Why do Republicans claim every single year that this year, their opponent is the most liberal opponent they've ever faced? Obama was the most liberal in 2007, but he wasn't present then as often as he was in previous years, and in those previous years, he wasn't close to the most liberal senator. And the abortion fearmongering is just nonsense, but I don't want to threadjack any more than I already have.
