Letter to the Republican Party from a concerned PUMA

P.U.M.A. website/ Party Unity My A&# ^ | 10.14.08 | PUMA Pundit

[bboop]

Dear Members of the Republican Party,

Like millions of other PUMAs, the only thing I’ve decided about this election is that under no circumstances would I be voting for Barack Obama. However, like millions of other PUMAs I have also realized that the only way to ensure that Barack Obama is not elected President is if John McCain wins on November 4th.

In the last few months, I have watched with amazement as you have worked hard to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory in the Presidential election. In your public and private utterances you have been pessimistic, downcast, fatalistic and have shown signs of being mentally out of the game.

How easily you forget that compared to Barack Obama, in John McCain you not only have a candidate who was legitimately elected by your party, but you have a better candidate, a better message, and a better connection to Main Street, USA. Despite all this you carry on like the election is over and Barack Obama has already won.

It is sad that compared to the rank and file of the GOP, PUMAs are more steadfast in their belief that an Obama presidency is not inevitable. All over the MSM, in the blogosphere and in conversations with people everywhere, members of the GOP who should still be fighting the good fight are talking like a party that has already lost. Why should this be so?

As PUMAs, during the primaries we took the Obama machine on and won, we kept our faith and acted from the realization that no matter what our contributions were, doing something was infinitely better than doing nothing. Either way we knew that sink or swim, till it was over, it iwas not over. The GOP needs to come to this same realization in regards to this election immediately.

The reason Hillary prevailed till she chose to give it all up for the sake of party unity (my a..) is because those of us in her corner supported her candidacy against all odds. Despite all of Hillary’s flaws, and believe you me, there are many, when it came to supporting her candidacy we never showed hurt, never showed fear, never backed down, and never gave up. You can do the same.

As PUMAs we worked our butt off to ensure Hillary Clinton won the Democratic Party’s Primary, against all odds, including being outspent 4 : 1, the MSM being in Obama’s corner, charges of racism and blatant displays of sexism by Obama and his surrogates, and last but not least, electoral fraud perpetuated by ACORN. Folks, indeed the more things change the more they stay the same, nothing has changed, except John McCain has taken the place of Hillary Clinton.

How dare you back down, how dare you give up on John McCain and Sarah Palin? Right now they are the only two people in the world standing between the America we love and cherish and a society remade in the image of Barack Obama. Obama is a man whose political ideology is more in line with that of Daniel Arap Moi, a founding father of Kenya who thrived on the cult of personality, than it is in line with that of our founding father, George Washington, a man who put it all on the line so that our country would truly be greater than any one man.

Is it going to be hard to do this, but you must fight. You must stop griping, complaining and talking about how the deck is stacked against your candidate and your party, yes, life isn’t fair, but it has never been. Instead get in the trenches to fight for McCain/Palin. There must be no retreat, there must be no surrender, till it is midnight in Hawaii and the election is over in all parts of the United States, the election is not over.

Go out and talk to people, educate people on McCain and Palin’s strengths, also educate people on Obama and Biden’s extremely obvious character deficiencies. Nobody who truly loves America and the American way of life can compare the candidates and give any sort of edge to Obama/Biden.

Not everybody is going to listen to you, but who cares? If people don’t want to listen to you, go talk to someone else, if they don’t want to listen to you, go talk to yet another person, eventually, you’ll find someone who has been waiting just to hear your message, and that person will at the minimum NOT vote for Obama, even if s/he does not vote for McCain/Palin. Every single not cast for Obama is a vote that keeps Obama out of the White House, it is that simple.

None of this is going to be easy, pleasant or maybe even enjoyable, because hard work is required, but guess what? The only place success comes before work is in the dictionary.

Lastly, Republicans, you can count on PUMAs to work till the bell is rung to prevent Obama from being elected, you must do the same!

[maine-iac7]

on the PUMA sight, they also quote a poll on military - 68% for McC/23% the obamination.

Of course, you won't see this anywhere on the news = nor the fact that the military vote is routinely suppressed to the point that only 30% get’s through the machinations of the the state and local demRat machinery =

Outrageous. Even more outrageous, this has been going on for years - and has not been fixed...

If anyone's votes should count, it's the troops that keep us safe and insure we HAVE a free country to vote in. But the demRats are more concerned that felons, homeless, illegals, dead, get to vote, vote often and vote wherever they can physically get to-My blood boils - just remember back to 2000 - Gore: "EVERY vote MUST count!" as they did everything they could to throw out military votes...

[TheBattman]

I thought we were supposed to be WARRIORS on this side of the aisle!

You mean like the warriors when the Republicans had the majority and mostly squandered it in fear of the Democrats? Or the Republicans who caved and voted for the socialist bailout plan? Or the Republicans who have continually joined in the capitulation teams known as "gangs" in the Senate...ooops.. Can't use that one, McCain is one of them....

Not many warriors left in the GOP.

[Carley]

So all those terror attacks during bubba’s administration didn’t happen?

WTC 93
Khobar Towers
Embassy bombings
USS Cole

Was I just having a nightmare?

[maine-iac7]

Better watch your back while you’re at it. They were Clinton voters for a reason.

so what are you saying? That we shouldn't be glad for their help to defeat the obamination?

Bottom line: We MUST defeat him. That's the issue on the table

[Hildy]

Did you ever see the movie THE DEAD ZONE? He reminds me so much of the Martin Sheen character. It is as scary as it gets.

[PapaBear3625]

From HillaryClintonForum.net, which has a number of people I've come to respect. They seem to have better pro-McCain/Palin morale than we do:

OK Everyone!

It's the 4th quarter and it is crunch time. As we know from the Primary, BO will do everything he can to take this election. We need to totally commit to Plan B at this point (for those who are in) and

GO FOR IT!

We can do this

Obama is the worst candidate I have ever seen in my lifetime. We know who he really is and what he has done and we must bring it out. It is our duty as Americans who love democracy that the public know the truth. We demand a President who loves this country.

Think about everything he has done so far to get where he is today. Think about what he was willing to do to win the Primary. Think about the people who helped him get there. Imagine what he and they would do if he became PRESIDENT.

McCain was not our first choice but he is experienced, steady and a good and honorable man!

Just think about it:

Even President Bill Clinton does not trust Obama. He was on TV and flat out said

MCCAIN IS A GREAT MAN.

And that Obama has proven he is a very skillful politician who has the ability to win! Even when pressed, he could not say that Obama was a man he admired or was a great man!!!

LISTEN TO BILL!!!

Now we are facing down the final stretch and we have to be a unified force to WIN. Many of us have been at this since February. Some are struggling because they can't believe how rotten the MSM is and how difficult this is. They cannot believe a corrupt, unqualified candidate who does not have the best interests of Americans at heart has deluded the public.


We are the strongest and the toughest. We love our country. We will not stand down. We love democracy and are willing to fight for it! We refuse to condone corruption and are going to take our country back!


Lets show that we are a force to be reckoned with and like Hillary,

WE WON'T GIVE UP.

STAY FOCUSED!

ON MESSAGE AND ACTION

WIN THE ELECTION

MCCAIN MUST WIN!

[Miss Didi]

Do you know who I see on street corners, waving signs and waving at people?

McCain/Palin supporters. I have YET to see an 0bama supporter, and I live in Palm Beach County!

The McCain Manhattan group now has over 1400 members out there campaigning every day. My list of friends and family from NY and NJ supporting McCain is growing every day. There are even McCain supporters in my building--I may have an election night soirée!

[LadyJMayo]

Out of the mouths of PUMAs...!

[penelopesire]

The fact that there are still some democrats in this country that see the absolute danger posed by the ‘Marxist Messiah’, is truly one of the bright spots in this entire campaign.

God Bless Our Country!

Thanks for the ping.

[Prokopton]

And yet, we are disheartened by the propaganda (polls) coming from our enemies!!

Although the polls lack scientific accuracy, to say they are "propaganda coming from our enemies" is just plain silly. Even if it were, it would be conservative's, or at least Republican's, fault that the polls were all controlled by the "enemy". Most polling organizations are privately owned. Private enterprise and capitalism at work. Similarly it is stupid for people to rail about the unfairness of the MSM. The entire industry is privately owned, some are even owned by shareholders and, therefore, control of them is as easy as buying their stock.

Conservatives with the wealth have decided to use their wealth for things other than ownership of businesses that would help their ideological and political beliefs. Liberals have used their wealth to gain control of businesses that promote, and even propagandize for, their ideological and political beliefs. One side talks the talk while the other side walks the walk. It's competition and one side plays harder than the other. That's life.

[sarasota]

I resent being called “disheartened” and I find it insulting. Seems like a backhanded compliment to me.

[Diogenesis]

[TADSLOS]

Better watch your back while you’re at it. They were Clinton voters for a reason.

No worries. The McCain koolaid will numb the stabbing pain.

[Faux_Pas]

Hey! I’m IN IT TO WIN IT!!!

McCain/Palin 08!!

[bboop]

‘Not many warriors left.’ But, my friend, YOU are only responsible for ONE.

[mquinn]

> I have also realized that the only way to ensure that Barack Obama is not elected President is if John McCain wins on November 4th.

Boy, that’s some keen deductive reasoning going on over in PUMA-ville.

I don’t know about this one, I’ve never trusted the PUMA effect much.

[maine-iac7]

AMEN

Even the medical profession now admits that there is real, demonstrable power in prayer. It puzzles them. They long pooh-poohed it, but after decades of seeing the evidence before their eyes - they actually did studies on it and concluded IT WORKS.

Think of it this way. How do your TV stations transmit to your TV? Especially with satellite...no wires, no physical connection. The station transmits to a satellite IN SPACE...which bounces it all the way back to that little disc on your roof.

Transmits it how? Through what?

Well, Quantum Physics tells us that there is no such thing as ‘empty space.’ “Empty space” is filled with what they first called “Super Strings” - then on down to what shakes out as a pure energy that makes up “the Matrix” = This energy Matrix acts sort of like our electricity grids - it transmits information to-from sender-receiver.

Now then, just WHO created this whole system?

Ah, you guessed.

So I look at it this way. When we pray, we are the sender and God is the receiver. IT WORKS.

“He knows.
He cares.
He hears our prayers.”

And, don't forget, he transmits to us also. He ‘whispers in our ears’ through the “Still, Small Voice” that Jesus told us about.

The challenge is to LISTEN and to HEAR...and then to BELIEVE and go with it.

But also, God gave us the Gift of Free Will. He will not force us to do anything. He hopes we will Listen and choose right. But He will not force us.

Keeping that in mind, we need to ASK Him for His help in this time of peril for our country and our freedoms. And we must do all we can to help defeat the very real evil threatening us and the U.S..

If we do our part, do everything we can and ask His help also - we can defeat the evil. And if we should pick a time and all send our plea to HIM at the same time - POWERFUL - like shouting in His ear.

“I knock, but you must open”

Let's open that door”

[shadowspapa]

Dear PUMAs and other Hillary folks. My wife wanted Hillary to win very badly. She was counting on her.
I would have voted Hillary myself had our party served up total garbage.
But they gave us Sarah Palin for the base and McCain, who I trust with our security and believe he’s a good person even if I disagree with him a lot on other issues. You can look at it this way - you will be voting in a Republican who has worked with Democrats in the past, so all is not lost for you!
We hear you, we’ve not given up. That fat lady hasn’t yet blessed us with her tune.........

[econjack]

You might be right...I forgot about that one.

[econjack]

I didn’t mean to imply that the degree of “badness” was equally distributed...it’s not. Still, I see a history of McCain’s “reaching across the isle” with little in return to show for it. He has many qualities with which I agree and I love his VP choice. However, he has some fairly liberal ideas (e.g., illegals) that I just can’t abide.
