3. I was never a memeber.

4. things that make you go - hmmm...

I'm a contributing MoveOn member - to the tune of a few hundred dollars worth...

hmmm...

[Proud2BAmurkin]

5. I cancelled move on. Never read the nation

[jlake]

9. Same here.

[grasswire]

6. not a Clinton supporter, but I cancelled moveon today

I don't want to be part of an organization that doesn't allow an "undecided" or "other" category in a poll, forcing an unwanted choice.

I'm out.

[tandem5]

7. Will? Its already done. nt

8. Move On's poll should have been done before the Iowa primary. How can

Move On jump into the campaign in the middle? Don't the Iowa, New Hampshire, Michigan, Nevada, South Carolina and Florida voters deserve Move On's recommendation? It also seems a little questionable that a 3.2 million member organization takes action on the vote of only 10% of its members, especially when so much is at stake.

I will use my money locally.

[juajen]

10. Yes.

[cooolandrew]

11. I realy lk the kind&gracious behaviour 2 the longest standin liberal paper. May I shake your hands.

[cooolandrew]

12. What no-one going to shake my hand. :o

[Perry Logan]

13. Hey--everybody makes mistakes.

[shaniqua6392]

14. I canceled Moveon membership yesterday.

I have a few more months on Nation subscription and I will not renew. I don't trust either of them any longer to be neutral. Progressives need organizations that are fighting for ALL Democrats against Republicans, not pitting one Dem against the other. Their reputation has been tarnished for me now.

15. Neither Clinton or Obama

are true progressives so it's kind of a moot point.

[Perry Logan]

16. Progressive groups give both Obama and Clinton high ratings.

The following are polls from progressive groups, rating Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama, on how often they vote for progressive issues. For each group, http://www.theleftcoaster.com/archives/011142.php

17. I wish I had what they were drinking

Looks like good stuff.

Apparently they are compared against "other Democrats" in congress and not so much against real progressive issues like---oh say---trade deals and true single payer health insurance.

The party has drifted so far to the right that some of these groups don't even know what "progressive" is. I'll say this: it wasn't giving Bush authority to go to war.

Hey---I'll take them over any Republican. That's how I plan to vote in the general election. But let's not call something it isn't. At least be honest aboutr the language.

Nader is progressive. He gets boiled alive here, for what it's worth.

[Perry Logan]

18. I think we're about on the same page on this. I take some encouragement from those ratings, though.

[depakid]

19. Will Obama supporters stop attacking Krugman

or anyone else who doesn't buy into what he's selling?

Just curious....
