Obama frightens the Left???
 

He's an Obama fan, hence, a traitor to the "progressive" movement, whatever the fuck that is.

Well, now, had he lost, he wouldn't have been able to eliminate much of anything, would he?

plus nonresponsive, plus the wrong speech anyway.

Spoken like a true "libertarian." You want all the benefits and you don't want to pay for them.

(That's for not giving me props for agreeing with you about government waste and cutting the overall tax rate, bitch.)

I believe you are trying to point out Ron Paul's poor grasp of history, that the civil war was started not over slavery and its elmination but over succession; and that it was, of course, started by the South, not the North. (And give me emancipation proclamation for 100, please).

But, to give the devil his due, Paul's sense of history is superior to Huckabee's grasp of science.

I will not speak to Romney's understanding of anything, unless you first tell me which Romney we're talking about.

"Progressive" sounds much nicer than the "Anti-Israel Socialist Party"

Giving credit where credit is due, this last quip was amusing.

I did give you props. You shut me up with the comment, which is about as good as the props come from my end. That's like a grand slam with two runners on each base.

Putting that slanted definition aside, can anyone articulate for me a comprehensive "Progressive" platform? I hear so many people use the term, but nobody ever defines it. The term itself suggests a never ending movement, but to what end? If we took "progressive" policies as far as they can go, where exactly would they go? Is it ultimately socialism? I honestly don't know what all these waterheads throwing the term around on television are talking about. "Conservative" is a little easier to understand since Buckley pretty well defined it, so I understand one of the battling ideologies, but a concrete definition of it's opponent's aims and goals and planks seems to elude me.

I would have to say that the Republican Party did it best in 1928, when they promised a vote for Hoover would lead to "a chicken in every pot and a car in every garage."

Can't get much more progressive than that, can you?

Not usually, but this Board isn't real life.

I say it rarely, always in person (and with a smile to signal that I know what it sounds like).

That makes me like him even more.

It also makes me all the more curious why he's has taken the opposite side of almost all of these issues in the Senate.

Peace, love and understanding.

Unless you are a Republican. See, e.g., article above.
