Clinton: Obama too liberal

It appears to me that this whole charge re: consistency on single-payer is simply an attempt to paint Obama as too liberal, while appearing to be making comments re: consistency (though that's a loser too, as it's hard to understand how Clinton, who claimed to learn so much regarding how to advocate for health care change in 1993, has obviously changed her own position). Too liberal for whom, I have no idea.

Next up: Obama actually helped poor people, hands-on. Obviously, he's dangerous.

While the senator was vague, her campaign pointed out to ABC News examples of Obama's liberal positions, including his 2004 statement to abolish mandatory minimum sentences for federal crimes. They also pointed out a statement Obama made in 2003 that he was "a proponent of a single payer health care program," which he no longer seems to support today.

I don't think he's any more liberal than she is.

in the context of pointing out liberal positions by Obama.

Now he's a guy who courts GOpers in the Dem primaries, speaks highly of Reagan and gives props to the Newt Gingrich GOP while taking shots at the Clintons.

Assuming they are right (and I don't agree) doesn't her change in health care plans she prefers point to the same tactic - running to the middle? Is this the Rovian "paint the opponent with your own greatest weakness strategy" in full effect?

You could set your watch by it couldn't you?

The perception about her for a decade+ among Repukes and Indeps is that she is an "establishment liberal", and "panders" to the middle. In other words, she's not real.

Here's how she sees herself - 25% moderate 75% conservative.
Obama is 75% moderate, 25% conservative
Edwards is 25% moderate, 75% liberal.

That's how I see the candidates.

On the health care issue, I still think he's being consistent, notwithstanding the cut-and-splice video on the HRC website. But what's the alleged myth - that's he consistent? Or that he's not a politician? Because if it's the later, then I was right in what I said initially - they want to make people feel that he's been as scheming as she has.

Ronald Reagan....argghhhhh I'M soooo confused! Only a blond could get me this confused!

Obama won the rural, more conservative areas of Nevada. I don't think the "liberal" label is quite appropriate. And I don't think your analysis holds water.

But Liberal? I don't think so.

whaaaaaaa?

none of them are liberal enough

Figures.

She's been there four more years, but give me a break. She's been called "too liberal" by Republicans for over a decade right? Why does she use the other side's attacks on Obama?
