TW: Ideologues do not govern, they chastise and bitch and live in their own parallel universes. Learning the difference is beyond most ideologues. Do MoveOn et al. actually believe the Lincolns, Landrieus and Nelsons of the world would be replaced by more progressive types. I would like to take the MoveOn and Code Pink types and put them on a boat with most of the Teabaggers and send them far away.
From Economist:
"IF THE clever chaps at MoveOn.org want to elect more Republicans, they are going the right way about it. See their hard-hitting ads attacking Blanche Lincoln, Mary Landrieu and Ben Nelson—all Democratic senators. The gist is that these dreadful people are against clean air. There are some harrowing pictures of babies and pregnant moms smoking cigarettes.
The ads are thoroughly misleading. None of the senators wants to "roll back the Clean Air Act", as MoveOn.org puts it. They just don't think the Environmental Protection Agency is the most appropriate body to regulate greenhouse gases.
The polls now show Senator Lincoln trailing her possible Republican opponents this year by double digits. Senator Landrieu is vulnerable, too. Small wonder Rahm Emanuel sometimes refers to the angry left as "fucking retarded". I'd phrase it differently, but I can't fault his judgment."
