[Bloody Sam Roberts]

"A conservative is just a liberal who got mugged.”Unless I'm mistaken, the actual quote was, "A Liberal is just a Conservative who hasn't been mugged yet."

I could be wrong but that's how I recall it. Same idea, different twist.

“A Liberal is just a Conservative who hasn’t been mugged yet.”

I’m pretty sure he did say that; it’s definitely how I remember it.

There’s a great chance he said it both ways, depending on the context of the discussion.
