"We progressives, we just keep going back for more and more punishment," Rachel Barber says to me between sips of coffee. "We never learn."

Great opening line, then the rest of the article says that they want to do the same thing (Use 527s and crazy groups like ACT and others). Have the "Progressive" Democrats learned anything or are they planning to do more of the same?

They're referring to the coming elections?

I thought they were referring to Iraq, as in, causing the USA to lose in Iraq through their steady drumbeat of propaganda.

Getting power is the only war worth fighting for lefties.

I don't know why they think "progressive" sounds better than "liberal". Progressive just sounds more elitist.

They have to use something to obscure themselves. If they actually said what they really believe and what they really are, no one would vote for them. If they came out and said "We are socialists and want to take over this country and implement socialism", they wouldn't stand a prayer. If they said "Going to war after 9/11 was wrong "This country is not worth defending" as Cindy Shehan said they would be out of power for the next century.

I hope not.

Given their assets, the nass media along with the public education including colleges and universities, coupled with the stupidity of the average American, they might.

Should the Democrats win, only the parasites,degenerates, and perverts will be pleased.

Decent individuals, including the gullible older working people who vote Democrat because. "By Golly, my mother,father, and Uncle Ned were Democrats and that is good enough for me!" will not be happy.

But by then it will be too late. Once the Democrats regain power they are not going to relinquish it.

I am not a "Progressive Looser". Americans voted for me before they voted against me.

"We progressives"

It's time to ask what they're progressing toward.

I prefer to call them what they really are: COMMUNIST TRAITORS.

We progressives, we just keep going back for more and more punishment," Rachel Barber says...

You're not progressive, dear, you're flaming socialist, liberal, anti-capitalists, pro-infanticide, surrender-to-terrorist pacificists!
