Carl Sanders - Now, he may have been a moderate Democrat.

He certainly was a lot classier than Carter. Then again, so is your average sewer rat.
To: EveningStar
He never lost an election: that’s not true of David Pryor, Mr. Bill, Winthrop Rockefeller, Orval Eugene Faubus, J. William Fulbright, Frank D. White, Asa Hutchinson, Mike Huckabee, and so many others. His hatred of Jesse Helms is what I remember most about Mr. “Dandy Dale”.

I'll never forget that name. This has remained one of my favorite hockey images of all time. LOL.

I would never have sent it to him because he was so liberal, but I always thought it would be clever if he put out stickers for his supporters’ cars saying, “I’M STUCK ON BUMPERS”.

there used to be socially conservative democrats...just like many pubs back in the early 60's were downright liberals...Jacob Javits for one....
but I have no use for any politicos protecting grifters,rapists,mafiosa, and other crooks....that says something about character when they protect such people...

Dear Media, is it MODERATE or it is LIBERAL ? It can't be both...

Time to update the Body Count? Yeah, because people in their 90s never die naturally.

Turns out I’m wrong: Bumpers lost a 1962 race for the Arkansas state House in which his father, William Rufus Bumpers, had previously servedLike the father of Mr. Bill, William Rufus Bumpers died in a car wreck.

Sometimes the terms are nearly interchangeable, certainly for all practical purposes, they are mostly interchangeable. Everett McKinley Dirksen was called “conservative” but was at the beckon call of his friend LBJ even though Dirksen backed Goldwater in 1964.

You must not be Arkansan. People there truly believed in “Dandy Dale,” as he was humorously called.

If they were or are phonies, dj, it’s what the American people truly desired.

Javits was not a liberal. He was a Socialist, close to the old Communist wing of the GOP (and yes, in NY, there was one).
To: ExCTCitizen
To them, it’s interchangeable. “Liberalism” is “Moderate.” Anything to the right of far-left is a pejorative.
To: Theodore R.
Dirksen died before he could refute the media whitewash of history that the Dems were the Civil Rights party.
