I was searching the intertoobz for pictures of Rezko’s slum buildings — you know, the ones that he received ONE HUNDRED MILLION DOLLARS from Illinois’ and American taxpayers (the rolling rivers of cash guided into his back account with a little help from his friend Barack Obama) to rebuild — and NEVER DID??
Yeah, those ones. It’s funny — if I want to find pictures of slums in Boston, New York, Los Angeles, or Miami all I have to do is type: “urban decay” into The Google and, voila! All SORTS of discouraging images pop up. But go ahead and try to find images of “rezko buildings,” or “chicago south side,” all of the images have been SCRUBBED. Gone. Go back in the archives of No Quarter and look what happened to the images that used to be there. GONE.
Kind of reminds me of this story from this morning. Couldn’t happen here, right?
That little story out of Saint Louis two weeks ago was no canary in the coal mine, right? Truth Squads prosecuting political speech is nothing to worry about!
Anyone?
Watch this:
From comments this morning:
Has anyone ever been to the South Side of Chicago ??? I have - many times . The residents there have been surviving in sub-standard conditions for years . There are no jobs , crime is rampant , and the housing conditions are so poor it is a complimentary exaggeration to call them slums. The word ‘projects’ indicates a work in progress , but on the Chicago’s south side it takes on a different meaning - a stagnant , decaying slum . 11 of these deplorable buildings on the south side are owned by Obama’s friend Tony Rezco.
Obama funneled State money to Rezco to ” improve conditions in those buildings ‘ - never happened.
Obama also funneled $100,000 for a ‘ let them eat cake’ gazebo on the south side . The gazebo was never built even though I am sure that those families who are living in falling down buildings in crime infested neighborhoods were really hoping for a freaking gazeebo .Sen. Obama handed his wife’s employer a 1 million dollar earmark . He requested 3 million to update a projector at the Sky Theater . Trinity Church and Rev. Pfleger benifited from the 100 million dollars Obama doled out for the Annenberg Challenge which was SUPPOSED to have been used to help the failing public school system . Some of the programs Obama turned down for grants were : The Chicago Algebra project , and The District 5 Math Initiative - both are worthy projects that the public school system desperatly needed to finance . Meanwhile , Obama’s buddies , and radical groups received millions .
When you go to vote this year , I would encourage you to check out the South Side of Chicago , Obama’s own Senate district . See what “Change” Obama has brought to his own district . Take a look at how his ‘leadership’ has ‘improved’ his own community , and then ask yourself , ” If Senator Obama doesn’t care about his own community, what will he do for me ?”
Good morning , Pumas Just had to get that off my chest .

I love the line “he launched his political career in the living room of a domestic terrorist.”
When you say it that way, it does sound truly horrible and like something that should disqualify a person from being POTUS.
Of course, once again, “this is not the Bill ayers I knew.” And people will buy that?
I was in college in the 60’s and aerly 70’s and I marched for Civil Rights and against the War, but I never thought that being violent myself was the right thing to too.

Obama funneled state money to family
The Associated Press has probed Barack Obama’s earmarking activities in the Illinois state senate and discovered two grants that put state money in the hands of Michelle Obama’s cousin. Capers Funnye received $75,000 from Obama for his organization, Blue Gargoyle, for adult literacy and youth group activities. Read HERE.

first I guess…hell has frozen over
I apologize for what I’m about to say but…..
This is the email I just sent to the view about Sherri Shepard……and frankly I do enjoy The View…..but lately they are out of control especially her.
OKAY folks…the panel is out of control when it comes to politics…even Barbara isn’t being truthful and rational when it comes to Bill Ayres and his criminal history…………….
But most all Sherri is COMPLETELY OUT OF CONTROL anytime anything is say in opposition of Obama..she is not acting like a civilized mature person she is acting and reacting like the stereotypical ANGRY BLACK WOMEN out of control.
They better research their political FACTS before they start mouthing off about it is all a character attack on poor OBAMA.
EITHER TONE HER DOWN TO A HUMAN LEVEL OR GET RID OF HER LIKE YOU DID WITH ROSIE O…….THERE IS NO PLACE ON YOUR SHOW FOR THAT TYPE OF BEHAVIOR.
Flattered
I wanted to post this in the hopes that the McCain camp is monitoring the blog……
The talk among everyday voters is how we need CHANGE in the economy and how Bozo is the “CHANGE” candidate. Translation = a vote for Bozo is a vote for a better economy. THEY NEED IT SPELLED OUT TO THEM IN PLAIN AND SIMPLE TERMS THAT Bozo and friends are to BLAME for the current mess. They haven’t heard or seen the videos of the Congressional Black Caucus, Community Reinvestment Act, Franklin Raines, Jim Johnson, Maxine waters stating, “Mr. Chairmen we do not have a crisis at Freddie Mac and in particularly at Fannie Mae under the OUTSTANDING LEADERSHIP IF MR. FRANK RAINES” AND they haven’t heard other DEMOCRATS like Gregory Meeks spewing hatred for those who were calling for regulation, Lacey Clay saying the markets are not worried about Freddie and Fannie, Arthur Davis, Barney Frank saying there is nothing that raises soundness problems….. AND PRESIDENT CLINTON ADMITTING IN HIS OWN WORDS IT IS THE DEMOCRATS FAULT!!!
PLEASE< PLEASE< PLEASE SPELL IT OUT TO THE AMERICAN VOTERS HOW A VOTE FOR OBAMA IS THE REAL “MORE OF THE SAME” VOTE.
TELL THEM IN NO UNCERTAIN TERMS ABOUT REPUBLICANS like Ed Royce, Richard Baker, Christopher Shays, Don Manzullo, and JOHN MCCAIN calling the democrats out for the payoffs they took from these organizations and how the republicans were the ones calling for MORE regulation!
AND PLEASE PUT OUT A COMMERCIAL SHOWING THESE ATROCITIES COMING FROM THE DEMOCRAT’S OWN MOUTHS SO THEY CANNOT SPIN THEIR WAY OUT OF IT.

Hello
Good Morning everyone…
Texas — Congrats!
Your morning GROWL was an AWESOME post!
Well-deserved recognition at the top of this thread.
Ron4Hills (to answer your question from downstairs):
Latest comments from McCain gives me some hope that he is finally going to take the gloves off:
MCcain sticks it to Obama with some Straight Talk in Albuquerque, NM:
“I don’t need lessons about telling the truth to American people. And were I ever to need any improvement in that regard, I probably wouldn’t seek advice from a Chicago politician.”
“Senator Obama has accused me of opposing regulation to avert this crisis. I guess he believes if a lie is big enough and repeated often enough it will be believed. But the truth is I was the one who called at the time for tighter restrictions on Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac that could have helped prevent this crisis from happening in the first place.”
“Senator Obama was silent on the regulation of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, and his Democratic allies in Congress opposed every effort to rein them in.”
“As recently as September of last year he said that subprime loans had been, quote, “a good idea.” Well, Senator Obama, that “good idea” has now plunged this country into the worst financial crisis since the Great Depression.”
“To hear him talk now, you’d think he’d always opposed the dangerous practices at these institutions. But there is absolutely nothing in his record to suggest he did.”
“He was surely familiar with the people who were creating this problem. The executives of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac have advised him, and he has taken their money for his campaign. He has received more money from Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac than any other senator in history, with the exception of the chairman of the committee overseeing them. Did he ever talk to the executives at Fannie and Freddie about these reckless loans?”
“Did he ever discuss with them the stronger oversight I proposed? If Senator Obama is such a champion of financial regulation, why didn’t he support these regulations that could have prevented this crisis in the first place? He won’t tell you, but you deserve an answer.”
Now talking about “illegal campaign donors and failure to disclose them, accusing him of double-dealing and lying to the American people, aiding and abetting the financial crisis by taking money from Fannie and Freddie…”
Good mid-morning.
look! CNN doing some actual, you know, INVESTIGATIVE REPORTING!

10 notfollowinthepiedpiper - AWESOME !!!
I sent it to the media with the Heading , “Lets Keep the Focus on the Economy ”
what happened to McCain “the maverick”? . . . the one who promised a respectful campaign!!! He even said 2 months ago-once you start going negative-it proves you have no vision for the future!!!
he has no plans whatsoever on either the economy or international relations . . . just more of the same Bush policies that got us here in the first place
so now he’s going to drag the country into the mud for the next month in a desperate and greedy attempt to scare the country about voting for Obama because he’s a “black”, “muslim”, “terrorist” It didn’t work for Hillary.
The John McCain I once admired has sold his soul . . . he has no honor -and picking that twit wasn’t putting country first-it was putting himself first–good luck–I now look like a fool-trying to convice BO supporters to go for McCain–they look at me like I am an idiot. With the economy in the tank-and 2 wars–he should have gone negative early–not 29 days out–unbeleivable.
Well, I went out prowling and come back to find a new thread. I just can’t make it. I did however manage twice. Now I find that I have a subject for another prowl. The disappearing of anything that might be construed as negative to Obama. The horrifying aspect of all this is that there are people who apparently well informed and intelligent people who are willing partners in this conspiracy.
so weird –some polls have mccain down by 3 and others have him down by 8 to 10..
talk about mood swings ..hehe
c4hill.. are you serious?
#17 c4hill huh?? once more I ask…. why is telling the truth about someone negative? ….unless of course the truth itself is negative!
McCain/Palin for truth!
McCain/ Palin 2008
re:the view–Sheri is there to counter Elisabeth–who still thenk Sarah Palin was a good choice–
Also, McCain better be careful playing the association game–it won’t bode well for him–however you feel-Keating 5 is far more relevant than Ayers–even the National Review thinks the Ayers thng is silly–come on people!
Obama interviewed by Brokaw at private Goldman Sachs dinner last year.
WASHINGTON–On May 3, 2007, Barack Obama attended an event at the Museum of Modern Art in Manhattan that was not on his public schedule and is only now surfacing–a private dinner for Goldman Sachs traders with a discussion on issues moderated for the Wall Street firm by NBC’s Tom Brokaw.
Brokaw is the moderator of Tuesday’s second presidential debate between Obama and John McCain at Belmont University in Nashville, Tenn.
The dinner was not a fund-raiser for Obama, then in the early stages of his Democratic primary campaign launched February, 2007. Brokaw interviewed Obama for about 45 minutes on mostly international issues. Brokaw received an honorarium, donated to charity. The Obama campaign called the event a “moderated conversation” when I inquired on Monday.
Brokaw’s appearance was arranged through Goldman Sachs–not the Obama campaign. It was the only session Brokaw did for Goldman. Brokaw’s honorarium was given to a charity.
The employees of Goldman Sachs collectively would go on to become the top contributors to the Obama campaign.
Bundled together, by Sept. 28, 2008, the latest figures available, Goldman Sachs members or their families contributed $739,521 to Obama, making the firm number one source of donors to the Obama campaign, according to the Center for Responsive Politics. To be clear–Goldman Sachs did not make any contributions (that’s not allowed by federal law)– the money was from individuals connected to the firm. The CRP analysis is of contributions of $200 and more.
The sum does not include money raised by two major Obama fund-raisers: Bruce Heyman, an executive at the firm and James Johnson, a Goldman Sachs board member and former chairman and CEO of Fannie Mae, the failed mortgage giant in the news because of the subprime mortgage crisis that led to the economic collapse.
Johnson was originally tapped by Obama to lead his vice presidential vetting squad until he quit because of his own controversies.
An April 18, 2007 Bloomberg News article about top campaign bundlers noted that Obama addressed the Goldman’s annual partners meeting 2006 in Chicago.

GB PUMA:
Nothing to apologize for your opinion of THE VIEW. They were absolutely out of control in their attack on Elizabeth when she mentioned AYERS. I don’t watch them anymore whereas formerly I wouldn’t miss an episode if at all possible. I saw the picture of all of them(almost physically) attacking Elizabeth. Walters and stretching out her hand etc. I hope that these women were able to see a replay of this absolutely disgusting episode.
1gypsy..
love to shoot down obama blowflies with rubber bands..hehe
the truth??? wow-talk about Kool aid drinking–again–even the National Review-the republican gospel-knows the ayers thing is ridiculous–I live in Chicago–If you worked with the education system-you probably dealt with ayers on some level-I can’t even beleive this was the best the McCain camp came up with. Even ardent republicans can’t beleive McCain is pulling this crap when the country is falling apart(but the fundamentals are strong(<:
21 notfollowinthepiedpiper ….. follow your instincts……….
off to work PUMAs, see you all tonight!
1gypsy.. have a nice day!!
28 osaka puma good PUMA!!
One of the biggest things that needs to be done is that they(McCain, etc.) need to do with Ayres and friends is not just that Obama’s associations are bad but how they continue and how specifically these connects are related to Obama….people need it very simply packaged and specific details….I keep getting comments from undecideds like “Well what does that have to do with him? I’ve been friends in the past with murders. So what does that have to do with him now?” and “Well if it is true then why aren’t they reporting on it on the regular news….It’s all just a bunch of rumors and if they have facts to back it up why isn’t it being reported?”….. and the idea of msm being in the tank for Obama doesn’t wash with most.
Hi everyone! How’s things going this morning? I have been writing e-mails this morning for our cause. I guess I have better read the blogs to catch up on things.
1gypsy.. in the immortal words of the great one “reginald van gleason”
“..ohhhhhh,you are a gooood one”

——————————–
Pffft easy for you to say. I walked into a disaster this morning.
’sides, the Puma movement is my ‘real’ work.
DWP:
I have to get back to the Hannity video but let you know I will send a complete copy to you at AC so others can burn copies.
c4hill–
WE MUST Talk about the issues…race, terrorism, lies, fascism….
the end is near people. THE CONFLUENCE no longer allows ME to post there…..calls me an OBOT and a fake puma. WELL FUCK THAT PEOPLE….all because I am calling the CLINTONS out on the floor. GO TO BO’s website and who the fuck do you see there but BILL FUCKING CLINTON Pimping up a storm….you don’t see Kerry and you don’t see Richardson and you don’t see anyone but THE CLINTONS!!!
Our heroes are DEAD. We are the only ones HERE to rescue us–and believing in FAKE ASS LIARS who sold us to the OBOT machine makes it worse.
Hillary Rodham Clinton is WORSE THAN OBOT….WORSE THAN OBOT….repeat after me….WORSE THAN OBOT…because she is smarter than him, and has empathy, but NOT ENOUGH. She and Bill sold us out…and I am pissed as hell.
I call 6 hours a day now. I am sorry if this makes me a BAD PUMA (all I know is Texas ponied up almost $20K because of MY ACTIONS raising money)…but at this point I think EVERY VOTER MUST BE REACHED and I am working as fast as I can. I am tired of talk and I want action.
I read at night when I cannot sleep…I read and when I still see things like Hillary 2012 or Palin/Hillary I think could I have been so blind….maybe, but not anymore.
If I get banned from PUMA, so be it. But I am the true freedom fighter–I will fight until they take my last breath from me…and I will suffer no idiots and accept no lies. I will hold MY HEROES to the same standard as my ENEMIES…and when they SOUND the same, SPEAK the same, and appear on the SAME website…well people they are the same…and at this point the only difference between NOBAMA and CLINTON is semantics….
where’s new Orleans this morning ???? I have something for her ….
The gloves have come off! Look at this new McCain ad. It cuts like a knife! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kIlUaKIB07E

I used to watch The View when I was sick and home from work. I quit watching because of Elizabeth and her nutty republican kool-aid views.
Now…

jenniforhillary dear, you’ll never be banned from Puma PAC. never.
c4hill, there’s a pretty little pier over here by the french doors. Why don’t you take a long walk?
thanks!
Well, OSAKA, you will see that I am fair. I agree with you about the Keating story. What the previous blogger neglected to say is that McCain was exonerated of any wrong doing. Therefore, as far as this election is concerned, the Keating affair IS A NON STORY.
sry dwp, didnt mean to rub it in. hope wack improves.
To my way of thinking, it’s not JUST Ayers. BO has a whole line of strange associates. And when you put all of them together it’s very uncomfortable. They are either racist, anti america, terrorists, or criminals.
Another thing is, BO lied ABOUT ALL OF THEM.
I just wanted to tell you all that the reports on the news about Jerome Corsi is only partly true!!! The true part is that he is being detained by the Kenyan Government. The rest of what they are saying is a big pile of S**T!!!!!!!!!
I don’t have all of the details yet, other than Jerome was going to hold a Press Conference to tell what he could and has so far. He had permission to do so from the Kenyan Government and then the Government swooped in when he arrived at the Hotel and put him in Detainment! He is STILL in Kenya!!!
More when I have it. Will be talking to Tim in Kenya again!!

c4hill:
C4, howz about you put down the pitcher and spend some time researching your Chosen candidate?
Obama himself states that he received the most important education of his life as a Saul Alinsky-inspired Community Organizer (Agitator) in Chicago.
Ask yourself honestly if a student of Saul Alinsky, author of “Rules for Radicals”, has the best interests of our Country at heart:
http://www.americanthinker.com/printpage/?url=http://www.americanthinker.com/2008/01/obamas_alinsky_jujitsu.html
Further, I would suggest that the folks at ACORN (Association of Community Organizers fro Reform Now) employ questionable, extortionist tactics to achieve their goals. As their lawyer and primary trainer, Senator Obama should explain, rather than try to hide, his ACORN affiliation:

Won’t even get into the judgment and character issues of any man who sits in a hate-filled “Church” for twenty years and allows his children to be exposed to Anti-American rants.

i get the feeling obamas campaign are feeling fear and dread over sarah palin and mccains latest attacks on his past connections
attack? are you kidding? Palin needs to go back to beauty pageants
Palin winking at the camera-”can I call you Joe” so she could use her “say it isn’t so joe” line-5 colleges for 1 degree-in journamism-but can’t name a publication–no wonder she was Gov. of Alaska-10:1 men to women ratio–men love the winks-and the thigh high boots she wore in the governors office–my GOP friends call her “Bible spice”

When I am getting bummed I sing a happy song , and then , to make me really happy , I change the words
So I changed the words to Jumbalaya to make me even mor happy than it already does . Unfortunately , now I can’t stop singing it …
Sing Along !
‘Hey , hey Joe , say it ain’t so me oh my oh
Me gotta vote for ole Mccain down on the bayou

Obama lies and still he tries to think I’m dumbo
Stole my vote then he ‘hope’ that I will ‘change’ oh
Son of a gun wont get this one on the bayou ”
End Rhetoric…
Sorry, but Sherri on the View is an idiot. She said previously that there was no one in history before Jesus and when questioned she looked blank and repeated it again. Jo Behar had to correct her and say that first came the Greeks and then the Romans and then Jesus. Sherri continued to look blank. She was obviously religiously brainwashed and I’m sure she’s politically brainwashed too.
39 - you go jennifer4hillary
I have the same feelings but I have not expressed them here since so many still adore the Clintons. I however feel betrayed.
lilibet — another thing. when talking about the Keating Scandal, McCain says “it was the biggest mistake of my life.” you’re right, he was never implicated in any wrong-doing, just censured for showing “poor judgment” in setting up a meeting. fair enough. he’s never run from his record. In fact the Keating Five Scandal is what prompted McCain to make campaign finance reform his signature issue — he admitted his mistake and then worked (successfully) to amend the culture that encourages that sort of cozy lobbyist-lawmaker relationship.
anyways, not writing McCain any love letters, but he doesnt hide from his own record, and he doesnt tell flat-out lies.
Obama LIES every single time he’s faced with his OWN RECORD! He lies about Ayers, Wright, Rezko — EVERYTHING.

Can’t find the pier Murphy so kindly pointed out to you?
…let me show you the way.
Osaka: The other thing BO won’t tell you is that McCain and Glenn were found not guilty. Nor will he tell you that Glenn now works on BO’s campaign, so I guess having been “involved” is only BAD from a relative point of view.

‘bible spice” … cute.
So, you’re saying she isn’t a woman of accomplishment? She became governor because men like boots and winking? If so, it sounds to me like you should be blaming stupid men for Palin’s rise in leadership positions, instead of Palin.
I’d love to hear what you had to say about Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton… not enough winks, boots not high enough?

Thanks again!

Why the attacks? Palin came from a working class family with 4 children and needed scholarship money to finish college. Is the the best best that you can come up with?

How about a new rule on PumaPac if a troll get 7 or more negative comments, they should be barred from posting?
They are a waste of time and energy.
Although sometimes we do need fresh meat like Michael Deane
They also scrubbed the SNL skit saying democrats created the crisis - I managed to save it at my site though.
And now the media has again declared Obama the winner - anyone who dares vote different - is racist
http://edgeoforever.wordpress.com/2008/10/07/media-obama-won-you-racists/
c4hill:
Ayers is as relevant today to Obama as he was over 20 years ago. They go back to Obama’s Columbia days. You keep drinking the Obama Koolaid. Here’s some tidbits:
In 1985 the Woods foundation gave a $25,000 grant to the Developing Communities Project (aka the “DCP”), which hired Obama, at 24, as an organizer on Chicago’s economically depressed South Side.” The Woods Fund was founded by the Woods family which owned the Illinois-based Sahara Coal Company, a major supplier of coal from its mines to major Illinois power companies. Commonwealth Edison, the giant Chicago-based electric power company was headed by Thomas Ayers, father of Bill Ayers.
Ayers’ wife, Bernadette Dorn in the late 80s worked in the law firm Sidley & Austin at the same time as Michelle Obama (then Robinson). In 1989 Obama interned at Sidley&Austen as an associate. (Sidley&Austin was also the law firm used by Tom Ayers, Bill’s father).
So, in 1995 Ayers hires Obama , supposedly unknown to him, 3 years out of law school, to Chair the $50 Million Annenberg Challenge, an education non-profit. The Challenge was an arm of Ayers Chicago School Reform Collaborative. The money was to be used by Ayers and co. to bolster the radical Local School Councils reform project that Ayers and Obama had championed back in 1988 through the ABCs.
The Annenberg Challenge was a failure. Obama stepped down as chair in 1999, but remained on the board. However, during the time with the Challenge, Ayers and Obama sat on panels together , attended speaking engagements, etc.
Obama and Ayers were also on the board of the Woods Fund. A few of the grants from the Woods Fund were provided to the Arab American Action Network(AAAN). The AAAN was headed by Rashid Khalidi . Khalidi previously worked for the PLO and hosted a fund raiser for Obama’s US Senate bid. They went out to dinner , with their wives, together and Michelle Obama attended a party some months ago in honor of the wedding of Khalidi’s daughter. The Bill Ayers’ were also in attendance.
Khalidi said he supports Obama for President “ because he is the only candidate who has expressed sympathy for the Palestinian cause.” Khalidi also lauded Obama for “saying he supports talks with Iran.”
Another tidbit:
Obama advisor promotes a reparations approach to education reform; Ayers endorses it
In 2006 Professor Gloria Ladson-Billings of the University of Wisconsin, the then president of the American Education Research Association (AERA), the nation’s leading School of Education professional association, proposed a new policy to tackle the problems of America’s public schools: the repayment of centuries of “education debt” that allegedly is owed to people of color as a result of slavery and discrimination. She rooted the concept in the literature supporting reparations for slavery.
In 2007 Linda Darling-Hammond, a prominent and respected professor at the Stanford University School of Education, endorsed the same idea in an article in The Nation. In late 2007 Darling-Hammond was named an education advisor to the Obama campaign. In February 2008 Darling-Hammond issued a blueprint for education reform by the next President that set as its #1 priority the repayment of the “education debt,” as proposed originally by Ladson-Billings.
Bill Ayers has endorsed the idea of repayment of the “education debt.” Ayers is now a Vice President-elect (Division B: Curriculum Studies) of the AERA.
A chapter called “Education for Democracy” by Darling-Hammond appeared in a volume co-edited by Ayers called A Light in Dark Times. A chapter co-authored by Ladson-Billings on “racing justice” appeared in a book co-edited by Ayers called Teaching for Social Justice: A Democracy and Education Reader. Ladson-Billings wrote the foreword to Ayers’ book, To Teach: The Journey of a Teacher. Ayers and Ladson-Billings are co-editors of City Kids, City Schools: More Reports from the Front Row just published.
Right now Ayers is laying low and so are the other controversial figures in his life. You may be an Obama troll, on here trying to disprove what we post. But you’re going to be busy trying to deflect the damaging truth about Obama coming from all angles. The Obama balloon is getting fuller by the day and will soon burst.

People start paying attention 30 days before the election. Telling the truth is not smearing. Lying is smearing. BO has done nothing but suck up to these sleaze bags, funnel them money, then take it back to advance his career. His career has been runn ing for office. What has he done?

You get my second vote for “Inspirational PUMA of the Day” — as an Independent PUMA who thought that Hillary was shat upon by the NObama thugs, I have been disappointed that the Clintons seem to have knuckled under to these lyin’ clowns.

Help Wanted :
I’ve read and got a few emails from Pumas (new and old) that sounded a little unsure about putting out flyers.
If you are a seasoned flyer person (you racist, cutie)please post and let us know how you do it. Or if you are a desk bound puma with ideas, please put it in point form and put a header ” flyer instructions” on your post. I or Prowland can compile and post it online.
Some people think they have to hand out flyers face to face. NOT necessarily at all. Please put your thinking caps on and help others feel confident about this task. Once you get out and do it, you will be surprised how good you will feel to do something difficult but necessary. And you get better at it all the time and you see all sorts of situations where you can leave flyers around. AND get your non PUMA friends to help out.
Could someone please point out to me where all the evidence is of Obama being better on the economy than McCain? Just wondering I have been looking for some time now and I have to report that there is nothing that I can find. How many companies has Obama run? Where is the legislation that he has put forward to stop our economic meltdown? Is the southside of Chicago not a hellhole? What did he do for the poor people in his district? Nothing that I can find…Not anywhere! Hmm..So I guess if neither candidates forte’ is the economy, I will take the patriot any day!
c4hill-I know I’ll get yelled at here-but I agree with you–McCain has taken a disturbing turn–first when he panicked last week-”suspending” his campaign–his fundamentals of the economy comments-etc etc–but what is the most disturbing is the Palin pick–talk about bad judement…
It is worth to note the following excerpt from Senator McCain’s book “Worth the Fighting For: A Memoir” (2002)….
“I didn’t decide to run for President to start a national crusade for the political reforms I believed in or to run a campaign as if it were some grand act of patriotism. In truth, I wanted to be President because it had become my ambition to be President. I was sixty-two years old when I made the decision and I thought it was my one shot at the prize.”
It is not Country First but McCain’s personal ambitions first.
He does not care about us, about US.
Has c4hill left us? What a shame. As we get closer and closer to the election we don’t need distractions.
could anyone tell me where bluebluegal went (i believe that was the name I am so bad with names). Anyways if anyone knows please tell me, i’m getting off for a bit somethings just rubbing me the wrong way .

I think Obama’s ties to a known Anti-American terrorist is a BIG DEAL.And his trying to convince us that he didn’t know about Ayers background is LUDICRIS. If you tie in Farrakhan,Wright,Odinga,Alinsky,Mansour,Qadaffi,
Hatem-El-Hady,and Rezco,and I know I’m forgetting some more,This shows us that this man has Ties to people withRadical Muslim,or Anti-American Ties.
Besides,I thought we were fighting terrorist,not collaborating with them.
89 slyt2 - SING !!!!!!!!!!!
c4hill—what is wrong with the American public knowing all about the person who might be elected to run this country? Not that I am calling you an O supporter; however, your input sound just like my daughter who is an O supporter, angry because the Ayers issue has poked it’s head out and against Sara Palin for some unknown reason. In my book it is called fair play, McCain had to deal with the ugly ad regarding his computer skills. Even Joe Biden was taken back by that ad. When Mc mentioned fundamentals are strong–he was speaking of the people that we are working–at that time it was 19/20 people were holding jobs and that production is good because of the people. He was not speaking of the investment/banking/mortgage crisis that have fallen apart because of regulations that were not put into place because of democratic opposition and thievery. On the economic side do you think adding the trillions of dollars O wants to use for govt programs to the current crisis will move our nation forward? It feels like a deeper hole to me. Opinions are welcomed; if you want to help out, you can be productive and provide data on the living conditions on Chicago’s Southside since you reside in Chicago.

I post flyers on cars . . . at train stations, bus parking lots, beaches in the summer, sporting events. Since I can have a quick temper and biting sarcasm, I try to avoid confrontations I learned quite early on that Obamabots can’t discuss without becomming beligerent. . . . so I avoid them whenever possible.
c4hill: You are definitely on the WRONG BLOG. I don’t think I am in any danger here for telling you that we can get along without your contributions which are simply a distraction from our business of defeating of Obama.

39 jenniforhillary I think our hearts, our minds and our pocketbooks were all in a wonderful place when we supported Hillary in the primaries. But the sad truth is that the woman simply took advantage of our longing to see a woman who could be everything we dreamed of.
The worst truth of all is that she sold us all out. We never mattered to her like she mattered to us. Hillary clinton should go down in the Herstory books as the Benedict Arnold of the 21st century. She sold us out and got us to tryy to help her pay HER debt. And her husband!!!OMG, when the truth finally comes out~~~the whole country will realize it wasn’t just Monica Lewinsky that got screwed.
I totally admire and respect you…for your dedicated commitment and for the feeling you give to PUMA. I’m glad Murphy said you would never be banned here. You add the fiery energy we need.
i for one would be thrilled if sarah “winked” at me!
Here’s more on Obama and his slumlord Rezko:
“April 23, 2007
BY TIM NOVAK Staff Reporter/tnovak@suntimes.com
For more than five weeks during the brutal winter of 1997, tenants shivered without heat in a government-subsidized apartment building on Chicago’s South Side.
It was just four years after the landlords — Antoin “Tony” Rezko and his partner Daniel Mahru — had rehabbed the 31-unit building in Englewood with a loan from Chicago taxpayers.
It was just four years after the landlords — Antoin “Tony” Rezko and his partner Daniel Mahru — had rehabbed the 31-unit building in Englewood with a loan from Chicago taxpayers.
Rezko and Mahru couldn’t find money to get the heat back on.
Rezmar kept getting city and state funding, even as earlier projects fell into disrepair and financial troubles.
Rezko and Mahru couldn’t find money to get the heat back on.
But their company, Rezmar Corp., did come up with $1,000 to give to the political campaign fund of Barack Obama, the newly elected state senator whose district included the unheated building.
Obama has been friends with Rezko for 17 years. Rezko has been a political patron to Obama and many others, helping to raise millions of dollars for them through his own contributions and by hosting fund-raisers in his home.
Obama, who has worked as a lawyer and a legislator to improve living conditions for the poor, took campaign donations from Rezko even as Rezko’s low-income housing empire was collapsing, leaving many African-American families in buildings riddled with problems — including squalid living conditions, vacant apartments, lack of heat, squatters and drug dealers.
The building in Englewood was one of 30 Rezmar rehabbed in a series of troubled deals largely financed by taxpayers. Every project ran into financial difficulty. More than half went into foreclosure, a Chicago Sun-Times investigation has found.
“Their buildings were falling apart,” said a former city official. “They just didn’t pay attention to the condition of these buildings.”
Eleven of Rezko’s buildings were in Obama’s state Senate district.
Obama, now a U.S. senator running for president, has come under fire over his friendship with Rezko, who was charged last fall with demanding kickbacks on state business deals under Gov. Blagojevich.
Much of the criticism has centered on two real estate deals involving Obama’s South Side mansion. In the first, Obama paid $300,000 less than the asking price for a doctor’s home, while Rezko’s wife paid the doctor full price for the vacant lot next door. Then — a few months before Rezko was indicted — Obama bought part of that lot from Rezko’s wife.
But Obama’s ties with Rezko go beyond those two real estate sales and the political support, the Sun-Times found. Obama was an attorney with a small Chicago law firm — Davis Miner Barnhill & Galland — that helped Rezmar get more than $43 million in government funding to rehab 15 of their 30 apartment buildings for the poor.
Obama role unclear
Just what legal work — and how much — Obama did on those deals is unknown. His campaign staff acknowledges he worked on some of them. But the Rezmar-related work amounted to just five hours over the six years it said Obama was affiliated with the law firm, the staff said in an e-mail in February.
Obama, however, was associated with the firm for more than nine years, his staff acknowledged Sunday in an e-mail response to questions submitted March 14 by the Sun-Times. They didn’t say what deals he worked on — or how much work he did.
“The senator, relatively inexperienced in this kind of work, was assigned to tasks appropriate for a junior lawyer,” according to an e-mail from Obama spokesman Robert Gibbs. “These tasks would have included reviewing documents, collecting corporate organizational documents, and drafting corporate resolutions.”
In fact, Gibbs wrote, “Senator Obama does not remember having conversations with Tony Rezko about properties that he owned or any specific issues related to those properties.”
Rezko and Mahru had no construction experience when they created Rezmar in 1989 to rehabilitate apartments for the poor under the Daley administration. Between 1989 and 1998, Rezmar made deals to rehab 30 buildings, a total of 1,025 apartments. The last 15 buildings involved Davis Miner Barnhill & Galland during Obama’s time with the firm.
Rezko and Mahru also managed the buildings, which were supposed to provide homes for poor people for 30 years. Every one of the projects ran into trouble:
•Seventeen buildings — many beset with code violations, including a lack of heat — ended up in foreclosure.
Six buildings are currently boarded up.
• Hundreds of the apartments are vacant, in need of major repairs.
• Taxpayers have been stuck with millions in unpaid loans.
• At least a dozen times, the city of Chicago sued Rezmar for failure to heat buildings.
For five weeks, the Sun-Times sought to interview Obama about Rezko and the housing deals. His staff wanted written questions. It responded Sunday but left many questions unanswered. Other answers didn’t directly address the question.
Among these: When did Obama learn of Rezmar’s financial problems? “The senator had no special knowledge of any financial problems,” Gibbs wrote.
Did the senator ever complain to anyone — government officials, Rezmar or Rezko — about the conditions of Rezmar’s buildings? “Senator Obama did follow up on constituency complaints about housing as [a] matter of routine,” Gibbs wrote.
Did the senator ever discuss Rezmar’s financial problems with anyone at his law firm? “The firm advises us that it [is] unaware of any such conversations,” Gibbs wrote.
Turns down Rezmar job
Obama’s friendship with Rezko began with a telephone call.
It was 17 years ago. Obama had just become the first black president of the Harvard Law Review. Newspapers wrote about him. One story caught the eye of David Brint, a vice president of Rezmar, a new company that had become the Daley administration’s favored developer of low-income housing.

You aren’t helping your argument by presenting childish and petty criticisms of people you don’t agree with.
Facts matter.
I would suggest that you open your ears to the difference between “Smooth Talk” and “Straight Talk” — you will be getting an education on the subject at tonight’s debate.
#86 freddiebrown….
I have about 75 small round stickers that say “McCain —Leadership” that I’m going to use to stick those flyers up everywhere. When you go through the drive thru @ the bank you can stick them under the tube chute or @ fast food stick them under the speaker when you’re ordering or stick them under the buttons on drive thru ATM’s. Until someone comes out to clean or do maintenance, they will be hanging there for everyone to read while they are waiting for service.
Also, they can be tri-folded and rolled up in toilet paper rolls in public restrooms….hey, it’s a public service. Some people need something to read there
They can be left with your tip when you eat out, left in dressing rooms at department stores.
Left on random shelves at grocery stores or pharmacies.
It’s soooooooo easy.
Does that mean I qualify as a racist cutie ?
If you visit Chicago, be sure to add Cabrini Green to your itinary of sights to see, along with others. I don’t know if it’s still standing, but it was on 9/11 when I was there. It is the ultimate monument to poverty, the worst slum you could ever imagine having to live in.
South Chicago is an abomination.

c4hill——are you even for Hillary? Good Bye… can’t believe you are even here…. this blog has been talking about Ayers and Obama for months… now the McCain campaign is talking about it because Sarah Palin actually reads the New York Times.. how about that?… strange that this “hockey mom”, Govenor of the state of Alaska and ex Mayor of a town in Alaska actually reads? Why do you find that astounding?
Yet another Obama Camp lie:
All of their Talking Heads are warning McCain that “going negative on The Precious will just hurt McCain.”
If that’s true, why aren’t they ENCOURAGING McCain to keep it up (since they are so sure that it will be to Obama’s advantage)?
Do these people tell the truth about ANYTHING?!?

I hope America wakes up soon. Obama has done NOTHING for Americans and for Black people. I am an African American in Chicago and he has done nothing for our city and for black people. We do not need a president who has several terrorist friends and an unstable wife. Barack and Michelle has not really improve the racial situation in our society but instead perpetuated it. Being in a black separatist church for 20 years does not signal unity. That is why I never went to that church. This man is also funded by soros and liberal billionaires who could care less about the middle class. I support Hillary and Bill because they actually have a record of helping black people and Americans as a whole. Bill Clinton has set up a foundation in Lousiana that helps build homes for hurricane katrina victims, including my cousin. We need to stop being manipulated by Obama and the media. He speaks of hope and change with no records of doing so, but Hillary has a long record of fighting for women, children, and the middle class.
c4hill,
It is ok to be mad, but reading your post tells me that something that you are not telling here triggered you to be very upset. You have been watching McCain/Palin and we knew the attacks were coming, that it how the Republican machine works, even Hillary said it, they are going to nail him at the end. We know who Obama is, everyone running for president should be expose on every single category, it is a fair game. Obama was the one that started the negative campaing back in June, and he wants to look like he is a nice guy, give a break Obama!
I notice that very frequently on National Obama Radio (used to be known as NPR) that the Annenberg Challenge is mentioned often as a sponsor. No wonder NOR has been pushing Obama all along even in the primaries. Annenberg Challenge = Ayres
Does any know how much money they gave them?
it is not of my business, but being pumas i would not waste time,energy, in answering c4hil or give the importance not deserved
Freddie
prplvette said she will send some suggestions later. Some ways to reach a lot of people without being noticed is to leave flyers laying around throughout WalMart, Target, Home Depot, Grocery Stores, libraries, etc.
My favorite from prplvette is that she tapes them on the inside doors of bathroom stalls everywhere she goes. Just think of that. That would be fantastic at any huge event like a festival or car show or whatever. I think those port-a-potties are nasty, but to go in just long enough to put a flyer up is ideal.
In my reply #77 to C4Hill I posted of relevant current events.
1. A few Michelle Obama attended a party given to celebrate Rashid Khalidi’s daughters wedding. Ayers and his wife were in attendance. Khalidi is President of the Arab Americal Action Network and former member of the PLO(Palestinian Liberation Org). Khalidi and his wife are very close friends with Obama and his wife.
2. Darling-Hammonds is Obama’s education advisor and in April 08 wrote a blueprint, for the “next” President, to give Reparations to African Americans and other people of color in the form of a huge Education Program. Bill Ayers endorsed it and has close ties to Obama’s Education Advisor.
Ayers believes “in your face activism” should be taught to children in schools. So that when they graduate, they become “In your face ACTIVISTS.”
Geez another first for me but here goes I so agree with Jennifor I am also pissed that I not only donated the max have tons of tee-shirts had my husband donated the max and made thousands of calls and it sure looks like she sold us out in more than one way.

1. A few (months ago) Michelle Obama…….
I find it interesting that people like C4 are now using the fact that Hillary and Bill are on Obama’s site campaigning for him to discredit Hillary and Bill. And she uses the fact that Kerry and Richardson aren’t to pretend that Kerry and Richardson are MORE loyal to Puma goals.
Just what I thought would happen. A double whammy against Bill and Hillary. USE them to support Obama and attract Hillary Democrats and then use their support to turn their supporters against them, effectively neutralizing and destroying them as players on the Democratic side. A real two for one knock-out punch against two Democrats who actually care about the American people and democracy…..
And if Hillary and Bill DIDN’T work for Obama, they’d be accused of being responsible for his defeat.
Kerry and Richardson don’t NEED to be on Obama’s site supporting him. No red-blooded PUMA or level-headed American is going to turn on their word. Just the opposite. Kerry and Richardson are irrelevant to attracting the vote Obama needs to win, i.e. the Hillary vote.
Which is why I wished with all my heart Bill and Hillary had stood up and fought Obama and the DNC. When you sleep with dirty dogs all you get are fleas. We needed someone in the Democratic Party to stand up and fight for what was right and no one did.

OBAMA’S “FORMER CHURCH” - he was there for over 20 years
THE BLACK VALUE SYSTEM
Trinity United Church of Christ adopted the Black Value System, written by the Manford Byrd Recognition Committee, chaired by the late Vallmer Jordan in 1981.
Dr. Manford Byrd, our brother in Christ, withstood the ravage of being denied his earned ascension to the number one position in the Chicago School System. His dedication to the pursuit of excellence, despite systematic denials, has inspired the congregation of Trinity United Church of Christ. Prayerfully, we have called upon the wisdom of all past generations of suffering Blacks for guidance in fashioning an instrument of Black self-determination, the Black Value System.
Beginning in 1982, an annual Black Value System - Educational Scholarship in the name of Dr. Byrd was instituted. The first recipient of the Dr. Manford Byrd Award, which is given annually to the man or woman who best exemplifies the Black Value System, was our brother, Dr. Manford Byrd.
These Black Ethics must be taught and exemplified in homes, churches, nurseries and schools, wherever Blacks are gathered. They consist of the following concepts:
Disavowal of the Pursuit of “Middleclassness.” Classic methodology on control of captives teaches that captors must be able to identify the “talented tenth” of those subjugated, especially those who show promise of providing the kind of leadership that might threaten the captor’s control.
Those so identified are separated from the rest of the people by:
Killing them off directly, and/or fostering a social system that encourages them to kill off one another.
Placing them in concentration camps, and/or structuring an economic environment that induces captive youth to fill the jails and prisons.
Seducing them into a socioeconomic class system which, while training them to earn more dollars, hypnotizes them into believing they are better than others and teaches them to think in terms of “we” and “they” instead of “us.”
So, while it is permissible to chase “middleclassness” with all our might, we must avoid the third separation method - the psychological entrapment of Black “middleclassness.” If we avoid this snare, we will also diminish our “voluntary” contributions to methods A and B. And more importantly, Black people no longer will be deprived of their birthright: the leadership, resourcefulness and example of their own talented persons.
Pledge to Make the Fruits of All Developing and Acquired Skills Available to the Black Community.
Pledge to Allocate Regularly, a Portion of Personal Resources for Strengthening and Supporting Black Institutions.
Pledge Allegiance to All Black Leadership Who Espouse and Embrace the Black Value System.
Personal Commitment to Embracement of the Black Value System. To measure the worth and validity of all activity in terms of positive contributions to the general welfare of the Black Community and the Advancement of Black People towards freedom.

A March 2007 New Republic article has surfaced in which the piece’s writer, Ryan Lizza, asserts that Jeremiah Wright was once a Muslim:
But Wright was a former Muslim and black nationalist who had studied at Howard and Chicago, and Trinity’s guiding principles–what the church calls the “Black Value System”–included a “Disavowal of the Pursuit of Middleclassness.’
http://www.commentarymagazine.com/blogs/index.php/greenwald/3266
Aside from Obama’s tendency to speak of the middle class as bitter peasants, what can we learn from Barack’s spiritual adviser and political kingmaker of 20 years–the Rev. Jeremiah Wright? Bill Kristol brings it up:
The McCain campaign might consider responding by calling attention to Chapter 14 of Obama’s eloquent memoir, “Dreams From My Father.” There Obama quotes from the brochure of Reverend Wright’s church — a passage entitled “A Disavowal of the Pursuit of Middleclassness.”

Just asking.

re: Bill Ayers - (from Powerline)
The mainstream media are of course collaborating with Barack Obama in his efforts to downplay his relationship with Bill Ayers, to cooperate with Obama in his efforts to dissociate himself from Ayers and to portray Ayers as a former radical turned respectable. Thus Tom Brokaw referred to Ayers this past Sunday on Meet the Press as an educational reformer.
Sol Stern will have none of it. In “The bomber as school reformer,” Stern writes:
Calling Bill Ayers a school reformer is a bit like calling Joseph Stalin an agricultural reformer. (If you find the metaphor strained, consider that Walter Duranty, the infamous New York Times reporter covering the Soviet Union in the 1930s, did, in fact, depict Stalin as a great land reformer who created happy, productive collective farms.) For instance, at a November 2006 education forum in Caracas, Venezuela, with President Hugo Chávez at his side, Ayers proclaimed his support for “the profound educational reforms under way here in Venezuela under the leadership of President Chávez. We share the belief that education is the motor-force of revolution. . . . I look forward to seeing how you continue to overcome the failings of capitalist education as you seek to create something truly new and deeply humane.” Ayers concluded his speech by declaring that “Venezuela is poised to offer the world a new model of education—a humanizing and revolutionary model whose twin missions are enlightenment and liberation,” and then, as in days of old, raised his fist and chanted: “Viva Presidente Chávez! Viva la Revolucion Bolivariana! Hasta la Victoria Siempre!”
Stern reminds us that Ayers was a revolutionary driven by hatred of the United States when he was planting bombs in the 1970’s and he is a revolutionary driven by hatred of the United States now. The intervening years include the period of his alliance with his young Chicago friend Barack Obama. Stern drily observes: “For the first time in his life, Ayers seems to be observing Democratic Party discipline and won’t be talking until after November 4.”
Regarding the Flyers, I will go to each front porch and leave the flyer on a PO BOX or the mail vent near the door. I would probably put some flyers in high public areas were many people could see it.

Don’t cha just love it when some nitwit starts talking about Palin’s sexuality? I do.
My daughter (who is 10) was angry this morning. On the drive to school she told me she was tired of Obama commercials and songs on Nickelodeon. Good grief!
The infiltration of minds of all ages was well planned and planned well in advance. At least my daughter knows what they are doing.
Dances:
I just sent an e-mail to fred08 requesting the posters.
But here in Texas may not be as necessary as other battle states. Would it be better to save them for someone else?
Regarding c4hill, I know some people who have switched to Obama i n the last few weeks. Things change,people change. I also know liberals who are actually questioning BHO for the first time and switching. It is like musical chairs this time f year in an election cycle. It is okay, we are still a free country. We are democrats, not republucans. I frankly do no care what McCain does at this point, the POINT is NOBAMA>
Murphy, You posted the following from yesterday:
So Murphy,
Why is it all you hard core PUMAs don’t have the courage to identify yourselves? Personally I just want to know the names of all you lightweights so we can show the appropriate scorn for you morons.
Would it be that you don’t want to be identified with such a disastrous political campaign?
Or that you quite possibly have contradicted every reason you supported HRC? (UNLESS OF COURSE YOU ARE A REPUBLICAN PLANT?)
Feeling good about McCain’s chances now?
Feeling good about your candidate calling his wife a c&@t?
Feeling good that Palin will set women back a few decades politically?
Stupidity has its consequences and you folks are pretty fucking stupid.
Here’s half the peace sign for ya! You betcha!

I looked up this Michael Deane and found that he produces commercials for Direct TV…since we have been customers of theirs for almost ll years, I called their PR department.
I read the letter sent to Murphy to their director.
He was not happy. He called Deane “a vicious, ugly sort of guy” and “this guy is not someone we want to represent our company”.
He is going to their Advertising Department to notify them of Deane’s actions.
I told him about PUMA. He applauded us and said we have every right to have our opinions without being attacked like this and Deane is “spewing all this venom in a public domain”.
Deane called us “lightweights”…no PUMA’s are heavyweights and we just knocked him out!
Good Morning PUMAs - I have been quiet for a while, just listening in. Today I want to speak. Sarah Palin Rocks!!! McCain is right on in hitting Barry in the shorts. NOBAMA!!!
I keep sending McCain headquarters and conservative talk show hosts info @ Obama and his nefarious connections. Hope I’m doing some good. Noticed that Laura Ingraham mentioned some of my talking points on her show. Could be coincidence but I hope I had an effect.
showing this tape would be good,but i wonder if it could be a game changer??..i dont know..
“I learned over the weekend why the Republicans who have seen the tape of Michelle Obama ranting about “whitey” describe it as “STUNNING.” I have not seen it but I have heard from five separate sources who have spoken directly with people who have seen the tape. It features Michelle Obama and Louis Farrakhan. They are sitting on a panel at Jeremiah Wright’s Church when Michelle makes her intemperate remarks.”
also, I still love the Clintons. He is an ex-democratic President. If BHO loses and they helped in anyway, it is over for Hillary. Bill drops his bombs here and there. The pressure on her is huge. For gods sake, they are pinning this on her, if he loses, it will be her fault. I for one am still a believer, am I now drin king Clinton kool-aid?

Demeaning Palin again

Please tell me that this is true. So many rumors flying around out there.
#134 Bellecat What I’m annoyed at is why is the judge taking so long to rule on the M/Dismiss? I hope he’s not in the tank for Obama. Everything seems to be going his way. We need another outbreak overseas so McCains’ security credentials come into play.
Obama actually has no economic experience, votes just go with the Dems on that. Obama has no experience, period.
Flasunshiner
Great work. We have to keep up the pressure. Obama’s rat patrol aren’t quite so brave when they’re outed in public. I don’t have a problem with giving my name, just don’t want to be confronbted by those raving idiots.
Then I have to get my gun and bible.
**repost –HMMM - WOULDN’T IT BE NICE!****
Whitey tape emerges again, go to democrats against obama site and scroll down to 2nd topic. Still a rumor - no proof yet but they say the Mac Camp is going to pull it out 2 weeks before the election so that BO has little or no time to recovery.
MAN I hope this is true!!!!!!!

If the Ayers thing is nonsense, then I guess putting bombs in people’s homes is okay? I guess Americans deserved 9/11? I guess it is okay to be a cocaine junkie, to diss the American flag, to give money to school children to learn to be radicals, to teach your children to sing songs idolizing Precious? I guess if Nobama wins we all will have to wear fatigues to work and sing Heil Obama every morning?
#141 Flasunshiner
GOOD JOB !! He’ll be so busy sitting in a corner nursing his black eyes he may forget to vote
#145 hillary2008
What you said is so true and so sad. They really pinned the Clintons between a rock and a hard place. It breaks my heart. I just wish there would have been or possibly still is some way they can wiggle themselves out of their torturous dilemma.
I love PUMAs…
McCain has to start emphasizing the role that Democrats played in this economic disaster.
They’re trying to put all the blame on the Repubs
just because the Bush retard is President.
But the President dcoesn’t control oversight, that’s a function of Congress.
