Bush is liberal.

I wouldn't call Bush a liberal.  Socially he's extremely conservative.  Economically he's irresponsible.  He cuts taxes and raises the budget.  That is just plain irresponsible.

How is he extremely conservative socially? He is less so than Reagan or his father. Just because he disagrees with gay marraige? So does 75% of the country, and 60% wants amendment to ban it, so theres nothing extreme about that. He disagrees with abortion. So does over 50% of the country. He disagrees with Affirmative action. So does 50% of the country. How is any of that extreme?

All judges in my view should be moderates in the mould of the likes of Earl Warren... Warren Christopher would have been an ace Supreme court judge! the thing is Bush just appoints arch-conservatives to the bench and that upsets the balance... did Clinton actually appoint any real liberals to the bench? I would see Kerry appointing Moderates as even with a dem senate and congress moderate dems would only allow moderates while in the likely scenario of both houses being GOP there’s no way any body except moderates will get appointed... could Breaux be a contender?

Earl Warren was working for the Republican party. Didn't you see the Oliver Stone movie "JFK"? He covered it up when the Republicans had Kennedy assassinated.

Bush traded Sammy Sosa away.

I don't know much about Bush's record in Texas but his political philosophy would be best described as, survival or strategery. Those are the dangerous philosophies he tries to follow.

I think Bush's group didn't officially get the Rangers until the year after he was traded. Oh well, I don't like the Rangers anyway

He is against gun control and for capital punishment

Clinton was for capitol punishment, and Dean is against gun control

Dean or Clinton were not liberals.

The term liberal is relative. It's differant for differant people. Clinton presented himself as a moderate. Dean presented himself as being ultra-liberal, whether he is or isnt is another story. I think they are both liberal. You think Bush is conservative. Its not a set in stone thing. All politicians form the two major parties are liberals. Its just to what degree they are liberal. However thats by American standards of what the term liberal means. To me, liberalism is based on government control. the bigger and more powerful the government, the more conservative it is. I consider myself a liberal in that I believe in absolute limited government. I am a year away from being able to vote, but I'm sure I will vote Libertarian in small local elections, because they are true liberals
