Move on is Mainstream!!
I was proud of Bill Clinton last night, on CNN, giving the Rethugs no quarter over their hypocritical "condemnation" of MoveOn.org. Yet I'm even prouder of the statement put together by some MoveOn members in the Rochester, New York area:
Recently much media attention has focused on MoveOn.org, and some misinformation has been conveyed as fact. To set the record straight, members in the Rochester area would like to introduce ourselves to the community at large. Consistently and falsely portrayed by some media sources as "far left," we represent a broad cross-section of average Americans.
Nationally, we are over 3.3 million strong. Operationally, we have harnessed the Internet as a forum to debate, select, vote on and prioritize member-driven issues and strategies...
Locally, we are teachers, engineers, law enforcement officers, carpenters, doctors, graphic designers and retirees. We are your friends, neighbors and relatives. We live in the suburbs, city and country. And we care deeply about the same issues most Americans do, and are proud to use the organizational power of MoveOn.org to carry out our responsibilities as citizens.
We care that this administration ignored pleas from the world community and invaded Iraq without moral or legal basis. The result has been devastation and quagmire in Iraq, an increase in global terrorist violence and a more dangerous world. We are dedicated to bringing our troops safely home and rebuilding the international alliances necessary to address the real terrorist threat. And as the media have amply reported, this is the view of the great majority of Americans.

Every Capitol Hill "Democrat," who jumped on the condemn MoveOn bandwagon, should be forced to put on sackcloth and ashes... can anyone say "spineless?"
