There is a post on alegre’s corner that every Democrat should read. It’s written by Pacific John who, along with Michelle Thomas and John West, was one of the forces behind the 300 Delegates petition to get Hillary’s name in nomination at the convention.
I believe that if more Democrats knew what went on with the delegate count manipulation and intimidation of those delegates at the convention, there would be more PUMAs. Those of us who were in Denver know that delegates were contacting us around the clock, frantic and worried about the tactics the DNC was using to get them to switch their votes. The media was swarming the PUMAs but every time we brought up the pressure the delegates were under, they stuck a mike in our faces and asked if Hillary was out to ruin Obama’s convention.
Well, it wasn’t Obama’s convention. It was *ours*, the Democratic voters convention. And when all of the committees had finished their business credentialling and ruling, the number of delegates separating Obama from Clinton was 17. As Pacific John points out, it was actually less than that because the Credentials committee upheld the ruling giving Obama 4 of Hillary’s Michigan delegates. And all that sturm and drang about “The ROOLZ” that took away half of FL and MI delegates? Tossed out the window at the convention. Those two states were seated with full voting powers- after their ability to determine the nominee was nullified at the RBC hearing in May.
It was all a big game of chess. A coup engineered by the DNC to deprive Clinton of the nomination and to install Obama. And if any Democrat out there is still voting for him because they think Obama is a Change! agent, they ought to think over whether overturning the will of the electorate is the Change! we need. If he runs his campaign like Genghis Khan, it’s unlikely that he will govern like the Dalai Lama.
So, without futher ado, I link you to
Clip, save and pass it around.

We knew it. They knew it. Taking 4 delegates from Hillary was obsurd. These pigs will go down if people vote to make McCain and Sarah our Leaders. It is time to do your duty and bury these creeps.
And for those that didn’t see this,
Nothing is sacred for these creeps!
CAROL HAKA 👿
We’re well beyond caucus horseplay and delegate intimidation; these bastards are stealing the general election now.
Are you voting for them?

I don’t get it. Did they think that no one would notice these kinds of tactics, or care?
Are we the only ones who see this? Fraud is rampant and we seem to be the few holdouts who actually recognize this for what it is. It is scary to think this guy could possibly win this.
Please read this article.This suppose to be coming from with in the Obama campaign. You have to judge its accuracy fro your self.

American Journalism – R.I.P.
if the real number is 13 then that is unlucky for obama..He will loose and badly!
I sort of wish there were a big statue of Obama here in San Diego, so we could knock it down if the Republicans manage to liberate us this Tuesday.
OMG-
My sister in law turned me on to this bread by pepperidge farm called “fruit and grain”…90 calories I love teh Cranberry Orange…it tastes like an American Fall afternoon ….
NEW POST – GOOD NEWS FOR PUMAS!
fuzzy: sometimes I have one of those flavor revelations and I get totally addicted. So, I am recommending that you stay away from wasabi flavored Smokehouse Almonds and Pringles flavor sensations cracker thingies in the Sechuan flavor. The easiest way to kick the habit is to not start.
Battlecat, I guess they knew all along they would have the media in the tank for him because no one is reporting on this stuff. Except for PUMAs, no one has noticed or cared.
RD I am never buying that bread again you are so right I have put on enough weight sitting here at the keyboard….so I shall banish it from the house!
If he runs his campaign like Genghis Khan, it’s unlikely that he will govern like the Dalai Lama.
Love that line.
Speaking of Genghis Khan: the Obama campaign has booted 3 newspapers off their plane–the Washington Times, the NY Post, and the Dallas Morning News. They all endorsed McCain.
If anyone needs proof of the kind of dictatorial president he will be after their treatment of HRC supporters, Joe the Plumber, Barbara West, and others, they have plenty of evidence. Transparency my a*s.
Oh SNAP — Does that mean I shouldn’t eat any of that Halloween candy I’ve been lusting for?
Thanks for infuriating me all over again. Grrrrrrrrr. The most frustrating thing is that John Q. Democrat knows nothing of this. They’re still supporting O because he has a D after his name. They no nothing of the corruption involved in his nomination. I’m grateful for the few Óilary supporters out there who know in their gut that O is a fraud.
s/b Hillary-I don’t even know what that symbol is?
Joan,
I know what you mean. Just when I think my anger has turned to cold hard determination, I get enraged again. But the steely determination is right there all the time. Every time I read something like this, I just get closer and closer to marking my ballot for the Republican–even though my vote won’t mean anything in blue Mass., I may just do the symbolic thing anyway.
Rd, I remember when all of you went, and all of the anguish in the posts leading up to going, and all the work you all did. You are such a great bunch of people — such a great bunch.
since before this year I was never so involved with thinking about politics for ages — when i saw all of you in action it was something to behold.
yes—that convention was yours, and in our hearts we all know Hillary won…and she won not because of money, not because of infomercials and target marketing — she won because we loved her — we loved her for all her deeds, for the Whitehouse years, through the dread of the Lewinsky scandal, and then Lewinsky revisited, we loved her as she knocked back a shot in a bar, as she shed a tear, as she gracefully went quiet, as we saw the humiliation of this part now — so the flip side?
no respect, no support, no vote…never.
PUMAS see right through it. We do. We were cheated, and we won’t forget.
I Voted for Democracy Today
In America Party loyalty is not what Democracy is all about – our right to choose who we vote for is. And our right to petition the government and our right to free speech and your right to unsubscribe to my newsletter if this upsets you is what Democracy is all about. With Obama you may not have those rights much longer.
Joe the plumber no longer has privacy. They rumaged with impunity through Joe’s records just for asking a question when Obama came to Joe’s House! The telecom companies will also be able to give up all of your privacy too if Obama deems it necessary. Several news anchors no longer have the right to interview Obama or Biden. The Washington Times, The New York Post, and Dallas Morning News, endorsed John McCain, on Thursday, October 30, 2008, the reporters for these three top American newspapers were all kicked off Obama’s plane.
Immediately after Sarah’ was nominated VP, the DNC had a slew of investigators flood Alaska checking her entire family out and she was charged, judged and found guilty of some trumped up charge in 5 weeks flat. A son of the DNC higher up broke into her Email account and distributed her personal information all over the internet.
Yet you nor I can convince the courts, it appears after having filed well over 15 suits in numerous states including Hawaii. We have a right to request proof of his citizenship. He can stall the court for over 2 years over this but Sarah’s case was over in 5 weeks.
He has sealed his records from Occidental, Columbia and Harvard and only releases that which can not be authenticated.
His many long term associations Let me name a few- Jeremiah Wright, ‘Tony’ Rezko, Saul Alinsky, Bill Ayers and Bernardine Dohrn, Kwame Kilpatrick, Meeks, Pfleger, Khalid Al Masour aka Donald Warden, Rashid Khalidi,. Farrakhan, Percy Sutton, Frank Marshall Davis, and his yet to be fully determined association with ACORN
are dubious at best and when uncovered he casts doubts aside with ridiculous lies as if we are fools – apparently many of us are. I will not bore you with the details – suffice it to say he has lied to us!
It is not even the friends he has and the places he has been and the list of associations that are out there that bothers me – it’s that he lied about it all, and when he was caught – he plays us for fools and brushes it away while putting American Citizens under harsh scrutiny and investigations that he will not face himself and yet wants us to trust him with our precious country?
All week long, I have been loosing readers in droves- I lost about 47 readers this week. A few women decided Sarah was no Hillary therefore I was stabbing Hillary in the back to which I replied – It was not I that stabbed Hillary in the back it was the Democrat Party did that!
One gal said she was a teacher with a master’s degree and based on the nearly illegible letter she wrote demanding a VP be at least smarter than she, claiming Sarah was brainless, I replied that anyone who could not put a sentence together ought not to brag about a master’s degree. I also told her she ought not to be a teacher not only because of her lack of writing skills but because a good teacher would never make a judgment on intelligence without qualified basis.
I reminded her too- that although I disagree with Sarah on many policy issues, I can’t help admire her strength and tenacity. She is a mother of 5 who worked her way from a council member to the Mayors office to a Governor of a state to the VP Candidate of the United States of America based on her own merits without benefit of the Chicago Mafia or any political machine to prop her up. Not too shabby if you ask me, and a far cry safer as a VP than this unknown socialist that would take away all our civil rights and clearly has an anti women agenda.
Several wonderful readers wrote and said something like I am a Democrat- I can not become a Republican – take me off your list RIGHT NOW! I wrote back and said something like – please reconsider – “I did not leave my Party – they left me I do not have a Democrat to vote for this year.”
We chatted back and forth and most of them did reconsider and decided to stay. A few will not vote republican, but THANK GOD they will also not vote Obama. I am not asking anyone to become a Republican. Several – more than several actually wrote back in a few hours and said,
“you have convinced me by saying Don’t think of it as voting for a Republican – think of it as voting for democracy since we do not have a Democrat to vote for this year so BJ- I am going to vote for Democracy since I can’t vote for a Democrat this year.”
Thank you to those folks who turned those words right back on me- I grabbed my purse and headed straight to my voter office, asked for an emergency absentee ballot and I voted for Democracy yesterday – since I did not have a Democrat to vote for! And I am not alone.
Finally- Let me end by repeating what I started with. In America that is what Democracy is all about – our right to choose and our right to petition and our right to free speech and your right to unsubscribe if this upsets you. With Obama you may not have the right – Joe the plumber not longer has his privacy- several News anchors no longer have the right to interview Obama or Biden. A few newspapers are thrown off the Obama plane because they lean right. What are you willing to give up just to be able to say you never voted for a Republican in your life? Maybe the better question is – Are you willing to Vote FOR Democracy this time? Democracy crossed all lines Democracy has no party! If you have not voted yet and you are a Democrat – do not despair if you do not have a Democrat to vote for tomorrow – just go to the Poll and pull the Republican Lever and send a message to the DNC that you voted for Democracy this year! Thank you!
