In every election to me, there is a clear choice. I cannot imagine voting for any Democrat other than Kennedy, who wasn't a liberal.
You mean the Kennedy who negotiated with America's enemies? Or the Kennedy who paid for an increase in social security benefits through an increase in payroll tax? Or the Kennedy who fought to create Medicare, which would later be created under LBJ? Or the Kennedy who said "I'm proud to say I'm a Liberal"? Or the Kennedy who raised the minimum wage?
For someone who wasn't a Liberal, he sure acted like one.
