re: #343 Obdicut

I asked why you thought Moniyhan couldn’t get elected today.

You said:

You have provided absolutely nothing to show that his ‘defense of marriage’ would be harmful to him. And he was pro-choice, not pro-life. He was ‘uneasy’ with abortion, but still pro-choice.

Your assertions about the importance of Moveon and Truthout are likewise not supported in the least by any actual proof. In my brief research, I’ve found an equal number of candidates enorsed in primaries by Moveon who lost and who won. So, that contention is simply wrong.

Your contention that Moynihan could not be elected today is an unsupported one.

See above, Moynihan on abortion. Not as you stated.

And yes, since Moynihan is dead we will never know if he would be elected nowadays. Nor do we know if he would be endorsed by Moveon/Truthout despite his stated beliefs.
