I hate to quibble, but PUMA is actually 4 words.

4 million strong!? Can I please see some proof that PUMA et al is this large? I've explored their collective web sites and the posting seem to be by the same 50 people.

Personally I think Roe V Wade is a bad argument. In fact I don't think we should be making any argument at all.

I have come to discover over the past several weeks that any reasonable argument falls on deaf ears. It's not that there aren't valid reasons to vote for Obama over McCain, but you folks have completely stopped listening. It's as if you have all stuck your fingers in your ears and are going la la la la la la la la. So, If McCain appeals to you as the next president of the US fine, vote for him.

We loose, we loose I'm tired of worrying about the PUMA crowd. Personally I think your so called 4 mill. can be replaced.

Michelle, please stop. I am running out of money to contribute to the troll bowl on your behalf. But maybe others would like to:

PUMA is a handful of hardcore trolls on the interwebz organized by Republican operatives and a pornographic web site operator. It's not a movement. Nobody cares.

Also, Obama leads McCain by every metric. He's set up for the biggest electoral vote win since 1996. If you guys have the "power to destroy an Obama candidacy," you sure suck at using it.

Clintons4McCain has posted they have 1781 members.

Their mission statement is rife with Obama slurs as well as praise for McCain (showing a smiling picture of HRC and McCain together) and alleges, "She (HRC)is hoping that her supporters understand that the ONLY way that she can run again in 2012 is if Barack Obama is humiliated by an impressive defeat in November."

It's a mish mash of basic anti-Obama (NoBama) rhetoric and weaves in all HRC's campaign anti-Obama statements.

When accessing this site you also get a Warning! from Microsoft that this is likely a Phishing Site.

All these sites (PUMA, JustSayNoDeal, etc.) all have the same theme and provide links for each other.

Sad. Very Sad.

So I went to the PUMA blog and posted a series of well reasoned rebuttals to some thing they had about dean and donna brazile. apparently my comments are awaiting moderation, though about 50 other comments have gone through during the time I posted 5...
gee, I wonder if they really care about dissent or not?

PUMA is more of an apt name for the small amount of losers, now caterwauling in the political wilderness,than the founders and members realize. Here is a description of the Puma cat, and notice how much it resembles the mangy political PUMA strays.

This powerful predator roams the Americas, where it is also known as a puma, cougar, and catamount. This big cat of many names is also found in many habitats, from Florida swamps to Canadian forests.

Mountain lions like to prey on deer, though they also eat smaller animals such as coyotes, porcupines, and raccoons. They usually hunt at night or during the gloaming hours of dawn and dusk. The cats employ a blend of stealth and sudden power, stalking their prey until an opportunity arrives to pounce, then going for the throat with a powerful bite. They will hide large carcasses and feed on them for several days.

Mountain lions once roamed nearly all of the United States. They were prized by hunters and despised by farmers and ranchers who suffered livestock losses at their hands. Subsequently, by the dawn of the 20th century, mountain lions were eliminated from nearly all of their range in the Midwest and Eastern U.S.—though the endangered Florida panther survives.

Today, whitetail deer populations have rebounded over much of the mountain lion's former range and a few animals have appeared in more eastern states such as Missouri and Arkansas. Some biologists believe that these big cats could eventually recolonize much of their Midwest and Eastern range—if humans allow them to do so. In most western U.S. states and Canadian provinces, populations are considered sustainable enough to allow managed sport hunting.

Mountain lions require a lot of room—only a few cats can survive in a 30-square-mile (78-square-kilometer) range. They are solitary and shy animals, seldom seen by humans. While they do occasionally attack people—usually children or solitary adults—statistics show that, on average, there are only four attacks and one human fatality each year in all of the U.S. and Canada.

This Kool-Aid has a funny flavour.

The sad, sad truth is THIS is the very reason why Democrats have only won 3 out of the last 10 Presidential Elections. There are PLENTY of conservatives who don't like John McCain (I know, I talk to some of them when I'm fund raising for "The Heritage Foundation", hey it's a paycheck). But they wouldn't dare vote against him. Republicans understand the difference between winning and getting most of what you want and Losing and getting nothing that you want. Some Democrats can get SO caught up in getting EXACTLY what we want, the way we want it, that we'd rather lose and say I told you so.

Did you hear any Republicans screaming after delegates were stripped away from Florida, New Hampshire, Wyoming, Michigan, and South Carolina. NOPE. Do you hear any Republican Anger Speech for McCain talking about climate change or stem cell research. NOPE Do you hear any Republicans forming McCain counter groups because of his stance on Immigration. NOPE

Moveon.org went after Obama for his reversal of support for the FISA compromise. Do any of you think the Swiftboaters will go after McCain for his reversal of support for the Webb GI Bill?

Hopefully Obama is able to garner the kind of support that will make him PUMA and FISA proof.

Hee! PUMA. A threat. Right.

My lastest "gee, that's silly" thought is how they chose a cat acronym. Pretty odd, for an organization supposedly supporting a feminist. For YEARS, women have been noting cat references as one of the many ways in which language is used agaisnt women--younger women are sex kittens, supposedly "older" (meaning middle aged) women with a sex life are cougars, women who "misbehave" are catty, etc.

So PUMA. Riiiiight. Pro-women my fluffy tail.
