If you are a PUMA and still posting here at DU - might I say a few things!

[LynneSin]

#1) You are NOT a Hillary supporter. If you were, you would have actually listened to both Hillary and Bill state that all of her supporters should support Obama. Not sure what part of that PUMAs don't understand but if you don't want to support Hillary in the one request she asks of you then you can hardly call yourself a 'Hillary Supporter'

#2) You are NOT a democrat. A democrat recognizes that there are clear differences between a democrat and a republican. Sure, McCain has bucked partyline a few time in his career but is a republican who votes 10% of time with the democratic party a better choice that a democrat who votes 90% of the time with the values that we support. This is not a gamble where you go with the longshot. Odds are that Obama will do less to piss us democrats off for the next 4 years than McCain will

#3) You are not someone who has a clear understanding at what is at stake if we continue with more of McSame. We are currently 4-4-1 in the Supreme Court with Anthony Kennedy being the swing vote moderate. If you think John McCain is old then that makes John Paul Stevens (88) and Ruth Bader Ginsberg (75) really old and since both of them are liberal. We desperately need a president who will replace them with judges of similar style. I mean just because Clarence Thomas is African-American doesn't make him half the man to fill the shoes of the late great Thurgood Marshall. Speaking of which the other 2 democrats and one moderate (who supports RoeVWade) are all ages 68 or older. If you are PUMA and think it's ok to not support Obama then clearly you also do not support a woman's right to choose since your actions will turn our courts over to the republicans. It took the republicans & fundies 35 years to finally get the court needed to overturn RoeVWade - do our children and grandchildren have 35 years to wait again for us to fix it?

1. You go Lynnesin!

[Bicoastal]

2. Forget all that--just read this TIME interview. McCain is mentally unstable.

18. Hey.. can you post that as a regular thread here? Everyone needs to read that today! n/t

[apnu]

3. PUMAs are, and always have been, Republican operatives (nt)

[YOY]

7. or Perry Logan.

Of course I wouldn't overly surprised at him turning out to be a FReep in some weird "I am dee crazee librul" mode.

[racaulk]

15. "Obamites, Obamites, blah blah blah..."

That was the extent of about everything he posted during the primaries. DU is better off without having that creep here.

[dionysus]

16. thing is, sometimes its *almost* fun to have lunatic idiots like that around to ridicule.

almost.

[patrice]

8. Not very smart ones either. Everytime I hear someone say "Obama has no plan", millions of people

must be wondering "Haven't you ever heard of the internet?" Even if they haven't been there, folks in general know that there IS something called obama.com

[FKA MNChimpH8R]

9. Yes indeed

PUMAs were bought, paid for, produced and presented by the RNC. No real Democrats were a part of this ginned-up media hoax.

[K8-EEE]

11. Nothing is obvious enough for a corporate reporter

That one that Chris Matthews was interviewing ragging about a "madrassa..." Come ON, like Ann Coulter on steroids. NOT a dem.

[RedLetterRev]

14. Oh, it gets better. MadFloridian got the goods

here. Go see.

:)

[Dogtown]

27. Thx for the link, RLR!

Good job.

[VolcanoJen]

17. That is absolutely right.

19. PUMA = Politically Used or Manipulating Asshats

[patrice]

4. There are some VERY dishonest F-ed up people around.

No REAL Feminist would ever even think about voting for Crash.

[Minimus]

5. Great post - thank you. K & R

[TwilightZone]

6. Ditto for the bitter idiots who are mad that Hillary didn't ruin the convention, as they predicted.

I've seen a couple of those today, as well.

[REACTIVATED IN CT]

10. k & r n/t

[justiceischeap]

12. As a woman it just makes *no* sense to support McPOW

You can say many things about Shrub, and we all have, but his disrespect for women is nothing compared to the loathing it seems McPOW has for us.

This is not a man who has any woman's best interest at heart and if this primary season has taught women anything, it's that we are important to the political process—we can no longer be ignored as a demographic.

How any woman can even fathom voting against their own self-interest is beyond me (and I'm not just referring to R v. W). Do these women really want to cast a vote for someone who voted *against* the 1994 Violence Against Women Act. It just doesn't make a damn bit of sense.

[Bobbie Jo]

13. K&R!

:kick:

[TexasObserver]

20. NAILED IT!!

[blondeatlast]

21. Word, word, word. They can fly under the DU radar and wrack themselves (as one I know does)

convincing themselves they are a Dem, but it isn't the case.

Thank you, LynneSin.

[NightWatcher]

22. there is no such thing as a PUMA, only disruptors

if that's not the case why havent the media found any during the convention. The one "debbie" doesnt count. She was a stripped Hillary delegate.

[Danger Mouse]

23. Damn straight. Bill Clinton put the final nail in the coffin of puma.

WAY TO GO, BILL!!

[Bonobo]

24. The only thing they have in common is a kind of mental illness.

Hatred.

Boy, are they missing the bus.

[ObamaKerryDem]

25. Right on!

Could not have said it any better myself. Yet I somehow doubt the sincerity (and sanity) of the PUMAs as Dems anyway..

[JuniperLea]

26. Rock on, LynneSin!!!

:yourock:

[MaraJade]

28. And if you are an Obama supporter, will you PLEASE, for the love of God

and every angel in heaven, STOP bashing the Clintons and telling those of us who supported them
that we are fools?

Will you PLEASE stop?!?

Will you leave us alone?!? Can we be allowed, PLEASE, to observe this process in peace and be
given the right to express our views without being treated like trash??
