There has been a change in the direction of the major political parties over the years. But the accepted progenitor of the Progressive movement is Woodrow Wilson. Now that I have gotten that far I wonder if you are caught in the Progressive "trap", equating "Progressive" with progress? They are in no way equivalent!
BTB Woodrow was a democrat.

Actually I used the word in the way the rest of the modern world uses the word to refer to the movement of social progressivism:

One has to be careful when using words that are rather overused, and refer to multiple movements each with different ideologies values and beliefs.

For example: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Progres...arty_of_Canada

Progressive has a radically different meaning in this context, the one I am most familiar with.
