MOVEON is trying to Move On.

[alfsauve]

As a number of you do, I monitor MoveOn.org.   They're currently polling their membership for the "hot" issues.   I was tempted to reply with some conservative comments, but each response is tagged to a userid, and I don't want to be dropped.  It's way too much fun reading their missives.

Right now they've taken about 50,000 user ideas and are trying to prioritize them.   Mostly, along the lines of Health Care, out of Iraq, impeach Bush, and legitimize gay marriage.   They're doing a poor job of categorization.  I've read about 40 of the "criminal justice" ideas but haven't run across anything on gun control......yet.   I can't post a link, because again you need a userid.   But I'll keep you posted if a relevant issue crops up.

Some of these people are so.........how do you say politely?..........shallow thinkers.    Many blame "profit" and "lobbyists" for all the evils in the USA,  as if the liberals don't benefit from profit or use lobbyists.

When you want to stop lurking a site and move on to actually doing something on the site, I always like to go to bugmenot.com - a great place to get bogus logins that others have used and then posted so anyone can get into the sites. Especially useful for newspapers that require "registration" before getting access to a news article.

Here's what they had for moveon.

Alf,

Did you make sure to sanitize your keyboard when you finished?

They make finger condoms just for such occasions.

Didn't you mean to say: But I'll keep you posted if a relevant crap issues up.

You know, they really don't have a grasp, even a fingernail hold, on reality.

Okay, they asked me to vote for the top issues.   It was really easy because they worded them so.o.o.o.o  open-ended.

1)  Restore civil liberties.   Of course, I'm thinking, things like, CCW and open carry WITHOUT a license.  No security checkpoints at airports.  Can the ATF.  repeal, 1968, 193x laws.

2)  Reform campaigns and elections.  Oh duh.   Of course, but I'm  thinking, no ID no vote.  Non-citizen- no vote.  Dump all the campaign finance laws.

3)  Improve public schools. 

I mean how stupid are their "real" supporters?    The ones who send them money?

Nothing on Gun Control.  Most of the rest as socialistic.   Universal Health Care, free college, etc.

They go through life with their heads in the sand. But they do make good bike racks!

There's a reason to get 'fat tire' bikes back on the street if I ever saw one.
