The Issues

If you haven't noticed *grin*, I absolutely hate, PUMA and all their ilk. I hate them for the following reasons:

1. They don't care about the issues. This is evident. There is NO WAY that you can justify voting for McCain and telling me that you care about the issues. Hillary and McCain are polar opposites. Don't tell me you care about Hillary's issues but you're voting for McCain. That's a lie. What you really mean is that you support Hillary the public persona, not her issues. Which leads me to #2.

2. PUMA is a fan club, not a political group. If they are a political group...what issues are they supporting? Apparently it's John McCain's platform, because that's who they want to vote for. It's very confusing because it would seem a lot easier to just join the Republican Party if you believe in Republican policies.

3. They've degraded themselves and can't even see it. Fox News has become their favorite and primary source of information. They aren't able to see how Fox News keeps them in a state of anger and outrage because Fox News is a Republican tool and always has been. They quickly forget the 8 years of slanderous attacks that Fox News waged on Hillary because they want to use PUMA - and are using them quite successfully. And then will be shocked once the election is over and Fox News returns to their Hillary Hating ways.

4. The arguments they make only make sense to other PUMA members and so it becomes a series of denials and subsequent shocks and the emotional pain follows as a result of setting yourself up for failure.

Examples:

(Hillary should stop the negative attacks on Obama because if she loses it’ll split the party.)
That doesn’t matter! Hillary will win and we will all rally behind her![Hillary loses.]
The party is divided. It’s Obama’s fault! He ran a sexist campaign!

(Hillary lost NC and can’t possibly win the nomination now. She should end her campaign.)
Hillary CAN win and she should fight to the end!
[Hillary loses and goes into millions of dollars in debt.]
How did this happen? I’m angry! Obama should pay off her debt!

(Hillary is not going to be vice-president because of the decisions she made during the campaign season.)
Hillary will be VP! Obama/Clinton 08! The party will be united even though I hate Obama because he’s sexist and racist.[Obama picks Biden.]
I’m angry! Why didn’t he pick Hillary? I’m voting for McCain!

At every step in this process, everyone seems to have known what was going to happen EXCEPT Hillary supporters. And it’s either because they only watch Fox News now, or because they are denying reality.


They also design twisted self-fulfilling prophesies. Democrats can’t win, and to prove it I’m going to vote Republican and then say “I told you so”. That doesn’t prove your point. That just makes you a Republican infiltrator, which means you have to be driven out of the party. A vote for McCain, is a vote for Republican ideology, policies and values which go against Democratic ideals at every level. Obama and Hillary are in the same party. Hillary is not a Republican. A vote for McCain is a vote against Hillary!
