Moveon.org's Take on Brown Victory

Moveon.org's website calls Sen.-elect Scott Brown's victory "devastating." That's the only nod to reality.

According' to Moveon's election night polling, those citizens who voted for Obama last year but Brown on Tuesday did so because Obama has not been "progressive" enough in unwinding the policies of President George Bush. That is, Brown won because (1) Obama is not liberal enough and (2) repeat after me: it is all Bush's fault.

Moveon's poll supposedly shows that 49 percent of the Obama voters who voted for Brown support the Senate health care bill or -- get this -- think the bill does not go far enough.

It seems that the message for Obama from the base is too introduce a new health care bill that goes further in raising costs, increasing the deficit, reducing freedom and socializing one-sixth of the economy.
