While most Democrats are crying in post-election beer, the folks at MoveOn.org have taken a different tack.
In the wake of blowing their chance to oust President Bush from the White House - and in the process blowing through tens of millions of George Soros' dollars - MoveOn has declared victory.
It may not be as exciting as winning the White House and cementing a lock on both houses of Congress, but the left-wing pressure group claims to have had "a real impact." After a lobbying campaign by MoveOn, for instance, the Senate has "repudiated torture."
"On June 16th," the group boasts, "the Senate approved an amendment offered by Senator Richard Durbin (D-IL), requiring Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld to issue guidelines to keep US treatment of prisoners in line with our commitments under this bedrock international law."
We can only imagine how many senators stood foursquare behind torture before MoveOn's intervention.
Another great victory: California will now use paper ballots.
"Beginning in 2006," the MoveOn web site boasts, "California voters will be able to verify our votes on secure paper ballots that can be counted, and re-counted if necessary."
Wouldn't want to miss the chance to rerun the Florida fiasco in the Golden State.
Here's another spectacular MoveOn achievement:
"Thanks in part to hundreds of our phone calls to our Representatives, the House voted to save 300,000 acres of old growth forest from clearcutting. If the Senate follows suit, the trees will live."
We're sure Mr. Soros is delighted that his millions were so well spent.
Buahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha bump
or
Muhahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha bomp
What will they do if those paper ballots in California confirm a Republican sweep in the next election?
lol..they just dont give up do they..
Those people at MoveOn got some problems.
These fools couldn't find a clue with advanced clue-detection gear on a clue factory floor running triple shifts.
Here's what the folks at MoveOn are happy about: Over the last 4 years they have (most likely) paid themselves REALLY WELL with all the Soros and Celeb dollars. They are set for life now! Thanks W!

Here's to more MoveOn victories!
Pray for W and Our Troops
LOL Oh yeah I had forgotten the Senate used to be pro-torture.
Ok, no more panties on heads. Darn, it'll take me years to get over this.
These people cannot figure it out
"...and re-counted if necessary."
