When are we
going to stop referring to people as "progressive democrats" and refer to them for what they are. PROGRESSIVE.
Is it time for us to disassociate ourselves with democrats and start referring ourselves as progressives. THE PROGRESSIVE PARTY?
Isn't it time to start a legitimate third party that represents the vast majority of Americans? Let's face it, the democratic and the republican parties are just different wings of the same bird. Both genuflect to their corporate sponsors and place themselves far above common folk who desire nothing more than to be treated fairly and be included in what is supposed to be the Constitution of the United States.

What is happening is a travesty with the so called democrats siding with the repubs to kill any legislation that could force an end to this horror that the "president" calls a fight for freedom and democracy. Why do they ignore the wishes of the majority of Americans who want this war ended?
Why do they vote to continue the horrendous act of torturing people to get the "truth"?

Why do they not vote to impeach the Vice President and the President for blatant high crimes and misdemeanors?

Why do they put up with the crone ism of this administration?

They are cut of the same cloth!

There are a few out there that are genuinely trying to do what is best for the American people. God I love them and I donate to their campaigns even though I know they will never be elected. At least they will not be elected until we quit standing under the same umbrella of warm fuzziness and assert ourselves as "PROGRESSIVES" so the fires of righteousness are started so the citizens can start taking our country back from the Elites.

We must do this. It is obvious that the two party system is not working, at least with the two parties that we now have.

I know that 99% of you people are smarter than I am and I cannot communicate the way I would like to, but damn it somebody else must realize this and be able to get people excited about the possibility of a REAL third party.

Help me out here. I am getting desperate as I see our beautiful country sinking into fascism right under our noses.
PLEASE HELP!:patriot:
