Aha! Polls show P.U.M.A Power is working…

Well, count me as that 1 … Sarah Palin makes me want to vomit.

Well by all means keep vomiting, but if you can lean over on Obama’s shoes please.

God, Sparky. Do you do anything but rebut everyone’s comments with dumb-as-shit retorts of no substance whatsoever.

Wait! Did you write McCain’s speech?

Hello People of Puma (not shoe) Sarah plain is just so women will vote for women. McCain thinks wemon are too stupid to care wich woman it is so he picks this random person he doesnt even know. And yes Mrs. Palin is a evil person who wants to make me vomeit. did u know PUMAs deleted my old account they do that.

No, McCain’s speech had complete sentences that were at least grammatically correct.

With the exception of “Sarah Palin works with her hands and knows… (long pause)… how to blah blah blah…”

Yes, she works with her hands and nose. Well said.

That whole convention was a huge fraud with no solutions whatsoever.

Wow, PUMA AD76. That’s some hopelessly optimistic spin.

Only 52% of women are positive on Palin. YOUCH! So much for stealing the Hillary bloc. Maybe if she were a pro-choice moderate…but she’s firmly on the right wing. Shucks.

Meanwhile, “1 in 3 Democrats have a favorable view of Sarah”…..you know what that tells you? Absolutely zilch. For all you know, the 33% of Democrats who find her “favorable” are GUYS who think she’s a moose-huntin’ “hottie” and don’t give a damn about her politics.

And finding someone “favorable” doesn’t equate to voting for them. Many, MANY independents and moderate Repubs see Obama “favorably”. And it tells us absolutely nothing about whether they’ll vote for him.

PUMA power is working with exactly the same tepid non-intensity as it was pre-Palin. It’s great that the four or five actual members of PUMA have a new-found arch-conservative Alaskan idol to worship….but it ain’t changin’ the rising tide sweeping the Republicans out of Washington.

I love Sarah. She exercised her free choice to have her special needs baby – a choice she would deny other women, especially those who have no health care insurance, can’t afford day care, can’t find a job in 6.1% unemployment, etc. She believes Israel has terrorists because the Jews haven’t accepted Jesus as their savior. She thinks the invasion of Iraq was God’s will.

If you don’t believe me, check out this youtube of Sarah talking at her church:

Presidential candidate John McCain’s acceptance speech at the Republican National Convention drew more television viewers than his rival Barack Obama attracted at the Democratic party’s event last week, according to preliminary ratings from Nielsen Media Research.

Across all broadcast networks Thursday, Sen. McCain’s speech ended the night with a 4.8 rating/7 share, compared to Sen. Obama’s 4.3/7 average, according to overnight numbers from metered households in 55 U.S. markets measured by Nielsen. These ratings are preliminary, however, and are subject to change.

NBC’s coverage of Sen. McCain’s speech started directly at the tail end of the opening game of NFL season, with the speech pulling in a 6.3 rating/10 share, topping Sen. Obama’s speech last week by 26%. That lead-in may have boosted audiences who last night turned out in droves to watch Republican VP candidate Sarah Palin introduce herself to the country.

ABC’s showing of the McCain speech averaged a 4.5/7, down 2% from the same night of the Democratic convention last week, while CBS’ coverage took in a 3.4/5, an increase of 3%.

Yes all of your critical thinks must be right…yep….must be right.

Oh and jwl6 – aren’t you suppose to be anywhere but on this site? I could have sworn you said you weren’t coming back here.

All of you Obama Kool-aid drinkers must secretly adore Hillary Clinton, McCain and Palin since you keep coming back at this board…either that or – gasp again – you must be trolling. Say it isn’t so.

By the way, grammar aside, I must really be striking a chord with all of you since you can’t seem to get enough with responding to me.

Keep trolling, looks like that is what you do best. Troll, troll….

Great. More people saw what a Bush-clone McCain is. That was a pathetic speech. No policy. No ideas. In fact, half of it was taken directly from Bush’s 2000 speech. I wish 50 million people saw that disaster. Love the lime green, Johnny Mac.

Puma power is working. Sarah Palin is no Hillary Clinton but I have always known that is Obama was at the top of the ticket my vote would go to McCain. Palin just makes it a whole lot easier.

Power to the Puma!

Thank God your vote doesn’t count, Puma-SF.

So you don’t actually believe in anything, huh? Just pro-women and anti-black-man, eh? Good on ya. You must be loved in SF.

jwl6,

My vote counts and I won’t vote for Obama either. I believe in country before party. I will vote for McCain even if Palin isn’t on the ticket. I vote for the person who I believe is the most likely to be good for our country. I have always been registered a democrat but the more liberal they become then the more I agree with the republicans. I am a centrist in my views and neither party covers all of my concerns.

Just Say NObama!

jwl6 – may one vote won’t count, but many “one” will count. Isn’t that what worries you, the fact that we WON’T vote for NObama.

By the way, throwing the race card at us is so yesterday. We won’t vote for him because, believe it or not – HE’S JUST NOT QUALIFIED!

He is only where he is because the DNC selected him as the “Chosen One”.

Go back and drink some more Kool-aid and try to convince some other blogges on another webpage to vote for the Messiah – because we are not budging!

Sparky, why did Obama win Iowa?

You know, back when the entire free world assumed that Hillary Clinton was the inevitable Chosen One, and hardly anyone else knew who Obama was?

Why did Obama do so well in Iowa, before anybody, anywhere, had “anointed” him?

Perhaps he won before the Reverend Wrongs tapes were released and his terrorist affiliations were uncovered.

If the people from Iowa knew now what they new today, I would guess, as true Americans, they would not be voting for this empty suit.

Actually, I should have said if they knew then what they know now…..

jfx, can you truly look yourself in the mirror and honestly believe that BO had no knowledge of the church’s mission or his spirtual leaders viewpoints on America or white people. Seriously – 20 years, 20 long years….

Foiled Again – Attempt to Paint Palin as Slashing Funds to Teen Moms Proven False

September 5, 2008 (LifeSiteNews.com) – Contrary to a widely circulated report in Tuesday’s Washington Post, Alaska Governor Sarah Palin, the Republican vice-presidential nominee, did not slash funding for a program supporting teen mothers.

The Washington Post’s Paul Kane reported that “Palin Slashed Funding for Teen Moms.” The far-left Huffington Post repeated the story the next day, and it was off and running. To support this contention, Kane produced the 2008 Alaska budget, along with Governor Palin’s line-item reductions. Kane said, “Palin reduced funding for Covenant House Alaska by more than 20 percent, cutting funds from $5 million to $3.9 million.” Sounds like a reduction, right?

Not so. Here’s the background.

Covenant House Alaska is a faith-based, not-for-profit agency which provides a variety of services to troubled teens, including a home for teen moms. Although the work with adolescent mothers is only one component of Covenant’s services, Kane focused on this particular aspect of its work. His focus was not a surprise, given the revelation that Governor Palin’s teen daughter is five months pregnant. Covenant House requested additional state funding to help expand housing capacity. The legislature agreed that expansion was a worthy objective and allocated the substantial sum of $5 million in the proposed budget.

In Alaska, the governor is allowed to reduce budget allocations in the service of sound management and fiscal accountability. It is true that Mrs. Palin trimmed the proposed $5 million allocation to $3.9 million. However, the Washington Post did not tell readers that the state of Alaska’s 2008 allocation was three times more than Covenant House Alaska received from all government grants in 2007. According to records posted on the Covenant House Alaska website, the organization received just over $1.3 million dollars from grants in 2007 and nearly $1.2 million in 2006. Even with the reductions, Governor Palin signed a budget which provided a massive influx of support for troubled teens.

Thus, the Post report is misleading on three counts. One, the funding in question went to an organization which provides many different services, including work with teen mothers. There was no funding at issue exclusively earmarked for pregnant teens. No funds directly allocated to teen moms were slashed.

Two, the report gives the impression that the Governor reduced prior state funding levels, when, in fact, the Palin-approved budget allowed a massive expansion of funding for this faith-based organization. The organization’s total revenue for 2007, from all sources, was just over $3 million. Thus, the amount approved by Palin and the Alaska legislature was a huge increase. The money given to Covenant House cannot be considered a cut in funding; it was a raise, even if the raise was not as great as originally contemplated by the legislature.

Three, Covenant House Alaska experienced no cut in operating expenses as the result of the Palin budget. The center’s executive director, Deirdre Cronin, explained it this way in a September 4 statement, which she provided directly to me:

Despite some press reports to the contrary, our operating budget was not reduced. Our $3.9 million appropriation is directed toward a multi-year capital project and it is our understanding that the state simply opted to phase in its support for this project over several years, rather than all at once in the current budget year.

Viewed within the context of prior expenditures, it becomes clear that Governor Palin increased funding for social services which benefit kids, not “slashed” them as the Post reported. The increase is the beginning of a multi-year investment in help for vulnerable teens. A prudent course, the state will monitor the progress of Covenant House and allocate funds over time. In this way, Palin demonstrated she is not afraid to exercise fiscal caution, even when that decision involves those of similar ideology. On the organization’s website, Covenant House makes a clear religious appeal saying:

Just as Christ in His humanity is the visible sign of God’s presence among His people, so our efforts together in the covenant community are a visible sign that effects the presence of God, working through the Holy Spirit among ourselves and our kids.

Taking everything into account, a dramatically different picture of Governor Palin’s actions comes into focus. Executive Director Cronin sees it differently than Mr. Kane, saying, “We are grateful for the support we have received from Governor Sarah Palin, the Alaska legislature and our Congressional delegation over the years.”

In Washington, D.C., sometimes more is less. In Alaska, more is still more.

Gee, moni, you mean Palin helped out with a COMMUNITY based ORGANIZATION to help people? Sounds good. I wonder if any of the PRESIDENTIAL candidates did any type of community organizing to help people?

So, HILLARY says, “No way, no how, no McCain, no Palin” but not one PUMA person seems to be talking about this – you know, the HILLARY supporters.

Please -what did you expect her to say at a DNC Convention? She didn’t exactly elaborate did she and she didn’t elaborate on Obama’s accomplishments either. She was neutral, she did her job.

I gave her a lot credit for what she had to do. It wasn’t easy, especially knowing how the “establishment” turned their backs on her. But she was smart enough to go along with the program and wait her time out.

She will have her day.
