and Ann Coulter loves gays now
I think she still likes Mitt, so she didn’t want to call him a “progressive” but what else could he be called after MA’s failed “Romney-care”?
Was the word they used actually progressive? Because if so, it’s true - Romney isn’t progressive at all. Progressives should not be confused with liberals - indeed, much confusion results especially at sites like dailykos when this mistake is made.
Progressives are people who pay lip service to nice ideals. They don’t actually endorse those ideals or support them - but paying lip service to those ideals allows them to feel superior to everyone else. Progressives are all for something - or at least say they are - until there’s a possibility it might actually happen, at which point they start coming up with excuses for why it shouldn’t be done.
By that standard, Romney is no progressive. He is a liberal - because he actually tries to implement his ideals instead of just talking about them.
I tuned her blabbing out long ago.
OK, so she's a fellow traveler too. Her radio show, her unfunny puns and her voice couldn't be more irritating.
The question might be better asked of Glen.
Mitt’s an R +/-, but far from progressive in my world
Laura’s a strong conservative who has not gone soft.
She simply likes him. I did too at first, and could again if he was our nominee ....especially given our financial situation.
On further reflection, Beck has called McCain a progressive,
so I suppose Mitt could qualify according to GB.
isnt Romney the one who helped make the big healthcare mess in his state..
Pro gay marriage
Pro gays in the military
Pro choice
Romneycare
Pro big government
Pro gun control
Anti 2nd Amendment
Anti personal responsibility
Anti American
Anti military
Anti Ronald Reagan
Multiple faced liar
Not the dictionary definition of progress, but he is definitely what is known in politics as a progressive, otherwise known as liberal.
ObamaCare = RomneyCare.
FUMR!!
Laura is part of the “beltway crowd” of Conservatives who can trace their political alliegance lineage all the way back to the RIchard NixOn.
Nixon wowed em up with his “law and order” views in the days of the anti-war hippies and riots.
The Nixon Administration attacked the liberal media, too. Nixon’s FCC issued a Fairness Doctrine ruling against NBC over a news documentary on pensions.
This was raw meat to those conservatives while Nixon detented the Soviets and “opened up” China, cut the “peace” in Vietnam with communist liars. Here at home the government got bigger with the EPA being created.
Nixon had a young media guy working for him named Roger Ailes.
“Fair and Balanced” has its roots in the Richard Nixon attack on the media that attacked Nixon with passion.
This is one of the reasons I no longer listen to her. Romney-cheerleading is a sure sign of phoniness.
Wilson was a Progressive, so was Teddy Roosevelt after his presidency, FDR was a Progressive, Obama is a Marxist/Progressive. Romney is a RINO.

AUDIO: Laura discusses The Obama Diaries on The Glenn Beck Program
Posted by Staff
(related to race 5:25 min + on Christy, Romney, Newt, Perry — ) ...AUDIO in FULL
I didn’t take from the discussion/interview what you did ‘entirely’ so found the FULL audio. People can
hear the actual interview, and then comment.
You can define Romney any way you like but the bottom line is he is pro socialized health care that is destroying Massachusetts and will destroy the country if not stopped. That’s all I need to know about Romney.
I'm even worried about Sarah Palin.. shes too friendly with republican progressives..
Course she could be a PollyAnna.. or Dorothy in OZ.. (whatever)
Has the BORG landed in Washington D.C.?..
The HIVE seems to taken over most political activity.. both parties..
Machine politics seems to be the rule..
Only intelligent life could be Glen Beck.. but then hes a devotee of MORONI..
Help!.. any other intelligent life out there?.. /snarkosaurus..
Mitt Romney isn’t progressive. He isn’t liberal. He isn’t conservative.
Mitt Romney is a sociopath who will say anything to get himself elected.
Mitt Romney doesn’t believe in anything at all period. The only firm belief Mitt Romney has is that he deserves to get himself elected.
I did find someone that I enjoy listening to, though. On XM Radio at noon eastern time (channel 166) there is a guy named Andrew Wilkow. Straight up Conservative. Takes no crap off liberals at all.
Romney is not a ‘Progressive’ in the liberal Democrat sense of the word. He’s just more liberal than many conservatives would like.
