You gotta wonder what a liberal and a conservative really are. Word meanings change and evolve.

He's more on our side than the other side. That's all I really know. By how much? That I couldn't tell you.

We'll know by the end of his term, I think. Social Security will be the final test.

Do you see any rethugs doing that? Yes, it's honest. There are different degrees of liberals, and he may not be yours; he has to try to appeal to the entire country.

It's not really what I think that matters. It's how he views himself. And I don't think he considers himself a Liberal.

(Though I'm damn glad it's back in fashion.)
