Especially the republicans, who I think some way, some how, should have done more to expose what MSNBC was not going to expose, the caucus fraud and rigged accusations of racism against Hillary Clinton.<BR/><BR/>I think the republicans almost felt sorry for Hillary Clinton, but deep down, they also loved how she was treated by the democratic party last year.<BR/><BR/>Well, now they may get a taste of the very thing they watched Hillary go through. What's that saying about watching something happening to someone else and doing nothing, and then eventually they come for you to?<BR/><BR/>That's kind of what the republicans may be going through now, and it's what Hillary Clinton went through last year.Alessandro Machihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06316327488702524564noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1406748910519793683.post-52692828831324666352009-01-28T07:46:00.000-08:002009-01-28T07:46:00.000-08:00Allesandro,I was immediately put off by Obama's im...Allesandro,<BR/><BR/>I was immediately put off by Obama's impossibly arrogant comment of "I won" when he was allegedly trying to get the Repubs to cooperate with him on the stimulus package. How is that in-your-face posturing supposed to work in his favor? Obama is so full of himself, it's sickening. Is this what we have in store for the next four years?<BR/><BR/>Just because PUMAs are disgusted by Obama's continued condescension and arrogance toward anyone who disagrees with him doesn't mean we are all pro-Republican. I for one am not, and will never be, a supporter of the GOP.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1406748910519793683.post-70210549289971237442009-01-27T12:01:00.000-08:002009-01-27T12:01:00.000-08:00With the media being in the tank for Barack Obama,...With the media being in the tank for Barack Obama, PUMA's have to gauge what republicans say to get some semblance of balance.<BR/><BR/>What's happening is now that Barack Obama is president, there is the urge for PUMA's to say "I told you so" everytime Barack Obama does something now, that reminds us of how he was during the democratic race. <BR/><BR/>The "I won, you didn't" comment reminds us of the arrogance that was on display immediately after Barack cheated in the caucus contests and immediately demanded Hillary Clinton quit because 1 million caucus votes trumped the will of over 20-25 million voters AND the super delegates.<BR/><BR/>However, the republicans sure seem to be showing what sore losers they are and I don't think PUMA's should take everyone of their rants seriously.

It refers to those of us Clinton supporters who decided not to knuckle under and fall into lockstep when Obama beat Hillary in a rigged nomination process.

I thought it was a "hold Democrats accountable to their own principles" movement. Seems to me, pointing out that gloating, "nyah nanana I won" is bad form and likely to be counter-productive to a spirit of bi-partisanship, is a very PUMA thing to do.

Part of why I favored Hillary over Obama is that she is clearly a liberal by conviction, while I wasn't nearly so sure about him.<BR/><BR/>This is why I object to conflating PUMAs and Republicans. There was (for many) an alliance of convenience during the election, and there may continue to be so, but the two are not the same.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
