PROGRESSIVE MAJORITY

Hi Gordon,

Re: Seriously, what is the Progressive Party (and it's platform), and who are it's candidates or representatives?

Historically, the Progressive Movement grew out of disgust with the Robber Barons of Wall Street in the first decade of the 20th Century. Perhaps the most famous of the founders of the Progressive Movement was Republican Senator Robert LaFollette of Wisconsin.

Unlike King George, LaFollette was an honest man who cared deeply about this nation and the depredations of Wall Street against the welfare of the citizens of the nation.

Today, Progressivism is all but dead in the Republican Party. Sen. Jim Jeffords was perhaps the best example of the Progressive Republican until he could no longer participate in the Rape of America that the GOP leadership is imposing today.
