It's not the just the PUMAs that McCain is going after, it's the fundies too

1. But, they cut off the anti-women ones. So that's a silver lining.

2. How do you go after something that doesn't exist?

It's like Bush looking for WMD. Never were any.

PUMA Pretty Unbelievable Media Apparatus

3. Right

The PUMA's were going to vote for McCain regardless. Those people are swiftboaters who were probably not even going to vote for Hillary had she won the nomination. Selecting Palin is like selecting Huckabee since the conservatives will be energized. But the women thing is only shit that is being pushed by the media who actually see PUMA as a legit group.

5. Palin is just a beard for the PUMAs

Great talk show and internetage fodder.

Until someone points out that Palin is against Hillary Clinton ever stood, so the jig would be UP!

6. The PUMA hurt McCain

Since PUMA lead him to make a pick that panders to people he cannot seduce: the real Clinton supporters.

4. I think he's after the fundies more than the PUMAs.

True PUMAs are mythical creatures like chupacabras and yetis. There can't be more than a minuscule number of actual Democrats (as opposed to Republican ringers) who are so honked off about Hillary that they would vote for McAncient over Obama in the first place, regardless of whether the old boy chose a female running mate. I think the real target is the batshit crazy fundie vote. The lunatic fringe has always mistrusted McAncient because, as barking mad as he is, he's never been really down with the Jesus-freakery and Gawd-botherin' faction. Miss Wasilla's anti-choice, creationist, speaking-in-tongues, Jesus rode a dinosaur to church moonbatism will -- he hopes -- get that crowd up from rolling on the ground waving rattlesnakes long enough to vote for his old ass.

Of course, she'll scare the crap out of everyone else. I think this proves McAncient has really gone off the rails.

7. The PUMA thing is a dodge. It's as phony as the day is long.

Some Hillary supporters are falling for this. It is most definitely a dirty trick and is just one of the plans the Rove worshipers have waiting in the wings just in case Hillary was not picked. There are more tricks waiting just for about any basic scenario.
The reason I know this is because I have some inside information. You are also going to see more racist tricks. The HANG image behind Obama in one of McOld's ads is just one. You are going to see Joe Biden attacked like no other VP candidate has been attacked before. The Re-Pubic-Rats are not moral people. They just play moral people on TV. You cannot be moral and approve of killing innocent people based on a lie or the deaths of people in a disaster or the deaths of people because they do not have health care.
