Sounds like a declaration of one within the Democratic Party to me. As I and others have stated before the election, there will be a clash within the Democratic Party between the far left (Dean, the 527's, etc) and the corrupt moderates (The Clinton machine).Liberal powerhouse MoveOn has a message for the "professional election losers" who run the Democratic Party: "We bought it, we own it, we're going to take it back."
A scathing e-mail from the head of MoveOn's political action committee to the group's supporters on Thursday targets outgoing Democratic National Committee (news - web sites) chairman Terry McAuliffe as a tool of corporate donors who alienated both traditional and progressive Democrats.
For years, the party has been led by elite Washington insiders who are closer to corporate lobbyists than they are to the Democratic base," said the e-mail from MoveOn PAC's Eli Pariser. "But we can't afford four more years of leadership by a consulting class of professional election losers."
This won't create a ripple immediately. But it is a sign of whats to come in the next couple of years. Next month we'll see who will have the upper hand when Howard Dean and Harold Ickies contend for the DNC chairman seat.
Here's what's really funny, though:
MoveOn.org thinks it's any different than any corporation or special interest group. Right. Ask them who their biggest contributors were? The answer: the heads of corporations, particularly J. Peter Lewis and George Soros. They act like they're different from any other corporate or special interest group out there."In the last year, grass-roots contributors like us gave more than $300 million to the Kerry campaign and the DNC, and proved that the party doesn't need corporate cash to be competitive," the message continued. "Now it's our party: we bought it, we own it, and we're going to take it back."
And some good all of that money did. They outspent the Republicans, and the Republicans still beat them, and pretty badly I might add. Maybe I'm wrong, but that might mean you can't just place any dope out there to run for office and expect him to win because you got a ton of money. Aw, what the hell do I know...
It's gonna be fun watching them destroy the Democratic Party. They are so blind and ego-driven that they don't realize that they were part of the problem in 2004, not the solution.
