LOL. It really doesn't matter if we're the odd man out. We're the only one still standing.

Wherever we came from we are sure having trouble with whatever it was we were supposed to be doing.

So that is what "progressive" means. I was always wondering just where Libs were progressing to, now I can see it. What idiots!
