>Now it's your turn. What's a "modern liberal"?

Heh. Fair enough. So many politicians shy away from the term "liberal" because it's been dragged through the mud for the last 40 years. But the ones that I like -- Barbara Edwards, Alan Grayson, Jonathan Tasini (the dude I'm backing), Sherrod Brown, Bernie Sanders, et al -- would all proudly describe themselves as liberals. And I think every single one of them would fit into your description of a "fiscal conservative." Yet not a one would call him or herself a "conservative."

And would any of today's "conservatives" fit your "fiscal conservative" description? I'd think not.
