Billionaire Soros takes on Bush

My Favorite quote: "'It's incredibly ironic that George Soros is trying to create a more open society by using an unregulated, under-the-radar-screen, shadowy, soft-money group to do it,' Republican National Committee spokeswoman Christine Iverson said."

Um, MoveOn is hardly under-the-radar OR shadowy. She's obviously forgetting her recent history: the name comes from the phrase "Censure and Move On," which popped up on BOTH sides of the aisle during the Clinton impeachment. The hundreds of thousands of people who signed MoveOn's petition made it the first onlind movement of its kind to succeed on such a large scale. Since then, MoveOn has been a prominent political force, which has received national media coverage. "Shadowy" and "under-the-radar"? Hard to do in front of the cameras.

So, I'd like to make a deal with the RNC: you give up the NRA, the masses of conservative religious orgs that support you, the anti-choice orgs, and the massive numbers of millionaire businessmen who fine ways of giving to your campaigns. In return, I'm sure the DNC would be willing to give up MoveOn and the comparatively poorly funded groups that support their candidates. Until we do this fantasy deal, though, let's not be sore losers when the other side uses our own dirty tactics.
