progressive cyberdadaism from our nation’s capital
One of the questions about the PUMA movement has been whether they are a front group for Republican shenanigans, or at least a vehicle for said shenanigans. Today, as I was going through the rivermalkin blogroll I found a group called, misspelling in the original: Native American’s Against Obama.
It looks totally bogus.
To my ear these sound like standard issue Republican talking points:
Obama, has changed his mind over Isreal, Public Finance, the War, and just about ever other position he has even taken. Why should we think he would treat us any different?
The job of President is not on the job training……..
Native Americans have as a significant concern the Israel/Palestinian State issue? That strains credibility. If they did, you’d think they’d at least spell Israel correctly.

Native Americans can’t make their own decisions about who to support for President?

Well, today I read on Yahoo!.com that the Hillary dead-enders are still going to Denver, bitchin all the way, even though
it looks like Obama has caved or graciously allowed, however you want to view it, the object of the Hillary dead-enders’ name to be placed in nomination.

Well, if this doesn’t appease them, then the only thing we can do is just pass over Obama and his delegates and award the nomination
to Hillary. Maybe that will make them happy and they’ll stop stomping their feet all will be right with the world. Or
maybe they’ll still vote for McCain.

Yes, I saw that.
I think what will make them happy depends on who they actually are. The disgruntled Dems would probably be happy with some form of hari kari. The Republicans-in-disguise want something more painful than that.
