How MoveOn.org got started?

That it was Censure and Move On meaning censure Bill Clinton for the Lewinsky thing and then move on to the business of running the country?

(Move On has never really had a love of the Clintons or the censure bit wouldn’t be necessary)

But mostly it was a giant group of people who felt that their needs we not being served because their political reps were too busy doing something else.

So now there is a huge group of us, much like those early move-oners, who feel left out and trampled on by the political powers that be while our needs are ignored. And the phrase that keeps coming up is “Thrown under the bus”.

Maybe, as Doctor Violet pointed in a post several weeks ago, the seeds of the new progressive blogosphere needs a sort of post clearing house. Our own Daily Kos (minus the megalomania and sexism) of sorts.

And maybe that place should be called “Under the Bus” cause it would be people by those of us who keep being thrown there whenever it’s expedient for the Democratic party.

Just an idea.
