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."

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

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.
