(11,213 posts)I know it is easier to just look at what someone else tells you, but look at the definitions for their labeling. Look at the questions.
If you ask me if I approve of Obama over w.bush, I would say yes. Ask me if I approve of a Democrat over a republican, I would say yes. Ask me if I approve of how he handled the banks, of his education program, of his NSA stance. Then you get another answer.
Do you approve of his work with the banks and wall street? Do you approve of his push for privatizing schools and cutting teacher unions? Do you approve of he actions of the NSA and how those actions were represented by the administration? Those answer yes to any of these three, I do not consider to be a liberal Democrat. They might vote Democratic. They might call themselves a Democrat. But they don't fall into the category of liberal Democrat. Not by the definition of liberal Democrat that other liberal Democrats like myself have been using for the last 40 years.
