not a liberal

This latest entry on the unofficial Harold Ford blog would be funny if it wasn’t so sad:

Liberal He Is Not

…

Despite their best attempts, the GOP just can’t paint Harold Ford Jr. as a liberal.

…

Even the media recognizes that Ford is no liberal.

…

The Memphis Flyer thinks Ford is too conservative

…

As Congressman Ford himself said, “My opponents will try to paint me as some liberal. The problem is I’m pro-family, I’m pro-business, I’m pro-gun, I’m pro-tax cut for middle-class families.”

So wait, I’m confused. Is he a liberal or not? Because, I mean, god forbid a Democrat paint himself as anything but a Republican Lite. Also, I think it’s great that we finally have a pro-family candidate for Senate. No longer must we stand for the wanton slaughter of innocent families by rogue anti-family Senators.
