It was the moment of truth at the May 31 rally – the first clear PUMA roar – before PUMA even had a name. It was the speech that inspired the name of this blog – this being the only connection between the two.
To be clear: I am in the audience, not making the speech.

I was a crazy bitch too
More important than seeing progress on social justice, equality, civil rights, human rights, the Constitution and any strongly held belief is electing my chosen candidate. I have drunk from the fountain and I have seen the promised land. There is only one deliverer. Like a child, I will take my marbles and would rather play with no one than play without my idol. I am a sad withered husk of a woman, fill me my deliverer. I am PUMA, hear me roar…
Wait is that the sound of my voice, no it is an echo chamber. I will associate with only those who share my idol. As a child I would not associate with those who though John Lennon was better than Paul McCartney. I will not gain wisdom with time and experience, no I will remain a child awaiting my newest idol to fill me with value. I have not learned that I have intrinisic value within myself. I have not learned that it is unwise to ever fall in love with a candidate, for you will always be disappointed. We are all human, no one, not even those I have fallen in love with can measure up to my insane expectations. I must learn reality based thinking and move away from magical thinking.
I will vote my nations best interest, not for my own selfish design, I will play with those who share my values and desires for a better country. I have gained wisdom. I will not insult those who agree with me, but make mistakes. I will not continue the cult of political correctness. I will vote for Obama,

How’s that “better country” thing working out for you all?
Gitmo closed yet?
Troops home yet?
DADT repealed?
Healthcare reform instituted?
Bank regulation achieved?
Insurance monopolies busted?
Families saved from foreclosure?
Oh, and by the way, “crazy bitch” is just as vile a slur as “shiftless darkie.”
Go play with those who share your “values”. We grown-ups have work to do.

Your insults aside, your ‘choice” candidate stand for anything in particular and whatever he says today is the opposite of what he said in the primary
http://edgeoforever.wordpress.com/2008/07/07/the-flip-flop-list/
So it’s in fact you are no more than a groupie for your “chosen” candidate.
But nice stereotyping. To think I gave all my information about me politically – there was no need for speculation. For a follower of a candidate who perpetually sees himself victimized by stereotyping, you guys seem to have the art down pat. You didn’t get one right. Not even my Beatle of choice . It was George for being the best musician.

Conservatives will revel in the irony if disgruntled women voters give McCain the votes he needs to win and, in their view, finally guarantee the Supreme Court Majority that will overturn Roe v. Wade. Of course much of the reason for the current court majority is that Republicans who disagree on various things–taxation, immigration, war, abortion, etc.–manage to put aside their differences to vote for one bad nominee after another. As a result, we’ve all lost–but progressives have lost the most. And other than the increased numbers of soldiers likely to die and their families, those who care about women’s rights probably will be the biggest losers if McCain wins.
On the other hand, I suppose cutting off your nose to spite your face would make it easier to stick your head up your butt.

No the best Beatle was always George. I work for his website now and should know. lol.
There are insults here which are non talking points. They are rhetoric to explain away any legitimate complaints of caucus fraud, cheating voters and under handed sham roll calls. It’s just easier to repeat mantras than deal with facts for some. Better to “dismiss” as “bitter” and just sore “losers” than to investigate or vet the chosen one. Projection is an art form in the Obama camp…so it seems is calling women certain misogynistic names as a way to “justify” and bully.
*YAWN*
The purpose of seeking justice is honorable…it’s shocking to see those calling themselves liberal who claim to care about “issues” now going blindly about ignoring justice and continuing to insult women.
I suspect we’re dealing with an MTV mentality and a horrible showing of what NCLB has wrought.
PUMA is born out of voter fraud, injustice and the Chicago machine taking over the democratic party. Thuggery choosing our candidates and bullying mafia style till they get what they want for their own gain all in the name of “progress”
Thanks but, no thanks.
I’m not shutting up about these injustices, PUMA is not going away no matter who “wins” and if Hillary is blamed for Obama’s thuggery and lies and cheating then I’ll continue to remember that when I go to the polls for years to come.

I must say, that I could not agree with you in 100%, but that’s just my IMHO, which could be very wrong.
p.s. You have a very good template . Where have you got it from?

The template is my own photo – from the May 31 protests of the RBC ruling.
