I don't like appeasing lazy people, but you've implied that I am either a liar or am deranged, so I feel the need to respond to that. Here are some links you can take a look at, if it isn't too difficult for you. Or perhaps you would like me to come to your home and read them to you?

PHILADELPHIA, July 28 -- The moderate Democratic group that helped elect Bill Clinton to the White House in 1992 warned today that Democrats were headed for defeat if they presented themselves as an angry "far left" party fighting tax cuts and opposing the war in Iraq.

The warning, by the Democratic Leadership Council, an organization of moderate Democrats that helped move the party to the center 10 years ago, was largely a response to the popularity enjoyed in early presidential primary states by Howard Dean, the former governor of Vermont.

But the group's leaders said their concerns went beyond Dr. Dean and reflected what they feared was an emerging perception of the entire Democratic presidential field as supportive of liberal policies that the council rejected long ago.

PHILADELPHIA -- The Democratic Party is "currently in its weakest position since the dawn of the New Deal," Mark Penn, a pollster for President Bill Clinton, told party centrists Monday.
Penn, citing the declining percentage of Americans who identify themselves as Democrats, issued his warning to more than 300 elected officials attending a two-day conference of the Democratic Leadership Council. The organization, the springboard for Clinton's first presidential campaign in 1992 and the source of many of his policy proposals, was formed in 1986 to wrest control of the party from its liberal wing.

Armed with Poll, DLC States Its Case for Steering Party
By Dick Polman
Fearing that antiwar liberals will spoil Democratic prospects in the presidential race, the party's pro-business moderates yesterday brandished a new survey which contends that, in terms of voter loyalty, Democrats are in their worst shape "since the dawn of the New Deal."

Translation: At its annual summer meeting, the centrist Democratic Leadership Council renewed its three-month feud with presidential candidate Howard Dean, the former Vermont governor who has galvanized left-leaning activists with his outspoken attacks on President Bush and Dean's opposition to the war in Iraq.

And there is much more, if you care to look yourself. All of the stories above are FROM ONE DAY. If they can spew that much hate towards liberals in one day, how can you contend they aren't anti-liberal?

And would you care to rescind your allegation that this stuff is "made up in my mind"?
