Reply #39: What is a progressive?

[lyonn]

Whoever Dean is I like his thinking and approach to getting the votes for the Democrats. The Alito vote was such a hot button issue that it bent some thinking. We need Dean! What are we looking for, perfection? Dean hits most issues that the dems care about. The Liebermans of the party should get scrutiny, see who is competing with them. Of course we'd rather have a Lieberman than a Roy Blunt. But the far right leaning dems need a "party check", meaning debate.

This labeling of people gets tiresome. On some issues, few tho, I lean right. As time goes by I do get more radically left and must be aware of going to the extreme.
