As a Brit I find the whole American system for deciding on a President somewhat different to what I’m used to. As I have watched so many news reports about the subject I always found it very strange for Hilary Clinton and Barack Obama to be at each others throats all the time despite being members of the same political party.

Of course, now that Hilary Clinton has conceded, she looks to be pretty eager to get back into Barack Obama’s good books. So it’s no wonder that this sudden change in behaviour has spurred Hilary Clinton’s followers to create PUMA which supposedly stands for Party Unity My Ass but now they’ve done a U-turn too and say that it’s actually People United Means Action.

Who knows what’s going on in their heads but I look forward to finding out what unfolds in the Democrat camp anyway.

I have not heard of the acronym change, but it will be interesting to see if this group gets off the ground. Lots of people are feeling cheated so it may have a chance

People in groups like PUMA need to get over it. After 8 yrs of Bush, America needs a democrat in office. Period. By the way, if you want a fun way to follow American politics, go to http://www.polichicksonline.com.

My son served two tours in Iraq. Bush got us into this - wrongly. But, we desperately need a president who is experienced in the military to get us out. It’s all about experience, truthfulness and character. No one can impune McCain on these issues. But Barack - please just take a moment to review the last 18 months of his statements, his inconsistencies, his lies - not to mention his wife’s. How could anyone want someone like that to represent our country? He’s much worse than Bush. Haven’t we had enough?

One of the groups changed the slogan to be mainstream friendly. PUMA came about in a very unorganized way and as you can see we still carry the name.

Instead of PUMA lets call it Cut off Your Nose to Spite Your Faced. PUMA is a place for McCainites to attempt to spilt Dems. So we should vote for McCain because you are upset that Clinton lost. Yes lets vote for a man who will leave more soldiers to die in Iraq and not care for them if they get home because your mad. Yes lets vote for a man who will make paper hats out of Roe v. Wade because your mad. Yes lets vote for a man who believes that Bush economics work and will extend and add more tax cuts for the wealthy because you are mad. Lets vote for more people who will subvert the enviroment and kow-tow to Oil. Hillary Clinton rejected that notion and I would hope that her followers would reject it as well. This election is too important with too many lives and livelihoods at stake to chose based upon PUMA silliness. My thought is that the founder of PUMA never planned to vote for Hillary or Obama. Can we really afford John McBush. John McBush will keep us in Iraq Indefintely. He believes as does Bush that it is a righteous cause. Obama suggests shifting our focus onto Afghanistan where the people that acutally perpetrated 9/11 actually reside. I am not sure what all this experience crap is about. If your wrong like John McBush, it doesn’t matter how long you have been wrong. Being wrong a long time doesn’t euate with desirable experience

Hillary was our last best hope to shape up this country and get it pointed in the right direction again. The DNC has done a great disservice to millions of loyal democrats by taking sides and deciding who our nominee should be. Therefore, I have changed my affiliation to Independent after 60 years!

Not even a serial killer deserves a Democrat in the White House.

Ok all you Billary lovers….time to put your money where your mouth is and pay off the “poor ladies” debt.

The Clintons are losers.

$10 million from Hillary’s failed presidential campaign? Her failed presidential campaign was due to Barack Hussein Obama getting votes he didn’t earn in Florida and Michigan. and due to all the SCUMBAGS at the Corrupt Democratic National Committee. and all the idiots siding with who those morons that think Barack Hussein Obama is the next messiah.

Barack Hussein Obama, wants to sit down an reason with the our enemies through diplomatic negotiation of diplomacy tactics after he pulls all the troops out???…. BOOM!
——————————————————————————–
Obama was a Muslim. Sen. Barack Obama (D-IL) attended an Islamic “madrassa” school as a 6-year-old child.. He was sworn into office on the Koran. He doesn’t say the Pledge of Allegiance. His pastor is an anti-Semite. He’s a tool of Louis Farrakhan. He’s anti-Israel. His advisers are anti-Israel. He’s friends with terrorists. The terrorists want him to win. He’s the Antiwar on terror because he wants to sit with the terrorist countries and negotiate with them on peaceful terms, when all their concerned with is annihilating the U.S. of A. off the face of the Earth.
——————————————————————————–
Obama is Christian, a member of Chicago’s Trinity United Church of Christ since 1988.

“maybe he doesn’t consider terrorists the enemy.”

Sen. Barack Obama (D-IL) attended an Islamic “madrassa” school as a 6-year-old child.

“Are the American people ready for an elected president who was educated in a Madrassa as a young boy and has not been forthcoming about his Muslim heritage?”

Obama quits church after long controversy? Because the presidency.

McCain will win the presidency if Obama is the presidential candidate against him. Count on it. I for one will be voting for McCain given that situation along with many other “Sensible Americans”. Hillary Clinton is the only one who has a shot against McCain. The Hillary / Bill team already ran the country, well think about how much better the country was economically and how well we got along with the other countries. Obama has had about a year or more in the senate and attended about a hundred congressional meetings voting present rather than voting for or against any of the issues being voted on. I want somebody whose been in the White House and has experienced credibility in doing so. You can have the greatest advisors and people around you, but one thing is for sure, any presidential candidate can Talk the Talk, but only the experienced can Walk the Walk. I personally don’t want a preschooler in politics for the presidency. Maybe after some good credible years in the senate Obama can learn to walk and run with the best of them. Democrat comes from the word Democracy in which I am a part of just like you, and I speak with my freedom of speech just like you do but with my own opinion, and I have all nationalities in my family and which some of them are of color. I have no hate toward anyone. Colon Powell for the presidency would be awesome, but NOT Obama. It has to do with the person and his or her credibility, wisdom along with Knowledge. Obama is all of a sudden denouncing Jeremiah Wright. After several years of dominating his church for like, 20 years worth now, he’s running for president and all of a sudden denouncing Jeremiah Wright and resigning from his church? In the twenty years Obama been listening to Jeremiah Wright, he NEVER objected to his speeches before. Why Now? Hey wake up “GULLIBLE AMERICANS” 2+2=4! The anger and hate in Jeremiah Wright’s sermons are reminiscent of Farrakhan’s. They don’t wear a smiling mask. Obama does. Be proud of what you are Obama if you have nothing to hide. “Take off your mask” Muslim, Kenya, Islam people like Farrakhan and his own pastor Jeremiah Wright praising Farrakhan. NICE ! Also why doesn’t Obama put his hand on his heart during the national anthem? Have a look at the photo from the October 1, 2007 edition of “Time.” It shows Obama, Hillary and Bill Richardson at the Steak Fry of Sen. Tom Harkin (D-Iowa) on September 17 in Indianola, IA during the National Anthem. Richardson and Clinton have their hands on their heart. But not Obama. (http://www.snopes.com/politics/graphics/anthem.jpg) also for the first time ever his wife feels patriotic? She said, “For the first time in my adult lifetime, I’m really proud of my country” NICE ! Hey wake up “GULLIBLE AMERICANS”! I Also believe Chauvinistic ideals are behind the “Secret Anti Hillary Campaign”. If Obama was a white man, he would not be in this position, and if it’s a woman (of any color) Chauvinistic closed minded males wouldn’t let her be in this position either. BUT WE’RE TALKING “HILLARY CLINTON FOR PRESIDENT” the most loved and respected wife of The Greatest modern day President of all time, “BILL CLINTON”, and also the most loved husband and wife team in the history of politics. Read the Blogs see what the people really think. And as for Florida and Michigan, I and most sensible Americans believe the Democratic National Committee decision was WRONG for Florida and Michigan, Obama and Clinton’s name was on the ballot but Obama chose to take his name off the ballot in Michigan, and that was his decision and his problem. There are 50 states in America and all should be allowed to vote and “ALL” votes be counted. People Know Corruption when they see it. Trust me! ———————————– Written by: True Democrat

RE: True Democrat
You aren’t a democrat, obviously. Also, please quit being libelous. Obama was sworn in on a Bible, and has never been a Muslim. He’s also very forthcoming about all of this, if you know how to read.
