Katherine Harris describes herself as a "progressive conservative," DLC

[flpoljunkie]

also using this term...What the hell is going on here? Frank Luntz focus group polling? George Lakoff framing?

Harris described herself as a progressive conservative and said Nelson has one of the most liberal voting records in the Senate.

VALUING PATRIOTISM

by Will Marshall

American voters know that 9/11 put national security back at the center of politics. Democrats should unify behind a new progressive patriotism.

Katherine Harris. The woman who foisted Bush on us.

[deadparrot]

;)

[punpirate]

3. Hell, it's just like her description of herself in 2000...

Anyone tested her for disassociative schizophrenia lately? :P

[Ksec]

4. a stupid genuis?

a fence sitter who lies ..even about who she is...

[htuttle]

10. Harris is in her passive activist phase...

:crazy:

[Vickers]

11. That's weird, because *I* always describe her as a "delusional assclown"

:shrug:

I'm sure there's a fundamental difference, but I'm too tired to try and think what it is right now.

[NMDemDist2]

19. ROFL

too funny!

:rofl:

[Hippo_Tron]

45. LMAO that's great

[GreenPartyVoter]

12. Progressive? Is she for environmental protection, civil rights,

universal healthcare, cradle-to-grave public education, publicly funded transparent elections, and using the military only as a very last resort EVER???

No? Some progressive she is!

[Doo_Revolution]

13. Here's the truth and facts about Will Marshall.

http://rightweb.irc-online.org/ind/marshall/marshall.php

http://rightweb.irc-online.org/org/pnac.php

Will Marshall of the DLC is as far from democratic as the earth is from the moon. He's a member of PNAC, and so up is down and backwards is fowards. Harris is a progressive, and the moon is made of cheese in this universe.

14. Thanks for the links and welcome to DU

[delhurgo]

15. I just heard her say "progressive conservative" on Hardball too. nm

[Guaranteed]

25. So it wasn't an accident.

This is ridiculous! LOL

[VioletLake]

16. It's a good sign

that they covet the word. Shows how much they think it's worth.

They need it to mask the stink of the words they're stuck with.

[gokar]

17. Yeah right.....Katherine is also ugly good looking lol

21. She's pretty well preserved for a woman of 75

Too bad she doesn't make any sense when she talks.

I hope she's the candidate after the primaries.

22. OMG.... a 3rd grader could have done better !!!

I've never seen Harris in a lengthy interview until just now.. What a total and complete IDIOT !!

This is going to be fun.. NOMINATE HER REPUBLICANS !!!!!!!!!

[gatorboy]

26. "Most liberal voting records in the Senate."

Not this tired old line again.

So what is he? 1? 2? 37?

Didn't Kerry have the most liberal voting record not too long ago? Oy.

[snowbear]

28. harris is a shrew. I hope they piss a billion dollars down that hole

and take a big ass loss. Perhaps that will be the end of harris.

[iwantmycountryback]

29. That makes zero sense

When she said that I thought she was using them to like compare the 2. She seemed to be high throughout the interview however and sounded like a teenage girl.

[snowbear]

30. You're 100% right.....

She did sound like Rush had slipped her a few Oxycontins... She was slurring her words pretty badly! :crazy:

32. Oh brother

Looks like someone is desperate because the political winds are blowing.

[TankLV]

33. She also claimed she was impartial and non-partisan during the coup.

SHE WAS THE FUCKING CAMPAIGN CHAIR OF THE REPUKES BUNKERBOY CAMPAIGN IN FLORIDA!

[agincourt]

35. Ok I get it,

She'd rather take us back to 1870, rather than 1840.

[ChiciB1]

36. Katherine Harris Is

Delusional!! Nelson IS NOT, has NEVER BEEN a LIBERAL!! Very far from it!

I wish the Democrats had a better candidate with MORE Liberal views. He's so so DINO!!

Anyway, why all this stuff about Cruella???

[ChiciB1]

37. Madfloridian... Time To Bring Out That Info On Nelson

VERY VERY NOT A LIBERAL!!

[JerseygirlCT]

38. Nope. She's an oxymoran nt

[blueblitzkrieg]

39. The woman has NOTHING going on upstairs.

Anyone who saw her pathetic interview on H & C knows that...she's a disgrace.

[graywarrior]

40. I've seen her debate. She has to read her responses.

[Submariner]

41. She must mean her progressive mams
