Liberals want to push Democrats further Left…

February 26, 2009

…which, if you ask me, is a great idea.

WASHINGTON — A group of liberal bloggers said it was teaming up with organized labor and MoveOn.org to form a political action committee that would seek to push the Democratic Party further to the left.

Soliciting donations from their readers, the bloggers said they were planning to recruit liberal candidates to challenge more centrist Democrats currently in Congress.

This “illuminates a deepening wrinkle for President Obama, whose attempt to build a broad governing coalition — often by tempering some of his more liberal positions — has already angered some of his supporters on the left,” according to the article.

The group’s called “Accountability Now.” I’m sure we’ll hear more about them come the next Fighting Bob Fest. They say they might get involved in Republican primaries in the future (because moving Left is a proven and surefire way to win a Republican primary!), but for now they’re concentrating on Democrats.

Godspeed to you, I say, and best of luck.

UPDATE – The Club for Growth calls this a case of imitation being the sincerest form of flattery.
