Whether this matters is any one’s guess. The far left wackos are putting pressure on moderate democrats to fall in line and go along with President Obama’s policies.
Sen. Evan Bayh (D-Ind.) is also unhappy with the friendly fire. Bayh announced last week that a group of centrist Democrats had come together to negotiate as a bloc with the White House and party leaders on major legislation. He promptly found himself targeted by an ad accusing him of “standing in the way of President Obama’s reforms.”
“We literally have no agenda,” Bayh shot back. “How can they be threatened by a group that has taken no policy positions?”
But liberal groups that worked hard to elect Obama are unhappy with the prospect of having moderate Democrats like Pryor, Bayh and the Blue Dogs in the House trying to slow down his agenda.
“We are going to need almost every Democratic vote to pass the budget,” said MoveOn Executive Director Justin Ruben. “Our ads ensure the voices of our 5 million members and the millions of other Americans who support this budget can be heard over the army of lobbyists.”
Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders, a registered independent who leans far left, complained that “so-called moderates have the threat of voting with the Republicans” while “those of us who believe in protecting the needs of middle-income working families don’t have that luxury.”
First of all, there are a heck of a lot more than 5 million Americans who don’t want to become slaves to the state. Furthermore, I would beg to differ with these socialists who claim to champion the middle class. They’re killing the middle class!
Not that I don’t prefer center left democrats over radical left wingers, but a blue dog lost is a democrat lost. Any democrat that can be picked off between now and 2010 will bring us that much closer to taking Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid out of power.
The more breaks in the ranks of the Dems the better!
Supporters of BHO and his policies are, in many ways, like cult followers. Therefore, standing in the way of President Obama’s reforms is viewed as a betrayal of the cult leader, eg., BHO.
BTW, this kind of veneration of the President of the United States is against the very principles our Founders believed. Indeed, our Founders believed that regarding the president as even approaching the kind of veneration Europe had then for their royalty was an abomination.
If WE THE PEOPLE are going to see America restored to the great nation she once was, the 2010 elections are critical.

Moderate Dems are coming to their senses with Obama. People are now seeing through Obama and the choices he has made. I wrote about the same thing.

“We are going to need almost every Democratic vote to pass the budget,” said MoveOn Executive Director Justin Ruben.
Is Justin Ruben a cabinet member, now? Is MoveOn an official White House office?
Are we really paranoid and panicky, or has there been a coup d’état that no one wants to see???
On the lighter side, my ultra-Lib boss was just so darn dissappointed in The One on Monday, following his Jay Leno & 60 Minutes spots. Really appalled and verging on embarassed. Thinks he was acting weird. Thinks he was acting like a kid playing dress-up and President For A Day instead of being Presidential. Can’t figure out why he would do that, when everyone knows that a President doesn’t go on late-night tv; harms the prestige. Laughing about the economy imploding. Thinks maybe this guy isn’t ready for this job just yet… YA THINK?
