The news story:
One of the nation’s largest liberal advocacy organizations, MoveOn.org , is resisting efforts to clear the Democratic primary field for Republican-turned-Democratic Sen. Arlen Specter.
The political arm of MoveOn flexed its muscle Friday by releasing the results of an online poll that showed the vast majority of the group’s roughly 170,000 members in Pennsylvania — 85 percent — would consider supporting a Democratic challenger against Specter.
The group expressed concern over Specter’s vote against President Obama’s $3.4 billion budget just one day after defecting to the Democratic Party. MoveOn also cited comments Specter made in an appearance on “Meet the Press” last weekend suggesting he would oppose a public health insurance option that some Democrats would like to see included in any health care reform proposal.
Now, the story does go on to note that if Specter goes flat out kook left in his voting, a lot of MoveOn members will be willing to back him, but I still like the fact that these screwballs at MoveOn have a little bit of sense. Why should people who have worked desperately to enact an insanely destructive agenda allow the Democrat powers-that-be to saddle them with a person only moderately-insane? The Democratic party gets an advantage – securing a Senate seat on the cheap…but for the drooling morons of MoveOn, what do they get?
So, have at him, MoveOn…force the Democrats to either get Specter to go so far ’round the bend that Chuck Schumer looks conservative, or defeat him and get an even more batsh** crazy nominee. Either way, we GOPers are behind you 100% in this effort. Meanwhile I, personally, wish to congratulate you on a bit of backbone – after years of watching you bend over and say, “thank you sir, may I have another?”, its nice to see that there is a least one or two American blood cells remaining in your systems.
