Betrayal? Woolsey’s Baffling Endorsement of ‘Blue Dog’ Harman Riles Progressives

More heat emerges from Winograd vs. Harman primary contest…

Rep. Lynn Woolsey (D-CA), co-chair of the Congressional Progressive Caucus (CPC) and board member of Progressive Democrats of America (PDA), has confounded progressives by joining forces to support notorious “Blue Dog” Democratic Rep. Jane Harman in her upcoming primary re-match against PDA-backed Marcy Winograd, long time leader in the grassroots progressive organization.

On the Full Political Spectrum

June 10, 2009 at 8:56 am What party should someone join who is socially liberal (or progressive) but economically conservative? There used to be a significant wing of the Republican Party that filled this niche, but has not existed since the rise of the Reagan Cult.Such a person will not be terribly comfortable in the Democratic Party either. It points up our extreme need to move to multiparty democracy.have a peaceful day,
