94. Perhaps
Perhaps they are not all against the death penalty but originally liberals were. I think what happened is that con men with a ton of money like Limbaugh called Democrats liberals, and from that the Democrats adopted reactionary politics from the insults of the right wing.

When one looks at the attitudes on this board this is the exact attitude of Democrats toward liberals now, but also these attitudes by Democrats towards liberals is the same now as it was more then 50 years ago when liberalism became a party, and a movement.

I can assure you if JFK was around the anti Death penalty would be a cause JFK would support. Why? He supported the anti-death penalty movement when the New York State liberals had it on their platform, and some say JFK being a card carrying member of the Liberal Party gave him the votes that were needed to be elected president.

As a liberal I sort of accept it as part of being a liberal, the attacks from Democrats and Republicans. When Limbaugh screams liberals are this and that, I actually smile, because he gives us much more power then we really have.

What Limbaugh really means when he says liberals is Democrats.

Note: I changed the article because I did not want to discuss
points that were in the article, when I seen it was and issue here. I mainly wanted to focus on are the Republicans sponsoring Dean on purpose, so they can win in 2004.
