I don't like determining that someone is liberal or conservative based only on a few issues, any more than I like the idea of voting for a candidate based only on a few issues. Also, let's not forget that it wasn't long ago that policing the world and helping spread democracy were considered Democratic positions. I'm glad to see certain Democrats moving away from that, but Clinton's positions aren't exactly "conservative," any more than McCain is "liberal" simply due to his immigration and global climate change opinions.
