24. Kerry and Edwards were afraid of Liberal tag |

I am a huge Kerry supporter, but if you watched the debate on Sunday when they ask him and the others if they were liberals he hemmed and hawed a bit. He basically said it was silly to call him the most liberal senator (true, but why act like it's an insult) and started naming off conservative (fiscal) votes he has made. Edwards was no better and Kucinich and SHarpton (not surprisingly) had the best responses. Kerry needs to defend the true defention as a progressive for equality in life. People are afraid of Nader and then they alienate people who are the most liberal with those answers. There is sound reasoning behind a centralist positions, but don't sell out the left.
