Very true. And once again everyone will switch political parties because, as in the past, the Democratic party will become the new Republican party and vice versa. Something interesting, the Democratic party used to be known as the Democratic-Republican party. Interestingly, the original 'liberal Democratic party stance' was based on Harry Truman's 'Fair Deal' which included national health insurance. I don't think any of his proposals passed congress though.

>The problem with 'progressive versus conservative' is that it all depends on what the current mainstream is. At the moment that a so-called progressive political party has reached all its goals, it will become a conservative party, because it will set as its new goal the preservation of the status quo.
