Taking a cue from the Obama Administration, MoveOn.org is now threatening to not support Democrats who vote their conscience with non-support. Opting to go childish (which is in character), those who decried the demonization of dissent are now ironically practicing what they preached against.
Republicans’ best chance to kill health care reform is to stop it from ever getting an up-or-down vote. But they can’t do it alone. Republicans need at least one Democrat to join them.
Unfortunately, a few conservative Democrats have publicly hinted they might help Republicans do just that if the bill includes a public health insurance option — even though the public option is supported by the overwhelming majority of Americans and has already passed four congressional committees. Conservative Democrats might doom health care reform, just to stop the public option from coming to a vote.
It’s pretty upsetting to think that a handful of Democratic senators—whom many of us helped elect—would join a Republican filibuster to block the most important Senate vote in a generation. But we could still pressure Democrats to do the right thing by publicly announcing that we’ll never support the re-election of anyone who helps Republicans filibuster.
The official question is: “Should MoveOn refuse to support the re-election of any senator who helps block an up-or-down vote on a health care reform bill with a public option?”
I’ll say this: liberals are and will continue to be entertaining.
It is very sad that a person like Guerra has such a narrow mind.
“I’ll say this: liberals are and will continue to be entertaining.”
absolutely
Entertaining?
Not so much.
Underhanded?
Absolutely.
Is this another one of those “pass the popcorn” moments ??
For the MoveOn crowd that have forgotten the distant, distant — yeah, I know, history, so boring — distant past, consider this:
Involuntary exploitation is a form of slavery.
The “greater good” is not a reference to an individual or group, but to society as a whole. It’s long past time that you stop embezzling public money for your failed pet projects. There are other ways to make a living… Get a job!
Where the hell are the civil rights leaders when you need them?
The real Civlil Rights leaders were shot and killed by members of the left.
The Machine:
Sad but true. However, this is a new day, and people of integrity and courage have and will continue to step forward.
America needs to move forward – one group continuously stands in the way. It’s time for MoveOn to Move Over! The group turned 11 this year, and has repeatedly been the source that drives American politics into the gutter. Stop embarrassing our nation, and move on. http://www.friendsoftheuschamber.com/moveover/
