I think the way the system is set up now we will never see a progressive again just less right than the right wing extremists.

What draws you to a progressive ideology?
I think I'm a Libertarian. I like the idea of people being free to do as they want with minimal govt. interference in their lives.
Seems the Republicans preach freedom...but only for the things they like. They sure do seem to NOT like freedom when it comes to partying or what you do in your bedroom or a woman's right to choose.
And the Democrats....I don't really know what the heck they stand for anymore. When I was a kid THEY were the racist war-mongering politicians. Then they became the "liberals" in the late 1970's.
But they don't really seem to have any backbone in giving people freedom. At least Jimmy Carter had the guts to say pot should be decriminalized. But he didn't have the balls to actually DO it.
It seems like all the Republicans and Dems want to do is grow the govt. (the Republicans say differently, but the reality is they are exactly like the Dems) and control everything from Washington D.C. so they can get their greedy hands on it.
10.6 BILLION dollars a day is what the federal govt. spends. 6.85 million dollars PER MINUTE 24 hours a day, every day.
It's outrageous.
The Feds spend more in 30 minutes than Mitt Romneys entire wealth.
Warren Buffet is worth 44 Billion dollars. The feds spend that in 4 days.
