IMO those parties were not that liberal. I am talking about your "free medical attention for all, no guns at all, and free social services for all no matter what, abortion on demand up until birth" kind of liberals. Those were not the parties of the people you mentioned. I see what you are saying, but think you are mistaken in your using liberal when I think you mean extreme liberal. In any event, our argument here is moot, because the R's are so far into the religious right, that the middle of the road D's like Clinton was seem unliberal to liberals. The R's have successfully supplanted the def. of liberal IMO.
