Before I say this, let me first say it isn't meant to be sexist.

Men have certainly made a mess of social policy in this country (OK, policy, in general). That said, it's interesting to see so many women Democrats obstructing health care reform right now. My wife once said to me, "Watch. If women were in charge, the priorities in this country would shift dramatically because women know what it means to take care of a family." And I know that, on the whole, that's true--and that, ultimately, men still fill most of the power structure.

Still, Kay Hagan, Mary Landrieu, DiFi, Blanche Lincoln--and so-called Republican "moderates" like Olympia Snowe--are some of the most vocal critics of health care reform. That says nothing hopeful.

good. moveon's dollars are better spent pressuring dems than wasting money on retardicans who are "ideologically" opposed to government solutions that don't benefit their corporate or theological paymasters.

for better or worse, through a combination of retardican incompetence and malfeasance and grass roots support, the dems have the momentum. they need to understand they will only benefit from dem momentum if they, you know, support dem positions.

good for moveon, they are one of the strongest progressive outlets in the country.
