Six inch grouping at 300 yards... I know damn well who would win.

P.S. Your assumptions are pure pigshit.

You have a microscopic dick nates, your wife told me so.

Goes a long way to explain your constant fellatio of Bush, and dead Bonzo. You ain't fooling anybody here, much less me.

5. not full supporting same-sex marriage: respectful or arrogant?
6. not supporting drug liberalization: novative or afraid of new ideas?

Based on that, are there any true progressives in Washington?

Neither party is forward looking, innovative, pragmatic, fair, respectful or patriotic.

Both parties are short-sighted, afraid of new ideas, closed-minded, selfish, arrogant and xenophobic.

It will probably be difficult for MAQA yahoos to overcome the Qult programming but they should give being rational & reasonable a try.

Progressive is nothing more than a new name for Liberals...

They understand marketing...liberal is not accepted...so they simply change the brand name to Progressive...

Progressives do not exist in our political system. It's the Haves and Have Nots. Want to take a look at a Regressive...watch Glenn Beck.

I'm not too sure if a lack of support for something means you are arrogant or xenophobic (for example). I'll all for legal immigration, but just because I think people should emigrate legally, doesn't mean I have an irrational fear of those that don't. :twocents: :coffee:

Hence Wedgie's unexamined assumptions are pure pigshit.

Looks to me, from reading your little chart, that the Democrats are not Progressives.

Look at all the people responding to a thread purporting to stimulate debate, but actually just intended to be snarky and insulting.

Why don't we start one titled, "Conservatives vs. Cocksuckers..."?

Wedgie is often serious without offering substance.

On the other hand, once in a while he makes a hilarious post!

Nice if it were that simple. In fact, it would be nice enough if politicians were actually about ideas and principles. Too bad it's really about constituencies, votes and power.

No one wants to be regressive. Wedge's point is that we are all way further left than we pretend. :thumb:

At least you sometimes make the attempt at substance when you do your analyses, and you quote enough history to get some of it right. I suppose Edgie is striving for substance and insight once in a while, but he consistently fails.
