Yes I'm keeping the old definition of "classical liberal" -- which, there's nothing wrong with those folks or their philosophy -- as far away from Obama as possible. That might be dogbert's gripe as well, not sure though.He's definitely not a classical liberal. He's a progressive. There's a huge difference but the "progressive" term isn't well understood, so most folks stick with "liberal."Again, will you people stop calling him a Liberal. I should seriously get a giant poster and stick it to the wall of every thread so that ignorant lie will end.
Liberal or progressive, he was the most left Senator when he was there. which wasn't much. In IL his most significant votes were on abortion while alive.
Today, "Liberal" too often is used when people actually mean "far-left wacko."
