Obama Says “Give MI and FL Delegates A Full Vote”

As most of us know, the Rules and Bylaws Committee gave back all of the delegates from FL and MI that were originally stripped from them, BUT gave each only a half a vote.  This was most likely due to heavy campaigning on the part of the Obama campaign.

And now, Obama is calling for the delegates of both states to have their full votes restored. (CLICK HERE)  This would put Hillary at about 100 delegates behind Obama.

While I do appreciate the gesture, some of it is a trick to muddy the waters a bit, a smoke screen if you will.  Don’t forget that he still has 4 of her delegates and he has also been awarded the “uncommited” vote in MI.

This gesture, while nice, does not address the issues that PUMAs are upset about.  It does not change the fact that the RBC changed the delegate appropriation and, therefore, people’s votes.

What it does show is that Obama is worried.  His poll numbers are slumping.  The Democratic party is shrinking and the PUMA movement is growing.  (CLICK HERE).

I will give him this…  he has learned that he needs to start puckering up and kiss some Clinton ass.

What I am not sure of is why he is doing this…  by putting her at around 100 delegates behind, and with 15 already committed to switching if given the opportunity…  the PUMAs would only need 85 delegates to change votes.

If the credentials committee were persuaded to rectify the MI fiasco created by the RBC…  that would put her within just a handfull of delegates?

Is he really desperate?  Does he have the super delegates in the bag and already know it?  Is he kissing ass to see if his polling among Dems gets better?  Is he making this concession to appease the PUMAs in order to avoid naming her the VP?

I am not sure.

WaPo reiterates – Obama Losing Ground, McCain Gaining.

From WaPo

“Republican John McCain has quickly closed the gap between himself and Democratic rival Sen. Barack Obama in several key battleground states even as the Arizona senator struggles to break through the wall-to-wall coverage of Obama’s trip to Europe and the Middle East this week. “

“McCain and Obama are in a statistical dead heat in Colorado, Michigan and Minnesota…”

A Plan To Kill PUMA – ROFL – *** Just to make it clear, I am a PUMA, this is a post lambasting an Anti-PUMA site.***

****Edit – apparently there has been some misunderstanding on the part of some that I am advocating a plan to kill puma…  no, exactly the opposite.  This post points out the ignorance of an anti-puma blog and it’s supporters plans to kill puma.  I am a puma thru and thru.****

 

 

Over at a misinformation blog called “Yes To Democracy, Not PUMA” a person that left a comment is apparently formulating a plan to take PUMA down…  and it’s just about the dumbest crock of crap I have ever heard…

Plan to kill the PUMA.
Step 1 – join PUMA, send an email to join@pumapac.com
Step 2 – When you start receiving prowl info,
take note of the contact info and message
Step 3 – Contact the people they are contacting and
tell them that PUMA is a GOP swiftboat and
tell them to ignore the PUMA’s emails

Do these people even understand anything at all?  Seriously…  it is almost as if they are mentally disabled.

Here is why that won’t work…

1.  One of the reasons that many of us became disaffected in the first place is because we got tired of getting called Racists and Republicans for not supporting your precious candidate…  why is it that you think by calling us Racists and Republicans that you will bring us back in line?

2.  There is no one “PUMA” group…  It is a Mantra, not an organization…  the Coalition is Just Say No Deal, but even that is not totally unified.  PUMApac is a part of the larger movement.  While they are doing wonderful work with great results, they are not the WHOLE movement.  They are a part of the whole.  Ever heard the term “like hearding cats?”  Yeah, well pinning us all down would be more like herding PUMA’s…  the difference?  We bite back.

 

How about a plan that really works?  Here, I will even spell it out for you morons…

1.  Actually listen to our grievances and understand them

2.  Take action against the sexism in our society…  you could even do something symbolic, like putting the ERA back on the table.  It is SHAMEFUL that has not been passed, and even more shameful that you idiots took it off the party platform.

3.  Reform the primary system.  The caucuses have to go, they are bull.  You also need to seat Michigan properly by giving Hillary back her delegates and take away the delegates that Barack did not win.

4.  Show some god damn respect to half your friggin party and to the person that got a hell of a lot more primary votes than all of you.  Yeah, Aretha Franklin style.

5.  Stop calling us Republicans and Racists…  that really makes us mad.

6.  Stop trying to “shut us down.”  That really makes us mad too.

 

Basically, listen to us, take responsibility for your bull, fix what you have done and prevent it from happening again in the future.

But you people seem too dumb to do that, so I guess I might as well be talking to a wall.

 

 

 

Update:  OOOO  Blog owner responds in comments LOL, now Hillaryis44 and Darraugh Murphy are GOP operatives stealing our money LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL – Oh, and we are the cult members.

I do realize that a fight like this is completely childish and stupid, but I am getting really tired of getting called a GOP operative and a racist, especially by people that can’t even get the facts straight. So please indulge me.

 

UPDATE:  Looks like my post is getting around…  Lynette Long has it HERE, though she doesn’t give me a link?  No biggie though!
