Sen. William Proxmire, the Original Free Liberal?

To simply quote from this article on the recent passing of Senator William Proxmire. "He was a philosophical anomaly, voting like a Kennedy on civil rights, the Vietnam War, the environment and the death penalty, but often expressing skepticism about federal programs." Sounds like a close approximation of the Free Liberal philosophy to me. He could also teach today's Republicans and Democrats a few lessons about freedom and fiscal responsibility.

-- Paul Gessing

Free-for-all (frfr-ôl) -- n. A disorderly fight, argument, or competition in which everyone present participates.
