Your Actual Democratic Party: MoveOn Vote

UPDATE: Ian proves his brilliance once again. Read the whole, devastating thing, but remember this powerful money quote:

Now the problem here is that MoveOn has been a very effective proxy for a long time, running ads that say things the Democrats can't.Every time they try and act as a proxy in the future what Republicans will say is "MoveOn are a bunch of extremist who were condemned by a bipartisan motion in the Senate." Brilliant. Absolutely brilliant to damage a proxy like that. Can you imagine Republicans ever doing that to, say, the NRA.

Democrats who don't hate you are as follows. Remember this list, in the coming months. These are representatives who don't hate populism, and probably hold more of the values you do that the rest of them:

Senate Resolution 315 (to condemn MoveOn)

NAYs ---25
Akaka (D-HI)
Bingaman (D-NM)
Boxer (D-CA)
Brown (D-OH)
Byrd (D-WV)
Clinton (D-NY)
Dodd (D-CT)
Durbin (D-IL)
Feingold (D-WI)
Harkin (D-IA)
Inouye (D-HI)
Kennedy (D-MA)
Kerry (D-MA)
Lautenberg (D-NJ)
Levin (D-MI)
Menendez (D-NJ)
Murray (D-WA)
Reed (D-RI)
Reid (D-NV)
Rockefeller (D-WV)
Sanders (I-VT)
Schumer (D-NY)
Stabenow (D-MI)
Whitehouse (D-RI)
Wyden (D-OR)
Not Voting - 3
Biden (D-DE)
Cantwell (D-WA)
Obama (D-IL)

I'll give Obama and Biden a pass, this time, for just sitting it out. Although I do think it's rather cowardsly.

Good for Hillary

And, unbelievably, Schumer.

We. Are. Going. To. Die. We must restore hope in the world. We must bring forth a new way of living that can sustain the world. Or else it is not just us who will die but everyone. What have we got to lose? Go forth and Fight!—Xan

Fuck!

Greenwald:

Congratulations to Dianne Feinstein, Pat Leahy, Jim Webb and 19 other Senate Democrats for finally finding something they can get done with the control of the Congress given to them by the American voter. Nobody can say anymore that they have achieved nothing.

Klobuchar of MN: wrong every time

By Tinfoil Hat Boy on Thu, 09/20/2007 - 6:09pm

Iraq Funding
FISA Capitulation
Move On

I sent fucking money to this Senator's campaign. She beat an absolutely vile Republican. But she is wrong EVERY TIME.

At least we have Norm Coleman to fall back on.

Minnesota ain't liberal, and it ain't nice.

Fuck me but I am disgusted with these wankers.

Good reading! Favorite quote: What could go wrong?
Beyond war, inflation, the end of the technology/productivity wave, and financial collapse, we think the most potent and short-term threat would be societies demanding a more ‘equitable’ share of wealth.
