MY Republican party? What is YOUR party? My party right now is Independent and my vote will be ABO!!!! If you seriously think all the Republicans since Reagan were “progressives” you are delusional. Granted, they are NOT the conservatives we want, but they are not progressives.
Your definition of progressive and mine must be different. The republicans have been almost as much to blame for America's woes today as the dims... because when they COULD have done something about it... they didn't. They just kept on spending and and growing government. bush and his daddy were both one world order, big government progressives. boehner and mcconnell are both progressive... so is cantor. The House IS better than the Senate. As a matter of fact... the majority of the republican senators are progressives.
