There is now one more day until November 4th rolls around and we still have sooooooooo many undecided voters, (or at least they say they are undecided), many of which are hitting my old site and a post that talks about Sarah Palin’s experience. Given that traffic, I thought it would be an excellent idea to repost an item from August 30th after John McCain made the excellent decision to nominate Sarah Palin as his Vice President. John McCain has done something the supposed “women-friendly” Democratic Party would not do – put a incredibly qualifed, energy expert on his ticket. Obama could have had the economy expert, Hillary Clinton, and he chose a 36 year, Washington Insider that REALLY LIKES THE CREDIT CARD COMPANIES and has horrible foreign policy judgement on his ticket; just check Biden’s record. If you are having a problem voting for John McCain, just think about how many of the republican base dislike him because he keeps voting common sense and FOR the American public. And as for being able to handle crisis’, do any of you think that John McCain is going to equivocate or fumble around after being in a POW camp for 5 YEARS?
The Obama camp and koolaid drinking Media are still bashing on Sarah Palin and they continue to say that Sarah Palin is not qualified to be VP and one heartbeat away from the Presidency. Sarah Palin has more executive experience than Barack Obama and Joe Biden put together, and she put together the $40 Billion Natural Gas Pipeline Deal to bring more energy to the lower 48; what has Obama or Biden done to help American citizens besides talk about “Hope, Change and Spreading The Wealth”? No wonder the Obama camp is trying desperately to discredit her. Below please find the comparison of Barack Obama vs. Sarah Palin from Audacity of Hypocrisy:

Puma For Palin: The Caribou Are Going To Take It!!!
Here is the definitive reason that Bambi Obama is going to lose. According to CBS News:
Palin’s father, Chuck Heath, says he and his wife were caribou hunting when they were told to come home and tune into their local radio station to hear “exciting news,” but said he did not know if his daughter was the choice for John McCain’s vice president.
Wow! Real human beings doing real activities in a real outdoorsy place like….come on, say it with me, like…..the rest of us. The 90% of the country that fishes, hunts, boats, kayaks, barbeques, rides motorcycles, tours the country by car for a summer vacation, has family reunions, etc., etc., etc., You know, those main street America folks that live in small towns and do small town things? That massive percentage of the population that grew up in small towns and live their whole lives there; getting married and having more small town people. Mainstreet America is moderate, conservative leaning. Yes, they may have to take a moment before pulling the lever for a woman VP, but then again, all the talking heads are saying this election is about the top of the ticket and what do we have on the top of the Democratic Ticket? An exotic, wandering, ladder climbing liberal that hasn’t accomplished anything except learning how to campaign for the presidency, “writing” books, and voting present or “wrong” numerous times; or voting against the American public. Has the American Public forgotten his vote giving the telecoms immunity for their illegal wiretapping of our phones. I just love that one….don’t you?
The MAJORITY of the American public can relate to this woman and her family. I know that I can growing up in Minnesota and playing hockey with my 6 brothers. I know I can every time I ride my motorcycle, go kayak fishing for mahi mahi or play catch with my young son. What Senator McCain has introduced to the American people is a real American, just like the rest of us.
If the corrupt democratic party wants to make this about Bambi vs Governor Palin, then please wander over here to Audacity of Deception & Hypocrisy and check out the chart this savvy American has put together for you. If I had any faith in Barack Obama, I might actually have voted for him, but after doing the research for the last EIGHT months and watching the DNC rig the election in favor of Bambi, there is no question that Bambi and the DNC are completely untrustworthy. I am not the only person in America or the only PUMA that believes this; and it would not matter to me if I was the only one; Country Before Party.
If Bambi Obama and the Corrupt DNC want to make fun of small town and middle America, then God help them, the caribou are going to take it all and I for one will be cheering as I was Friday morning when I watched a truly inspiring moment in American History. For those of you who may not have read or heard this before the Obama Camp tried to do a W.O.R.M. (what obama really meant), here is the money quote:
“Today, John McCain put the former mayor of a town of 9,000 with zero foreign policy experience a heartbeat away from the presidency,” spokesman Bill Burton said.
Let me see….we can have this as President and Leader of the Free World:
or we can have this as Vice President:
This is an excellent website….thanks for all of the information and pulling together for country first!
Thank you for the very helpful chart!
Please allow me to add that while Gov.Palin has to face sexism, from here and abroad, on a daily basis, Obama has the endorsements of misogynists like Hamas and the Islamists of Iran. ( of course this is a matter of national security for all too!) One more reason to say:Nobama!
First of all, this is great chart and I wish McCain had done something like this!
Second, I hope you got a lot of hits as a result of my push yesterday on your Socialism series, notably part 3. My stats said you were getting some, but I hope even more people have seen it@!
Finally, here’s my last big effort before the election (tomorrow is a really nice “respite” story will warm your heart…involving my dog, of course!). Anway, I finally got my piece on OBAMA finished. Just before election day, but it took ages to do it….
Read it and weep/get nervous! What is up with the word “world”???
Obama–A Look at the Personality Behind the Handwriting
http://insightanalytical.wordpress.com/2008/11/03/obama-a-look-at-the-personality-behind-the-handwriting/
ROAR PUMAS!!!
I am an Indonesian. I’m a republican and I want to say thank you so much for all of you PUMAS 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) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DyvRKm_rCWk. 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.
To make it long story short, during that rally I met with Tina Fey 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”:-) they said they really love Sarah. I told them about PUMA and Hillary supporter for Mcain/Palin and I gave them a copy of “justsaynodeal.com” site. I can see Tina’s father in law so surprised when I said what is PUMA stand for ha ha ha:-). Btw I think the team Sarah Palin who heard about them than asked them to join them to back stage. So COOL :).
Sarah Palin looks great and a lot of us here can’t wait Nov 4 to vote for McCain/Palin. YES I MEAN A LOT!! McCain/PAlin will win this election. MIRACLE WILL HAPPEN!. We just can’t wait this election to be over.
– I HAVE A SHORT STORY –
The next day 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 (not sure where the rally is but the local news show it on the tv screen with Sarah Palin wear the necklace). He said he really touched and he almost cry. He said it’s really personal to him.
This small things told me what kind of person Sarah Palin is.
INDONESIAN4McCain/Palin-PA. GO PUMAS!!
God Bless You All!
I think that this site should now concentrate on the election of Sarah Palin in 2012. She’ll have far more experience as head of an executive branch than even Hillary. Not only that but she’ll be able to run at the top of the rejuvenated ticket without that Senile old man McCain who is trying now to blame everything on her.
Go Sarah 2012!!! She’s the best hope for us wanting a woman in the White House once and for all!!! Please post a note and pay respects and tribute and support of Sarahland!
