" But suggestions that she is "a liberal republican or a conservative dem," to take one example of a quotation I read today, should stop here. By her voting record in Congress, Hillary Clinton is squarely in the mainstream of the national Democratic party in America, and would be a good ideological fit for it as its nominee. If anyone tries to tell you differently, ask them to show their work. "

1. Except on the issues which are actually important to liberals

Labor, taxing the wealthy, single payer, unfair trade, banking regulation, etc....

2. You want to trash Hillary, that is what the rest of DU is for. This is the Hillary group

go find another place to peddle your wares

Says a lot that some Sanders supporters have no respect for special groups or their rules

She is also rated as a liberal Democrat:

4. Maybe you should provide a link, she has been a friend of labor, wants to repeal the

Bush tax cuts to the wealthy, has been for universal health care and presented this to congress in the 90's, has worked to provide fair trade and has a better plan on banking regulations and supported the Dodd Frank bill and wants to keep the Dodd Frank bill and invoke the Volcker rule which places more regulations on banks.

14. That's why we need a safe haven.

We value facts.

They don't.

Indisputable opinion is much more important than those pesky facts!

You really need to study up.

3. Republican have user "The Big Lie" on Clinton for a couple of decades.

The far left has taken up the "The Big Lie" and run with it.

Those I know actually have come to believe it.

That, however, doesn't mean it is not a big lie.

10. It's very sad that the radical left feels compelled to reduce themselves this way

I used to scoff at the "conservative" idea of self-loathing liberals but I guess that proves once again that even broken clocks are right twice a day. The radical left should be ashamed of themselves.
