That's Hill as in Hillary Clinton. And having spent much time at the site I can tell you that these people are great Americans who, should I ever meet them, would be proud to call friends and patriots. I have never supported Hillary Clinton, and would have opposed her at every turn, but I would not be fearing for our country's future were she about to beat John McCain for the presidency. The folks at Hillbuzz and other PUMA sites have been among the most active participants in attempting to prevent the victory of Barack Obama. They have truly put country first, and I look forward to the day, hopefully in 2012 with a Palin or Bobby Jindal vs Hillary, when we can get back to discussing substantive issues with mutual respect, or at least lack of hatred, between our political opponents.
So I direct you to this post there:
Republicans, we Clinton Democrats stand with you. So join us any way you can and help us fight for America.
Republicans, this is directed at you. Hillary’s Army remains strong, and committed to putting McCain/Palin in the White House. Do not listen to the media. Ignore the trolls. Corral your Eeyores and put them on the endangered species list. Because by our most conservative estimate, you’re going to get 4 million Hillocrats on your side next week, with roughly another 3 million Democrats who voted for Kerry staying home or throwing their votes to McKinney or Nader. That’s 7 million votes Obama has lost from lifelong Democrats — because we love this country more than Republicans have ever given us credit for.
This is the greatest nation on Earth and we Democrats never fail to wake each morning deeply thankful and grateful for the opportunities we have here. We know what socialism is, and know we want no part of this here. Obama’s mission is to weaken this country and put us under the thumb of the UN, like a European socialist state. That’s not what we want.
We will fight tooth and nail to stop him. We’ve sunk everything we have into this — because McCain/Palin are worth it. We believe they will serve this country well, and will work with our champ, the new lion of the Senate, Hillary Clinton, to make us energy independent, to secure good solid jobs for all Americans, and to strengthen and grow our economy in a world stressed and tried in these times.
We do not intend for this alliance to be of only this moment — we’ve worked alongside all of you for months now and see we all have more in common than we ever had apart. We will never agree on everything, but let’s all start with our love of country. Our pride in America. Our willingness to work hard together to give everyone opportunities — not hand outs. Europe calls Obama’s plans socialism. We call it welfare. Obama says this is change. We paraphrase the McCain campaign because, much to our initial surprise, Clinton Democrats find more in common with McCain/Palin than we do the socialists the current Democratic Party revealed itself to be.
So, all of us centrists stand strongly with you. Please work hard in every way you can this last week. Join us in Ohio if you can — or in Pennsylvania, Indiana, Iowa, Wisconsin, or Virginia. Let’s make sure socialism is defeated once and for all.
We can do this together. If we work hard, we will win. And after our victory, we will work hard to find other commonalities going forward.
Of this, we promise you, our new friends.
Elephants and pumas together, now and going forward...
If you are able, go there and donate to help the PUMAs help us defeat Obama in Ohio. And for those of you who objected to my near-record breaking run of posts calling Barack Obama a socialist, note that these Clinton Democrats agree 100%.
I am donating myself the minute I finish typing this up. And while I will never support Hillary Clinton, I vow not to get into personal attacks should she have the opportunity to run for President again. If I've realized anything in the past few months, it's that honest, respectful disagreement with those who have the same goals as we do is a good thing. Both sides can learn a thing or two in that instance and find some common ground. And I've realized I love more of this country than I thought I did. Alas, this is not possible with most Obamabots, but I am thankful to realize that many Clinton supporters view the world in much the same way as I do, with different ideas on how to best accomplish our goals. Nobody has a monopoly on good ideas.
Except for the fact that I am usually correct.
;)
To any conservative who has not spent time at Hillbuzz, check it out. The amount of useful information and the comments with people from different sides working together to avoid a serious danger to America is heartwarming. I could spend hours there every day if I didn't have to write stuff myself.
Boy will my wife be shocked tomorrow when I tell her we donated money to a site for Hillary Clinton supporters.
