#1 Why, yes - that's a great idea!

Why not ask Soros today for a few more ~~billions~~ millions to set this clever plan in motion? :-D

#2 Go for the billions, Barb...money should be no object when you're talking about party purity!

#3 "Our top goal is ending right-wing Republican control of Congress but to make progress on core issues we think MoveOn should challenge right-wing Democrats in primary elections. What do you think?"

I think you're certifiably insane, every bit as much as the droolers, dribblers, munchers, shufflers and head-bangers locked up in Bellevue.

But what the fuck: go for it, dudes, you're on a roll. You've already driven most of the sane folk out of the Democratic Party, so why not evict the rest? Have a ball.

#4 Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, and yes.

Replacing a right-wing Democrat with a more progressive Democrat will help voters more clearly understand what Democrats stand forand that will help Democrats win.

First part -- right on. Second part -- no freaking way.

#5 Oh please please do, this would be the greatest event to watch Democratic party implode.

#6 I watched feminist Kate Melcham (or something like that) halking her book on TV the other night. She was lecturing to a group of like minded women.

I found it fascinating. Mostly because it was an interesting insight into just how dejected the lefty dems feel.

One girl said, "how do we get the campus democrats off life support" and "feminist" is almost a dirty word.

Kate clearly believed that the only reason their product wasn't selling was because the evil Christian right is better organized and if only the far left could organize as well as they could, then everyone would want to think just like them. The cognitive diss was strangely compelling to watch.

#7 #6 2b: "I watched feminist Kate Melcham (or something like that) halking her book"

Not to nitpick, but it's spelled "hawking."

However, in this context I like your spelling better. "Halking her book" - sort of sounds like something a cat would do with a hairball. Same dif, I suspect. ;-p

#8 sounds like Kate Michelman - Nat'l Abortion Rights Action (?) League (NARAL)
