STING2,
If you really think this then YOU have presumed wrong.
You may not be putting words in peoples mouth but you are painting with a broad stroke and you are way off base.
You can toss around the word liberal like a curse word all you want but this country was founded on liberal ideas.
*sigh* never mind this is a FYM subject anyway..
Peace
I think it depends on your meaning of the word "liberal". Do you mean "classical liberal" as in the thoughts and writings of men like Adam Smith or do you mean modern liberal like Howard Dean or Ted Kennedy?
I think what Sting is saying is correct...I'm sure the man can't be pigeonholed into thinking like one group. The way many people around here talk, you would think he was at the head of ANSWER, MoveOn.Org, etc. Painting with a broad stroke is lumping all Rice, helms, Rumsfield into one box. Do people honestly think Republicans think monolithically?
I just want to add that I am a huge Rice fan...She is one of the smartest Sec. of State in a while. Too bad she did not get the opportunity during the 80s. She is quite the expert on the USSR as evident by her academic journal articles on the topic.
