64. Don't listen to what they say, look at their records, how they vote, WHO IS FUNDING THEM

because as we all know by now, they will ALL sound 'ultra Liberal' during campaign season.

I don't much care what they say anymore, unless they have already proven themselves.

There are only a few whose words would mean anything to me..

Kucinich, Russ Feingold, Warren, though I'm not sure of her position on FP, and Sanders.

The rest I would have to check their funding and their records no matter what they sound like right now.

It's interesting, how the party trashes and silences the Left, but how much they try to cater to them during Campaign season, then when they win, go right back to ignoring and/or trashing them again.

So the Left needs to be very wary of anyone sounding liberal when their records show otherwise.
