OT Move On declaring war on right-wing Democrats ROFLMAO

Dear MoveOn member,

This year our top goal is breaking the right-wing Republican
stranglehold on Congress. That is our main focus every day.

It is also part of our work together to hold Democrats to their
Party's highest values on issues like foreign policy, economic
prosperity and good government.

That sometimes means grappling with specific right-wing Democrats who
consistently side with big corporations and right-wing Republicans.

One approach is to support progressive primary challengers to
right-wing Democrats. We think this makes sense but it's a big
decision so we wanted to check with you and other MoveOn members. What
do you think?


The story about "the Democrat who sold out" has become too familiar.
Too often progressives tip toe around these betrayals. But there needs
to be real consequences for these Democrats.


Replacing a right-wing Democrat with a more progressive Democrat will
help voters more clearly understand what Democrats stand for—and that
will help Democrats win.

Many of these conservative Democrats we would challenge represent
states or districts that are heavily Democratic—so we're not
imperiling a Democratic majority by doing this.

Why is this a big decision? At some level it isn't—we've consistently
held Democrats feet to the fire on a long list of issues. But
challenging right-wing Democrats in an electoral setting would be new
for MoveOn.org Political Action.

Who are the Democrats we would challenge? One example is Congressman
Henry Cuellar in Texas. Cuellar is a right-wing Democrat infamous for
supporting the Bush agenda and Republican legislation.

He is wrong on many core Democratic issues like the war and Medicare,
he often undermines key Democratic initiatives and too often pokes
progressives in the eye with his votes and statements. (More on
Cuellar tomorrow.)

We would start with the worst like Cuellar and work to build a
progressive majority one election at a time.

A Democratic majority will be a big step towards progressive reform.
But at the same time we have to work to build a progressive majority
that will work towards bold reforms.




Viable candidates. We don't want to waste your money—so we work hard
to pick candidates who have a real shot at winning.


A progressive majority. We believe that all Democrats are not the
same—and we work to elect progressive members of Congress when we can.
Support our member-driven organization: MoveOn.org Political Action is
entirely funded by our 3.3 million members. We have no corporate
contributors, no foundation grants, no money from unions. Our tiny
staff ensures that small contributions go a long way. If you'd like to

Are you a progressive thinker? Or a conservative thinker?

The above is an example of bargaining... you ask for a helluva lot more
than you want, and you end up getting what you want. moveon.org is
pretty much a fringe group anyway, just like the sbv't crew.

Is it any wonder they are loosing ground daily? No only are they against
the Dims that can think for themselves, they're spending all of their time
and money trying to defeat Bush, they apparently do not realize there is a
22nd amendment. LOL

If there were a motel room somewhere between here and Key West, I'd
take a drive down and have a drink with ya, Mike.

LOL...

fyi the drive from my house to Key West is 376 miles...and I'd rather
not drive that distance, have a few drinks laffin about you libs and
driving back home...

My first year in Florida....my wife and I started out for Key West
over Christmas. We got down to Marathon and decided to look for a
place to stay....that is when I found out that the Keys are all booked
solid in the winter.

I gotta admit, I did get a chuckle out of that truck. You sure you not
a standup comic somewhere??

Scott, you gotta refine your sentences.
