Oh My… MO is gonna kill BO for this photo…

**********************************
I had to bring this over from the previous thread. It is too good to miss. Now let the discussion begin among the MSM whether this lessons the Messiah qualities of BO or proves he’s a big macho guy.

I need to donate for this mornings first post and I still owe for one other day. I’m hoping to have a month where I actually have some $$ left over at the end of the month to send. Will do so soon.

Murphy, #2
“While current versions of the legislation do not address the abortion issue at all, late last month, 19 antiabortion Democrats in the House sent a letter to Speaker Nancy Pelosi, warning that they “cannot support any health-care-reform proposal unless it explicitly excludes abortion from the scope of any government-defined or subsidized health-insurance plan.“

DEMOCRATS are doing this you toe-jam-sucking obots. DEMOCRATS.
___________________________________________________

Murphy,
They aren’t real Democrats. I’m thinking they are Obamacrats – a totally different animal which appeared in 2008. They pretend to be Democrats but aren’t any more than Obama. He’s definitely NOT a Democrat.

Oh BCL – on greta’s show last night they showed the video tape of the picture referenced above – the girl right behind him (the black one in the black skirt, etc.) shows him turning and taking her hand to help her stand next to him for some stupid photo op or something – have to admit that it shows sarkozy as the pig he really is and maybe obloviate is taking a peek???? ya think?

bbl – gotta go mail my postcards and pick up notecards for snail mail letters………………………..

Obamacrats – I like it.

I need to go spend some time with my grandkitty while her family is on vacation. BBL

Murphy – I printed out labels for my postcards and I only have 18 – who is #19??????

Senator Byrd blasts Cap & Trade:

By the way, I heard that the vote is delayed on this until September because they currently don’t have the votes in the Senate to pass this bill and need more time to do ‘arm-twisting’.

ABC is already covering his a** for checking out her a**.

OK, here’s what happened. Take this to the bank.
The one he’s really interested in is the one over his right shoulder. He wants to offer his hand in as a faux gentlemanly gesture. As he turns his head…woops, there it is. He had no choice. He was toast before he knew it.
It’s like when the Dr. hits your knee with that little rubber mallet. But he recovered instantly to maintain ‘plausible deniabilty’ with MO before moving on to the real goal of ‘pressing the flesh’ with the first one. He digs her and
she’s ‘got a crush on Obama’.
But Mr. Carla Bruni!? What’s the french word for DAWG!?
He’s got some splainin’ to do when they get back to Paree!

Good Morning I received this and thought it very interesting.

545  PEOPLE By Charlie Reese

Politicians are the only people in the world  who create problems and then
campaign against them.

Have you ever  wondered, if both the Democrats and the Republicans are
against deficits, WHY do we have deficits?

Have you ever wondered, if  all the politicians are against inflation and
high taxes, WHY do we have  inflation and high taxes?

You and I don’t propose a federal budget.  The president does.

You and I don’t have the  Constitutional authority to vote on
appropriations. The House of  Representatives does.

You and I don’t write the tax code, Congress  does.

You and I don’t set fiscal policy, Congress does.

You  and I don’t control monetary policy, the Federal Reserve  Bank does.

One hundred senators, 435 congressmen, one  president, and nine Supreme
Court justices equates to 545 human  beings out of the 300 million are
directly, legally, morally,  and individually responsible for the
domestic problems that plague  this country.

I excluded the members of the Federal Reserve  Board because that problem
was created by the  Congress.  In 1913, Congress delegated its
Constitutional duty  to provide a sound currency to a federally
chartered, but private, central  bank.

I excluded all the special interests and lobbyists for a  sound reason..
They have no legal authority.  They have no  ability to coerce a senator,
a congressman, or a president to do one  cotton-picking thing.  I don’t
care if they offer a politician $1 million dollars in cash.  The
politician has the power to accept or reject it. No matter what  the
lobbyist promises, it is the legislator’s responsibility  to determine
how he votes.

Those 545 human beings spend much of their energy  convincing you that
what they did is not their fault.    They cooperate in this common con
regardless of party.  What  separates a politician from a normal human
being is an  excessive amount of gall.  No normal  human being would
have the gall of a  Speaker, who stood up and criticized the President
for creating  deficits..  The president can only propose a budget.    He
cannot force the Congress to accept  it.

The Constitution, which is the supreme law of the  land, gives sole
responsibility to the House of  Representatives for originating and
approving appropriations and taxes.  Who is the speaker of the House? 
Nancy Pelosi.  She is  the leader of the majority party.  She and  fellow
House members, not the president, can approve any budget they want.  If
the president vetoes it, they can pass it over his veto if  they agree to.

It seems inconceivable to me that a nation of 300 million can  not
replace 545 people who stand convicted — by present facts — of
incompetence and irresponsibility.  I can’t think of a  single domestic
problem  that is not traceable directly to those 545 people.

When you fully  grasp the plain truth that 545 people exercise the power
of the federal  government, then it must follow that what exists is what
they want to exist.

If the tax code is unfair, it’s because they want it unfair.

If the budget is in the red, it’s because they want it in  the red .

If the Army & Marines are in  IRAQ ,  it’s because they want them in IRAQ

If they do not  receive social security but are on an elite retirement
plan not available to the people, it’s because they want it that way.

There are no  insoluble government problems.

Do not let these 545 people shift  the blame to bureaucrats, whom they
hire and whose jobs they can  abolish; to lobbyists, whose gifts and
advice they can reject; to  regulators, to whom they give the power to
regulate and from whom they can  take this power.

Above all, do not let them con you into  the belief that there exists
disembodied mystical forces like “the  economy,” “inflation,” or
“politics” that prevent them from doing  what they take an oath to do.

Those 545 people, and they  alone, are responsible.

They, and they alone, have the  power.

They, and they alone, should be held accountable by the  people who are
their bosses.

Provided the voters have the  gumption to manage their own employees.

We should vote all of  them out of office and clean up their mess!

Obama says economic recovery ‘a long way off’
President wraps up G-8 discussions before meeting pope, flying to Ghana
………………………No shit Ofukingdickhead!
You should get on your skinny boned knees in front of the Pope and beg forgiveness..it should take as long as it takes the economy to recover!!

tsunami,
I didn’t defend Murphy, per se. I tried to explain the circumstances of the week Murphy was travelling with her daughter (way back in April), and the result of the racist remarks (deletion and a few whack-job commenters being banned … small details omitted by said poster).
When I requested that said poster consider cross posting to offending blogs, taggles said it would be better if Murphy (blog owners) posted it insteadm, since they make the rules. I think it’s odd that Murphy’s BFF didn’t know, or didnt recall, or chose to ignore the fact that two of Murphy’s rules for this blog are , No Sexism, and, No racism.

I love it. Blogging by committee… by people who don’t participate in the blogs they criticize. Bizarre.

Oh well. I posted the Puma’s email to share with others a representative opinion of several others.

“THE O’BLOVIATOR N CHIEF”

hupdated 1 hour, 35 minutes ago
L’AQUILA, Italy – President Barack Obama said Friday the world apparently has averted economic collapse but a “full recovery is still a ways off.”

Obama, speaking at the end of the Group of Eight summit of major economic powers, said world leaders had taken significant measures to address economic, environmental and global security issues.

545 PEOPLE By Charlie Reese
—————————————–

Thank you FLBarbara-Saved and will send along-Repubs. and Dems. ALIKE. When did it appear in the Orlando Sentinel Newspaper?

‘And what has Murphy ever done, ever, to deserve such shitty treatment from these people’?
Nothing.
—————
-Worked her ass off
-Organized Denver
-Raised funds to suppliment travel and lodging for Denver
-Raised funds to produce a film (regardless of what one thinks of the film).
-Created topical forums and teams to work on specific issues,
sexism in the media, school curricula, women lynching, ERA, FEC, Alice Paul, Scarlet’s 411 on the 111, Prop Hate, etc.
-organized us to read the stimulus package a post summaries,
-creates Prowls with resources to make it as easy as possible for all of us to protest, query, etc.
-posts blogs two to three times per day (alone)
-Publicizes other Puma related blogs, large and small, to help promote those sites, share their POV, and to promote unity and support among Pumas. (Have they ever done the same?? Not that I can recall. Not unless it’s to dump on Murphy. Not very nice, is it?)
- She also pays attention and corresponds with individual Pumas in need of support and accommodation; fields all sorts of requests, demands, vile email, and threats.
-All this while maintaining a family (great family, btw), and taking care of the regular chores and activities of daily living.
-I could go on, and I’m sure many of you could add to the list. Why bother though? Why should we spell it out for anyone? Let’s all focus on the 48 hour period in April, during which Murphy was travelling with her daughter, and two commenters used the word “gorilla” in relationship to Mrs. Obama.
It’s much easier focusing on a speck than the entire picture.

“Let’s bash Murphy and pretend we are women who are against women bashing other women.”
——————–
Yup.
and let’s organize a conference and not invite the major players to participate… maybe we can jockey our way into a leadership position, by hook or by crook. Shades of the former NOW machinations. Manipulation isn’t an attribute of true leadership abilities.
Oh well… the words may have changed but the actions are the same ol’, same ol’.

#41
dwp

We are of one mind on this issue.
All of Murphy’s hard work and laudable accomplishments are no excuse for ’shitty treatment’. She’s the reason we’re here.
But, fair enough, I didn’t stick my neck out over on planet PJ if that’s what you mean. I am an earthling. Must breathe oxygen!

Rancho

Perfect, well said.

While some are upset that “someone” called Michele a gorilla and heavan forbid the post wasn’t deleted because Murphy was doing something for her daughter

5 women were murdered by the man who loved them another 100 were abused.

Women are earning 78 cents to a mans dollar.

I could go on but you get my point.

And we wonder why women are standing still?

tsunami
Oh! No worries. I know we are on the same page. I was just enumerating a few of the details of the actions Murphy has taken / provided over the past year.
Good thing you didn’t stick your neck out over there… you risked being placed in moderation. Hey, if they could do it to Riverdaughter, after she very civilly responded to a thread directed at her, while following shiddershins guidelines, but was dismissed because gary-the-gay-guy-who-co-opts-the-energy-of-women-and-the-womens-movement-at-every-turn (even yesterday’s thread was turned around to focus on gay marriage!) said, “riverdaughter’s presense on the blog was upsetting some people”, and that was the last to be heard from Riverdaughter in her own defense. Meanwhile, the taunting continued by the blog owners. Nice, right?

Disclaimer: The comments and views I submit are my own and in no way represent the views of the owner of this blog or PumaPAC.

HP: got on to give some stats, but you are so correct. Murphy is tough and brilliant and she does rock. As for the unnecessary and undeserved negative comments, I tend just to back away from them. Good job some are defenders, though.

Speaking of negative, as of a few minutes back (took time to read this thread before commenting), O’s Rasmussen has risen to minus 7, DJIA is minus 86.23

you know sometimes I am so damn clueless — I would ALWAYS stick up for Murphy — damn it all to hell I missed that.
Sometimes I wonder about that little group of bandits who seem to like “drama” a whole hell of a lot.

Pickens’ new bid actually is hostile. I don’t want to fund his windmills or methane cars. But if I refuse, the IRS will come after me. But instead of“greed” it’s dubbed as “green.”

Timothy P. Carney: Congress gives your money to T. Boone Pickens

T. Boone Pickens, like any good businessman, can read changing economic conditions.

While he spent the 1980s as a “corporate raider” and oilman, in this age of Barack Obama and Henry Waxman, he has shifted his focus to lobbyists, feel-good green messages, and technology that depends on government subsidies.

The result: Taxpayers will now be subsidizing T. Boone Pickens, a billionaire—and Republicans and Democrats in Congress tell you it’s for your own good.

This week, three senators proposed special tax credits that will subsidize Pickens’ latest business venture, which he calls “the Pickens Plan.” Like his previous undertakings, Pickens has launched his plan as a way to get richer. Unlike his previous undertakings, the Pickens Plan is completely dependent on government subsidies—and this has ingratiated him to politicians and media.

The Pickens Plan, in short, in this: We should get more electricity from windmills and power our cars with natural gas. Pickens happens to be a major investor in windmills and natural-gas cars. Both of these energy sources are heavily subsidized, but not enough for Pickens to profit from them, apparently.

This week, Senators Robert Menendez, D-N.J., Orrin Hatch, R-Utah, and Harry Reid, D-Nev., at Pickens’ urging, sponsored a bill to double the huge subsidies natural gas cars already receive, and to provide a $100,000 tax credit for the construction of a natural-gas filling station.

#59, Scarlet – I’m going to throw up now.

I’m an environmentalist and volunteer to help create conservation areas here in my state, so I’m a firm believer in cleaning up our environment for future generations, etc. I also have a purple martin colony (fledging over 100 babies right now! ).

The martins fly in from Brazil – as do many migratory birds during the spring. Many birds are already killed during migration by flying into the many cell-phone towers, high-rise buildings, etc. The huge windmills that Mr. Pickens has praised, are a real threat to our many migratory birds. A lot of them fly at night – can you imagine the gauntlet they would have to endure if large wind farms were erected on our southerly coasts? I shudder to think of the fatalities.

DancesWithPumas 07.10.09 at 10:28 am
I just got home and read your post blasting us for not ‘defending’ Murphy at the Widdershins. I had to chuckle at your delayed reaction.
I was over there and thought you and Murphy were doing an excellent job of countering their snarky arguments. I don’t want to register to comment there but did come back here to make my comments on what I was reading and what I thought of that blog. I think Murphy set the tone with her reasonableness and level headed statements. No need to rush in to blast that blog and get a blog war started. I’d think by now Murphy would be weary of the internet attacks on her. I was surprised when Persophone exploded at us yesterday saying we were not defending Murphy. Why the need to engage in cat fights all the time. I don’t get it. Anyway, the other blogs snark because they are jealous of Murphy’s numbers and loyal following. That goes without saying and Murphy knows it.

I meant to add to that last statement the fact is this.
Hillary was invited to the ball, Michelle was invited to the ball.
Sarah was not invited to the ball so she’s not allowed to wear
the glass slippers or the most beautiful gown. She simply doesnt fit in to that big old DC town, now does she.

DWP
Sorry I didn’t realize the post I was referring to before was an email you received. Slinking away now.

Dances With Pumas, when did I constantly swipe at Murphy? If I have something to say to Murphy, I come here and say it. So, in the words of Richard Pryor, “how did kicking my ass get in this conversation?”

Oh, and the Letterman clip makes surprisingly good viewing, because Emma Watson hands him his ass several times, check it out….she rocks!!!!

http://popwatch.ew.com/popwatch/2009/07/emma-watson-guns-letterman.html

Also note Letterman’s slimy remarks about wanting to get in Emma’s “girl school.”

Ladies, ladies . . . “Why can’t we all just get along!”

Bigger issues here!
So what little thing can we do today to make a positive impact SOMEWHERE?

I’m choosing to focus on the “A” in PUMA . . . ACTION. (Lot of energy out there that can be used to make a POSITIVE impact. It would also be nice to see lots more of “U”-UNITED going on in the PUMASPHERE.

Looking for my windmill . . .

simofish . . not trying to analyze it, just trying to move on! If we stay
stuck in this “murky mud”, it will turn to quicksand and consume us!

See it for what it is, take the higher road and be the WOMEN who have been “called” to begin to make a difference in THIS MESS of a government!

Murph-

we acually have a wolf “farm” or refuge or something up here in Massachusetts — kinda weird actually. The wolves seem way too penned up. but they are beautiful animals.

but scary!
—
Wolves are just underfed dogs without ‘manners’.
Save the wolves, save the PUMAs.

Just so I am heard loud and clear:

I don’t know how one goes about this, but remove my emails (I have two) from the pumapac email list and remove me from your membership.I am not going to be one of those that just stops coming here (like many who have came before me, which cannot be denied) without roaring. Also ban me from this blog, in case I have a relapse of insanity.

Anonymous emailer, besides the “fuck you” to to other blogs and the “go to hell” from Persephone yesterday (that others remained silent about), the smear of “Sisterhood of the Blogging Backstabbers” denotes pretty damn clearly that many do not want some in pumapac in the first place.

(For those that don’t know, Sisterhood of the Traveling Pantsuits was what those of us who traveled for Hillary, supporting her for POS and defending he against sexism, were called.)

Do send some kind of confirmation though, Dances, that my email addresses have been removed and I have been removed as a member of Pumapac.

Some perspective on Pat Johnson’s post. To put it in context, it was the culmination of a week-long series of posts on Sarah Palin, and how they could not understand how anyone could “support” Sarah Palin because of her views. It was combined with a discussion on women’s groups which decide to put aside the question of choice in order to work on other things.

It’s rather amusing that her topic was groupthink and getting pounced on, since I was over there allllllll week, posting lengthy comments on the topic.
I don’t remember one single instance of anyone conceding even one of my points, which included the fact that we shouldn’t have a pissing match over whether Hillary or Sarah got beat up more by the media since this past election season presents a rare glimpse in how ideology doesn’t matter when it comes to the despicable male dominance in the media and how sexism is so pervasive it’s become unremarkable. So we should not squander this opportunity.

Anyway. The real “enemy” is a provincial attitude. We hole up in a single blog and become “townies.” Both Cinie and Murphy have displayed leadership in that they don’t take things too personally —- they respond to them and move on. We should emulate them in that respect. We don’t need turf wars…and both taggles and pat johnson *do* participate in various blogs, although I imagine that becomes more and more difficult when one has a home turf, due to time constraints alone.

I wish Pat had put her experience of getting pounced on for her views on Sarah Palin in the original post, because that is a very common phenomenon which would be a good topic to discuss. But so is the topic of choice, as was thoroughly discussed all week there. And many people pointed out to her that the “gorilla” comment, tho a memorable incident, did not really support her premise, since tolerance of racist remarks would necessitate a prevalence of such views and that they be unremarked on.

So, it’s been hashed out, and in a respectful way, and I truly believe it was not a “potshot.”

Sisterhood of the Traveling Pantsuits
——–
I believe Riverdaughter created that term. HRC mentioned “Sisterhood of the Traveling Pantsuits” in her speech in Denver.

PS That letter wasn’t anonymous, I redacted the emailer’s name by reason of confidentiality

#79 gay gal

There’s a whole lot of passionate and hotheaded in the movement, but all this is simply par for the course for online interaction. Online interaction is swift and intense and anyone who has life issues they can’t neglect simply can’t respond to everything…especially when it wooshes along in real time!

There are a lot of unthought-out pronunciations and denunciations in the comments threads. Threats of leaving being #1, probably everywhere on the web. Threats of leaving, if not outright grounds for banning, ought to become as impolite as ALL CAPS NONSTOP SCREAMING in the canons of netiquette.

That said, I hope you stay. I like Persephone, even if I don’t agree with her on everything. So the woman is hotheaded and outspoken! Who isn’t? Hahaha! I disliked the post the other day (I forget who wrote it) targeting PUMABear, but was not able to stay online to address it before it was ancient history. Just because a post slips by without someone addressing it, doesn’t mean that everyone approves it. It’s hard enough to read 100 posts, let alone comment on each one…altho i used to try, late at night, to the amusement of some as they watched hours-later responses!

This has nothing to do with what PUMAs want or don’t want on this or any other PUMA blog. This is ordinary online group dynamics. We need to recognize it and deal with it, to stop the fevered overreaction. We need a term for it, like cyberdynamics or something.

It can and does destroy online communities, even excellent ones.

Post cards sent.

“impolite as ALL CAPS NONSTOP SCREAMING in the canons of netiquette>’

Sorry Zee, but sometimes I JUST CAN’T HELP IT!

Gotta go . . .

YA Know….ok you probably don’t … when I am working really hard ( home care nursing +high patient load + hot weather + car without AC = exhaustion and passing out on the couch after I eat something and not even getting to the computer and missing lots of posts ) but I am here catching up today …. and I just want to say:
besides fixing the chat room at the radio station where all the old animations somehow were uploaded and I have to replace them one by one, and try and catch up on my music podcast too.. … I do have something else to do on the net besides comment to blogs I want to get this in …….
#1. Murphy totally rocks …
#2. David Letterman is a perverted slime ball , and if I had the resources I would go to NYC and take a bucket of outhouse offal and dump it on him . Yes I would.
#3.I support Sarah Palin as a feminist and a candidate ..not on the basis of gay rights, or choice issues,or health care; because she has said in plain english that the voice of the people should rule in those issues ; but on her stand on the ECONOMY and ENERGY because I
think that is where her HONESTY AND INTEGRITY and care for the people become her priorities .
#4 Fashion is a choice… and if you set yourself up or happily participate in being hailed as a fashion icon ,by allowing yourself to be compared to REAL fashion icons ; you are open to criticism in that area from the puiblic as a consequence of making those choices . So if you choose to wear an entire outfit in the same color as a Pepto Bismol Bottle , you may be called on it ,
and this in no way represents hypocrisy or lack of feminist sensibilities on the part of the callers.
#4 Conspicuously flaunting wealth , while the people of the country your husband represents are suffering thru an economic crisis, is also a choice , and the person perpetrating this behavior may be called on it ; and this in no way represents hypocrisy or lack of feminist sensibilities on the part of the callers. Imelda Marcos comes to mind for some reason.
#5 I have also been reading CAROLINE GLICK , http://carolineglick.com/ and find her to be deeply truthful, and relevant .
#6 Murphy Rocks ..
# 7 I would say more but I have to fix the animations in the chat room , and all of the above are my opinions, take what you like and leave the rest .

I am as rude as the next ALL CAPS SHOUTER, Rancho, and to top matters off, I am LEAVING as well, and I hope you’re HAPPY. ( I also wish I knew how to make the evil kitty grin icon..!) All this damned talk about better things to do and the fine weather today has done it. I have got to take the dog and get some work done outside!!

The drama I can take…the nonstop reminders of real life, not so much! We still a movement, PUMAs…all movements have bickering, and disagreements and factions. Witness the last NOW election!

Love the thread… Emma Watson kicks butt and I really love the HP series…

I’m working the Prowl… Alice Paul vs. Arnie Palmer’s Gold Medal from Congress… You aren’t tilting at windmills… I got your back…

Please help Rancho with this prowl… We want Women to rise to the top and get recognized for great achievements!

If you can’t do the phone calls or snail mail contacts… Please see comment # 13 on the above link. MKfromLA has a wonderful list of email addresses.

As has been commented prior, if you are not a constituent you are not able to email, I have a solution.

NOTE: To email the rep., enter the reps. state address where it asks you to enter your address in the comment section. This technique will work.

Rancho and all Pumas

Just hopped back in to let you know that #94 worked like a charm. Went to Rep. Tammy Baldwin of WI site. Filled in her state office address where it asked for mine. It allowed me to go to comments section. Cut and Pasted Rancho’s marvelous letter and received confirmation that the email went to her.

So those of you who haven’t done Rancho’s prowl because you can only afford to send it as an email, this technique works.

Oops… In #97 I referenced # 94 meant # 95…

(((wontbackdown)))
Thank you for talking about Michael and expressing many of his accomplishments to others. I usually comment in terms of my feelings towards him but don’t explain why.
I think Michael was loved my millions more than the outspoken haters.
I was actually shocked to see there was so little negative news about him yesterday for the first time in awhile. As if the sorrow of people that loved him washed out some of the hatred.

Nest time we need to adjust our thermostats, ladies, who’s needs a husband, boyfriend or global leader – - we should call this penis genius.

Levi Johnston (Bristol Palin’s former fiance): Palin resigned to cash in on fame

Johnston came forward, Butler said, because Alaskans want to know why Palin has decided to resign, effective the end of the month.

Johnston is pursuing his own book deal and movie deal while working as a carpenter.

Asked if he would vote for her if she ran for president, Johnston said: “I think she’s a great lady, but after seeing what she did now, you know, leaving Alaska, I would have to say, ‘no.’ Obviously she’s stressed out as governor. I mean moving up to the vice president or president is huge. I just don’t think anymore that she’s cut out for the job.”

http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20090710/ap_on_re_us/us_palin_resignation

___________________

Nothing like hearing from an expert sperm donor on “not being cut out for the job”.

The drama at the Confluence is older than you all think. That being said, let it go, it adds nothing to the debate. There are discussions being held throughout the PUMAsphere about viscerally held, deep seated emotional issues, there’s going to be drama and fireworks. Nobody’s skin is thinner or thicker than anybody else’s. With that in mind, sometimes things are better left unsaid, and everybody benefits from a few well-timed deep breaths and timeouts.

Well said. Might be valuable to cross-post at a few other blogs too.

Zee: It was me who RESPONDED to PB’S unwarranted information
regarding Sarah Palin and her standings,

How you saw it was an “attack” is part of the problem.

I was a HILLARY RESPONDER, from day one with her campaign, and that was my job, I being HEARTSICK at what they did to her.

I knew DAILY the ATTACKS she endured, and I was summoned to
get over there at set them straight with the REAL TRUTH–
I then joined forces with RICKI to do the SAME regarding DENVER.

WE fought a GOOD fight, which is why I came a little later than
most here to PUMA PAC.———–STATING the facts, is NOT
attacking:

Cunt, whore, gorilla, ugly, whiney mounted with outiright LIES on positions of POLICY present and PAST…..etcc….those are attacks.

I suggest you go back down thread and re-read

FYI, here’s the letter I received from Congresswoman Cynthis Lummis (R, Wyoming) in response to my letter opposing ‘Crap n Trade/Cap n Tax.’ I sent her the prowl, even though the bill went to the Senate, because of the importance of this issue to Wyoming. Regardless of what one believes about ‘global warming’, hers is one of the most cogent, no-nonsense, sane, thorough responses I’ve seen re this ill-conceived bill.
Thanks.

“Dear Friend:

Thank you for sharing with me your views on the controversial climate change proposals currently being considered by Congress. I appreciate hearing from you.

There is no disputing that our planet experiences climate change – it has been cycling between cooling and warming periods long before we were here to experience the effects. However, I believe the jury is still out on how mankind can best alter that trend. Regardless of if or how much human activities are impacting our climate, it only makes sense to find ways to use our energy resources more efficiently and by the cleanest methods possible.

The problem before us is that many in Congress want to put the cart before the horse by sending mandates to our states and industries that current technologies simply cannot support. Our nation’s focus should be on developing those needed technological applications, not growing government through a new bloated bureaucracy such as a federally-run cap-and-trade or, perhaps more aptly named, “cap-and-tax” program.

Regardless of the legislation’s significant failings, the U.S. House of Representatives passed the Democrat-crafted “cap-and-tax” bill on June 26th by a slim vote margin of 219-212. I opposed the bill’s passage.

As you may know, in a cap-and-trade program, the federal government first establishes an overall limit, or “cap,” on carbon emissions. Then, the government mandates that private industry takes whatever steps necessary to reduce overall emissions below that cap. It achieves this reduction by either selling or issuing “allowances” to individual carbon-emitting sources. The “trade” aspect in a cap-and-trade program comes into play when an entity sells any unneeded emission allowances to sources that emit more than their respective allowances provide for.

While this process seems simple enough on its face, actual implementation would strain our economy and your pocketbooks to an unprecedented level. In simplest terms, the climate change plan put forward by President Obama represents a $646 billion tax that will impact the energy costs of nearly every American family and small business. One recent study shows that family energy costs could rise on average by more than $3,100 a year. Economists generally agree that low income families will feel this pinch the most dramatically as they spend a greater portion of their income on energy consumption.

Another negative impact of a federally-implemented cap-and-trade system would be significant job losses across our country. Various studies suggest anywhere from 1.8 million to 7 million jobs could be lost when energy-intensive facilities and the energy industry they depend on must change the way they do business (or relocate overseas) to meet these sweeping new government mandates. Wyoming’s energy-based economy will likely be one of the first to suffer from these job losses. Wind, solar, and other alternative energy resources pose great economic opportunities for our State and we should pursue them in full. Even if we doubled the use of these alternative energy sources in this country over the next year, it would still equate to less than one percent of our total energy output. Alternative energy sources may supplement, but could never supplant, traditional fuels in the near- to mid-term.

The most frustrating aspect of the cap-and-trade proposals being discussed in Washington, however, is the fact that all of the economic sacrifices outlined above will be made for the sake of negligible to no actual environmental benefit.

According to the Council of Economic Advisers’ Report to the President, global carbon dioxide emissions will be virtually unaffected by U.S. carbon reductions unless developing countries participate – and they’ve given no indication that they will. Instead, we will hamstring our own economy while our primary trade competitors reap the benefits.

Democrat Congressional Leadership has made it clear that getting this or a similar bill signed into law this Congress is its first priority – above addressing all other challenges facing our nation. If successful, they will be sacrificing substance for expediency on a climate change plan that will have dramatic effects on our nation’s energy reliability and the pocketbook of nearly every American taxpayer.

I appreciate the value of your comments on this complex and controversial issue.
Sincerely,
Cynthia M. Lummis
Member of Congress”

LOL. That is a good one!

Hi Pumas – mailed my postcards – printed out the letter on the notecards – just have to print the mailing labels and will send those letters tomorrow – do we or did we have a letter that went to the other women on the list who aren’t all excited about giving palmer a gold medal? If so, I will also send them a letter on the notecard paper I just bought – whee……

My ex-sister-in-law just called me from Alaska – is flying down here tonite from Anchorage – picking her up at airport tomorrow 8 am – going to Twins BB game tomorrow nite – lucky, lucky me(I like baseball) – I got to go to a Twins game last Sunday too with my nephew & girlfriend who were here from Virginia – that was fun too. Anyway, got things to do – little cleaning maybe so she won’t think she’s coming to a really bad slum & maybe I’ll cook something – maybe – anyway prowl will be done & in case you missed it Murphy, I really appreciate all you do for the Pac and like I said, this is my site – visit others but this is home………………………..

Point of info – If I wanted to keep something secret – I sure as hell wouldn’t tell any of those idiots in Congress either – besides who is their boss, who do they report to, who authorized them to exist, etc. – guess I could look it up but not today………..maybe the CIA will be gone and we can just wait for the next terrorist attack – what the hell – GAO got into Level 4 buildings and built bombs in the bathrooms in less than 10 minutes and nobody stopped them – doesn’t that just make you feel good???? guards sleeping on the job or on medications that are sleep inducing, another one running a for profit porn site (how’s that work by the way??), this is how government works and people continue to think that a government run health care program will be good – fantasyland everyone, fantasyland………..the government couldn’t even keep a whorehouse running in Nevada that was confiscated for back taxes…….and those houses are legal in Nevada….

Gotta go soon:

Rancho I know your working on our next list,

I don’t see my reps from NY that I know of because
we are separated by districts, but I did see a couple
on your preliminary list.

Looking forward to sending them our NEXT PROWL.
A female from NY not supporting the ERA is unthinkable.

Susie1945,
I’m pretty sure Joe Mauer is in the HR Derby. Pretty much all we have on local news right now is All Star and baseball talk.

Thanks, sheila7 and Dragonfly! The first two links still seem to work, sheila7. Anyone else having trouble?

NikkisMom 148

that was too cute! I wonder how they did that?

Dragonfly,
I am enjoying school but it’s hard to go back after being out for 20 years. I’m a little out of place there but oh well, I’m used to going against the grain.

HOPEPUMA: Watched your girl from ATlas Shrug,

she’s got it going on, I will be over there
regularly—nothing like a smart, capable, competent,
beautiful female to tell it like it is !!

Dragon:

Bombings Across Iraq as Violence Continues to Soar
Scores Killed in Last 48 Hours, Over 250 Wounded

The death toll in a series of bombings today continued to rise, as Iraq faced the deadliest day since its celebration of “National Sovereignty Day” marked the formal pullback of US troops from the nations cities. Nearly 90 Iraqis have been killed in the past 48 hours, and over 250 wounded.

The biggest single incident was the bombing in Tal Afar, in which bombers dressed in police uniforms attacked a residential neighborhood, killing at least 36 and wounding 84 others. Other bombings today hit Sadr City and Kirkuk.

373 civilians were killed in Iraq in June, nearly triple the number killed in the comparatively quiet month of May. Most of the June deaths came in the second half of the month, and those hoping the spate of high profile bombings in late June were an aberration need only look at the last two days to see the violence is enduring.

Despite the rising death toll, US officials continue to maintain that there is significant progress in Iraq’s security situation. It is never explained, however, how the security situation has managed to become so disconnected with the civilian body count.

Just saw the postperson pick up the letters on the “Nineteen Prowl”

Thanks Rancho and PumaBear, MK, gojoy, Murphy and PumaPac Blog for this –

I reduced the postcard graphic and positioned it on the return address side of the envelope. It printed out a little larger than a designer postage stamp but looked so PumaPac impressive!

It felt really, really, really great to prepare them and sign them!

Alice Paul lives!

I posted this on another blog last week and thought I would share the thought. I marked out the name(s) of the woman’s organization that I was addressing):

Women represent 51%. If the “—-” is not willing to confront this historically misogynistic, sexist, politically and economically oppressive system with all of the appall and force of the Woman’s and Civil Rights Movements of the past – the —- will not only be NOT “new” but just as ineffective as “—-” has been over the past 20 years.

In fact, anything less will only serve us up as being willing to “negotiate” HOW we will continue being relegated to a position with far less social, economic and political influence and rights than most all minority groups in the United States.”

heh…

Have a good weekend.

Working on the prowl and signed the petition!

*Murphy, you are not sending prowls to our emails anymore? Or did I just get left out?

BTW..when people attack you, it is usually because of the *green* monster! You do a terrific job!

Thanks for that dose of reality. The people who were attacking Palin for Alaska’s preditor population control policies are irrational. Along with the facts that you have mentioned it is important to note that wolves are at the top of the food chain and have no animal preditors. After bring on a protected list animals like wolves often have too much of a population boom and then need to be controlled for various reasons including public safety.
Peta even attacked Obama for killing a fly during an interview.
