A good pep talk, but I think the PUMA strategy of lying to pollsters to give the Obama camp a "false sense of security" is not that impressive. The hubris of the Obama campaign is the definition of over-confidence. BO needs a dose of political reality IMHO. I'd like to see more evidence that there can be "PUMA Effect" to benefit McCain.

McCain has ditched conservatism. Without it, he is not going to win the election. If its a choice between a true liberal and a pretend one, which McCain is trying to be, the true liberal will win. If McCain hasn't figured out by now that conservatism wins elections, he's stupider than I thought.

Dear Members of the Republican Party,

That was the first mistake right there thinking we are the Republican Party instead of conservatives affiliated with the Republican party. However, the write up had some valid statements. Everyone here is going to hold there nose AGAIN and vote for the Republican candidate. We are not that stupid on Free Republic. We already know how dangerous Barak is so no worries on this website. Still I don’t understand what is wrong with pointing out negatives about John McCain...I think it is healthy to have a discussion about them. Having discussions on John McCain’s negatives, does not mean that people are not voting for him.

Personally I think the PUMA vote is going to be an interesting effect.

A substantial block of votes that NObama is counting on shifting to the Republican side can mean the difference between a squeeker like the last 2 elections and a landslide.

I’ve been lurking on PUMA forums. They’re tough. They email. They work at their local Republican headquarters. They phone bank. They go to the rallies. They talk to their family and friends.

THEY WORK HARDER FOR MCCAIN/PALIN THAN WE DO!!!

We need to get off our sorry butts and work just as hard as they do.

FReepers holding hands with Clintonites...

Who are whining about ACORN (who undoubtedly gave BillyJeff an edge)...

Both of whom (FR and PUMA) are pumping up a RINO Republican they HATED just months ago...

Hypocrisy abounds.

Alternative dimension, it seems to me...

The PUMA strategy is VOTING for McC/P to F over the DNC and teach them a lesson.

Polls say that six million of the 18 million HRC voters are SERIOUSLY disaffected with the DNC, and consequently, at least for this election, the Democratic party.

If half of them actually vote, then half of 18 million divided by three is three million votes.

If the other three million votes either don’t vote, or vote Green or whatever, then that’s another three million votes that Zer0 has lost.

You think that doesn’t matter?

Last night I dreamed that John McCain reached up to the top of his head, pulled down on a heretofore unnoticed zipper, and Bob Dole stepped out.

Thank you PUMA’s for your support. We absolutely LOVE this country and would hate to deliver it to the America-hating Barack/Ayres/Wright axis. The MSM have been able to demoralize a vast wing of the Republican party through fraudulent Democrat overweight polls over the past few days. McCain is actually within striking distance. Let’s work harder for heaven’s sake. The creeping socialism/marxism has to be stopped. We have all seen how social engineering (forcing banks to lend money to people who can’t repay the loan) destroys the intended recipients and the economy. I hope PUMA’s see how no matter how well intentioned government interference is, it always is counter-productive (this will be helpful to remember when we get back to arguing over universal healthcare). In the meantime, I hope you PUMA’s are eventually able to wrest control of the Democrat party back from the extremists, for all of our sakes.

Sometimes I think John McCain acts like he is stuck in the mud and we, along with some PUMA help will have to get behind him and push him over the finish line to victory. Sarah Palin is out there hitting Obama hard and I bet she wants to take Sen. McCain by the collar and just shake him! Failure IS NOT an option! Failure gives us all Obama!

Dear PUMA folks...THANK YOU!.... but not all of us have given up!

There are many of us who go through every election and try to keep the sounds out of our minds from those who think their complaining is helpful and constructive.

We work, give money, make phone calls, email and fax and talk to the opposite side, hand out literature and go to rallies when possible.

....we work...and I might add....with joy.

At one point we were called “The Silent Majority”.

And most important of all, we pray...get on our knees and beseech our Father, God to have mercy on our nation.

We appreciate your support and have enjoyed reading some of your sites. While admittedly, we disagree on some vital issues, the love of Country, freedom and free enterprise is overwhelmingly important.

Your forums are encouraging and upbeat. Thank you for your love of America!

We look forward to reaping the benefits with you when we win this election on Nov 4th.

God bless America!
McCain/Palin 2008!!!

Stop It!

The writer is correct!
Email all your contacts, call, talk to your neighbors

VOTE! - Ignore the polls

Turn out is the key to victory

The poll numbers are designed to suppress the conservative vote.

Vote like your Liberty depends on it, because it does!
