Obama Turning New Jersey Red? Say it ain’t so, Bruce!

 

UPDATE 9/16/08 AT 10:05am, eastern: BARACK OBAMA CALLING OUT THE SWIFT BOATS. ACCORDING TO JOSH MARSHALL AND NAMED PARTICIPANTS IN AN “URGENT” CONFERENCE CALL AMONG BIG DONC DONORS AND OPERATIVES LATE LAST WEEK, GROUPS ABLE TO PRODUCE “DRASTIC” ATTACK ADS AGAINST MCCAIN/PALIN HAD “GOTTEN THE MESSAGE FROM OBAMA THAT HE DOESN’T WANT SUCH ACTIVITY – [BUT] NOW RECOGNIZE THAT TEAM OBAMA IS PRIVATELY HOPING FOR SUCH EFFORTS TO GEAR UP IN EARNEST.” SO MUCH FOR THE HIGH ROAD, HUH? (NOT THAT MR. PERIODICALLY SWEETIE WAS EVER ON THE HIGH ROAD, BUT, HEY PERCEPTION IS EVERYTHING, AS OBAMA NOW LEARNS TO HIS EVERLASTING SHAME) (h/t to greenfun in comments.)

Today’s polls show a tie in Virginia, and McCain leading Obama in Pennsylvania, Ohio, Florida, and Colorado. Here’s the thing though: Obama’s lead in New Jersey is down to THREE POINTS. New freaking Jersey?? Wow. Remember back on June 5th (BEFORE it was too late; BEFORE Hillary was forced to suspend) when we said that Obama was headed for a LANDSLIDE 50-STATE LOSS? Here’s what we said then:

We must be united against the DNC’s usurpation of the will of Democratic voters. If they appoint Obama as the Democratic nominee, he will lose in a 50-state landslide. Don’t listen to the pundits or the polls. Listen to your own mind, your own common sense, and your own determination to turn this thing around.

All Pumas, please send an email to Howard Dean, chair of the Democratic National Committee right now @ howarddean@dnc.org

Tell him that we are Democrats who will not vote for Barack Obama for president. We will not support a “Unity Ticket” with Hillary Clinton as the vice-president. We will not donate one thin dime to the DNC or any of its affiliate organizations until they wake up, listen to the voices of the voters in ALL 50 states, and start distancing themselves from this disastrous nominee. 

Please copy and paste this letter into the body of your email and write “Puma democrat” after your signature so he knows who we are. By August he’ll be ruing the day he ever tried to dismiss our votes and our voices.

Seems like a lifetime ago, doesn’t it? We sure have been consistent. Hey Obama and the DONC! Don’t blame Sarah Palin. We’ve been warning you for months exactly what we intended to do if you continued on your path to destruction. And we WILL do it. Barack Obama will lose on November 4th because he attempted to destroy the strongest candidate our Party has seen in a generation (yes, she IS a stronger candidate than Bill circa 1992) and offended every decent Democrat in the United States with his divisiveness and disdain for the VOTERS.  

New Jersey going red?? Sing it, Bruce!

The local Obama campaign called yesterday. I’d just gotten home from work (after having a bad day) and when the guy said he was calling from the Obama headquarters, I cut him off and said in a rather nasty voice “Don’t EVEN bother!” To which he hurriedly replied OK and quickly hung up. I don’t think he wanted to go further than that…

Poll shows Obama’s lead in NY at 5 points
By The Associated Press – 23 hours ago

THE POLL: The Siena Research Institute, presidential race in New York of likely voters.

THE NUMBERS: Barack Obama 46 percent, John McCain 41 percent.

OF INTEREST: The lead is down from 18 points in June, when Obama led 51-33 percent over McCain in a Siena poll. New York, home of Obama’s main primary opponent, Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton, is solidly Democratic, with 5.5 million registered Democrats and 2.9 million registered Republicans. The state has 31 electoral votes.

sunshinelvr, please see kat in your hat #13.

yes, yes, and yes — we ARE doing it. Let’s repeat:

“OF INTEREST: The lead is down from 18 points in June, when Obama led 51-33 percent over McCain in a Siena poll. New York, home of Obama’s main primary opponent, Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton, is solidly Democratic, with 5.5 million registered Democrats and 2.9 million registered Republicans. The state has 31 electoral votes.”

Almost twice as many Democrats in New York than Republicans. And those are real, true-blue Puma Democrats. They are BASE of the Dem Party– not youngsters or limousine liberals who dabble in politics like they dabble at downhill skiing and vegetarianism. They are US.

Obama camp is so stupid, how they keep harping about McCain and emails.

Meanwhile, supposedly Bill and Hillary Clinton don’t use the internet.

Bill Clinton wrote his tome of an autobiography “My Life” BY HAND…he wrote it out on paper! It took many notebooks, but he did it.

So, the O camp may or may not know it, but they are also insulting the Clinton’s and about 20% of voters who do not use the internet.

(stupid Odohs)

Of course, we are having an impact. Murphy this is all thanks to you. I know everyone here was as devastated as I was when Hillary stepped out of the race. I cried. Then I got mad. Then I decided to get even. I am tired of being treated like as a woman that I am stupid and should not open my mouth. Well, the good Lord didn’t make me that way, he gave me a voice, a mouth to use it with, and the stubborness to carry a plan out. That’s why I am a PUMA!!!

NObama NEVER experience against a strong Republican candidate in Chicago. Alan Keyes was the opponent of NObama in Chicago for US Senate. Alan Keyes was forced to ran in Chicago (he was from Maryland) because Nobama’s opponent was involved in messy divorce and investigation. He won the election easily. We know the story of Alice Palmer.

His theme now is changing; from “change we can believe in” to “believers for Obama,” sounds very cultish to me, reminds me of David Koresh, the whacko from Waco, Texas. Even here in my state (Washington) NObama is losing steam, its now turning light blue like New Jersey. My radical state is usually very solid blue, not this year.

“The call was organized to let donors know that things are pretty serious and that if something is going to happen, it needs to happen fast,” Dem operative Mike Lux, president of the Dem firm Progressive Strategies and one of the call’s organizers, tells me.

“The message was that it’s pretty damn urgent,” continued Lux, who played a key role in raising money for outside groups in 2004. “We said we think that dramatic things need to happen.”

#37 Bella-Me on 09.16.08 at 10:02 am

Let’s see….. Biden tells a crippled man to stand.

Obama expects McCain, an injured vet….. to type on a keyboard.

I guess these two men have NO understanding or compassion to the disabled Americans.

An oversight of a crippled man in a wheel chair.
An oversight of a disabled veteran, McCain, unable to use his fingers to type just proves how out of touch these two men really are.

The Neocons’ Palin Project
By Patrick J. Buchanan

Will the neocons who tutored George W. Bush in the ideology he pursued to the ruin of his presidency do the same for Sarah Palin?

Should they succeed, they will destroy her. Yet, they are moving even now to capture this princess of the right and hope of the party.

In St. Paul, Palin was told to cancel a meeting with Phyllis Schlafly and pro-life conservatives. McCain’s operatives said Palin had to rest for her Wednesday convention speech.

Yet, on Tuesday, Palin was behind closed doors with Joe Lieberman and officials of the Israeli lobby AIPAC. There, according to The Washington Post, Palin took and passed her oral exams.

“Palin assured the group of her strong support for Israel, of her desire to see the United States move its embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem and of her opposition to Iran’s aspirations to become a
nuclear power, according to sources familiar with the meeting.”

AIPAC’s mission, like that of Likud, is to goad America into launching air and missile strikes on any and all Iranian nuclear facilities.

AIPAC went away happy. Purred spokesman Josh Block, “We were pleased that Gov. Palin expressed her deep personal commitment to the safety and well-being of Israel.”

Heading home to Alaska to prepare for her interview with Charlie Gibson, Palin was escorted by Randy Scheunemann, McCain’s foreign policy guru and, until March, a hired agent of the Tbilisi regime.

Scheunemann’s lobbying assignment: Bring Georgia into NATO, so U.S. troops, like 19-year-old Track Palin, will be required to fight Russia to defend a Saakashvili regime that has paid Randy and his partner $730,000.

Reportedly, a phone conversation was held between Saakashvili and Palin, in which Palin committed herself to the territorial integrity of Georgia, though South Ossetia and Abkhazia have declared independence and been recognized by Moscow, which now has troops in both.

Also on Palin’s plane was Steve Biegun, formerly of Bush’s National Security Council, and Scheunemann’s choice to tutor her. Of Biegun, Steven Clemens of the New American Foundation says, “He will turn
her into an advocate of Cheneyism and Cheney’s view of national security issues.”

During her interview with Gibson, Palin often took a neocon line. Three times she said that, should Israel decide to attack Iran, the United States should not “second guess” Israel’s decision or interfere.

This contradicts U.S. policy. Adm. Michael Mullen, chairman of the joint chiefs, has warned Israel not to attack Iran, as the United States does not want a “third front.” And the Pentagon is withholding crucial weapons the Israelis want and need to carry out any such attack.

Palin also volunteered that the Russian invasion was “unprovoked,” though Georgia attacked South Ossetia first. She followed up by saying that Georgia and Ukraine should be brought into NATO.

Would that mean America would have to go to war with Russia on behalf of Georgia in any new conflict, asked Gibson.

“Perhaps so,” said Palin.

Scheunemann should get a fat severance check from Saakashvili for that one.

One ex-White House aide at American Enterprise Institute, asked by Tim Shipman of the Daily Telegraph if AEI sees Palin as a “project,” replied: “Your word, not mine. … But I wouldn’t disagree with the sentiment. … She’s bright, and she’s a blank page. She’s going places, and it’s worth going there with her.”

In fairness to Palin, on issues like NATO membership for Ukraine and Georgia, her answers reflect the views of the man who chose her. She has no option at present but to follow the line laid down by Scheunemann.

But make no mistake. Sarah Palin is no neocon. She did not come by her beliefs by studying Leo Strauss. She is a traditionalist whose values are those of family, faith, community and country, not some utopian ideology.

Wasilla, Alaska, is not a natural habitat of neoconservatives.

And her unrehearsed answers to Gibson’s questions reveal her natural conservatism. Asked if she agrees with the Bush Doctrine, Palin asked for clarification. “In what respect, Charlie?”

Gibson: “Do we have the right of an anticipatory self-defense?”

Yes, said Palin, “if there is legitimate and enough intelligence that tells us that a strike is imminent against (the) American people, we have every right to defend our country. In fact, the president has the obligation, the duty to defend.”

Exactly. The intelligence must be legit and the threat “imminent.”

Interviewed by Alaska Business Monthly in March 2007 on the surge, Palin said, “I heard on the news about the new deployments, and while I support our president, I want to know that we have an exit plan in place.”

That is not the language of empire or “benevolent global hegemony.”

Palin may disappoint many conservatives in the next seven weeks by having to parrot the McCain-neocon line on NATO expansion, NAFTA and a “path to citizenship” for illegal aliens. But the battle for
Sarah’s soul is not over.

For, again, the lady is no neocon. Nor is the husband Todd, First Dude of Alaska and former member of the “Alaska First” Independence Party.

#42 Asian4Hillary on 09.16.08 at 10:05 am

Can you imagine a little 5 years old hugging his playmate and can be accuse of touching his playmate the wrong way. Where are we going to draw the line? It would be horrible a little child of being accuse doing something inappropriately. Children are very affectionate especially towards their playmates of the same age.

#43 kevink on 09.16.08 at 10:05 am

Hillary trounced BO in NJ. The only places he won were Newark and some fancy pants exurbs where Big Pharma resides. There are plenty of blue-collar Hillary voters in North Jersey that McCain/Palin can grab. At the very least, it would cause Nobama to spend tons of money on expensive TV ads in NYC.

I TOLD YOU SO

Do we need to do a follow-up Prowl on the Logan Act?

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.

#47 bobram on 09.16.08 at 10:10 am

As Murphy so well put it – Rasmussen today shows that McCain has a one point lead nationally over Obam -
and Colorado McCain – 48-46 – Florida 49-44 for McCain
Ohio is 48-45 for Mc – Penna and Va both a tie -
Letters to the editors of these states necessary -

I am starting to dedicate energy where it is known that it will be a close race as the above to include Indiana and Michigan and I guess even New Jersey -

Obam from polls of all polls shows a significant lead in Delaware – 3 Electorial Vote – Vermont – 3 Electorial Votes – Maine – 4 Electorial Votes – Hawaii – 4 Electorial Votes – Rhode Island – 4 Electorial Votes – but the biggies are Illinois 21 Votes – Massachusetts 12 Votes, California 55 Votes – New York 31 Votes – Maryland 10 Vote -

As in the caucus in the primaries – if we direct our attention to those States with the highest amount of electorial votes – this could be pulled away from Obam – of the 5 States today – at least the men got it right in their polls – they do not want Obam – we need to work on the women in Penna who are supporting Obam.

#48 Notyoursweetie on 09.16.08 at 10:10 am

Morning PUMAS!! Is that victory that I am smelling so strong in Nov!?!?! :)

Was on Real Clear Politics and read this, Here are a few excerpts that I thought would bring a smile to PUMAS!

Tucker’s a card, but you can’t argue that a McCain win, for liberals, will be the political equivalent of Black Friday back in 1929.

Tom Bevan, co-founder of Real Clear Politics, was succinct: “Two words: Hari Kari. The base of the [Democratic] party is so vested in its nominee…that to lose in November would be one of the most demoralizing in the modern era.”

Here is the full article:

Taxpayers bailed out Fannie Mae/Freddie Mac to the tune of $100 billion. Who voted for it? DEMOCRATS! Republicans were against it. Why punish the taxpayers for investors cooking up their book? The Democratic Party is TRUE ELITIST. They give people crumbs, but the big bulk goes to big corporations worth Billions and billions of dollars!

Hopefully there is not enough time for this to happen with the election being so close. I think the MSM will keep her going longer due to BO being such a ‘sensation’ for so long, kinda riding his media coat tails. Its about the $$. The repubs are making her ‘hard to get’ to with the media. So it should keep the focus on her. It always surprized me how long Bo was in the limelight.

ACCORDING TO JOSH MARSHALL AND NAMED PARTICIPANTS IN AN “URGENT” CONFERENCE CALL AMONG BIG DONC DONORS AND OPERATIVES LATE LAST WEEK, GROUPS ABLE TO PRODUCE “DRASTIC” ATTACK ADS AGAINST MCCAIN/PALIN HAD “GOTTEN THE MESSAGE FROM OBAMA THAT HE DOESN’T WANT SUCH ACTIVITY – [BUT] NOW RECOGNIZE THAT TEAM OBAMA IS PRIVATELY HOPING FOR SUCH EFFORTS TO GEAR UP IN EARNEST.” SO MUCH FOR THE HIGH ROAD, HUH? (NOT THAT MR. PERIODICALLY SWEETIE WAS EVER ON THE HIGH ROAD, BUT, HEY PERCEPTION IS EVERYTHING, AS OBAMA NOW LEARNS TO HIS EVERLASTING SHAME) (h/t to greenfun in comments.)

NObama has a problem not just with conservative and moderate democrats, he also has a problem with extreme leftwingnuts; when he VOTED FOR FISA which he promised he would vote against, they withdraw their support from him. You would see a lot of extreme leftwingers voting for Nader this election.

NObama do not have the support of the base of the democratic party which is US, he relies on AA and independent voters, the problem with independent voters they prefer McCain over him, great example of that was New Hampshire last primary.

#71 murphy on 09.16.08 at 10:36 am

Asian4Hillary #68. exactly right. That’s why I call us the ones no one was expecting.

Obama and the DONC’s strategy was that once he had been selected as the nominee he would be FORCED to tack right in order to pick up Independents and disaffected Republicans. In so doing he would necessarily lose a small but still significant number of far-left voters. What was SUPPOSED to happen was all of us so-called “Hillary supporters” would rush back in at Obama’s hour of need to staunch the flow of the left-wing exodus. They expected us to fall in line; to be cowered by the Roe bat; and to fill in the left-wing gaps he would need to make to appeal to centrist voters in Swing States.

oops. They NEVER expected us to do what we are doing.

Remember one of our favorite Ghandi quotes from the early days:

“First they ignore you; then they ridicule you; then they attack you; then you win.” ?

They ignored us in June; Ridiculed us in July; Attacked us in August. and

WE WIN IN SEPTEMBER.

#73 Asian4Hillary on 09.16.08 at 10:36 am

Murphy

In my state, the shift is truly amazing; in the middle of primary election all you can hear people talk about how great is NObama. After the primary there was dead silence, people doesn’t want to talk about him anymore. It was his vote for FISA, an ultimate BETRAYAL for those that supported him during primary in this state. When I had my small party, the biggest axe they have against NObama was FISA. People in Washington State are very particular about their right to privacy like people in Alaska. Before Palin come into the picture change have taken place, now its getting deeper with Palin as VP pick of McCain. There’s probability McCain will carry Washington State in general election, Alaska and Washington are sister state.

They are really really sweating now.

#75 MJT on 09.16.08 at 10:43 am

I’m one of those Democrats that don’t pay much attention to polls. I saw polls putting Obama ahead in North Carolina by three points. I live there and know better. In my District there are only about three people saying they will vote for Obama. This goes back three or four months, yet the polls kept showing Obama ahead. I think McCain is ahead in all states (not showing that much in polls). I have friends and relatives in many states and the majority is solid behind McCain, that was before he chose Palin as VP. People I talk to love Palin mostly because she is a Washington outsider, intelligent, not especially controlled by any party, experienced in what counts. I think people all over the country are starting to wake up to what Obama is, and the influence Pelosi will have on him if he is elected. At least, that’s what people are saying to me. They seem to fear Pelosi as much as they do Obama. The media is still desperately trying to spin Obama but having a harder and harder time doing it.

You know in any other situation I would agree. However, we are dealing with Carpathia here. Every time he makes a sexist remark it will strengthen PAlin and put her backm in the spotlight.
Considering he and his cronies rely on sexism as a weapon, we will see the Palin factor all the way through the general. Imho anyway.

#79 KarenWI on 09.16.08 at 10:46 am

#37 you bring up a point I was thinking of. I wish there could be ads out showing Biden saying that to the handicapped vet; and then a clip of the ad against McCain with the newpaper clipping of why he can’t type. Then end with something like “Obama-Biden: not respectful of those who were handicapped defending our country. Do you really want them as commander in chief?” By the way, did any of you see Hannity on tv last night with the lady who survived a botched abortion? Wow. I wish I could’ve seen that whole ad she’s in, find out who put out that ad, and where it’s being shown. That is one POWERFUL idea. I may be wrong here, but I think even those who are prochoice would be aghast at the idea of letting a baby who is out of the womb, and survived the abortion, should just suffer and die alone of neglect.

#80 Asian4Hillary on 09.16.08 at 10:46 am

The difference between McCain and NObama is this:

NObama = A warm soothing cup of chocolate you sip as you sit dreaming in front of a fire on a cold winters day.

McCain = That cup of coffee you drink in the morning to wake you up and face your day. :lol:

Just want you all to know I’m working hard to flip NJ Red. I wanna see Obama get crushed. When first I saw him four years ago, I thought smooth talker… no substance.

I’m an independent, but I admire the way PUMAs are working hard for honesty in politics. Most of you may be Democrats, but I think you are also having a big impact on the Republicans. I look to a future of better, more capable, more honest politicians on both sides. Politicians that actually listen to those that they serve. PUMAs are helping make that possible.

Thank you.

The CBS article about the waning of Sarah Palin’s star said one thing I totally disagree with:

“Gibson, as dignified a newsperson as America has now, treated Palin fairly and didn’t resort to hectoring her with “gotcha” questions, either.”

That’s bull, because in most every other interview I’ve seen, the interviewer always explains what the Bush doctrine is (for example) so that the viewers know what they are talking about. Gibson purosefully didn’t do that in order to make Palin look like she didn’t know what he was talking about.

Oh, I forgot to report on the “good news”, last night at work CNN was on (between 8 – 9 p.m.) with a panel of four men and are you ready for this…

They are going to have to start reporting on *61…the real *61! They said they are going to tell him that they will not be covering him like before; not give his “stops” the coverage that they have if *61 will not allow them to interview him without being scripted! They will not be accepting *61′s “talking points for their people when they interview or cover him.”

They said the American people need to know the “real” *61 and all about his past!

What a great day today is!! We need to keep up sending e-mails to the networks so they really do keep their words.

NO WAY NO HOW NOBAMA…NOW OR EVER!

I know this has been posted before but, I’ll put it here for anyone that wants it.
Keep spreading it. :)
Charlie Gibson interviewed Obama and Palin. Below are the questions. Who do you think is being vetted and who is the media hiding and treating with kid gloves?

Obama interview:

How does it feel to break a glass ceiling?
How does it feel to %u201Cwin%u201D?
How does your family feel about your %u201Cwinning%u201D breaking a glass ceiling?
Who will be your VP?
Should you choose Hillary Clinton as VP?
Will you accept public finance?
What issues is your campaign about?
Will you visit Iraq?
Will you debate McCain at a town hall?
What did you think of your competitor%u2019s [Clinton] speech?

Palin interview:

Do you have enough qualifications for the job you%u2019re seeking?
Specifically have you visited foreign countries and met foreign leaders?
Aren%u2019t you conceited to be seeking this high level job?
Questions about foreign policy
-territorial integrity of Georgia
-allowing Georgia and Ukraine to be members of NATO
-NATO treaty
-Iranian nuclear threat
-what to do if Israel attacks Iran
-Al Qaeda motivations
-the Bush Doctrine
-attacking terrorists harbored by Pakistan
Is America fighting a holy war? [misquoted Palin]

#93Asian4Hillary: So glad you do! Do you remember the brand she sent? Probably French Market, CDM, or Luzianne..Does your aunt still live here?
Do you know how chicory in coffee got to be a tradition here?
After the War Between the States, coffee like so much else was unavailable, so people started drying things like chicory, even sweet potatoes to make mixes of faux coffee to drink…When coffee became available long after, a shot of chicory was added because it does in fact add a bite and zap up the coffee flavor! And people had come to like the zap.

Goodmorning #234 ladyhawkke,
This is in response to what you posted downstairs.

To keep things balanced, here’s some opposing viewpoints on the ANWR issue.

“Given the phenomenal national press coverage focused on the Gwich’in Indian ANWR position, the uninformed can only assume they live at ground zero on ANWR’s coastal plain and that their lives and cultures would be destroyed by any development there. To the contrary, the coastal plain is home only to the Inupiat Eskimos of the City of Kaktovik, population 260, who support development.

George Tagarook, Kaktovik’s vice-mayor since October 2001, eloquently explains how this issue has been misrepresented in his article entitled ANWR Reality Lies Far North of Gwich’in. In Kaktovik, a community survey (January 2000) showed 78% of residents supported ANWR development. For background, a history of the coastal plain is given in Alaskan Natives Support Development, and Tara MacLean Sweeney explains how the Inupiats’ views have been ignored in the ANWR debate.”

Read here for more …

#234 ladyhawkke on 09.16.08 at 7:17 am

“also not to drill in ANWR. I am totally against drilling there. Most people don’t realize the daily destruction that takes place and to say it is a tiny area and won’t be impacted is not true. The area they are speaking about, as has been stated before by BlueJay, is home to the Gwich’in indians. The indians are fighting to save their land and the key migration paths of the caribou. I signed my letter and then hand-printed P.U.M.A. to he side. I posted my letter to him yesterday. Please take a look at the website to see for yourself.”

Goodmorning Susie1945, in response to #294 post from downstairs, …

you and others may find this article from National Review a good read …

“What Was Feminism?
The media treatment of Sarah Palin reveals four ugly truths about the new feminism.

By Victor Davis Hanson

The media went hysterical over Sarah Palin, governor of Alaska and Republican nominee for vice president. She may have appeared to the public as an independent, capable professional woman, but to a particular elite she couldn’t possibly be a real feminist or even a serious candidate. And that raises questions about what is — and what is not — feminism.”

HP Boston #98, Howdy Neighbor!

Why on earth would we sue you??

You are right. this is not an ant-abortion site. Puma PAC is 100% committed to reproductive freedom, just like Hillary Clinton.

Medical horror stories are ghastly. They inflame our emotions. Stories of unlikely survival inflame our empathy and admiration. How could they not??

However, we are rational, thinking citizens who know that the era of forced pregnancy is long gone. No woman, republican or democrat, is going back to those dark ages.

Sarah Palin can claim to be pro-life, anti-abortion whatever, all she wants. The cold, hard fact is that she has reaped ALL the benefits of reproductive choice and MADE THE CHOICE to give birth five times.

The anti-abortion argument has become incoherent. Every woman of child-bearing age in America today entered her child-bearing years AFTER THE BIRTH CONTROL PILL AND AFTER ROE v WADE. It is NONSENSE for any woman to claim to NOT BE pro-choice. It’s like an American MIT professor living in LEXINGTON MASSACHUSETTS (avg home price $800,000) (yes, I’m looking at you Noam Chomsky) claiming to be an anarchist. hogwash.

If you claim to be an anarchist and you’re not living in Darfur right now, I’m not buying it.

If you claim to be an anti-choice woman and you’re not living on the FLDS Farm right now or in Uganda, I’m not buying it.

NEW ORLEANS PUMA – thanks for noticing my post -what I will be working on this week is exactly what I posted earlier – those states where polls show McCain ahead by double digits or high single digits -hopefully will remain – Idaho, Wyoming, Ga, Ky, W. Va, Nebraska, S. Dak. Arizona, Miss, Utah Kansas – those States that are key for McCain to get the electoral votes – Va Co Mich, Penna, Fl, Ohio need action – by that go to http://www.usnpl.com or http://www.publishaletter.com and write your heart out to the editors – or as I do – go to the individual newspaper on line – look for political articles about either candidate – sign up to post on their site and post away – did that for Hillary during the primaries – and its amazing how much you get to the public that way – of course you will have to go against the OBOTS – but still there will be people listening to what you have to say.

Its all about electoral votes now – if we can not turn the big states of California and New York, Illinois and Massachusetts – will have to make it up elsewhere -

Anyway – I am going to do extensive research on the STATES that he has to win the electoral votes and publish it later on this week.

The people who watch CNN are all already in the tank for Obama and it won’t matter whether or not CNN spends 5,10, 15, or 20 minutes a day covering “the real” Obama. CNN went after the Clintons and EVERY SINGLE CLINTON VOTER EVERY SINGLE NIGHT. I’ve been called a racist enough by CNN and Campbell Brown and Donna Brazile that I don’t think they’ll actually do sh-t with any of those people on there.

Oh, Just one thing I wanted to thank DanceswithPumas publically for sending me the pictures of my grand daughters and I at Puma HQ, they are wearing the shirts Murphy gave them. I was so happy because I lost my camera at the Chris Mathhews protest, and lost all my Puma pictures of the first 3 days in Denver. It was the best gift I have got in a long long time.
Thanks again Sis!

#106 snowtiger No, I did caught towards the end when they were summarizing their stands. One man was heavy set with blondish hair.

I was so shocked when I heard them say that *61 has been giving them “talking points” to talk to him…that was a shock! But they will go along with it no more. One of them said it makes them “look bad.”

God Bless America, Murphy and all PUMAS that have stood firm for Country First!

After we win this battle, watch out Congress…we will be heard and your votes will reflect us not special interests!

Hi Donna,

Just wanted to thank you for the demise of the Democratic party as we once knew it, and thanks for getting us excited about getting involved in politics. Thanks for making us take notice and most of all, Donna, thanks for bring to light who the Under Belly of the DEM party really is……

We appreciate all you have done for us. We can now say we are reaping the rewards of our fight and we owe it ALL to you……..

Yours Truly, (not really)

First of all, my “Blog” is to post what I want to address and be able to piss and moan about! It is no way stabbing Murphy in the heart! Murphy is a big girl and if she has a problem with it she know’s who I am and can speak for herself! I am not out to “STEAL PUMA’sfrom this blog! And as I responded to you, since you are not woman/man enough to say who you are, last time I checked, this is a “FREE COUNTRY!”

To whoever commented, you are a ridiculous twit! Don’t like my blog? Then don’t read it!

Murphy, if you have an issue with me, or not, starting my “own” blog, please set this straight here. I’m sorry I have to even address such a “STUPID” issue! grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!!!!!!!!!!!!

#144 KarenWI on 09.16.08 at 11:40 am

Re my #79 post earlier….. I was not talking anti abortion. I was talking about the “born alive” law that almost very dem in congress voted FOR including Pelosi… to protect a baby who had survived an abortion. This same law was one (identical to the one congress passed almost unanimously) that Obama voted against in IL. This was what that ad was talking about… that law that Obama voted against, and ALMOST everyone in congress voted for. In defense of my post, I am not sure why I am being attacked as being against abortion, when this is (as I stated in post #79) something that almost everybody in congress whether prochoice OR prolife saw as a good law and Obama saw as a bad one. Please explain why I am being accused of sticking out like a sore thumb and being anti abortion for saying something like this?

#15 Murphy
I am not someone who has ever idolized movie stars, rock stars,etc (or liars), but I was a fan of Bruce Springsteen. I love his lyrics, like his commitment to working class ideals, and down-home attitude even as a star. However, he has gone over to the other side with BO, and I have to “wipe that man right out of my hair”.
Regarding voter fraud, as I mentioned a couple of days ago, I received an absentee ballot application although I didn’t request it. I am a life-long Dem, have lived in this house for 42 yrs. and I have never asked for nor have I been sent one. It made me wonder if someone had marked my poll information, sent me the application, and knowing that I wouldn’t respond to it, sent one in for me, having my ballot mailed to Tim-buk-to, OH. Yesterday I called my election board and inquired about my voting status, I was assured that nothing says I’m an absentee voter and that they have procedures in place to prevent my voting twice!!! Well. I want to make sure that when I vote in person at my regular polling place that there is no question which vote I want to count. Also, I asked what I could do to make sure that they have it on record that if an application shows up in my name, that it is fraudulent. The lady I talked to said I was being paranoid, but I said I have every reason to be paranoid this year. Her answer was that I should call the Dem. Party. Yikes, ask the fox if my vote is safe. I asked her for the Republican party number. Called them and they were also “paranoid”, said that they would have the party chairman get right on it, and make sure that my and others are not being scammed out of their votes. The ballots do not go out until about 3 weeks before the election, so I plan to call my election board back and make sure that I’ve still got my vote.
By the way, the election board told me that they did not send out that absentee ballot, that it came from a Dem. campaign,

Good for you starting your own blog! I have often thought it would be good to have an extra place to go sometimes to be able to caps locks scream out my opinion.

I usually just stay here and call my sister to vent LOL.

Also, if one were to look at JSND, you will find a host of sites and I am willing to bet that not all “PUMA-like” sites are there ! Many if us float between a few sites. This is not competition between sites but folks expressing their political beliefs with the tools they have and folks going out and seeking where they can best fit in and participate, learn and be a part of the political process. Just my thoughts on this.

On KarenWI:

She was not an advocate for anti- abortion in her above post. She was absolutely right, in my opinion, about the young lady who was on FOX yesterday. That young lady survived an abortion and if the doctor had been present she would have been left to die of worse could have been suffocated. In the doctor’s absence the nurse called 9-1-1 and the hospital saved the infant.
I’m not anti-abortion either,nor am I pro-abortion.

I used to enjoy Barry Horomitz’s music too. Aka bruce springsteen. That was until the “We are the World ” video was made.
Barry showed up in his limo and complained, along with others that the shoot wasn’t catered. Almost wound up being canceled over that until the producer asked the complainers how they would feel when the story broke.
If you remeber those days it mightb come to mind how many othe people in the video suddenly disappeared from the fund raising efforts after that. “The Boss” being just one who suddenly had other “commitments”.
Bruce is and has always been a fraud imho.

Re: Senator Obama’s violation of THE LOGAN ACT*

Dear Senate Ethics Committee:

I am again writing to ask you to conduct an investigation into Senator Barak Obama for possible violations of the Logan Act.

(1) During his trip to the Middle East, as well as conduct unbecoming a United States Senator for his political campaigning in foreign countries.
If Obama’s trip to Israel was official fact-finding and not campaigning, why do Obama supporters there have large official Obama campaign banners up? Please see the following link showing Obama supporters with campaign signs written in Hebrew.
http://sweetness-light.com/archive/obama-campaigned-at-western-wall
(2) McCain Responds to Obama’s Reported Undermining of the Commander-In-Chief During Wartime [Andy McCarthy]
The McCain Campaign has issued a statement responding to the report from Amer Taheri (see today’s web briefing) that Sen. Obama secretly negotiated with the Iraqi government regarding U.S. withdrawal from Iraq. McCain spokesman Randy Scheunemann stated as follows:
“At this point, it is not yet clear what official American negotiations Senator Obama tried to undermine with Iraqi leaders, but the possibility of such actions is unprecedented. It should be concerning to all that he reportedly urged that the democratically-elected Iraqi government listen to him rather than the US administration in power. If news reports are accurate, this is an egregious act of political interference by a presidential candidate seeking political advantage overseas. Senator Obama needs to reveal what he said to Iraq’s Foreign Minister during their closed door meeting. The charge that he sought to delay the withdrawal of Americans from Iraq raises serious questions about Senator Obama’s judgment and it demands an explanation. “
I have not received a response to my previous fax and ask that you please investigate this matter and respond to me.
Thank You, (Name, Address)

*Any citizen of the United States, wherever he may be, who, without authority of the United States, directly or indirectly commences or carries on any correspondence or intercourse with any foreign government or any officer or agent thereof, with intent to influence the measures or conduct of any foreign government or of any officer or agent thereof, in relation to any disputes or controversies with the United States, or to defeat the measures of the United States, shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than three years, or both.

I am working hard in North and Central Jersey. BTW… I have been using these articles from Investors Business Daily. Great detail on who Obama is and the damage his policies would inflict. I’ve been successful in getting people off the fence. Even got two Obots to flip. Which was a shock. Facts are like kryponite to an Obot.

IBD keeps coming out with more editorials good editorials every week on Obama, McCain, Palin, Biden. I’m thinking of creating a PDF with all the IBD highlights and emailing it and handing it out.

btw: Independent, Hillary supporter, NObama, but think comments about the beliefs of someone else is out of place when our main job in fighting the stolen nomination and the dangers to our party. Abortion, race, religion, etc. should not be a factor in this fight’
Assert your authority and keep people on task; we are running out of time.

Polls looking good, we have Hope WE can believe in. But Change can be swift and we could lose.

Thanks for the hard work and long hours you put in; we are ALL happy to be able to come here and share the information.

#199 Asian4Hillary on 09.16.08 at 12:13 pm

For NObama to go to Iraq and ask Foreign Minister Hoshyar Zebari to stall withdrawal of our troops is downright EVIL. He doesn’t care about the welfare of our soldiers or their safety, he is all for this ONLY for HIS SELF. Arrogant freaking ARSEHOLE!

My nephew is leaving for Iraq this week, I worry about his safety but I understand he must do his duty as member of our Armed Forces. His two cousins are already in Iraq.

For NObama to go to Iraq asking to stall the withdrawal of our troops is making me angry. I want to slap him silly until he would look like an freaking old shirt not even fit to wipe my kitchen floor!

I, for one, have never stated that the Gwich’in live IN the 1002 lands. However, the tiny area on the coastal plain known as the 1002 lands is the site of the ONLY birthing ground of the Porcupine Caribou herd, upon which the Gwich’in depend upon for their very lives.

The Gwich’in live in the far north, near the refuge, their villages scattered all along the migratory path of the caribou herd. For thousands of years, they have relied upon this herd as their primary source of sustenance. Each spring, the herd makes its way northward in a massive migration to their SOLE birthing grounds along the northern coastal plain – the 1002 lands. Nature, in her infinite wisdom, has helped to make this the most ideal place for the caribou to give birth. The insects, which torture the caribou in other areas, and can actually devour a newborn, are mercifully at their lowest concentration in this northern coastal plain, mainly because of the thin band of coastal winds. The rest of the coastal plain, Prudhoe Bay for example, has already been taken over by the oil industry. This small section of the refuge is all that is left in that area. There is no other place for the caribou to successfully give birth that would allow the Gwich’in to remain in their homeland. If the caribou herd is forced to change their migratory path, or die out without the intrinsic protection of the northern coastal plain, then the Gwinch’in will indeed lose their life as they know it.

I really have no problem with the people who disagree with me on this issue . . . they are absolutely free to do so. What I DO have a problem with is when people make ridiculous arguments without ever taking the time to find out even the basic information. For example, there is one poster here who has argued that this whole thing is a hoax, and that there are no Native Americans living in Alaska. That sort of ignorance is makes me crazy.

It had always been intended that the 1002 lands receive permanent protection. A loophole in the Act left that small area vulnerable, a fact that has been exploited by the oil lobby. President Carter, for one, had vowed to pass the resolution for permanent protection before he left office, but it didn’t happen.

Hillary Clinton has also worked very hard toward the permanent protection of the entire refuge.

Here’s another article regarding the plight of the Gwich’in that I recently came across:

Hey, Barry, you CAN judge a man by the company he keeps!

Did Bernadine and Bill let you try on the rings that the North Vietnamese presented to them (made from the metal of downed US Military Aircraft)?

From: ttp://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/2083301/posts

“Even before Weatherman began its notorious bombing campaign, the group’s future leaders had formed relationships with others who shared their hatred for “Amerikkka.”

Bernadine Dohrn made numerous contacts with Fidel Castro’s Cuban Mission at the UN in 1968 and 1969, during which time she arranged for SDS groups to visit Havana.

After returning from Cuba, Dohrn and others met with North Vietnamese and Viet Cong representatives in Budapest, Hungary, to discuss antiwar strategy on US campuses. Speaking a few days later at an assembly of revolutionary student movements at Columbia University, Dohrn reported that the Vietnamese communists she met in Budapest were working with US GIs in Saigon, attempting to obtain military information.

As a gesture of solidarity, the Vietnamese who Dohrn met in Budapest presented her with a ring made from an American aircraft shot down over North Vietnam. Bill Ayers would receive a similar ring while meeting with Vietnamese communists in Toronto. He later recalled being so moved by the gesture that he “left the room to cry.” He said, “I realized…America was an evil… and that I was… living inside the belly of the beast….”

#219 KarenWI on 09.16.08 at 12:37 pm

I’m not sure what to think about ANWR…. as we’ve learned from Palin, the people in AK are dependent upon the wildlife for food to survive there. Therefore, keeping their habitat safe for their wildlife is VITAL to them. And yet it is the Alaskan people who are the strongest supporters of drilling in Alaska. Why? They MUST feel that it would keep their wildlife safe, or they wouldn’t be doing it. I guess my personal train of thought about ANWR is this…. those who life there, and who depend on the wildlife being untouched for them to have food to survive, should be the ones to decide whether to drill there or not. If they are against it, don’t do it. If they are for it, then who are we to be against it? My personal opinion only here.

#220 sistermoon3 on 09.16.08 at 12:37 pm

For all of you still debating here about ANWR, we have made huge techology changes since 30 years ago, let’s continue to listen to Sarah Palin explain this issue, she does live there afterall. Do you really think she would want her state’s enviornment destroyed?

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

on another note, here’s what Black Barry (barak) said on this phone with the Iraqi leader before he went to Iraq

“I emphasized to him how encouraged I was by the reductions in violence in Iraq, but also insisted that it is important for us to begin the process of withdrawing U.S. troops, making clear that we have no interest in permanent bases in Iraq,” the senator said. “I gave him an assurance that should we be elected, an Obama administration will make sure that we continue with the progress that’s been made in Iraq, that we won’t act precipitously, but that we will move to end U.S. combat forces in Iraq in a manner that’s as careful as we were careless getting in.”
~~~~~~~~~
is this not undermining what our President was doing, even before the visit and the ‘delaying troops withdrawl” til after the elections…?

I agree!! The BO Campaign is very, very worried in N.C. They came to my house and had all my and my husbands voter registration information. They wanted to know who we were voting for. First he asked who I was voting for and when I answered McCain/Palin, he had enough nerve to ask who my husband was voting for!!! As if I would live in a divided home!! This made red flags go up and I have concerns about their having my information knowing that I am voting as a reg. Dem for Rep. I think they are already up to something here.

OMG I cannot believe what I just heard come out of Obama’s mouth (then again maybe I do) as he is currently speaking I “believe” in Colorado. In referring to this Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac and Lehman Brother collapse he says, and I quote, “This isn’t 9-11, we know how we got into this mess”. Sounds eerily familiar to the teachings of Reverend Wright and his views of 9-11. He has taught his disciples well.

We do not owe anyone from the Obama camp any information. The hell with them and their sleze. Actually, from this point on, I would and will do everything I can do to give them disinformation or nothing. I tell people like this: that is my business, not yours and hang up or close the door. This is especially true regarding absentee voting. For all you know these people can forge an absentee vote and by the time you get to the polls, you have already voted! Please everyone be very careful here.

Great post KarenWI. The links that I posted were articles from people that live there and that’s exactly the point that they are making.

We have a LOT of NATURAL GAS to support this country for 60 years. We must use it NOW instead of leaving it there, in Alaska alone they’re sitting on big natural gas deposit. Building natural gas pipeline (Alaska to lower 48) is already approved by Governor Palin, the state of Alaska already give $500 million (seed money) for the company who will build the pipeline. The Natural Gas Pipeline will be owned by the State of Alaska not by oil companies. We must start converting to renewable energy now, within 10 years majority of our energy would be renewable. In UK they use diesel for their vehicles, some people are now mixing their diesel with cooking oil (60% diesel, 40% cooking oil). They use straight diesel on winter time only. If people do research in the internet they’d see how engine that uses diesel can use cooking oil for their vehicle. :)

Looks like Obama got caught in another whopper. Recall that Obama went on TV to tell the world he never stood against the “born alive” legislation, and that anyone saying otherwise was a liar. Turned out that Obama in fact voted against providing life saving measures to infants born alive in the abortion process.

Obama has taken a similar bent with his support of a bill that McCain said provided sex ed down to the K level. Obama again said that was a lie and that what the bill only provided was instructions on avoiding sexual predators. The MSM quickly picked up on that meme, apparently without checking the law.

A thorough analysis on what the law said, and its background:

http://article.nationalreview.com/?q=NzI3ZDUzOTE0ZThlMTU3MTY0MDI4ZTY0MTZhY2I2MGY=

That is one where I’ll bet Obama wishes he voted “present”. Whether you believe in sex ed at the K level or not, the real issue here is Obama’s attempts to bury his past record on issues that now don’t play well in the mainstream. What a snake – I wonder how many skins he has shed this week?

#249 BillieJo on 09.16.08 at 1:14 pm

Article back in Feb claims Clinton was going to try and grab Obama’s pledged delegates and that pledged delegates are not bound to a candidate.

Article Pledged delegates are not really pledged at all, not even on the first ballot. This has been an open secret in the party for years, but it has never really mattered because there has almost always been a clear victor by the time the convention convened.

But not this time. This time, one candidate may enter the convention leading by just a few pledged delegates, and those delegates may find themselves being promised the sun, moon and stars to switch sides.

“I swear it is not happening now, but as we get closer to the convention, if it is a stalemate, everybody will be going after everybody’s delegates,” a senior Clinton official told me Monday afternoon. “All the rules will be going out the window.”

http://www.politico.com/news/stories/0208/8583.html

Why do I bring this up now? Because this means the voters in the primary really have no say on who wins at the convention, and maybe if Hillary knows this, might be why she tossed in the towel in Denver.

#252 mzebest on 09.16.08 at 1:18 pm

Just came on to post a few news items I saw this morning. I haven’t read through the posts — so forgive me is this is duplicate news.

First: I saw them get a really old lady out of the audience at a Biden rally (I’m sure she was an attempt to appeal to PUMA’s or their perception of what us PUMA’s look like). She gets up to the podium and is asked what she thinks of Palin. To which, this elderly woman replies, “She’s an empty sack of fluff,” or something to that nature.

Is this the higher politics that Obama aspires to? I’ve never seen such a disgraceful display of crap.

The second item everyone needs to be made aware of if they hadn’t seen or heard the report. On Fox — Hemmer (is that his name?) had some guy on the phone from Palin’s area talking about the Troopergate problem. The man on the phone said that things were supposed to move along smoothly and everyone supports Palin and there was a panel of independent neutral people that were picked that are supposed to review the case. But Obama sent in a team of Obama supporters (that have a predetermined outcome for this thing) — and they are trying to replace the panel members with the Obama supporter people. Palin is not recognizing them. So if you hear reports from MSM that Palin is refusing to resolve this thing… that’s the real scoop behind the MSM talking points.

We need to get the word out on the truth about this. Can No Quarter, Riverdaughter, and other coalition sites report on this latest trickery from the Obama camp. The guy on the phone mentioned the Obamabots that are infiltrating this investigation are people that are well known on the Obama website for endorsing Obama.

So, according to the FL state Democratic party, you would have to see the list in your capital but it is a privacy issue to list the voting to the public?
Unless you make the trip to Tallahassee to look at them yourself, you have no idea if they are even there.

Another PUMA in another state was told that their state’s Demo party did not have the tallies, that the DNC has them.

He sounded like he was desperate for help to get the Obama people out of this investigation… that they were causing more problems than anyone in the media could imagine. It sounded like he was discovering for the first time the level of meanness associated with Obama and it frightened him.

#249 BillieJoe With the exception of those states like CA that are bound by law to vote for the person who won the most pledged delegates.

I am from California and besides a ‘pass’ at the convention to spoil the momentum, some switched to Obama in the count.
Maybe this is a waste of time at this point to even try to find out how delegates really voted? I can only try to pressure Calif but if other PUMAs aren’t interested in this……one lone voter isn’t going to change anything.

Obama refuses to share to bolster other Dems running in Novmeber:

http://www.politico.com/news/stories/0908/13485.html

All he is giving them is permission to use his name! Last time I checked, Obama was pulling the rest of the Democratic ticket down with him – the congressional polls for November were rapidly slipping for democrats. Perhaps the only way using Obama’s name would help another Dem’s chances in November is if they started attacking him!

#235… Like I said, I don’t know what to think. We know that all the food that Alaskans get is either shipped in or put in their freezers from hunting. Therefore keeping the wild game is VITAL to their survival. I can’t help but wonder at the accuracy of that page, because it seems really odd that Alaskans as a whole (not just Palin) are for drilling. If you listened to her speech when she arrived back in in AK last week (was it last week? LOL) you would have heard her say she would tell them to drill in AK and would have heard the wild, excited cheer that went long and loud there from the Alaskans. There must be SOME reason why they, who already have drilling done there, feel confident that it wouldn’t threatent the wildlife that they need to survive on. Again, I go back to my original statement. Let those who live there, and need the game to survive, decide. We shouldn’t be deciding FOR them when it is the very food on their table that is involved. Take a vote maybe… if the vote indicates that the majority of them want driling there (as it SEEMS to indicate), then DRILL. Why are we deciding this FOR them when it is their land and their food?

Maybe this is a waste of time at this point to even try to find out how delegates really voted? I can only try to pressure Calif but if other PUMAs aren’t interested in this……one lone voter isn’t going to change anything.
—————————————————–
It isn’t a waste of time! We never want to see a travesty of this nature happen again. If anything, you might want to adjust your timing… that is, pursue the matter after we completely defeat Ogoddamnamerika.
But, I think the matter is of utmost importance. I didn’t take the time to vote just so some chosen delegates could ignore it.

“one lone voter isn’t going to change anything”
Whaaa? Gandhi was one lone voter. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. was one lone voter. Darragh Murphy is one lone voter. Riverdaughter is one lone voter. LadyBoomer is one lone voter. All PUMAs are lone voters.
One person with an idea can maniifest a movement of like minded lone voters. Take heart. Carry on. We support you!

#282 texassherry on 09.16.08 at 1:42 pm

I agree with you view on ANWR. I also like McCain’s view that offshore drilling should be left to the states that they border. This is my opinion and not necessarily the view of Pumapac. I only speak for myself so if anyone disagrees that is fine. We all have a right to our own opinions.

Greetings to you all. Stopping by to encourage folks to take a look at these suggestions for what we can do – apart from applaud the failure of the fraudulent candidate the current DNC foisted upon us – to make sure that we rid the DNC of Howard Dean, who is clinging to his post as we all laugh at him and to make sure that the Clinton wing of the Party remains empowered.

Oh, and I’m from NJ and when Springsteen endorsed Obama I realized I would never feel the same about Bruce again. And, right when I returned from Denver I heard first hand from a NJ superdelegate about how Corzine and NJ State Dem chair got up and told all the delegates in the state’s morning meeting – uh, coercion session – that it was in the Party’s best interest for everybody to vote for Obama on the first ballot.

Two posts I respectfully suggest reading: http://tdg.typepad.com/heidi_lis_potpourri/2008/09/want-to-fix-the-broken-democratic-party-steps-you-can-take-now.html

Re: The Sarah Palin Phenomenom Is Doomed.

Blatant wishful thinking. Every time the MSM even mentions Sarah Palin, it increases her impact. The only thing they could try would be a media blackout, but that wouldn’t work either. And Fox’s ratings would go out the roof, because they will keep covering her. It’s obvious that Greta loves the Palins. Then there will be the debates, where she will most likely disembowel Biden.

#289 they would get jobs there… no doubt about it. However, if it’s a choice between jobs and food, which would you choose? I guess everything I’ve heard (and this could be wrong) is that so many Alaskans are so proud of the pristine beauty of their land, not counting the dependence on the wild game. If things from drilling were as bad as that page indicated, surely they would know that, wouldn’t they? I mean…. I just can’t fathom them pushing for something that would not only destroy the pristine beauty that they are so proud of (plus their tourist industry as a result), but also their endanger their lives by not having the game needed to survive. It’s possible, of course. However, I stil think… it’s their land that they see every day and live off of… let them decide. Personal opinion only.

would that explain why an alaskan resident would want to forward with additional drilling – that it would increase their income?

#301 KarenWI on 09.16.08 at 1:54 pm

By the way, the $1200 per person (or house I don’t know) isn’t for a new pipeline in AK… it is already passed into law because all of the excess money that the state has in it’s account from all of their natural resources there. Gov Palin is just sharing some of the excess of money with the residents (isn’t that unusual?)… this MAY be what post #289 was referring to?

Iraqi Foreign Minister Hoshyar Zebari has apparently revealed that the centerpiece of Barack Obama’s conversation with Iraqi leaders in July was his hope of delaying the draw-down of American military forces in Iraq. Zebari’s recounts that Obama “asked why we were not prepared to delay an agreement until after the US elections and the formation of a new administration in Washington.” Obama also reportedly insisted that Congress steer negotiations on the time-table of troops withdrawal, rather than the Bush administration, which he described as being in a “state of weakness and political confusion.”

Further to your comment:

Alaska is the largest State in America followed by Texas and California and has 663,267 square miles of land and water.

ANWR is a 19 million acre refuge that lies in the top northeast corner of Alaska. The area called 10-02 is named after section 10-20 of the Alaska National Interest Lands Conservation Act (ANILCA), a congressional bill that expanded ANWR in 1980. 10-02 occupies 2000 acres, or roughly 3 square miles, of ANWR, and is legally classified as neither refuge nor wilderness.

Rep. Steve King (R-IA) told a radio audience in a recent interview with Glenn Beck, “I flew over and I also went down on the ground, I talked to the Eskimos there that want to drill. It’s 19.6 million acres.

There’s not a single tree in that entire area, not for 700 miles from where they want to drill for oil. This is a carbon copy of the ecosystem that we drilled in the north slope of Alaska in the early seventies.”

America needs oil Independance from the Middle East.

Starting September 1 or Sept 29 of this year until October 2009, the people of Alaska will not pay state tax for they’re buying at the pump. Palin signed it into law this spring.

I had a nice conversation with our County Court Clerk this morning. In Indiana they handle all voter registration issues, and supervise the voting.

I had called her several weeks ago regards to voter fraud. She has taken steps to make sure the precints are secure and that no fraud takes place. She has had conversations about some of the fraud in Gary and Lake County Indiana, and they have also sharpened security.

She says this internet voter registration by Obama will not be accepted in our state. They are running pieces in all the local papers warning people not to give out personal information like ss # and DL numbers. She was already aware of some of his activities. She asked me to report any new schemes to her asap.

At least we have one state that may be safe from his fraud.

Carical Carrie – You have turned out to be one smoking, self-starting, smart, tenacious member of the tribe! Thanks for your investigative work and for putting together that web site. How do you do it?

MA Primary – Will somebody post the results once they’re known.

VA and CO polls – Remember that these are states than are normally red, so I wouldn’t get too excited. I know the Dems were trying to turn some red states blue, but that’s a challenge. The fact that McCain is ahead in those states is how it should be for Republicans, traditionally. In fact, the fact that the races are tight likely has Republicans concerned.

The United States gets 6% of its oil from the Middle East. We could knock out that 6% by using alternative energy sources. Peak Oil is on its way… are we going to late for the last moment and then go into crisis mode, as per usual?

PS When they quote land mass for drilling in ANWR, they never mention that the acreage isn’t contiguous.

Have faith my friend, I seriously doubt Oblahma will be Potus.

my understanding is because he did not take public funding that he can call the shots as to where the money is disbursed. down ballot people in my county apparently are not benefitting from national party, according to my eavesdropping. hehe

Don’t be surprised if Washington is not as blue as people might think… I went to our local big fair and the Republican booth was hopping and everyone was wearing McCain/Palin stickers and pins, or carrying a rally sign. The news on Saturday said most recent polling went from a 17 point BO lead down to 4 points, for whatever a poll result is worth to anyone.

the conventional wisdom has it that the debates will determine the outcome of the election..
i have a feeling that there is a “wildcard” somewhere in the works ready to be dealt that could take obama out..
obama has way too many unanswered questions hidden out there about his past connections,his ideology and his associates..

#319 DancesWithPumas,

Last year 16% came from the Persian Gulf countries. IMO, our goal should be “foreign” independence not just middle east independence. Canada or Mexico ?? … fine, but Saudi Arabia, Venezuela, or Nigeria … not okay with that.

“We imported only 16% of our crude oil and petroleum products from the Persian Gulf countries of Bahrain, Iraq, Kuwait, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, and United Arab Emirates. During 2007, our five biggest suppliers of crude oil and petroleum products were:

Canada (18.2%)
Mexico (11.4%)
Saudi Arabia (11.0%)
Venezuela (10.1%)
Nigeria (8.4%)

“America needs oil Independance from the Middle East.”
The United States gets 6% of its oil from the Middle East.

LADYHAWKKE – I did my ACTION ITEM for you – however – I sincerely do not believe that Murphy will assist you in a prowl on this – the SOS and AG never became one either – maybe something to Donna or Dean would make more sense —-

My thoughts are to do as you did above – pinpoint those pumas who are into action items and call them forth to help you out – at least you will get a few takers that way – BillieJoe is always good as well as Gypsy1 and TilleryLakeLady – by now you should know who the talkers and who do the doers are.

WORTH REPEATING:

291 Heidi Li
Greetings to you all. Stopping by to encourage folks to take a look at these suggestions for what we can do – apart from applaud the failure of the fraudulent candidate the current DNC foisted upon us - to make sure that we rid the DNC of Howard Dean, who is clinging to his post as we all laugh at him and to make sure that the Clinton wing of the Party remains empowered.

Oh, and I’m from NJ and when Springsteen endorsed Obama I realized I would never feel the same about Bruce again. And, right when I returned from Denver I heard first hand from a NJ superdelegate about how Corzine and NJ State Dem chair got up and told all the delegates in the state’s morning meeting – uh, coercion session – that it was in the Party’s best interest for everybody to vote for Obama on the first ballot.

Two posts I respectfully suggest reading: http://tdg.typepad.com/heidi_lis_potpourri/2008/09/want-to-fix-the-broken-democratic-party-steps-you-can-take-now.html

When I grew up in queens ny and long island you didn’t need a car. Moms drove dads to the trin and kept the car if needed. Buses ran every few minutes, you had long island rail road, sub way and buses,and also two legs for walking, cars were not depended upon.

From the Evil Ones Campaign:
As of today there are just seven weeks left until Election Day, November 4th.

And I wanted to let you know that there are still some spots available at Camp Obama this weekend.

The Camp Obama training sessions are a great opportunity to learn all the strategies and techniques that have already made this campaign so successful. They’ll empower you to become a Deputy Field Organizer and a leader in this movement for change.

With the crucial general election battleground of Colorado right next door, Barack supporters here in Utah have an opportunity to make a big impact.

Sign up now to apply for a spot at Camp Obama.

We can’t do this without you.

Thanks,

#321… I think the problem with having more public transportation in the U.S. is how much rural area we have. We have quite a bit of public transportation in New York… we also do in other areas. In my area of Wisconsin, there is none. We don’t even have a taxi here in our city of 11,000. I think it safe to say that where there IS public transportation available, it is in heavy useage. However, for the majority of the country… us rural people…. we must have our cars. We tried carpooling years ago. Because everybody has their own lists of things “to do” and places they need to go to, that wasn’t feasible most of the time either. In the eye disease support group I own we often hear from people in CA or NY who tell us when we can’t see… well, just take the bus line or the subway. But.. those aren’t available in small cities; and, in many cases, the distances between would make rail transportation not cost effective for those either.

MORE ON THE “ROLL CALL”:
ANONYMOUS: “Ultimately, the roll call vote was a sham and did not even come close to reflecting Senator Clinton’s historic achievement. As of this writing, all of what went on behind the scenes has yet to come to light. From what we know thus far, it is apparent the vote was rigged. Unlike Jesse Jackson’s historic campaign for the Democratic nominee in 1984 when his name was placed in nomination and his 465 ½ delegate votes were accurately recorded for the history books, Senator Clinton’s delegate votes ultimately did not reflect the will of the voters. As a result, the fact that she won more votes and primaries than any candidate in history will forever remain obliterated from the official record.”

Karen Murphy, Alegre’s Corner: “Too many have worked too hard for too long to have this historic vote shoved under the rug like this!”

Let the record show that Senator Clinton led in the popular vote, and that there was only a separation of 47 pledged delegates, even with all the caucus fraud and manipulation.

mc cain’s lead has been drifting steadily downward post convention bump. don’t be surprised if you see obama overtake him as was the baseline before either convenion, especially in light of recent economic issues and mc cain’s less-than-articulated platform when it comes to addressing the economy. not that i’m here to promote mc cain, cause i’m not. just don’t think there’s reason to feel confident about how any of this will turn out. just gotta stay focused and do what we can.

#378 Blue Blue Gal on 09.16.08 at 2:46 pm

from ricki lieberman today:
DELEGATE ACCOUNTABILITY: Please contact your state’s Democratic Party chair. The DNC’s Alice Germond says that each state chair now has the list of how each delegate voted in Denver. Once you have the sheets, you can compare them with the pledged lists (http://www.thegreenpapers.com/P08/D.phtml, scroll down to the bottom and click on Democratic Pledged and Unpledged Summary) to identify HRC pledged delegates who voted for BO, and which Super Delegates determined that BO was the most electable Democrat. Another way to view the material is at http://www.thegreenpapers.com/P08/D-Alloc.phtml to find the lists of delegates by state who were pledged to Clinton and to Obama along with a chart which shows the total numbers originally pledged and the actual vote in Denver.
It will be no surprise to anyone that the DNC is making it as difficult as possible to get the lists of the votes, but we must push back on this very anti-democratic withholding of public information. So much for transparency.
We have the tally sheets for Oregon and New Mexico, so it can be done! Please forward to me other states so that we can distribute the comparisons for delegate accountability.

#379 KarlaforHillary on 09.16.08 at 2:49 pm

I was just thinking today: I wonder what Obama will do when he loses this election. Do you think he will stay in the senate, go back to Kenya, or crawl under a rock and hide for a while? He will probably give a big speech about how racist we all are before he does anything else.

anna7000… dick morris thinks an economic crisis will make voters less willing to take a chance on an unknown candidate and that it could make people more cautious and conservative so that they would prefer someone in office who is more trusted and a known quantity

#383 DancesWithPumas on 09.16.08 at 2:58 pm

Heidi Li, along with Puma PAC, suggests leaving the top of teh ticket blank:
From Heidi Li’s blog:
“Feel free to abstain from voting the top of the Democratic ticket. Conscientious withholding of one’s vote is not copping out. Nobody should vote for a candidate they do not trust. If you don’t trust either major party candidate, don’t vote for either of them. Leave the Presidential line blank. ”

I still can’t seem to come to terms with this suggestion,
because, I think,
1) leaving the top of one’s ballot leaves it open to a range of cheating / fraudulent possibilities, and
2) No one seems to have researched and reported how individual states handle ballots with the top left blank.

I’m not going to tell anyone how to cast their vote, god knows we’ve heard enough rantings on that subject, but, I will ask people to consider the two points above, and if you do decide to leave the top of the ballot blank, please check iwth you state to see how they handle such ballots. Thanks (I feel better now).

PS The only thing I think of when I see our orange ribbon is: A ribbon is not a BO.

#384 Anna7000 on 09.16.08 at 2:59 pm

blue blue gal – thanks for the post and sharing ricki’s e-mail. a word of caution to those digging into the counts: make sure you know whether the numbers you’re looking at are for pledged delegates only, or if the number is a combined number for pledged AND supers. for me, it’s the pledged counts that matter since those are the delegates morally bound to vote for the candiate they were assigned to vote for based on how voters voted. supers have always been free to vote how they wanted, and as we all know, they’re a whole other ball of wax.

#385 Anna7000 on 09.16.08 at 3:01 pm

ok dances, you’ve inspired me to re-post this!
- – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - – - –
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, in my opinion, 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?

What is the deadline to find out about which candidates, if any, are available to be legitimately written in? How do I find out who they are?

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?

Well, it turns out that my congressman (Jay Inslee, Democrat) is up for reelection this year. I just emailed him with this message:

“Dear Mr. Inslee, to help me make up mind as to how I will vote in the down-ticket this year, could you please tell me whether you are supporting Barrack Obama for president? My vote will be made purely on this issue alone.”

Jay Inslee represents the Bangor Submarine Base and the Puget Sound Naval Shipyard area. Inslee keeps getting reelected because he is one of the pro-military voices in the democratic party. I’ve voted for him. In fact, I’ll vote for him again this time if he says he’s not supporting Obama. If he supports Obama or does not return my email, then I’ll vote for the republican whoever it is.

#392 Anna7000 on 09.16.08 at 3:11 pm

godzilla

i’d say, prepare yourself for learning that mr. inslee supports obama. for one, his platform is very much in line with obama’s. second, inslee’s a dem and i’m assuming that it’s “party first”. what’s he gonna say, that he supports mc cain? or a third party? anyway, i loved your letter and hope you’ll do the second part of your little prowl once you have your response, which will be to inform mr. inslee that he does not have your vote due to his support of obama. (that’s if you get a straight answer from him at all.) keep us posted!

#393 NoMoreInFL on 09.16.08 at 3:13 pm

#383 DancesWithPumas You are so right! Leaving the top “blank” if the race is close will be “decided” by those reviewing the ballots.

Remember Florida!?!?! You may have gotten the short version on national news but our news showed various “local” SOE, that came to the conclusion that if someone voted Dem. down – it must be Dem. Same for Rep. The sad ones where were people mixed their vote – those were “placed” to the side for later review. Don’t know if they were ever counted!

I will never leave the top blank or write-in someone that did not agree to be put on the ballot. I hope there are no PUMAS that would want their vote not counted.

I for one will vote…
NO WAY NO HOW NOBAMA…NOW OR EVER!

#394 Anna7000 on 09.16.08 at 3:14 pm

godzilla’s post reminds me – at this point, it’s probably safe to assume that any and all down ticket dems support obama. that’s the nature of being part of a political party. but i think there are dems and there are dems. seems like our first priority is to oust those who actively took part in this election sham. so, godzilla, i wouldn’t necessarily just vote for a repbulican who you know nothing about just because inslee (presumably) supports bo. if we all took that approach, i think we’d all be voting for republicans. i think that’s taking things too far, no? we’re trying to clean up the party, not all become a bunch of republicans.

#395 Caracal Carrie on 09.16.08 at 3:14 pm

I was wondering what he was talking about. Glad to hear the birds are not falling and BO is! Ha!ha! Once he cannot get into the White House, America will have to be on extra Alert because of his previous statements Particularly the comment From Audacity of Hope:
‘I will stand with the Muslims should the political
winds shift in an ugly direction.’

#397 osaka puma on 09.16.08 at 3:17 pm

anna7000..
“seems like our first priority is to oust those who actively took part in this election sham. ”
…that could be quite subjective..wouldn’t that just open up a pandoras box of recriminations and deepen divisions?

#398 GOSUEF4HIL on 09.16.08 at 3:17 pm

#383 DancesWithPuma- Leaving the top of the ticket blank:

I totally agree- PLEASE THINK TWICE if you are considering leaving the top of the ticket blank.

We just had a mayoral election in Scottsdale, which is contested and the ballots that did not vote for mayor were in question- some advocating for interpretation -

I think it is too risky to allow some bone head to interpret how you meant to vote. Look at Florida. Look at the caucuses here. Too much at stake.

I have said it many times here, sorry if you are sick of my mantra- I am a democrat voting Republican first time in my life- I will not waste my vote and I want it to count against BO as much as possible- therefore McCain gets it.

PUMAS:

I think I stumbled onto something that has slipped under the radar. Recall the attacks on Sarah Palin regarding her now debunked support of the Alaskan Independence Party? Well, I recalled this morning that there was a similar and stronger movement in the State of Hawaii. I wondered where that stood now, and what Obama’s position was on Hawaiian independence.

What an eye opener. The movement in Hawaii is still very much alive:

http://www.hawaiireporter.com/story.aspx?title=Native+Hawaiians+Seek+Self-governing+Body

Not only that, but there is a bill pending before Congress that is supported by both Obama and Biden:

http://www.kitv.com/politics/17315510/detail.html?rss=hon&psp=news
“Hawaii’s delegates at the Democratic National Convention said they are grateful for the Democratic Party and Sen. Barack Obama’s support of the Native Hawaiian Recognition Bill.”
***

So just what is “The Hawaiian Recognition Bill”?

http://starbulletin.com/2008/08/27/news/story10.html

“This year, Democrats said: “We support the efforts for self-determination and sovereignty of native Hawaiians, consistent with principles enumerated in the Apology Resolution and the Native Hawaiian Government Reorganization Act.”..

With this and Barack Obama going to be president and Senator (Daniel) Inouye in an extremely important position, Democrats are stepping forward and doing what is right,” Hanabusa said…

If he becomes president, Barack Obama is expected to sign the bill if it passes Congress.”
***

Does this pass the smell test?

http://www.nationalreview.com/lowry/lowry200508190812.asp

“It is spectacularly unconstitutional. The 15th Amendment forbids racial restrictions on voting. The Akaka bill is wholly dependent on such restrictions. The Supreme Court in 2000 struck down an arrangement that permitted only Native Hawaiians to vote for board members of a state agency providing services to Native Hawaiians. The Akaka scheme takes the unconstitutional principle from that arrangement and makes it the basis for a new government…

The conceit of the bill is that Native Hawaiians will merely get the same status as American Indian tribes, which exist as sovereign, extraconstitutional governments. But such tribal governments weren’t created by congressional legislation. They already existed when territory around them was incorporated into the U.S. Congress can recognize new tribes, but they have to meet standards, including existing as a distinct community and exercising sovereignty. Native Hawaiians do neither.”
***
http://www.opinionjournal.com/extra/?id=110007117

“The Senate is poised to sanction the creation of a racially exclusive government by and for Native Hawaiians who satisfy a blood test. The new race-based sovereign that would be summoned into being by the so-called Akaka Bill would operate outside the U.S. Constitution and the nation’s most cherished civil rights statutes. Indeed, the champions of the proposed legislation boast that the new Native Hawaiian entity could secede from the Union like the Confederacy, but without the necessity of shelling Fort Sumter.”
***
So, Sarah Palin gets attacked on a rumor that turns out to be untrue. But Obama and Biden both support the Hawaiian Independence movement and the creation of a race based government in Hawaii that will cause de facto discrimination against non native Hawaiians there?

Holy S—!!!!

Maybe it’s just me, but I think this is a BIG deal. What’s next, Hispanic rule in the Southwestern US? Sharia law in Dearborn? The Constitution is good for the rest of us rabble but not for native Hawaiians? Talk about a divide and conquer strategy. Let’s trash the Constitution of the US in favor of racist enclaves.

#401 hillstheone on 09.16.08 at 3:19 pm

Topic: Today’s prowl
Has everybody been doing their prowl? Here’s what I wrote to Howard:

Dear Mr. Dean,
I’m a lifelong Democrat and a former precinct worker and there is no way I will vote for Barack Obama for president, Howard I want to tell you just a few reasons why I do not think he can win the election for the Democratic Party:

* his REZKO ties & campaign corruption will be used against our party in a big way by the GOP any day now
* he turned too many women voters off by running a sexist campaign
* his racist pastor(s) were a turnoff to mainstream American voters and centrist Democrats.
* his flip-flopping & arguing with Palin made him seem un-Presidential
* he voted for FISA & lost the confidence of too many Democrats.
* Most importantly, he engaged in Caucus Fraud to narrowly steal the nomination from the more qualified candidate, Hillary Clinton. To all of the women & men members in PUMA, this is a grevious sin that needs to be remedied by our Party Leaders.

Mr. Dean, too many Democrats are not going to vote for Barack Obama for president. We will not support a “Unity Ticket” with Hillary Clinton as the vice-president. We will not donate one thin dime to the DNC or any of its affiliate organizations until they wake up, listen to the voices of the voters in ALL 50 states, and start distancing themselves from this disastrous nominee.

Please, re-think the direction of our ticket before it’s too late.

Sincerely,

XXX – Lane County Oregon – PUMA Democrat

#402 Anna7000 on 09.16.08 at 3:20 pm

osaka – as for the first part of your response, i’d say ‘yes” and “no”. yes, because on the face of it your point is well taken. no, because we do have some hard facts to guide us, i.e. superdelegates, those who actively engaged in promoting obama even while their district or their state went heavily for clinton, etc. as for the second half of your response, i’m not sure i understand it. what do you mean?

Update on what looks to be a HUNT for info.
Called NV’s Democratic Party asked for the info and was told she had no idea and didn’t know how I could find out, so I asked to speak with Sam Leiberman, NV’s chair. Was given another number and told he (Sam) doesn’t go to that office anymore. So, I called this new number that turned out to be BO’s NV HQ. WTF!! Spoke with the receptionist that put me on hold to transfer me to him. She came back asking what it was about, then put me on hold again. She then came back on the line giving me a number to get ahold of him. It’s the same number I called the first time.
?????

Now I’m really on a mission!!! And pissed!

FYI, BO will be in Vegas tomorrow. Doors open at 2:30 and it starts at 5pm. 850 Las Vegas Blvd.
Gonna see if I can make it down tomorrow. Anyone gonna be close so we can make a scene?
Anyway, gonna eat lunch and then I’ll make some more calls, try to figure this out.

#408 Anna7000 on 09.16.08 at 3:24 pm

godzilla – sorry. yikes. i hate jargon speak and now i’m doing it. a lot of us have come to use the term “prowl” just to refer to any actions we take, individually or collectively. it’s because murphy refers to her actions that she sends to everyone as “prowls”, based on our puma/cat identity. no big deal. just means taking action, something you do that’s politically-related.

Also I wanted to say here is the song Obama can have Bruce sing to him the next time he’s in New Jersey:

“I go to put my arm around you
And you give me a look like I’m way out of bounds
Well you let out one of your bored sighs
Well lately when I look into your eyes
I’m goin’ down, down, down, down,

#222 AsianforHillary- thank you for that video. Yes, that was the lady I saw on Hannity last night, only here she gave more detail. I still think (personally) that it would be nice to know who made the ad with her in it that Hannity showed a blip of on his show, and what state it’s running in. I wish that could be shown in every state. I think (personally) that Obama voting against that “born alive protection act” in IL (which MOST dems in the nation, even the most liberal, supported) was despicable. This, I think, would be a powerful ad to run. Thank you again.

#413 Caracal Carrie on 09.16.08 at 3:27 pm

Bobram thanks I will scroll up and find ladyhawkes post. I think it’s extremely important. I am having a hard time finding any reporting on it from any site that is not NoBama or where the author can not be discredited.

Finally, I’m registered thanks to my teenage daughter who calls herself a PUMA too. I joined PUMA in June and have been lurking, doing prowls, and posting on other blogs. I live in Norwich, CT. I’m so happy to see others on here from CT. I hope we can work together to turn this state around. Dodd is another one I will never vote for again I feel like I’m in BO land and like others mentioned, I’m very hesitant to put up a McCain/Palin sign or wear a button. I worked on Hillary’s campaign in Providence and Philadelphia (my hometown, yes, I’m a small-town, bitter middle-aged woman who’s mad as heck at the Democratic Party.) I switched to Independent during the summer and always voted country and candidate before party. I met some of his goons during visibility shifts and they were condescending and nasty from the Raging Grannies in Providence to the starry-eyed college students. In honor of my parents who served in WW2 and my 3 cousins who are Vietnam vets, No Way No How NoBama. He is dangerous.

I know people are supportive of more websites, and I understand their points of view, i.e. filling in gaps by specializing; more variety in tone and tenor; more variety in approaches to actions, etc.. I’m just not one of them.

I prefer consolidation (which equates to less work for more people), vs fragmentation, duplication, and dillution of effort. I like knowing with whom I am interacting, what strengths they contribute, in what ways they can be relied upon, and the degree of trust I am willing to allot, etc.

This is just my personal preference. I am powerless over what anyone does (thank goodness, because my vision is often myopic).

If there is any one thing that I really don’t like about other websites, it is when they chose to deposit their conflicts and dramas and negative feedback in this blog. I consider it an inappropriate disruption to, and distraction from the flow and intent of this blog.

Re: Senator Obama’s violation of THE LOGAN ACT*

Dear Senate Ethics Committee:

I am again writing to ask you to conduct an investigation into Senator Barak Obama for possible violations of the Logan Act.

(1) During his trip to the Middle East, as well as conduct unbecoming a United States Senator for his political campaigning in foreign countries.
If Obama’s trip to Israel was official fact-finding and not campaigning, why do Obama supporters there have large official Obama campaign banners up? Please see the following link showing Obama supporters with campaign signs written in Hebrew.
http://sweetness-light.com/archive/obama-campaigned-at-western-wall
(2) McCain Responds to Obama’s Reported Undermining of the Commander-In-Chief During Wartime [Andy McCarthy]
The McCain Campaign has issued a statement responding to the report from Amer Taheri (see today’s web briefing) that Sen. Obama secretly negotiated with the Iraqi government regarding U.S. withdrawal from Iraq. McCain spokesman Randy Scheunemann stated as follows:
“At this point, it is not yet clear what official American negotiations Senator Obama tried to undermine with Iraqi leaders, but the possibility of such actions is unprecedented. It should be concerning to all that he reportedly urged that the democratically-elected Iraqi government listen to him rather than the US administration in power. If news reports are accurate, this is an egregious act of political interference by a presidential candidate seeking political advantage overseas. Senator Obama needs to reveal what he said to Iraq’s Foreign Minister during their closed door meeting. The charge that he sought to delay the withdrawal of Americans from Iraq raises serious questions about Senator Obama’s judgment and it demands an explanation. “
I have not received a response to my previous fax and ask that you please investigate this matter and respond to me.
Thank You, (Name, Address)

*Any citizen of the United States, wherever he may be, who, without authority of the United States, directly or indirectly commences or carries on any correspondence or intercourse with any foreign government or any officer or agent thereof, with intent to influence the measures or conduct of any foreign government or of any officer or agent thereof, in relation to any disputes or controversies with the United States, or to defeat the measures of the United States, shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than three years, or both.

Now he has asked for an expideted trial w/I believe he has gotten since they have been told they have until 9/30/08 to produce papers on everything Bo has ever written in college, his vault Birth Certificate, Passport, selective service registration and on and on . Dean must submit all paperwork showing all vetting on BO done before allowing him to run for office.
Go to obamacrimes.com and read all legal documents submitted and served. On the right side of page is unbelievable info that has been proven against BO. He is not a citizen! He was born in Kenya! GOP has copy of Kenya B.C. and much more. Read copy of his school record in Kenya saying he is Indo citizen and Muslim religion. He also has 3 different birthdates!

In the story about the “emergency meeting” with the biggest of Obama’s supporters, did you all notice that his problems are being specifically attributed to “aging white women.”

Hmmm, aging as in “unattractive”, “”bitter”, “over-the-hill”? As in “invisible”? As in “not powerful”? Not very smart. We live a long time and we vote. Not smart at all.

My son spoke to Philip personally over a week ago by phone and he assured him that everything on his site is absolutely true and his proof is absolute and the suit is moving forward. He also told him he would help us also if we want with a suit against DNC for voter fraud.

She then came back on the line giving me a number to get ahold of him. It’s the same number I called the first time.
?????

Now I’m really on a mission!!! And pissed!

That makes three of us. I took several links and wrote this letter. Let me know what you think……..please.
Please let me know of typos or funky stuff. :lol:

*******************************************

Dear News Reporters, Clinton Delegates and the DNC,

Although I am a life long Democrat, I was shocked at the corruption in the primary election for the next President of the United States.

The extensive caucus fraud in the Democratic Primary Election, which is documented at this site: http://www.lynettelong.com/caucusfraud/ is just one of several reasons Senator Obama is not winning this election in the poles. Millions of us are aware of what happened during the primary and will not support the corruption in the DNC and the Democratic Party this year.

Another problem that split the Democratic Party in the Primaries is the bulling by the Obama Campaign to force the Clinton Democrats to vote for Barack Obama at the Democratic Convention instead of those delegates representing 18 million voters in the primary, to show a false since of Unity at the convention. Voters have tried their best to get those Clinton Delegates to come forward and let the public know what happened, but most are too afraid of their political futures to do so. We have taken off their names to protect their identity, but here are a few to prove my point:

ON THE “ROLL CALL”:

ANONYMOUS: “Ultimately, the roll call vote was a sham and did not even come close to reflecting Senator Clinton’s historic achievement. As of this writing, all of what went on behind the scenes has yet to come to light. From what we know thus far, it is apparent the vote was rigged. Unlike Jesse Jackson’s historic campaign for the Democratic nominee in 1984 when his name was placed in nomination and his 465 ½ delegate votes were accurately recorded for the history books, Senator Clinton’s delegate votes ultimately did not reflect the will of the voters. As a result, the fact that she won more votes and primaries than any candidate in history will forever remain obliterated from the official record.”

(My comment: To this day, the DNC has not published the official voting at the ‘Roll Call’ in the Denver Convention, along with the names of the delegates that cast those votes. The public is scrambling to find out if their vote was represented at the Convention by Clinton Delegates. Since voters are already weary that their vote was not represented, not making this information public gives little credibility to the DNC in this election so far.)

-CALIFORNIA: xxxxx xxxx: “This is such a pile of dung. I WAS a Hillary delegate from California and that’s not at all what happened. Hillary supporters flipped to Obama and we passed so as not to embarrass Hillary. Xxxx xxxx made a fool of herself in order to get publicity for herself and lost most of us in the process, her stunt was embarrassing and out of place. Ray Panko was NOT a delegate and had no knowledge of the real goings on if he even does exist. I have my doubts about many of your so-called respondents. NOT ONE DELEGATE that I spoke to (and I spoke to a LOT of Hillary delegates) was disillusioned after the amazing week so stop spreading these falsehoods.”

-xx: xxxx xxxxx was handing out the petitions to get a vote on the floor and Chris Lavery, who I had a run in with when volunteering for Hillary months earlier, came over to me and intimidated me by saying, “You realize you are an At-Large delegate for Hillary and Hillary does not want people to sign this. This would be an embarrassment to Hillary.” Later, in a message to my facebook account, Chris told me “he would remember what I had done” basically telling me I would never get an at-large delegate slot again for Hillary. I told him I could care less because politics was not my life and I was there to represent the public and to stand up for the constitution.”

-COLORADO: xxxx: “A request for Unity has no place in a political party until after the roll call vote is over and the candidate has been selected. The Democratic Party essentially committed suicide on August 27, 2008, with that joke of a roll call vote, thereby reaffirming yet again that Barack Obama was selected, not elected. The roll call vote essentially laughed at democracy. In the name of “Unity,” votes were taken wholesale from Hillary supporters and given to Obama, thereby creating more division. Authentic votes no longer matter just like in any autocratic country. Individual liberty and free speech are under severe attack. Obama cannot be vetted or criticized in any way, or you are a racist. Police force and Obama thugs now attempt to control behavior. You will support Obama or you will pay dearly. This is the message from the Denver Convention to those of us who have been watching from home. This message is loud and clear.”

The list goes on with the Clinton delegates that were bullied into giving their vote representing the public vote- to Barack Obama at the convention. Millions of voters know this happened and are not going to support the inexperienced and wrongly selected candidate and the corrupt practices of the DNC. I am glad to see that the Republican’s are aware of the voting fraud and are going to watch for this in the General Election. See article below that someone posted about the Republican’s way to combat this potential election fraud.

Many of you may want to see the link below to Obama’s website where voters are able to register to vote and their personal information is kept by the Obama Campaign: http://www.voteforchange.com/index_obama.php?source=091008emailR#

“The Honest and Open Election Committee”
http://www.johnmccain.com/honest/

This is a brilliant move by the McCain campaign. It signals to Obama that the Republicans know all about the caucus fraud, ACORN’s mischievous voter registration practices, and Obama’s habit of cheating to win elections. (See our Sunday article, ACORN Fraud Epidemic Hits Michigan: ALERT, for a bit of background).

By going on the offensive publicly, by inviting the Obama campaign to join their dialogue aimed at pre-empting fraud and other ballot irregularities, the McCain campaign comes across as the more ethical and professional organization, which I have no doubt that it is. And it has once again out-smarted Team Obama. Note that this is a bi-partisan committee, which also demonstrates McCain’s ability to forge teams which transcend party politics.

http://texasdarlin.wordpress.com/2008/09/16/obama-acorn-on-notice-mccain-palin-launch-anti-fraud-initiative/

Thank you for your time in researching this important issue.
It is a shame for voters to realize they can be scammed by their own party, and wonder if Democracy is really lost forever.

Yes, I am a PUMA and millions of us will not go away and will keep fighting to make the Democratic Party represent the voters, the party and policies we have supported all of our lives.

#449 taylorgrob1 on 09.16.08 at 3:55 pm

I thought that the major reason to support offshore, Alaskan, ND, and other national drilling was to decrease our dependecy on foreign oil, not necessarily to reduce cost. When you factor in the costs of the wars to protect our foreign oil interests, it is mighty expensive on so many fronts.

I also believe that we should do everything feasible to encourage development of alternative sources and in conservation.

Here is my e-mail to Howie:

Chairman Dean,

I was a little startled yesterday to find your request for a donation in my mailbox.

I suppose you forgot (or am hoping that I have) but I not only changed my registration to Independent after the May 31st debacle, I have requested to be removed from your e-mail and snail mail list.

I will not support the candidate you and your cronies “selected” for us.

And just to insure an Obama defeat this November, I have crossed party lines and am working for and donating to the RNC.

I only wish you and Nancy and Harry and the Obama group had been as concerned about your core of Democratic voters as the Republicans have proven to be. And they have made a concerted effort to pull in disenfranchised voters.

I have decided to go where my vote is valued.

I hope to one day return to the Democratic party. The sooner you and your pals drop out, the sooner my return,

Sue Freeman

I agree with you, in principle – that the people most affected by the drilling should have the biggest say. But when we are talking about oil, some people living in Alaska stand to make piles of money, while others may have their land and lives devastated. Unfortunately, as is often the case, money may have the louder voice.

That’s why I think it’s a good idea to for people like us to have these discussions. Also, the land we are talking about is federal . . . if it were state-owned land I agree that we wouldn’t have too much to say about it.

Here’s my letter to Howard Dean:

Dear Howard Dean,

I started out supporting Obama last winter. When I saw how the media unfairly trashed Hillary Clinton, I changed my mind. As a woman, I decided not to tolerate that kind of treatment any longer. During the campaign, I realized that Hillary was the very best and most experienced person to run this country.

Your superdelegate manipulations, your allowing of caucus fraud, your refusal to come to Hillary’s defense when under sexist attacks by the media, your stone-faced arrogance towards all women, and your DNC convention machinations to deny Hillary delegates their pledged duty–these have turned me against you and your candidate.

I will not vote for your candidate Obama. If you think the real Hillary supporters will stand behind you, you could not be more mistaken. This election is not just about your “issues.” One of my “issues” is to end sexism now. Obama will not get my Hillary vote.

Sincerely,

ThecandypoemPUMA.

Bill is a democrat, why is it he has McCain on top instead of NOBAMA? :lol:

I guess I take exception to the very notion of our dependency on “foreign oil.”

Oil is a global economy, and as such, all of our oil is “foreign.”

Oil that we drill on American soil or off our coastlines does not go into our gas pumps. It’s drilled by international oil companies and sold back to us on the world market at the same price we pay for oil drilled anywhere in the world. We don’t get a special discount for ruining our wildlife refuge or poisoning our coastlines. On the contrary, the massive infrastructure costs for developing the Arctic refuge, or constructing off shore oil rigs (and cleaning up ocean spills) will most certainly come back to us in the price at the pump.

*****************************************

I don’t get it. Obama offiers mere lip service to women’s issues but has no record to point to. McCain, on the other hand, practices what he preaches. Actions versus “just words”: (sorry in advance for the length of this post)

From the Seattle PI, 9/11/2008
http://seattlepi.nwsource.com/opinion/378772_murdockonline12.html
“A watchdog group called LegiStorm posts online the salaries for Capitol Hill staffers. “We have no political affiliations and no political purpose except to make the workings of Congress as transparent as possible,” its website explains…

Based on these calculations, Obama’s 28 male staffers divided among themselves total payroll expenditures of $1,523,120. Thus, Obama’s average male employee earned $54,397…

Obama’s 30 female employees split $1,354,580 among themselves, or $45,152, on average…

Again, on average, Obama’s female staffers earn just 83 cents for every dollar his male staffers make. This figure certainly exceeds the 77-cent threshold that Obama’s campaign website condemns. However, 83 cents do not equal $1. In spite of this 17-cent gap between Obama’s rhetoric and reality, he chose to chide GOP presidential contender John McCain on this issue…

McCain’s 17 male staffers split $916,914, thus averaging $53,936. His 25 female employees divided $1,396,958 and averaged $55,878…

On average, according to these data, women in John McCain’s office make $1.04 for every dollar a man makes.”

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zgIM7GOVizI

http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2008/09/12/opinion/main4443922.shtml
‘Now is the time to keep the promise of equal pay for an equal day’s work,” Democratic presidential nominee Barack Obama said August 28 in his convention acceptance speech. He told the crowd in Denver: “I want my daughters to have exactly the same opportunities as your sons.”

Obama’s campaign website is even more specific. Under the heading “Fighting for Pay Equity,” the women’s issues page laments that, “Despite decades of progress, women still make only 77 cents for every dollar a man makes. A recent study estimates it will take another 47 years for women to close the wage gap with men at Fortune 500 corporate offices. Barack Obama believes the government needs to take steps to better enforce the Equal Pay Act.”

Obama’s commitment to federally mandated pay equity stretches from the Rockies to Wall Street and beyond. And yet it seems to have eluded his United States Senate office. Compensation figures for his legislative staff reveal that Obama pays women just 83 cents for every dollar his men make….
Based on these calculations, Obama’s 28 male staffers divided among themselves total payroll expenditures of $1,523,120. Thus, Obama’s average male employee earned $54,397.

Obama’s 30 female employees split $1,354,580 among themselves, or $45,152, on average. ..

Of Obama’s five best-paid advisors, only one was a woman. Among his top 20, seven were women…

On average, Obama’s female staffers earn just 83 cents for every dollar his male staffers make. ..
Obama’s criticism notwithstanding, McCain’s payment patterns are the stuff of feminist dreams.

McCain’s 17 male staffers split $916,914, thus averaging $53,936. His 25 female employees divided $1,396,958 and averaged $55,878.

On average, according to these data, women in John McCain’s office make $1.04 for every dollar a man makes. In fact, ceteris paribus, a typical female staffer could earn 21 cents more per dollar paid to her male counterpart – while adding $10,726 to her annual income – by leaving Barack Obama’s office and going to work for John McCain…

Among his top-five best-compensated staffers, three are women. Of his 20-highest-salaried employees, 13 are women. The Republican presidential nominee relies on women – much more than men – for advice at the highest, and thus, best-paid levels…

In short, these statistics suggest that John McCain is more than fair with his female employees, while Barack Obama – at the expense of the women who work for him – quietly perpetuates the very same pay-equity divide that he loudly denounces. Of all people, the Democratic standard bearer should understand that equal pay begins at home. “

Just got the following email from Bill. My response follows. I don’t know how he can do this????????

————– Original message from Bill Clinton : ————–

Dear Diane,

If any of you are watching the latest Republican tactics and seeing the latest attacks from John McCain and Sarah Palin, you know to win in November and reverse the mistakes and misplaced priorities of the last eight years it’s going to take all of us working together. The stakes couldn’t be any higher.

If you saw our convention in Denver, I’m sure you know that Democrats are 100 percent ready to go to work to win big!

That has a lot to do with Hillary. I couldn’t have been more proud of the speech she gave in Denver. She made it clear why, if you supported her candidacy, you should also support Barack Obama.

Her historic speech inspired me and millions of others, and it was a great reminder of how important it is that we also continue to support Hillary’s efforts to speak out on behalf of ordinary Americans. There’s no better way to show her your continuing support right now than by making a contribution today. And if you contribute $50 or more, you’ll get a DVD with her historic speech in Denver and the inspiring video that introduced her. It’ll include a message that Hillary recorded just for you, where she shares some special moments from her week in Denver. And we’ll put my speech on there for you, too. For a limited time only if you contribute $250 or more you will receive the special “Signature” edition personally signed by Hillary.

Contribute today, and you’ll receive a DVD copy of Hillary’s and my convention speeches.

After an 18-month primary campaign, Democrats are coming together with one purpose: to elect Barack Obama. After eight years of George W. Bush, America is hungry for real change.

It’s the kind of change that someone like John McCain — who has voted with George W. Bush 90 percent of the time — just can’t bring. Hillary and I are going to do everything we can to help make Barack Obama president, and we are going to keep fighting for our values, just as we have all along.

Help Hillary continue to make history. Donate $50 today, and you’ll get a DVD of her historic convention speech — and mine, too!

If you give $250 or more you will get a special edition signed by Hillary!

This is going to be a great year for Democrats and for America. I hope you’re as excited about it as I am.

Thank you for everything,

Bill Clinton

It appears more and more that the will and votes of the people doesn’t matter, doesn’t even count. Not in 2000 anyway, or 2004 nor in the primarys of 2008. So there is every reason to believe the same will happen in November.
Does anyone suppose there may be a group of people who have so much money that money doesn’t matter anymore? To whom only power matters? And if this group does exist they certainly wouldn’t want to trust their existence and future to the will of people with no money or power whatsoever. They would manipulate and control the system which controls the masses to preserve their power.
In essence, our entire political and election process is merely ‘entertainment’ provided by this group to keep the masses preoccupied.
It’s scary to contemplate because it’s such a real likelihood. We all are barely pawns on a giant chessboard and, at the end of the day, it doesn’t matter what we think or feel at all. It makes sheeple of Democrats, Republicans, Independents and the whole process. That’s why nothing ever changes and politicians run for office on the promises of ‘change’.
Think about it!!! The people didn’t wnt Viet Nam. The people didn’t want Korea. The people didn’t want Iraq. The people didn’t want Bush. The people DID want Gore. Did want Kerry. Did want Hillary Clinton. Do want universal healthcare. Do want jobs.
Our decent paying jobs have been stolen~~outsourced to countries where wages are more reasonable.
If the country had voluntarily deflated in the early 80′s, our economy would be sound and those jobs would still be here. People would really OWN their own houses.
The Civil War didn’t abolish slavery—it legalized it. How does it feel to be a slave? To debt? How does it feel to know you have sold all your tomorrows to this group of people? This whole country has been sold out and it’s probably too late to do a damn thing about it. So we just keep playing this same game, getting older in the process. We choose teams–repubs, dems, indys. And as long as we keep playing this game this ‘Group’ of people continue their plan to enslave the entire world.
Now ask yourselves WHY?

Cash-poor Obama says no to Reid

Harry Reid and Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee Chairman Charles Schumer had hoped at one point to get as much as $10 million from the Obama campaign.

Earlier this month, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid made a personal appeal to Barack Obama: Help me grow the Democrats’ Senate majority by sharing some of the $77 million you’ve got in the bank.

Obama’s campaign said no.

I guess all those Clinton Democrats that gave away our votes at the convention to the One, are starting to wonder if selling their souls to the Devil did them any good. Many were threatened that their state Democratic office would get noBo $ if they supported Clinton voters……………….. Karma!

PUMAS – if enough of us filled out the form on Dateline – (they have always been fair to date) maybe someone will take some action on this – at least it does not go into moderation like CNN – this is what I wrote – you have 3000 characters – so you can write a lot.
————————————————————————————————————————————–
I think it would be a breaking news story if you investigated the Penna lawyer Berg lawsuit against Barrack Obama – papers have been served on him – no media is picking it up – you don’t have to take sides – just research – as well as l. caucus fraud in the primaries – 2. Logan Act – who violated it and why – 3. ACORN – 4.fraud in Michigan and other States with new voter registrations – I think this is the type of information that citizens would appreciate from a news source – Dateline has always always been the most fair approach of any other news media and hope that an investigation would be involved.

Caracal was it you or Texas Tigress that was doing the TV stations for Penna Ohio and Florida – do you have others as well – I know – as usual there was not that much support and was going to give it up – but I personally and have a good dozen friends that follow up on anything that will make a difference – if you have any more that you have researched would love for you to post it – as I have my own prowl power behind the scenes -

It’s absolutely amazing how many people don’t know that the Federal ‘Government’ has nothing to do with the PRIVATE entity, the Federal Reserve.
I’d really like to know when we voted Allan Greenspan the leader of our national economy. And when did we give Bernanke the same power when Greenspan ‘retired’?
This same PRIVATE entity just infused 70 billion dollars into Wall Street. Think about it.

516 Godzilla Let’s say our lives are ruled by a ‘quarter’. Obam (dems) is one side of the quarter. McCain (repubs) is the other side of the quarter. Both make up the whole quarter. Heads we lose, tails we lose. It is this ‘group; I refer to that owns the quarter. The group is the only entity with power to create change. Neither Obam nor McCain can do anything more than sit up at the pedestal and say what they think, don’t think, promise, etc. They can’t say HOW they will change anything because they both know they can’t change anything—except their minds.

hey let’s ask them if you are gonna do an 18 billion dollar tax on oil companies, dont give it to be blewn away on “maybe they wil invest in wind, solar, etc. etc.
do what Palin did, give us a rebate check, taxpayers:

let’s see let’s just say there are 250 million taxpayers, and thats just a guess with 310 million in this country according to stastics, divide 310 million into 18 billion, what do you get?

give that back to taxpayers, like she did in alaska

#531 deadgirlsrise on 09.16.08 at 4:59 pm

Murphy, I looked up the ballot on MA dem party website, no surprises there, except for the one John Kerry is going to wake up to! :) Words can barely describe how good it felt to vote for Ed O’Reilly, one, he is a stand up guy, and two, he actually cares what happens in Massachusetts, and finally, three, I hope to see John Kerry lose his seat in the Senate. John Kerry has done nothing for the people he represents as far as I can tell. I mean, I could be wrong, but my impression is that John Kerry has a sense of entitlement to his seat here, and I have not noted a stronger presence in that regard now that he has a democratic primary challenger. He just could not give a flying rat butt, again, as far as I can tell.

Posting Suggestions

I have noticed an escallation in the Obamabot activity, more of the paid bloggers I would guess. One thing they really do not like posted anywhere in the Berg Lawsuit.

Bergs website http://www.obamacrimes.com has linkes to several PDF documents. I would recommend posting them everywhere you can. The MSM knows and they are acting like three monkeys.

The voter registration stuff is scary, too. I would like to suggest that PUMA’s get the legitimate state information for voter registration and post those links on local boards, urging people to vote.

#538 KarenWI on 09.16.08 at 5:01 pm

#490… I wonder what happened to Bill’s statement about candidate A and candidate B? Remember that one? I just don’t understand how he and Hill can really say things like that after what BO and the dem leadership did to them! I mean, talk about kicking them in the tush, grinding their heels in their faces, and then spitting on them! WHY WHY WHY are they still staying loyal to them??? You know, I am getting sick and tired of people (Bill/Hill AND people in my own area) who vote one party regardless of who is in it, what they stand for, and what has happened in there, just because they always vote that party! That is dangerous! My gosh, what happened to these peoples brains ? I hate to say this, but it’s when people stop thinking for themself, and just vote party, they are setting up for another Hitler. I’m not just cutting dems here, I’m cutting repubs too. COUNTRY FIRST!

#539 madazzhel on 09.16.08 at 5:02 pm

Hi Puma Pals,

I do believe even CA will turn a light purple.

There will be a new “Bradley Effect” but this time NOT because of actual racism. (It is still debatable if that was ever a factor to begin with) There are many non-racist voters who are afraid to tell the pollsters their true leanings and women, in particular, who have had it with the gender bias. At the moment this group of voters is unseen and incalculable unless one is really paying attention.

The political atomosphere has become so charged many simply won’t discuss their choice. They will pull the lever for anyone but Senator Obama on Nov. 4.

Could it be as high as 8% ?

As long as the people refuse to think about these things, continuing to play the slavery game, we stay in denial and nothing changes. We will have either a dem or a repub as president, perhaps a slight change in congessional makeup, and we will still have financial crisises, home foreclosures, job outsourcing, poverty, natural disasters—and the ‘Group’ will continue to leach all our wealth as usual while we happily grumble about ‘politics as usual’.
The first really huge irem in their ‘plan’ was establishing ‘credit’. When the people finally wake up to the fact that this institution has actually enslaved them, this country will explode. But to what avail?

Hi Ladies! I’ve been reading your blog for about 3 weeks now and I must say you are a very resourceful group and I admire your gumption. :)

I’m a Lou-Dobbs independent. We were going to sit this election out…until Sarah Palin became the VP elect. I am now fired up because I feel that with Sarah’s nomination, the One has revealed his true self, along with his supporters – and they disgust me. They must not win.

I’ve joined today, because I wanted you all to know how your comments have made me feel more empowered and I’m happy that I’m not alone in my disgust at the sexist attacks that occurred both on Hillary and Sarah.

Anyway, lots to say. Just thought I’d give you this story:

Greta has the “Obama trying to trick the media” story:

#557 Alice1943 on 09.16.08 at 5:10 pm

We have to have ‘issues’. We have always had ‘issues’. They keep us hooked on the game.
There is an old saying, “When the ship starts to sink, all the rats jump first.” So—if you see Obama elected, it might be time to bend over and kiss it all good-bye.

I laughed M.A.O. about this news tidbit. They probably have a special car for the teleprompter and a back-up teleprompter!!! I am sure all of the candidates use them to one degree or the other, but the thought of this ultra-intelligent and uh, articulate, and um, utterly arrogant candidate needing to rely on his computer fed lines is beyond hilarious.

The corrupted Dems are the ones putting that in peoples heads because they want to keep buying oil from foreign countries. Oil is down to 92 dollars a barrel as of this morning and convience stores are buying gas at 2.56 and WHY and gas prices are still rising they are only suppose to charge a little over cost not over a dollar. If you think about it the convience stores are the ones ripping us off. everyone needs to report price gauging. I will find out tonight from my other half what the cost of oil per barrel was today when he gets home.

Here’s my daily email from the Obama campaign. This one is from Bill Clinton. This makes me so mad that Bill would do this and on top of it, use Hillary as a tool to get people to donate to the unworthy jerk Obie.

Dear xxxxxx

If any of you are watching the latest Republican tactics and seeing the latest attacks from John McCain and Sarah Palin, you know to win in November and reverse the mistakes and misplaced priorities of the last eight years it’s going to take all of us working together. The stakes couldn’t be any higher.

If you saw our convention in Denver, I’m sure you know that Democrats are 100 percent ready to go to work to win big!

That has a lot to do with Hillary. I couldn’t have been more proud of the speech she gave in Denver. She made it clear why, if you supported her candidacy, you should also support Barack Obama.

Her historic speech inspired me and millions of others, and it was a great reminder of how important it is that we also continue to support Hillary’s efforts to speak out on behalf of ordinary Americans. There’s no better way to show her your continuing support right now than by making a contribution today. And if you contribute $50 or more, you’ll get a DVD with her historic speech in Denver and the inspiring video that introduced her. It’ll include a message that Hillary recorded just for you, where she shares some special moments from her week in Denver. And we’ll put my speech on there for you, too. For a limited time only if you contribute $250 or more you will receive the special “Signature” edition personally signed by Hillary.

Contribute today, and you’ll receive a DVD copy of Hillary’s and my convention speeches.

After an 18-month primary campaign, Democrats are coming together with one purpose: to elect Barack Obama. After eight years of George W. Bush, America is hungry for real change.

It’s the kind of change that someone like John McCain — who has voted with George W. Bush 90 percent of the time — just can’t bring. Hillary and I are going to do everything we can to help make Barack Obama president, and we are going to keep fighting for our values, just as we have all along.

Help Hillary continue to make history. Donate $50 today, and you’ll get a DVD of her historic convention speech — and mine, too!

If you give $250 or more you will get a special edition signed by Hillary!

This is going to be a great year for Democrats and for America. I hope you’re as excited about it as I am.

Thank you for everything,

Bill Clinton

i am under the impression that once the convention is over there can be no more monies accepted for debt reduction. she can put the monies in her warchest for future senate campaign or future presidential campaign only –
any puma know for sure?

Funny you should bring this up. For the first time in my life, I am afraid to discuss my political opinions and concerns. Some of my friends are talking about this. Any dissent from the party line is met with such shocking and personal upbraiding; I have never experienced this before. (Keep in mind that I am a pro-life Democrat so I am very familiar with tense discussions. But I have never felt threatened.)

I am politically active; I have walked door to door and pounded in signs. I am nervous about doing so now. Combine this with the lack of bumper stickers and signs in some areas of the country, and maybe this is significant. We won’t know until November. My fear is that we might not even then.

I am concerned about the blatantly unbalanced media and now the subtle sense of retribution if Obama is not elected. My greatest fear is that there will be violence is Obama is not elected. I don’t like where this is going and I greatly fear for my country. I am struggling not to feel intimidated. And I am not easily intimidated.

If all the people here that are trying to make us more and more conscious of the harm that some drilling can do to the environment are trying to plant seeds of distrust in Governor Palin, then you are out of line since we do not campaign here.
I am quite confident that all of us here are also environment conscious. However, our aim here is to keep a greater evil from taking over the country, namely OBAMA AND “HIS GANG” of no gooders.
Vote the way you want, but do not try to convince us how to vote.

Posted: Tuesday, September 16, 2008 4:53 PM by Domenico Montanaro
Filed Under: 2008, Clinton, Palin
From NBC’s Chuck Todd
Both Hillary Clinton and Sarah Palin will participate in a protest on Monday of the presence of Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadienjad, NBC News has learned.

The two politicians will not appear together at the protest but will both participate, according to those close to the organizing of this protest. The event is being organized by a coalition of groups (mostly Jewish) upset by the presence of Ahmadienjad in New York at the opening of the U.N. General Assembly and the threat Iran presents to “global security.”

The protest will take place across the street from the U.N.

I think you might be right about the debt. Thats not really the point, I will not give any money for Obama. He is having a dinner in Hollywood tonight let them cough up 50,000 a plate instead of 28,500. Give me a break! My bitter dollars can go the something a hell of a lot more important than that asshole!

BO’s campaign continues its dirty tricks campaign.

Fiorina: Obama Camp ‘Deceitful’ in Clipping My Quote
by FOXNews.com

Tuesday, September 16, 2008
“it clipped part of an interview in which Republican Victory 2008 Chairwoman Carly Fiorina said John McCain was not qualified to be the head of a corporation, Fiorina said Tuesday.

Earlier in the day, Fiorina, the former CEO of Hewlett-Packard, appeared on MSNBC, where she said none of the candidates is qualified to run a major corporation, but that should not prevent them from running the country.

“I don’t think John McCain could run a major corporation. I don’t think Barack Obama could run a major corporation. I don’t think Joe Biden could run a major corporation. But on the other hand a major corporation is not the same as being the president or vice president of the United States,” Fiorina said.

“It is a fallacy to suggest that the country is like a company. So of course to run a business you have to have a lifetime of experience in business, but that’s not what Sarah Palin, John McCain, Joe Biden or Barack Obama are doing,” she said.

But the Obama campaign, pointing to a version of Fiorina’s statement that was clipped after the first sentence, berated McCain for not winning the trust of even his own supporter…”

Email from President Clinton:

Dear,

If any of you are watching the latest Republican tactics and seeing the latest attacks from John McCain and Sarah Palin, you know to win in November and reverse the mistakes and misplaced priorities of the last eight years it’s going to take all of us working together. The stakes couldn’t be any higher.

If you saw our convention in Denver, I’m sure you know that Democrats are 100 percent ready to go to work to win big!

That has a lot to do with Hillary. I couldn’t have been more proud of the speech she gave in Denver. She made it clear why, if you supported her candidacy, you should also support Barack Obama.

Her historic speech inspired me and millions of others, and it was a great reminder of how important it is that we also continue to support Hillary’s efforts to speak out on behalf of ordinary Americans. There’s no better way to show her your continuing support right now than by making a contribution today. And if you contribute $50 or more, you’ll get a DVD with her historic speech in Denver and the inspiring video that introduced her. It’ll include a message that Hillary recorded just for you, where she shares some special moments from her week in Denver. And we’ll put my speech on there for you, too. For a limited time only if you contribute $250 or more you will receive the special “Signature” edition personally signed by Hillary.

Contribute today, and you’ll receive a DVD copy of Hillary’s and my convention speeches.

After an 18-month primary campaign, Democrats are coming together with one purpose: to elect Barack Obama. After eight years of George W. Bush, America is hungry for real change.

Thank you for everything,

Bill Clinton

Here’s my reply:

Dear President Clinton,

I’ve worked hard for your campaign in the 90′s, I was one of your volunteers; I’ve worked hard when VP Gore ran for President in 2000, I’ve done the same thing for Kerry in 2004. I’m a bleeding heart Democrat.

Bill, I have a lot of respect for you, you’re the best President in my generation as far as I am concern. Now you’re asking me to contribute to Obama? Bill, I can’t send even half penny for Obama, he is wrong for America.

You can ask me for anything, but NEVER ask me to support Obama financially or vote for him, that is like selling my soul to the devil. You and Hillary will always have my support; but when it comes to Obama, we have to part ways.

Sincerely,

#619 ladyhawkke on 09.16.08 at 5:34 pm

#625 Blue Blue Gal on 09.16.08 at 5:37 pm

DATE: September 15, 2008

TO: Puma PAC
FROM: Murphy
SUBJECT: Register PROWL

Hello Puma PAC,

We have 50 days until Election Day. Right now the Obama Movement is in meltdown. The polls show a continuing decline for Obama/Biden and a continuing upward trend for McCain/Palin.

This is when we have to start worrying about desperate, last-ditch efforts by the Obama Movement to try to manipulate the outcome on November 4th. Voter fraud, perpetrated by Obama followers, through “absentee balloting” is a very real possibility.

Today the Obama Movement unveiled a nifty little internet tool that makes it VERY EASY to register to vote. (They also sneaked in a way to hold on to YOUR private information, including your Driver’s License number.)

Today, we are sending the message to the Obama Movement that Puma PAC is WATCHING. Chicago style might work where they come from, but it is NOT the way voters like things done. Puma PAC believes in free and FAIR elections. Cheating and rule-bending are UNACCEPTABLE and un-American.

Please go to this site and fill out an application to register to vote. http://www.voteforchange.com/index_obama.php?source=091008emailR#

Here is the information to use when filling out the form:

Name: Barry Sotero
Address: 233 North Michigan Avenue,
City, State: Chicago IL, 60601(Obama’s Chicago campaign HQ)
Tel: 866-675-2008
Email: democraticparty@democrats.org
Last 4 digits of Social Security Number: 0061 (I made that up)

Be SURE to type Puma Democratic Party in the spot that asks for your party affiliation.

Once you’ve filled out the online form, print it out and mail it to the Obama HQ. Be sure to include some Puma PAC cash as a friendly donation and seal the form with a kiss.

The address again: Barack Obama, 233 North Michigan Avenue, Chicago IL, 60601

The second part of this PROWL is to call the Obama HQ immediately and ask the following question: When will Barack Obama stop trying to steal elections? Use this phone number: 866-675-2008.

This might seem like a game, but it IS NOT. We are trying to attract attention to our cause BEFORE it is too late.

Thank you and Good Luck,

Murphy.

I too have worried about a violent aftermath. I’ve ended all discussions with anyone I know about politics – I am tired of hearing accusations, and even my neighbors don’t know who I’m voting for. I’m sick of the hateful anger and I worry about what they might say to my children. How sad is this – I thought we were living in a democracy.

#630 bobram on 09.16.08 at 5:40 pm

LADYHAWKEE – No – I would just post what you said in your letter and any links that you might have to substantiate anything – they already got back to me earlier saying they would investigate it and all I gave them were little tidbits here and there – they reach a much larger viewing audience than a newspaper would.
Cut and paste and you are good to go.

She tried to get the people to see the light and when she did it is like she slammed the door in our faces and started kissing his booty. If she could only see how she looks campaigning for him. Hillary is the one who brough all of this to our attention about OBAMA and now she wants us to vote for him. Has she lost her freaking mind. that is a NO BUT HECK NO!!!!!

Delegate Count Prowl 9/8/08

Below will be a long post, but I thought it would be good to report results of this Prowl.
After my phone conversatin with Alice Germond I tried to get the information form the NJ State DNC. After 2 days of calls with no results I e-mailed Craig Smith, who was mentioned in my conversation with Alice Germond as someone from the Clinton Campaign who had checked the delegate records in the head office in DC.
My e-mail…

Subject: Citizen Requet

Dear Mr. Smith,

I am writing as an interested supporter of Hillary Clinton and one time democrat. I was very upset, as were many others, by the DNC and the entire primary and convention process.
I would like to know how the delegate votes were cast at the convention. I called the DNC and Alice Germond returned my call. She told me you had been in that morning to check the records for Hillary Clinton. She also gave me the number to call here in NJ to get the information I requested. I have called several times over two days but was unable to reach anyone with the proper credentials to speak with. That explains why I have decided to contact you.
I would like to know 1. The convention ballet vote taken in the morning at the hotel or breakfast, 2. Did each delegate vote as record indicated?
In reference to questions 1 & 2 I believe as a citizen of the U.S. and a resident voter I have the right to know who (by Name) were the delegates that voted for each candidate. I hope I have presented my concerns and questions clearly. Any help you can give would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you,

C. Smith response…

Thanks for your inquiry and we looked into that situation.
The ballots were distributed in the morning at the delegation breakfasts. Delegates could vote then and could continue voting until the roll call began.
During the course of the day, about 60 people who had voted changed their mind and voted for a different candidate than originally indicated. During the course of the day about 40 people switched from Obama to Hillary and about 20 switched from Hillary to Obama.
All told there were several hundred people who did not vote including Barack Obama and Ted Kennedy (who did attach a letter indicating his support for Obama but because he was not there to sign his ballot, his vote was not counted).
In total, it appears that voting process was fair and accurately reflected the will of the delegates as express on the ballots.
Now several delegates reported that they felt pressured to vote one way or another and that I cannot comment on. All I can say is that the ballots were fairly distributed, the voting process was appropriately handled by the DNC and that the final totals reflect the will of the delegates as indicated by the ballots.
Hope this helps.
As for New Jersey, every delegate that voted in the delegation voted for Barack Obama. It was one of about 5 delegations that cast unanimous votes.

And my resply…

Dear Mr. Smith:

Thanks you for your speedy response to my questions. However, your answers only convey something kin to double talk. From my observations at the very least one can say there was confusion at the convention. As Don Fowler said on a YouTube video, last February, “bad conventions lose elections.” I suppose it all depends on what one defines as “bad.” The pseudo “Unity” displayed at the convention only left doubts in the minds of many voters, especially supporters of Hillary Clinton. We would like to know why our votes weren’t represented as we intended. In New Jersey Hillary won the state on February 5th. Sorry if this sounds like I am beating a dead horse, however there can’t be unity in a party that refuses to respect voters’ wishes. Since I can’t find out which delegates honored their responsibility to their constituents I will assume none did. Hence I will not support any Democratic candidate in the upcoming elections. Lastly, the “bad” convention statement will likely come to fruition in November, when the Republican Party wins AGAIN!

I have changed party affiliation and now call myself “independent” and will remain so until there is true reform in the Democratic Party. I believe in the philosophy of the Party but not in their undemocratic actions. We all know actions speak louder than words!

Thank you again for your response and hope the Clintons know there is still a huge amount of support for them among “independent” thinking Democrats!

Hi SouthJersey,

Someone prolly already said this earlier, but I’d like to also reiterate…

Not to worry, that was not a real puma, but an Obot sent to sow dissension in the ranks here.

SJP, come visit my partially tended blog (I am insane busy anymore) that I started for all my Puma pics I’ve collected… The more PUMA sites the better, the more PUMA the better. There are all flavors of PUMA, and everyone has a voice that needs to be heard, and we will all be working together for the rest of our lives and beyond with our generations to come. I’ll come check you out!

ps – Obots, get a life, because you will definitely need something to do after November 5th (after you all stop crying, rioting, committing hara-kiri, meditating, or whatever)

OMG I think I might have to become a repub.
Busing, schools, democrats

I live in an area of NC that is quite racially divided. There are many poor black areas with under preforming schools, not due to lack of money. Mainly due to lack of interest by the parents in these poor areas (not an opinion, its a fact, thats why they want busing). A new school board is up for re-election. ALL the dems that are running want to go back to busing. My street is one picked to send kids 40mins across town to a school that is not preforming and has the highest crime rate in the area. Not only will I not be able to sell my house, its value will not hold to the houses around the corner slated to stick with our neighborhood school. The repubs. want to keep neighborhood schools. The dems dont. stating diversity. Which is fine for them, their kids arent being bused. So lets see, if BO gets in I will pay more in taxes (small bus. tax) to help pay for programs for the poor (fine) BUT my home value will decrease, my children will be bused, and I get to pay for it! WTF

#669 Anna7000 on 09.16.08 at 6:07 pm

RE: LETTERS TO THE MEDIA

I strongly recommend that:

1. You read the guidelines for some of the mainstream press to get an idea of maximum length. No point in sending a fantastic letter that won’t get read cause it’s simply way too long. Click on the Washington Post or NY Times sites and go to letters or op-ed guidelines.

2. Assume most papers have a maximum of around 1,000 words. Some allow a bit more (1200), some require less (750).

Hone your letter. Might find you have enough ideas to break out into several different letters.

Yes Danceswithpumas, I agree. It was not the “fickle finger of fate.” It was calculated direct action by the DNC and the Obama camp.

I’ve started to think about our movement and what direction it might take and I am ambivalent or maybe pessimistic about what course we could take. Our ideology doesn’t fit with that of conservative women’s or so-called women from the Left, so where do we go from here? I am a Democrat (or will be one once the Party is reformed), but I’m also a feminist. In any case, I might just be thinking out-loud here. I’ll bring this up again once I have concrete plans/ideas. I just don’t see women on the Left embracing a new feminist movement. They are totally stuck in the 1970s. I mean, NOW endorsed BO. I don’t know what that’s about. They should have kept their mouths shut. I just don’t understand NOW’s mentality.

Something stinks in Alaska, and it’s not moose poop:

http://community.adn.com/adn/node/131386

“Five Alaska Legislators, Rep. Wes Keller, Rep. Mike Kelly, Rep. Bob Lynn, Sen. Fred Dyson, and Sen. Tom Wagoner, will file suit in state superior court in Anchorage tomorrow morning (9/16/08) at 9:00 am (Superior courthouse 4th Avenue) against Sen. French, Sen. Kim Elton, Stephen Branchflower and the Alaska Legislative Council in order to halt the investigation of Governor Sarah Palin and others because the investigators have lost the appearance of impartiality required under the Alaska Constitution…

The investigation, which began after Monegan’s dismissal in July 2008, is being led by outspoken supporters of Barack Obama and members of the Democratic Party. Sen. Elton, the Chair of the Legislative Council donated $2,000 to the Obama campaign but has failed to disclose this to the Legislative Council and he continues to preside over the Council with respect to the investigation, refusing to convene meetings of the Council at the request of a majority of the Council’s membership. Sen. French the investigation “project manager” failed to disclose to the Legislative Council the comments he made on a radio program criticizing the Governor’s conduct regarding the termination of Monegan as “criminal” prior to being appointed as the investigation “project manager” and even prior to a vote to investigate at all. Sen. French also failed to disclose to the Legislative Council that he had a personal bone to pick with the Governor over the Monegan firing because Monegan was a friend and because he had worked closely with Monegan during the 2008 legislative session regarding attempts to include in the state budget items that Governor Palin had vetoed.”

#688 kat in your hat on 09.16.08 at 6:35 pm

Just saw that McCain suggested Obama is exploiting the financial shape of the country, using it for opportunism..and to raise more funds.

McCain and Palin sat down in a diner with locals after a rally, while Obama was in Bevery Hills for a fundraiser: Barbara Streisand…$30,000 for meal and show.

puke.

How can Obama keep running around complaining about the economy with a straight face? HE’S THE ONE who chose private campaign financing…putting the burden on the public to support him financially.

What has Obama raised so far? Half a billion or what?

Pumas, be very careful when considering the shape of the economy. I know it’s not amazing, but Obama-Media controls so much right now, and I think there is some spin or some exploitation to HELP OBAMA.

I am in the process of writng a proposal of mine to my state senators and congresspeople concerning schoo,busing for the purpose of integration..
we here in the USA are in a serious deep energy crisis that demnds serious solutions to lessen our dependence on foreign oil and make our country more energy efficient.My proposal is that the USA END all forms of school busing for the purposes of integration and that all students attend the school that is nearest their residence.Nationally this would save an incredible amount of gas,oil and public expenses…it would help our country become more independent..

Chippewa Falls is near Eau Claire (I know because years ago I was a public school teacher in Bloomer) and quite a ways a way (near MN), and Milwaukee is near IL. The Fox Valley is just south of the Green Bay Packers and is in the East-Central part of the state.

Obama’s Finance Chair, Failed Bank Owner Penny Pritzker And Today’s Wall Street Problem

“You see, while Barack Obama is faking outrage over all the bankruptcies and bailouts, he doesn’t mention that a number of his top ten contributors are from Wall Street, including Goldman Sacs, Lehman and the JP Morgan Chase. He also fails to mention that one of the first subprime lenders to stick it to borrowers and have her bank seized is a woman named Penny Pritzker, who just happens to be Barack Obama’s campaign Finance Chair (as confirmed on April 3, 2008) and a potential Secretary of the Treasury in an Obama administration.”

I must be up front with you, I am not a Hillary supporter, but I am anti-Obama and think our country would be heading for a disaster if he were elected. I admire your dedication and focus to prevent O’s election.

slyt2 – thanks for posting that link. interesting. be curious to see how it unfolds in the press next week.

puma pal – ugh. i think there are so many factors that go into polling, who can sort it all out. in any case, it’s probably statistically quite possible to be going one direction in the polls (though not dramatically so) and yet be going in another in the electoral college. that’s why, for me, the electoral college map is way more significant than basic poll percentages. also, i follow the iowa electronic market and the other trading markets since those have proven to be far better predictors of outcomes than traditional polls. i’ll be interested to read what other’s think about your poll question….

#705 kat in your hat on 09.16.08 at 6:58 pm

Why can’t we form “Puma Tipsters” and send the media news from the internet non-stop? They will pay more attention if it comes from many people.

#706 BillieJo on 09.16.08 at 6:59 pm

A friend sent me this, written by

Dick Morris

OBAMA AND WOMEN: AN UNHAPPY COURTSHIP
Obama has never gone out of his way to relate to women. Only seven of his top twenty Senate staff positions are filled by women (McCain has thirteen of twenty) and women on Obama’s staff earn 83 cents for each dollar his male staffers are paid. (McCain pays his female staffers $1.04 for each dollar he pays to his men).

From the very first moment Obama entered the presidential race, feminists resented him for trying to stop Hillary from becoming the first woman to be elected president. In the minds of feminists, the fifteenth Amendment (giving blacks the vote) competed with the nineteenth (women’s suffrage) for national attention. Even though women had to wait more than fifty years longer than African-Americans to get the vote, feminists were in no mood to let a black man get elected in place of a white woman, especially if her name was Hillary Clinton.

Clearly the Obama/Clinton race triggered ill feelings among many women and laid the basis for the problems Obama was to have in the general election. He won the nomination by beating a woman and then hoped to capitalize on the votes of women to get elected in November. As the race developed, the elbows got sharper and the rhetoric of both sides seemed to emphasize race and gender more and more. Hillary appealed for the votes of “white working people” while Obama lambasted and ridiculed her defense of guns by calling her “Annie Oakley.”

Although Obama always spoke of Hillary respectfully in public, it was clear to all voters that some ill will had crept into their relationship. After the primaries, Hillary postponed her concession for at least a week as pressure built on her to step aside. For his part, Obama seemed to snub Hillary, passing up opportunities to meet her and doing little to help her raise funds to pay off her campaign debt.

As it became clearer that he was not about to select Hillary for vice-president, the mutual animosity seemed to escalate. Obama made it clear that he would not even consider Hillary for vice president, ostentatiously refusing to vet her or to include her on his short list of candidates.

By early July, even as Obama led McCain in the polls, it was evident that his drawing power among women was dwindling. The downhill progression of that relationship and the steps the Republicans took to hasten its demise, may explain the true turning point of the 2008 election.

Then the McCain campaign pulled off one of the most successful head fakes in modern American politics. Obama had to decide not only whether or not to choose Hillary, but whether to go with another woman, likely Kansas Governor Kathleen Sebelius. Had he opted for either woman, the odds are that he would have won the election, but McCain out maneuvered him. Through leaks and judiciously planted stories, the McCain campaign convinced Obama and his people that the Republicans were going to nominate a man – Romney, Lieberman, or Minnesota Governor Tim Pawlenty – instead of Sarah Palin who they had, in fact, been eyeing for the job for weeks and weeks before.

But then the Democrats compounded the error by attacking Palin and doing so on personal, gender based issues, no less. It was a gift to the Republicans even their most sophisticated strategists could not have anticipated. And what was the leading charge against Palin? That her daughter was pregnant and not married!

McCain wisely told the media that Sarah had informed him of the situation before he offered her the job and that he said it would make no difference in his decision. In one stroke, the Democrats undid all the good for themselves they had accomplished in decades of support for welfare, food stamps, day care, rent subsidies, headstart programs, and abortion. By seeming to suggest that a woman should be disqualified because her daughter was pregnant and unmarried was a slap in the face of the tens of millions of Democratic single women voters upon whom the party depended for its fabled gender gap.

they say that the post convention bounce is finding a new level,thay also said the economy is giving obama some leverage against mccain in the past few days..
they both agree its too close to call now..

#711 Bella-Me on 09.16.08 at 7:07 pm

Did you all get your Hillary/Bill Clinton email today? Here is the letter:

Dear _________,

If any of you are watching the latest Republican tactics and seeing the latest attacks from John McCain and Sarah Palin, you know to win in November and reverse the mistakes and misplaced priorities of the last eight years it’s going to take all of us working together. The stakes couldn’t be any higher.

If you saw our convention in Denver, I’m sure you know that Democrats are 100 percent ready to go to work to win big!

That has a lot to do with Hillary. I couldn’t have been more proud of the speech she gave in Denver. She made it clear why, if you supported her candidacy, you should also support Barack Obama.

Her historic speech inspired me and millions of others, and it was a great reminder of how important it is that we also continue to support Hillary’s efforts to speak out on behalf of ordinary Americans. There’s no better way to show her your continuing support right now than by making a contribution today. And if you contribute $50 or more, you’ll get a DVD with her historic speech in Denver and the inspiring video that introduced her. It’ll include a message that Hillary recorded just for you, where she shares some special moments from her week in Denver. And we’ll put my speech on there for you, too. For a limited time only if you contribute $250 or more you will receive the special “Signature” edition personally signed by Hillary.

Contribute today, and you’ll receive a DVD copy of Hillary’s and my convention speeches.

After an 18-month primary campaign, Democrats are coming together with one purpose: to elect Barack Obama. After eight years of George W. Bush, America is hungry for real change.

It’s the kind of change that someone like John McCain — who has voted with George W. Bush 90 percent of the time — just can’t bring. Hillary and I are going to do everything we can to help make Barack Obama president, and we are going to keep fighting for our values, just as we have all along.

Help Hillary continue to make history. Donate $50 today, and you’ll get a DVD of her historic convention speech — and mine, too!

If you give $250 or more you will get a special edition signed by Hillary!

This is going to be a great year for Democrats and for America. I hope you’re as excited about it as I am.

Thank you for everything,

Bill Clinton

Here is my response:
Dear Hillary,

I have been a democrat my entire voting life. The way the DNC broke the rules and dismissed you as a valuable and worthy candidate has made be look closer to who I would like to support come November 4th. I feel both campaigns have done their share of negative ads. Both candidates use rhetoric during their campaigning. So when I sit and give much thought to my decision as to who I feel I can trust as the next President of the United States my gut instincts tell me Senator John Mc Cain is the candidate up for the job. I also believe Governor Palin is more experienced than Senator Obama, and she is ready to step into the oval office if need be.

When you were running against Barrack Obama you told your supporters we could not trust in his lack of experience. You told us he would not be ready to take on the big problems this country will be facing if he would be elected President. You told us he would not be able to take the 3:00 a.m. phone call. You told us he is NOT ready for the oval office. You told us we need someone with experience and a record to prove it. I listened to you and believed in your words. I can NOT dismiss these words of warning and not heed them just because you have decided to stay true to your party, and support a man, you did not trust in or believe to be ready for this job.

The DNC and Barrack Obama were wrong in the way they treated you during the primaries. They were wrong to force you out, they were wrong to disenfranchise your 18 million voters. They mocked you, they disrespected you, they cheated you from your rightful spot on this ticket and if that were not enough, they then snubbed you and overlooked the fact they should have chosen you as Obama’s Vice President.

You were a true inspiration to your 18 million supporters who went to the polls to cast their vote for you. This was your time and the country knew it. Governor Sarah Palin even said she is sure he regrets not picking you. I detest how the liberals and media have attacked Governor Palin and her family. I will never call myself a Democrat ever again. The Democrats have made me ashamed to say I was a part of this party. They have some serious rebuilding of the people’s trust after this election is over. They have taken the democracy out of the party.

For the first time in my adult life, I am proud, to vote Republican.

Regrets,

(One of your 18 million cracks in the glass ceiling, hoping Governor Palin will shatter it.)

Are all of you aware of Philip Berg’s lawsuit??

I have spoken to him PERSONALLY!!!!!!! He assures everything on his site is legit!!!!!!!!

He says that Obama’s mother on his father’s side, his half sister, and half brother say that BO was born in Kenya!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! NOT HAWAII!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

That i can find BO has three birthdays.
8/4/61
8/8/61
4/8/61

The third one is listed on his ORIGINAL school records from Kenya. Which not only list him as an Indonesian citizen, but also list his religion as ISLAM!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Do you PUMA’S realize what this means???? Even if BO was born in Hawaii, when his mother moved to Kenya and married Seotoro, she and BO AUTOMATICALLY LOST THEIR CITIZENSHIP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Which Berg says BO never reapplied for according to his investigation. Even if he did, he would only be “naturalized” not “natural-born.” Which means he is NOT ELIGABLE to even run for president!!!!!!!!!!!

According to Berg there was NO VETTING OF BO BY THE DNC TO EVEN CHECK HIS ELIGABILITY!!!!!!!!! They just picked him.

We need to ban together and flood the media with email and the DNC to let them know we are watching this lawsuit CLOSELY!!!!!!!!!!

Berg has been granted EXPEDITED DISCOVERY IN THE CASE!!!!!!!!!!

BO and Howard Dean have until Sept. 24th to turn over all aspects of BO’s birth certificate, any adoption papers, any papers published by him clear back to Columbia, his THESIS, senate records, the works!!!!!!!

#687 osaka puma I am in the process of writng a proposal of mine to my state……….

If you would ever like to share any parts of your proposal, I would love to see it. There are 3 board meetings coming up, I need to get on it. I couldnt agree with you more in regards to the gas used for busing. Its beyond reason. Right now I am so angry with this whole issue. It will put us under. We are already in $$ hardship due to housing market. All savings gone. All we have left is our home and found solice in the investment of our neighborhood for the schools. We have 4 children. If you would like to share any of your ideas my puma email is hillfan4mccainpuma@gmail.com

dances – i wasn’t able to open the link. the piece i was thinking of was the one where dr. long makes a case for sarah palin based pretty much solely on the fact that governor palin is female. it was a thoughtful piece, and whether one agreed with her argument or not, i thought it was very well written.

#721 goodcitizen on 09.16.08 at 7:17 pm

#631 TEXS4HILLARY, Hillary is in DNC’s political prison, she has no choice. The show has to be on until that puppet Obama loses in Nov. Hillary and Bill already suffered a lot, we, the Hillary supporters know exactly what we will do in Nov. I cry every time when the OB camp put Hillary and Bill on the stage to speak for him as if they are the hostages. I swear to god that puppet Obama will get the same treatment when he loses in Nov.

#723 Anna7000 on 09.16.08 at 7:18 pm

dances – was able to open the reposted link. i think that’s the piece i had in mind, but it’s formatted pretty strangely on the page. it’s very landscape!!!!

#724 Laurey4Hill on 09.16.08 at 7:19 pm

Was this the only one today?

Happy Birthday Bobram!

James was saying McCain did himself in with the economy remark yesterday. That Bo will use that every day now until Nov. in his favor. Never letting us forget.

Then he rambled………….

It is “hmtl”, I used a different naming convention, but just corrected all the resources sections of the action center to reflect ‘html”

#728 Bella-Me on 09.16.08 at 7:23 pm

Thank you all….I must say it hurts my soul to have to write that letter. Hillary and Bill are not being true to themselves or their supporters. They have chosen party over country. I feel so betrayed every time I see one of them try to convince us to support NOBAMA. :(

#729 NVPuma on 09.16.08 at 7:24 pm

OMG!! This afternoon, not feeling well, I was dozing on the couch when I was suddenly brought wide awake. FOX was on the TV I think it was Cavuto interviewing someone who said he thought someone was attempting to start a race war. The other guy said that we are already in one.
Now that’s just great.
