A tip for the Clinton News Network: Whatever you're paying Bill Schneider to be a political analyst, it's too much. Here's  (http://newsbusters.org/blogs/brad-wilmouth/2008/01/03/cnn-dem-voters-are-pretty-moderate-republicans-very-conservative)what Schneider discerned from the Hawkeye Cauci:

    Republicans are very conservative. […] But Democrats are pretty moderate voters.

Schneider bases his claim on voter self-descriptions. It seems even some liberals realize they will be dismissed as cranks if they describe themselves as "very liberal." So they call themselves moderate, for the same reason Schneider calls himself a "political analyst" instead of the more accurate term "moonbat propagandist."

I think it's more like "Democrats are moderate because they think the way I do!", if ya wanna grab your Liberal to English dictionary, you'll find that entry.

It's telling that liberals run away from their own label. I wear the conservative label with pride, or rather Neo-Con!  :cheersmate:

Indeed.

It is a rather telling contrast.
