Moore to Dems: Get on board or "we will work against you"

By Kenneth P. Vogel / Politico


Controversial liberal filmmaker Michael Moore on Tuesday issued a warning to Democrats who have been cool to President Barack Obama’s call for meaningful health care reform: Get on board or prepare to lose your seat.

“To the Democrats in Congress who don’t quite get it: I want to offer a personal pledge. I – and a lot of other people – have every intention of removing you from Congress in the next election if you stand in the way of health care legislation that the people want,” Moore told supporters of women’s groups and unions gathered at the headquarters of the government watchdog group Public Citizen. “That is not a hollow or idle threat. We will come to your district and we will work against you, first in the primary and, if we have to, in the general election.”

Democrats have started to take for granted the support of women, unions and low-income workers, according to Moore, who is promoting “Capitalism: A Love Story,” a documentary about the financial collapse due for wide release Friday.

“You think that we’re just going to go along with you because you’re Democrats? You should think again,” he told the Tuesday crowd in a speech that was carried to members of the media dialed into a conference call. “Because we’ll find Republicans who are smart enough to realize that the majority of Americans want universal healthcare. That’s right. That’s absolutely right. Don’t take this for granted.” ............(more)

[lsewpershad]

94. right on

and I'll be there to help.

[FiveGoodMen]

2. Here's hoping that someone really has the clout to get that done

[Luminous Animal]

4. I think he might need some help from 5 or 5,000,000 good men...

and women.

[tavalon]

31. I will volunteer, happily

Get on board or we will send you packing, blue dogs.

[Nederland]

65. Yeah

Because it worked sooooo well with Joe Lieberman.

[dmr]

71. I think we learned a lesson from what Lieberman thought was his entitlement

No more entitlements. None of those in DC are entitled to serve in Congress.

If we don't try, then it's shame on us.

[tabbycat31]

3. right on

[rvablue]

5. Sing it, Michael! n/t

[B Calm]

6. HELL YES!!!

[DireStrike]

7. Better an R than a DINO.

Yeah, I said it. Why waste time and effort electing someone who won't be there for the important issues? Not a penny should go to re-electing DINOs under any circumstances.

[ElsewheresDaughter]

59. wrong place...deleted

[hfojvt]

8. note to Michael Moore - please stay away from my district and state

As a communist/socialist/anti-capitalist all you can do is hurt the Democratic Party in blue districts.

I really doubt if you will sell any better in Boswell's district (where I donated some money to Ed Fallon who lost to him in a primary) or any other district. The DFA will be happy to accept your money, but keep your face and your name away from our candidates.

[SoCalNative]

9. This country needs more

communist/socialist/anti-capitalists and less spineless DINOs

[DatManFromNawlins]

17. Maybe that works in southern Cal

In many states, Michael Moore showing up will rally the base just long enough to get curbstomped by the Republican in blue dog districts. A true, blue liberal would get absolutely destroyed in Charlie Melancon's district, even if he had Obama's war chest funding his campaign.

[defendandprotect]

101. Rahm/DLC is out there hatching little "blue eggs" but we should fear to do the same re progressives?

[hfojvt]

27. well I think a DINO is better than an R

but even if you want to defeat a DINO like Boswell, it's probably better for that candidate to distance themself from Michael Moore.

[KelleyKramer]

37. Yep, a DINO is better at stopping a Dem healthcare bill...

A back-bench GOPer cant do squat compared to what a Blue Dog can do to try to kill the public option.

[tomm2thumbs]

42. touche! cancer works from the inside, indeed.

[TankLV]

47. A DINO is WORSE than a repuke - at least you know what you're up against with a TRUE repuke...

with a DINO, you get the APPEARANCE of a democrat, with the TRAITOROUS CRIMINIALITY of a repuke...

[Tesha]

80. DINOs make it appear as if Democrats stand for *NOTHING*.

They are the reason why people don't understand Democratic values and policies.
We'd do better politely disinviting them from our party so people could CLEARLY SEE
which part actually represents THEM and which party only represents fat-cat wealthy
folks.

Tesha

[defendandprotect]

104. DINO's are psychological warfare on Democratic Party -- so is DLC . . .

[defendandprotect]

103. Nonsense choice . . . we can find more liberal Democrats --

who will support a progressive agenda --

And, we need to begin to force the Repugs to the left --

reversing what's been going on --

[hfojvt]

109. no, it is an actual choice we face in many elections

as for the other, a report from a local legislator said that in the Kansas House the moderate Republicans formed a coalition with the Democrats and passed some compromise legislation. Even in Kansas, the far right does not always win.

[defendandprotect]

114. You're choosing "fear" decision making --

And MM and Wm. Greider and others are shining a light on a pathway to ensuring that the right wing "wins" even less often.

Perhaps there are "moderate" Repugs left in Kansas?

However, in the Senate there are few -- notice Obama's attempts at reaching across the aisle
and working for a bipartisan agreement on reforming health care.

no, it is an actual choice we face in many elections

And what the hell is this . . . ??

"Nixon understood the anger and frustration of working-class people, the humiliation of being looked down upon by elitist

You think that progressives are "elitists" . . . ?

And do you think the DLC and Blue Dogs are your saviors?

[hfojvt]

127. I don't really know what you are talking about

but I don't think Moore is helping now.

I never said anything about DLC and Blue Dogs being saviors. What I said is that they are better than Republicans.

Take Dennis Moore (please). He's a Blue Dog. When I first moved to Kansas I saw his ads on TV. "Damn Republicans" I said to myself. Then I found out he was the Democrat.

So let's imagine that he faces a primary challenge from the left. It is quite likely he would win that challenge handily. If Michael Moore comes to Kansas and campaigns for the challenger, then it is very likely that Dennis Moore would win even bigger. In any case, however bad Dennis Moore may be, he's much better than the other three Kansans in Congress.

As for my signature line, that comes from Somerby at the Daily Howler. He says that Republicans have two major talking points. The first one is that "Big Government never did anything right" and the second one is that "liberal elites think they are better than you." Experience at DU has shown that the second one is often true. We progressives love to insult the voters. They are ignorant, stupid, stubborn, hateful, insane, and bigoted. Then after we finish telling them that, we might add, but you should vote for our guy.

So my point in using that as a signature line is that we really need to change our sales pitch, if not our attitude.

Another thing that would help is if we didn't go carrying pictures of Chairman Mao. Which is unfortunately what MM did in his latest movie "Chairman Mao: a love story"

[Luminous Animal]

134. So. Mike carries pictures of Mao, does he?

By the way, I've seen Mike speak twice and each time he took liberal elites to task for their ignorance of the working classes.

[defendandprotect]

135. I think there's a book that might help you . . . . "What's The Matter With Kansas?"

If you're calling yourself a "progressive," you're really confused -- !!!

Meanwhile, we obviously need a few dozen more Michael Moore's --

and less of your nonsense --

[hfojvt]

136. awesome

insult an entire state and also declare yourself superior to me.

I love it when I am right.

Sort of.

[defendandprotect]

138. Book deals with rw propaganda which turns citizens against their own best interests ....

and was written by a Kansas native.

Most libraries have it --

Bye --


Using his home state of Kansas as the model and focal point, Frank asks rhetorically why it is that Kansans so willingly espouse right-wing social issues (creationism, defunding public schools, prayer in schools, pro-life) while simultaneously allowing their state to become economically devastated by Republican free market policies of unfettered, unregulated capitalism. In other words, why do Kansans (and many other Red Staters) vote consistently against their pocketbooks, against their own economic self-interest?

http://www.amazon.com/Whats-Matter-Kansas-Conservatives-America/product-reviews/080507774X/ref=dp_top_cm_cr_acr_txt?ie=UTF8&showViewpoints=1

[hfojvt]

139. Wow. It's amazing that a Kansas resident like me has never heard ot that

or not

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=209x366#636

My copy is autographed by the author, although he sorta scribbled all over it, and I gave him a copy of my LTTE (which is the above link) which was printed in the Kansas City Star.

Kansas native or not, that title is insulting to Kansas and often used, even on DU, to insult Kansans. Of course, it was copied from a 1920 article by the same name, written by another distant relative Allen White.

Bottom line is, I don't think his thesis is that strong, and selling it with an insult is not a good idea either. Maybe they vote against Democrats and liberals because they've been insulted by Democrats and liberals. Sure I am an idiot to not trust the guy who seems to have contempt for people like me. Especially since the 1990s when DLCers move to the right and try to blur the difference between Democrats and Republicans.

[defendandprotect]

140. And maybe we should all consider Naomi Wolf and Naomi Klein's books insults to our

national intelligence -- ???

:rofl:

Right wing propaganda is a too little discussed subject, even now --

It makes "up" down/"down" up and Kansas is only one state victimized by it.

[defendandprotect]

100. Agree -- and less DLC, especially in the White House -- !!

[obxhead]

113. Needs more???

Lets start with just 1.

[B Calm]

12. He's more than welcome to come to my district and state!

[hfojvt]

23. apparently you just want Democrats to lose

well, each to their own.

[Horse with no Name]

34. What exactly do we WIN with them?

Other than being saddled with an agenda that sinks like a turd in quicksand with their help.

[hfojvt]

52. we don't get as much as we hoped for

but we get Sotomayor instead of Roberts or Alito. We get a stimulus package that is not all tax cuts and some of the tax cuts goto poorer people. We get increased funding for SCHIP and increases in the minimum wage.

Okay, maybe it's only 1/3 of a glass of murky water, but the glass is not entirely empty.

Hey, a whole 4,000 troops are coming back from Iraq this month :hide:

[TankLV]

49. What have we WON with these ASSHOLE now? IT'S JUST THE SAME AS THE REPUKES!!!

[B Calm]

119. You lost me there! How in hell do we lose?

[Webster Green]

44. You forgot Nazi..

:eyes:

[Taverner]

102. Yeah...and kitten killer!

Seriously, calling someone a commie is something I'd expect on FR, but not here...

[TankLV]

45. You and your fellow REPUKES can go fuck yourselves! We need MORE socialists!!!

MM is what is RIGHT with this country.

YOU are an perfect example of what is WRONG...

[hfojvt]

54. if I was a repuke I would love to have him

it would sure make winning that much easier. I probably would pay for his plane ticket and hotel room.

[ElsewheresDaughter]

61. What's The Matter With Kansas?

[Dr Fate]

95. Make sure your reps support reform, then there is nothing to worry about. n/t

n/t

[kctim]

126. Same here

STAY AWAY.

[marew]

10. I'm in FL. When can we work against Bill Nelson?

I wrote him and called his office and said I will do all I can to see he is not reelected.

[csziggy]

16. Same here - last I heard he was supporting the public option

I wonder what changed his mind in the last 48 hours? We've got a few years to find someone to run against him. I wonder who we can get?

[tsuki]

21. I called his office and told them I KNEW that he KNEW that co-ops

did not work. Lawton gave us co-ops and Jebbles legislated them away. He KNOWS that.

[csziggy]

28. He's getting more money from the lobbyists than he is from voters

Or the Democratic Party. :shrug:

[lovelyrita]

32. I'm with you on getting him out of office.

I've written him countless times about health care and said that if he does not get with the program I am done with him.

[2Design]

41. he is awful and useless - and when he ran against Janet Reno to just ruin that

I was angry and I had not moved here yet -

[TankLV]

50. Hell - we need to work against people like hfojvt!!!

[ElsewheresDaughter]

63. I will come down there and help you....FL is my homestate and I have a large family there.

[wroberts189]

11. Keep turning up the pressure Mike. knr nt

[fascisthunter]

13. K&R(nt)

[tridim]

14. This threat will work. Nobody wants to be on Mike's bad side. R or D.

[gratuitous]

15. Mocking him is a lot of fun in the popular media

But watch what happens with politicians who know, or should know, the score when it comes to crossing Michael Moore and community organizers. I'm guessing there won't be a whole lot of laughing about "community organizers" and such nonsense.

[JimWis]

18. K&R

[JNelson6563]

19. Amen Michael!

Join forces with Howard Dean. That'd be great.

20. K&R

I'll proudly stand with Micheal Moore because I'm a DEMOCRAT.

[bigwillq]

22. That's what I am talking about!

:bounce:

[1776Forever]

24. Baucus & others who are not running next year take notice! I have an elephant long memory!

I swear I will NOT forget! You can bet on that one! No ONE owns me like Big Pharma owns you!

:applause: :banghead: :applause:

[LiberalAndProud]

26. "we’ll find Republicans who are smart enough"

Oh really? Where?

Not in my district, I think. We don't produce smart politicians around here, just sleazy ones.

[Douglas Carpenter]

29. it's sad that it has to come to this. But supporting an essentially private health care plan with a

meaningful public option - has got to be about the most lenient litmus test one could imagine.

[laughingliberal]

30. Go, Michael!!! nt

[Synnical]

33. Touche! I totally concur

And my so-called Senator in Fla - Nelson, well I will not be voting for him again!

-Cindy in Fort Lauderdale

[santamargarita]

35. I think these assholes live in a bubble

:argh:

[Auggie]

36. CA 1st, Napa Valley -- Mike Thompson, Mr. Moore.

Stop by and say hi -- I got some good Napa Valley Cab

[Le Taz Hot]

81. With grapes from Fresno . . .

(It's the dirty little secret about Napa/Sonoma wines that nobody wants to talk about -- they can't grow enough wine grapes so they come to the much-maligned San Joaquin Valley to supplement.)

:hide:

:hi:

LTH,
Frezburg

[Luminous Animal]

88. You cannot legally claim "Napa" or "Sonoma" on the label if the wine

does not contain 75% Napa or Sonoma grapes.

[Auggie]

93. Let's be clear not all wine producers do this. And I'd take issue that

"they can't grow enough grapes". There's plenty of grapes up here to go around.

Much-maligned San Joaquin Valley? It's not the locale, it's how the grapes are farmed and the care that goes into tending the vineyards. The Central Valley can produce good wine.

What's the big deal anyhow? What's wrong with a little blending? It makes the wine more complex.

[Le Taz Hot]

97. Oh, lighten up you guys.

It was just a little intra-state jab -- thus the emoticons.

[Auggie]

106. Sure. But other people read this and could get the wrong impression

about California wine. I depend on it -- specifically Napa Valley wine -- for part of my livelihood. And I'll defend it's rightful place as one of the greatest winegrowing and winemaking regions in the world.

[Le Taz Hot]

121. Well, so much for a sense of humor.

Why would people get the wrong impression about California wine? Whether the grapes are from Napa/Sonoma or Fresno County, it's all California wine, no? Perhaps you can take some of the profits you make off your wine and invest a dollar or two in a sense of humor. :eyes: I'm bored now. <flush>

[harvey007]

38. Sign me up for Michael Moore's Army

It's time to eliminate the self-serving spineless scumbag politicians who betray the American people.

Those who stand in the way of health care reform are going to get their asses kicked!

This is war, baby.

:nuke: :nuke:

[2Design]

39. count me in n/t

40. Exactly my point in my thread - where is the outrage - where are the 60's

people protesting the wrong headness

82. We're still here, babe.

But we're getting TIRED!!!!! Any subsequent generations that want to pick up the torch, step right on up! Don't be shy! (or apathetic or lazy or distracted by things like shiny new iPods . . .)

[KelleyKramer]

43. I live in a Blue Dog district, where do I sign up!!

I used to buy into, at least a little bit, the arguement 'well its better than having some RW nutjob representing us'

Well, now its clear, I wish we had some back bench Republican rather than this asshole, sold out Blue Dog trying to kill the Dems bills.

k n r!

[Swamp Rat]

46. Yeah you rite!

:mad:

[Blacksheep214]

48. We really need a true Independent Party.

Voting out the garbage works best when there is a viable option to vote for.

[groosemoose]

62. Let's call it the Opposition Party

Its platform? Vote Out All Incumbents and Relatives and Other Lobbyist-Owned Sheep

[Canuckistanian]

51. May FSM touch him with his noodly appendage

Bless MM.

[MissDeeds]

53. Glad to give the 100th rec

Count me in. I'll gladly go to their districts and work against them, or send money to their opponents. The era of DINOs and 'Democrat lite' has to end. We need real, honest to God Democrats in office. No wonder the rethugs have a strangle hold on this country.

[WatchWhatISay]

55. I'll send money

for thier primary challengers. I swear I will.

[Vidar]

56. Bravo Michael!

[ElsewheresDaughter]

57. YES, I WILL BE THEREWORKING WITH YOU, MR MOORE...YES WE WILL!

[JVS]

58. They'll come into our town, they'll help us party down

[groosemoose]

60. Pledge of the Under-Insured American

I stole this from elsewhere, but agree whole-heartedly. :-)

"Now that the possibility of real competition in health care has been shot down, I, an under-insured American, pledge the following:

The next time I catch a communicable illness (like Swine Flu), instead of going to a hospital I can't afford due to shoddy insurance, I will go instead on a tour of the Senate office buildings in D.C.

On the way to the regular elevators, my germ-laden hand will fondly touch that button for the Members-only elevator that Congressmen use to go to votes. I will share my disease-ridden wealth with those who choose to represent lobbyists and CEOs rather than the people who voted them into office."

[Liquorice]

64. I've been thinking about this tactic since I heard Michael Moore say it. I can't help but

be glad that the democrats who don't support health care reform will be "punished." But on the other hand, these democrats probably don't support health care because their districts are right-leaning. We probably can't replace these democrats with progressives, so we will end up with more republicans.

So instead of threatening these democrats, maybe it's better if Obama, Biden, etc., to go to these districts and give the people there a lot of attention and information about what health care reform means for THEM. Get them to support it by educating them, in other words.

Those are just my thoughts on it, but I am furious with democrats who aren't supporting health care reform, and I totally understand wanting to throw them out of the party altogether. Still, threatening the blue dogs is not going to get health care reform passed.

[Raine]

73. I agree

I know that even though I'm in CA this is a very conservative district and my rep (a Democrat) has to be very careful. I think that there must be a better way of dealing with blue dogs than threatening them.

[JordanSmith73]

66. Interesting

[Douglas Carpenter]

67. another kick

69. If he shows up in the third district of Nebraska, I will faint.

I'll go get his autograph first though. :-)

[bridgit]

70. Michael comes too short: we will *defeat* them, time for Blue Dogs to start packing they're done ~

[kentuck]

72. I'm with Michael on this one.

It's not enough to just call yourself a "Democrat". You must stand for something or we will not support you. In fact, we will work against you.

[The Wizard]

74. It might be more effective

to target the biggest offenders and bribe recipients, and concentrate on eliminating them first to send a powerful message that if they choose to represent big business instead of the votedrs there is a price to be paid.
The lying weasel Max (can only pass a bill with 60 votes) Baucus tops the list.
When senators representing a few small states can shut down the will of the people the senators from those small states must be challenged by throwing money at anyone who runs agaist them.
The Internet changed everything, and some people haven't figured out that we're in the 21st Century.
Baucus and his ilk are poison to the Democratic Party. The public option is the compromise position. If they can't do that then they should never walk the halls of Congress again.

[Norrin Radd]

76. k & r

[NorthCarolina]

77. I applaud MM's effort, but why just Blue Dogs?

What about DLC members? They don't seem any less Republican than their Blue Dog counterparts in the Senate? I am all for any effort at pushing corporate conservatism out of the Democratic Party, but that conservative tumor doesn't begin and end with the "Blue Dogs". In addition to returning the Democratic Party to it's more populist roots, I believe that two additional measures are needed to help return Government to the people, those measures being:

(1) Term Limits, and
(2) Campaign Finance Reform

[Echo In Light]

79. +1

[Dr Fate]

96. There is a difference b/t Blue Dogs & DLCers? n/t

n/t

[Vinca]

78. This is what I don't get about Blue Dogs in red states.

Even if the state is considered Republican, they need Democratic votes to win an election. Why do they think kissing right wing behinds is going to get them Democratic votes? Maybe they will lose as a result of voting either way, but it would be more noble to go down voting with the party you supposedly represent.

[disndat]

83. The shameful 5 DINOs

On The Bill Press Show this morning - the five Senators who voted again Rockefeller public option amendment:
Baucas (D MT), Carper (D DE). Conrad (D ND), Lincoln (D AR), Nelson (D FL).

[Dinger]

84. K & R X Infinity (nt)

[Katana]

85. I also posted this in another thread, but....

YOU DON'T GET IT!


What happens in 6 months when people are sent to prison because they can't afford the extra 1000 dollars per month for an acceptable insurance policy? People on both the right and left will threaten revolution if that doesn't change immediately. And, just as Medicare and Social Security, are never scrapped but just constantly "updated", this plan will be updated with a 'public option' which will evolve into a true single-payer plan within 5 years......For gosh sakes be a little patient. Our president campaigned on a single-payer system and he will deliver, but like he said, we will have to do it in stages. This has been the plan all along. Our socialism will come eventually. It is inevitable.

[euphoria12leo]

86. Vote Republican is this for real Michael Moore

I received an email from Charles Chamberlain, Political Director, Democracy for America and others today. I'm answering all request for money with a big "No." The DSCC can forget about any more money from me. Having said that, I will not vote for a Republican, period. Democrats are taking us for granted but where do you expect to find a Republican that supports HCR? I will send money and support for other Democrats running against the asses that voted against the Public Option but I will never ever vote for a Republican.


:banghead: :dilemma: :mad:

[ScreamingMeemie]

92. That is not what he is saying. Remember Democratic Primaries???

That is what he is saying. Sheesh. A lot of people could use a government class or two here.

[euphoria12leo]

98. What does find a smart Republican mean

I do remember the Democratic Primaries thank you very much. Maybe I do need to take a class in Political Science. I don't claim to know all. But in the mean time, you're smart so you help me get a better understanding of Politics. I'll be willing to listen in the middle of my cancer treatments to all that I do not understand. I have forgotten alot too. Oh, and I have to correct my spelling alot maybe you can bring that to my attention when I misspell a word. I would use spell check but I forget. Sheesh, maybe I just have a different interpretation of what was said.


:hi:

[ScreamingMeemie]

108. As I might be able to tell you after I come home from my rheumatologist.

:hi:

As one who is waiting to be rejected by yet another insurance company while trying to insure my pre-existing condition and my son, I stand with Michael Moore. My money goes towards Progressive Democratic candidates who will oust the Dinos. We need to show them that a D is not a sure vote.

[colsohlibgal]

87. Be Part Of the Solution Or Be Gone!

The hell with these Blue Dogs, if they want to go all republican on us we'll replace them with a real democrat. Not only are they irritating, I resent their camouflage.

I'm with you Michael, let's rock and roll!

[aquart]

89. Let them fear the left, not the right.

Murderous, greedy bastards.

[Downtown Hound]

91. That's ultimtely what has to happen. n/t

[David Zephyr]

90. Proud to stand with Michael here. This is the message all Blue Dogs need to hear.

Primaries. Yes. K&R.

[defendandprotect]

99. I'd be very happy to contribute to the decline of the DLC and the Blue Dogs . ..

and to help work to oust them from the Democratic Party --

We have to end campaign finance BRIBERY --

Baucus should never have been permitted to head the health care hearings -

[defendandprotect]

105. This should have been happening long time ago -- Wm. Greider is saying same thing - !!!

As other Democrats are -- !!

[BlueIdaho]

107. My very own blue dog - Walt Minnick...

I was giddy when a Democrat was elected to the Congress from blood red Idaho. I had real hope that through him, my voice may be heard. Since then this blue dog piece of shit has voted with the republicans on every important piece of legislation. He is NO democrat - he is a wolf is sheep's clothing. I have told him what I am now telling you. I will actively work against him for the next election. I will do whatever it takes to get him out of office - period. If a republican ends up taking the seat, frankly I don't care - he votes like a republican anyway. If he wants to continue serving - let him try to survive a republican primary to get the honor of serving "his" constituents.

[mzteris]

110. we need to contact them all

and let them know that it's not just their constituents they have to worry about. That people around the country will WORK and CONTRIBUTE to their removal from office!!

[timo]

111. HA

I bet Michael Moore wouldnt last 5 minutes down here on the border against henry cuellar, the locals would eat him for lunch, they worship at the altar of cuellar!!!

[Dr Fate]

112. Dont confuse Moore with Blue Dogs- Moore never caves & he keeps fighting.

The Far right, be thay far right DEMS or far right republicans, have yet to get the best of him.

[timo]

129. moore couldnt cut the mustard

Moore is a gringo, and down here on the border that shit dont cut it he wouldnt get anywhere here with the local democrat machine.

131. As I said, dont confuse Moore with your Eunuch Blue Dogs. Moore follows through.

And what "shit" from "Gringo" Moore are you talking about?

Are you saying that Blue Dogs can get elected as DEMS without progressive support? LOL! Good luck.

116. That's the only language that these folks understand

If they want to promote unpopular right wing policies against the public interest- then join the Republican party or else lose your seat.

120. "Inconvenient Truths about the New Democrats, the Third Way, Democratic Leadership Council, etc."

My opinions haven't changed much since starting the thread below March 7, 2008-and the truth is the truth--how can someone like Will Marshall be considered a Democrat????
How can a Democrat care more about "the rights" of a corporation rather than a human being?

125. My campaign contributions will follow Michael.

I can't be in every state to know who is shit and who isn't. But I have decided that if Moore supports them, I will trust them.
