I think you need to check out his website a little more thoroughly. I don’t know why people keep painting him as a liberal... I also find it interesting that you would use the word “progressive”. I honestly don’t EVER remember anyone using that word to describe RINOs before... Liberal, RINO yes, but not “progressive”.
I think the word “progressive” fits in quite well w/ people like Sen. Juan McCain & el Presidente Bush. Teddy Roosevelt played an important part of the Progressive movement of the early 20th century, & McCain has heaped praise on TR several times. Glenn Beck has mentioned that about TR also, saying that he himself used to respect TR before he began to learn the truth about the Progressives — a few days ago he said that he now uses his bust of TR as a door stop.
