MoveOn May "Pull the Plug" on Obama

31 May 2012 19:58 #1 by otisptoadwater


MoveOn, a giant in the progressive political world and an early endorser of Barack Obama in 2008, warns that it might have to “pull the plug” on key campaigns to help Obama and Senate Democrats if its 7 million members don’t pony up with at least $5.

So now we have a particularly interesting situation, Barry needs his supporters to pony up with the cash to keep one of his more important PACs from bailing out on him. The problem is a large percentage of the working age population of the United States is either unemployed, under employed, or just gave up on looking for a job. I wonder if MoveOn accepts food stamps, EBT, Gubment cheese, or Gubment peanut butter?

I can explain it to you but I can't understand it for you.

Time for some election stimulus. Taxpayer funded Planned Parenthood is ready to donate some of our cash for the cause.

The left is angry because they are now being judged by the content of their character and not by the color of their skin.

Gee, if you guys ever got your facts straight, I would be amazed... But, since this is the usual lie/partial-truth why bother...

Yes, they sent out an email saying "We may have to pull the plug"..The rest of the message said NOTHING about support of Obama. It listed 8-10 issues, and asked for donations to continue working on all of them...But as a "motivational technique", it allowed the recipients to check off which ones they felt were the most important...(Support for Obama was NOT one of them...)

So, as usual.... LIARS

Obviously, I am a member, and I get their emails, and here is the main part of the content:

Here are some examples of the important projects we'd love to run in 2012 if we had enough money:

* Young voter turnout. Young voters were crucial to Obama's victory in 2008, but most elections experts say it's unlikely they'll vote again in similar numbers this time around. We learned how to register and turn out young voters last time, and we need to do it again.

* Elect Elizabeth Warren and keep control of the U.S. Senate. Elizabeth Warren is one of the best progressive candidates we've seen in years. When control of the Senate could be decided on her race, how could we not help her win?

* Fighting voter suppression. Republicans have passed a wave of laws aimed at making it harder to vote for African Americans, students, and poor people. If turnout goes down by even a couple percentage points among these key voting blocs, that could be disastrous.


Nice try, Toady...

Announcing that you are a member of MoveON.org is like announcing that you have VD or TB or something.

Try donating to real people who need real help...your money is going down a giant rathole. (not that I would expect anything different)
