1) On Ethanol. In its infancy it was a decent idea that was supposed to use low impact crops to produce Ethanol fuel. It's current unworkable concoction is not the fault of 'the left' and was entirely the creation of an out of control agri-business lobby. The left would have been happier with actual electric cars such as the EV-1.

2) Media censorship. To my knowledge, neither Hillary or Gore were extreme leftists. As a matter of fact Tipper Gores involvement with the PMRC stems back from the Gores' engagement with the DLC. He was a rather active and early member in the 1980's. And among the candidates up on stage, Hillary was among the most conservative Democrats running in 2008.

3) Military non-involvement. Well you mention Iraq, I should think that merely mentioning it should be a ringing endorsement of 'the left.' As far as Rawanda goes, it was not the left that was dragging its feet in the effort to stop Genocide. Those rare media outlets that 'The Left' goes to inform itself such as Democracy Now were decrying what was occurring there and calling on those in power to do something.
