1980 is the correct answer, in modern terms.

Carter was a Southern conservative. Why do you think he and Ted Kennedy hated each other so much?

I am pretty sure it is a myth that Republicans were Liberal.Plus hasn't the definition of the word Liberal changed in the last 200 years?

In the US: Liberal = Left-wing

Outside the US: Liberal = Right-wing, pro free-market

Yeah in Australia our right-wing party is called the Liberal Party and the word "liberal" is used either in reference to the party or to classical liberalism.
