Poll question: John Kerry: Left-Wing, Moderate, or Right-Wing?

Edited on Fri Nov-19-04 05:56 PM by St. Jarvitude

ConservativeDemocrat's post got me to thinking: how many DUers actually believe John Kerry is "right wing"?

I say to associate John Kerry - an honorable man - with those thugs is to erode the meaning of "right wing" - a phrase which describes chickenshit, hate-mongering, advocates of social injustice, class division, and unnecessary, damaging, pre-emptive war.

Just remember who's on the right wing:

Rush Limbaugh
Michael Savage
Hannity (and the Hannitybots)
Dick Cheney
*
Rick Santorum
Jerry Falwell
Pat Robertson

John Kerry is:

8. A Radical Is A Fundamentalist ... It Has Nothing To Do With Religion

Radical comes from the word root... A radical wants to see root or fundamental change in the system....

A liberal accepts the current system and wants to reform it...

I favor a government that has free markets and a strong safety net and also provides the maximum choice in the personal sphere....

7. All definitions are up in the air now. Bush certainly

isn't what I always thought of as Conservative.

Democrats are now the fiscal "conservatives" or responsible ones.

Which party is now for states rights?

Which party is trying to impose its ideas of "political correctness" or "moral values" on others?

Foreign policy? Who fits where and what even is the spectrum after witnessing the radical policies of BushCo?
