It’s almost ironic
The Bush administration is mounting an aggressive effort to counter a Knight Ridder story that described Supreme Court nominee Samuel Alito as a committed judicial conservative.
The administration’s response - delivered separately Tuesday by the White House and the Justice Department - reflects its determination to defend Alito and its sensitivity to the “conservative” label for him.
The attack came after Senate Democrats circulated Knight Ridder’s assessment of Alito’s judicial record for possible use against him at his confirmation hearings next month.
C’mon, somebody.
Cry me a river about how liberals have made “conservative” a dirty word.
Conservative and proud! Actually, Bush is far too liberal for me.
Questions:
What’s the difference between a “progressive” and a “liberal”. (sounds like there should be a punchline in there somewhere.)
And wasn’t it you folks who began calling yourselves “progressives” because conservatives made “liberal” a dirty word?
Yes.
Besides the blindingly obvious, is there anything else you’ve been missing?
“Besides the blindingly obvious, is there anything else you ve been missing?”
Yes….intelligent and rational discussion led by the fine “progressive” sponsor of this site.
Progressive…a true misnomer if ever I heard one.
