The sheer ignorance of most PUMAs appalls me

Over the last 2 years, Bush has gotten his way in almost everything. Why is that?

1) He controls regulation. His regulatory power is going to do the following: a) declare contraception abortion b) change regulation and gut the Endangered Species Act c) modify many other laws to get his will.

2) He controls enforcement. This includes the appointment of US Attorneys, who have politicized the enforcement of law (read about Don Seigelman to feel a chill down your spine).

3) He controls the purse.

Almost NOTHING that actually means anything is done by Congress. They do one thing and one thing only: They pass laws.

The POTUS enacts the laws. Think about that (or ask someone to help you if you are a PUMA). The enactment of law is where the action is.

If you think that a Congress controlled by Dems and a Republican POTUS will be Democratic, you are truly stupid. Try to think about the last 2 years, and ask "If Kerry had been in office, what would things look like?"

One other point: Over the last 8 years, almost NO MONEY has been collected for oil leases. This is because the Republicans have decided that they don't want to collect the money from their friends. If McCain is in office, this continues.

If you are a total moron, you will vote for McCain.

Closing out

I look forward to the speech tonight by Hillary. She is a good speaker, and I would have had no trouble voting for her if she had been our nominee.

I am sure that her speech will be sensible, and will serve the cause of Democratic victory. So, do a great job, Hillary!

A vote for McCain

"Aug 26th, 2008 | MINNEAPOLIS -- Republicans on Tuesday debated election principles influenced by their conservative base as well as by presidential candidate John McCain, taking a hard line on abortion while edging toward a more moderate position on global warming.

In its platform debate, the party stuck to its call for a constitutional abortion ban despite McCain's opposition to that, and toughened already uncompromising language on the issue."

A vote for McCain is a vote for the criminalization of abortion.

A vote for McCain is a vote against contraception. Yep, ladies, contraception is the same as abortion for many of these wackos. And that's what's coming down. If you want contraception, you had better think twice about McCain. His people do NOT want contraception.

It's just amazing to me that this stuff has to be said.

Dumbshit bitch PUMAs: Lily Ledbetter

Look, you stupid bitches, LILLY LEDBETTER is why John McCain is not the guy.

She's the woman cheated by Goodyear for 40 years. A Republican president will CONTINUE TO DENY EQUAL PAY.

A Democratic President, Barack Obama, will sign that law.

That is the difference, you stupid PUMAs. You may be past the age of caring about abortion, except for your cats, but Lilly Ledbetter should scare the crap out of you.

What happened to her can happen to you.

That the differeence betwen a Democratic President and a Republican one.

"The time is now

to unite as a single party with a single purpose.

We are on the same team, and none of us can afford to sit on the sidelines. This is a fight for the future, and it is a fight that we must win."

The wise words of Hillary Clinton

"failed leadership"

NO WAY, NO HOW, NO MCCAIN

Barack Obama is my candidate and he must be our president

An exceptional speech

She did a great great job.

She brought the lumber, and she brought the thunder.

Hillary has called for support for Obama.

All must respond if they support Hillary.

dumbshits

I see that we have another puma dumbshit here.

Hillary has said, very clearly: Get in line, dumbshit!!

Didn't you see her speech?

Most Democrats support Obama

If Clinton wants a career, and if her supporters want her to win even a single election in the future, Obama must win.

If Obama loses, Hillary loses. You have no idea how much money will go to the primary challenge.

Hillary will never win another election if Obama loses.

Hillary's speech

Very very good speech, and very UNMISTAKABLE.

Her supporters are to support Obama. There is no ambiguity here.

Democrats support their nominee.

As an Obama supporter, I extend the hand of Friendship to Hillary supporters. We ask you, in a humble and friendly manner, to support the nominee of the Party.

A hand of friendship, once extended and once spurned, will not be extended again.

Put on your big girl panties, PUMAs

It's Adult Time, PUMAs.

It's time to be Big Girls, children. We have an election to win.

In the Olympics, during the boxing, the loser and the winner would hug. Sometimes the winner would initiate, sometimes the loser.

It's called Sportsmanship, children. After the game, you shake hands, if you are Big Girls. If you are Little Girls, you sit and whine.

Big Girls put on their Big Girl Panties, and work for the good of the Party.

I know, I know, many of you children do not want to be called on your juvenile, immature behavior. That's the problem with being an adult: You act like a child, and you get called on it.
