| Topic: Move ON Raises One Million For Anti Leiberman Campaign | |

In less than two days time, the progressive action group MoveOn.org has raised more than $1 million for its campaign against Sen. Joseph Lieberman (I-Conn.).
The five-million-member group launched a fundraising drive on Tuesday after the Connecticut independent successfully killed key provisions from the Senate's health care reform legislation. The goal was set, initially, for $400,000. By 1:22 p.m. on Thursday they were past the $1 million mark and climbing. The money will go to an ad campaign against Lieberman and into a fund to oppose his re-election in 2012. The massive and quick response to the plea reflects just how much progressive frustration there is about the man who, eight years ago, was the Democratic vice presidential nominee. Additionally, on Thursday, MoveOn.org put out a comic web ad using sock puppets to mock Lieberman as a spotlight-seeking political diva -- and his colleagues in the Democratic caucus as spineless enablers of his behavior. The spot, which is not part of the broad multimedia ad campaign that the group will launch with its fundraising drive overhaul, has Lieberman at one point demanding that he be given four inches in height in exchange for his vote -- a request that was, naturally, granted. Mockery of Lieberman may be one of the few sticks left to brandish in the health care reform debate. However. MoveOn's video seems more likely to make progressives feel better than to compel Democratic leadership to toughen up. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2009/12/17/moveon-hits-1-million-mar_n_395962.html |

Didn't the fringe nutjobs on the left spend millions to run him out of the Senate? How did that work out? |

Connecticut Senator Joseph Lieberman has long been an advocate for universal health care. In August, 2000 he signed on to the Hyde Park Declaration, a policy agenda that promoted Americans' universal access to health care. As recently as September, 2009, Lieberman gave an interview to a Connecticut newspaper in which he was recorded on video clearly saying that he supported allowing Americans 55-64 years old to buy into Medicare and Medicaid programs. This is leading many people to wonder why Senator Lieberman is working so hard to block the health care reform legislation now under consideration, which included the very same policies he has so strongly supported in the past. One of his motives might include revenge against Connecticut Democrats for rejecting him in 2006 (after which time he gained re-election as an Independent). Some think he may trying to appeal to Republicans, who could prove key to his re-election bid in 2012. But the main reason could be that, over his political career, Senator Lieberman has accepted more than $1 million from large, Connectucut-based health insurance companies, a figure which led the New York Times to dub him the "Million Dollar Man." In his 2006 re-election campaign, Lieberman ranked second in the Senate in accepting insurance industry contributions. http://www.prwatch.org/ |
