>I find it interesting that the left has hijacked the term "progressive." That was a smart move :o) The right on the other hand is labeled all sorts of things. Since most folks fall somewhere in between the two parties (agree with a little there and a little here, etc), what is the current term for that? :o) Here it is not Independent because there actually is a political party labeled "Independent" so if you register as an Independent, you are joining a political party. The only true independent voter registration here is "non-affiliated."

Don't you think the right has usually hijacked patriotism, the flag, law and order, defense etc. the list could go on.
