The left does not want the truth to be exposed.
We saw how Democrats held their tongues and refused to criticize Bill Clinton (they could not concede any conservative arguments). They even suffered through supporting the Clinton Administration's excesses at Waco and in the Elian kidnapping.
Well I am here to say that the left is even more embarassed by the hard left turn that Democrats exhibit now.
Penn Jillette is a self-declared "little l" libertarian (then again so was Bill Maher) and he recently said that he thinks that Michael Moore is a Republican agent (he makes the left look that bad).
I've heard other leftists (just in conversation) being put off by the socialists at Pacifica radio, the conspiracy theories, the "victimized" whine. They hate Bush (and some don't but they are hesitant to admit it, a few will) but there is absolutely nothing that makes them want to see John Kerry as president for 4 years.
