[Sosfbay-discuss] progressives and libertarians ... a match made in heaven?

[Gerry Gras]

 From a list in Vermont that includes Greens and Progressives.
(NOTE: Vermont has a Progressive Party that is bigger than
the Vermont Green Party, and has won some state legislature
seats.)

I've long believed that liberatarians and progressives
(small 'l' and 'p', not captalized) had more in common
with each other than generally realized.  I found the
following to be an interesting adjunct to that concept:
"Libertarian Party candidates may have cost Senators
Jim Talent (R.-Mo.) and Conrad Burns (R.-Mont.) their
seats, tipping the Senate to Democratic control."

I bring this up to point something else I believe: while
the liberatarians are willing to flout their muscle and
get pushier because of the political power implied by the
above article, I find most progressives get timid under
similiar circumstances. Time for the agressive progressive
maybe?

Of course this is all just my opinion, but it's a strong one,
