A Party Bought And Paid ForINVESTOR'S BUSINESS DAILYPosted 9/21/2007 Election 2008: MoveOn.org once crowed that it had bought and owned the Democratic Party. With the Senate now blasting its tactics, that's an open question. But not, apparently, for Democrats running for president.

yeah, MoveOn really shot themselves in the foot on that one. whichever douchebags created that ad, and especially the ones that approved its release, should be bitchslapped.and I agree with you about the congressional democrats. they basically blow a dead goat. im totally disgusted with their moral ambiguity and ethical hypocrisy.probably at least as much as i am disgusted with the GOP's constant money-grubbing, fraudulent-scheming, childporn-watching, airport bathroom-masturbating, hooker check-canceling, rest area-pimping, cross-dressing meth-snorting gigolo-loving, morality-legislating, christian platitude-sermonizing holier-than-thou sanctimonious bullshit-peddling antics.

^^^, ^^, and ^ Okay, I screwed up with that one.
9/22/2007 7:03:34 PM
i figured most democrats and republicans were paid for
9/22/2007 7:24:36 PM
Me too, I mean, in the movie "Shooter", there was a corrupt politician. And I can name a few others that have corrupt politicians.Eventually, they will probably all be assasinated by Mark Wahlberg.

^ I just watched that this weekend--it was pretty good. But they did take plenty of cheap shots at Bush and conservatives. And concerning the topic, the piece focuses specifically on the following claim by MoveOn itself:

MoveOn's ad, from what i understand (i never saw it) is despicable.but the Op-Ed piece by the decidedly conservative Investor's Business Daily editorial staff is not surprising.they want to drum up fear thatf some left-wing fringe element who runs a few spurious advertising campaigns critical of the war as having "bought and sold" the Democratic party.that's so pathetic it would be laughable, if it weren't for the fact that red state rabble like yourself so eagerly lap it up like it was Gospel.sorry, but MoveOn is not a legitimate political force.

^^ You're fooling yourself. 1. MoveOn itself is the organization that claimed it had bought the Democrat Party--the "vast right-wing conspiracy" didn't gin this up.

^ Actually they do. It's their big issue. They're banking on the Bush admin to keep screwing this up til November 08
9/24/2007 10:29:02 AM
^^ I disagree. If the Democrats (hypothetically) cut off funding and Iraq descends into chaos (as it likely will) the responsibility will be laid at their door, especially with the percieved turn around in Iraq. If they allow the war to fester, it becomes their primary issue until the end of the 2008 campaign. They've got no political stake in actually ending the war, and they already proved too chicken to stand up for what they think is right in 2003.^ and she would know.

I think he meant "finally" in an "it was bound to happen eventually" sense.
12/3/2007 1:15:26 AM
^ Yes, thus the "WTF?! ." Does he actually think the most recent charges against Jefferson mark the beginning of Democrat corruption?
12/3/2007 1:30:03 AM
So are you denying that Republicans are the overwhelming majority in accepting bribes over the past 10 years?
12/3/2007 2:51:50 AM
^ Do you have any evidence of that? If not, STFU. I posted a link--you should try it.
12/3/2007 2:53:34 AM
we all hate you
12/3/2007 2:56:22 AM
^ If so, it's a fucking badge of honor.

^I mean, not really
12/3/2007 3:46:24 AM
I didn't think the minorities voting to try to get that welfare check could afford to buy democratic politicians.
12/3/2007 10:05:06 AM
^ WTF?!

12/3/2007 1:59:14 PM
^ Um. . .I'm hardly the only one who thinks that. Quick search:

what is the point of this thread. Candidates on both sides of the isle have been found guilty of corruption and various scandals.

I would love for MoveOn to claim they own the North Carolina Democratic Party. That would make as much sense as BlueNC claiming they own the North Carolina Democratic Party.I can easily make the same claim that the John Birch Society and the Council of Conservative Citizens, but that would accomplish absolutely nothing.

hooksaw, why dont you ever post all the crap the GOP pulls? I mean, its little over board with you.
12/11/2007 3:22:24 PM
In fairness he did put it in quotes... as it was a direct quote from the article's title.
12/11/2007 3:23:50 PM
^^ C'mon, gunzz--the Republicans get plenty of fair and unfair bashing in TSB. The left-wing moonbats see to that--and even some conservatives:
