liberalism and the democratic party are not interchangeable terms. i referred to the democratic party deliberately for that exact reason.
i'm only going to say it once more: i don't claim to be a centrist, just that my decidedly conservative position is often a more attractive alternative to radical liberalism for moderates who (by virtue of a limited range of viable political parties) are often forced to make a choice.

And I will say it once more...the notion that the Democrats are pushing a radical leftist agenda is a symptom of the narrow political discourse in this country. I actually am a left-winger and I've known quite a few "radicals." None of them are Democrats. In fact, the real radical left has been disapproving of the Dems for years and years. The political noise in this coutry has reduced the debate to two dimensional caricatures of ideologies, but that doesn't mean that we have to believe it.
