New Democrat Caucus VS Progressive Caucus

The New Democrat Caucus has now surpassed the Progressive Caucus in size. they now number 70 members. The Progressive Caucus has in the mid 50's range. How can we grow the Progressive Caucus? It is the only way to take our voice as liberals back!

1. Perhaps
as Bush continues along his right-wing mission and agenda, he will drive more and more people towards more liberal ideology. That is my hope.

2. Purge liberals.: Maureen Dowd.
Anyone see the debate between Down and Safire...I know Safire does hardly speaks for the Democratic Party..But, he suggested that to win. Democrats need kick out the likes of Michael Moore and a couple others and not nominate North Easterners.
So how can the New Democrats take us for granted..Kerry was there baby...As ROve said, his voting for Bush's Iraq war was a 'gift.'
Centrists won and ran this campaign..And they want to kick us out of the party..They not want our votes in the General Election..Michael Moore did wonders for this party..Had Kerry picked up the momentum of Fahrenheir 911 and run with it, he would have won.
Where Michael Moore goes, greatly influences me..He is one of our best Democrats. Only a dumb aZZ would call this born and bred blue collar worker elistist...Only elitist would dare say such a thing.
Maybe Michael Moore would be a good Democratic National Committee chair...Then we would get some where...
Ed Gillispie would first of all, die of a stroke..Maybe Dubya aZZ too.

5. these are the people who deliberatly attack labor and minorities,
then get all huffy when they're not "appreciated."
Just like the Ape King getting angry when nobody thanks him for invading Iraq.

6. whatever Safire says, do the opposite
he's a lunatic. It's time to build up our base. They just don't want to face it, because it is such hard work.

7. proof that being a new democrat means youre a cave in to Bush person
Moran is a member of that NDC, I am not a fan of him but he is very outspoken, and interestingly not one of the bigger supporters of Palestine I believe in the house. Just saying. A lot of those in the progressive caucus are on my favorites though.
