Kerry-Edwards is the

[GAMEFACE]

most liberal ticket ever. They crash and burn. Americans can't stand liberal politicians.

 

[xpanda]

Well, let's hope they can't stand them less than they can't stand neoconservative politicians.

 

[D2bets]

This is not anywhere close to the most liberal Dem ticket ever. Gameface, how young are you?

 

[GAMEFACE]

D2,
I'm 33. Kerry is the most liberal senator in the senate and Edwards is the 4th most liberal. That's pretty darn liberal. What ticket do you believe is more liberal. You could be right Mondale was extremely liberal and lost all but one state, so you could be right.

 

[Mr NJ Sports]

I hope everyone got down on GOP-140 while it was available.

 

[WildBill]

Why pay -140 if it is -114 right now? If you are so confident going against this latest move why aren't you putting your life savings on it?

I don't care how liberal these guys are, all I know is Congress will still be Republican and last time I checked they create all the bills and budgets...the President just signs them or vetoes them.

 

[D2bets]

Mondale, Carter, George McGovern just to name a few were more liberal. Kerry is nowehere near the most liberal in the Senate. There are plenty of others who, if they were running, you would say is the most liberal. I wouldn't even say Kerry is in the top half of most liberal among Senate Dems. But since he and Edwards are running of course you're going to throw around the label in full force.

 

[GAMEFACE]

D2,
It's a fact Kerry is the most liberal (documented by his voting habits) and Edwards is number 4. So they probably edge out the others you mentioned. I believe Ted Kennedy is 2nd or 3rd, imagine that Kerry is left of Kennedy. This is all based on voting habits. This is not my opinion, so double check. Yes I agree with you Mondale, Carter and Mcgovern are all very liberal and all lost in landslides.

 

[D2bets]

Documented how, and according to who? Whether a vote is "liberal" is an opinion of someone, not a fact. And by the way, I don't see liberal as a dirty word. I'm quite proud to be liberal. I'm also a moderate. This is not inconsistent either.

 

[jimbutorac]

Gotta go with D2. Mondale-Ferraro and McGovern (I forgot his running mate but they only took Massachusetts and DC) would be the most liberal.

Americans for Democratic Action rates how left a candidate/congressman is. Mondale's lifetime rating was 90%, and Ferraro was 79%. Kerry's rating is 92%, with Edwards 81% (I'm surprised it is that high).

Of course, Kerry won't tell a nationwide audience that he is going to raise your taxes, so the charges of liberalism will be harder to make stick.

 

[GAMEFACE]

D2,
National liberal candidates cannot win in America if they admit to being liberal. They always try to convince you they are somewhere in the middle, which Kerry and Edwards are not.

 

[truthteller]

It's a FACT. Kerry/Edwards is the most liberal ticket ever.

The ambulance chaser raised health care cost so much only his buddy Kerry can now afford a band aid at the hospital.

 

[SENDITIN]

Right on Gameface....Kerry/Edwards will now start creeping toward the right and try to get away with it. Look at Kerry's comment about abortion...the libs must be beside themselves after that one.

 

[D2bets]

Senditin, of course he'll creep to the right just as Bush tried to creep to the left in 2000 with his compassionate conservative mumbo-jumbo.

 

[SENDITIN]

Bush isn't afraid to say he's a conservative. Let's see if Kerry/Edwards will embrace their liberalism on the campaign stops...instead of running away from the label.

 

[Shotgun]

I didn't see Bush going to the left after he won the 2000 primaries; the compassionate conservatism was coined when he first announced he was running. He has moved to the center since being elected (I'm being kind...much of what Bush has done on the domestic side would make liberals ecstatic if he only had a different last name), but prior to the election there wasn't much waffling.
