IT'S NOT ABOUT PARTISANSHIP

mph,

Re: gee, your comments sound suspiciously like "partisan


Not partisan at all. It's got to do with honesty, integrity and putting the citizens of this great nation ahead of the interests of fat cats, criminal white-collar fraudsters and the bribed and paid-for politicians who are ruining this nation. One of my greatest heroes in American politics is was a Republican, Senator Robert LaFollette of Wisconsin. Here's something about the matter:

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.

"""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""
PROGRESSIVE MAJORITY is an umbrella organization for sane public policy. Here's a list of the fine Progressives who serve on the advisory board:


Members:

Senator Jon Corzine (D-NJ)
Senator Paul Wellstone (D-MN)

So mph,

It is not about partisanship. It is about integrity, honesty, government for the welfare of the people and not government for the welfare of the Corporate Queens and their whores on Wall Street.
