What is Strategic Vision saying about who will come out on top? No hints on their website. Is that for subscribers only? The way Rush talks I gather he is a subscriber....

This site is so amazing. I always felt a lot of Democrats were Republicans trying to get out, and it's true. We need to be a lot more accepting of our Moderate Dem friends, because some will STAY on our side after the election.

They have grown appalled by the corruption and media collusion in their party, and they are coming to find that Rush and Sean are rational and reasonable, and that Republicans are not racist homophobic bigots after all.

In my religion it is a sin not to welcome the stranger because we were once strangers to new places ourselves. SO WELCOME, PUMAS!! We love you and we hope you will stick around. But either way, right now we both have a common enemy and let's get it done together!

>>from PUMA anecdotal posts.<<

That’s about all they are, too........ I’ve not seen any real names, real situations that can be verified. And that so-called Obama worker coming clean? Hoax. It’s just not right - something about it smells bad. It’s too scripted, too written as if a supervisor told them what to say, IMO.
I’ve been asking around here in Iowa. Co-workers, relatives, etc. Every single Democrat at work, and even my wife’s family and my own family, Obama all the way. All Democratic co-workers, Obama all the way, and they curse McCain, claim he’s just like bush and have bought the crap in the obama ads about cutting benefits for the “elderly”.
Most Republicans are voting McCain from those I’ve talked to.
I’ve yet to see, myself with my own eyes, a “Democrats for McCain” sign, shirt, button, hat, bumper sticker, etc. Not a single one around the Des Moines metro, none and no Democrat we know isn’t voting Obama, and most have already voted in Iowa’s early voting. The Democrats in every single congressional district here have a 800 to 2,000 vote advanted in early voting with one precinct the Dems have 3 of every 4 votes. Can’t tell me that over half of those haven’t voted Obama when we know no one personally who has switched to McCain.
I personally believe the HRC blogs and forums have been over-run with Republican trolls, look at how the entries are written........... I fully suspect at least half of all messages on hillbuzz and other forums are not from Democrats.
I’ve seen no proof at all, and nothing can be verified. And when we ask folks, it’s “what’s a puma” and nope, I voted Obama, them knowing full well who WE support.
Barbara’s sister even agreed Hillary was royally screwed in Iowa and there was cheating, etc. and she was very upset that Hillary didn’t win here - but she has voted Obama.

"What is now being uncovered is that the takeover of the Democratic Party is being orchestrated by a group of people with socialist/marxist beliefs, with a pinch of fascism sprinkled in­being led by a hand picked, groomed and marketed messiah under the guise of “progressivism”­with a belief system that states the ends justify the means."

This is perhaps the biggest historical story of this election. 2008 is the moment when the far-left socialist / Marxists actually stole the reins of power of a major American political party, and was very nearly successful in a coup d'etat against the duly constituted republic of the United States of America.

The election isn't over, so the stench of this threat still hangs in the air, but even after we've successfully defeated the Marxists at the ballot box, we will have to continue the fight until the threat has evaporated from the atmosphere of our culture.

These monsters are thoroughly entrenched in our country, and must be excised like the cancer they are, or the bullet we're dodging now will kill us eventually.

The war — that’s the one thing not written about, not very directly anyway. I think getting all high and mighty (and having the usual partisan media shill buildup) in 2004 and 2006 (plus some stupidities in between, such as Kerry’s offensive, ignorant, and obnoxious “stuck in Iraq” comment) about declaring US defeat and bringing back the Carter years backfired.

It backfired in Connecticut, when the Ned Lamont fiasco drove Joe Lieberman (a doctrinaire liberal in all ways, except for his support for US self-defense) out of the Demwit party. It backfired in the Congress’ post-2006 poll numbers. But that is still there among the core Demwit voters, and there’s a rather mystifying view that the Demwits will say f- it, bring the troops home, and screw all attempts at defeating terrorist organizations and building a peaceful world in the process.

Luckily, the undecideds don’t necessarily have phony peace proposals as their dealbreaker issue, probably because they don’t really have a dealbreaker issue. If they had one, they’d not be listed as undecided.

If BO wins, the Conservatives and other clear thinking people in this country may (will?), at some point, have a belly-full of Marxism, affirmative-action gone wild, demand for reparations, eliminating talk-radio via the Fairness Doctrine etc. I'm not discounting a revolt at some point...

Patriotic Americans are the new underclass, as a result of the non-stop warfare being waged upon our traditions and our Constitution by the left. That being said, we are still the majority in this country, and it'll take something a lot bigger than Obama to truly subjugate us, if we fight back.

And should Obama The Marxist actually win the day, and by some miracle, be sworn in as our President, you're going to see a mobilization of opposition among right-thinking Americans that will rival the formation of the Continental Army in the 1700s.

The American population may need to overrule and bypass the courts and the congress to do it, but that is our Constitutional right and duty.

We will eject this usurper, should he attempt to assume the office of President. Of that, I am sure.

I don’t know, I’m not a subscriber either. The last I heard was that they were threatened by those callers because their poll didn’t match all the other polls out there.

Obama's pettiness will be his undoing. Instead of making peace with his rival, he stiffed her and gave her supporters the back of his hand. The Clintons are not asking them to vote for Obama; their support for him is largely dictated by the need to put on a show for party unity. But the enthusiasm and energy they could bring to his campaign is missing and that hasn't gone unnoticed by the PUMAs. To lose 25% of your party's base is devastating in any election and it is a "tell" that has been ignored by the MSM.

"Show me just what Mohammed brought that was new, and there you will find things only evil and inhuman, such as his command to spread by the sword the faith he preached." - Manuel II Palelologus
