Sorry guys, Sarah Palin has nothing to do with making us Pumas happy. We were voting for McCain before Palin was even a thought. Palin is not Hillary Clinton and can't be a substitute for her. That said, we respect Palin for all that she has accomplished, we will defend her against the rampant sexism that we see and that was also used to crucify Hillary Clinton. We are Clinton Dems. We firmly believe that Hillary was and still is the best candidate for this country. But we also respect John McCain. Sarah Palin is not what brought us to McCain's side, although I know that makes a good story. We honestly feel that among the two candidates we have to choose from, that McCain is the better for the country. This isn't a game to us. This isn't some kind of get even, vote for the woman, or mud in your eye competition. We have seen Obama’s handiwork up close and personal during the primaries. And we don't like it, we don't like him, we don't trust him, and we don't believe a single thing he has to say about anything. As a side note, we haven't forgotten the Republican’s hand in all of this. It was your Operation Chaos, Be a Democrat for a Day during the primaries voting for Obama to try and kill Hillary's chances that have now brought you to the threshold of an Obama presidency. You are now reaping the seeds that you have sewed.

You have this completely backwards.

Operation Chaos was designed to bloody up Obama, by encouraging Republicans to vote for Hillary. The point was that McCain wanted to appear (at the time) "above the fray" and not actually attack the opposition - so conservatives had to keep Hillary in the race so that Hillary and Obama would cut each other down.

Seeing how Obama was winning all the Caucuses, that meant that Operation Chaos operatives had to prop up Hillary in the primaries. That's right, we came to Hillary's rescue, if only for our own purposes.

Don't believe me? Check out the Rush Limbaugh site yourself.

You have it wrong about Operation Chaos. It was to get the GOP to cross over and vote for Hillary in states like PA, Ohio, and Texas to keep her in the game. The object was to keep the Democrat primary going. After Obamas string of early victories, we didn't want him wrapping up the nomination early and get all those extra months of MSM adulation and uniting the party 8 months before the election. If that had happened, McCain would be toast. At first a lot of us didn't care who won, we just wanted the fight to drag on. But when we realized how bad Obama was it changed my mind. At that point I would think many of us were rooting for your girl to win the nomination, not the election, just nomination.

Hmmm, so many questions and you signed up today. We, as Republicans, are doing our best to publicize the fact that Obama is a Socialist, has terrorist friends and will negotiate with terrorist countries without preconditions, etc. We have to fight against the MSM ignoring all of these issues time and time again. You, as a Democrat, have enjoyed the press bias until now, welcome to our world.

Colin Powell is a Democrat pretending to be a Republican (RINO). You would probably like him if you read his autobiography. I thank him for his service to our country, but I wrote him off as a serious contender years ago.

I do not work for the McCain campaign, but I agree ads should be stronger, yet they are not. The whole Palin fracas I call BS. True or not, Palin should stick to her guns (pun intended) and continue with her message (I support the 2nd amendment completely, BTW).

I know it is in your best interest to vote for McCain rather than Obama, if not, sit the vote out.

Welcome to Free Republic. I think the reason that the GOP has not gone after Obama harder is because we don't want to be labeled rascist. But, no matter how careful we are, we are called rascist, simply because the Obamanoids think in only those terms.

By now you know that Operation Chaos has kept Hillary in the race longer. You also know that none of us are that impressed with McCain. He's not conservative enough for us. But he will not destroy the very foundation of this country like Obama would.

As far as November 4th, we are so very glad for every ally we have. I am actively talking to people every day and I've heard this sentence many times now: "I've been a life-long Democrat, but I will vote AGAINST Obama, cause Obama scares me."

And my attitude toward those Democrats has softened. They are putting country over Party, and I can respect that. Even my own family who is fiercely Democrat and who at first had chosen Obama, changed their minds after "Joe The Plumber". :)

I hope on Nov. 5th we can all breathe a sigh of relief if (and I want to say WHEN) McCain has won. I hope that Obama's followers won't torch the country like Odinga's followers did after Odinga lost in Kenya.

BTW: I lurk at PUMA sometimes and it's been refreshing that for once we're talking the same language.
