25. On the TV, RW talk shows, anybody that will air them.
I don't think anyone here would admit to being one. Doesn't mean they aren't here though.

There are a LOT of former DU posters who are actively working against Obama.

They're drama-junkies. They're old women who think they're somehow being patriotic and relevent. Most of it is coming from racism. It is utterly shocking to see how much racism purged themselves from the party when game time came. I'd say we're better off now. Obama is still winning amoung the independents.

I absolutely cannot wait until they realize everything they have done will count for ... nothing.

16. A PUMA is a foolish person who is buying into a Republican script.
Not content with just winning, the Repukes have made it their goal to win AND destroy the Clintons in the process. The PUMA movement is the tool they are using for that purpose.

On the surface, it is a group of people who refuse to support the Obama/Biden ticket because Hillary did not get the nomination. Below the surface, where the real dirty work goes on, it is being manipulated by right-wing forces to kill two birds with one stone - get McCain elected and ruin Hillary in the process.

Whoops, I exposed their whole game plan... hope they don't get mad, lol. ;)
