OMG, this absolutely proves CNN is biased beyond belief. Boycott extended again!

#3 What came out wrong, Murphy?
Btw, you have mail from WH/CR team.

CNN Breaking News: Judas is resigning his name as Commerce SEC later this afternoon. Can’t find it on the net yet.

I find the above article to be very descriptive of challenges but also pointing a direction.

“The fear of political reprisals is very realistic. There are powerful interests opposed to feminism–let’s be clear about that. It is not in the interests of white supremacy that white women insist on abortion rights, that women of color insist on an end to involuntary sterilization, that, all women insist on reproductive self-determination. It is not in the interests of capitalism that women demand economic rights or comparable worth. It is not in the interests of many individual men or many institutions that women demand a nonexploitative sexual autonomy–the right to say and mean both no and yes on our own terms. What would our mass culture look like if it didn’t sell women’ s bodies–even aside from pornography. It is not in the interests of heterosexist patriarchy that women challenge our understandings of events headlined MAN KILLED FAMILY BECAUSE HE LOVED THEM, that women challenge the notion of men’s violence against women and children as deriving from “love” rather than power. It is not in the ‘interests of any of the systems of domination in which we are enmeshed that we see how these systems work–that we understand men’s violence, male domination, race and class supremacy, as systems of permission for both individual and institutional exercises of power, rather than merely as individual pathologies. It is not in the interests of white supremacist capitalist patriarchy that women ally across differences.”

Oh, right, they do have a website. Silly me…

Now, feds probe Gov. Richardson of Obama Cabinet for ‘pay-to-play’
It seems that Illinois’ legally challenged Gov. Rod Blagojevich is not the only close Barack Obama associate and Democratic governor being investigated by the feds for possibly selling government business in return for campaign contributions.

New Mexico’s Gov. Bill Richardson, who is the newly named Secretary of Commerce in Obama’s about-to-be Cabinet, is also being investigated by a federal grand jury in his home state for possibly steering state bond business from the New Mexico Financial Authority toward David Rubin, a significant campaign contributor, according to an NBC News report, among others.

NBC’s Lisa Myers reports that two former state officials say they’ve recently been questioned by a federal grand jury specifically about allegations that Richardson or aides pushed state business worth nearly $1.5 million in fees toward CDR Financial Products in 2004. The company is headquartered in Beverly Hills.

This was about the same time as CDR’s founder, Rubin, donated $100,000 to two of Richardson’s political action committees; mainly it appears to cover expenses of the governor and his staff at the Democratic Party’s National Convention in Boston that summer.

Rubin also donated another $29,000 to Richardson’s unsuccessful presidential campaign this year and last.

The probe is part of a broad national federal exploration of “pay-to-play,” in which government officials reap financial or other benefits in return for state business.

Richardson has ignored reporters’ questions on the federal investigation, while a spokesman says he’s confident the relationship was entirely appropriate and the governor expects state employees to cooperate fully with federal investigators. A CDR spokesman also said the transactions were appropriate.

An Obama transition official has refused to comment on whether the president-elect knew of the investigation before he appointed Richardson to his new Cabinet position.

Obama has called Richardson “my great friend” and said the governor would be a key member of his administration’s economic team. Richardson, the first Latino in Obama’s Cabinet, described himself the same way.

On Tuesday, the Obama transition team issued a five-page report of its own involvement with Blagojevich, who’s charged in a federal criminal complaint with demanding money for state aid, business and his appointment of Obama’s Senate replacement.

The Obama team report completely absolved the Obama team of any wrongdoing, as the Ticket reported here. But Obama was already on vacation when the report was issued and has said he won’t be talking further about the matter. The president-elect’s main Blagojevich contact, new White House chief of staff Rahm Emanuel also happened to be unreachable on a vacation in Africa.

Here’s the full video report below.

GoPumaGo 01.04.09 at 1:35 pm

The LA Times article from Dec. didn’t share the whole story. The W Post had reported the following day (12/16/08)

“Rubin was GENEROUS TO OBAMA”S campaign as well, giving $29,000 to help elect the senator to the White House.”

Nijma #38: nice link! I have to open flash right now and start animating…that’s a good kick in the pants!

mountainsong, here is your answer. The women’s movement has always been a bit on the outside of the culture….BUT…. the IDEAS from the feminists’ movement filter into the culture rapidly, even while those who espouse them remain suspected.

The Arab world is totally different. Women in politics is seen as more natural as their politics is heavily based on tribal identity and not political philosophies. So you would never have a woman elected to a legislative seat, but where there are seats especially set aside for women, as in Jordan, they have no problem having women in the government. They seem to think it’s natural for women to advocate for education and jobs for women, even if the reality of those ideals has a long way to go.

I remember hearing people say years ago “I believe a woman should get paid the same as a man for doing the same work BUT…” (insert favorite those-particular-women-are-icky phrase). BTW, how has that equal pay for equal work thing been working out for us lately?

Thank you Murphy and Dances…

And I’m rattling my brain trying to figure it out. There has to be a WAY!1 Trying to change a patriarchal system which doesn’t allow for respect for women as an equal right, and forced to play by patriarchal laws and rules, spoken or unspoken…..

Have you heard from the team leader?

How about a PROWL targeting EVERY contact we have in any and every database and send them Murphy’s link to Betty Jean’s ‘article’ with a brief synopsis. SOMETHING HAS to UNITE US!!!!! Something that will spread like wildfire and not be extinguished.

Oops – sorry DWP – didn’t mean to make that all bold!!

“seats set aside especially for women” is unacceptable”
Why not. If you can’t get a whole loaf you wait for a crumb to drop from the table and take it. Soon you have half a loaf. That’s what politics is all about. But you don’t start out saying I want half of my rights. If you can’t get in the front door you go in the back door, and hope people forget how you got there once you are visible.

How do you think women got universal education for girls? Girls weren’t valued back in the days of the revolution. They couldn’t make an argument that girls were human and deserved to be educated. so they made the argument that girls would grow up to be mothers and would need to help educate their sons. Now no one remembers that, they just take it for granted that little girls go to school.

DancesWithPumas 01.04.09 at 2:26 pm No! I think there was some email of acknowledgement of my team membership, but I haven’t heard of anything I could actually be working on.
I know Trish has some other things going on so the Sexism in Media hasn’t really taken off. I THINK there is a general consensus we should all be focusing on the ERA ratification THIS YEAR, to coincide with the award to Alice Paul.

mountainsong “A far as I know, at this moment, ALL the wardens ARE in charge!”

We are in charge because we are right. Because we are ethical. Because we show respect for all people. And of course there is the pouncing thing.

Grrr, I was discussing all this with a friend a few days ago. I thought she might get excited about it al.
Instead, she told ME how much she appreciates men and all they do for her, taking care of all her needs. She is content with her ‘role’.
Cn we exile some people to an island somewhere?

Trish is wrapping up another project right now, and will be contacting the SOS team today.

I believe members are in agreement that we will all lend a hand to the ERA project, while continuing to work on the teams/projects of our choice.

Nijma 01.04.09 at 2:33 pm Who is the “we” that are in charge you refer to? And, if ‘we’ ARE in charge, why do we need these teams and why hasn’t the ERA already gone into the written word?

Don’t count Blagojevich out yet either. According to our court system a person is innocent until proven guilty. He says he is innocent. The tapes have not been released either, so we don’t’ know what he really said or in what context. All we know is he said the F-word a bunch of times. I’m ready to convict him on that, but what do I know.

I suspect he is not doing anything all other politicians don’t do, and someone is just mad at him for not being corrupt enough.

************************
Because “WE” have been too passive, it will go into the written word, when “WE” become activist and become more demanding and never recede into the background again…

Who is the “we” that are in charge you refer to?

Why mountainsong, when I say “we” I really meant “you”. You are in charge. You are the change we have been waiting for. Hee, hee.

Instead, she told ME how much she appreciates men and all they do for her, taking care of all her needs. She is content with her ‘role’.

mountainsong, there are some definite class differences in how women think of their roles. What you are referring to is a classic working class attitude. Women getting their feeling of worth by “being taken care of” by a man. Fur coats, cars, the trappings of being loved. Middle class women are more likely to define success by what they do themselves and include work as being essential to sense of personal worth. So do you have to talk to women differently depending on class? I don’t know. I also don’t know what the generational differences might be–I’m sure attitudes change with time.

mountainsong 01.04.09 at 2:34pm

I think your friend is living in la la land. Reality is over 80% of women work outside of the home, 50% of marriages fail and women outlive men by approx. 7 years. I’m glad her life is so perfect but it ain’t so for millions of other women. Remind her she is not living on an island.

Dances,

Great link… that is it in a nutshell… luckily I haven’t eaten yet today… the images were so personally offensive to me that I gagged…

Does anyone know if there was some FEC thing (letter) that had to arrive somewhere tomorrow – or was it the 8th? I thought I remember seeing something about a deadline in a comment but didn’t understand exactly what was needed and where it should go…

You have ERA email.

DancingWithPumas, I think you do a wonderful job on the site, and want to thank you for all the hard work you do “behind the scenes”. As a group owner of a large group myself I know how much work there is to do that nobody sees…. we see so much that you do, but I have this gut feeling as a group owner that you do so much more that we DON’T see. So, thank you!

TO ALL WHO VISIT THIS SITE, DO NOT THINK THAT THE ERA PUMAPAC TEAM ONLY CONSISTS OF THE NAMES POSTED ON THEIR TEAM SITE; YOU ARE ALL MEMBERS OF THE NEW ERA MOVEMENT… PLEASE VISIT
THE (ERA Now! Public Forum) AND CONTRIBUTE. THANK YOU!

Listed here are some of the proposals we will be working on to advance this Just Cause.

We will demand from this government the ratification the ERA Now!!!

We will work hand in hand with other women organizations who desire the same end goal, the ERA ratified.

We will encourage the silent majority of women to come out and roar with us.

We will inform women, who do not even know what the ERA means; via email, flyers, rallies, on campuses talks and we will make them aware of the necessity and importance of the ratification of the ERA, for themselves and their future progeny.

We will not waste our time criticizing women who are against the ERA ratification because we understand that they are misinformed and still under the patriarchal influence. But mostly it is a waste of our creative energy.

And most important we will understand that Sexism is derived from the lack of laws protecting women in her own country!

We will emphasize that this Government of the most powerful nation on earth, has not as yet established into law, that all of their citizens shall have equal rights under The Constitution.

We will emphasize that this (Government) which demands justice and democratic rights for citizens of other countries, yet their own female citizens are without democratic rights under the Constitution

We will emphasize that this (Government) has no qualms about sending off to war our sons and daughter to defend the democratic rights of such a country as Iraq, and will not even defend the democratic rights, of their own women under The Constitution.

We need to inform 10 women who will inform 10 women etc. etc.

Hey there everyone,

Va. Governor Kaine to Become DNC Chairman

Virginia Gov. Timothy M. Kaine will become chairman of the Democratic National Committee later this month, serving as the top political messenger for Barack Obama’s administration even while he finishes his final year in the governor’s mansion, several sources said.

Kaine, who emerged as one of Obama’s vice presidential finalists this summer, will operate from Richmond in a part-time capacity until January 2010, when he will become the full-time DNC chairman. Kaine is constitutionally barred from running for reelection.

A personal friend of the president-elect, Kaine is a gregarious chief executive who is known to relish political combat and helped put Virginia in the Democratic column for the first time in almost 50 years.

Obama transition aides declined to comment today, and Kaine aides did not return calls seeking comment. Two sources said Obama will announce his choice of Kaine for the post later this week.

Carville predicts scandals to overshadow Democrats, Obama
By Publicola | January 3, 2009

Obama himself was alleged in the U.K. press to have had an ongoing affair, which, just like the John Edwards scandal, has not yet been covered by the U.S. media.

http://www.rlcil.org/2009/01/03/carville-predicts-culture-of-scandal-to-plague-democrats-obama/

I like to log in here to provide updated information. Several weeks ago there was a push that if Obama were not elected that we would do all we could to 1) make sure H. Dean would not be retained. 2) find a DNC chairperson who was supportive of women and would not actively work in primaries to endorse or support a candidate and bend the rules to support that candidate.

Well being that the one is having his upcoming anointment and coronation, then he gets to choose who is DNC chairperson. I just found out that “the one” has nominated current VA governor Tim Kaine to be DNC chairman part-time this year and full time next year. He is part time this year because he is finishing out a term and VA will hold gubernatorial elections this year. I don’t know if ultimately Tim will resign from his position giving someone a leg up into the governor’s mansion but Im wondering how this will directly impact Terry McAuliffe and his run for the nomination to be the DEM candidate on the ballot for Governor in November.

Anyway, if you would like to read more about it please go to

“No one can make you feel (fill in the blank) without your consent.”

What’s that scene where some Star Trek character (was it the yummy Harrison Ford as Indiana Jones?) has to cross an abyss and can’t see the bridge? He closes his eyes and the bridge is there–he can feel it with his feet. And he crosses. We are going to boldly go where no one has gone before, and we will feel where the path is as we are crossing it.

Close your eyes and feel for the bars–they aren’t there. It’s an Obot illusion.

The single most important reason NOT to give Caroline a chance is that she made SURE Hillary Rodham Clinton would not have a chance at the presidency. There is a place for COMMENTS as well as her direct email address. Perhaps PUMA could let her know what we think about Ms. Kennedy….and the hypocrisy of both Ms. Kennedy and Ms. Hearst.

SouthernGAL: There is LOTS of news relating to the Natural Born Citizen issue, including a Supreme Court case to be heard on the 9th and 16th of January in conference at the Supreme Court.

New lawsuits were also filed. http://www.americasright.com/ has all the up to date information.

Also, there is speculation going on b/c so far only 24 states have handed in their electoral votes for the counting on Jan 8th. There is space for hope, but not too much yet.

If the Electoral College certifies the vote, one member of the Senate and one member of the House objecting is ALL it would take to start an investigation as well.

There have been several articles in the GLOBE magazine about Obama’s “real birth place”.

********************

Jenniforhillary,I have a theory that Obama during the primaries promised Edwards and Richardson a great deal of power if they supported him instead of Hillary; knowing full well once they came on board Obama’s Gestapo team lead by Axelrod ,would slowly leak out into the MSM the hidden secrets in both of their pathetic lives.

And now both Edwards and Richardson know they have been had.

Short hello to PUMAs and a tidbit from Drudge if you haven’t already reported it:

Judas backs out…………he must be real worried about his actions to do this:

WASHINGTON (AP) – New Mexico Gov. Bill Richardson on Sunday announced that he was withdrawing his nomination to be President-elect Barack Obama’s commerce secretary amid a grand jury investigation into how some of his political donors won a lucrative state contract.

Richardson’s withdrawal was the first disruption of Obama’s Cabinet process and the second “pay-to-play” investigation that has touched Obama’s transition to the presidency. The president-elect has remained above the fray in both the case of arrested Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich and the New Mexico case.

A federal grand jury is investigating how a California company that contributed to Richardson’s political activities won a New Mexico transportation contract worth more than $1 million. Richardson said in a statement issued by the Obama transition office that the investigation could take weeks or months but expressed confidence it will show he and his administration acted properly.

“I have concluded that the ongoing investigation also would have forced an untenable delay in the confirmation process,” Richardson said. “Given the gravity of the economic situation the nation is facing, I could not in good conscience ask the president-elect and his administration to delay for one day the important work that needs to be done.”

Richardson said he will remain as governor and told Obama, “I am eager to serve in the future in any way he deems useful.”

The announcement came ahead of Obama’s Monday meetings with congressional leaders on a massive economic recovery bill he wants lawmakers to pass quickly.

Obama said he has accepted Richardson’s withdrawal, first reported by NBC News, “with deep regret.”

“Governor Richardson is an outstanding public servant and would have brought to the job of Commerce Secretary and our economic team great insights accumulated through an extraordinary career in federal and state office,” Obama said. “It is a measure of his willingness to put the nation first that he has removed himself as a candidate for the Cabinet to avoid any delay in filling this important economic post at this critical time. Although we must move quickly to fill the void left by Governor Richardson’s decision, I look forward to his future service to our country and in my administration.”

A person familiar with the proceedings has told The Associated Press that the grand jury is looking into possible “pay-to-play” dealings between CDR Financial Products and someone in a position to push the contract through with the state of New Mexico.

Does this sound familiar to anybody? Does “pay to play” jog your memory?
