I could have stated it in one phrase,"the Rats won't win because they're idiots".
This guy has the described "progressives" brilliantly!
I prefer to call them "PIGressives."
And when the RATS lose the '06 election they will scream, "election fraud".
They really are idiots.
Does anybody ever think they will win. All you have to do is look at that party they spell losers!
Let's include his push for Frist, his nomination of Harriet Meires & keeping all of the Bubba holdovers.
But by the 1930s the word progressive had such a negative connotation that the "Progressives" began to refer to themselves as "Liberals."
But by the late 1990s the word Liberal had taken on such a negative connotation that Socialists started calling themselves Progressives again.
I think Kerry has come up with the right strategy for gutless politicians. Sometime in the next 18 months the Iraqi government will be capable of self-defense and our troops will come home. Kerry will say that the withdrawl shows he was right. As long as he keeps sliding the proposed date, eventually, one day it will match reality.
I hope the Republicans can successfully paint the Democrats as politicians who will send troops to war if it means getting reelected, and will cut-and-run if the polls show weakening support. Yes, Mr/Ms. Soldier, these "leaders" will send you halfway around the world and then undercut you as soon as it's politically viable to do so. Our enemies needn't fear us - a good P/R campaign is a "get out of jail free" card. You just have to convince the media that it's not safe to deploy reporters. Then spoon feed them false and slanted reports. The rest takes care of itself.
The only fly in the ointment is the current President. He believes his job is to do difficult things, then leave. He is the exact opposite of his predecessor who would do nothing if it might damage his popularity and will never leave. Al Qaida and the Baathists now realize they have to stay viable until at least 2009 if they're going to win. That's a long time on the run.
Oh please.. there is nothing socialist about globalism(since it's based on capitalism and letting corporations go global instead of thinking locally.. which is the true spirit of capitalism). And there is nothing socialist about the war on terror since everyone knows that the Soviets were among the most brutual on the planet and that lives on in the war that the Russians still fight today.
But on illegal immigration I'll give the article credit on Saying Mr. Bush is socialist.
I knew one "progressive" here at work who talked about listening to his 'socialy responsible programs' on Pacifica and Public Radio.
It made me gag....he is a heck of nice guy but all messed up. He thinks dumping other peoples money on social problems fixes them...makes them better. He can not get past the notion that if you give away money, it has the opposite effect on the taker. It makes them weak, useless and shiftless.
'Progressives' are so not progressive, as to make the concept laughable.
I sometimes wonder who really represents my traditional values.
