Handful of Left-Wing billionaires has hijacked the Democrat party...

Former RNC chair Rich Bond writes about the current "strategery" being pursued by the MoveOn.org guerrillas. Dubbed the "Phoenix Group", a group of wealthy Liberal financiers led by George Soros iis dumping tons of money into ad campaigns that take aim not just at Republicans but also moderate Democrats who aren't considered "true believers" in the Democrats' political war.

The centrist Democratic Leadership Council has recently become the subject of MoveOn.org's wrath. And because Minority Whip Steny Hoyer of Maryland voted for the bankruptcy reform bill, he has come under heavily-funded fire.

While Mr. Hoyer is impregnable politically, winning with 69 percent of the vote in his last election, the message MoveOn.org is sending is clear: Bipartisan cooperation is unacceptable.

These party elitists, led by Mr. Soros and his rich friends, are determined to win from the left or not win at all. The Howard Dean-led Democrats still refuse to recognize the reality of the curse of the northern liberal: Liberalism is a failed ideology.

All this inter-party warfare and purging is bound to do some real damage to the Democrats, to the benefit of President Bush and the GOP.

These are the actions of a permanent minority, not an emerging majority.

Certainly Democratic National Committee Chairman Howard Dean deserves a good deal of the blame for his party's disarray. Mr. Dean's aim is consistent with the Soros hijacking of the Democratic Party: Repackage lousy-tasting liberalism and expect fellow Democrats and the voting public to swallow it. Mr. Dean displayed the same far-left pandering in the operation of his post-presidential campaign's political-action committee, Democracy for America, when he coddled up to liberals and ignored party moderates.
