Will Democrats losing big in 2014 help or hurt Hillary

31. Progressive: one who wants to move this country forward. Regressive: one who doesn't.

Cutting one's nose to spite one's face ain't ever helped "Liberals" and their agenda. It's why it took this truly progressive president and all his political capital to push through universal health care and expand Medicaid for the poor and working poor, among many, many other things he's done to push this country forward despite being excoriated by self-proclaimed "Progressives". Progressives support progress, however incremental. That's why I'm a Progressive and can safely and proudly call myself one.

You appear to make the classic mistake of conflating Liberals with Progressives. Although at times Liberals can be progressive, it's not always {or usually} the case. Sometimes, through their stringent purity rules, they are actually REgressives. They don't care if this country moves forward {progresses} if the policies and variables to make that happen aren't "pure" enough, in their not so humble opinions. They'd happily not vote {voting or not voting out of one's "conscience" because, well, they are more important than the country} if they feel the candidate isn't towing their line. The GOP is more than happy for such "Progressives".

So, a person who thinks {maybe even believes} he's a Progressive but who actually works much like the Teapublicans {purity test} by undermining the power of the Democrats in Gov't because they're not "liberal enough" {I'm thinking here, Dennis Kucinich supporters} are empowering the true Regressives in the Republican Party.

And you know what's so sad? They don't even see it.

And as far as working in 2010, unless you spent more than $4,000 and more than 500 hours volunteering, then you did less than I did in 2010. And we got shellacked here anyway.

It is very, very, VERY hard for me to believe that after having read your anti-Obama posts. Very hard. So you'll forgive me that I don't believe you.
