Let 'er rip! :-)

I'm so sick of PUMA, I could puke.

I understand the extensive negative roll of the PUMA and possible Republican troll infiltration. And we need to either win them over or steer clear.
But do you think Anybody But Clinton (ABC) or We hate Clinton (WHC) crowd are doing the same thing? There seems to be a crowd who intentionally would go on insulting the Clintons or progressive organizations like NOW or Emily's List just to incite divisiveness amongst the Democrats. I'm beginning to think that these are Republican trolls too.

I say ABC meets PUMA..they are the two sides of the same coin.

is she married?  I don't want my vision of an bitter cat lady to to be a false label.

Is that you? (/snark)

OK, I know you're really not Harriet. But still, I'm not so sure that this kind of mocking really helps our cause of Democratic Unity. Just watch out, and don't give the "PUMAs" material that they'll then use against us as they trash us as "bullies".

I think that by casting PUMA into the role of The Enemy you're giving them too much attention and far too much importance.

MyDD would be a much nice place if everyone just ignore the PUMAs. What do you expect to do about them anyway, except provide free publicity?

Put your energy into undermining McCain where it might do some good. The PUMAs aren't going to change. Just let it go.

So, Obama changes his positions on FISA, public financing and moves to the center.  It seems to me that his primary campaign was a FRAUD.  And he claimed to be about new politics.  The hypocrisy, to me, is far beyond any politician I have ever known.

Now, in the meeting with Clinton fundraisers last Thursday he was unable to confirm that there would be a roll call vote at the convention.  That's outrageous!

I cannot in good conscience vote for someone so disingenuous and at the head of a bizarrely authoritarian campaign.

PUMA!! PUMA!! PUMA!! PUMA!! PUMA!! PUMA!!

P.S.  I have voted for one republican in over twenty years of voting...it was some county-level position years ago.  I am not a republican...but, like millions of other Americans, I do have a cat! : )

As always an enthusiastic and spot on diary.

Don't sweat it. You have to let them come to in on their own. Some will. some won't. There will always people who will vote personality over the Democratic agenda. To me, very short-sighted but still their choice. Again, they need to come to it on their own...

I like you, and I admire your optimism. But I'm personally not as convinced as you are that Obama represents my values. I know it's late for me to post here, but I just wanted to give you a sense of where I am as a not-PUMA but very skeptical Hillary supporter...

In the spirit of democracy and equality - I would like to understand why no Democratic Party Leaders condemned the sexism and biased treatment that so affected Sen.Clinton's campaign. If the situation had been reversed - and Sen. Obama was discriminated against in the media during the primaries...if the media joked about instances of people holding signs at Obama's rallies that said  "SHINE MY SHOES" instead of signs at Clinton's rallies saying "IRON MY SHIRT".....if the democratic party leaders remained silent during this discrimination.....if the leaders tried to prematurely push the first African-American candidate out of the race when he was only slightly behind.. would anyone be surprised if groups formed left and right to talk about an issue bigger than party affiliation -- equality?
