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.

Oh God!

Mitt Romney: "I was an independent during the time of Reagan-Bush. I'm not trying to return to Reagan-Bush."

Mitt Romney: "I'm not a partisan politician. My hope is that, after this election, it will be the moderates of both parties who will control the Senate, not the Jesse Helmses."

Mitt Romney:"One issue I want to clarify concerns President Clinton’s “don’t ask, don’t tell, don’t pursue” military policy. I believe that the Clinton compromise was a step in the right direction. I am also convinced that it is the first of a number of steps that will ultimately lead to gays and lesbians being able to serve openly and honestly in our nation’s military. That goal will only be reached when preventing discrimination against gays and lesbians is a mainstream concern, which is a goal we share."

Mitt Romney:"These guns are not made for recreation or self-defense," "They are instruments of destruction with the sole purpose of hunting down and killing people."
