Progressives.
Is that what they call themselves these days?
...to 1968.
LOL!
Take Back America?
How about "Let's win some elections"??
You know - present some ideas and candidates that the majority of voting Americans can get behind and appreciate.
I thought they were all doing Yearly Kos just now. Aren't they going to get burned out on all that partying and Bush-bashing?
S0unds like it's t00 late t0 m0ve t0 Canada. Maybe they sh0uld c0nsider m0ving t0 Mexic0.
There's n0 need t0 win electi0ns when 0ne can declare vict0ry after vict0ry while l0sing. Remember that K0s is 0 0f twenty. PERFECT!
Hah.....not by any of these wimps.
;-)
You can't "take back" what you never really had.
Just like "gun buybacks" are misnamed, since the government didn't own your guns before you did.

Actually, "Progressive" is something that the Communist Party USA came up with in the thirties or forties, when they wanted to be recognized as something other than what they were.
Some things never change.
Doncha just love the word "progressive"? I mean it sounds like progress.
Unfortunately when the left uses it, it means going backwards into oppressive communism.
My doggie, Lola, read this over my shoulder...she is on the floor on her back, paws in the air and she is laughing hysterically!!!!
God, is she smart!
what a bunch of losers...and at the Hilton...yeah , that's where the masses sleep in DC. ha.
Ah, yes, "progressive", that unfortunate word implanted upon America by Theodore Roosevelt.
Thanks, Teddy.
They mean Take OVER America.
It ain't gonna happen you commie bastards.
Straight from the Stalinist School of Deceivers and Believers. They certainly are lining up their soldiers into tight fighting machines. Work, learn, fight. That will be their life from now until election day.
Meanwhile, back at the RNC..Frist may be running for President, if that's okay with everybody..Specter is calling for hearings on everything that makes Democrats unhappy..Ann Coulter is making Republicans everywhere p*ss their pants in fear..McCain wants to install a border gate..
But we should call them for who they are, Godless Communists.
Better yet, call the Democrat scum and vermin what they really are, Traitors and guilty of Treason against these United States. End of story!!
Yes, and think about this group whenever you see a Progressive Insurance Company commercial....the guy that owns it is a big player in this "movement"..
We USED to have Progressive, wouldn't have it now, if it was half price of what I pay now.
Anything with Katrina VanDen Heuvel is WAYYYYYYYYYYYY Left.
How many times have they tried to do this, five, ten, more?
Not that they would run on it if they had one they could all sign on to. Republicans could end up with filibuster proof margins in both houses.
