Does MoveOn.org Really Have a Clue?

NewsMax.com reports that MoveOn.org wants Terry McAuliffe's head on a platter. They blame him and what they call "professional election losers" for the trouble that the Democratic Party is in. The only thing is that they don't know who the "professional election losers" really are. The first thing they think of is large corporate donors who want access and favors that would not be in the spirit of the virtual Communism that they espouse. But, as in so much else, they are wrong.

Terry McAuliffe is a tool--of Bill and Hillary Clinton. The Kerry campaign was designed, and run, to fail. I am even sixty-percent confident now that John Kerry delivered his concession speech because Bill Clinton called him on the telephone and told him to. (The other forty percent is because Kerry knew perfectly well that a close-enough scrutiny of the Ohio provo ballots would embarrass him. As it was, Ohio didn't even validate enough provo ballots to put the election in any question whatever.)

Moreover, they at MoveOn.org think that money raising is everything. It's clearly not. They observe--correctly--that Democrats out-fund-raised Republicans this time around. And they still lost. Why? Because they reached people with their ideas, all right--and to paraphrase Boris (How the Grinch Stole Christmas) Karloff, the American people had just three words to describe them: stink, stank, stunk.

Add to it that conservatives are having most of the children, and the lesson becomes clear: MoveOn.org ought to take the advice implicit in their organization's name and--well, move on. And what they need to move on to is "getting their minds right."

But they won't, will they?

What we've got here, is failure to communicate! Some men just can't be reached...!
