In reply to the discussion: Guess who’s not coming to dinner? [View all]merrily
(45,251 posts)16. It is time for a moderate President? What do they think Obama is?
The 1% are desperate to convince everyone that this is a center right nation.
I would rather see a poll on how many New Democrats and how many liberals post here.
Many people seem to use "progressive" as a synonym for liberal, but it is not.
The Democratic Leadership Council (DLC) was a non-profit 501(c)(4) corporation[1] founded in 1985 that, upon its formation, argued the United States Democratic Party should shift away from the leftward turn it took in the late 1960s, 1970s, and 1980s. The DLC hails President Bill Clinton as proof of the viability of third way politicians and as a DLC success story.
The DLC's affiliated think tank is the Progressive Policy Institute. Democrats who adhere to the DLC's philosophy often call themselves New Democrats. This term is also used by other groups who have similar views on where the party should go in the future, like NDN[2] and Third Way.[3]

Hillary didn't screw Dean. That's just absurd. Dean screwed Dean, and he'd be the first to say so.

Too hard to say when I don't know what you mean any more than you know what I meant ;)
