Don't you think that Republican dirty tricksters are really behind the PUMA (Party Unity My A**) movement ?

Question

Bryan, it is because I listed to Rush Limbaugh and his followers brag for 5 months about how they were going to cause chaos by pretending to be democrats supporting Hillary Clinton.

Answer 1

Oh yeah, just like a lot of these people saying "don't vote at all - that's the real answer" are Republicans.

Answer 2

it is 100% right winged propaganda

Answer 3

I initially thought that the Clintons had enough dirty tricks of their own, but now I'm really wondering.  It's conservatives who seem really downright *excited* about the PUMAs.  HRC herself has begged them to stop, and they are not benefiting her anymore.  

Answer 4

Aren't Pumas and Cougars the same thing?

Answer 5

i have a pair of pumas.. comfortable shoes  

Answer 6

no  

Answer 7

Yes, very few PUMAs were going to vote for Clinton if she won; they just wanted to stop Obama.

Answer 8

Why do Democrats have such a hard time believing that there could be dissension in their ranks? The fact is that there are some Hillary supporters who are not happy with what has happened in this primary and nominating process. Whether or not they are justified is an acceptable discussion. Denying the existence and attempting to blame the opposition is just a dodge designed to discredit and an exercise in self denial.

Edit: Okay I don't listen to Limbaugh much, but I can see where it would be to Republican advantage to cause chaos in the process and promote a situation which disturbs unity. However, the 2 situations are not necessarily intrinsically linked. The point I am making here is that there is a PUMA movement. It is made up of disenchanted Democrats. Denying or down-playing their positions does not promote unity and instead only causes the gap to widen. I am not a Democrat, but it seems to me that trying to reach out to dissenters is a better strategy than pushing them farther away with denigration tactics.

Answer 9

I think that you are living in fantasy land

With the false and defamatory campaign that Obama and his supporters ran against Hillary Clinton and her supporters you cannot possibly believe that the supporters of Hillary Clinton will now support Barack Obama.

If you people had wanted the support of Hillary Clinton and her supporters, you should have thought about that during the Primary Campaign.

You and all of the Obama supporters have burned your bridges with the supporters if Hillary Clinton.

(Edit to Asker)

To the asker: You are precisely what I am talking about when I say that the Obama people like you have been guilty of false and defamatory accusations against us.

I have never made any racist or bogotted posts.

I would never even consider using any racist or bigotted language.

Your accusation against me is false and defamatory and absolutely ridiculous.

You are burning your bridges with those of us that support Hillary Clinton with your ridiculous and false and defamatory accustations.

According to the most recent ABC/Washington Post poll over 30% of the supporters of Hillary Clinton will vote for John McCain rather than Barack Obama.

You and the rest of the disgusting radical extreme leftists who are attempting to hijack our Party are precisely the reason why over 30% of the Democratic voters will cross party lines rather and vote for John McCain rather than vote for Barack Obama.

You, and Barack Obama and his supporters are part of the extreme radical left that has been attempting to hijack the Democratic Party rather than start your own third party.

Instead you have attempted to hijack the Democratic Party and you people have made the Democratic Party a disgusting mess.

You have destroyed a once great political party with your radical extreme leftist nonsense.

We will take the Democratic Party back from you. You are not members of the Democratic Party. You are merely radical extreme leftist imposters pretending to be mebers of the Democratic Party.

My grandfather served in the Franklin Delano Roosevelt administration and was one of the architects of The New Deal.

My grandfather would be turning over in his grave if he saw the damage that you and the rest of the extreme radical leftists have done to the Democratic Party.

It is the duty of all of the mainstream members of the Democratic Party to take our party back from you radical extreme leftists.

The best way to do that is to make certain that Hillary Clinton can run against John McCain for President in 2012.

That means that we will not support Barack Obama or any of you other radical extreme leftists and that we will vote for and elect John McCain in 2008 so that we can have Hillary Clinton as President of the United States of America in 2012!!!

With respect to your ridiculous accusations that nothing that I have posted shows that I support Hillary Clinton, you either have not read anything that I have posted or you are lying.

A large number of my posts have been dedicated to show how well qualified Hillary Clinton is for the office and I have made many posts where I have demonstrated in Detail how both Hillary Clinton and Bill Clinton created the best economy that we have had in the history of this nation.

I have also devoted a substantial amount of my time and numerous posts to point out that Bill Clinton and Hillary Clinton handled the war in Kosovo in a brilliant fashion.

We not only won that war, but most Americans were not even aware of the war. the cost of the war was keot low and it had no negative effect on the economy.

That is due to the brilliance and expertise of both Bill and Hillary Clinton.

The Muslim Terrorists will continue to attack us. The Muslim Terrorists will attack us even worse if we continue to run from them.

the brilliance of Bill and Hillary Clinton is that they know how to handle Muslim Terrorists without bankrupting the economy like George Bush did or running from the Mulsim Terrorists in Terror as Barack Obama proposes to do.

I recommend that next tome before you make a false and defamatory post against me that you make certain that you actually know what you are talking about.

Answer 10

Absolutely. Limbaugh even gloats about it. Sadly, many true Hillary supporters have been lured into their game. http://www.rushlimbaugh.com/home/daily/s...
