Really? He's always been a standard fare liberal with some quirks like Social Security.

The ironic part is that in 2010 he got the support of most of RI's unions, including my own (AFT). For the AFT not to endorse the Democrat shows you just how pathetic the RI Democratic Party is.

He's actually a rare American example of a "real" liberal as in the European sense. Plus the way he floats around parties and switches positions would fit him in the Liberal Democrats well too.

Has there ever been a single, all-encompassing "real" (i.e. "authentic') liberal viewpoint?

Centrist, maybe a little left of center.

I hate the cliche responses, but he really doesn't seem to have a very strong one.  I'd guess left of center overall, but I'm extremely suspicious of how genuine anyone who switches parties is.

Everybody in the thread seems to make grand statements with no evidence beyond him changing parties.
