Now they have their one chance to do it. They will go for the brass ring.
Teddy Roosevelt was a” progressive “
I don’t find that surprising. They have the majority numbers and do not care what the majority of the country wants... we don’t count in a thugocracy.
Yes, he was and too few seem to realize it; this is why McCain always claiming he is a “TR Republican” is far from comforting.
"Ram it down our throats in 2009 and we'll shove it up your a$$ in 2010!"
The one probably sees this as he’s not being radical enough....
