A few days ago, the left-wing activist group MoveOn.org began sending out emails seeking contributions to fund primary challenges against any Democratic senator who does not fully support "health care reform with a public option."

The “moderates” from both parties should form their own party.
With the Liberal Democrats working harder than ever before to get the blue dogs out, and the conservative Republicans working harder than ever to get the RINO’s out, I think its safe to say that Obama is the most polarizing President in American History.
The Moderate Party, “We believe whatever you want us to”
“Moderate” has no meaning as far as I am comcerned, particularly as applied to Republicans. Have you ever heard any Republican referred to as a liberal? Many so-called moderate Republicans are are just this side of being radical liberals or socialists.
I lost any respect I ever had for Newt Gingrich after his performance in the NY 23rd election. Gingrich played all the language tricks that Alinsky liberals employ and played average people for fools.

SEPTEMBER 22, 1998 : (MOVEON.ORG IS LAUNCHED BY WESLEY BOYD & HIS WIFE JOAN BLADES —see SHADOW PARTY’S ‘SEVEN SISTERS’) MoveOn.org
Launched September 22, 1998
...High-tech entrepreneur Wesley Boyd and his wife Joan Blades created MoveOn. Their software company Berkeley Systems Inc. of Berkeley, California made a fortune in the early ‘90s with its “After Dark” screensaver, featuring the famous animated “flying toasters.” When the screensaver market peaked in 1994, Berkeley Systems rolled out a successful line of CD-ROM computer games.[3] Company sales had reached $30 million annually by the time Boyd sold Berkeley Systems in 1997 for $13.8 million.[4]
Idle, wealthy and still full of fight, Boyd and Blades sought new challenges. Angered by the Clinton impeachment, the couple wrote a one-sentence petition and e-mailed it to friends, who then e-mailed it to others in chain-letter fashion. It said, “Censure the president and move on to pressing issues facing the nation.” At the same time, Boyd and Blades launched a Web site enabling people to sign their petition electronically. To their astonishment, 100,000 supporters registered in the first week.
Boyd and Blades realized they were onto something. They launched MoveOn.org on September 22, 1998. One month later, on October 23, they rolled out MoveOn PAC, a federal political action committee designed to siphon political contributions from MoveOn’s fast-growing membership. -———— ?”The Shadow Party: Part II,” Front Page Magazine.com ^ | October 7, 2004 | David Horowitz and Richard Poe?
OCTOBER 7, 2004 : (MOVEON) Today, MoveOn boasts an e-mail list of more than 2.2 million members in the USA and over 800,000 abroad.[5] The lean-and-mean operation rents no office space. Its ten full-time staffers work from home, staying in touch via e-mail, instant messaging and weekly conference calls.[6] ---------- ?"The Shadow Party: Part II," Front Page Magazine.com ^ | October 7, 2004 | David Horowitz and Richard Poe?
SEPTEMBER 17, 2003 or later : (SOROS & SON, PETER LEWIS, PETER BING {see MAFIA} & LEWIS CULLMAN POUR MONEY INTO MOVEON — See SHADOW PARTY, PROGRESSIVE INSURANCE CO.) In the meantime, George Soros had incorporated MoveOn into his Shadow Party. Following the September 17, 2003 meeting between Soros and Boyd mentioned in Part 1, Soros and his associates poured nearly $6.2 million into MoveOn over a period of six months, according to the Center for Public Integrity. The contributions include $2.5 million from George Soros personally; $2.5 million from Peter B. Lewis of Progressive Insurance; $971,427 from Peter Bing of Shangri-La Entertainment; $100,000 from Benson & Hedges tobacco heir Lewis Cullman; and $101,000 from Soros’ 34-year-old son Jonathan T.

1994 : (TX : SMEAR CAMPAIGN ON W BUSH’S NATIONAL GUARD SERVICE — See GLENN SMITH, ANN RICHARDS— SEE TEXAS VETERANS FOR TRUTH {see MOVEON, TANG }) [See Glenn Smith,Texas Veterans for Truth, John Kerry, John Edwards, Ann Richards; VERSES SWIFTVETS]
*****
Have you noticed that no one has mentioned the most obvious suspect? The one whose involvement must be kept secret at all costs? The 527 which was specifically set up and funded by MoveOn ($400,00) for the purpose of countering the SwiftVets by attacking Bush’s National Guard service? Doesn’t it seem improbable that they would not have any role in this?
Add to that the fact that their founder was the original person to attack Bush’s Guard service in 1994? That prior to 1994 he had access to National Guard files via his boss Ann Richards? That as campaign manager for their last gubernatorial candidate and head of the largest Dem organization in Texas that every Democrat operative knows him well.
Tie Glenn Smith and Texas Veterans For Truth into the story and you get unlawful coordination.

DECEMBER 2003 : (JONATHAN SOROS & THE INFAMOUS MOVEON BUSH=HITLER AD) Jonathan Soros has become personally involved with MoveOn.org’s activities. In December 2003, he collaborated with techno-rocker Moby to organize “Bush in 30 Seconds,” an online contest for the best 30-second anti-Bush TV ad. MoveOn agreed to air the winning commercial on national television. Among the 1,500-odd submissions to the contest were two ads juxtaposing footage of George W. Bush and Adolf Hitler. MoveOn posted these ads on its site. Under pressure from Jewish groups and Republicans, MoveOn pulled the Hitler ads and apologized for them. [10]
Despite such gaffes, MoveOn need not worry about its media image. Major networks and newspapers pour forth an endless flood of free publicity for the group. Calculated in terms of equivalent advertising fees, the millions MoveOn raises in political contributions doubtless pales in value beside the worshipful profiles and saccharine coverage which major media never tire of bestowing upon [Wesley] Boyd and [his wife Joan] Blades’ Web site and political campaigns....-—————The Shadow Party: Part II

I think that is what is happening. Both party extremes are for big government and total government control. The moderates, as you call them, are going independent. I think they are the base of the tea party movement. It’s big government against the people.
Why screw around with calling themselves a moderate party. They should just cut to the chase and call themselves the ankle grabbers.
Unemployment rises to 10.2 percent; black unemployment rises to 15.7 percent
Staff Reporter | Posted November 6, 2009 8:37 AM
The unemployment rate in October soared to 10.2 percent while black unemployment rose to 15.7 percent, the Labor Department reported on Friday.
The overall unemployment rate was the highest rate in 26 years, but the numbers do not reflect the millions of Americans who have stopped looking for work and are no longer counted as unemployed. The last time the official unemployment rate was at 10 percent or higher was in April 1983.
While GDP statistics indicate the country is no longer in recesssion, the U.S. economy shed 190,000 jobs in October, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. The largest job losses over the month were in construction, manufacturing, and retail trade.
The unemployment rate for teenagers was also high at 27.6 percent.
The news comes as President Obama and Congress struggle to pass a major health care reform bill and just days after closely watched elections in New York, New Jersey and Virginia on Tuesday.
IMO, the tea parties are about keeping big government, right or left, from treading on the people. Contrary to popular belief, the founders did not like tyrants of either the right or left persuasion. The goal was freedom.
You’ve aparently got a real twisted idea of what moderate means.
Since you moderates are such a vast majority, maybe you should stop asking for our votes and teach us a lesson by forming your own party.
These ideas are not what the country was founded on. Many came here to escape "right wing" oppression as in, one country thought their religion should rule and all the others should be eliminated or oppressed.
It's fascism whether it comes from the right or the left. Right now, it's all coming from the left. You try to instill a theocracy in America and I will be just as against you as I am the commie regressives. That's not called being a moderate, that's called protecting freedom.
LOL moron.
Congratulations, you would fit in very well with the left who want to eliminate individual, state and national sovereignty.
Go lay down boy, you anot honest enought to deal with. Just like every other cowardly moderate.
The concept is wrong, all wrong. It's the responsibly of working people to improve their
own lives. But then we're not dealing with people who understand the concept of America.
The thing that bothers me is that our state’s newest republican senator stands somewhere to the right of Nancy Pelosi and somewhere to the left of Olympia Snowe.
This is what happens when people blindly vote for a party. We now have a pro green economy, pro union, pro socialized medicine “republican” state senator. Fortunately its only for a year.
2010 will be a war to uphold the Constitution. The one year constitutional war.
I think educating people will be the most important thing. Its especially true in state and local races because those are the ones people pay the least attention to.
KNOW YOUR CANDIDATES.
Good luck with Reid.
