70. I guess your definition of progressive and mine are two different things
Progressive to me IS liberal. Because, the right-wing highjacked the word, redefined it (just like they did Clinton) and made it a negative.

Progressive is our answer to that: an open minded person willing to see all sides of an issue, to fight for civil rights and worker's rights, and to focus on the issues global warming as well as other liberal issues.

To suggest that Clinton is not a progressive IS partisan. Indeed the irony of your post to suggest that you are not partisan while the foundation of it is nothing more than partisan. You ignore Clinton's progressive work on issues through out her life.

You ignore the supporters fights in their home towns for progressive issues. And you stand on your soap box and attempt to highjack the word, re-define it, and claim it as your own, as you close your mind, and exclude.

Whatever.
