The experts say we don’t exist. That we’re either not really Democrats or there are only 25 of us — a few crazy sock-puppets gibbering conspiracy theories at each other in a virtual echo chamber. Hmmm. We’ll see.
THIS is one of my FAVORITE threads, from WAY back on June 8th, 2008. Over 700 heartfelt reasons Pumas would be Protesting the 2008 Election. Go back and read it — especially the comments. You’ll meet names you don’t know and many who are still blogging away with us today, so many LONG weeks and months later.
Tomorrow is OUR day.
In comments tonight, let’s remind each other WHY we are doing what we are doing. What state are you in? Have you decided who will vote for? Tell us why. What are your hopes and goals for Puma PAC after tomorrow?
TURN OFF THE TV. It is full of lies and demoralizing, manipulative SPIN. Stay here; go to sites on the blogroll; and KEEP blogging. Tonight’s going to be a long night and tomorrow night’s going to be even longer. Let’s get through it together, because you know what we say,
We’re either all in this together or we’re all outside alone.
Be wonderful to each other.

Don’t forget to vote in the poll in the left sidebar!

It’s about choices. Here’s that Rush caller again:

Re-posted from downstairs:
Hi fellow PUMA’s. I saw my nose surgeon today. He said that I have a slight bruise on the outside part of my left nostril and a big bruise in my throat (from the tube that went in). He said the 100 degree fever is normal and so is the sinus headache. He cleaned all the surgery gunk etc out so it’s supposed to be “clean” now, LOL.
I missed everything that happened today with one exception. I did see where BO did his little trick (like he did with Hillary) of giving “the finger”. You talk about childish. You just don’t DO that in public to people who deserve respect. You SAY “respect” them, and then you “show” lack of respect. Once again, your words are one thing and your action is totally different. Your action is that of an irresponsible child who throws a spunk on the floor when he doesn’t get his way.
One more thing here. A negative note: Mom and I, after the dr appointment, went out to eat lunch and ran into a couple senior ladies she knew. Both of them asked if we had voted and mom assured them that we had voted absentee and voted for McCain. They got all upset and said that voting for McCain was taking away their social security!!! That really riled me. This is the exact same thing that Gore said and Kerry said.. did Bush take away their social security? NO, and he never said he would take away the s.s. from those who over age 50, and neither did McCain. However, this is the exact same line that seems to be used every election year against whatever repub is running. You’d think that having a repub in office 8 years, no matter how much they dislike him, would have at least proven THAT old myth to be false, but NO- it’s trotted out again, and once again the seniors are believing it! Mom told these ladies how bad Obama is, and they said “well he certainly can’t be as bas as the one we have now!” Talk about brainwashed! It left me really depressed to only talk to 2 people at the table, and both of them seniors who believed the garbage that Obama fed them.
…and a positive note. I just put a new member in my eye disease support group who lives in OH. I mentioned “the audio” to her and she didn’t know anything about it, so I suggested she go to Drudge or FoxNews and play it for everyone she knew. She is voting for McCain, and was doing so before I had called about her application to our eye group.

Murphy #659 Repost from downstairs
I type so slow that my comments are very brief and sometimes I don’t really say what I’m trying to say which was
‘cry for the Red sox’ made me laugh and then think boy, that Murphy is sly. I wasn’t offended at all. I appreciated the humor.

The Appleton Post Crescent (THE newspaper for the Fox Valley area of cities in Wisconsin) had an article today that the GOP in Appleton is giving free lunch tomorrow to all voters who want it:

Are there any Spanish speaking Pumas here – I want to blog on all the Spanish Speaking Newspapers in swing States but don’t know how to say the following:
Please do not vote for Sen Obama – I need my job and YOU need electricity
Hidden Audio: Obama Tells SF Chronicle He Will Bankrupt Coal
Industry : http://newsbusters.org/blogs/p-j-gladnick/2008/11/02/hidden-audio-obama-tells-sf-chronicle-he-will-bankrupt-coal-industry
——————-
I just now have had a chance to log in a catch up.
Para ustedes que creen que un voto para Obama ayudaría en mejorar sus vidas, pido que consideren lo que ha dicho sobre la industria del carbón (ver vínculo). Obama ha prometido que la política de su administración llevaría esta industria a la quiebra (causando que los costes de la energía en general subirían mucho). Consideren las implicaciones y, por favor, que no le apoyen en eso–a mí, me costaría el trabajo y para todos nosotros, nos subiría los precios de la electricidad.
Obama Cuenta el SF Chronicle que Llevará la Industria del Carbón a la Quiebra: http://newsbusters.org/blogs/p-j-gladnick/2008/11/02/hidden-audio-obama-tells-sf-chronicle-he-will-bankrupt-coal-industry
TRANSLATION:
For those of you who believe that a vote for Obama would improve your lives, please consider his statement about the coal industry (see link). Obama has promised that his administration would bankrupt this industry (causing electricity prices to increase greatly). Consider the implications and please do not support him in this–it would cost me my job, and would raise the cost of electricity for all of us.
BillieJo 11.03.08 at 6:07 pm
Hard-core republicans may stay at home and end up giving obie the Whitehouse!!!!! They can’t be replaced by PUMAs. PUMAs can only tip the scales.
Better tell Rush, and the other Republicans to yell to the base of their party to get their butts out to the flippin’ poles!
I am mad at the Republican base that may let Obama win!!!!!!!!!!

I’m still in this fight because Hillary Clinton’s candidacy changed my life. I’m still in this fight because Sheila Jackson Lee and Dolores Huerta spent a few hours with me and changed my life. I’m still in this fight because I have met (both in person and online) everyday, hardworking Americans like myself who have changed my life with their dedication to Hillary and to democracy. I’m still in this fight because I believe that good will prevail. I’m still in this fight because we have formed a strong community that will carry on this work. I’m still in this fight because I love my country. I’m still in this fight because I will NEVER forget. I’m still in this fight because of leaders like murphy, riverdaughter, Lady Lynn, and Lynette Long.
I voted early here in TX last weekend…for McCain/Palin. I have known I would vote for McCain since June 7. There was never even a fleeting thought of anything else.

REPOST OF IDEAS OF WHERE TO GO FROM HERE AFTER ELECTION DAY:
—————————————————–
Don’t continue business as usual. Take this time to reflect, re-evaluate and reorganize.
Don’t form a new political party. They don’t gain enough strength to become truly viable.
Leaders of main PUMA orgs meet to discuss consolidation to form a single org.
Pull in high profile names like Lynette Long, Lynn de Rothschild, etc.
Create organizational structure/board of directors.
Create a budget and determine how to meet funding needs.
Make sure you have key professionals involved (lawyer, accountant, etc)
Consult with MBA-type if helpful to create a sort of business plan.
Determine if org will primarily be top-down or bottom-up.
Determine priorities, goals, timelines and strategies to achieve goals.
Create committees to do research to support goals, including voter fraud, sexism, down ticket candidates and races, etc.
Some ideas re: goals and strategies:
If Obama is elected, continue to expose him; make sure his term is only one.
Continue to advance women’s rights and fight sexism in the media and in politics.
Focus on mid-term elections.
Collect contact info for sympathetic journalists and media outlets, broken down into 2 categories: mainstream media and non-mainstream media. These contacts will be crucial in an environment where most of the media cannot be counted on to listen or care.
freddiebrown 11.03.08 at 6:11 pm

IF some idiot Repubs are the cause of an Oblahma win I’m going to have a HUGE freaking coonass fit! I don’t personally know anyone doing that … but I will be really pissed if Oblahma wins due to some f*cktard Repub that can’t get off their ass to stop someone who is so dangerous for our country.
___________________________
I know a few people that are staying home tomorrow. I am doing my best to drag them to vote. They are hard-core repub. they don’t like McCain becuase is to far to the center for them. I keep telling it could be worse.

TWO DITTOS AND I’M BACK TO CALLS:
I am mad at the Republican base that may let Obama win!!!!!!!!!!
Love that cat pictograph.
KarenWI 11.03.08 at 6:13 pm
Well everybody… but this time tomorrow evening we should be starting to get our first results… and in 36 hours we’ll know…. the work is done, now it’s time to sit back and see what the “fruit of our labors” is…. and- Lord willing- it’s NOT O-Stupido as POTUS! Throw up a prayer tonight and do it again tomorrow… light a candle tonight and again tomorrow. Get the GOOD spirits out and the keep the evil spirits from wreaking havoc on this election! (that can be taken any way you want to take it)….
Say this three times out loud with conviction right now:
President McCain and Vice President Palin!!!!
Anna7000 11.03.08 at 6:14 pm
ONE MORE DITTO (Several PUMAs have posted their desire for this to be over already, which I get, but at the same time, once it’s over, if BO wins, it’s the end of working toward his defeat, at least this time around…Freddie, you captured what’s been in my heart perfectly.)
Can’t wait till tomorrow but at the same time, I don’t want it to come.

Even though #616 PaddyO is a kool-aid drinking Obot, he’s correct about the Grandmother comments.
Come on y’all, we need to focus on the credible information that we know is true … PLEASE stay away from posting far out comments about her death and the timing. It makes us look disparate and loony.
BigCatLover 11.03.08 at 6:18 pm
Pumas, I don’t expect this to be over tomorrow whoever wins. There will be court battles and media generated bombs thrown. Should be lots more work to do, especially if it is very, very close.

Hi Puma family,
I have not posted for awhile but I have been here every day. Tomorrow, for the first time in my life I will vote republican. I have mixed feelings about this because I am a gay woman and republicans have been less then supportive to say the least. However, I can not pull that lever for a liar and a cheat. I’d rather shoot myself in the foot and vote for McCain then shoot myself in the head and vote for Obama. This is the only way Hillary can run again in 2012. Please don’t stay home and not vote. Hold your nose and vote McCain. (That is if you are thinking of staying home.)At least he is a patriot.
NYModerate 11.03.08 at 6:19 pm
Anyone know when palin is going start speaking in nevada?
bmw60 11.03.08 at 6:20 pm
I just had to share this!
Have you ever heard that a dog ‘knows’ when an earthquake is about to hit?
Have you ever heard that a dog can ’sense’ when a tornado is stirring up, even 20 miles away?
Do you remember hearing that before the December tsunami struckSoutheast Asia , dogs started running frantically away from the seashore, at breakneck speed?
Do you know that dogs can detect cancer and other serious illnesses and danger of fire?
Somehow they always know when they can ‘go for a ride’ before you even ask and how do those dogs and cats get home from hundreds of miles away?
I’m a firm believer that animals – and especially dogs – have keen insights into the Truth.
And you can’t tell me that dogs can’t sense a potentially terrible dis aster well in advance.
Simply said, a dog just KNOWS when something isn’t right .. . when impending doom is upon us . . they’ll always try to warn us….!

I’m voting for McCain, first time in my life for a Republican.
Down ticket female Dems, then Repub females, then male Dems. (Unless they stabbed Hillary in the back.)
Why, because Obama stole the primary from Hillary, and possibly the Whitehouse from Hillary. Because he is not qualified nor does he have integrity. This is not my Democratic Party this election. Throw the bums out!!!!!!!!!

GOSUEF4HIL 11.03.08 at 6:24 pm
Just back from McCain’s HQ here in Phoenix. What energy and action. I wore my Hillary t-shirt and got a standing ovation from my phone-bank table.
Newspaper and TV were there, wanted to interview me but I was getting ready to leave- I will be back tomorrow and maybe talk to someone then.
I am voting for McCain because he is honest, he is what he says he is. He does what he says he will.
I am not voting for Obama because he does not honor voters. He goes back on promises. He is aware of voter registration fraud and does nothing about it, in fact, he encourages it. He was a part of caucus fraud. He is a misogynist. I could go on forever.
Enough said?

After this long, I no longer find McCain so un-compelling, and will cast my vote for him tomorrow with no regrets. Especially after having read the article about the sObamaseal background; and that explanation having surfaced after the Prairie Fire treatise. BO and entourage are icky people, as we say here in MN and where we all talk like Sarah Palin. Icky, ishy Mr NoBo.

Again I have to begin with THANK YOU. You have brought light to what seemed like a very dark tunnel 2 mos ago. I’m from WA. I find myself scouring and devouring everything I read online. Its good because I think I actually lost weight sitting so much at my computer and forgetting to eat. What I hope we all achieve? after this nightmare, is an equal playing field without the discussion of clothing, breasts, hair and makeup. And that we don’t lose the values of our democracy that we all hold so dear.

Pookie 11.03.08 at 6:27 pm
McCain was in Bristol, Va today this is a comment that was in the newspaper by a Democrat:
I’m a Democrat who voted for McCain! You must be totally oblivious to the real world! Barack HUSSEIN Obama wants to sit down with the leaders of terrorist run countries and “chat”. Haven’t you noticed how he prounces Pakistan and the Taliban? Listen carefully because it’s with an accent that borders arabic. He wants to bring our troops home with no plan at all…just wants to bring them home. If he had ever been in the military (which of course he couldn’t because he was in a foreign country where his father supported terrorists) he would understand why you just don’t pull the military out after fighting so hard to keep that country stable. My son served in Iraq. If someone were to just pull them out…what was all of his turmoil and fighting for? Bringing our troops home would be a slap in their faces! And, you mention the past eight years. Haven’t you been listening to the news? It’s a Democratic Congress and has been for a while now! It’s just a plain old cop out for someone to comment on the “last eight years”. Is that all Democrats can say?The last I checked, McCain hasn’t been the President the past eight years! And don’t say that he voted the way the President did…there were a lot of democrats who did! And, again…it’s a Democratic congress! Does Obama have a good knowledge of foreign relations? Probably the wrong kind! Has anyone thought of where all of his money for his campaign is coming from? What about his thesis for his Master’s degree? It’s missing. Hmmmmm…I wonder just WHAT he wrote about? You can bet it had something to do with terrorists or life growing up with a father (or lack of a father) who supported terrorists! Obama has absolutely NO leadership experience at all! Community service? Yes. American service? NO. Nora…this is a serious task each of us has. Think about it.. if we had another attack on our country..would you want someone who wants to sit down and chat…or would you rather have someone who has already experienced having to deal with foreign enemies? Vote McCain…he sacrificed his life for you..now return the favor!
hillstheone 11.03.08 at 6:28 pm
Topic: A grain of salt?
Here’s what I just got in an email from INTrade, but who knows where they get their info?
*** Intrade’s info: Obama is ahead in swing states:
Florida, Pennsylvania, Ohio, North Carolina, Virginia, Nevada, Colorado, New Mexico.
John McCain leads in Georgia, Indiana, Montana and North Dakota.
Missouri has teetered red and blue in recent days, but as of 12:00PM ET is tilting to Obama.

If you ask me, all those swing states look mighty suspicious.
And what about New Hampshire, and Michigan, are they considered swing states or not?

Just an idea…
Might want to remind them to make sure they are prepared as Biden said to EXPECT a GENERATED terrorist action against nobo if he becomes the POTUS. I hope they have a plan to keep their families safe. No matter how far to the right they are, if they want to make sure their families are safe, then they have to vote for McCain or they are probably going to be fighting for their lives in their own country, maybe their own cities or towns in the next 6 months. That could mean Christmas or shortly thereafter. Hope they are ready.

Dang Murphy, you moved on me and I found myself down there talking to myself.
My family, extended family and in laws consist of 30 democrats who voted for Hillary in the primaries and have now cast their vote for McCain. My son works in the Detroit area and heard all his co-workers did the same. We all voted early. The lines have been enormously long for early voting.
My five yr old. grand daughter came in from school today and said, “Nonnie guess what, our school voted today and McCain won.” I asked, “Did you vote for McCain? She said, “Yes, my whole class did!” I said, “Give me five.”
We are doing our part in Ohio and Mich.

Can Obama win popular vote but lose election?
http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20081103/ap_on_el_pr/split_decision
WASHINGTON – It’s a nightmare scenario for Democrats — their nominee Barack Obama winning the popular vote while Republican John McCain ekes out an Electoral College victory. Sure, McCain trails in every recent national poll. Sure, surveys show that Obama leads in the race to reach the requisite 270 electoral votes to win the presidency.
Sure, chances of Republicans retaining the White House are remote.
But some last-minute state polls show the GOP nominee closing the gap in key states — Republican turf of Virginia, Florida and Ohio among them, and Democratic-leaning Pennsylvania, too.
greenfun 11.03.08 at 6:38 pm
COME ON PUMAS—WE ARE THE OCTOBER SURPRISE-YIPPEEE
Ok, I am the most hard core Democrat you ever want to meet. I have never voted for a Republican for anything in my life-I mean ever.
I have voted straight Dem for thirty years now. I phone banked for both Kerry and Gore. I was absolutely crushed when Gore did not become President—sad,cried,despondent for weeks.
Before this election cycle, I couldn’t imagine not voting Dem. It would take a hell of a lot to move my vote.
I wrangled back and forth with this decision for months. I tried to think of any reason to vote for BO– how meaningful it would be for my AA friends to have BO as POTUS, and the thought of not voting for a Dem made me want to cry.
Still, in the end I sent in that absentee ballot, and McCain/Palin is who I voted for.
Democracy and the democratic process are worth fighting for, and I could never vote against my principles-especially knowing what I know.
I ask myself—-how many others are doing the same? It took a lot to move my vote in the other column—how many other dems would be prompted by far less? I hadn’t told a single person how I voted-not even my husband. The quiet voters voting for McCain-there must be so many more—–SO GET BACK OUT THERE AND LET’S MAKE THIS HAPPEN!!!!!! GO PUMAS!!!
Seattlegirl 11.03.08 at 6:38 pm
ajane : Hi to you! I am really thinking that WA can go for McCain. There are a lot of mad voters out there who can’t wait for their chance at a redo on our Governors race. That should bring out the Republicans.

I’m still here! I just read what I wrote back on June 8th. It’s been a long road but I haven’t changed my mind about any of my reasons for not voting BO. After listening to every debate, listening to conservative and liberal pundits, reading political websites and newpapers, blogging, and on and on I have decided to vote McCain. Now I just have to wait and see what happens. According to the media it’s hopeless for McCain but after this election season I don’t trust the media anymore.
One of my first hopes after this election is for a big media backlash. I can’t stress that enough. I want to boycott every media outlet that was in the tank for BO.

Obama Has Links to ANOTHER ’60s Radical
Barack Obama has consistently sought to distance himself from former domestic terrorist Bill Ayers. But it’s a different story with another student radical from the 1960s — Marilyn Katz — who is actually on Obama’s fundraising team.
Katz, a public relations executive in Chicago, serves on Obama’s national finance committee. She is listed as a fundraising “bundler” on his Web site, has hosted fundraisers for the candidate, and attended the Democratic Convention as part of the Illinois delegation.
But during the violent protests of the 1968 Democratic National Convention in Chicago, Katz was the security chief for the radical Students for a Democratic Society (SDS), which spawned Ayers and the Weather Underground.
During those protests, Katz advocated throwing studded nails in front of police cars, the Chicago Tribune reported.
In 1969, an undercover policeman named William Frapolly testified at the “Chicago Seven” trials, and prosecutors asked him to describe his collaboration with organizers of the protest the previous year.
He testified that one night in Chicago’s Lincoln Park, Katz briefed a group of protesters on the use of “guerilla nails.
”
“She had two types,” he told the court.
“One was a cluster of nails that were sharpened at both ends, and they were fastened in the center. It looked like they were welded or soldered. She said these were good for throwing or putting underneath tires.
“She showed another set that was the same type of nails sharpened at both ends, but they were put through a Styrofoam cylinder.”
A prosecutor asked, “To whom was she showing these objects?”
Frapolly answered, “Everyone in the group.”
Katz was a principal organizer of the October 2002 anti-war demonstration in Chicago where Obama first expressed his opposition to the looming Iraq war.
In 2005, she co-authored the book “Stopping War, Seeking Justice” along with longtime Marxist and Obama supporter Carl Davidson.
Now she is co-chair of Chicagoans Against War & Injustice, and her public relations firm is working on contracts with the city of Chicago worth millions of dollars. She lists as her clients the city’s housing authority, law department, and departments of housing, human services, streets and sanitation, and public health, among others.
As for her relationship with Ayers, who admitted helping to bomb the U.S. Capitol and the Pentagon in the 1970s, the Tribune reported that she has said, “Bill and I were in different parts of SDS. We disagreed on tactics.
Guy Benson wrote on Townhall. com about Obama’s Katz connection: “There are so many objectionable figures in Obama’s social milieu, new revelations about yet another garden variety radical may elicit shrugs at this point . . .
“Perhaps it follows that someone who preferred lobbing guerilla nails at police over planting pipe bombs in federal buildings would be integrated into Obama’s official campaign apparatus without so much as a second look.
”
2ohiorepubs4hillary 11.03.08 at 6:42 pm
First time posting here, so please be gentle! I discovered this site last Friday and it really did pick up my spirits.
Just a quick background:
My wife and I made the decision well before the Ohio primary that we would switch to a democrat ballet and vote for Hillary. McCain had the nomination locked up, but watching the way the media treated Hillary and fawned over Obama made us sick. Plus we saw right away how dangerous Obama was, especially with a complicit media. This was way before Rush’s Operation Chaos. We weren’t sure we’d vote for Hillary in November, but we wanted a choice for president between two ADULTS! One quick note about the Ohio primary also, she would have won by a much higher margin but there were floods in eastern and southeastern Ohio that night that greatly suppressed her vote.
At any rate, after the primary we were threatened with prosecution for switching parties etc…which was a joke to us and of course nothing ever came of it. If only we’d registered as dems 72 times each we wouldn’t even have been threatened!
The poster above who warned about listening to the mainstream media and radio is so correct. I left this site earlier this afternoon feeling pretty good, but listening to the radio in the car while out on two business appointments made me a little down again. Oh, and O’Reilly is in the tank for Obama, simply because he’s all about himself and his huge ego, and he’s afraid of the fairness doctrine and thinks Obama will spare him.
I’m convinced he even lets callers through with the birth certificate charge and things like that simply so he can defend Obama and point out how fair he is!
Tomorrow, obviously we’ll vote for McCain. As, I bet, will two certain famous people who now reside in New York. You know them right? One was a president, the other should have been!
Thanks to all, I’ll be reading along with you.
BillieJo 11.03.08 at 6:42 pm
Drudge,
http://www.drudgereport.com/flashmm.htm
Based on the previous exit poll results, we should expect once again that Tuesday’s exit poll data could overstate the Obama vote and under represent the McCain vote.
It is important that the campaign make sure the media realizes this, so that when the exit polls do leak, people do not overreact to the early exit poll data. Rather than looking at the exit polls, we should wait until we start seeing actual election results from key precincts and counties to gauge who won the election.
We believe that this will hold true this year. The recent Fox News survey showed that 46% of Obama voters said they were very likely to participate in the exit polls, while just 35% of McCain supporters are.

From MN now, born and raised in Boston and still miss the ocean and the smell of salt after 45 years. Have been quietly working here supporting PUMA – PAC and doing somethings local. My jouney from totally committed to Hillary to now voting Rep. down to ticket has been process. At times during the trip I had to stop and talk to my Mom, Dad, Nana and Grandpa, and tell them not to roll over in the grave, and try to get them to understand that there comes a time when a person has to stop and stand up for Country over Party. At first I was only going to vote “No at the Top”, but as time went on I could see that just helping John Mc Cain get into the WH was not enough. I’ve decided to vote down the ticket in an effort to prevent a veto proof House and Senate. Hillary again in 2012.

I just read your blog and I could have written it! I have never voted anything but democrat in my life. My dad must be rolling over in his grave right now since I voted McCain.
I have told no one who I voted for either – not even my husband. I had the same thought about how many others are there also quietly voting McCain?

BE A “POLL WATCHER” (forgot to post earlier):
If you’re not a poll worker, you can still be a poll watcher. It’s much more flexible (doesn’t require you put in a non-stop 6 am – 9 pm+ day). You go to various polling sites, as needed to make sure things are on the up and up. If interested, contact your local GOP/McCain headquarters. They’re probably still looking for folks.
I’m doing it. It’ll be my last action on Election Day.

I was looking at some numbers and at Marston Chronicles, the blogger believes that McCain/Palin will win in a landslide because of PUMAs. I saw Will from PUMA saying on Fox News last week that they had about 10 percent of Hillary Clinton’s 18 million voters as PUMAs. That equals 1,800,000. Marston Chronicles says that if McCain gets around 874,000 PUMAs across eleven states to vote for him that they would sweep the board. If Will is accurate, then there are MORE than enough PUMAs to help him win in a landslide. The question is, does anyone have an idea of how many PUMAs will actually vote for McCain? Can anyone answer that? Murphy? The answer to that question might determine our next president.

Hey Murphy – Just went back & read my original letter to Howie back on June 8 – the feelings that I expressed in that letter are exactly the same today – only magnified – I was always a voter but never really got highly motivated until Hillary – then – I couldn’t stop. Have to admit that my eyes have been opened & I finally see how arrogantly the Dem party has treated women over the years – I will never and I repeat, never go back to the Democratic Party unless and until big time changes are made………………..this I vow.
When McPalin win on Tuesday, then PUMAs need to start to regain or renew or reclaim whatever vestiges of the party that may still be around and shape it to include everything we have learned over the past 5 months about what we think a democratic republic should be.
In case I haven’t said it before – I thank you with every fiber of my being for setting up this site and allowing all of us the freedom to vent, cry, laugh and bond. Thank you so much.

Lets all vote for Obama price support program. We have to spread the wealth to the Saudi Sunni Muslim Arabs.
Heating oil at $30/gallon
Auto gas at $25/gallon
electricity at $1 a minute for a light bulb
But do not worry folks. Everyone will get a $10 check in the mail from our Obama government. We will all be rich.
No need to worry about buying gas and paying a mortgage. We will all be walking and sleeping on a park bench. dead before spring so no pain once dead.
OB Bambi was a Sunni Muslim in Indonesia. Sunni Muslims are the worst terrorists in the world. Just so you know. His mother was a Communist. He was raised by a Communist in Hawaii. Frank Marshall Davis.
Nothing but the best from O Bambi.
He said he always picked his friends carefully. He said he always chose the most radical as friends and as teachers. Good Judgement if you want to be a terrorist. This way he learned how to be an extreme radical and still pass in society. He was taught well.
It is not so silly as it sounds. We already do the same price support for drugs so the criminals get huge profits for drugs. Sounds backwards to me.
BillieJo 11.03.08 at 6:46 pm

fmster 11.03.08 at 6:47 pm
I spoke with my cousin in Florida today, and he was telling me that many of the Obama supporters he works around support Obama because they want nationalized healthcare. What people do not realize is that countries which have nationalized healthcare, such as the U.K., tend to offer a very low quality of care. For example, if one goes to an emergency room with a broken arm, they may not treat the person immediately. They may provide some care and make an appointment for the person to return for treatment. Many in the U.K. are willing to travel to other countries for care rather than seeking care in their own country.
My question is do people who favor Obama know what they are asking for, or are they voting based strictly upon some false promise of hope or because they think it is the “hip” thing to do?
Regarding Obama’s grandmother passing, I am sure he feels saddened. However, I hope people realize that her death is a natural progression to a better place. This should not sway how one votes; one should vote based upon policy and the overall impact of policies on the country. That is just my personal felling about this matter.

Yikes. Sorry. Gotta just say, this gives me a bit of the creeps. Freddie, I think you’re terrific, but you’ve painted with an awfully broad brush. There are millions and millions of African Americans and I hope this election hasn’t resulted in people looking upon them with such feelings of generalized suspicion. I’m not sure what you mean by “every AA trick up its sleeve,”, but it strikes me as offensive. There will be millions of blacks going to the polls voting like everyone else. There will be a small percentage of people involved with fraud, and not all will be black. Sorry. Just had to say.

Zero or Hero?
I will NOT vote for Obama the Zero. So, I am debating today whether to vote for a third party candidate, or to vote for the Hero. (Also a heroic act of his was to put a woman — finally — on the ticket.) I am doing the math. A nothing on top vote for Zero = 0 effect. (And someone could tamper with the ballot later.) A vote for third party = 1 against Zero. A vote for Hero = 2 votes against Zero.
Something to chew on.

You are the true definition of patriotism. WHEN McCain wins this election, he has you and your many supporters to thank. We could not win this without the mighty PUMAs! One of the most rewarding things about this election is the discovery that there are many things that Hillary and McCain supporters can agree upon.

My Friend,
From the time I entered the Naval Academy at age seventeen I have been privileged and honored to serve my country.
Throughout my years of service, I’ve been faced with challenges where I could have taken the easy way out and given up. But I’m an American and I never give up. Instead, I choose to show courage and stand up and fight for the country I love. Today, I am asking you to stand with me and to fight for our country’s future.
Our country faces enormous challenges and our next president must be ready to lead on day one. My lifetime of experience has prepared me to lead our great nation. I’m prepared to bring solutions to our economic challenges, bring our troops home in victory and improve our nation’s healthcare system.
Time and time again, my country has saved my life and I owe her more than she has ever owed me. I have chosen to show my gratitude through a life of service to our country and tomorrow, you will have a choice before you.
I humbly ask you to make the choice that will allow me to serve my country a little while longer by casting your vote to elect me as your next President of the United States.
Finally, I ask that you never forget that much has been sacrificed to protect our right to vote. We must never forget those Americans who, with their courage, with their sacrifice, and with their lives, have protected our freedom. It is my great hope that you will exercise your right to vote as an American tomorrow.
I thank you for your kind support, your dedication to our cause, and most importantly I thank you for your vote.
With sincere appreciation,
John McCain
theamericanway 11.03.08 at 6:57 pm
I am from PA and formerly, a lifelong Dem. I began protesting the Primary when Kennedy and Kerry endorsed O. Of course they timed it to have maximum impact on Super Tuesday. Until the end of March, the only computer available to me was at a local library – so research and communication was very limited. Once I got this current puppy going, I researched and churned out thousands of postcards which are snail mailed. First I sent them to congressional Democrats. When convinced that I was being ignored, I added in about 60 newspaper/mag/tv outlets. After the convention I (mostly) excluded the Dems. As rotten as O is, people rarely mention that he was a partner with Dean, Pelosi, Reid et al. He co-operated in their coup because the coup could never have taken place if he was not willing. It makes me sick to think of all the back room meetings he attended with them to get this far. NO WAY NO HOW NO BAMA. John McCain was not looking bad when along came Sarah. A treasure, and willing to clean up this election. How refreshing it has been to hear someone dare to criticize THE ONE. Of course I will vote for them and save for one very lonely but genuine Clinton Democrat running for a house seat, my votes go to republicans down ticket. The dems need to learn a very important lesson: protect our country’s founding principles as well as you have protected Obama and you will have no trouble from me.

KYkitten 11.03.08 at 6:58 pm
I live in INDIANA and am a proud native KY girl hence my blog name! My family is highly educated ( and yet came from what many Obots might call “backwoods”. Even though it’s some of the most beautiful country on God’s green earth ( and not too close to Arkansas if Obama were paying attention). We were farmers; our beautiful farm is still ours. A portrait of FDR hung in my mother’s home all her life. My mother attended a WPA school and was able to go anywhere from that tiny place in KY as was my father. I once believed the democratic party spoke for those who couldn’t speak for themselves gave every individual a chance. I proudly cast my first vote at 18 for Bill Clinton as a freshman in college (I’ll never forget the excitement of that night in my dorm). Fast Fwd to 2008, and I cannot understand what the DNC has done to this party ( especially to Hillary) nor stand by and be a part of it. The attributes I detested about the GOP years earlier I see in my own party and even in many instances much worse (Palin attacks etc and all attacks whether it be based on education, gender, age etc.). Not only this but after taking the one qualified dem candidate away, we were left w/ a sexist, fraud, empty suit, and dare i say racist? He is not new politics, and some of those that got him where he is today are questionable in my book– I find him to be a legend in his own mind or as classic comedian Jerry Clower might say “educated beyond his intelligence.” Should I go on? I discovered pumapac in June as a link posted on a blog I was reading after the primaries were over. Since that time, I have read hundreds of thousands of words about this election on all sides. I am going to vote for McCain/Palin ticket tomorrow in Indiana. I may not be as wide-eyed and excited as I was at 18 but just as determined– I have 3 young children depending on this..Murphy thank you for giving us a voice or rather a roar! I hope the democratic process will prevail no matter what, because the hope of this great nation depends on it.

I live in a very solid blue state (Illinois).
What about voting Green party? I hear this would make it easier for Greens to be on the ballot automatically next election. Might they also get some public campaign funds?
Does anyone have any thoughts about voting third party?

Dear Mr. Dean,
Do you recall when you went on television and said “shut [your] mouths,” because of the disharmony in the dem party? Sir, you are are very disrespectful–don’t you dare ever speak to me or any of us like that again. I believe your position has gone to your head. I’ve watched how you demanded that superdelegates choose a candidate–pressuring them like a bully. Don’t you know how sleazy it has all been?
Believe this: I am dropping the dem party and re-registering as Independent. I don’t need this party and I certainly don’t need you.
-The dem party is now just a mob of wild eyed frenzied power hungry too far left radicals. I’ve been paying attention to this primary season, and I am outraged.
-Superdelegates going against their states that Hillary won to endorse Obama. Superdelegates who were ready to jump out and endorse Obama after every one of his screw ups. Superdelegates like Donna B, acting like she was undecided on CNN and MSNBC and everywhere she went, even though she was clearly in the tank for Obama.
The superdelegates have too much power, and you know it, and you love it. One man with 10,000 votes? The superdelegates were not put in place to stand in as a multi-headed dictator. I simply cannot believe how you have all manipulated this primary season.
-I am outraged with how FL and MI was handled–the whole thing just SMELLS of corruption and sneakiness and LIES.
-I reject the caucus system in this silly party. Obama wins caucus events in red republican states with George Soros backed Moveon.org maniacs that were bussed in–how can that not be taken into consideration as far as what it means in the general election: NADA.
Hillary wins the big blue dem states, and the all important purple swing states, and you FOOLS throw away the one who beats McCain in the electoral map, and the one whose supporters polled that they would not vote for Obama–far more than the Obama followers who said that they would not support her?? That’s just STUPID.
Donna B says that she doesn’t need the old coalition of democrats…you know the LONG-TERM, LIFE-LONG, CORE democrats, like seniors, women, white working class, rural whites, hispanics, catholics, and jews, and even gays. ARE YOU ALL NUTS?
I also cannot believe that none of YOU said ANYTHING about the media insanity–all the attacks on Hillary and all the misogyny. Kerry knows all too well that the media is bought off by powerful people who want to push their political agendas–he’s been quoted as saying that sort of thing in the past numerous times, and yet he said NOTHING. Mr. Dean, did you forget Yeeeeahhh!!!? I suppose you thought it was fair what the media did?
EVERYONE can plainly see that this primary season was fixed! The bought off media protected and promoted Obama, helping to build his cult of personality, while never vetting him, and attacking Hillary NON-DAMN-STOP. EVERYONE can see how panicked you ALL became when Hillary kept winning and winning. OMG! Drop out! OMG! Supers decide now!
You are all low-down greedy corrupt politicians no better than the republicans. You were all promised the moon and a brick of money to stash it at.
If any of you superdelegates bowed to the political pressures and threats to support Obama even though you knew it was wrong: SHAME ON YOU.
You hand it to the MAN who was only a U.S. Senator for one…ONE year before he announced his candidacy to run for the White House, over a woman with decades of experience, a person who has always been a civil rights and equal rights activist. How DARE you! How dare all of you disrespect the Clinton’s and allow them to be portrayed as racist from the Obama camp and the Obama-media. How DARE you allow our Former First Lady and U.S. Senator, and the Former President of the United States be so mistreated!! It’s UNFORGIVABLE! I no longer want to be associated with this sleazy dem party. The new and ‘changed’ SLEAZY dem party.
I will never vote for Obama.
EVER.

There must be sumpin wrong with me~~~or with the way I pick friends. Cuz none of the ones I thought I had even want to talk to me or email me anymore. All of them have turned on me over BO.
Except for you all here!
****************************
Mountainsong it is time for me post, once again a Poem About People that come into our lives.
A Reason, a Season, or a Lifetime
People come into your life for a reason, a season, or
a lifetime. When you figure out which one it is, you
will know what to do for each person.
When someone is in your life for a REASON . . .
It is usually to meet a need you have expressed.
They have come to assist you through a difficulty,
to provide you with guidance and support, to aid you physically,
emotionally, or spiritually. They may seem like a
godsend, and they are! They are there for the reason
you need them to be.
Then, without any wrong doing on your part, or at an
inconvenient time, this person will say or do something
to bring the relationship to an end.
Sometimes they die.
Sometimes they walk away.
Sometimes they act up and force you to take a stand.
What we must realize is that our need has been met, our
desire fulfilled, their work is done. The prayer you
sent up has been answered. And now it is time to move on.
When people come into your life for a SEASON . . .
Because your turn has come to share, grow, or learn.
They bring you an experience of peace, or make you laugh.
They may teach you something you have never done.
They usually give you an unbelievable amount
of joy. Believe it! It is real! But, only for a season.
LIFETIME relationships teach you lifetime lessons; things
you must build upon in order to have a solid emotional
foundation. Your job is to accept the lesson, love the
person, and put what you have learned to use in all
other relationships and areas of your life. It is said
that love is blind but friendship is clairvoyant.

Hey! Football fans the NFT has something going on with the Momday night football game the night before the election. Seems they have never been wrong sense 1976. When the Washinton Red Skins play at home that night and win, then the incumbent party wins the next day. This year they scheduled the game at home this year for just that reason. ” Go Red Skins”.

You have millions of friends here. I have experienced I can not talk to my friends at ALL so we will remain friends after this election. My one friend called me today to say she is thinking of me. She is for O and I voted McCain last week. We have enough in common to not allow this election to hurt our friendship. Like I told my sister, “We will have to agree, to disagree and I still love you.”

Truth sometimes must be delivered with bluntness…I will tell you this, if this man is not defeated, it will be your friends who look to you for insight and support when the effects of his radical plans start to hit home in them. Then, you will decide if you, a leader, will lead them or leave them to their insufficient lights. LOL Mountainsong….

____-
That was internal DNC stuff, with the collusion of the leadership. Somewhat harder to pull off in national elections, governed by laws instead of party rules and habits and local bosses. Even though the Dem party has tried hard to put SoS’s in place in the states to fudge as much as possible.
The point is, there is no external authority restraining a party that wants to F itself. But there is law and the Constitution enforcing election conduct. Even though O & Co. have done their best to subvert and undercut them.

My best friend is also a democrat. She was leaning toward NObama after Denver Convention. She and I had a long talk over the phone (she lives in NY).We talk for hours, I told her why NObama is a bad choice for our country especially we are not allowed to ask him serious questions, his vote FOR FISA, his vote AGAINST Born Alive Protection Act, his flip flop that never ends – we don’t seem to see the bottom but we know he’s heading that way, it’s just a matter of time. She is now a McCain supporter and campaigning for him at work, talking to her other officemates still leaning towards NObama to vote for McCain.
I haven’t lose a friend this election, but I sure as hell experienced too many doors slammed on my face when I was doing my door to door campaign for McCain in heavily democratic area.

I have not posted for awhile but I have been here every day. Tomorrow, for the first time in my life I will vote republican. I have mixed feelings about this because I am a gay woman and republicans have been less then supportive to say the least.
**************
Good to see you back, redtumble. I too had mixed feelings about voting for a party that denies us rights but when I got in the voting booth, I had a flashback of the way Hillary was treated during the primary and I ended up voting a straight Republican ticket, except for one. I left feeling empowered and a little vindicated. Best of all, I’m just as gay as I was when I went in there!!

feebie 11.03.08 at 7:15 pm
oh, speaking on the friends note.
My best friend was a die hard Clinton supporter. We disagreed on things (but I always respected Clinton, and again, I WOULD have voted her over McCain) it was always civil. And ya know, mostly our disagreements were never really fundamental in nature. It was what I like to call, civil political discourse.
She is voting for Obama and has become an absolute different person. So much so that when I called the other day, she said to me “Everytime I see Palin’s face I just want to RIP it off”. Huh? Why? It was bizarre (I think she must have Olberdoodle on repeat). She keeps calling me and telling me how disappointed she was when Clinton lost but now she has “grown to Love Obama and his ideas…” WTF? It was creepy.
She attended a rally in Nevada and I swear, it was like something out of the Huxley Novel, Brave New World. She just kept talking about how “loving, educated, diverse and peaceful” the crowed there was…that she felt “it was a healing experience” for her (ok, who are you and WHAT have you done with my FRIEND). She sounded like she was on SOMA for cryen out loud!!!!! “”the warm, the richly coloured, the infinitely friendly world of soma-holiday. How kind, how good-looking, how delightfully amusing every one was! ” – Huxley, Brave New World.
This chit has GOT to stop.
I just pray McCain/Palin wins. Hillary gets a position in his cabinet, and NO ONE (Especially Republicans) forget about all the PUMA’s that kept Obama from stealing the white house. McCain shall forever have you (and Mr. Joe the Plumber) to thank. God Bless.
GoPumaGo 11.03.08 at 7:16 pm
from an ABC posting.
Better look into Barack Obama, whether he wins or loses. He’s got some “horrible” friends. . Obama Has Links to ANOTHER ’60s RadicalBarack Obama has consistently sought to distance himself from former domestic terrorist Bill Ayers. But it’s a different story with another student radical from the 1960s — Marilyn Katz — who is actually on Obama’s fundraising team. Katz, a public relations executive in Chicago, serves on Obama’s national finance committee. She is listed as a fundraising “bundler” on his Web site, has hosted fundraisers for the candidate, and attended the Democratic Convention as part of the Illinois delegation. But during the violent protests of the 1968 Democratic National Convention in Chicago, Katz was the security chief for the radical Students for a Democratic Society (SDS), which spawned Ayers and the Weather Underground. During those protests, Katz advocated throwing studded nails in front of police cars, the Chicago Tribune reported. In 1969, an undercover policeman named William Frapolly testified at the “Chicago Seven” trials, and prosecutors asked him to describe his collaboration with organizers of the protest the previous year. He testified that one night in Chicago’s Lincoln Park, Katz briefed a group of protesters on the use of “guerilla nails.” “She had two types,” he told the court. “One was a cluster of nails that were sharpened at both ends, and they were fastened in the center. It looked like they were welded or soldered. She said these were good for throwing or putting underneath tires. “She showed another set that was the same type of nails sharpened at both ends, but they were put through a Styrofoam cylinder.” A prosecutor asked, “To whom was she showing these objects?” Frapolly answered, “Everyone in the group.” Katz was a principal organizer of the October 2002 anti-war demonstration in Chicago where Obama first expressed his opposition to the looming Iraq war. In 2005, she co-authored the book “Stopping War, Seeking Justice” along with longtime Marxist and Obama supporter Carl Davidson. Now she is co-chair of Chicagoans Against War & Injustice, and her public relations firm is working on contracts with the city of Chicago worth millions of dollars. She lists as her clients the city’s housing authority, law department, and departments of housing, human services, streets and sanitation, and public health, among others. As for her relationship with Ayers, who admitted helping to bomb the U.S. Capitol and the Pentagon in the 1970s, the Tribune reported that she has said, “Bill and I were in different parts of SDS. We disagreed on tactics.” Guy Benson wrote on Townhall.com about Obama’s Katz connection: “There are so many objectionable figures in Obama’s social milieu, new revelations about yet another garden variety radical may elicit shrugs at this point . . . “Perhaps it follows that someone who preferred lobbing guerilla nails at police over planting pipe bombs in federal buildings would be integrated into Obama’s official campaign apparatus without so much as a second look.”

Let’s watch the faces of the Obama supporters, both as it gets later tonight and of course all day tomorrow. I remember the Kerry people looking absolutely elated in 2004 early on election day, and Bush people looking glum, but it reversed about mid-afternoon.
Of course, none are supposed to reveal the exit polling, but their faces often do…
Today sitting behind Biden in Missouri was Clair McCaskell, and she looked very sad and worried! Now, it could be that she was worried what the heck Joe might say, but I also think she was reflecting the reality that she knew her state, Missouri, was lost already…
Anyone else notice this?

Fox/Rasmussen battleground polls: Tightening
POSTED AT 6:15 PM ON NOVEMBER 3, 2008 BY ED MORRISSEY
SEND TO A FRIEND | PRINTER-FRIENDLY
Allahpundit covered the national polling from Fox and Rasmussen in his earlier post, and now a somewhat contradictory set of numbers have come out of the battleground states. The state polls show some hope for McCain yet in the states he needs to win tomorrow. Fox has yet to write its story, so let’s just peruse the toplines ourselves from the data.
Colorado – Obama leads 51/47, after last week’s 50/46. Within the MOE, but not much movement.
Florida – McCain lead 50/49, after trailing 51/47 last week. Definitely moving towards McCain.
Missouri – Dead heat at 49 all, after Obama led 48/47 last week. Movement to McCain.
North Carolina – McCain 50/49, after being up 49/48 last week.
Ohio – Tied at 49, after Obama led 49/45 last week. Movement to McCain.
Virginia – Obama leads 51/47, same as last week.
Interestingly, Fox didn’t poll in Pennsylvania, or the results are not yet ready. In any case, those states with movement show it going to McCain, and he’s no longer trailing anywhere except Colorado and Virginia. Undecideds are going to McCain, and the battlegrounds appear to be firming up red. Of course, these are all states Bush carried in 2004, and to balance possible losses in Colorado and Virginia — still too close to call — McCain will need Pennsylvania.

Question for the board:
I am will be voting for McCain tomorrow morning in upstate NY. But for our congressional race I find myself quite torn. Kirsten Gillibrand (D), the incumbent is running against Sandy Treadwell (R-male). So should I vote the 30% solution or vote for the Republican to hope to offset Dem gains in the house. Gillibrand has not been a bad Congressperson- even voted against the bailout. Thoughts?
And my dirty little secret: my oldest son (27) was talking about voting for Obama. Felt he was more ‘like’ him (read not old!) But my son has just relocated to Portland, Oregon. No time to register out there. I was supposed to get him an absentee ballot but “forgot”. Sometimes you just have to save them from themselves! I know NY will go Obama but at least my family didn’t help!

If that happens, there are still 2 1/2 months until inauguration. A whole lot of new information can be released in that time. Look at all the stuff that has come out already. It’ll give us time to get the Supreme Court to have Obama prove his citzenship. That’s what I’ll be working on.
But I think Mac is going to win. The Republicans will have to get their base out.
I got a mailer from the GOP today, it was real good. It talked about Obama and Rezko, that Obama secured Rezko a $14 million land deal; Obama directed $1 million to the Univ of Chicago after the Hospital gave Michelle a nearly $200,000 pay raise; Obama directed thousands of dollars to radical religious leader Pfleger; Obama’s requests for $930 million in earmarks. At the bottom, it listed it’s sources. A very, very, good mailer.

Hi everyone,
I’m wondering if there are any NY city Pumas here. If so, are you going to be watching the returns tomorrow night at a public place? My girlfriend, who insists on voting for the Democratic candidate, and I cannot be in the same room when Obama’s name is mentioned much less when these returns start coming in.
GeorgiaPuma 11.03.08 at 7:24 pm
I remember when we were working so hard for Hillary, there was a site where you could light a candle. I just lit several for McCain/Palin 2008. Brought back alot of memories.

I am registered now as an Independent although I usually vote to the Democrat Party side of the ballot. I voted for Hillary and watched the phony “roll-call” at the DNC, I worte the tallies and was horrified as each state “voted.” I had no intention ever of voting for BO, but until I located PUMAs on line, I had no idea what to do (except argue with Obama followers in my family and small circle of friends. I am glad to have found you, but am not sure you want me to be here after the election as you attempt to cleanse the Democrat Party of its filth.
I already sent in my absentee ballot marked for McCain/Palin and I did so happily. (I am in CA)
tatepuma 11.03.08 at 7:24 pm
Last week I voted REPUB for the first time in all of my voting years; I knew from the onset of the election cycle that I would never vote Obama. I thank Hillary for all of her hard work under the duress that she encountered for as Sarah Palin said” Hillary did open the door for women” and although it has not been fully opened it was a start that I am praying that Sarah Palin will finish. Thanks to all of my fellow PUMAS for the hard work that has been done on this blog and for realizing that it is about our country and that we will do everything possible to protect its people, values, and rights to freedom.

Obama Has Links to ANOTHER ’60s Radical
Barack Obama has consistently sought to distance himself from former domestic terrorist Bill Ayers. But it’s a different story with another student radical from the 1960s — Marilyn Katz — who is actually on Obama’s fundraising team.
Katz, a public relations executive in Chicago, serves on Obama’s national finance committee. She is listed as a fundraising “bundler” on his Web site, has hosted fundraisers for the candidate, and attended the Democratic Convention as part of the Illinois delegation.
But during the violent protests of the 1968 Democratic National Convention in Chicago, Katz was the security chief for the radical Students for a Democratic Society (SDS), which spawned Ayers and the Weather Underground.
During those protests, Katz advocated throwing studded nails in front of police cars, the Chicago Tribune reported.
In 1969, an undercover policeman named William Frapolly testified at the “Chicago Seven” trials, and prosecutors asked him to describe his collaboration with organizers of the protest the previous year.
He testified that one night in Chicago’s Lincoln Park, Katz briefed a group of protesters on the use of “guerilla nails.”
“She had two types,” he told the court.
“One was a cluster of nails that were sharpened at both ends, and they were fastened in the center. It looked like they were welded or soldered. She said these were good for throwing or putting underneath tires.
“She showed another set that was the same type of nails sharpened at both ends, but they were put through a Styrofoam cylinder.”
A prosecutor asked, “To whom was she showing these objects?”
Frapolly answered, “Everyone in the group.”
Katz was a principal organizer of the October 2002 anti-war demonstration in Chicago where Obama first expressed his opposition to the looming Iraq war.
In 2005, she co-authored the book “Stopping War, Seeking Justice” along with longtime Marxist and Obama supporter Carl Davidson.
Now she is co-chair of Chicagoans Against War & Injustice, and her public relations firm is working on contracts with the city of Chicago worth millions of dollars. She lists as her clients the city’s housing authority, law department, and departments of housing, human services, streets and sanitation, and public health, among others.
As for her relationship with Ayers, who admitted helping to bomb the U.S. Capitol and the Pentagon in the 1970s, the Tribune reported that she has said, “Bill and I were in different parts of SDS. We disagreed on tactics.”
Guy Benson wrote on Townhall.com about Obama’s Katz connection: “There are so many objectionable figures in Obama’s social milieu, new revelations about yet another garden variety radical may elicit shrugs at this point . . .
“Perhaps it follows that someone who preferred lobbing guerilla nails at police over planting pipe bombs in federal buildings would be integrated into Obama’s official campaign apparatus without so much as a second look.”

Repost from this morning-
We don’t need no water, let it burn!
PUMAS, at this point we have helped our cause so much and I hope that regardless of outcome tomorrow (inevitable BO loss in my opinion)everyone will take a quick pause to be completely amazed and proud. I got my liberal partner, liberal dad and moderate brother to vote Mc Cain as well as two neighbors. I printed flyers weekly and hung them at the campus up the street from me and at two library branches. Everytime someone took them down, I hung more.
On this blog I’ve been able to learn so much about politics, computers,miscellaneous stuff, and life in general from people who do not fit in one category. You are all wonderful in your own ways and I am glad to have found this site. Karla4Hillary, I see you occasionally but you were the one who convinced me to come here from the HRC site and I owe you a huge debt of gratitude.
I have just started my winter work schedule, which is a partial layoff working just Friday, Saturday and Sunday. That means I will be able to treat tomorrow as a holiday and see the whole thing from start to finish. I have 6 little brown bottles in the refrigerator to celebrate with, though if I have more than 2 we’re all in trouble. Someone quoted Samuel Adams the other day and as it is a BOSTON lager, I felt it was an appropriate nod to Murphy to choose Sam as my beverage of choice for this occasion.
Finally, I hope everyone stays around after tomorrow. I’m up for whatever challenge we all take on to make our Democratic Party better, and to help create a political environment where working across the aisle is more of the norm. Sorry for the lengthy post,you are all amazing people and I’m honored to be among you.

Redskins favored by 2 1/2: The race is a squeaker
http://countrycomestotownblog.blogspot.com/2008/11/redskins-mccain-steelers-obama.html
Since 1936 the NFL Washington Redskins final home game before the presidential election has been a near perfect predictor of which party will win come election day. If the Washington Redskins win, it indicates the incumbent party (Republicans) will remain in office and if the visiting team wins, it indicates the challenging party (Democratic) will win the presidential election. So, I say go Pittsburgh Steelers since they are the visiting team at FedEX Field tonight in Washington! The lone exception to this came four years ago in 2004. Some would laugh and say it’s proof that Republicans stole the election in Ohio. Also, if the Redskins win tonight, I’ll immediately claim this indicator as foolish rubbish. If the Steelers win, I’ll do a victory dance. At the very least, I might actually get you all to pay attention to Monday Night Football on ESPN tonight. Another reason to watch is because ESPN’s Chris Berman will interview both John McCain and Barack Obama at halftime. For the record, the Vegas betting odds have the Washington Redskins favored to win by two and a half points. (Washington -2.5) (ESPN Gametime 8:30 pm ET)

I agree. I’ve not forgotten how Obama paraded the homophobe Donnie McClurkin all over the black churches in SC to get those congregations to vote for him. It was then, even before Hillary was railroaded, that I decided I would never support him. I left the Human Rights Campaign, of which I’d been a member for years, when they endorsed him.

regarding the PuffBall Matthews. He tried to go head to head with a Democratic Senator named Zell Miller who was speaking at the RNC in 2004. (No, Im not a Bush fan) but the guys speach was so inspiring, the most inspiring one out of the entire convention. And he was a Democrat!!!!
Matthews was attacking him and Zell challenged him to a “duel” during the interview. It was hysterical.
I think good ol Zell made Matthews tinkle in his shorts after that one. Matthews is a joke.
TXRepGirl 11.03.08 at 7:50 pm
Before things get crazy, I want to give PUMA Nation a small head’s up. There may not be much we can do on this one, but it could well cause chaos on Feb. 17, 2009. That is the day analog TV will cease to exist. If you haven’t gotten your box prior to that date, and you don’t have cable, your TV screen will go all static all the time. Note that is not even a month after Inaguration Day. There are only so many government funds to help Americans out in making the shift, and when they are gone, they will be gone.
I can’t help but think of all the elderly and the very poor, who maybe don’t have the wherewithall to prepare. I’m also thinking about the HUGE chance for disinformation (and we ALL know what THAT is) that could well occur in this vacuum.
This switch will happen whether it’s McCain or O. This needs to be on our list of things to get the word out about when this election is finalized.
Oh, and don’t be too disspirited thinking the Repubs may not stand with you. From personal experience with my friends, we’re fighting mad and we’re NOT electing this guy.
And finally, I read earlier about stuff being gone from grocery shelves. This is in the same line of the stories of increased gun and ammunition sales (which are verifiably true). Think about it, O’s supporters wouldn’t go stock up… he’s going to GIVE them everything after the coronation. These are the good, hard-working Americans, clinging to their God and religion, and just ask yourself who all these people who are emptying the shelves are voting for. I’ll give you one guess, and it AIN’T O. (And if they’re motivated enough to buy guns, ammo, and groceries, don’t you think they’re probably motivated enough to go VOTE too?!)
GO PUMAs!!!!

Hello all… First time poster. Like most of you out there, I’m tense as hell waiting for this election to be over with.
That said, I think we’re going to win. The polls are NOT right. They’re not sampling the right groups, they’re oversampling, and another thing is that only 20% of people called by pollsters actually answer the questions. Well, we all know about the so-called “Obama Wire” that the O Campaign sends out — like when they ordered their minions to bombard the Milt Rosenberg show with emails and calls — and I’m sure they’ve told all O-lovers to answer all the polls. Probably they’d do it on their own, anyhow.
Remember: Obama is all about distorting perception, creating the image of a juggernaut so huge, you might as well just give up. Well, between that and fraud and voter intimidation, Obama stole the nomination from Hillary.
Don’t give in to the MSM’s demoralizing barrage, because THEY WANT OBAMA TO WIN. And the polls are just WRONG.
Chin up, PUMAs… we’re gonna win.
1gypsy4mc 11.03.08 at 7:59 pm
F.E.C. Now listen up – I posted this on earlier thread. Each Secretary of State has a Director – That Director IN EACH STATE was responsible for verifying a candidate was legitimate to run for Presidency! Now – you need to find out what your Sec of State’s affiations are – especially since they seem to want to get involved all of a sudden with the election. Before they sent us to the F.E.C.!! Something doesn’t compute!!
Also, the F.E.C. IS LOOKING INTO ALL THE BOGUS FRAUDULENT $$ COMING IN TO BO’S CAMPAIGN!!
murphy 11.03.08 at 7:59 pm
from hillbuzz:
“We hope and pray Obama followers accept his loss with peace and calm, and that Obama himself uses those oratorical skills of his to persuade all of them to go home, be safe, and not do any damage to major cities. Chicago is braced for Obama’s loss and is actually raising the bridges on the Chicago River to cut the city in two, so any problems that Obama’s followers could cause will be contained in the Loop, and not spread onto Michigan Avenue and the Gold Coast (where, ironically, most of the yuppie Obama supporters live).
We’re thining this race shakes out with a McCain win of 286-252, and Obama delivers his concession speech in Grant Park in Chicago around midnight or so tomorrow night.”
PERFECT.

I went to denver to protest the fraudulent nomination obama. last friday, october 31, I proudly went to the election board office and cast my ballot for mccain palin. in disgust for the dnc, I voted for every republican I could except congressman emanuel cleaver. I opted to support him because he stayed loyal to hillary despite receiving death threats. I’m praying for the sake of our country, to protect the american way of life, that mccain wins. I want the dnc dismantled and obama, reid, pelosi, mccaskill, and dean KICKED TO THE CURB.

Dear “Friends”,
Almost every day for the last 4 months I have found some time to seek refuge and solace in your commentaries. I must thank you for that. You have inspired me with your determination and drive. Thank you for never giving up.
I was a Hillary delegate, so this election certainly didn’t work out the way I wanted it to, the way I thought it would, the way it should have been, they way the World needed it to be.
Tomorrow will be a very moving day for me. For the first time in my life, I will vote for a Republican for President. I am making that choice because I trust Senator McCain. I don’t agree with him on many points, but I trust and respect him. As a Hillary delegate, I can assure you that I never received any respect from Obama for America. Quite the opposite, but that’s another story.
Please keep your work going. We know how these folks work now. We will be better prepared next time.
Wishing you all a peaceful evening and an energized tomorrow. Thanks again for being here for me.
1of18MilforHill08 11.03.08 at 8:03 pm
Hey Puma Family
Just wanted to drop in and say Hi! I do not post much but did some in the past few days.
I live in MN and voting McCain-Palin proudly, I may not agree with him on all issues but I am more aligned with most of his beliefs.
I HAVE NOTHING in common what so ever to “NoBrains”. He goes against everything I do hold dear like I AM proud to be an American, A women, A hard working person, my faith, my family, my friends,my country, my flag, to name a few.
As a past dedicated democratic and Hillary supporter I could not fall in line and support “NoBrains”.
I also did not support Al FrankenNut or McCollum – one being he is a nut (and what he wants to do to Unions) and McCollum because she came out really early and endorsed “NoBrains” while Hillary was still in it…..so that cost her my vote.
This line of voting was across the board for most of my whole family….so needed alittle more nudging than others.
Also note to all MN’s – this a.m. our gov said that they may have MN as a Blue state the race is closer than they say with almost a dead head…..so come on all you MN McCain/Palin supporters get out there and vote! DO NOT SIT HOME – Please
It is going to be a long 36+ hours but I keep praying, talking, helping and doing everything I can to get the word out there…..everybody stay strong!
McCain-PalinGuy 11.03.08 at 8:04 pm
It’s really amazing the difference in the mood here now than just a couple of hours ago. There’s more optimism, excitement. I’m glad that more of you are realizing that McCain/Palin are going to win tomorrow. I’m not a wishful thinker, either. I’m really a skeptic, and sometimes even cynical, but everything I’m reading poll-wise coupled with electoral history, and the reality is that McCain is going to win tomorrow.

I just want to check in and offer some moral support. School keeps me busy, but I have been lurking from time to time. Tomorrow I am going home to Mass to vote–no way can I spend election night on an 89% Pro-Obama (no joke, there was a poll) college campus. This place is an alien planet full of oblivious lifeforms. I didn’t vote absentee for fear of fraud–how messed up is that?
Murphy, I too am voting no/yes/yes on the ballot questions. Can’t bring myself to vote for Kerry, though–leaving the Senate box blank.
Maybe the Bots will bus so many college kiddies to New Hampshire that Mass turns red.

Just heard that they are expecting one million people at Obama’s little post election gathering. But get this, the park (now infamous for the Daley riots) can only hold 70,000!
Meanwhile, all the free tix to the occasion are gone and there are presumably tons of Craig’s List posts asking for or offering tickets and it sounds like it’s getting crazy. Folks offering $1500 for a ticket, free dates, etc. One guy who has a ticket said he doesn’t mean to be too powerful about it, but hey, this is capitalism. I thought, “Buddy, if that’s how you’re thinking and you’ve voting for Obama, you’ve got some cognitive dissonance going on!”

Here is a post for some Florida Boards:
He Did Not Count Our Votes When They Counted (Obama the AntiDemocrat)
First he challenged all the Florida Votes.
Then he supported 1/2 a vote because it was not enough to swing the primary.
Then, after calling for “Party Unity” and getting the superdelegate vote, he finally counted the Florida vote… when they no longer counted.
Now, are you really going to vote for him?

She is so overloaded on kool aid that I used to cringe when she called butit has gotten better since I advised her that I own my vote and that I cannot afford Obama. They really beleive all of this stuff that he is peddling and if he by chance wins, Lord I pray not, there will be major disappointment for there is no way he can do what he has promised without raising taxes for everyone. Maybe the kool aid will be free. Also have lost a long time friend and I look at it if you are truly my friend my choice to vote as I desire would not cause any dissension between us.

” A Save Jersey source with the McCain Campaign reports that John McCain’s internals are looking good in the closest Rocky Mountain state. According to the most recent poll, Senator McCain has pulled within 1-point of Barack Obama in Battleground Colorado. ”

I have been a PUMA since Murphy started this. Thank you Murphy for all that you have done. I hope you realize what you have accomplished with Pumapac. I have so enjoyed meeting all my Puma friends and have enjoyed our fight to try and save our party.
I have NEVER in my life voted for a Republican, but tomorrow will be voting a straight Rep ticket. I did not come to this conclusion very easy. My family are all either turning over in their graves, or proudly screaming their support for me for putting my Country over my Party. I had a McCain sign and couldn’t bring myself to put it out in the yard until today. I have really struggled with this election. AFter much soul searching and lots of prayers and thoughts, I know without a doubt that I am doing the best thing. So today I came home and got my McCAin sign, and out to the front yard I went, and PROUDLY put it in the ground for all to see. Every Dem that has campaigned with me, I have always asked them who they support for President, they stutter and sound like Obie, so that makes my decision to vote against them so easy. I have told them that I will NOT vote for that empty suit and sexist man. You can see the shock on their faces. So I will NOT vote for any of the Democrats running in our great state of Kentucky. The Senate race has become like the President’s race. Outsiders are sending millions of dollars into our state to control our election here to elect the Democratic challenger of Mitch McConnell. More dirty politics and I ‘m sick of it all. I live in a county where it’s 90% of Democrats. Each day on my way to work, I have watched McCain/Palin signs springing up everywhere and I love it!!!!!
Win lose or draw, I will continue to be a Puma and am very thankful for my Puma family.

Dear Mary Kay,
As a Hillary supporter,I agree with you whole hardily.If she would have not been cheated in the primaries,Things would be so different right now.I am a first time ever in my 52 years,voting,NOT for Hillary,but for John McCain.She was the reason that I registered in the first place.It was so sad to see Hillary treated the way the Obama campaign did,and now the way they are treating Sarah, it’s awful.I hope and pray this Country can Heal from the Obamanation he has bestowed on Us.

(11/04/08) Five Reasons Obama Lost This Election (HillBuzz)
http://hillbuzz.wordpress.com/2008/1…this-election/
We truly believe if all of us continue to work as hard as possible tonight and tomorrow in get-out-the-vote efforts, and if we control the Eeyores in our midst and prevent the Obamedia from depressing turnout in our ranks, that McCain/Palin will win tomorrow decidedly — 286 to 252 in the electoral college – and we PUMAs will stand proud with all Republicans and Independents who joined us in this fight, because that’s what it really boils down to for us. We’ve been trying to stop Obama and his socialist takeover of this country for almost two years now. Living in Chicago, we KNOW who this man REALLY IS, and know how bad he and his policies would be for this country. So, the way we see it, Republicans are OUR REINFORCEMENTS, not the other way around, because Hillary’s Army has been giving this effort our all this whole time — with the rest of you coming on board since the start of the general election.
honora 11.03.08 at 8:40 pm
My daughter has to predict who will win the election for her history class. She went to the 2270towin site and of course came up with the thought that Obama would win. She told me that all the polls showed Obamba with a big lead. I told her that all the polls were fixed and that McCain would win all the states that Hillary had killed Obama in the primaries in. Once McCain takes Ohio, Pa. and Florida, then we can play with the others. Then she asked if I thought McCain would win. I told her I did, even though all the media says he will lose, I must admit that I felt a bit like a crazy person. But I still do believe. PUMAcrat. PS Murphy I usually just lurk here, but I want you to know that I think that you are the best and that you are a true Patriot. I am honored to be part of what you do.
KarlaforHillary 11.03.08 at 8:40 pm
It is so great to see people here tonight who I have not seen before!
I am from WI, which many of you know, and I will be voting for McCain/Palin. There are too many reasons to list, but you all know what they are. I really believe that McCain can win this election if the fraud is kept to a minimum. It is the fraud that has me worried.
I finally convinced my brother to vote McCain. I am still working on my mom, who hates O, but doesn’t want to vote republican. However, my sister and my in-laws will never put down the kool-aid. I have given up on them.
Tomorrow is going to be a long day. I am so glad that I have this blog and all of you to turn to. Thanks PUMAS.

dear Pumas- this will be the first time I have written on this blog- but it is not the first time that I have been here. I am a republican who respects and admires your determination and patriotism and love of country. I thank-you for allowing me to read your comments- too often we heard only the most radical fringe of our parties and did not realize how much we had in common. After this election is over we need to come together and speak in a voice that does not follow the radical left or right, but that looks to the dreams and hopes of the founding fathers and the patriots that fought for their (and our)rights and independence so long ago. We need to restore pride in being american, we need to stop saying we are sorry when we succeed, we need to stand up to tyrants and bullies, and we need to keep the voice that this election has given us. I end with this.
Patrick Henry on March 23, 1775
“If we wish to be free, if we mean to preserve inviolate those inestimable priviledges for which we have been so long contending- if we mean not basely to abandon the noble struggle in which we have been so long engaged, and which we have pledged ourselves never to abandon until the glorious object of our contest shall be obtained- we must fight- I repeat it, sir, we must fight.
Keep fighting Pumas- God bless you all.

Hello to all the Pumas!! Just wanted to drop in for a minute
to say what a journey!I just reread some of the posts from June 8th including my own. I said we will REMEMBER IN NOVEMBER…and here it is on the eve of the election and we have not forgotten. I sure hope the PUMA vote will keep nobo out of office. I will say that I do feel sorry for him tonight since his grandmother passed….but my vote goes all the way GOP this time for the first time in my life. Lots of my friends who were Hillary supporters drank the koolaide along the way, so it has been very comforting to have a group of like minded folks to meet up with.
Whatever happens….a new phase of the journey begins tomorrow and I am proud to be part of this den!! Thanks to Murphy and all the PUMAS. We will Prevail.

indy 11.03.08 at 8:45 pm
I just read a thread on how Obama, Axelrod and Mass. Governor Patrick knew of Auntie Z’s illegal status. It was published in American Spectator today. Here’s a small excerpt:
The main source on for the published article regarding the Obama campaign’s knowledge of Auntie Z’s situation is an employee at AKP&D Message and Media, which is a political consulting firm employed by the Obama campaign. A secondary source for the fact that the Obama campaign was well aware of the status of Obama’s family members is an Obama campaign media aide. The gist of the allegations is that in early 2007, David Axelrod, the crack chief strategist for the Obama campaign, ordered a full investigation of all of Obama’s family members to prepare/defend against possible political attacks regarding Obama’s family during the campaign.
http://centristnetblog.com/obama/november-surprise-auntie-z-story-takes-dramatic-turn/
It very well may be a November Surprise. Now if only the MSM will air it. It has Obama with Couric denying he knew of Auntie Z’s illegal status. Another big lie.
Read it, maybe we can spread it and email FOX and Friends or Greta.

Dear Pumas
I already wrote my thank you message to Murphy but I just wanted to say thank you to all the pumas from pumaPac out there for your incredible passion, your insight, tenacity, creativity, generosity, empathy, compassion. The list is endless.
You have made me laugh when I felt like crying, you have have brought sunshine when the skies were cloudy, you have challenged me to probe my position on many issues and you have encouraged me to go the extra mile in this election. I don’t post much because I am not fast enough to join in the conversations very often but I read a lot and have been so inspired by you to act at my own speed. Thank you wonderful pumas.
As someone said above, I plan on being here after tomorrow and am sending $50 by snailmail ($25 I promised earlier and an extra $25) to help keep the lights on.
I received a note from Lynn De Rothschild this morning asking me to pray. I am not a religious person but I am praying tonight! There are 2 votes from Hillary Democrats that are going for McCain/Palin tomorrow from my home. My calls to PA today were encouraging… one last push
Sending you all an enormous hug

On Lou Dobbs show tonight he commented on where were the republicans that all these damaging stories on BO are just coming out at the last minute. And Ed Rollins, repub strategist, said the republican game has been pratically nonexistent for this election compared to 2004. Lou asked him why – was it dislike of John McCain? He really didn’t answer, but made it clear that the repubs have been laying back and not helping McCain. That’s why we have had to work so hard to defeat this democrat who is so unsuited to be presdient.

WHEN ALL BALLOTS ARE DUE AND COUNTED
from GBPuma:
:::snip:::
… here is some information for all the states on when votes are counted. It may be ofinterest to you and the other PUMA’s to know that not all votes are counted on election night….there are many strange dates that some of the states count…especially early and absentee votes……..so no matter what the election night report is these late counts can make a difference to that … They don’t have to have a certified count until the delegates meet on Dec. 1st but most have a
15 day after election to have a certified count………so be prepared for recounts and battles for the next month unless John can win by 1,000,000 or more in each state…

Hey PUMAs — Maybe we’ll generate great PUMA karma for tomorrow if we go to the link below and vote for the Marston Chronicles article “McCain-Palin 310 Obama-Biden 228.” You’ll need to scroll down the page to get to it. I’m not sure how the RCP process for reader articles works, but maybe if it receives an overwhelming number of votes, RCP will have to move it up to the front page! Anyway, it makes me feel great just to read “prediction of a McCain-Palin landslide”! Thanks.

I made 20 phone calls tonight. 18 hung up on me. My gut going in to this is that technology has surpassed the traditonal polling method. We don’t have a land line. We use cell phones and the internet as a means of communication. I did talk to two former Hillary supporters and explained that I am a Hillary supporter as well. I gave the facts about obama- They really just wanted someone to talk to. I learned so much about how lonely they were and how outdated the polling system is. Neither one of the two ladies, both in their eighties, think they will be able to vote tomorrow. Just my thoughts and another reason not to believe the polls.

DWP 319- I got the same email…
I’m surprised that BO is asking CA voters to vote NO on 8 since he and Biden have said that they’re against gay marriage. He must be feeling (too) confident that he has the election “sealed” and doesn’t feel he needs the ‘fundamentalist’ conservatives.
I know our governor Arnold, a McCain supporter, totally backs the recent legalization of gay marriage in CA (which prop 8 is trying to overturn).
I do hope Californians turn down prop 8 to preserve marriage equality in CA!

Hi Murphy and Fellow Pumas,
I can’t believe this is it! The time has finally arrived when Evil will be defeated and Good triumph!! It will be history for me tomorrow in many ways. Most paramount for me, it will be the first time in 30+ years that I, a once loyal Democrat, vote for a Republican candidate. And not just on top, but a straight flush down ticket. I live in New Jersey and McCain may not win my state (although I feel there’s a small possibility he may)I want my vote to count toward the collective defeat of NOBO. Just this week I saw the HBO movie John Adams, which if you haven’t seen it is wonderful,and saw what our founding fathers went through to win our independence from England and the struggles they had forming the first government and constitution. It seemed so much like what Murphy and the Pumacrats are trying to do now and I think the time has come for a new party system in the US. The 2-party system is totally broken and offers no true choice for moderates in this country.
My biggest thrill tomorrow night will be to see the HORROR on the NOBONUTS’ faces when he goes down in flames. I can’t wait to see Chris Matthews, olberman, CNN bozos, and all the clowns. What a sight it will be!
I intend to remain a PUMA and support the cause after the election of John McCain and Sarah!!! WE WILL WIN TOMORROW!!!

I am new to this site. I am very nervous about tomorrow. I am black and cannot share my political views freely with most people that I know. I did vote early and to the dismay of many I voted for the McCain/Palin ticket. I am in my early 30’s and I do see the need for an experienced leader. I do not believe that BO is ready to lead this country without a herd of people around him. I do not believe that he will keep me and my family safe and I am just disgusted with people that are voting for him and really know nothing about what he represents.
Also, I am still P.O. at the way Hillary was treated. She can’t throw a bird at him…so we need to do it for her. PLEASE!
If the PUMAS can vote for a Republican, registered Republicans have no excuse to stay at home on tomorrow.
Let’s do this! We must have our voices heard and not fade into the background as the Democratic party wants us to do.
Also this is the only way that we will be able to get Hillary into office in 2012!
McCain/Palin- 2008
Hillary Clinton- 2012

The Gallup Poll aggregates for last week still show them polling 24% more Democrats than Republicans. And they show cross voters and independents favoring BO! Amazing. The BO machine is scairy. He has spent over $23 million on polling, while McCain spent around $2.

Do you all remember Maggie Williams from Hillary’s campaign? I always loved it when she would say “we will not be distracted”. Well, we can’t let ourselves be distracted now. Don’t pay attention to the polls or anyone on tv or radio that tries to tell us this election is over. This election is not over because Election Day is not even here yet. We will decide what the outcome of this election will be not the talking heads in the MSM. Look at how hard John McCain and Sarah Palin are campaigning. They certainly haven’t given up and you can tell by their actions and enthusiasm that they believe they can win this thing.

exDemMcvoter 11.03.08 at 9:09 pm
WA. (former) Dem here who is voting straight Republican this time around.
Personally, after witnessing for the past two years on C-span, the blow by blow accounts of this Democratic Congress bailing out Wall Street and kissing Bernankes’ a$$ (vs. MANY House Repubs. standing up for We the People against the abuses of WS) I came to the obvious conclusion that the Dems, despite what they SAY, are firmly for Big Money and could care less about us.
Then I found out about the Super Delegate bullsh*t, where they can change our votes if they think we haven’t “chosen wisely”.
Then I find out about Obama stealing the nomination from Hillary.
Then I witness the absolutely disgusting misogynistic behavior of the Dems and their supporters when Palin gets announced.
And the racist, divisionist spewing of the Dems which nobody in the leadership there seems to have any problem with at all.
And the fact that the Dems own the media and yet whine all the time about how they can’t get their message out.
AFAIC, the Dems have too many problems and have lied for too long (40 years?) as to what their motives are. I believe now that they are a totally and absolutely corrupt Party, so corrupt that they cannot possibly be redeemed.
My hope is that they will disappear into the dustbin of history and a new Party will appear on the scene.
Remember, there was no such thing as the Republican Party early on. They were formed to Right a Wrong, that is, get rid of Slavery.
So, when things get bad enough, we DO create new Parties and dissolve old ones in this country.
However! IF I was one of the PUMAs who still believed there was hope for the Dems, here’s where I’d start:
Get rid of the Super Delegates and straighten out the voting fraud within the Party. Without that, everything else is pointless.

Voter irregularity in Ohio:
Folks- I mailed by absentee ballot in two weeks ago from yesterday from the post office. Yesterday a canvassing neighbor told me that “you are on my list to contact. We haven’t received your ballot”. That made me feel rather icky, as who is watching my vote and whether it gets there or not?
But I did check with the Board of Elections and sure enough, my ballot was never received.
I went to Board of Election at lunch time and asked for another absentee ballot, as I was told to do by phone, and they told me that I needed to go to the polling booths tomorrow and ask for a provisional ballot because there is already “an absentee one floating around out there and my vote could count twice”.
Okay, so I contacted an election attorney friend of mine who said that there are many absentee ballots missing and it is an issue.
Funny, my friends who voted their straight party line aren’t missing, but a Dem voting Republican is…What does this mean?
Ohio? Are we talking more fraud here?
At first I was pissed that someone was monitoring my voting – he obviously was concerned because he knows me to be a Democrat and he was wearing his Obama T-shirt. I didn’t say anything about who I voted for….I’m glad he tipped me off that my vote is missing, but am still thinking – wtf? I don’t want to be watched over like this.

Good evening, PUMAs. Just want to relate something interesting. I keep getting calls from the Obama campaign and keep telling them just how I will vote. They obviously don’t take no for an answer. Today I’m pretty sick – the flu, I think, and even if I feel bad tomorrow, I’m going to vote. Got a call from the Obama campaign and they left a message reminding me when my polling place was opened tomorrow and if I needed a ride, they could arrange it.
Now I’m tempted, because I’m sick, to ask them for that ride, and wear my Democratics for McCain button…I’d love to get some BO supporters trapped in a car for 15 minutes and fill them with the truth…however, they’d probably leave me at the polling place, so I think I’ll just drive myself (and maybe give all those BO supporters the flu)

Obama Has Links to ANOTHER ’60s Radical
Barack Obama has consistently sought to distance himself from former domestic terrorist Bill Ayers. But it’s a different story with another student radical from the 1960s — Marilyn Katz — who is actually on Obama’s fundraising team.
Katz, a public relations executive in Chicago, serves on Obama’s national finance committee. She is listed as a fundraising “bundler” on his Web site, has hosted fundraisers for the candidate, and attended the Democratic Convention as part of the Illinois delegation.
But during the violent protests of the 1968 Democratic National Convention in Chicago, Katz was the security chief for the radical Students for a Democratic Society (SDS), which spawned Ayers and the Weather Underground.
During those protests, Katz advocated throwing studded nails in front of police cars, the Chicago Tribune reported.
In 1969, an undercover policeman named William Frapolly testified at the “Chicago Seven” trials, and prosecutors asked him to describe his collaboration with organizers of the protest the previous year.
He testified that one night in Chicago’s Lincoln Park, Katz briefed a group of protesters on the use of “guerilla nails.
”
“She had two types,” he told the court.
“One was a cluster of nails that were sharpened at both ends, and they were fastened in the center. It looked like they were welded or soldered. She said these were good for throwing or putting underneath tires.
“She showed another set that was the same type of nails sharpened at both ends, but they were put through a Styrofoam cylinder.” //
===========
South, those are called “caltrops”. They were used historically against mounted troops (horses), but work fine against tires and boots, too. 4 points in a pyramid, 3 always down, one always up.
Let’s refer to her as “Caltrop Katz”!!
Lorelai 11.03.08 at 9:10 pm
I meant to say that my friends who followed their party lines ballots were received just fine, but someone like me who departed from the party line, has a missing ballot. Wonder if there is pattern? I’m just saying….
GBPuma 11.03.08 at 9:10 pm
No matter what the pundits say tomorrow night about the vote do not be surprised if it ends up to be a “Dewey beats Truman” with a bit of Bush legalizing thrown in for good measure…I don’t know if it’s been uploaded yet but I sent the actioncenter a listing of all the states and when they count the votes and absentee votes….many are strange and many don’t count some until 10 days after the election. So there is still many days to go before there is a solid result…..but on a different note I have done the astro charts for both and will not give the full information until tomorrow night as per tradition with me…….but I can tell you this that It is a very traumatic year ahead for Obama and his Grandmother’s death was just the start of his troubles……and It is a happy day tomorrow for McCain and a very happy day on Jan. 20th…..BUT the charts are not showing an absolute winner that is why it may be a “Dewey beats Truman” headline…so stay tuned….
As far as Puma we have just begun. We came together to bring democracy back to the Democratic Party and the USA and that is a very long road we have yet to travel….the Revolution has just begun and tomorrow will just be the start of the process we have so much more to do as a permanent on the political landscape….
SO vote and keep promoting democracy tomorrow and give anyone that needs a ride and get them to the polls also be vigilant and safe. The worst thing that can happen tomorrow is voter apathy because they believe Obama already is the winner and don’t get to the polls….so make the calls and help anyone get there especially the elderly and prepare for a very long week….after that take a month off to recuperate and recenter and purge all that nasty Obama crude from your soul so that we can start fresh and invigorated for the fight for Democracy and the soul of American………….

Thanks for sharing and thank you for voting for McCain.

I was a big supporter for Hillary in the primary, volunteered many hours-so Saturday I got together with “old” friends that are still working for the party and went to Hillary’s rally. Well, let me tell you they are WORRIED!!! The “internal” polls Murphy spoke about yesterday– they are correct and OB camp is in trouble….they know this is going to be very close.

I wasn’t trying to say he’s wonderful or anything (that Arnold guy… don’t ask me to spell his last name!)
I know he’s made statements like that in the past (and also pro-gay statements)… but he did say that he would totally back the Supreme Court ruling which made gay marriage legal in CA (don’t recall exact words). So at least that’s something.
There’s a lot of propaganda to get people to vote yes on 8… Hope people don’t listen and vote NO!

NoHillaryNoVote 11.03.08 at 9:24 pm
Gosh – that McCain has really been on fire in these last few days at his rallies. He is so energetic and focused. I don’t think any commentator can talk about his age as a factor in his ability to be President. He shows no tiredness whatsoever.
I love his fighting spirit. He has not weakened, he has not given up, he has not let the pundits & polls upset his temperment.
I made calls today and people seem more interested in talking about McCain as compared to the past. Those who have not voted as yet are giving deep thought to their decision and asking questions that I don’t recall they were asking before.
It must be hard for McCain to have some of his own republican pundits on tv saying dumb stuff & appearing to give in to the mainstream hype and believing the lies. When they (his own pundits) start talking that stupid talk that it’s impossible for McCain, I just push the mute. Those republican pundits should be on these shows telling people there is still time to vote rather than crying the blues. They should all be fired for not being strong and remaining positive!
We all know that It’s never over until the votes are counted!
I’ll be in line at the polls tomorrow to vote – and I’ll stay there rain or cold – no matter how long it takes to cast my vote for McCain-Palin.
I’m with the other Pumas who have said they voted a straight republican ballot in order to send a message to the democratic party. My vote will be ALL republican as a protest of the DNC – and specifically against Reid, Brazile, Pelosi, Dean & Frank.
No matter how this election ends – as a long time Democrat, I do not have any confidence in the DNC gang or Obama.

Some good news Pumas, in case this hasn’t been posted yet! (5:26 p.m.today)
Breaking from Newsmax.com
Fox Poll: McCain Tied in Key States
A just-released Fox News poll of 1,000 voters in each of six key states shows Republican presidential candidate Sen. John McCain making major last minutes strides to pull even with his Democratic rival, Sen. Barack Obama.
While Obama leads in two of the battlegrounds states, the candidates are now tied, or within 1 point of each other, in four others, according to the Rasmussen Reports survey.
In Ohio, one of the states that McCain’s supporters believe they have to win, McCain has pulled dead even. Obama and McCain are now tied in Ohio, at 49 percent apiece.
Here are the results from the Fox News poll:
Colorado
Obama 51
McCain 47
Florida
McCain 50
Obama 49
Missouri
Obama 49
McCain 49
N. Carolina
McCain 50
Obama 49
Ohio
Obama 49
McCain 49
Virginia
Obama 51
McCain 47
The poll has a plus or minus margin of error of 3 percent.

It is amazing. I have been over at TEAM SARAH and as wonderful as these people are they just don’t have the fire that PUMAS do. I now republicans are more contained then dems but, they need to be fired up.
As an example. I started there yesterday and was able to get 39 friends and about 15 pending. Most people I have seen have less than four.
Some really rock but most are little too laid back. They are all great though. Wish I had known about that place earlier.

I spoke to a friend of mine in Brooklyn today – hadn’t heard from him in a while. At first he was cautious about saying anything and only said that he can’t wait til this horrible election was over with. Finally we talked and apparently, he is a PUMA but doesn’t know it and he’s been alone with all the ‘bots in NYC who have been making him feel like he’s crazy because he has doubts about BO.
What was interesting is that he seems to have come across all the information on BO that we’ve gotten, so this is getting out to people. His partner however, is a Bot and it’s created quite a rift between them. He said he was so glad to talk to me. He also has heard of us and I told him to check us out, gave him the link to this website. I told him he was indeed not alone, that there are many, many of us who have never voted republican, but were going to do it this time because BO had to be stopped.
There are people who aren’t taken in by BO – I suspect many of them have remained silent, but will speak tomorrow.

He really didn’t answer, but made it clear that the repubs have been laying back and not helping McCain. That’s why we have had to work so hard to defeat this democrat who is so unsuited to be president.”

iguessimapuma 11.03.08 at 9:32 pm
Nevermore- Thanks for the words of encouragement. I think they could tell in the primaries that I supported Hillary. I attended the caucus in TX and let me tell you that was one big unorganized mess. There is no way in He#$ a winner could be determined. There was a large crowd with no one overseeing and the person that understood the caucus rules was the leader. Some people were reading information that they recieved on the internet. Others had their own sign in sheets. The person that had the loudest speaking voice was the leader. WTH! It was a mess I tell you. I called and complained to the Dem party because if Hillary lost the caucus vote in TX …which she did…it was stolen from her. They ignored me and told me basically to suck it up. It’s just one of many reasons that I am ticked with them.
I wanted Hillary to win sooo badly that I literally cried. I did not want her to give up. It must hurt her so badly to rally for a person that disrespected her so and she knows that she is the person for the job. Aww..I feel like crying right now just thinking how the election was stolen from her.
Casper Cat 11.03.08 at 9:32 pm

Arnie changed his tune after CA handed him his a$$ by voting resounding NO NO NO and NO on his #1mil 4 Propositions folly. After that he booted his republican advisors and hired a lesbian Democrat.
Arnie is ambition but he’s made a mess of CA ($12, or is $14 billion in debt, after Gray Davis held the ongoing debt at $2 billion for all the years he was in office.)
I don’t like Arnie…
and I don’t believ gays and lesbians are looking for “that’s something” , although I get your point.
Since when do we vote on citizen’s equal civil rights?

I live in a very solid blue state (Illinois).
What about voting Green party? I hear this would make it easier for Greens to be on the ballot automatically next election. Might they also get some public campaign funds?
Does anyone have any thoughts about voting third party?
Nope. Find a friend in a swing state who’s reluctant to vote M-P, and offer to vote Green (or whatever) for her/him in return for her/him voting M-P for you.
PS. Don’t keel over in shock if McCain takes Illinois, too. The AOL Straw Poll is running 51 – 48 for him right now.

Maybe those of you who can stay up can go blog on Repub sites and try to shame them into getting out to vote and encouraging all their friends and families to do so as well. You know, tell them how we have been scorned by our party and have worked our butts off to help their party’s candidate and the LEAST they could do is get out and vote for him. Just a thought.

The 2008 Presidential betting odds have been posted by the World-wide leaders in Online Sports, Casino and Racebook wagering; Sportsbook.com, BetUS, BodogLife, LooseLines, SportsBetting.com and SBG Global. All the sportsbooks have updated their odds and now is the time to place your bets on your favorite candidate! The race is down to the final two democratic and republic candidates and if you were thinking about betting on John McCain, now is the best time ever as his odds dropped considerably. Sportsbook.com posts the best odds on Senator John McCain with +600 odds (a $100 wager pays out $600) and SBG Global posts the best odds for Senator Barack Obama at -850 odds (a $850 wager pays out $100)!
wow this might be some easy money. $100 bet right now gives $500 profit and $100 bet back or $600 but I think they charge a commission on the money. Not sure I never bet. But if we PUMA are so sure of winning that is a good payday.

Election
This Year’s Election,
Is to close to call,
But let’s hope O’bama
Will miserably fall
Let’s hope McCain
Will rise to the top,
We want him for president,
Cause O’bama’s a flop
O’bama’s a cheater,
And a liar, it’s true,
Let’s hope most states,
Want McCain too
Biden is awful,
But Palin is great
Let’s hope she wins votes,
In all of the states
I wish you good luck,
In the election that goes,
McCain is the best,
And everyone knows!! (written by my daughter for her support)

Vote for Gillibrand. Anyone who voted against that last bailout deserves your full support.
There was enormous pressure from Bernanke, Paulson, Foreign Governments (bond holders), Wall Street, the Big Banks.
Any Congressperson or Senator who voted against that bailout is a person who is FIRMLY in Your Corner, as against the Big Money interests.
God, I wish I had even one Congressperson or Senator who voted anti- bailouts.
And please, after you vote for him, call him up and tell him it was a Thankyou for standing on the side of you and your family vs. Big money and Foreign Governments.
This is how we get and keep politicians who care about our interests. We vote for them when they do extraordinary things that our in our interests.
EVERY SINGLE POLITICIAN who voted for the bailout KNOWS it was for Wall Street and NOT Main Street. Every single one.

dew 11.03.08 at 7:21 pm
Question for the board:
I am will be voting for McCain tomorrow morning in upstate NY. But for our congressional race I find myself quite torn. Kirsten Gillibrand (D), the incumbent is running against Sandy Treadwell (R-male). So should I vote the 30% solution or vote for the Republican to hope to offset Dem gains in the house. Gillibrand has not been a bad Congressperson- even voted against the bailout. Thoughts?
I don’t know if you are still around to read my response, but I equally share your concern how to vote. I am also from Upstate NY and felt that Gillibrand actually is essentially a good Democrat and not only voted against the bailout she was also a Hillary supporter. However, as all the NY SD’s did her delegate vote went to Obama (so to speak as Hillary called it when New York came up at the convention). However, it was still shown that all SD’s would have crossed over.
NYS is believed to go blue. Although all of these polls are not revealing any accuracy especially of recent, there has been some indication that it may be a sway state or even go red.
I have given it considerable thought. I am now leaning towards going red down the ticket. Bottom line, no matter who is POTUS it’s which party that controls the house, it is which party that controls the Senate that seals the deals on all legislation, laws and policies – if they (one party over another)have full control. We need to make sure that we have some tpye of balance of the two parties to help bring some degree of checks and balances. And it is for that reason that Gillibrand may not get my vote tomorrow. If I wasn’t so concerned about such a large majority of the party I am still affiliated with I would have voted for her without a second thought. I will only know for sure what I will do when I place my vote(s)tomorrow.

:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
Persuasive POINTS related to the AYERS ISSUE:
:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
- For years Obama worked closely with Bill Ayers, an unrepentant domestic terrorist. Ayers (w/the Weathermen) wrote Prairie Fire in 1974, a Communist Manifesto which advocates violent overthrow of the “establishment.” He dedicated the book to (among others) the man who assassinated Robert Kennedy! Ayers also traveled to Cuba to help Castro’s Communist regime.
- The relationship between Ayers and BO goes much deeper and longer than we’ve been led to believe.
Obama launched his political career in Ayer’s living room.
Ayers and Obama were in boards and conferences together.
Ayers wrote a book in 1997 in which he mentions BO and for which BO wrote a review in a Chicago newspaper!
- Bill Ayers, along with his Weathermen buddies, bombed federal buildings.
Deaths and near-deaths resulted from the Weathermen’s activities. And Ayers said, right after 9-11, that he did not regret any of it and wished he would have done more!
The only difference between Bill Ayers and Timothy McVeigh is the death toll!
- The court case against Ayers was thrown out of court because of misconduct by investigators (and his daddy’s wealth sure helped!).
If Ayers would have been given a proper trial, he’d probably still be in jail!
Have we gone nuts in 2008? In the past, we would have never even considered someone with such a shady history as Obama!
- How can we put someone in the White House to deal with terrorism who hung out with an unrepentant terrorist for so many years?
How can we elect someone to be our Commander In Chief who, for years, was so closely associated with an unrepentant terrorist?
- Imagine if McCain had been associated with someone who had bombed abortion clinics… Imagine the media attacks and outcry, and how utterly un-electable that would have made him!
-> The Liberal-leaning MSM and the Obama camp have tended to downplay and ‘explain away’ just about every ‘negative’ that has come out about BO… Their distortions and ‘propaganda’ have not allowed most Americans to see who the real Barack Obama is!

Okay, since it’s out there on the blog, here goes. Erin Davisson is the news anchor for WFRV channel 5 in Green Bay. She apparently included me in her ‘reply all’ response to my e-mail sending the coal videos to the media list TT posted earlier. What I noticed about Davisson’s response was that she really didn’t refute what BO said in the videos, but was obviously defending him, almost campaigning for him. In fact, at the end, she said “Thanks for your interest, and remember to vote tomorrow,” as though the other media people who had received my e-mail had asked her for her opinion. To me, her reply is a blatant violation of journalistic ethics. She didn’t identify herself in her reply. I e-mailed her and asked who she was. This is what she replied: “This response was sent in error. It was excerpted from another e-mail received earlier today and was meant for background purposes on election day.”

I told him I was on of them.
He was shocked. “No kidding? What do you think about all this?”

………………………………..
The Obama-Ayers Relationship TIMELINE:
………………………………..
1983/1984 – Obama and William Ayers may have met through their Columbia University studies (though BO graduated right before Ayers began) [see TXRepGirl’s response to my last version of this post].
1985 – Obama leaves NYC for Chicago to work at the organization Developing Communities Project, an organization that is supported and funded by William Ayers and his father, Thomas Ayers… It’s possible that Obama got this job through Ayers.
1987 – There is a reported meeting between Obama and Ayers which some think may have been their first [but see above entries].
1988 – Ayers solicits Khalid Al-Mansour to raise money for Obama’s Harvard law School education
1989 – Tom Ayers and William Ayers get Obama a summer job at Sidley & Austin (where he meets Michelle Obama); Ayers’ wife Bernadine Dohrn also worked at Sidley at about the same time as Barack and Michelle.
1993 – Ayers puts Obama on the Woods Foundation
1995 – Ayers makes Obama Chairman of Annenberg Challenge (to “reform education”). They work together for years channeling a lot of the money raised to radical groups and to “radicalize students.”
1995 – Ayers hosts a coffee klatch to help launch Obama’s political career (Obama falsely claims this is when he met Ayers)
1997 – Ayers wrote a book in which he mentions Obama and for which Obama wrote a review in a Chicago newspaper
2001 – Ayers and Obama were in a conference together… A week or so before the conference, Ayers said in an interview that he is a Marxist and an Anarchist.
2008 – Obama, when asked about his relationship with Ayers, tells a national TV audience he was just a kid when Ayers bombed federal buildings, and that they are only casual neighborhood acquaintances.

Tomorrow night, I might not be here PUMAS, I’ll be with some people who’ll watch election returns. I’ve no idea what time I’d be home but I think would be real late in the evening.
To my fellow PUMAS and lurkers, thank you very much for your hard work. NObama cannot win when AT LEAST 16% of Democrats will stay at home and another 17% will vote for McCain.
Tomorrow midnight we’ll have a new President, whoever that would be, we all must work hard to right what was wrong in our democratic process. We must abolish caucuses across the board.

BREAKING NEWS: TROOPERGATE
by Greta Van Susteren
Governor Sarah Palin CLEARED. See note from my FNC colleague Dan Springer
From: Springer, Dan
Sent: Monday, November 03, 2008 7:21 PM
To:
Subject: Urgent
Personnel Board investigator assigned to look into Troopergate, found
no probable cause that Palin violated the state’s ethics law.
This is reversal of legislative investigation which concluded she had
abused her power. //

So, now the smear is un-smeared! If only it worked that way…

When I first came here I came because I felt I had been violated by the Democratic party. I felt I had been used and tossed aside as though I were nothing – unimportant. I needed to do something and I found this site. It gave me a purpose – a purpose that will carry on no matter what happens tomorrow. Thank you my Puma family.

catsarepumas 11.03.08 at 10:04 pm
a friend sent me this; I hope it doesn’t offend anyone and I hope it makes someone smile:
THIS IS A NONPARTISAN JOKE THAT CAN BE ENJOYED BY BOTH PARTIES!
NOT ONLY THAT– it is POLITICALLY CORRECT!!
While walking down the street one day a US senator is tragically hit by
a truck and dies.
His soul arrives in heaven and is met by St. Peter at the entrance.
‘Welcome to heaven,’ says St. Peter. ‘Before you settle in, it seems
there is a problem. We seldom see a high official around these parts,
you see, so we’re not sure what to do with you.’
‘No problem, just let me in,’ says the man.
‘Well, I’d like to, but I have orders from higher up. What we’ll do
is have you spend one day in hell and one in heaven. Then you
can choose where to spend eternity.’
‘Really, I’ve made up my mind. I want to be in heaven,’ says th e
senator.
‘I’m sorry, but we have our rules.’
And with that, St. Peter escorts him to the elevator and he goes
down, down, down to hell. The doors open and he finds himself
in the middle of a green golf course. In the distance is a clubhouse
and standing in front of it are all his friends and other politicians
who had worked with him.
Everyone is very happy and in evening dress. They run to greet him,
shake his hand, and reminisce about the good times they had while
getting rich at the expense of the people.
They play a friendly game of golf and then dine on lobster, caviar
and champagne.
Also present is the devil, who really is a very friendly guy who
has a good time dancing and telling jokes. They are having such a
good time that before he real izes it, it is time to go.
Everyone gives him a hearty farewell and waves while the elevator
rises…
The elevator goes up, up, up and the door reopens on heaven where St.
Peter
is waiting for him.
‘Now it’s time to visit heaven.’
So, 24 hours pass with the senator joining a group of contented souls
moving from cloud to cloud, playing the harp and singing. They have a
good time and, before he realizes it, the 24 hours have gone by and St.
Peter returns.
‘Well, then, you’ve spent a day in hell and another in heaven. Now
choose your eternity.’
The senator reflects for a minute, then he answers: ‘Well, I would
never have said it before, I mean heaven has been delightful, but
I think I would be better off in hell.’
So St. Peter escorts him to the elevator and he goes down, down,
down to hell.
Now the doors of the elevator open and he’s in the middle of a
barren land covered with waste and garbage.
He sees all his friends, dressed in rags, picking up the trash and
putting it in black bags as more trash falls from above.
The devil comes over to him and puts his arm around his shoulder.
‘I don’t understand,’ stammers the senator. ‘Yesterday I was here
and there was a golf course and clubhouse, and we ate lobster and
caviar, drank champagne, and danced and had a great time. Now
there’s just a wasteland full of garbage and my friends look miserable.
What happened?’
The devil looks at him, smiles and says, ‘Yesterday we were campaigning.. .
Today you voted.

I live in upstate NY and have seen very few political ads. We are a solid blue state (unfortunately). But I just saw the Rev. Wright ad on the Binghamton station. I am guessing aimed at PA which is just over the border. Nice to know there is really a race going on. Here in NY you would think that the election is already over
NObamaDem 11.03.08 at 10:11 pm
Well my fellow Pumas. I’ve spent the evening researching all PA candidates from US Congress through local. I have my list in hand. I will be early to rise tomorrow to get to the polls before off to work. Wow, what a ride. I’m feeling sort of dreamlike right now, like can this really be almost over. But alas the time is here. And at the top of my voting list is the duo of McCain/Palin. This will be my first repug vote in over 20 years.
Pumas. We’re all in this together. And no matter what happens, we can surely be proud of what we’ve accomplised as a group over these past sooo many months. Through all the ups and downs we stood steadfast in our resolve, we’ve fought the good fight. No matter what, we’ve kept the faith and we will continue to do so.
God bless Pumas! And God bless our great nation!
G’night all. See you all tomorrow night.

Again,thank you Murphy..no matter what happens tomarrow our work is not done-the Democrrat Party needs cleaning up, I wonder if it is even salvageable.

CALL to ALL PUMA’s – Particularly in CA, WA, OR, VT, CT, NJ, NY, NH, IL, and MA -
Considering that your State has been Blue most of your adult life, this Texan calls upon you to disprove the MSM, Sexism, Misogyn and all the falsehood that has been the stolen primary and an attempted steal at the GE and vote for the only individual that will let you argue and disagree without any truth squads or such bullying irrationals.
This Cat call is a honest one particularly in the wake of the COAL INDUSTRY BANKRUPTCY call made by the MESSIAH. With the electrical charges that he is trying to raise, you guys stand a chance to dole out every penny in mindless and impossibly stupid governance policy.
McCain is a ticket, given the choices you have the most plausible one that can help sustain your life the way you do now unless you want the change for the worse.
Well, to sum up, I have absolutely no doubt what I have said may be known to you but when you do pull the lever tomorrow just think of what I said and make this Texan PUMA proud…

A big thank you for creating and growing this site and the movement!
I feel oddly calm tonight…maybe because I’m not watching ANY TV, even tho I’m glad to hear that Palin’s been cleared of wrongdoing and that there’s a video of Obama explaining how he’d bankrupt the coal industry.
Tn Guerilla Women has a post up on how most of the undecided voters are women! No one’s mentioning gender because they’re trying to pretend conflicted PUMAs don’t exist.
And SouthJersey, I know how you feel….my friend and his wife have been emailing me for three days now, trying to convince me to vote for Obama . It kills me to see the garbage that they’ve absorbed. (She was for Hillary and he actually brainwashed her before the primary was over….they bought that “Clintons were racist and ran a dirty campaign” crap!!) One night he emailed me for almost 4 hours.
OK, off to listen to some blog radio. I haven’t yet heard the show over at The New Agenda.

Finally, with regard to going forward – my two cents for today: http://tdg.typepad.com/heidi_lis_potpourri/2008/11/resolved.html
“Resolved: to continue to refuse to accept that we must live with a politics awash in private money;
Resolved: to hold the media accountable and demand that they provide full information regardless of the editorial tilt of owners, editors, or reporters.
Resolved: to continue to refuse to accept so-called progressive or liberal leaders who do not make the issues of sexism and misogyny front and central in the fight for a more just America;
Resolved: to demand reform of the Democratic Party and particularly its leadership, or, in the alternative, work to form a rival to the current DNC if reform is unattainable;
Resolved: to make sure that the pipeline to elected political leadership is flooded with talented women, so many that eventually no major party will be able to refuse support for a woman at the top of the ticket;
Resolved: to make sure that whatever the results of the general election, Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton’s political power is enhanced and her unprecedented dedication to her own commitments is recognized both within the Democratic Party and across America.
Resolved: to use the skills and connections forged this season, including the fundraising skills, to support the aforementioned goals.”

Man, that “Rev.” Wright “Church” ad is now.
I gotta say, I’ve been to many, many Black Churches in my life and I’ve NEVER seen a “worship” service like that one.
Not. Even. Close.
Yeah, that’s a “Church”,…ahuh…
I’m thinking that part of the problem here is that too many non-Black Americans have never been to a Black church, so when they saw that rev. Wright bullsh*t a several months back, they had nothing to compare it to or thought it was excusable, plausible, whatever.
I wouldn’t be at all surprised if Oblahblah loses more than a few BLACK votes over that BS “church”.

I was catching up reading downstairs, so please forgive me if this has been posted already. The straight ticket vote is a rumor. It’s has been all over the news in Austin. It was such a rumor here that they have a sign up at the voting place not to ask anyone in line for info on how to vote, only from the people in charge. One guy here was spreading this rumor while in line, but he took off in his car before they could catch him. I don’t know about other places, but please find out before you vote and post info like this online.

1981 The Brinks Robbery by the Weather Underground (Bill Ayers group) and the Black Liberation Army where police and security guards were killed in a bank heist.
(This shows that Obama wasn’t “8″ when Ayers did these despicable things. Nor was it decades from that time to when they most likely met.)

Ok first letter from “Davisson, Erin”
The only thing is, it isn’t true
Obama didn’t say he was out to bankrupt coal mines. What he was saying
is, that with current emissions standards, coal mine owners would go
bankrupt because of the issues of greenhouse emission. He then went on
to say that the U.S. operating without coal was “an illusion,” and
therefore the best solution is to promote clean coal technology – ways
of reducing emissions and allowing coal companies to meet emissions
standards and stay in business.
His comments are being taken entirely out of context by choosing one
half of a statement and not the other. In other words, they’re turning
the truth into a lie. This was never a gaffe. He’s not out to destroy
the coal industries. It’s a sad attempt by McCai nand Palin to use fear
tactics to draw voters.
What the McCain camp is not giving you from the original tape: Obama:
“But this notion of no coal, I think, is an illusion. Because the fact
of the matter is is that right now we are getting a lot of our energy
from coal. And China is building a coal-powered plant once a week. So
what we have to do then is figure out how can we use coal without
emitting greenhouse gases and carbon.” Obama Passed An Amendment
Supported by Biden To Add $200M For Carbon Capture And Sequestration
Technology In Senate’s FY 2008 Budget. Obama was the chief sponsor of an
amendment to the 2008 Senate Budget resolution that added $200 million
for Function 270 (Energy) for the demonstration and monitoring of carbon
capture and sequestration technology by the Department of Energy. [SA
599 to SCR 21, Agreed to by Unanimous Consent,
And you might want to read this, from the American Coalition for Clean
Coal Electricity.

Tomorrow is our grand Graduation Day! Tomorrow is the day we proud PUMA’s complete the most successful course to victory.
Tomorrow is the day the IVY league guys and all the elitist that mocked at a Governor that studied in 5 / 6 colleges will be left to east dust at Liberty Park.
Tomorrow is the day the Republicans will and should first acknowledge the PUMA power.
Tomorrow is the day I would get a glimpse of HRC showing up again in her true self and in the coming days she will be back in full throttle for a truely first time bi-partisan effort to tie hands with Liebermann and McCain with (my guess) more to follow.
Like a lot of you I am confident about tomorrow.
Just hang on and relish in the glory!

Dr Dean,
I am protesting the 2008 election for too many reasons to count, but fore-most is the blatant back stabbing of the Clintons. Bill and Hillary are the best thing for the party in my adult lifetime, he was the first 2 term D in decades and she is off the charts smart & ready day one but we all know (GWB) that smarts don’t count when it comes to selecting a Prez.
I support Hillary for my great grandmother, who 100 years ago had everything including the land her name, my grand mother, a woman way ahead of her time as well and my mother who raised 5 kids on a blue collar salary. All have left this earth and are not only whispering but screaming to me from the other side for Hillary!!!!

“Davisson, Erin” (second letter she sent)
9:53pm
Sorry about sending this out to you – it was meant as background for me, so I would have two opposing viewpoints on the same page. If you do a Google search, you can find both viewpoints – and people from coal who support McCain, and Obama.
The letter was an excerpt from a blog/letter I found online – I didn’t write it. Was just trying to get stuff together before election day, and apparently doing it way too fast. We get dozens and dozens of letters each day on politics.
What I meant to send out to you was this http://www.factcheck.org/
And from that website’s viewpoint, , both the candidates have told plenty of whoppers. J
Take care, and best wishes.

McCain-Palin Campaign Launches Honest and Open Election Hotline
ARLINGTON, VA — The McCain-Palin campaign launched the Honest and Open Election hotline to help citizens learn the location of their polling place, as well as report any instances of irregularities at the polls, including voter fraud, intimidation, violence and electioneering. The hotline can be accessed via phone at: 866-976-VOTE.
“With the tomorrow’s election, our Honest and Open Election hotline will serve as an informative guide for all Americans participating in the electoral process,” said McCain-Palin National Political Director Mike DuHaime. “The hotline will allow us to learn about and take steps toward remedying any voter irregularities at polling places across the country. While we are hopeful that Election Day will be free of any wrongdoing, allies of the Democrat Party, such as ACORN, have shown a willingness to commit fraud in both this election cycle and in 2004. Given the tightness of the polls, all examples of fraud must be addressed to preserve the integrity of the election.”
In 2004, multiple forms of voter fraud occurred, including voter intimidation, fraudulent registrations, multiple ballots cast and votes bought for money. Already during the 2008 election cycle, a dead woman in Missouri cast an absentee ballot, individuals were arrested for voting twice in Florida and people in Ohio registered and voted on the same day.

Then, a minute or two later, she sent the following reply to the entire list from my original e-mail, and included her name on it (like a CYA or something):

TXRepGirl 11.03.08 at 10:39 pm
no1what #551. No. Repubs are not high on McCain because of his stance on illegal immigration and campaign finance laws. They were afraid of something like O sprang this year happening where he just opted out, and it hamstrings the other candidate. McCain has taken some very unpopular stands in the Repub party, but then again, I guess that pretty much proves that whole Maverick thing. (He was for the surge LONG before Bush/Repubs; he was totally AGAINST torture in ANY situation…) He was not high on Repubs lists from the beginning. Sarah is what changed that.

ARIZONA: Vote No on 102
CONNECTICUT: Vote No on Question 1
ARKANSAS: Vote No on Act 1
http://leftandrightpolitics.com/freedom-to-marry/
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Not positive what NO means but I can guess the ammendment is trying to limit marriage to only men and women. That is not proper. Marriage for gays should be legal. We must have our personal life and allow other people the freedom to live their life without us telling them what they can and can not do. if they want to get married then fine. If I decide to get married them fine. that is my choice and their choice. I will not interfer in their choice and they will not interfer in my choice. Both of us will be able to have life liberty and the pursuit of happiness. If I restrict your freedom to pursue happiness that is wrong for me. I must give you the freedom to choose and then I will expect that you will give me the freedom to choose. this freedom is LOVE which is God.

Independent PUMA. Here since the day Hillary shut down her campaign. I quit sending her money that day and began sending money to McCain.
I’m in NJ and I am hoping the Hillary backers who brought in NJ for Hillary, only to have Gov Corzine take away every one of those delegates and give them ALL to Obama at the DNC, will remember that on Nov. 4th.
My prayer tonight is that no matter what they have said or thought since June, they will remember what happened to their vote at the DNC in August.
Then they will remember how they felt and vote McCain.
My last Dem vote was for Gov Corzine, who began breaking everyone of his promises within a month of getting into office.
Payback time. Straight republican ticket tomorrow.
If the Dems ever want my Independent vote again, Something really big has to change.
If Puma starts a party, I’ll think about joining a party.
In the meantime: McCain/Palin 2008

Re your post, “Voter irregularity in Ohio,” that is very disturbing, indeed. Please let us know how this gets resolved.
p.s. It also makes me a bit nervous. Oregon, where I live, is all vote by mail. It always votes blue, but w/all the voter fraud I’ve been hoping more states will go to vote-by-mail. From all I have read, it is more fraud-proof.
Comments? ?
TXRepGirl 11.03.08 at 10:56 pm
On being strangely calm, me too. Did not expect that at all, but when I saw so many states absolutely TIED, I know enough about the polls and how desparately they try to use the polls to call it OVER! It’s over! In ‘04, right before I went to vote, they were saying Kerry had an “insurmountable lead” of 13 points. I very well remember Rush Limbaugh pleading with us to not listen to the polls and go out and VOTE. He was right. Bush won by 3. That’s a 16 point swing.
Tomorrow do not listen to the polls. When O is up by some un-Godly number, do not believe them. GO VOTE, and get out anyone else you can!
Also, if you understand exit polling (which I got a crash course in in ‘04), you know that 65% of Dems will talk to an exit pollster but only 35% of Repubs will. That necessarily INFLATES the Dem side of the poll. The polls are not to be believed. Same with the media. Understand that they have staked EVERYTHING–their credibility going forward, their integrity, their careers–on an Obama win. If he loses, they stand to lose FAR MORE than just the election. They will be reporting as such.
The watch words tomorrow are: Understand what’s going on, breathe and keep yourself at peace, and see as much as you can through the smoke. And most of all… PRAY! (Right after you VOTE!)

AOL poll, interesting. I can find the current poll all right, but I can’t find any stats online, except bloggers who are claiming it shows consistent 60% McCain victories.
But yes, I do see the problem with an “ideological” third party spoiler vote “against” someone as opposed to voting for someone who has a genuine chance of winning.

I have been voting democrat for 36 years. Today I voted republican for the first time. I did not give it a second thought. This is my first time writing in (on any blog)and want to let everyone know how much I appreciate reading your stories and learning about your thoughts. This has been a huge eye opener for both my husband(also voting republican for the first time)and myself. Unfortunatly he is the only one I have been able to talk with about “the one”. Our daughter will not discuss Obama with us and we had a bad argument, so are only civil now. Out of our other 3 children one will be voting for McCain. The other 2 look at us like it’s none of our buisness when we bring it up. Our family has always discussed politics openly. My friends and extended family act like I’m from another planet. NO ONE should have that kind of power just from saying “Change”. So I really do appreciate all of you. I do know for sure my parents, who always voted straight democrat, are rolling in their graves right now at the thought of Barack Obama even being nominated. They would see right through him! Anyone here from the Spokane area in Washington? If there is could you let me know if you know very many people in this area who feel the same as we do.
Take care everyone and pray we can say “President McCain and Vice President Palin” in January!!

For all those knowing Repubs sitting it out: give them the Niemöller poem:

and I didn’t speak up because I wasn’t a Communist.
Then they came for the Jews,
and I didn’t speak up because I wasn’t a Jew.
Then they came for the trade unionists,
and I didn’t speak up because I wasn’t a trade unionist.
Then they came for the Catholics,
and I didn’t speak up because I was a Protestant.
Then they came for me,
and by that time no one was left to speak up.
Passivity is not a Plan.

I am from Pa. As I came to learn and understand Obama, I knew something was wrong, fake, not natural. I continued supporting HRC to the RBC meeting…when it became apparent that the DNC had chosen “The One” that was to be nominated. I went with McCain that Saturday at the meeting, and never looked back.
I respect what McCain represents as a human being, soldier, and politician. I can vote for him with a clear conscience. Unfortunately…I will also be voting GOP down ticket also. This is my protest to the DNC for their abominable behavior this election. I will continue to support pro-Dem. causes, however I may be leaning more Independent now…..because of the disgust I have for what Democrats represent at this point.
Thank You Murphy and All for serving as a source of inspiration, comfort, compassion,encouragement, our powerful voice, “women’s Voices”, shared interest in HRC, a sympathetic ear to Ovomit criticism and a true dedication to the Ideal Democratic Party.

And all through the town
Tempers were flaring,
Emotions all up and down!

With a cat in my lap
Had cut off the TV,
Tired of political cra.p.
When all of a sudden
There arose such a noise,
I peered out of my window
Saw Obama and his boys.
They had c.ome for my wallet.
They wanted my pay
To give to the others
Who had not worked a day!
He sna.tched up my money
And quick as a wink,
Jumped back on his bandwagon
As I gagged from the stink
He then rallied his henchmen
Who were pulling his cart.
I could tell they were out
To tear my country apart!
“On Fannie, on Freddie,
“On Biden and Ayers!
“On Acorn, On Pelosi”
He screamed at the pairs!
They took off for his cause,
And as he flew out of sight,
I heard him laugh at the nation
Who wouldn’t stand up and fight!
So I leave you to think
On this one final note –
IF YOU DON’T WANT SOCIALISM
GET OUT AND VOTE!!!!

Just heard that San Fran has a ballot measure to legalize prostitution. Dems endorse it. I get one aspect of the non-criminalization issue. HOWEVER, this is like saying it’s ok for women to sell their bodies, not to mention the tragic percentage of child prostitution rings that exist that law enforcement would be unable to go after if it were made legal.
Technology to the rescue! The Japanese are refining new Androidettes that are almost indistinguishable from the real thing. Quite affordable, too!

BrianH. I heard today that they have baracades (late sp?) 2 MILES from the park. And just curious, are they busing these people in from voting in Iowa like they did in the caucuses? Just wondering.

Many members of my family hate me now because they drank the kool-aid.
Sorry, but I care more about my country and their lives as well as my children and grandchildren’s lives than to be part of the family Obamafest.
I will eventually die, as they will also. The kids and grandkids have to live in the world we leave them. An Obama world is not what I would chose for them, nor would they choose for themselves if only they had eyes to see where Obama has been and where he is going.

I bow before you.
Great re-write of the Night before Christmas!

mccaindemo, it is very unfortunate that because of the candidates past behavior, we have to allow the fact that these scenarios will come to mind.
So many lies, so many escapes, so many things not cleared up by questions not answered…that only leaves us speculation.
If Obama was honest, we would have seen real birth certificate, high school and college records, law records etc.
Obama intends that people mentally create an image of him because he will not provide any real background. Some people chose to believe Hope/Change without ever knowing the reality of where that leads. They chose to ignore the lies and bad background.
We see reality. That’s all we can go by. And he has hardly been honest or aboveboard. The same day he is hearing about his grandma’s death, he is also giving the finger to McCain, just like he did to Hillary. He has no soul. I still think sociopath is appropriate as applied to Obama. He only cares about himself. Otherwise how could he behave as he does?

she lost because people gullibly listened to the agenda-driven polls and stayed home instead of getting out to vote. Stupid!
Please do not listen to the polls, everyone has to go and vote.
I have not had my TV on for a few days now and after the election I
intend to boycott all of the media and write to them and tell them just
that.
Woodie 11.03.08 at 11:32 pm
There is something else to consider, I think about Ms. Tubbs, who
was a good of friend of hillarys. Ms. Tubbs knew what was going on
and was about to blow the whistle. And for that other superdelegate
in little rock, arkansas who was shot point blank in his office.
I hope for their sakes that mccain gets in so there lives were not taken in vain….AMEN

I”m going to call 50 people in PA today. This is a key state!

Murphy, Dances, Mama,
I would ask after the dust clears a bit that we jump on the overseas military vote bandwagon. No matter which candidate gets those votes these patriots deserve to be counted far more than anyone else. McCain has a lawsuit and I would ask that we all lend it as much Puma support as possible. (You know, one of Alinsky’s credos….make a loud noise so no matter how many of us there are it seems like more….)

First time poster here. I just left Gretawire and couldn’t take all of the Obots there tonight. I think they are out in full force! I watched O’Reilly tonight and could not believe how much Bill, Laura, and the rest of the gang were all in the tank for Obama. I was kind of down, but then I had to pick myself back up, because this election is too important to be complacent and depressed.
DO NOT allow the media to get you down tomorrow. Regardless of what they say or what the exit polls say, just vote and get your neighbors, friends, and family members to vote. Come rain, snow, or long lines, STAY and vote! Each and every vote counts all across the country and especially out WEST!!!!! If the media gets you down, TURN THE TV OFF! Tomorrow will be THE DAY that the PUMAs across this country rise up and ROAR from the east coast to the west coast, from sea to shining sea! We are many in number and WE REMEMBER how Obama treated Hillary during the primaries. We remember how Obama and the DNC stole our votes from Florida and from Michigan. We remember how Obama and the media have degraded women: our mothers, our daughters, our sisters, all women!! I have laid low and tomorrow I will Roar!!!
McCain Palin ‘08!
