1. The party HAD an attack team in place - unfortunately they seem to only

be put into circulation every 8 years now.

Funny - all that time I was sending support and dollars I thought I was building a team that worked for the entire party and its issues and its candidates. In fact, I expected that team to show up and counter and oppose Bush on every serious matter since 2001.

They went to sleep. Into hibernation mode. I wasn't expecting that. Now it's clear as a bell.

3. Please don't use the wingnut 'democrat party' meme.
It's DemocratIC and if they don't like it they can go piss up a rope.

4. "Democrat party" is a pejorative GOP term just like "liberal" and "MoveOn."
Edited on Fri Sep-14-07 05:04 PM by CottonBear
We Democrats, liberals and progressives need to reclaim these words and their true meanings.

I think that MoveOn is doing a good job. I don;t have to agree with every ad they put out or position that they take.

I'm not even a MoveOn member. Heck, I might join though!

7. Absolutely Not!
It has an essence of " Martin Luther King" style. Let's not panic when the reaction of the neocons gets mean.....hell, they are mean anyways.

9. Because "they" want to change the dynamics of the debate
"they" want to make it about moveon.org and not about the FACT
that Gen. Petraeous helped to lie to case the for the war.

Just like bush going AWOL became Dan Rather had phony documents

or John Kerry was a war hero became Did he really hurt himself to get
out of service

Google "Creative Response Concepts" dimes to doughnuts they are
behind this phony outrage.

10. If it wasn't MoveOn, it would be labor unions, and if not labor unions, it was be feminazis, and if
not feminazis, it would be personal injury lawyers, and if not personal injury lawyers, it would be Hollywood liberals, and if not Hollywood liberals, it would be the ACLU ...

The Reptilicans are a big, dumb hammer and they see everything that isn't also a dumb hammer as just another nail. If they weren't demonizing MoveOn, they'd be demonizing someone else who wants to make the world a better place.

13. does any REASONABLE democratic party person, liberal, progressive
or what ever honestly believe that if it wasn't moveon it would be some thing else ridiculous that would fall out of the republick party clap trap?

that's the point -- the republick wants to lay outrageous bullshit out there -- misdirect.

well you know what -- moveon beat them to the punch -- and it contained real content to boot.

so now we really do have to talk about petraeus relationship to the bush admin -- and that's the real point.
