  •  What haven't you seen evidence of? (none / 1)

    Casey's lack of progressive stances? Have you bothered to look?

    •  I've seen his progressive stances (3.33 / 3)

      I haven't seen Joe Hoeffel back away from calling Casey a progressive.

      If every poster on this thread gave Chuck $5, it would be an above-average fundraising day.

      •  go ahead and list them (4.00 / 5)

        Chuck listed a bunch of issues where Bob is not a progressive:
        • stem cell research
        • death penalty
        • U.S. policy in Iraq
        • the assault weapons ban
        • separation of church and state
        • living wage legislation
        • universal health care
        • GLBT rights
        • preserving an independent judiciary (Terry Schiavo case)
        • drilling for oil in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge

        I'm familiar with his stance on workers' rights. On which other issues IS he Casey progressive?

      •  The point is... (4.00 / 2)

        Casey is NOT a progressive.  He is FOR the Federal Defense of Marriage Act (Philly Daily News interview), was for invading Iraq, is a favorite son of the NRA, and is more for the death penalty than even santorum is.  Watch the Worldview piece for his stand on stem cell research.
