"Not only did the White House fail to crank up its own campaign machinery on behalf of health care, it also worked to silence other liberal groups. In a little-publicized effort, top administration officials met each week at the Capital Hilton with members of a coalition called the Common Purpose Project, which included leading activist groups like Change to Win, Rock the Vote and MoveOn. In August, when members of the coalition planned to run ads targeting conservative Democrats who opposed health care reform, Rahm Emanuel showed up in person to put a stop to the campaign. According to several participants, Emanuel yelled at the assembled activists, calling them "fucking retards" and telling them he wasn't going to let them derail his legislative winning streak. "We're 13-0 going into health care!" he screamed. "We're not going to be 13-1!"" http://www.rollingstone.com/politics/story/31961846/no_we_cant/3

I am a Liberal Independent and have been since 2004 because I knew then that I had no place in the Democrat Party. By Democrat Party I mean it in the insulting way Democrats feel when Republicans say it because I cannot respect someone or something that has no respect for me. It's called reciprocity and reciprocity is my vow every time I get an email, a phone call, a petition and most importantly when election day comes around. The days of holding my nose, settling for the lesser evil which in the end is still evil, are over for me, at least.
Those who know me know that the event depicted below perpetrated by the Democrat Party against a Liberal who happens to be a Democrat will not go quietly down into the memory hole as long as I'm breathing so I give you another reminder of why I gladly reciprocate the disdain back at the Democrat Party:

Harry Knox, a presidential advisory on Faith based and neighborhood partnerships, says that the Pope’s assertion that condom use hurts people in Africa is “hurting people in the name of Jesus.” The counter argument is that condom use aggravates HIV’s spread.
