He does seem to have known exactly what to say to get elected senator from 
the most "liberal" state in the country.

Yesterday, I think, somebody posted a link & statement about the definitions 
of "Liberalism", and about how wonderful it all really is.

Liberalism is indeed a much misunderstood and abused word. But, it's 
"spin-doctoring" useage is what is one of the main particles of today's 
political maneuvers to deceive clear-thinking.

Norman Thomas, who was the head of the American Socialist Party in the 
1920's, and who ran for "President" on a few occassions, said, (to wit),

"The American people will never accept "Socialism" under that name, for the 
stories of what came out of the Russian, Communist takeover. But, Americans 
WILL accept Socialism under the name of, "Bleeding Heart Liberalism", until 
they will wake up one day socialist, and will never know how it happened."

If you look at the myriad policies that have infected our National mentality, 
which are indeed causing us many severe consternations, they mostly stem 
from, "Bleeding Heart Liberlism" thought mandates.

Liberalism means to be, " giving, altruistic, generous, etc......", but, not 
to the point of self or National destruction. But, that is how it is coyly 
being used against us, as a people.

Remember the story of the, "Pied Piper of Hamlin"? Don't be lead like a rat 
to your own drowning.
