      <![CDATA[For weeks i have said PUMA reminded me of "Swift boat veterans for
truth," the Republican funded GOP attack machine that, according to
some, sealed the fate of John Kerry during his 2004 run.<br />Well, it looks like I was right. And not because of Will Bowers; let's explore.<br /><p><br /></p><p>The very backbone of PUMA is supposedly the idea that they will
fight for Hillary to become the Democratic nominee, YET, there PAC form
was filled out days before Hillary "suspended" as in, conceded, her
campaign. <br /></p><p><br /></p><p>That doesn't sound like someone who REALLY cares about
Hillary Clinton's campaign much. For months Hillary had been taking the
heat from the sexist media. Why wasn't PUMA- the angry feminist
"movement"- created sooner if they were founded on some principle to
help Hillary?</p>

<br />Also, the founder <strong>Darragh C. Murphy</strong>,<strong> </strong>an
outspoken Clinton supporter on FOX news, doesn't seem to think that it
is too important to tell her followers that she felt sooo compelled to
help John McCain in 2000 that she donated $500 to his campaign, only
that she NOW supports John McCain because of Hillary's loss. $500 from
a "Homemaker" is pretty hefty dinero, don't you think?<br /><br /><p>PUMA may be filled with women who believe
in Hillary Clinton NOW, but it's suffice to say that PUMA was started
by the same ol' GOP attack dogs who are dead-set on winning ANOTHER
election and continuing the four years of Bush policy that have led
this nation into hellhole. Makes sense. The more "PUMA" messages and
sites there are among the blogosphere the more the right gets to paint
their candidate as a moderate, maverick, hero, and patriot and his opponent as someone who doesn't appeal to the middle crowd. Even while Senator Obama continue to inch his way over to the center.<br /></p><br />
<p>These sites are created under the FALSE
claim of being PRO-HILLARY, PRO-PUMA, yet, they start AFTER Hillary's
defeat and in the wake of much tension amongst women voters. They
quickly turn into ANTI-OBAMA websites, defaming his character and his ideas... accusations of pulling the race card, and some going so far as to accuse him of murder. Yet, neither
one of these sites can back up their "racist" claims with a quote. Nor
can they usually back up their sexism claims with real material. Only a
"claws come out" truncated moment, and a "middle finger" video that is
simply the Senator scratching his face.</p><br />
<p>They blame the media's sexism on Obama.</p><br />
<p>If you ask these "PUMA" voters to explain
the differences in issues between John McCain and Hillary Clinton. most
of these Republicans cloaked as Democrats shake off your questions with
nothing more than staggering claims of John McCain's stronger
exhibition of character and judgment. to elude that character trumps
real issues of American's is a farce statement, one no REAL Democrat
should support. Yet it is conservatives who constantly accuse Democrats of playing up to identity politics.<br /></p>Remember how the GOP believed that Bush
was the "kind of guy you could just have a beer with?" Yeah- look where
that got us. And look at who is dancing to that beat?<br /><br />PUMA, another shoe drops in the unveiling
of this swiftboat organization attempting to maximize their voting base
by stealing the minds of regularly tough, well-rounded women.<br />]]>
