People United Means Action

Thank you Toby Keith — another lifelong Democrat who is a Puma, even if he doesn’t know it. (gotta admit I never heard him sing before. nice voice, great smile.) 

I Love This Blog! Sing it with me Pumas!

How Hillary REALLY feels.

Thanks to pk in email.

and this is for jenniforhillary, PUMA JENNIFER…the meanest lil’ puma that ever was 

From an email I received last night:

Hi Murphy,

I’ve been a lurker the past month or so. I am not a member and not as brave as your members to even sign on. I just wanted to comment on a post tonight. The writer was wondering if others are getting scared of BO in the WH. I can tell, you everyone I know, friends and coworkers are very scared now that the mask has slipped and they were informed to go looking on the internet. I’ve lurked and read many blogs, most posters there are getting scared as well. You may not know it but people are indeed flipping left and right from Obama-those that are not complete Koolaid drinkers. Fear of this man, his violent and dangerous radical ties that continue to mount, trump any and everything else.

I’m in a blue state and have turned 5 coworkers to vote for McCain so far. None of them knew any of this stuff becasue it was not in the MSM. I feel for this guy Joe-being villified but it is a huge eye opener to people – both the conversation with BO and them ripping him apart for daring to disagree with him. The ACORN thing is a huge eye opener too. It has finally made a lot of on the fencers question everything BO has lied about and they go looking on the net. Nobama thinks we that have internet access are stupid enough not to go looking. It is those that don’t have it and get their only info. From the MSM don’t know the “real” Nobama. I just wanted to let you and your posters know they are far from alone. Many, many people lurk here and more with each passing day. You ladies(and gentlemen) are making a huge difference. Kudo’s to you all and keep it up!!!!!!  Us lurkers may not be as brave or vocal as you but we are fighting the fight-informing the uniformed and changing votes to McCain whenever and wherever we can-in our own small way.

Folks, enough. Enough name calling and back biting. Enough bitterness and hopelessness. Most of all, enough PANIC!!! We are all still here, together, fighting for the same outcome. We’ll be together on November 4th, and we’ll be here together on November 5th. No matter what.

Want to get busy?

1. Go with the inimitable Harriet Christian to Pennsylvania tomorrow and Sunday. Bus leaves Penn Station in NYC at 9am. ALL are welcome. The weather will be fine and the company even finer. More info at hchristian@infnyc.com
2. Join Real Democrats on their tour of Ohio — reaching out to voters to spread the TRUTH about Obama and his Movement. Details HERE.
3. Ask Freddie Brown to send you 100 flyers to distribute all over town. Send an email with your name and address to fred08puma@gmail.com
4. Freddie’s reached the end of the rope trying to foot this bill — over 60,000 flyers printed and mailed already. If you can help, please send a few bucks and we’ll pay for whatever shipping/printing costs we can raise to help Freddie. Help HERE if you can, and thank you.
5. Download and print some flyers or cards from our Dances ACTION CENTER. We have business cards, spanish language flyers, fact sheets, and fake Puma cash to inspire and assist your Prowling.
6. Follow gogandalf and frodo’s wonderful suggestion to blog Puma comments on local online newspapers. Post links to this site and all good NObama sites you know. Spread the facts about Obama far and wide. Simply go to the media section of our ACTION CENTER, click on a local newspaper in a swing state, sign up to comment, and then blog away on any pertinent articles. Frodo, gogandalf, goalucard, utahpuma, and MANY of our longtime Puma PAC activists have told us that this REALLY works. Especially in the swing states.

Bottom line: there is absolutely NO REASON for discouragement or despair. We are here, working together, and we’re not going anywhere (well, some of us will be going to Ohio, Florida, Nevada, and Pennsylvania this weekend, but they’re still “here” when they’re “there”).

So Puma Up folks — turn those frowns upside down and dig in. It’s going to be a LONG 18 days until November 4th — but it will also be wonderful, because we’ll always have each other to rely on: for help and inspiration every single day.

Losing my mind I seize weapons; not that there is any reason in weapons, but yet to gather a battalion for war and to make a run at the citadel with comrades sets my soul on fire. Madness and rage overthrow my mind, and it occurs to me that it is splendid to die in armor.

 – Virgil, The Aeneid, Book 2, 348-352.

Hillbuzz makes the point I’ve been pushing for months — the DONC hates its base. They hate us. Don’t want to be seen with us; disdain our manners and our mores; distance themselves from our habits and our biases. When we got back from Denver and learned that McCain had pulled an upset by picking Sarah Palin as VP we offered the DONC for sale on EBay (remember bmw60′s priceless comments?) and got 1,500 inquiries in 24 hours. As I said then, 

Oh, and the DONC still gets the willies when it gets in close contact with actual representatives of THE WORKING CLASS! EWWWW! I see poor people. YUCK! Why can’t they just go to the dentist for crying out loud? We don’t really have to associate with those freaks do we? (Great way to appeal to voters, Guys).

Yup, that’s them — our fearless leaders. Trashing and degrading every person who looks like us, thinks like us, or is disadvantaged in any way (not including being black — for obvious reasons, the DONC could NOT afford to throw black people under the bus this time (but if you’re black, don’t get comfy; Howard, Barack, and ACORN do NOT like you. They never intended to help you, and they never will. ACORN is a scam, just like obama and his upper middle-class (pretty much all-white male) backers, and they’ve perpetrated their fraud on you, at your expense.)).

Dare to disagree with or oppose The One? Be prepared for an onslaught unmitigated by decency, inclusive principles, or restraint of any kind. We’ve catalogued the insults and degradation many times here on this blog: the comments that cursed our loved ones to die in botched back-alley abortions, the threats of righteous violence if obama loses, the by-now toothless accusations of racism (yet they still sting). We’ve been called witches, bitches, and cunts — frequently and publicly. We watched how they portrayed Hillary, and we documented their pornographic degradation of Sarah Palin. (“my black brothers will gang rape Sarah Palin,” “fucking whore,” “dominatrix,” “pom-pom girl,” “sex slave,” and of course “cunt” over and over again).

And now they savage S. Joseph Wurzelbacher, aka Joe the Plumber. Even Joe Biden is doing it. We’re told he’s stupid, ugly, racist, poor, dumb, a fraud, and a liar. He’s a guy so he probably won’t be gang-raped or figuratively f**cked by teh Boiz. He probably won’t be photo-shopped with a ball gag in his mouth being whipped by Markos in drag. That probably will never happen. Maybe Maureen Dowd will devote a column to how she’d never have sex with someone so poor. But probably the most humiliating thing he’ll have to live down is Diane Sawyer reminding him and millions of us that Joe the Plumber will probably NEVER make enough money to qualify for obama’s tax increases. 

What a strange, strange beast the Democratic Party has become.

No one believed us when we claimed that Obama stole the caucuses with fraud and intimidation. And like Cassandra, we now watch as Obama’s Trojan horse unleashes ACORN to burn Ohio, Michigan, and Pennsylvania down. 

DEMOCRATS. Democrats did this.

And they continue to do it every day. 

This is the new DNC, and it’s why we call them the DONC. They don’t represent us, our values, or our experiences. In fact, they represent everything we always thought we hated about Republicans. As Pumas, our eyes were opened back in February. We’ve known for a LONG time what the rest of the country is just learning — that the Democratic Party has been hijacked by a shrieking band of character assassins and thugs. 

ACORN and obama thought they could get away with trashing our voters and our democratic processes in order to win. They succeeded in starting a fire, that’s for sure. But it’s not the one they meant to start.

As the evidence of massive fraud and ugly tactics mounts in every swing state in the last 3 weeks of this horrible election, the DONC will soon learn that most people hate arsonists. That instead of destroying their victims, obama and the DONC have ignited us to unite and fight. Not on their terms however, and not with their tools. We are fighting fire with water — the powerful and quiet undercurrent of decency, good will and courage which connects all average citizens and revitalizes our sense of community and shared purpose.

Our silent revolution will be quick and devastatingly effective. It will take place on Tuesday, November 4th, 2008 beginning at 7am and ending at 9pm eastern. The only weapon we will use is a ballot, and there will be no casualties. We’re Pumas. We work quietly and without fuss or fanfare.  

And once the Obama Movement’s incendiary assault on our voters has been permanently doused on that day, and he and his minions have been swept back to Chicago for good, we’ll begin the hard work of rebuilding our party and the reputation the BOIZ so recklessly tried to destroy.

It will be a long, difficult job. But there is no way in HELL that I’ll give up.

Every time I see a picture or description from DEMOCRATS of Sarah or Hillary in pornographic degradation I think of my daughters and a repulsive image of their heads photoshopped into a porn picture pops into mine. This is what will happen to them if you don’t fight, the voice in my head tells me. 

And so, I’ll fight. Alongside every one of us who believes we have more in common with Joe the Plumber than Joe the Senator. More in common with the mother of a child with Down’s Syndrome than the father of the Daily Kos hate machine. And more in common with a brave, young Wellesley College graduate who dared to dream she could be president than with a cowardly, young Harvard graduate who dared to believe he might be the Messiah.

From the Detroit Free Press, reporting on new allegations of ACORN fraud in Michigan:

“He didn’t mention reports that his campaign had given $800,000 to Citizens Services Inc. — an ACORN subsidiary — this year. His campaign said today that the money was paid as part of a get-out-the-vote effort — not voter registration — during the primary season. ACORN’s political action committee has endorsed Obama.”

$800 THOUSAND DOLLARS for get out the vote efforts during the primary season?? Hmmm . . . maybe that’s what paid for all those buses into Iowa during the caucus, all the lawyers and agitators in Texas during the caucus. More than three quarters of a million dollars for gaming the caucuses and fraud? It would be irresponsible NOT to speculate.

More HERE.

And then consult this!

When I make a decision about my body, my life, or my health don’t tell me whom I should be consulting. And if it was OH SO IMPORTANT that we all fall in line behind you because ONLY YOU could save us from the back alleys and the clothes hangers (yes, they did go there) then why the hell are you NOT pledging to keep Roe v Wade safe?

Inspired yet?

Twenty days left in this nightmare campaign, Folks. Between today and November 4th things are apt to get heated and tense. We’ve all had enough. Enough of the pandering, the lying, the insults, the denial of reality, the indifference of the media and our leaders, the Palin porn, the sexist onslaught, and enough of Barack Obama. Why isn’t he back in Chicago already, where he belongs? I believe the country is well and truly sick of him.

Obama is an empty suit in love with the sound of his own voice and the shape of his own naive ideas. As Riverdaughter said this morning, Obama has permanently sidelined Hillary Clinton’s political career. She will likely not seek national office again, and the ONLY reason is that he willfully and viciously kneecapped her during the primaries. McCain did the right thing last night in confronting Obama about the sexist and racist attacks on him, Sarah Palin, and even Hillary Clinton. I won’t hold my breath waiting to see if the MSM addresses the issue, but it was a good and honorable thing for McCain to do. Obama, of course, sputtered and muttered a response that made him look more guilty and smug than ever.

McCain is wrong on health care, but who cares? The treasury is empty — the country is broke and feels broken. There will be no will and no wherewithal to adequately address the health care mess this time around. And Obama is wrong about everything. Because he’s a liar and a panderer. His platform looks pretty good on paper, but that’s all it is — paper. His tax cuts are actually tax credits, an important difference, but he assumes we’re all idiots and won’t know the difference. He has NO plan for education reform (maybe he’ll hire Bill Ayers to run the public schools even deeper into the ground). And his foreign policy is an incoherent shambles of nice ideas and lofty ideals. Spare me.

The Obama Movement is in love with its own image of itself — as youthful, hopeful, shiny, and new. They remind me of the young Bernie and Bill — privileged, pampered, petulant babies, over-educated and underinformed.

Meet the new brats. Same as the old brats.

Meanwhile, like Jo up there (the 21st Century reincarnation of Rosie), it’s our job to do the WORK now, just like always. We have 20 days to do everything we can to keep the King of the Brats out of the White House.

We can do it!

Here are some ways:

1. Order flyers from Freddie Brown. This latest batch of 20,000 will mean over SIXTY THOUSAND Puma flyers will have been distributed all across the country — in restaurants, malls, Home Depots and parking lots. That’s a lotta flyers! Just send your name and address to fred08puma@gmail.com and you’ll receive 100 full-color flyers in your mailbox in a matter of days!

2. Call Jennifer Brunner and tell her to STOP ACTING LIKE KATHERINE HARRIS! We’re Democrats damnit — we believe in FAIR elections. Call today and demand that she abandon her appeal to NOT VERIFY the new voter registrations. What on earth is she thinking?Contact info: email; questions@jenniferbrunner.com

We love ya.

I know Joe.I’ve worked with him and hired him for my plumbing needs. The Romans invented plumbing. Aside from the obvious grossness of the milieu, plumbing is SO COOL. There’s physics and chemistry and GRAVITY and everything. My secret wish (aside from being a member of the French Resistance) has always been to be a plumber because water seeking its own level is so tautological.

A couple a guys are having a debate tonight I heard. We’ll be drinking.

According to John Murtha today in an interview with the Pittsburgh Post Gazette. Who’s John Murtha, you may ask? Oh, he’s just the guy who’s been representing western Pennsylvania as a congressman for the PAST 17 TERMS! (h/t to hillbuzz)

Oh, and the stock market dropped another 763 points today.

Pre-Debate Talking Points

• Barack Obama won because he did not accidentally refer to himself as a socialist.
• Has anyone noticed how OLD and UNSTEADY McCain looks these days?
• Sarah Palin is as dumb as a rock. Which is just fine, since I’d do her.
• Barack Obama won because um, um, well look, isn’t George Bush an idiot?
• This debate was not a game-changer, because obviously Obama won, and he will win on November 4th. So for Barack Obama, it was simply one more hurdle for him to successfully bound (with those long, graceful legs — sigh.) Where was I? Oh yes, the debate was not a game changer, except it was for Barack because he is now 3 and 0 — a perfect winning record in the presidential debates.
