He voted against the tax cuts.

At least he agrees with us on the death penalty and the need to actually have an energy policy.


Some elements of the tax cuts!... this was how he voted...

Voted NO on $350 billion in tax breaks over 11 years. (May 2003)
Voted NO on cutting taxes by $1.35 trillion over 11 years. (May 2001)
Voted YES on reducing marriage penalty instead of cutting top tax rates. (May 2001)
Voted YES on increasing tax deductions for college tuition. (May 2001)
Rated 26% by NTU, indicating a "Big Spender" on tax votes. (Dec 2003)

...and another liberal John Breaux voted...

Voted NO on $350 billion in tax breaks over 11 years. (May 2003)
Voted YES on cutting taxes by $1.35 trillion over 11 years. (May 2001)
Voted NO on reducing marriage penalty instead of cutting top tax rates. (May 2001)
Voted YES on increasing tax deductions for college tuition. (May 2001)
Rated 36% by NTU, indicating a "Big Spender" on tax votes. (Dec 2003)

...so how does this make him a liberal?

I don't understand you dislike for Evan Bayh Philip, that said its an impressive stand you take trying argue that he's a radical liberal.

Opposing tax cuts is extreme in that it means supporting a 50% tax burden.


[Exasperation takes hold]

Bayh has supported Tax cuts when he thinks there sustainable, it is a fairly moderate position to argue that Bush's tax cuts are not sustainable in the long term and are potentially detrimental!
