For any politician who once ranked high in the Ku Klux Klan, redemption must be hard-earned.  I believe Robert Byrd, senator pro-tem (D-W.Va.) has secured the status of a redeemed man.  His new affiliation with the MoveOn pac says volumes.

MoveOn and its sister organization MoveOn.org are among only a handful of powerful political organizations with the guts to take an uncompromising stand against the fascist extremism of the Republican Party.

Byrd's time left on this Earth is not long at age 87.  He is making every day count with his brave opposition to the rightwing's chronic mendacity and dictatorial tactics.

The rest of the Democratic politicians and their affiliates need to take their cues from Byrd.  It burns me up the way the Dems still quail at GOP aggression.  They suffer from the delusion that fascist absolutism and fundamentalist mania are negotiable.  They are still in bed with anti-democratic corporate tyranny of global proportions.

Some Dems may argue Byrd is so old he has no worries about career advancement.  They need to face the fact that "moving to the center" means nothing less than rubber-stamping every GOP judicial appointment, and every GOP legislative proposal.  The American Fascist Party (Republican) will not stop hectoring and sledgehammering the Democrats until the Democrats shed every last vestige of difference between them and Tom DeLay.  The world corporate titans of the labor-exploiting, pollution-dumping, democracy-subverting variety will always pour five times or better the amount of money into GOP coffers than Democrat coffers unless the Dems stop siding with underdogs altogether.

In short, the ultimate end and only end for Democratic concessions is for the Democrat Party to feed itself to the Fascist Party (Republican) and let the GOP assimilate and excrete it.  Senator Byrd is showing us the way: DEMOCRATS TO FASCISTS: DROP DEAD!
I'm not saying we wouldn't bend our precious party, I'm not saying we wouldn't get our hair mussed, I'm not saying we wouldn't lose a few political rounds in the short term...I am saying it is the last best hope for two major parties instead of one-party totalitarianism.  I wish we had multiple parties of electoral consequence.  I don't see the Dems as a panacea at all, but if the Dems become part of the undifferentiated fascist mass, what hope is there for Greens or Libertarians?

ROBERT BYRD: THE NEW AMERICAN EAGLE

Are you kidding?

Both the democrats and the republicans have some insane PACs/groups behind them, and aside from maybe ELF and/or PETA, moveon has to be among the worst for the american democrats.

Senator Byrd is a successful fund raiser for one reason and one reason only.

He is by far the "King of Pork", with a well-developed talent for doling out taxpayer dollars to anybody who shows promise to vote for him.  I swear, this guy must have more public works named after him than John F. Kenedy or George Washington.

Sen Byrd certainly has a mixed history, but of late, I seem to agree with him more than not.  Unlike most leftist, I don't demand that my bed mates be virgins.  I don't demand purity (meaning 100% agreement with my views) from political allies, so I concur, 3 cheers for Sen Byrd.

I was in a pretty manic frame of mind when I started this thread!
