Sure, MoveOn has absolutely no influence over the Democratic Party. It’s not like they convinced every single Democratic Party Presidential candidate in 2008 to protest Fox News’s hosting of two Democratic Party primary debates. Nor has their founder said that MoveOn.org “paid for the Democratic Party” and owns it.

They’re a fringe element with absolutely no influence. //

OK, you want to focus on MoveOn. That’s fine. My point is that Nancy Pelosi voted yes on the Patriot Act in 2001. She voted against only certain reauthorization of certain provisions of the Patriot Act in 2005. Obama extended the Patriot Act with the help of Democratic majorities in both the House and Senate. Doesn’t seem like they’re listening to MoveOn now does it?
