In reply to the discussion: Serious questions for those who are convinced that Obama, Clinton, and Gore are not liberals. [View all]Buzz Clik
(38,437 posts)There are A LOT of people at DU these days who are totally convinced that Bill Clinton, Al Gore, and Obama are traitors to the liberal cause, conservative sell-outs, or just plain conservatives. Maybe you my thread is the only one you've read for a while, and perhaps you did not read any of the responses to my OP that completely validate this notion. I disagree that those three are not liberals, and I have argued that point on various threads. The responses to me have been generally angry and deal with things like NAFTA, "Obamacare", and other pet issues that these folks despise.
So, that's the context.
My motivation for posting the OP was to quite honestly get a sense from those who have no use for Obama, Gore, and Clinton just who fits the criteria of being a liberal. And once those people were named, for an honest assessment of whether or not they would be electable to the presidency.
So there it is.
I am going to guess that you are now going to tell my why you're initial impression is correct. I won't agree with you, but I'm interested in knowing why.
