You might be (D-Milquetoast) if ...

You can't say the economy is better now than in late 2008. (Make any exceptions you want afterward.)

You can't remind Ali Velshi that the Simpson-Bowles Commission made no official recommendations.

Your last name is Huffington.

You "join the conversation" with Joe Scar.

You call the $700 billion from Medicare a "cut" rather than a "savings".

You can't tell people that their new car was a gift of the stimulus.

You say that Obama is less ethical or less constitutional that GWB.

You can't remind people that Romney wouldn't "move heaven and earth" (Ann Romney's words) to capture or kill Bin Laden.

What have I missed?
