Greta Van Sustern Asks Is the PUMA Movement Real?
September 1st, 2008 16:53

Fox News host of On the Record and Legal Analyst Greta Van Sustern today is asking if the PUMA Movement is real on her Greta Wire blog. I think she is really asking how large it is. So far she has received over 1,700 responses. Here is her post:

Do you think PUMA (”Party Unity My A**) is real? meaning that there are a substantial number of Democrats who are still angry over the Democratic nominee? or do you think the Democratic Party NOW has UNITY? that those originally unhappy with the nominee have now come to terms with the situation and fully support Senator Obama?

Check out the video below (actually above in my post)…and yes, it could be posted by one person…and have no (yes, zero) impact…or it could have the support of some..or even many…what is it? watch and comment..

I am not sure how large the PUMA movement is, certainly it numbers in the thousands in terms of formal members. In terms of the number of who subscribes to the goals of the PUMA cause that number is likely in the tens of thousands but not much more. If the PUMA started out as one of reform it quickly morphed into something else, that of outright hate. I suspect after the election, they will go the way of the dodo bird which had infinitely more intelligence.

Wow. Over 1600 responses so far. Skimming the responses and it’s almost frightening to see the scope of the comments.

Do you think we’re making an impact?

Has there ever been a recent presidential candidate that has evoked such animosity as Obama has? In an earlier post, Charles wrote about Palin having a quality of authenticity. I think the distrust towards Obama stems in part from Obama’s inauthenticity.

He’s a fake and most of his supporters pretend he is JFK and MLK rolled into one despite numercous incidents illustrating that he is a corporate-controlled centrist/social right winger. He doesn’t care about women. In fact, he has contempt for them. Every day I’m leaning more and more towards McCain because I honestly believe he cares more about this country and he would be a competent manager and do the right thing in Katrina-like situations, though his hawkish foreign policy scares me. Would he start another war?
