135. even tho I will vote for Hillary, the stuff in your post

Nov 2015

is one of the things I used to call the campaign and threaten them on my vote if they don't marginalize MoveOn. The Bush era is gone, and actually, while MoveOn had a lot of grassroots guys in 2008, they may have hurt Kerry's image in 2004 indirectly as their acts made those who didn't like Bush all look like idiots, which is why I think enough Americans thought him weak on terror enough to re-elect Bush.
