Mary Shull changed her life, if not politics.
A lonely and frustrated liberal, the stay-at-home mother of two joined the liberal online group MoveOn.org in 2004. Working from home, the Pittsburgh woman helped round up votes for presidential candidate John Kerry and other Democrats. On Election Day, Kerry prevailed in Pennsylvania, but failed to unseat President Bush.
''I was upset with Kerry's loss, but what really devastated me was the loss of that sense of empowerment in my life, this sense of engagement, that I got with MoveOn,'' she said. |
Cry me a bucket of tears
The articles appears to be an attempt at promoting Moveon.org. One mention of BlogsforBush.com and no mention of the most effective and successful internet cause that defeated the traitor sKerry, Swiftboat veterans and POWS for Truth!
