His voting record was not nearly the "most liberal senator" at all.

well when the democrats were all in the primaries , the networks labeled him as the most liberal senator in the sneate .....on a vote for vote basis it's hard to compare as he had a thin record...but to name a few that are more to the right than him are schumer, clinton , biden , dodd , kerry , edwards (former sen from nc) were all to the right on him based just on the iraq vote

here is the list riot

He did have a thin voting record (which bothered me alot during the primaries). But I really can't see him as a "true" liberal on the majority of issues. We disagree

you are blind to any facts put infront of your face. He had the most liberal voting record in congress but you say he wasnt a "true" liberal. Just like you have the most liberal posting record in DT but you are a true "republican".

I guess you will disagree with Michael Moore too. You'd think a radical liberal like him would know a liberal when they see one. I'm guessing he would think you are one too.

The humorous thing about your months of repeatedly calling me a liberal is that you do it because you really do consider it a slur

I have called plenty of people here liberals, and none of them seem to take offense. Except for you. You just have a confused political identity. I'm here to try to guide you to your rightful place on the left as a liberal.

Oh, then you can relax, as I will repeat yet again that I am not offended, simply amused at your constant, dependable return to the subject

Where did that term come from? Seems like Progressive is a much more accurate term for the goals involved. I've always considered Liberal to be the opposite of strict. So, in that way, I think people on the right have tried to sell Liberals as being undisciplined with their kids etc. It's pretty clever. They somehow get a loose morals aspect involved. They do what they do for a reason, and that term isn't going away. I don't like the term ( not that it matters, or anything.) I think it has double meanings, and they know it. Liberal can be an adjective, or a noun. One of the definitions of it (as an adjective) is loose. So, I am not saying the Right started using the term. Someone else probably did, but don't look for them to ever give that term up. It has all the negative multiple meanings they want to involve, and they will never give that up. It's an advantage. Guess I wouldn't give it up, either (if I was them.)
