Blogs Attack From Left as Democrats Reach for Center
By Jim VandeHei Washington Post Staff Writer Saturday, January 28, 2006; A06
Democrats are getting an early glimpse of an intraparty rift that could complicate efforts to win back the White House: fiery liberals raising their voices on Web sites and in interest groups vs. elected officials trying to appeal to a much broader audience.
These activists -- spearheaded by battle-ready bloggers and making their influence felt through relentless e-mail campaigns -- have denounced what they regard as a flaccid Democratic response to the Supreme Court fight, President Bush's upcoming State of the Union address and the Iraq war. In every case, they have portrayed party leaders as gutless sellouts.

Judging from the results of the media's efforts to create and support a liberal internet presence, they did us a favor by hiding us.
"Now they have a cheaper option - a one-way ticket to Oregon."
'Except that Oregon passed a referendum banning gay marriage.
And Canada went conservative.
Which leaves Ithaca, Boulder and Berkeley.
So many liberals, so few utopias.'
BUT, Oregon has the supreme liberty. If the libs are just so saddened and sooo bummed out with GWB at the helm, it's legal in Oregon to just stick one's head in the gas oven and wave ta-ta.
Let's go Todo, Click, click....OOOoohhh I wish I was in Kansas, I wish I was in Kansa.....
"Bush has no need for numbers any longer - he is not re-electable. "
Ya think?
I just want his numbers to go up to P$(* the libnuts. I could care less about them for any other reason.
