And, of course, by “the line” he means his nutroots vision of a party line.
The King of the Nutroots (to Arianna’s Queen?), when not giving a big middle finger to the Democratic primary process in Michigan, has a plan to elect more and better Democrats.
And by “better” Democrats, he means more fringe and more willing to toe the Kos Party Lineâ„¢ and jump to the beat of the Nutroots chanting and drum banging.
But we have one tool available at our disposal — the primary system. Nothing screams “pay attention!” [more] than the thought that their actions might cost them their seat. In the past, such primary challenges were rare. The party establishment takes care of its own (witness Nancy Pelosi fundraising for the corrupt Al Wynn). But we’re starting to build the infrastructure to seriously give bad Democrats a run for their money. And while we must focus on election more Democrats in November, we also have to begin the process of getting rid of the bad Democrats.
And what does he really mean by “bad” Democrats? He means Blue Dog Democrats (or the “Bush Dogs” as Crooks and Liars calls them), or any other Democrat who even dares stare towards moderation or centrism.
Well, they were touting Edwards and look where that got them. They’re egomaniacs.
Tell me how this is different from the Club for Growth or Focus on the Family supported primary challenges to Arlen Specter on the basis of their opposition to his ideology.
People disagree. Politics is how we resolve those disagreements and it’s not really a big deal.
the differences are quite obvious to any thinking person. they all deal with premise.
cfg is a legitimate nonprofit that focuses on endorsing conservative spending and small government. fof is a 30 year old nonprofit that champions healthy families. the former opposed specter over spending/funding while the latter disliked his pro-life views.
kos runs a for profit blog whose only stated mission is to remedy it’s mouth being “offended … by the reckless and destructive Republican (bush) administration.” so as a premise, cfg and fof support clearly defined causess while daily kos admits to opposing “an oppressive and war-crazed administration” that “suppressed all dissent as unpatriotic and treasonous.” the nonprofits presuppose family, limited government and conservative spending are good. dailykos suggests if people don’t think like its führer, then those people are wrong and should be shouted down and insulted.
unlike the cfgs and fofs opposition to specter, kos objects to “bad democrats”. noticing a pattern? it’s fairly consistent throughout bipartisan politics. republicans take specific detailed academic positions while democrats vaguely attack in the hopes of raising taxes, expanding the role of government, and just being nice.
Whatever.
Do you want to talk about football or something- because you clearly have no knowledge of liberal dissatisfaction with Congressman Al Wynn.
ps. It has nothing to do with ‘being nice’.
Be honest, Adam, had you ever heard of Al Wynn before this post?
Screw Al Wynn, whoever he is, Adam is spot-on.
“football or something?”
ok, pats avenge loss in super bowl 31 over green bay 30-27 in ot.
back to the thread: wynn is one of only 10 congressmen from the state i live in bozo, and arguably the most moderate congressmen in the state. the fact is liberals aren’t disatisfied; the antiwar pretendahippies at kos are cause he doesn’t tow the line like a “good lil’ house-dem”.
