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.

TPP and Keystone are the other two, at least for me.

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.)
