Reply #137: Dean is not a liberal. I am not a liberal. [View All]

Many of those working with DFA are Republicans, for goodness sake. You are doing just like Bush, starting from a false premise, and presenting your evidence accordingly.

Dean never governed as a liberal. He never said so. The difference is that he believes in speaking out when our country is doing something wrong. The DLC and the other candidates, except for Kucinich, do not believe in confronting head on any issues with the GOP.

They believe you can be non-confrontational and win. I no longer believe that.

I get very tired of being treated here as a crazy liberal. In 2002 on this same board, I was accused of being too moderate. I have not changed. Thus that means the forum has moved right. As Dean said to Nagourney a couple of years ago.....if the DLC is accusing him of being too liberal then one can only imagine how far right they have moved.

If I were especially liberal, as opposed to more moderate, I would wear the label proudly.
