the G-man said:
I don't know too many conservatives who are insulted at being called "conservative." Therefore, it's intersting that liberals would be insulted at being called "liberals."

Why is that?

Are liberals self loathing? Or are do they believe that their views are out of the mainstream and that they can only get to power if they hide them?

There's another thread where I've mentioned several GOP candidates who are campaigning as "independents". I don't think their self loathing but more of a case of they know they can't win on their real record.



Actually, your thread was about them distancing themselves from Bush, and the republican party, not conservatism.

Also, WB makes, again, the good point that we (the Right Wing of the RKMBs) have actually cited democrats who have criticized the war in respectful, constructive ways, including Bill Clinton and Joe Biden.
