McCain's VP choice is so nakedly cynical and desperate that it shocks me anyone would see value in it. I've heard of these PUMAs, but I can never believe that they were ever real Democrats. They could not share a single value or platform that I identify as Democratic. It's really rather pathetic, and I despise Chris Matthews for giving them a forum to express their inanity.robin andreahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13390482190562312928noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5446697887150937085.post-51480090349994264762008-08-30T18:34:00.000-04:002008-08-30T18:34:00.000-04:00Excellent post, Maryanne!Excellent post, Maryanne!katrinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04216268651978841897noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5446697887150937085.post-31415288662960620692008-08-30T14:09:00.000-04:002008-08-30T14:09:00.000-04:00Unlike Jack, I do believe PUMAs will vote for McCa...Unlike Jack, I do believe PUMAs will vote for McCain. However, I've never believed that PUMAs are or ever have been Democrats. One of the most visible leaders of the PUMAs made charitable contributions to McCain's campaign in 2000 when he ran against Dubya. She has NEVER made a contribution to Hillary. Party Unity My Ass? More like This Party Can Suck My Ass. PUMAs are, always have been, and always will be, a cheap Republican ploy.Dave Clapperhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01679302197416841061noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5446697887150937085.post-58814733998705626402008-08-30T11:39:00.001-04:002008-08-30T11:39:00.001-04:00deb--thanks, I'll check out emily's.deb--<BR/><BR/>thanks, I'll check out emily's.Maryanne Stahlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12461617567840191096noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5446697887150937085.post-36316043227885136822008-08-30T11:39:00.000-04:002008-08-30T11:39:00.000-04:00and by 'they' I mean PUMAs, obviously.and by 'they' I mean PUMAs, obviously.Maryanne Stahlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12461617567840191096noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5446697887150937085.post-70387507130857391342008-08-30T11:38:00.000-04:002008-08-30T11:38:00.000-04:00jack--yeah, I don't think--or don't really want to...jack--<BR/><BR/>yeah, I don't think--or don't really want to believe--most PUMAs will vote McCain. but some might. and some might not vote. and to me, that's a betrayal of what they purport to be their values, the values of Hillary Clinton.<BR/><BR/>so I don't get it. but I resent the wrench they throw in to the discussion, and I am angry and ashamed on the behalf of smart, progressive women. imo, they are setting <I>back</I> the cause of women.Maryanne Stahlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12461617567840191096noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5446697887150937085.post-85439447331166716502008-08-30T10:37:00.000-04:002008-08-30T10:37:00.000-04:00Wonderful post,Maryanne!I originally voted for Hil...Wonderful post,Maryanne!<BR/><BR/>I originally voted for Hillary but dear Lord I am NOT going to vote for McCain because she did not win. What? Because the media made sexist comments? Hello? What good does that do women?<BR/><BR/>PUMA does not appear to be looking out for the true interests of women. They are a group of angry women who appear selfish and irrational. They are on Palin's side? Have they even googled her?<BR/><BR/>Emily's list represents women. For anyone who wants to join a feminist political activist group, register with them. They now support, passionately, Obama.Deb https://www.blogger.com/profile/12088493275889638547noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5446697887150937085.post-1984960554527096632008-08-30T10:25:00.000-04:002008-08-30T10:25:00.000-04:00Don't get so wrung up about it.I'm not totally con...Don't get so wrung up about it.<BR/><BR/>I'm not totally convinced that PUMAs are going to be won over by the the Palin pick.<BR/><BR/>Read fivethirtyeight.jackhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00386433603861102769noreply@blogger.com
