I really, really hope that the Deaniacs and his Internaet thugs (That would be MoveOn.org.) split from the Dems. They can put George Sorros as their campaign manager and run Michael Moore as their v.p. with Screamy Deany.
They can then start their own RossPerotParty and, by their own volition, defeat "Hit Rock Botton with Hillary Rodham" Clinton in 2008.
Easy ride for Rudy and Condi.
I thought Soros pledged about $15 million to move on.

Americans Coming Together was Soros' biggest recipient ($20 million). MoveOn received $2.2 million from Soros (still not chump change), as well as sizable gifts from other corporate entities less than $2 million.
From August 2003 thru August 2004, Democrat 527's $75 million of 'Grassroots Donations':
George and Susan W. Soros $24,170,000.00
Peter B. Lewis $23,147,220.00
Stephen L. Bing $15,382,555.00
Jane Fonda $13,085,750.00
He might have given them some money, but the bulk of his money went to ACT
I thought Soros pledged about $15 million to move on.
That's the "some money" Rush was talking about.
I know that Jane Fonda's contribution really rivals what I gave to the Swifties...now THERE'S a grassroots movement!
A British company faxed a page asking recipients to VOTE on their approval of George W. Bush as president. All you had to do was mark yes or no and fax it back.....in fine print was the notice that you would be charged $3.95 a minute for the call, a small price to pay to be heard. Liberals are such slime.
Is anyone here on their email list? I would love to have a copy of that email forwarded to me. comet@ircpolitics.org
Where's John McCain when you need him??? /sarc

Oh yeah. THIS story is going to have real legs.
Remember in Trading Places, Eddie Murphy's character is chased into the fancy men's club and arrested...He calls out "Is there a lawyer in the house?"
They all shuffle their feet and look the other way. That is just what the MSM will do with this.
Well, at least we can't say the MSM isn't consistent... (groan)
Hehe, THAT'S no lie!
BTTT!
Rush points out that the loonies have no history before 1960; that their philosophy is anti-American at its heart. I believe this to be true: the American far-left is anti-American and hates America as it was and as it is. It denies our history. It hates it.
Rush's points reveal, I think, the loony left's foundation in dialectic materialism (DM), the philosophical basis of Marxism. Strict adherents of DM in the past actually believed that all sciences had to conform to the truths and laws of DM, since DM is, they assert, the foundational truth of all reality. Soviet science had to meet the approval of the political power, the Communist Central Committee. The worst example of this was Lysenkoism, which preached that there was no competition for survival within a species. Darwinism, Lysenko taught, was a bourgeois lie. The result was decades of Soviet crop failures: hardy hybrid wheat that could grow in the short Russian summers was never developed by Soviet agriculture, since Soviet biology had to conform to the laughable principles of Lysenkoism. The USSR ended up buying wheat from the United States to feed its citizens!
So strong was the desire to affirm the truths of DM through its application to other sciences that scientists who criticized Lysenkoism were arrested and executed as puppets or agents of bourgeois political powers (Great Britain and the U.S., primarily)! The Politburo took its philosophy very seriously, and its main members were uneducated thugs (e.g. Stalin). The harm done to science in the USSR by DM "truths" still echoes today.
DM dictates that motion in matter generates contradictions that foment changes in matter. Since humans are nothing more than matter in motion, anyone who can recognize the patterns of contradiction in human relations can ride the crest of the forces and aid the ferment of conflict that will generate change. A brilliant mind can lead contradiction and conflict into new order. This is important to remember: DM adherents believe that DM pseudoscience is perceivable only by brilliant minds developed and graced by the unconscious universe of matter in motion with superior intelligence! One need not be educated if one is sufficiently brilliant, naturally, and those who disagree with you simply lack the intelligence to perceive the inevitability of the historical forces of DM.
Think of this the next time a windbag like Cher opines stupidly about something she knows nothing about: she can consider herself brilliant as long as she conforms to DM principles generated by the left; to be able to perceive DM truths are evidence of superior intelligence!
Since the primary and fundamental human relationship is economic in nature, contradictions in human relations in the economic sphere result in class warfare, and the leaders of that conflict can use the conflict, if they are sufficiently brilliant, to create a new and universally beneficial order.
The loony left embraces, I think, all of this, and believes that radical leadership will capture the wave of history. So seductive is the idea that one can manipulate forces that others cannot perceive, that the failures of applied DM - Communism and Socialism - are ignored as artifacts of the allegedly historical forces pushing the world towards inevitable class warfare.
The beauty of all of this is that leftists explicitly and implicitly embrace internal contradictions in their political philosophies. DM demands contradiction as a component of positive change. Therefore, focus escapes the left almost as it can grasp it, and proper solutions escape them since problems can never be truly identified. Leftist governments cannot survive without total control of ideas, since that reveals the contradictions that doom them. But they are doomed, nevertheless, ultimately.
