All this talk about PUMAs got me thinking... wouldn't it be great if the people being highlighted by the media "saw the light," as it were, and realized how ridiculous it would be for them to support John McCain? Then I thought...what if one of them were actually doing all this on purpose?!? You know, saying they want to support McCain and getting featured in the news and in McCain ads only to come out later and say that, once she learned who McCain really was, she couldn't possibly vote for the guy. Think of the publicity!

Anyway, it got me to typing...I don't know how to write ads or marketing material, but it was kinda fun to type this up.

I received my long-awaited form-letter response to my letter to Senator Casey of Pennsylvania regarding the Senate's behavior in response to the MoveOn.org ad about General Petraeus. Like so many of us, I was outraged, and frankly, embarrassed by the Senate's response to the newspaper advertisement.. and like many others, I fired off a few emails and notes about it...

The response I got? As expected... More below, along with my own reaction back to Senator Casey.

Official count of Americans killed in 9/11 attacks: 2,819.

Official count of Americans killed in Iraq: 2,813 as of 10/31, with 13 additional troops killed in November as of 11/5, bringing the total (so far) to 2,826.

Where is the pseudopatriotic outrage against the people responsible for the deaths of nearly 3,000 Americans this time around?

This was first brought to the list by Finnegan, but I wanted to make sure that it got some notice...and, I wanted to add a thought or two about the pathetic state of Republican ethics in Southwestern Pennsylvania.

From Saturday's Pittsburgh Post-Gazette: Congressman facing ethics flap

U.S. Rep. Tim Murphy, who is seeking his third term in Congress, has mixed campaign activities and official government work in a manner that present and former staffers consider unethical or in violation of House rules, according to interviews with a half-dozen of them...The allegations primarily concern the use of taxpayer-funded congressional staff and resources to do work they viewed as part of Mr. Murphy's political campaign.

For more (including the silver lining), and to give me the chance to rant about Melissa Hart while I'm at it, jump on down...

I posted this as a comment in the Part II thread about the fundraising push, but then right afterwards, the "Last Push" thread went up and I'm not sure that many people will read Part II any more... SO, I thought I'd try my hand at my first-ever diary in an attempt to spread the word about this fundraising effort...
