Mark Green: Dilettante Wanker or Patrician Liberal?

[Max Sawicky]

Just because Green has earned the tag of
"liberal" does not mean he should get the
benefit of the doubt as the lesser evil,
especially in a local election.  You can
be liberal on some things and rotten on
others, and liberal on nothing but very
good on some things.  For instance,
Gov Casey of PA (no relation, I presume)
was pro-life but very supportive of higher
social spending.

The definition of "liberal" tends to arise
as if by decision tree, wherein the initial
questions are more about things like the
environment, civil liberties, and discrimination;
mundane things like food, clothing & shelter
are deferred till when a candidate gets over the
first set of hurdles.  Some issues are held to
be absolute, while on others great flexibility
is afforded. In fact, hardly anything is absolute;
most issues run to shades of gray.
