i am supporting the mccain-palin ticket because:
Written by guest heeler Prameela Bartholomeusz
DNC Platform Committee Member
…it is about principle for me.
What motivates you this election season? My passion was inspired by a strong desire to see our country turn the corner after eight years of an administration and a congress that has failed us. Democrats and Republicans alike, in Congress, are responsible for the current economic crisis under the leadership of George W. Bush, Nancy Pelosi, Harry Reid and Barney Frank. My journey began with the hope of giving back to the country that has given me so much. My family immigrated to the US when I was four years old. Mine is yet another story of how with hard work, one can live the American dream.
I have admired Sen. Clinton from her days as First Lady and saw in her a brilliant woman who would one day make a great president. I volunteered and campaigned for Sen. Clinton in seven states, organizing, fundraising, making calls and knocking on doors. It was one of the most rewarding experiences of my life. Sen. Clinton’s dedication to education, healthcare reform, advocacy of women’s causes and her work with the Children’s Defense Fund inspired me and I hoped that I could contribute in some way in addressing issues such as domestic violence and the plight of children that are thus affected.
It was my great honor to have been selected by the Clinton campaign to serve on the DNC Platform Committee. The opportunity provided me a voice that my vote for her during the primaries never did. Eighteen million voices were silenced. Sen. Clinton was never vetted and considered for the VP slot, while a male candidate that received 63,100 votes, who voted to authorize the war and is a long-time Washington insider was selected in her place. It is said that this decision was made against the advice of senior Obama advisors and was the sole will of Barack and Michelle Obama.
To Sen. Clinton supporters, Sen. Obama has never asked for our support and has maintained that he does not need our vote to win on Nov 4th. Sen. Clinton won the popular vote and won every primary except in Illinois. Sen. Obama won his delegate lead in the caucus states that were fraught with documented fraud and was ignored just as voter registration fraud by Acorn is currently. After Florida and Michigan were finally seated with a full vote by the DNC Credentials Committee at the convention, the pledged delegate gap between Clinton & Obama was only 17 delegates (I heard recently that number is 4); without superdelegates.
Track Record Is An Indicator
1) Sen. Obama, while a good man and an accomplished orator, does not have the level of experience required for a commander-in-chief.
2) He has had no notable accomplishments while in the Illinois State Senate nor in the US Senate (in the 143 days he served).
3) As chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Subcommittee on European Affairs, Sen. Obama admittedly held no oversight hearings on Afghanistan.
4) Illinois has the highest tax rates (10.25% sales tax) with one of the highest deficits in the country; Sen. Obama voted 96 times for higher taxes that affected the middle class. Sen. Obama is a big spender; this translates into higher taxes for all.
5) There is no evidence of being an agent of change; his district continues to have high rates of crime, unemployment and foreclosures.
6) Sen. Obama has run on judgment to trump experience. His associations with the indicted developer and good friend, Tony Rezko; his spiritual mentor, Rev. Wright from whom he has distanced himself after 20 years, Bill Ayers, the domestic terrorist with whom he shares some socialist views and with Rashid Khalidi, about whom the LA Times will not share more information, are unsettling.
7) The meteoric rise of Sen. Obama’s political star was on the back of the pervasive corruption of the Chicago political machine. A marriage of Washington style and Chicago style politics would breed a super strain of corruption unparalleled in our nation’s history and is not the solution to our nation’s economic recovery or peace efforts.
Sen. Obama’s silence on the issues of sexism and equality for women are telling of what women may expect under an Obama Administration.
9) Every word and deed of Sen. McCain’s career as a public servant is a matter of public record; Sen. Obama’s have been either sealed, fabricated or distorted.
Country First
I am supporting the McCain/Palin ticket because:
1) I believe in their message of reform; Sen. McCain has never taken earmarks and
promises to veto such funding as President.
2) Sen. McCain has served this nation for 27 years and has been tested.
3) Democrats have endorsed Sen. McCain over the years. Sen. Biden endorsed a
“unity” Kerry/McCain ticket in 2004 while he said that the presidency is not
conducive to “on the job training” when referring to Sen. Obama.
4) The McCain/Palin plan for energy independence is comprehensive. This is one of
Gov. Palin’s strengths.
5) We are headed for a filibuster-proof Congress, threatening the checks and
balances among the branches of government; partisanship will reign if this comes
to fruition.
6) There will be no tax increases which is the right formula at a time of recession,
rising unemployment rates and diminished retirement accounts.
7) Their goal is transparency in government; the McCain campaign accounts for
every dollar of campaign contributions.
Our reproductive rights are not at stake; Roe vs. Wade is a state issue and
the sovereignty of the states will be upheld, regardless of the justices appointed.
9) With this strong, qualified woman on the ticket, we have an advocate for women
and children. In Alaska, she had declared October 2008 Domestic Violence
Awareness Month and has made it known that she will be an advocate for special
needs children..
10) Gov. Palin has fought corruption in her home state of Alaska; she did not
embrace corruption for political advantage.
11) Gov. Palin has executive experience in the largest state of the union, one that
faces some of the broadest challenges, where she has been effective and as governor has had the highest approval rating in the country.
12) This team believes in governing in a bipartisan manner and will ensure a place for everyone at the table.
I am convinced reform in Washington will only happen with a McCain/Palin administration. I am a Democrat voting on democratic principle and putting country first on November 4th. My vote for Sen. Clinton didn’t count and if you voted for her, neither did yours. Eighteen million voices were silenced this election cycle. The McCain/Palin campaign has reached out to us, has respected us and has listened to us. Do not stay home or write Hillary in. I urge EVERY Hillary Clinton supporter to prove that YOUR vote DOES matter on November 4th. Put country first.
Patriotism is not short, frenzied outbursts of emotion, but the tranquil and steady dedication of a lifetime. - Adlai Stevenson

how many times can you say delusional? Here’s what
delusional: the idea that this country wouldl elect a candidate with NO record of accomplishments, a candidate who received a huge pile of money from questionable sources, a candidate with a history of disreputable friends and associatesc, and a candidate who agreed to the use of voter intimidation, character assination, misogyny and the disenfranchisement of half his party to secure its nomination, THAT’A DELUSIONAL

Strip away all of the rhetoric and answer what he did to help the poor people of Chicago and fight the cronyism in Chicago politics.

I too am one of the 18 million sile nced Hillary supporters.
My vote tomorrow will not be silenced. I’m thankful that I live in a ‘battleground’ state and maybe .. just maybe .. this PUMA vote will help McCain/Palin paint PA Red!
Obama never asked for our vote - he just assumes he will automatically get it.. nope! Not this one single vote ..
I knew nothing about Sarah Palin other than she was Governor of Alaska when she asked for my vote.. You know what .. She got it!

on November 3rd, 2008 at 2:53 pm
tbone you still don’t understand what is at stake here. I don’t think you really are interested in understanding, I think you just come here to spread your maniacal kool aid. This is about the integrity of the process of one person/one vote. This is about integrity in the process. Its about character, its about trust. Its about honor, its about service, its about country. Not about Obama’s blind ambition to be the first African American in the White House. And to Obama that is what this election is all about. Bragging rights. He has done NOTHING to benefit his district, He had done NOThing to benefit this country. He has no record of achievement. He was a community organizer for a little while, accomplishing little, before he decided to run for the state senate, just for a little before he decided to run for the US senate, just for a little while before deciding he had paid his dues and should be president. But he accomplished absolutely nothing. Zip. Nada. Name one single thing this man accomplished in the state senate except for voting present. Name one single thing this man accomplished in the US Senate before deciding to be President. What in this man’s record, what there is of it, leads you to believe he can accomplish one single thing?

McCain on Tv, they are waving yellow signs behind him. Red and yellow make orange (PUMA). Thomas Jefferson is the light (yellow).

Great article. I believe everything you wrote, except for #1. “…is a good man”. No he isn’t. No good man or woman would allow the caucus fraud, misogynism, and outright theft of votes that Obama encouraged. By his silence on much, he encouraged more.
NOT a good man.
on November 3rd, 2008 at 4:54 pm
I am supporting McCain/Palin because they represent everything that is honorable about the United States. They have loving, devoted families and the respect of their colleagues and constituents. They also have the best interests of the country at heart and are the best choice at this very challenging time.
as far as the alternative, barack of the “middle finger”, he is strikingly juvenile and self-serving. his supporters are in for a rude awakening, and many of them need to grow up, as well.

on November 3rd, 2008 at 5:14 pm
Er, tbone, you come to a site named hirehills and advocate
rape? That takes some cognizant disconnect.
McCain is a decent man who has a deep respect for all people, including those with whom he disagrees. There’s a story of how Mrs. Clinton was given the cold shoulder when she first arrived in the Senate. One senator greeted her warmly, showed her around and found that they got along beautifully. That senator was John McCain.
In case you’ve never read this, I’m taking the liberty of copying it here. It’s the story of Mo Udall and John McCain. Really, he’s an impressive man. A Man for All Seasons:
Glenn Reynolds points out this story from Slate that I somehow missed the first time. It’s about McCain and Morris Udall, an Arizona Democrat that helped McCain settle in at the beginning of his political career in Washington DC. The following is from 1996 (Morris Udall died in 1998):
For the past few years, Udall has lain ill with Parkinson’s disease in a veterans hospital in Northeast Washington, which is where we were heading. Every few weeks, McCain drives over to pay his respects. These days the trip is a ceremony, like going to church, only less pleasant. Udall is seldom conscious, and even then he shows no sign of recognition. McCain brings with him a stack of newspaper clips on Udall’s favorite subjects: local politics in Arizona, environmental legislation, Native American land disputes, subjects in which McCain initially had no particular interest himself. Now, when the Republican senator from Arizona takes the floor on behalf of Native Americans, or when he writes an op-ed piece arguing that the Republican Party embrace environmentalism, or when the polls show once again that he is Arizona’s most popular politician, he remains aware of his debt to Arizona’s most influential Democrat.
[snip]
A nurse entered and seemed surprised to find anyone there, and it wasn’t long before I found out why: Almost no one visits anymore. In his time, which was not very long ago, Mo Udall was one of the most-sought-after men in the Democratic Party. Yet as he dies in a veterans hospital a few miles from the Capitol, he is visited regularly only by a single old political friend, John McCain. “He’s not going to wake up this time,” McCain said.
On the way out of the parking lot, McCain recalled what it was like to be a nobody called upon by a somebody. As he did, his voice acquired the same warmth that colored Russell Feingold’s speech when he described the first call from John McCain. “When you called Feingold … ” I started to ask him. But before I could, he interrupted. “Yeah,” he says, “I thought of Mo.” And then, for maybe the third time that morning, McCain spoke of how it affected him when Udall took him in hand. It was a simple act of affection and admiration, and for that reason it meant all the more to McCain. It was one man saying to another, We disagree in politics but not in life. It was one man saying to another, party political differences cut only so deep. Having made that step, they found much to agree upon and many useful ways to work together. This is the reason McCain keeps coming to see Udall even after Udall has lost his last shred of political influence. The politics were never all that important.

I agree completely with your post Prameela and thank you for reminding me why i not only was disgusted with “the One” but supported McCain/Palin. Obama has engendered the same feelings I instinctively had as a small child for Richard Nixon — disgust and fear. I told my then republican mom (when seeing nixon on tv) that “he is a bad man, mommy”) and she sent me to bed with a spanking. I was right then, and I feel the same about O. An orator and a fraud, but no leader in a time of great national peril. I think McCain is kind of a dim bulb, but his heart is in the right place and he will try to do what’s right. Unfortunately a lot of people have been mesmerized by the smooth Obama bs and are flocking to him like migrating salmon. Even the Clintons have take up his cause. Painful to see.

I am an Indonesian. I’m a republican and I want to say thank you so much for all of you PUMA from the bottom of my heart. Obama associate really scare me. I have been spread the words about PUMA’s site to A LOT of my friends and also at Sarah Palin rally (I gave out some of copy “justsaynodeal.com” front page site with a lot of different site on it).
I was at Sarah Palin rally here in Erie PA (Thu, oct 30). Tom Ridge said they didn’t expected the building will be so full. Yes 8000 peoples there with only 3 days notice. A lot of my friends can’t go because they have to work. Btw my 2 Democrat neighbor love Sarah Palin too but can’t go to see her. I’m pretty sure still o lot of them out there.
they said they really love Sarah . I told them about PUMA and a copy of “justsaynodeal.com” site and I can see Tina’s father in law so surprised when I said what is PUMA stand for ha ha ha 
.
During that rally I met with Tina Fay parents in law and sister in law. Tina’s parents in law came from Ohio (about 3 hours drive) just want to see their “doughter in law”
Sarah Palin looks great and a lot of us here can’t wait Nov 4 to vote for McCain/Palin
I have a short story.
On Oct 31 I watched local news. This guy a small business owner and they sale hand made jewelry. He said he gave Sarah Palin a necklace (the nekclace is square and red color) during Sarah Palin rally here in Erie.. Than the next day when he watch tv he saw Sarah Palin wear that necklace. He said he really touched and almost cry. He said it’s really personal to him.
This small things told me what kind of person Sarah Palin is.

er, t-bone is it?
So one of the posts asks you for accomplishments, where are they again? ohhhhhh right, you posted a link the NYT right? So if I show you a post on how great McCain is from a conservative leaning newspaper that’s valid as well right?
c’mon dude, you have no argument, you have no vaild reason to vote for barry, none, you can try and reason it out all you want but the bottom line is there are only 2 reasons to vote for barry, either you’re doing it out of hatred for Bush, which is pretty stupid and extremely hypocritical considering how peaceful and united and loving all you bo people are, or you’re doing it just because he’s a dem, which is, yet another stupid reason as party loyalty is NEVER a good reason to pick a candidate, never has been, never will be, ever. Your “argument” or points or whatever is silly, irrelevant, and you will never be able to say with a plain face or without a conscience that barry has the experience, the skills, the BACKGROUND, the knowledge, the humility, he has no known history of ever successfully doing anything, everything he touches ends in failure. If you really do want to make some kind of “case”, here’s a few things to think about:
1. campaign spending - are you kidding me? you want barry to manage this country’s wealth? be in charge of some kind budget with a partisan congress after the way he’s been spending this election season?
2. compare the 2 candidates senate districts - take a look at what barry did in his wake, take a look at what McCain did, is this what you really want? a 1 year senator who botched a housing project and left tons of people homeless running our nation? I prefer the 27 year variety who has a history of solid legislative accomplishments, I’m not saying he has a perfect track record, but compared to barry’s, it might as well be.
3. Integrity/ commitment - Do you really know where barry stands mr. tbone? can you really sit there and tell me where he stands on anything? You say he supports hillary’s this and that, how do you know? let’s just say he did for your sake, okay, do you really think he still will after he’s elected? what about fisa? campaign financing? all the other things he’s flip flopped on?
Neither candidate is perfect obviously, but on one hand you get an experienced and vetted senator who has served his country, has a solid record compared to his opponent, and most importantly, I know where’s he from, what he’s done, and where he stands. On the other hand, you get an inexperienced, immature, little figurehead for moveon.org and all the other things wrong with this country. I don’t know where barry is from (still?!?!?!?!), I don’t know of any single thing he’s accomplished, even being a great speaker is debunked since he “borrows” from other speeches constantly, even uses song lyrics for crying out loud, and I most 1000% definitely do not know where he stands on any one single issue, not one, I can’t sit here and think of a single one, because as soon as you think he’s got a stance, he’ll change it to whatever suits his approval rating or ego or whatever else.
Go ahead my man, try and argue for him, tell us we’re all stupid for not voting for him, rant on and on about how he’ll win tomorrow. Here’s the truth for you though, a victory for obama is a HUGE loss for our country, a victory for McCain is not. For that reason alone, I voted McCain, and I pity you and the rest of your ilk who just don’t get it.
Sorry, long post.

re: reading the exit polls
date: november 3, 2008
as we have seen in previous election cycles, the exit poll results do leak early and that ends up influencing the coverage of the race before even the first state polls close at 6:00 pm eastern.
however, we want to remind the campaign that the media’s own post-election study of the exit polls in 2004 showed that the exit polls overstate the democratic candidate’s support. therefore, we would discourage a rush to judgment based on the exit polls and wait until there has been a representative sampling of actual tabulated results from a variety of counties and precincts in a state.
here are the key points to keep in mind when the exit poll data starts being leaked:
1. historically, exit polls have tended to overstate the democratic vote.
2. the exit polls are likely to overstate the obama vote because obama voters are more likely to participate in the exit poll.
3. the exit polls have tended to skew most democratic in years where there is high turnout and high vote interest like in 1992 and 2004.
4. it is not just the national exit poll that skews democratic, but each of the state exit polls also suffers from the same democratic leanings.
5. the results of the exit polls are also influenced by the demographics of the voters who conduct the exit polls.
on November 3rd, 2008 at 7:53 pm
Because…….Senator McCain won his party’s nomination, fair and square. He was chosen by the Republican electorate rather than party elders and ruthless politicians. The Republican party did not hand the nomination to him on a silver platter; he worked for it, and he earned it. He did not win by rigging the state voting order, disenfranchising two states, allowing fraud, cheating, threats and intimidation; Senator McCain did not shut down the roll call vote or threaten/intimidate republicans supporting another candidate. Senator McCain’s life is an open book; his record clearly visible; his mistakes known and admitted. He ran an honorable campaign, based on the issues, against a deceiver and a demagogue. Senator McCain chose his running mate, a qualified and accomplished female politician, the Governor of her state. In so doing, he asked us for our vote and gave women respect, understanding, and equality. I cast my vote early, with 100 percent confidence in the honorable McCain/Palin ticket

Final polls tight in key states, with Obama enjoying small advantage
The final round of Mason-Dixon polls has Obama enjoying small leads in the red states that would deliver him the presidency, but he’s below 50 percent in each and there are enough white undecided voters to leave some too close to call.
Colorado: Obama 49, McCain 44, Undecided 4
Florida: Obama 47, McCain 45, Undecided 7
Nevada: Obama 47, McCain 43, Undecided 8
Pennsylvania: 47, McCain 43, Undecided 9
Virginia: Obama 47, McCain 44, Undecided 9
Ohio: McCain 47, Obama 45, Undecided 6
Missouri: McCain 47, Obama 46, Undecided 5
North Carolina: McCain 49, Obama 46, Undecided 5
As Brad Coker, who runs the Mason-Dixon poll, notes, the vast majority of the undecided voters in these states are white

Morning everybody! The big day is here! This campaign seemed like an eternity and was a rollercoaster which makes the Busch gardens look like a retiring home!
It is show time and letting all the events pass in front of my eyes with all their twists and turns, it all of a sudden becomes very simple and clear. There is nothing without principles. If you strip away all the debates, the sound bites, the Greek columns, the MSM and the financial crisis, leadership ultimately needs to be rooted in principles. You either have it or you don’t. You can’t build character over 20 months or read it if off a teleprompter.
The most suave lover can whipser sweet nothing into your ear (and I am the first one to admit that I would like that a loooot), but that will ultimately wear off. Every country deserves leaders with principles, however, at a time like this with multiple challenges ahead the need for leadership is even higher.
The country needs a leader with personal integrity, rather then somebody who will flip flop thru the challenges ahead. The country can’t risk electing a candidate only to find out that the future POTUS might consider a particularly tricky crisis above his pay grade. Joe Bidden to the rescue – I don’t think so!
Comparing the two candidates, well there is no comparison is there? The list of questions which hang over Senator Obama’s character is long (Ayers, Rezko, Acorn, campaign financing, primaries, sexism, birth certificate, accomplishments etc). Interestingly the campaign has never even tried to address the concerns of the people of the USA. Well, I guess it is because the answers are uncomfortable and don’t make BO electable – it is rather easier to scream racisms and get the MSM into the tank!
In my choices of friends I have always been drawn to people with personal integrity who will stand up for their believes rather then people who will I try to please me at all cost. I think this is also an excellent guidance when it comes to choose politicians! Ultimately you get what you vote for and the beauty of democrazy is that you can vote for whoever you like – yes we can! So let’s show the world what a Real puma roar sounds like -thundering!!

where is Obama’s birth certificate? if he is forein born (as his Kenyan grand mother says) it is illegal for him to become president. he helped an illegal aunt to come here, stay here and receive illegal housing subsidies. that is illegal! let’s ask our senators to start the process of impeachment against him right away, no matter who wins.

Today, November 4, 2008, I voted for McCain Palin.
For the first time in my life, I voted for a female candidate on a national ticket (I was too young to vote when GF was on the Dem ticket). It was a very proud moment for me and privilege to have this right to vote. I took a moment and focused on the ballot, seeing Sarah Palin’s name as well as Cynthia McKinney and Rosa Clemente.
Although progress for women this election year is dimmed by the hate from the left (including and especially the old feminists), I don’t want to disount the historical importance of this day for me.
To all of you, go vote . . . its your right and your privilege.

good morning all whell at last the big day is here ,
today pumanation roars.
on November 4th, 2008 at 8:50 am
I voted McCain Palin because my vote in the primary for Hillary was deleted by cheating a holes formerly known as the democratic party. Palin wasn’t a deciding factor for me because I was in Washington for the so called “rulz” meeting and decided right then and there what I was going to do.
Never going back, Not forgetting, Not forgiving the unforgivable. And EVEN IF the misogynist wins and takes Larry Summers to the White House cabinet with him…I will spend the next four years doing all I can to help get Gigi’s film and the whole truth out to middle America. And so heap the disgrace upon the teleprompter jesus he so richly deserves and earned.
I voted McCain/Palin because the Soroscrats stole this election in the primaries from me and as a woman I resent the hell out of that having had a g. grandmother who was a suffragette.
As a happy coincidence all the green party down ticket candidates were women. I voted them each and every one.
ROCK YOUR BLOCK!! Take your neighbors to vote McCain today!!

I live in the southern part of Va - and I honestly feel it will go for McCain/Palin - I have been extremely worried about northern Va - glad to see the post from EGBOK321! Keep up the good work! Together we can keep our country from the corruption that kept Hillary off the ticket!

This is a sincere thank you for your work, your dedication and for keeping a place open for real hope. I, BTW, luv my heels! Never mentioned that. I particularly love wearing them to church and hearing the whispering about that old lady with “the shoes”? Last year, I also started wearing hats. That way no one notices the wrinkles!
But thank you, thank you. I don’t think a country can go wrong when they put principle before all else.

Hello to all, and a special thanks to the five heels who gave us a place to be ourselves and be heard. I am just back from voting. ballot in my hand it was the easiest vote I ever cast. My pen was almost guided to the McCain Palin box by some unseen force from within. After all the agonizing, arguing, retreating in silence, it came down to a simple matter of trust.
beautifully put, bbstyle…i felt the same way (about the ‘trust’)

Thank you for all the work and wonderful wit. Please, everyone, don’t just disappear. Fighting for your country isn’t a one shot deal. It would be wonderful it we had pulled it off and could get on with reclaiming our party, but, it didn’t work that way. Think of all the power we were up against!
Six hundred million dollars, most of the media, help from the courts, and a half asleep electorate that wasn’t really listening, and certainly wasn’t reading.
Add in voter fraud of several types, then check out the final tallies and be as amazed as I am that we did so much. There will be more to do. There will be obscene legislation to check on, and in two years, when we have begun the monumental slide to socialism, people will need help getting Pelosi and Reid out.
We just got started, rest up, and come back ready for the next round.
