Well, be careful what you wish for, I guess. We want Democrats to stand for something, and this is what we get...from the comments of this FDL thread, I found this:
Just as the old neocons wanted to expel the McGovernites, so the new ones want to rid the party of the Moveon.org types and move it to the right. As [Peter] Beinart puts it, "whatever its failings, the right at least knows that America's enemies need to be fought."The Right labels something (in this case, moveon.org). The Left gets scared of the label and runs as far to the right as possible. Rinse, repeat. *sigh*
