Kerry who has the most liberal voting record of any Senator year in and year out denies he is a liberal. Well Kerry hasn't got "the most liberal voting record of any Senator year in and year out". He got that award in one year by some magazine that measures it, and the GOP has spun it into your statement above. Congratulations, you have fallen for the GOP spin as well!

Why is it that liberals (yourself excepted) are afraid to wear the mantel of their afflictions? In the last twenty years, the GOP has made liberal a dirty word. They have falsely accused liberals of certain behaviors and unfortunately, those accusations have stuck with public perception. Its a rather disgusting vendetta that I was unaware of until I started posting on this thread. Kerry who has the most liberal voting record of any Senator year in and year out denies he is a liberal. He misrepresents his positions to give the impression that he is a moderate. You and other GOPers keep saying that but the survey I saw showed him ranking mostly in the 80s with an occasional foray into the 90s.........100 being the most liberal. Having said that, I think he might also be pulling a GW Bush. You remember in 2000 Bush's mantra.........the compassionate conservative. That made Bush look like a moderate. However, his administration has proven to be anything but moderate. Why is Bush unwilling to portray himself as coming from the radical right? Why did he present mostly moderate GOPers to America at the GOP convention? The answer to those questions probably will provide you with the reason for Kerry's positioning. Al Gore by all accounts is as Socialist as Hillary Clinton at the core. He ran in 2000 as a moderate candidate.* Neither of which are terribly socialist. Too many people misuse these terms.......liberal, socialism, communism etc. *Hillary Clinton is most likely much more liberal than even John Kerry. She appears to be grooming herself for a run at the Whitehouse in 2008 after she helps Kerry fail in 2004. She does not want her Senate voting record to be hung around her neck like a tire around an Arastide antagonist. She probably believes that the liberal press will have lost their usefulness after knocking themselves out trying to elect Kerry. That's the theory. What happens if Kerry gets elected? ted
