Reply #12: He appeals to their emotions

[Bertrand]

much of the same criticism the Dems here have dished out to the Repubs. On the issues, he is conservative. He was in favour of raising the SS age until Kucinich called him out on it. His record in Vermont is that of cutting social spending in order to balance the budget. He has come out in favour of Massive Nation Building by proposing to increase the afghanistan troop limit by 300%. He is a conservative with liberal tendencies, which is appealing to Dems in todays climate because he stands up for himself and the Dem Party.
