For Anna, wontbackdown, mountainsong, and dwp. 

And all of us.

Not with guns, or hate, or violence of any kind. But with our voices, our presence, our courage in standing up for each other, our unity

AND OUR VOTES.

DISPATCH from longtime Puma PAC activist Bythelake in Strongsville OH, 10/9/08: Good Morning PUMAS! I would have posted last night but as luck would have it the internet was down.

Here’s the scoop….

I WAS A HIT WITH MY “DEMOCRAT FOR MCCAIN/PALIN” sign!

I was interviewed in line, had my picture taken by news-stations, interviewed on radio stations, and, get this, one of the workers for the McCain rally pulled me from the line of thousands of people and escorted me to the front of the line! He said, I want your sign on TV!

The rally was AWESOME! Sarah Palin caught my eye when she came on stage. She waved and thumbs-upped me!

I’m a PUMA star!

First thing when I got in line yesterday a lady came up to me and asked if I would travel with a group of women in Columbus Ohio over a couple of weekends and help them campaign. I gave her my card and told her to call me.

No matter who you are voting for, I would certainly recommend going to a John McCain rally!

Another thing, a van with a trailer pulled in the parking lot and it had two dummies hugging each other, it said, “More of the Same.” I saw them being filmed on TV and I took my sign and went over and stood behind them! The crowd was cheering me on! I had a blast! I’m not afraid to show my support as a democrat for McCain!

I know it gets discouraging sometimes to be a Puma. We’re not Republicans, and most of us don’t really feel like Democrats anymore either. I call myself a Pumacrat now. But then Bythelake goes and lifts all our spirits and reminds us that there are MILLIONS of us out here — all across the country — and we ARE going to change the outcome of this election.

Sometimes I think the MSM is purposely keeping the lid on this thing because they’re afraid of reporting the real truth — that Obama is likely to lose in a LANDSLIDE. They have to keep smiling along, pretending this election is just another horse race. Perhaps that’s the reason for the polls that over-sample Democrats, and the straight-faced absurdity of their reports on Obama’s commanding performance in the debates.

Anyway, McCain’s camp is continuing the attacks. There is a deliberate, DEVELOPING narrative that the Republicans are trying to establish here, Folks. First, the negative ads against Obama insisted that That One is UNREADY. Now, ratcheting it up, they call The Precious TOO RISKY. I was wondering when they would do this. My prediction is the next ads will call him UNFIT & DANGEROUS.

Ever notice how every ad targeted towards men uses the words Performance, Power, and Precision? (It’s true! Look for those words in the ads for cars, razors, housepaint, viagra, beer, EVERYTHING!) Well, obviously, that’s on PURPOSE. And so it is with these attacks on Obama. The ideas the ads want to convey about The Selected are:

UNREADY, UNFIT, UNAMERICAN, and DANGEROUS

I think this one is pretty effective at driving that point home.

The story of the Mahadevi, often called Durga.

In comments, be the creator — describe your perfect President (since we obviously won’t be getting one this year who is even CLOSE to perfect).

What would they look like, sound like? what would their life story be?

How far do you think our country is from electing a GREAT president? Why? 

What can WE do to bring our country closer to the time when we can elect a GREAT president?
