This Man Must Be Stopped

First read this on Josh Marshall's site.

I've been railing against this guy for quite some time now. I think he's a dirty, scum-sucking, pathetic weasel, and those are his good qualities. I've hated him since his adoption of censoring, GOP and fascist values on the v-chip, and I'm happy he tanked hard in the primaries. This man is what Dean likes to call Republican Lite. Same awful taste, but you think it's better than the alternative. Let me clue you in to something: it's not. This man is not a Democrat or a progressive by any means. If you see this man paint him red or, and I don't care how you get one, trample him with an elephant.

We don't need Democrats in the party like this tool, Democrats who would love to work together with the GOP by bending over and asking them for another. There is no excuse for supporting the privatization of social security, unless your modus operandi is getting rid of social insurance and creating a situation in which people on the bottom are fundamentally less free than those on the top because they can't afford to live, because the numbers don't add up and it will make things worse. I know this fool is also gunning for a position within the administration, which demonstrates that he's really in it only for himself and doesn't care about the welfare of the vast majority of people in this country. As Marshall points out, this both pins the Democrats down and frees the Republicans up. He's becoming the Zell Miller of this issue, which is something we neither want nor need. I want him formally expelled from the party but save that it's about time we start thinking about mounting a serious primary offensive against him.

Besides, can you really respect someone who used the term 'Joe-mentum?'
