A fun read about the labels that are thrown around during the election, especially the dreaded "liberal" word and the ever-popular McGovern comparisons. I guess we'll be looking at another campaign where everyone runs like hell from the liberal label. My favorite part of the column was about McGovern:
He was, and is, a left-liberal. The Republican offering that year was Richard Nixon (with Spiro Agnew for dessert), but it is the Democrats who have been apologizing for their choice ever since.How true indeed! Along those lines, why do we allow the right to keep pushing this nonsense? When I hear "conservative" I think of intolerance, fear-mongering, ignorance and other unflattering qualities. What comes to mind when you hear someone talk about a conservative? Let's help make "conservative" a word that makes them run from.
