If someone were to lie that Hillary's "really" a Socialist or Communist, would we have to invent SINO or CINO, too?

Then again this brings us back to the definition of "Progressive," which, IMO, is a very deliberately "fudge-y" term designed to make traditional Democrats feel better about New Democrats.
