MoveOn Hits $1 Million Mark In Anti-Lieberman Campaign

In less than two days time, the progressive action group MoveOn.org has raised more than $1 million for its campaign against Sen. Joseph Lieberman (I-Conn.).

The five-million-member group launched a fundraising drive on Tuesday after the Connecticut independent successfully killed key provisions from the Senate's health care reform legislation.

The goal was set, initially, for $400,000. By 1:22 p.m. on Thursday they were past the $1 million mark and climbing. The money will go to an ad campaign against Lieberman and into a fund to oppose his re-election in 2012.

The massive and quick response to the plea reflects just how much progressive frustration there is about the man who, eight years ago, was the Democratic vice presidential nominee.

Additionally, on Thursday, MoveOn.org put out a comic web ad using sock puppets to mock Lieberman as a spotlight-seeking political diva -- and his colleagues in the Democratic caucus as spineless enablers of his behavior.

In other news: MoveOn campaigns against the Dem's "big tent." :)

He ain't a Dem. He was defeated in a primary, was not elected as a Dem, and he campaigned for the other party's presidential nominee. He ain't in the tent. He's outside pissing in.


ps - he has 'not ruled out running as republican' next time he stands for election. I will enjoy watching how the party of purity tests treats ole Joe in a primary race, and a general election :mrgreen:

And yet he caucuses with the Democrats.
 
The only thing this will cause, is everyone from the Center, rightward, to donate their asses off to Lieberman.

Me? I have seen the enemy and he is Liberalism.
 
Liberals demand 100% compliance with the "Party". That's why 9 years after being their VP Nominee, the left has turned on Joe.

That's funny. Why do Republicans accuse others of what they themselves do? Have you not seen the RNC Republican purity test?

I don't know about Nazis ... however, it is the RNC that has devised a 10-pt purity test (which even Reagan would not pass), in order to determine who they will support.

And yet .... he's not a Democrat :2wave:

I truly hope he runs as a Republican. I will absolutely enjoy that election. :nails:

Which the motion failed...did it not?

I have no idea. I do know they proposed it, thought about it, typed it up, and put it out there in the news.


A frigging purity test.

:rofl

no no, someone typed it up and proposed it, they...the greater "they"...rejected it.

That someone is employed by the RNC. And that someone, or another one, released it to the news media. There's your party of conformity. It ain't the Dems. It's never been the Dems.

Claiming the Dems are not tolerant of differences of opinion is funny. Which two people on this thread have done. Dems have NEVER been an organized bunch. And they've NEVER marched in lockstep.

:cool:
 
Sans the free speech argument, I feel that no monies should be allowed from outside the State unless the party donating has an interest in that specific state.

I find it wrong and deplorable that others with no interest in who is elected in the State are allowed to donate to influence who is.

So wait, because one person in the RNC is crazy, that means everyone there is crazy?

You really think there isn't a single crazy person in the DNC?

Well the economy couldn't that ****ing bad if the left can come up with $1M to go against a liberal.

Meh...look at his voting record. He is a liberal democrat that votes his conscience. Pretty rare.

Should make it wicked interesting when/if he runs in a GOP primary! He was already beaten in a Dem primary. And he would be beaten again, if he ran in a new Dem primary.
 
And yet .... he's not a Democrat :2wave:

I truly hope he runs as a Republican. I will absolutely enjoy that election. :nails:

Be careful what you ask for. The Republicans voters elected him as an Independent. They might be dumb enough again to do so as a Republican.

Yeah a man who can't get elected by his own party so he runs on another ticket has s conscence? Than that's some :spin:

He's hardly liberal. He's too hawkish to be liberal.
