Stupid Stupid PUMAs

[TheBigotBasher]

Do you know this is probably one of the very few times that I agree with the idiot UppityWoman.

http://uppitywoman08.wordpress.com/2010/01/12/now-who-is-this-man-if-he-were-a-woman-it-would-be-important-so-nevermind

There is a real need for more women in politics. Iran has more women in politics than the US. A fact that should shame America.

Pumas supported Coakley, because of her loyalty to Hillary.

However because PUMAs love a bitter gossip monger who has a buzz, someone who is supposedly gay but "outs" a Republican he opposes, just before a Primary and who claims to have supported Hillary but really just opposed Obama says no to the woman, the so called pro woman PUMA group turns around and FULLY hates on the woman candidate. So much for sexism.

They are being taken in by a gossip monger. No wonder I call them stupid.

1. I think we should leave the puma stuff out of here n/t

[TheBigotBasher]

2. I strongly disagree.

This is where we support President Obama and rather than use this as a corner to hide in, we should use this as a corner to expose their racism and find ways of dealing with it.

11. I agree with Sandsea, I feel that the use of an inflammitory term like PUMAs

only serves to inflame passions. If we hope to improve things here it will be by winning of hearts and minds, not by pissing people off or having fence sitters think we are some sort of fringe group (which I think using terms like PUMA paints us as).

13. My mind must be going

because every time I see the term, I have to look it up all over again.

I supported Hillary in the primary, but I'm not bitter in the slightest, and I grin every time I see her as Secretary of State.

Things worked out exactly as they were supposed to. She's great, and so is our President.

3. Perhaps the story has changed because now at the link

there is a nude shot of Scott Brown. :blush:

So much for the puma controversy. :rofl:

4. Look at her replies

(to be fair she let me reply). My targets are on "Hillbuzz". Heavily promoted by Rush Limpballs. I am building up sufficient evidence of them as a hate site campaigning for Brown; they raised a very large amount of money for Brown. If he does not want to be associated with hate he should give the money back.

In addition, as far as I am concerned, those associated with extreme right hate sites should NEVER be able to stand for the Democratic Party.

6. Okay, I found it and agreed with you two

until it came to the health care reform. You did good though. She is something else and I don't think that is a good thing in this instant. :)

5. All I can say is

I hope to God Coakley wins, or the health care bill is sunk before it ever got afloat.

[TheBigotBasher]

7. Possibly.

In some ways sinking it may be good, but not an agenda that says it goes too far. America will end up with nothing for the next 16 years. And yes I really do think it will be another 16 years before this is touched again.

If the Rethug is elected ahead of Coakley can you imagine what that will do to the blue dogs in the Senate. They will move so far right that Bush will look Liberal.

This is one of the main reasons I am really really pissed with people like the Green Party poster from that Stock Car racing State; they want it all to fail so that there is some happy pretty anarchic revival. Sorry it does NOT work that way.

8. I think the bill,

whatever form it takes, is worth passing as long as it does away with pre-existing conditions.

I've said it's my opinion that it will be 15-20 years before we see ANYTHING again if this thing doesn't pass, and I think that's true.

We really needed significant finance campaign reform before this was tried. It's so obvious that the legislators are too dependent on insurance company campaign contributions to be truly working for the American people on this.

[TheBigotBasher]

9. You are exactly right.

No one will touch this again for another generation. The initial reforms of equal rights and social security were a pile of crap but they were then improved.

If Coakley loses, the message sent is not that the bill is not good enough, it is simply that it goes too far.

(I do worry you have a video feed of me on your sig)

[TicketyBoo]

12. Not to worry.

I do worry you have a video feed of me on your sig

We must be twins, then!

10. Teaches me right

This part of DU is not private and remains searchable.

Lesson learnt.

14. BB, for what it's worth I appreciate your efforts on this site to expose the racism

within the Democratic party. Far too many like to pretend that racism and racial prejudice are only Republican/Christian/Southern etc. problems when in fact, they plague our entire society and always have.

The fact that educated, "liberals" who live in NYC and Connecticut or wherever are just as guilty of bigotry is something that I think everyone should be exposed to, because the people of color who live in these regions don't have the option of ignoring this stuff or pretending that it doesn't exist. I, for one, appreciate what you're trying to do on DU.
