From your own website: "Loren Collins for Congress -- Bull Moose Candidate for Georgia's Fourth Congressional District"
BULL MOOSE PARTY, the nickname given by newspapers to the Progressive Party, founded in June 1912 by progressive Republicans who bolted the GOP convention to protest the regular party's "standpatism" and the usurpation of progressive presidential electors by incumbent William Howard Taft.
So you're a Bull Moose, but you're not a Progressive -- black is white and white is black -- you guys kill me.
So you admit that despite your use of quote marks, you weren't actually quoting me? Thank you.
Regardless, your logic is impenetrable. I borrowed the unofficial nickname of a decades-old defunct political party (not the “Progressive” name), ergo I must share that party's political ideology. I take it that my actual stances on issues (discreetly located on my “Issues” page), which don’t sync at all with the Progressive agenda, are irrelevant? In fact, I doubt I could be any LESS “Progressive” on the issue of Social Security.
I could also note that before he was a Progressive candidate, Theodore Roosevelt was a two-term Republican President, and his politics were the same. And as a Republican, Roosevelt advanced a rather “progressive” agenda. Perhaps all Republicans should be considered “progressives,” then.
Liar or ignorant? ... The poster is likely a journalist, a pseudo-libertarian journalist. What else would one expect from someone who would vote for Bob Barr of the ACLU scum.
