Progressive? I see Newt wanting to return as many functions as possible back to the states, deregulate, tort reform, neuter the fed, ELIMINATE the EPA, privatize social security and medicare (and return them to the states and the people), cut taxes, reduce the deficit, and balance the budget. All look like great plans to me.

Newt has famously called Prez. T.Roosevelt and Prez.Wilson (two famous progressives) his mentors.. and he has not backed down from that.. Newt knows exactly who those people are..
I do admit that Newt "SAYS" things I want to hear though..
Zero didnt fool me though I knew he was a lying bastard.. and would do the opposite of what he said.. because hes a democrat.. There are many republican progressives.. (like Romney).. and as I've said ... nOOt..
I'm not sure of Perry, CAin and Hunstman.. they may be as well.. The only ones I'm almost sure of is Bachmann and Paul.. and Paul may be a bit off his rocker..
