Three Cheers for MoveOn and the Lefty BloggersI know, you don't expect to see those sentiments here. But they're doing more to crush the Democrats than all the Republican blogs combined.
Consider this
article on MoveOn.
Between bites of sushi, Matzzie noted how senior Democratic senators eagerly rearrange their schedules to meet with MoveOn. And how MoveOn would be comfortable helping defeat Democratic Rep. Allen Boyd if the Panhandle congressman continues embracing private accounts for Social Security.
What's more, "We're going to have to have some discussions with Bill Nelson," because Florida's senior senator appears reluctant to block President Bush's controversial judicial nominations. And the centrist Democratic Leadership Council that helped guide Bill Clinton into the White House? So 1990s.Translation: They are determined to purge the ranks until only the absolute faithful remain.
You can see the same phenomenon in the lefty blogs. Atrios has his "Social Security Wall of Shame" for Democrats who've gone off the reservation on Social Security personal accounts.
