So when we discuss progressivism, please remember it was originally Robert M. LaFollete (a republican) who split off and created the progressive view.. Fiscal conservatism, strong foreign policy, and a few liberal views comprise the progressive view... He's against the bail-out.. Some progressives tend to believe that the economy is fake as all should know..
The whole bail-out 'thing' is very disturbing. It is so very interesting, also, to see the timing of dramatic decreases in gas prices.
"...I wish I had access to an IBM Blue Gene/P-Model supercomputer. At nearly 1000 teraflops, the Blue Gene could render all kinds of goodies - in parallel,..."
This beauty could run "The Entire Internet" as a minor sub-routine!
Check out Dr. Ray Kurzweil. Talk to "Ramona" she?/it? can engage in any conversation in any language on any topic.
"DIGITAL". The Military do not respond to legal restraints! Duty Forbids!
24/7/365, 360 degree scope!;-)
Now that's what I call a truly principled and courageous progressive.
Have you been keeping track of the Obama airplane anomalies? Mechanical trouble, flying in to the wrong airport? That's funny, right?
He's the Robin Hood of the senate. His rebellion is enough to keep us contained by making us feel we're being represented. It's a role he plays very well, as you so accurately pointed out.
I'm underwhelmed.
And Wellstone, though a great progressive, wasn't any more effective than Feingold. He wasn't able to stop the Iraq war authorization from passing, and he actually voted for the Patriot Act. Would you call him the "Robin Hood of the Senate" as well?
Feingold was the first senator to introduce a timeline for withdrawal from Iraq, pushing the Senate to adopt timelines and to defund the war with several bills he introduced. He was the first senator to call for censure of Bush after the illegal wiretapping program was revealed. And of course, he has a 100% progressive record on economic and social issues as well. As you can see, Feingold has not only consistently voted like a true progressive, he is also a leader.
And before you snidely insult Feingold, please educate yourself about his Senate record. Feingold was the only member of the Senate to vote against the Patriot Act, at great risk to his political career. He has been consistently the staunchest opponent of the Iraq war,
