6. From today's right-wing GOP, Ronald Reagan looks like a liberal.

But you are correct. The liberal label was often thrown at Bayh.

We need to be much more aggressive in challenging that kind of demagogery. "What do you mean by 'Liberal' ?"

"Tell me exactly what policies you disagree with and tell me what your solution would be instead."

None of them is capable of any intelligent response to those simple questions. We must call them out on that every single day. "Don't just toss out vague labels. Tell me how you would solve this problem."

We can't wait 4 years to do that. We have to do it every single day.
