This paragraph about sums it up: I'm no George W. cheerleader myself, as regular readers of NRO can attest, but I'm more convinced than ever now of how dangerous the Kerry-Edwards Democrats really are. This is not Bill Clinton's party — I don't care what Hillary and Al Hunt say. The façade of New Democrat moderation has been stripped to the bone. Every Democrat pundit I have spoken to here has stressed John Kerry's moderation and fiscal-conservative credentials. Kerry will be just like Clinton on the economy, they say. But Clinton ran as a free trader; Kerry campaigned in the primaries against free trade. Clinton signed into law a cut in the capital-gains tax; Kerry promises to raise it. Clinton supported welfare reform; Kerry has voted against it. Clinton was a moderate governor; Kerry is the number one liberal in the Senate. If Kerry can carry off this New Democrat label, then I'm Michael Jordan Jr. with a 40-inch vertical leap about to play for the U.S. Olympic dream-team in Athens. Comment: If the Democrats really believe that the liberal agenda is shared by the majority of Americans, why not just be up-front about their positions? Instead, they're presenting a phony package, intentionally designed to mislead. There's nothing wrong with having a liberal agenda. I just think they should own up to it.
