He who sleeps with dogs….
By PaganPower on June 28, 2008 at 9:00 PM in Barack Obama, Cult-Aide, Ed Rendell, Hillary Clinton, John McCain
I used to like Ed Rendell. He seemed like the straight up kind of guy that you could count on to tell it like it is. But no more. Seems Eddie boy has been sippin on the Cult-Aide. And now he wants all of us PUMAs to recognize the error of our ways and join him and the HOUNDs in defeating John McCain.
He starts with a ridiculous premise. And it goes downhill from there.
But here, have a look.
We believe Sen. Clinton supporters should vote for Sen. Obama because, as Hillary herself said so forcefully and poignantly in her great speech a few Saturdays ago, the best way to achieve the changes she has fought so hard to bring to America, and on which she based her campaign, is to support Sen. Obama, whose policies are almost identical to hers.
Well Ed, if that were true then none of us would have supported Hillary to begin with. I mean come on, does it even make sense to say that the best way to achieve the changes Hillary championed is to vote for someone that didn’t champion those issues? Does it even enter that apparently tiny little mind of yours to consider that we supported and still support Hillary BECAUSE Obama does not champion the issues we feel so strongly about?
And like all politicians or supporters that want to over exaggerate their importance Rendell makes the statement we hear from so many quarters.
No one worked harder than I did for Hillary and I believe no one could admire her and what she represents more that I do.
What gets me is that no one ever calls people like Rendell on their arrogant egos. After all, not everyone can work harder or admire her more. So somebody has to be lying. I think I will group Eddie in that liars group.
And in a coup de grâce Rendell makes PUMAs out to be the enemies of freedom. As if we would be the ones responsible for placing an inexperienced, unqualified candidate in the White House. Don’t you get it Eddie? The reason we are united against Obama is because we don’t want to place an inexperienced, unqualified candidate in the most powerful position on earth. That’s your guy Eddie.
So don’t try to unload that cart of donkeyshit on us.
Of course a little revisionist history is required for the partakers of Cult-Aide. This next line just leaves me in uncontrolled hysterics.
Close your eyes and think about Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton standing together united at a ceremony for the bill signing of legislation that guarantees every American affordable, effective healthcare.
Earth to Eddie boy Rendell: During the campaign that you supposedly worked harder for Hillary than anyone else do you happen to recall that she stated over and over that Obama did NOT support Universal Health care? Are we now suddenly to believe that he supports it? Where is the briefing paper on that one?
Lets see… he doesn’t support the 4th Amendment, has issues with the 1st Amendment and is confused by the 2nd Amendment. But you want us to believe that he has finally come around to supporting Universal Health care? How about a few sources of substantiating fact?
And just to demonstrate to us that Hound isn’t our enemy he states something completely ridiculous.
One last point – HOUND is not anti-PUMA. We agree with many of your grievances. For example, we, too, believe that the Democratic Party’s nominating process is unfair and undemocratic.
Uh… excuse me. You want us to believe that Obama believes the nominating process is unfair and undemocratic? ROFLMAO. You got to be kidding. Right? I mean your position is absurd. But that is what drinking the Cult-Aide does to someone. They are able at a moment’s notice to say the most ridiculous things with a straight face. And they expect the rest of us to believe it.
And finally Rendell reaches out to PUMAs. But in doing so he decides to belittle us in the process. A skill learned from Obama no doubt.
So, we are asking all PUMA members to curb your disappointment, mute your anger and frustration and join HOUND to help change America. While the PUMA may be more swift and athletic, the HOUND is smarter and more perceptive.
Well, screw that. A PUMA can kill a dog any day of the week. So word to the wise Eddie. Be on the look out for a cat you can’t control. A cat lurking in your backyard. And soon to be knocking on your front door.

I just signed my dog up.
My dogs are honorary PUMAs. I refuse to let them associate with Obamabots.
Obama is doing nothing but pander to the right.
He attacked the Supreme Court’s anti death penalty, and he is catering to gun owners.
McCain will probably accomplish more good than Senator “Present.”

I took my hound..a real life HOUND…to Unity and he was less than impressed, shall we say, with the busloads of Obamasses.
Good dog.

Good one Uppity
Great one PaganPower
Looks like Ed stepped in some sh*t with this one. He did say he drank the Koolaid… nuff said.
I just sent this to “The New PA Democratic Party”
I just read Rendell’s hilarious call to join HOUNDS. Does he honestly think that millions of voters are not serious about voting for John McCain over Obama? Do you think that life long Democrats have changed their party affiliation on a whim? Do you think any of the reasons why we support Hillary for president is found in Obama? We are not voting for the “lesser of two evils”. We are voting for the person that we feel is more qualified to be president. That his platform and agenda may not mirror ours is second to his character and proven record of experience. I would not have supported Bush if he were a Democrat and i will not support Obama just because he is a Democrat. I guess it is because we are just swift and athletic rather than smart and perceptive like you guys that make you think that we are complete idiots! you have insulted your base yet again. And leave Hillary out of this. We are masters of our own free will and our own vote. WE OWN OUR VOTE — not you, not the DNC -or what is left of it-and certainly not Obama.
Now I only hope I figure out how to get this posted
Good letter. This is really a pretty clear political situation for the Dems. They had all the information they needed to make a wise choice. Experience mattered in every single primary, and those votes went to Hillary.
The DNC thugs are putting forth an unprepared candidate, and they really can’t whine that we all noticed he is sorely lacking in experience, his judgment is highly questionable given what we learned, and he simply isn’t prepared to be president.
Their choice. They backed the wrong candidate.
I know, my english is not very good and I am not our most brilliant blogger. Nevertheless I posted this on HOUND in reply to Gov. Rendell and Sen. Casey’s statement:
“Dear Mr. Rendell and Casey,
I find it hopelessly foolis for you to state that Senator McCain is the lesser qualified candidate for the presidency – in the light of the long list of vitally important issues that B.H. Obama has abandoned with blinding speed, in the name of political expediency. Just to mention a few: Iraq, FISA, gun control, public financing of presidential election, death penalty… The list goes on.
Do you seriously accept us to believe that Obama represents anything democratic?
With Obama in the White House (God help us all!), we would witness a third term of G.W. Bush. Maybe worse. Obama is less qualified, less experienced than G.W. Bush. I personally have serious doubts of his patriotism. He doesn’t stand for any principle other than winning the presidency. He abandoned almost every important position since the beginning of the race. He will have to learn ‘on the job’, but he knows less today than G.W. Bush when he first started.
It is my patriotic duty to vote for a candidate that has a chance to navigate the US foreign politics, the economy to less troubeled waters. That candidate should have been Hillary Clinton. Now only one left: Senator J.S McCain.
I have voted for democrats in the last 16 years (except for Arnold Schwarzenegger). I felt that the Democratic Party represents the values that I hold dear.
To vote for a candidate that received his nomination by rigged process, who doesn’t represent anybody’s values is out of the question for ever. NEVER OBAMA!
This is a historic time. The Democratic Party has abandoned it’s core values to cater to a candidate that should be rolled in tar and feathers and driven out of the village.
I will vote again for democrats when the Party stands for democracy again.
We meet again at the voting booths in November.”
How much did they promise you, ED? I think this whole parade of supporters of bo is nothing but usin michells graceful quote “gimme some”.
Interesting it seems all the dogs are coming out in support of Obama. The strange think is a couple of weeks ago the Obama camp did not seem to care about the Hillary folks, now they finally figured out they can’t win without them. They are finally waking up
apparently Rendell is a dumbass too.
Rendell’s speech was written by Lewis Carroll, it appears.
wodiej — We must remember that there are a lot of Democrats who don’t join in this Unity thing but are doing this to keep the peace. Don’t you trust Hillary anymore? However, the Democrats seem to be going off a cliff for Obama. The die is cast and the most ridiculous jobs seem to be given to those who supported Hillary most strongly. I am glad I have left that lunatic party and I look forward to the Democrats tossing out the likes of Dean and Pelosi and just being the lovable losers they always were.
A BETTER NAME FOR THE HOUNDS IS ”
DonkeyShitHeads” THEY JUST DON’T GET IT
WHY is Rendell doing this?
What prompted him to be “pro-active” here?
Any ideas?
Obama threatened Rendell before the primary. Obama called him and said: I hope you don’t do anything here –meaning helping HRC– that would make it harder for me to win PA in November”.
Rendell himself reported this and was pretty ticketed about it.
So where is Rendell coming from with this idiotic Hound thing?
I am trying to understand what does Rendell think is doing here? and Why “he” ?
Could it be he’ll be VP ?
Anyone?
on cable yesterday he claimed that anyone who knew him knows that he has to be #1 ~ so, no, he doesn’t want to be #2 . . . VP.
. . . ‘cordin’ ta him.
Looks to me like an Obamatron play sheet. I don’t think Ed Rendell would have come up with this on his own dime. Has to be an Obama push. Make it look like it was Rendell’s idea but it is actually the Obama campaign strategy. I can see him towing the party line but not actually forming a counter-group called HOUND lol. Woof!
PUMA
Nodeal
I think you are right; this Hound thing sounds so pubescent and silly that must have come from
the Obamatron.
It is so NOT Rendell…
What a bunch of morons….
Andy — Your right — its so not Ed Rendell. I think these are torture assignments to make those who supported Hillary look like assholes.
to be honest i think this hound bull is about as dumb an idea as i have herd in awhile. talk about bombing!
off with the hound. under the bus with you along with the possum seal.
They should start a band… Barky and the Hounds.
Great post Pagan.
I think I’m smelling a bit of blackmail mixed in with the kool-aid. That has to be the only explaination, that makes sense, as to why these seemingly sensible people like Gov. Rendell are acting like complete cult followers. Anyone, with a lick of commonsense, knows that everyone has skeletons in their closet. So, either they jump on the Obama bus or bye bye career.
JUST SAY NO DEAL
PUMA
NOOBAMA
Could be VP, but more likely the Comrade told him if he didn’t shape up, there would be a well-funded primary awaiting him during his re-election bid. But if he’s a good boy, there will be many contributors for his re-election and the Comrade will give him much publicity.
Or maybe the bribe was just right.
Or maybe some opposition research revealed something he would rather not see go public.
They have a number of ways of helping people to See The Light.
True very true.
With the various strong arm tactics we’ve heard about the delegates. Who knows which one finally got him?
And Ed did come out yesterday with a comment that he had drank the kool-aid.
Maybe that was his subtle way of saying it.
I just want to know if the obligatory insult all these unity pleas seem to have, is the proof needed that they indeed swallowed?
Good question? Why are the Dems doing any of the stuff they’re doing this time? It makes no sense to me.
Makes no sense to me either….
Uppity above says maybe there is some dirt on Rendell: but with all the dirt that there is about Obama is hard to imagine this as leverage. Money is probably closer. BHO plays hard ball dirty politics and has a big (automatic) machine gun at his disposal: Daley and the Chicago Boys.
andy — Ed Rendell is a multi millionaire. I don’t think its money–my guess is that they would run someone against him in his next primary. This is what I heard was done to Hillary.
Don’t you know for rich people, there is never enough money. more, more, more.
Bad press is good press. Ed Rendell is drawing attention to PUMA. No article can be writtem about HOUND without PUMA, so…
If it backfires, like he knows it will…
Good point yesterday. Some PUMA press at his expense.
I thought about that, too. It should be fun to watch this.
Hound? I’m still cracking up. He has a sense of humor, for sure.
Hound — if you don’t vote for Obama we bite your ass.
that’s a good one, s. hall
I heard him say on fox yesterday that he drank the kool-aid I thought it was funny, I posted it here yesterday. I also heard on one of the news programs that he was offered a job by BOBO, something like head of dept of transportation or something like that and Ed was very interested in it.
Andy — Whatever Rendell is doing — we know he can’t stand Obama. Is Hillary suddenly an Obama fan — now that she has to travel with him? These Democrats are being forced to support Obama in every way possible. In Hillary’s case she was told if she didn’t go around with Obama that she would have a primary challenge for her Senate seat. One has to wonder why Obama is such a totalitarian. Sounds like he is afraid of the PUMA’s and has to have his Hounds to counter them on TV shows. Obama becomes more repulsive to me daily.
Perhaps poor Ed was surrounded by BO’s Black Panther Friends…out of sight of the camera lens!
I personally beleive because Rendell came across as the most ardent Politico of Hillary’s that he is getting alot of crap from BHO. Remember the threats to SD’s and down ticket people as well from BHO campaign. And as you mentioned the threatening call from BHO before the PA.Primary. BHO put Rendell on notice .
Now Ed has to crawl back into the good graces if he ever wants anything he might need for the State of PA. He is doing what he must do and somehow I’ve heard him time and time again giving his full support to Hillary .
Now he must do what he must do for his State and his own political career. I wouldn’t be surprised if the Hound came straight from the Obama campaign and he was told to do this.
elizabeth — I bet Ed Rendell gets down on his knees and prays every night that McCain wins.
I think Elizabeth, you hit the nail on the head.
Everyone is being blackmailed one way or another. I’m sure Rendell’s been threatened with both a Primary challenge and lack of funding for PA should BO get elected. And they probably sweetened the pot with a Cabinet postion offer.
But more and more I have a sense of forboding. That BO’s election is already a done deal. The machines have already been programmeed, the dead people registered, volunteers in place to stuff the ballot booxes, EVERYTHING!
Add to that all the disaffected voters on both sides Democrats and Republicans, Third Party candidates, and the blackout of real news coverage via the msm.
There’s a reason BO is pandering to the right so openly. He must KNOW he has nothing to lose.
If that is true, why are they turning over every rock. All the talk about Christian Right Wing conservatives and giving felons the vote and maybe the idea of Hillary campaigning with him will turn out not to be such a good idea. There wasn’t a lot of enthusiasm at the Unity Rally. Or was that just my imagination?
Looking for anything making sense in this election will drive you nuts. Gov. Rendell was attacked for his comment on the demographics in Pa. also. He was on some talk shows after and he looked scared to death he would be branded racist the rest of his life. At least he knows PUMA and the word is spreading all over. Everyone has fallen in line except Evan Bayh and Pres. Clinton. How are they planning to get Bill on the same stage with BO? Whatever, it hasn’t worked yet.
What a ridiculous patronizing diatribe! Who wrote this, his GRANDKID? Ed, I really really hope this is spam.
PUMA
I do not bear animosity toward Ed Rendell for this effort. He was an important and visible supporter for HRC. He made an extra difference in PA and PA was very important to the HRC cause. I do not plan to support Obama and will work actively against him but I am not going to trash other Democrats who decide to get on the unity pony. Each of us has to think this through and decide. We do not have to be ugly about it.
“Ugly”, no. We don’t need to be childish. But I’m strongly in support of voicing our discontent.
Being pressured to vote for another under-qualified is entirely unacceptable.
Ditto for me. I hated that over at Huffpo. Every single person who endorsed Hillary was trashed!
Ed is just a politician doing what they do to work on behalf of the party. I think it’s almost funny. HOUND? LOL*
Good grief, it’s a fun kind of exchange to me.
But NO DEAL!
They have not yet discussed a single issue with any credibility. The purpose is nothing more than “shut up, please.”
BTW….this is apropros here.

nice idea, but in need of some editing.

I only checked the first few . . .
I’ll let them know. Thanks!
i have to wonder if rendell knows how this will be taken and used the term hound knowing how much fun would be made of it.
stodgie — I think he Rendell knows how dumb this is. He has quite a sense of humor and Obama has none. What is the best way of getting out of doing a stupid job –do it badly and they never ask you again.
What I’m really getting tired of is this Party before country baloney. Do these people honestly think Barack Obama should be President?
I don’t get it either. It’s obvious this guy cannot and should not be Potus.
I think they are underestimating who is going to manipulate BHO. I think many at the DNC are deluding themselves thinking they will be able to “father” BHO at the WH. But BHO has other big fat cats behind him that are not part of the DNC nor will care much about the Congress people or the DNC platform.
Something pretty dirty is coming…
I agree. Rendell is a good guy. He stayed loyal to Hillary to the end.
The only way to elect Hillary in 2012, is to elect McCain in ‘08.
That’s exactly it – Rendell was chastising and trashing PUMAs despite what he says at the end and WE are the ones who do not deserve his treatment.
We PUMAs have a right and a duty, quite frankly, as Americans to vote for whom we choose and whom we believe is best suited and best equipped to lead this country.
The message that PUMAS send back to ED RENDELL is that there is more to politics than PARTY UNITY and that’s keeping America out of the hands of corrupt, passive aggressive narcisists whose only mission is to obtain POWER for himself. Every time in history that that type of person has stepped into a position of power it has resulted in a world-wide DISASTER for everyone.
ED RENDELL disrespected all PUMAs who actually, should be praised, for they are thinking of the greater good…the SAFETY of our nation as a whole.
I agree with this. They are career politicans. They are Democrats. They are not starting a Third Party.
What do you expect from them?
I OWN MY CHOICE!
They have the right to own theirs.
I knew from the beginning that the road I intended to travel was a solitary one.
We will probably empower more people if we make them understand this.
We are not all going to agree on EVERYTHING.
It’s better for people to stand firm in their individual commitment not to support Obama.
Ed, you can’t run with the wolves when you’re peeing like a puppy!
He’s lost it. Doesn’t make even a good dog catcher with those writing skills and I use the term loosely.
Rendell is doing what he has to do. I don’t expect anything else from any Dem in elected office. Whatever they may think privately, whatever they might do in the voting booth, in public, they are going to sing the praises of the unity train.
Let them. Whatever they tell themselves, however they spin it, the truth is that there is a hard core of Hillary supporters who recognize the danger an Obama presidency represents and who are just not going to vote for him.
My thoughts exactly.
Why does he have to? No balls? People like him need to make a stand. I’m sure if they somehow grabbed his job from him, he’d make out fine. How can he let them bully and blackmail him? Take a stand Ed!
Naughty, naughty boys and girls. More scoldings. And if we’ll only just be good and join up, everything will work out fine, especially if we let the Daddy-o’sin the DNC handle it all. I’m tone deaf to this sort of exhortation, ditto from Nancy Pelosi, ditto from those women senators, ditto from…ad nauseam. Nothing like being patronized, told how to behave, think, believe.
Wow, another male telling me not to be angry for being completely fucked over. How original!
Sorry Eddie. No Deal.
Exactly!
sorry,Randell, NOBAMA.
Ed’s just being the good soldier. I can almost bet he’s well aware that Obamalamadingdong hasn’t a snowball’s chance in hell but he’s just making sure no one can say he dogged him.
What will be telling is when the obombster comes up short here in PA. Slick Eddie is very influencial in the Keystone state, but I think even he’s convinced the state’s going red.
I personally won’t be too hard on him. He was one of Hillary’s most vocal and vociferous supporters throughout the primaries, calling it as he saw it. I would even venture a guess if Dean and the Bambino do not get Hillary off the ballot in Denver and there is a secret ballot for Superdelegates, Ed’s vote will be for the BEST and MOST QUALIFIED CANDIDATE.
We better hope Rendell isn’t able to convince voters in PA that Obama is worthy of the presidency. I’m sorry but until McCain wins the GE I’m not going to assume that people can’t be convinced to vote for Obama.
Rendell will NEVER convince this Pa. voter. I don’t know of anyone who supports Obama. My small town is dominated by Democrats. I have not heard one person say they will vote Obama. They all say without even thinking about it, that they will vote McCain. They are to afraid of Obama. They will vote for the safe choice. And Eddie better be nice to the voters who will not support Obama, the PUMA members. I sure hope, for his sake, that he doesn’t tell us to be MUTE ever again. Because we will not forget next time he is up for re-election.
Good for you!
pasmalltowngirl — Not all the McCain Democrats are coming from PUMA — today a man my husband hardly knows collared him at work and asked how he felt about Obama. My husband said — I can’t stand him and the man was so relieved. He talked about how he could not vote for Obama under any circumstances. My husband asked him if he heard of PUMA and he said no.
Millions of people all over the country are coming to the conclusion that this country is too important to be left in the hands of this amateur. Obama is in big trouble and so is the Democratic Party. Maybe the party will think twice the next time they decide to steal the nomination.
s. hall,
This is why I said upthread that this is a solitary decision and everyone has to OWN their choice.
There’s no point in ragging Rendell or any other Dem.
PS
I still would like to hear about your source with regard to a tape of Obama putting down AAs.
Why would he do such a thing? Those are the same people who called him racist. This parade of Hillary supporters going on talk shows beating a drum for Obama is almost comical. All the while saying don’t worry, Dems will come home, Obama is out there insulting us again. I truly believe the DNC knows they are in trouble, but they can’t fix the general like they did they primaris. You know what, they look like the pictures of hostages reading a prepared statements.
I still say that, if given the choice, my cat would vote libertarian. Dogs, being pack animals, would vote socialist.
I like Ed Rendell – he’s been a good governor, but I’m not feeling the Unity (TM). He and other career Democrats can endorse Obama until the pony drops dead – they have to, else their party clout is on the line. As a mere registered Democrat, I can flip off and turn down any member of the party who doesn’t live up to my standards. Obama does not live up to my standards and continues to slip lower and lower as time wears on. I wish people would quit HOUNDing me to vote for him.
LOL…I think my dogs would be the libertarians.
And strange enough….the cats would be the socialists.
They’ve been very generously sharing their food with all the abandoned sub-prime cats in the neighborhood.
They even take guard positions so these skinny cats can eat in peace…it’s a trip to watch.

Even Wolf wanted to hear her say it twice…lol
No! Ed Rendell is a devoted Hillary supporter. She, being under the gun, asked him to do something, and he, being devoted to her, did as he was asked.
Hillary Clinton is the Democratic nominee, and she is the next president of the United States. Nobody votes until the end of August, and then, Hillary Clinton is the nominee and sfter that, she is the next president of the United States.
I don’t care what derision ensues: everything will be made clear and it will result in — Hillary Clinton is the Democratic nominee, and Hillary Clinton is the next president of the United States.
So get used to it.
Please let it be so!
I hold no ill will towards Rendell. Do you guys really believe that the DNC thinks the reason we wont vote Obama IS Obama? Can’t you imagine Dean, Pelosi and Brazille saying in a huff ” Ed you and Hillary caused this mess, You damn well better get out there and fix it” ? It’s not that Obama IS UNELECTABLE it’s the fact that Hillary convinced us he is unelectable. It’s not the picture of Obama in the Muslim garb, it’s the fact that Hillary supposedly brought that out. It’s not the fact that all Obama brings to the table is his speech in whatever year it’s the fact that Hillary said it. It’s not the fact that their guy is a loser, it’s the fact that Hillary told us. So they think. They believe the messengers did the damage not Obama.
When blaming HRC no longer works the party Troika or (Junta if you want to include Brazile) will turn on one another.
It’s also the necessary first step in laying Obama’s defeat in their (Hillary,Rendell, and others)laps. No blame is complete without the see what you’ve done phase.
Dear Ed: F*ck Off!
DEAR ED,
YOU HAVE BEEN IN THE OBAMA CAMP SINCE BEFORE PUERTO RICO.
ED, SHUT THE HELL UP.
I’ll send Ed some flea spray.
I like Rendell, he’s one of my favorite pols, but Hounds sniff, eat and roll around in dogshit. Nuff said.
All these men think the little women will just forget and forgive the DNC for what they did to
Hillary and the American people?
I don’t think so……
PUMA
dirty dogs fight dirty & don’t tell me who to vote for!
Poor Ed. He lost his spunk. Got screwed over by Obama and now is bending over for his daily spanking. Hound my ass. More like a f*cking poodle.
Somebody give Ed a Milkbone and tell him to stop barking.
Damnit! Ed crapped on the rug again! I hope Obama ponies up on the carpet cleaning bill…
Great post PaganPower !!
myiq2xu wrote a good and eloquent post about what do we represent here (good picture!):
http://myiq2xu.wordpress.com/2008/06/28/its-not-about-hillary/
riverdaughter at the confluence also did a good job in her reply to Rendell.
I keep shaking my head and wondering: is this hound a joke? How silly can the DNC be?
Huffy Po reporting that BHO is risking his “brand” with recent actions. Well, phonies can’t keep up their pretenses forever. Sorry, Mr. Ed, the Obaminator is about to implode. We’re still with Hill.
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2008/06/28/obama-undercuts-his-brand_n_109758.html
ewwww. risking his brand? that’s a buzzkill.
What brand? you mean that silly presidential seal?
The HOUND document hits the points. Gotta give him that. I have to laugh. Ed Rendell is obviously a very good politician and a Democrat. I still like him.
But Ed….NO DEAL!
(Love ya anyway!)
I’ll take Ted STrickland!
me too!
Don’t say that. He’ll be the next one on nonames hit list.
Me too and my circus of dancing fleas.
Don’t you think HOUND was a choice acronym? I think it says a lot and you guys should chill out over Ed’s little ploy. I personally think it is rather ROTFL LMAO. Sheesh.
I”m TELLING you (with ED) with MEN in general they just DON’T quite GET it!
YOU DO NOT say those kinds of things to women and not expect some kind of verbal or non verbal retribution
REsPECT or REgrET!!
so simple
so clear
but I guess NOT in the end to MOST MEN!
and gawd it’s far to late now anyway
can’t imagine why any of them are bothering
far too late
BHO is 46 goin on Stupid
Amen to that. And yeah, the patronizing attitude of this HOUND crapola REALLY doesn’t make me any more inclined to jump on board with this sexist, arrogant man – Obama that is, though I guess Rendell has to go in that group, too, since he stooped to this level…It does quite the opposite.
To think I used to like him, too. But my tolerance for sexist behavior is, well, non-existent.
Amy, I so agree. This HOUND crap is totally patronizing. I wonder who came up with this ridiculous, and yet offensive, idea. I wonder when they’ll finally realize that the more they poke and jab at us, the firmer we become in our resolve to NOT VOTE OBAMA!
HOUND?!?!? How utterly lame!
Bo ain’t nothin’ but a hound dog
crying all the time, ha ain’t never caught a PUMA, and he ain’t no friend of mine.
I don’t see any enthusiasm from Rendell or Hillary. I think even Obama realizes that he has lost the crucial voting block.
The democrats this year are riding on the Titanic. To save face they are touting unity which no one believes.
titanic?? naw RAT BOAT (and it’s sinking)
heeheehahahoho!
Yes…The DemRats are going down!
I also think Ed, Hillary and all her supporters are touting unity so that when Borat and the ‘zoids want to blame them when he loses in November, it’ll be all that much harder.
Very good point.
Unless your going to change parties you have to at least on the surface show party unity.
However, looking at Hillary her body language told me the real truth about how disgusted she is along with all of us.
I am able to read through the lines. A vote for Obama is a vote against Hillary and the Clinton wing of the party which will rise like a Phoenix after the debacle in November.
think about it, hound! rendell knows how that looks. it is a farce short and simple. they are playing their cards now and waiting for another day. and big dog will make a few nominal events but they won’t campaign their hearts out for obama. do you see gore out there after his endorsement. i like carter but he out to lunch on his endorsement. for gore i think it was just an outward show for the dem party. the koolaid drinkers includes: kennedy, kerry, pelosi, daschle, dean and brazile. may their arses be thrown out and let them be treated in the manner they treated hillary and her supporters.
seattle — right — If people are unified you don’t have to keep forcing them to say the word UNITY. Dean and Pelosi decided to short cut this nomination process and now they are left with a lemon who cannot win. Oh what a tangled web you weave when first you practice to deceive.
’specially since they were chanting Hillary at the Unity Dog and Pony Party.
Hillary was very convincing. Another great speech of hers.
Man, she’s good.
Ed Hussein Rendell. Kind of has a nice ring to it, doncha think?
You know I am getting so very confused.
Technically Hillary had no way of winning the primary when??
Yet Hillary kept trooping on, making promises of going all the way to the Convention no matter what, asking for money and time, and yes the list probably goes on. I spend many a Saturday doing calls on my cell phone, especially towards the end. Actually towards the end I did a few Sundays too.
Now Hillary is apparently not going to the Convention with her fight, Hillary and her dieheart super delegates are now supporting Obama and she is now asking her dieheart supporters to also blindly follow behind to elect this #%$* of a man(fill in the blanks yourself).
In all my years I have never ever seen a major party candidate with such a fraudulent slate get this far in his run for office.
Is this some horrid dream?
YES
NO
maybe
She talked to the remaining SDs and clearly she saw she would lose.
That’s all.
She lost the battle for the SD’s.
Okay, but why?
I’m just guessing, but I think Penn called it right early on. He said she needed to get within 100 delegates to make her case.
It just wasn’t close enough for the SD’s to buck the meme out there that he had won.
I know. It’s not correct thinking about how the party works, but that’s why the fix was in. He’d have never gotten credibility for his ridiculous “Won this many states and have more delegates” argument had it not been for Dean, Pelosi, Brazile, Kerry, Richardson, etc.
That’s just my own take on this deal. I know nothing, really.
No. This is how they roll in Chicago.
just came across this comment from The BIG Dog hisself,
words to the effect that a still steamin’ mad Bill sez:
“Barack Obama can kiss my ass!”
Now we’re talkin’ !!!
And I wonder what Carville would tell you in private . . .
since KEITH (snake) Olberdouche participates over at the Orange Satan
it would be pretty cool if we had our OWN NO QUARTER HILLARY STAR blogging here too!
I know Larry is the BEST but I mean the flip-the-Quarter side to Keith and his insipid followers.
Eons ago on a Science chat blog I hung out on we’d get guest chatters from the scientific communities and colleges. It was fantastic listening to them in real time in a chat room.
10 yrs ago chat rooms were still in their infancy (better actually – less anal traffic – easier to kick someone OUT if they got nasty) jmo.
babbling sorry
Have a GREAT weekend every one at No Quarter!
[replying to myself if ya don't mind]
I’ve been yelling “BULLSHIT ~ GET OFF THE F&#%ING SCREEN, JACKASS!!!” at the poor TV [remote going click, click, click]
everytime I hear some chattering cable chump or chumpette claim that Bill Clinton HAS to stump for Barfy O’Bama because if not he’ll ‘permanently harm his legacy.” What a steamin’ pile o’ crap that is.
I hope Bill & Hill just give ‘em great big smiles, pat BO on the head, and then shine that MoFo from here to Chicago.
Shine that MoFo, but don’t lift a finger to help. Say all the right things while almost stifling a yawn.
More productive to keep busy helpin’ downticket goodguys & gals instead, like Ed O’Reilly US Senate/Mass.
Fuggem . . .
the PUMA will chew up your HOUND & toss him aside like a rag doll!
On the front page of my state newspaper was a large photo of Obama with his arm on Hillary’s shoulder smiling and waving to God knows who. I thought I was going to puke. Every time I see this guy, I hate the DNC that much more. I hope Bill Clinton never campaigns for this clown; he has better things to do with his time.
carville will tell you the same thing. the look on his face a few times during the primaries with obama supports on tv was a study in distain.
Barack Obama can kiss 18 million other’s asses too.
Looks like Hillary’s big donors gave Barky (inspiration for the HOUND, perhaps) quite the lukewarm reception (just as Larry reported).
Tension In Unity: Clinton Donors Give Obama Cold Shoulder
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2008/06/27/tension-in-unity-clinton_n_109569.html
So, sorry, Ed, true believers are skipping this trip and we’ll pass on Obama.
If I were them, I’d give the money to Hillary to pay off her campaign debt or to the Clinton Foundation, where money is actually used for good causes.
i keep looking for reports of barfy’s big money numbers coming in. sounds of silence, crickets chirping. i keep looking for the real lead in the polls that a generic democrat would and should have but the numbers aren’t there with barfy. sounds of silence and those dang crickets.
maniaco I think Bill is one of the few major Democrats with any common sense or brains left.
Right now I say Gooooo Bill and thank you for echoing the senditments of many many Hillary supporters.
Bill has nothing to gain from playing the game with Obama and more to lose, frankly.
He is the former president. Not Obama.
He is the one with the international prestige, the connections, the goodwill, and he has no reason to bow down to Obama, particularly not now that Hillary was trashed so badly by the party.
They all are in the doghouse.
He has no more political aspirations to fulfill in life.
He gets to play the role of the detached former president who will point out the truth.
Right On, my people.
Bill’s gotta keep busy finishin’ off that Prez. Library in Little Rock.
Go ‘head on Bill!
Plus, some time set aside to practice on Tenor Saxophone . . .
PS ~ I love you guys. “We Are Fam-i-ly”
All of the ‘experts’, ‘pundits’, and ‘talking heads’ on MSNBC and CNN say Bill HAS to help
Obarfme or his legacy is ruined. BS!!!!
Bill’s legacy will be in fine shape.
Obarfme’s tanksters picked the wrong guy
to try and threaten or bully.
Kiss Bill’s ass!!!!
And mine, and the line forms at the rear.
Pucker up, Obarfme!!
These are the same pundits who are still pissed that they couldn’t bring Clinton down while he was President.
Yup.
Big Dawg has more important things to do than run around the country stumping for a loser. Bill has a reputation to protect. Have Carter do it. He can run around the country stumping for Obama instead of running off to meetings with Hamas.
Al Gore had that kind of detachment too for awhile. That’s why I knew he’d never run for office again.
You tell ‘em Bill. You will forever be my hero! Thanks for the best 8 years of my generation! We’ll be here waiting for Hillary to bring us 8 more!
Obama can KISS BILL CLINTON’s ASS!
Mine too and every PUMAs while he’s at it.
All together now… let’s moon him.
Bill will help. Like he did in Miama.
Lukewarm and perfunctory.
Bill will be in better shape to protect his legacy if he doesn’t endorse or campaign for this loser. Pres. Clinton is a Rhodes Scholar and the most intellectually superior president, possibly since Thomas Jefferson. I could be wrong, but I don’t believe he can be forced to support BO or do anything else he doesn’t want to do. His legacy is not in trouble. He is and always will be larger than life. I don’t watch CNN or MSNBC so maybe someone who does can tell me exactly what they mean and how what they say matters. Olbermann et al won’t even be a footnote when Bill Clinton’s history is written.
stateofdisbelief — I’m afraid Obama might like to kiss Bill’s ass.
“So, we are asking all PUMA members to curb your disappointment, mute your anger and frustration and join HOUND to help change America.”
Ed, your hounds (thugs) can ask until the cows come home. What is it about “I will never vote for Obama” that you do not understand? And I am tired of hearing the word “change” throughout the campaign. After a year of using the same word do you think you can find another?
Obama represents change
As in changes his positions all the time
Will his past associations catch up with him
If they do then that’s chains I can believe in!
Obviously, Ed just thinks all we PUMAs need is an animal to adopt in a better market campaign. Do you just think that all these guys do all day is to sit around and brainstorm how they think they can get us jump through hoops while they get rich doing it?
If this is the best they can offer us, Lord, let’s go storm a Walmart and dump some crates of kooaid into the nearest body of water. If you see the Muddy Missippi go blue as it empties into the Gulf, you can blame it on me.
That’s actually a marvelous idea… the Beloxi Koolaid Party.
curb your disappointment. No Ed, curb your hound. It’s the law you know.
“….you aint never caught a rabbit and you aint no friend of mine….”
The King trumps the Precious every time.
Just talked to an old friend of mine down at the do-nut store and he sends this yo Ed and Obama.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=We8P_Ww27hY
yea ED and his HOUNDS can make that their THEME song! They can HAVE it. LOL
WHO LET THE DOGS OUT?
This dog won’t hunt.
“But that is what drinking the Cult-Aide does to someone. They are able at a moment’s notice to say the most ridiculous things with a straight face. And they expect the rest of us to believe it.”
It’s stunning. I had an intelligent, sophisticated, liberal friend (who supports Hillary but can’t understand why I don’t have Obama-love) say to me recently when I discussed the many lies of BO, including Rev. Wright:
“He wasn’t IN the church THAT day!”
I just looked at her, wondering what she had done with her brain. It’s the strangest phenomenon. How can anyone with an an ounce of common sense repeat such a preposterous excuse?
I think the whole “get over it, let it go an come on board” funny, because they are SO CLUELESS and patronizing that it actually continues to FUEL the PUMA cause. Thanks for the motivation!
Most people think Hillary’s health care plan was single-payer. The fact is that many people did buy the sound byetes and the misinfomation he spread around.
This is not Nazi Germany, we do not take orders from party officials telling us who to vote for.
Just because you and the DNC are pushing the equivalent of: Ein Reich, Ein Volk, Ein Fuhrer –One Nation, One People, One Leader”, doesn’t impress us, it just pisses us off.
We do not fall in line behind Dear Leader because some piece of shit party hack tells us to.
We are Americans who can and should vote for what we believe in.
We are not dogs looking for a master, we do not put the party ahead of the people nor the country.
So take HOUND and put it down.
Lastly Mr. Rendell go kiss Obama’s ass then drown your morally and mentally bankrupt ass so as to not bother anyone anymore.
Failing that, just step out in front of speeding train.
Neuter that hound!!
How about THIS one for PUMA’s
rwc;
I have been reading through Mien Kampf today because of what an OBORG said in jest caompring BO to Hitler…
Axelrod plagiarized it as well.
Ed Rednell has been really dissapointing me in the last pass few days. Well at least he helped us win
PA.
Hillary was kicking donkey Azz and taking names from March through June!
Once she got rid of Solis DOyle and DIpshit Penn and started trusting Maggie!! (God bless her) Too little maybe too late???
What’s Miss Williams doing these days? I wish she’d come here and let us pick her brain. She did a GREAT job for Hillary in the end! She deserves a medal!
It would have been worse had she won. There is no way the Hillary Haters would have supporter her candidacy.
And they would have no reason other than, “She’s a (fill in the blank.)”
AnninCA, has someone occupied your being again . . for example a ObamaRobot.
This doesn’t sound like you.
Or maybe I don’t follow what you’re responding to with the “woulda been worse” deal.
????
I just meant that it’s silly to think that Hillary Haters would have jumped on HER bandwagon if the roles were reversed.
The hubabub over PUMA is brilliant, precisely because nobody expects the workshorse gals to stand up for ourselves.
(lots of animal farm talk today, eh? *heh)
So true, Ann! Women have demanded very little since they got the right to vote in 1920, while working their butts off for the country and their families. The media and party elders been able to completely corner the women’s movement into one singular issue of abortion! It’s ridiculous and women’s groups have allowed them to do just that. No wonder women today have no respect for those of us who have fought for rights for women. Until women stop being held hostage by their uterus and demand to be taken seriously, even if it means costing a few elections – they will never gain respect. It’s now or never – Hillary or no deal.
Stand up for yourselves, or continue being the doormat people trample over. It’s your vote, your choice.
OK I gotcha now!

Do you believe, then, she could not have won the general? I disagree. I have no faith in polls, but if they were to be believed, she would have been far ahead of McCain now instead of tied. The base of African Americans which has always supported the Clintons, would have no trouble changing their allegence to her. Her argument to superdelegates was valid. She would have taken the swing states and traditionally Democratic ones as well. The Clinton haters are Republicans, are they not?
watch out: a troll has taken AnninCA’s name
O.K. since I need to share this with someone FAST — before I implode:

shall we all adopt Rodham in solidarity?
Spare me! Things are getting stranger and stranger…
I think I recognize one of those Trolls.
Someone tell these pubescent kids
(1) THAT IT IS OBAMA HIMSELF WHO “FROWNS” ON THE USAGE OF HIS MIDDLE NAME
(2) TO GO ENLIST IN THE ARMY.
What a bunch of morons….
Ditto …
I recognized Moe and Ron!
kids
what’s the problem with raising the voting age again? who would complain? the kids? nahhh! lol
OMG…someone slap some sense into these kids…AND…the NYT.
It isn’t his name that is the probelm.
If I were their parent, I would be worried about the Mother Ship taking them away.
slacker basement dwellers..sheesh. Are they even old enough to vote?
I truly believe this is a joke on Ed Rendell’s part — HOUND?? Come on, people. That is probably that crappiest most laughable name for a group I can think of (no offense to the four legged hounds, by the way).
Think about it: PUMA — wow — sounds great — and sounds powerful, positive, forceful.
HOUND — please.
Don’t forget that Rendell has busted Obama on a bunch of stuff — including the threatening phone call O made to him in April (you know I’m going to be the nominee, right? You’re not going to make that difficult, right?)
Then when O had the fundraiser, Ed is the only who tattled and said that O’s comment was “we don’t need the people, we just need the checks.”
That’s not exactly a nice thing for a candidate to say — but Gov. Rendell told on him.
Rendell is a very smart politico who loves the Clintons — do you really think he would name a group HOUND except to laugh at it — I think this is just his way of feeding Obama an empty sandwich.
I think the Obamabots party-elders are twisting Rendell’s arm, probably threatening beneficial legislation and earmarks for Pennsylvania to get Rendell on board. They know they’re losing in PA and need his help – strong arming tactics is what Obama thugs have mastered. Rendell is playing the game he is forced to, but obviously not happy with it seeing by the people/checks comment leak and HOUND? Does anyone really expect us to take a group named HOUND seriously?
Rendell is too smart and feisty. He’ll sound the words the Obamabots are forcing him to say, but he’ll sneak in his own slighted comments against Obama to maintain his sanity and his own political future down the line.
i think rendell is giving them some “help” but there is a big heavy stone chained to it to drag them down. hound will sleep with the fishes with ed’s help.
He is just throwing him a bone?
Interesting theory.
It’s sly, all right. You could be right.
I love it that he says that the primary process is unfair. *hooting*
I know, something doesn’t seem right with Ed. It was like he was trying to provoke not unite.
I saw him on fox the other day, and the only time he smiled was when he was talking about Hillary.
Come on folks, Ed and company are just being good Democrats. We can’t blame them for that. Our problem is that we’re just smart Democrats and Independents.
PUMA!
NO DEAL!!!!!
Yes, we can and should hold them all accountable. It is imperative that our leaders exemplify the ethics, morals, and values that our Democracy was founded on.
The buck stops with them. They cannot back a candidate with such an obvious lack of character and expect their own character to remain in tact.It is so irresponsible it borders on treasonous.
The voters of this country need to consider what principles they really hold dear, and must take a stand to protect those ideals.
Casting a vote in any other way than for McCain will hand Barack Hussein Obama the Presidency of this country. It is foolish and irresponsible to believe that not voting or writing in names or voting a third party will make an impact.Your Democratic Party Leaders have made their decision, Americans must now make theirs.
Oh yeah, being good little germans.
Hell, Obama is Unqualified. No Deal, See?. HOUNDS
Good acronym.
Lots of chatting into the back seat going on, e.g., TPM boards. Rewards, heaps of admiration and praise. Embedded message: Hillary is magnificent when (and/but only when) she capitulates.
Beware.
edit: change Unqualified to Unfit.
That’s pretty good rjj. I like it !!
rjj,that’s awesome! We are totally going to use that over at hireheels.com. (You’ll get full credit of course.) Thanks!
Others have come up with MUCH BETTER stuff. See below.
I also love the comment by “Obama is a Bum” at 23:09:
bipolar
While the PUMA may be more swift and athletic, the HOUND is smarter and more perceptive.
So basically Rendell is saying that the Hounds are smarter than the Puma
That’s no way to win people over.
Kind of like that phrase..Get over it
We made CNN again people! We are definitely on the map and the MSM will begin to take more and more notice of us as the election draws closer! Let’s keep up the good fight!
http://www.cnn.com/video/?/video/politics/2008/06/27/tsr.tatton.anti.obama.online.cnn
Guess Rendell wants to be VP … well then fine, go kiss Obama’s ass but spare the rest of us your insults.
FYI – PUMAs have long memories for future elections reference.
Rendell said very clearly he does not want VP, he may be interested in a administration job once his term is over since he can’t run again, but he said no to vp.
The Democratic party is going to the dogs and that is the problem not the solution.
The democrat party needs to crash and burn!
There is no way that I can ever support a party that fixes elections and uses party bosses that are bought and sold against the will of the people.
Shame on them for showing their true values.
That’s why Obama is the preferred choice dictators throughout the world.
No Way!
No Deal!
Hey, xlnt point, Seattle Moss
You’re so right ~ the choice of ruthless, murdering dictators all around the world: Barky the hound
I hadn’t put 2 aand 2 together ’til now. That makes sense, that kind of appeal to Hamas, (prob) Mugabe, Castro, Chavez, assorted Fascists & Totalitarians worldwide ~ they LUV BO.
Since Obama doesn’t want to defeat the terrorists and dictators I guess he is thinking that we might as well join them.
Think the world views us badly now under Bush.
Just wait!
Seattle — If the Republicans did this so that we would wind up with Obama as the nominee because he was easier to beat. Ok — Republicans you had me at hello – Win Already
Obama is a Bum–Yes the Democratic Party is going to the dogs — Hence HOUND. Perhaps its a massive case of Alzheimers.
Just how smart is it to call PUMAs dumb?
Oh, so now we are not only “bitter” and racist if we don’t vote for Obama… now we’re dumb, too?
Wow… they are really trying to win people over…
Hounds also have a tendency to sit on the porch and look for scraps on the ground. A PUMA will go hunt his or her own food. PUMA’s don’t espouse to democratic socialism… We are true dems… Many of us– like myself — suffered when Reagan cut our financial aid, but we worked and took out student loans… Yes, I understand that student loan companies are being “predatory” right now, but no offense, some of these same kids will pay 21 % interest on a credit card to buy an IPOD and latest and greatest cell phone, but they won’t take a part time job waiting tables at midnight, like many of us did, to pay for tuition so they can take out a smaller student loan. Of course not. They might miss the big party or American Idol!
My two cents.
Hounds slobber a lot.
he’s too good a politician to have done that by accident.
and the Obamanates are too fricking esteemic to get it.
Note I said esteemic, not arrogant.
LOL.
I’ve been using conceited lately.
Coster — we have gotten under their skin. They are terrified of us–Have a tall cool one and a bowl of Popcorn and watch the show.
Boy, their sweet talk is sure giving me the warm and fuzzy feeling. (retch)
Borat! LMAO
Rendell’s has been tasked with redistributing what The Man on the White Horse leaves behind.
We have all been bamboozled. The Republicans wanted Obamba on the ticket because they will wipe his ass in November with all the dirt they have on him. A Republican client of mine told me last year that they were going to switch parties to make sure that obama got the nomination. It was easy especially with the help of the DNC. Both Howard Dean and John Kerry had their own personal vendettas with the Clintons. It has never benn about getting Obamba elected it has always been about Hillary NOT getting elected! She knows this why do you think she only suspended her campaign so she could keep her delegates. She is buying her time right now. She is hoping that someone will air all his dirty laundry before the Convention. We should try to do that any way we can. The media won’t do it because they will also turn on him once he has the nomination.
callie from dnc open thread?
I mostly agree with you but if SHE knew that and now WE know that – don’t you believe the SUPERS now should KNOW this??? AND WHY isn’t someone LEAKING more???
If the dumb butt Repugs get over confident they will BLOW it and the koolaid will be a permanent fixture upon the heads of the Obamanation and your HATE for the CLINTONS will be the LEAST of your problems!!!
and actually you will probably deserve it for allowing a really GOOD candidate to lose – ONE that could actually GET SOME THINGS DONE for the GOOD of EVERYONE in America. Cuz she’s a WORK HORSE, she’s LOYAL, she’s CLASSIC, She would be a wonderful President.
it’s really very sad
Dawnelle the day before Obama announced that he was the nominee — the undecided SD’s had a meeting and they decided not to endorse any candidate until the Convention. Next day Obama comes out and says they support him — he got a verbal agreement from them. They seem to have allowed him to get away with saying he had their endorsements. Now it appears to be negotiable whether Hillary’s name will be put in nomination. Who died and left Obama the boss of the Democratic Party and why in the hell are they allowing this. If it was just to hand the election to McCain they could have done this without looking like major league assholes.
perhaps it’s a diversion on behalf of the SDs? Let the republicans target obambi until August and then name Clinton as the nominee? Gives her a great chance to gear up and be “ready on day one”…of the national campaign that is. It would also throw a giant monkey-wrench into the GOP machine to have to completely change gears this far into the game.
It could possibly be a stroke of genius.
It is strange about the sds. Gov. Ritter of Colorado didn’t even know his name was on the list of endorsers. The last time I checked the list, there are still 125 uncommitted sds. In her last speech, she said, “I’ll never give up and I’ll never give in”. She suspended her campaign instead of conceding, her campaign reserved the right to challenge Mi. allotment before the credentials committee. If they take her name off the ballot with or without her permission, it only takes two people to get it back on. The only way they could stop it, would be to find a way to shut her supporters down and that won’t be pretty on nationally televised convention. I think a floor fight would be a great way to cleanse the party. They can kiss the GE goodby anyway so why not have a show down?
A president in their pocket…..I’ve said that from the get-go.
Hillary would have cut off their loopholes.
annin — I agree. Nancy Pelosi resented the thought of having an activist president who would set the agenda for Congress. She wanted an empty suit and an easy life. But she might end up with a laughable party instead.

rjj — I have no idea why they are allowing themselves to be forced to do this. Cause it wouldn’t work with me. When have the Democrats ever been unified about anything? Why would Hillary do this? He is still going on about having to bite his lip because of her attacks on him. Yet she is out there promoting him — WHY. Bill Clinton has the right idea — he left the country. Perhaps Dems are working behind the scenes to destroy his candidacy. No one deserves it more. All I know is that we have to laugh at how ridiculous the Democratic Party has become. Why didn’t I leave the party sooner?
HOUND COULD STAND FOR:

Rendell, you may be willing to honor that time-honored doggy tradition of eating shit, but I’m not.
If not Clinton then McCain.
Turncoat.
To Gov. Randell,
If the DNC and the democratic party gave a rats ass about electing a democratic president they would not have rigged the election to ensure victory for the weaker candidate!!! SO EXCUSE ME IF I AIN’T FEELING THE UNITY HYPE!!!
THE SEXIST VITRIOL AND RACE BAITING TOOK IT OVER THE TOP!!!!!!SO THE DNC AND THE SPINELESS SUPERDELEGATES HAVE ONLY THEMSELVES TO BLAME FOR THIS MAJOR FUCK UP!!!!
I don’t blame Ed Rendell for this. I think Rendell laughs behind Obama’s back. But he is doing what he has been told to do. Now if they wanted to organize this ridiculous group why would they need the Governor of Pa to do it. I think like with Hillary -Rendell was forced to do this and he will do it in his tongue and cheek way. There are a lot of top Dems complaining about Obama’s arrogance and will be glad to see the back of him.
Whatever next — Terry McAuliffe organizing a Black Liberation Theology Convention? This is more Obama loyalty or else.
There is a bigger issue here. Why are all the Democrats made to tow the line for this clown? This is not the Democratic Party I have loved all my life–
Yes! How? What are the carrots? What are the sticks? Who wields them. Not Obama; not some fresh, new, visionary, easily fatigued, easily bored, political novice from Chicago.

OMG you guys & gals are the greatest!
Here it is Saturday night, I’ve some spare cash, single y sin compromisos ni ninos (in English: and without ‘a relationship’ and also with no kids to deal with), and . . .
instad of going out on the town here in beautiful SoCal, I’m enjoying myself too much just being a part of this fine community ~ the PUMAs
Havin’ too much fun here ~ Love all y’all!!!
Another thing that is great about this site is that it isn’t a stagnant site only posting new articles during business hours.
There is a wealth of information here and often searches would lead me back here with the best links to run down articles on Obama.
This place can be addicting though…I’m so far behind on stuff it is pathetic.
Ed and his likes are professional Dems. There’s a big difference between believing in Democratic principles because they’re your core and being paid to say things Democratic. H.O.U.N.D = “He’s Our Unlimited National Donor”!
So, we are asking all PUMA members to curb your disappointment, mute your anger and frustration and join HOUND to help change America. While the PUMA may be more swift and athletic, the HOUND is smarter and more perceptive.
Ed Rendell is joking — why should people who are pro-Obama join Hound? What is the point? If you already want Obama and you are a Democrat what do you need to join another group for?
Ed Rendell is too smart a man to come up with this gobble-di-gook. I could believe it of Pelosi and Dean but not Rendell. There actually are Democrats who are laughing at this mob. Bill Clinton said if Obama wants me to support him he will have to kiss my ass.
I still can’t believe it’s true.
Bill’s quiet and everybody in Obutt camp is nervous.
You know…I think Rendell is a pretty good guy and I think he too is pretty disappointed in what has taken place. I think his heart is really PUMA. So here is my theory on HOUND. Ed is talking in code and wants us to figure out the code. HillaryObamaUnifiedNot…Denver! ROFLMAO

Another came up with this blur similar to the way Rendell blurred PUMA:
HOUND = HOPE OF UNITY NOW DEAD
LOL CJ
where’s all the money obama is supposed to be raising??????? if obama can’t bring in the money his butt goes out the door. that’s the way it always has worked and always will. the hillary supporters and big donors have hurt them and that won’t change. where’s the money for the convention. all of a sudden i hear nothing about it but i also don’t see anything saying it has been handled. so if barfy can’t pay the tab, then his credit is cut off.
so all the poor aa’s are going to give this money? no many of them have high gas bills. the young? no, probably they maxed out dad’s credit card. the latte gulpers? to a point and not beyond. the corporations? to a point and not beyond.
Oh my gosh, i just noticed and read some of the others above — really funny!
National Party members like ed Rendell and even Hillary Clinton must continue to support the DNC’s choice. They are career politicians and right or wrong they must continue to support their party and hope to change it from within.
I don’t hold anything against them for doing what they have to do to not be ostricized from the party that they are groudned in and have lived their lives being a part of not just philosophically but career wise.
now the voters are a different matter.
I do not earn one fucking penny from the DNC or from politics.
I dont have to take the lesser evil or compromise my beliefs for the good fo the party.
I don’t have to worry that i will be made the political scapegoat and pilloried if obama fails to win becaue i didnt give speaches supporting him when i was told to.
I am not part of the system.
So i can stick my finger, my foot and my vote right up where it hurts them the most, giving people like HIllary and ed rendell the power to change the party from within once obama loses in november and the only people that can be blamed for it in the party are obama and his campaign of assholes and shitheads who fucked it up for themselves.
If Ed and Hillary and all the others don’t atleast make a solid effort to call for unity they will be scapegoated and will become the distraction that will be used to avoid dealing with the core issue.
The core issue is that Obama is an unqualified turnip with a gangster mentality campaign. And if he loses big enough in november only then can the DNC extricate themselve from his garbage.
Its going to take a lot of surgery to get rid of the disease.
PaganPower . BO also does not understand Article I of the Constitution. When Senator Clinton called for repealing the AUMF, BO called it a “convoluted approach” for ending the Iraq War.
…just a sec, got my constitution..right here…Artical I Section VIII.
BRAVO!
Am I still banned because I refuse the drink the Obama-Hate Koolaid?
Just asking.
Ive thought for a while that some of the Hillary groups that have formed recently were designed by Obama to monitor and interfere in anti Obama activity. I guess HOUND is just being a bit more direct than most.
I could name one Im suspicious of in particular but it just a suspicion at this point. I would suggest that if you join a group you find out what the sponsors were doing during the primary and confirm it.
As far as HOUND-the name says it all. The goal of the group is to hound PUMAS, to run them to the ground. The group is made up of HOUNDS-plural-one puma can take down a dog-but Hunters use groups of dogs to track down wild animals and kill them. Keep in mind Ed is from a huntin state. They are encouraging the cyber thugs that Obama has to attack PUMAS.
I think we need to start to focus or attentions. All these groups have so many agendas nothing is going to get done. Lets say we have three main goals:
Oppose a handful of politicians that supported Obama over their constituencies (and Pelosi-I just cant stand her twitching anymore-call me petty).
Refrain from voting for Obama and expose him for the fraud he is.
And when people like Ed attack us-as a group respond. These people are acting like we are serfs and they are our feudal masters. Such an unwise attitude to adopt.
Hmmm…good point about being careful which site you join.
I ran across one that made me back out fast and clear my cookies.
Another interesting point about the name hound.
NO offense to Mets fans but this like Eddie asking Philadelphia to longer be Phillies fans and join the Mets. They would rather cut their arm off.
I know Rendell knows this but he is putting on a good show.
Hey, Hound is code for; Hope Obama Unites No Dems
So does this mean all the Dem politicians associated with Obama and his new Hound are just ticks and fleas??
Quick, everyone, stock up on Advantix.
I’d rather be voting for a Clinton/Rendell ticket, but not if he’s gonna say stupid stuff like this!!
I’ve always been more of a “cat person” for some reason, dogs are just too easy to control and do whatever you tell them (obey). Cats have a mind of their own.
Dogs think they’re human, Cats KNOW they’re God. LOL
DEAR EDDIE……IN NOV YOU WILL FIND THAT OUR PUMA BITES ARE WORSE THAN YOUR HOUND BARKS……..
For an argument’s logic to apply consistently it must be reversible in debate.
He who sleeps with fleas gets dogs.
This is not always true.
Therefore, Obama isn’t corrupt.
Think Prof.Ayers will grade me above the curve?
Don’t be so hard on Rendell. He certainly merits a strong response, but this post makes me feel like he is no better than McCaskill or someone, and he certainly is. He stood by Hillary and fought for her when no one else would. He also let some pretty unflattering things about Obama slip, like when he told AC360 about how he would be the nominee so Rendell better not jeapordize it, or when he said in regards to a PA fundraiser they just need checks, not the people, etc. He is doing his job, just like Hillary is, and I know not everyone agrees with this, but I think both really think any Dem is better than a Republican.. I remember what that was like. Hillary (and Rendell) and I disagree on this point, but I still respect them.
And in any case, remember that Rendell is a VERY smart politician. Don’t think for one second that Rendell did not realize that establishing a counter group to the PUMA movement elevates our importance. Rendell felt the need to respond, we are somebody’s.
PUMA
I still like Ed Rendell. He was a great mayor and he’s been a popular Gov. But he’s also a consummate politician. So, he comes out with this silly Hound Dog thing, which is so silly it makes me want to laugh. Become a Hound over a Puma? Come on!
But if he really wants the dogs to run, I’ll send my pooch out to the polls in November. Warning though . . . she might pee on the floor or start sniffing crotches.
A dog’s gotta do what a dog’s gotta do. What a silly idea [and I can't help but think Rendell knows that already].
PUMApac.org
I heard two Interviews with Ed Rendell, in the last couple of months,and he was a VERY strong supporter for Hillary,I remember him saying sh be she’d be the nominee, and the next President of the United States.He said this with many of his interviews. The last one I heard,and it was around the time of the Sds had backed Obama instead, of Clinton,and he was shocked that they would want to send the weakest Candidate up against John Mccain. So I believe something is going on behind the scenes, that we are not seeing. Because this is just too phony. I don’t think the Hounds was Rendells idea. I also hope more Democrats start to quit the party, and maybe someone will wake up.. Bill Clinton would be a good person to get the ball rolling. Just say no deal Mr Clinton.
LOL…remember this email.
I hope Karolina NYC from Riverdaughter’s blog doesn’t mind.
“Karolina NYC, on June 28th, 2008 at 9:55 am Said:
Riverdaughter, like the ladies speaking for Puma on Cable yesterday, you give a wonderful voice to our hearts and minds.
And now, in reference to Mr. Rendell’s last sentence, I would like to post a short comparison of a dog diary (ie. “hound” vs. cat diary (ie. “puma”). Who’s less naive and smarter?”

CAT DIARY
Day 983 of my captivity. My captors continue to taunt me with bizarrelittle dangling objects. They dine lavishly on fresh meat, while the other inmates and I are fed hash or some sort of dry nuggets.
Although I make my contempt for the rations perfectly clear, I nevertheless must eat something in order to keep up my strength. The only thing that keeps me going is my dream of escape. In an attempt to disgust them, I once again vomit on the carpet. Today I decapitated a mouse and dropped its headless body at their feet. I had hoped this would strike fear into their hearts, since it clearly demonstrates what I am capable of. However, they merely made condescending comments about what a ‘good little hunter’ I am. Bastards!
There was some sort of assembly of their accomplices tonight. I was placed in solitary confinement for the duration of the event. However, I could hear the noises and smell the food. I overheard that my confinement was due to the power of ‘allergies.’ I must learn what this means, and how to use it to my advantage.
This morning I was almost successful in an attempt to assassinate one of my tormentors by weaving around his feet as he was walking. I must try this again tomorrow– but at the top of the stairs.
I am convinced that the other prisoners here are flunkies and snitches. The dog receives special privileges. He is regularly released – and seems to be more than willing to return. He is obviously retarded.
The bird has got to be an informant. I observe him communicate with the guards regularly. I am certain that he reports my every move. My captors have arranged protective custody for him in an elevated cell, so he is safe. For now…
OMG that’s funny.
At least they have a cool logo…

Seems weird Rendell supporting Obama because he agreed with Hillary that Obama is inexperienced and Obama was referring to the people in his state saying they are bitter,they cling to their God,Religion and their guns…I guess the Hounds of Hell are tormenting Rendell….
The name HOUNDS is probably one of the poorest choice of names for a political group. Is Obama’s campaign racist? Just think of it – Blood HOUNDS were used to hunt down runaway slaves in the pre-Civil War South. I can’t even use the other names of typical Southern Hunting Hounds lest I offend. To use HOUNDs as the name of political group smacks of racism. I can’t believe Obama’s campaign would resort to the use of racist imagery to promote Unity. Are we slave voters that he wants to hunt down and drag back to the Unity party? Its just a crazy choice for a name.
Maybe Rendell is signaling with this name that we need to run in the opposite direction from these HOUNDs. Perhaps he’s saying we need to look North to New York for our guiding star.
I have a theory…as most people do, albeit different ones.
Hillary has kept her word and is SUSPENDING her campaign to support obambi. Rendell, her most ardent supporter and the man she would most likely pick for vp has come out and made this statement (the “hound” thing is actually a stroke of genius, you’ll see why). Obambi is supposed to help pay off her campaign debt.
Now, each day, more and more negative stories pop up about obambi. Each day, more and more doubt is sown. We know there are October surprises on the horizon, we know there is a reported “whitey tape”, we know about the Larry Sinclair allegations, we know about the Donald Young murder allegations, we know about Rezko, we know about ties to many different people who are far less than honest.
What if…. Hillary and Ed and those who have worked their entire lives to make a difference are biding their time, paying off debt, suspending the campaign and eating crow for the moment only to un-suspend the campaign in August for the convention, after America is as sick and tired of obambi as I have been for many months? What if there are huge, huge stories still out there that will convince the DNC that Obambi is completely unelectable? (If they haven’t been convinced already). What if his support dries up?(since half of it was from republicans because they wanted to run against obambi, not Hillary)
Hillary is a very, very intelligent woman and has the grace and the fortitude to take the crap for a few months when she KNOWS that come August, she and Rendell will be the Democratic ticket coming OUT of the convention? They do what is asked of them for now and bide their time, just as any political prisoner would do, and when the time comes to pounce (as PUMAs are apt to do), then she will be in the perfect position to reopen her campaign and take the nomination.
This ball game isn’t over and Clinton/Rendell would win in a landslide after obambi has destroyed himself to the point that his supporters practically beg Hillary to take the nomination to save the party.
Besides, it’s also a nice diversion to have the republicans spend their time and money focusing on Obama right now and not even noticing Hillary coming in under the radar and crushing them in November.
Of course if that doesn’t happen, I’ll be voting McCain as any good PUMA would do.
forgot to explain “hounds”.
Rendell and Clinton know the most negative word for a dog is “hound” (other than the gender specific ones). They know the opposing force of “cat” is “dog”, they know it sounds stupid and juvenile and they knew that obambi would eat it up becuase he’s an idiot.
By making a name like this, it guarantees PUMA will be recognized in any article that mentions “hounds” to explain the reason for the name and give PUMA more press.
IF my theory holds, it will show Clinton/Rendell as the master politicians and great leaders we know them to be. If not, then they have more patience than I do and are holding out for 2012 after McCain’s one term presidency.
Besides, McCain is a decent man, I don’t like his gravitation toward bush, but understand it was politically necessary. He is at least a true patriot and one of the more honest politicians out there. He would not destroy the country as I fear obambi would. It’s also hard to completely trash an ex POW who fought hard for his country just as our soldiers are doing now. They didn’t choose bush’s war, but they did choose to serve in the military and fight for our country. Unfortunately, the “commander in chief” doesn’t value them as much as they value us.
You lie down with dogs you get up with fleas. You lie down with PUMAs you get eaten. The end.
F+++ YOU RENDELL
Yes. That is why we need to vote for John McCain!
Great post Uppity. LMAO! You so nailed Rendell and the absurdity of HOUND. I too could not believe the last line. You would think someone associated with Obama would figure out that if you want to reach out and bring us to the dark side, the last thing they should do is insult us in the process. These people will NEVER get it. That is clear. They just cannot help themselves.
Ok Sprout, I am willing to go along with your theory. That would even explain the seemingly last parting shot at PUMAS, virtually guaranteeing that we won’t cross over. I hope you are right. We shall see.
It’s all about MONEY. Has nothing to do with the Kool-aid. The Obama Camp controls the DNC and the DNC pocketbook. Down-ticket dems are being told pointblank “Play O ball or be left out in the cold”. Obama is putting the fear of being “Joe Lieberman-ed” in them.
Re: Rendell
I guess as your “approved” politician pool dwindles, it’ll be you and ?? Fascinating, a cult group rejected by its idol.
Ed, if you had any cajones, you could’ve been the exalted leader of the PUMA’s. But no, you had to sell out too. What was your price? Or were there threats that made you pee your pants? Good riddance to another apparent coward. Ed, you are this week’s Weakest Link. Ta-ta.
The DNC must be very scared they are going to lose in November to make everyone support Obama.
The way you idiots are acting I would have trouble convincing myself to ever vote for a woman again. Grow up
The way you idiots are acting I would have trouble convincing myself to ever vote for a woman again.
I am guessing you already had that problem.
And the HOUNDing begins…..
Ooooooh, sssshiver. Now the anti-christ has put the hounds of hell onto us??? Oh no. Whatever shall we do?
Screw ‘em, of course;)
Could someone here help a former Kucinich and Edwards supporter understand why it is that we should not vote for Obama as opposed to McCain?
Really. I want to understand just what Hillary stood for that was so very different from Obama. Their health care plans were essentially the same in their corporate oriented views (yes, yes, I know about Obama’s not supposedly being universal, but Hillary’s was hardly any better…). And other than that…what was the difference?
I saw ridiculous statements coming from surrogates of Hillary, but I also noticed the corporate media was very cruel to Hillary–after making her the front runner way back when she announced. Hillary took the air out of the room and only Obama seemed to be allowed to fill up the room by our corporate media.
Well, Hillary did not prevail and it’s time to make sure we don’t have four more years of someone who is an abject idiot. McCain does not know jack about the economy, and he will sure as hell draft your children to replace our exhausted troops in Iraq. And God knows what number of bombs he wants to drop over Iran. And if anyone is satisfied about the 5-4 decisions on the Supreme Court, then by all means, just keep pouting and telling me you might vote for the idiot McCain.
So, please, enlighten me as to why I am wrong here. Could ya?
PS: Obama did not swear on the Koran when he became a Senator. He is not a secret Muslim. He does not share Rev. Wright’s views on race, AIDs or anything else that we’ve heard Wright say that was off the wall. He and Hillary are decent bankers and believe earnestly in public policy. I may not agree with them on some economic issues, and sure as heck opposed the Iraq War from the beginning (as did Obama), and I believe the Democratic Party leadership was spineless in not impeaching Bush and Cheney a long time ago. But I am also sure I am voting for Obama this fall to ensure McCain does not win. How about you all?
