PUMA's



Democrats: the gift that keeps on giving. It's been a great year, for watching the political goings-on and I expect the summer to be even better.

'Party Unity, My A**' - what the Pumas really stand for

Diehard Hillary Clinton supporters who still refuse to accept that the nomination race is over have given themselves a name, Pumas, and a logo that the in-house lawyers at the Puma sportswear brand might like to take a look at. In the network of blogs where the name originated, it stood for "Party Unity, My Ass!" - a defiant shout of opposition to the notion that they should fall silent in order to speed the healing of Democratic wounds. Now that the Pumas have formed their own fundraising committee, however, they seem to have had a change of heart. According to their site, Pumapac.org, Puma stands for "People United Means Action", an exactly opposite sentiment, prompting the thought that if they don't iron out such inconsistencies in their message very soon indeed, there's a serious chance that Clinton might not be the next president.

I am not a party unity man. I always vote for the Candidate I think will do the best job.

I am not voting for Mccain because he is a Republican. I am voting against Obama because I think he sucks.

Well, sure. That's because we (R's/C's) have minds of our own and most of us always have.

But the Dems have always had to toe tha party line and some are just really, really mad & they're not going to take that party unity stuff anymore! :handsonhipsstampingfoot:

I just thought it was funny when I saw them on Neal Cavuto today. (?) yesterday?! Anyway, I thought they were funny & looked it up. Hey, they might get over themselves by November, but it's still funny to watch. I can't remember ever seeing such shenanigans in the Dems before.

Maybe that's not true after all.

Might just be another swindle.

I wouldn't put anything past any of them! They're blaming it on Republicans AND Obama supporters, too.

Hey, your post is linked at the bottom of that article - did you know that?
