40. No, sorry, words have meanings
They can't just mean whatever you want them to.

In the abstract, how would you describe a politician who:

- starts a war against a country that did not attack us
- continues two other wars, surges in one of them (592 dead due to surge)
- drone attacks in other soveriegn nations
- supports tax cuts for wealthiest 1%
- supports cuts for poor, children, weakest among us
- goes after medical marijuana in states where it is legal
- claims power to assassinate Americans with no due process of law
- claims vast executive powers to start wars without Congress

and on and on and on

What would you call this politician? A liberal? Please. Words have meanings. If you support those policies, you are NOT A LIBERAL.
