Actually, you uninformed emotional American-hating liberal sycophant, it was Hillary Clinton who, in 2003, said:

“I am sick and tired of people who say that if you debate and you disagree with this administration somehow you’re not patriotic. We should stand up and say we are Americans and we have a right to debate and disagree with any administration.”

And to your comment that now since Brown is in office, we can look forward to 3 more years of nothing getting done- um, you just admitted that Obama hasn’t gotten anything done in his first year. How’s that Hope and Change working out for ya?

Now run along and go watch Gossip Girl episodes you have on your DVR. The adults are trying to talk here.

NOW THAT BROWN IS IN OFFICE WE CAN LOOK FORWARD TO 3 MORE YEARS OF NOTHING GETTING DONE
WE COULD HAVE LEFT BUSH IN OFFICE

This is a monumental shift in U.S. politics. Ever since the electoral debacle of 1984 Democrats have shied away from the liberal and progressive ideology. Even when they have believed in these ideals they have made an effort to hide them. Jesse Jackson can be identified as the last serious out-of-the-closet liberal candidate in a Democratic primary.

The reason for avoiding the labels was a good one: it was assumed that the U.S. electorate was moderate or perhaps slightly right of the center. Whether it’s polling or for other other reasons, that belief no longer holds among Axelrod et al. This means that the nation will finally see a real debate between liberalism and something else. But what will that something else be?
