Have you noticed that nobody except for Far Right extremists just says "Liberal" to attack opponents?

If they start calling us "limousine liberals" or add other things to it, then you know that "Liberal" by itself is no longer a dirty word.

1. My dentist told me last week
that for his entire adult life he has considered himself somewhere between moderate and conservative but Chimpy has totally transformed him into a liberal. He said "I can't see myself ever again voting for a Republican".
