Liberals hit 'loser' Dems

WASHINGTON - The liberal group MoveOn.org threw down a challenge to the Democratic Party yesterday, saying it should stop cuddling up to corporate America and shun "professional election losers."

In a stinging rebuke to departing Democratic National Committee boss Terry McAuliffe, the group called on Democrats to pick a Washington outsider to take over leadership of the party.

"In the last year, grass-roots contributors like us gave more than $300 million to the Kerry campaign and the DNC, and proved that the party doesn't need corporate cash," said MoveOn PAC Political Director Eli Pariser in an E-mail message.

"Now it's our party: we bought it, we own it and we're going to take it back."

The message particularly hit McAuliffe, a Clinton-era holdover known for his fund-raising prowess.

"For years, the party has been led by elite Washington insiders who are closer to corporate lobbyists than they are to the Democratic base. But we can't afford four more years of leadership by a consulting class of professional election losers."

"I suppose some people could say it's disappointing to break every fund-raising record, out-raise the Republicans and do so through primarily grass-roots fund-raising - but I can't imagine many would agree," said DNC spokesman Jano Cabrera.

Senior party officials suggested MoveOn is out of touch with the Democrats' move to the center. "When you take the long view, they didn't help the Kerry campaign with their shrill message," said one top Democrat.

We are starting to see the classic rat fights for survival when there are too many of them in a shrinking environment.

Move On is probably another creation by the all Evil Karl Rove. America is moving back to the middle and right re politics. Ameriac is leaving the Racist DOOM & GLOOM Boomers on the far left fringe of society. We have the Move Oners pushing harder to the left in their loud/shrill and repulsive manner.

Please Lord let the Move Oners seize control of the Rat Party and replace McAwful with Howard the Insane.

Uh, almost all of that money came from super rich Holloywood types and moguls like George Soros.

The democrat party is in real trouble. They did not learn a damn thing from the last 2 elections. Serves em right.

So who is Soros? These 'MoveOners' better figure out who runs the DNC and get their sorry little behinds in line or they will go the way of Dean.

The Clintons are in charge of everything DNC, left, middle and center. Not very bright bulbs shaking the liberal tree.

How soon they forget. Soros, Moore and Kerry were bigtime losers for the Dims.
