through a lot. But we cannot let this get the best of us. We have got to give our best succeed in NOT GETTING HIM ELECTED. If we all stick together and keep lifting each other up…we will be just fine!
Have to turn down TV Biden yelling.
Biden is load, like if he yells it it is true.

NY internal party polls: PUMAs on the move!
http://edgeoforever.wordpress.com/2008/09/15/internal-ny-polls-show-puma-movement/
Obama Has Issues And He’s Dead Wrong on All of them!
Empty rabble rousing rhetoric
This is the problem with blindly entrusting your future to an individual who has accomplished nothing of any consequence in his past. It’s not hope you’re feeling, its euphoric blind faith.
As is always the case with career rabble rousers (aka community organizers), the fact that they have never been in the game does not hamper their ability to talk a good game. Obama says that words mean something and without any deeds to talk about, he’s right. However, compared to action and real experience, or in his case a complete lack thereof, empty words mean damn little.

Calling on all PUMAs…..
Alice Paul is under consideration for a Congressional Gold Medal for her work to help women win the right to vote.
Email, call and write to your Congress and Senate representatives and tell them to award the CMG to Ms. Alice Paul.
I was blogging on another site and read this funny comment.
For all those who cannot vote for McCain and yet do not want to vote for Obama, the suggest is to write PRESENT IN THE BOX! lol
“Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama is accusing his Republican rival, John McCain, of resorting to smears and lies to win the election. In a new ad out today, the Obama campaign quotes several media sources assaulting the GOP candidate and accusing him of running a sleazy campaign and repeatedly lying to the public.”
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CK3Y1KPzW9k
My question is WHO is running the nastiest sleaziest campaign and ads?? From what I see it is Obama! Nothing from him is anything except whining and negative sleaze toward McCain and everything…………where are the issue ads that are important? all this mambypamby whining and negative sleaze is going to back fire on him again people are tired of the negative ads 24/7 from Obama……….I don’t think he has done more than 5 ads all year on issues everything is negative or whining otherwise.And this last ad here is just another piece of sleazy negative “WHO THE F*** CARES” nothingness again from Obama.
It seems that sexism is popping out its ugly head everywhere, and in almost everything I am involved with. Help! A film I am getting ready to shoot (my first speaking role) is suddenly filled with sexist remarks from everyone and I stand alone. The band I play music in suddenly sees me different and thinks they can change my mind to vote for BO and I stand alone. Woman friends of mine are sending me smear emails about SP and I stand alone. My only friend through all of this is my republican mother who knows how women have always been seen as second class. Help! I want to get involved. I live in the getto in West Oakland so please don’t ask me to put a sign in my window. But I really would like to find other women who are awake and active. Where are the groups in the bay area? I love men, am married to one, but feel very alone with all of this.
