Today was the first day of our 3-Day Puma Prairie Fire. If there’s still day left in your day, KEEP AT IT! Read more about what we are doing HERE.
If your Puma PAC workday is done, pull up a blanket and join us around the camp fire tonight. The peace pipe is making its way to you.
Share stories from your adventures on the web — where did you blog and what happened? If you made calls or canvassed today tell us how it went.
Tomorrow morning (don’t forget to turn the clocks back!) begins a stretch that won’t end until Tuesday at midnight (or later). Take a breather. Share a joke or a memory of this campaign. Something uplifting, inspiring, or funny. Something to keep the coyotes at bay.
The anticipation is mounting. We can feel a change in the air and a shift in the wind. The Pumas are getting restless.
Tomorrow is another day of course, but it is also a very special day. The day before the day before November 4th. Until then, peace.
“And when your childrens’ children think themselves alone… they will not be alone…At night when the streets of your cities and villages are silent and you think them deserted, they will throng with the returning hosts that once filled and still love this beautiful land.

REPOST from downstairs near end of thread:
For everyone with slow computers:
Don’t forget to run DISK CLEANUP and DEFRAGMENT if you are using a PC.
They are in the START menu, PROGRAMS under ACESSORIES, SYSTEM TOOLS. You need to do this at least once a week, more often if you are constantly on line. Do the disk cleanup first, then defrag any hard drives you use on-line.

CENTENNIAL, CO — The McCain-Palin presidential campaign today announced that 83 women McCain supporters will call attention to Barack Obama’s equal pay hypocrisy by each delivering 83 “Equal Pay Pennies” to Barack Obama headquarters in Denver at 12:00 p.m. MDT today — underscoring the fact that women in Obama’s Senate office earn just 83 cents for every dollar earned by men. While Obama claims he supports equal pay for women, women working in his Senate office earn an average of $9,000 less than men, while women in John McCain’s Senate office earn an average of nearly $2,000 more than men

Hello PUMAs!! Been very busy today making phone calls!!

antifish 11.01.08 at 6:49 pm
Yes, that one, catsarepumas. Do you think it has any validity?
Anna7000 11.01.08 at 6:51 pm
I have no encouraging stories to tell:
Canvassing over these past few weeks, I’ve seen a trend of increasing yard signs and bumper stickers for Obama.
Making calls for McCain, I get a lot of wrong numbers and machines. When I do get people on the line, I see no strong trend in his direction.
I post at conservative sites urging everyone to take action -that it is not enough simply to vote. I don’t see anyone responding to the posts, though that doesn’t mean there’s no one that decides to take action because of the reminder to do so.
Still don’t understand the rationale that PUMAs are the silent majority who are going to swing this election. In my view, if there are lots of us out there, our chances of being polled are as good as anyone else, relative to our numbers. I know I’ve been polled 3 times in the past 2 weeks. So, our NObama responses should be reflected in the polls and the polls suck big time.
Sent one more e-mail to likely now former friends and people I know. No one has e-mailed back with a thumbs up against Obama.
I’m demoralized by continued to work and will not stop until Election Day, and will not stop after then, either.

REPOSTING (I don’t know about anyone else, but it’s a lot harder for me when calling for McCain than when I did for Hillary, so I created some talking points to use in case I got engaged in a conversation. Sharing it for those coming onto the blog who may want to use it.)
————————————————————–
TALKING POINTS FOR MC CAIN CALLS
After your introductory couple of sentences, if it seems like the interaction will be a bit more involved, try to listen to what the person is saying. People like to feel that they are being heard. Also, the more you listen, the more you can see where they’re at and address their issues, concerns and even address their personality style in a way you feel would make them most able to hear you.
NATIONAL SECURITY
National security is central to everything. Without being safe, everything else is moot. JM is the only candidate we can trust who has the experience to make sound, informed decisions when it comes to our national security.
National security is the best health care plan!
McCain has served in the Senate and understands international politics in depth. Obama, on the other hand, made a fly-by-night tour of Europe this summer in order to try to boost his international credentials. You can’t cram for this!
Obama has stated he would sit down with the leaders of enemy nations without precondition. In these dangerous times, we cannot afford to have an inexperienced person with naïve views of the ways of the world in the Oval Office.
ECONOMY
Wants to keep taxes low so Americans can keep more of the money we work so hard for.
He has a plan to buy up bad debts to help homeowners maintain the value of their homes all across America as increased foreclosures leads to the devaluation of all homes in the community.
Will assess every single government program to make sure it is functioning and doing its job well. This will reduce government spending tax dollars on programs that don’t work.
BTW, re: Obama’s tax plan: when you tax small and mod sized businesses as he plans to, the pressure on them to be able to make a profit and keep their employees becomes so great that 1) they often have to lay people off which is NOT good for the economy, and 2) they increase the cost of their goods in order to meet the tax burden and that increased cost gets passed along to the consumer.
BTW, Obama is trying to the move the country’s social and economic policy to be more like that of Europe, which we now see, has failed miserably.
WAR
Does not like war, but understands that America faces grave international threats.
Wants to make sure we don’t pull out without a plan to ensure that the region remains stable.
There are many countries around the world where the US has a military presence. If this is the case in Iraq for a period of time, it will not be unique.
BTW, BO’s plan does not include a complete withdrawal, but instead, leaves about 50% of our troops in place: a half a war.
BTW, Bill Clinton deployed our troops an enormous number of times during his administration. No one likes or wants war. But the world is complex and dangerous and threats must be addressed accordingly.
HEALTHCARE
Will give Americans an annual $5,000 tax credit to use toward purchasing the health plan of their choice.
Will not force Americans to purchase a plan they don’t want and will not penalize people who want to have choices.
Plan will be good for American families and small business owners. It will not put undo pressure on small business owners, pressure that could force them to lay people off or go out of business.
SOCIAL SECURITY
Will make sure SS remains sound and solid, ensuring that our elderly population and those who are aging will be secure.
EDUCATION
Is in favor of school vouches. Believes parents should have the option of sending their child to a good school and not be forced to keep their child in a school that underperforms.
BTW, BO is against vouchers, yet sends his own children to private school. Hypocritical.
EXPERIENCE
Has dedicated his life to serving his country, first as a soldier then as a Senator.
Obama’s never held a single job for 4 consecutive years and has only 143 days of experience…..
GETTING THINGS ACCOMPLISEHD IN DC
McCain has a track record of bipartisan work to move legislations forward. Obama has no such record.
AGE CONCERNS
Is perfectly health. Has released his health records. Has a healthily mother who is in her 90’s. The family’s got great genes!
Anything can happen to anyone at any time. Obama has not released his health records. JFK had Addison’s disease.
SARAH PALIN
Has more experience than Obama.
Is the only person among all four major party candidates (Pres and VP) with Executive experience.
Has been maligned by the media much as Clinton was; has been the target of bias simply because she is a woman.
PLATFORM / PARTY SYMPATHIES
For those who are not really sympathetic to Republican platform: There are times when things get down to the basics. In this election, we haven’t the luxury of wanting to have it all. The opponent is too risky and we must all choose the candidate with the experience to lead and who we can trust.
Given the budget deficient and the recent economic collapse, even for those who agree with much of what Obama is promising, there’s no way he will be able to deliver because there is no money there for it.
OBAMA NEGATIVES
Lack of experience.
Associations with hate mongers, convicted felons, and former terrorists.
History of aligning himself with those who express anti-American sentiments, as he has also done, for ex, while overseas. What presidential candidate goes overseas and then speaks ill of their own country.
Willingness to sit down with leaders of enemy nations without preconditions.
Lies and flip flops (public campaign funds, FISA + minimizes relationships with those who are highly questionable characters.
Has not released records….
Talks of transparency yet hides his records.
Talks of equal pay for equal work, yet pays his female staffers 78 cents on the dollar as compared to his male staffers.
Is all talk. No achievement. Bad associations.
MISC
Bill Clinton’s candidate X and candidate Y analogy.

No thanks, catsarepumas. I’ve read several articles about her and they all seem to be saying the same thing. It seems like conjecture at the moment, not much there to substantiate the assertion though it does sound plausible.
Ex-DemInVA 11.01.08 at 7:00 pm
I forgot to mention in my earlier post about the rally this morning in Virginia is that McCain mentioned that Obama said in the Informercial that should he lose the election, he would come back and try again in four years. I find that VERY telling. During the primaries, Obama NEVER said as much that he was going to lose. He went around all cocky because he knew that he had it in the bag with the DNC handing it to him. It was Hillary who would say that she would work hard for the winning candidate. Obama said that vaguely one time early on and never said it again. I find it very interesting that he said it the other night.
Another thing fromt the rally is that there were a LOT of young people at the rally. There were more than I expected to see. It was great news. They were cheering loudly too. Not all the youth have drunk the kool aid.

Anna7000
Anna, I don’t know where you are working but I just got confirmation of two more converts today. A couple I know and have been talking to for weeks have decided to vote MCCain. They were Obie voters. A young man in college who WAS supporting “O” told me today “It seems like he is promising everything to everybody” This young man. Roberto, just got back from a two week ambassador tour for his asb .
I told him about ACORN (he had heard nothing bout then) and the connection between “O” and Fanni mae-freddie mac. O also mentioned the lowering of his tax threshold. Btw, he didn’t bother to watch the infomercial.
He hasn’t decided McCAIN yet but, two weeks ago he was firmly in Obies corner.
I’d say a good days work all around.

I don’t worry about Obama ever running for president again. We know who he is and, whether he wins or loses, the rest of the nation will know soon. All those who have been holding back will flood the news with their stories either way. He’ll be lucky to win reelection to the Senate by the time the beans are all spilled on him.

I’ll be back at it Sunday!!!
I hope for every puma that posts on this site there are a 100 more that have only posted once. I hope for every puma that has only posted once there are 1,000 frequent readers of the puma site and puma news and related blogs. I hope for each of those readers there are 10,000 people who know what PUMA has done during this election, and have used the news, research, and links to make a real informed decision not to vote for BO. I hope all those people show up to vote with a friend that they have helped make an informed decision not to vote BO. AND I hope all of those people know even without posting on the site they are PUMAs too.
Anna7000 11.01.08 at 7:08 pm
Thanks for the link catsarepumas.
Snowtiger – Great news. I’m in northern CA and everyone who was for Hillary that I know switched to Obama and there’s no convincing them. They’re stuck on “policy” issues and can’t get beyond that to absorb the myriad issues we are all immersed in. It’s sickening. Then there are those Dems who find the caucus fraud stuff interesting, but feel like it’s ancient history and Obama is the Dem candidate and, here we go round and round in circles. Then there are those Dems who hated Hillary. Nothing but distain for her. And, distain for McCain and all things Republican. That’s part of why I started shifting my focus and canvassing Republican households to urge them to take action. Most have been receptive, but I have no way of knowing how many have followed through.
I’m down in the dumps, but I’m a very very very tenacious person and being down doesn’t make me quit. It just makes me feel crummy while I’m working!!!

I agree with you. He won’t have a chance in h*ll to run again. I was just surprised that he entertained the idea that he might lose. His internal polling may not be what they want. It’s also interesting that some writers are coming out with stories now about an Obama loss being due to “racism.” We all know that’s not true and we expected the media/press to take that route. However, do these writers know something is brewing for Tuesday?
tennaseepuma 11.01.08 at 7:11 pm
Hello Pumas,
I have had a busy day,made lots of calls. Just wanted to share last night I was on yahoo(late)so I decided to check out their election map,anyway it was the popular vote map. John McCain was ahead with 40% of the votes counted?(by several thousand)
Interesting was the fact he was only behind in Ca by about 700 votes.
I did not know they were aloud to release the vote early,and today they changed their map to the electoral college vote. And bozo is ahead,are they going to do what they did to Hillary? Will they lie about who really wins again?
I think one of our priorities should be to get rid of the electoral college……Imho.

*** Rights group: Somali rape victim, 13, stoned to death ***
MOGADISHU, Somalia — A 13-year-old girl who said she had been raped was stoned to death in Somalia after being accused of adultery by Islamic militants, a human rights group said.
Dozens of men stoned Aisha Ibrahim Duhulow to death Oct. 27 in a stadium packed with 1,000 spectators in the southern port city of Kismayo, Amnesty International and Somali media reported, citing witnesses. The Islamic militia in charge of Kismayo had accused her of adultery after she reported that three men had raped her, the rights group said.

I was at the mac office last night I met some nice people there, women who were actually Hillary supporters. A lot of the repubs are saying that they really believe Bill and Hillary are going to vote Mccain! I did not even bring it up, they were talking about what the two of them “don’t say” when they are out stumping for oshitiamgettingscarednow. I went and held my Dems for McCain and PUMA sign across the street from the rally. Did not do if for long, as people were throwing things at me, cussing me out, flipping me off etc. I was getting pissed, but was by myself, so decided to leave once oigotsomescumbagsupporters busses showed up. I made sure they saw me, I was crossing the street and the bus had to stop, the secret service ran up and said I was not supposed to be there….er ..um…this is a public street said I….the light was green…just wanted to wave at the oiamsogoingtoloseasshole, on my way back to my car…right there..the one with the PUMA, HILLARY, NOOBAMA,COUNTRY FIRST STICKERS…And the grease pencil RELEASE THE KHALIDI TAPE written on the window.

Sorry, not feeling well so haven’t been on the blog much. I think it could be real, but we may never know the truth about this anymore than most of the things out there about obie. I read something months ago about a huge fight between BO and MO over if rumors were true with him and someone else…he told her they were not true, but the article didn’t say who it was about. Maybe it was a fight about Baker…at the time I thought it might be Larry…but later when I heard about Baker, thought that might be more of a threat to MO. Would I put it past BO, not any more than cheating in an election, lies and corruption.

I got an email from a friend today and it was about John McCain and his sons. The story below shows a side of John McCain which we could use when we blog on the web:
John McCain’s Sons
Apparently this was not “newsworthy”enough for the media to comment
about. Can the other presidential candidate truthfully come close to
this? …
Just a question for each of us to seek an answer to.
You see…character is what’s shown when the public is not looking.
There were no cameras or press invited to what you are about to read
about, and the story comes from one person in New Hampshire .
One evening last July, Senator John McCain of Arizona arrived at the
New Hampshire home of Erin Flanagan for sandwiches, chocolate-chip
cookies and a heartfelt talk about Iraq . They had met at a
presidential debate, when she asked the candidates what they would do
to bring home American soldiers – - soldiers like her brother, who
had b een killed in action a few months earlier.
Mr. McCain did not bring cameras or press. Instead, he brought his
youngest son, James McCain, 19, then a private first class in the
Marine Corps about to leave for Iraq . Father and son sat down to
hear more about Ms. Flanagan’s brother Michael Cleary, a 24-year-old
Army First Lieutenant killed by an ambush .. a roadside bomb.
No one mentioned the obvious: In just days, Jimmy McCain could face
similar perils. ‘I can’t imagine what it must have been like for them
as they were coming to meet with a family that …..’ Ms. Flanagan
recalled, choking up. ‘We lost a dear one,’ she finished.
Mr McCain, now the Republican nominee, has staked his candidacy on
the promise that American troops can bring stability to Iraq . What
he almost never says is that one of them is his own son, who spent
seven months patrolling Anbar Province and learned of his father’s New
Hampshire victory in January while he was digging a stuck military
vehicle out of the mud.
Two of Jimmy’s three older brothers went into the military. Doug
McCain, 48, was a Navy pilot. Jack McCain, 21, is to graduate from
the Naval Academy next year, raising the chances that his father, if
elected, could become the first president since Dwight D. Eisenhower
with a son at war.
I chose to share this with those who I believe will pass it on, to
others who will pass it on. We hear so much trash out there. How
about a simple act of kindness … and dedication to others placed
above oneself?
Has anybody heard if Barack Hussein Obama ever served in The American
Armed Services?
This is for all the Barack voters.
From Barack’s book, Audacity of Hope:
“I will stand with the Muslims should the political winds shift in an
ugly direction.”
HE DID NOT SAY STAND WITH AMERICANS!!!!!

Notyoursweetie:
Never heard of Robin Morgan and I don’t know what she considers her creds are to be spouting off about women and feminists, but she gives herself away as a fraud when she calls Sarah Palin ‘calculating’ as though that’s a bad thing in a female politican. Feminism 101 teaches you that using adjectives that would be a positive for a man as a negative for a woman, means you desperately need consciousness raising on the gender thing.

Hey Pumas
Anyone read this yet from the AP?
AP Reports that Obama’s Aunt is in the U.S. Illegally
November 01, 2008 3:19 AM
Zeituni Onyango, Sen. Barack Obama’s long-lost half-aunt who was discovered living in public housing in Boston earlier this week, is in the U.S. illegally, the Associated Press reported Friday.
The Obama campaign, which has generally refused to comment on any of Obama’s myriad half-siblings scattered throughout the globe, has generally refused to comment on Onyango though the campaign did confirm to the Times of London for its Saturday edition that she is Obama’s father’s half-sister.
Earlier this week the Times of London and the Boston Globe found the woman referred to in Obama’s memoir “Dreams From My Father” as “Aunt Zeituni.”
A person familiar with Onyango’s immigration status told the AP Friday that she “was instructed to leave the United States by a U.S. immigration judge who denied her asylum request…Onyango’s refusal to leave the country would represent an administrative, non-criminal violation of U.S. immigration law, meaning such cases are handled outside the criminal court system. Estimates vary, but many experts believe there are more than 10 million such immigrants in the United States.
A searchable database of campaign donations on the Huffington Post indicates that Onyango has given her nephew’s presidential campaign $260 the Times reports that the donations she has given have been in small increments under $200 so by law they do not show up on Federal Election Commission reports.
Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., discloses donations of all amounts; he has criticized Obama for not disclosing all donations, saying such a process lends itself to illegal contributions, such as — presumably — Onyango’s.

Here is the second story about his aunt.
Barack Obama’s Kenyan aunt ‘living illegally’ in US
Barack Obama has been drawn into a row over the immigration status of a Kenyan aunt after she was reported to be living illegally in the US.
Last Updated: 4:49PM GMT 01 Nov 2008
Miss Onyango lives in a public housing scheme in Boston. Photo: PA
Zeituni Onyango, 56, a half-aunt who has made donations to Mr Obama’s campaign, was denied asylum and instructed to leave the US in 2004. But she has been quietly living in Boston ever since, the Associated Press reported, citing a federal law enforcement official.
A statement from Mr Obama’s campaign said: “Senator Obama has no knowledge of her status but obviously believes that any and all appropriate laws be followed.”
Miss Onyango’s refusal to leave the country would represent an administrative, non-criminal violation of US immigration law, meaning such cases are handled outside the criminal court system. Estimates vary, but many experts believe there are more than 10 million such immigrants in the United States.
The Associated Press could not reach Miss Onyango immediately for comment. But in an interview this week, she said that she was praying for Mr Obama, although she declined to answer other questions about the Democratic candidate.
“I can’t talk about it, I just pray for him, that’s all,” she said.
“After the 4th, I can talk to anyone.”
It remains unclear why her request for asylum was rejected in 2004. A spokesman for US Immigrations and Customs Enforcement said the government does not comment on an individual’s citizenship status or immigration case.
Miss Onyango is not a relative whom Mr Obama has discussed in campaign appearances. Unlike his Kenyan father and his grandmother in Hawaii, she is not someone who has been part of the public discussion about his personal life.
But a law enforcement official told the Associated Press that her case – coming to light just days before the presidential election – led to an unusual nationwide directive within Immigrations and Customs Enforcement requiring any deportations prior to Tuesday’s election to be approved at a senior level.
The unusual directive suggests that the Bush administration is sensitive to the political implications of Miss Onyango’s case coming to light so close to the election.
Miss Onyango lives in a public housing scheme in Boston. It is uncertain how she would have qualified for such housing with a standing deportation order.

It is critically important that all random calls respond to a poll to keep the error rate down. so hanging up is a no no for the poll. Strange behavior.

Just wanted to know what your thoughts are. You guys knows this depraved democrat leadership now… think they’ll try to do it again in 2012 or will they realize how stupid they were and turn to Hillary?
***************
No Obama will not run in 2012, as soon as the elections are over the gargabe will pour out about this ne’er-do-well who relied on other to sing his “praises”
As far as Hillary out beloved, she blew her chances when she and Bill came out and almost glorified Obama…
It has made most of her supporters sick, to watch the head bopping… AAAHHHhhhhhhhhh
Will there even be a “Democratic” party left, that was known by the democratic supporters?
indy 11.01.08 at 7:38 pm
I just read this on the Patriot Room blog:
Hat Tip to The Patriot Room blog for some astounding news that I pray is true. They and a number of other blogs are reporting on a discussion that was broadcast by the Quinn and Rose Show, a radio program on which GOP internal polling was discussed. The gist of the discussion is that an historic movement away from Barack Obama and to John McCain is underway. The audio file is very slow to download but well worth the wait. The link is here.
The polling is focused on 15 to 20 states. The polling shows “undecideds breaking for McCain by 4 to 1.
New Jersey: McCain leads 48 to 43, with 7% undecided.
Michigan: McCain leads 44 to 42, with 10% undecided.
California: Obama leads 44 to 43, with 9/% undecided, 3% for Barr.
Pennsylvania: McCain leads 55 to 33, with 10% undecided. In Pennsylvania Obama only leads among Democrats by 47 to 37, with 14% undecided.
The two reasons Democrats are citing for voting for McCain are because Obama is “cheating” and “attempting to buy the election.”
If this proves to be true, it will be one of the greatest testaments to the goodness, wisdom and decency of the American people ever manifested in our history. Despite all the concerted efforts of the media and political elites, and the millions spent to move America to an agenda we have always rejected, Americans, in the quiet of their hearts, have seen what the Obama campaign is really about. Should we be shocked that even Democrats see their party’s nominee as an American-hating liar, fraud and cheat, who will say or do anything to hide his core beliefs, his closest friends and associates, his radical, Marxist ideology, and his commitment to undermine the Constitution, the freedoms and institutions of our country?
If these extraordinary numbers are true, God has heard the fervent prayers of millions, and not the hate-filled injunction of Obama’s pastor that America be damned.
BillieJo 11.01.08 at 7:38 pm

State Of Hawaii Backs Andy Martin In Obama Birth Certificate Battle
November 1, 2008
(HONOLULU)(November 1, 2008) Internet powerhouse Andy Martin has ignited a firestorm in Hawai’i over Barack Obama’s bogus “original” birth certificate. Martin won a stunning victory Friday afternoon (October 31st) when the State of Hawai’i backed his assertion that there was an original, “typewritten, 1961″ birth certificate, called a “Certificate of Live Birth” or “COLB” in Hawai’i, that no one has previously seen. Hawai’i officials retrieved and examined the document after Martin filed a lawsuit seeking access to the historic 1961 original.
Obama has falsely claimed to have placed the “original” on the Internet. Factcheck.org has falsely claimed to have seen this document and posted it on the Internet; that is not true. CNN has falsely ridiculed Martin.
Hawai’i officials have now refuted Obama’s false assertion

By the way, I have met (and talked with) Ayers and Dohrn.
Ayers: Remarkably unwilling to talk for a guy who supposedly came to lecture after a doc on the WU, but he said to ME that his new (this was 2004) book said that he and the WU shouldn’t have done any of what they did. Hmmm.
Dohrn: Stubborn, unyielding. Didn’t know who George Lakoff was or what “framing” was, instead blaming the Dem’s elections losses on the Dem and Rep Parties being equally in the pocket of the corporations (which not only isn’t true – and wasn’t even true in her day – but isn’t a logical answer to the question, i.e if that’s true, they why aren’t the parties just alternating being in power so as to maintain the appearance of a two-party democratic system, instead of having the Dems lose so many elections?).

Still don’t understand the rationale that PUMAs are the silent majority who are going to swing this election. In my view, if there are lots of us out there, our chances of being polled are as good as anyone else, relative to our numbers. I know I’ve been polled 3 times in the past 2 weeks. So, our NObama responses should be reflected in the polls and the polls suck big time.
I’m demoralized by continued to work and will not stop until Election Day, and will not stop after then, either.

Is it a no no and I don’t know about it???????
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
It is the very strick Muslim law that holds down women. makes them cover their face etc. very anti woman.
Within Sharia law, there are a group of “Haram” offenses which carry severe punishments. These include pre-marital sexual intercourse, sex by divorced persons, post-marital sex, adultery, false accusation of unlawful intercourse, drinking alcohol, theft, and highway robbery. Haram sexual offenses can carry a sentence of stoning to death or severe flogging. An eyewitness account of Soraya M, a woman executed by stoning, can be read on an anti-Iranian web site. Caution: do not read this if you have a weak stomach; it is quite graphic.

Here’s one little thing to think on Anna:
Pollsters are getting 80% hang-up rates.
Who is likely to hang up on a pollster? A sane, conscious M-P supporter, or a dazzled, drooling Obot?
Also there are anecdotal reports that some people are telling pollsters they are voting for Obama for fear of being traced and harrassed by Obamabots (a sad commentary on the kind of fear and paranoia they’ve stirred up in some people).
You also have to look at sampling: Big Ten Battleground showed Obama 13 points ahead in Wisconsin (53-40) , but used a ~ 35D 25R 39I sample; changing that to 40-34-26 makes it (at best, using a generous-to-Obama 100% party ID loyalty) 3.6 points instead…and that with a 3.9 margin of error.

Hello Pumas,
I have had a busy day,made lots of calls. Just wanted to share last night I was on yahoo(late)so I decided to check out their election map,anyway it was the popular vote map. John McCain was ahead with 40% of the votes counted?(by several thousand)
Interesting was the fact he was only behind in Ca by about 700 votes.
I did not know they were aloud to release the vote early,
….//
=====
AFAIK, they are not allowed to do so. I think these are “exit polls”, or counts of registered voters who show up.

BrianH,
So how did they know who voted for who and how did they get the popular vote number? John McCain was ahead.
BrianH 11.01.08 at 8:12 pm
Re: early voting;
Texas allows voting to begin early–seventeen days before federal election day. But the polls are open on federal election day and most voters cast their ballots that day. No election results are released until the votes are tabulated on federal election day.
This may be a state-by-state thing, I don’t know. Any lawyers ‘ereabouts?

…”Ignorance and misinformation can handicap the progress of a city or a company but they can, if allowed to prevail in foreign policy, handicap this country’s security.
In a world of complex and continuing problems, in a world full of frustrations and irritations, American leadership must be guided by the lights of learning and reason or else those who confuse rhetoric with reality and the plausible with the possible will gain the popular ascendancy with their seemingly swift and simple solutions to every world problem….”
Who said this? When did we hear it? We never did get to hear it…these words prepared by President John F.Kennedy for presentation before The Dallas Trade Mart, November 22, 1963..
Leadership of this country can not, as President Kennedy would have told us here, be put in the hands of those who confuse rhetoric with reality, or the plausible with the possible…
We can not let, as President Kennedy would have reminded us,
“ignorance and misinformation” “handicap this country’s security.”….Barack Obama ..another John Kennedy?…Not even a patch on Kennedy’s old sailing shorts…

I don’t really want to get off topic onto this, but watch this commentary-free video: FITNA (means ‘disruption’). Historically, Mohammed had 12 or so harassed followers, until he gave the go-ahead to use banditry and conquest to convert and recruit. That was much more to the taste of the Bedouins, and they got on board.

Good evening PUMAs,
I was phone banking for McCain for hours, my cellphone is now flatline. Something good and strange happened while phone banking for McCain. When I look at the name I have to call, I know the name real well but I was thinking it was just a coincidence. I was a bit nervous, I was hoping the person I was calling is not the same person I’ve known for years and very close. When he answered the phone,and I said “hello”, I was more shock of his reply; “I never forget your voice.” I thought I’d wet my freaking undies! Anyway, I told him I am phone banking for McCain, I asked right away if he’s registered to vote, the answer was YES and he’s a democrat. I told him too I’m a democrat but voting for McCain this time. I explain why McCain is the best choice, he listened – he’s voting for McCain on Tuesday. I called him again and this time I setup a conference call, him and his parents. I’ve just change 3 NObama voters for McCain. Oh Yes! He’s flying over after election and rekindle what we’ve had years ago.

Republican Senate Candidates Abandon McCain
Republican candidates for the Senate in Oregon, Louisiana, North Carolina and elsewhere have de facto given up on John McCain and are urging voters to support them as a counterweight to President Obama. They say that one-party rule is bad for the country. Interestingly enough, in 2004, when Republican control of Congress was assured, few Republicans were advocating a vote for John Kerry in order to prevent the dreaded one-party rule. In 2000, 85% of the people voted for the same party for the Senate as for President, so in practice, people do not really split their tickets just to give each party some power. In fact, when Congress and the White House are controlled by different parties, everyone bemoans “the gridlock in Washington.” (2004 data weren’t available).

Vice presidential Candidate Wiley S. Drake Sr. to file in court asking to
de-certify Barack Obama because he has refused to release proof of being a Natural Born Citizen, thereby disqualifying Obama in his bid for the Office of President.
The recent Lawsuit in Washington State demanding their Secretary of State to vet the citizenship credentials of Barack Obama has spawned a slew of similar suits with new lawsuits filed and/or prepared in WA, FL, NC, CO, CA, OH, FL, CT, GA, TX, MI. Related lawsuits HI, US District.
As part of this effort, this group of citizens from states across the union made an outreach to the whole presidential slate asking each candidate for president and vice president to offer up a certified copy of their birth certificates and any related candidate declarations to be placed in a library made available to the public via a non-partisan web site.
At least one VP candidate Wiley S. Drake Sr. went the next step and agreed to file a lawsuit of his own to demand the disqualification of Barack Obama unless he can prove status as a ”Natural Born Citizen” as the constitution and federal statues demand and define.
In another unrelated action, though also aimed at forcing Obama to release proof or step down, 24 potential Electoral College electors are filing action Monday morning in court also demanding proof. A call is herein being issued to any elector in any state, especially democrat electors who would like to join that effort. Electors interested in adding their name to this lawsuit can contact Mr. Marquis who will put you in contact with the attorney handling that case.

Huckabee had a couple of business men on his show today. One of the men said he was undecided who to vote for. He side with Obama because he is also a minority but he felt linked with McCain because he was a Navy man.
He went on to say that his accountant had put together some figures for him and he knows under McCain’s plan he would save $400,000.00 and under Obama’s tax plan he would pay $2,000,000.00 but he’s still not sure who he will vote for.
Huckabee said with those figures how could he not know who to vote for.
IMO the guy is still determined to vote for Obama. Voters?

We have given women a chance to rule and be leaders in the community. And we now see that they have not prepared a future for the race, nor even themselves. Instead, they are crying because of the “shortage of men”; yet they are not doing anything about to create “abundance” or surplus; although they wanted to “be in charge” and have the resources to do so. So instead, of being “hard as nails” or “hammering nails” to get work done, they are only getting their finger “nails” and toes “nails” painted more and more And no men’s work gets done. Do you see the irony and hypocracy of this???

I saw a video where Joe in the Morning – one of the few conservative commentators on MSNBC – today (Sat) said that all the republicans who had been telling him for the past 6 months that they voting for Obama are ALL now saying that they will be voting for McCain. Joe said the more moderate republicans are coming home to the republican party as they learn more about Obama.
I’m guessing that they discovered that they cannot support Obama’s liberal agenda – which has been more exposed since Joe the Plumber’s interaction with Obama.
In recent months I’ve only been thinking about how hard it is to be a democrat voting republican for the first time. I never really thought about the crossover of republicans voting democrat in this election and how that has been affecting the count for Obama.
If a trend – this change of republicans deserting Obama to vote for McCain may prove to be significant. However such a trend may be unnoticed by the media since mainstream media is too busy assuming this is a done deal for the DNC.
First mainstream media underestimates PUMA power (democrats turning away from the Democratic party for this election), and now the media is not thinking about republicans who previously said they were for Obama, but who do not believe in distributing the wealth or radical points of view.
Talk about a surprise on Election Day for those media who are not paying attention!

STOP EXPLOITING BATTERED WOMEN
Puma’s, asking you to comment on the last two issues of this blog. They are quite disturbing by a woman who supposedly champions other women. Read The Seductress and the Battered Nation Syndrome.
http://www.debbieford.com/index.php?p=ShadowBlog
Here’s why I’m asking; I know a few people who have been victims of abuse (don’t we all). I noticed recently, this common hatred toward Sarah Palin that made no logical sense. They were frothing in their disgust of Palin. Worse they were deciding to vote FOR Obama due to this hatred of Palin. After some investigating, I realized this woman was THE common denominator and influence in their perspective.
Debbie Ford. She a FOO (Friend of Oprah) and has a significant following.
These blog posts are cultish irrational, and shockingly manipulative. If you were to follow her logic, a victim of abuse could reclaim his or her health by voting for Obama. She claims we all suffer what she calls “Battered Nation Syndrome” and Obama is the fix. She is exploiting wounded fragile people to gain votes for The One.
I know there are much hotter irons in the fire right before the election, but I also feel part of what we do is stand up to this kind of exploitation. Obama will abuse the nation, not McCain. Opportunists like Debbie Ford whose readership is largely women who are wounded and searching, should know other woman (and men) like us are watching.
I know we are all prioritizing our time right now, but if you would take a moment to burst her bubble it would be appreciated.
Here’s the contact page.
http://www.debbieford.com/index.php?p=Contact
Thanks,
Aloha,
Here’s an excerpt:
But we must stop them. In the next five days, we must help those who are too mired in the abuse of the Republican administration to get out. We must remind them that they have been through this before and that the bully, even if wrapped in a different persona, is still there, alive and well, waiting to lure them in just one more time. “Trust me,” he smiles, “I will be better next time. I’m not the same as the guy I supported 90% of the time. Come, come, little girl. If you go out and try dating that new guy (Obama), he won’t love you like I will. He won’t pay your bills and take care of you. I know there’s no money in our bank account but it’s coming soon, I promise. You love me honey. I know you do.” This is how the bully reacts when the battered woman tries to move on.
Today we are charged with bringing light to those who believe John McCain and Sarah Palin will be any different than George W. Bush and Dick Cheney. We must assume that they only believe this because they are suffering from Battered Nation Syndrome. We have to help them see that they are being slowly cooked, like the frog in the pot of cold water over an open flame who stays there even as the water gets hotter and hotter until he boils to death because he doesn’t realize what is happening. He, like so many Americans, doesn’t even know that he is in dangerous territory and his life is going to end.

I was on RCP reader articles, and I came across this article.
It’s about PUMAs being under the radar and going to help McCain win the election. I loved this paragraph:
The big question is how many PUMAs are there among the electorate? Not all of the 18 million who voted for Sen. Clinton in the primaries will vote for John McCain. But it is difficult to pin down the exact number of those who will mark their ballots for the Republican. This is because many of them are intentionally concealing this fact by telling pollsters when called that they will vote for Obama, although their intention is clearly to vote against him, i.e., for McCain. Others from their ranks are telling the pollsters that they are independent and undecided. Still others will say outright that they are going to vote for McCain. If this seems somewhat confusing, that is the general idea – don’t give the Obama campaign’s oppo people any useful intel.
How true. Good article. Read and enjoy:

Interesting information on this site about the Weather Underground (by the way if you have time read up on them on wikipedia). I also took the time to read the comments underneath the article. I hope this blogger doesn’t mind that I’m reprinting their comment (I think she is making interesting points):
“Claire on Nov 1, 2008 at 4:26 pm:
I can’t believe we are at this point where it’s 3 days away and NOBODY so far has been able to ask Obama what he thinks of Marxism, Socialism, his father being a socialist, his Cousin Odinga being a socialist, what he thinks of the tenets of Black Liberation Theology, which parts does he agree with, which parts does he reject, does he think white people are responsible for all the ills in the world, does he think the US is imperialist, are community organizers generally socialististic, how far can that be taken, does he think monetary reparations needed to be done in the 60’s, does he think they need to be done today, how much is enough and how do you measure that, how does he explain the rise of the poor class after welfare was reformed and why would he want to bring that back? Or anything else along these lines.
Gahh- This whole election is horrifying.”
Back in my grad school days I had contact with some of these socialist groups and generally thought they would grow up and move on once they finished school. Well, they didn’t grow up and now we have to live with their world-view (capitalism is evil and the reason we have racism, sexism, etc…). Too bad they didn’t attend class because they would have learned a little more about life in socialist/communist countries. Socialism didn’t get rid of the -isms (sexism, racism, elitism). Best.

Ohio Democrats cotton to McCain
By David M. Brown
TRIBUNE-REVIEW
Saturday, November 1, 2008
STEUBENVILLE, Ohio — Farmer John Dewell drove 40 miles on Friday to hear Republican presidential nominee John McCain’s impassioned plea for Buckeye State voters to propel him to the White House.
Dewell, 74, of Scio, who raises beef cattle on a 157-acre farm, showed up for a rally at the courthouse with a McCain-Palin button pinned to his denim overalls.
“There for a while I thought, well, we’ve got four more years of Bush, or Barack Obama. I have changed my opinion,” Dewell said. “John McCain has got the ideas to get us up out of this mess we’re in.”
Dewell was not alone. Several thousand supporters cheered as McCain’s Straight Talk Express bus cruised into sight in this Rust Belt region, where Democrats outnumber Republicans by more than 2-to-1.
McCain, on the final leg of a two-day swing through Eastern Ohio, is in a tight race with Democratic nominee Barack Obama for Ohio’s 20 electoral votes. President George W. Bush twice carried the state, and the narrow victory here in 2004 sealed his re-election.
“You are going to be the battleground state again. You are going to be the one that decides,” the Arizona Republican told supporters. “I need Ohio, and I need you.”
Obama leads by 3 to 9 percentage points in various polls. But that did not appear to discourage supporters.
“I like that McCain has experience in government. I”m going to vote for him,” said David Lalich, 63, of Steubenville, a Democratic city councilman and retired steelworker. “I also like (Gov. Sarah) Palin. I think she’s doing a good job in Alaska. She’s had some experience, and I think if something were to happen to Mr. McCain, she could step right in.”
“Let’s be quite honest,” Lalich added, “the president isn’t the only person who runs the country.”
Joseph ‘Slugs’ Smarrella, 64, another Democrat, retired steelworker and former union official, said McCain’s push for “clean coal technology” could help revive the economy in a region that was hard hit by the decline of the steel industry. When Smarrella was a young man, he said, the local Steelworkers union had about 13,000 members, and now there are about 1,600.
“I like McCain’s stance on most of the issues,” Smarrella said. “On the economy. The war. Abortion. Guns. I’ve been a Democrat all my life. My grandfather and father worked in the mills. Three generations.”
Obama, campaigning in Iowa yesterday, told supporters to expect McCain’s campaign to end in a crescendo of attacks on him.
“More of the slash and burn, say-anything, do-anything politics that’s calculated to divide and distract; to tear us apart instead of bringing us together,” Obama told 25,000 in Des Moines.
Obama quoted McCain saying during his 2000 campaign for president, “I will not take the low road to the highest office in this land.”
“The high road didn’t lead him to the White House then, so this time, he decided to take a different route,” Obama said.
At the Steubenville rally, McCain described Obama as steering “in the left-lane of American politics.”
“Senator Obama wants to spread the wealth around. He wants to take your money and give it to somebody else,” McCain charged.
Dewell, the farmer, said he would advise McCain to come down harder on issues such as Obama’s former pastor in Chicago, the Rev. Jeremiah Wright.
“I’d like to talk to him eyeball to eyeball. He needs to get mad,” Dewell said.

REPOST OF LETTER TO SEND TO FAMILY, FRIENDS, ETC.
——————————————————-
I am writing to you because of the profound concern and urgency I feel regarding our upcoming Presidential election. I write knowing I am taking the risk of alienating those who I have had relationships with for a short time in some cases, for many many years in others. But, I am taking that risk because I feel the stakes are so high and the dangers are so great.
As many of you know, I was supporting Hillary Clinton during the primaries. Being actively involved in the political process, I came to learn first hand about many things that might not be readily known if one were not so integrally involved. In sum, the end result of the Democratic primary process was a sham and a horrid degradation of democratic processes. For anyone, irrespective of who they did or do support, who might have wondered how Clinton won more primaries than any other candidate in history yet lost 13 out of 14 of the caucuses, I would urge you to visit http://www.lynettelong.com/CAUCUSFRAUD/ to learn about the travesty that occurred during the caucuses.
However, this is far and beyond the means by which Senator Obama came to be the Democratic Party’s nominee. There are numerous issues surrounding him and his background that the media have simply failed to vet and which should give anyone pause.
Barack Obama has aligned himself with a cast of characters that includes hate mongers, anti-Semites, convicted felons and former terrorists. This is not rumor. These are the facts. He repeatedly minimizes these relationships or simply lies about them, changing his story as is politically convenient. His relationship with Reverend Wright and his church is one of many examples. First he attended church religiously every Sunday, then he only went sometimes because it was hard to sit in the pews with squirming children. Then he did not hear what Wright preached. Then, he heard it but did not agree with it.
This is a church that honored Louis Farrakhan with a Lifetime Achievement award. Surely there are thousands and thousands of black men and women who would be worthy of such an award. To honor Farrakhan, a man who thought Hitler was a great man, speaks volumes.
Obama says he is a friend to Israel, yet embraced the anti-Semitic rants of Reverend Wright for 20 years. If Clinton or McCain attempted such a ruse, they would have been blasted and out of the race before they could get to first base.
He favors transparency in government, yet we have yet to see his birth certificate, records from Occidental College, Columbia College, Harvard University, Selective Service registration, Medical Records, Illinois State Senate schedule, Harvard Law Review or University of Chicago articles.
He wants to spread the wealth around, yet records show that he donated less than 1% of his income to charity between 2002 and 2006. During the past two years his donations increased slightly, just in the knick of time as he started his Presidential bid. Whether you like or dislike Sarah Palin, you may be interested to learn that she and her husband donated more money to charity than both Obama and Biden combined over the past many years.
Meanwhile, his definition of “middle class” has continued to drift such that his promise of who will be protected from increased taxes becomes an ever shrinking group. This link highlights the dramatic and steady shifts he’s made in recent days: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z-SavgJlBLA. For those not interested in viewing the video, or if it has been scrubbed by the time you click on it, in sum, Obama has gone from promising a tax cut to those earning under $250,000/year to under $200,000/year to $150,000/year and if you listen to Bill Richardson (who the Obama campaign has now conveniently distanced themselves from after he made this announcement), $125,000/year. One can only wonder how much further it will drift down should he be elected.
Obama talks about equality and wanting to make our public schools better. Who wouldn’t want to do that? He is against school vouchers. Curiously, he sends his children to private school.
Obama talks of equal pay for equal work, yet pays his female staffers 78 cents on the dollar compared to his male staffers. Less than half of his top advisors are women. Conversely, John McCain pays his female staffers $1.04 on the dollar as compared to his male staffers and more than half of his top advisors are women.
Obama was in favor of public campaign financing, then he went back on his word and opted out. He was strongly against FISA, then voted for it. He was the only, I repeat only, Senator to vote against a bill that would ensure that babies born alive due to botched abortions not be left to die.
He suggests that his values include helping those in need, yet he ignored the plight of families living in uninhabitable housing in his state senate district. Adding insult to injury, he developed a financially beneficial relationship with Tony Rezko (now a convicted felon), the slumlord of those buildings.
He used to speak of uniting Americans, now he urges his supporters to argue and get in people’s faces while calling those who do not support him, racists.
When asked tough questions by the media (a rare occurrence), he blasts them for doing so. Apparently, it is not acceptable to press him on matters of concern. Most recently, he booted off three reporters from the same three newspapers that endorsed McCain, from his campaign plane. Naturally, he gave an excuse for why.
He enlisted the power of the state in Missouri, including prosecutors and Sheriffs, to go after those who might dare to speak out against him with what he deemed to be lies. The power of the state was also recently brought to bear against the man now commonly known as “Joe the Plumber.” Curiously, the head of the Ohio Job and Family Services Dept who authorized the investigation which was based on nothing other than the fact that Joe was thrust into the public eye, is an Obama supporter who donated the maximum to his campaign this year. The ACLU has been strangely silent on these issues. It appears they need to adjust their mission statement. The media has seemed to care not a wit and neither, it would seem, do millions of Americans. However, we should all take heed, for when the state goes after someone like Joe without cause, we all know who is next.
Meanwhile, when asked whether he would run for President after he won his US Senate seat, Barack Obama said he would not, citing the thing we all know to be true: Lack of experience. Yet once again, he changed his mind, and left his hollow words behind.
In an interview around that same time, when Michelle Obama was asked if her husband should run for President, she also said, no, stating, “He hasn’t done anything yet!”
As an Illinois state senator, he voted present an unprecedented 190 times, unable or unwilling to take a stand on important legislation.
As a US Senator, he has worked a total of 143 days, campaigning for the remainder of his term. He has no record of legislative achievement.
This election year it’s down to the basics. Can we truly afford to have a neophyte with a history of dubious relationships and a dangerous view of national security to be elected to the highest office in the land? Should our next Commander-in-Chief be someone who couldn’t pass national security clearance? Is it wise to elect someone to be President of the United States who has not remained in any position long enough to serve anyone or any thing other than his own ambitions?
Obama does not lead by example. There is no track record of achievement. He has a trail of relationships that should cause anyone to wonder what his agenda truly is.
All we have are his words. And he doesn’t keep his word.
This is about the cult of personality and history has taught us the dangers in going down that road.
I’ve never voted for a Republican in my life, but this year I am voting for John McCain. I hope you will join me on Election Day.

Other then that, why all the drama about Hillary supposedly “joining” up with the repugs, McCain/Palin and the DOJ to take down BO. Could she have known back in January 08 that this letter could be used agaist him now? Nah, I do not believe that.

So how did they know who voted for who and how did they get the popular vote number? John McCain was ahead.//

The NUMBER of voters is not a problem; but the counts are held until election day, I believe. The exit polling, which has its own problems, could be used to extrapolate results.
But I’m not absolutely sure of the rules in various states.

The odd thing aboutnthat site is its connection to Elijah Mohammead through him Farakahn, thoough him Wright and of course CArpathia.
I often wondered why a democrat , any democrat would be so stupid as to pay his female staffers lees than his male staffers. Makes no sense what so ever.
Democrats have always been able to put up a good front on such things. Part and parcel of the political games. For some reason “O” didn’t/ Why?
Remember at the convention it was mandatory to create “gender parity” in delegates?
An why such venomous hatred of Hillary and Palin? It has gone far beyond politics imho. Has always been beyond politics.
Why?
I think the answer lies in those pages.

Anna7000 11.01.08 at 9:22 pm
Brian and Tennessee – You can always call your state SoS to find out the rules and/or go to their web site (or that of any state SoS with early voting, for that matter) and see if they post actual results. I happen to think that even posting exit polling is bs. In past years, the media has always wrung its hands over the ethics of doing this and seem to agree they should hold off till polls close across the country, while also wanting to be the first to jump on numbers to get viewers and ratings, etc. Now, with all this early voting, even if the SoS doesn’t release the hard numbers, I think it’s terrible to have exit polls. Polling people ahead of time as to who they plan to vote for is one thing, but exit polls are one step closer to getting a sense of the real vote tally and announcing that can have a devastating effect on those who have yet to vote, in my opinion. But, hey, what’s new? Is anything going on that isn’t bs? If there is, it’s surely hard to find. I even just discovered today that after weeks of going to American Thinker every morning and posting on every article and blog a short blurb urging folks to make calls for McCain to swing states only to discover today that the editor hasn’t been printing my posts. I’m so fed up. The Dems drifted away. The Republicans have never been my home and, as far as I can tell, are pretty freaking complacent. I feel like all I’ve got are PUMAs (thank God for that).

* You cannot strengthen the weak, by weakening the strong.
* You cannot bring about prosperity, by discouraging thrift.
* You cannot lift the wage earner up, by pulling the wage payer down.
* You cannot further the brotherhood of man, by inciting class hatred.
* You cannot build character and courage, by taking away people’s
initiative and independence.
* You cannot help people permanently, by doing for them what they could and should, do for themselves.

National Campaign Fund president and independent ad producer, Floyd Brown, has petitioned the Los Angeles Times with letters and demands that transcripts of what’s on the tape be released immediately. The Times claims it promised its source not to reveal the tape. Brown maintains this is no grounds for withholding a transcript, at the very least.
The reason the tape is considered so important is because of what it might reveal. According to a very reputable blogsite, the tape would be extremely damning to Obama if it were released. The Doug Ross blog has posted quotes allegedly found on the tape. The source said to verify these quotes has proven very credible. Here is an excerpt from the blogsite. “He (Obama) congratulates Khalidi for his work saying ‘Israel has no God-given right to occupy Palestine’ plus there’s been ‘genocide against the Palestinian people by Israelis.’”
Here is a link to the entire story as found on the Doug Ross blog:

I know. I know. If it weren’t for the horror of seeing people I know being manipulated and demoralized, I wouldn’t ask. I’ll repost tomorrow, but here’s a quickie.
Ms. Ford,
Your two most recent posts on the Shadow Blog are quite disturbing. Both posts appear to exploit the abused in an attempt to gain votes for Barack Obama.
You are a well-known author that whose work many people (especially women) seek to bring peace to broken lives. As such, demonizing Sarah Palin as a “seductress” for political purposes, and leading your readership to believe John McCain is analagous to a “batterer” is blatent mysogyny and deeply unethical. It also ignores the long standing pattern of abuse on the part of Obama followers encouraged by Obama.
The end does not justify the means, Ms. Ford. Please stop exploiting victims of abuse to help Barack Obama get elected.

Not sure if you saw my message yesterday … just want you to know that I emailed Murphy with a message for her to forward my email address to you. I’m sure she has a ton of emails to get through over the next few days so you may not get the info for a while.
My interview yesterday went great, will find out on Tuesday if I have the job. On my way to Baton Rouge I saw a huge beautiful American Bald Eagle flying overhead … this is always a good omen for me.
I find this interesting, I’m 45 yrs old, and up until 9 months ago I had only seen about three Bald Eagle sightings in the wild. But over the last 9 months I have seen about 12 sightings, including a very rare sighting of two eagles mating in flight. I was driving when I saw these two eagles flying together so I pulled over just in time to see them come together, lock talons and spin together toward the ground … it was amazing!! I like to think that this is a sign that McCain will be our next POTUS and truth will prevail.

Hang on to your hats…try not to get upset. This was on Heidi’s website and Go brought it to my attention. So terribly true and sad:
A song for this political season
WOMAN IS THE NIGGER OF THE WORLD
Album : Sometime in New York City
John Lennon – 1972
Woman is the nigger of the world
Yes she is… think about it
Woman is the nigger of the world
Think about it… do something about it
We make her paint her face and dance
If she won’t be a slave, we say that she don’t love us
If she’s real, we say she’s trying to be a man
While putting her down we pretend that she’s above us
Woman is the nigger of the world.. yes she is
If you don’t believe me, take a look at the one you’re with
Woman is the slave of the slaves
Ah, yeh… better scream about it
We make her bear and raise our children
And then we leave her flat for being a fat old mother hen
We tell her home is the only place she should be
Then we complain that she’s too unworldly to be our friend
Woman is the nigger of the world… yes she is
If you don’t believe me, take a look at the one you’re with
Woman is the slave to the slaves
Yeh (think about it)
We insult her every day on TV
And wonder why she has no guts or confidence
When she’s young, we kill her will to be free
While telling her not to be so smart
We put her down for being so dumb
Woman is the nigger of the world
Yes she is…
If you don’t believe me, take a look at the one you’re with
Woman is the slave to the slaves
Yes, she is…
If you believe me, you better scream about it
We make her paint her face and dance
We make her paint her face and dance
We make her paint her face and dance

I think we all knew this was decided long ago, even before the primary/caucus farce was over. If BO gets it, he’s going to find out that when the rubber meets the road, talking and doing are two vastly different things. I’ve a feeling the man is REALLY going to wish someone else had become the first black POTUS. Being first is no guarantee he wont be a failure, even worse than GWB.
So don’t anyone lose hope. This country was built by people like us, not like him and his cronies, and getting cooperation from the American people will be a whole lot harder than buying votes.

Knowing that there’s good individuals and bad ones in every group/org/population(whatever), I earnestly believe that good women, men and children may need to assist our police the day after the McCain/Palin victory. Let’s nip this shit in the bud. So that it’s not protracted. So the traitor-media has no opportunity to give the air of legitimacy to our domestic enemies and their foreign comrades. Catch my drift?

Here’s an interesting post from another forum that I frequent:
“Interesting tidbit I noticed in the last week or so…I think even Joe Biden is having his doubts. All of a sudden, he’s running Senate ads. He’s up for re-election this year, and I believe he’s feeling the heat, so he’s covering his butt.
Very interesting….”
Also, I got one great convert. My brother has a friend in Florida who runs an internet radio station. The friend was going to vote Obama, so my brother asked me to send him some links to help change his friend’s mind. I sent him the links to Hannity’s 10 reasons not to vote for Obama. The friend viewed the links, was shocked and is now voting McCain! I urged my brother to talk him into pushing McCain on his radio broadcasts. It’s a dinky station and they only broadcast periodically, but I hope he gets something in before Tuesday. Anyway, I feel great about getting a vote switch in a swing state.

“A Vote for McCain-Palin from a Lifelong Hudson Democrat”
http://www.nj.com/hudson/index.ssf/2008/11/a_vote_for_mccain_from_a_lifel.html
After reading yesterday’s Jersey Journal endorsement of Sen. Barack Obama for president, the Rev. Alexander Santora, the Journal’s religion columnist, sent this piece along, offering a different point of view:
I am proud to reveal that I am voting for John McCain and Sarah Palin in Tuesday’s election. And this comes from the former co-chair for McGovern for President campaign at St. Peter’s College in 1972, my first vote for President.
I am a lifelong Democrat who has voted Democrat in every primary and election from local to national since that time except when I voted for Bret Schundler in the Republican primary and gubernatorial election in 2001.
And I do not consider myself a convert.
I admit I was disappointed that Hillary Clinton did not get the Democratic nomination. She was clearly the stronger of the two Democrats and actually won the most delegates if they were awarded as most elections are — winner take all. Were it not for affirmative action tallying, Barack Obama would be back in the Senate trying to build up the record he does not have now. He is a talented individual who shows much promise but is untested and undistinguished in his public life thus far.
And experience means more to me. I want someone who has been through the battles and can forge bipartisan leadership on some of the key issues facing the American people.
When Clinton lost, I tinkered with writing her name in next Tuesday. I did not want to vote Republican. Until McCain selected Palin. I like her. She is totally different from any candidate for national office in my lifetime. Her experience comes from her executive experience even if it is in smaller venues than most.
And she’s kind of the frontier woman that feminists would normally be proud of. What hasn’t she done! She shows great poise, connects with her audiences and is clear on what she believes. She may not have been McCain’s first choice for VP but he chose her and it reveals that he has the ability to shake things up.
Because of her, I looked more closely at McCain and found that there are some things I like about him.
He bucked his party on immigration and campaign reform, for example, and showed that he can cross the aisle and work with some of the liberal lions like Ted Kennedy and Russ Feingold.
I did not agree with the Iraq War but that is history. What we need now is someone who can extricate us with dignity and McCain has the background and chops to do that.
But I am especially proud of their pro-life record and support. I like that Palin brings her family on the campaign, especially her newborn son, and speaks of the dignity of the human person. I have never been happy with the Democratic party’s support of choice, which means pro-abortion. And how one can even fathom third trimester abortion, like Obama! Even the late Senator Daniel Moynihan, no liberal slouch, once referred to it as infanticide. We may not change these laws overnight but we can change as the late Pope John Paul II called the culture of death to one of life.
I think many feminists dislike Palin because she’s a totally different strain of woman. I find it interesting that snobby Peggy Noonan, former presidential speech writer, dislikes Palin. And yet she reveals the diversity of women in our country. It’s not all intellectual theory and words. McCain and Palin get my vote this time.
Anna7000 11.01.08 at 9:55 pm
ALOHA – Thanks for the link and the heads up. Just sent this.
———————————————————-
Dear Ms. Ford:
I’m new to your web site and found some of your writing about Sarah Palin illuminating in the sense that it helped me get a grasp of your perspective very quickly.
I find it curious that you seem to focus so intensely on Governor Palin’s cues such that you feel confident labeling her a “seductress,” yet you appear unaware of unconcerned with the fact that millions of heterosexual women appear to be swooning over Barack Obama due, in part, to his appeal as a man: the face, the smile, the body, the subtle cues that he gives that makes many women feel or fantasize about an intimate connection.
Second, your characterization of McCain and Palin’s roles is presumptuous, at best, and dangerously provoking, at worst. Is this truly what you spend your time thinking about? If so, I would say your thought process has gone seriously off course.
While I could write in greater detail regarding your work, I won’t. I can’t be that bothered. Suffice it to say that your nonsense does nothing to make the world a more enlightened place.
From a feminist, left leaning, life long Democratic,

Frankly, I think if there is grave unrest and chaos, Georgie Poorgie will call martial law under his Executive Order that is now standing and I do not know what would be worse, citizens in the streets trying to help Police which is not a good idea or being under martial law. Policie would not know who are trying to help and who are part of the chaos. Not a good idea.

Well….what part of the country are you in Mick?
I am in NW Washington state where eagle sightings are very common, especially along the Skagit River where I used to live for 20 years.
Let’s hope they weren’t fighting instead of mating.
There are basically, two sets of eagles. There are the permanent residents. They are usually in pairs that mate for life. Eagles have been observed flying into cliffs to die when their mates have perished.
Then there are the migratory birds that come down from alaska for the milder weather and the salmon and Steelhead runs. some years there are more, some years less.
My intuitive feeling is that it may be a sign that the election will not be decided on Tuesday, but may drag on for a period of time. What happened when the birds reached the ground?

The eagles didn’t appear to be fighting … after I saw them do their “dance” in air I went home and did more research on their mating habits and it seemed to describe what I had seen.

Just saw Joe Biden mouthing off on FOX. YUK. He really looks nutty these days. He looks ugly and angry and beastly. What’s happened to him? He used to be a nice man, if a little odd and self-absorbed. Now he just looks like a maniac. A very pale version of Hugo Chavez in terms of ugly gestures and provocative, condescending, contemptuous loud-mouthed angry rhetoric.
tillerylakelady 11.01.08 at 10:05 pm
Barack Hussein Obama wants it both ways.
Any American who uses his full name is trying to scare voters, his wife charges. But Obama says he understands why Islamic terror group Hamas looks at his middle name and trusts him.
Ditto for his plan to meet with Iran’s madman president and other rogue leaders. Obama sees his open-door policy as evidence he will end President Bush’s “cowboy diplomacy.” When Bush slammed that plan Thursday as “appeasement,” Obama accused him of a “false political attack.”
It’s a legitimate attack, because Obama’s kumbaya foreign policy is dangerous. And his name, including the Hussein part, is fair game because Obama has declared it an international advantage.
He can want it both ways, but he can’t have it.
The trouble started when Hamas adviser Ahmed Yousef said, “We like Mr. Obama” and added, “we hope he wins the election.”
That’s an endorsement, plain and simple. When John McCain jumped in, promising to be Hamas’ “worst enemy,” Obama got huffy and accused McCain of “divisive fear-mongering.”
That’s par for the Obama course. Michelle Obama once said anyone using her husband’s full name is throwing the “ultimate fear bomb. When all else fails, be afraid of his name.”
Maybe we should be afraid. Consider what Obama says in an interview in the current Atlantic magazine.
Asked by writer Jeffrey Goldberg if he was “flummoxed” by the Hamas support, Obama responds no and says: “It’s conceivable that there are those in the Arab world who say to themselves, ‘This is a guy who spent some time in the Muslim world, has a middle name of Hussein and appears more worldly and has called for talks with people, and so he’s not going to be engaging in the same sort of cowboy diplomacy as George Bush,’ and that’s something they’re hopeful about.”
He adds: “That’s a perfectly legitimate perception as long as they’re not confused about my unyielding support for Israel’s security.”
In fact, there is confusion. Some of it goes to his long relationship with the Rev. Jeremiah Wright, whose church magazine printed anti-Israel views. There is no evidence Obama objected.
The Atlantic interview adds to the confusion. While Obama stresses the importance of Israel to Jews, he also seems to parrot liberal nonsense that blames the entire Mideast conflict on Israeli settlements.
He even links Israeli parents’ concern for their children’s safety to settlements, posing the question: “Is settlement policy conducive to relieving that over the long term, or is it just making the situation worse?”
WRONG QUESTION. The right one is why should Israel or anyone else meet with Hamas, which won’t recognize Israel’s right to exist and fires rockets into civilian areas? Hamas’ vow to destroy Israel has nothing to do with settlements or borders.
One question has been answered, though. Now we know why Hamas prefers Barack Hussein Obama. He’s told us himself.

BillieJo Most people here know I was born hermaphroditic (that is both male and female) Of course, everyone is, but I have both sets of organs. I’ve always felt the female to be the strongest side. That song posted above irritates me.
Because Jesus, who is Michael, the Archangel, come to earth as man, said that on the judgement day, the last shall be first.
I’ve always believed that means that Woman has a very special place in the Creator’s heart. If one reads the words to that song, they must see that man was not given such a burden. Is it because he is special or because he does not have the strength?
Each person believes what they believe….I believe that only angels have a higher station in the pecking order of the universe. And Michael said, “Be of good cheer, for I have overcome the world.” And, “Greater is He that is within you, than He that is of the world.”
So I believe we have more than hope, we have the promise.
Let’s not grow faint or weary but carry on. Just as we always have.

#258 jenniforhillary, I had a friend tell me that she thought the divide between McCain and BO supporters was that BO supporters didn’t care about America and McCain/Hillary people did. I don’t know if the line is so black and white, but there might be something to that. I belonged to the loyal opposition throughout the Bush administration, but I don’t hate the U.S.. What I saw when I campaigned for HC was BO supporters who were angry and really felt there was nothing good about the U.S. (they felt entitled to their hate). I don’t think even a BO win will make them happy. Sad really.

Have no thoughts of the election. the One True God is inside of you. There is no need to look for confirmation of God external to yourself because God is not external to you and therefore can not confirm by external means.
Simply sit down and close your eyes and feel Love. really feel it as deep as possible. do it every day. When your desire is large enough & your feeling is feeling enough, you will connect with God inside of you. You will enter the Eternal Now Moment where God resides outside of time. You will experience Bliss that should last about a month. From that moment your life will be transformed.

All those who have been holding back will flood the news with their stories either way. He’ll be lucky to win reelection to the Senate by the time the beans are all spilled on him.

If love is stronger than hate, PUMAS will be victorious.
If there is a GOD, PUMAS will be victorious.
If karma is a bitch, PUMAS will be victorious.
If truth is more powerful than lies, PUMAS will be victorious.
If faith is stronger than money, PUMAS will be victorious.
If angels have more power than devils, PUMAS will be victorious.
If everything GOOD in the world is GREATER than everything BAD, PUMAS will be victorious.
I can honestly say that Tuesday is a very important day for me–the most important. It is the day I test my faith, my love, my inner strength, my beliefs, and my heart. For myself, for Hillary, for PUMAS, for innocents, for the world–WE MUST WIN. There is no second place this time…we cannot lose.
I love you all more than words can say.

Obama doesn’t have a dime for his Aunt but she gave to Obama…..
Obama’s aunt Zeituni Onyango Living in a Slum in Boston
The campaign said it was returning $260 that Onyango had contributed in small increments to Obama’s presidential bid over several months. Federal election law prohibits foreigners from making political donations.
Source: MSNBC
Question: If Obama doesn’t have a dime for his OWN family – what makes you think he cares about you and your needs?
I find this information very interesting since MSNBC is asking the question.

My husband heard a snippet of an Obama speech on the radio today and the part he heard was Obama saying:
“I want to do Democracy in a new way..”
YIKES!
Yeah, we know, buddy. We’ve had a taste of your new form of democracy and it’s pretty freaking scarey!

GoPumaGo I agree. The election will eventually resolve itself. I don’t believe it will be over even on the 5th. But when I place my spirit in the Creator’s hands, I realize how finite it all is.
Here, we live loved. Here we learn to live and love without agendas. And, yes, forgiveness and love are always more powerful than hate.

Barack Hussein Obama chanted it with pride and finesse.
Elnur said: I am not a US citizen and will not vote in the elections. Nevertheless, one point captured my interest in this post that I think is incorrect.
There is no Islamic law stating that if your father is Muslim you are Muslim as well and you cannot change it. That is totally wrong. It is because one becomes a Muslim if he or she publicly declares it by stating that I witness that there is no God but Allah and Muhammad is God’s Messenger.
The spin: pro-Obamities deny Obama declare this loyal to Islam. However, Obama did every morning at school — in public — during prayers. The fact Obama may think he is a christian. Islam doesn’t!
Fact: Obama describes his new found “Christian” faith as: (1) Suspicious of dogma (2) Without any monopoly on the truth (3) Nontransferable to others (4) Infused with a big healthy dose of doubt, and (5) Indulgent of and compatible with all other religions.
On February 27th, speaking to Kristof of The New York Times, Barack Hussein Obama said the Muslim call to prayer is “one of the prettiest sounds on Earth at sunset.”
In an interview with Nicholas Kristof, published in The New York Times, Obama recited the Muslim call to prayer, the Adhan, “with a first-class [Arabic] accent.”
The opening lines of the Adhan (Azaan) is the Shahada:
“Allah is Supreme! Allah is Supreme!
Allah is Supreme! Allah is Supreme!
I witness that there is no god but Allah
I witness that there is no god but Allah
I witness that Muhammad is his prophet….”
According to Islamic scholars, reciting the Shahada, the Muslim declaration of faith, makes one a Muslim. This simple yet profound statement expresses a Muslim’s complete acceptance of, and total commitment to, the message of Islam. Obama chanted it with pride and finesse.

Noteworthy passages are reproduced below, along with exact transcriptions. The full pages, with each passage in context in high resolution, are found at the bottom of this post.
Much of Osawatomie, which was written at a time when the Dohrn-Ayers wing of the Weather Underground was transitioning from terrorism to “working from the inside” for revolution, concerns itself with the need to encourage “organizers” who will work in “communities” and use “audacity” to bring about “socialism” in America.

LA Times Protest 11-3-08
Contact: Joe
Email only: Joe@freedommarch.org FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
2 P.M. PDT, November 01, 2008
“Conga the LA Times” Monday, November 3, 2008 9AM – NOON
FreedomMarch.org is continuing the LA Times protest to inspire the newspaper to finally release its Khalidi-Obama video. Senator Obama was allegedly taped toasting former PLO spokesperson, Rashid Khalidi. Please join us for an hour, or all three, to demand that the LA Times fully disclose all information regarding presidential candidate Barack Obama.
“Conga the LA Times” Monday, Nov 3, 2008 9AM – NOON. Bring your own flags, cameras, and signs. Travel via Metrolink is recommended.
LA Times HQ
202 West 1st St.
Los Angeles, CA 90012
The Los Angeles Times withheld vital character information regarding former Senator and presidential candidate, John Edwards. It’s doing the same thing again with Barack Obama.
Join us to demand that the LA Times release the Khalidi-Obama video.
See our first day March here: http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=nx5N2n24x2k&
http://www.FreedomMarch.org
Editorial by FreedomMarch.org – Nov 1, 2008
“The most effectual engines for [pacifying a nation] are the public papers… [A despotic] government always [keeps] a kind of standing army of news writers who, without any regard to truth or to what should be like truth, [invent] and put into the papers whatever might serve the ministers.” …Thomas Jefferson
What would our Founding Fathers say about the current state of freedom of press in this country? In recent months, the Los Angeles Times has sat on stories that could have potentially
changed the outcome of the presidential election were they printed. What would have been the impact on the Democratic primary had the LA Times elected to print a story concerning John Edwards and his alleged love affair? Would Edward’s voters have given the primary to Hillary Clinton? Probably, but of course we will never know with certainty. What we do know for sure is that when the American people have to rely upon The National Enquirer for their critical news because major media like the LA Times are more interested in forwarding their ideological political agenda than in doing their job – protecting our democracy by exposing the truth about candidates and issues – we all suffer. So what was the excuse for not running with the Edwards story even as interest in the story grew and low circulation caused the Times staff to shrink? One would think that given the current financial concerns of the LA Times, they would have a business interest in printing stories that could sell newspapers. However, that seems to not be the case.
One of the LA Times top execs has higher concerns, though. He recently sent staff an edict: “There has been a little buzz surrounding John Edwards and his alleged affair,” it read. “Because the only source has been the National Enquirer, we have decided not to cover the rumors or salacious speculations.” (http://www.bloggernews.net/117087)
The LA Times is deciding for us. Once again, the LA Times has chosen the agenda – helping Barack Obama anyway it can over its own financial interests, and more importantly, over its duty to the democracy to print the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth.
It has recently come to the attention of FreedomMarch.org that the Los Angeles Times is in possession of a videotape that allegedly features then Illinois state senator Barack Obama toasting Rashid Khalidi. Mr. Khalidi is a former spokesman for the Palestinian Liberation Organization (PLO). Khalidi’s ties to this terrorist organization, along with his many anti-Israel statements are profoundly disturbing, and even more so if he has the close friendship and support of a potential US President.
FreedomMarch.org believes that the refusal of the Times to release this tape is but one more example of the clear bias in the “main stream media” and further demonstrates the refusal of the media to fully and completely vet the man who, in just days, may be elected to the highest office in our great nation. We call for Patriots everywhere to join us in demanding the immediate release of this video tape along with any other information the LA Times possesses regarding the complete relationship between Khalidi and Obama.
The American people have the right to full and complete disclosure with respect to the man who has asked us to trust him with the most sensitive of information. Nothing less than our national security, that of Israel, and that of the entire world is at stake. The LA Times has an ethical, moral, and patriotic duty to release the tape and tell the truth. The dereliction of duty on the part of the American media in this election could never be clearer as the LA Times seeks to insulate Obama from the truth and from his questionable past.
We deserve better treatment by the LA Times and mainstream media. We now demand it.

I think when Obama says he wants “to ‘do’ democracy in a new way,” substitute a common if crude slang euphemism for “do.” I think that’s what he wants to “do” to democracy.
And he wants to do it in a new way, not the same old way all the other totalitarian, fascist leaders have in the past.
alohapuma 11.01.08 at 10:25 pm
mountainsong,
You mentioned foregiveness. The capacity to forgive comes from a connection to Spirit regardless of religious beliefs. That’s part of why my rational mind says the country would be in better hands with John McCain. He forgave the people who tortured him. I don’t think Obama commends nearly that kind of light.

On Feb 15/08, Usama K. Dakdok, President of The Straight Way of Grace Ministry called Obama’s Church and reported the following conversation: ” I then asked the person who answered what I needed to do to join. She told me that I needed to attend two Sunday School classes in a row and then I would walk the aisle. I replied, “That sounds easy. One last question please. If I am Muslim and I believe in the Prophet Mohammed, peace be unto him and I also believe in Jesus, peace be unto him, do I have to give up my Islamic faith to be a member in your church? She answered: “No, we have many Muslim members in our church.”

Just an FYI — the bald eagle reintroduction program, decades in operation, has been a fantastic success. Chicks from the west coast of Canada etc. were hand-reared by hand puppets, taught to fly, and sprinkled throughout their traditional range. They have come back so well that they are no longer seriously threatened anywhere in the US. Expect to see more and more of them as time goes on!
Oh, and it’s “sightings”, not “sitings”.

I really am ashamed to say that Biden was my primary candidate back when this loooong saga first started. I really appreciated his candor and foreign policy chutzpa, and felt he was worth a look. But did not know then that he was just a giant gaff machine. I think Biden is too egotistical to be kept in chains the way the BO campaign has been doing him. To a certain extent he probably is going wacky because it’s just not his style to be muzzled in the background, he likes to talk way too much.

I don’t think Obama’s spiritually evolved enough to even comprehend “forgiveness” the way McCain has. People who have the capacity to forgive in such depth are touched by grace, (in my book). It’s a truly special person who has that capacity and I am always awed by them.
McCain has it. Obama doesn’t. I don’t see him ever reaching that level. He just doesn’t have “it.”

The thought that comes to my mind after reading your post, is why doesn’t he buy himself an island in “Second Life” (that online virtual world)?!!! There he could fanstasize to his heart’s content, remake the world in his own tragic, meglomaniacal vision, Michelle could be proud of their new island and all the little Obama-ites wouldn’t have to actually worry about their idol actually delivering any of his promises….
But if that’s not possible, then I think the leftover grape Kool-Aid from Jim Jones comes in as a close second as a good alternative.

I agree. It’s all in the inverse. Obama is hailed as some kind of new higher force to rescue American from darkness, yet when you look at the low-level vibes around him you see precisely the opposite. McCain is far more evolved, yet the he is labeled the opposite.
I don’t know the Bible really well, but I know there is a passage that says something like..
“By their deeds ye shall know them.”

The Bible also says:

Another good quote for around the campfire (Parabola Magazine):
“In an essay in Harper’s several years ago, Lewis Lapham wrote that democracy was an experiment, a flawed enterprise that required continued human attention it it was to serve us well. The philosophy of our relationship with animals in the Western industrialized world is also flawed, and in need of continued attention.”
After I read this quote I took extra-special care of my chickens today! Hope you’re all laughing…

…Mulling over the “new” and not improved Joe Biden,
I think the reason Biden looking so weird lately – so angry and ugly, etc. is because he’s at war with himself and it’s showing in his outer appearance and demeanor.
He sold out. He’s going against all his principles by standing beside Barack Obama. He used to pride himself on having a sense of honor and principle. He knows what Obama has done; he knows what the Democratic Party is doing. Hillary was a friend of his. He once seemed to at least WANT to adhere to that set of values, principles, honor he was so proud of. But since being tapped by the America’s new political superstar he’s left all that behind and he’s hating himself for it.
He fell victim to his inner weaknesses, whatever they may be. Maybe greed, vanity, ambition, power, ….Who knows? And now he’s paying the price for the Faustian deal he made with the devil. He’s paying in self-hatred and inner rage and it’s coming out in that ugly twisted contorted face you see on him on the campaign trail, the loud, provocative, contemptuous, condescending screaming, spitting speech….
He’s full of anger. The anger of a man who sold his soul and his honor down the river. For what?
Poor Joe Biden.

Breaking: FBI Investigating Far Left Lib & Obama Chair Wexler For Fraud
Another rotten fish in the Pelosi Swamp.
Rep. Robert Wexler (D-FL)
Far Left Rep. Robert Wexler (D-FL) and Barack Obama Florida campaign chairman has allegedly filed 25 amended FEC reports in the days immediately following Bill O’Reilly busting him in front of his Maryland home on camera.
Robert Wexler’s Republican opponent Edward Lynch has a compelling argument that there is much more to this story that needs to be revealed. Wexler’s campaign allegedly submitted 25 amended FEC reports between 7/23/08 (one day after O’Reilly busted him) and 7/30/08.
National Review reported the news this morning:

That’s a pretty charitable characterization. He’s been an egotist of nearly the first water all his life, contemptuous of others’ opinions and lower IQs. Furthermore, he’s an alcoholic; just watch his various speeches and you can pretty much tell how sauced he is each time. I think the level is climbing.
I’s imagine he’s having his face rubbed in the fact that he’s a “useful idiot” for the Alinsky-Obama Conspiracy, and doesn’t like that truth at all.

Take lots of vitamin C. Also chop up some fresh ginger, boil with water and make some tea using this ginger water, sweeten with honey – very tasty. An old Indian taxi driver in NY told me that is what he drinks every morning and he never gets sick. He was in his 70′s still look great. I have heard many people attest to this. I tried it all this past winter. Didn’t get sick at all.

Pretty weird site. Stopped reading in detail when I came to this howler:
“Slavery never existed in history before America was founded. Blacks were brought and sold, and did not do anything about it but beg for mercy.”
***********************************************
This is the kind of disinformation and outright fabrication the Jeremiah Wrights and Billy Ayers of the world like to push. Unbelievable.
I guess they missed the parts of the Old Testament about the Jews being enslaved by the Egyptians. Or how the Koran to this day approves of enslaving vanquished populations.
The most notorious slave trader of the 19th century was an African Muslim named Tippu Tib. He took the slavery trade to the next level. When faced with the problem of how to get elephant ivory transported from the interior of Africa to the coast, the solution was human transport. Sell the ivory and make a prifit. Sell the slaves and make a profit. It was Tippu’s work that fueled the abolitionist movement in England in the 19th century.
As for the US, slavery was indeed a black mark on the hostory of this country. But it existed here for a mere 75 years. Prior to independence, the US was divided among the Spanish, the English, the French and the Portugese, all nations that had a long history of slavery. And for the record, the US is the only country that engaged in a civil war for the abolition of slavery. Over 600,000 men lost their lives in the Civil War. That is a staggering number, especially when you consider at the time the entire population of the US was around 15 million. Many more were wounded.
The truth does not quite fit into the liberation theology theme, nor the rantings of those who contrive warped versions of the past for the purpose of replacing a democractic republic with a communist state. I have been in many parts of the world, largely thanks to an all expense paid “trip” courtesy of the US military, and I can say with all honesty that there is no more free a place in this world, nor a place where opportunities are available to all citizens. You really have to question why people want to change that. It sounds so enticing in the abstract – give up a little freedom for greater security. But, as Benjamin Franklin stated, those who would sacrifice freedom for security are deserving of neither. And those who would make that Faustian bargain would rue the day they traded freedom for the shackles of communist rule.

For blacks, the only issue is race:
Cautious joy as blacks imagine Obama win
http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20081102/ap_on_el_pr/election_black_hopes_and_fears_3;_ylt=AngmiQRBaclo1lmnytEE3Vph24cA
Lula Cooper expects the tears to flow if Barack Obama becomes the first black president. But she’s not breaking out the tissues just yet.
“I cried when I marked my ballot for him. We’ve had such an incredible journey to this point,” said the former civil rights activist, her voice quavering. “I think he’s going to win, but I really am very, very cautious.”
Like a Hollywood blockbuster whose conclusion feels assured but still sets the heart racing, the endgame of this election has gripped black America with a powerful mixture of emotions.
Obama’s potential victory represents a previously unimaginable triumph over centuries of racism. But beneath the hope and pride lies fear: of polling inaccuracy, voting chicanery, or the type of injustice and violence that have historically stymied African-American progress.
Cooper, 75, experienced the oppression of the 1950s and ’60s as she was dragged off to jail for protesting segregation in Wilmington, Del., where her husband was DuPont’s first black chemist. Now living in the Southwest, she said she experienced modern politics when her husband lost a recent bid to become their city’s first black mayor after the election was switched to mail-in ballots rather that polling-place voting.
So when it comes to Obama, Cooper is “optimistic and hopeful — but experience plays a big part.”
It’s practically all they care about and is going to destroy America.

That’s a very good point, Brian. I hadn’t thought of that. It fits.
I’d never even noticed Biden had a drinking problem till he appeared on stage at the Convention wobbling around, red-faced and slurring his speech. Seems like it was common knowledge – don’t know how I managed never to hear anything about it! Maybe he just wasn’t important enough to make the gossip columns, rag sheets, etc. Kind of a sad case, he is.

BO’s distribution plan as written in a local paper:
“Today on my way to lunch I passed a homeless guy with a sign that read ‘Vote Obama, I need the money.’ I laughed.
Once in the restaurant I noticed my server had on an ‘Obama 08′ tie, again I laughed as he had given away his political preference–just imagine the coincidence.
When the bill came I decided not to tip the server and explained to him that I was exploring the Obama redistribution of wealth concept. He stood there in disbelief while I told him that I was going to redistribute his tip to someone who I deemed more in need–the homeless guy outside. The server angrily stormed from my sight.
I went outside, gave the homeless guy $10 and told him to thank the server inside as I’ve decided he could use the money more. The homeless guy was grateful.
At the end of my rather unscientific redistribution experiment I realized the homeless guy was grateful for the money he did not earn, but the waiter was pretty angry that I gave away the money he did earn even though the actual recipient ‘deserved’ money more.
I guess redistribution of wealth is an easier thing to swallow in concept than in practical application.”

Good evening PUMAs,
So, I contributed to Hillary in the primaries, and of course the only thing I’ve donated to Nobama is Nomoney. I just received one of the several-daily-begging-for-money emails from Oblahblah. This one is different.
“When you look back on Election Day years from now, you’ll tell your friends and family that this was the moment you helped make history.
You could also have a story to share about how you were right in the middle of it at the big Election Night event in Chicago.
You could be one of 5 first-time donors to go backstage … ”
FIRST TIME DONORS? Donna Brazil spoke the truth when she said they keep lists. And they need lists. Where else can they hide the generosity of impermissible donors?
This is scary stuff. Data-mining like this is nothing compared to what will happen if That One takes over.

email received from a friend regarding redistribution of wealth (my last long post for the night)
“Dear Fellow Business Owners,
As a business owner who employs 30 people, I have resigned myself to the fact that Barack Obama will be our next president, and that my taxes and fees will go up in a BIG way.
To compensate for these increases, I figure that the Customer will have to see an increase in my fees to them of about 8 to 10%. I will also have to lay off six of my employees. This really bothered me as I believe we are family here and didn’t know how to choose who will have to go. So, this is what I did.
I strolled thru the parking lot and found eight Obama bumper stickers on my employees’ cars. I have decided these folks will be the first to be laid off.
I can’t think of another fair way to approach this problem. If you have a better idea, let me know.
I am sending this letter to all business owners that I know.
Sincerely,
[Name and company redacted]
P. S. I don’t think there are any federal anti-discrimination laws that would apply here. Seems reasonable to me.”

Saw it – it’s great! I think one of the quotes we have posted from Prairie Fire talks about finding the cracks in society and exploiting them. To Ayers and Dohrn, this is not about racial equality – that is merely a pretense – a means to an end. And the end they seek is the destruction of the United States.
They are capitalizing on the racial tensions in our society – exploiting those “cracks” via community organizers to stir the pot. Equality will not do for them – they have to get people to believe that equal opportunity is not enough. And when equality of opportunity does not cut it, the only next step is the redistribution of existing wealth. And that method blows right by socialism with a firm foothold on the path to communism.
Part and parcel with their goals, they have to ensure that their efforts do not have the effect of benefitting those classes (the inner city poor) that they are exploiting for their ultimate goal. They have to work hard to keep that population exactly where it is. And one of the ways you achieve that is to create an entitlement mentality – providing just enough so you can point to your “progress” and to cover perhaps the most basic needs of food and shelter, but not so much that people have a chance to move up and out. Just enough to remove any incentive to achieve, and enough of a taste to whet the appetite for the bonanza of redistribution. Keep them uneducated – replace instruction in the three “R”‘s with indoctrination on liberation and socialism, thereby preventing any escape from poverty.
It is an approach that sells false hope. And maintains the tension of poverty and racial divide by promoting segregation from the mainstream of society (Remember Michelle Obama’s thesis, and her “concern” that assimilation will result in some loss of identity?). Keep the people down and separated from opportunity, for they will be of no use to the revolution outside of that charged space.
History is littered with examples of the ultimate failure of these schemes. For once the status quo is upset, and the wealth has been “redistributed”, there is nothing left to share. A perfect setting for the tyrant to seize control, promising more security for a trade of freedom. Look at Cuba. Look at Stalinist Russia. And remember the words of George Santayana, who warned us that those who do not learn from history are doomed to repeat it.
Do we want the likes of Bill Ayers and Bernardine Dohrn are but a breath away from the White House?

Hello everyone! Just got back from Henderson NV., went to the Rudy rally. He gave a very good speech. We met Sarah Palins brother. What a nice guy, he made a point to tell us no matter what we hear his sister is really smart. We made signs and got up front so Rudy could see them when he got off the bus. After his speech he came over shock my hand and signed by sign. My daughter and I are going to be making calls tomorrow and Monday for McCain. We left very pumped and positive!

Good evening Pumas. I wanted to let you know that somewhere between 500 and 600 of the 700 dollars that came in to The Denver Group today seems to have come from this crowd (hard to tell for sure – not everybody who donates identifies themselves as “official” Pumas). So we are well on the way to being able to make one buy of a pair of spots based on current information about rates. I’m trying to update regularly at The Denver Group/Democrats for Principe before Party website.
I’m also beginning, personally, to think hard about how we can move forward after November 4: whichever candidate wins, we have a struggle ahead of us to expand our government’s responsiveness to ordinary citizens. Of course, which party wins will have a great deal to do with specific tactics but broad strategy is what I have on my mind at the moment. For those with interest, you can read my latest piece, which does draw special attention to the tactics of Alice Paul’s National Women’s Party, at http://tdg.typepad.com/heidi_lis_potpourri/2008/11/those-who-went-to-jail-for-the-19th-amendment-selected-photographs.html
There’s also a fuller update on The Denver Group’s funds status in the sidebar at the left over there and a link to donate at the right.

I am thinking a great place to work votes for McCain/Palin would be to go to that web site that lists who donates to political parties, get a list of the Hillary donors in your neighborhood. Print out some info on BO’s theory of lower pay for working women and his other sexist remarks and then work those voters. You can see that voting switching to BO is killing them, it shouldn’t take much to push them over the edge.

Hello PUMAS
I can’t stay up for SNL, but glad to hear McCain was doing well on it.
Kathy Griffin on Larry King tonight was so negative about Sarah Palin. She put Sarah down for the names of her children and called her a “big old pile of dirt”. She was somewhat kinder to Hillary, but I am offended. I should have known better to watch that kind of show. Silly me, I won’t make that mistake again. I’m no longer watching anything on CNN.
Thank heavens for PUMA, Greta and FOX.

People Want To Know About P.U.M.A. And Obama Associates-Polls
Posted on October 31, 2008
I keep seeing post about P.U.M.A. and the one question that everyone has is how many people are in the P.U.M.A. Party? Will was on Greta the other night and she even ask. Will told her that it could be as many as 4 million people because according to the polls 20% of Hillary voters are not voting Obama.
I know not all P.U.M.A.’s will come here to vote but I thought I would put up a poll and see how many people we could find on line over the next few days.
There is another thing I keep hearing on television that makes me a bit angry. I keep hearing that Obama’s associates don’t make any difference to the voters. Well is that right? They matter to me, how about you?
Please pass the word around about these polls so we might get some Idea how many P.U.M.A. are on line and how people feel about Obama’s associates. Thanks for helping out

But I must confess that the photo of Stephanie Tubbs Jones made me miss her and the bright, smiling confident shots of Senator Clinton are such a conference to how she seems to come across now: as somebody acting out of some combination of duty and duress. I’ll be glad for her especially once Nov. 4 comes and goes and she can focus fully on her own business.

#447 ClearMtnSage: The women who have media careers advance themselves by constantly seeking approval from their male bosses. They evidently get loads of approval for degrading other women who are intelligent. This is one of the many reasons women can’t relate to the women they see on TV. There are a few exceptions, Greta, Rachael Rae, Oprah but most TV women just present a series of antics calculated to gain male approval.

What you were never intended to know in this election
A Hillary staffer comes clean Blog Posted by: Anonymous_14 Thursday, October 30, 2008 at 04:52PM CDT
After a long and careful consideration of all the implications and possible consequences of my actions today, I have decided to go through with this in the hope that our country can indeed be guided into the right direction. First, a little personal background… I am a female grad student in my 20’s, and a registered Democrat. During the primaries, I was a campaign worker for the Clinton candidacy. I believed in her and still do, staying all the way to the bitter end. And believe me, it was bitter. The snippets you’ve heard from various media outlets only grazed the surface. There was no love between the Clinton and Obama campaigns, and these feelings extended all the way to the top. Hillary was no dope though, and knew that any endorsement of Obama must appear to be a full-fledged one. She did this out of political survival. As a part of his overall effort to extend an olive branch to the Clinton camp and her supporters, Obama took on a few Hillary staff members into his campaign. I was one such worker. Though I was still bitterly loyal to Hillary, I still held out hope that he would choose her as VP. In fact, there was a consensus among us transplants that in the end, he HAD to choose her. It was the only logical choice. I also was committed to the Democratic cause and without much of a second thought, transferred my allegiance to Senator Obama. I’m going to let you in on a few secrets here, and this is not because I enjoy the gossip or the attention directed my way. I’m doing this because I doubt much of you know the true weaknesses of Obama. Another reason for my doing this is that I am lost faith in this campaign, and feel that this choice has been forced on many people in this country. Put simply, you are being manipulated. That was and is our job – to manipulate you (the electorate) and the media (we already had them months ago). Our goal is to create chaos with the other side, not hope. I’ve come to the realization (as the campaign already has) that if this comes to the issues, Barack Obama doesn’t have a chance. His only chance is to foster disorganization, chaos, despair, and a sense of inevitability among the Republicans. It has worked up until now. Joe the Plumber has put the focus on the issues again, and this scares us more than anything. Being in a position to know these things, I will rate what the Obama campaign already knows are their weak links from the most important on down. 1 – Hillary voters. Internal polling suggests that at best, we are taking 70-75% of these voters. Other estimates are as low as 60% in some areas – particularly Ohio and western PA. My biggest problem with this campaign’s strategy was the decision NOT to offer Hillary the VP slot. She was ready and able to take this on, and would have campaigned enthusiastically for it. This selection would have also brought virtually all of her supporters into the fold, and the Obama campaign knew it. Though I have no way of knowing this for certain, and I do admit that I am relying on internal gossip, Senator Obama actually went against the advice of his top advisors. They wanted him to choose her, but the only significant opposition to this within the campaign came from Barack and Michelle Obama. In short, he let personal feelings take precedence over what was the most logical thing to do. Biden, by the way, has been a disaster inside the campaign. Everyone cringes whenever he gives an interview, and he creates so many headaches as the campaign has to stay on their toes in order to disseminate information and spin whatever it was he was trying to say. 2 – Sarah Palin. Don’t believe what the media is telling you about how horrible a choice she was. Again, our internal polling suggest that though she has had a minimal impact on pulling disaffected Hillary Democrats to McCain, she has done wonders in mobilizing the base for McCain. Another thing – we were completely taken by surprise with her pick. In my capacity in the research department, I looked into the backgrounds of Leiberman, Romney, Pawlenty and Ridge, and prepared briefs. I don’t mind bragging that we had pretty good stuff on all of them. With Leiberman, the plan was to paint him as an erratic old-timer who didn’t have a clue as to what he was doing (pretty much a clone of McCain). In Romney, we had him pegged as an evil capitalist who cut jobs. Pawlenty was going to get the “Quayle treatment”, or more precisely: a pretty face, with no valid experience. Tom Ridge was going to be used to provide a direct link from McCain to Bush. As you can see, we were quite enamored of all of them. Then the unexpected happened – Sarah Palin. We had no clue as to how to handle her, and bungled it from the start. Though through our misinformation networks, we have successfully taken some of the shine off. But let there be no doubt. She remains a major obstacle. She has singlehanded solidified “soft” Republican support, mobilized the McCain ground game, and has even had some appeal to independents and Hillary voters. This is what our internal polling confirms. 3 – Obama’s radical connections. Standards operating procedure has been to cry “racism” whenever one of these has been brought up. We even have a detailed strategy ready to go should McCain ever bring Rev. Wright up. Though by themselves they are of minimal worth, taken together, Rev. Wright, Bill Ayers, Father Pfelger, and now, Rashid Khalili, are exactly what the campaign does not need. The more focus on them, the more this election becomes a referendum on Obama. The campaign strategy from the very beginning was to make this election a referendum on Bush. Strategists have been banging their head on how successfully McCain has distanced himself from Bush. This has worked, and right now the tide is in his favor. People are taking a new look at Barack Obama, and our experience when this happens tells us this is not good news at all. When they take a look at him, one or more of these names are bound to be brought up. McCain has wisely not harped on this in recent weeks and let voters decide for themselves. This was a trap we set for him, and he never fully took the bait. Senator Obama openly dared him to bring up Ayers. This was not due to machismo on the part of Obama, but actually due to campaign strategy. Though McCain’s reference to Ayers fell flat in the last debate, people in the Obama campaign were actually disappointed that he didn’t follow through on it more and getting into it. Our focus groups found this out: When McCain brings these connections up, voters are turned off to him. They’d rather take this into consideration themselves, and when this happens, our numbers begin to tank. 4 – The Bradley Effect. Don’t believe these polls for a second. I just went over our numbers and found that we have next to no chance in the following states: Missouri, Indiana, North Carolina, Florida, New Hampshire and Nevada. Ohio leans heavily to McCain, but is too close to call it for him. Virginia, Pennsylvania, Colorado, New Mexico and Iowa are the true “toss up states”. The only two of these the campaign feels “confident” in are Iowa and New Mexico. The reason for such polling discrepancy is the Bradley Effect, and this is a subject of much discussion in the campaign. In general, we tend to take a -10 point percentage in allowing for this, and are not comfortable until the polls give us a spread well over this mark. This is why we are still campaigning in Virginia and Pennsylvania! This is why Ohio is such a desperate hope for us! What truly bothers this campaign is the fact that some pollsters get up to an 80% “refuse to respond” result. You can’t possibly include these into the polls. The truth is, people are afraid to let people know who they are voting for. The vast majority of these respondents are McCain supporters. Obama is the “hip” choice, and we all know it. As part of my research duties, I scour right wing blogs and websites to get somewhat of a “feel” as to what is being talked about on the other side. Much of it is nonsense, but there are some exceptions which give the campaign jitters. A spirited campaign has been made to infiltrate many pro-Hillary sites and discredit them. A more disorganized, but genuine effort has also been made to sow doubts among the unapologetically right wing sites such as redstate.com. Don’t you guys get it? This has been the Obama campaign’s sole strategy from the very beginning! The only way he wins is over a dispirited, disorganized, and demobilized opposition. This is how it has been for all of his campaigns. What surprises me is that everyone has fallen for it. You may point to the polls as proof of the inevitability of all of this. If so, you have fallen for the oldest trick in the book. How did we skew these polls, you might ask? It all starts with the media “buzz” which has been generated over the campaign. Many stories are generated on the powerful Obama ground game, and how many new voters were registered. None of this happens by coincidence. It is all part of the poll-skewing process. This makes pollsters change their mixes to reflect these new voters and tilt the mix more towards Democratic voters. What is not mentioned or reported on is not the “under-reported cell phone users or young voters” we hear so much about. What is underreported is you. I changed my somewhat positive opinion of this campaign during the unfair and sexist campaign against Sarah Palin. I will never agree with her on the issues and will probably never vote for her, but I am embarrassed of what has happened. I can’t ignore our own hand in all of this. What I do know is that I will not be voting for Obama this time around. Treat that as you will. This isn’t about race This isn’t about black or white This is about TRUTH The American people deserve the truth…it is their lives

murphy 11.02.08 at 12:36 am
terry d0 #81 — very true.
think of this. McCain and Hillary are friends. That’s obvious. So are Bill and McCain.
If Obama wins does anyone honestly believe there will be official impetus to investigate the caucus fraud or, more importantly, the illegal campaign contributions?
Dont you think that if McCain wins there WILL be such an official impetus to do those investigations? (and investigating Obama was BY FAR the winning answer in yesterdays Puma PAC poll asking what should be our top priority on Nov 5th)
For at least 2 reasons.
1. The investigations would either hinder, hobble, or outright kill an Obama 2012 run (an unambiguously GOOD thing for the repubs)
2. If, as we expect, the Pumas will be a deciding factor in McCain’s win then he will OWE us.
3. I think McCain is a true friend of the Clintons AND of fair play would relish the opportunity to run down the corruption that has powered the Obama Movement.
that’s why I say a vote for McCain really IS a vote for Hillary.

SEND THIS ONE AROUND!
Comrade Obama?
http://www.humanevents.com/article.php?id=29302 ^ | 10/31/2008 | Patrick Buchanan
If Barack Obama is not a socialist, he does the best imitation of one I’ve ever seen.
Under his tax plan, the top 5 percent of wage-earners have their income tax rates raised from 35 percent to 40 percent, while the bottom 40 percent of all wage-earners, who pay no income tax, are sent federal checks.
If this is not the socialist redistribution of wealth, what is it?
A steeply graduated income tax has always been the preferred weapon of the left for bringing about socialist equality. Indeed, in the “Communist Manifesto” of 1848, Karl Marx was himself among the first to call for “a heavy progressive or graduated income tax.”
The Obama tax plan is pure Robin Hood class warfare: Use the tax power of the state to rob the successful and reward the faithful. Only in Sherwood Forest it was assumed the Sheriff of Nottingham and his crowd had garnered their wealth by other than honest labor. “Spread the wealth,” Barack admonished Joe the Plumber.
“From each according to his ability, to each according to his need,” said old Karl in 1875. When Barbara West of WFTV in Orlando, Fla., put the Marx quote to Biden, however, Joe recoiled in spluttering disbelief.
West: “You may recognize this famous quote: ‘From each according to his abilities, to each according to his needs.’ That’s from Karl Marx. How is Sen. Obama not being a Marxist if he intends to spread the wealth around?”
Biden: “Are you joking? Is this a joke?”
Biden’s better defense, however, might have be the “Tu quoque!” retort: “You, too!” — the time-honored counter-charge of hypocrisy.
Indeed, how do Republicans who call Obama a socialist explain their support for Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, food stamps, welfare and the Earned Income Tax Credit? What are these if not government-mandated transfers of wealth to the middle and working class, and the indigent and working poor?
Since August, the Bush-Paulson team has seized our biggest S&L, Washington Mutual, and largest insurance company, AIG. It has nationalized Fannie and Freddie, pumped scores of billions into our banks, bailed out GM, Ford and Chrysler, and paid the $29 billion dowry for Bear Stearns to enter its shotgun marriage with JPMorgan Chase.
And with federal, state and local taxes taking a third of gross domestic product, and government regulating businesses with wage-and-hour laws, civil rights laws, environmental laws, and occupational health and safety laws, what are we living under, if not a mixed socialist-capitalist system?
Norman Thomas is said to have quit running for president on the Socialist ticket after six campaigns because the Democratic Party had stolen all his ideas and written them into its platforms.
Did Ike repeal the New Deal? Did Richard Nixon roll back the Great Society? Nope. He funded the Great Society. Did Ronald Reagan cut federal spending? Nope, defense spending soared. Bill Clinton slashed defense, but George Bush II set social spending records with No Child Left Behind and prescription drug benefits for the elderly under Medicare. Surpluses vanished, deficits returned, the national debt almost doubled.
Is the old republic then dead and gone, in the irretrievable past? Are we engaged in an argument settled before we were born?
In his 1938 essay “The Revolution Was,” Garet Garrett wrote:
“There are those who think they are holding the pass against a revolution that may be coming up the road. But they are gazing in the wrong direction. The revolution is behind them. It went by in the Night of the Depression, singing songs to freedom.”
Nevertheless, there is a difference not just of degree but of kind between unemployment compensation for jobless workers, welfare for destitute families, and confiscating the income of taxpayers who earned it — to hand out to chronic tax consumers who did not.
This last is the socialism Winston Churchill called “the philosophy of envy and gospel of greed.” And it is this suggestion of socialist ideology in Obama’s words that has produced the belated pause by a nation that seemed to be moving into his camp. What did Barack say in 2001?
He spoke of the inadequacy of the courts as institutions to bring about “redistributive change” in society, of the “tragedy” of the civil rights movement in losing sight of the “political and organizing activities on the ground that are able to bring about the coalitions of power through which you bring about redistributive change.”
Normal people don’t talk like that. Socialists do.
This is ideology speaking. This is the redistributionist drivel one hears from cosseted college radicals and the “Marxist professors” Obama says in his memoir he sought out at the university. It is the language of social parasites like William Ayers, Bernardine Dohrn and Father Pfleger.
Enforced egalitarianism entails the death of excellence. For it seizes the rewards that excellence earns and turns them over to politicians and bureaucrats for distribution to the mediocrities upon whose votes they depend. One need not be Ayn Rand to see that Barack has picked up from past associates utopian notions that have ever produced nightmare states.

Imagine what we can accomplish in a year or two or three or four, unfettered by the emotional roller coaster, the wear and tear, exhaustion, lack of funds, the frantic scramble to develop and coalesce as a movement, Our foundation is in placem, our venues and allies are in place and thriving.
On Nov 5 we should allow ourselves a four hour break and then reconvene and move forward.

Hello.
NewOrleansPuma, #253: No offense intended, but perhaps you should lay off the hooch for it is affecting your logic. Everyone knows the New Orleans police dept. went AWOL during Katrina, pretty much. The few NO cops who bothered to work hooked up with dumbassBlanco’s state police to confiscate guns from law-abiding citizenry so that the looters could wreak havoc after the storm. So I guess your perspective on this is rather skewed or jaded.
And furthermore, President BJ Clinton also had standing orders to declare martial law in the event of post-election civil unrest. Go look it up, if you have the stones or the inclination.
And lastly, I have participated in counter-protests in various cities in Ohio and I assure our public servants, the police appreciate counter-protesters. Because we are behind them or next to them. We carry funny signs which make them laugh. We sing songs which strengthen their resolve against those who seek to overthrow our long-established government–local, county, state and federal.
This ain’t France.
No surrender. You’re Americans.

Native Americans against Obama
http://www.nativeamericansagainstobama.com/
—————————————
A VOTE FOR OBAMA IS A VOTE FOR
“NO REAL CHANGE”
Missing in action votes:
Obama has been missing in action on all these Native American bills.
Senate Bill S 1779- Title
This is a bill to establish a program for tribal colleges and universities within the Depart. of Health and Human Services. And to amend the Native American Programs Act of 1974 to authorize the grants and cooperative agreements to tribal colleges and universities, and other purposes.
S.1859-Title
A bill for making approrations for agriculture, rural devleopment, food and drug administration and related agencies for the fiscal year ending Sept. 30, 2008, and other purposes.
S. 2363-Title
A bill making appropreations for military construction, the Dept. of Veterans Affairs, and related agencies for the fiscal year, ending Sept. 30, 2008.
S.310-Title
A bill to express the policy of the United States, regarding the relationship with Native Hawaiians, and to provide a process for the recognition, by the United States of the Native Hawaiiain governing entity.
S.2176-Title
A Bill to promote the development of Native American small business concerns, and other purposes.
S.2062-Title
A bill to amend the Native American Housing Assistance and Self Determination Act of 1996, to reauthorize the act, and other purposes.
S. RES 400-Title
A resolution to designate Friday, November 23, 2007, as “Native American Heritage Day”. In honor of the achievements and contributions Of Native Americans to the United States.
Senator Obama, did not show up, to even cast a vote for any of these Native American Issues. How much does he really care? Only enough to get your vote, thats all.
So, you have to ask yourself, ‘What Change?”

After you read this, tell me what do you think of Joe Biden. He’s a crook like NObama. Birds of the same feather flock together.
====
Family,
I feel an obligation to honesty and truth to share with you some facts. My Father and Mother instilled in me the values and morals of treating people fairly and always being honest. If you purchase something, you pay for it. If you borrow something, you give it back.
I have been “stiffed” three times in my 30 year professional career by someone who I rendered services to, gave a finished product to, but who refused to pay for those services even though they acknowledged the services and products were correct, were what they asked for, and were never challenged for not being correct. I am lucky in having only three, but those three hurt badly.
Joe Biden was one of those people. I worked on his 1988 Presidential campaign financial disclosure engagement. I busted it for him and got everything right. He stiffed me for over $15,000 worth of work. He refused to pay once he dropped out of the race. I did similar Capitol Hill campaign financial disclosure work for Bob Dole, Pat Buchanan, and a Democratic candidate for Ambassador to New Zealand . All of those folks paid even though they lost the election or did not get the appointment. That type of work is very demanding and very tedious because your efforts are scrutinized by Congress. Biden did not care.
I am on the Board of Directors of a company that owns a majority position in a private jet management company in Northern Virginia . They manage jets for businesses and rich folks. They also charter planes to the public. This past winter John Thompson chartered over $250,000 worth of air time. He paid every penny.
Joe Biden, in his latest unsuccessful run for President, chartered over $150,000 worth of air time. He PAID ZERO. He continues to refuse to pay stating his race is over and he is out of money. He never once complained about his flights. Joe Biden is a rich man. He could pay.
Joe Biden is a liar and a cheat. I know it first hand. Character is what life is all about. Joe Biden is a man of bad character and sets a bad example for America .
I feel compelled to share this dark side of a man who asks for your vote and trust.

Um….I just watched that Obama youth brigade youtube. I hate to say it but I’ve seen youth brigades in uniform and formations before.
Islamic. Urban kids. Fine. I’ve been raked over the coals on other PUMA sites for speaking up, but if that’s a religion of peace, why the military training and formations? I’m talking about in Boston. American urban youth. All male. In uniform. Both on the street in urban centers and once they came to “demonstrate” their drills at a performance site I used to frequent.
It was frightening. Yes, structure is good for kids, but kids are also most susceptible to cults. I mean the Obama Cult.

Don’t trust the polls. PUMA report from PA:
I worked for the McCain campaign last week and over the weekend in the downtown Philly office. We started calling on Dems in Philly and were stunned at our results. Of those we spoke with, I was getting 30-40% supporting McCain, my friend was getting 20-30% support. And this is Philly!! If you are scared, frustrated, or angry about the horse shit in this election, go volunteer at your local McCain/Palin office.

“perhaps you should lay off the hooch for it is affecting your logic.” ….
“So I guess your perspective on this is rather skewed or jaded.” ….
“if you have the stones or the inclination.” …

Asian – It would be amazing that between Obama and Biden, if there is an ounce of honor between them. I can’t fathom why people with little integrity like them get to be where they are. What is wrong with our society ? What is wrong with the people that put them there ? What is wrong with the people that continue to want them in such positions of power and continue to empower them?

#553 gumbykat, talk about synchronicity! just got back on & scrolling down & spotted your post. Yes, I had read about some of those things a month or two ago while reading up on Obama & Native Americans. There are some very BIG native american tribes on the west coast who were HUGE Hillary supporters. No idea how they are going to be voting.

Yup, there was a whole lotta noise about it for a couple of hours the day it first came out, and then it hit the newsroom floor with a big thud. Nothing sticks to Oteflonman and his legions of zombie followers!

sunshine, murphy;
I checked out that heroesforhillary article, and tried to comment. No joy. And there are zero comments on any of the articles; the Comment function there is busted. And no email add’y is given. So I guessed at lynn@heroesforhillary.com and sent a notice to her. (No rejection/bounce yet, but we’ll see). If anyone is in contact, please let her know about the problem.

what has happened to the big Dog? has he lost all of his self-respect? How could he campaign for someone like this who believes his own constituents are racist??

Dances – We are not voting for Obama – that should qualify us as racists in his books so we may be flouting the blog rules. I for one am harboring a lot of racist thoughts and feelings lately – lets be honest about it but I am speaking for myself.

The Dayton Daily News reports that Miami County election officials are trying to figure out how 70 unsigned, but otherwise voted, absentee ballots were returned to the board of elections:
Miami County election officials Friday, Oct. 31, asked prosecutors and the sheriff’s office to investigate suspected voter fraud involving at least 70 absentee ballots.
Elections Director Steve Quillen said elections staff began asking questions about absentee ballots previously set aside when several voters complained they had not received their ballots. The ballots were set aside because their envelopes were not signed by the recipients.
These were requested absentee ballots that never made it to their voters but were returned anyways. Quillen notes that they all went out through the same post office:
Quillen said absentee ballots are left at the Troy post office, where officials said they then go to Dayton for processing and return to the county for delivery.

I meant no insult towards NOP but there was discussion of locally produced rum somewhere in the thread by NOP and others and that’s where my comment about hooch came from. My sincere apologies to NOP.
But the facts are the facts regarding BJ Clinton and his executive order for martial law and regarding Blanco’s state police gun-grab and Nagin’s corrupt/AWOL police paving the way for looters after Katrina hit.

The thing that make me so angry about the brain washing of the children is that they are hardwired to believe adults in authority over them are telling the truth and have the children’s best interest at heart. What is programmed into them at this impressionable time is what will stick with them and shape their values as an adult. So if we defeat this Olyingcrook this time around (AND I BELIEVE WE WILL) we will have to deal with his cr*p for at the very least another generation to come. This is where Ayers and company had the insight to take their fight from violence in the city streets, to the education system. It may take a little longer to infiltrate from within but it is more thorough and harder to counter, because we never see it coming until it’s too late.

murphy 11.02.08 at 2:31 am
OH! I had an election dream the other night and realized it was a recurring one. I hadnt remembered it until I had it on Thursday.
We had to go to Washington to make sure everything was going to be okay with the election. Mama and Skipper were with me but I didnt know Mama was with me until I got there. But Washington DC was in Europe, Italy actually, and everyone in DC was Italian. Very nice and handsome and pretty But I was a bit disconcerted that Washington DC had moved to a country full of Europeans. We received a tip that there was some important information outside the city that would affect the election so Skipper and I left the hotel to find out. On the way there I noticed that bumble bees were covering both of my forearms. In the taxicab I tried to cover my arms so Skipper wouldnt see all the bees swarming on them. I knew they were probably significant somehow but we had work to do and I didnt want her to be scared. We got to the house and it was a very dangerous place. The people in charge put us in the basement which was very empty and dark with stone walls and a secret room where people were talking and I knew they were talking to the ones who were REALLY in charge but we had seen the stairway up on the way down in the back of the cellar. The people in charge didnt know that I had been in cellars like this before and knew where the back door was. They didnt really know what people like us know.
So we got to the back door and sneaked out and were friendly to the killers on the street who were on the lookout for strangers and outsiders, but I wasnt an outsider and for a moment I tricked them long enough to call us a taxi. The taxi came and it was a motorbike with a young guy driving so I put Skipper on the back and asked the driver to drive slow, which he did. I said take us to the holiday inn where we are staying and he said no problem and took us there, except he took a short cut. He drove down a side street behind the hotel and told us there was a festival in the city that day to celebrate the election (it was the new day now — Election Day — we had been in the cellar all night) and we would be better off to get to the hotel through the park as all the streets were closed.
The park was beautiful — a hilly, grassy green and warm sunshiney place full of happy people who were glad to be there. Skipper and I fit right in. We were lovely and blonde and holding hands — a tallish nice person with her shorter big-blue-eyed girl. There was something menacing about the farther hill. We saw the hotel across the little valley and were heading there assuming that everyone around us was just a little less intent then us. Perhaps they were more in tune. Maybe they were right — everything would be okay. We were hungry so we sat down to eat. The food was good if a little predictable — flatbread and honey.
the honey made me look across into the trees and see they were full of bees.
I looked down on the grass and there was a border, a bright clear border of bees — buzzing swarming furiously in their individually tiny way — a WARNING — there was a river, invisible to everyone else, of bees, yellow-green and swarming.I looked around and saw that only I had seen it. I looked in the trees and realized that the trees were full of bees.
I saw it and looked around to see how everyone could be so happy and blind in their party not to see the bees which were under the feet and in the trees and surrounding them like jackets. but they didnt and I looked down on skipper who was hungry like me and was eating a peanutbutter sandwich and I said to her, I squeezed her hand which was our signal, I said watch out, listen to me, be careful, it is not safe here but no one knows — I didn’t tell her about the bees because I didnt want her to be scared. But there were breaks in the river of bees, like stones or a bend in the river — places where you could get across if you paid attention and timed it right. but the bees were expectiing something like this so only the first two or three would be able to pass.
The bees were waiting. They knew we would be coming but they didnt know exactly when or where. And I, being the only one who could talk to them, asked if they would let us pass.
And they said Yes, BUT.
And I knew it would have to be Skipper and me, we first put one toe out just a quick one to place and name ourselves but then we realized that the bee queen was not as much in charge as she wanted to be — and we ran — knowing about that BUT and looking back we saw everyone else waking up and realizing they were surrounded. We ran from the bees stepping lightly and high up and up and up like leprechauns or some other beings looking down behind us. up and up and up to mama inside the foolish door of the hotel. but we made it to the door and we opened it and there was Mama wondering where we had been and why we had left in the first place. We couldn’t explain.
and good people that they mostly were they fought the bees and wondered why such a lovely day had gone so wrong,
and i looked down on the swarming death and was ashamed.
people died that day in my dream and I was not among them.
murphy 11.02.08 at 2:35 am
until we got back to the hotel and then my arms, which had been loaded by bees from the beginning, swolled up like balloons and I looked at them and Mama and Skipper and told them I was glad that we had gotten this far and I died.
which is weird because usually you dont die in your own dream. but i always do.

BTW for anyone keeping up with it, the terrible events that impacted our family exactly a week ago tonight, are ongoing but seem to be manageable for the time being. So as long as the urgency has died down, I will do all I can in these last few days. Thanks again for all the support.

In addition to the amounts paid in income tax by those earning over 200k, I wonder what % of all charitable contributions also come from the same demographic. Increased taxes might very well reduce the monies given. I guy on fox earlier today said his account ran the numbers and said the McCain plan would save him 400k and the obama gift bag would cost him 2 million. Forget which show.

I’ve recommended to others here before that they pick up ThornSoft’s ClipMate package. It automatically saves all copied items (links, text, images, etc.) You can elect to save items for a limited time or forever.
Used it for years, and couldn’t and wouldn’t compute or surf without it!!

Libby 11.02.08 at 4:20 am
I know a majority of PUMA’s would like to clean out the Dem party and rebuild it but I am hoping that this election will lead to a total American Clean Out.
Wash out the Dem’s and bring on the PUMA party.
CBS, NBC, MSNBC and CNN go broke.
New writers, new commentators, new program directors, new party platforms, new people running the country that are NOT those who backed OBAMA.
Obama had Google behind him. We need a different search engine as our go to search engine. I got sick the last few months having google rename the Pumas blogs with nasty names they chose on my hits list.
I am 60 years old and have been watching the same guys on television most of my life. I’m okay with that until they all went over the edge for Obama. If I am 60 and can see what is wrong here, why can’t the professionals????
How did the “kids” at SNL actually do a favor for John McCain in their last show when the “News” anchors were doing a total spin on the news.
SNL actually came closer to Fox’s even coverage than did CBS, NBC, MSNBC, and CNN. How does that happen unless the entire newsocracy is totally unbalanced, when a comedy show turns out more balanced than all of the major networks news shows?
Time to not only clean up the Democrat party, this country needs to replace the news aristocracy that is not even aware enough to know when they are all being hoodwinked into placing the Trojan Horse of the old Weather Underground leaders/criminals into power. Obama is nothing more than the puppet of the Ayers family who are trying desperately to convince the U.S. that Bill and Bernadine were good guys who saw the truth and have real understanding about how the world should be one big socialist country under them.
They just don’t want us to know that right now. But as soon as Nov 4th is over then Obama’s step aunt can talk, and maybe Obama’s Grandma can talk, and maybe Bill Ayers can talk, and then all of the others who have kept quiet can talk. The rappers who shut down after Obama hushed them after the “bitch Hillary” rap came out, say they can talk after Nov 4th also. Rev. Wright who said that Obama didn’t change, he just had to say different because he is a politician will be back out from under the bus. Rezko will be out of jail and Farikan will be gathering the troops for Obama.
Better to just cut out Obama and everyone who has backed him without thinking what this would mean for America, or who does know what it will mean for America and thinks Obama would be just as good for this country as Hitler was for Germany.
If you don’t learn from history, you will damn well keep repeating it until you get it right.
Libby 11.02.08 at 4:55 am
My friend, who lately thought I was not voting like an intelligent woman if I voted for McCain, is now encouraging me to write in a vote.
My response was that my vote counts too much to throw it away. She responded back, that it would count as a throw back to my governor that he had not represented my wishes that Hillary should have been given all of the NJ delegates at the DNC.
Hillary won NJ and Gov Corzine gave away every delegate to Obama. I cannot forgive that.
My response: I WANT MY VOTE TO COUNT. I’m not sending a little message to my governor. I will take that to the polls when he is up for election. I WILL vote for McCain because it is the only vote that will ensure that Obama loses. Nothing else will do that. I WANT OBAMA to LOSE. I don’t know why people want to encourage me or anyone else to throw away their vote but the fact that she would send four emails encouraging me to throw away my vote is discouraging. Maybe she thinks it will help her candidate, Obama, or maybe she wants to save me from voting for McCain.
But it does not send a message that she thinks I know what I am doing. Well, I don’t think those who vote for Obama know what they are doing. They have all sucked into the “Change” “Hope” thing, do not listen to what he says, have no clue that he has zigzagged all over the issues from where he started and how can they have believed what he said a year ago when he says something different today.
They don’t care! They have become like him. Whatever it takes is okay as long as Obama is in. THAT is crazy. Really crazy. The koolade stuff is not an urban legend. Intelligent people are drinking it and cannot see beyond their noses. If they could, they wouldn’t let that glass get so close to their mouths.
I want to and will vote for McCain because I really believe that the consequences of not doing that will be detrimental to our country.
Throwing away my vote is like telling my kids that I could care less what the future holds for them.
Can’t do it. McCain/Palin in 2008.
Woodie 11.02.08 at 9:58 am
Obama followers have been brainwashed. A sign of brainwashing is their reaction. If you say anything against Obama they flip out…It’s like being hypnotized in as much some can be very easily and some not at all.
Also with brainwashing key words ilicit responsive behaviour and they become defensive and nasty which you all have experienced when you even make mention of voting for anyone else. They close down immediately as well.
I read a 67 pg. article with regard to how they explained that when Obama was doing his speeches he used pauses in his speech, and he used his hands. Closed his index and thumb at certain points, using key phrases over and over again. It was quite interesting.
Watch him next time and you’ll see what I mean. You can google the article I’m sure you can find it.
